Simulacra.js is a single function (!), not much of a library, and very far from being a framework.
Also "colpa" in Italian means guilt.
Ehhh, let's not pretend it's not a two-way street. You offer your service for free because you want people to use it.

Maybe people shouldn't expect much from free services, but free services also then shouldn't expect much from its users (i.e. that they might get angry quickly and drop their service on a whim).

> If you build your... business on shaky ground (free services) there's an inherent risk it gets pulled out from under you at any moment.

This also very much applies to Photobucket. This could very well be the thing that kills it.
Or better yet... uploading them to Amazon S3. There even exists GUI tools to do it with no technical knowledge.
Your right, it's not required.

It's still a super jerk move though. I'd complain too.

I'd also complain if I walked through a really shady part of town with expensive stuff on and got mugged though.
It even has a file storage service which actually works
It's not complexity that you take on. The React API is minimal. It's complexity that the React authors take on in order to provide a stable, cross platform, predictable component lifecycle. And if some of that complexity leaks through, or you don't like the file size of the resulting library, feel free to not use it, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that solving hard problems via sufficiently abstracted away complexity is a bad thing.

With React Native I re-use over 75% of code from the web version of my apps. An actual measurable leap in productivity. Or even just for the web version, React and other frameworks (inb4 "not a framework"), provide their own proven patterns and best practices for scaling a code base, a task that is out of scope of any DOM utility library. And if providing those patterns requires more complexity under the hood, well, you don't refuse a free Lamborghini because it's "more complex under the hood" than your current Toyota.

You've got it exactly backwards. There IS a shortage of parking in big cities. You can't make more streets. Collecting a pile of money in property taxes doesn't improve the situation.

The point here is to use money as a means to allocate a scarce resource, and to make car drivers pay the fair cost of operating their car. This will re-balance the incentive structure to push people to walk, use public transit, bike, use delivery services, etc. Covering the cost in property tax doesn't allocate the cost to people who drive.
I like the entertainment value it does for the world. In the recent years nothing was as funny to watch in the news like trump was and still is.

That Backpage's C-suite appeared in court does not somehow imply that they were willingly complicit in child abuse. However, the fact that they plead the Fifth does look pretty damning. While it can't be used against them in a court of law, the court of public opinion is a different matter entirely.
Terrible analogy.

You left your stuff on someone's lawn, they said you could do so for free, and then they started charging for the privledge.
It's actually very nice to see successful people being contrarians. What I'm sick of is elitist consensus.

There are a lot of people who don't have much voice in this society who are thinking what DHH is thinking from a different perspective.

Personally, I'm tried of competing with greedy, unprofitable VC-funded companies which are saturating the internet with their ads and financially-sponsored "thought leadership" blogs.

In the meantime, for the past 5 years I've been struggling to set up a one-person business around an open source project I created. It's a very hostile environment for a single-person business right now and greed is to blame... It's not leaving any breadcrumbs for the little people.
But the responses would be, I think.

The actual fiber is a sunk cost. It's possibly you might get a better return on that asset by leasing unused capacity even if it introduces some element of competition.

No, why would it?
Would you mind me asking what your setup is like and why doesn't it satisfy all your needs?

I get that the setup might take a while and the different systems may not place nice together although I figured something like Zapier might have made that a little bit easier?
My limited understanding trying to find out more about pozzolanic concrete (planning for my house extension in about a handful of years) is that those who study this stuff believe it stood up by itself like when used in the aqueducts with plenty of strength and durability, without constant immersion in salt water. Don't know if someone has drilled a core sample into those aqueducts to try to determine if salt water was used to mix that Roman concrete, though; would be interesting to find out.

What drew attention to it was that modern concrete immersed in seawater, even without rebar, doesn't appear to have the same durability as ancient Roman concrete. Don't know how much of this is attributable to survivorship bias, though; would be unfortunate if all this attention turns out to be over a tiny fraction of a percent of ruins that happened to survive.

1) Because investors with too much money in their pockets believe the self-driving hype.

