Show HN: Webhooks for Strava
Strava doesn't provide a way for getting webhooks from your activities, so I wrote up a little application to do just that.

Using:

- Tailwind

- Sveltekit

- Netlify

- Firebase/Firestore

Check it out and let me know what you think. I don't have any expectations that Strava won't break it or keep me at the 1000 requests/day quota, but hey it was fun to make!

That’s just another restatement of your belief that you shouldn’t have to pay taxes.

But I’ll add that claiming you have to work for free for part of the year is a silly way of looking at at. You’re never forced to work for free for even a single hour! You just have to pay a fixed percentage of your hourly wage in taxes, an arrangement which has been in place across every developed country for many decades.

I think it makes sense for some segments of the programming world and not others.

On Google Earth, garbage collection pauses weren't really acceptable, but we also wanted to add new functionality without being slowed down. Rust is great for a lot of reasons, but as many know, it can be slower on the feature velocity front.

In some AAA games, they need much more flexibility than the borrow checker thinks is appropriate. At some point, one has so many unsafe blocks that undermine the guarantees of surrounding code, that it makes more sense to use a different paradigm.

I know it's taboo to say this, but in many real world use cases, memory safety bugs aren't that bad and have the severity of any other logic error. Having a few more bugs per release might be worth it, if it means not dealing with the borrow checker's restrictions around abstraction, encapsulation, and polymorphism. You just fix them and push a new release.

Also, the problem is nicely mitigated by tools like Address Sanitizer, and will get even better with upcoming advances such as memory tagging and generational references, all which detect memory problems with surprising efficacy and accuracy.

In short, manual memory management is the right choice when Rust's drawbacks are a bit too much, and benefits aren't enough, for a particular situation.

Just my two cents!
For open contribution projects, you can't use this because it's trivial to slip in something malicious.

For projects with trusted contributors only, PRs are usually approvable anyway, a one bit blackbox signal telling you some of them are (with zero explanation, it seems?) isn't very valuable.

Not sure why you would use this.

Not to mention that Einstein had a fairly stable, stress-free job that paid the bills and even allowed him some extra time to moonlight his ideas with various friends from the university and work on his doctorate. These same people want to pay people as little as possible and make them work as hard as possible, cut the social safety nets, not pay for national infrastructure like healthcare, education, and transportation, and retreat to their $250 million mansions--of which Bezos himself could afford one thousand--and fuck off to space. Tell us more about all those latent Einsteins, oh exalted one!

I think tabs are handier exactly because they don't have a fixed width. You can adjust code easily to your readability preference without actually having to change the code. Some people like deep indents, others like them more shallow. Just modify the tab width to your personal preference.

Also, it avoids the issue of only accepting 2 or 4 spaces, leaving the 1,3,5 spaces as incorrect combinations leading to issues. With tabs there are no combinations which are invalid, though you can still have too many or few indents than intended of course. But the hunting for that extra space you copied in is gone.

I just don't subscribe to the 'tabs are evil' narrative. I like that python supports them but I think it's really annoying that YAML doesn't.

The argument of "each editor does things differently" is also not really valid when you're going to need a special editor that can convert tabs to spaces and delete spaces in bunches to really work with it comfortably. It would have been much easier to just use an editor that handles tabs in the way that was needed. Either way you're going to want specific editor features.
I'm not sure about med school, but grad schools are notoriously flexible. Send an email to the biochem program and ask.
Yes, Vitalik has proposed calling smart contracts “persistent scripts” instead. It’s the trustless execution on-chain that makes them unique to other programs.

Whether or not they existed in other forms doesn’t change the argument that they are unique to crypto as of roughly 7 years ago and have made a huge impact on the ecosystem.
That has downsides. Autonomous driving needs to be 1% net better. Less driving has up sides, but also downsides, and it’s not clear how to do a net comparison there. But yeah, if it is net positive, we should do that too.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep that in mind as this is built out. Fortunately the initial bootstrapping uses data from the Internet Archive and the crawls afterwards is to check for updates (at a reasonable rate). The number of URLs being hit is much much lower in the end than you would think.

The whole identity thing was really more of a suggestion than final tool in GitTorrent. Chris Ball also has done some work more recently with Keybase, but not in connection to GitTorrent and Keybase post Zoom is dead, but that sort of solution would probably fit. Certificate Transparency is popular. Alas, projects like Google Keyserver went archived: that'd be a great way to publish a key & validate it across time.

I don't believe there's any creative MITM attacks on BitTorrent we have to worry about. The content has to hash out.

In general I dislike this form of post, where there's a scattershot litany of non-backed up complaints & concerns, a big blast of naysaying. I don't think anyone is compelled to fully accept, but immediately polarizing yourself against something so heavily, so quickly, & not admitting some possibility: it's a existentially risky doubt-monster of humanity's, this pervading doubt. Please try to show some balance, some recognition of upsides, share a little bit that you think positivity might be possible.

