Biggest problem is that all those businesses you listed will balk at paying 1-2k for a website. Good luck convincing a hair salon owner why they need a website even for $500.

To start a web agency you need a network and connections to business owners or it's a real uphill battle doing it all cold. Or gotta just be really good at convincing people.

If I'm using the task runner for deployment, it doesn't need to have a sophisticated dependency graph, it "just" needs to be able to have a list of tasks that are declared as independent/parallelizable, and a way to specify how many to run at once.

Sophisticated dependencies are nice to have of course, maybe make push-all transitively includes building the thing locally, but it's still useful to have just the push step (or the reload step, etc), have optional parallelism. If you start to build a tool that does do these things first, in order; then these things in any order; then these other things, that does look a lot like Make. but if you just handle ordered steps and independent steps, and let a person do the mixing, then it's not nearly as much work as Make.

No, I've not thought about favicons. That's a really interesting challenge.

I wonder if there's a way to detect favicons just using JavaScript that runs against a page? Not sure if it's easy to detect /favicon.ico v.s. the various meta tags.

A lot of people are missing the bigger point here.

This person was just one who got caught. The likelihood that they’re the first one to think or do this is very low.

There are probably more sophisticated ways of using tech to cheat and I would be very surprised if they haven’t been employed in high stakes exams like this before.
> and set some puppet government in Kyiv

That's what I meant by taking over all of Ukraine. If Russia sets up a puppet government, then I expect further sanctions. Maybe they won't if a settlement is reached with the current government.
people like Andre have more kids, creating new Andre's. you need to help people like Andre to prevent it from continuing. Also "too expensive" is a pretty poor reason not to help. regardless whatever is being done is not working, its time to try new things (and imho that is UBI so people like andre have enough to have shelter and food if they so desire, or whatever they need)

This article appears to conflate the role of a pre-product/market fit startup (nailing the problem) with the role of a post-product/market fit startup (executing on a solution).

I disagree with “know what problem you’re solving exactly before you start a company”. The entire point of an early startup is working out exactly what problem to solve. A pivot is realising your hypothesis is flawed and redefining the problem based on some new information.

Great execution at the early stage is table stakes for survival.

I might guess they are referring to the Apple Pay signup, the Apple TV and Apple Arcade promotions which show up as settings notifications.
I strongly disagree. The US and Russia have all the agency here.

Ukraine is indeed a sovereign nation, but the US has full control of the arms flowing in, its ability to fight, and Ukraines NATO aspirations.

The US has the power to decide if Ukraine stands or falls. The US also has the power to to give Russia some or all of what it wants. Ukraine has very little say.

Show HN: I built an open-source web hosting platform for static sites
HI Hacker News!

I’m very excited to show you this project I have been working on, MarkdownSite.com.

For folks who interact with the website, it is a web hosting platform where you can add your repository and have a website built from the `public/` directory. Files in `site/` with an `.md` extension are rendered from markdown to HTML, and the website is then available at a random subdomain.

For folks that set up their own instance, it can also become a framework for customized building. The entire project is open source and I tried my best to document and explain the structure of the machines and how they interact in various mermaid graphs in the readme files under the `devops/` folder.

There is still a lot of work to be done, I hope that you find this useful. It's been super fun to work on!
Super useful! Bookmarked this for future reference. The graphics help a lot to understand the intentions and use case for each pattern.

This is pretty random and I realize your concern is safety for your family and the following point will do nothing to address that.

I just wanted to say, when I was a kid I saw a lot of homelessness and I think it helped foster some sense of humanity. One thing I still think about from time to time. I saw a kid, around the same age as me at the time, with no hands begging for money. I distinctly remember this feeling of "that could very easily be me, just a few variables different".

I guess the reason I'm saying this is as a parent, I don't wont to hide this from my kid. And this is not to say that I think your comment was to hide this from your kids. This is just what I thought about after reading it. It just gave me a lot to think about and I am not sure of a way to safely do this but I think its important. This is the system we actively participate in and endorse in one way or another. I don't want my kid to look away at the ugly parts.
Would be kind of fun to write JavaScript that runs against the page that first looks for the meta tags, then tries to fetch("/favicon.ico") and returns either the URL or a base64 encoded copy of the image (since the "shot-scraper javascript" command requires you to return JSON).

Very impressive results, nice work!
I actually suspect it would be a lot easier to support 15kW of power in my home than 15 kW of cooling.

I know several people with 2x 240V 32A 3-phase in their garage, that's 20+ kW at any reasonable power factor. But a 15 kW cooler that would work in summer would annoy the hell out of any neighbours living closer than a mile.
What would make you think that? The supply of doctors is artificially restricted in every country that I know of; it's pretty much a universal mark of privilege. In the United States, residency spots basically don't grow and it's very good for over-allocating doctor's salaries. Same in Germany, where they love their well-paid doctors and big hospitals.
I mean, this is not that much different than Microsoft pushing sky drive, cortana, edge, etc. wherever they can in Windows.

