I realize that it is propaganda, regardless of the chosen packaging. Do you?

>"seems to be" But see, it isn't. You've got an axe to grind; I get it. I just don't care that you don't like DEI for these slippery-slope, made-up reasons you have, in your head. Learn what DEI is actually

It must be very hard for you to not have strict, rigorous standards that you can apply and adhere to so that everything can be either "right" or "wrong". Unfortunately, such is the case with social issues. Good luck on n

I've provided evidence to support the claims I made about the article. I have no particular interest in whether DEI - as implemented - is productive for academia. I do, however, have an interest in determining what is and what is not p

Babe, I live in ruby-red Texas. You're barking up the wrong tree with that "surrounded by alike-thought" nonsense. If you don't find that life has a liberal bias, then you haven't lived enough of it. And - for the r

If they did that, then even neutral organizations, like the ACLU and the National Academy of Sciences, would call out their poor practices. There are plenty of examples of that. Turns out, well-written articles get input from all interested

Wait a minute... a conservative author from a conservative organization writing in a paper with a majority-convervative base...THAT article's source study found that there was a liberal bias in COLLEGES?!!? Sorry; I know HN isn't

Yeah, but check the mastodon updates and the commits. I've run my makepad app on Windows. And you can see from his updates that he's finishing up Linux and moving on to Android, now.

Sorry if this has been said elsewhere, but - Makepad! You should check out Makepad! https://github.com/makepad/makepad It's a Rust library for developing cross-platform apps. It's not 1.0 yet; there's st

I feel this, but I think it's just a thing that programmers do. It was 10 years ago when I realized that all programming methods are about dealing with (conceptualizing/architecting) state. It made a lot of stuff "simple&quot

This is pretty neat! I went ahead and dropped in a string tokenizer that I've been working on, and it worked straight away! (link: https://www.val.town/embed/catapart.magnitTokenize ) I'm sure I'm doing i

I certainly understand not wanting them! But I also deeply understand the money that can be made from them. And if that money is going to the owner of the content, rather than some larger corporate entity giving them a small cut, I'm v

by catapart 4y ago
Yeah it's kind of strange to think about, honestly. We're so close. All the tech is there and well-understood. Yet nobody seems to have made it, yet. But I guess I should be more clear about the pitch because I know it's a li

This is inappropriate. You're not even arguing against anything I'm saying. If there is an aggregation site that lets me subscribe to blogs based on a url (i.e. not something the aggregation site controls), then I AM controlling t

I don't take issue with your assessment of what could be "healthy", but I'm talking about what people engage in. And realtime is, as you noted, behavior-altering. It engenders an "incessant need". That's r

As asked with other comments: - interactive commenting with notifications? - video ad delivery for content gating? - simple (to the point of obscuring the blogness) sign up and posting? Show me a site doing this (with rss or without) and

I'm certainly not making fun! I earnestly mean that. I write consumer apps for a living, which are used by millions of people. GenPop UX is my bread and butter. I don't have the luxury of thinking about how devs will use a product

Nah. The point, here, is those blog endpoints. That syndicates the blog to anyone with a browser. If one aggregator decides to cut you off, then your audience can always find another aggregator. Or, if you're particularly egregious, an

People keep suggesting this, so I have to assume that I might be missing something. Please understand that I'm asking this in earnest: Does this type of aggregation allow for commenting and interaction? Does this type of aggregation no

by catapart 4y ago
Don't show me an individual blog, show me that content syndicated into a feed which I can comment on, interact with, create ad-impressions for, and recieve notifications about, all without ever leaving the feed site. That's what I

Blogs aren't "realtime", so they don't solve any problems that people went to social media for. If you're serious about people "just starting blogs" you need a proof of concept that centralizes various blo

Woah! Nice find! I can't say for certain if that's it, but it certainly looks similar. Same minimalist (blank white) format, at least. That said, I never saw the site I had seen on mobile, so I don't know if it looked more li

by catapart 4y ago
Ha ha! Nice. Yeah, I saw on another comment that you're apparently running this with SSR, which is pretty crazy, to me! I'm surprised it's as snappy as it is, honestly, but the lag makes a lot of sense, now. Also shocked that

by catapart 4y ago
Yeah, it definitely feels sluggish, so I assumed it was bugging out. It started pretty snappy and then slowed way down. Ping tester says somewhere between 50 and 75ms to Amazon's Virginia center.

Just a little feedback: the typing does not keep up with me (and I only type around 80wpm), and lags so far behind that I can get around 15-20 characters in before it registers that a mistake was made 15 characters ago. I'm running it

I mean... you're eliding a lot of stuff with that "basically", but I suppose you could contrive that analogy? Geocities didn't do a "global" or "following" feed with every user's content updates

There was a short-lived site that I was presented, back in 2015, that had a similar idea. A user's 'home' page was a simple 4x4 grid and in each of the cells you could add pretty much any kind of content you wanted. Long form

This seems like a really good proof of concept to let browser vendors know they could create a super useful utility in their browsers. I mean, it's very cool all on it's own, and great job in building it! I'm just hopeful tha

Not necessarily a single big instance. Just one big implementation; that may use multiple instances under the hood. The centralization of Amazon allows it to polish up some kind of "portal" without worrying about the traffic conce
