Show HN: I built developer tooling for the Airtable API that I needed
As a software engineer, I've experienced firsthand the challenges of working with the Airtable API.

As more non-technical users began using the platform in our growing business, the need for engineering to automate processes and sync data into Airtable grew. However, keeping track of process failures and ensuring that no unresolved failures slipped by was difficult and required significant effort.

That's why I created Airwalker, a toolkit that improves the reliability of processes using the Airtable API and helps you correct issues quickly and with minimal effort.

Here are some of the features Airwalker offers:

* Base schema timeline

* Request/response logging

* Edit & replay

* Custom automatically maintained TypeScript types

Airwalker is free to use right now, and I welcome any feedback or suggestions.
It shouldn't be all that confusing. Biden was elected because the only actual alternative was worse.
Had a job that wanted me to do a PROCTORED Myers Briggs test as part of the interview process. In addition to a IQ test.

Thanked them for their time and moved on...

My recruiter didn't understand why I was running for the door.
Saab is weird, it has really bad fuel economy in the city ~12L/100km but on the highway it's alright, around 7L/100km which is not great but not far off from modern cars.

My wife has to travel about 360km round trip between cities, which with the current fuel prices is at least 50EUR. Same trip with the Tesla costs usually around 3 EUR when charging at home during the cheap hours at night and has never cost more than ~15EUR even during the crazy electricity prices and/or fast charging.
Public Transit > Cars for both individuals and society, if the infrastructure is there. Maybe we could devote more energy and resources on developing and improving that infrastructure before 2035 so that cars, electric or otherwise, are less necessary?
That’s one way of looking at it certainly. However I’ve never in all my life voted in any election where my vote had any capacity to have any bearing whatsoever on the outcome of the election. This is by design: America is about clumping people together into voting blocks so large that first past the post dynamics prohibit any but the most conventional of viewpoints rising to the surface.

What have the “far right” changed? And was it through voting or other means? In a sibling I admit violent revolution as a plausible change causer, and claim it is unique in that regard.
"Spain on how politicians are willing to sacrifice a country to please pensioners".

Funnily enough that is exactly what Macron is also doing, because the under-discussed part of the current reform is that it does not put in question the current pensions which are absolutely massive based on what french pensioners paid in.

But of course when you bring it up these people will try to gaslight you into the idea they built the society you enjoy today, unironically pretending that when they entered the job market in like 1965-70 Europe was still in ruins after WW2, and you simply don't want to work hard like they did.
Furthermore, Ali Rahimi's "Test of Time" award talk was heavily criticized by Yann LeCunn:

I did something similar as an AutoHotkey[1] script on Windows[2].

I just hit Win+N, a small window appears, I write a line of text, hit enter and it gets saved to the quicklog.txt.

I can see this being framed in terms of math now too: this demonstrates a closed-form solution vs. an iterative one.

I run Traverse (https://traverse.link/) - an app which helps students learn faster using mind maps, flashcards and notes.

It's been running for over 2 years now and provides steady recurring income - I've prioritized continuity over exponential growth. Have reduced operational work to a minimum now so I can spend most of my time working on marketing strategies to make it big ;)
The OP may not become jobless, but would lose motivation to learn more (same as a recent post on HN about a designer demotivated due to their work now centred around midjourney).

As an analogy, people in robot (I use the term in a loose way for machines) assisted warehouse find the work far worse than one without robots, because the job becomes soulless and centred around the robots, making it much less fulfilling.
But the C trapped in plant bodies comes from sequestered atmospheric CO2, no? It's not possible to permanently increase atmospheric CO2 purely through livestock, only "temporarily" increase methane (permanently, if we keep the livestock industry running forever).

There is only one place that actual surplus carbon comes from, and that is fossil fuels. Everything else is part of the closed-loop carbon cycle.
Me too, and I was disappointed to see this comment section mostly full of people either blaming the author or explaining why their experience actually makes sense.

It's like a positive feedback-loop (though I guess morally negative) between manufacturers, developers, and users, all three dragging/pushing on the other to roll down the hill of faster hardware and heavier apps, none of them really in control or able to stop, and therefore also not directly to blame. The upgrade-train to Waste City has no breaks. Still, it seems to me at least that the manufacturers are the only ones strictly happy about the situation.
Conveniently Slovakia is small enough to make it possible to improve already well-functioning public transport to eliminate most personal reasons to use a car. What's lacking is money and political ambitions.
I just think that monster threads are hard to skim if you haven't been following them from the beginning. On big forums, I'll go through the list of threads to see if there's something interesting. The thread titles make it easy to skip stuff I am not interested in.

