Is there a way to instruct browsers, when available, to just go right into reader mode? I wonder if when your page is so minimal like this one, you may as well just do that instead.

Or I guess at that point, you just don’t do styles?

Of all the things some people don’t do with their webpage, I’m the biggest fan of not doing visual complexity.
Then presumably the states with these rules will be the least violent in the country, right?

Spoiler: they’re not. In fact several of the states without those rules have less violent crime.

If you want to say each state is different, sure. But there is zero way of proving your hypothesis.

My first thought was “Wow, that’s a lot bigger than a coke bottle.”
You clearly have no idea how the internet works.

The rock bottom rate for IP transit is $60/gbps. None of the infrastructure cost is included here.

And that’s with Hurricane Electric. They are a bit notorious for having probably the worst routing in the industry, but they are also the cheapest in the industry.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_transit

It’s nowhere near as simple as “large fiber pipes capable of accomodating spikes”.

There are very good reasons why hyperscalers are building their own intercontinental undersea fiber networks. So they don’t have to pay for the _extremely_ expensive intercontinental transit.

Last I checked renting a wave capable of doing 400gbps between Amsterdam and New York was close to $80k/mo. A wave is basically a dedicated wavelength of light guaranteed to you and only you.

You don’t want your ISP to oversubscribe? Become your own ISP. Get an AS number. Get your own IP space (both of these can be done on the cheap, /36 of v6 is basically free and /24 of v4 can be had for $100 a month). Get a BGP session with a transit provider. Pay them for transit.

Get IXP links so you have direct access to AWS, Google and Netflix. Save on the transit costs there! But the IXP peerings aren’t cheap and on a small scale will certainly cost more than transit.

Congratulations, you’re now paying $1000 a month for 1gbps guaranteed. It gets cheaper with scale, but scale also increases your infra costs.

Everyone would be on 10mbps if ISPs weren’t allowed to oversubscribe.

I became my own ISP as a hobby (https://bgp.tools/as/200676). This hobby costs me $200/mo, and I don’t have any real transit, just cheapo VPSes in locations convenient for me.

Wanna know what my residential ISP whom I pay €19/mo for 1gbps residential service quoted me for a BGP session at my home on a business connection? €9800 in setup fees, €2000/mo, min. 3 year commitment + transit. Of course that was a “fuck off, we just don’t want to do this” quote, but the only alternative I have here is to pull my own fiber.

Your rule is a common one, but somewhat misses the point of the argument. In the absence of a CLA who does own the copyright to the work you do?

The point of the article us that it may, or may not, be you.

I notice that you weren't clear on this part in your post, suggesting perhaps that it's not something that's front-of-mind like the CLA is.

On the CLA front I'm on the fence. Assign, don't assign, that's for each person to decide.

But the alternative to CLA is not necessarily "I keep the copyright". That's the point the article is asking you to consider.

Aside; unless you have a specific bit of paper assigning copyright to you, and assuming you have a day job, it's very unlikely that you hold the copyright even if you only do OSS work at home on weekends.

And lastly - have you ever enforced your copyright legally? If you have never enforced a copyright violation then your work is effectively public domain. Yes the threat that you could take action exists, but in practice your contributed-to-project can change their license and call your bluff.

I have read novels written by engineers. More often than not, they are unreadable. They fail to understand why people read (or write). They are an engineer's idea of what a novel should look like.

On the other hand: Greg Egan ([1], [2]) is a mathematician and novelist. His novels are sometimes considered to be barely readable (if you are not part of his audience). On the other hand: he does seem to understand why people read his novels - he knows his audience. :-D Readers praise his novels for the worldbuilding (though commonly the story is considered to the weaker side of many of his novels).

So I do imagine that such engineers who write novels perfectly know why people read - they just write for a different audience. :-)

How do you delineate between conditions that are "lifestyle driven" and not? When you develop a problem with your body it doesn't come with a receipt listing the cause.

I've personally had postural issues that were for many years simply attributed to poor discipline. It later turned out that I have a connective tissue disorder that was destroying the joints in my body.

