> If I am using library X of version 1.2.3 and it ticks all the boxes, has no performance impact, has 0 problems, 0 vulnerabilities (including the results from public, third party and internal code audits) I will continue using it even if version 2 is out, especially if it requires reassessment of risks and some code refactoring due to breaking API changes.

What happens if the library that you're using is completely fine on its own (think React 18) but it's a core cross-dependency for tons of other libraries in your project. No libraries or frameworks should be considered in isolation. Otherwise, it can lead to a situation where you can't use some of the other tools/libraries, etc., because of the other dependency that is quite out of date.
If you dig through twitter, you can find somebody saying something dramatic about basically everything. It might be hyperbole to communicate a feeling. It might be somebody who is legitimately unwell and reacts unreasonably strongly to people. It might be somebody faking it.

You can be almost certain that people using this language don't expect to be aggregated into news articles and then be used as evidence that the world is getting too soft.
Show HN: I made a Node.js boilerplate to ship your startups and web apps in days
Hey HN! I'm Rahim, an indie hacker on a mission to simplify building Node.JS SaaS applications. Today, I'm thrilled to introduce FasterNode.io - a feature-rich boilerplate designed to supercharge your Node.js project.

Think pre-built foundation with essentials like:

Secure & scalable User Authentication
Streamlined Payment Integration (Stripe-ready)
Transactional emails
Clean, Maintainable Codebase

FasterNode lets you:

Ship weeks faster: Ditch boilerplate hell and focus on building the features that matter.
Focus on what you do best: Whether you're a seasoned dev or just starting out, FasterNode streamlines your development process.

Curious? https://fasternode.io/

Here's what sets FasterNode.io apart:

Minimal Abstraction: Full control over your code for easy customization.

Single-Server Design: Own your data and avoid monthly fees for external services.
I'm eager to hear your thoughts and answer any questions!

A Mysql Database: Although most boilerplates use No Sql databases, I've decided to select the alternative and make Mysql the default database so the boilerplates covers even the most complex use cases.

P.S. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @fasternode_ or @RahimRezgui to discuss building cool stuff!
Is there really no way to do this?
Please don't post the exact same comment more than once (the other being https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40317255).
I’m 99% sure that was a joke
If they could combine iPadOS and macOS, and have some clever way to flick between the iPad UI and the mac one, it would be an incredible device

Plug it into a usb-c dock connected to a screen/keyboard/mouse and it's a Mac, put it on the little stand with the magic keyboard and it's a MacBook, hold it in your hand and it's an iPad

My dream device
I have been thinking about this program for a long time now, and one area I haven’t seen covered are references that work even across different versions of the same document (e.g. the book got a new version, but still has the same chapter more or less unchanged, or you highlighted something based on the epub, and switched to the PDF). Hypothesis’s implementation works quite well, as they were sort of forced to handle it due to web pages always changing (they store some of the surrounding context).
Take the Apple Ad in Contrast to the Microsoft Ad that aired during Super Bowl.

The whole time I thought it was an Apple Ad and then it was Microsoft Copilot ad. The made me dream, made me feel I could do more. The ad was about the viewer.

https://youtu.be/SaCVSUbYpVc

See the Apple Siri Ad - it’s about how the device enhances the viewer to do more.

https://youtu.be/8HaEmu-qkD4

Apple has now turned into what they despised.

I absolutely loved the Epic ad that was a take of the original Apple ad which was based on 1984.

Apple - https://youtu.be/VtvjbmoDx-I

Epic - https://youtu.be/euiSHuaw6Q4

It’s fair to say if Steve Jobs was still calling shots, this Ad would have never aired.

The Ad shows everything wrong with Apple. They’ve become a soulless corporation.
There's no reason to reserve you ire for large companies, any business that chooses to make their product irritating for some incremental increase in profitability deserves our scorn.
Ad was distasteful and horrible. Biggest problem I see is that, Nobody in the apple decision making body thought this 'missed the mark', it took a global reaction for them to get it. Wonder how deep they are in their lair with a pigeonholed view of the life.
What random company? There is no such danger unless your idea of an ad blocker is pretty different from mine.

In the case of browser plugins (there are other forms of ad blocker but let's just pick the riskiest for the sake of argument), the only one to consider is ublock origin, written by the famously intractably principled Raymond Gorhill, and open source on top anyway.

