Show HN: I Added a Feature to WhatsApp-Web, Animated GIFs Uploads (Chrome Ext.)
Take the aircraft carriers for example, we’ve currently got 2 but only purchased enough aircraft for half of one.

Whether you view this as a mistake of over investment or under investment, it’s clearly a mistake of some sort.

Giving people the ability to use caps as an optional feature doesn’t force anyone to use it.

Also, you could turn things off in the inverse order they were turned on until the cap is satisfied. So all the crypto miner instances would be turned off before database backups being deleted.

Hi HN! I'm Ivan, the creator of this extension and with it you can now right-click any gif on Google Chrome (desktop) to share it with any of your contacts on WhatsApp Web, you can also use it to upload animated GIFs from your computer, you can even drag-and-drop MP4 files to it and they will be treated as gifs (e.g. they will loop, muted of course). A nice feature coming soon its that it will let you share non-gif images using same context menu option.

To create it I had to do a bit of reverse-engineering of the existing JavaScript found at https://web.whatsapp.com/, which is actually a minified React app, I found out that it uses WebSockets to communicate with the backend but thankfully to create this extension I was able to avoid fiddling with those messages. Under the hood it uses the amazing library ffmpeg.wasm (the JS port of ffmpeg): https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm I also made use of TypeScript, React and Vite to create this extension, using this boilerplate as starting point: https://github.com/Jonghakseo/chrome-extension-boilerplate-r...

Feel free to ask any questions or any feedback you may have about it.

I've never owned one but the folk wisdom I've always heard is to have a good foreign car indie mechanic (or do a lot of your your own work I guess) or just plan on keeping a BMW/Audi/etc. to the end of the warranty period because dealer bills add up fast afterwards.

> How hard is it to swap our firebase for instant? I've had an amazing time with firebase, but I sorta want to switch to using a completely local solution.

It should be relatively straightforward to switch. If you have any questions, you could always reach to us on Discord [1]

The only caveat though: Instant is like Firebase; it is not a completely local solution. If you are worried about exposing some data over the internet, I would store the same kind of stuff you were thinking about with Firebase.

We offer our own auth. You have magic code emails and Google Sign in out of the box. We also expose auth functions in admin SDK, in case you want to create a custom solution. [2]

Well, if you want to run headfirst into the magical land of hardware errata, I guess you could go around creating heterogeneous, switched mappings.

$1000/mo in S3 deep glacier storage buys you a petabyte (a million gigabytes) of storage. It’s hard to imagine such a small customer uploading a petabyte without noticing, and part of what happens when you hit the cap could be moving things from normal object storage to glacier.

Sure you can deliberately invest in a way that doesn't generate the best returns. You can be a philanthropist and build housing for free! But the vast majority of people are indeed looking to maximize returns.
That's a great point Kiro. Down the road, we could look into introducing a more turing complete language, which you could use before a transaction runs. We decided to go with CEL for the sandboxing benefits.
Hello, this is Akira. Thank you for your comment.

The idea of using VirtualStorage<T, U> is very interesting. Currently, the class representing a directory is of the VirtualDirectory type, which is not a generic type. I think the idea of making directories a generic type, VirtualDirectory<U>, to encapsulate a user-defined type U, similar to how VirtualItem<T> represents items, is very useful. Consequently, it would allow us to comprehensively manage everything as VirtualStorage<T, U>.

With your proposed approach, when using VirtualStorageLibrary to represent a file system in memory, it would be possible to create an instance of VirtualStorage<T, U>. This would intuitively allow for the retention of information about physical files and directories.

The key feature of this use case is that it allows for efficient reference and traversal of nodes in a file system maintained with VirtualStorage<T, U> through the VirtualStorageLibrary API. However, implementing node operations (deletion, moving, copying) presents some challenges. This is because, when performing node operations, it is necessary to update the System.IO.DirectoryInfo held within VirtualDirectory<U>. This implies that there would be overlapping node operations between the node manipulations in VirtualStorageLibrary and those in System.IO. Given this, it seems more practical to focus solely on efficient node referencing and traversal in this use case.

The idea of associating a third type with VirtualSymbolicLink in VirtualStorageLibrary might require further consideration, but it certainly seems worth exploring.

Thank you for sharing such meaningful and interesting ideas. If you would like, please consider posting your ideas in the issues or discussions on the VirtualStorageLibrary repository.

It only takes one. Also, who says they're doing it at home? One hypochondriac willing to stay after work to use the equipment to quell their fears (or substantiate them) is all it takes.
So it's exactly the same thing as SF rent control, albeit with a higher allowable year-over-year increase. There's nothing "dynamic" about it, it's just textbook rent control.
This is awesome, and this type of accessibility (noting that it can be temporary, permanent or situational) and consideration is known as inclusive design in modern parlance.

Perhaps I’m the odd one out but I haven’t had any issues in 20 years of BMW ownership across two continents. Never had to do anything except routine service and consumables. One 3-series diesel in Europe made it to 220k miles before I sold it, and it’s likely got another 10 years of daily driving in it.

Do the manufactures consider sales to dealers in their sales numbers or are they actual sales to people that then registers the car as in use?
I see i see good to know, thanks!
Terminating service is a big deal for commercial customers' production environments.

Reversibly (i.e. shut down compute, don't delete anything, allow the customer to review, fix and reinstate quickly) terminating service is a minor annoyance for hobby/experimental setups, and in those, it's much more preferable than having to open a support ticket to deal with a massive bill.

Having quotas that the customer can increase themselves (but has to manually choose to increase) on storage prevents storage related surprise bills, and the rest you can shut down (optionally, make the user choose up front what they would prefer).

What am I missing? Too many commercial customers picking "experimental" initially and forgetting to change it?

