You can always get a first impression by checking a website with Chrome Lightroom. For Mantine, Lightroom returns a few ARIA and a lot of contrast ratio issues. NextUI is built upon React Aria, which indeed puts accessibility first. Nonetheless, NextUI includes some contrast ratio issues as well. I think that claims like "fully accessible" or "exceptional accessibility" give a false sense of security to people using those UI frameworks. Accessibility is not something a UI framework can guarantee for your app or website.

EDIT: I've added Mantine to my post. I've left out NextUI, being more of a "skin" over React Aria.
So against the vendor's advice you sort of shot yourself. Appreciate taking one for the team but I don't see any risk to myself here as I have no intention of using Beeper.
As the name implies, MBA teaches business administration, or managing business. It gives you 30,000 ft overview of the entire business value chain, and then you zoom in on each individual component separately, knowing where it fits in the whole picture.

To have a business means to have revenue, so you you have to sell stuff (sales). You also have to figure out how to sell stuff better to more people for more money (marketing). To sell something you have to have something, product or service, so you have to build it/design it (product/service development/R&D), and then make it in large quantities (manufacturing/operations). To manufacture it you have to get things from which you will make your products (inbound logistics). When you're ready to sell you need to physically deliver things you're selling (outbound logistics).

These are your primary business functions. There's also support functions. Many businesses employ people, and they need to be managed, you need to find and hire good people, you have to make sure they don't slack off, do what they're supposed to do and don't do what they're NOT supposed to do, and don't cause any issues for the business etc (that's human resources). You have to make sure the business follows all appropriate regulations (that's Legal). You have to know how much money you're spending and making, not an easy task as large businesses have hundreds/thousands projects and activities going on at the same time (that's your accounting). You can also find out how you can optimize your financial resources and get the most bang for you buck (finance). There's obviously a small group of people running the whole thing and deciding on the strategy and then coming up with plans to implement it (Executive function).

So in MBA you review all of these functions in detail so that you know the best practices, what to do and what not to do, bunch of examples (case studies) from various companies etc etc.

That's all there is to it. The idea is that once you understand the whole picture you can then move up the chain to management or even to Executive function so that you can run the whole thing.

There's also books like "Portable MBA" where all this knowledge is put in one book in a condensed manner, and you will probably learn just as much from it as you would from a class, in the same way you can get through all the coursework on CS major and (kinda) learn most of it.

EDIT: Ironically I forgot to mention another somewhat important support function called Information Technology. :)

Ask HN: Who are the most influential VC and bootstrap ppl in the industry?
Who would you say are amongst the most influential advocates for raising VC, and also, who are the one advising against VC and going the bootstrap route?

I'm creating something free and educational on this topic that will share with Show HN in the next days, but would love to get community knowledge on the topic.

Example:
For famous bootstrapers that say you shouldn't raise are: Jason Fried, Rob Walling...

For VCs I have: Reid Hoffman, Marc Andreesen...

I don’t give a single flying fuck about Bill Ackerman or his wife, they can burn in the fires of public opinion as well for all I care. The article is complaining that people are acting like victims when the political left made victimization a core tenet of identity politics. So maybe Bill Ackerman wouldn’t be acting in such an embarrassing manner if they hadn’t done that.
I'd never heard of Sam Kriss before, but the writing drew me in and I spent a few minutes looking through his stuff. I have no clue about the veracity of the things he writes, but boy oh boy does he do the writing part well.

Never use the word "Cancel" in a warning dialog.

It is easy to get confused. Cancel what? Cancel Bluetooth? Cancel the turning off of Bluetooth?

Better are two buttons like this: [Keep Bluetooth running] [Disable Bluetooth].

Mac OS does this often right. I say this somewhat grudgingly.

Before later revisions of Bluetooth with ultra-low-power modes, a mouse using Bluetooth was considerably more power-hungry than dedicated radio interfaces -- short battery life.
> Of course, Apple does have 2TB+ iCloud+ plans, but I would bet that the average iCloud+ subscriber is using nowhere near their limit.

But that's my point. To sell the 2TB plans to people who are merely on the free 5 GB or paid 50 GB plan.

