Thank you for the kind words and support! You're absolutely right. Launching successfully anywhere requires a mix of everything. My goal with this platform is to level the playing field a bit more for indie makers and small teams who might not have the resources for a big marketing push.

Also excited to have you on board, and I hope the features make your experience worthwhile. Would love to hear your thoughts once you’ve explored the platform.
Do you have an actual counter-argument to this or do you just like pointing out that you don't think Palestinians have a right to live? Just because we disagree doesn't mean that I'm only against human rights violations and war crimes because China said they were bad. Is that how you live your life? Being a good little boy or girl and doing what uncle sam tells you to? If no, why do you assume other people aren't capable of thinking for themselves?
Vote for that
I would add video chats into this waste of time.

I can confirm as a (largeish) buyer, i despise useless calls and video conferences.

I do not have time, and it costs me money to hop on a 20 minute call just to find out it was a presentation of their slicks that were in PDF, or go through 30 slides that they could have emailed me.

It costs me money for a vendor and internal teams to eat time, and my cost change depending on the time of the day. My rate is highest during mid to late day. If you send me an email with the info and I can read it in my morning quiet time, it (mentally & $$) cost less, and I will be less grouchy.

there are some times when a call works. If the emails are fruitless because the writers lack the ability to be succinct, or cannot articulate what they need.

edit: @spiderfarmer wrote it much better.
I don't know. 17 years on and my fingers still miss hardware keyboards a little bit.

My dream smartphone would be a black rectangle, but with a landscape hardware keyboard to slide out from underneath. And in an ideal world OLED keys for changing the layout and a touch sensitivity for moving a text cursor.

What I miss from the 2000s is the big differentiation in phone form factors. Granted, a lot of them were weird, but there was at least experimentation and optimising for different use cases. What if the current standard of a black rectangle is just a local maximum and there is something better ahead?
I feel like this comment is misleading because it gives the impression that the code in the article is wrong or unsafe, whereas I think it's actually fine? In the article, in the case when `tmp == NULL` (in your notation) the author aborts the program. This means there's no memory leak or unsafety. I agree that one can do better of course.
My wife works in sales. She always pushes people to her email via her voicemail or email signature. When people need really technical support, there is a group of dedicated people to help with that aspect. Technical support really isn’t her job but in her mind it kind of is as being an important point of first contact to keep the relationship strong.

Granted, you need to be very responsive to your email, including monitoring it a little on the off hours.

She continues to grow her business territory each year for almost 2 decades and almost never makes sales phone calls. She does do scripted presentations for big deals from time to time but gets some support for those.
Shame the link isn't to https://www.nintendo.com/successor/ so it would attempt to pick a video with the most appropriate date format.
Which now complicates title transfer and potentially creates a buyer-beware situation. Road construction and maintenance can be paid for out of the state budget, a major point the adoption of the gas tax was to capture money from the out-of-jurisdiction drivers who were using your roadways: particularly shipping and freight companies. These proposed solutions aren't addressing that problem.
Ah ha! Makes sense. Thank you.
I’ve been meaning to give this a shot. I wonder if anyone has figured out how to fit Twitter into RSS? It’s obviously not a natural fit since there are many more posts but the average quality and length is lower. But if I could figure it out, then similar to what this article says, it would help permanently break the habit of endlessly scrolling a feed.
It’s a statement of privilege to believe (and say) that there are hundreds of good doctors per handful of bad ones? It sounds to me like a statement of fact. And that you dispute the fact. What does privilege have to do with it?
The problem is that others are building 2025 web pages.

I recently had to pay for parking online (already an annoyance) because the kiosk was broken. That one transaction used like 3% of my data for the month. Why does it take dozens of megabytes to ask for a credit card number, license plate number, and lot id? Please just send me a single 500 byte form with some inputs. I'm not on your site to be entertained. It doesn't need to be a SPA. It needs an "enter your info" page and a "thank you" page.
Thanks for the clarification about founding. But he joined as chair of the board when the company was less than 1 year old, and helped develop their first car.

>and most definitely did not did it for environmental reasons.

