I went into this expecting it to be another toy editor that someone was showing off. But no, this thing is legitimately impressive!

I had just been messing around with my neovim config because of that Leap plugin that was posted here. I decided to also install and configure the Lua language server because I wanted to try switching away from Vimscript for my init file.

Since that file was still fresh in my mind, it was the first thing I opened after installing Helix, and to my surprise it immediately showed me warning markers in the gutter and moving the cursor over the underlined symbol showed the langue server's complaints. I love that it just worked from having the language server installed!

Also while messing with neovim yesterday I was thinking about seeing if there was a plugin to show possible operations after pressing the leader key, like what you get with Spacemacs. I decided to try hitting the spacebar in Helix to see what happened and was impressed to see that it popped up with a menu showing how I could continue my input.

I'm sure I'll run into annoyances after using it for a while, but damn does this project leave an excellent first impression.
The comparable makefile:

exe: file.cpp

Default rules take care of the rest.

And if you argue that the barebones example is insufficient for a real project: absolutely true. The same applies to your cmake example.
This kind of thing has always seemed quite interesting (and worrying!) to me from an OSINT perspective. It seems like if you just know a couple of some anonymous person's favourite songs from various genres, you could identify possible Spotify accounts they may also own. As far as I can tell, it's basically impossible to discuss anything remotely personal online without jeopardizing pseudonymity.

Sometimes the ease of use is just too good to pass on, but you can make it easier for yourself to switch providers later by using a tokenizer so that you own the CC numbers without needing to bend over backwards to be PCI compliant. Makes it a million times easier to switch providers down the road. I just switched to Basis Theory (basistheory.com) and its stupid simple.

I agree. Although this might be more about covering development costs than making OP money.

An important distinction so many entrepreneurs fail to make. Don't enter a saturated market without anything new on the table if you intend to make money.

The problem with this particular market is that musicians can mostly tune by ear. Most will have a dedicated tuner next to their instrument and worst of all these apps don't perform as well for a variety of reasons not least of all that the response of the device might be off.
I built the simplest online Javascript playground ever
I was showing a friend what this whole thing about "programming" is; since my friend had experience with Excel advanced functions but not very computer-literate, I just wanted to focus on showing the basics of the language itself first and not the whole environment.

And it was fun! But you see, I didn't want to bother with explaining how to setup Node.js, or that in the browser console there's a lot of issues for learning (it remembers variables so you cannot just write, CSS issues, etc). I tried some code runners, I am familiar with Codesandbox, JSFiddle, etc. but these are still _too complex_ for what I wanted! I just wanted a place to write some JS, and see the colored output, or an error if there's an error. Maybe multiple "pages" for trying different things at once, but nothing fancy at all.

So I just launched my editor and made it over the weekend. It took me ~4h, of which 1h was general setup (Create-React-App, domain, etc), another hour was getting a bug, finding it in the lib I was using, copying the main code and fixing it within my project, and then 1.5-2h with some refinements and coloring the output.

I was surprised at how fast it was, when you find the right libraries it's a breeze to do something like this in JS-land nowadays and I'm pretty happy with the result. Will test next week and report back!
Online booksellers often denote "mass market" vs "trade" paperback which does potentially give you info on the quality of the paper.

> (even ended up on front page of HN once) were not sustainable or profitable

It's fine launching on HN, but you will enjoy a brief moment in the sun before your daily active signups start to dwindle. Like any good marketing strategy you need diverse channels to spread the word. You need to be active on Twitter, LinkedIN, Product Hunt, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok and a few lesser known platforms like Mastodon, Parler, Gab, etc

And you need to leverage those channels the right way. So Reddit would be useful for AMAs, TikTok for vertical videos, Facebook for groups and supporting a community, Twitter for small announcements about your product/service. Then there's word of mouth which is the holy grail of marketing. A lot of that leverages luck and network effects.
Nothing you said is inconsistent with “the government has arbitrarily made housing more expensive because that’s what the voters want since most of them stand to gain from their most valuable asset increasing in value.” As time goes on the old methods stop raising the value and newer ones are needed. Eventually this process leads to insane regulation as all the “easy” stuff is already done.
So you’re planning to cover expenses with investor funds — then switch on fees at series C after having built up user base that assumes the service is no fees?
I guess the GP is more about the idea that Shakespeare was just the first one to write all the folkloric ideas of his time in a format that people loved, instead of that unexplainable genius that created all those interesting stories. (Kinda like Disney. But we don't have the originals anymore.)

