API7 Cloud: The Next-Gen API Management Platform
Hi fellow hackers,

We're excited to announce the launch of our API Management Platform, API7 Cloud (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/api7-cloud), which we just released yesterday on ProductHunt.

API7 Cloud is designed to simplify the complexity of managing APIs, making it easier for developers and businesses to build, maintain, and scale their APIs with confidence.

Here's what makes API7 Cloud stand out:

1. High Performance: Built on top of an open-source, high-performance gateway Apache APISIX (https://api7.ai/apisix), with ultra-low latency.

2. Advanced Security: Offering features like rate limiting, IP filtering, and OAuth2.0, API7 Cloud ensures that your APIs are always secure and compliant.

3. Ease of Use: Our intuitive user interface and comprehensive documentation make it a breeze to set up and manage your APIs, no matter your skill level.

4. Flexible Deployment: API7 Cloud is available as a managed service, on-premises, or as a hybrid solution, giving you the freedom to choose the best fit for your infrastructure.

5. Rich Ecosystem: With built-in support for third-party integrations, API7 Cloud enables seamless connection to popular tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger for monitoring, alerting, and tracing.

6. Developer-Friendly: With a RESTful API, SDKs in multiple languages, and CLI support, API7 Cloud empowers developers to work efficiently and automate their workflows.

To celebrate our launch, we're offering a 30-day free trial with no commitment required. Head over to https://api7.ai/try to get started and experience the future of API management.

We're eager to hear your thoughts, feedback, and questions. Our team is here to support you, so feel free to reach out in the comments or via our support channels. Let's build better APIs together!

But is this a true falling tide or simply McDonalds pandering to investors' expectations? That is, look ma, we're so serious and worthy we're laying off people too. Imagine getting paid the big bucks to make such decisions.

Bankrupt? Better to look for companies where leadership runs counter to "prevailing conventional wisdom" and actually leads for others to follow.
I mean conceptually. If they can tell you what you can or cannot do, they’re government because they’re literally governing you.
It's hard for me to imagine guns or imperial units catching on any time soon (to be fair, we didn't invent imperial units!), but I would not be too surprised if some European nations start slowly privatizing bits of their healthcare systems. The profit motive is sneaky and creeps in slowly. Usually it starts by capturing the hearts and minds of those in power.

And regarding attitudes toward women's bodies, one only needs to visit any beach in southern Spain and count up the topless women to notice those values are already Americanizing.
One of those songs was a big inspiration to Delta, if you're into chiptunes.

I only use AM radio to hear traffic alerts, which in my area are all on AM.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelers%27_information_stati...

There is a similar license for low power FM, but has slightly different licensing requirements that makes FM less suitable. But even if those requirements were waived, I suspect that new cars without AM radio will be in the road well before state DOTs procure FM equipment and cut over.
Pay is just low at lots of private companies in the U.K. You may not get a php developer who knows they could easily get more, but you might get someone who has spent their career at companies that somehow get away with paying much less.
Is there any reason he needs to know even the bank account number?
The issue with Linux for me is how crude and unpolished the desktop environment is compared to windows and Mac. For the average user the desktop is everything and Linux lag way behind on that. Why are there basically only 2 choices on Linux and both have the same boring font?
Pure nonsense. If China’s TikTok (or douyin to be accurate) were focused on those, it would never have been popular in the first place.

Source: I am Chinese who does use douyin and have seen much discussion on China’s Internet on how douyin is addictive and damaging to children.
Price comes down when meaningful competition enters the space (see what I did there?)

OneWeb seems about ready to start offering service. Remains to be seen if the offering can compete with starlink but good chance it will apply downward pressure to prices.

Then in the medium distant future there is Amazon's constellation that will have to compete with starlink v3 or v4 or whatever they're up to by then.
A running friend of long standing--we met in the last half mile of a 50-miler in 1982--said a few years ago that her knees aren't up to much more than two or three miles with the dogs lately. Now, she was a much more serious ultra-runner than I ever was: I took away from the 50 the knowledge that I really didn't enjoy that distance; she did at least one 100 (in less than 24 hours) and a multi-day run longer than that.

But as HN likes to day, the plural of anecdote is not data. Nor the dual: but for what it's worth, I haven't run a marathon since 1986, not have I stopped running.
They force supply chains to reconfigure regardless of public opinion. If legacy auto continues to build combustion vehicles they can’t sell, it’s a death sentence. They already have a debt load exceeding safety while trying to move to EV production at scale.

But sure, ignore nation state regulations as a multinational at your own peril. Not my debt to service in a rising interest rate environment.