From that same link, he says one of the goals of Tesla is to make environmentalism cool:

> And so you get the solar power, mind that with batteries. So because obviously the sun doesn't shine at night and then you use that to charge the electric cars and you have a long-term sustainable solution.

> And, you know, that's what Tesla is trying to move things towards. And I think we've made a lot of progress in that regard. But when you look at our cars, like we don't believe that environmentalism, that caring about the environment should mean that you have to suffer.

> So we make sure that our cars are beautiful, that they drive well, that they're fast, they're, you know, sexy. I mean, they're cool.

Here he says the purpose for him working on electric cars is to transition people to sustainable transport: https://youtu.be/SNIaHc0Uggs?si=ELivf9xj2J3PS8Wi&t=304
> The standard library is full of unsafe code.

Yes, and this means that for me to trust that the code is memory safe I need to trust the people who develop the standard library (or validate the unsafe usage myself). Rust has a good track record and a very good review process to ensure correctness of their "unsafe" block.

This library however? Do they know how to write "unsafe" blocks? I don't know! Maybe? If there were zero uses of "unsafe" in this library I would be able to adopt it without worrying about memory safety at all. In addition, I'm not that good at knowing whether an "unsafe" block is safe myself. It's not like I can review this cases myself and be confident.

(Memory safety is of course not everything, but bugs related to memory safety are much more annoying than other types of bugs.)
Nice, was looking for something similar.
Modern javascript engines (namely V8) avoid RWX, although last time I checked there's been a backslide as part of WASM implementation.

CPython also no longer appears to create RWX mappings even for ctypes, although you can of course still mmap them manually.

Cool. I actually posted my project to a few open-source directory sites yesterday. I got an email today that it will go live on the 4th of July unless I pay for a quicker submission... I emailed them and pointed out it was just hurting themselves and they said they have a queue and they only do 3 a day so every launch gets its own time sort of thing. The value proposition is that you can find alternatives not that you can launch your project there, it makes no sense to me other than they've seen launch platforms do it so...

I think there needs to be a good open-source alternatives directory that isn't run by someone who doesn't treat it as a launch platform.
Did the author forget to take "Schedule a Call" button from their pricing page if you drag the slider all the way to the right ? :) Kinda contradicts the entire post.
So they invented a (chemical) bean plant/rhizobium? Or Nitrobacter. AKA atmospheric nitrogen fixer
Not the parent, but I love communication. I love being able to send a chat message to a teammember and get a response in an hour, or an email at 8pm and read the response next morning. What I hate is having to schedule calls for next Friday just to get a response to a basic question, or being dragged into pointless half an hour meeting just to say two sentences about what I'm doing today.

But you're right that non-technical managers seem to love that stuff

Actual sales: 2007: 1.4M, 2008: 12M. Pretty spot on.
Show HN: Nail Designer AI – AI-Powered Nail Art Creation
Hi HN!

I’m excited to share Nail Designer AI, a project I’ve been working on to bring creativity and AI together in an unexpected way—personalized nail art!

The idea is simple: users describe their desired nail art design, and our AI generates unique designs based on their input. For an extra layer of personalization, they can upload a photo of their hand to see how the design would look on them before committing to it.

Why Nail Designer AI?
Choosing or designing nail art can be a time-consuming and overwhelming process, especially with so many options and trends to consider. Nail Designer AI aims to make this process simple, fun, and accessible. It combines creativity with technology to provide users with designs that feel unique and tailored to their preferences.

How it works:

Describe your idea for nail art (e.g., "minimalist black and gold design with geometric patterns").
(Optional) Upload a photo of your hand to preview the design directly on your nails.
Explore and iterate—generate new ideas or refine your designs.

You can check it out at naildesignerai.com. Thanks for taking the time to explore, and I’m happy to answer any questions or dig into the tech stack if anyone’s curious!
There are a million ways to turn large amounts of energy into smaller amounts of energy.
I find it quite funny that if you go to the pricing page, they'll funnel you into a call if you get to the enterprise part.
One of the problems for Kodak was that selling people digital cameras was always going to be just a fraction of the profit of selling them film.

