I refer to something like a 3000 page manual of some microcontroller, or the datasheets of some integrated circuits or the specifications of some Arm architecture variant, or the standards for some programming language, e.g. C++ or System Verilog.

These are concrete examples of documents that I might have read during some flights or when waiting for some flight, on a smartphone.

When reading something like a fiction novel, reflowing the text based on the window width may be acceptable.

On the other hand, the navigation through a huge document half of which are tables, figures, diagrams, schematics and graphics is extremely painful when it is in HTML format so the layout changes based on the device and window used and there are no means to jump quickly e.g. to page 1436, then to page 2117. When zoom, pan and scroll are correctly implemented, which unfortunately happens seldom, they are much less distracting than the random changes in page layout caused by rendering as done by a browser.

I strongly dislike whenever a company provides only a Web documentation that is hard to navigate, instead of also providing a PDF manual.

Web documentation may be acceptable for very small documents, but not for most of the current technical documentation, where many thousands of pages for a manual are common.

Perhaps an EPUB format extended with everything necessary to completely describe a fixed page layout might become competitive with PDF, but I will have to see an example to believe it.

For now, whenever I see a book or any other document both in PDF and in EPUB formats, I always choose the PDF variant, because without exception it provides a better quality of the rendered pages.
> Squash is fine on balance, but it's not zero effort. If you branch a new feature off a branch that gets squashed it will usually cause annoying conflicts.

Conflicts happen when multiple people work on code, squash or no-squash.

The benefit of squash is when (not if) you want to solve a conflict, you only do it once. You get to compare the final snapshot of your code and the final snapshot of their code, and decide on a single, new best version.

This is in contrast to solving a conflict where you replay 10 of your commits against 10 of their commits, and try to work out what 'theirs' and 'mine' means as you change the same constructor from 2 args to 3 args 10 times.
Yes. Entitlements is a technical security measure of iOS independent of App Store. Your app must have a signed 'bit' from Apple to say it can use the specified APIs.

Reading many of the sibling comments just makes me laugh.

Android has allowed everything from the beginning, and overall it looks... fine? Of course there are all kinds of malicious actors who manage to publish malware on Play Store or trick people into sideloading, but if my mom, a basic Android user who knows very little about how computers and phones work, never got herself into trouble, that says something. You must be either dumb enough or really understand exactly what you are doing to go way out of the safe zone to download a shady app.

And anyone concerned about browser's safety -- if that were a real thing we'd have already been screwed on Windows and Mac. The reality is that most people use Chrome and it is generally safe enough for everyday use. Some people use Firefox, Brave and whatever but most of those are well maintained. If you install a browser that nobody knows, that's your problem.

This is just all fear mongering. So stupid.
Yes, Chrome is good.

But there are significant factors outside of merit which influence popularity.

Rust is a quite functional language, C# has been incorporating (aka stealing from F# :)) functional features for years starting with LINQ and ending with advanced forms like pattern matching on sequences (list patterns).

I believe all kinds of Python frameworks too like to incorporate FP into their APIs, and of course, there are list comprehensions.

Are we seriously holding in mind that publicity isn't worth anything to artists so you should never say that

no, there is a difference between an artist offering to do something for free (because of the publicity they expect) and directly asking an artist to do something for free because i promise they will get publicity out of it.

the later is an insult, because it is not for me to judge if the publicity is worth anything to them. it might not be.

if an artist is maxing out their capacity with paid work, then additional publicity may not help them. then doing something for free would only lower their income.

I got through to a senior bank officer on email after normal website features failed me.

He replied by pasting a piece of text from their website that i already saw in first instance and had already explained how that doesn't solve my issue.

It took a lot of effort on my part to stay polite in my reply and reiterate how that doesn't help at all and he needs to actually read my original email.

Any decent publishing or html editing tools fully support utf-8 by now. It's not the tools.

Publisher and editor laziness may be a reason to be cautious about epubs currently for niche or esoteric works, but that's not the same thing.

> I bought a book set in the late Middle Ages which managed to transcribe all “þ” as “p”. Until publishers care...

The book market these days makes it challenging to do high-quality editing up front for republishing niche books in a new format. Publishers try to cut corners, outsourcing epub conversions to people who don't care and don't know what they're doing, or they OCR it, have an in-house editor (who also doesn't have a personal affinity to the subject) give it a once-over (maybe), and release it.
Markets approximate an algorithm where you line up everyone who can do a job by willingness to do it, then pick the cheapest if someone is willing to pay that much.

