Hugo! I stick with Hugo for all things SSG these days. I like how it's a single binary, runs uber-fast, and compiles down to a nice clean set of HTML, CSS, and JS (if needed - for my needs it usually isn't).

My one mark against it is the learning curve is sharp. That's okay for me, since I plan to use it to the end of my days, and so I can amortize the cost of learning it once against many decades of productivity. I have an old GitHub page for people struggling to get to base camp on its learning curve: https://github.com/Siilikuin/minimum-viable-hugo

And here are some sites I run in it:

https://andrew-quinn.me/, my barebones personal blog.

https://hiandrewquinn.github.io/til-site/, my much more frequently updated TILs. Think of this as halfway between a blog and Twitter.

https://hiandrewquinn.github.io/selkouutiset-archive/, a daily updating news archive for the Simple Finnish broadcast, happily running since 2023. The pipeline for this one is interesting, since it uses not only Hugo but Git submodules under the hood. One Git repo exists purely to curl the page I'm watching every night, and I try to mess with that one as little as possible because messing up might mean a night goes unarchived. An intermediate one submodules repo #1 and cleans up the HTML to Hugo-friendly Markdown with pandoc and sed. The final one imports this slimmed down, Markdownified version directly into its content/ directory as a Git submodule and redeploys the whole shebang every night. So far we're up to over a thousand unique HTML pages and this refinery has continued to work with only minimal changes, because we've stuck with such reliable and slow-changing tooling.
That's certainly one way to go, and this "best effort" support as you describe it is what I personally advocate for. Put it out there on the free Internet, and if it works in China as well, great.

But if your business has customers in China, and wants to retain them long-term, this is untenable. Not only do you risk getting blocked on a whim, but without local servers latency will suffer as well.
The Seliger Act (HB701): Testimony for a New Law
"I have some very exciting news! [text deleted], I’ve had the opportunity to help craft a bill greatly improving access to clinical trials and experimental therapies for terminally ill patients in New Hampshire.

My latest essay (below) is the testimony I’ve submitted to the New Hampshire House Committee for Health and Human Services. [text deleted]

This bill was born from parts of my care-reform wish list, including some really big, but very doable, asks. Bill HB701 - The Seliger Act - would make New Hampshire the leading state for “right-to-try”. "

The question is "how?" though. The chirality filter on Earth is basically Earth-life: it almost ubiquitously creates left-handed amino acids. But all known chemical ways of doing this produce racemic mixtures of both types.

If we found say, a high pressure synthesis method which was heavily biased chirally, then that would be good evidence but none has been discovered.
Next.js on Vercel. I don't get enough hits to take me out of the free tier, so I'm fine staying here for now. If it became absurdly expensive, I'd try to either self-host, or move to something else.

All the blog posts are just written in markdown and would be easy to migrate, but some of the fancier stuff would be harder.

Luckily if you just write drivel like me, the free tier lasts a long time

Show HN: Quickflip, the fastest ever word puzzle
This is my new word puzzle, designed to be played in under 10 seconds (if you're good at word games that is!)

There are 8 tiles with letters on either side and you flip them to make a word. Two words are possible, a correct and a wrong one. There is a clue to help you avoid the wrong word.
You don't need to repetitiously write things over and over again. You can link or reference the relevant parts with clickable links.

This way your document will look compact and neat while having all the necessary information contained in everywhere and every part of your documentation.

Also interconnected documents reduce the burden of repeatedly updating duplicate parts. You reference or link it, and update and change it for once.

Note: Yes, I have intentionally and knowingly written that way.
Given the capabilites of the average HN user, it would be trivial to send to a local share that is monitored and auto uploads, effectively firewalling the printer off. I do this with my "smart TV", it only has access to my web proxy and a DNS sever I control, whitelist only.
Krugman and Pettis are among the small group of economics / finance people I follow. Do you have any other recommendations of people to follow?

Regarding Pettis, I still haven't decided whether I agree with (and understand) his worldview.
You do know that Europe still haven't been able to decouple from the Russian nuclear supply chain?

The only way to be independent is to invest in renewables and storage.

Pretty much every sentence in this comment doesn't correspond to reality. You should first go look at some real world data before commenting on this issue.
Oooooh. I guess that although the signal will be fainter, as they're ~21x further away than usual (240k miles vs 20k), they'll have the advantage of having less noise and practically no signal bouncing.

