I used to use both Twitter and Reddit (until they both succumbed to an Eternal September of their own, in my view, although for different reasons), and at least to me they serve very different purposes:

Twitter was great for following the updates of a given person/company/group etc. It allowed me to keep up to date with various topics of interest (cryptography, engineering, my city's public transit system etc). The 140 character limit was always a red herring, in my view: People can just link to their blog or start a thread (which I can both easily follow and ignore).

Reddit was more useful for researching and discussing a given topic. Discussions are way more meandering, and the tree-based interface made that both acceptable (whereas spamming somebody's replies would be considered rude on Twitter) and ergonomic.

In that sense, Reddit was always the spiritual successor to self-hosted bulletin boards, in the same way that Discord has replaced IRC for many groups. (What makes me sad is that it's now seemingly also replacing discussion boards, which sucks because it's not anonymously searchable at all, but that's a different complaint.)

In that way, Reddit seems like a very low hanging fruit to decentralize: Its predecessor already was decentral, in a way! In contrast, there was never a successful decentralized microblogging service before Twitter (and no, RSS doesn't count).

> I hate algorithmic feeds. I just want to see who I follow and no other suggested or promoted stuff :)

That's very fair! I believe this is what ultimately got me quite hooked on Twitter, but in the long run has made me very unhappy while there and prone to doomscrolling.
In 2008 I could make instant, secure online payments with credit cards.

I have a stake in it and I'm willing to admit it is full of scams. Fact is though, ALL finance is full of scams. I'd argue that the inverse is true... people in traditional finance hate on crypto because it actually exposes the fact that their own stuff is full of scams. Case in point:

Ask HN: How to manually filter my YouTube feed on iOS?
I'm sick of going to YouTube for a tech talk, and then it trying to recommend me all this click-bait content. And you can't turn off YouTube Shorts for example.

I would love to have a single event listener for everything I see across all devices, and decide based on some predicates what to allow and block.

Is there a way to do this? I'm thinking some kind of proxy thing...
I'm flabbergasted that there is no mention in the article of the H2 direct iron reduction process which today is the contender when it comes to decarbonization of steel making (especially now that we realize that there are tons of white hydrogen everywhere)
That sounds pretty difficult unless it's also the operating system.
Color me skeptical. Waste heat from a nuke plant is very low quality compared to the extremely high heat needing to make molten steel. We aren't taking about warming potato greenhouses here.
“Mainframe” is not mentioned once in that article.

Yet the headline & entire thread here is all about mainframes.
Somewhat off topic but I only recently learned that that monkeys and ladder experiment never happened, it's just a thought experiment or story to illustrate the point. But the closest real experiments were not nearly as dramatic and didn't have as strong of results.

There are some zero or negative GWP gases actually, like water vapor which hovers around the zero point plus or minus epsilon, HFE 365mcf3 which is below 1, and obviously argon and nitrogen are at zero. Mostly people don't record GWP values that are below 1 since e.g. any common constituent of the atmosphere contributes negligibly.

It's remarkably hard to find organic compounds that are less-bad than CO2 though. It really is the very bottom of a local minimum.
Tried it out for a while, simultaneously with Nostr. It is noteworthy that Jack basically abandoned this and went all into Nostr.

Bluesky is too much of a woke echochamber and it doesn't even have a real chance at achieving its mission, which was decentralized, permissionless, uncensorable sharing of information.

Unfortunately, this project is dead on arrival. I don't think it will ever reach mainstream adoption.
Look up NEM 3.0 and AB 205 and let me know afterwards how you feel about solar in California.
he's on the board says everything. many including myself don't believe he'll give up his stake in neither Bluesky or Nostr.

Nostr is full of crypto and "free speech" people. there will be too much controversies if he's seen active on both.

Thank you for the reply! I suppose that does make sense, though it still doesn't give a warm fuzzy feel separating the functionality. While the average human might only have one email address they use, I'd venture to say people who would want a service such as this would skew more towards having many they use for privacy reasons.

