Huh?

You're saying that we didn't go to the moon (we did) and your proof is that the computers weren't as powerful as you would have expected them to be?

We managed to build nuclear weapons before digital computers were even invented. Getting to the moon is harder than getting to the other side of the ocean but both still rely on (effectively) simple math - which could be done on paper or by a calculator albeit painstakingly.

Lack of computer power for the AGC is among the weakest arguments that I've heard for why we (supposedly) couldn't have gone to the moon (which we did)
I mean I'd bet 90% of goodreads users are just googling quotes but yeah this girl got her timing right, Amazon bought goodreads and then just sat on it for like a decade... Storygraph would never ever be able to compete with goodreads on search, so they sorta had to pivot to winning on social and stickiness.

Your understanding is not correct. Chevron deference never meant agencies can just make up and pass law; it was a legal doctrine which merely stated that in places where the law is ambiguous (say a law declares water must be clean of pollutants, or bans pistol braces) that courts should look at any guidance from relevant agencies for guidance, since supposedly they should know more about the subject than the courts. It never allowed agencies to circumvent congress or prevented congress from further clarifying law. For example, the DEA doesn’t have the power to schedule drugs due to chevron, Congress includes provisions for the AG to reschedule drugs, which the AG historically has delegated to the DEA, the point being this was a power explicitly granted by congress.
While it may sound nice to you right now that the Supreme Court did away with chevron due to your gripes with the ATF, now the definitions of machine guns or pistols or anything else are up to the whims of any judge in any jurisdiction, which could be better or, given that judges likely have even less knowledge of the subject than the ATF, probably worse and more inconsistent.
I was a massive doubter (like a few of the folks here) when I met co-founder Gavin 8ish years ago.

Unlike many of the other founders in our little startup ecosystem, he and Will have stuck with it long term, and I’ve watched from afar as this project has grown, technically and commercially to what it is today.

From the outset, this project appeared to be doomed. The earliest iterations of their product seemed far too limited to be of any use (The view area was hardly bigger than a large grapefruit, the enclosure was massive, and the resolution/clarity was … not great), and speaking of use, who would need such a thing?

Against all odds, they’ve prevailed. The hardware is way better, the integrations have improved significantly, and while I’m still not sure what their customer are using this for, clearly there’s enough revenue coming in that they can retain a team of software engineers (they were hiring recently too).

This is speculation but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was mainly or even entirely bootstrapped with the exception of one or two government/university grants.

They’re not even based out of a “good” city for entrepreneurship, Adelaide (as much as I love it) is not exactly known as a hotbed of innovation.

This product shouldn’t exist, and yet it does. It’s almost like they’ve willed it into existence. I’m not sure if it’s passion or persistence, but I have to admire how they’ve stuck with it, defied the odds, built a business and turned sci-fi into reality.

I’d bet good money that they’ll still be here, growing in 10 years time.

P.s. I don’t know if he’s still there but Ken Silverman was/is on the team (He's the creator of Duke Nukem 3D's Build Engine and is highly regarded by John Carmack)

Hah fair enough, point taken!
But when you can use them, cookies are demonstrably better. XSS is the main argument against localstorage. Even this article[0], which pillories cookies, starts off with:

...if your website is vulnerable to XSS attacks, where a third party can run arbitrary scripts, your users’ tokens can be easily stolen [when stored in localstorage].

The reasons to avoid cookies:

* APIs might require an authorization header in the browser fetch call.

* APIs might live on a different domain, rendering cookies useless.

CSRF is a danger, that's true. can be worked around. My understanding is that XSS has a wider scope and that many modern frameworks come with CSRF protection built in[1]. Whereas XSS is a risk any time you (or anyone in the future) includes any JS code on your website.

But what's a mandatory fee?

Free airfare to Hawaii!

Fee for paying by cash: $1000
Fee for paying by check: $1100
Fee for paying by credit card: $1050
Fee for middle seat: $200
Fee for window seat: $300
Fee for aisle seat: $250

Note that no fee on this list is mandatory because you always have other options.

Yeah it seems pretty harmless. I like the comparison to the Santa Fe precursors, and I definitely agree that a certain degree of more or less sanctioned weirdness is good for the environment. I think what I was trying to convey (a bit harshly) was just a sense of like “what is this??” that I got from looking through their sites.
It isn't just React / Non-SPA, even by SSR / HTML standard there are no needless moving graphics, page / section transition. It is simple, accurate and to the point. I like the word people in this thread here to describe it as "artisan".

Back when I ran a small hosting provider, I'd monitor outbound SSH connections and page someone if there were too many from any individual host. On a couple occasions we had to increase the threshold for certain users, but most of the time it was an immediate indication that a host had gotten compromised. Super effective.
Dan, thank you for the comment.