What I don't know is: Even when receiving a good signal... how difficult would be calculating location when satellites are going to be all concentrated in a really small portion of the sky, and all of them in a proportionally small distance between them, compared to the distance of the receptor?
Nobody installed any missiles in Ukraine. As to alliances, Cuba remained an ally of the USSR until its very end in 1991.
Ha, I don't know anything at all about how language evolved. But, when you listen to somebody speaking--if you can bracket the meaning (which tends to soak up all our conscious attention)--you can hear the rhythm and you can hear the melodies. You can hear the music.

In order to understand somebody who speaks English in a different enough dialect, you have to really listen to the rhythm and melody--in order to puzzle out the meanings. The meanings are not hitting you in the face, they are more coy, and you have to seek them out while listening to songs you've never heard before!

Same goes with speaking with somebody who speaks English as a second language. You can hear the music in a way which is hard to do when listening to native speakers. Not impossible--once you realize what is happening, you can learn to pay attention to it.

But think about all the different ways you've hear English spoken...French accents, Nigerian accents, German accents, Russian accents, north Indian and south Indian accents, Mexican accents,.....It's like turning into a radio station playing the music of the world.

And unless they all were taking the time to learn English, we would not be hearing their music. And we would not be able to avail ourselves of an inexhaustible supply of new idioms, new ways of emphasizing, new ways of conveying subtle emotional cues...
This has been going on for a long bloody time.

My old brother ink printer (10-15years ago) had an internal counter which upon reaching some threshold value (20k pages or whatever), would stop printing and would show some error.

To fix it, you had to go into special secret "Maintenance/Service" mode by pressing the right combination of keys and then resetting this value.

Which means it had to be thrown out or sent to "repair/servicing" after N number of pages by design.

The number one thing to do when buying a printer is to check how hackable/refillable it is, and which printer has the most active hacking/refilling systems available from China and other countries that can't afford to buy overpriced originals, etc.
We still haven't been able to decouple from the Russian nuclear industry. It is one of few industries not yet sanctioned.

On the other hand Germany managed to decouple itself from the Russian fossil gas industry within months.

So tell me again "How it can be done anywhere" when we apparently can't do it without Russia 3 years into the war.
Claiming that users just don't understand what selling their data means is incredibly patronizing. Everyone colloquially understands that "selling user data" isn't limited to just selling ZIP archives of our browsing history, but also includes e.g. targeted advertising by the likes of Google, which is precisely why we sought alternatives that explicitly promised not to sell our data.
A country is much less dependent on imports for survival than a castle.
> Lessons learnt for both Apple and Google in recent weeks then. If you want to turn our phones into AI-fueled machines, then let us know what you’re doing before you do it, and give us the opportunity to say yes or no. Otherwise it fuels fear of the unknown. And if AI is to bed down on our smartphones with access to all our apps and data, then it needs to establish high trust bars and stick to them rigidly.

Is that really a lesson learnt?

Didn't Google already know what the reaction would be, before they consciously (given it's a significant launch) decided to do it that way?

Why would they care about a little blogger noise?

Show HN: Data-driven curation of talent profiles for outbound recruiting
After seeing first hand how dreadful hiring is in the age of LLMs, we learned that even early stage startups need to do outbound recruiting.

So we made The Shortlist to curate tech talent profiles that you can use to do outbound recruiting, without having to sit on LinkedIn Recruiter for hours.

There is really no difference between the two cases, because any EV chargers will also have multiple levels of over-current, over-voltage and short-circuit protection, i.e. both at each charger and for the entire charging station.

So not even an exploding car would be able to prevent the disconnection of the chargers by some of the protection circuits.
You do know that new built western nuclear power costs €170/MWh. It will in no shape or form lower electricity costs.

Investing in renewables and storage will.
My time in not going to those places to pick up a job is worth more than the cost of a printer. I use those places for large prints - so far once in my life - but it takes valuable time.

That's an admin interface, to configure the server. Webmail is something that one uses to read the mails.
Nuclear energy has had a massive research advantage over its entire lifetime. It simply never delivers due to being horrifically expensive.