All you I can see your proposition doing is giving insurures another reason to decline potentially legitimate claims. Your case would be more rational if you were arguing for no insurance at all.
Not only the pricing by itself, every story that I've heard about normal people trying to actually give them money is that they actually don't want to sell it to anyone other than big players

Well, the US dollar is an instrument to serve the interests of the US people. Many Americans were harmed by the collapse, so the government is going to try to claw back what it can for its people. After all, doesn’t matter where you are in the world, if you’ve got USD in your hands, you’re subject to US law.

Lawmakers/prosecutors do know that they are unlikely to recover a majority of lost funds. They’re going to put this man behind bars as a deterrent to others who want to (allegedly) defraud Americans.

I agree with pretty much everything on that page except:

> Web page annoyances that I don't inflict on you here / I don't use visitor IP addresses outside of a context of filtering abuse.

This point bit me personally about 5 years ago. As I browsed HN at home, I found that links to her website would not load - I would get a connection timed out error. Sometimes I would bookmark those pages in the hopes of reading them later. By accident, I noticed that her website did load when I was using public Wi-Fi or visited other people's homes.

I assumed it was some kind of network routing error, so I emailed my Canadian ISP to ask why I couldn't load her site at my home. They got back to me quickly and said that there were no networking problems, so go email the site operator instead. I contacted Rachel and she said - and this is my poor paraphrasing from memory - that the IP ban was something she intentionally implemented but I got caught as a false positive. She quickly unbanned my IP or some range containing me, and I never experienced any problems again. And no, I never did anything that would warrant a ban; I clicked on pages as a human user and never botted her site or anything like that, so I'm 100% sure that I was collateral damage for someone else's behavior.

The situation I saw was a very rare one, where I'd observe different behaviors depending on which network I accessed her site from. Sure, I would occasionally see "verification" requests from megacorps like Google/CAPTCHA, banks, Cloudflare, etc. when I changed networks or countries, but I grew to expect that annoyance. I basically never see specific bans from small operators like her. I don't fault her for doing so, though, as I am aware of various forms of network and computer system abuse, and have implemented a few countermeasures in my work sporadically.

> I don't force you to use SSL/TLS to connect here. Use it if you want, but if you can't, hey, that's fine, too.

Agreed, but I would like HN users to submit the HTTPS version. I'm not doing this to virtue-signal or anything like that. I'm telling you, a number of years ago when going through Atlanta airport, I used their Wi-Fi and clicked on a bunch of HN links, and the pages that were delivered over unsecured HTTP got rewritten with injections of the ISP's ads. This is not funny and we should proactively prevent that by making the HTTPS URL be the default one that we share. (I'm not against her providing an HTTP version.)

As for everything else, I am so glad that her web pages don't have fixed top bars, the bloody simulated progress bar (I like my browser's scrollbar very much thank you), ample visual space wasted for ads (most mainstream news sites are guilty), space wasted mid-page to "sign up to my email newsletter", modal dialog boxes (usually also to sign up to newsletter), etc.
Power of attorney, and hold all his cards etc for him.

Synthesizing 1-Bit Audio on an Esoteric CPU [video]
Great comment.

Agree with everything; Indeed "polymathy" is our natural state because we are always thinking/playing with different concepts and their interrelationships. It is highly frustrating when i see folks saying things like they "can't learn/understand/grok something" and treating it as some sort of an intrinsic limitation whereas the reality is that all people have the potential and if they really applied themselves will be far better than most folks. Skim/Browse/Read books/articles/watch videos on any and every topic that takes your fancy, think over connecting the dots, debate/discuss/argue to strengthen understanding and always keep switching between "the forest"(i.e. the holistic big picture) and "the trees"(i.e. the individual specialties). This is true Education and should be approached with full enthusiasm and distinct from Schooling/Job needs.
> I don't keep a "dick bar" that sticks to the top of the page to remind you which site you're on.

I use an extension called "Bar Breaker" that hides these when you scroll away from the top/bottom of the page.[0] More people should know about it.

Plastics are incredibly cheap if you put them in a landfill at the end of life.

