I have a few qualms with this project:

1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting a 3D printer, designing and printing your own cards, and making your own circuit boards. From Windows or Mac, you can then just use whatever you made on Linux.

2. It doesn't actually replace physical cards. Most people I know e-mail cards to themselves or host them somewhere online to be able to play games, but they still carry physical cards in case there are connectivity problems. This does not solve the connectivity issue.

3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service (not buying, but also playing with the cards), is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

I can see they're working on this issue. Hopefully they get it resolved sooner rather than later.
Not quite the same, but I had a seller open an inquiry through Amazon to send me a message well after a sale (a month or so). I thought it was odd. I got an email something to the tune of, "Regarding the issue with your order". I thought - what issue? There was no issue, no problem to speak of. I bought a jacket and it was delivered and that was that. I open the ticket, and it's a tin can rattle for a 5 star Amazon review.
Ah so the docking board uses a raspberry Pi eh? You could probably implement the same using an esp32 (if u want wifi/Bluetooth) or even an stm32 chip, you can definitely find a good chip for under $5 each that can do what you need. That's another way to take your learning to the next level while reducing costs. Also not as difficult as it looks!
They have experienced inflation from a different base price but both have experienced enormous inflation. My guess is that pet surgery will soon reach the point where a lot of people aren't willing to pay the price whereas for human surgery they will accept higher prices.
The pigeon uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive itself from a position where it is to a position where it isn't and, arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation; the variation being the difference between where the pigeon is and where it isn't.
It would be nice if things like this included some context.

For instance: What is tailwind? Why is it important? What ecosystem does it live in and what problem does it solve?
Yep. I remember starting a job and immediately looking for something else because the tech stack was basically a 10 year old dumpster fire. When I say old, this was basically like using Python 2.x or Java 6 in 2022. I'd log on to production servers and they'd have 1000+ day uptime because literally nothing had been upgraded. (And no, they definitely weren't doing any sort of live patching.) The dev environment was so fragile, you couldn't even run it on a machine with a modern OS. They had to buy used Macs off of Ebay.
I think this is a case of the path to hell being paved with good intentions.

Limiting it to 1 or 2 would have zero impact on either corporate money or savvy individuals and, would likely reduce upward mobility, as navigation of these subsidized markets is one of the most reliable paths to go from low to medium net worth.

Once someone has 8 figure net worth, these subsidies are noise. I really get the feeling the baddies are using much more egregious subsidies than this one.
there are gorgeous places where five figures buys a home, or less than $10k down and $1k/month

.....such as?

Prices have gone up everywhere.

Tawas City, MI is hours from the nearest medium-sized town. There are no jobs, no social activities besides bars, very few restaurants, and no five figure homes for sale ($150K will get you 1450 square feet).

Mesick, MI. Literally nothing but forest, and 1.2 empty acres is $125K.

Clarion, IA. There is nothing beautiful about anywhere in Iowa. You can, however, get a nearly-falling down 1100 square foot house for $85K (everything else on the market, and there's a bunch, is 6 figures).

Where are these gorgeous places where rich people haven't already bought all the homes?
No disrespect, but I’m guessing you’re not married with kids. That phase is very busy and focused and people have dramatically less time compared to uni days.
I've gotten similar things in recent years, but most of them promise some sort of discount or free tiny trinket from their store if you do it. I've never had the time or energy to follow up.

This looks like the next step in that rewards progression though.
a couple of years ago, my best friend had a major pyschotic episode. among many other unfortunate incidents, she drove her car into the yard of a stranger in the middle of the night, and knocked on that person's front door.

in response, i took her car away from her. drove it to a spot she didn't know about. she was, of course, furious with me. and my actions were no doubt illegal.

despite that, it was the right thing to do. if a similar situation were to arise, i would do it again in a fraction of a second. and now that my friend is in her right mind again, she agrees that i did the right thing.

would i have reprogrammed a router, if that had been a factor in distracting her? absolutely i would, without a second thought.

It's good security practice to have separate sandboxes/domains for various types of services so it's harder for people to pivot from one to another in the event of an exploit. Similar to having a different domain for internal services, if you host user content on your site you should host all that user generated content on a different domain so it can't access your cookies etc.
It is good to bail out the ultra rich! Because when has the US done differently!
To be fair, their prices are dirt cheap and they offer a lot. Their product catalog is also growing nicely.
I am definitely enjoying the language, I think the ideas in htmx + hyperscript have massive potential to shift not only frontend, but some fun scripting in Node as well! For that, I am grateful to you. Would love to get involved anyway I can, might start digging through issues in the repository, I learned quite a bit reading hyperscript's source.
> I can't stress how much #6 impacts what makes someone a 'lifer'.

I agree. I also think there's less naivete when you have heard for the fifth time how revolutionary this new tech or business will be.

I don't know about you, but the first few times I heard that, I believed the speaker.

But eventually I figured out that while there are exciting new revolutions (the first time I saw a lyft it was magical), there are far more interesting or boring ideas that don't require extraordinary effort, just regular, sustained focus.
> Not really. He's mouthed the words, of course, but it appears that his definition of "free speech" is "whatever Musk wants it to be".

