Actually things in Phantom are not SO different from usual world.

- You can install new version of class code. Of course, app code have to do migration by hand, but that's the case in nowadays world - if you change data file format, you have to convert.

- There's no problem to migrate object tree over the net. Even storing it to a file is not a problem.

- Persistence does not _forbid_ to restart things.

It just does not restart 'em on reboot. Eggs in your fridge are (more or less) persistent :), but you still can throw 'em away and put in fresh ones.

We're living in a persistent world and do not suffer too much from it, right? Non-persistence of software world is just innatural.

We're very used to it, and that's all.
> Anecdotally, how many sites do you find yourselves browsing daily?

That's an interesting question. If you had asked how often do you use the web my answer would be all day, every day with multiple simultaneous connections.

But browsing? One or two places mostly out of habit and even the frequency of that is declining.
Sort of a fascinating aspect of purchasing a home was realizing that within the territory of the United States, there isn't any unowned land. All land is owned by either a private entity (person or corporate) or the state or federal governments. Even the small home I was buying had a chain of custody dating back to the European conquest of America. And as consequence of that, even if you walk away from a property, the system still considers it owned by you until some positive action is taken.

It had never really occurred to me before that you can pile most of your earthly possessions up in a box somewhere with "PLEASE TAKE" stenciled sloppily on the side, but you can't really do the same with a plot of land.

The guidelines specifically call out linkbait titles: "please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait" so in the parent comments argument that the title is clickbait it certainly isn't "according to HN guidelines".

I'd be interested in what the ratio of users that only know portions of the guidelines that are often repeated in comments vs those that have actually read through the guidelines.
The current environment is nothing like the dot-com boom. The dot-com boom/bust was driven by public markets, whereas now the public markets are the ones who are filtering out the wild valuations now before it gets out of hand and throws the country into a recession like it did last time.

Yet one more example that leads the average person to feel "The system is rigged, and grossly at that." I don't even think your average person minds that much when there are insanely wealthy people who built huge, successful companies, but here is another case of someone who has destroyed billions in wealth, and is paid yet more billions for the honor. It's this "heads I win, tails you lose" system that eventually brings people to want to tear the whole thing down.

What the Nobel Prize Winners for Economics Got Wrong
I recognized quite a few, since I met several of them at the old Usenix conferences I used to attend. Dennis Ritchie, Eric Allman, Kirk McCusick, Keith Bostic. A few others. I would like to have seen the late Evi Nemeth, but she was known more for System Administration than for open source, I suppose. I also recognized Guido van Rossum and Keith Packard, again from conferences. You really get to match a name to a face at events like that.

I've found Germany is even more backwards for consumer-facing tech. I frequently have to pay with cash at businesses here, and of course make sure to always have a coin on you for the shopping cart at the grocery store! Additionally, websites for German institutions are markedly behind what I was used to in the states (e.g. elementary schools), they all still rely heavily on phone calls and letters, and I still had people giving me photos burned on CD's, or emailing them to me one photo at a time. Software/internet UX in general just seems very behind, too.

That's not to say that Germany is less advanced than the US as a whole, but when it comes to consumer-facing software stuff, it feels substantially behind.
Apparently, the site automatically redirects me to the standard German site. Fantastic. My hate for the modern web continues to grow. You could replace the protagonists of I Have No Mouth with walking, talking websites and it'd roughly mirror what I'm feeling right now. The only way I could see what everybody was talking about was by checking out https://thehistoryoftheweb.com/postscript/pizzanet/ and the archive.org page which were linked by somebody else.
I donate a lot of stuff that I get from relatives who seem to have no clue over what I like to wear.

We use trains in America? I had a similar experience in Germany with cash. Many of the cafes in Munich did not accept cards. A Finnish student I met shared awkward stories about forgetting to carry cash. I had to walk across the Munich airport to find an ATM to pay my expensive cab with cash. His credit card app could not connect to its services.

How did you not find an automated kiosk to by a train ticket or pass? Many of these even have the same tap to pay that you are familiar with in Australia.

Since moving back to the states from China 3 years ago, I’ve gone to the ATM twice, and I no longer have to fumble with a phone to align QR codes. To each their own, I guess.
That error message is annoyingly weird but is more to do with tryhaskell.org than haskell itself. Lots of programming languages which have a strict type system (eg Rust) deliberately choose not to coerce types even when a type conversion would mostly work so the developer chooses the set of types that get used.

