Show HN: Fiolet Hive – crypto payments that you will like
Hello Hackers, I'm Dan from Fiolet. At Fiolet, we focus on web3 recurring payments.

You can use Fiolet Hive for:

- Subscriptions
- Pay-as-you-go
- Live Payments

It works in 3 simple steps.

1. Users connect their payment methods for recurring charges.
2. Сompanies make invoices according to their pricing models.
3. Fiolet links company requirements with customer's ability to complete a transaction.

We allow companies to create value for users without thinking about how to get funds from them.

To get started, follow this guide: https://github.com/fioletxyz/api#getting-started

We would love to hear your feedback on Fiolet Hive! Please share your thoughts with us in the comments. Thank you!
I followed through.
I don’t know if I’m reading the tone of this reply wrong, but I didn’t suggest in any way that that’s the only problem with it.
You linked to serde_json and not serde, which this story is about. And the crate sizes listed include not just the source, but also test code and other project files.
Of course it was good.
Agreed. I'd even go further and say that apart from humphrey_json, the alternatives GP presented provide complex interfaces for simple features. They provide no easy way to convert to/from a strongly-typed struct, which is the reason for serde_derive.
> Twitter (I refuse to call it X)

Same energy as "I refuse to call it Meta"? I wonder why such thinking takes hold in the first place. It is fascinating someone would so invested in products like they'd be in sports, for example.
Depends what you count I suspect. Is the sign above a store front an ad? Kinda! Is a brand logo on a shirt an ad? In a way. Is the Netflix ident at the beginning of an episode an ad? Pretty much.

All these things are considered by marketing departments, and while they might not always be explicit advertising, they do the same thing, building a brand image, associations, and mindshare.

I'm sitting on my sofa and I can see 26 things that could be considered adverts, and my TV is off.

Edit: >30. I haven't moved, just realising what a capitalist hellscape I live in. Thankfully my laptop stickers are facing away from me.
> I‘ve gone through a ton of comments below and see a lot of contradicting evidence to your thoughtful suggestion.

When you make a huge generalization like "the northern states I'm from primarily developed their culture from Scandinavia and Germany and tend to be more 'ask' than 'guess'", it's possible to immediately find tons of counterexamples. It tends to make people feel good to find flaws with generalizations, but they then argue too far the other way. "Since there are many counterexamples, your claim that the North is mostly 'ask' and the South is mostly 'guess' doesn't hold water."

But what exactly are they saying? The Northern US and the Southern US are exactly the same? There's no possible generalization to make about the cultures from either place?

Instead, at every possible delineation people have made in their counterarguments (poor vs. rich, urban vs. rural, man vs. woman), I find the same generalizations mostly apply. A poor northerner is likely more "ask" than a poor southerner, based on who I've met. Northern men are generally more "ask" than southern men. My wife's father is certainly less intensely curious about my needs than my own mother, but he's far, far more curious about my needs than my father, and almost every other northern father I've met. I've met a great many people, and lived all around the US, so I'm not just shooting from the hip here.
Would it not be $20, or does eve acquisition cost not factor?
Does AMD do better on that?
Not a Rust developer by trade, but from the offending pull request (https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/pull/2514#issue-1810688422) it seems to offer 10x compile performance on first compile with small 3ms overhead on incremental compile.

Is it worth it? Maybe. Downloading blobs isn't ideal but could be made easier in the future. Ideally a hack like this wouldn't be needed and we'd have comptime serde.
Yeah, the whole Java ecosystem for example is built on binary dependencies, and is a very healthy one in spite of that. The same holds for C#/.NET and Apple frameworks. Having the source available, or preferably open, and preferably with reproducible builds, is of course desirable.
I wonder if that will replicate...

You are just back around to describing Xserve again. Regardless of whether it is software or hardware-based, an Apple Cloud has no upsell in today's market. That's why Xserve died, and it's why it would die again.

How I know the person who wrote this doesn’t understand user acquisition.

They give an example that their conversion rate on their website is (cue some heavy math /s) 0.16 % so if they want to acquire X customers they need to bring in Y traffic.

