We're building a collaborative meal planning site for personalized nutrition. If you've ever tried to improve your wellness or fitness through nutrition, you likely found yourself preparing more meals yourself. We think it takes too much time to pull together recipes into a well balanced, tasty meal plan that helps you achieve your goals. We intend to fix this at Fresh Batch.

Two of my buddies and I have been hacking a solution together as our 5 - 8 through the pandemic. We're pushing hard to open up beta soon. You can request private beta access on the home page. Feedback much appreciated!

The idea is a daily note/task management tool combined with the WorkFlowy concept of infinite lists. The real use case here is for heavy note taking and also tracking the todos within all the notes. I found that with WorkFlowy I had so many buried todos that I could never see them in one place and manage them throughout the day. It’s great for notes, but wasn’t working for tracking tasks.

It allows you to prioritize the tasks at every level. You can zoom in on certain nodes to see only the tasks relevant for that node and descendants. It actually works for me but would love to get some task rabbit testers.
also, tax exempt?
All of those tags are optional. It’s perfectly valid to omit them.

> I have no clue why the author checks this. The rioters entered a building (which is by the way the seat of the legislative power) and that's it. Even if they had killed everyone inside, that wouldn't have put them an inch closer to seizing the power.

The fairly overt goal, articulated in only slightly elliptical language by the President in inciting the mob, was to cause, by intimidation, members of Congress to alter their behavior re: the count of electoral votes so that Trump would be declared the victor and thus retain executive power.
There's this sort of thing, definitely, but I'll note that Facebook lacks many of these features, and is still a toxic environment, although perhaps less overtly so.

My own guess is that the most fundamental problem is that Dunbar's number is real, and bad things happen if you blow past it. Large scale human communication works best when it is not modeled as an endless, 24/7 masquerade ball where the theme of the party is bullhorns.
The idea behind repealing 230 is not essentially about tackling censorship.

It's more so the idea, that the right wing believes that Social Media is unfairly applying their moderation rules targeting the right side of the political spectrum. They want these these rules (even if it's more censorship) applied evenly to both right and left speech.

While what we have right now is not "free" speech, even moderated speech has a bias and both sides point to the other when it comes to these rules being applied unfairly.
Repealing 230 is a way to hurt who they see as responsible - the companies running the services as they are the one who apply these moderation rules unfairly.
oooo, that's 100% my fault, not theirs!!! Removed it.

> For example incitement to genocide must be a red line.

I don't think this has to do with why Twitter banned Trump.

> Iran’s leader has repeatedly shared tweets calling Israel a “deadly, cancerous growth” to be “uprooted and destroyed” — all going unchecked by Twitter.

> “The long-lasting virus of Zionism will be uprooted thanks to the determination and faith of the youth,” Khamenei wrote as recently as May.

That's from an article talking about how Twitter defends allowing Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei a platform https://nypost.com/2020/07/29/twitter-defends-blocking-trump...

Clearly Twitter is ok with this kind of political speech, and even defends it.

Here's a fairly polished single player time-based word game I've been working on (works on mobile and desktop):

https://seanwilson.itch.io/wordoid

Looking at adding a global high score table (nobody is using the quick feature I added to share your score on Twitter), it might need more hints on what the orange tiles do for your scoring (I'm hoping players naturally work this out), I might tweak the rules more to encourage more strategy, the sound effects aren't great, music might help, it should be an offline PWA, and I'll maybe try to monetise it for mobile.

Feedback welcome! :) Was it obvious how to play? Too easy or hard? Does the scoring system encourage you to play words strategically?

I understand the nuance you describe, but the situation I described is, at times, a problem with Section 230. For example:

> When a US Army reservist found herself at the center of a conspiracy about the coronavirus earlier this year, her life was upended.

> Hoax peddlers on the internet falsely claimed that Maatje Benassi was somehow the world's COVID-19 patient zero. Over time, conspiracy theorists posted at least 70 videos across multiple YouTube channels claiming that Benassi had brought the virus into the world. Along with those videos came death threats, which Benassi and her husband, Matt, took seriously.