And yes -- I don't even keep many files on my Mac, it's mostly in the cloud already. But if it gets lost/stolen, I want to restore all my apps and preferences the same way I do with my phone. Which is why I use Time Machine with a NAS, but it's silly to need a NAS at all. I just want to use the cloud.
Reiser argued that if you optimised a filesystem for very tiny files, then many cases where apps invent their own ad-hoc file-systems-in-a-file could be eliminated and apps would become easier to read/write and more composable.

For example, instead of an OpenOffice document being a zip of XMLs, you'd just use a directory of XMLs, and then replace the XMLs with directories of tiny files for the attributes and node contents. Instead of a daemon having a config file, you'd just have a directory of tiny files. He claimed that apps weren't written that way already because filesystems were wasteful when files got too tiny.

Git is an example of a program that uses this technique, to some extent at least (modulo packfiles).

In reality, although that may have contributed, there are other reasons why people bundle data up into individual files. To disaggregate things (which is a good place to start if you want a filesystem-db merge) you also have to solve all those other reasons, which ReiserFS never did and as a project that "only" wanted to reinvent the FS, could not have solved.

Apple hit some of those issues when they tried making iLife documents be NeXT bundles:

1. Filesystem explorers treat files and directories differently for UI purposes. Apple solved it nicely by teaching the Finder to show bundle directories as if they were files unless you right click and select "Show contents". Or rather partly solved ... until you send data to friends using Windows, or Google Drive, or anything other than the Finder.

2. Network protocols like HTTP and MIME only understand files, not directories. In particular there is no standardised serialisation format for a directory beyond zip. Not solved. iLife migrated from bundles to a custom file format partly due to this problem, I think.

3. Operating systems provide much richer APIs for files than directories. You can monitor a file for changes, but if you want to monitor a directory tree, you have to iterate and do it yourself. You can lock a file against changes, but not a directory tree. You can check if a file has been modified by looking at its mtime, but there's no recursive mtime for directory trees. You can update files transactionally by writing to a temporary file and renaming, but you can't atomically replace a directory tree. Etc.

So the ReiserFS concept wasn't fully fleshed out, even if it had been accepted into the kernel. Our foundational APIs and protocols just aren't geared up for it. I've sometimes thought it'd be a neat retirement project one day to build an OS where files and directories are more closely merged as a concept, so files can have sub-files that you can browse into using 'cd' and so on, and those API/protocol gaps are closed. It wouldn't give you a full relational database but it'd be much more feasible to port apps to such an OS than to rewrite everything to use classical database APIs and semantics
The big issue with adding features was mostly security (as I understand it). Then they realized that they were never going to achieve good performance with WebGL and Apple proposed porting Metal to the web as webGPU.

There doesn't seem to be anything inherently insecure about mesh shaders and they now have working examples in both Vulkan and Metal, so I'd expect them to show up sooner rather than later.
I've run the numbers on "average likelihood of a given student being present during any kind of shooting on school grounds—the overwhelming majority of which aren't the kind of shooting one thinks of when one sees the term 'school shooting', anyway—at any point during 13 years of k-12 school, in the US" and it helped me conclude it's not a thing worth worrying about, even a little. (I do have kids in school)
> Tesla for some reason requires the window to automatically retract an inch when opening the door

Tesla uses frameless doors, which are normally associated with high-end cars. To get a good seal without a window frame they use the standard solution of having the window raise slightly after closing, and having the door handle trigger it to lower again. You can break the seal with a credit card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjRo-vYGhdw

(I think this is silly, and prefer my nice low-end full-frame reliable doors.)
If like to hear the argument then since it’s trivial to know how much time has passed if you sit down and wait. You know the difference between 1 min and 10 min and 30 min and 60 min.

And on high doses of certain psychedelics you can experience what it’s like to lose that.

You bring up people knowing how much time passed while they slept but I don’t think that’s true. Without cues like lighting and restfulness I don’t think we do know.
It's not incredible it is just a different view point. In your second paragraph you take a utilitarian point of view in which case the size of an organization is irrelevant so long as it produces a net gain for society.