"Greystar was the largest apartment manager in the United States, with over 726,826 units/beds..." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greystar

That's one client. (And yes, they are a client. https://www.realpage.com/case-studies/greystar-optimizes-sub...)
You are correct.

Years ago I did exactly this by modifying my client to never seed/share, and also to fake my reported sharing stats so the private trackers wouldn’t boot me for failing to share.

Those were the days.

Now, I no longer fear the ISP or copyright holder chasing me (seems ISPS and laws moved on where I am) and don’t bother with modifications any more.

I used to be that old, I was already a professional when I programmed my "Pocket" Computers, to use in place of hand calculators and on-board mechanical adders, as a portable device to handle cargo ships.

IBM hadn't released PC's anyway, and laptops were a long way off. It was over a dozen years before laptops started being used a bit, but there I was, the only one to be seen carrying a portable computer up the gangway with all the options including the 4-color mini printer-plotter and RS-232 interface before they started calling them COM ports. In the full TRS-80 carrying case I guess it gave the first image of what was to come with laptops eventually.

It would be cool if they still had portable plotters now, since we expected all kinds of technology to become more common once the 21st century got here. I'm probably just not up to date, they're probably everywhere and I just don't know about it.

Anyway, I update my main Linux systems manually every month, so it doesn't bug me but I have to keep up with it.

The occasional Windows Pro PCs are not allowed on the web every day but they autoupdate as a mainstream user. Maybe you would like the "elusive" LTSC versions if you stick with Windows so you can choose to avoid updates entirely, but this soon leaves you insecure if you don't at least enable security updates, you need that much auto or manually when you do go on the web.

For scientific instruments that only support Windows Pro, I highly tweak it so that nothing ever interrupts that primary purpose, and simply stay off the web forever. On one instrument the 2016 version of Windows 10 32-bit will be going strong until there is no functional hardware any more within reason. Spectrometer readings work the same year after year with no upsets or surprises.

Unlike one of the units at the time where IT was still responsible, it eventually auto updated from W7 to W10 when it really got ridiculously forceful. I told them they might not want to let that happen :(

Well that locked up one of the robotic titrators due to completely misguided permissions and there was no way to recover without physically dismantling the unit while full of chemicals, before the internal memory chip could be removed and returned to previous backward-compatible functionality.

So after all these years I do think "upgrades" definitely have their upsides and downsides, and people should still be able to choose as well as they could during higher-quality times.

I’d be interested to hear if there are any HN users that work at Twitter, who could comment on this. I don’t understand why you’d put up with this sort of behavior from the CEO of a tanking company, when RSUs/options for companies with much better prospects are out there for the taking. But I don’t work there, so maybe there’s something I’m missing.

We cancelled ours when he tweeted and insinuated there were valid reasons for someone sneaking into the Pelosi house and hitting her husband in the head with a hammer.

It would have been our second Tesla purchase and now we have none. Could not imagine being associated with Elon in any way and certainly not in the car I drive around.
You are comfortable scaling a service down to zero when configured to do so though.

Of course that comes up again when anyone sends a request, but that feels sort of in the same category.

That said, I do understand that building your service for people like me that’d rather be restricted to just $50/month doesn’t really make sense.
Not necessarily this specific manifestation... but something still worth considering.

Large enough businesses tend to clam up for changes in certain quarters. This makes hot spots for renewals/expiration or really anything potentially risky.

Nobody wants to do twice the paperwork for maintenance when it lands in sales-season 'change freezes'. I actually burned half a year of lifetime once just to get a more favorable schedule

I’ve had business accounts with almost every large US bank. I’ve founded quite a few businesses - venture-backed and bootstrapped product and consulting companies, going back to the 90s. I’ll repeat: I’ve never had an experience as bad as the one I had with Chase. Not sure what would possess you to

I'm still a bit meh on the Apple Watch in spite of buying an early one and then an Ultra that I got a good deal on. I don't care much about the quantified health thing and the battery life is still an issue even with the Ultra. Like for hiking though.

This is going to happen eventually. There are many reasons why Tesla is going to hit a ceiling.

Tesla build quality is terrible. Their service department is overbooked, under staffed, expensive, and not set up for success. Environmental people won't want to support Elon, and right wing people who like him won't want to buy an electric car.

It's only a matter of time before established players eat Tesla's lunch.

The problem is less that they don’t serve games natively and more that it just sucks for the intended usecase. $3,500 VR headset, $3,000 more than the aforementioned Quest 3, and while some of that is due to the differing specs you have to wonder how much is due to an Apple charge. As for weight, compared to the Quest 3 it’s around 6oz heavier, which isn’t great, and from reviews I’ve read that 6oz and the general design makes a large difference. It should be noted though, AVP is 2oz less than the Quest Pro and may be more comfortable than that, but considering Apple has always been on the forefront of miniaturizing tech (for good and bad) I’m surprised they went for a premium weight in this instance. And finally, app support is minimal and they didn’t allow for enough direct access to ease development, leading to an expensive device that can’t even attempt to find a solution for the problem it’s trying to find.

AI generated TL;DR

Ed, the developer of IdleTale, shares his journey of creating an idle RPG game out of passion for the genre. Initially launched on Google Play, the game gained support but was removed due to "Malware or Deceptive Behavior." The issue stemmed from a code function keeping the phone screen on without user consent, violating Google Play's policies. Despite appealing and offering to fix the problem, Ed’s developer account was permanently closed, preventing future app submissions. He reflects on the unfortunate situation and the significant impact of a small mistake, expressing frustration and disappointment over losing his project and the opportunity to share his game with others.
That is not unique to the mixed reality though. Which is what this is about.