In the case of open source, that algorithm usually identifies volunteers. Sometimes it identifies businesses. Sometimes people come up with clever ways of funding projects (Red Hat the enterprise was genius from this perspective, they organised a solution to tragedy of the commons in core infrastructure and made a lot of money doing that).

I suspect there does need to be a regular social renewal to resolve the tragedy of the commons problem. I expect that the network of OSS foundations and companies will regularly becomes corrupt and ineffective and need to be purged then replaced. That implies there is a fine line of healthy complaining - people need to communicate where the problems are by complaining, but it is useless trying to blame people like kernel maintainers for poor testing. It is good to stop and appreciate how beautiful the dance is; this is one of the purest free markets we have in the world and it is pretty amazing how well it hangs together since it looks like a hearty sneeze could bring the whole thing down.
Governments have enforced standards for a long time. There's always that tradeoff. Standardization has benefits, and at some point the government says that a standard is "good enough".

They took all the sludge and moved it to another location then buried the area in a thin layer of new soil and planted some grass and said see we can clean it up.

Yes, we have to dig things out of the ground to sustain our society. Oil, metals, minerals. It's not clean. We do what we can.

You can insert the "we should improve society" somewhat meme all you want, but it doesn't hide that fact that the people who complain the most are just as likely to reap the rewards of all the things they hate.
I like LaTeX for the quality of it's pdf output, I use in for docs that need to be "printed" (non necessarily on paper, but still 'fixed typographical form for potentially long term archiving) not for anything else and yes I DO HATE pdfs because of their design, but PostScript is not much common these days and while a bit better for certain aspect is not much better in general, dvi is even worse.

For my notes, for anything that need to be "live" I use org-mode because:

- it's a far more natural markup than anything else

- it's rendered INLINE, no need to jump between a source form and a rendered one, a thing MD lovers fails to understand

- it's an outlining tool, another thing most other tools fails miserably to understand

- it easily incorporate live things in other languages (org-babel) a thing no modern REPL-alike DocUI like Jupyter can't do

Long story short I prefer the best tool depending on the job. HTML might be the least common denominator tool, making it the worst in essentially all cases. XML for machine usage, SGML in general, are good for machine usage, but they are very impractical in current usage, just see the actual crappy state of things for e-invoicing with XML/XADES docs + XSL to render them in the end as pdf for the human. They are a good too in some case, but again not the best for any specific case.
The raise of single node computing is powered by two things:

What do you mean by fully analyzed? It’s the LLM that does the embedding.
Then do not use a tool that was designed for typesetting printed pages which is what LaTex is for. The author of the article seems to think about LaTex only for math rendering. But that is just a fraction of what it is used for. Complex diagrams with tikz or typesetting entire books, so that adding content in an arbitrary place still makes the rest of the book look good without breaking layout are some of the examples of why I would use LaTex instead of html

As I understand it, the problem is one of hyperbolic doubt.

Imagine if you were on trial where the evidence against you came from, say, a computerised breathalyser.

You might argue that the code has bugs. Then that the configuration was wrong. Then that the hardware design was faulty. Then that the individual components were broken. Then that the data was altered in transmission. Then that a hacker got in. Then that a cosmic ray corrupted the data. And so on.

The defendant has no proof that the evidence is faulty, and the producers of the evidence can demonstrate (to some degree) that their hardware & software are correct.

At some point, the court has to accept the evidence presented to it. In the UK, at the moment, the assumption is that a computer is operating correctly unless shown otherwise.

If you think "app store spam" is a real thing, you've spent way too much time on app store.

I install apps that I need -- news, banking, podcast, email, Uber etc, usually from well known companies. A small amount of apps are lesser known but they have good reviews.

I don't think there is any fundamental difference from the Apple app store. Maybe do a check of yourself first.
To me the best change they made in all that time was getting rid of the 1 gp = 1 xp mechanic. It toned down the murder hoboing a lot.
Climbing a tree is probably fine?

I think the paper addressed this but what we consider risky play now is so sanitized. I am pretty sure climbing a tree is more than fine even 30 years ago.
I think you've misunderstood the point of the post. Of course bugs happen and things go wrong, including on our side. What makes it so much worse is Apple's opaqueness: no communication on bugs, no release schedule, no public plans. So we have no idea what will ship or when or whether catastrophic bugs will go to worldwide release or be fixed. For example how am I supposed to avoid booking a holiday when Safari's stable release happens, when the release date is an Apple secret right up until the very moment it begins its worldwide release? You can't blame me for messing up my planning there, because it's simply not possible, and it can result in a great deal of stress for developers like me.

