> FastAPI for a simple REST API is a huge mistake

FastAPI can be sync or async, although sync will have "a small performance penalty"

As far as I can tell based off of personal experience, HN is full of armchair experts on topics outside their realm of expertise. Heck, I even play one myself now and then.

Hey! Yeah, some site builders don't require you to create an account to try the product. I take a different approach so that the site is mostly pre-filled by the time you see it.

I try to address this by linking to a bunch of Postcard example sites on the homepage.

For why to use Postcard - I'm setting out to build "dependable tech tools" [1]. I think we need more unitasker applications that just do a good job, and just stick around. And, personal websites are something that I think more people should have - but, that no big VC-backed startup will ever focus on because it's a small market.

Postcards themself are a great personal website that's well-designed and has a nicely integrated newsletter. The newsletter posts also get featured on the site, and there's features like full-text RSS built-in.

People are "big-picture" missing why this is an important idea. I had a prof put it like this once: The great tragedy of the web is the following:

HTML made the web easy to read.

But you know what made the web easy to write? Facebook. Facebook was undeniably the technology that made it so that roughly everybody could write things on the web to be read by everyone.

I really like the direction of this, because it points toward the possibility of a "web that is easy to write."
People who run the origin servers often use a CDN to do TLS termination because they are too incompetent to do it themselves. Not having to enable TLS is a major value-add for certain types and you'll see this advertised prominently by every CDN

Here's the demo video linked in the blog post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0bLWmi2B-4

It goes step by step through the getting started guide from the Dagger Python SDK docs
Fody says they have an “honesty system” and expect all users to pay, even if they’re not raising issues or PRs. That’s despite the fact that the code is MIT licensed.

How is that a more ethical, straightforward, or profitable business model than just GPLing the project and offering proprietary licensing?

Releasing code under a permissive license, then calling people dishonest when they use it according to the license but not the authors’ desires, seems silly and inefficient.
> Nine years later—after 185,000 hours of product development, $1.2 million in investment, and 45 different iterations—a new design will be rolling out in the U.K. within the next couple of months.

heavy lifting there.

Tribal polyamorous families were good when we gathered and hunted.

With the rise of agriculture and population density, came familial norms that were better accommodating to all the members of the society, namely women, who would fight over partner selection, to enforce monogamy, which is better....for the children, it turns out.

For both of my startups, I created a shared folder where anyone can dump things with the specific purpose of, "If we get super big and world famous, this would be interesting early history".

Sadly we never got big or famous, but the idea was there! Most of what was in there were early pictures of the team at important events.
Mass noun is the term for that. Octopus is generally only a mass noun if talking about their meat.

As far as the plural goes, it is just a weird corner of the language where there is no consensus on what the right word is. merriam-webster lists all three variants as plurals.
I get that - but my hunch is that if VC firms were able to invest the amount that they did, he probably had the ability to sell more of his stake in the company if he wanted to.

Granted, with what we know now, that does fit the definition of securities fraud.
There is also a documentary about a timeshare property mogul building the one of the biggest/most expensive personal home ever, I believe costs were over $100 million.

Filming was in 2007, the 2008 financial crisis hit, and the documentary devolves into watching this mogul go bankrupt.

I remember a quote from the mogul, something like "I have nothing but the business. I've re-invested nearly every dollar I've ever earned."

> I dont understand why he wanted twitter

The thing I read that made the most sense is that he never wanted it. He wanted to use the buyout as cover for selling a bunch of Tesla stock. No due diligence was done because he fully expected to just back out of the deal, but that didn't happen because he and his billionaire buddies were not so happy about getting deposed and dragging all their dirty laundry into the public.
Thanks for clarifying your position
The 'luxury belief' here is that one's opponents all hold their views for reasons that they are either not aware of, or are deceptive about.

I was in Seattle for CHOP -- the "defund the police" crowd was literally a bunch of really hecking poor young people, pushed to the limit by the pandemic and the politics of the day.

