I’ve been a (paying) customer of Google Domains for quite a number of years now. Better options have arisen for my needs over the years (largely family name domain parking and email aliases/forwarding), but it honestly hasn’t been worth my time to bother rejiggering everything and transferring it all out.

I guess now it is? How bad is Squarespace for this sort of “set it and forget it” kinda thing?

good luck
Not to belabor the point but from my perspective you've illustrated the point about cognitive bias: it always feels like the other person started it and did worse ("I feel a bit like a guy Tony Soprano beat up and being forced to apologize afterwards to him for bruising his knuckles") and it always feels like one was merely defending oneself reasonably ("merely expressing distaste"). This is the asymmetry I'm talking about.

As you can imagine, mods get this kind of feedback all the time from all angles. The basic learning it adds up to is that everybody always feels this way. Therefore those feelings are not a reliable compass to navigate by.

This is not a criticism—I appreciate your reply!

Edit:

> forcing people to be saccharine [...] like a simulacrum of an HR department

We definitely don't want that and the site guidelines don't call for that. There is tons of room to make your substantive points thoughtfully without being saccharine. It can take a little bit of reflective work to find that room, though, just because we (humans in general) tend to get locked into binary oppositions.

The best principle to go by is just to ask yourself: is what I'm posting part of a curious conversation? That's the intended spirit of the site. It's possible to tell if you (I don't mean you personally, I mean all of us) are functioning in the range of curiosity and to refrain from posting if you aren't.

It is true that the HN guidelines bring a bit of blandness to discourse because they eliminate the rough-and-tumble debate that can work well in much smaller groups of close peers. But that's because that kind of debate is impossible in a large public forum like HN—it just degenerates immediately into dumb brawls. I've written about this quite a bit if you or anyone wants to read about that:

And who should have that power of implementation? You, because of your opinion? The companies? Or the people who bought and paid for the devices?

It is emphatically not the case that there exists any meaningful difficulty or cost to do the implementation. Just open/root the devices for those who choose to do so and let them go. Or would you rather limit freedom?

That's one of my favorite parts of reddit. Accounts are just pseudonyms, and you can generate as many as you want. I personally generate a new one every few months, which helps keep too much identifying data from building up over time.
Were any of those models generative?
You're missing the point. The point is _NOT_ whether _ANYBODY_ would use them, the point is that you should own your device and be able to install any software on it that you want.

...plus I'm sure some people would use it, at least sometimes.
Or Olympic-sized swimming pools.

multiprocessing needs to run copies of your program that are sufficiently initialised that they can execute the function, yet no initialisation code must be run that should not be run multiple times.

That means you either use fork - which is a major can of worms for a reusable library to use.

Or you write something like this in your entry point module:

if __name__=='__main__':
multiprocessing.freeze_support()
once_only_application_code()

Suppose I don't realise that your library is using multiprocessing, and I carelessly call it from this two-line script:

import library_that_uses_multiprocessing_internally
library_that_uses_multiprocessing_internally.do_stuff()

That's basically a fork bomb.

And where do you put the multiprocessing.set_start_method call? Surely not in the library.
Mostly because they either don’t know any better or they’re resigned that they’ve only ever been sold a locked down device.

It is an abomination. Even the tools apple and Google does provide are awful at backup and file transfer.
Perhaps it will now that third party app stores will be force onto apple. Granted, you still won't be able to jailbreak your iphone by just typing in the root password, but you will probably be able to install compilers and interpreters onto an iphone by 2024.
This is insanely good, thank you very much for the link! Should be a great tool to "bootstrap" some diagrams during brainstorm meetings, or just to put into documentation, and be able to change them later.
The problem you're describing Exists in all engineering disciplines. You don't hire firm to feasibility studies, develop a design plan, do a materials bid, sub contract clearing and construction for your mailbox installation do you? Most people hire a dude hanging out at Home Depot and pay him a flat fee.

The risk and complexity dictate how much architecture and engineering are involved and with all things, businesses will try to get by with a bare minimum. The automotive, chemical, and other industrial sectors invest a lot in software architecture and enterprise architecture because the risk is so high. But even a medium size e-commerce platform has very low risk or complexity.
While previous machines had those possibilities enabled to allow the user to do much more, it also means those possibilities were wide-open to any third-party software that was installed on the machine.

It's not that modern machines can't do those tasks, but that they generally shouldn't do those tasks.
It's not unreasonable for device manufacturers to sandbox and restrict access to functionality to protect the majority of their users.

Even despite these attempts the app stores are full of malware, just imagine how much worse it could be if these apps could also compile their own variants and then abuse Bluetooth/Airdrop to spread it.
How long until the "don't trust Google to not kill a product" feeling becomes so widespread it begins to hurt them? I don't know any historical precedents...
How hard is doing development on Android, really? You can just build the app and run it, can't you? Equating that with Apple's genuinely awful stance is lazy and hurts the cause.
Samsung Dex [0] is bringing that vision back, maybe?