I get what you're saying about how emails aren't the primary means of finding people, but it is a way, and something people often do have more then one of. I'd humbly request you reconsider and try to better incorporate support for automated scans on multiple emails/phones into the main product. For what its worth it looks like Mozilla's product supports 5 based on their docs.

That said, after submitting this comment I'm going to go ahead and sign up for the one year ultimate anyway in hopes that you will reconsider my request if I'm a paid user. :)
>For almost every task it describes, the jQuery code is shorter, cleaner, and more intuitive than the vanilla "modern" JS one.

Just like leftpad.
I went back and checked the prices. None have changed since my prior update except a Lego friends set which is now on clearance, so they should be evaluating even better against inflation.
> "Music writing says: Slow down. Pay attention.”

> It does?

It does. Music is, for most regular people during most of their regular lives, a 3- or 4-minute phenomenon that happens in the background while they're doing other things. To write about music (especially regular, popular music) at all is to invite people to slow down and pay attention, like writing about breathing, or about balance and proprioception.

> Is the publicly available version of Sapling usable?

Yes — I've been using it as a Git replacement for a few months now. A little rough around the edges but mostly it just feels like a better Git to me.
You oversell mainframes, not sure why you're mentioning k8s but Google which brings 10x more money than visa and MasterCard combined does not use mainframes at all but k8s or equivalent and yet they don't have downtimes either.

With k8s on a major cloud provider you get 99.99% for what? 150$/month? And there is no maintenance what so ever.

Full team managing k8s is a lie, even on prem, what exactly there is to manage on a daily basis?
I worked at a large health insurance company a few years back. They had a DB2 server running on an IBM mainframe that they were working on replacing with a data lake and cloud-based NOSQL solutions.

It seemed rather pointless to me. The DB2 server was serving queries just fine and when we were working on setting up a microservice that would allow viewing claims history, the storage and server costs for being able to provide queries against three years’s claims were prohibitive.

But they were still persisting down that road when I left.
LMFAO every example of "modern" looks like a course in how not to design an API, etc. The jQuery examples are so clean and expressive. Imagine landing on a page like that and thinking, "hey, that 'modern' option looks good." You'll end up with 28KB (jQuery gzipped size) of just extra syntax before you're done with your app, not to mention the additional 160 hours of work.

You'll likely be adding 6-700KB of React and its ilk anyway (I see it in every project now).
> the teen’s attraction to extravagance & wealth. What upbringing would cause a child to desire riding in a limousine / pretend to come from old money?

Some people just get like that. A friend of mine went that way - everything became about appearance to them. Clothes, cars, fancy central London office - appearance was everything. They had no interest in anything 'organic' or 'authentic' it was purely about brands, places, status symbols. Really depressing to see where it led them (astray, which I imagine isn't uncommon.)
I wrote puter.com using jQuery :P
If you don't want to use a big framework, then you needn't use any library at all. Nearly everything in jQuery is 1 line of modern JS, no?

Oh absolutely.

I think that's really the most fascinating part about it.

We know scientifically that reducing sodium intake, for a number of people, can reduce blood pressure, which is a positive outcome.

But that's a single factor and observation in a what amounts to a tiny sized bottle.

For as many people that benefit from limiting sodium intake, there are many many many more that can eat as much sodium as they want and it doesn't matter.

To your point of "pop" food science, or just food science in general, the fact is we still largely have solved symptoms instead of causes, in what amounts to "titrations", makes it all very hard to predict.
> It's like with movies: you can watch whatever trends on Rotten Tomatoes, or you can watch a whole bunch of random stuff at a film festival. Guaranteed you will find something at the festival that will never trend on RT but that you'll enjoy thoroughly.

Not my experience at all. Turns out critics are actually decent at judging stuff, and good movies really are better than bad ones.
Worth pointing out this is specifically regarding "cpubenchmark.net", not "cpu.userbenchmark.com" or anything else from User Benchmark, which is known to have a heavy bias against AMD.