That one is a lot better accepted than the idea that he didn't write his works.

Where do the "doers" get the capital to create greenhouses and raise vegetables?
There's one trying to get off the ground here, and it's a similar story - it has been more than five years and nothing has actually happened except marketing whatever it is they're doing.

Meanwhile at least two different actual grocery stores have closed, and two more changed ownership; they could have bought either of them (I daresay a fundraiser would have worked) and kept them running.

Some farmer's markets are hilarious, however, in that they don't actually involve any farmers, just people buying from the same massive supply firms that feed the grocery stores and selling it in little stalls.
Can confirm. The error messages bear little resemblance to the actual problem.

Just yesterday I tried to apply Texinfo patches to support generating Chinese PDFs via XeTeX. The first error I got was an out-of-memory error, which was solved only by adding a missing font file.

The next error I got is "Undefined control sequence." and there's nothing wrong with the sources.

I'm maintaining a modular installation of TeX Live for GNU Guix for years now, and understanding the errors doesn't ever seem to get easier.

My experience with lout (another typesetting system) has been a lot smoother, even though by default it does not support Unicode. (It's possible with some configuration.)
You have to have files on your system anyway to work on or use the files. How is it any worse to have it pinned? And if everyone working on a project keeps a copy of the canonical branch there's no central place you'd need to look for the files, just query for the hashes of the files. Github and the like are quick fixes for the shortcomings of things like git and mailing lists, I think IPFS could help actually resolve those shortcomings.
The implication being that if you’re an average performer with tenure you’re basically impossible to fire.
Push constants are a great example. Once you have worked with them it feels like a huge step backwards to go without.

In some cases you can use an instance id and a buffer binding as a workaround, but it definitely feels like a hack.

You were not kidding. Wow.
For an extreme case, I have a large supplementary information document for a paper, of around 175 pages, that takes, if I recall correctly, around 10 minutes to compile on a modern machine. Working on it was frustrating enough that we had methods for compiling small portions we were working on at a given moment, and often used draft mode for the full document. However, this was for a document that, before post-processing, results in a 375 MB PDF, with thousands of included images and PDFs. It has never been that annoying for any normal document I've worked on.

The major source of frustration was that there is no partial rebuilding of the document in LaTeX: fixing one word on one page, even if it did not result in any change on the other pages, would require multiple (because of references) compilations of the entire, enormous document, even just to get some sense of what the resulting document would look like. This is a problem that is somewhat unique to LaTeX, I think.

"Idealized". I don't disagree with you. I have thought about this a lot. I'm not suggesting full, open, commercial legalization for hard drugs. I'm saying full decriminalization, with the government tightly controlling production and distribution. As long as the price and the availability (how easy is it to get?) outperform the black market then we'd be in a much better position than we are today. It wouldn't be as easy as grabbing it off the shelf in a c-store. Users would have to go to specific facilities, possibly see a social worker, receive information about the drug, how to use it safely and legally, as well as be informed of abuse treatment options. For most people this would be enough of a barrier. The illicit drug trade brings about violence, ancillary crime, poor/dangerous quality control (fentanyl!). We can do better. Legalization wouldn't be perfect but it would be so much better than the situation we have now. I can guarantee that.

> where to go in case of emergency

In case of emergency, drones just land where they are, or they could try to go back to the point of origin. Depending on the emergency, the drone might lose connection with the operator, in which case your own location is not very useful. I didn't run into emergencies lately but usually as far as I know the operator sets out to retrieve the drone.

> Wondering if GPS on the drone would dramatically affect battery life as well?

The vast majority of consumer drones already have GPS (on the device) today.

> have also used a drone to follow me while on a bicycle or in a car

It's more likely the drone follows you with computer vision although GPS could potentially help if the drone completely loses you. I imagine your phone location will be more helpful in pointing out the general direction than actually getting you in the center of the shot. It's not that accurate, and there are more variables at play like the vertical angle.

