Heroku's exit was pretty huge for its time. In fact it was the largest YC exit to-date.

For context Heroku was created in 2008 just after the housing crash. By the time they exited Facebook was still 2.5 years away from going public and a solid seed round still looked like a few hundred grand if you were a hot company (on top of the ~17k you'd get from YC).

Washing machines didn't eliminate all demand for labor. It was pretty niche like most applications so far. And yeah, most of the world still doesn't have them, so those positive feedback loops have been there the whole time.
> The western world has some of the lowest carbon output globally

The EU is making a lot of improvements, but the US, Australia, and Canada are still some of the world's largest emitters.

> no "per capita" stats please, we're looking at "% of global carbon output" which makes more sense

This is nonsense. By that logic, it would be better if China were replaced with 5000 Qatars. If you don't think population is a good excuse for more greenhouse gas emissions, then you should be praising China because they're the only nation that limited population control.
It's not that I don't get it, it's that I call HAS screen scraping and I think screen scraping is a bad API design. It's also that I think HAS explicitly couples API and presentation, which is undesirable.

We can argue all day, but the proof is in the pudding: build something real with this approach, and show me it's better. I have doubts, but even one counter example would change my mind.
The question was never how to launch it or when but building and testing the telescope. SpaceX has no proven or even theoretical skill in building telescopes.

Been doing this for decades and this has cropped up so few times I can't actually think of any.

Your clients might not be my clients. Your projects differ from mine. Don't generalise from your own experience. There's a lot more websites than there are apps.
By that logic no one could ever safely eat steak tartare, which obviously you can without any issue. There will be bacteria growing in the surface, but unless someone fucked up somewhere along the way, they won't be harmful.

> like a user who posted an image of a chimpanzee with the caption, "Here's one of Michelle Obama."

Anecdotally, I’ve seen these sort of images shared across Facebook many times and it was a large part of a decision to step back my usage of the product around 2016, including having my account deactivated for several years

This topic is commonly viewed in a political lens (free speech, etc) but I view it in a free market lens: Facebook.com is full of garbage and Meta can ignore user experience issues, such as flamebait and hate speech, to their own detriment. It’s actively difficult, from my experience, to use their product in just about any way without running into heaps of inflammatory garbage.
I want to like this, but the for loop is unnecessarily messy, and not correct.

for route in foo bar baz do
curl localhost:8080/$route
done

That's just begging go wonky. Should be

stuff="foo bar baz"
for route in $stuff; do
echo curl localhost:8080/$route
done

Some might say that it's not absolutely necessary to abstract the array into a variable and that's true, but it sure does make edits a lot easier. And, the original is missing a semicolon after the 'do'.

I think it's one reason I dislike lists like this- a newb might look at these and stuff them into their toolkit without really knowing why they don't work. It slows down learning. Plus, faulty tooling can be unnecessarily destructive.
Crosstalk can cause nausea and headaches in some people, just like VAC and motion lag.

That being said, circular polarization off of a retro reflective screen is one of the two state of the art ways of doing step stereo 3d: if you saw Avatar in a modern theater, there's a good chance that was used, so crosstalk should be minimal and much better than with an anaglyph.

[edit]

I should also note that circular polarization is different from the linear polarization that was used e.g. in Disney attractions in the '90s (and thus still used in some of the older attractions). With linear polarization if you tilt your head 45 degrees to one side or the other you will get an even mix of the L/R channels in each eye. Circular polarization does not have that issue.

Though it seems to me with the projector originating from the same plane as the glasses, circular polarization would be redundant. I'm sure the engineers there know more than someone who dropped out of physics after flunking the optics lab though :)
AWS most likely won't acquire - they'd rather build their own solution that does 80% of the job okay.
Downside of most HTMX examples (such as the form in TFA) seems to be lack of graceful degradation with non-JS-enabled user agents.

But then, the rest of the page is server-generated (taking care of SEO), and handling interactivity without JS may not be a priority for most sites nowadays.

> On the other hand, apparently the age laws are widely flouted? And everyone knows it but turns a blind eye? And drink-driving is so common that even if you kill someone, it's barely punished?

In my experience, it perfectly describes Europe too. Maybe not drink-driving being common in all countries, but age laws being ignored is something I find normal.

