I've been looking for something like this for a while, for the same reason as you (optimizing pics for Twitter). I currently use the Skitch app on macOS, which requires like 5 clicks and a few keystrokes to lock the ratio to 16x9.
Doesn’t MacOS already have an elaborate notification implementation? Would not integrating with that work?
I don’t see how this could work, at least with US tax law.

It looks like some clever kids have figured out how to use repl.it to bypass school blockers.

I guess the program instantiates a browser, makes an HTTP request and displays the result. The program runs from repl.it servers, which, of course, are not limited by the school's blocker. But the results are displayed back to the school.

It looks like the technique is pretty widely known, so schools are getting wise.

This is tricky from the school's perspective. Obviously repl.it is a valuable educational tool. Yet it can be abused pretty easily to do things schools can't allow.
Not everything is for everyone, and I feel like I have learned a lot about what HN thinks about cooking from this.

Most here seem to approach cooking as programming, maybe someone wants to make a meal compiler. I can't imagine cooking so strictly, if anything it's time away from the terminal to work with my hands and maybe create something I can enjoy or share with others. I did not expect so much rigor and seriousness! :D
I think they were being funny.
I liken it more to (over)paying for the rights to a specific print of the art.

Much like prints, you don't own the art itself, or the rights to the image. The rarity of the print can change at any point.

Like many prints, a lot are not even from the original artist and are instead stolen and resold on any number of markets.

There's no real world value to a print, but in this case there's a significant real world environmental cost to acquiring it.

It's sheer stupidity of the masses IMHO.

Do cease and desists even apply here? For example could you tangibly ruin the market for a future NFT artist by flooding the market with their artwork before they get on it?
So you think that ACPI tables are better than fdts and are fine with writing them instead of fdts, when it comes down to it?

Like when you need to write support for a new board or if you need to patch your ACPI tables, because of bugs in there: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/acpi/init...

`PTSD` sound more like an ACPI table name ;)
There are also "impossible" colors. There was an article on HN frontpage several weeks ago about it, I think.

While the goal of schooling is cultivate young minds and educate them, the reality is that schools are an institution that must implement a curriculum and they expect students to do as they are told.
This is actually a great point. I have zero personal interest in pets or plants, so I'm always baffled by how people can live with animals running around at home or with plants cluttering up the home. I understand the appeal to others, I just don't relate. So for me a few pets or plants is indeed already 'many'.

It's not as tangible as owning a more conventional object (like a book or pen), but there's actually a meaningful difference between owning and not owning those shares (like dividends or voting rights).

That's the benefit of owning shares, it doesn't mean you own part of the company in any meaningful way. The relationship is the same as owning an NFT instead of owning the art itself. Shares can be useful of themselves just as owning an NFT can come with some benefits like, say, a secret URL that only the owner can access.
I was surprised to see that Amjad was the one to post this.
I brought it up because it was being sold as an appliance type device with invoice data on it, to be sold to probably non-technical customers. Not just as a random gripe. I did reply, after finding that specific product page, with an update that she is shipping it with a real drive.
There are, and they begin with a brainfu*k esolang dialect called Hofstadter that represents instructions as different camelCase capitalizations of the name Hofstadter. If neither of these are familiar to you, sorry about your afternoon!
When you but work from an artist, you own the “artwork” rather than a copyright of the artwork, ie you have no right to reproduce it.

The difference is that this is a digital artefact rather than a physical one, not all that different than buying a conceptual artwork (eg Sol LeWitt, which might be just typed instructions on an otherwise empty page).
Let me get this straight. $10 a month of a calendar widget that's only available for a single platform? Plus, these quotes don't really help.

> “No more looking for the Google calendar tab in Chrome.”

Maybe use the native calendar app then? Or make an app shortcut for Google Calendar in Chrome?

> “I just joined a meeting 3 minutes late instead of 5 because of Superpowered, which is a resounding success in my book.”

Ummm. Probably not a good one to include.

I just don't get the $120/yr value in this. On Windows, I have all my calendars synced with the stock calendar app, links to the meetings are automatically pulled into the notes section, and reminders are automatically set for 15 minutes. Whenever I get a notification for my next meeting, I click it, then click the link and I'm in my meeting. For macOS, same thing.
Are people against blocking replit or schools blocking things in general? If the former, but not the latter, what's so special about replit? Schools block a ton of websites.

An argument could be made that schools blocking websites in general is counterproductive, however given that replit can be used to circumvent school blocks, it seems justified from the school's point of view.

Unless schools are blocking every single tool that assist with coding like khan academy, I don't really see the issue.
This is very cool. I scratched down "webhooks-as-a-service" into my "business ideas" note years ago after building my own webhook system for keygen.sh (mine is backed by Redis+Sidekiq). Lots of edge cases over the years. Glad somebody is running with the idea!

Agreed. I've never seen a vernacular term fill this role well.

If you need to learn the technical concepts either way to be effective, might as well give them a name that doesn't conflict with another definition most people know.

