It also features many examples from pre-Colombian South American cultures

I’m running CachyOS for a year now as my daily driver (non-work) on my ancient desktop from 2019 and ancient Nvidia card. It is very fast and smooth. I mainly use it to development using LLM sidekicks and it doesn’t break sweat. I use XFCE and just love how fast the experience is.

I use CachyOS as my daily driver and I gave up on i3 after few tries. It just doesn’t work.

I’m happy with XFCE now and it is very performant.

No issues with sway here.

For a minute I thought this is an moon-shot to stop climate change by building real icebergs.

That's hilarious.

I hope a pragmatic framework like SvelteKit, Astro or TanStack replace NextJS complexity vendors soon.

React router is ... an option. but tanstack is a the most promising one to change the status quo.

With the rolldown update coming with vite 8, It is just a matter of time before next. js is forced to fix its issues

Indeed. Would you consider https://mastrojs.github.io a "pragmatic framework"?

> dang can we please get a bit better Markdown support?

Great use case for an LLM to make these changes as HN is open source. It’ll also tell us if LLMs can go beyond JS slop.

Because it's the only other browser engine that's currently available in the market.

Indeed.

It is important to try to avoid letting perfection be the enemy of good.

Firefox is at least something that is distinct from WebKit or Chromium (which is itself based on a fork of WebKit). That's good.

It's not perfect, in part because deals with Google pay for most of it, but it is still good despite its imperfect status.

Which sucks because it's not exactly fantastic as a competitor. There's still very, very noticeable performance differences and render speed/pattern differences that after you've been using a chromium based browser for a long time give firefox a feeling of being slow (it's not, it is absolutely just a perception thing, but it's enough to put you off using it)

It is a service available to Cloudflare customers and is opt-in. I fail to see how they’re being gatekeepers when site owners have option not to use it.

“You’re absolutely right!”

>They ended up with a final sample size of 813 people.

I want BlueSky to succeed but this sampling bias is simply too much to ignore.

This comment (by nunobrito) from few days ago on a similar topic is best analysis of this topic.

> These news are awfully similar to click-bait stating "the science is settled" by grouping a small set of the group and then pretending it represents the whole. The paper failed both to identify the overall number of scientists using X or the cases where multiple platforms are used (most common scenario). Therefore the paper only seems biased on its best scenario or downright propaganda at its worst. > NOSTR and Mastodon should never be left out of any serious research.

If the poll was done _properly_, that sample size is _fine_; there’ll be a decent margin of error, but not as much as you might expect. 1k people is a fairly standard size for polls, with even very high quality ones rarely doing over a few thousand.

The real consideration was whether the poll was done properly.

What is the sampling bias? You dont explain what it could be, and your quote doesn't give any clues about what the bias could be.

The article itself talks about this self-selection/sampling bias due to a minuscule sample size of 813 people. Reducing “science community” to such a small sample is not convincing.

Self-selections, sure, that's a risk with any and all surveys and questionnaires, which must be mentioned.

But 813? Why wouldn't that be enough? Basic stats puts that at a very healthy number for most questions, and the researchers don't raise any questions about bias about the number.

That would not indicate bias. It's merely beyond the reach of what was in the study.