Today, in 2025, Fujifilm makes more money from selling film (Instax instant photo film) than they do from digital, even though they "won" in digital over Kodak to some extent.
>Microsoft of course couldn't compete with an "Xbox 2" vs a "PS3", and they couldn't skip right to "Xbox 3"

Nope, it all goes back to Microsoft not naming the 360 "Xbox 3" with some lame excuse for why it did so. Yes, everyone would have laughed, but no one would remember or care today that the "Xbox 5" isn't actually the fifth Xbox.

An alternative that Microsoft missed, from Reddit:

>They could have named the Xbox Series X the Xbox 5 and said it was because they counted the One X as the 4th gen Xbox.
No, not really true. Your phony descriptions do not apply to me, and need not apply to anyone or anything, dear misrepresenter! It’s okay, you just don’t know about it. You should get some experience tho,?#! ODU/?VA?!!. Vector in! :)
> If they are, they likely aren't here reading this discussion.

Why not?
I'm not inclined to be sympathetic to cyclists, but the bike-murdering signpost right there is all the proof I need that there are people who hate them more than I do and that at least one of those people works in city government. I winced. It might actually be a felony, that act of transportation engineering. I'd at least listen to the prosecutor's theory of the crime.
Another way of phrasing the situation is that Quantas _very inconveniently_ chose to put their flight path straight through the projected trajectory of rocket debris.
Show HN: Screensnap Screenshot – A extension for making polished screenshots
Hey HN, I've been working on a small side project called Screensnap, a suite of browser extensions designed to elevate your screen capture game. The first extension, Screensnap Screenshot, is now available and lets you take beautiful and polished screenshots with features like:

- Custom backgrounds (gradients and images)
- Adjustable padding & rounded corners
- Shadow effect
- Multiple formats: PNG, WebP, AVIF, JPEG
- Save visible area, custom area or full page
- Limit exported file size
- YouTube video screenshot

*Transparency Note:* Screensnap Screenshot is a paid extension. I've poured a lot of effort into making it a valuable tool, and I believe the features justify the cost. However, I'm very interested in your feedback! Let me know what you think about the concept, the features of Screensnap Screenshot, and even the pricing model. Is this something you'd find useful? Would you consider paying for it?

*Here's what I'm especially interested in:*

- Feedback on Screensnap Screenshot's features and functionality.
- Thoughts on the pricing model for Screensnap Screenshot.

I appreciate any insights you can offer! Below is the link to the extension, which is now supported on Google Chrome:

Don't bother, it's your average redditor
tl;dr same reason other services go offline at night: concurrency is hard and many computations aren't thread safe, so need to run serially against stable snapshots of the data. If you don't have a database that can provide that efficiently you have no choice but to stop the flow of inbound transactions entirely.

Sounds like Dafydd did the right thing in pushing them to deliver some value now and not try to rebuild everything right away. A common mistake I've seen some people make is assuming that overnight batch jobs that have to shut down the service are some side effect of using mainframes, and any new system that uses newer tech won't have that problem.

In reality getting rid of those kinds of batch jobs is often a hard engineering project that requires a redesign of the algorithms or changes to business processes. A classic example is in banking where the ordering of these jobs can change real world outcomes (e.g. are interest payments made first and then cheques processed, or vice-versa?).

In other cases it's often easier for users to understand a system that shuts down overnight. If the rule is "things submitted by 9pm will be processed by the next day" then it's easy to explain. If the rule is "you can submit at any time and it might be processed by the next day", depending on whether or not it happens to intersect the snapshot taken at the start of that particular batch job, then that can be more frustrating than helpful.

Sometimes the jobs are batch just because of mainframe limitations and not for any other reason, those can be made incremental more easily if you can get off the mainframe platform to begin with. But that requires rewriting huge amounts of code, hence the popularity of emulators and code transpilers.
Maybe this goes without saying, but this requires really good self-serve for most customers. In general it seems like the trend is more fragmentation, rather than just "more email" but that does mean less call-driven -- https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/growth-marketing-and-s...
I do understand what you are writing.