GHC is a little better.

Is there anything more you've published on the membership system, particularly as it relates to developers?

I often feel like what I need most is an identity system for my users that's nicely coupled to a billing and CMS system, and the CMS providers seem like the ones best equipped to offer that (eg Identity/signin/authorization is really the core poorly addressed problem today).

Shopify has commerce and blogging but wants $10K/yr to let me sign users into my site with user accounts. 8base is doing lots right but hasn't figured out their pricing model ($10/GB/mo for file storage? 500x their cost of goods at S3? What other ways are they planning on reaming me on pricing?). NestJS has all the building blocks but it's just parts. Amplify's integration of AppSync and Cognito is great but billing integration seems surprisingly weak. There are so many who could/should be offering this, but each I dig into just doesn't quite do it.

I'm so hoping I can think about your membership system as a way for me to build sites where my users can easily sign in once to all the site's functionality and commerce without me having to build/maintain/secure my own identity security code.

I get that you're principally a publishing platform, but as you hint at in your posts identity/authorization and billing are key tasks for standing up most any commercial efforts.

To be fair, most asked questions about Haskell that people always have is if Haskell is so good and not just purely for academics then where is Haskell used in industry? Or is there really huge and complex software projects written in Haskell?
That's still very confusing.

Surplus sounds like anything beyond hosting costs to run the service, but the hosting costs is likely no where near 5 million dollars so a majority of it is surplus.

Does that mean no one gets a salary or is a salary part of the costs to run the business instead of being a "member"? If salaries are included who dictates what the income tax exempt salary is?

I'm not trolling either. What you're describing sounds like a way to run a business where you can avoid paying income tax while still getting a salary because realistically I doubt the creator of Ghost is living in a homeless shelter and working off public library computers.
What do you think of Fuchsia?
I used to use Postmark but switched to Mailgun. I'm very happy. What would you say is the benefit of Postmark compared to Mailgun?
> In [1], they seem to conclude that it is indeed 50%-50% for most particles, so it would mean that switching to an electric car only halves the emitted particles

That isn’t correct, because electric cars mostly use regenerative braking which eliminates brake emissions. Also, this is only for particulates, NOx also emissions are totally eliminated by the switch.
But it seems obvious that it can't be exhaustive. It's clearly a photo shoot. And it's on-going (you can subscribe to it).

I'd rather people learn to think critically instead of getting worked up that every exception wasn't enumerated in the tagline.

Not to get too bogged down with details, but this winter she is looking to change EMR systems. The current one is the most expensive/established EMR for her field.

Haven't looked at Ghost in a while. The subscription system looks neat. I'd recently considered launching an indie game development site for a very niche style of gaming (audio-only) that could probably benefit from a Patreon-style model, but my margins would be so low that the Patreon cut would be hefty for little to no network effect benefit, and I know better than to try rolling my own.

Is there any mechanism for both subscription tiers and pay-what-you-want? So maybe I had a $5 tier and a $10 tier, and if someone wanted to pay $7 then they could and get the $5 benefits?

I'll research this myself when the 3.0 Docker image becomes available, but thought I'd ask first. Not even sure if Stripe supports that functionality, or if it does, how hard it'd be for me to add and contribute back.

Thanks for making Ghost.

He never released anything that was damaging to a specific individual and actually resulted in harm to that person. His filtering is done by the amount of material he gets and what he chooses to release.
Well, that's how people used to get magazines and newspapers for the most part. They bought an individual subscription.

That said, it's hard to see many people paying for a lot of individual subscriptions outside of mostly global brands like The Economist. On the other hand, we haven't seen aggregation that works from both the perspective of readers and publishers.
`git rebase` is fairly useful when differences are small. Rebase changes the history of your own commits. When that history is long (you've got a lot of commits that are not in the other branch), you'll end up resolving the same conflicts over and over and over again, and in that case, a simple merge is much less painful.

The only real advantage of rebasing is that it keeps your history linear. A history with merges is harder to navigate. But at some point, merges become unavoidable, and the larger the differences are, the more important it becomes to use merge instead of rebase.

And as any time traveler knows, changing history comes with risks.

