Because there is - potentially - a lot of money involved and I like to do that sort of thing on an environment that I control. No smartphone here so the web is all I have. Money transmitters are operating in a heavily regulated domain and KYC/AML requirements are going to dominate the discussion, any operator that wishes to be taken serious should list up front what they are going to require and why as well as to state clearly who they are (physical location, names of execs) rather than to post from anonymous low karma accounts with urgent calls to action. Also: inside the EU money transfers are already fast and with minimal costs, I use these daily and any claims of improvement should be backed up with proof. 99% seems very strange as a claim without a comparison matrix listing prices. My immediate concern is that if their claims are true that they must have some other way of making money of the transactions that is not disclosed.
It depends if that structure ever burns or rots since this would release much of the same carbon back into the atmosphere

If Intel didn't have those problems, Intel would still be ahead of TSMC, and the M1 might have well be behind the equivalent Intel product in terms of performance and efficiency. It is hard to justify a switch to your inhouse architecture under these conditions.
I loved Facebook during 2010-2014. Everyone would post their silly photos or some super inside joke that only people in our classroom could relate to. It was soo refreshing. Crush liking your photo etc. Now I don't even remember my Facebook password and the last time I logged in I remember it was just some shitty hyper local meme/news page with crass content. And I dont have an instagram account. Feels good to just connect one on one with people directly on Whatsapp nowadays.
> but using any external command not written for Nushell will be cumbersome at best, and incompatible at worst.

As someone who uses nu as his main shell for the past few years, this is not my experience. Nu has great tools for adapting programs not written for it. And if your tool already produces a standard format as output, like json or toml, you don’t even need those things.

Well, it depends. I like Lisp just fine, but all the Lisp ways of producing HTML are extremely unergonomic for those not already in the Lisp ecosystem.

Someone below posted a link to the clwiki page (I think, not sure) for a list of HTML-generation libraries. I've used some of these before, and they require the user to actually know Lisp well enough to program in Lisp.

I wanted something I can hand off to a junior who doesn't know any Lisp (and doesn't really want to), while still having something that makes it easier to type out HTML.

The `l2h` program is a compromise of sorts between ergonomics and flexibility. It's more effort to use actual Lisp, but you get more in return when you do. It's less effort to use `l2h`, but there are more limits when you do.

> You could replace the = sign with a space, then you can have (a :href “/news”). Perhaps ::required for an empty attribute. This makes it better for macros.

I made a note of this. You're correct about it being better for Lispy macros. Another responder elsethread pointed out a few things that could benefit the usage (imports, macros) while maybe not adding too much "cognitive overload" (AKA Too Much Lisp).

This project has only had about 6hrs thrown at it so far, so it is still early days.

I do appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
Ask HN: How do you think of the idea of automated dev project initialization?
Hi, I'm a software developer and each time I get a new client, I have to setup the project from scratch over and over again, pretty repetitive.

For example, install project (framework), setup server, repo, and deployment, connect domains, etc.

So, I'm trying to research and learn the response of what other developers think of this.

Could you please share your feedback on this idea, or any thoughts that might be helpful?

Thanks in advance :)
The docs have more info: https://docs.orbstack.dev/

And a comparison: https://docs.orbstack.dev/compare/docker-desktop

I think you'll find something you like in there :) To name a few: Performance, CPU usage/power efficiency, automatic domain names for containers, access to volumes and image files from macOS, native app, and more.
I think it’s a good habit to EXPLAIN all your production code. But watch out for the fact that the same query can optimise differently on different instances of the “same” database. Because the optimiser uses table statistics to find the “best” execution plan so if your dev/test have different datasets, or the stats are not properly maintained, you can get completely different execution plans between each system.

Hey!

Just wanted to say that this doesn't impact OpenTF too much. It's an extra step we need to take before a stable release, but long-term it'll make us more decoupled, which is great.

As someone else commented, all providers and modules other than Hashicorp's are hosted on GitHub and the registry is just a "redirector". We'll do something similar, other than some special handling for Hashicorp's providers.

Also, I know you want us to finally publish the repo - we're working very hard to make this happen and it should be a matter of days now.

Disclaimer: Work at Spacelift, and currently temporary Technical Lead of the OpenTF Project, until it's committee-steered.

Please use neither. Reason is as number of lookups varies, you'll have to template query as a string adding either values to IN list or `OR` conditions. Not only it causes excessive string concatenation on your app side, these queries are also seen as distinct queries which has following drawbacks:

- every query has to be planned

- your DB driver can't prepare query as they are all different

- collecting per query stats becomes nightmare if number of arguments per query varies in wide range. metrics cardinality is a problem.

Correct way to handle it is pass all args as single parameter of type array and use `= ANY($1)` or if there are multiple columns build a virtual table and join:

SELECT a,b FROM table
NATURAL JOIN ROWS FROM (
unnest($1::type_of_a[]),
unnest($2::type_of_b[])
) t(a,b)
> If you removed plantations from the listed forests, people would be shocked.

The vast majority of Canadian forests are not plantations and are, in fact, actual natural forest.