That the Right immediately rewrites historical events *that it did not attend* as forms of luxury consumption is because that's the only way they can see the world.

I'm talking about mainstream adoption. Mastodon is never going to be anything more than a niche phenomenon. Similar to how odysee is never going to be the next YouTube, which is even more ridiculous that people believed that.

If you want the masses you need a "classic" setup: big commercial company, lots of money and a centralized infrastructure.
My head-canon for this has always been the universal translator also translated the physical appearance of beings so that you could read their body language. This explains why everyone looks like humans with a slightly different color and head shape. In some cases, like energy beings and giant slimes, it simply cannot translate anything and displays the original being.

This head-canon melts in the face of the actual lore, but it helps me suspend disbelief.
I think the section is addressing both CPU and IO-bound tasks:

> How to Execute a Blocking I/O or CPU-bound Function in Asyncio?

But to be precise, we should differentiate between Python’s interpreter threads and OS threads. In general, OS threads are a great way to parallelize CPU-bound tasks (with the issues of locking you mention), but Python’s interpreter threads are not (because of the GIL).
I love old books (first pressings, especially signed). There is a lot of character to them. Holding a century old book is a very satisfying experience, you get to own something very authentic, a piece of a bygone era.

However, I don't see a problem with people, artists, businesses, places updating their individual branding. To me it's a sign of a refreshed outlook, a new way to both see oneself and to present oneself to others. Clinging to the past because it's (a priori) old is not the right motivation.
Places without enforced tipping culture still seem to have decent amount of coffee places.
According to the article it was:

> The fast food chain said the "automated push notification" was "linked to calendars that include national observances".

Anyone with the slightest bit of foresight could have told you this was a completely idiotic idea to start with. Many countries have observances linked to deaths and tragedies.

I guess KFC should be lucky they didn't advertise fried chicken on MLK day.

...that a game of Russian roulette wouldn’t be so thrilling if you found out it was a full clip.

Pro tip: don't play Russian roulette with anything involving a "clip" (more accurately: magazine) and even a single bullet[0]. "Revolver" is what you're looking for here.

OTOH, perhaps it is a fitting metaphor for amateurs trading options.

[0] Spoiler: a magazine-fed firearm with even a single bullet in it will feed that bullet right to your brain when you pull the trigger.

Hey, great feedback!

I plan to add a Zapier integration to Postcard so that you can connect signups to wherever you want. (And, if you want to import your Converkit account to Postcard - just email me!)

I was also using Convertkit for a personal newsletter, and got tired of using a business tool for an individual use case. So, the Postcard posts do send out via email. Posts also show up on the site - so that you can share it on any other networks you want.

Thanks for the feedback - seems like I can make these details more clear in the app, including how posts work!
Yes, that is how you scale DNS load balancing. There is a pretty low limit for the number of records you are allowed to return in practice. Putting 100 A records works with 1.1.1.1, but will break other's resolvers on the internet.

>That's possible, but not always available.

If you build it, then it's always available.
That was the stated justification communicated through structured propaganda, yes.
"That iconic beauty and excellence was the province of rich white dudes—and can only be expanded by lowering our standards."

That's egalitarianism for you.
Agreed. I think a proper solution for them to this would just be to create a separate spin-off product that is focused on realistic voice synthesis, while continuing the development of the typical-vocaloid-sounding product line as they currently are.

The audience wanting more vocaloid-like sound and the one wanting more realistic sound aren't really the same, and the overlap between them, I suspect, is not large. So it makes way more sense to capture the latter group by creating that more-realistic-voice spin-off product line, as opposed to being forced to choose between the realistic and vocaloid-like target demographics.

We already know the size of vocaloid-sound target audience, but I bet the audience for realistic-sound synthesis is going to be magnitudes larger (mostly because of versatility of where that tech could be useful, while with vocaloid it is mostly constrained to music production and vocaloid-related visual arts accompanied by a typical vocaloid voice).
My view, having watched some super wealthy guys up close, is the formula to make a lot of money in one life time is:
(1) Be skillful at whatever you do
+
(2) Take a lot of risk

Keep in mind there is a survivorship bias at work.

