> I have migrated from Jekyll to Hugo for my own website, but the whole Hugo project is just weird. It took me like a year to migrate my simple website because of all the different paper cuts that drained my will to work on it.

My blog's migration anno took only a few days, including a template creation from scratch. My template is still unfinished unfortunately, as Hugo was missing features I needed for my vision back then, and since then I gave up a bit on blogging because of the papercuts mentioned, and the immense timesink that is creating reasonable quality content for publishing. (I do paper-based journalling mostly nowadays since then).

Recently just reviewed the Hugo changelogs since the version I use, and now it knows everything I need to finish up my blog (especially features around images and internationalization were missing, since my blog is not in English, and Hugo used to miss a lot for tiny stuff supporting non-english sites properly, eg. date string localization, sorting for localized tags, like the 'abc' in my language starts as 'aábc', but á got sorted after Z (yes, capiztal Z) if I recall correctly, making localized tags hard to use.). I had some hacks for some in place, but it was tiresome.
Now Hugo has all the bells and whistles I need, even more than enough... It is hard to wrap my head around the plethora of features and new concepts. I wonder if the docs cover my usecases, or I'll need to do some Sherlock Holmes stuff once again, to get going...

So the takeaway of this rambling? Hugo is great, it is fast, and by now it probably knows everything one can reasonably need. But man, it is hard to learn, it has become a huge topic, as sitebuilding naturally has its depths, just like any other topic, once real life problems are to be solved with it. The docs? Not great, not terrible. Overall I still recommend it over anything else, as the docs are still okayish for basic stuff. I like it, it is a great project. I love that almost every changelog includes that it got faster a little bit. Atypical for current software project. And it is fast indeed. (experience from a 5 year old release) I have worked with some trendy javascript based web authoring tools at workplace, and man they were all sluggish and had way worse developer experience than Hugo, also their docs weren't better at all. (has nothing to with Js apart from being popular nowadays)
People have many kids when their life is unstable. That's why improving quality of life across the world is how it balances out?
That can put archive.is out of business.
> why is innovation less impressive today?

Maybe it helps to split innovation into its main two constituents: I. scientific innovation (biological, chemical, mechanical, physical etc. domains) that pertains to the external, physical world and II. innovation that concerns the constitution of human society (laws, governance schemes, economic organization, information recording and transmission infrastructure etc.).

The two types of innovation are deeply interconnected. Exploring, understanding and (where applicable) controlling the external world requires certain types of enabling social innovations (script, educational systems, well-fed and trained scientists etc). In a virtuous cycle, understanding the physical world enables more social innovation (medicine produces healthier scientists, physics produces electromagnetic / digital devices and thus more informed ones etc.)

So where does it all go wrong?

Innovation to push our external interface faces a stark and unrelenting reality. The Universe is what it is. It has always been so. The amount of required effort and ingenuity for the next breakthrough in the various fronts varies and is not knowable in advance. Room-temperature superconductors may be around the corner or not possible in this universe. The cure for cancer may be within sight or it might dissolve in a fractal chase of myriads of different pathologies.

On the social innovation front it is a very different predicament. Nothing "is-what-it-is" except some very primitive innate behaviors. Everything is culturally conditioned, but those constructs carry a lot of inertia. Vast numbers of people remain unhealthy, uneducated, uninformed etc. even though there is absolutely no objective reason for this to be the case. Priorities on where to innovate are not set by objective needs but must pass arbitrary yet very "real" political, social and economic filters.

So if innovation is less impressive today it is to some (unknowable) degree because of external factors but certainly in good part due to social stagnation - if not regression, which hinders the diffusion and acceleration of innovation that characterised past centuries.

> We’re getting precisely the kind of innovation that we desire – and that we deserve.

Indeed. While not precisely, arguably to a large extent.
Is there any reason for why the FPGA couldn't just be replaced with for example an on-device generic ARM SoC like an RPi pico/nano doing the same in software?

Or is that how far your purism in anti-emulation goes? (;
Do you have numbers to back your claim?

I think HN should be implementing such practices to its users, just to make them drink their own poison. Like, 2FA to reply , change your password every six months , new password must contain 3 capital letters , 4 symbols and your mommas pet birthday
Even F-droid has half a dozen apps to learn the writting system.