The meme is that great engineers make bad people managers. They can still be engineering managers, and have a business/HR people run the org and try to make underling engineers productive, while the lead engineer is responsible for certifying whatever gets engineered.
Experience varies. No doubt some can help and there are better companies but there are often those that can't as well. There's a side where all the managers / decision makers are so far removed they don't even know what the tech we use on a day to day basis is.
enchiladas for the win!
The geography wouldn't be a problem if maximizing use of the land was done. You point out the choked development processes, but other open geography locales would still have those bureaucratic problems in cases and yet just sprawl out elsewhere, reducing prices. Take a look at Houston, Dallas Fort-Worth, Calgary, Edmonton metros. There is a reason those metros have retained low housing prices while they have grown so much. They are able to grow out. Vancouver and SF are much more limited in their ability to grow out Single Family Homes when high-rise development is choked. That's why the geography issue does have bearing.
I would bet it’s even harder to shield gasoline vehicles. But this was solved a lifetime ago.
these prompts by definition do not need engineering because they work for all cases all the time. and they can only get better over time
But it's a feature that comes in quite handy, for only a few dollars of manufacturing cost. I tune to road status AM radio all the time when driving over the mountains
The problem with bookkeeping is not the actual work but the nitty gritty nuances that constantly take attention away from where it really needs to be. Having a reliable and skilled professional take care of it is worth it many times.
I'll bet 70+% of the money that ends up allocated will find its way into established isp pockets with absolutely nothing to show for it in return.
Not really. Douyin is heavily into e-commerce live streaming, more like the Home Shopping Network if you will.
Just one?? I guess that's progress!
Computers are tools. You're supposed to learn them because they make you better at something else. There is no virtue in being a Linux wizard; if anything it's a stain on Linux that wizards are even a thing.
“Baking pancakes with Rust, a delicious recipe!”
You forgot gun violance. The statistics for that are insane compared to any other country
"shielding" kind of glosses over that the components in EVs tend to emit more electromagnetic interference (EMI).

This article seems to be a nice overview of the issue:

https://www.radioworld.com/columns-and-views/guest-commentar...

I guess implementing a receiver that is isolated from the interference can cost more than a few cents though (because it's the whole signal path).

AM HD is digital and much less impacted.
You started and then perpetuated a hellish flamewar in this thread. That's seriously not ok on HN. Please don't do it again.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
This is similar to how "numbers racket" lotteries in the early 20th century operated, so that players could trust that the outcome could not be rigged: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_game#Gameplay

(The film "Force of Evil" is about a plot to nevertheless rig the outcome.)
Here is the claim that triggered your gymnastics:

> They did murder an American journalist for criticising their rules in his writing

In your quest to bust the myth that they killed an American journalist you are missing the point. The point is that they did murder a journalist. Here I am going to extend this even further: they murdered another human being.

This reminds me of a great exchange in a classic movie: https://www.quotes.net/mquote/9306 The exercise to map this to our discussion is left to the reader.
It's actually not all that different from the Burroughs large systems architectures (B5000/B6700/A-series) which were initially released in the late 60s ... stack machines, similar descriptor based memory structures, tagged memory etc etc

Burroughs instruction streams are on byte boundaries, and had variable length instructions starting with 1 byte, including long ones for making useful literals
I had this with the IRS. Someone hand reviewed the form and used a highlighter to highlight the two digital signatures that were identical (they were, but not placed exactly the same, so im surprised they noticed) and said “this is not a legal signature, please sign again in ink and return”.
GMRS radios also barely with within an EV vehicle surprisingly. Was only a few car lengths behind friend on a road trip, couldn't talk to them over GMRS radio, but I could pick up truck and boat traffic from miles away! We had to go back to using our phones to coordinate pitstops!
> For example; if the EU is so "dead" then why do US manufacturers respect its regulations?

I don't want to take a side on this one, but is your argument here really that US capitalists have high philosophical standards on what market they'll enter?
> I find that teams who complain about their manager very often don't trust their manager and vice versa. Building up that trust by getting both sides to work on improving comms fixes a ton of problems.

Sometimes it's beyond that. The problem can be layers up where neither the manager nor the rest of the team can solve. The team wants changes / improvements but the manager is powerless or forced to act in a certain way.

The amount of stretches people make in these threads is amusing. There's enough real things to care about, don't need to set completely unrealistic standards you'd never impose on yourself or 99% of others you didn't already despise.
If I'm not mistaken, one of the reasons Proton is necessary is DirectX (Windows native & Proton) still does a better job of handling a lot of things than OpenGL (Linux native), so while you still see the same house (the game), the graphics foundation underneath is completely different. And say what you will about Microsoft (don't even get me staaaaaaarted), but DirectX is polished. It might even be their best product.
> The question is "what is the most efficient way of getting hydrogen at the source?"