I agree that we should try and reduce our use of plastics. But their environmental impact is very small when they are disposed of properly.
In school, we played a lot of Skat [1] in the breaks.

Considering the emergence of 3D video games at that time, I indeed loved to imagine how a 3D version of Skat might look like. :-)

Good luck with that. In the meantime, recycling process improvements can make plastic recycling less of a failure, and eventually a success.
Exactly. +100
Applying the logic of the article to itself, what existing vendor with cozy arrangements would want to let someone with Extensive Monetary assets anywhere near the prize?

The article makes a good point about healthy skepticism; let that be omnidirectional.
> with AGPL they couldn't build a valid business model

It's not so clear cut.

There are differences between the GPL and AGPL, and they can have an effect on how well a business or non-profit (which Codeberg is) that uses it or is based on it (which Codeberg is) functions.

Forgejo uses the GPL, which is meant for a balance between having it remain open source (a reason for Copyleft) and it being convenient (compared to the AGPL). When a code change is pushed to the servers of someone using Forgejo, they don't need to worry about releasing the changes - only when distributing it. It may take time to prepare the changes to be released publicly, or it may reveal details about a client who is using it.

Forgejo is vendor-neutral because Forgejo itself and their flagship user, Forgejo, use it under the same license as everyone else, and is pretty vendor-friendly because it's under the GPL rather than the AGPL.

Element isn't vendor-neutral because they don't use it under the same license as everyone else. They have the copyright and they don't have to abide by the AGPL. It isn't so vendor-friendly as an open source product to other vendors besides them because people outside have to use it under the AGPL, and might have a situation where a client needs something and the release is held up because the customizations are going to have to be made public as source code as soon as they're accessible over the network.

Both of these are products that are integration-heavy. The AGPL can be a lot more vendor-friendly for products that aren't so integration-heavy.
Yep. I don’t use NASA’s rules though, it was just an example. Like most of graphics research, flood fill is an algorithm you won’t ever see in a safety critical environment like the space shuttle. And for better or worse, heap allocation is used in production code several orders of magnitude more often than recursion. Heap allocation was to be avoided when I was first working in games, but these days people use it all the time.
The dress, anyone?
I think recycling, or reuse, could be made to be cheaper or more effective with better policy. This has to come from the top down. For example, by regulation on product design, or better incentives for consumer recycling (like deposits).
I don't think anyone believes leadership have souls anymore.
>It helps the most people in a sustainable way.

Without taking this too seriously, define "sustainable." The free, ad-supported model is what has given us the social media companies, which has contributed hugely to making the global order look less sustainable than ever.
Somebody is paying for it. If not insurance companies, then the people through the government.

As a citizen of a country with socialized health care, I will tell you the politicians promise the world but when the bill comes they can't seem to find their way out of the room fast enough.

The only way to avoid this adversarial relationship is to pay for it yourself. No insurance, no government, nothing. That means vast amounts of people will not be able to afford even a doctor's private practice.

It's sad but the bitter truth is nobody really wants to pay for other people's health care either. They only say they do because it wins them votes or clients. They all can't leave the room fast enough when the bill actually comes. Politicians have other far grander things they'd rather do with all that taxpayer money, and that's when they're not corrupt and pocketing it. Insurers obviously want profit. They're all betting you won't actually need all that fancy schmancy health care they promised you. They're literally banking on it.

In my experience, people barely want to pay for their own health care. They "want" to but start appealing to the altruism of their fellow man the second the bill comes. In my country, doctors are shamed every day because of our "oath" to help others. People act like we are their slaves, not even entitled to payment for services rendered. The good doctor is the one who pursues medicine as a hobby, who walks the earth helping others in need, with no needs of his own to tend to. The good doctor somehow absorbs the costs of it all. Including the costs of the cures involved. Especially the opportunity costs.

People are not prepared for the soulless utilitarianism of public health care. The bitter truth is there aren't enough medical resources for everybody. You must pick and choose who gets that fancy MRI scan. If you pick right you kill people. If you pick wrong you kill even more people. You have hundreds of millions of citizens, how do you help as many as possible as much as possible with the resources available? Decentralization via hundreds of basic clinics and hospitals turns out to be better than centralizing everything into one well equipped giga hospital. It's not about any one guy. It's about saving costs now so that you can help more people later. That's what primary care is all about. Saving costs, by promoting healthy lifestyles which means less sick people later in life where treatment is more expensive. It's about money, about resources.