2) Because GM (and Ford and Chrysler) has a lot more unknowns and risks given its increasingly outdated dealer-based sales channel, along with decades of pension liabilities, and is ultimately in a precarious situation, see: the near collapse of the US auto industry in 2008.

3) Maybe most importantly, investors believe that ultimately Tesla will be purchased by a big tech company with money to burn (or by a traditional automaker in full panic mode). Apple could pay _cash_ for all of Tesla's outstanding stock and still have the biggest cash stockpile of any corporation in the world.

The question for context is how this became something you want to optimise. It seems almost anything else you do with the values would cost more than the part you tried to optimise.
Right but the question is how much notice, how conspicuously. Not at all unreasonable to start charging. Seems unreasonable to me to only give one or two weeks notice, even if their terms permitted it.

Minimalist, modern web browsers exist. A good example of this is surf [0], which is based on WebKit and is <50kb of C. That's less than half the size of React source. It obviously doesn't have all the features that Firefox or Chrome might have, but demonstrates that browsers don't have to be bloated.

It's been said already, but these products were destroyed by support-forum-as-documentation. You can get a light blinking on an Arduino in five minutes. On the Edison, it took all my free time for a couple days to even figure out what pins were what. During that time, the excitement of building something more complicated on it evaporated. We are programmers, not documentation detectives on a scavenger hunt. I hope anyone who threw a bureaucratic monkey wrench into a proper documentation hub uses their unemployment to reflect.

In so far as our means for measuring particles doesn't change; namely, smashing things together at extremely high energies.

If you suppose that there are methods for measuring sub-Planck length areas then one must assume that they involve either: energies lower than those believed to be needed (which doesn't necessarily come to a solution, but pushes the problem to even higher energies and shorter lengths) OR that there is a default force that keeps space-time stable unless high energies are approached.

Note that both notions are mere speculation, the first on logic and the second on intuition about phase changes in states of matter.
You can absolutely NAT incoming packets using the NAT table. Put the rule into the PREROUTING chain and only change the port, not the dst IP. This trick is super useful for docker containers, and to allow unprivileged processes to listen on privileged ports.
It doesn't but the method they used might hurt their conversion ratio from free to paid accounts.
How would you talk to a teenager who thinks "C" grade is good enough? It's all relative. As an adult you can see the flaw in that teenager's mindset.

The beliefs behind your paradigm are important too. If you think one can achieve "growth" only by adding positive value to others, growth is not a bad thing. How is it possible to grow when there is no potential to grow? It would take some "crazies" to try to grow something that everyone else thinks this is it. We know that some people in history beat the prevailing expectations in sports, art and personal wealth.

I understand the conversation here is about when to stop or when should one realize that the idea has reached its potential?

I was at a startup pitching event where a founder was pitching a profitable "presentation software" company. The judge asked "How many billion dollar presentation software companies do you know?".

"Enough" conversation becomes important in software products because if smart people do not understand what is good, better and best they take more risks that only end up ruining the product.

Ask HN: Help us validate our idea in 5 minutes. A short poll
Hi guys,

If you own or work in a team that shares a lot of digital content, then I'd love to pick your brain.
Think marketing/sales/documentation documents.

I've created a TypeForm to try and help validate our SaaS idea.
It's a very short poll that only takes 5 minutes to complete: https://smbownerpoll.typeform.com/to/qyAyJi

Thanks in advance!

Really don't see a sensible margin that can be given back to passengers. If you make 2-3$ per seat sold, then you already double the profit by selling a coke to passengers.
I think that was sarcasm but maybe a little too dry.
I'd like to second this, as its under appreciated by the public at large. So many failed New Years resolutions for improving oneself can be pinned to this point.

Anecdotally:

I've been trying to lose some weight, and one of the first things I moved to do was drop drinking (as most resources on weight loss will tell you to do). It was very tough to do because I love my beer. I found the process was making me miserable.