If there's a thread with 100 pages the title probably says little about the topic. There's probably some interesting comments in there, but I don't want to go through 100 pages...
You can still buy apps on iTunes for Windows can’t you and then download the “last compatible version”.
Wow pork emits less than chess and farmed fish! Very interesting!
Wake up at 5am. Drink some coffee by the fire.

Then I quietly meditate for 20 minutes before I start any work.

Periodic meditation and prayer throughout the day.

My day depends on what season it is. Winter time I'm writing code. Summer time I'm farming and building.

I strive for a 1% improvement every day.
As a UK electrician, you can have power outlets in your bathroom. However, it has to obey certain rules. For example, if it is a BS1363 socket, it must be 2.5 metres outside of zone 2 (basically not close to any sinks or baths). This restriction does not apply to switched-fused connection units [1] so you can have an electrician install one of those next to your toilet regardless of how close that is to your bath or sink. These are also used for e.g. heated towel rails.

On a related note, I've once had to reproducibly generate a random sequence of N-bytes, and one of the more elegant ways I discovered and ended up using was to 'encrypt' a known sequence of bytes with the required length (so that the sequence will be long enough) with some known 'password', and truncating it.

`( yes '00' | head -n 100000 | tr -d $'\n') | xxd -r -p | aespipe -e AES256 -P <(echo 'your-seed')`
GPU shaders have time?

As for game logic-it does make sense. Tying logic and rendering to a system timer / frame counter leads to all kinds of issues.
TBH, things like airbags, power steering and automatic traction control do make the car safer.
I think the blame can be put on the closed ecosystems of phones. On laptops and desktops, with the possibility to install any OS, it's more often possible to meet the requirements of up-to-date frameworks using the same hardware. My laptop is from 2010 and is still running everything I want, it's up to date and responsive. With the current hardware of phones, and even their hardware of 6 years ago, I don't see any reason why they should be changed, other than being closed platforms where one cannot control the OS.
That's fair, and I'm not a compiler engineer so I'll avoid making authoritative claims :-). But a C/C++ compiler is a whole thing, with some pretty intense performance requirements, wouldn't you say?

Mainly I was speaking from the experience of trying to write more complicated parser & tree transformation pieces in Rust and finding the ownership stuff a hassle.
Well naturally if your relation to art is that shallow then to you it is a genuine risk that it might be replaced by an AI version.
Your best bet is going to be to get one of these: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1....

and then find an rasp pi project that makes it work similar to freewrite

however you can also do this just fine with the inkplate, just program the arduino itself to have type-writer like behavior

i'd recommend researching to understand the display refresh rates and how well it'd work for something like adding a single character
I won't trust these proprietary Electron-based apps outside the browser sandbox either.
I'm not a fan of forcing civility, myself, as the forcing, itself, is uncivil.

But I do feel that it's OK to establish a community/context, where a set of rules governs the decorum, and allow people to either join, or leave. If people don't want to abide by those rules, then it is OK (incumbent, even) for the community to sanction them; but only in the context of that community. I'm not into calling up a troll's workplace, and trying to get them fired. I think it's OK to ban them, though.

They'll vote with their feet. If they like it, they'll stay. If they don't, they'll leave, and it will wither on the vine. Elon Musk is doing exactly that, with the new Twitter. Personally, I don't want to play in that sandlot, but a lot of others, do. I won't go and try to stop them.

I've spent most of my life, in a mutual support community that has a very specific culture and set of rules. We don't have a police force to enforce them, but we also won't change them for any rando that insists that we do so, for their convenience. We've been doing things this way, since before I was born, and will continue to do so, forever (hopefully).

It's like walking into a Jewish Temple, or Islamic Mosque, and saying "I love pork, and it is my right to eat pork. I also want to join your organization, so I insist that you start allowing the eating of pork."

Even worse, in the organization that I'm involved with, there are commercial interests that would like us to change, and we can get some very strange pressures. Sort of like paid pork-eaters, showing up at synagogues, and demanding pork reform.

Just let the dervishes whirl. If it's meant to last, it will. If not, it will become another footnote in history.

It may also change, but that's no guarantee, and I have watched changes destroy good things. Good ol' Chesterton's Fence...
Tyres noises are not what spikes my blood pressure in the middle of the night. Those are engine/tailpipe noises.

