Sounds like we should have globally unique human-enterable identifiers governed by an ISO..

Why on earth do they not have GUIDs for these navigation points if the names are not globally unique and inter-region routes are commonplace?

Ooh I mean cloudflare I'm sure is good but do we really want to give them control over all our boutique domains _as well_?

web proxies aren't traditional proxies. They have a web interface and issue requests on behalf of the user server side, so all of the user's data flows through the user interface and the server side in plain text (though protected

web proxies completely bypass any protection offered by HTTPS as they act as a true man-in-the-middle and place requests on behalf of the user. Unlike traditional proxies, web proxies are entirely web based and use a web interface so litera

Being a FANG sort of removes the "cool" factor that lets a NEW social network really take off imo. Sure they have tons of users and resources so they can actually get off the ground, but then they stagnate, like we're current

Don't forget that historically, a "half-measure" a lot of people used to use to get around regional blocking was "web proxies" like those linked to by proxy.org. I used to operate one as a young teen and I will say

True, but the problem right now is apps doing this on HR departments' behalf. If you make the site robustly immune to scraping and bots and take active steps to disable such apps (LinkedIn, if anything, probably sees the existence of t

More crucially, HR managers at a lot of startups now have apps that will notify them if you change basically _anything_ on your LinkedIn. I have a friend who took a part-time "CTO" position that was basically a very small startup

What's funny about it though is as an English speaker who knows no Japanese but often enjoys reading subtitles, I'd much rather see the weird literal translation so I know "oh, this is some cool idiom in Japanese" rather

At this point, I think there is sufficient motivation (dramatically high training costs) that we could see major algorithmic, architectural, and/or training methodology improvements at the code level that make these sorts of things pos

Everything has been downhill since they let people upload custom thumbnails honestly. That shit should pick a random frame from the video and attempts to game that (like re-uploading 1000 times until it happens to select the portion of the

And turbolinks on modern rails apps literally feels like those fancy JS-ey UIs anyway in terms of responsiveness. Not to mention things like phoenix liveview..

Yeah, I've witnessed the entire arc also as an ex-ex-ex PHP developer from the early 00s, and I literally recall the original justification for this whole exodus that lead to the creation of React and a slew of other things was "j

At minimum you need a breeding pair to keep the population going. That's a whole lot less than 1200, so from that macro perspective, I'd say it's fairly hard to wipe most things out, especially the things that have made it th

I personally convinced Microsoft to rename GVFS a few years ago (because same name as a GNU project) using similar tactics, just because I thought it would be funny. All it took was front page of HN, a few reddit re-posts, and Slashdot, all

The real reason python won in my opinion is it has been a default install on most linux distros for decades. A ton of the groundbreaking ML research (especially in the 2000s and 2010s) was done in government labs and DoD settings where it i

Why do I feel like all of these examples are extremely difficult to navigate and just bad for UX reasons? _cries in early 2010s designs_ Like I don't want one giant page with scrolling-bound effects. Just give me the damn content.