Sure if I leave the beer out of the equation my calorie deficit would grow, but including some beer still keeps me at a deficit regardless so that I still am losing 2-3 lbs a week, and very much happier all the while then if I was losing more and more quickly.

edit: except for the smoking. That's a slippery slope.
What additional evidence would satisfy you? Do you require a sting operation with bodycams on a 20-something female startup founder? Is multiple testimonies and a confession not “evidence”?
You clearly have not read the article, specially this part:

The trafficker was caught and given five years in jail,
but the explicit photos of MA remained online. “I called
Backpage dozens of times asking them to take down those
photos, that my daughter was just a child and that what
had been done to her was a crime,” says Kubiiki. “They
refused and said if I didn’t pay for it, they couldn’t
take it down. In the end they just stopped returning
my calls.”
It's consistently relative, because the unit of speed we use is relative to our subjective experience. Hell, if you were American you would've given these values in miles/hr, so localised is the subjectivity of distance. Hours too are a relative measure of time (consider an alien who could live for thousands of years and how they would measure time, or a being that could travel near the speed of light).
Perhaps you're right, but it would be useful if you mentioned those other choices here.

> Certainly if there were two identical companies, and one had $10B more in cash, the one with $10B more in cash would be worth more than the other company?

Not necessarily. If shareholders believe the company with the less cash has a better future, that is if future earnings/growth expectations are higher for the company with less cash, then said company may be granted a dramatically higher market cap.

Two companies with identical balance sheets, identical growth rates, and identical net income numbers, can have radically different market caps. It depends on how shareholders regard the companies, what they think their futures look like (and sometimes it even depends just on more ridiculous things like hype / herd insanity, as eg with the dotcom bubble, in which Cisco was given an extraordinary multiple off its earnings).

Walmart's balance sheet & profit picture were far superior to Amazon's at the time when Amazon became larger than Walmart in terms of market cap. Shareholders came to believe that Amazon had a far brighter future, in regards to growth etc etc. Amazon has been granted an unusual valuation for a very long time, on the basis of expectations of future growth.
I love that stuff, but I have a hard time seeing it move beyond early adopters. I just don't think that more than 5-10% of the population wants to mess around with the guts of their tech.

Some versions of those things may go mainstream, but only after they get to the point where people don't have to do the technical and creative work (e.g., click a button and your 3D printer makes the new iPhone case you want, so you don't have to wait for it to be delivered).

The core of the problem here is the fact that prostitution is illegal. If you legalize it, you can regulate it, and take steps to prevent human trafficking and child prostitution. The vast majority of clients will happily go through the legitimate channels and buy from licensed providers. A small minority will continue to trade in children through shady services, but the smaller volume will make it much easier for law enforcement to tackle.
this is already covered in basically any AST transform systems (babylon, acorn, TS...)
I guess after a long day at work, looking at your project's code, this is a good relaxing "exercise".
Totally. I would actually be surprised if it's not the case.

I'd also expect a decent amount of what is essentially wire fraud from "startups" who never intend to ship anything.

The blockchain is a revolutionary concept, but right now it's looking like little more than a wild west of fly-by-night opportunism.

I think these guidelines are something every C programmer should atleast have read and reflected about.

I've been coding according to these guidelines for quite a while with some minor modifications:

Always use curly braces (especially when you're not alone coding in the codebase as it allows for easy modification without code ending up out of the intented scope).

80 char width; well I don't follow this one as I really do prefer long lines over broken lines for readability.

Other than that I think these guidelines are great and offer consistency and easy to read code, in my opinion.
Are there any languages where code-style is required to be a certain way? or it won't compile. I mean full authoritarian about everything, not just based around white-space like python.
> there's also no reason to condemn him for using it to live the best life he can.

Actually, there is. Simply accepting the benefits of this systemic injustice and not actively working to remove it, especially when in a position of power, is not acceptable. If you just use white privilege to live the best life you can, that is participating in the system and is not correct. You have a duty to not only disavow 'white preference' as you call it, but also remedy the inequity of your privilege, not simply use it.
