Also worth mentioning that the Switch doesn't support IPv6 so if you're behind CG-NAT or have more than 1 console on your network (or want other services to use some of those ports), you're out of luck.
I'm a big fan of problem/solution format.

I.e. something like _"problem: suboptimal routing for upstreams in different datacenters; solution: additional role to separate primary and secondary upstreams"_.

Also I consider commit message as a message to someone who would deal with that piece of code maybe years from now. And he would wonder why these lines even exist, and if he can replace them with some new logic.
My favorite compromise is a search that takes a user right to the button, and or can initiate whatever it is.

Each search is an opportunity to build experience needed to use search less.

The buttons are there for those who want to run fast and or efficiently.

Doing that well is a lot of work, but it also delivers high value.

Going search only can be super lean, which has to be compelling. Everything costs something though, and the cost here is no user becomes adept. There is a permanently fairly high Ccost of interaction.

The Biggest Myth About P-Values
> Currently I have ads from Google AdSense on my site so there is a business model - to get great traffic and revenue from Google and then when the API is ready I could have subscription plans.

Yea just skip the ads and go straight to a subscription. It looks like garbage click farm sites. Ads are horrible and tech people disproportionately hate them. So if your goal is to make me think "is there an API?" then you can't look like that.

Look at Stripe/Plaid/etc to get an idea of what an API first sort of site would look like.

The big headline of plaid is "The easiest way for people to connect their financial accounts to an app" and the subtext is "get API key. click here". Don't bury your value proposition behind ads, especially when the ads google will place on your site are (a) competition or (b) spammy "CLICK HERE convert pdf now" type ads.

Visit your site via a public VPN on a clean browser without any google affiliation logged in or cookie'd. See what kind of ads actually show up. Do you want those on your site?

Nice initiative. Any exploration into funding publicly used software is a good thing.

May I suggest using the Business Source License as the basis for this instead of the Openfare Commercial License? This way older versions of software would revert to FOSS instead of staying non-free forever.

It has always struck me as an unlikely hypothesis. While I'm not a historian, I do get some insight into the Elizabethan period in particular by a very close familiarity with its plays. Shakespeare never mentions it, and he does talk about sleep quite a bit.

One example that comes to mind, from Henry V:

But, like a lackey, from the rise to set
Sweats in the eye of Phoebus and all night
Sleeps in Elysium

Hal doesn't say "All night sleeps in Elysium except for that bit where he wakes up in the middle of it". He's explicitly referring to untroubled, continuous sleep for most people (as compared to his own insomnia from worry about his kingdom).

I haven't done an exhaustive survey, but I don't believe Shakespeare characters ever wake in the middle of the night unless there is something to disturb them. They may drink late, or chimneys may come crashing down around them, but nobody ever says "Hey, see you in a few hours when we're both awake".

This is obviously far from conclusive. But the man writes about sleep often enough that I'd have expected at least some hint of it.

the point is not that there should be no special syntax, but that special syntax in these (functional) languages serves a more generic purpose, and isn't just for async.

Ocaml is actually the worst example because it has always relied on extensions to provide an alternative to Haskell's do notation.

> well, there's a third party library that only recently introduced let*

it won't change how you feel about it but `let*` is an syntax extension (ppx), kinda like babel transform. It has nothing to do with the third party library. What the library provide are async primitives, equivalent of the `q` package in nodejs
Ask HN: Would you pay for a fully encrypted Google Photos alternative?
Would you pay for a fully encrypted google photos alternative?

1. You could unlock it with your regular web2 way (Gmail, email-password, etc) or use your crypto wallet (==> complete privacy).

2. Photos would be encrypted and then distributed over IPFS --> No one except you can ever recover them

3. There'd be on-device ML features so that you could still get the useful features - search by person's face, search for a picture of church, etc.

What would tip you to leave Google Photos in favor of such a product?

Planes don't really do much filtering, and air "recirculating" in a plane is largely a myth.