It's been Kullback since birth in 1907 to the best of my knowledge, never once Kullbeck.

A very bizarre subset of the population enjoy reading reviews for some reason. Either to: tell them how to feel about something, to validate their own opinion because they lack social company in real life to do so, or because they enjoy it as a weird form of content in and of itself.

But if you're just looking for new music, PF's old curated playlist on their site was obsolete the second Spotify started curating it's own genre playlists.
I won't dare to predict where industry "is going to move", since I'm not really a frontend developer, so what do I know anyway (and especially since it seems to switch directions every couple of years, and mostly being pulled in all directions simultaneously). But personally I still prefer to use stand-alone JS-scripts and libs included directly into the page, if I can. Mostly because I hate having to deal with complicated (and, importantly, rather slow) build process just for the sake of a couple of web-pages, when the real stuff is some totally invisible backend processing or maybe some sort of HTTP API to be used by other services.

Also, honestly, I really just don't know what's the "correct" way to do things in 2024 on frontend, and I don't know where to even look for a guide, if I don't really want to spend next 6 months entirely in the pursuit of attaining "real" frontend-dev proficiency, but ultimately just to make working stuff, even if it doesn't quite follow the v2024 web-etiquette.

I hit the point in my chess journey when I need to start learning a lot of openings to keep progressing (currently at 1,800 on Lichess).

In the past I found flashcards incredibly useful when I was learning foreign words. They're very good when you're learning something for the first time and offer a quick method for reviewing it later, what is very good for periodical learning.

However, I didn't find a good platform for my specific needs.
So, I decided to implement my own: https://flashchess.org/ There a flashcard is represented as an interactable chess board, that allows you to make moves only from the opening you're studying.

I would love to hear your feedback about the flashcard idea in general and my implementation of it. :)

Is it -empathy- though? I suppose I can deliver it in an empathetic way, but I'm not sure telling someone bad news straight will win empathetic points with observers.

The truth hurts sometimes, and empathy makes us want to soften that hurt. But advice is valuable if it's right, not just kind.

Of course its also possible to deliver good advice in such a noxious way that it's impossible to take seriously.

> we'd have been able to address a simple question I asked when I was 18: why is my nose this funny shape that doesn't look like other people's noses? What genes "encode" the "blueprint"? And to be honest, we're still really far from answering questions like that, but through a combination of data collection and machine learning, scientists actually are beginning to understand the complex process that leads to funny nose shapes.

IIRC there was some research that could predict facial shapes from genomes (but it's not a popular direction of research since it touches various taboo topics too closely for many people's comfort), and notably it does not require understanding complex process of how e.g. noses are formed, just data about sufficiently many people to detect correlation patterns.

Look at your own link - the "modern" way of doing it is always about 2-3x as verbose as jQuery. Editors let you type that mess faster, but you'll still have to read through it, maintain it, scroll it into view in your editor, see less of it onscreen at a time, etc. I'll take a clean, succinct API over a noisy verbose cumbersome one any day.

And what are we saving by eschewing it and going vanilla? One little 30kb-gzipped javascript file - smaller than most jpegs. I agree for super simple tasks it might be best to skip it.

The DOM API is a sloppy and hastily-designed pile of crap from the OOP era that we're unfortunately stuck with for legacy reasons. jQuery shows what it could have been.
I remember early in the go release cycle (talking around go1.4->later era) when I would rebuild our application with a new version and marvel at how much faster they made it. GC was another thing which was crazy, they halved GC pause time for like 5 or 6 releases in a row. like 1s -> 500ms -> 250ms -> 125ms etc etc etc.
Interestingly, this does not raise any error, rather has no effect.

Stripe Connect would be a good option here. Very passionate about this area. I made a website that paid people per approved image annotation (for data labeling). It was high friction to get people to sign up as workers (and enter a bunch of personal information into Stripe) but content creators might be an easier sell.