An alternative view values human freedom and autonomy. From this perspective the size of an organization is relevant - a large enough organization can impose its will on individuals who don't wish to associate with it.

Neither viewpoint is wrong, but acting as if the one you prefer is somehow more correct or objective is.
I can kinda see that but it's just not been true in my experience. My CEO and CTO don't care if you're in the office - they're not in so why would they care? Hell, the CEO only lives a 20 minute walk from the office, and he still doesn't come in!
I'm excited for the Rust project.
But to add a superficial observation: It seems that the Rust project is not very diverse.
Could that contribute to culture problems?

It seems to have a disproportionately high, relatively to society, percentage of white, male, strongly LGBT-oriented personalities, who usually have a female Japanese cartoon character, or maybe a furry, as their profile picture on GitHub.

Which is fine, whatever, but I worry that it suffers from groupthink and excludes different minds. Maybe it's hostile to plain people that just want to focus on programming? I suspect that people like Torvalds wouldn't survive long, and that's a shame.

And if you want to be really critical: Maybe the leadership is happy that specific people are leaving? Maybe burnout is a tool? Maybe it's a way of social control and censorship?

I personally hope that Rust finds more mainstream support and funding, because I'd love to work full-time in Rust for many years to come.
This is a great point about differentiating between filler and seminal papers. And I actually think the word filler is spot on for two reasons.

Firstly, this reminds me of a blog post about what it means to get a PhD [1]. The problem with that view is that the circle of human knowledge is drawn as a solid, while in reality it is very holey. So seminal papers push the border outward, while filler papers fill in the holes. Both valid and necessary, but general public only cares about advancing the borders.

Also, filler papers are needed not only for the sake of completeness, but scientists need papers to demonstrate productivity. E.g. graduate students needs papers on their CV so they can prove to their next employer that they are productive and capable of serious research. So these filler papers also "fill" the role of "filling" up people's resume. The public seem to think that professors publish papers only to announce to the world about their great discoveries, but 90% of the time its filler papers just reporting on business as usual type progress.

Syncthing doesn’t have sharing support AFAICS, but yes, Willow could be used as the underlying protocol for something like Syncthing.
Fair enough. Let's go with the analogy of a compiler, allowing you to write in python instead of assembly. Certainly this is doing a great deal of "thinking" for you. But hasn't it unlocked the more fun aspect of what you were doing? Not that this is true for everyone; some folks do still like to write assembly by hand, for fun or profit. But a compiler was still a remarkable advancement and worth celebrating.
You're not supposed to run it on the same device. You're supposed to run it from a server and SSH into it to save power on the client device.
I've come to hate hops over the last 20 years or so as overpoweringly flowery and/or bitter IPAs and pale ales have become more popular. I like just enough hops to balance the sweetness of the malt. For me hops are like salt in food- a little used carefully is great, but too much quickly becomes disgusting.
Show HN: SaaS template/boilerplate w SvelteKit, Tailwind, Supabase and Postgres
Hi HN,

Releasing a new SaaS template/boilerplate built with SvelteKit, Tailwind, Supabase & Postgres. It’s called SaasStarter.work

- MIT Open Source: https://github.com/CriticalMoments/CMSaasStarter

- Feature Rich: user auth, user dashboard, marketing site, billing/subscriptions, pricing page, blog engine, and more

- Very fast: perfect PageSpeed scores, achieved with pre-rendering and pre-compiling.

- Extensible: all the tools you need to make additional marketing pages, UI components, admin portals, database backends, API endpoints, etc.

- Hosting: Free to host, cheap to scale, easy to manage, automatic deployments

I know there are a lot of options out there for starter templates, but I really love working with this tech stack (SvelteKit/Supabase/Postgres). You spend a lot more time working on your SaaS than you do on initial setup. I believe working with the right tools will make you more efficient and happy in the long run, so it was worth it for me to set this up. Suggestions/feedback/contributions are welcome.
I've flown on Spirit twice, as a side effect of living in Miami.

The last time I did they canceled my flight overnight at 2:30am and forced me to rebook my ~$300 flight at twice the cost -- and it was leaving the same airport at the same time to the same destination.