Rather, some of the air going into the big fans of the engines is diverted into some air conditioning machinery that gets it to a comfortable temperature and humidity, and then pumped into the passenger compartment. In order to maintain the correct pressure, there are basically "leakage" valves that let air flow out of the plane. An airplane maintains pressure by balancing how much air is allowed out of that valve vs how much air is coming in through the AC machinery. The result is the vast majority of air inside of a plane at any time is air that was previously outside the airplane.

The flip side (of this specific example) is that several of those projects were either started or nearly exclusively funded by Apple.

- Mach's primary architect, Avie Tevanian, was hired by NeXT to productize it, and he continued that work at Apple with XNU and the OS X strategy to replace the classic MacOS

- Apple hired Chris Lattner after he finished his PhD (where LLVM was started) and then created Clang and open-sourced it, as well as other LLVM tools like libcxx

- Apple hired Michael Sweet (creator and maintainer of CUPS) and paid him to maintain it for several years

As you say, Apple's software wouldn't be where it is today without open source. But major open source projects either wouldn't exist at all (e.g., Clang) or would have needed someone else to pay for their maintenance (e.g., CUPS) without Apple.

I have nothing against this tool in particular;

I am however quite worried that this kind of tool will just enable this already terrible habit that a lot of developers have; which is to mindlessly commit changes and then make PRs full of "asdf", "typo", "fixing comma", "blaaaaa".

With this tool, these developers won't even have to waste time typing `git commit` and will happily submit PRs as a bunch of "autosaved" commits.

This further reduces git to being just a means to an end: the end being able to just mindlessly push code over a fence and see it magically deployed.

I always thought it was strange that people called red a warm color and blue a cold color although blue has a higher color temperature.

Then it hit me that the blue sky is actually cold, that is, the incoming energy flux of blue light is less than the black body radiation from the ground or your skin to empty space.

If you are in the shade on a hot day but can see the blue sky you radiate a significant amount of energy that makes you feel cooler.
Yes, the former. For instance, the Expanded Child Tax Credit, is extended for 1 year at a estimated cost of $190M if this were expanded to the 10 years the bill is supposed to be payed for, it would be larger than the entire bill is supposed to be.

>USA is however not subpar compared to any country hostile to corporations

The comment you're replying to didn't say anything about hostility to corporations, just hostility to unions, which are categorically not the same measurements. Germany, for example, is extremely pro-union while also being very pro-corporation. Their quality of life metrics are generally much higher than the US as well.

I think something like DOTA would be up there, if only because of the immense state space that you have the game and the ability to use your superior understanding of those options to come out ahead of your opponents. Raw mechanics are important at the highest levels, but you can get a lot of mileage through "out thinking" your opponents in draft, in itemization, and in general strategic decisions about what to do, where and when.

We decided to create a donation fund to support open-source projects that we depend on last year[1]. We rely heavily on PostgreSQL and so just today I was trying to find the best way to contribute to the development of Postgres.

I didn't find much beyond sponsoring official community events[2]. The impression I got was that there are no paid core developers for PostgreSQL, is that correct? If so, what's the best way to support the project financially?

> "white guilt" doesn't necessarily care if their ancestors did it.

Honestly don't know what you're getting at here. You're going to have to spell this one out to me.

> It's annoying and sigh-inducing to be reminded that such a movement is full of people that don't understand ... that "master" has plenty of perfectly good contexts

I don't disagree. See my comment about people engaging in performative outrage, it does exist. But in this case you're annoyed at the very sight of the word "main". Like ... c'mon

> Nobody is "really getting upset" and that entire part of your post is needlessly insulting.

Are you misunderstanding that "However if you're really getting upset ..." means "However you're truly getting upset ..." and not "You're getting really upset ..."? Additionally if you read my comment, I provide two interpretations:

1. they exclaim "WTF" when attacked for having named a branch "master" (IMO understandable)

2. they exclaim "WTF" at the very sight of a branch named "main" (IMO a bit silly)

I honestly don't know which is the right one. It is up to the commenter if they want to tell us which it is.

Update: and just like that this part of the thread has become the farce I feared it would, we are debating whether the words "main" and "really" are offensive. This is a very important thing to consider when answering the question "Why do new browsers use Chromium instead of Firefox as their base?"

