This is all true plus other things that make it difficult to implement a rich text editor are accessibility (keyboard shortcuts!), dark mode (theming) and customizability. Having a rich text editor in the web standards would be nice for pro

I got into CRDTs a little a couple of months ago and stumbled upon TipTap. It sounds really cool. I think they want to release a backend for it soon. (You need one for peer discovery and to get around NAT problems.) In combination with Taur

First of all, modern art is art of the modern age which started after the middle ages. If you are not into depictions of Jesus, saints or medieval nobles you like modern art. Contemporary art is what you are complaining about. In that space

That is because large parts of what is now Poland used to be Germany and not the other way around. Germany did not accept losing the 'German east' until reunification. It took Helmut Kohl threatening to resign for the CDU acceptin

Where did you get that idea? I'd say if you'd claim something like that in public in Germany, you can kiss your career goodbye.

I've had the same experience. Maybe it's my developer bubble, but Kagi has better search results than Google for me.

It is a very impressive pice of technology. The crazy part is the decompressor. It is ~200 bytes of handwritten x86 assembler, tuned for code smallness over 15 years. If you go to the release page, you see every time the shaved one or two b

This demo marks the beginning of the SDF era in the demo scene. If you watch most demos from 2009 they still use solid geometry. elevated showed the superiority of just using fragment shaders for everything. By 2009 the GPUs where fast enou

Most people on the post-growth side of the argument tend to argue that outputs (green house gases, toxins) and not inputs are the major constraining factor. He should really have addressed that.

“I hope I never become as intensely default-skeptical of new technologies.” Bitcoin is 12 years old. HN is just a little ahead of people who just discovered it a year ago. Plus the HN audience knows a little more about technology than “cryp

I‘d even go as far as to say there have been no major improvements in 30 years.

All accumulating ETFs track total return indices. They are not usually talked about so much, but all index providers have provide total return indices.

Deutsche Telekom is using OpenHAB as the basis for its smart home offering and hired some of the core contributors to OpenHAB. Maybe this lead to the fast depreciation cycle. The same thing happened to Angular: its primary developers where

If you search for an english book title on Amazon.de it gets auto-translated to german. I first saw this a couple of weeks ago and it was super confusing. Chances are the search results will be nonsense or empty.

I wish more people would just use self-hosted analysis tools and stop tracking people across sites. I think github does this and they wrote a blog post detailing their reasoning.

Has anyone found the talk about the 1000x inefficiencies yet?

Man month is also pretty dated by now. There is some valid advice in the book still, but oftentimes it has to be 'translated' to the modern computing environment. Other things in it are just completely outdated.

You have to waste energy to create ETH because ‘inflation baaad‘ but destroying ETH is possible by accident. Crypto bros should really take some macroeconomics courses.

I also had to chuckle at that. Self-help gurus are not philosophers. As you can see from the ordering, this list is made by startup-folks and/or programmers. So I take inspiration from the startup, business and science section and igno

David Golumbia has written a book called “The Politics of Bitcoin - Software as Right-Wing Extremism” which goes into the connection between cryptocurrency and far-right ideology. Here is an interview with him: https://overcast.f

Also if you use the yarn deployment plugin (forgot the name), it will create a deployment folder for you that does not contain dev dependencies. This way we found a package that was installed as a dev dependency but in reality was a regular

Exactly. Every dependency is a liability.

The problem is that most apps start out as simple CRUD apps. Also each dependency is a liability. People really underestimate how pulling in dependencies can lower your software quality. Most people have security bugs in mind, but there are

It’s not an Apple problem, it’s industry-wide. This talk [0] is a great warning about the general decline in software quality. I think we are at some sort of second software crisis. We need to get rid of the OOP and DRY mindset and build th

Highly unlikely. Apple never ever wants to be in the situation again that someone else controls their platform like Adobe and NXP did in the Mac OS 9 days.

The big problem with diversity in corporate settings is that it is often fake. It is not used to help marginalized people. It is used for internal power grabs and for “woke-washing” evil organizations. Like the “I’m a Latina with two moms”