I run Windows inside Qubes for work and get by well, but of course I took the time to learn how to do that and have a beefy workstation. I also don't have any special requirements for GPU acceleration or other hardware usage.

Not at all bogus. If "eroding trust in stdlib as a stable baseline" is an important issue to you, then you can do something about it by helping provide the resources that allows old modules to be kept.

Core language backwards compatibility is a non-issue. Approximately zero percent of maintenance costs go towards that.
They might get it later but I'm pretty sure they will get it eventually, given that enterprise versions eventually got bloatware like candy crush.

I think the classic truism that you are either the customer or the product is outmodded. Companies are normalizing double-dipping and making you a product even when you are paying them.

Side effects that target on non local dir seems shouldn't be included in the build step. It should be in a standalone script/ target/whatever. Or the build process will not be reproducible at all.
Re

> dramatically reduce world hunger is a direct consequence of humans' capacity to improve crop yields such as rice and corn through breeding and engineering.

and

> the technical plant wizardry that prevented the starvation of millions of people.

What exactly are you referring to?
In my mind, crop domestication and selective breeding is what allowed population growth, not what prevented starvation.
In other words, population grew thanks to the increase in production, rather than the increase coming to combat decline.
Was that a wrong notion?
I've come to this conclusion too. 1996 was the year of the Linux desktop. But... there's more to the story. In 1996 Linux was a clone of Unix, because there were still Unixes out there (HP-UX, SCO, etc.) that were charging $xx,000/seat. Everything good about Linux was taken from Unix.
This put Unix vendors out of business, which is unfortunate because after that, Linux had nothing left to copy from. There were no new ideas from industry. Instead, it became design-by-committee and first-come-first-serve. That's why it's taken so long for X11 to be replaced by Wayland. Many internet flame wars had to happen before Wayland was uncontroversial enough to be included.
Yup, that does seem to be the most likely reason they cast women for the presentation instead of men.
>you're making some pretty wild assumptions about how it compares to wars that are much longer running.

This is wrong, there is a casualty count timeline over the course of each of the listed conflicts. They are not exact but the range is worth comparing.

>Also this 'post your sources' for stuff that you know is going to be impossible to do accurately is not in good faith.

It's not impossible, they made a claim and I want to see the sources that led them to the conclusion. This is pretty normal in fact based discourse.
Sewage treatment plants need to start creating fertilizer. Example: https://www.cleanwatergrow.com/
> Then, patients received a first 40 minute intravenous infusion of ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) or placebo 0.9% (saline solution) in addition to their current treatment.

This really shouldn’t be labeled as double blind.

1.The nurse administering knew if it was placebo or active (for safety reasons).

2. It would immediately become obvious to the subject if they were injected with salt water or ketamine.

3. Within minutes it would become obvious to everyone in the room if the patient was injected with salt water or ketamine.

Some trails are impossible to be double blind. That’s okay, there are other ways to address concerns of internal validity. Pretending like this trail is double blind does not address any internal validity concerns, and only raises concerns about the researchers understanding of experimental design.
> [..] prevented the starvation of millions of people.

There seems to be a logical mistake. Food production is not primarily to fight starvation. Because of the increase in available food millions of new people exist. Without it they wouldn’t have existed hence not starved either. Humans, just like animals, adapt to their surroundings. With more available food the populations grows, with less it shrinks.
San Francisco has a lower violent crime rate than Houston, Dallas, Washington D.C., and Miami.

Is it possible that these other cities also have violence, but it is just happening out of sight, creating a general feeling of ‘this is a safe city’ for visitors?

Wow indeed. That’s incredibly slimy.
Russia, like the US/Canada, China, India, Australia and Brazil, maybe some others, have enough natural resources, manufacturing and skills that they could on-shore the great majority of things. Granted, probably none would have a best in class of much, but they could still be pretty independent. China has some mineral dependencies and India, Russia and Brazil might have some semiconductor dependencies, but they could come up with 1990 to 2000s versions of most semiconductors --and that's probably good enough.

Japan, Britain, France, Germany, etc. probably either don't have enough consumer manufacturing or natural resources to survive independently.
I'm curious what this "micro bluetooth" device looks like.
> Why do you call out YC specifically?

They run a massive social media site (HN is that massive). It's why you and I are here. It's why on Twitter this place is known as "That Orange Place", and YC, and HN.

And, because of their clout, they SHOULD be leading the way on ethical venture capital.