But people don't want that. Good lifestyles are hard to lead, they require sacrifices. They want to do whatever they want, then go to the doctors when they get sick, then they want others to pay for whatever's necessary to fix it, and they want it fixed good as new. They are like consumers who don't want to pay for the services they need. Nobody wants to pay for it, even the people who directly need the services.
Wonder if they were able to fuse more than two.

The point raised by the article is the reverse.

They agree with you that your company does not want to sue. Specifically (in some cases) they explicitly remove your ability to sue violators.

Obviously each company and employee situation is different, but the default position is they own the copyright, and they'd prefer not to sue anyone.

This leads to copyright violations being ignored.

Whether violations are something you care about or not is up to you. Personally I don't get over wound up by it (my code is pirated all the time) but others feel very strongly in this space. This article is pointing out that if you do care, then it pays to make sure where your copyright exists.
Hmm same country which protects other countries criminals and gives a middle finger to other countrys laws
There are absolutely vested interests that would want to stop any new players from entering and would try to stop that from happening. One benefit of existing processes is that there is usually at least some degree of visibility or accountability in the legacy procurement processes that would make their efforts visible. A non-department “department” like DOGE has no such transparency, as is obvious by the fact that there’s been no vetting of its current operations, not even the suggestion of congressional oversight, and no mention of the fact that it’s run by government suppliers with obvious conflicts of interest.

The plain conflict of interest of current suppliers is obvious.
Interpreters don't need to have dynamic typing: for example the JVM and the interpreters before JIT. Even with dynamic types there are some spectacularly clever tricks people use: Smalltalk VMs are where they were invented and practiced a bunch.

In crypto code branching is exactly what you don't want to do to guarantee security. Branches go both ways if an attacker can force a mispeculate and microarchitectural state is not rolled back because it can't be.
It obviously won't come close on cost to the consumer so what do you base that on? Surely simple market economics apply in this case?
Remember kids, piracy isn't cool. By stealing software (especially indie software) you are robbing real people of profits that they most likely deserve.

> Dedicated Internet access is a thing, but it's expensive; and I'd argue that even that is oversubscribed if you go far enough up the chain.

The only way to get internet access that’s not oversubscribed is by renting (or pulling your own) layer 0. By that I mean either renting a wavelength between certain PoPs or just pulling your own fiber.
I agree with most of this. If every website followed these, the web would be heaven (again)...

But why this one?

>I don't force you to use SSL/TLS to connect here. Use it if you want, but if you can't, hey, that's fine, too.

What is wrong with redirecting 80 to 443 in today's world?

Security wise, I know that something innocuous like a personal blog is not very sensitive, so encrypting that traffic is not that important. But as a matter of security policy, why not just encrypt everything? Once upon a time you might have cared about the extra CPU load from TLS, but nowadays it seems trivial. Encrypting everything arguably helps protect the secure stuff too, as it widens the attacker's search space.

These days, browser are moving towards treating HTTP as a bug and throw up annoying propaganda warnings about it. Just redirecting seems like the less annoying option.
Nice. This may be my pet peeve on the modern internet. Nearly EVERY site has a dick bar, and the reason I care is it breaks scrolling with spacebar, which is THE most comfortable way to read long content, it scrolls you a screen at a time. But a dickbar obscures the first 1 to…10? lines of the content, so you have to scroll back up. The only thing worse than the dickbar is the dickbar that appears and disappears depending on last direction scrolled, so that each move of the scrolling mechanism changes the viewport size. A pox on them all.

Yea this one. If you have solid fundamentals these LLMs are really handy in assisting and never leading.

It's probably reasonable to use HSTS to force https-aware browsers to upgrade and avoid injection of all the things she hates. Dumb browsers like `netcat` are not harmed by this at all. But even then ... why aren't you using `curl` or something?
