I can totally see why. Stripe’s docs are really the best I’ve seen. Not only are the docs good but the API is very logical and well made, definitely much better than their competitors like Authorize.Net.

> I think in my projects, the TypeScript compilation is what takes the longest, so although I use parcel and it's pretty fast, I still have to wait 1-2 seconds for TypeScript to compile changes.

The build result doesn’t need to wait on the results of the type checking. TypeScript or Babel transpiling can happen even if there is a type error.

> If it does not bundle, and still uses all the external transformers (TypeScript, Babel, etc.), what exactly does it do? Does it somehow optimize the execution of those transformers/transpilers?

It skips the bundling step, and does aggressive caching.
That's totally wrong. It's not OK to add ratios. It's OK to add populations.

You can't add 1/3 and 1/3 to get 2/6 if the first 1/3 was reduced from 3 of 9 and th second was 1/3. Well, you can, but that only works in the degenerate case where the items you add (actually, average) are equal and there's no point in adding in the first place.
If I buy a tomato, and throw it in my garden, eating none of it, most people would say I wasted the tomato.

There are far cheaper methods of fertilizing my garden than tossing food into it, which makes it "wasteful".

At a certain point you have to pick a definition of what counts as food waste, and stick with it. Fiddling with the definition isn't going to make the world a better place.
Totally agree! Still quite some work ahead of us (We're about 3 months from first line of code).

Ideally the help docs can be opened as its own vault and can be a nice testing ground for a new user to play around with the functionality.

I'm working on a webring type project right now, with a central site that pulls in RSS feeds of all the ring members to create a central news feed (HN style interface), to help with discoverability too.

You add the webring to your site, allowing your visitors to discover more sites you specifically like, then you can opt-in to have your RSS feed fed back to the main site.

Correct. His implication that this somehow makes the voting process less valid is 100% wrong. It in fact makes the voting process more inclusive. But it is wrong to say there are no movements to teach people how to vote and to make voting easier explicitly with the belief that a more inclusive voting populace will vote trump out.
There is also Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/), which is open source and has multiple Apps available (including mobile). I don’t think it uses plain markdown files as the primary data store, but notes are written in it and they can be exported as Markdown files.
Isn't that a potential information leak, though? A potential black-hat attacker could sit around and brainstorm a big list of potential vulnerabilities without going through to figure out if they exist and are exploitable. Then they can start submitting them, and if they get closed as duplicate, they can quickly dive into that one, figure out how to exploit it, and make use of it for nefarious purposes.

Maybe that's a little farfetched, though.

I do run TypeScript async with Parcel, but I still wait for it to finish before I start working on a different task as I do want to know if I have any TS errors before proceeding.

> It doesn’t optimize the transformers/transpilers; but it does only run them against the modules that have changed.

But isn't this how other bundlers work too? They cache results and only run transformers on the changed files?

They're actual ES modules (so with the `export` syntax on their end, allowing `import` with `<script type="module">` in compliant browsers).

Most NPM modules aren't ESM and aren't usable in that way. This allows it, it's a really good thing! Hopefully pushes things towards much wider usage of modules in the browser, which would make a life a bit more sane in FE world.

On the chance that the authors are here: on https://htmx.org/docs , there is a link "original web programming model" where the target is (for some reason) surrounded by parentheses, so that it points to the wrong location.
Guys, check out https://github.com/deepstreamIO - open source MIT - I've been a long time user and it works great. It's a typescript code base, very readable and straight forward, uses protocol buffers for messaging and uWebSockets.js for the websocket server (ultra fast).
You get realtime records, pub/sub, events, rpc, fine grained permissions, http endpoints and basically you can hook up to any backend (currently there are connectors for postgres, rethinkdb, elastic and others).

We need more people to use it, cause the original developer is going on maintenance mode and we're trying to strengthen the community. It rocks!

There are other things I consider when shopping, too, that pickers don't.

I try to pick fruits and vegetables at various levels of ripeness, so that I can have ripe produce throughout the week at home.

I don't want only green bananas or only super ripe ones; I need some ripe ones for today, and then some greener ones for later in the week.
I'd love to say I've had the same experience, but unfortunately that isn't the case. I'm on my fourth Pixel 3 because of hardware issues (the first time it was my fault, all the other ones not really). My previous Pixel 2 worked flawlessly for two years. I'm starting to think of going back to Samsung after this experience.

Which is a shame, because I do love how unencumbered with bullshit features and spamware the phones are.
That he has a tiny number of twitter fans--too tiny to build a platform on.

He uses twitter because the influencers are on twitter. There's a reason he posts there instead of on his campaign website.

Wow – I haven't thought about Peapod in years! I didn't even know they were still around.

I remember their trucks in the 90s or early Aughts. I think they only delivered Stop & Shop at that point (in my area), because they're owned by the same parent company.
Also, I'm annoyed that this labels itself as supporting Markdown, but apparently can't actually handle actual proper Markdown links between files.