Who said anything about hydrogen? You can directly reduce iron electrolytically: https://www.siderwin-spire.eu/
They could drop everything if they brought back the double DIN slot. Such a simple solution but it doesn't jive with the times. We really can't have nice compatibility anymore.
This pattern is seen literally the world over because the lowlands are, with very, very, very, few exceptions more fertile than the higher areas (former peninsula vs former lake bottom, hillside vs river valley, etc) and people aren't idiots so the farm the best land and build their dwellings on the lesser land.
Pretty sure cpu is not a limiting factor here
Most are barely getting by. Most can't afford sudden major emergencies (car breakdowns, medical expenses, accidents, etc.) and most are living paycheck to paycheck.
>"Be sure to make your consequences clear and visible. When consequences are too subtle, players won’t see them. Bring back stuff from earlier in the game at the least expected time. Design for the visibility of consequences; investing in something not telegraphed well is mostly not worth it. Figure out how to the player visibly see what the consequences will be."

Disagree with this and I think interestingly enough even large amounts of mainstream players have started to disagree with it. This gamification, ironically enough not a good thing in a game, does not take the player seriously. If you have to put exclamation points or guardrails around your game you are taking responsibility away from the player. It's like riding a tricycle.

Contrast this with Elden Ring which deliberately ditches almost all of this. You can miss 80% of the game on your first playthrough but that's entirely up to you. And the experience of finding some gigantic world below the surface that just exists, with entire stories in it but completely unadvertised makes it seem incredibly mysterious, like nobody even designed it, you just stumbled over it. It gives an incredibly level of depth to a game world. There's this underground area full of gigantic trees that looks like a Hieronymus Bosch painting with a gigantic corpse in it and my first thought finding it was basically "am I the first person here?, do the developers know this exists?". A world having that much of a life of its own is a hug feat for a work of fiction.
They don't work fine for everyone.

I'm building a custom storage engine for a CRDT at the moment and I don't want my data corrupted under any circumstances. Writing code to do this reliably is painful. Even figuring out the rules is difficult - is fsync enough? fdatasync? Will it still corrupt on power loss events in modern consumer SSDs? How do I test / simulate my software under these failure conditions? If I get an error when I fsync, what assumptions can I make about the state of my data?

Some atomicity rules seem to be page-size specific, but I can't find any way to query the OS for the kernel's page size, or the page size of the underlying device. The status quo is horrid.
What kind of shows do you get/ have watched down there because i know some shows are very regional in terms of licensing
Terraform has a non entirely declarative layer which generates entirely declarative representation which is then applied using providers. This may be a tenious difference from imperative, but it is the crux of it and this is what you want when managing resources.
so good you had to post it twice on the same day? :D

That's an important point but not likely the bulk of the issue (vs Node). Deno that uses V8 is also faster than Node. Node has a lot of other issues before we get to the Javascript engine part even.
amazing receiving feedback like this, thank you for putting all this thought!

non-commercial open source orgs usually lack the budget for bounties, and so they'd miss out on this utility. we shipped a sponsorships feature in february (1min demo: https://youtu.be/cl-1tQaN-40) to eventually ameliorate this, but have kept the feature in alpha. it could be tied into the crowdbounties as you described.

we also think there can be an advantage to having both in the same app.

just taking it one step at a time.

would love to chat about this (cal.com/ioannisflo) & keep you updated (ioannis@algora.io) if you'd like, once again really appreciate your feedback on this!
This ethos "if its important to you bring your own" is literally the opposite of user-first development. We've strayed deeply and meaningfully into premiumization and only the consumer (human beings, like us) will suffer.
I keep a Baofeng VHF/UHF radio in my car now (~$22 on Amazon) to scan around when I'm stuck in traffic. It doesn't have AM, but there are VHF weather stations[0] (and military and first responder frequencies and all that - you can see how HAM nerds get into it) if you want. In theory you can also broadcast on certain frequencies with it, but you also get into FCC licensing territory with that. Overall it seems a lot more useful than an AM radio.

That was the plan for Windows 10X, this would’ve been used as a Win32 compatibility layer. But that plan was killed (hardware compatibility?) and the UI was ported to regular Windows 10 to make Windows 11.

I get much worse performance in the swamp… I loaded up to fight a dragon and it was choppy and unplayable. It looks like the enclosed sections perform better but most of the outside isn’t so good :(
And anything opposing it is instant downvote :p
For what it's worth, I knew a guy who was in a similar situation to you, struggling in and out of a career he'd done for decades and was previously great at because of burnout. He fully gave up with his career in the end - bought a van and ran a landscaping business for a couple years (didn't work out but he doesn't regret it) and now he organises music festivals on people's farms and seems happy. He's not particularly wealthy (but not poor either, lives out in the countryside in a lovely big house) but seems to be doing really well.
So much this. I'm on Starlink in Sydney because Australia's NBN decided to stop their fibre rollout 600 meters from my house and decided that the only option they would provide me is old geostationary satellite. 4G reception is middling with pathetic data caps. I get 5G reception too but none of the providers will offer home broadband services, only mobile Wifi. On Starlink I get ~250mbps down at a price only marginally higher than what I would be paying to get the same speed on a fixed line connection.

