Just what the world needed. Another annoying device out in the sky to fly over your fence, in your yard, in the park, cinemas, public places, restaurants, concerts, at the beach or...in your face.

Before clicking the link I knew "Mr. Rust's Wild Ride" will be waiting for me on that article. Welcome to the hype train, 3rd edition: Ruby -> Node -> Rust. Everything else is just, well, inferior and I'm going to bash its brains out. Needs some "Rust" in the title.

Why companies move on to Heroku should be the question. All raised issues are there since Heroku.

Woowoo shit that is totally unfit for a HN front page. "Physician Lanza is the new Deepak Chopra" they say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27ZnxgOIqX8 When in doubt just specify the word "quantum" or...put "written in Rust" in the title.

Yes. Typely [1]. Made it to aid in writing better articles for myself and some employees at the time. Decided to put it up there after a while and is now being used in many schools around the world. This is the only one that was made for me initially - I have a lot of other projects but they are made for aiding my businesses or to try new ideas.

The terminal is where I input my ssh passwords, my sudo passwords, crypto stuff, ssh keys and much more sensitive data. The fact that you even considered collecting stuff from me while using it is insane. I don't trust your promise to never "sell my data" and I don't trust that the next one which will buy your company when you decide to "exit" will do the same (I will when it's fully open source but that's not the case is it?). We shouldn't be talking about telemetry and data collected on a terminal to begin with.

Good luck with your product but HN does take privacy somewhat serious, I know I do.

Another one riding the "Rust-based" horse.

What do you mean it's not a competition? They are fighting for your AppStore, for the same spot, for your attention. Sublime has pricing, Microsoft has...other interests. I would have loved for Sublime to win here but it lost. Sure there are still users of it but let's not debate here. All youtube videos and pictures I see lately from programmers are using VsCode. In fact, I haven't seen a single Sublime open in a video tutorial for over 2-3 years now. It's not even funny. Speed is important but not when we talk about a second (I'm generous here).

Sublime got completely destroyed in a single year by...an electron app (VSCODE). Chew on that. While at it I'm going to let you know why: features, open platform, plugins, ecosystem and integration. I've been a Sublime user and now I don't even have it installed any more. They share the same fate with TextMate.

Sad news. Elementary is the only distro with a decent UI.

Toilet paper monitors. Can't be serious with that. Here's a good one: https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-ultrasharp-40-curv...

Romania and Poland would be the first hits. You're last.

This guy. Has it all sorted out. We're just a bunch of headless chicken running around with an admin to manage our business. Meanwhile, he's all bare hands, manipulating the shell, showing the snowflakes how it's done, telling his non-technical co-founders to learn the models, bash, sql and a god-dam shell. Such an inspiration, much envy, so wow!

I only use Django because of the admin.

What's modern about that house? Ridiculous amount of electricity required, flat roof in an area where snow is expected for a big portion of the year, heated outside pool, very remote but VERY dependant on electricity, internet and TV must be fun. It all starts kicking in pretty fast once you move in and realise your kids grow up alone because there's nobody in their age group for miles, no days when you feel like doing nothing (especially in the winter), no way your kids can play outside (in the wilderness) unsupervised, no way can they play outside when it's darker - so many WTF's and ifs there.

That's something I would build when I retire and grow sick of the world. Even asylums can be "modern" I'll give you that.

fake your browser header to a chrome variant.

Golden...for their AMP!

I had commented before the other week so I'm gonna quote myself from now whenever I see NFT:

> I see a whole new wave of fouls about to lose their money to ponzi schemes and over-hyped "investments", much like it happened with the bitcoin/crypto train.

What do you see? I've just had a 2 hour conversation with someone trying to get me into this "business" without being able to articulate a single use case where NFTs actually make my day better in a way that is not currently possible with other tech so, yeah...what do you see?

I see a whole new wave of fouls about to lose their money to ponzi schemes and over-hyped "investments", much like it happened with the bitcoin/crypto train.

Just write NFT or crypto in Youtube and you immediately see all the sharks promising you millions in their videos, trying to manipulate you into investing - don't read the comments though, it's even worse. I see a lot of red flags and trouble for nothing. I hold crypto assets so I'm not talking out of my but here - I must confess; I've had no real benefits yet from this new tech. The crypto I hold is because one of my products has crypto as a payment method so I decided to just hold a piece of it and try to make use of "new tech".

I just hit the back button when I encounter such a website hosted by Cloudflare this way.

Very nice. I just can't trust FB with my children's time/attention.

Oh yes you can, without much technical difficulties, easier than you would in the 90s actually [1][2]. Does it work as you would expect? Probably not because gmail and other ones are blocking/ghosting you (I suspect this to be the issue right?). Nobody is forcing people towards gmail though. I am one that is scared of being locked out by giants like Google and I switched everything (website logins + mail) to something else (my domain email, managed by protonmail). The transition was seamless and I control my mail with my domain right now. I can migrate at will any time I want.

Mailservers not running from your house is not really all that bad...for the rest of us. Imagine all the spammy software that your friends and relatives install on their computer being able to spin one and blast campaigns.

What were you able to do in the 90s that you cannot do now on the web? I do not subscribe to this mumbo jumbo about gatekeepers, data stealing, centralised internet etc. While true, you are literally free to use any service you like, nobody is forcing you to spend your dollar here or there.

Good products are usually driven by commercial entities. I would love to use something else besides Android or iOS that is not backed by a commercial giant, which WORKS, is not full of spyware and has a healthy ecosystem but nobody is making one, nobody is able to put 2 and 2 together there.

Are the products you buy online going to physically move differently when you use the "decentralised" internet? Are the small businesses going to revive because of that? AMZN did not kill them, the consumer did. It's the consumer that spends the dollar and dictates such outcomes - none of which are going to be fixed by Web 3. For me, the centralisation that amazon provides is a feature, not a bug. You will not kill AMZN until you understand why it works the way it does and start competing with them. Don't tell me it can't be done because AliExpress is giggling in the background.

I have a few friends doing a fortune on AMZN without even seeing the products they sell (FBA). Adapt or die, it's just nature.

Cool project. Any ideas how much it would cost?

Switch browsers then, you have alternatives. Nothing wrong with what they do, this is not the way to appreciate free stuff. We're not in 2003 when IE was your only tool.

Are we offended by too many options now? I want a rendering engine with adblocker and a mail client blended in. Most of my time is spent in a browser when I'm online so, for me, it makes sense for my browser to be as capable as it can.

i get only spam websites, that redirect to Aliexpress, in top positions lately

Too bad it looks like a fridge and has a motor that consumes and pollutes a lot. Will make a great car for serious off-roaders and full time mommies picking up children from school no doubt.

I think Flutter is going into the right direction. I developed some apps with it, it has rough edges but it gets you there. Dart is ok language, no issues for me going with it.

My only complaints are as follows:

- the dart formatter which is a cancer that wants to do things in only one way. The forced 2px indentation for example is unbearable for me. The maintainers are close-minded and refuse to understand that some people cannot operate with 2px indents. They will even delete your issues/comments at this point.

- Flutter is backed by Google which likes to anihilate, sometimes without warning, projects that don't go as planned. It is open source but still, without Google backing it, it would have never left the ground maybe.

Your comment makes a lot of sense and is full of insight. I like it when people put a lot of valid reasons into their claims like that.

This si literally why docker exists. I would never install something on a system and then complain it is being updated from time to time. The system needs to stay safe and follow a path of updates in order to cover vulnerabilities and such. Put it in docker and version lock it.