> Currently we are looking into developing an OCR API. Would that be useful for you?

The above question is different from the below question:

> I own this website MyFreeOCR.com... I would like to get feedback

The feedback I have is (1) website is garbage - too many ads. Clearly not targeting devs who might want an API. (2) OCR API seems like a cool product. Focus on that. Privacy of my data if I call API? How is data trained? What language/alphabet/etc? How do I try it out ? What formats?

Bonus feedback, the best dev API sites are easy to see value proposition and easy to find API key + docs. Count clicks required to get API key + find template cURL copy/paste. And count discrete pages. Even if "coming soon" - show me the critical path today so I can find it later. If you want to start with an "upload a pic" site, still do above, but structure the upload tool as a "try out the API without needed to leave browser" where you upload a photo and can tune other params via web form.

PS. Lots of OCR api's exist, so it could be a cool project but what is your goals here? Do you want to startup? Why your tool and not BigCloud?

I'd argue that Vite's still pretty immature.

Democracy only works well if serving the people and giving them a strong voice and control accrues more power to the state than alternative forms of governance.

If the people, or more specifically the democratic majority, end up becoming more extractive than they are productive towards enhancing their state's power, then eventually some alternative organizing governance structure will emerge that accumulates power more effectively.

This isn't making an ethical judgement about one system or another, just an observation on what appears to be base level reality.
Yeah - they shouldn't use it as a tax while still in the early adoption phase.

But as costs of having power delivered to your home are rising even as the generation cost falls, it is important to have some kind of support for low income families.

There could be ways to lower the cost of the grid maintenance, but there's always going to have to be a connection fee.

The opportunities for our children is dwindling. I am a full time health care worker who works lots of overtime and I can not even come close to affording a house that fits me and my kids. I am desperately trying to save up but would need $100k to even get my foot in the door at today’s market. To hear you say you would want to cut your child off seems so foreign to me. I want to get ahead enough in life that I can leave my kids with something. That is why in fact I just 2 weeks ago saw a financial advisor and am working on getting life insurance. I want to make my kids life a little easier then mine and with the way things are every cent I can leave them will help a lot. Hard work is not enough to do well in life anymore. Trust me my next check has 157 hours of pay coming. I still am not financially well off.
True, but odds are by 2050 we will not have this mostly solved and we will still be arguing with each other about what's important when it comes to preserving the current climate vs adapting to a changing climate.

>It's amazing to me that someone this high profile and careless hasn't already been arrested

A decade ago my town used to have a gang which operated the largest mail order bride scam in the country, all victims in US and Europe, too (i.e. none in Russia), for the same reasons. Many people in the town knew what they did and who they were (I personally knew 1 guy from there) but no one reported them to police because no one would benefit from fighting them and being labeled a snitch, and the general attitude (excuse) was that Americans and Europeans are supposedly very rich (at least, by Russian standards) so them losing $1000 here or there wasn't considered a serious problem or some moral dilemma. Police didn't care because formally no one filed an official complaint.

However, there was some foreign victim who really valued his lost money. He somehow managed to contact Russian police and thanks to his efforts the gang was eventually busted red-handed, I remember there was a TV report about the raid. As it turned out, basically it was 20-30 students spread across several rented commieblock appartments full of PC's. They made many mistakes leaving traces of their real identities (just like the guy in the OP), the one guy I knew from there was also ~18 yo, a pretty inexperienced kid, even before the raid I had suspected it's not a serious mafia cell protected by the government or anything, just a bunch of opportunistic scumbags who abuse the inertia of our police and the legal/political/linguistic barriers between our countries. To scam people or spread ransomware, all you need is programming/social engineering skills and a PC. If you are lucky and/or determined, you can earn a lot of money by just having that, no government sponsorship is required. The fact that the hacker in the OP's post also lives in Siberia in a provincial town reminds me of that student gang from my town; you wouldn't expect high-profile hackers sponsored by the federal government to use the same password for all sites they visit.

I think we can see if they are protected by authorities if Interpol requests will be flat-out rejected.
So they had access to less power, but much stronger AI :)