I spoke with an archaeologist and interpreter recently at an archaeological park with mounds from the Mississippian people period. They said that the archaeological park might have easily been dozed over if events had turned out differently. I suspect that North American pre-columbian construction is often obscured by a century of modern development and centuries of farming now. Much of what might have been is now crushed under our tractors or buried under our malls, highways, and houses. I wonder what people living here before us were like and what lessons they might teach us.
I agree that Rust is really good, and I plan learn it soon. But even if I agree that the language is dying, the majority of low level projects are still in C/C++, and will be for a loooong time. So to be effective in the close and even not so close future, and to understand the environment you are building over, knowing C++ is almost fundamental.

And also, it's important to learn C++ to understand what are the problems the new solutions solve, and how and when to use them in a more effective way.

Show HN: Functional data types for TypeScript development
I would love some feedback on this library I'm making. I've dabbled in FP for years and my journey has led me to create this library.

As a front end dev, I see a lot of complexity in code bases as data is wrangled into various shapes before finally getting turned into ui elements. An API request gives you back a dumb object, and if you don't turn that object into something "smart", inevitably it becomes complicated, hence the ubiquity of state managers like Redux and it's ilk.

I've had great success in functionally modeling my data using the TS/JS class keyword, and I'm trying to make some of that power accessible to anyone who wants to use it. I believe that if you model your state properly, you can avoid the need for external state management completely in most cases.

I started with a Bool monad because it was simple, and a Maybe monad because most of the `if` statements I see in code are for checking whether data is present or not. I think the next item will be a queue or deque. Thanks for checking it out.

Show HN: Tree-merge.com. Merge e-commerce categories with a web UI
Hello,

I built this web UI to merge multiple tree based e-commerce categories into one "super tree".

You can export the super tree as JSON, and import it into another system such as a search engine.

Users can then select a single category and view items from all of the semantically equal categories.

The app is here: https://app.tree-merge.com/

You can download the sample categories and use them to demo the UI.
It looks great on paper but the quotas and lack of support make it painful to use outside of toys. The dev forums are full of these complaints, and before that the github repos were too. We are long overdue being moved to another platform so they can more legitimately ignore the same old support issues and requests they don't intend to solve. Websockets is a good example, libspotify successor another. Frustrating.

But it is not 400k hosts to search:

facebook
www

google
ad

googletagmanager
tags
ads

to block ad.facebook.com you only need to scan 10-100k of .com domains in your block list and only a couple of records in facebook.com. Don't forget, DNS is a hierarchical system. And we, humans, actually record, use and remember all the DNS records in the wrong, reverse direction ;-)

I bet 30% of those hosts are don't resolve anymore and another 30% resolve to domain parking/404 hosts.

Funding: Cereal sales; Y Combinator incubator
Amount raised: $30,000 from cereal; $20,000 from Y Combinator
Launched: August 2008

> Months later, the AirbnB team was accepted by the Y Combinator incubator, which gave them three months of support and training and an additional $20,000 to fly to New York -- their biggest market at the time -- to meet users, throw launch parties and promote the site. By the time they exited the incubator and presented their project to investors, AirBnB was profitable. In return, Y Combinator took an equity stake in the company. AirBnB's founders won't say exactly how much they gave up, but Y Combinator's typical deals involve a 2% to 10% stake.

The business model was valid before YC noticed them and they were profitable when they left after the incubator.

A lot of the comments here seem to come from the perspective that a colonoscopy is the only way to screen for colorectal cancer. There are also fecal sample tests such as FIT and FIT-DNA. Both involve home collection of fecal samples for testing. In the case of FIT yearly and FIT-DNA every 3 years. In the case of both if there is a positive result a colonoscopy is then performed. Outside the US annual FIT testing seems to be the standard of care versus a screening colonoscopy. A similar study with yearly FIT tests would be interesting to see. I suspect you might have a better compliance rate than the 42% seen in this study.

I'm sure there are plenty of reasons it can be advantageous to be able to attribute covert action to some independent group, but at least one comes from fairly recent US history: the Iran-Contra Affair. Different parts of a government don't always agree with each other, and one might want to be able to act without approval from another. Not all countries are one-party dictatorships where warfighting departments can just do whatever they want.