Allow me a remark: there's a difference between knowledge GRAPHS that are used internally at Google and knowledge PANELS that are displayed publicly in search results.

→ Knowledge graphs: sophisticated, internal data structures.

→ Knowledge panels: visual representations of SOME of the data from knowledge graphs.

You were thinking of knowledge PANELS: curated and user-friendly subsets of the internal data! :)

In many Islamic justice systems, there is an option for the offender to pay money to the victim to reduce penalty. I think there are many cases where this could work in a non-Islamic culture, but many people are afraid that "rich people can buy their way out of trouble". There is some truth to it, but the victim may feel the outcome is better after payment.
Mostly it comes down to the fees being presented at the end rather than at the beginning. You have to follow the process through to the end to figure out what it would cost which makes price comparisons much harder.

Occasionally this is unavoidable--shipping charges. If they simply pass through what UPS charges, fine. Otherwise, they should be listed up front.

Viewing exercise as interesting time spent is probably where the outliers of "people whose instincts defy millennia of evolution" come from. My wife and I truly love trail running and usually running more than 99% of users in Garmin (according to the charts). During race training season we're frequently in the 50 miles per week or more range which, as older and slower runners, means we might be running 10 to 15 hours per week. But, we love it, so no more interesting things for us to do than that.

They’d be forced to divest from some of their US subsidiaries, so one of the brands would become an independent car company with brand and technology licensing agreements but independent management and shareholders.

For example when InBev merged with Anheuser-Busch they had to sell Labbat’s USA operations to FIFCO USA with geographic exclusive rights to their brands to get the deal through the US DoJ. EU regulators forced Dow and DuPont to divest of much of their crop protection stuff in Europe to complete the US merger.
Thanks for the feedback!

Maybe I should write on Brave Search. They use their own web index. Fully independent!
> a lot of sites don't allow.

About the only site I've come across that still only limits a single authenticator is the only one you've already mentioned. If I pointed out a site that only allowed five character upper case passwords with no lockout policy and really fast responses is that also proof passwords are completely untenable? Or just one actor with poor policy decisions
And in the end one can just choose to not use passkeys with sites like PayPal. But the extreme majority I've used allowed multiple, as that's what the specifications recommended.

In the end you can use passkeys without involving Google or Microsoft or Apple at all. Any argument that passkeys lock you into their platforms isn't based in reality and are repeating untruths. You don't need to use them to use passkeys.

Bullshit. First, you absolutely CAN JUST PUT TWO PRICES on a price tag. Moreover, business customers (in a grocery shop, yeah right) can just get a discount at a point of sale.
I don't. So your point isn't based in truth. I just used another device which also had passkeys, and then provisioned new ones on the new device.

Ah, the magic of having two of them! Truly a revolutionary experience.

I just used my physical tokens or my laptop or desktop to authenticate my new phone.

They do not require instances of exact words in the training set, either. They can cope with e.g. typos or novel portmanteaus of your own making.

Can you think of an example of the limitations you are thinking of?
To me that is totally fine. If there are electives, then elective them. Fix the mandatory ones first. Like the “resort fee” hotels charge. Or “cleaning fees”.

It becomes trickier when the fee is elective, but a significant part of the advertisement. Southwest Airlines complaining about having to advertise their fares, which come with two bags included, alongside other airlines who don’t include any bags comes to mind. I think there is probably some world where elective fees are included as well though this seems more nebulous.

However, let’s not let the perfect be the enemy of the good: Even just including everything that is compulsory in the base price itself, including taxes, would be a massive improvement to the status quo. Fixing this elective fee ambiguity would be a next step
I believe we could already have replaced many doctors with automated systems,or at least systems operated by considerably lower-paid and lower-skilled people. The issue isn’t that we couldn’t before; it’s that having a human as our go-to for healthcare needs is a heavily embedded part of our society and culture. It’s going to be incredibly hard to change people’s expectations as to what healthcare provides, who provides it, and who or what to put our trust in. If I find a lump on my neck, even I, with all my faith in modern technology and scientifically proven superior automated systems, still want to see a human doctor. I still somehow believe the doctor and distrust the machine, no matter how many times they study it and find the machine to be superior over man.
> - Messages (especially opaque ones) are not supposed to be copied.

So?

The opaque API is stupid to begin with. Now the objects are no longer threadsafe. You can't just read a message in one thread and process it in two different threads.

> Users expect

Then don't expect this. If you're breaking the API, then at least break it in a way that makes it better afterwards.

Hiya, thanks for the response.

Our pricing is kinda complicated as discussed before[0]. We're working on simplifying things.