Potentially the result when you rob workers of the right to pride in workmanship. The most common complaint from old Boeing people who have left is that after the merger the McDonnell-Douglas people took over and the company switched from pride in engineering and quality of workmanship to cost cutting and bean counting. Also, shortly after the merger the corporate HQ moved, reflecting the priorities of the CEO. It has since moved again, apparently to be better for lobbying.
Then you have dumb stuff like if you check a box and want some additional form fields, you have to inject a div or input into the DOM manually, and then make sure you initialize your datepicker, but maybe there will be a flash of unpickerified input if you don't do it right.

I wonder if at some point G(raphics)PUs and G(^HMachine-Learning)PUs will diverge to the point that we can start calling them different things. I don't particularly buy into the idea that 3D rendering is just an application of a bunch of compute units with a rasterizer at the end. There's certainly some alpha in graphics-dedicated hardware. Hey! Maybe we can call them "video cards" again!
...low quality heat? Nuclear reactors produce nothing but heat. And it's all just heat, how you transfer it is very independent of the production process
And how much does it leak? If the amount leaking to the atmosphere is a thousand of the amount of CO2 that would have been released for the same process, it's still a huge net win.

Comparing the effect of one kg of H2 with one kg of CO2 is irrelevant if we don't know how much H2 is released compared to the amount of CO2 for corresponding processes to produce the same amount of goods.

Windows 7, Server 2012, macOS 10.13 + 10.14, and so on. Together it makes up nearly 10% of our user base.

We have a very slow-moving customer base and their choice of OS is out of our control. At this time last year there were still more Windows 7 users than Windows 11 in telemetry.

Those old OSes are leaving security support, but actually Windows Server 2012 still gets updates from Microsoft (ESU) until 2026 so i'm surprised you dropped it already.

Yes, Go1.20 will get insecure, but until that usage drops, not much can be done.

Well, one thing: in the past, in order to maintain support for Server 2008, for a long while we built the app with both Go1.10 and Go1.(newer) and switched at install time. I don't recommend it! Every year was more difficult as the open source packages drifted away from compatibility and our build system had to still support GOPATH. Eventually we finally abandoned Go1.10!
Yes it does. That's why the instance choice isn't a burden but such a huge strength.

If we could choose Twitter instances everyone who cared would have simply switched to the one without Elon and there would have been no problem.
Fair. In reality it usually leads to some good questions on the nature of frameworks.
The bulk of Pennsylvania Dutch (read: Deutsch) made their way from German-speaking Switzerland to the Palatinate before leaving for the Americas. So the dialect is a bit of a mixture. They were invited to the Palatinate (and nearby areas) to restore agriculture after the Thirty Years' War. (Source: I have a Pennsylvania Mennonite background.)
TBH this is where I'm at as well. Sadly I've yet to really see a good "simple blogging" product that does both. I use (and love) Blot.im for my own blog but still have to copy/paste to Substack/Buttondown to send the email.
Your original claim was that "slavery" means forced work without compensation, whereas "involuntary servitude" means forced work with or without compensation. Your citation doesn't justify this claim. It not just that there's a distinction, it's the nature of the distinction that I'm disputing.

> If I see forced unpaid laborers, I'm entirely comfortable deeming them slaves.

Yeah, you're comfortable with it because you've redefined "slavery" to mean whatever you want it to mean. But if you did a survey of native English speakers, and asked them if unpaid workers on a chain gang were slaves, how many do you think would say "yes", without qualification? I would be shocked if the answer were more than 20%.

> With k8s on a major cloud provider you get 99.99% for what? 150$/month? And there is no maintenance what so ever.

Gross understatement of costs don't you think? Last time I checked it was a base fee of 150$/month for managed k8s + whatever computing resources you end up using.
There's 2 types of web pages. Websites and web apps. If you're building a web app, you're going to want a framework that isn't going to fall apart the second things start getting complicated. If you're making a little marketing website, sure, sprinkle some jQuery on there and call it a day. Probably better for performance and SEO unless you want to spend 10x as long micro-optimizing your SSR. Point is, there's different use-cases.
