It still works...

It's not the ability that's missing; it's those days.

Yeah, these days if you aren't treating even the smallest of small projects that do something like "query database spit out report" as if they are major IT infrstructure projects, complete with designers, UX specialists, and accessbility experts that never talked to a disabled person to find out what they actually need, spin up 375 ec2 instances, use 19 different database systems, and send the logs to a third party, then you're literally the worst person possible, or so I've been told.

It's like, my dude last week this was an excel spreadsheet.

Wow the people in this thread are a huge bummer. This is much cooler and I doubt this is a real safety issue. You can already sign up for a free cloudflare account and deploy it for free, on your own, on a free workers.dev domain. The friction removal here isn't going to meaningfully change the security / amount of malicious content.

When you see a group of people being critical, you can either see it as a “bummer”, or you can see it as people critically thinking about a thing. Is it really more useful to have everyone expressing how much they like something instead of identifying problems? Is seeing people talking about the things they don’t like something that makes you unhappy? Why?

> Is seeing people talking about the things they don’t like something that makes you unhappy? Why?

Probably (I'm just assuming) because that person observes negative/cautious/"I don't like this because X and Y and also Z"/etc sentiment too much and feels like people are only quick to notice issues while forgetting about good sides.

It's only an assumption, though.

Its not exactly a very elaborate name.

Elaborate enough? Funny story: I used to work for a startup which had a trademark on "Airdrop". When Apple announced that feature, it took everyone there by surprise. Ended up reaching out and selling it to them for a buck or two in favor of maintaining goodwill.

Ha, that's funny. When you say "a buck or two" do you really mean it was almost nothing or did Apple compensate you appropriately? I'm also surprised that Apple didn't catch that before if it was trademarked.

I think the HN rule for "curmudgeonly" applies.

I think HN should be a place where I am excited to see what others have to add. When I see a post I am excited to see what takes and spins others have on it. I do want real criticism and a lively debate about important things, but there has to be a balance.

I want to see other comments that seem like they genuinely want to help steer something or build people up. Sometimes I get the impression that's not happening on HN.

I think they are all bots or threatened to see their little hobby now being accessible, classic gatekeeping.

Hi! I have been following n-gate.com a small bit over the years, because I found it very interesting and it was a rabbit hole I wanted to go down.

I actually setup "xor-gate" for a while, which was trying to be a similar thing co-authored by a friend, but it was too time consuming and we gave up.

Did the author pass? I'm not trying to be crass, but I don't know the details.

Desktop operating systems should be able to run zipped web apps the way Electron apps run today. It ought to just be part of the OS.

Adobe Air, for the obscure nostalgia bomb

I was going to mention Microsoft Active Desktop in the original comment, but I didn’t want HN to know how old I am.

Infatrode, wtf is Infatrode (I might be butchering it, course it is an Office Space reference) He was my absolute favorite character in that show.

I think it was Initrode. I used to watch it every day haha

They intentionally butchered it I think but it still cracked me up