You just keep making empty promises that never work out in reality. Just look at Flamanville 3 being 7x over budget and 13 years late on a 5 year construction schedule.

You want more of that?!?
Trump just raised military spending by $150 billion, but he's dismantling every government agency that "fulfils basic needs" like education, health, and safety.
This isn't a project unique in his genre. There are also others like Mailu[0] that, although different in the implementation (Docker containers abstracting away the hard parts of deploying "traditional" components) share the spirit of having a self-contained project that is easy to deploy. Are there some specific reasons why you didn't go the Mailu (or some similar project) way?
I'm asking because, every now and then, I have the itch of deploying my own mail server to be used for my side projects (nothing commercial), so if you have an opinion on those projects I would be curious to hear it.

I can sympathise with that, I recently deleted my Instagram account because of the increase in Nazi imagery having a negative impact on my mental health.

But with respect I would suggest that people here can do the same, choose not to click on things they don't want to discuss or ease of visiting the site a little during this time.

Or if that's not possible then it comes back to the question I was asking: Where can we discuss these things? Is there appetite for a new HN fork where we don't have to be neutral or considerate in the face of facism?

Because right now I don't know where else to go. If this was a non-political post about crypto then I wie immediately come here for discussion because I know I can trust my peers here to have a deep and nuances understanding of the technologies involved. But now I come here and I see it is flagged and hear we can't have it visible because it's "too much." That's ok, but where can we do it?

It feels very necessary for my own mental health that these discussions have a space, can you see that side too? And I feel Furthermore a responsibility to the people whose mental health and everything else is being affected directly by these off the wall decisions.
Very well deserved !! Amazing contributions !!
A somewhat related tangent, has anyone got good desktop email client recommendations? Preferably macOS/Linux.

I have 6ish email accounts I need to monitor, and outside of Outlook (and the various hellish variations of it), I'm yet to find a good client like all smartphones seem to have - all inboxes in one client presented together. I recall having a number of issues with Thunderbird a few years ago when I last tried it, but I don't remember why.
Yea I had the exact same experience reading this.
Why waste money on horrifically expensive nuclear power?

Look at the energy crisis. Did we have a lack of energy? No, the pricing mechanism made sure we had no rolling blackouts.

Did we have expensive energy? Yes, that was the whole crisis.

You want to lock in another energy crisis because you are completely locked into trying to justify building nuclear power.
>democracy was protected by codes of conduct, honor, and most importantly, strong content moderation in the form of monopolistic legacy media.

50 years ago? Perhaps some of what you describe applied, in very limited form and only if you view a small segment of the media/political landscape with extremely rose-tinted glasses, but go read more of U.S media history to see how completely off base you really are.

Media in the United states has spent most of its history being absolutely saturated with extremely yellow, scandal-mongering political hack journalism of the absolute most dishonest kind you can imagine (yes even in the age of social media). This was the case throughout the 19th century, the whole early part of the 20th century and it certainly applied 50 years ago, which would be roughly the late 60's to the 70s.

Overall, i'd say you have no idea at all of what you're talking about and pulled this funny notion out of nowhere for the sake of forcing an alarmist point.
Though the fact that directors have certain biases from how they working into the role does also highlight an issue with this kind of effect: when you have technical leads or project managers on a big multi-disciplinary project, they will have a natural tendency to favor the areas they are more familiar with, and bias the decision-making and planning of the project around that. It can be difficult to step back and optimize for the project/system as a whole.
Thinking about a Revolution

If I've learned anything in my 60 years, it's that China can do the USA better than the USA can. Give it a few more short years, and "Hollywood" will be recognized as Chinese. I used to work at a Los Angeles based Academy Award winning VFX studio, now bankrupt because that is how Hollywood treats it's own, and everyone that remained in the business is now in China, developing their VFX and film industry. They even dropped their personal western names and now use Chinese names. They report life is far better there.
So what happens to your existing installations when China stops selling renewables?

They will keep working for years as you find new suppliers for spare parts. When the reach EOL you need to find a new supplier.

In the meantime the already existing required firming capacity might be run a bit harder to manage any shortfall.

But in the nuclear cult that is equivalent to still not being able to decouple Europe from the Russian nuclear industry 3 years into the war.
When their terrorist de-facto government had headquarters under a hospital. It’s really quite recent.