Pretty hard to nail this perfectly if we are being honest. But Twitter allows more free speech now than before.

> Not what he said. What he said is that he'll allow allow all speech that isn't illegal. He could decide to censor all speech from everyone on Twitter right now, and that wouldn't go beyond what is permissible by law.

Not sure I understand your argument here.

> Why? Advertisers don't have freedom of speech? They should be forced to engage in speech and do business with a company when they find it distasteful or potentially harmful to their business?

Advertisers have freedom of speech. What they don't have now is the ability to coerce the Twitter platform into censoring other users' speech. Besides they are free to do business where their needs are best served. Twitter's not a monopoly.
I'm a lifer my self (21 years so for). The thing is I'm not even close to senior, we have lots of guys with 30+ years sitting at the head of the table. The biggest problem I see is with the older lifers not wanting to leave, not carrying their weight, not keeping up with changes and doing the bare minimum required of them. They are a wealth of knowledge, knowledge about things we haven't seen in a decade or more. I understand why they stay, they are paid very well and not much is expected of them but they are also 70+ years old with full pensions & 401Ks doing the job that a college grad could do. To me it's not fair to the young guys who we should be training and mentoring, instead a guy in his late 40's is the youngest guy on the team....sorry for my rambling but the point I'm trying to get to is longevity shouldn't be the reason you are at the table, it should be about what you bring to the table.
That said like you having a wealth of contacts is invaluable -who needs to open a ticket when you can call the developer who you've known for a decade or more and who's happy to take your call.

One reason why people talk about “hurricane insurance subsidies” in the first place is that it is hard to quantify, so it’s hard to call people on their bullshit.

This is similar to introducing arcane metrics like for example “federal dependency” (https://sipanews.fiu.edu/2021/03/24/2021s-most-least-federal...) with nonobvious methodology, and then pretending that the states that are high in “federal dependency” ranking are actually more meaningfully “dependent” on federal government, which doesn’t actually pass muster if you look at the methodology (for example, according to their methodology, a state that collects $1k in taxes per capita, and gets $4k from federal government, while spending $5k per capita, is more dependent on federal government than a state that collects $10k in taxes, gets $10k from feds and spends $20k, which is absurd).

Basically, there is a lot of attempts at hoodwinking audience by giving impression that there is some deep quantitative analysis behind the claims, when in fact it’s all just partisan shenanigans.
Honestly 2 of these per person and 5 for the turn,flop,river - and we have a texas holdem game without cards and shuffling - just chips...

so a 6 person game, 12 of these + 5 ~ 17 of these ~ $450 ~ about the cost of real nice chips and cards...
I agree. Have some Fn respect. Is this blog post how their employees found out they had a 15 min notice that they were getting axed or not?

Even worse, it only shows online pizza sales for the three big pizza companies, it specifically excludes small pizza retailers.

You seem to be understanding me correctly.
When one buys a physical book, they are paying for the paper and the printing process.
That is the barrier to entry for producing such a copy for sharing, distinctly different from producing a shareable copy of, e.g., a .mp4 file.

This person did not have this barrier to entry and therefore they did not see value in selling what they copied.
The work does not have value in a market unless the value is propped up artificially as is currently being done by copyright law.

> I am sorry, I am not sure this is a genuine argument.

If it helps, these markets were clearly viable when certain resources were required to copy and distribute works.
The difference with today is the public internet and the proliferation of personal general-purpose computers that people like to keep on themselves at all times.
It's new and it's causing market disruptions.

Finally, I'll say that many people will choose to give money for things even if they aren't otherwise required to pay: Humble Bundle, Patreon, Youtube, Twitch, etc.
People donate to the Wikimedia Foundation only because they are asked, to the point that that the organization now has an order of magnitude more money in the bank than Wikipedia's annual operating costs (recent funding controversies aside, they donate because they think it helps keep around something they'd like to see stick around).
I think people are going to be shocked at how much Tesla’s market share disappears when Honda / Toyota get into the mix. They’ve sat back, learned all the lessons from the early adopters, and are ready to put their massive manufacturing abilities to work making EVs.
Incidentally, I've noticed comments have stopped loading in the Harmonic app for Android (a HN reader).
It means you can have 10mm in guarantees. Your debt to income has to continue to conform as the mortgages stack up.

But, if you can use a lease against the house as proof of income that could offset the mortgage.

That’s basically the secret sauce to “get rich with real estate” content.

Edit: it has no effect on savvy individuals because they can always put each new home inside an llc, continually keeping their count low. This is what you would do after 10 mortgages today, though most people would have put the homes in llcs by 10 anyway for other reasons.
I'm about 15ish years in and I have a jaundiced view of the jaundiced view. I've learned a lot of "the right way" things from HN that are genuinely better. True shop knowledge from people "in the arena" with expertise building and running the kind of systems I build and run. There are a lot of pricks though, to be sure.
I'd settle for Richard Garfield ;)

You think I should patent? Isn't that going to cost me like 20 grand? Plus if Wizards of the Coast really wants to, they can work around my patents somehow.