But of course anyone who has done even the most basic user acquisition knows that the way you achieve a visitor to your site is more important than the visitor. Customers who show up organically have a vastly higher conversion rate than the randos who show up from your ad, in fact many of them probably aren’t even going to be real so your conversion rate is going to nose dive as soon as you start using paid acquisition. Happens every time.
Why didn't they stop and investigate after the first $10K or $50K? That ad budget is nuts.
At this point SSDs are so cheap, I'm inclined to just buy a 7.5TB Enterprise SSD from Kioxia for $800 and call it a day.

I understand that's pretty expensive for a hard drive and probably not in most people's budget, but having an enterprise drive seems like it would avoid most quality issues.

Also, 7.5TB of SSD space is a good amount to last me a while.
This is incredibly easy to setup, just tried it for first time.

How fast is it supposed to go?

Just tried on linux with `cmake .. -DGGML_OPENBLAS=ON` on a AMD Ryzen 7 5700g (no discrete GPU, only integrated graphics)

Transformation matrices are code. They are instructions how to transform something into something else.

However, code is just data for a compiler.
But I would assume you would build it in your own hermetic build system and use those artifacts as the reproducible artifacts, since you don’t trust the precompiled distribution. Instead you would start your chain of trust with your build.
I’d say get a domain and use a personal website to post content you care about.

I like windy.com but my regular goto for weather the past few years has been spotwx.com. For wind, this is a lot harder to read but the accuracy to three days is incredible: https://a.atmos.washington.edu/~ovens/loops/wxloop.cgi?mm5d2...
Why do you believe that would be the case? People sometimes cause a million dollars' worth of damages in a car crash, and insurance covers it, and somehow regular folks can still drive under this system.

What is the motivation of the state to allow driverless cars at all? It is bound to create problems, what does it gain them? Serious question.
Well, Lisp is just as functional as ML-family languages like OCaml and F#. Haskell's typed/pure FP is a branch off of this. Surely between Pike, Griesemer, and Thompson someone had some ML experience, but this doesn't matter much for the design of Go. More important is that newcomers can't be expected to have ML experience, and a central goal of Go is to be quickly accessible to new programmers. And there was also a focus on fast compile times, fast execution, and low-level control, which are very hard to achieve with immutable data structures. Overall Go's design is very restrained, which I think shows a lot of wisdom on the part of the authors. ML is not the only language slighted: as Rob says, the only bit of APL that made it in was the name "iota"!

I think it'd be a bit of a shame if everyone were pushed to be a polyglot with a finger in every currently popular paradigm. Connections between different approaches to programming are very useful, but the sort of effort made in Go, to refine and simplify one imperative/OO approach, also helps push our understanding of programming into new territory.
I didn't say anything either way. I think everyone can agree that losing a huge record of how it happened is a big loss.
The first computer shop that I went to as a kid (back when computer shops were a thing) had a very distinct smell that still evokes very strong memories for me now. I guess it probably wasn’t the computers themselves, but maybe that foamed rubber material used for mousepads and such, plus maybe some static charge in the air from CRTs or something? Any time I catch that smell, I’m immediately back playing Loom and Monkey Island and oogling at Pentiums and 1 GB hard drives.
At least Linux, OpenBSD, and (with more annoyance) Windows make it relatively straightforward to run things like build.rs in a sandbox. I wonder why Cargo doesn’t do this.

There was also a project (that dtolnay was involved in, I believe!) a few years ago to compile proc macros to wasm.
What I imagine is that a smaller car would have better “fuel efficiency” in the sense of how much time it takes to charge. If you charged for 20 minutes with a particular charger I think the smaller car would be able to go further than a big car. As charging can be a PITA on road trips I think this would be a selling point, note

My nearby gas station recently replaced their gas pumps but they were exceptionally slow before and I would be resentful of people in line in front of me that needed many more minutes to fill a huge tank when I could fill my small tank much more quickly.