I guess it depends upon what you mean by complex. UO was a 2D world, MUDs are text worlds, and modern MMORPGs are 3D - that right there is going to make any given feature more complex in a modern MMORPG than UO or a MUD.

What I think they mean is MUDs and early MMOs were more sandbox-style. This can create complex and unplanned interactions in the game. But the market has mostly decided they don't like these style of games. So you won't get a AAA developer making them because the money just isn't there.

Many people loved these interactions. But even more hated them. These days you have options. Back then you didn't. Back in 2000, if you wanted to play an MMO, you had 3 options. Nowadays you have dozens.

MUDs also have the benefit of not having millions of dollars on the line. And a million monkeys typing all at once. There's literally thousands of MUDs out there. Most of them are really bad and uninspiring.

It's funny to think about how things have shifted. Back when WoW was released, instancing was controversial. Some didn't completely consider it an MMO because it let you opt out of a shared experience with others you don't know.
This seems more plausible than money laundering. Probably also with physical art.
> The existence of the interactions doesn't necessitate engaging with them. If engaging with interactions is taking too much time away, one could simply, not engage with them.

Sure, I get it, everyone needs to prioritize. But if you are ignoring interactions on your OSS project, you can expect more, oh, I'll call it 'heat'. I have seen those github issue threads, where people get frustrated because someone hasn't engaged.

So if you aren't going to engage, why open source it? Sure, there are other reasons, but the community feedback loop is a crucial part of the value of OSS for building a business.

Also, I get there's nuance and you can choose to engage when there's been a certain level of commitment from the community (a number of upvotes is what my current company uses to help prioritize efforts), but for a solo founder it can be really hard to prioritize, and the author apparently found all the requests a distraction. His choice, but I sympathize.
Out of curiosity, given the nine figure migration costs you're throwing around, why bother? How is it hurting you day to day (to the tune of a billion dollars) enough to migrate. Obvs all else being equal there's no way you'd start on mainframe today, but now that you have it why jump off?

1. This is kind of a dumb defense in my opinion. If someone is smart enough to be finding and then logging into a coding website to follow the steps here, I very much doubt little will stop them of finding other work arounds.

2. The petition seems a bit lame and without any real purpose. Sometimes all news is good news. Not saying this is that definitely -- but astroturfing into an outrage machine is great for press for a market you're trying to grow in / raise brand awareness.

3. At the very least, more coding and access in schools is a no brainer. Restricting access in general to anything is dumb. Most kids have (or will have friends) with a smart phone to see and do whatever they want.
Are you including mining costs for the metals to create wind turbines and solar panels? The mining costs to create a battery network large enough to have backup power for billions of households? What about the carbon cost of replacing and recycling the batteries? What about the carbon cost of rebuilding/refurbishing the current electrical networks to allow for this green future? What about creating a supply network for transportation where one basically doesn't exist today?

Hydrocarbons are 12-15x more energy dense than what current batteries are able to store. A $1 spent today on hydrocarbon production results in 500-600% more energy produced than $1 spent on solar/wind energy production. Green is sexy, but the physics and economics don't support a massive shift to green.
Just wait till we get proper sex robots in the not so distant future. Lots of people think it will spell liberation as we're all able to indulge our most sordid sexual fantasies with a non-judgemental partner.

But you just know the reality is going to be that the robo-trollops will be phoning home constantly, sharing your every pecadillo with Amazon, Apple, Google or equivalent. Cue spam emails about special offers on handcuffs, nurse's outfits and superman costumes.

I guess, for privacy's sake, we'll have to root our sex robots before we... er... 'root' them.
Based ultimately comes from hip-hop jargon (ex: Lil B the Based God). It is an older form of the newer 'Chad' meme and an antonym of 'cringe'. It is often used on 4chan with many layers of irony. In fact, using based unironically (like based.cooking) is kind of cringe since MAGA boomers co-opted it.
The EU domain is available to EU residents and citizens, not just citizens. I as a British citizen and EU resident am entitled to one (not that I have bothered - someone got the one I wanted first :O )

> Supposedly to prevent sales of NFTs of their art without their approval. No idea if that’s a real issue or not.

It is. I guess like with every new crypto pyramid scheme, a bunch of fraudsters show up trying to profit from the FOMO. Have a look at https://twitter.com/simonstalenhag for some examples of what one artist is facing right now.

If you look in a traditional cookbook, yes. The online world is different, for all the reasons discussed here.

> unattributed stolen recipes probably isn't worth much as it won't have a reputation or branding.

That's the point, though, you can't "steal" a recipe. It can be a trade secret, like the original formula for Coca-Cola, but if that recipe were to get out anyone could make the same stuff, not call it Coca-Cola, and the Coca-Cola company couldn't do anything about it. At best they could try to find out how it leaked and pursue action under theft of trade secrets law.