If I could patent for only a couple thousand dollars maybe I would..... But I WANT other game developers to use this idea. Just, if they want to skip ahead, they can work with me, I'd be happy to share.
Yeah, I can run it on an stm32, which is what I'd do for an early Kickstarter where I only have to make <100.

Since I only made two, it was easier just to keep it on the raspi for now.

I'd be more interested in how they managed to afford their Tesla.

I sure wouldn't mind a Tesla but I can't get a working used one for $1,200 like I did with an ICE car.
I don't really get Tailwind. Whenever I am looking at a layout, I am doing it in the inspector tools, not in the stylesheet or the html file. I don't care if the class is called top_bar or foo_bar or if the styling is done inline. I do care that is had a border-radius of 10px,. With tailwind I have to somehow know that border-radius is supposed to be "rounded". I have to learn a whole new language and constantly translate back and forth.

A lot of people seem to like tailwind though so I am probably missing something.
> “I donated about the same to both parties. […] All of my Republican donations were dark.”

That sounds more shady, not less.
I have to say, I read quite a bit of that but got bored with it. Not that it's not a great story about important work, but at some point I felt like I'd read all I needed to.
I was a lifer. But now I can see the tunnel darkens at the end of the journey. You are just one stone throw away from misery.

Yeah, I'm happy to see this. Every Ruby shop I've worked for has some kind of hand-rolled immutable struct, possibly in addition to various implementations provided by libraries. The backwards compatibility reasoning for not adding an immutable flag to Struct (my first instinct) makes sense. Struct has always been kind of wonky anyway. Getting both positional and kwargs for free is great. I also appreciate that they kept the implementation minimal for now. The pull request shows a very elegant way of implementing default arguments using only language features, which is a good sign:

Measure = Data.define(:amount, :unit) do
def initialize(amount:, unit: '-none-') = super
end

a) I'd never run an extension like this.

I work part time at a local pizza restaurant. We do not do business with any app-based delivery service. We have drivers on staff and that's it.

We tried DoorDash many years ago, but the DD drivers were always slower than our drivers and delivered cold pizza (because they cover a much larger delivery area). Then the customer complains and we have to give them a free pizza, and they still write a bad review for us because of something out of our control.
> I hoped to recreate multiple long-running terminal sessions in splits and tabs, similar to functionality I now use from:

> Neovim (plugin): https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim

> VS Code (built-in): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/basics#_managing...

The example in that vscode link can be replicated in emacs by:

1. having a single buffer open
2. C-x 2 (split-window-below)
3. C-x o (other-buffer)
4. C-x 3 (split-window-right)
5. C-x 3 (split-window-right)
6. C-x + (balance windows)

If that seems unwieldy you can also make a macro to automate such a thing or anything your imagination can come up with. Then any function you make (such as saving that macro to a name) can be bound to a keybinding of your choice.

If that's interesting to you, also see "Keyboard Macros are Misunderstood":

https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/keyboard-macros-are-m...

In fact, if you really want to understand Emacs in addition to replicating your current vscode workflow or even to augment your current workflows you should check out his book that was recently updated for Emacs 28:

https://www.masteringemacs.org/book#free-sample

He typically updates the book pretty quickly, so you'll get any future updates he may make. I still highly recommend the current version after having ready 5 or 6 chapters recently and feeling like I leveled up my own understanding.
Holy cow that guy needs an editor. Pretty sure there's a good story inside the mound of repetition and side quests.

The payoff for this kind of standardization would be enormous. Bottles are one example. Books are another. If books were made in universally standardized shapes, then bookshelves could be sized to fit them without wasted space, and so on.
It's funny how you bring up a great example to further my point.

"After the GI Bill was instituted in the 1940s, a number of 'fly-by-night' vocational schools were created. Some of these for-profit colleges still target veterans, who are excluded from the 90-10 rule for federal funding. This loophole encourages for-profit colleges to target and aggressively recruit veterans and their families. Legislative efforts to close the 90-10 loophole have failed.
According to the GI Bill Comparison Tool, the largest recipients of GI Bill Funds are

Uhh completely public is worse. By a very wide margin.
This is pretty common among third party Amazon sellers.

They’re stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Amazon has high standards for seller ratings based on reviews. The proportion of unsatisfied customers leaving negative reviews is exponentially higher than those satisfied leaving positive ones.

They’re doing their best to feed themselves.
Or...a CSS class? I think the point is that CSS already has the means for abstraction built right in. Using an application framework in order to abstract a list of styles adds unnecessary complexity that compounds upon itself.

Somebody writes a React component to abstract a button and its standard styles, and all seems simple enough. Then we need marketing styled buttons, and buttons that are anchor elements, and ones that are small and large, and inverted and with and without shadows because the design people insist, with icons, block width, pills, etc, etc. And you end up with a monstrosity component with all sorts of bespoke interface that everyone has to learn, when some cascading classes and plain HTML would have entirely sufficed.