It is a problem that the industry is refusing to make affordable electric cars and sales of electric cars are tailing off because the intersection of people who want electrics and who can afford luxury cars is not great. If US, European and Japanese carmakers won’t do it, Chinese carmakers will.

"recruiters that don't know the industry beyond buzzwords. this is frustrating"

I am not even in the Tech Industry (Plastics Manufacturing Engineering), and this is the case. There are maybe... MAYBE... a handful of recruiters that have been in the business, working with my industry long enough to actually know what the heck they are talking about. They are ones that have actually gone to plants, gone on tours, asked questions, and tried to understand the difference between a dryer, a hopper, and a barrel on an injection molding machine. Modern recruiting is as much a numbers game as modern job hunting (for the most part) and it is completely idiotic.

I don't have really any advice, just wanted people to know that it's not just Tech that is seeing what you're seeing. The rest of us career professionals (16 years here) feel your pain and empathize.
My apologies if I wasn't clear, my point is only the full blown object oriented style of programming (meaning one where everything in the program is modeled as an own entity with its own state that responds as it wishes to a set of messages) is silly. The "everything is an object" idea.

Objects with no associated behavior or state aren't objects, *by definition*, and there's plenty of code out there that benefits from data with no associated behavior and behavior with no associated data. This happens even in true OO languages like smalltalk.

Attempting to model everything as "objects" (read: own private state + behavior) not only may have performance implications due to poor cache usage and multiple indirections, it also makes modelling certain concepts harder (see: object-relational mismatch). The example I gave is a clear example of the latter, since it is very much a relational problem. (Eric Lippert has some very good articles on the matter).

That's not to say objects aren't valuable (they appear as a pattern even in functional languages) nor that "live" software isn't a great idea. Personally I think a lot of software would benefit from extensibility, which means plugins at least, which in turn means objects (private state + responding to a set of messages as they wish)
I am not the OP, but I just don't have the mental bandwidth or care to invest in these random swings and title changes at the whim of billionaires. I don't use either site, am not in tech, and my social circle will still refer to either as Facebook or Twitter. Maybe a relatable example: There are a couple major roads that have been renamed in the last ten years in my city and everyone still uses the old names in conversation.

> The competition would be to offer cloud services that has a better experience just like they do for phones and others. The macbook pro was always more expensive and yet people still purchase them.

Which is both less relevant and quite different for enterprise services than consumer products. It's also not that obvious that Apple has a lot of expertise in this area and could provide something better than AWS/Azure/etc.. and Apple is not exactly the company which is willing to compete on lower margins.

> The biggest orgs tend to run all of their builds sandboxed, including what happens with build.rs. It's part of how they enforce dependency management day to day, but also helps protect against supply chain attacks.

Sandboxing doesn't completely prevent supply-chain attacks. You can avoid getting persistent malware on your CI machines, sure. Exfiltration of tokens and secrets during build? Maybe in a small handful of CI setups where admins have carefully split the source fetch, or limited CI network access to Nexus. Exfiltration of tokens and secrets and/or backdooring after the software has been deployed to production? No, build-time sandboxing doesn't help here at all.

On all developer machines as well? No. Very few big orgs do this and only for mission-critical stuff. Some very important ones have docker-based sandboxed workflows or SSH-to-sandboxed-cluster workflows, or air-gapped laptops but that's very, very rare (I worked in air-gapped environment for a bit and it was a massive pain).
Definitely a matter of when, but that’s also the case for nuclear fusion. Trouble is these perennial 5-10 year away things seem to always be later than we expect.

Awesome!

I'm imagining a workflow where textual can be used as a progressive enhancement for a cli tool, in case the user doesn't pass in all required flags. A web frontend for that view will make it more comfortable for even more types of users.... :)

python code_format.py --file app.js => textual isn't used/invoked at all

python code_format.py => textual is used to show user a DirectoryTree file dialog, then exits

I'm assuming this could work via "App" return values: app.exit({ file: "app.js" })

Do you have any examples of textual being used in this manner? If not, no worries
I still call it the Tappen Zee bridge, not because I’m a big enthusiast for Dutch and Lenape. It’s not so much being invested as not wanting to give in to the rebranders.
This claim has always been very odd to me. My own thinking is, rather obviously, both. I have an inner monologue but it's not entirely word-based. There are mental visual images, and I often gesture with my hands reorganizing imaginary collections of objects while arguing with myself. There's also words going on too.