If anything, in USA they make much much bigger deal over age laws then in Europe.
Spotlight does just that and has since 2005.

I am open to HTMX. Seems refreshing but I am a little confused about how to structure the backend API returning small bits of HTML? Wouldn't that be a colossal nightmare to reason about?

I can think over time I'll have endpoints like this:

No? Haven't quite thought about it deeply but I can imagine logic mixed with UI bits in the backend.

Thank you! For anyone else wondering: Raindrop costs 35 euro per year (but has a limited free version) and Wallabag starts from 3 euro per year, and has options for 5 and 25 euro, but I'm not sure if this influences functionality or is simply a way of donating money to the project.
Hey HN -- I'm finally getting moving on one of the biggest projects I think I'll undertake (it's a cloud provider that aims to run everywhere AWS/GCP/Azure aren't), but while working on that I couldn't help but do some yak shaving on the pre-launch landing page.

What I wanted to see was if I could get an API driven approach that was easy to modify/surface to non-technical people and avoid the usual flat file/SQLite/Postgres. I ended up with the usual interest-gathering landing page but with an API that writes to Baserow[0] instead of the database directly (there's technically a database behind baserow of course), which so I wrote about the process. I hit a few gotchas along the way so I did a writeup.

I think there's some interesting mashups of "traditional" code-driven flows and no-code tools that are yet to be explored so this was one of the things that felt like a good fit. Similarly A combination of Firestore and Rowy[1] would have achieved similar results.

If I was interested in pure efficiency MailChimp/Firebase/drag&drop landing page builders/etc would have been the right choice of course -- but where's the fun in that?

unordered_map is the hashmap.

Cloudflare runs DDoS protection against a surprisingly many sites now. Often you don't even see the "checking your browser" screen, it just happens passively.

While individual authors and publishers benefit substantially (caching, anti-DDoS, etc.), this is a huge net loss for the internet. It essentially entrenches Google and the rest of MAGMA as the forever winners of spidering the web. If you try to spin up your own crawler, you'll get hit by this bullshit. It's becoming impossible to bootstrap now.

Do most people ask that their vehicle carry furniture and appliances on a regular basis?

Honestly any time I have a larger item either being hauled to my place or away from it, it's someone else's vehicle, e.g. delivery of a new appliance or pricing it to move quickly on craigslist so someone comes and takes it away.
It’s a contractor’s. If it was a UPS branded truck they could reach out to UPS. In this case the only thing they seem to know is that the vehicle is in operation for Amazon. So they naturally must reach out to them. And Amazon should at the very least be able to tell which contractors they use in the area, or rather even which contractor delivered a specific package.

It's a common theme with PDF printers -- their output filename by default is [program name] - [document title].pdf

Another thing I'd add to that list:

- make sure your facts are right. Ideally, make sure they are right well before you give feedback.

You can end up in awkward situations where a manager says "you promised to deliver this in a month but it's taken the whole quarter" but the one month timeline was the PM's idea, and you told everyone it would take 4 months.
> Let's be honest, words like "incident," "sudden," and "vibration" are not the kinds of expressions one wants to hear about the handling of a delicate and virtually irreplaceable instrument like the Webb telescope.

This reminded me of the terms the kerbal space program community use like "Rapid Unplanned Disassembly (RUD)" and "Lithobraking" (crashing into the ground thus "braking" and often breaking, an usually unwanted alternative to aerobraking).

I wouldn't be surprised to see the KSP community use Sudden Vibration Incident as a euphemism for what happens when you exit time-warp and sometimes the whole spaceship turns into a vibrating jelly.

I don't know what the actual answer is, but I think tax does a pretty good job of influencing behavior. Maybe there needs to be more of it.

You get a tax credit for buying EV's. Maybe there needs to be a bigger credit, or a bigger tax on fossil fueled cars. Don't ban stuff, just increase taxes on stuff and influence people's direction. The money raised can be used for making things better.

If only activists had never resorted to hyperbole, people would have seen through the vast, well-funded web of climate denial. They'd have Done Their Own Research (tm) and reached a reasonable and non-controversial approach to tackling climate change.

I realize that sarcasm never reads well on the Internet, but it's the natural response to a statement so stupid that there's no alternative but to repeat it in astonishment.

