> PDF also provides consumers with a high-quality document they know they can read every easily, anywhere - any platform, any time, etc. - with just a click

Actually that's exactly what I feel like PDFs don't give me. When I come across a PDF report, I immediately know it'll be a massive pain to read on a phone, on my e-reader, etc. and I'll have to wait til I get on a desktop. And even once I do, I have little control over the reading experience (I often use reader mode for websites to strip out daft decisions by designers, or even just to normalise font sizes to something I'm comfortable with).

I see your nurture over nature take. I'm not convinced that environment beats it biology in this case, but I'm not expert.

As I said in reply to another comment here: generalizations are useful until they aren't. In single person cases a broad generalization is not particularly useful, as it is meant to describe common or emergent behaviors in groups of people. Are you and your SO farther down the curve of the distribution? Sure. Is one trait predominantly associated with one sex and the other with the other? Yes. Does that matter so much? Only as much as you want it to.

My observation isn't "bad" or "good", it is only an acknowledgement of general contrast between the sexes.
Yes! A few of the many, many, many CSS definitions to get us where `<table>` got us in 1996. See ya later colspan, rowspan.

This is a great point. I ranted about oauth2 relying parties in my other comment but oauth2 providers certainly don’t make it easy for people writing RPs to figure out what scopes are necessary.

Even worse is that oauth2 doesn’t provide for any capability-based scope limitation, or token attenuation, or anything like that. If I want to be able to give write access to only a single google calendar instead of all of the calendars my account has write access to, the best thing I can do is give write access to a one-off Google account and then oauth2 to that account.

There’s some XACML thing I’ve never heard of before today, no idea if anybody uses it in the wild.
No, it's a hatred of CSS. CSS is a pain, tailwind is a balm. I use tailwind on everything, extend or modify tailwind as needed, and write very little CSS. I have also stopped having dreams of strangling css-grids to death since I started doing this, so something's working.
I don't know if I fully grok the web components described by the author. I did find that using templ with Go makes it reasonable to have components you can inject some logic and state into for sending back HTML to htmx where it makes sense. The thing that makes sense is we focus on generating HTML once and there is no need to redefine models in the frontend. This is important because it means we don't take HTML, convert it to a data structure, validate the data, then send the data to a server, that has to validate things again, and return some resulting data, that once again gets rendered as HTML. Each data transition is expensive from a complexity perspective and requires caching state where caching is hard.

I'll admit that I'm not a frontend guru so my bias for writing apps like I did 20 years ago likely shows here.

Still, when I consider all the different abstractions and details around using something like Next.js + Typescript, and where the division between server and client becomes mixed, reducing complexity feels advantageous.

Tailwind is another good example where the explicit nature of attaching styles makes sense if you are writing React components. You've encapsulated all that noise behind a simple JSX tag. Using Tailwind with something that returns HTML then requires a similar way to encapsulate the noise. Again, I found using Templ with Go made that feasible, but I still have avoided Tailwind just b/c I don't want to introduce the noise too soon if possible.

It all makes me wonder if we lost the idea of a fullstack engineer, not because the problems became so challenging that we needed the extra complexity, but rather because we organized our applications into frontend and backend organizationally when we should have been more diligent in maintaining teams that could do everything.

The real tl;dr is that Templ for Go is pretty handy for writing components :)

Halfway down, I can't anymore.
I started managing a team with the “no meetings, let people do good work” philosophy and I can just say that I’m glad I was given the space as a new manager to find my feet, because I didn’t find that it worked well when taken to an extreme.

Remote work offers very little structure. As someone who thrives on autonomy and chafes at process this always felt great to me, but a lot of people thrive with a bit of structure. These days I’m of the opinion that remote work needs to both adapt to not demand too much structure, but also needs to mindfully provide enough that people can work effectively. Most people on my team have around 5 to 6 hours of standing meetings each week, plus ad-hoc synchronous discussions when they seem valuable. That seems to be the right balance for my team but every team will be different in the exact numbers.

The important thing I think is to let the structure emerge naturally and serve a specific purpose rather than doing meetings to replicate in-office processes or to serve some theoretical process.
If lists and structures are basis then sum should be too.
J, the predecessor to K, also by the same author, is written in nearly the same style, but shorter:

https://www.jsoftware.com/ioj/iojATW.htm

(Discussed previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25902615 )

There's something very satisfying about how this style seems to "climb the abstraction ladder" very quickly, but all of those abstractions he creates are not wasted and immediately put to use. I think much of the amazement and beauty is that there isn't much code at all, and yet it does so much. It's the complete opposite of the bloated, lazy, lowest-common-denominator trend that's been spreading in many other languages's communities.
Working on a startup pursuing your topic / field of interest might do the trick.