Irony is that javascript handlers on elements were frowned upon in 90s/00s because of separate of concerns that HTML should be HTML and JS should attach it's events in a separate file. Now all of these libraries have an onclick that mirrors those original JS event handlers in the same html with no separation!
Sequence diagrams are very useful, but UML just adopted a representation that already existed decades before. For example, the original 1981 TCP specification in RFC 793 [0] has ASCII sequence diagrams (see figures 7 to 14, etc). I don't know if they predate that - less from that era is online - but I wouldn't be surprised.

Edit: there are a form of sequence diagram in an early FTP specification from 1971:

I would still use my Nokia N900, with literally just enough updating to work on the modern networks, if such a thing were possible.
Indeed, developing directly on the smartphone would be ridiculous. But, to be honest, I have similar feelings to developing directly on a laptop. There's no position I can place it at to have an ergonomic position; I always end up feeling like I'm hunched over a tiny screen. Which is why, when I get into work, I dock it and use an external monitor + kb/m.

So why can't I use my phone as that intermediary 'compute brick' I bring around? Sure, it's significantly less performant, and it would require incredible development work to make a mobile OS than can transition seamlessly into desktop. Well, that's exactly why no one does it.
Jeez, could they have possibly given less notice? Now I have to scramble to migrate all of my domains away from Google/Squarespace this weekend. Damn it.

I have zero desire to be in business with Squarespace.

There's no longer any technical reason why you couldn't hook your cell up to a ~$20 USB-C dock and have a full Android environment with a complete desktop-style setup, driving your monitor, using your mouse, etc.

Every year I'm more surprised this isn't happening more. I get that the empty clamshell laptop you slide a cell phone into never took off, but this just gets cheaper and cheaper every year. The drivers exist, the OS capability mostly or entirely exists, we're just... not doing it. With a dock, you can cobble things together; the TV your dad threw away, a keyboard you found at goodwill, any old mouse. Incredibly accessible; anyone with a phone and that level of access to tech could have a full computing environment.

I have tasted this with my Steam Deck. I have some limited uses for it when I take it places but want it to do just a bit more. I'd love it even more if my cell phone, which has all the computing power it needs for the uses I have, could do it. If I was a student, or less well off, being able to turn my phone into a full computing environment and use it at its full power would be a great way to save money. The only two limitations on cell phones at this point are 1. the IO with the screen and touchscreen and 2. power limitations from being stuck on battery. Other than that they'd be quite credible laptops from ~2013 or 2015 no question, possibly even a few years later. Very capable nowadays.
Amazing. Even a low-effort paid stream for Google meets the graveyard.

Definitely! It has a kind of nice close-knit feel right now that I appreciate. I'm bumping into a few of the same users in different areas.

There was also a funny comment I read early on after joining, something like "only true Redditors aren't on Reddit" in reference to the earlier Redditors leaving in hopes of finding what was lost as it became more mainstream.

Another interesting thing I had to unlearn was to try to optimize everything. As an engineer I want to automate anything I have to do more than three times. But that doesn't work as an AE. You just have to do the same things over and over (cold calling or sending emails, linkedin messages) knowing it's only going to work 25% of the time but that hit rate is good enough.
I'm starting to enjoy federation conversations here just as much as crypto conversations.

I'm so sick of the smug ones, the people saying the protest is useless, the completely missing-the-point statement that most users don't care, and the near gleeful self abuse of people mocking others that don't want to keep using a proprietary platform being sold to china by a liar.

I'm done with Reddit threads on HN. I recommend folks interested in federated networks move these conversations there and let the rest enjoy reddit as it turns into digg.
I've heard this advice summed up as "make yourself a beacon".

i.e. just start talking in a public square. If you talk long enough, you'll find people who want to talk about the same thing, and they'll introduce you to their friends.

IME it works pretty well, and with the internet, it's never been easier.
> Just because a device's hardware is capable of something doesn't mean it makes sense to implement it.

I disagree. If a device's hardware is capable of something, it should be implemented as soon as possible. Now, it shouldn't be forced on everyone, but having options available has traditionally improved software quality a lot. Even if that capability is bad, exposing it sooner is better than realizing it too late.

The difficulty I had just copying things from one phone to another recently was ridiculous. You’re right, this should be a basic function. I have files I’ve copied from computer to computer that were originally from the late 80s.

I am curios why we are still insisting on more productivity for everything.

Isn't productivity loosing value with increasing number of people? All the talk about UBI could be foregone if we could make do with less productivity and employ more people.

Of course I am imagining something "unacceptable".
You don't have to "imagine," you're basically describing most of the history of viruses and Windows. So what?

I'm entirely unconvinced by this sensationalist take; I'm quite certain we've lost more than we've gained from turning general purpose computers into nanny-state locked down devices.

Any real difference in damage would be weight based, as swords were more used for beating than cutting. It's likely that one metal could hold a better edge, and one (perhaps the same) would be more resilient to breaking.

It's not quite like the D&D "this metal is higher ranking and does more damage".
I’d choose to use Xcode on Mac, but you _can_ write apps in Swift Playgrounds on iPad, and even upload them to App Store Connect for publication in the App Store.
> You're claiming that decentralised services won't see wide spread adoption because it doesn't conform to how things work on Reddit.