There is also thinking through proprioception. The sense of awareness of the relative placement of the body in space. That, like the other ways of thinking, also overlaps quite a lot with both visual thinking (moving around imaginary objects) and lingual thinking (writing words in the air idly or sub-vocalization). It is probably not appreciated enough as a mode of thought.

Anyway, I suspect it's something of a false dichotomy, and it's not a binary/multi-way clean split, but that most people think like I do -- in a mix of modes, to varying degrees, using all their senses, all their models of the world, simultaneously. But the assumption that I'm relatively normal is the usual conceit here, isn't it? :)
I don't get it, this is just WPF
Problem is some CS grad comes along, sees this and thinks "What if that were HTML?" and now we have the current state of front-end development. Sad. All we really want is a const o = new Div("#my-thing"). I remember doing XAML development back in the WPF hay day. 2009-ish. Csaml and Xaml are pretty close. I hated Xaml a lot. So much so that all the views and components I wrote at the company I worked for were done using Canvas + DrawVisuals as to avoid Xaml all together. Funny, sad, ironic, and nostalgic all at the same time.
No worries, nowadays we can just generate a new one.

Thus the bridge burner usually becomes the "this person" for people who see it because nobody wants to work with an arsonist if they can avoid it.

You tried to fix the bridge and couldn't. Just cross it and continue on your journey. Good luck.

Safety is the first rule, yielding the right-of-way is second. This was not an emergency vehicle behind the Cruise car, it was an emergency vehicle entering an intersection against the signal (running the red). They are supposed to stop and proceed only once they verify the intersection is clear.

Another example is when you are at a red light and an emergency vehicle comes up behind you with their lights & siren activated. What do you do? Wait where you are for them to go around, or the light to turn green. Firefighters everywhere urge you not to run a red light just to make way for them, because it makes everyone less safe, including them.

This predates WPF. I believe Xaml 1.0 came from this iteration but I don't work for Microsoft so I can't say. It looks awfully similar though does it?

Yeah everywhere I’ve been at back to 1995 does this for high security environments, and if we detected an issue we had security response teams that worked with maintainers and others to remediate.

For lower environments we generally used 3 month or more embargoes on precompiled stuff we couldn’t easily compile ourselves to mitigate some of the supply chain issues if we weren’t directly managing the chain of trust for the binary.

Sounds like a combination of an unpolished product with insufficient demand and wrong business model. Users today don't want to pay XXX up front for a complicated product, they want a free tier where they incrementally learn about features.

I just looked up what I spend on Google Ads for a small campaign on SQL/AI related keywords for https://aihelperbot.com:

- $699.95 (part of a spend $400 to get $400 deal)

- 244K impressions

- 3.68K clicks

- 15 conversions

The conversions where "Begin checkout" events for a free trial period (I now run free tier). I don't know how many actually end up paying or cancel the free trial within the first week. Was it worth it? No. But I would consider advertisement once I reach a bit higher revenue. I talked to multiple newsletters who cater to my customer segment but it is still too expensive for since I am bootstrapping myself.
it's actually mind boggling how bad the average marketing exec is at most tech startups, there's companies that have raised 10s of millions that have absolute garbage implementations for analytics and tracking. Lots of people just bluffing their way into high paying gigs and throwing money at ads to get results. Even massive companies like Uber and AirBNB threw away hundreds of millions because of dumb ad spend without proper tracking:

uber - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25623858

airBNB - https://www.wsj.com/articles/airbnb-says-its-focus-on-brand-...

I'd hire an affiliate marketer who built their own website and grew traffic to make some money over the average VC backed marketing exec. Same goes for most big corporate marketing types, their skillset is worthless for a startup. Any person who has made $1 online from scratch would be better