There are also lots of technical fields that vastly underpay due to the number of people that want to do it (eg. video games industry) and/or the lack of demand or immediate utility (eg. academia and research).

There's also art, film, stage, music, and all of the liberal arts.

Imagine what you want to do, then find a job that hits close to that. It might not pay well, but it might satisfy you.
This is pretty much the exact stack I've been wanting to try for a while. Being able to spin up a working starter project will be immensely useful, even if I end up doing my own from scratch eventually.

I assume you're asking these questions about HTML, right? As compared to the assumed good answers PDF has to these questions?

> How do you do annotation?

Same as PDF - if you want that, get an app that has that feature.

> And how do you know you can read the document decades into the future?

Same as PDF, except that HTML is a simpler format.

> Also, for longer texts, isn't it harder to read without the high-quality readability enhancements, such as typefaces, layouts, etc.?

HTML has all these things? (With CSS, I mean.)
My two cents on that last bit: I have a team of people working in the US, more than half of them from India, and another team actually in India. Culturally there's a fair amount of overlap, but the real ball buster is the timezone difference. There's no way to both get regular face time and have everyone work normal hours.
This is a pretty dim view, especially here on HN.

People are paid to work because their labor is valuable. That is in no way mutually exclusive with how interesting and meaningful the job is. Jobs at the intersection of employer value and employee interest are obviously the most desirable. I'd imagine every laborer attempts to maximize these two qualities of their day job.

Possibly, but at the time Windows Phones were snappier and often had better hardware than Android.

For me, developers played a huge part.

There were a lot of popular and new apps missing in the windows store.

Microsoft had to even co-fund app developers to build apps for windows phone, without much luck or being too late.

E.g. Instagram for Windows released 18 months after Android. Did YouTube ever release on windows phone?

This played a big part in people choosing iOS/Android instead.

I haven’t looked into this for years, but that’s my recollection of early/mid 2010s.

The Verge seems to confirm my historic bias:

> If you’re wondering why none of Microsoft’s many strenuous Windows Phone efforts ultimately paid off, the key answer lies in the platform’s chronic failure to attract third-party app developers. Every time Nokia launched a new Windows Phone, it had to dodge and duck the question of when there’ll be an Instagram app for the OS. Even as Microsoft was beating Google at providing a smoother and slicker first-party app experience, Google was winning handily in having the more essential apps and the more enthusiastic third-party ecosystem.

I sterilize my N95/KF94 masks with UV light for reuse.

If anyone wants to follow suit, beware fake UV bulbs. Test your product / bulb with a banana.

Put masking tape on the banana, then expose the banana to the light for a few hours. If the band develops a suntan except for under the tape, you've got a good bulb. It should kill any bacteria and certainly any viruses on your mask.

But still throw out your masks when the fit gets bad; a mask is useless if the COVID is slipping in through the sides.

Can't the canal authorities reduce the water used somehow? If you paired up ships so that one going up the lock system is matched with one going down you could just pump the water back and forth from one lock to the other and back. Then way less water would be lost from the system.

On the contrary, I'm saying we are in fact dismissing it by either ignoring or forgetting the fact that North Korea is, and has been, at war. If we are asking if North Korea is "preparing for war", we are in fact dismissing the dangerous state of affairs already concerning that country.

North Korea is at war and is improving their arsenal and capability for that reality, but do we understand that as well? Perhaps we don't.

Sure, but then we're discussing remote work as an employee benefit, which is a different discussion driven by a different part of the company etc. Not as a thing which improves the company's bottom line which is where C suite and shareholders spend the vast majority of their attention.

If it doesn't improve job productivity then at the level where decisions get made I can think of two really significant points regarding remote work.

A. There might be an opportunity to reduce cost because we don't need to pay for as much office space and whatever other expenses are incurred by the employee's physical presence

B. There might be an opportunity to reduce cost because we could recruit contractors in other countries instead of full-time US employees. (Which in turn is going to undermine labor's bargaining power in the US...)

I personally love remote work and believe in the benefits but I think a lot of people with an employee mindset just don't want to acknowledge the existence of B, they may even downvote me for bringing it up, but I guarantee that is one of the main conversations that will come up in the board room as remote work is normalized. Not "oh hey great, now labor can do laundry on company time!"