That also means Firefox because Chrome & Edge kneecapped the ability of any plugins to do the job. And on mobile that means Android because Apple doesn't allow any other browser engine than Safari on IOS, even Firefox is just a wrapper.

If you can't or won't use a browser & platform that allows you control over your life, you are giving a lot more than merely your browsing history to a non-random company, namely Apple or Google or Microsoft.

It's totally backwards or upside down to worry about the danger of an ad blocker in that context. It's like being in a cage and believing the jailors warnings not to trust any shady subversive characters that may come along and offer you keys or a lesson on lockpicking.

All that said, the existense of ad blockers is really beside the point. The fact that it's not only possible but advisable for each user to employ tools like ad blockers to control their own life instead of just having to take whatever crap every random web site shoves at you, does not change the fact that the web site is shoving crap at you and it would be better if it didn't, and web sites that don't shove crap at you are better than ones that do.

The charge that the site sucks is valid even though effective ad blockers exist to hide the suck on your end.
Well, Microsoft tried this, it was called Windows 8. It failed miserably.
This is indeed a tough question. When trying to do SEO work, I found that the current whole internet has a very small search volume for 3D keywords. 3D is just a means, not an end. But at least, 3D compared to 2D can bring people a more immersive experience, although not everyone will like it. I don't know what real users would come up with. I've seen a lot of professors on the internet using Gather Town to organize their students for group discussions. There are a large number of 3D models on the market, just import them into the Timmerse editor, and you can generate a link that can be accessed by both computers and mobile devices, allowing everyone to gather in this ocean of designer creativity. In the future, if devices like Vision Pro really become hot, people might really get used to this feeling of space travel. What do you think?

I get the gist of what you're saying, but I don't think they're really comparable. Popups spam your OS with trash that impairs your ability to use your machine (at worst). Popover dialogs can be shut down by closing your tab and nothing more. We've also had these style of popovers for a while now because they're generally a really handy way of presenting info. Yeah, they can be used in annoying ways, but there are lots of genuine usecases, like a modal.
The FPGA being used is I believe one of the lowest speced SKUs.

AWS instance prices are more of a supply/demand/availability thing, it would be more interesting to compare from a total cost of ownership / perf-power-area prespective.
That Xbox subscription has been the by far most affordable way to play games though. Thousands of games for $15/month, on both Xbox and PC is way cheaper and pro-consumer then anything Sony or Nintendo ever did.
I'm the developer of depshub.com (for automated dependency updates using AI) and even though a single metric isn't valuable, having any sort of indicators and metrics is very useful when you have more than one repository. Being able to quickly see if your repositories are getting better or worse over time helps to understand when the dependency updates should be prioritized (if so) in the first place. There are a few core metrics that I've built (major vs minor vs patch ratio, security updates, etc.) into the product, and it's one of the most used features up to date.
The title tag disagrees. And that's what for example the HN bookmarklet uses.
It also allows for the basic functionality without JS (and without overloading a hidden checkbox). I'm not sure how far that will get you so maybe JS will be needed for a styled and animated popover, but no-JS support with focus handled properly is nice.

I want to say there was also accessibility support built in but now I don't see it in the spec. If it handles announcing the elements to accessibility tools like a screen reader that'll really help too, its pretty easy to forget to do it manually.
Nice one Rahim!

I like the minimal abstraction part and the fact that it's non-opinionated. I would think that makes it more suited to more people.

Cheers
Jogi
By the way, the landing page looks lit!
I don't enjoy the web today; I curse the way it has been enshittified. I accept that, because I live in a society, much of what is necessary is currently most frictionlessly accomplished in this psychologically manipulative hellscape.

I enjoyed the web of 3 decades ago, prior to advertising.

Funny. But, also, is he saying that privacy policies are a waste of time because no one reads them? Not sure I love the "we don't need oxygen masks on a plane because we never need them" logic (but maybe I missed his real meaning.

In response to this there is vasoconstriction of the cerebral vasculature. No one knows if mild damage is being done to the brain from this.

Somewhat related (not exact same mechanism, but similar), there is evidence elite free-divers are harming their brains [1]. It is easy enough to find literature about the appearance of SB100 protein with too long apnea training (eg. [2]).

