it’s a distributed personal content addressed blob object store, with a variety of configurable storage back ends, plus a web interface to make that kind of usable to a human for human things. it’s like git but for all your stuff. why would

I was shadowbanned by dang for expressing disappointment in some HN commenter's defense of coronavirus conspiracy videos. I really wish there were a way to delete my account and all my posts, but this is apparently the best they can do

I forgot to mention the myriad ways that flash would interact with the browser and the operating system, with swfs often designed to interact with browser javascript in particular, in platform and browser specific ways. the various network

I spent a bit of time trying to figure out why previous reimplementation efforts didn't get anywhere. Here's where they get stuck swf format: 100% implemented Tamarind AS3 VM: Open sourced by adobe. AS1, AS2, AS3: Not technically

The worst part of that preservation problem is, that as a DRM measure, some games will "phone home" to download a swf component that implements some critical path of the game. If the server goes down, those games are dead in the w

if there were a way to delete all my posts and my account I would do that. the hacker news community has become thoroughly disappointing to me and I retroactively want all my contributions withdrawn. i want nothing to do with it.

Forgivable for a child, perhaps. but not for a president, or a ceo, or startup founder.

in my non expert impression from reading a lot on the topic, in the grand scheme of pollution and environmental problems, waste paper ranks very very low on the list of problems we should be worried about. That said, I always liked the idea

Well obviously nothing is impossible , but this sorta work is about as close to literally rocket surgery as you can get. Software: difficult, hardware: difficult, thousands of dollars of specialist equipment, and the steady hands of a surg

i would have thought miniaturisation would make this basically impossible without thousands of dollars of specialist equipment. I’ve never known a mac repair shop to do anything other than replace the whole bosrd. the thing is smaller than

pretty hard to educate people when the tools for distinguishing between bullocks and expwrt opinion are discredited by 1000 yourube videos.

you know what else tanks the economy? lots of people dying.

by all means inject yourself with bleach as your “expert” suggests but don’t pretend that people deciding to spread covid19 around because they believe it’s caused from miasmas are only hurting themselves.

welcome to the list of hacker news commenters I am extremely disappointed in then. I cannot logically argue you into caring about human life. though personally i don’t think conspiracy theory videos and slippery slope arguments are more imp

yes that’s why I am mocking the folks who think people dying is fine, and “freedom of speech” is more important.

Really disappointed in hacker news today. Children all of you, crying for the right to scream "fire" in a crowded theater.

What would be nice is if there was something like a standard test or demo set of HTML for all these to work against, which would enable a way to switch themes.

So, how many deaths are you willing to be responsible for? make sure to scale it up to youtube size.

the one positive thing about table based design, is you could code a module, and just echo it out anywhere you wanted it with say, php or coldfusion, and it would mostly just work. transplanting a chunk of semantic html to a site with a dif

all I said was that scoping is an easier mental model than specificity. i am not saying that is a bad thing. but i can see how it would seem that way since a lot of programmers, whether they realise it or not, aggressively look down on thin

then why is BEM more complex than just plain CSS? if the idea is to reduce complexity, that’s a giant fail.
27.
by ZenPsycho 6y ago
look, i love CSS. Not dumping on it. but you have a bit of stockholme syndrome going on here. sometimes loving something means realistically looking at its flaws and limitations. and you seem to have a distorted view of history, and what a

“float” and “normal” (what?) aren’t layout modes. the rest didn’t exist in css until relatively recently. postion: relative exists, yes, but it doesn’t do what you say it does. - it sets the top, left, bottom and right properties to be rela

you’re kind of missing my point. which is fine because i didn’t spend a whole lot of words explaining it. i am not saying table based design is bad . but we did originally move away from it for legitimate reasons that seem to have been lar

there’s using it deliberately as a tool, and running into it unexpectedly and doing absurd things to work around it like it’s an obstacle to overcome. i see much more of the latter than the former; squarely i think because most css is writt
