Nice! I've been wanting something like this in combination with hnrss.org to have my feed/news reader (Emacs?) allow me to revisit a HN thread and show unread comments (since I last looked at the comments). I think there's still some glue to be done too make that all work nicely.
If you're forced to work in the terminal, vim's great. But to get it to do something approximating an IDE, is it worth the time to tweak configs/plugins and memorize hotkeys, rather than just using a _real_ IDE?

Besides that, I just find the whole method of navigating (skipping words, skipping an X amount of lines) counterintuitive. It's nothing I can get used to, I will always miss the precision of just taking the mouse and getting the cursor exactly where I want it in one sweep and click.
It's not the end of the world, I was just poking fun at a goofball who didn't see the irony in his kneejerk response. I'm a free speech absolutist, so I support his right to say whatever the heck he wants. That's how I know he's a goofy dude, I read a bunch of his replies in this thread and he CONTINUES to put his foot in his mouth.

Also, this hyperbolic style of response (end of the world, racism, xenophobia, the other million examples in the thread) is part of what the OP was saying is a problem today. Nuance in dialog seems to be lost, and the second someone disagrees instead of coming back with a well reasoned response, it's "oh so you YEARN for the days when minorities weren't even considered human?!" and the conversation ends.

That's boring. Strive to be less boring. It's not comfortable but it's worthwhile.
Ah yes, the ADL -- the genocide denial [1] hate organization. The ADL has been denying the Armenian genocide since as recently as 2016. This organization has zero credibility, given their hate-spewing opines.

Microsoft tried a lot of weird things preventing piracy or refunds.

I remember the Windows cd cases were protected by this seal. If you opened the cd case to install Windows the seal broke and that was kinda your agreement you were not eligble for any refund. However, it was very possible to click open the hinges of the plastic jewel case, use the cd and put it back on its case, so the seal did not break.
> Its still quite possible in assembly, where goto (JMP) is your only way to do control flow.

Yes, certainly very possible in assembly as it ever was. But as you note, few people are doing large scale assembly programs anymore. And I'd say that those who still do, are sufficiently experienced to avoid unstructured jump explosion in their code, hopefully.

The only good thing about EC2 is reliability.

You can get equivalent hardware for much cheaper elsewhere and save way more than 9$.
Add some load balancing across cheap hosts and you can achieve good reliability.

I run things on Digital Ocean, hetzner, ovh, linode, fly: they all cause downtime from time to time.
I have clients on azure / Aws / Google and it's a much rarer occurrence.

Fly is definitely among the unreliable ones, so you're paying for a simplified deployment / ops experience here - the heroku model.

Even at that, configuration is not the easiest and there are gotchas you need to know. Documentation is also pretty sparse and the example images were stale. Getting a build to work was a huge pain.

The free offering is nice, but I'm not recommending it for production.
I get why some chars aren't used, but why the N and U?
If the editor only has trouble displaying Arabic and does not somehow mess with the unicode representation then you should be fine. Ie you could paste an Arabic string into a JSON file, it might look like shit, but should still render correctly in your app or website (assuming you set the text direction or language properties right)

And you can always double check in a different editor to be sure nothing gets messed up. I use VS Code which, likely because its browser based, seems to get it right as well.

Completely seriously I'd like to see English get rid of capitals. They're almost entirely useless and confuse learners for no benefit. On top of that kids books that use a font that makes I and l look the same annoy me too.
If you're on AWS or GCP or Azure, and they terminate your account, and you use only the "standard" services (raw instances, k8s, database, redis, queues, email, etc.) it's generally relatively easy to migrate to one of the other two.

Fly is different enough that moving to or from it takes much more time and effort.