> But at first, the couple did not know how to respond. Trolls hiding behind aliases on the internet were almost impossible to find, and the Benassis could not sue YouTube for allowing the content to be posted because of a now-controversial law known as Section 230.

> We moved in agricultural workers, it was fine. We just had an isolation requirement and testing.

As you might remember, there was a shortage of tests the first time that the EU needed to move its agricultural workers en masse (which happened already in the spring – harvests in Spain are more or less continuous, unlike Atlantic Canada where it is much more restricted seasonally). Also, many of those agricultural laborers live in precarious working conditions that the state has little insight into, and arranging any kind of isolation on short notice was not possible.

The EU was not aiming at total elimination because the virus had already spread throughout the bloc practically before the authorities were even aware of it and again, these are not island nations.
Justice is certainly a sliding scale. The remote, dependent culture of a space station may have to make hard decision. For instance, out the airlock with the plaintiff because they are expendable and the accused is the only one who can maintain the air recyclers. And so on.
I early-released access to an API for generating interactive chord diagrams. Can be used via Python package, Rust crate, or HTTP API.

https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/chord-pro/

It's been/being used by people from many different sectors which is great to see. It's making enough to pay for 2 coffees a month, or at least to cover the server it's hosted on. If I didn't enjoy working on it, I'd factor in my time!

It started as a quick way to generate a d3-chord diagram and has slowly grown since then.
is it possible you actually did get a non tail call where you thought it would be one, but just didn't go deep enough to blow up the stack so you weren't aware? It could be possible the call recursed "only" 10,000 times and didn't blow up any stack.

Or perhaps you've only used good macros. But it is incredibly easy for a macro to end up with (+ 0 x) where you think it will end up with "x".

It's also possible that you have used a macro that ended with (+ 0 x), the optimizer turned it into "x" and you got the tail call eliminated but were not guaranteed to get that, and it may blow up on another Scheme implementation.

That's what I don't like about it; The compiler definitely knows if it did TCE or cannot, and it does change program semantics if it did or didn't. So why can't I just annotate the code saying "well, I intend this to TCE, please complain if you can't?"
A neat little css property aside, isn't the separation of concerns a cornerstone of web pages?

Average latency for the Lambda over the last week is 4.84s and it runs with 128mb of memory. Running every two minutes, that comes to ~25,000 invocations and ~15,000 GB-seconds of compute time per month. The AWS Lambda free usage tier includes 1M free requests per month and 400,000 GB-seconds of compute time per month so the Lambda is definitely free.

The website is tiny (homepage < 20kb excluding the thumbnails which are hosted by Twitch), so I'm also inside the free tier on S3 and CloudFront. I paid $12 upfront for the domain registration.
Fair, which is what I assumed was the case, rather than the idea that we wake up one morning to literally zero recourse for someone stealing our stuff.

That assumption of cohesiveness of argument is what I’m trying to get at with my question. The argument we should be having is in the terms of the academic work, rather than the one-line phrase.

My point overall is that no equivalent academic work has been presented that actually attempts to remove Section 230 protections (as the protections stem ultimately from the first amendment), so it’s not fair to compare the two.

I may have gotten separated a bit from that point along the way, so I apologize for my lack of clarity!

First of all, you seem to be talking about the PRC and not Chinese. All of us would gladly take China away from the CCP dictatorship, and give it to the Chinese people as a true democracy.

I am without a doubt arguing for a change of law.

There are actually two changes that would need to be made for my post to work.

First, that the law should acknowledge that Apple has 100% market share on every patented feature, and therefore they have a monopoly, not on smart phones, but on "smart phones with rounded corners" and numerous other design decisions and features that they have chosen to patent and gain a monopoly on. This is a change in how the relevant market is defined.

Second, that any prevention of competition in after markets should be illegal, not just prevention of competition in after markets that consumers weren't aware of when they bought the device.