Scalpers can't really be driven out of business because it's fundamentally just arbitrage. If an arbitrage opportunity goes away, they'll go away, but they'll come back as soon as the opportunity returns.

Even if the price moves suddenly and they're forced to take a haircut, the low barrier to entry means other resellers can enter the market.

That is many big words to be so blind. A big brain does not make a person immune to poverty or war. If a person does not believe maximizing economic growth (as measured by GDP and/or the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average) is the most holy of missions, then I suppose their genetics are just too impure.

I am not a serious wrestler, but I do not want the government instituting genetic programs as a final solution to a perfect society.
Don't waste my tax dollars in such ineffective measure.
That would be my thought as well. I'm originally from NZ so there's negligible private schooling, the curriculum is standardized, and obviously the country does a much better job at looking after people on lower rungs of the social ladder.

Public schools in NZ are also forbidden from what NZ calls "zoning" which I think in the US is explicit and mandatory through school districts - e.g. the exact opposite.

Despite that, public schools get some reasonable portion of their funding from the council/city/region/district/etc so a public school in a rich neighborhood generally has more funding. The next biggest source of funding is community/parent groups doing fund raising and what not - school fund raisers are common in NZ - but that again means a school in a richer area ends up having more resources.

The end result is that even in a country where there's negligible private school, schools are explicitly prohibited from restricting enrollment geographically, there's a significant difference in outcomes for rich neighborhood school vs poor.
Obviously NC is a completely different environment, so it doesn’t even make sense to compare.

But I think the fair weather of the west coast absolutely hurts the homeless more. In Boston, they have a “right to shelter” law that will house people, even in hotel rooms. SF weather is so nice that people don’t feel bad about letting people stay on the street.

Boston actually has more homeless people (with a similar total population) than SF - but almost all of them are “sheltered” and off the street. Boston has a 97% shelter rate, SF has 40%. NYC has a much bigger population (and more absolute homelessness), and a sheltered rate of 95% - due to similar “right to shelter” laws. Even Chicago has a meager 72% shelter rate.

So to go short a crypto token you’ve actually got a lot of options. If you want to do size call up the nice folks at e.g. Wintermute and borrow from their OTC desk.

On a more retail scale you’re sort of gambling on the liquidity of an exchange, but if you want to hedge that buy puts on CoinBase or whatever.

The most liquid instrument in which you can go directionally short at retail size is a “perpetual swap”, which is kind of like a future but with important differences that are better explained elsewhere.

You can definity short XYZ coin if you want, and you can definitely hedge against the liquidity of the counter party at least roughly.
It’s a good question.

The reason that GDP growth is so important is because it raises the standard of living for those who aren’t yet born. If you accept the premise that lives in the future matter just as much as those today, then the vast majority of human lives are yet to be born and therefore deserve consideration about what to do __today__.

Even small changes in GDP growth (e.g. 1-2% per year) has dramatic compounding effects over a multi decade timeframe.

For a great book on this, I recommend Tyler Cowen’s Stubborn Attachments which discusses the ethics of economic growth: https://press.stripe.com/stubborn-attachments

With around 6,300 people per km2, "it is similar in terms of population density to San Francisco. In Tokyo’s 23 wards, however, the density is 15,381 people per km2, making it 50% higher than New York City as a whole."

Not only will you not own anything, but from an early age we’ll enslave your mind and control your attention span. We have industries of people working day in, day out to perfect this formula. We will blame any concern or problem you have on a regular rotation of mental health issues that we devise and concept, and that doctors will prescribe you a rotation of pills for in tandem. If you have a problem, we will have an answer, prepackaged and ready to go, agreed upon by the most trusted expert minds today. When you get out of line, we will shun you, and concern troll you until you either fall in line, or commit suicide. We will take away religion and community and substitute it with goals, myths, ambitions, and narratives of our own making. We will tell you what to believe and who your God is. We will put role models in front of you to follow, and you will do so even when you think you’re breaking the mould.

In the end, you will be happy, you can be sure of that.

> If you believe that humans are making rational decisions in split seconds then you are delusional. A swerving, breakless human driven car will hit whatever happens to be where physics takes it.

I was in a car accident a few years ago where someone left a stop sign without realizing that there was traffic (me) in a lane they couldn't see. I wouldn't describe having felt like time slowed down, but that isn't an absurd way to describe it. I had a weird sense of clarity for the few moments before impact. I was able to slam the brakes, but I was way too close to avoid hitting them. I had a distinct feeling of "the front of the car is heavier and there's a person there". I swerved left instead of right to avoid hitting the front and slammed into the rear passenger side of their car. This spun their car completely around and totaled both cars, but both of us were able to walk away without any injuries.