The problem with learning this, is that when you know katakana and hiragana perfectly, you are still in the same learning spot that you are today to learn finnish or euskera, and much worse than german or danish (they have things in common with english).
Are any government entites looking at this at all? You can't just run a cartel and once a competitor comes along suddenly the service changes to squeeze the newcomer out?
Come on, I lived on the Isle of Dogs (2 manilla st) for 2 years. That's right next to Canary Wharf (a literal 2 minute walk). While it's true the actual Canary Wharf area has its own private guards its not a typical gated community. Yes, there are clever underground car barriers(I don't think I ever saw them closed though), but there are no surrounding fences etc. I don't think it's a good example of a "private owned gated community" at all. Anyone can just walk in.

Also, Isle of Dogs is a great example of how private/public partnerships can lift an area out of poverty. The Tower Hamlets area which Isle of Dogs is a part of has been a very poor area with lots of drug/theft/poor housing problems etc. Then lots of high rises were built (including the one I lived in) and some petty crime remained, but the quality of life was pretty good there. The best things being really good access to public transport, access to the river, shops/restaurants an NHS health centre that isn't overwhelmed with patients etc.
Some linguists argued that English is essentially a creole language which would explain this.

> isolated

I would say the opposite. Frisian etc. were much more isolated and therefore developed more conservatively.

> a dialect continuum

You do a bit, e.g. Scots which developed somewhat independently/in parallel to English.
> I guess this could be true that YT "shaft[s] creators in every way possible". If this were true, I'm somehow guessing that not basically everyone would show their videos there, don't you think?

The fact that content creators are still using Youtube doesn't mean Youtube is not shafting content creators. Youtube has killed most of their competitors so it's not like content creators have other options right now, but I suspect new competitors will show up if Google continue to enshitify youtube.
Yes, that's why the proponents of this "solution" intend it to go on forever. One can see where this will lead to.
Guess I'm an exception then. Gnome 3 had a slow and dumpy start but it's improving more and more now to me
It seems to me that all of google's most successful services (search, youtube, gmail and gsuite, maps/earth, android) are next to impossible to monetize profitably and have significant utility to the general public. It feels like these are services that governments should be building and funding themselves.

Youtube specifically has a plethora of useful information made by normal people. You can find hundreds of thousands of videos, in most languages, about doing most basic and complex repairs for almost any model of car made in the last few decades, for example. It is essentially a giant public library.
Yes - Todoist! The screen was a waveshare which sadly degraded sooner than I had hoped.
The real issue is that the far right is taking up the traditional points of the left. And I don't think it really needs to be explained by the CSU/CDU steadily loses voters in the 20th century.

1) limit immigration (so as to provide better wages, better working conditions for the workers already here). For the left it's not about race, it's about managing the availability of labor for the local market to improve living conditions. Even limiting emigration is on the table.

2) "common sense" policies influenced by the opinion of the "unwashed masses" or whatever you want to call them

3) protection of jobs and unions over things like "the economy". Bad (livable and even "livable") jobs for all takes priority over trade (so borders largely closed). This also means limiting the scope of EU membership.

4) very high policy priority for things that directly influence the life of common people. Things like medical care (and training new medical personnel), schooling and housing having absolute priority over "the economy", or over Ukraine or Climate change

The left does not work like this anymore, and hasn't for a decade or two at least, because this is not what they attract young people with. And that was fine, when the economy was doing well and the left could pretend they were providing jobs for all while giving priority to climate change, when they weren't really accomplishing anything, and it was really China getting lots of things to build itself up.

This is what they call the generational conflict. A LOT of traditional leftist voters are worried about their life, finances, pension, medical care, ..., and don't care about climate change, Ukraine, essentially any international problem. There was no conflict as long as both could be reasonably provided that was fine. But that only applies as long as the medical care, schooling, housing, ... situation doesn't seriously deteriorate. And it has. So they run to the only party that agrees with them, at least in rhetoric.

Maybe someone ought to create more extreme leftists parties, from a real leftist party to even an outright communist one, that would also get these voters in. A party that would build housing, right in the middle of cities, with ZERO care what it would do to housing values or bank balance sheets. That would make employees essentially unfireable. That would kill imports and exports (or heavily tax them) to support more personnel in schools. Etc.

Left/right is an oversimplification, and because people are unwilling to compromise at all (You aren't allowed to be leftist and anti-immigration. You can't be leftist and anti-EU. So if you get frustrated enough you find your natural allies for that: racists. Not because you're a racist, but out of shear frustration)
I'm also intensely Youtube positive, even if I don't like ads or google.

Youtube is one of the best things on the internet. The shame is that it's centralized with a single point of failure.

The upsides of youtube are enormous - people learn a lot there. It's not just nerds learning about stuff, but everyone. How do I fix this thing on my car, etc? People show and tell about all kinds of topics. This is making people more knowledgeable and capable on a citizen level(!)