All other browsers have enough communication and transparency to avoid this. Towards the end of the blog post I outline what Apple need to do - which all other browser makers already do - to make it at least vaguely tolerable to develop for Safari.
"Less verbose" I guess by a few characters... at the expense that you're not writing real CSS rules. So you're having to translate every rule into whatever Tailwind's syntax is for the same thing.
>Yes, it's been Apple's modus operandi with the App Store from the start: trick consumers into thinking the App Store being a monopoly is the only thing that can protect them against malware, illicit and questionable app content, pirated software, scams, and fraud.

It's the same sales pitch that Canonical is using to justify its centralized snap store.
the point of them is that you are providing full proper HTML and CSS so client-side stuff kicks in only when it can and needs to be kicked in.
Please don't do this. Web-sites that restrict scaling are terrible for accessibility.

That’s exactly what the author says at the beginning:

It's discussed at the very end of section 8 and all of section 9 that interactive functionality would use web components.
> I'm not sure many employers would have a problem.

Why would you be sure of this? Employers (i.e. people in power) will always resist change that in any way could lesson their power. Like the ability to tell people to work in unsafe conditions, or get them to work hours without pay (wage theft). This is especially true when they can pocket the money themselves.

As a counter-point, can anyone think of examples of complete nonsense rules that employers in non-union workplaces enforce?
I'm Canadian. Went to school in Edmonton. Visited the oil sands a few times. It's amazing, in both a "good" and "bad" sense.

But the climate change discourse is so poisoned, and scientific research so politicized, I find this hard to believe. 63 times? It's a headline meant to grab attention. It's simply not possible this is the case without anyone ever noticing prior, or massive liability issues. Blame the companies, of course. But how could the government be so inept to allow it? It's extraordinary. To the point I can't even be bothered to look at the paper, since I have to assume they are measuring something completely different.
does the same work for when you repeatedly provide proof it is wrong, it "apologises" and says it will amend its response, only to be wrong again, and again..?
This is the problem for sure.

I hate social media and I am someone who this site is directed at. What I like about HN is the interaction but no "followers". Of course, people want their thoughts to not be disliked but it is not a childish, high school popularity contest that if you get popular enough, you get paid for being popular.

A network without nodes and edges isn't a network.

Myspace also didn't brand itself as "super internet forum" or something like that. If you really do something different to interest people who hate social media, it will need to have no resemblance to social media.

The point is not that there are no valid uses for Hadoop, but that most people who think they have big data do not have big data. Whereas your use case sounds like it (for the time being) genuinely is big data, or at least at a size where it is a reasonable tradeoff and judgement call.

To people's beliefs on this, here's a Forbes article on Big Data [1] (yes, I know Forbes is now a glorified blog for people to pay for exposure). It uses as example a company with 2.2 million pages of text and diagrams. Unless those are far above average, they fit in RAM on a single server, or on a small RAID array of NVMe drives.

That's not Big Data.

I've indexed more than that as a side-project on a desktop-class machine with spinning rust.

The people who think that is big data are the audience of this, not people with actual big data.

When you label something the implicit purpose is that it is now reusable. But an InnerWrapper class defined within a React component should be private and not actually reused, whether you are using global styles or css in JS (because it should be a private implementation detail—otherwise the component consumer has to also figure out the classes to apply).

App notarisation will likely prohibit F-Droid self-building of apps, as developers would still have to provide 'notarised' binaries to third-party app-stores, which kinda kills the model of F-Droid. And Apple will charge developers directly for their installs, so F-Droid being non-profit doesn't really matter.

This is just a farce at this point.
This echoes the problems we see in LLVM. Tooling is de-prioritized in several large corporation-funded open-source projects.
100%. I'll go on to suggest that we can do 2 or more things at once.

Learning to talk to computers the 'old fashioned' way improved my communication skills immensely. E.g., getting specific about what outcome or result I'm interested in achieving; inputs I believe or assume (incorrectly?) are required; necessary constraints on the solution, etc. But, I can articulate all of that in a way that is personable yet professional.

In the age of LLMs I think most of us will manage human-to-human interactions just fine.

"These were monstrously big projects, which didn’t involve the users at all in the design process. Even the Post Office management didn’t get to see the software"