I didn’t downvote you, but I’m personally pretty skeptical that there is anything of value for me that will come out of cryptocurrencies. Even pets.com offered value for customers, it just wasn’t profitable. For the case of Google, it was always clear that search engines provided value, but Google figured out how to do it way better than its competitors. I’ll be honest, I just haven’t seen a use case for cryptocurrencies that I actually want in my life.
Surely this relationship is noteworthy only to the extent it's potentially a causality? The authors are careful not to make explicit claims, but most discussion here is about that possibility. The title of this HN submission is too ("could negate"), though the title of the paper itself is more cautious.

After more carefully reading the paper, I think the premise of my original comment was completely wrong though. The study apparently had no information on whether the participants were eating conventional or organic produce. Rather, they categorized by type of fruit or vegetable, converting the average results of tests for residues to a score from 0 (best) to 6 (worst) with a somewhat arbitrary heuristic. For example, grapefruit scored 0, and spinach scored 6.

That eliminates the spurious correlation I speculated about, though others may exist; it would be interesting to know which specific fruits and vegetables accounted for most of the effect. That heuristic also increases the risk of data dredging; I wonder how many versions they tried before they got their result. As to the residues, it seems they considered all pesticides equally, even though some are strongly suspected to be much more dangerous than others. It would be interesting to repeat the analysis considering only residues of those suspected to be most (or least) dangerous, to see if their effect gets bigger (or smaller).
There are also uncountable ways the human can be erratic, antagonistic, etc.
personally i think that most all coursework should be pass/fail and exams should be designed to test if the material has been internalized or not and that's it. no little bits of trickery to try and differentiate between students, as it's just too noisy and small of a space to do that sort of differentiation.

instead, rely on project work to differentiate students. ask them to apply the knowledge in a realistic setting in a practical way and demonstrate their mastery of the subject.

this whole idea of making the exam harder than the material in order to open up a spread in performance is kinda silly if you ask me. it often just reflects pre-course preparation and literally noise (who happened to remember some obscure identity or whatever on that particular day).
The highway bridges are heavily used, but the southern shores of San Francisco Bay are mostly either salt ponds or swamps and marshes under protection orders (this is also why there’s no on-campus housing at the Googleplex), with nothing much in walking distance.

There’s a proposal to build a ferry terminal in Redwood City, but that’s still pretty far from the densest part of the south bay.
People have been monetizing open source under the GPL, MIT, BSD, and other licenses for decades. It’s possible.
Of course it is. EV charging doesn’t exist in a vacuum, nor do gasoline prices. In most situations the electricity is still derived from fossil fuels of some form, with peak power coming from natural gas plants. Until the grid itself is primarily powered by renewables, we won’t see divergence between fossil fuel prices and electrical prices.
Nim has sort of been in my peripheral vision for awhile but I’ve never really checked it out.

I guess I have a few responses:

1. If fully self-driving cars come along at some point in the recognizable future, I would bet pretty large amounts of money that they'll be extremely popular in Europe or whatever else you're thinking of as not "car-dependent."

2. The amount of money, time, and intellectual capital put into building driverless cars is an infinitesimal drop in the bucket compared to the money, time, and intellectual capital that would be necessary to make a gigantic change in the US physical infrastructure. Particularly time -- there's no way that America is going to change into Europe, well, ever, but particularly not in our lifetimes, so if you want a better transportation system, I wouldn't bet on that.

3. But also, the time, money, and intellectual capital spent on driverless cars is non-rival to any (limited, local) makeovers that American localities are going to get.

They did publish the source to the GPL drivers as well as to the vmklinux “adapter”, and I don’t believe either the core hypervisor or the ESX kernel were derived from or adapted from the Linux kernel.

My impression is mostly people are annoyed that VMware drafted off the Linux driver ecosystem and used it to help bootstrap a proprietary ecosystem.

Eventually (once they were successful) they published a native driver SDK and hardware vendors wrote native drivers for it.

To me this seems very similar to the way Linux had for a while a way to run Wifi drivers originally written for NT, though it didn’t lead to the year of the Linux desktop as some of us might have hoped for at the time.

What makes you think resellers are "monopolistic"? The barriers to entry are incredibly low: "$300 fee and monthly $50 payments" (less if you have basic coding skills), plus capital for goods, which don't need to be purchased at traditional wholesale volumes. No single reseller is buying up "all the remaining product" -- they're buying e.g. "nine freshly purchased GeForce RTX 3080s".

They can't be "sole suppliers" because they would need to beat out everyone else running a bot. As a consequence, they're not able to price goods arbitrarily high. (But, as usual, efficient price discovery tends to be viewed as evil by consumers).