I do wish that climate activists were always correct and never hyperbolic. That would be great. But it's a persistent falsehood that people would change their minds if only it weren't for the missteps by activists.

Climate denial is not "misleading". It's active, deliberately constructed misinformation, which a ton of people accept because it aligns with their ideology. Even people who are nominally intelligent enough to figure it out. I've even seen them claim that they'd believe the truth if only there weren't some activist out there somewhere so said the wrong thing and therefore they're happy to cut off their entire head to spite their face.

progressive enhancement is possible with htmx (e.g. the hx-boost attribute is p/e friendly) but often requires thought by the programmer

for example, the active search example can be made p/e'd by wrapping the input with a form that submits to the same page:

https://htmx.org/examples/active-search/

but it requires work by the end developer

the idea here is to be pragmatic: obviously some people care deeply about p/e and are unwilling to sacrifice it for more advanced U/X, but others are willing to do so, so let's make it possible for both camps to improve their sites with the tool
>A lot of the drug safety education for alcohol boils down to knowing how much alcohol is in each drink, and that there's nothing else intoxicating in it.

A lot of drug saftey education for anything boils down to knowing how much of it is in each serving, and that there's nothing else surprising in it. Knowing your drugs are important whether that's ibuprofen, alcohol, MDMA, etc. Obviously, much more risky with recreational drugs with people looking to spike with other things for the pizzazz or cutting costs, or buying pharma drugs from less than reputible sources.

However, there were a rash of people getting sick/hurt from receiving alcohol from bars at resorts in Mexico. So edge cases are always going to be there.
I did this many years ago. It wasn't production code and I was prioritizing expediency. The class had rather complicated equals() semantics, I wanted "set" and "map" data structures, and I knew there would never be very many objects.
I was just pointing out that definitions can be really flexible. Sure, murder is a crime of intentionally killing someone. So if something is not a crime then it's not a murder. But since criminal law is vast and varied same deed in one country might be a crime and in other it is not. I used the word "murder" in non-US definition of what crime is. And pointed out that such actions are not a murder specifically in USA. Implying that with respect to other countries laws they might be. And they are.

And calling indiscriminately killing people "a foreign policy" and legal is another can of USA made worms.

If you don't like SPEC then look at workload benchmarks like video rendering or code compilation. The M series chips acquit themselves quite well.

> There are already PC laptops with 9+ hours of battery life

Not when they're actually doing anything. To compete with what the M series chips bring, you need a discrete GPU and a very hungry CPU. Such a machine does not get 9+ hours of battery life.

> The point is that we already had this. Both the CPU and GPU are competitive with existing CPUs and GPUs. Which is a first in a long time for anybody outside of AMD/Intel/Nvidia. But "competitive" and "dramatically better" are not the same thing.

Right, you already had something like this in multiple discrete components that consume a huge amount of battery life when cobbled together into one system. My entire point has been that the impressiveness of the M series chips comes from their efficiency and what they are able to do holistically in a single SoC.

> A lot of this is also attributable to how good Apple's marketing is

While metric vs imperial system can be discussed, the date format in American English is probably the worst thing.

The only way to cheat both English users is to keep YYYY-MM-DD format, which I have never seen misused.

Puerto Rico actually is on a plate boundary. Most of those earthquakes outline the Puerto Rico Trench -- a southward-dipping subduction zone at the edge of the Caribbean Plate (that wraps around to connect with both the strike-slip plate boundary to the west and the weastward-dipping Lesser Antilles subduction zone to the southeast).
you still have to compete with them though?
The edges of the habitable area should be treated as if they were hills getting gradually steeper.

Some of the illustrations are more realistic than others in this respect.

Yet they all have billion dollar+ market caps (Workhorse, Lordstown, etc...)

Credit cards are in a great position to get into this market since they can use your existing line of credit and don't require a new credit check in order to give you a loan. The Apple credit card is a great example, where now you can buy any apple products on a monthly payment plan with no interest and without any extra friction at check-out.

But I don't think most banks issuing credit cards are in this business yet. And of course making normal purchases on credit cards is a terrible way to "buy now pay later" because the interest rates are so ridiculously high.

It will be interesting to see if more banks get into this market seeing how successful Klarna, Affirm, etc. seem to be, because it does eat into their existing high interest rate profits on credit cards.