One could argue the people were suppressed all along. But there is no obvious distinction between a Palestinian and a rebel, because an environment like that justifiably breeds rebels.
is there any reliable source for that "going to jail in europe for posting memes"? I keep seeing this argument in online arguments, but can not find a credible source
How can it be a fork of Claude-code when it’s not open source?
It didn't even start out interesting. The main product of the US is weapons not "the dollar". Electricity generation is a metric for what exactly? China's popoulation is rapidly urbanizing. That's all that shows.

But the killer is the gold standard. The author seems to be confusing this with fractional reserve banking. Interestingly, they're anti-crypto, which is kinda odd because most gold bugs became crypto bros.

China's foreign policy is very different. China invests in creating infrastructure in countries to help make them future customers for Chinese products. US foreign policy is simply to loot the Global South and to use foreign aid as a form of economic imperialism.
Legaly the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson-Moss_Warranty_Act applies. They will say it doesn't though: legal fees will be more than a new printer.
Most of mox is written with acme (also some vim)!
Because as much as we like to complain about consumer hostile printer companies, modern printers are marvels. Reliable, excellent print quality, and fast and all that for very inexpensive prices.

If selling printers was a business with decent margins, you would find a lot of Chinese white label printers doing more for less.
Except when it comes to printing quality of photos.

Have a laser myself, but my mom, who does print a lot of high quality images on proper photo paper, does not get the same results with laser.

For you everyday documents though I fully agree.
> How have Sweden, Japan, France, etc. managed to keep income inequality around postwar lows while America hasn't?

They didn’t import millions of poor people to do all the dirty or unpleasant jobs in their countries.
How recent is your experience? Did you set up TLS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DANE/MTA-STS? That's what makes modern mail secure and deliverable (besides basics like matching reverse DNS). The beauty of Mox is that it tells you what exact DNS records you need to set up and it takes care of the certificates. Once it's done I found I have better internet.nl score than some big companies.
Assessing and alleviating state anxiety in large language models
Russia circumvents Western sanctions by creating its own parallel economy
I teach media technology and electronics at an Art University. The people I teach vary wildly in how interested they are in technology.

Yet one truth that emerged over the years is: The more people understand the underlying principles the easier it is for them to make the technology do what they want.

Good equipment empowers users to understand the underlying principles by using simple abstractions, bad technology tries to obscure underlying principle by using bad abstractions.

If the abstraction made mistakenly tries to simplify a thing more than is reasonably possible, it not only takes agency away from people new to that technology — it can also make it hard or impossible to for people who know the technology on an expert level.

Free consultation with an early stage startup focused CMO – Anyone interested?
So, I did this once in the r/startup community a couple months ago and had 27 people reach out of which around 20 ended up in 30 minute calls.
Learning about what people are building and seeing what issues they are facing was an enriching experience even for me.

As a growth marketing professional working mostly with early stage startups Ive seen a lot in the past decade and a half, but startups are as colorful as the people who start them, and markets shift, needs change, from a marketing perspective every product / service is different, and its thrilling to work in that space.

Im not gonna lie, it can be frustrating at times but also very rewarding at other times.

If the moderators allow, I will offer my time again to the community, but learning from past experiences there are a few bullet points in regards to this activity:

I can dedicate a maximum of 10 hours to this in the next 2 weeks, so a maximum of 20 people can schedule a call.

Please dont schedule a call if your startup is in the idea phase. I can only help you if you are already trying to promote it at least as an MVP.

ecommerce and ecommerce solutions are something I am not proficient in, and industry I have avoided during my career.

If you are interested please let me know in short what your product / service is, what growth stage you are in and what challenges you are currently facing, that helps me quite a bit to prepare myself.

Looking forward to hear from you
I see an enormous amount of talk without money being spent. It is easy to say you "Consider nuclear power" when facing an energy crisis.

As soon as the bill hits the political discussions tend to turn.

See for example the Polish example:

> Poland plans to support this investment through:

> - (i) an equity injection of approximately €14 billion covering 30% of the project's costs;

> - (ii) State guarantees covering 100% of debt taken by PEJ to finance the investment project;

> - (iii) a two-way contract for difference (‘CfD') providing revenue stability over the entire lifetime of the power plant of 60 years.