I kind of would have preferred they just be strong about it but they are following the west's lead here in pretending like the government and major business isn't just the same thing
There is no system high-end enough to allow your ears to magically hear 96kHz, or even 48kHz. Unless you’re very young with golden ears it’s extremely doubtful that you can hear a 24kHz tone. It is absolutely snake oil.

https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html is an overview by the creator of Ogg and Vorbis explaining exactly, scientifically, why these inflated sampling rates are snake oil.

That's something I enjoy about Age of Empires 2 lobbies - you can hop into a big 8 player FFA, two people are clearly going to dominate, two people are building cute little NPC bases, and everyone else is in between. The focus is off you, but you still have your own little drama trying to do your best in a chaotic world.
Public transit only works in cities. And only in cities where crime is mostly under control.

Many people don't want to live in cities, especially during times of crisis (when they become increasingly dangerous places), and we're living in a seemingly permanent state of crisis.
From my understanding of it and having to take it a couple times at different jobs, it seems like a reasonably coherent categorization system for certain aspects of personality.

Where it falls apart is making predictions about how individuals will react to a certain situation or how people will interact with each other. In that I've never seen it do better than just what a socially competent person would accomplish by going with their judgement and intuition, and often worse.
Also there is a record company called Apple Records that has a litigious history with Apple, it could be not worth the potential trouble.
I am pretty certain there is no general closed-form solution for Game of Life because it's Turing-complete; although for some initial configurations (gliders etc.) you can have a simple (or not so simple) expression, in the general case you simply have to simulate it step by step, no other way around it.
> Apple does not give you the freedom to use old versions of software.

Not only can you use old versions of software, you can download them again if you reset your device.

Visit the purchased tab in the App Store and select the app you wish to download again, and you will receive the last compatible version for that particular device.
You don't need either. We as humans are very good at communicating with each other even if we use different languages. What is important is not the words that are said, but the interaction between humans, which include much more than just words.

If you talk with a stranger it is usually something along the lines of needing to find a place or person, wanting to eat, drink or sleep. As people are intelligent, most will understand just from the situation what is the likely mission or needs of the stranger. The other purpose of talking with another person is to socialize and establish acquaintance or friendship. An AI will not help you with establishing a human connection. It is all in the tone of voice, the body language, the eyes, the smile.

If you want to communicate anything complicated or different than the above, a written translation is preferable. In almost all situations, using an AI voice translation will be met by the reaction "Why is this creepy man bothering me?"
It's sensible advice. You shouldn't use exchanges to hold your crypto anyway
How silly is that?

Remember how people laughed at Windows users and the Windows OS? That you have to reboot daily or else it slows down?

Well, these days, my Samsung flagship actually pops up a notification every once in a while, reminding me to please reboot the phone to ensure smooth operation. There's even an option you can turn on to make it automatically reboot every night!

(I imagine that option doesn't automagically skip the SIM card lock and the Android security lock, so IMHO running it is insane, as it would make the phone unreachable until you wake up and unlock it properly.)
Your feeling is wrong. Here[1] are all the LSL games as supported on Linux via Proton, they are all playable (yes, even the red/borked one as that's actually Linux native). Most games are usually pretty well supported by Proton[2], for example all the big releases from Playstation games (God of War, Spideman, etc.) have had day 1 support as well as a lot of other big games Cyberpubnk 2077 had day 1 support as well. The main exception being multiplayer games with anticheat is the biggest roadblock right now. Though progress is being made with all the big AC engines (EAC, Battleye, etc.) working in Proton but needs to be enabled by each individual developer.

Oh indeed, it's just where do you draw the line? If a car has a very small range-extender engine that's only used occasionally, the occupants' exhalations could rival it!
I've never heard of interaction nets (which just shows how overspecialized CS can be: I guess I have a PhD in PLT?); so... I wikipedia'd it up. I normally don't trust Wikipedia any further than I can throw it, but ... "interaction nets":

For some definition of "simpler", sure. You could also look at it that an EV requires a functioning, efficient global system of engineering design, mineral extraction, and manufacture. There are very few countries that could claim they can make an EV 100% domestically, and the only one that comes to mind has been working very hard to put themselves in that position.
Explain why you think the monetary supply should in any way be tied to the ability to process gold ore?
I ate first keto and then carniveore years ago - did put on weight actually. yes, including organs and looked for supplements when needed. Now that I am pescetarian (mostly veggies, though) and the weight slowly comes off while I feel noticeably better than before and health markers finally go into the right direction.