I came here to ask a similar question, but for one's own self:

I currently rent AMD 16 core server with 128GB RAM and 2x2TB NVME drives for around $100 / month from Hetzner. Price for equivalent hardware on Fly (without mentioning drives) is $1,126 / month.
I have written several GUI apps and a virtual machine interpreter using FPC/Lazarus. It is great for cross platform GUIs and it compiles to standalone native code unlike C# (for a long time, before native AOT, which is still in development for Winforms). In my experience library dependencies are also more manageable, likely out of necessity since there's less temptation to just depend on off-the-shelf popular libraries which happens more often with C/C++. The Lazarus IDE has a builtin package manager for additional libraries and if you find what you need there, it will work smoothly. Unlike C/C++ it is also nice to have "interface" and "implementation" on the same file, making the project less cluttered. There are differences to learn, but that it is to be expected from a non C-family language.

On the other hand, I have pet peeves with the language that prevent me from using it for more ambitious projects:

FPC has no "inline" var declarations, and the community is even against it. My code is math heavy with many "transient" variables so the dedicated var section at the top of the function gets crowded quickly. Recent Delphi now has this, but costs have to be taken into account if you want to commercialize or deploy cross-platform. It seems that the real reason for this is to help the compiler be fast instead of helping the programmer.

Case insensitivity might be a minor thing, but it is there and you have to deal with it.

Then optionally dropping the parentheses for functions with no arguments hides the fact that you're calling a function which possibly does something else besides just reading a value.
You describe an effect as a data structure which gets interpreted and applied by the appropriate driver (for the lack of a better term).

Think of how we do it on the wire: we send a description of a event (command/effect) to an API server which routes/dispatches it to something that applies an effect. It’s not a function call, but a generic (implementation agnostic) description of intent in pure data.

It’s like that but inside your program.

I don't know what you're talking about.

This is not a flamewar, it is what is called "counter reasoning".

There are people claiming that USA (and only USA) suffered because someone else's incompetence, but I lost a friend during COVID in the USA because of the undeniable underestimation (to say the least) that the Presidency of US showed.

He would have lived if he was in China.

So, please, if you have to ban me, do it, publicly, so a record will remain that in this forum criticizing the US leads to a ban.

There's no better way to prove my point: US is not better than China when their interests and their image is on the line. They would do anything to silent critiques, including killing innocents.

Like they have done to so many people in my Country, for no other reason than being not 100% aligned with their colonial plans.

Please, do what you have to do, I won't stop criticizing the US mentality whenever i deem it necessary. Because, you know, when I was young I was a supporter of the US because they fought against the "single thought", but now they have become it.

If the "hacker news" has become the place where an yet unproven mistake is proof of "incompetence" or worse "a genocidal plan", than HN is no different from VK.

According to the latest census data[1] there are 5.7x more white people than black people in the US. If I indiscriminately killed people I would be 5.7x more likely to kill a white person than a black person. I'm sure you could say "most" the people I killed were white and hence it was an anti-white act, but that would really be missing the forest from the trees.

Of course, that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Yes. But building an exception into the billing system and possibly accumulating charges below $x over a longer period might just not be worth the effort.
Can I Compost It? – The Fastest Way to Know What Goes in Your Compost Bin
Composting is a great way to reduce waste and nourish your garden, but it can be confusing to know what items can and can't be composted. That's why I created Can I Compost It? - a simple and fast way to find out.

With Can I Compost It?, you can quickly search for any item and get a simple "Yes" or "No" answer, along with some tips on how to compost it properly. My real-time database is constantly updated with new items (and if you search for something and it's not in it, you can suggest it, then I research the item and add it to the DB). I included compost categories (brown or green) and references when applicable.

I first had the idea for this webapp years ago, and after some initial development, I posted it on Reddit (here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lifehacks/comments/xicg1y/find_out_...). The response was overwhelmingly positive, with people asking for additional features and thanking me for creating a useful tool. I took their feedback to heart and rebuilt the webapp from the ground up using Nuxt.js, Tailwind, and a Google Sheet database. The result is a lean and efficient webapp that's easy to use and navigate.

