I already responded to your shop analogy in another comment, so I won't do that here. But - > Or is your objection just to the Javascript? If I "violate their privacy" by analysing server logs it's OK, but adding java

When I hit <enter> in a URL bar, or click on a link to a webpage, or fill out a form on the web, I know that I'm sending a request to a server. That's why I'm taking that action in the first place . But if you send me

Or, we could stop sending people programs to track themselves on their own computers. Just use your server logs. I don't care how much of an inconvenience it is, you should never have started doing any client-side tracking in the first

I'm excited for names.sr.ht! Relatedly, a long time ago on an early lobste.rs post [1] about sourcehut, it was mentioned that it'd be sweet to point one's own domain at sourcehut to be able to host your stuff under your own d

On the topic of crowdsourcing prior art, I found something interesting from googling around a bit that I wonder if anyone here might know anything about: https://www.uspto.gov/page/roundtable-uspto-use-crowdsourcin...

Immutability on ipfs just means a given address will always point to the same content. It doesn't mean that content is or will always be available. Nodes who host harmful content are responsible for hosting it whether it's on a pe

Good call! Also Julia, Typescript, and ReasonML now that I'm thinking about it.

Congratulations Nim team! :D I've had Nim installed on my laptop for a long time and I've always enjoyed tinkering around with it over the years. Maybe now it's time to find a bigger project to try it out on. This is a tiny t

In case you haven't heard of it, you should check out Pony ( https://www.ponylang.io/ ). It's definitely got its own flair, but characteristically it's a lot like what you describe.

That makes sense. Sure, I'd definitely be up for trying to write a patch for it. I'll pull down the repo this evening!

Hmmm oh I suppose if I just exposed my feed reader's aggregated feed as an rss feed over a local http server, I could just point Openring at that! I might try to whip that together this afternoon! (I use newsboat in case anyone else is

by nathcd 7y ago
Very cool! Since I already have my feeds sitting locally in my feed reader's db, it'd be cool if I could just pipe that out to Openring somehow.

I use HNES, but the only feature in it I care about is tagging users. I very much wish I could turn off all of the other features, especially its custom styles. If you were to add the ability to tag users to RHN, I'd be one happy campe

Indeed. I'm reminded of http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html . I think it's just easy to have an opinion on syntax. I think this also highlights the pitfalls of being community-centric. If Rust were run more lik

Also, now that I'm thinking about it, I feel like tree style comment layouts are showing their age as well. I wonder if something like Zulip's layout could work in a more forum-y type of setting.

This reminds me of a thought I've had recently. It'd be interesting to have an anonymous forum like 4chan but with the strong moderation/guidelines of HN or /r/askhistorians.

I realized the other day that the V author is the same person that created gitly, which was a really nice looking git forge [1]. I believe the author's stated plan was to open source it, but the website went offline after some time wit
