No, I meant, they make it look like you could do this all easily without external clouds, but then the Identity-server, which I cannot imagine to be much more complicated w.r.t. functionality that e.g. a Samba4 AD-DC, is/was(last time i checked) basically undocumented and looked intentionally overbuilt (again, comparing with e.g. Samba4-AD). And not open-source (iirc).
Also, why can't I use a standard Directory Server, instead of their home-built one-off-solution?
This is awful advice. Go to the highest ranked university[1] you can get into and afford because for the rest of your life, people will assume a lot about you based on that choice. It will open more doors than you expect. Your friends will be smarter and more successful too.

[1] Not literally THE highest ranked. There’s reasons to go to UPenn instead of Harvard, but if you get into Harvard and go to a state school instead, you might be screwing up.
it's cheaper to run your app on the client than the server i guess.

I really like Firefox but have recently started using Edge a lot more because Firefox is unable to do virtual backgrounds in Google Meet. At first I tried to run 2 browsers, Edge for meetings and Firefox for everything else but that got cumbersome and frustrating. Clicking into a meeting invite would open in the wrong browser (if FF was the default browser) or constantly copying & pasting links to open them in FF.

I was hoping Camo would eventually add in virtual backgrounds to their app but it hasn’t happened yet. Would love to ditch Edge/Chromium.
I use firefox and don't see broken sites per se, but there are many sites where performance, especially js performance, suffers. Gmail and other Google sites are sluggish for example, as well as Amazon. It sometimes takes a minute after visiting amazon.com for their js to initialize and I can begin to interact with the site. This is not the case for chromium. I stick with firefox because of multi-account containers, a mobile app that I can add adblockers to, and multi-device sync that works well with linux and android, but performance lags and it's getting worse.
This is a massive factor in marine economics too.

Because the disposal costs are so high, and recycling of specialist
equipment and wiring so complex the point at which a vessel turns from
an asset to a liability may be hard to anticipate.

There are lots of "luxury" yachts and "Gin palaces" out there that
seem to be worth millions on paper, but are worth net zero. Many have
embedded trackers deep in fibreglass mouldings, and large vessels are
satellite tracked so simply scuppering them is no longer an option.

During the pandemic there was lots of talk of mooring many cruise
ships along the south coast and turning them into permanent hotels.
Ships often end up as nightclubs or restaurants.
The same principle applies. It is still a prerequisite that that person needs to have the base of their piramid of needs covered in order to even think about investments or being enterprisey. Increase the quality of life of the population and you will get more of it.

As opposed to one assigned on the basis of a self-declared MAC address?

I find it much more odd -- if not surprising, particularly in the pager era -- that the whole thing, every component of it, was completely locked in to one vendor. Not just the VAX cluster and the PCs, but even the network protocol.

This was not unusual decades ago, but it was always insane.
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad to discover there's overlap, even if small, with your thinking.

I was not aware of the Memex, and I will definitely dive into it right away.

Regarding the concept of "document" I should maybe make it clearer that a document does not need to contain any text. Photos, images, videos, music, multimedia experiences, … are also first-class documents in a Personal File System. As such, the considerations about text vs markup would form a subset of the general problem of separating meaning from form, which I don't really address.

And another distinction I'd preserve is that the Personal File System focuses first and foremost on filing an average user's own production of documents and the immediate exchanges with their entourage (friends and family), as opposed to "things seen on the web" or the production of scientific communities. Those also belong in the Personal File System, but do not drive or define its utility.

You're going to put off UK customers having language icons, with English with a USA flag and Welsh with a UK flag. Many people who speak Welsh would probably rather associate Welsh with the Welsh flag. Likewise it's confusing or sometimes annoying to see English listed with the USA flag. I would honestly recommend not having flags for languages because this probably isn't the only such issue. Languages are not countries.
I had quite a few but only a handful I remember as it was yesterday almost 20 years after finishing the school.

1st English teacher: she was awesome. She was relaxed, cool,and even took us to her allotment on a hot spring day and bought ice-cream for all of us.