This is kind of a sticking point for me, because one app after another has gotten this wrong (see Ulysses' bizarro link editing, for example), and I'm just not going to use an app if it wants to make me convert all my files to a proprietary version of the syntax.
we call that "quadratic". exponential is when the exponent is variable. (unless I'm being whooshed)

These projects continue to exist because no company has felt it's in their interest to bring suit, I guess. This is the type of thing that companies like to keep quiet, and if something like uBlock Origin isn't a pervasive threat, they won't risk publicizing and potentially losing the loophole. In particular it would be dumb to sue the EFF for Privacy Badger, since part of the reason the EFF exists is to fight such things in court.

Look up the "RAM Copy Doctrine". Basically, it means that every time data is copied within the computer's memory, it's a potential infringement. The HTML source of the page you've downloaded undoubtedly qualifies for copyright protection. Your argument would be an implied license to modify the page to make it suitable for display, but standard ToS will typically forbid any type of modification, removing any ambiguity into whether third-party extensions that modify the page may have an implied license. Your license would typically be limited to displaying the page as transmitted, and allowing an extension to read and modify the page would be an infringement.

I'm not a lawyer but I had a neat little SaaS business that was killed by a C&D along these same lines. Multiple attorneys reviewed and this is basically the summary. When I suggested that we do a peer-to-peer data transmission thing to avoid handling or transmitting any copyrighted content, I was warned that doing so could easily be interpreted as conspiracy and that it'd be best not to go down that route. Maybe someone else's attorney would say something different, but that's what mine told me.
The previous similar happening is documented at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/750_GeV_diphoton_excess.
Great idea! I have to admit the UI reminded me of what I do presently -- VSCode + notes in a folder in Markdown. I'll take it for a test-drive and see how it compares to VSCode + git. If it speeds things up, I'll be a buyer!

Bear in mind that what it looks like you're competing directly against is an editor (VSCode) + versioning (Git) + sync (GoogleDrive/OneDrive). That's probably a harder sell to a techy individual since those are all free (or already subscribed to) but if you make the editing and management process better, seamless, hassle-free, I'd buy the editor (like pyCharm, goLand, Sublime or Linqpad).

happy to answer questions
No, I understand that basic premise, it's what I did too, it's just, well this is an old outstanding complaint I've had about Twitter and not so much Twitter RSS, and really the main reason I don't consistently use it anymore. Every now and then I re-install Tweetbot on my phone, create a new account, carefully curate a list of Accounts to follow based off whatever I'm thinking Twitter might be useful for this time.

I personally think it's really cool that I can follow people I respect and see a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, but inevitably some stupid controversy erupts and all of them have to get their opinion in on the subject.

The other problem I have is that generally, people tweet too much. It is too easy to compose a tweet and fire it off into the void and and while they're at it, about five or six retweets. RSS didn't improve this for me, I look for ways to make Twitter work for me, and it's just unworkable. The one time the list of accounts I came up with was political (that is to say rather than being constantly exposed to the abhorrent politics of people I otherwise respect for other reasons, I picked people who I respected in the field of politics), it was still an irredeemable crapshoot.

If Twitter works for you, I have no doubt Twitter RSS can also work for you, but Twitter doesn't work for me. Too much noise, not enough signal. Same with any kind of firehose feed, I think I even followed an HN firehose feed at one point six or seven years ago which just overwhelmed my reader within a week. I mean if you tried following Tumblogs as I did at one point in my youth, I tried to treat them like blogs, but what I didn't realize was that nobody was really interested in using Tumblr like a blogging platform. Your typical user that posted at all, was generally going through their feed and reblogging whatever they liked, and they'd do this 30 or 40 or 50 reblogs at a time. It was asinine, I gave it the old college try because a few of my friends really seemed to like it and I wanted to see what they saw, and it was just asinine.

Anyway it sounds like you're still using Twitter RSS, and, I mean this sincerely, kudos to Twitter that they're apparently still maintaining RSS feeds. I really thought that would have been killed off by now. More choices are generally better, so I'm glad that's still a thing.
Stoke – A stochastic superoptimizer and program synthesizer
I tweaked my comment a little. I’m not sure exactly how webpack is doing it’s work, but I think you’re right.

I think the big optimization is skipping the bundling. If you want to wait on type checking results, and that’s the slowest part, then I don’t see how this could speed up your builds.
> For most living Americans, I think you can make a fair argument that this is the biggest disaster in their lifetime.

I'm in my 40ies, and while other things are more easily boiled down to a single image or two that get seared in your brain, like the Challenger exploding or the airplane hitting the second tower, there's simply nothing like it to have happened here in terms of the toll in human lives and myriad other secondary problems.

The Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 was pretty massive in terms of the death toll, but it was more localized in an area far from anywhere I've lived, and if we're looking at the total number of deaths, COVID-19 is well ahead of it.
I don't think the city council will do anything to save a museum as they don't benefit from it, I hope Bezos (Seattle's REAL mayor) will... save us Jeff!
Oh, I have to disagree, I think high volume sites are a great thing for RSS. In fact, I tend to think the more items in a feed, the better. No, I usually don't go through all of them at once, I'll go through several hundred at a time.
I feel like it will be more like Jeff who would call him out on it.Susie will just get mad she did not receive it.
Ask HN: Non-Business Books for Business?
I've read many of the popular business books. No doubt, there is a lot of great information in there.
But sometimes I like to get a broader perspective since business isn't everything.

Things like Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and even Fight Club have helped shape my world view and probably my view of running a startup.

Are there any books you would recommend? Looking for "not business" books that you find yourself referring back to a lot in your day to day. Movies/blogs/etc might be acceptable too, but that's kind of cheating.
So he’s biased. Does that mean him fact checking is wrong? Sure, we should demand accountability on both sides, but it’s hard to be completely neutral.
> What if you need to recompute this feature daily, for millions of customers and orders?...moreover, the DS/ML folks want the same feature but for "every 1/3/7/30/90/180/365/730/etc." days breakdown, as well as a bunch of variations about orders and things other than orders (e.g. "average time between new orders, over past 7/30/90 days" or "average $ spent over past 7/30/90 days", as features that serves as a proxy for frequency of activity and level of engagement)

...what data warehouse/database are you using that can't support those queries on-demand at low-latency and granularity?

It seems to me that these 'feature stores' are just tables of pre-computed common aggregates, optionally with some kind of versioning id/timestamp.
In which case, why do I need some special service to do this, can't I just make a second database in my warehouse and write something that just computes all desired aggregations periodically and dumps them into the second db? Even easier, just use stored process and distribute them to data scientists, and use timestamp parameters to control versioning.
No, you're 100% correct.

O(n^[number]) = polynomial, with O(n^2) being quadratic.

O([a number]^n) = exponential.

I guess the authors aren't big on CS fundamentals?
I think substitutions are way, way more complex than that. Just from my own experience:

I eat low carb (keto). Recently I had vanilla yogurt (22g carbs) substituted for Greek yogurt (5g carbs), which I basically can't eat. There's a handful of other things where the carbs can vary wildly between brands such as sausages, salad dressing, and BBQ sauce. Not to mention that many people think the "low fat" version of anything is basically interchangeable (reality: less fat, but 10x the carbs (sugar) to make up for it).

My kid is allergic to peanuts. There's a shocking amount of things that "may contain peanuts or tree nuts" including things you wouldn't necessarily expect like pita breads, meatballs and chicken fingers. We stick to the same brands generally, but always read the label whenever buying something new.

Food allergies are probably possible to handle (though you really do have to check everything), but I don't realistically expect the pickers to follow the more specific/crazy diet restrictions. We've only done online pickup a handful of times but have stopped allowing substitutions on most things for the above reasons.
This is pretty cool.

Does it only send data? If yes, I don't really see a clear use-case for it, as you normally either want zero JS and just use plain HTML forms posting or you have a dynamic interface and you use a lot of JS to update data on the page.

Oh, of course the roof is amazing, one of the crowning achievements of human ingenuity, IMHO. But for some reason the floor impresses me at least as much.

If you're a Roman working on that roof, you know you're doing something totally unprecedented in human history. So you pull out all the stops with an utterly heroic feat of engineering and construction. That's very impressive, but when it comes to the floor -- well, plenty of buildings have floors, nothing groundbreaking about that. So, y'know, just call the flooring contractors and have them install something nice.

The fact that something relatively ordinary is still performing so well, a couple thousand years later, is what blows my mind. Today, I'm sure that a gathering of the world's greatest engineers would be capable of designing a dome that would last for millennia. But I doubt there's any flooring contractor on earth who would give even a hundred-year guarantee on their work.
> how do you lessen the spread of misinformation?

It's a problem that we cannot actually engage in any debate or correction. President Trump is a perfect example of this, he drops his Tweet and then, poof, he's gone. He will not respond to difficult question about freedom of speech, etc.

Trump drops his talking point and runs away, then Twitter drops their "fact check" and runs away. I don't think anyone is the better for it. Nobody's minds have been changed. Nobody has been educated or given serious thought to difficult issues. Nobody has had empathy for others. Having the "fact check" is better than not, but not much, and "fact checks" are not always correct.

If we could somehow social engineer our way to meaningful debates on these difficult topics, we would be much better off. I know the President can't respond to millions of people, but if we could, somehow, systematically choose just a few of the best counterpoints and force some dialogue, then a lot of the "bullshit" would immediately evaporate.