However, breath-holding/apnea is not the same as breathwork. The fact of the matter is, there will be no definitive proof one way or the other until someone directly probes cerebral O2 levels for an acute and chronic intervention of breathwork. Again, as someone who has indeed done psychedelics and meditates, I am open to alternative modalities, but I will personally wait for the science over anecdotes.

I think you're comparing apples with grapples.

A popover is floating element that appears to display a contextual piece of information when required.

What you're mentioning is something completely different.

Not to be glib, but the "starving artist" has been a thing for a lot longer than AI (or even Apple) has been around. While I hope your daughter can indeed find a way to make a living from her passions if that's what she wants, taking time to give a good hard think about that (and for that matter whether or not trying to make your passion your job might ruin the passion) isn't the worst thing she could do.

I think there's also something to be said for the fact that while I agree school music programs should not be facing the cuts they do – and that's a battle I was fighting when I was in school too – digital music technology (and its analogs in video and photography arts) have probably been a net positive in terms of bringing the capability to create art to more people than just school programs on their own. When you can make art without consuming resources, without needing large studio spaces or especially in the case of music an entire band of other people, that can give freedom of expression to people that would otherwise have been prevented from participating in the arts because of their circumstances.

I'd also point out that while AI (like any disruptive tech in the arts) may have introduced bad changes, there are also cases where it's allowed for artistic expression that would have been impossible before. My favorite recent example is Billy Joel's new "Turn the Lights Back On" song and video. Watch the video and the obvious thing that jumps out at you is the de-aging / replacement effects. But if you close your eyes and really listen to the music too, you'll discover not only did they play with de-aging visually, but they also played with de-aging his voice. And though the whole song as he ages up in the song, his voice is also changing to match each era until it returns to the present day. That's a cool, artistic and emotional use of AI technology that just wouldn't have been possible before the tools we have now.
For this article, there don’t seem to be many ads on iOS anyway.
That would take a decade to turn a profit on each device. It is a cool idea, though - a glimpse of a world of friendly technology that will never happen
I mean, they obviously didn't execute it well, since so many people had this kind of reaction to it, but the point seemed to me to be that all those "things of aesthetics and soul" are smushed into this one very thin thing, not that they are destroyed.

But sure, I can see why people don't like it.
Xpra?
I think there is a third option. Deliberate outrage.

People yelling at each other on twitter over your ad is free marketing. Tons of it.
Neural networks do not imitate the brain and “training” a network has nothing to do with learning, despite these terms serving double duty.

Machine learning models are just math functions fitted to some data. When we get predictions from them, we’re really just using a technique to interpolate between the data points. The denser a particular region has been sampled in the data, the better the predictions will be. (This is why GPT-anything will do a good job writing solutions to common leetcode problems, while struggling with a novel problem.)

Humans have a powerful abstraction ability far beyond any algorithm that has been developed. We can take in a few pieces of information describing a really unusual set of circumstances, run imaginary experiments and simulations on them, and make very granular and accurate predictions about their consequences. Nobody actually knows how.
I feel guilty for saying this but when I think of Orson Welles, instead of any of his pioneering contributions radio and cinema my mind defaults to 'muahahahh the frensch'. There's something stunning to see master of the arts act in such a way, and in the internet age it's probably his most iconic performance!
Intuitively that makes sense, but housing and labour markets don't seem to correlate much with fertility rates.

In a European context, France has much higher fertility than any of the Nordic countries despite higher unemployment and effectively the same housing affordability stats. More internationally the figures in Israel (pre Oct 2023) and Japan also go against the grain.

Obviously -- that's inferred by the 2.0.
I mean, their strategy was awful. They replaced the start menu for the first time with a whole-screen abomination that ruined power user workflows. They made the desktop TOO much like a tablet, it seemed like they wanted one interface for everything.

Apple is very clear about their product differentiation and would never make macOS and ipadOS exact copies. Case in point: when they brought cursor support over, they painstakingly engineered it to work differently and snap to objects on the screen. I think if they did OP's suggestion and had a macOS screen show up when an iPad is connected to peripherals it would actually work out well.

Show HN: I made an AI Tattoo Maker to help you create your next tattoo
Hey HN,

I coded a website that allows anyone to create their own tattoo. All you need to do is describe your tattoo(s) and AI takes care of the rest. It uses Stable Diffusion text-to-image model, with a lot of prompt engineering behind the scenes.