I can't be the only one in a situation like mine. Prime candidates for Starlink. The NBN closed quotes for running fibre to my residence. Even if I had the tens-of-thousands to pay for them to run the cable they won't even consider taking my money currently.
not just systemsound but also background noise. if i am listening to an audiobook while out in the street, i frequently have to adjust the volume when the street noise gets to much.

unlike listening to music where missing some lyrics might not bother you, for a book every word counts, and if i miss something because a noisy truck just passed by then i have to skip back and repeat.
The HV components emit more electromagnetic interference, which you hear on a cheap AM radio.

They can mitigate it, but probably not for near zero cost.
yes yes. how could making it harder to track + automatically redirect you to the https version of a website make you less susceptible to scams?

some people...
Interesting, I felt the opposite - consistent mismatches between the expectation and reality of Cyberpunk’s dialogue choices. A lot of optional dialogue was just cues to make the NPC roll their eyes and explain obvious “subtext” to the biggest dork in Night City, instead of a cue to play out two inhabitants of this world just naturally discussing and elaborating on a point of shared understanding. V’s lines in mandatory dialogue weren’t much better, though, so perhaps it’s a problem with CDPR’s rigid vision of what “V” is supposed to be like - simultaneously a cyberpunk native and a fish out of water. Either way, I had to politely ignore and headcanon most of it to get any actual role-playing satisfaction.
Need some garbage collection added?
Every italian region has a dialect. Even Meloni herself can be clearly recognized as being from Rome based on the choice of words and pronunciation.

I find that beautiful, but this law seems to be against it
I've really wanted to try making a hash table that works like a Swiss table but that stores the metadata interleaved with the rest of the data (16 metadata, 16 key, 16 value, repeat). doing so would keep your memory accesses closer together, but be a pain to program
What surprises me is that the description seems to imply a wooden framed piano.

They exist, but they are notoriously difficult to tune and keep in tune compared to iron framed pianos. I think they have stopped making them for quite a while. I find it hard to imagine a high school using an instrument requiring so much maintenance.

If it was indeed a wooden framed piano, it was probably more of an antique than a practical instrument, and so, maybe with ivory keys, though again I doubt it.
Tesla hasn’t ever had AM radio in their cars? What are you talking about?

I just right now double-checked and my Tesla Model S plays AM radio just fine. (EDIT: Granted it’s a 2013 but still.)
Windows isn't free, though upgrades have been for a while after major releases since 10. You pay for it with a new PC or you have to buy it for custom built PCs.

ChatGPT was trained on data from 2021 and earlier, and tends to hallucinate. It's not a reliable or original source.
How will the readers find you?
Except it’s false. My Model S plays AM radio just fine.

Edit: my Model S is a 2013, and apparently they’ve been phasing out AM on new cars since 2018 or so. The original point (that Tesla never used it) is still wrong tho.
I thought the Cyberpunk story was pretty good, but the game mechanics pushed you toward the next quest in the main storyline all the time. This resulted in me burning through the main story quickly, then being presented with "touching" messages from all the characters during the credits. Except I barely knew who any of these characters were, since I'd hardly done any of the side missions where you get to know them.

So yeah, pretty great story scripting, voice acting, and character animation, but it was heavily undercut by some core mechanics in my opinion.
It seems like everywhere wired up for electricity should be able to have fiber. Or are repairs still so intensive that it really needs to be buried?
this is like deciding to go and use redis when you need an array internally
You can double the performance of this whole thing by inserting 2 values at a time.
I'm sure they are going to keep the spying onstar module and its anthenna. Unlike AM radio, onstar has no use to the driver, but it has so many uses for everyone else.
> people aren't idiots so the farm the best land and build their dwellings on the lesser land.

… but are also happy to have their workforce live on the lower land too. Hmm.
Got it, I stand corrected (and better informed). Thank you, too few internet conversations are this constructive.
Drilling for methane adds GHGs to climate change.

For DRI, use a solar power tower to directly heat ore with "syngas" made similarly with solar heating and a renewable carbon source.

Such a setup can approach closed-loop production and emissions capture.
I meant JS but too late to edit.
Serving a ~100 mile radius with a 5kW antenna is not "large amounts of energy." That's about how much a single cell tower uses, and those outnumber AM towers by several orders of magnitude.
Here's an entertaining video introduction to Anglish: https://youtu.be/aMA3M6b9iEY