And it was a miracle that I woke up to the email alert and was able to rebook my flight before it sold out anyway.
I used something different, but it didn't work as expected because I have multiple directories that start with the same letter. Consequently, the shortcuts changed their paths and I never ended up where I wanted.

I built my own tool called Zee, that takes a simplified approach by only utilizing explicit user-defined shortcuts: https://github.com/dnsv/zee
they know there is no difference.

but doing this means they can force you out, and replace you with someone in Alabama, or India, who will do the job for less. Often much less.

An awful lot of tech bro Big4 consulting CEO types are also betting a lot on AI -- cut bodies and let Copilot or GPT do the work. If that doesn't work they can always scrounge up another body or two from Tata or Cap Gemini.
You can make that argument if you wish. But then it goes both ways, and you must stand against Ackerman's actions in all this. You have to be consistent and have integrity. Ackerman I believe targeted college students. His wife is fair game.

Agreed, didn't notice that! I was also thinking the limited iPhone may be a better route for teens, parents, schools.

C++ is losing momentum as larger organizations lose interest in investing in it. Features standardized in c++20 are still not available in the most popular compilers, let alone features in c++23. The future is looking bleak.

Rust is a great alternative for greenfield projects but we really need a new kotlin-esque innovation to keep c++ alive imo.
Don't hold your breath regarding Direct Storage like capabilities, or work graphs.

It has been the same following DirectX lead, from GPU vendors collaboration with Microsoft, and extensions spaghetti as OpenGL.

Additionally it seems GLSL is stagnant, and from 2023's panel the suggestion was to adopt HLSL instead as there is no budget for language research.
This doesn't seem all that controversial at face value. Rankings are supposedly not impacted by your willingness to buy a badge. It's literally just a logo, a license to promote your ranking.

I think U.S. News runs a business that will always attract controversy and criticism in its attempt to rank something that is arguably impossible to rank. There's a demand for guidance in a world where choosing something like a university based on completely unknown future results that can't be pinned down to a universal equation is a pretty anxiety-inducing choice.

I don't know if I am going to meet my co-founder of the next Google at Harvard or at University of Massachusetts Amherst. I don't know if I'm going to meet a better spouse at Yale or Cornell. I don't know if I'm going to like my professors more at Stanford or Berkley.

The rankings are just satisfying that desire, and in doing so they're bound to be inaccurate for a large percentage of the people who are using them as a guide.
Not enough users browse the https://news.ycombinator.com/newest queue, there's 2 submissions per minute. I've seen articles ignored and then suddenly the third or fifth time it hits number 1 on the frontpage. It's much more random than you might expect.
Based on your comment I think there might be some misunderstandings here.

That committee you are talking about isn’t actually independent of Apple. They are a part of it.

Historically Apple have repeatedly used those exact committee bodies as a way to shut down a whole range of things that would bring the web platform closer to iOS in terms of capabilities.

The point about the bookmarking is also a bit hard to follow. I don’t know if this is getting a bit abstract or something so I’ll just restate my main argument.

Apple have repeatedly tried to make sure the web wasn’t able to compete with iOS and actively worked to get as much lock in on their platforms as possible. They have a terrible track record in terms of interoperability and as I stated numerous times in this thread they have an obvious reason for doing so.

The only point I saw them concede any ground towards a more consumer friendly and away from an overtly anti-competitive approach was specifically when serious talk of antitrust litigation emerged from the EU.

At that point they had a miraculously coincidental change of heart and began a hiring spree for Safari so they could try and close some of the more nefarious gaps with interoperability so they could point to it as evidence that they shouldn’t be fined billons of dollars and have new restrictions placed on them.

I am claiming that that looks like the text book definition of a conspiracy and you need to understand the arguments about installability in that wider context and the point you’re making about bookmarks is in no way relevant to what I’m talking about.

It's not worth it, people from developing countries basically dominate on those platforms, so you have to go cheaper than them, especially if you have no reviews

On Fiverr it's hard to get discovered

On Upwork you'd have to apply to tons of jobs, each application uses up one of the "credits", when you run out you have to buy more for IRL money. You might use up all of the free ones and still not get a single job.