I've started searching for "ethnic" recipes in their home languages, because the English-language ones are often so badly under-spiced that the called-for amounts aren't even useful as a rough estimate (for e.g. shopping or judging whether you have enough on-hand to make the dish), and sometimes are practically a completely different dish than the real thing. (if the dish has an English-language Wikipedia entry, clicking the link on that page for the dish's page in its native language is a great way to find the right thing to search for, and then Google Translate usually does an OK job on the recipe itself)
One of the top reasons given in the petition begins with "it's unbelievable that schools would block such a site."

Well.
Thanks for raising this good point. I didn't get a chance to elaborate on this in my original post because it was getting too long and it was end of a long day.

The cost of adding a column is zero, in terms of schema migration. So that helps with developer velocity. We used an ORM (mongoose), so that we can have added constraints including default values. But Mongo did help us avoid the friction of adding columns.
It is a real problem. We're trying to get to the bottom of it but the system seems vague and opaque and we have no idea who's doing the actual blocking. I do think some publicity might help us reach folks who are in charge of these school firewalls, which seems to be run by IT providers. In addition to kids posting, here is a screenshot of schools posting on Facebook groups also confused by it: https://imgur.com/a/YzFEEmp

Charge a battery at home during the day or whenever energy is available, then charge your car from that battery at night.
This sounds like a classic "in front of the steamroller" startup. Apple is likely building a similar capability into MacOS; it's just not yet released. One day, a new MacOS will roll out and the menu bar calendar will be one of 8,000 new features. Your market is gone overnight.

If you are lucky, they will see your genius and acquihire you. If not, this company has a high likelihood of failing or becoming a lifestyle company with a small but valuable user base who cannot live without the few special things your menu bar app does that Apple's built-in feature does not.

All this being said, you can also discover all kinds of things on the journey that take you away from the original idea into areas where a lot of growth can happen. Build things your customers love and you will find success. It's a great idea fundamentally.

> This means that at the time of writing this report, over a year and a half after the complaints were launched, a decision on the complaints is still far off and it is unclear when such a decision could be expected. Meanwhile, Google continues to spy on the comings and goings of millions of European consumers. Moreover, since the complaints were launched, the company has even carried out a (misleading) public PR campaign to portray itself as company that respects privacy and highlight that users are in control of their personal data.

Great question. Right now that's how it looks. We started with Google Calendar as base since the calendar acts as a source of truth throughout the day for remote workers.

Now that we've got the base down (which takes time), we're quickly branching out to include more platforms, to make us less of a widget and more of a platform ourselves.
Rust was originally built with green threads. The RFC that proposed removing them has an extremely detailed explanation of why the change was made pre-1.0: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/0806be4f282144cfcd55b...

I think this has proven itself to be the right decision. It's one of the main reasons that Rust works so well alongside other languages—there's very little default Rust runtime that complicates interop. There are also lots of programming scenarios for which green threads are not the right tool, and Rust accommodates those.
> Thank you for pointing this out. It obviously can't be his first C compiler because it's written in C! :)

This isn't obvious to me.

I just assumed that the first iteration was compiled by hand to bootstrap a minimum workable version. Then the language would be extended slightly, and that version would be compiled with the compiler v. n-1 until a full-feature compiler is made.

It makes sense to write a compiler in a different language, but given the era, I could see hand-compilation still being a thing.
THIS but I sit and ponder. I make it a point to sit outside every night for hours all year around, only restricted by rain or snow, and it has changed me for the better. I highly encourage investment in oneself to do the same without any human produced content distractions as the minds creativity is endless.
This looks really good! I'm a Meeter user so it's a real use case I have already spent time looking for solutions to.

I agree with other commenters though - I'd pay a one-time $10, but $10 per month seems unreasonably high. For perspective Meeter is free, and Spotify is $4 for a family of 4 (in my country).

Maybe it could be part of the bundle at https://setapp.com/ or similar? Or you could have a set-your-own-price monthly sub?
Yes, it's internet slang. From Wiktionary:

A thought: presumably the institutional investors are going to be both better equipped and more eager to extract money owed to them, whereas a SaaS business is more likely to cut losses, offer discounts, deferrals, free months to customers facing hardship.

Does Pipe control and allow for those sort of factors? Is the client business on the hook for the revenue every month? Or does a customer of a business that sells its receivables through Pipe suddenly find themselves counterparty to (w.l. o. g.) BlackRock?

Site not accessible.

The 8080. If I remember well, there was no instruction to adjust after BCD substraction (as with the Z80) So you had to do 9's complement the second operand and do an addition.

Later in the article it describes many companies stance on mainframe, hybrid cloud and cloud.

Hybrid cloud just means you have all the security problems of hosting your own infra, AND all the security problems of the cloud. Not to mention other non security problems of both systems.

When these CIO / CTOs make this "middle of the road" decision, they are dooming their tech budget to spend more on infrastructure and processes than actual product.

It's one thing to have a "we are both until we finish migrating to one" but to try and maintain both forever is just punting the problem to the next person.
I did not know about those. Thanks for alerting me. I deleted the posts. But if it is the case that this is the main driver then they should have reached out to us instead of blanket blocking.
