Hey! Thanks for the nice words!

You're correct about the intonation, and thank you for pointing out that example. Before we run the text through speech synthesis, we try to adjust it to be suited to conversational language. While this helps to address most intonation issues, there are still a few that slip through.

Another challenge we face is using domain-specific language, like C#. It's a bigger issue, but we're actively exploring different solutions to overcome it.

Glad you're finding this to be a useful service, we will be covering a lot more than HN.
Small claims court doesn't need much financing.
I seriously doubt that's the case. I think the vas majority of people are stuck in jobs they don't especially enjoy or care about all that much and would gladly do something different if they could but life often doesn't allow for such changes.

So for them, telling about their jobs is kinda meaningless. There's a million other things you can say about yourself that would tell me a lot more about you than the job you do.
Remembering the Kanji is for learning how to write kanji, which does help with reading as well, but that's not its primary purpose. If you actually do want to be able to write by hand (which I think most people (understandably) don't want to invest the time for), it's well worth the time investment.

> it's not something you should spend your entire focus on before you start learning the actual language of Japanese
This is also true. You can do both. In fact I think you /should/ do both, learning new vocabulary using the kanji you've learned so far to help motivate you to learn more. It's quite addicting when you can see your progress day-to-day.
> more than just telling them your job title

I feel like it’s everything but the title. That always sounds so weird. Your job isn’t director or whatever, it’s doing things. And even if you’re signalling, there have to be better ways of getting across you’re a neophyte or a big shot.
Firefox has tons and tons of C++ to this day.

Donation income is risibly small.

People will sign praise your work, tell you how much they depend on it, and how it changed their lives. Others will ask you tricky questions that really ought to be asked to a lawyer.

...and they still won't donate a cent. I get about 70 cents per thousand unique visitors. About one in every 14,000 visitors donate. Affiliate income is roughly 100 times that without trying.

Let me put it differently: with the same traffic, donations barely cover my groceries, and affiliate income is a comfortable salary.

I'm at peace with that. I make free things for a reason. It's just something to keep in mind when suggesting donations as a business model. Doubly so as an alternative to ads.

Another tidbit: praise people who create the things you use. It feels so good to know that people use and love the fruits of your labour. I've become lavish in my praise after experience the effects of it.
I take your point but that is not a problem that is unique to software.
I stopped asking people what they do, and instead ask ‘what are you about’ - always gets an interesting answer, after the initial perplexity of the question.

Where is this fairy country Australia? Living at the western fringe of Greater Melbourne, any charging infrastructure is invisible here, I'm not sure it exists. And $45k or $70k alike both look incredibly expensive to me, I would never find a reason to justify such a purchase. Perhaps going to consider a second-hand deal when the price is below $10k and age is over 10 years, provided the longevity of the battery would look good for the next 10 years and there are "wagon" options on the market.

Honestly cannot understand who are those subsidies for. Recently I witnessed a few times a scene on a parking lot, which appeared to me as a group of overjoyed young people congratulating their happy mate about acquisition of a new ride (invariably a fancy Shelby Mustang or a mean-looking BMW, and invariably on their Ps) - you know, sniffing under the car, patting (the car and the lucky owner) on all surfaces, marveling from all distances. Laughing and selfying. The average age within all those groups, to my judgement, was around 16yo, so I highly doubt they could make full use of Salary Sacrifice incentive. And families like mine will always consider paying for a new car a complete waste. Going "carless" is also absolutely not an option, so if we must spend we're looking for maximum value and minimum outlay.

Think there are large regional differences here. My experience from living two years in Boulder, CO a while back was that the first intro question was always "what did you do in the weekend".

This is a bit like other vector/array languages like Matlab or APL: 145 isn’t considered a ‘scalar’ but rather an array containing one element. Though it can make defining how to deal with different shapes for some operation like + tricky. One idea is cycling when one vector/axis is shorter. Another is to special case vectors with one element. Another is for these singletons to be, in some sense, zero dimensional arrays and then you can just have broadcasting with errors if one shape isn’t a prefix of the other.
Hello, author of Aura here.
The project is in fact active! But in a different branch called "ambience". Which is a very big refactor into transforming Aura (which is now designed to be run locally as tui) into server/web application. It would allow to automatically monitor and audit all used python packages in an organization by using an http reverse proxy to intercept python package installations. It's taking me currently long time to finish that big refactor as I am currently the only active developer there so apologies if the project seems to be abandoned, I'm just hesitating to merge the changes from ambience branch into main (which is what people see) as the new refactor is not stable yet as compared to master & dev as that was tested and tuned on the whole PyPI.