Consumer harm here is trivial. That want to use an app, they cannot, that is harm.

(Ianal either, but spent a lot of time reading about this sort of issue)
Then whats the point of you comment if not to sugarcoat the fact that Trump's followers committed an act of terror.

I was thinking of phrases that are overused by the author. In this case, they said multiple times that characters 'screamed with laughter'. On about the 5th time this became somewhat jarring.

You are right that in reported speech a specific character might repeat the same thing over and over. And that in stylised writing there may be stock phrases that are always used without problem. A good example here is the The Iliad by Homer, which uses multiple stock phrases to support oral presentation by a story-teller to an audience. Children's literature may use similar conventions (e.g. "Once upon a time...", "And they all lived Happily ever-after")
https://github.com/etimberg/pycircuitbreaker/

A python implementation of the circuit breaker pattern. Not a new concept, but I did innovate in how the breaker decides to open.

I realized that with a normal breaker, if you set the threshold to 5, but 4/5 requests failed (say due to a backend service being partially down) the breaker would never open. To solve this, you can set the breaker to use the net error count so that the breaker would behave as such:

Req Num | Req Status | Breaker Status

1 | Fail | Closed

2 | Fail | Closed

3 | Fail | Closed

4 | Fail | Closed

5 | Pass | Closed

6 | Fail | Closed

7 | Fail | Open
Do you have proof that concervatives are?
Interesting concept. This seems to simplify the writing part. What about the rest? Is the list of posts generated automatically (if so, how?), or does it require manual management? Do you need the code tag, or could it be something more semantically relevant, such as article?
Given the events of this past week, you're also forced to make a choice at this crossroads. Do you support democracy? Or "speech", including speech that has a clear and direct connection to violent mobs?

I choose elections. We need to clamp down on the speech that causes insurrections, mob mentality, and ultimately prevent further attacks on the centers of democracy.
Idris is not rigorous enough?

I'm a relatively new user to HN. I've greatly appreciated how much more civil the conversations tend to be when compared to reddit. I have noticed, however, that news submissions, especially those which do not inherently have a technological aspect to them, tend to digress into what I can only assume are strongly held, but not adequately supported, opinions on the topic. These are then met by a flurry of flags. Further, submissions such as this one seem to directly contradict the HN guidelines, as it is arguably [1]:

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

On one hand, this type of submission is not a new phenomenon and has been submitted to HN multiple times. If you search for Hong Kong arrests on HN, you get dozens of results; for example, [2][3][4][5], etc. On the other hand, I understand why people who feel strongly about this topic want to submit content pertaining to it past an initial submission some months ago.

There's a very heavy focus on gracenotes in piping - that's probably the main difference. There are a lot of different embellishments (probably more than 200) used very frequently with 3 to 10 individual gracenotes in them. Most general music notation apps are not so good with dealing with this - MuseScore, for example, has a massive list of all possible embellishments which you have to scroll through to try and find the one you want.
PipeScore tries to take advantage of the patterns in gracenotes to reduce the number of options by categorising them (e.g. the 'doubling' class has 27 different embellishments in it, but they are all dependent on the notes immediately before and after the embellishment, so instead of manually choosing the correct doubling you just choose 'doubling' and it automatically gives the right one)

There are other dedicated bagpipe apps but none of them are as frictionless as I'd like.

> but not enough builders doing actual application development.

It's simply because the community is small.

People compare Haskell to other languages like Java or JS like there's an equal amount of manpower, and therefore, if not everything has a library, it must be because haskellers are slacking on useless stuff. It is not.

Other small languages communities have exactly the same issues, it's not specific to haskell. The only thing that is specific is outsiders feeling entitled to an ecosystem and blaming "these damn fp ivory tower types" for not providing it.

If you take antiretrovirals you're very unlikely to become infected with HIV, even if you take it after initial exposure (but do your own research on that), but as soon as you stop, you lose that protection -- same with antibodies (not sure how a vaccine would help T-cell immunity if HIV infects T-cells).