In fact, we learned our lessons about "mono-culture tree plantations" in the 80s and a lot of replanting is mixed except in areas that already had naturally occurring mono-cultures.
Hidden away yes, but it’s amazing. It creates a totally new way of consuming informational videos and everyone here should try it. You can scroll through the transcription vertically and tap on any bit and the video instantly jumps to that point - basically the transcription is the new seek bar. And about 1000x better at the job. No more skipping back to somewhere roughly where you stopped paying attention and just letting it play for a bit until you get back into the thread - now you can jump around with surgical precision. It’s like how you can easily skim back and forth in a text article, but with a video. It’s a total game changer and I find it bizarre that it’s so hidden away so most people won’t find it. It also works particularly well when casting from your phone to a TV, using the phone as the navigator. Oh and the transcriptions are about 99% accurate, which is good enough for me.
The reason you can't understand it is that your entire premise is faulty. The EU already forced Google to unbundle parts of Android (while also issuing a 4 billion Euro fine) about 5 years ago. Specifically, for Android it's the device manufacturer who decides what gets pre-installed on the phone. The EU required Google to not make preinstalling Search and Chrome a precondition of getting to install the other apps.
Yeah, I'm not arguing for humungous screens. It just seems like window managers aren't up to scratch for that much real-estate, and the traditional "two full screen windows side-by-side" setup enabled by dual monitors is simpler. I am just skeptical that a single (especially 1080p as in the article) screen could possibly be the most productive environment for a programmer - that goes against what everyone experienced when multiple monitors started to become the norm, albeit with worse resolutions back then I guess.

If you don't need a legal name, a "name" field suffices.

There are plenty of situations where you need their full legal name as per passport or other form of identification. In here it's often some form of anti-money laundering laws. The first time I came across it was for a game show where you could win money, but to take the money out of the app, the law required some legal identification.
IMHO this article shows a clear misunderstanding of what social media is.

Humans are culturally used to interacting with limited sized communities, probably even evolutionary idk.

When social media was new it was still limited sized, even through it was global, due to filter and it not yet having been adapted everywhere. (note: the term "limited sized" is a bit oversimplified, through I think most people will know what I mean)

Then it tried to add many more ways to uphold the illusion, e.g. by adding better filters and similar.

Then people moved to mainly consume social media platforms which do not create the dynamics of a more limited sized community, sure.

But they never did stop posting on social media which did have that property!

For example discord, which was fundamentally build around the idea of having limited sized communities with only some limited degree of cross community features.

Similar that family group you might have on WhatsApp, Telegram, Threema or similar _is still social media_. Sure it might be a bit more private but that doesn't make it not social media. And it can be semi public, too. And people post there "social media content" all the time.

Facebook is also still in use a lot, even through more in the background by older people.

In the end platforms like TickTock and Instagram focused on making people consume media, instead of creation of more natural feeling social cycles, but jumping from there to "no one is posting on social media anymore" just misses the core of the issue: There are many different kinds of social media with different dynamic.
A mobile app for business seems weird to me. Why use a tiny phone when you have a laptop or desktop PC with a large screen and a proper keyboard? And the accounting software is usually installed on a desktop.

There are lot of people who don't have a laptop, but they probably are not the ones who is going to transfer "up to $1M" internationally.

Also, using a smartphone is not secure (no 2FA).

This is really cool, but why?
I'd say in one case it's a strategic corporate tactic: you intentionally build something to attract people with the understanding that you'll slowly boil and eventually gouge them if you're successful, peeling away freedoms and adding fees in some form.

In the other case, it seems like something is a victim of its own success. A product or service becomes so successful it draws attention of the lifeless leeches of society who swoop in to try and acquire and/or exploit it knowing there's opportunity there. There was no strategic plan to do this (other than the fact all leeches are drawn to blood as an inevitability). Also, in many cases, exploitation occurs from user space: we don't own this thing, only have the abilities of everyone else using this thing, but there's a lot of potential money there so how do we grab some?
Will social media use AI to post content in order to keep attracting advertisers, showing that "stuff" is happening on their platform? Advertisers who should only trust One Metric: the correlation of the actual sales with an online advertisement campaign.

I never figured out how to find something interesting on Twitter. The algo feed doesn't surface anything interesting anyway. On Mastodon, since I picked an instance that fits my interests I can actually browse the local instance feed/trending and see things that do interest me.
Agreed. Currently consulting for an org which is having this very debate; the consensus is leaning towards replacing FirstName/LastName with FullName (i.e how are you generally identified) and PreferredName (how do you like to be addressed).

Some additional observations from the German-speaking world (both Vienna and rural Austria):

- yes, we also often refer to people, even in everyday speech, as LastName FirstName

- often when referring to someone by name they are also given a definite article (equivalent of English "the"), e.g. "die Maria" or "der Gruber Hansi"

- some people I've encountered with a background in the German aristocracy (not Austrian, where such titles are technically abolished) have extremely long legal names with multiple prince/duke/von X und Y etc clauses. This will be their full legal name that appears in the passport and must be used when booking flights etc, but is not what they would use as "full name" in an everyday business context. So "Full Name" might not always be "Legal Name".

Also in a South Asian/Indian diaspora context, it is very common for people to be addressed by a semi-formal nickname that does not appear anywhere in their legal name. Come to think of it, I know one or two Austrian aristos* who use the same approach.

* yes, technically the aristocracy is abolished but they still live in their castles and know each other's pedigrees...

> A lot of the ChatGPT induced hype hypotheticals were already done

I really disagree with this.

The more broadly useful and available this technology becomes, the more interesting and unexpected uses will be discovered for it. The people I'm working with now are not remotely software people but they are generating real value from GPT in ways I would never have imagined. I look at what they're doing and I think to myself - a seasoned software engineer - OMG that's incredible, I would never have thought to use it that way.

That's why I say that GPT4 is the 56K modem of AI. Until now it's just been largely software geeks. But now that it's getting out into the broader world, people are coming up with novel ways to use it that are unexpected and occasionally ingenious. Ways to help people that most software engineers wouldn't have the domain experience to think of.

And they're just getting started.
