Deliver as markdown, but with a single line header:

<!DOCTYPE html><title>Foo</title><script src=mydelayedmarkdownparser.js></script><PLAINTEXT>
[[insert your markdown here]]

A document delivered as pure markdown, that will get spidered by any search engine that renders JavaScript (or that reads the document as text), and you don’t need to ask anyone to change anything. HTML has no closing </plaintext> end tag, so markdown can be free-form and securely include any unescaped <>”’ characters (raw HTML code) you need into your markdown and the browser will treat it as pure text (unlike the <XMP> tag which can be ended with </XMP> - even weirder lexing).

The key is that although the <plaintext> tag is deprecated, every browser has to support it (partially because removing support for <plaintext> would cause security issues for existing pages!) The <plaintext> tag is really very special, quite different from any other tag, and it radically interrupts HTML document lexing/parsing.

Use something like https://whatismarkdown.com/how-to-have-markdown-in-realtime-... to read the content of the <plaintext> and dynamically render your markdown into HTML.

Edit: and of course there is the HTTP header Content-Type: text/markdown which could be used by browsers to render a markdown document - see “The text/markdown Media Type” RFC https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7763.html and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Co...

> I don't see you campaigning for liberation of women from the non-existent far-right conservatives in power in France. That's because your FUD has no real foundation. Unfortunately, this tactic works, or it wouldn't be used so often.

I’m not French lmao, I don’t care what the French are doing. It’s not my job to decide what’s right for them.

> So much deception and lies. This is par for the course with the Democrat party, unfortunately.

Ok

> I don't know how anyone could support a late-term abortion after learning how the operation is actually performed!

Who is supporting this? Are you implying that I’m supporting this? That sounds like some of that good old FUD you were talking about.

> France only allows abortions up to 14 weeks unless doctors certify the mother's life is a risk. Graham's bill similarly "offers exceptions for rape, incest, and the protection of the life of a mother during pregnancy. The bill also prohibits the prosecution of women who seek abortions."

Are France and the US suddenly the same country or something? What France does is irrelevant.
People say this and I cannot fathom it. I just tested positive for flu last week. Yes I took one day off work. Yes I had a fever. But I kept working and other than isolating, lived my life as normal. If you're stuck in bed for a week I would seriously consider your health. Flu was one day of high fever and a few days of sniffles and this is confirmed influenza. Seriously Americans are way too unhealthy. Even COVID... Everyone said it was a week and I had one day of high fever (but I didd take my free week off works that was great!)
The traders at my firm knew him for Alameda. Straight quote: "It's crazy to think a couple of years ago we were just chatting with this dude and he seemed like a normal guy and now he's got billions of dollars. Guy timed it hella right."

AFAIK he seemed a decent fellow (but that's 2nd hand) and about par for the trading space. But that was then. Obviously now in hindsight, he seems to have been different in some intangible ways.
XTerm has a keyboard input locking mode thru the menus, making secure inputting of passwords doable. Not even X11 tools can sniff it.
I have a crazy idea for this: legally mandate that any business that excepts tipping must allow negative tipping, up to the same max percentage the positive tip can be.

Places that are high-end/service oriented will then allow tips, because the vast majority of customers will. Maybe even your local fancy bar would ban you for leaving a -10% tip.

But subway? They’ll turn that off immediately because almost everyone will hit “-10%” given the chance.

This one trick would clean up the entire space overnight

The velocity has slowed.

Also there isn't a cliff, there's only speed bumps for going too fast. At least if movement=inflation.

On the other hand if the "cliff" is supposed to be a specific level of inflation, then we didn't just slow down, we're walking away from it.
Perhaps hand over his job to someone that may do a better job out of it.
Thinking on this, I think what has changed is what people buy, vs what they need.

Let's take the late 60s, early 70s before the oil squeeze. Families were larger. More kids.

People would buy station wagons. Large, lots of seating.

But I think people would buy more what they needed, not just big "because".

Now I see modern families, with one or at best 2 kids, with huge SUVs.

Hmm.
This makes a lot of sense but would it prevent developers from using the default diagrams already built into most CICD websites. I assume migrating to this would make the CICD pipeline look like one step from gitlab, bitbucket, and githubs perspective.
I've used python since 1995 and I can say that async is one of the worst things I've seen put into python since then. I've used a wide range of frameworks (twisted, gevent, etc) as well as threads and even if async is a good solution (I don't think it is) it broke awscli for quite some time (through aiobotocore and related package dependencies). It's too late in the game for long-term breaks like that or any backward-incompatible changes impacting users.
From the article:

> [...] Doing so caused dramatic amplitude spikes at the edit point. Chad didn’t bother to crossfade the transition: both files play simultaneously (causing spikes at double the volume).