That is explicitly not what I said. What I said was:

A replacement doesn't have to work how Reddit works. It just has to provide some of the same value.

The beauty of htmx is that it doesn't matter what you use on the backend.

Literally anything that'll render HTML will suffice. Even static HTML files on a web server will do. No need for an application server at all if you're clever and your needs are simple.
I remember an argument made in the context of a Stackoverflow blog post (one of the "which programming language do people use/like the most/least") that Ruby/Rails was dropping off in popularity because it was becoming more common for a new developer to have to work on the "legacy" Rails application (and therefore dislike it because they have difficulty understanding it the same as any application one didn't design themselves).

That seems to track with this if a Rails application is actually more likely to become "legacy" but it could also be the same for Python/Django. I just remember the Ruby/Rails point in particular because that's primarily what I work on.

iOS has come a long way, though. There's a local file system I can access and move files around with. I can run Syncthing on it (with Möbius). I can even run Linux on it (iSH), including a package manager. I can use qpdf to decrypt a PDF I downloaded with Safari, and I can even run Python and compile C code, on the device, with acceptable performance.

It's not the same as a real computer (no daemons or cron jobs), but it can do a lot of the things I want to do when I'm on the go. The only thing I'm missing is running multiple apps side by side, but I guess that's hard on such a tiny screen.
The one in Orlando, he tried to target another place first but it had too much security. He wasn't targeting an LGBTQ establishment. It was a weak target with no security. Believe what you want though but it was investigated. He wanted to kill people. It didn't matter who.

I don't know about the one in Denver but the same could be said for the Vegas shooting and other school shootings or even black communities. It happens.

Regardless, LGBTQ have parades annually in almost every city for decades and many other events. If they were being persecuted they would be beaten in the streets or worse. They are not but again, believe what you want. If you believe it then that is your right. I do not believe they are being persecuted like the Cajuns were in Canada or blacks in MS back during the MS Burning Days. That's not what is going on.
Does anyone know whether or not this ties in with Google Registry (a.k.a. Charleston Road Registry)? That's the entity that owns GTLDs like .app and .dev. I'm going to guess Google is hanging on to that part of it.

Because that is the nature of these SBCs. They aren't some generic queryable platform running UEFI. Instead you have a bespoke OS fork for each individual board. This means that vendors need to give a lot of attention to the software because there isn't a foundation or company taking care of all SBCs at once. The device becomes obsolete very quickly if you can't install recent software. SBC performance hasn't increased much. There are still plenty of boards with A53 cores that have been used for more than a decade.

The modern world is terrifying and confusing, but every so often some small nugget of information comes along that makes profound sense.
Lemmy.

Except Lemmy also adds in the Fediverse stuff, so there's a bit of drama with Beehaw.org and whatever. But as far as Hacker News types go, you probably should just sign up at programming.dev and have fun. (Programming.dev is its own Lemmy).

-----------

"Lemmy" is roughly the threaded-chat style PhpBB-like web-app where you can create your own users and create your own subreddits (now called communities), and talk with everyone.

The Fediverse part comes in because programming.dev talks to beehaw.org, and both sides can crosspost, cross-comment, and seemlessly communicate with each other. But Beehaw.org is scared of new-users (such as those from Lemmy.world), and has cut off Lemmy.world visitors from their site.

So there's a bit of drama to resolve in the "greater Fediverse". But as far as "unique new instance", programming.dev is probably what you want.

If this whole federation / sharing of posts / sharing of communities works out, great. If not, programming.dev can sit by itself in a silo like the old phpbb forums.
My android devices have all come with basic file system browsers, but even better, I can choose from a plethora of full featured apps for full file system access. This is one of the issues that has kept me away from iphone, though.
I can’t remember where I read this (Martin Fowler maybe?), but I agree that “box and line” diagrams should be enough for most design cases.

I was eager to use UML when it came out but I agree with the article, the only thing I kept was sequence diagrams. Most of the rest of it was just a complicated way to represent stuff that is best represented in code or plain documentation.

I’m also not afraid to use stuff that’s out of fashion. I use simplified ER diagrams, and even flow charts on occasion.

But the tool I use most often in design is SQL DDL…

I have also used Mermaid (using a modified Docsy theme in Hugo) and it is also great. Using Typora to edit Mermaid is also excellent.

I’ll tell you what I did years ago and what I advised friends who have broken into the field. Take a dev adjacent job and after some time make an internal move. I’ve had two friends start doing software support and after 12-18 months made the jump to a dev role. Having first hand knowledge of the product you’ll be developing is a huge leg up, and companies often prefer hiring internally.
>North Korea's leadership doesn't seem to have any interest at all in the wellbeing of the populace.

It's a manufactured impression.

Western oligarchy controlled media doesnt like to talk about how they pay $0 for college and medical care. They focus exclusively on the prison camps, etc.

North Koreans are fed an impression of America that centers around stuff like Guantanamo bay, Abu ghraib, medical bankruptcies and the unfair cost of college. I'm sure many are equally perplexed about why Americans haven't yet "risen up".