2nd English teacher: she was self important, a bit arrogant and claimed that her husband's salary is for the family,while hers is for her only:) Despite all of this,she was a really good teacher.

1st math teacher: she could easily run a battalion, wouldn't take any hostages either. Nobody was messing up with her,she was strict but fair and because of my behaviour I had a permanent seat at the front row for a few years:)

2nd math teacher: was strict but also knew how to throw jokes around.

Russian language teacher: nobody was messing up with her,she knew how to have a complete order in a classroom. Didn't learn shit thought because I hated the language.

Lithuanian language teacher: she was a bitch, toxic and spiteful. Nobody has ever liked her.

Religion studies teacher: whilst the subject was a complete nonsense for a young atheist like me, the teacher was super cool and everyone liked her. A friend once showed up completely drunk for the lesson,she didn't even kick him out.

Physics teacher: he used to come to school wearing flipflops, didn't give a shit about much, showed up drunk at some teachers event and was mocking the higher ups behind their backs. He used to give decent grades to those who just didn't want to study and then focused on those who were interested.

3rd English teacher: this guy was from New Jersey as part of the peace corps. Having an American in your class during '90s was quite something and was really interesting to listen how's life on the other side of the pond. The last time I checked he's doing some missions in Africa nowadays.
Luna had nothing to do with 20% returns

TerraUSD yielded 20% returns on anchor

Luna gave staking yield. It received a portion of transaction fees off the Terra network, that was what created demand for Luna - if you thought transactions on Terra were going to increase and therefore give increase yield in the future

Of course there simply wasn't enough demand to offset the terrible peg mechanism

Now think about every other field where "Scientific Consensus" has replaced "Repeatable Experiments" as the gold standard for "Truth": the politics are there, just maybe a little less contentious at the moment.

I'd love to "follow the Science" but there's so little of it left.
Very geography dependent, but e.g. in the Nordics waste heat is a resource. This is why we burn our combustible trash instead of putting it in landfills.

Unfortunately, for most of the year the same wouldn’t we viable in California, and I guess the investment costs make the whole thing unprofitable.

Guys, Alireza here, another cofounder of Selldone.
Thanks for your valuable feedback. According to the demands from our merchants, we just added languages( beta mode ) and are still working on them to become closer to the language that local persons speak and write. The flag issue you mentioned will be resolved ASAP. Once again thank you for the guide.

Please feel free to drop your comments here. Selldone can show its real values once the customers are happy, not unhappy.
Evidently it doesn't.
I feel like I've visited countless websites which employ some of these, for no good reason.
It's not really necessary to go 4-slot air cooler when you've got water cooling.
Feedback:

The website, and idea seems interesting caught my attention, but I would say:

1. Like many have iterated, the website looks very busy.

2. The website layout and brand is good, but there is too much animations, and also UI is sometimes inconsistent.

3. Selldone as a name is not that interesting, but BusinessOS is very on point.

4. After going to the blog there was so much generic information that I didnt want to click on anywhere.

5. Pricing lists too many features, rather compress features into categories.

6. The animations are annoying, especially the navigation animations.

7. Cutting down on your customer target is better in the long-run. Focus on one or max two customer target, than focusing on everyone. You can't solve everyones problems, especially if you have not solved yours.
For me at least its due to JavaScript having more mindshare so it’s easier to hire people to work on both the front and backend if they’re both written in JS.
asos.com did not work properly on FF until recently. Opening some categories would yield an "oops" error. Seems it's fixed in the latest release, but it goes to show how fucked up is webdev if nobody from asos.com tested it with Firefox.
Anything has more privacy than a google product. Firefox/mozilla at least have products adjacent to their browser so its believable they aren't only sustaining by selling peoples personal information to the nearest data broker.

> Governments want to regulate big tech, not break it up.