That's why the OST is so incredibly brickwalled.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Musk thinking it’s more beneficial for his employees to work in the office. He has goals and methods of working towards them. He wants likeminded people to work towards those goals.

Can you really not think of pros and cons of either situation? To give my opinion, if I ran a business that I was trying to grow or trying to meet lofty goals, I’d probably have people in the office too. However, I see upsides to working from home too.

I’ve been working remotely since the beginning of COVID and currently work 2,000 miles away from my work.

Well, that's one possibility.

I am imagining instead a mode that tells the user-agent "Use your own standard HTML stylesheet, and it's allowed to change and be updated over the years, to fix bugs and improve design, you don't have to stick with your default styles from 30 years ago,' but "use the same stylesheet you are using for other pages in this mode, I don't want to have to come up with it, and I don't want it to be fixed in time to what I come up with today either or require my maintenance"

That is, i suppose, more like "reader/readability mode" in all those aspects--but triggered by the source instead of by the user.

But, sure, a CSS stylesheet is another thing. I'm just thinking around the use cases I think OP is setting out; you can do so too, with other suggestions, you don't have to try telling me I mean something other than I mean to do so!
I think the restaurant industry is going crazy with this. Yesterday I stopped at a food cart. The price of a gyro sandwich was $13. It didn't come with fries. I asked how much for a side of fries. $6. Throw in a drink and add another $2. So a sandwich, fries and drink "combo" is over $20.

And this is from a food cart, mind you - not a restaurant. And not a fancy food cart that people drive miles to try their unique food. Just a few years ago that sandwich would have been $8-9.
I have never used Django, so I cannot say but if Channels handles the websocket connection back to the client, then I assume you could send back a quick 200 notification as the http response to the user and then send the real results later over the socket. I think these would be equivalent.

I have also never used Go, but I am comfortable saying that Python async is much easier to user than JS async. I find JS to be as frustrating as it is unavoidable.

Using aiohttp as on api is not bad at all. Once you have the event loop up and running, its a lot like writing sync code. Someone else made a comment about the fact that Python has too many ways to do async because everything keeps evolving so fast. I this this is true. The first time I ever looked at async on Python it was so nasty I basically gave up and reconsided Flask but came back around later because I so despised the idea of blocking by server that I was compelled to give it another go. The next time around was a lot easier because the libraries were so much improved.

I think a lot of people think that async Python is harder than it is (now).
Show HN: An API for CO₂ Removal
Hi all,

We're Fabienne and Ewan of Climacrux. Today we're proud to launch our latest project to try and make carbon dioxide removal as accessible as possible: CDR Platform [1].

In short: it’s an API to connect to a portfolio of carbon removers. You can purchase from as low as a single gram and select from both natural and technological removal methods.

Longer: A couple of years ago we launched an alternative to carbon credits, Carbon Removed[2], designed for individuals to buy and subscribe to CDR. But we always had the nagging thought that there was more that could be done.

CDR Platform is our foundation for that - a simple API to get prices and purchase (at the moment). Our plan is to become the Stripe of the carbon removal ecosystem, seamlessly connecting the supply to the demand.

We’d love to hear your feedback. Do you see a use case for this and would you use it? What features have we missed? Do you understand what we’re doing and if not, what’s unclear? We’d love to hear from you.[3]

Many thanks and happy hacking, Climacrux.

P.s. If you are a carbon remover, send us your prices, life cycle analysis and some more information about your removal timeline. Our aim is to bring your services to a wider audience so you can focus on reducing our CO₂ levels. Thanks for your work!

I think it's still a fair question. The money is intended to be an incentive. If the trial is ethical and has a positive risk benefit ratio, there is no harm from coercion.
Never knew why people bothered with Puppeteer, you need to test against other browsers, too. Not just Chrome.
The number is largely manipulated anyway. It's more complex than even this because you have to account for price elasticity. They are giving oil a very wide fluctuation, for instance.

I've been tracking my expenses since 2015 and they're up around ~50% since then, for effectively the same food (eggs, bread, meat, etc). I eat ~2800-3000 calories per day (which I also track) and that's been consistent.

According to BLS it should be up only 27%, but everyone knows that's just not true. Remember ~1 year ago when the administration was calling prices "transitory", that means they're claiming a larger elasticity in prices so inflation doesn't look bad because they believe they'll come back down (soon).
Yeah do DRIP (dividend reinvestment) as they'll periodically pay out dividends as cash. DRIP will automatically buy more shares. In a taxable account every time you sell you lose some to taxes, hurting your compounding, so stability is especially important in taxable accounts.

As you near retirement age you'll want to slide it towards a more conservative mix; you don't want a 50% stock market crash to add a decade to your career.