Very early alpha version is available here: https://ambience.sourcecode.ai if someone is interested in checking it out.
It depends on how much of a browser you want to implement I guess. Comparing it with a compiler is a skewed comparison I think; compilers are built as part of many people's college/university education, but are only a small part of turning programming language into working software. Likewise, I'm sure most developers on here could feasibly write a web browser that can fetch websites and render the HTML.

But that's just one aspect, next you need to add support for CSS [1] and Javascript [2], each of which has had lifetimes of work invested in the standards and implementations.

So yeah, while it's doable to build a new browser, if you want to build a big one that has feature parity or is on-par with the existing browser landscape, you need a large team and many years of work. And that's just the practical aspect, the other one is, would a new browser actually be better? Could it compete with the existing market? So many players have just given up over time.

Becoming Rustacean: Resources to Learn Rust Programming
In my experience this is something that pops up where people emigrate for high paying jobs; (Relative to average salary).

It involves stating the type of position someone has, the tier company someone works at, which somehow demonstrates the persons value = (position * tier).
Then because this is the norm people this is how people befriend each other, or how they attract love interests.

I'd just chalk it up to human nature.
SS13 has given me some of the best memories playing games, ever. A playable AI, objectives that each class needs, a few PCs playing sinister characters... it was so. much. fun! My favourite mode was the "Thing" mod, where one player was the "Thing", you could turn into people you killed, but players at the start of the round didn't know which mode it was, so they wouldn't know (until you were found).

Getting access to the AI and rewriting its rules so it killed everyone on the ship or helped you at the expense of others

Honestly, I spent a summer playing this game and it was marvellous. Even with the horrendous lag that the game suffered from.

It must be about 12 years ago I played this, still one of the best multiplayer games I ever played.

> There is absolutely nothing wrong with charging a fee for a service

Agreed, but percentage-based fees can quickly become an unfairly large part of payments. I love the idea of this project, but I'd prefer there to be a 5% or X dollars minimum, so that if 5% is more than X dollars, then it doesn't force 5% minimum. If I'm donating $500 to 45 projects, then each project on an even split is getting $11, but thanks.dev is getting $25 even though their service isn't actually in use by my app/service. Seems unfair to me.
Oh.my.god.

> Germany nowadays reduces its emissions faster than France

Comparing derivative doesn't make much sense if the starting point is wildly different.

When do you think Germany's emissions per capita will be lower than France?
> You say last-mile services are trivial, but they absolutely are not trivial in the slightest

I'm German. Europeans in general have tons of experience with running public transport in constrained-budget scenarios. Just ask us if you need help.

> and assuming they are demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of how change gets made in a democratic, even republican, manner.

If democracy doesn't implement change on its own, rising prices of gasoline, changing attitudes of Gen X and demographic requirements (SAHMs with nothing to do but drive children around on errands won't be around for much longer given that these women will be part of the working class by necessity) will.

Those still thinking that they can keep on living like they did since the 50s are deluding themselves and their peers. Democracy can't override market forces or nature.

> However, similar to the tram situation, a bus still does not get you directly to your home.

You can make bus stops dense enough to achieve walking distances < 200m. Unlike trams, buses can stop very fast which makes dynamic stops (i.e. the bus only stops when people want to enter/exit) possible and most bus lines already operate that way.

> As a last-mile problem, not all people are physically able to bike from a train station, though ebikes do help.

You're constantly bringing up the "not everyone can use it" point, which is valid on its own but no one, even the most radical Greens, calls for banning people with disabilities from having a car as transportation. The goal is to get the remaining 99% of local/regional individual-transportation traffic to use shared services.

> This service is more conceptual, but I imagine you're thinking of a Waymo-style service, where you can summon an autonomous vehicle which will pick you up at home and take you to-and-from the station. The main issues here are availability and reliability. If addressed, you'll likely crack the suburban transportation nut, but such individualized transportation in cities isn't sustainable.