Here's a list of features[1] which hopefully are clearer about what you get on what plans.

Where things get complex is that we sell both features/support and hosting, and you can buy both, either or neither from us. Our hosting isn't multi-tenant SaaS, but rather dedicated infrastructure providing network and database level isolation. That means what we offer is different than say a Stytch that offers a multi-tenant logical isolation.

Most folks that are price conscious run it themselves on EC2 or Render or elsewhere[2].

General aviation stats might not be entirely applicable to commercial aviation, of course. The planes are less redundant, less well maintained, and flown by less experienced crew - it's hard to tell which of those factors will tend to dominate, or whether they cancel out.
Thanks for the warm feedback!

Maybe another interesting case would be secretaries. It used to be very common that even middle management positions at small to medium companies would have personal human secretaries and assistants, but now they're very rare. Maybe some senior executives at large corporations and government agencies still have them, but I have never met one in North America who does.

Below that level it's become the standard that people do their own typing, manage their own appointments and answer their own emails. I think that's mainly because computers made it easy and automated enough that it doesn't take a full time staffer, and computer literacy got widespread enough that anyone could do it themselves without specialized skills.

So if programming got easy enough that you don't need programmers to do the work, then perhaps we could see the profession hollow out. Alternatively we could run out of demand for software but that seems less likely!

> centralized system [... for errors]

dont think this will scale. errors are part of API. (especially Go mantra errors are values https://go.dev/blog/errors-are-values it is ever more prominent). and each API is responsibility of a service

so unless you deal with infrastructure or standards/protocols layer (say you define what HTTP 500 means or common pattern for URL paths in your API), then better not couple all services. those standards are very minimal and primitive that works for everything, which is opposite what you doing here aggregating all the specifics into single place
Elon is a con man who has somehow fallen upwards through luck of birth and government subsidies.

He didn't start any of "his" companies, I'm convinced has little to no real engineering input into them, and only remains relevant through going viral for his brain dead takes on social media, which is incidentally one of the ridiculous "investments" that he is now running into the ground.

Have you seen his vacuum train idea? I think that says it all about his engineering expertise. Full self driving using only cameras is another one. Colonizing Mars? The surface temperature of Mars is from −110°C to 35°C, with a mean of -60°C. A rocket would take 9 months to get there.

Show HN: Mapdown creates a sitemap for your Markdown files
I have a handful of websites built, automatically, from Markdown files. I don't always link to those on the site but I do want them to show up in search engines. So, I built Mapdown to generate the sitemap.xml file for me.

I built this and wrote the documentation in a few hours but I think it's fairly complete. Still, I haven't spent a lot of time tuning it. I've already started to use it on my own sites.

> Maybe you're just less intelligent than the average consumer

I'm not one to police tone, but really? Did it make you feel better to say that?

> is it something else?

Yes, the something else is that you're missing the point that my comment was specifically about the disparity in the prices large online retailers would be able to display (e.g. without sales tax) versus what offline retailers would display (with sales tax).

If Amazon and a local retailer are both aiming for the same $1,000 for an item net of tax, this would mean that Amazon could display $1,000 as the price while my local retailer would have to list it for (say) $1,100. I don't think local retailers would like that very much, even though the consumer would end up paying $1,100 either way. You may disagree.
Yeah I have been wondering this myself as well. I'm one of 3 co-founders in a bootstrapped company doing consultancy for a few years in a LCOL area. We have been paying founders 50k/year salaries for the life of the company. We haven't been especially lucky and we haven't been super brilliant in our business decisions. Yet we are doing fairly well.

This year we made 400k revenue, 150k profit and 40% growth. Our sales prospect are a lot better than at the start of the year. So I'm expecting to have another strong year of growth next year. Also we are nowhere near saturating the market and can have strong growth for many years to come.

Salary + 1/3 of profits is equal to 100k for this year. 40% growth doubles the company every 2 years, If everything goes well just salary + profits will grow very nicely. Then on top of this come the exit opportunities where founders will make millions.
There is a reason why interactive command shells such as bash, korn, and zsh only support two editing modes; emacs and vi.

Emacs reifies its LISP underpinnings by modelling edit commands as an AST[0]. "Top down" as it were. This optimizes for command categorization.

Vi/vim/derivatives model editing by "flattening" the editing command tree such that the vast majority are no more than two or three keystrokes (excluding repeat count prefixes). This optimizes for uniform command distribution.

Both eschew requiring a mouse and/or a GUI, which vastly increase their applicability.

As to which is superior, that is the subject of thousands of "editor wars" threads in one form or another.

My stance is to pick whichever best suits how you like to think when solving problems.