Can I Compost It? is free to use and ad-free.

Keisaku said in the Reddit thread: "This is the kindve site that makes me want to put a dedicated tablet in the kitchen."

Now this is something that motivates me! Admittedly, this is a one stone two bird project: I'm trying to create something useful and at the same time, use it as an excuse to hone my dev skills.

Next up, I'm working on a mobile app that will allow you to snap a picture of an item and instantly find out if it's compostable. My goal is to make composting as easy and convenient as possible.

Try out Can I Compost It? today and start composting with confidence. And if you find it helpful, please share it with others who might benefit from it.

Thank you for your support!

Big mood. I can relate!

It’s crucial to get out in meatspace. Meet people. Travel. Experience things. Make new connections. Tend to old friendships. Relationships need care to survive.

And art. Don’t forget about art! Think about it. IMO, art is necessary for the survival of the mind.

I'm confused, are you implying a simple mistake made by natives all the time means the author should be outright discredited or something?
Consultants aren't the problem they are the symptom. Some of them deal with issues that need to be dealt with (geological studies, looking at vibrations, etc), many of them are there to help with the massive overregulation which means you need to produce a report that no species of frog or insect is going to be upset by your new infrastructure project. The more regulations, the more consultants you need to deal with them.

But my understanding is that the primary source of cost overruns is rather endless appeals and the authorities changing their mind many times over the life of a project.
That's not critical thinking then, it's reactionary thinking. Critical thinking is a tool for challenging our own beliefs and assumptions.

Sometimes, however, you don't even get a full article text when the paywalled site loads. In those cases, no amount of Scroll Into View will help.

For those cases try something like Google Cache or Wayback Machine! It still won't always work, but it's nevertheless got a pretty good success rate.

Good to know. I'm paying anyway because I have other accounts there with bigger charges and I actually want the service, including the small personal account (which really shows as a separate transaction on a bank statement).
Assigning blame is not so important here. Finding out what happened is so it can be prevented from happening again.

But the US could perhaps push for openness considering they contributed financially. Though I suspect they already have and failed.
They were everywhere, but you just learned to ignore little notes on library noteboard. Unless you wanted to study dialectic marxism or everyday anti-fascism or islamic poetry or history of labour movement.

There was only one good study group ever in Helsinki, and I was actually a teacher there. I was asked to give some lectures on CNC-machines on "Computers for the elderly"-study group. But it ended, because could not make it comprehensible enough without actual CNC-machine and without legal license of Autocad.
I'm not an expert but I have gone down both the Arabic font creation road and the custom segmented display roads - not at the same time, of course.

My understanding of Arabic is that this would be _exceedingly_ hard to generalize into individual, discrete glyphs that could not only be broken out into their own segments but then repeated in a way that makes sense.

The only way I could personally think of is with matrix displays, which act more like normal displays.

This is because even though it is an alphabetic script, the blending between characters is non-trivial and highly dependent on the sequence of glyphs, which causes an explosion of possible combinations depending on what's being written.

That said, you can always design segmented displays that show _any_ shape or script, assuming you don't need to change them.
Google Trends is showing basically noise for that phrase. The majority of black people polled agree with that phrase. I highly doubt most respondents knew of a trolling campaign from six years ago.
MSA is Modern Standard Arabic to save others a google!
That’s a much more interesting comment than the top level one. People generally care about learning experiences and explicitly subjective statements.
Yes but due to malnutrition, dysentery, accidents and a general lack of public health and medical care, not because their parents crushed them in their sleep.

> Such as trying to avoid it in C for clean error handling, when there's no reason to avoid that.

Dijkstra would clearly disaprove of this use of goto. But he would blame the C language for making it necessary. Languages with structured cleanup (like the using clause in C#) does not need to use gotos for resource cleanup.

Dijkstras argument does not distinguish between short and long gotos or long or short functions. His argument applies to any use of goto.