I'd be hard pressed to find any "rule" in any creative endeavor that _always_ applies, past obvious absurdities.
You touch on a deeper truth about change in organisations. It can't just be important, it has to be vital. That is why military is such a pure testing ground for leadership. Or why Edmonson's psychological safety research was initially carierd out in hospitals. In less life or death situations, the fact change is only important not vital allows more emotional needs to distort things. Leaderless teams only thrive when senior authority cultivates or tolerates such autonomy. If they try to control due to some individual or systemic needs then autonomous leadership dies.

> in anarchist circles when you have a smallish and relatively close group you can manage a very positive and supportive atmosphere without rules and protocols. But as things grow you lose that, inevitably, as having more people means needing more formalized ways of handling issues.

I feel the same way. He probably could not have sold a large portion of it without trashing its value, but he surely could have sold a few hundred millions.

And, should the system later implode, he could have easily disassociated himself from this fiasco: "those things would not have happened if I were still running things; I lost a lot of billions; I am a victim of this fiasco, just like you are."

In politics, too, very few leaders manage to leave at the right time: while they are near the peak of success, which looks so much better later on...
Yeah but they did that by preventing the tokens from being unstaked. It's not clear that's a good thing, but here we are.
paywalled, unfortunately, but just based on the headline and image, this is probably "flying cars" levels of speculation? No commercial manufacturer builds a completely new airplane and brings it to airline-industry-market in under 15 years. Especially designs that have been around for many decades already and aren't being used because economic sense is the only sense that drives the airline industry.
How does this even happen? Is there some system automatically blasting out promotions based on a list of notable calendar dates?

Markdown-based web is actually easy to try.

There is a number of browser extensions that render Markdown nicely. Install one, and get your friends do the same.

Make your web server serve markdown files with a Content-Type: text/markdown or even text/plain header. Put some Markdown files there.

Enjoy. It should just work.
I remember seeing renderings precisely like this in my middle school textbooks in the 90s, claiming the same thing. The truth is that commercial airliners are a solved engineering problem. We are at the absolute limits for speed, reliability, and safety that can be achieved with a flying machine in the earth’s atmosphere. Which is why the fundamental layout has not changed since the 707 was introduced over 60 years ago.

Blended wing designs fall short on many of these constraints, namely the complete lack of inherent stability. With total power loss, they become completely uncontrollable. This is an acceptable tradeoff for military aircraft (modern fighters have the same issue), but not for civil aviation.
christ that is horrendous, especially pon hon bon hon hon pon. is there some kind of historical logic behind it?

It reminds me of an old Digitiser article, called ‘Modern Game Logos are Rubbish’. It was written in 2016 and discussed the burgeoning trend of using a distressed Impact font for game titles and logos, but more generally a shift away from ‘fun’ looking logos.

https://www.digitiser2000.com/main-page/modern-game-logos-ar...

From my simplistic outsider perspective, sometimes I think that designers read “perfection is not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away,” and take it so literally that logos and brands start to converge on a single style (simple coloured shapes, sans-serif font).
> specially because our divide has been the main cause of Britishers colonizing us

This is just plainly false. Ask any serious student of history, and he will tell you that most of India has very little in common with each other. There are at least 4 major groups of languages (groups, not counting the myriad dialects), differing opinions on laws, clothing and even food. India was never a nation before the Britishers consolidated power over present day India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and parts of Afghanistan, and made it one.
No, you should not. It's an exchange token. It's meant to be used as collateral for your trading, instead of USD, BTC, etc. It incentivizes this by giving you reduced exchange fees based on how much FTT you own.
Adding a markdown handler to a web browser should be pretty trivial, and that's probably why it makes little sense to do it.
Banks lend your deposits out.
Banks do not play the market with your deposits.
Anything close to that ended in 2008.

And even the banks that did so, given they were FDIC insured and part of the Fed Reserve banking system did not leave any customers in the hole.

We can argue about taxpayer bailouts and bad incentives, but the system worked the way it was supposed to - normal people can put their money in a bank account knowing they will be able to get it back out, come hell or high water.
You're more likely to be able to pick up an Outposts rack, which is at least designed to go into a more "normal" datacenter.
Correct. Works fine on Chrome/Firefox on macOS. Though, I notice that the animation on Firefox isn't smooth.
That can be a horrible time sink as well though. Imagine if only changing one thing means, that you need a test cycle of 15 minutes or even if it is only 5 minutes. You will need 5 minutes per change then. If you know multiple things you still need to change ahead of time, you might also go ahead and fix them all, and then fix resulting or remaining issues after only running one test cycle.

I think it depends on the situation, what the best approach is. Is it a system, which is running in production and you are operating an "open heart"? Well, better only change one thing and check. Is is a newly developed thing, which you develop on your own dev machine? You can easily fix many things and many more will still remain for further iterations.
Thanks!