And by shoving the Overton Window more towards ethical VC funding, and denouncing shitty companies when they start to engage in unethical or borderline-illegal behavior, they can be the trend-setters in aiming the trajectories of what SV and other high tech areas are.
Shrug. They're fine. It's not hard to ignore that stuff. Honestly Apple's constant iCloud storage notifications are more annoying than pop-ups in the Galaxy Store you'll probably never visit anyways.
There are institutions that are absolutely filled with these kinds of people. It's pretty much a feature, not a bug, at those places. They perceive themselves as "hustlers" and that everyone else is doing it more than them.
It's worse on the West coast, for sure, but crime is way up in NYC and other East Coast cities too. It know it's somewhat gauche to point out the obvious, but cities and locations that have taken anti-police measures are tending to see the highest increases in crime.
There are always different preferences on deciding when something needs to be run again. File modification time is a reasonable default that serves many (most?) cases pretty well.

Yes, file hashes might be another way. On the other hand, if I modify a comment, the file hash will change, but re-compilation is not necessary. In this case, you might need yet another way...

You can always write your Makefiles to compute and depend on hashes or whatever else you might consider appropriate for your exact use case.
Because I'm not in the mood for someone to call a cry for help from a victim in Ukraine "superficial" and blanket statements that Russia means no harm ("There is zero evidence that Russia plans or wants to invade a NATO member") and then saying we should just stick our head in the sand ("isolationist attitude") when clearly Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union and has rejected capitalism in his own country, leaving socialism as the most likely choice. Everything old is new again.
I don't want to generalize too much, but I find it interesting I only see this unholy triumvirate affecting my white collar friends. My working class friends seem relatively free of most of this baggage. Their social media use is contained to people they know on facebook, they never stopped going bowling and to the bars, even during the pandemic, and they have a surprisingly robust family/friend/church support group and don't seem as socially isolated. They have their own problems, for sure, but tragic feelings of anomie don't seem to be one of them.
The fact that MacOS can't be purchased separately doesn't make it free.
I've logged in to MS Teams and instead of the web app, I get a landing screen asking me if I want to install the desktop app. Powershell also contains a URL-shortener link to their documentation.
I don't doubt it's worse now, but as someone who lived a few blocks from that area for about ~5 years (2014-2019), I'm skeptical that the presence of office workers or tourists was really dissuading crime in a meaningful way. It seemed to keep getting worse even when the city was packed was people. The 9-5 thing was annoying from a quality of living perspective, but as far as I can tell Bellevue is the same way, and they didn't have nearly the level of street crime of Seattle. I've come to the conclusion that police presence and enforcement is the only thing that would make a dent a this point.
!!! Street signs, right into your bedroom !!!

I can't help but see the end of a cycle here.
I wager this guy is fielding calls from screenwriters about now. This would be a good comedy.
There's a lot of weird edge cases for favicons, most browsers fall back to just looking for /favicon.ico if you don't explicitly specify it in the meta tags, and if you do, there's sometimes different versions.

Yeah, maybe it's a pipe dream :-/ But even without them, it looks really useful!
Building more jails shouldn't be necessary — but yes. Offer the choice of jail or rehab. (This is what e.g. Michael Shellenberger is calling for, as well as recovered drug addicts I know and respect.) This is has a dramatically better chance of saving the addict than does the status quo of bouncing them back from death with Narcan so they can do the same thing tomorrow… and the day after… and the day after… until they die.
He'd been taking the test for 11 years, that seems like allowing them to fail honestly.
> TV is solved, pay the subscription (in majority of cases).

This doesn't really work. Paid Cable/Satellite TV has ads all over the place. Even the extra premium channels will put cross promotion between the shows to fill the time slots. Paid streaming has cross promotion on almost all services, and some services have actual ads even when you paid (sometimes there's a higher tier you can pay for which has fewer ads). Of course, paying for content on disc, when available, doesn't prevent ads either.
Good take.
This made me thing of all the GOogle failures in a different light. It isn't just that they abandon users. They also crush competitors in the initial phase (by being free, or generally having Google branding), only to pull the plug. We often talk about the users left with having to find an alternative, but not the competitors they crushed along the way.
This has been hitting me hard lately in my late 20s. I'm realizing all of the cool "new" concepts I'm learning have been around since the 60s

It's made me rethink the supposed "skill reset" that happens in software which leads to software developers leaving for other roles more often than other engineering disciplines.
The best way to tackle that specific problem i've found is by applying Geoffrey Moore's advice in crossing the chasm: slice the market in niches of customers. And then make sure you have the best possible solution for that niche.

Customers want a complete solution for their use case, but not all customers are the same, and not all use cases are the same.

Say you want to create a sports tracking app. You can focus on all sports, or just a few, you can focus on all forms of one sport, or just one particular.
While you want to do your best, the key is to remember that the world is not going to come to an end if you fail that interview. For me, becoming too results oriented (am i going to get this job mindset) vs process oriented (how do I get better at interviewing and take each interview as a practice session) helped.
Is it easy in practice? No, especially when you know you could double your comp in certain companies and you can feel your opportunity slipping away during a bad interview but the worst case is that you go back to your cushy job and your family still loves you.