The written word champions here will have to realize that for some, videos are a superior medium for transmitting know-how.
Jekyll provided me with a quick and dirty website publishing tool that works for what I want.

I don't want it to change. It's slow to run, but I edit my templates and run a single bash script to update my site when I need to.

I'm a data point for "I don't need a faster Jekyll, especially if compatibility breaks"
90s? Look at banks, ticket reservation systems, utility management systems, etc, where COBOL sticks from 1960s, and benefits of a rewrite remain dubious.
Walks have known to 'jog' the brain. Einstein did it all the time.
Whatsapp is a very simple service. Telegram has/had even fewer developers.

Simple message apps do not require huge number of developers to support many messages.
Left/right is too simplistic, I am fairly left on many issues but I think making it so that people don't need to migrate is better than allowing unlimited migration which is not a good long term solution...
One could also call it "moderation", if one wanted to use less loaded terms.

Is it censorship when dang calls you out and threatens a ban for starting a flamewar? Is it censorship when a spammer gets banned? What about gmail's spam filter? Is that automated censorship?
I remember my friend’s IE somehow getting corrupted/screwed up and I was still able to go to windows shell and ?tftp? to ftp://ftp.mozilla.org

>The amount of whining, specifically Chinese whining, is absurd.

China needs to cool it with the xenophobia.
I don't remember exactly, this is more than 25 years ago, but I think in the dream they were easier than they ever were when awake. In the dream I was some kind of calculus-ninja. I know this sounds ridiculus but personally I believe that I actually were in a state of mind were I mastered the topic I had studied.
> It had tabs

I discovered Opera in 2000 and it always drove me nuts how Firefox was praised for being the first browser with tabs.
My first question would be if the messages can be sent P2P or if they have to be passed through / stored on servers.

If they can be sent and stored on the users devices, the server would only be a discovery service processing the occasional "Hey, I have a new IP" and "Hey, I want to send a message to X, please give me their current IP" messages.

If the messages would have to be processed by servers, the system could be set up similar to email servers, where each server can handle - say - 10 million users and be completely independent of the other servers. So scaling would just mean adding a new "email" server for every new 10 million users.

If 50B messages amount to - say - 500 million users, that would mean operating 50 servers.
For me it's not the same notion. Imho a proof is by "abstract nonsense" when it is a relatively short sequence of seemingly uninteresting steps that end up proving something non-trivial in the end. And you're left wondering how this stupid symbolic manipulations which looked just like a sequence of reformulations of the initial thing could have possibly proved the statement. This appears a lot in category theory because the manipulated objects are very rich and usually there are a lot of different ways to describe the same thing. Hence you can sometimes just dive into such abstract tunnels and end up at a quite different location giving other insights.

Boilerplate in proofs is usually what we call "administrative arguments".
Hardware TPMs can also be patched.
I don’t know much about those medical conditions, but it doesn’t take that much imagination to understand that access to eye-gaze data would pretty much give developers mind-reading abilities against whoever is wearing the headset. As the platform matures it will probably be a whole discussion around how it works, who gets access to it and for what reason. I could imagine Apple putting their weight behind developing all sorts of wild disability features.
The bill sets up a system where content legal in one area can be banned because it's illegal in another. Even if it's not directly censorious (it is), nations like Hungary have already had their governments state they intend to abuse such bills for the purpose of cross-border censorship.
> They eliminated feature creep at all costs.

Not anymore. I'm wondering how many engineers they have now to develop and maintain all the non-chat features.
Actually yes, in Germany that is pretty much the talking point. Recently a prominent AfD politician spoke out against inclusion of disabled children in normal school classes. The media reaction was pretty much "just like in 1939!!!".

It is probably THE reason why there has never been a successful far-right political party in Germany (until now) after '45, while there have been in Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, etc.
Privacy might be what you're after. Open source and cross platform.
It was just a system designed from the start with efficiency in mind, rather than business flexibility.

Almost any system can do the same if you start from the basics of "how many bytes of data do I need to move?", and "how many bytes of data can this ethernet cable/CPU transfer each second?"

The end result is a system which is typically lower level and less flexible, but has much better money and hardware efficiency.

You'll end up delving into the Linux kernel and sockets API's, rather than using NodeJS and MongoDB. It'll take a totally different type of engineer to do so too, so make sure you hire appropriately!
Based on the line "Here’s my crack at what the hierarchy of innovation looks like", I'd presume the author did.

Based on "there’s a hierarchy of innovation that runs in parallel with Abraham Maslow’s famous hierarchy of needs", it's, well, strongly influenced by Maslow's hierarchy (which seemed immediately evident to me simply based on the pyramidal shape and nature of the levels).
I'm not talking about me personally, I'm just surprised other are surprised that people are trying to cope with the their livelihoods or worse may be completely obliterated.