I rather thought of electric "micro buses", think like the size of a VW T4 van, that autonomously drive in a 5-minute schedule through the suburbs and people just can hop on and off wherever they want. Basically, just as flexible as a car, but usable by everyone. Your idea is also great, but I'd not say that it isn't sustainable in cities - to the contrary, especially cities will be going towards that route. Already, London drastically restricts driving into the city, a number of city cores in Germany are no-car, Barcelona plans to have 60% of it's streets car-free.
If many open projects are funded via ads, will Copilot tools crater open source revenues by reducing traffic to documentation?

Interesting. The attendees of the meeting on February 3rd, 1998 certainly all seem to think that they at least independently re-invented the term, so the term can’t have been very common. The meeting was held two weeks after the announcement of the release of the Netscape source code, and the announcement did not use the term.
Sure. Plenty of financial regulation is newer. Crashes and frauds just in the last 100 years have created lots of new laws.

But the thing is people want fast and anonymous payments, but don't acknowledge that traditional banking isn't doing that so well (especially in the US) because of laws people want even more.

E.g. given the choice of easier international payment or fighting mob money laundering, people will say the latter.

Well, they'll say both, but cryptocurrencies only even try to do the former. (Failing, because it's anything but easy for almost everyone)

As for your HTTPS analogy: mass surveillance is less law enforcement and more spy agency shit.

Even for messaging, the messages are rarely the harm. For money the moving of money is the harm.

As an industry we’ve taken a long and windy path to delivering full applications (with a local cache) on every load to a sandboxed environment that is mostly compatible across environments.

While it’s easy to take shots at the current state, I find it hard to imagine another path to delivering a cross platform application over the network. What we have now is actually pretty rad.

We built it stone by stone, incrementally, and now I don’t have to package my application for N platforms unless I want to meet users in their app stores.
I had to consciously decide to find it cute.

It’d cause too much conflict otherwise!

Quick searches seem to suggest the processing is about $100 per ton with resulting materials worth several times that. Do you have any figures comparing mining vs recycling for these materials? And more interestingly, trends for those numbers? I imagine the recycling costs will improve due to increasing supply of input materials while the cost of mining will remain the same or even increase (as available resources shrink)?

I think that there will be a new successful browser one day - and it will be disruptive. But it needs two properties:

1. A unique use case or feature that cannot be easily implemented in the existing browsers. Something that breaks the current architecture and turns the current use cases into afterthoughts. ("oh, yeah, right we actually need to render html somehow at some point, can the intern do it?")

2. A significant breakthrough in software engineering productivity, a major step in terms of abstraction and safety. Something like the combination of a LLM and formal methods.

This browser does not check these two boxes (using C++, albeit hopefully a more modern dialect, and targeting plain old browsing). So it is certainly great for the spec - and should be paid for by the W3C, IMO, great for the people developing this as an exercise, but it will never dethrone Chrome.
Is this something you know from experience or are you armchair guessing?

All this "quirks mode" stuff is part of the specification, no? It makes it all a bit more complex than it has to be, but I do believe it's specified.

I'm not really sure if "you need to be bug-compatible" is still true; it probably was 15 years ago, but Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit tend to be pretty decent these days.

Auditing is only one problem.

Why is granting permissions an all-or-nothing approach?

Perfect time synchronization over a network with unknown latency is provably impossible.

Fairly certain distributed physics experiments will be using atomic clocks that are not synchronized over the network. And/or they'll use direct satellite or GPS time sources which have predictable latencies.
This is great. Refreshing to read something which talks about complexity as a real and important issue (not as a positive or neutral aspect of a system). I've been hoping for a browser like this since the day I tried to download the Chromium repo and found out how large it was. Also, I noticed that it had a large number of external dependencies which made it very difficult to actually dig into the code.
> So instead of [building the browser one feature/spec at a time], we tend to focus on building “vertical slices” of functionality. This means setting practical, cross-cutting goals, such as “let’s get twitter.com/awesomekling to load”, “let’s get login working on discord.com”, and other similar objectives.

Seems similar to how Wine is developed: instead of just going down the list of API functions to implement, the emphasis seems more on "let's get SomeProgram.exe to run" or "let's fix the graphics glitch in SomeGame.exe". Console emulators (especially of the HLE variety) seem to have a similar flow.

Big problem is the constant feature churn in the web space. Getting from zero to browser is probably doable. Staying at the mark with the ever shifting CSS standards and the constant deluge of web extensions is hard and expensive.