Correct. And I think they would rather do the former, but consider the
latter a "nuclear option". In either case though, my key point is that
they don't understand the problem. It is much more complex than a
simple, traditional economic model of ownership as power. That's what
the project is aimed at determining and explaining.
I do not know how to directly manipulate the container, but I think what you can do is, that you open a new tab of another container and copy paste the URL there. Then you can set it to always open the domain in that container, effectively changing the container. Not sure how to remove a domain from all containers though.

I think I get why people like it. (I am starting to like it and am falling down the NextJS Tailwind SSR rabbithole)

React is a decent framework conceptually and more importantly it has become a defacto standard for UI development in JS. On top of that the sheer amount of React support in terms of components, tooling and learning resources is immense.

NextJS says “use what you already know and use on the backend (React), and not only that we will make it seemless to use the exact same code to render an initial paint for time to render/seo as you do for live updates, and we will chuck in static site generation for free”.

Tailwind is another thing that seems really really odd, until you use it and then it seems brilliant. In a nutshell it is css classes like “m-1” for a small margin.

It would be awful for a handcrafted static site, but it works great with React because it plays well with componentizing code. If skeptical read their site where they address the obvious reasons for being skeptical.
There is no way any institution powered by humans can be trusted to sit on a couple of billion (or trillion) dollars in liquid assets and leave them alone for long periods of time. Are they trustworthy today? Maybe. 10 years? Maybe. 30? No. 100? Very emphatic no.

Some bright spark will notice that they don't need all these untouched reserves and will do something with them, increasing the risk and, eventually, getting hit with a bank run.

Yeah, that's the most immediate thing to try, but unfortunately, that doesn't work for some reason.
It is roughly half of the pixel count, as the Bayer interpolation gives better resolution than a naive conversion. Also, a lot of detail is in the green channel, which is registered by half of the total pixels.
You don't seem to understand how road damage scales with vehicle weight. My car weighs somewhere between the smart and the prius so let's take the average which is 0.20 (wouldn't surprise me if this is 2x more road damage than I actually do). The Chevy Tahoe weighs less than your truck and is at 3.57 or 18 times worse. I have driven 100k miles over eight years which is five times more than you, what a coincidence 0.2 times 5 is 1.0 which means you did 3.57 times as much road damage as me. If we accurately weighed our vehicles I am sure that number could go up to 7 and higher. What really annoys me about your comment is all the virtue signalling you do. Ignorance is not a get out jail card.

Spanish translation is also bad. I suggest to remove all the translated versions.
Although Firefox had profiles for ages and you could start Firefox with the profile manager and "new instance allowed" to choose a profile at the start of each new instance. More hidden then in Chromium, but definitely possible.

EDIT: Just for completeness sake, here is the command to open Firefox with profile manager and new instances:

firefox --new-instance --ProfileManager %u
Exact reason why I asked :) Thanks for the response & all the work you're putting in, it looks really promising.
There's not really a death spiral mechanism for DAI. DAI's reserves are all auditable and on-chain. Anyone can verify if it is or isn't overcollatoralised at any time.

Theoretically a big enough crash could cause the collateral to drop faster than liquidations happened, and that could cause a run on DAI to cash out the collateral that's left before it runs out
The term "Server Side Rendering" generally refers to client-side frameworks which have been adapted to server-side. These have been nearly entirely JavaScript for obvious reasons.

Frameworks that generate HTML on the server side have been around a long time, but are mostly not considered in this category. I would say though there are a decent number of modern ones in the "static site generator" category that exist in many languages.

It makes sense to me that in the current iteration of web tech that the client code and the server code be mostly in JavaScript since it allows for a single code base between the front and backend. There is definitely hope for other languages in this space though as WebAssembly gains more traction.

As for the bundle size of an app, it's not too surprising that a bespoke app would be smaller than a modest framework. Choosing a framework will always be a trade-off of size, complexity and whatever features the framework offers.