Maybe emotional intelligence isn't common within the ubergeek class?
This is the elephant in the room. I have two overlapping observations.

- The big one is Islam. Islam seems to be the only religion in modern times that is actually religious. The only religion that can muster up people to actually get really angry about defending it. It's also the only religion the locals are actually scared of in any meaningful way.

- Color. If you have a bunch of local-looking kids meeting up at the mall, nobody thinks anything of it. Get a bunch of brown kids, and people get scared. Walk around as a typical Polish person, nobody will think anything of it. Walk around while brown and people are alerted to the presence of someone who needs to explain themselves. This isn't always mean-spirited and aggressive, but if you're not white you will constantly be asked by curious people how on earth you ended up walking around Copenhagen. "Where are you really from?".

Put these together and many people constantly see that there's a pernicious foreign influence on their society. They feel it's visible, even though probably a lot of the brown folks aren't even religious.
Perhaps they favour small government and low regulations and taxes? The problem with left/right is that there are several axes of policy you can be on. Old school left can be socially conservative which is why a lot of left leaning people seemed to veer right. Free market + socially liberal folk that were previously right are now seen to be more central as the political gravity moves around.
It's like having a truck that can haul lumber, and anything smaller, but is restricted to specifally only hauling groceries.
Maybe, but if so it sounds like city desirability can’t merely be improved Sony eliminating zoning then.
They are still so much better than almost anyone else in the space at preventing feature creep. It is still a remarkably small and focused app.
Hungary is a huge problem in general. It's time we stripped them of their membership.
The idea is for the eye data to act as the private key - right?
I can’t stop hitting the にゃ.
Yes, this process almost always is accompanied by fierce conflict.
> the existing landowners are 1) demanding money well above the inherent value of the land, and

The inherent value of the land is what market is willing to pay for it in the moment. If you accept that land is to be traded freely, then the seller can set the price as they choose or refuse to sell. What you suggest is that the government sets the price and force sale for the grater good. Even if we collectively decided that this is how it should be, this instance is a really bad example, because they haven’t shared what they want to do there. Why do you automatically think that their plan will be for the public benefit? Eminent domain had a narrow scope, at least originally, for public use. In 2005 things changed [1]. Actually Kelo vs New London is a very good example. The paned out redevelopment never happened, Pfizer closed down the facility in New London. City never recovered its loses.

not a good article - all of the points are extremely cliched and/or just obvious normal practice.
Yes, but the problem is that the organisations will only listen to McKinsey and they have a motivation to not solve the problem but to merely adapt it and bill the client again.

Agile is one of the few significant shifts in business where the board members are unaware of the creators and don't hire them in to consult authentically. I think only Kent Beck was hired by Facebook at a somewhat senior level, and Ken Schwaber spoke at Google a couple of times for mega money. It really should be a thing where every manifesto signatory is a consultant to big business at board level.
Yeah, the F* to B* already is a bit weird -- if anything; B* is the voiced version of P*, and they're both just hanging off of F* / H*.
simplicity over complexity at all cost!
If you’re excessively lucid dreaming you get terrible sleep, anyone who has trained themselves to lucid dream will tell you that. There may well be a simple explanation but I’m on my phone so it’s annoying to look things up.
New York would be good too if the government would just tax the rentier-parasites and build some social housing.
So if they were to stop, the crisis would be averted?
Quote the "generic finger wagging" from the article.
Google keeps tracking your behavior for advertising purposes. This defeats completely any reason to give them money.
90% of developers use Linux in Odoo. 100% use company given laptops, generally Asuses or Thinkpads. No preferred distro, just mandatory disk encryption, rest is on Github. We do our sysadmin and cloud handling internally.
> Turns out, when women have the option to turn off their reproductive capacity, people opt for "hmmm nows not a good time I think I'll do it later" often enough that the population goes extinct.

Or we have a society and an economic system designed to push women into the workforce and makes having children an expensive luxury good? That is a policy decision that can be changed. If it were economically beneficial for a woman to have two to four kids instead of grinding 40-50 hour weeks in the office, a lot of women would reevaluate their choices.

And it's much better for us to figure out a sustainable solution now than to wait a generation or two for the world to have a general fertility crisis. Right now it is localized to first-world countries, so we have some time to figure out a solution before things get really dire.
A stated goal is to be "as walkable as Paris or the West Village in New York."

Why should it be friendly to cars at all, when neither Paris nor NYC are known to be car friendly?