Just a data point with N=1.
I'm a citizen of a small European country. I use quite a few American services. Does this mean they are subject to my country's law?

Binance used IP-based locking mechanism (easy to avoid with a VPN). Similarly, I saw US-based websites that blocked access to European customers because of GDPR, and I've circumvented their geolocks using a VPN. Does it mean that I can sue them for not following GDPR now?

I'm not trying to argue for Binance here, and I think that US compliance and anti-money laundering laws are reasonable. But I wonder if your position is that "everyone should just follow US law", or is it more nuanced.
> You can't cover most either. It's only feasible for high concentrations of population.

That's already most people all by itself.

> Nobody in this situation is going to buy a 25k car (expensive) with extremely expensive repairs, and this is not even taking in account the extreme rent-seeking practices most brands have been practicing this years.

100% with you on that; but I'm not expecting electric cars in Europe to cost that much in 2035. You can get them less than that already in Europe, and my expectation for future EU:2035 is closer to the market in China:2022 than to anything (say) Tesla is pushing.
> on BBS systems originally!

I'll never forget being awoken because someone felt the need to page the SysOp at 2 AM on the Compaq laptop running my BBS in my closet.
I have done the real Myers-Briggs process a few times. It takes a day for a small team, and includes several interviews, the test, and meetings. The test on its own is pretty pseudoscientific (and gameable), but if you know someone well you can usually guess their MBTI type without a test. However, the whole process is not a bad medium for introspecting on whether your process works for the individuals on the team, using the "scientific personality profiles" you just developed to talk about your style.

For example, one team I was on adopted a meeting agenda before our weekly meetings (the Amazon "6-pager" idea), ostensibly because of the prevalence of IxxJ personality types on the team, and it helped several people become more open.

As I understand it, there are now better personality inventories and processes for this, but Myers-Briggs was the OG.
Unless you specifically enabled it, iOS does not get automatically updated.
> they do some... stuff to it.

They put a special sticker on all of your cameras and inspect if it is still there on the exit.
This is the McKinsey strategy in action. That consulting company laid out how to do it, then seeded all their other consultation gigs with "you've got to outsource to China."
The fact that all new cars will be electric doesn't magically prevent 2002 Golfs from functioning.
> Technology advances quite a bit in 10 years

It certainly hasn't for mundane tasks like browsing the web or playing simple games. I recently bought a 10 year old 21,5 inch iMac for my kids for around the price that a same sized, also full hd, brand new screen would cost. Only that screen doesn't come with built-in i5 CPU, SSD, Gigabit and AC networking. It replaces a 2011 Macbook Pro only because I want something stationary for them and not something they get tempted to lug around and drop on the floor. Apple doesn't allow the latest OS's to be installed (though there are ways around that[0]) but I haven't felt the need for it.

So unless you need raw performance or extreme power savings because you run your device 24/7 there should be no need to get the latest and "greatest".

If you want a fair and simple solution that applies to all companies, how about this? If an American company isn't allowed to operate in a foreign country, then don't let companies in the same industry from that country operate here. So TikTok would be banned here since China bans Twitter, etc.
The local garbage trucks are also all electric, while the public transport was already (let's say 90%).
I went from 89kg to 71kg in a space of 1.5 - 2 years. The main thing is to just eat less (and avoid processed food as much as possible). My main principle was to eat fresh and eat less. I did a good amount of exercising too in the start, but I observed that even without significant exercise, as long as I ate well I did lose weight. I put not many conditions on what I ate, except mostly avoiding sugar and sugary foods at home (still ate them in social situations).
Also Italy and Poland supported Germany on this. I suspect that the real motivation is that the automotive industry in these countries creates loads of jobs both directly and indirectly. Electric cars being simpler and needing less maintenance will kill positions in the 10s of thousands.
Sure, but now you have to implement is_union (I guess 'not is_class' is not going to work :) )
I purchased a used iPad for reading sheet music and it turns out it's so old none of the apps on the appstore will install and most web pages won't even load because it doesn't recognize the SSL certificates.

At least I can still load PDFs onto it.
Consider who climate change is going to impact most? The climate transition, mass migrations, ecosystem collapses etc are going to hit the most vulnerable people the hardest.
AdGuard (the full, paid version for MacOS) is the way. I don't use Safari anymore, but I'm still happy enough with it to not install anything else for other browsers. Unfortunately, the iOS version only works as an extension for Safari.