So the really rich guys, they usually do have considerable skill and ability. But they also have taken big risk after big risk and it has, more or less, always paid off for them.

It is all they know...the coin flips going their way. So they are some combo of they are pre-wired to take big risks and/or have been conditioned by experience that the risks just always pay off for them.

So they will just keep taking big risks time after time. There is no "take the money off the table".

The question I always have is it more (A) pre-wired or (B) Good luck has conditioned them over and over. Don't know.

As you point out, you see not just SBF doing this, but Zuck and Elon and the list goes on...
Has anyone used this application/service?
Probably depends on the company and circumstances in which you were laid off.
There is no simple answer, and it also depends on the country/jurisdiction. The number of characters is not a primary criterion. Infringement requires that the original is already protected by copyright. According to US law an original work is one that is independently created, and not striking uniqueness, ingenuity, or novelty. It's even legal that substantially similar works exist as long as they were independently created. So a claimant must prove not only similarity, but also that the defendant actually copied the work (which might be an issue in the present case). And copyright doesn't protect functionality nor ideas, but the developer's "expression" of such functionality or ideas. And there are restrictions, e.g. that if there is only one or a limited number of ways to express a given functionality (regardless how many characters are used), the result will not be protected by copyright to avoid monopolies. And even if copyright applies, it could still be fair use.
Ask HN: Should I move my BTC out of Coinbase?
I bought a non-trivial amount of BTC about a year ago via Coinbase. Seeing the issue with withdrawals at various exchanges (like FTX) is making me nervous that the BTC in Coinbase might become illiquid.

Is it a good idea to move this into a wallet? Any suggestions on how to do this or what tools to use (I don't have a wallet or any other tools setup).

Or is this something I shouldn't be concerned about for some reason?

Income is a combination of two main factors:

1. The value you add to the economic 'stream' flowing around you

2. The amount you're able to divert out of that and into your own control

These are influenced by a number of secondary factors:

1. Starting capital to buy tools and resources to increase your ability to contribute

2. The ability to help others increase their contributions, or less charitably, the ability to take credit for the contributions of others

3. A willingness or unwillingness to pillage the commons

A humble farmer can work some acres of land, use his mind to know what best to grow, use his hands to make it happen, trust the sun and rain to grow the crops, and sell the harvest for a value greater than the cost to lease the land and buy the seed. With a million-dollar combine, cultivators, spreaders, center-pivot irrigation systems, an all the other features of modern agriculture, he can reap a much greater - more valuable - harvest.

But when a dealership has negotiated exclusive rights over a region, and the salesmen take a non-negotiable commission of sales, does the salesman who connects the farmer to the combine he knows he needs deserve thousands of dollars for closing that sale, just because he's situated himself between the farmer and the manufacturer?

When Wall Street or Jane Street sees that our massive farm industry needs massive numbers of combines - it's a $500B industry - and they're able to siphon off a percent of that industry's output for "providing liquidity" just because their Daddy knows some people, while the farmer's Daddy worked 18-hour-days every harvest season until he died, and the former is a multimillionaire by age 30 while the latter might make $200k during 4 of 5 seasons and lose $300k in a bad year...it just doesn't feel right.
Such a good comment. But I have a question for you. You said this is 'one of the major interpretations' of QM. But if the hypothetically greater future data is not observable by anything outside of the universal wavefunction, then is it not the case that the entire system is evolving without external observation, i.e., the system itself does not have to be able to verify that it "knows" what outcome will occur for it to be able to generate new data by a causal mechanism. So it sounds like randomness is not proven by what you said is definition, alone. Is this what you meant by it being "one of the" interpretations of QM?
When dealing with technology, the vast majority of prior human activity is seen unsophisticated.