I think wether you see it as "suck" depends on how much you love or hate JavaScript and how tolerant you are to using modestly large frameworks. Mostly, I see the modern crop of JS frameworks as a breath of fresh air compared to what precedes them, though the complexity of what is imported when running an `npm install` is enough to give me pause and a wish for something more minimal.
Hey Veltas,
Thanks for the feedback. Since this is our first launch with a wide range of languages, the only way to improve it, is hearing and implementing.
Nice animations, you probably worked a lot on them :)

I just went through a month-long process of creating a front-page animation for my Lunar app (https://lunar.fyi) and wanted to share some drawbacks that users will be experiencing:

1. A lot of CPU usage because of constantly re-rendering the DOM
2. Choppy animations on Safari and older computers because main thread is blocked often
3. Battery drain and device heating up because of #1
4. Distraction from the text content because of too many moving things on some scenes

I can’t figure out what animation library you used, but I started with anime.js, animating an SVG. Then because of the above issues, I ended up rendering the animation to a compressed video and using that as the background of the website.

Rendering a video is efficient and more battery friendly than re-computing fast DOM changes, mostly because of the hardware decoding capabilities of modern devices. But not all animations can be recorded, and there are other things to consider as well (encoder, size, fps, compression quality etc.)

I also tried using the WebAnimations API which shouldn't block the main thread, but Safari is lagging behind on this one. You can especially notice how “not smooth” the animations on this site are: https://motion.dev/guides/quick-start#animatable-values
I had one or two the put the effort in but most of them were summer enthusiasts rather than people interested in educating anyone.

To be fair, in recent years they have pulled several pedophiles out of my former high school, my friends and I felt a weird vibe from some of the teachers so I guess at least some of them were more interested in the kids than I originally assumed.

Ask HN: Querying Stripe data with natural language?
Hi HN,

I'm excited to build something for the new Stripe Apps marketplace and landed on the idea of a tool to query your Stripe data using natural language instead of SQL (e.g. asking "How many customers are on annual subscriptions?" rather than writing a SQL query). Seems like it could be useful for users who don't know how to code in particular.

This isn't a Show HN as I'm at the discovery stage here so I just thought I'd ask here if people would envision this being useful in their companies.

Gmail, other than being sluggish on FF, its browser history (back button) is broken on Firefox (though gmail's keyboard shortcuts still work).
To your second question about the app size vs. framework/library sizes:

Frameworks and libraries provide generalised solutions to some common problems. In react and react-dom's case it's defining a ui in a declarative and more or less performant(wihtout making the dev think too much about it) way. The downside is; it includes lots of things your app doesn't need but other apps do.

The alternative is to roll your own but if your solution did all the things that the X framework did; then you'd end up with a similar size/complexity. You can build the features only needed by your app; but then I can't imagine the amount of engineering hours wasted for every apps custom framework.

And nowadays ~110kb is not that big of an application really. It might be really complex in terms of concepts and what it does but current day apps are a lot bigger than that in terms of size. So the size of frameworks doesn't make that much of a difference in most cases. For example the app I'm working on in my job has a total bundle size of ~15mb minified excluding any third party code. This is just the code written and being actively used by us. We don't serve it all at once and load as needed but still.
Also another thing.

If you want to target corporate customers, try not to post memes. If you want to target mom pop shop, then you maybe can do it, but don't over do it.
At this point professional trader groups are doing it. Sam Bankman Fried got super rich super fast (faster than if he just made an exchange without using the trading data that he’s getting from it), I wouldn’t be suprised if he would be behind a big short like this.

Insider trading securities is illegal in US, but probably not in Bahamas, where FTX is located.
I think a couple of million would do it. I'm in Europe and that'd be enough to have a comfortable not complicated life.

I used Firefox for some years after being a Chrome user since it was released.

Firefox had some kind of glow up years ago, with Quantum, but that didn't hold for long.

A few years ago I switched to Brave and am pretty happy with it.

It has a Chromium base, but without Google's shenanigans. The integrated adblocker even makes it feel a bit more responsive.

Also, it comes with IPFS, Onion, and crypto wallet out of the box. Which isn't for everyone, but in my case it was a pretty nice cherry on top.