Let me know if you have any feedback and thank you for taking your time to read this, grateful!
Thank you ever so much Jogi, this means a lot to me. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them here or on twitter.
Well I suppose it's fair to say that only 1/8 planets has plate techtonics, and AFAIK, none of the dozens of moons either.
That study was done by the Williams Group. Although it is widely cited across many popular news sites, it is surprisingly impossible to find the original study. Also, there's also almost no information about the Williams Group out there. No, Wikipedia page, for instance. Their web site says they do: "Government Relations, Public Affairs, Lobbying"
This makes sense, because one of the more famous colonies that the Phoenicians established was Carthage, which is modern day Tunis. Since they had already invented creating purple back in Phoenicia (modern day Lebanon), they simply brought over their traditions/skills along.

I have a DVD from 2004 about them, as I did the National Genographic Project DNA test way back before it was popular, but I must admit, the DVD is so-so. I think afterwards, they got more and more data, and were able to track where they travelled to based on artifacts and DNA. Lots of websites about them, but hard to say what is what. I would trust information by Dr. Pierre Zalloua as he uses DNA analysis for his research into the Phoenicians.

Not OP, but in my daily carry bag I bring: a camera, books, notepad with pencils, and my iPhone.

I carry those other things because I value photography and the phone can’t replace the tactile experience of writing on paper or turning the pages of a book.

I own an aging iPad and will probably buy this new one, but strongly disliked the ad because it seems to be signaling that those things I value are being replaced by the iPad. In a sense, they said the quiet part out loud.
Sidecar sort of does this right now? If you are fine with the iPad functioning as a low res display that the Mac can send a few windows over to. It doesn't work amazingly well for me but I have used it a few times.
Not officially. You can side load UTM using AltStore which requires you to sign apps using your own developer certificate and re-sign them about once a week to keep it running.

The iPads have had the hardware in the M-series chips and the software in the form of Apple's hypervisor framework in iPadOS for a couple of generations now, but Apple hasn't enabled it to be used officially.

I really wish they would just allow this on iPadOS. It still maintains the sandbox model Apple wants for iOS, it would just give a (contained) outlet for doing things that are difficult in native iPadOS.
I have strong positive and negative emotional reactions to things on a daily basis -- I sometimes tear up reading books to my children, have emotional responses to songs, that sort of thing.

As I watched the video I found the destruction beautiful and heartbreaking. If it had been used as an artistic commentary on, oh I don't know, our underappreciation of good tools, the undermining of art under fascism, the dumbing-down and compression of culture under capitalism, etc that would have been interesting.

But the reveal at the end is that the force destroying all these artistic tools is none other than one of the world's richest companies using the spectacle to hawk their latest must-have gewgaw. And the delicious irony of Apple unintentionally positioning itself as the unstoppable, soulless destroyer of art and culture is just chef's kiss perfection. I'm honestly sad they pulled the ad.

But to your question, I haven't noticed any impact of strong emotions on a daily basis except that I get overly excited sometimes when talking about things and have to bring a tissue to movies. I'm similarly curious what it's like for people who don't really have emotional reactions to things. I work with folks like this, and I am curious. Do they feel things when they look at art, listen to music, read literature, look at photos, or is it just sort of background ambiance? When evaluating art do they plot perfection on the horizontal of a graph and importance on the vertical to yield the measure of its greatness?
>which makes the claim even less legitimate.

I'm not sure that follows. Who specifically "inherited" the Right to Rule from Roman Empire was always more of a political claim. The concept of "legitimacy" in this regard is dubious. That said, the original Northwest European territory of the Merovingians-Carolingians had a strong political connection to Roman Imperial Rulership. Not to say that this necessarily translated to "legitimate inheritance", but arguably no territory outside of Byzantium had a stronger historical political claim.

That’s how it feels when inflation made basics jump up 50% and it feels you’re being slowly crushed.

Seeing this is an Ad for one of the world’s richest Companies, the lesson I got is the rich are slowly crushing the median.

Don’t buy their crap.
The goal is to eventually make ads completely unbearable for the handful of people that allow them, eventually destroying that whole toxic sector.

In a sarcastic, dismissive way, that implied superiority. It was a pretty crass way to phrase the question. I learned far more from that than any answer.
Burning books certainly doesn’t have the connotation it used to, given that the idea of a book is now mostly divorced from the physical implementation.

You could burn every physical copy of most recent books and no data would be lost; I assume most authors write with a word processor.