I wouldn't say our activities are foolish in regards to space debris (aside from intentional debris from satellite kill tests... cough cough Russia). The international community acknowledges the risks of debris and even have some high level goals of addressing it. And LEOs already have required deorbit timelimes/lifespans.

The most popular videos on YouTube aren't the officially released OST, they're remixed/remastered versions fixed up by the community. The official OST isn't terrible by any means, it's full of musically great pieces, but it has glaring objective technical flaws and nonsensical song structures. Perfect for management to think "It's good enough, ship it" while the artist behind it thinks "This is garbage, my reputation is ruined" and the community gets up in arms about its shortcomings. Especially when the community expects something on the level of the DOOM 2016 OST.

Any copyright time bombs in front-end code?

Have an unobvious copyright condition, get your code in thousands of projects, then spider the internet looking for companies that use your code, and charge them a $1000 “licensing fee”.

Or change the copyright in v1.1.2.2 and wait until everyone updates, and do the same thing.

> Modern devs don't care

I think the “modern” is superfluous and vaguely insulting: security isn’t/wasn’t cared about by most old-skool developers either!
You need to run the executor somewhere ( loop.run_forever() or loop.run_until_complete() ), that can be in the current thread or a separate thread, keep in mind Python is still conceptually a single core.

Things I've found particularly useful:

* Optional / debug logging of coroutine start/exit.

* Stats logging, including count, runtime, request queue (multiple instances of the same function) depth.

* Printing tracebacks within the coroutine context.

Haven't expended any effort on decorators, good for you.
But it doesn't have to be outside of your expertise to criticize it anyway, that's the point I want to make.

There is no harm in me saying out loud "Facebook is an evil company" even if I'm completely wrong, because they are so powerful. It would valuable for everyone to scream at Facebook at being evil because that would force them to show and prove that they are not.

We shouldn't get stuck on being "accurate." Throwing rocks is not just okay, it's a good idea if it forces the powerful party to act/respond.

As for the individuals -- it's their job to defend the company. If that hurts their feelings or whatever, too bad. I don't care and neither should you (presuming that Facebook is potentially very harmful.)
> I live in the South. You learn very quickly as a Democrat to keep your mouth closed about politics. I know everyone in my life who votes R consistently, but the D's are harder to pin down.

That's polarization for you. In other places, it's the exact opposite.
Private isn't a useful distinction though right? Even open source code often has a licence and conditions on how you can reuse or integrate it into your own code. Someone owns it.

If you sell a product which can regurgitate large parts of code who's licence doesn't allow it to be completely freely used and modified then this kind of outcome seems a foregone conclusion.
It is easy if you know what to do. But you'll CONSTANTLY run into things where it is obvious that this is a toy that hasn't been thought through.

I've found random slowdowns of a factor of 10 for no reason.

A context manager needs to have __enter__ and __exit__ methods. An async context manager needs to have __aenter__ and __aexit__ methods. The error you get if you use a context manager as an async context manager or vice versa is big and scary and offers no clue to most programmers of what the problem is.

Using async with SQLAlchemy it isn't hard to wind up exiting the event loop before all cleanup has happened. They fixed the main cause of this, but it isn't hard to still trigger it.

And so on.
$20B with asset. How much of that asset he holds that he can cash out without systemic correction, maybe $1B? Especially with a lot of his worth tied to his own token FTT, which has paper thin liquidity.
Because they didn't do that with TLS and HTTP, and then they discovered many networks had become home to middleboxes that shipped ossified out of the box and broke horribly whenever trying to deploy any improvements

They're like mold, these middleboxes. Grows easily, doesn't evolve much, likes sitting in the dark, surprisingly hard to kill, and ultimately not very friendly to human life

By exercising the fields early and encrypting anything that's not nailed down, they prevent ossification from taking hold before it becomes a problem
I had a friend from India explain to me about 30 years ago that everything in India is done with bribes. His example was, if you wanted to get your high school transcript, you would have to bribe people all along the way.

I'm refuting the claim that my unit tests won't touch Spring.