I considered Hasura but went with postgraphile (https://github.com/graphile/postgraphile) because it's written in JavaScript with a plugin architecture, meaning I can easily add my own plugins into the system down the road. Creating a JavaScript plugin sounds much less daunting that looking into a mature Haskell codebase.

Or just actively punishing Firefox because blocking tracking is also blocking ads, which is their revenue model. Why spend money optimizing for a browser that doesn't generate revenue?

If Firefox becomes the bastion of privacy sensitive people it will become more and more like Tor users, all tainted with the same labels. I mean it's already the case that recaptcha will more likely trigger on Firefox than Chrome, asking for multiple rounds of checks. Like visitors existing Tor exit nodes, in a bit less worse.
They really ought to, when possible. I can't count the number of times I've encountered a new word that I could trace back to a basic Latin root. I feel like it gives you a good foundation for any romance language and goes hand in hand with the history of western civilization.
Not that it really feels like old Soviet (I was born in really "Old Soviet" one), but it surely has a bad PR taste targeted on "influencers", VC media and fellow bureaucrats from other countries (like they constantly trying to win some bureaucratic Oscar or something), instead of entrepreneurs, and all of that have become very irritating in the last couple of years.

Diesels from 2009 produce 5-10x higher emissions than the regulatory limits when used in real world conditions. Even diesels built this year vastly exceed the required emissions. They actually had to include a fudge factor which they’re slowly decreasing because diesels were so much worse than they were supposed to be.

Same thing in Germany, I've been surprised at how much reluctance there is to use email or websites for things, instead relying on physical mail or phone calls.

Elementary school wants to communicate about some appointment? Do they use the email from us they already have? Haha no, of course they send a letter (that arrives the day of the appointment, natch), and then later call us to complain that we didn't show. And their website looks like it was designed by an intern in 2006, and is virtually never used to communicate useful information throughout the year.

The current elementary school we have does use email...but much of the content they send actually comes in a PDF instead of the email itself, and not the type of with actual text, it's just a bitmap, so to translate we type shit in manually into Deepl (or use OCR for the longer things).

Want to re-up your alditalk account without going to the store? Want to use a credit card, or even Germany-specific debit card? Nope, you tell us your address and we'll send you a letter, which you can then use to authenticate your bank account for transfers. I guess they're worried about...people paying for my phone service on my behalf?
This is a first version. We're certainly planning to add more payment options, including decentralised ones

Yeah, I recall meeting a US guy in Nepal high on Annapurna circuit trek (meaning the person was not as close-minded as many that didn't travel much, he did intensively over whole world before) around 2008, he was praising US invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan stating something about how local population would make great christians. He was a Texan and big supporter of GW Bush. That left me speechless for a while.

The call for external fine grained merchant analysis as a productive way to solve the problems of commingling is inconsistent with holding Amazon accountable. It is consistent with the view that Amazon is not responsible for what it ships from its warehouses. "Amazon is just a logistics platform" is bullshit.
Say you're a national logistics firm. Your fleet is 60% compliant with the ULEZ rules. ULEZ comes in, and now your London deliveries are affected by this annoying payment, which is a cost to the business seemingly at random.

Big boss comes down. We floated telling London businesses this is a cost we're passing on. Every single one laughed and said they'd move to our competitors if we send a new contract through with increased prices. I'm supposed to deliver Q3 growth figures, "half our bloody London customers walked" is not growth. So, make a pool of vehicles that are compliant and make sure every London delivery uses that pool of vehicles.

Bingo, the eight year old truck that was scheduled to go to Charing Cross tomorrow is now headed to Derby and a six month old truck goes to Charing Cross. It's not a _lot_ but added up across the whole of the ULEZ it makes a difference.

The intermediary language is not English, but due to the way the training set is constructed (pairs of texts in various languages, with the vast majority of pairs having English as one of the languages, is my understanding) it can be very hard to tell apart from English sometimes.

For example, translating "рубанок" ("plane", in the sense of the carpenter's tool) from Russian to Polish used to produce "samolot" ("airplane") in Google translate up until sometime earlier this year, because in the intermediate representation "plane" was ambiguous just like it is in English. It looks like that particular bit is fixed now, which is at least progress! Maybe they've been adding more non-English text pairs...