For me, I can find out way more quantifiable information by just doing 15 minutes of OSINT, or even simpler pull up your D&B report.

I do not trust my emotions.
The NRC has no duty whatsoever to analyze accident conditions. The NRC requires the licensee to do the analysis; the NRC just has to evaluate whether they did it properly and sufficiently.

I do wonder how you think all possible accident conditions could be evaluated. All possible geometries of melted fuel? The possibilities are vast, indeed exponentially vast.

Edward Teller in his 1967 comment expressed skepticism that the consequences of a serious accident in a fast breeder could be evaluated (yes, I know Natrium is not quite this configuration, uranium having a considerably higher bare core critical mass, but it's similar):

"For the fast breeder to work in its steady-state breeding condition you probably need
something like half a ton of plutonium. In order that it should work economically in a
sufficiently big power-producing unit, it probably needs quite a bit more than one ton of
plutonium. I do not like the hazard involved. I suggested that nuclear reactors are a
blessing because they are clean. They are clean as long as they function as planned, but if
they malfunction in a massive manner, which can happen in principle, they can release
enough fission products to kill a tremendous number of people.

...But, if you put together two tons of plutonium in a breeder, one tenth of one percent
of this material could become critical.

I have listened to hundreds of analyses of what course a nuclear accident can take.
Although I believe it is possible to analyze the immediate consequences of an accident, I
do not believe it is possible to analyze and foresee the secondary consequences. In an
accident involving a plutonium reactor, a couple of tons of plutonium can melt. I don't
think anybody can foresee where one or two or five percent of this plutonium will find
itself and how it will get mixed with some other material. A small fraction of the original
charge can become a great hazard."
They've been building and tending the exact same pay-to-enter garden for 16 years, and even that garden initially — for a year — started with the equivalent of a padlock and "no-entry, no exceptions" sign on the gate itself because iOS was originally "just Apple's Apps, nobody else"*.

Took a long while before Apple was big enough that people cared about the walled gardens, before "smart phones" as a market opportunity were dominant enough that them having one was even capable of hurting anyone's economy.

* if you want to find exception, consider if the exception would also inherently reject the idea that what currently exists is a walled garden

I had a Nokia Symbian phone, the 7610. I loved how 'quirky' it was:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_7610#/media/File:Nokia76...

and I was able to download an NES emulator for it! I remember playing Mario 3 on my way to my first post-university job. I really felt like I was living in the future compared to the phones others had. And then Symbian just... never got better.

I was ambivalent about the MS purchase of Nokia but I was still optimistic about a lot of it. Nokia always made top-notch hardware but it was obvious from the outside that they just didn't have the software talent (the N900 was a wonderful device for the tech set but it had no mass market viability). I maintain that when it was released Windows Phone was the best mobile OS going. But Microsoft fumbled hard by reinventing the wheel with Windows Phone 8 and destroying an already emaciated App Store. Arguably they fumbled before they even released Windows Phone, spending $1bn on the Kin and then almost immediately nixing it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Kin

Looking back at it all today... iOS is fine. Android is fine. But man do I wish we still had a couple of other viable competitors in there.

> you seem to be communication-averse

Not OP, but I worked for years as a telemarketer as a teenager, so I'm not afraid of speaking on the telephone. However, as I've aged I've found that I'm extraordinarily bad at thinking on my feet and it is for this reason that I loathe telephone calls now.

I was raised to be a people-pleaser and no matter how many times I read "When I say no, I feel guilty" my gut instinct during conversations in which I have to think on my feet is to do whatever is necessary to avoid conflict with the person with whom I'm speaking. With e-mail and other asynchronous communication methods, this is not the case for me as I have the time to craft the gentle-no or the push-back or to properly word the uncomfortable question.
Some of us are time-wasting averse. I am never going to recommend a product without a lot of answers, and it is never going to get green-lighted without my boss feeling confident of the answers. The faster I get the answers, the more likely we are to follow-up. When getting answers is like pulling teeth, other solutions get considered, including "develop something in-house".
I absolutely love communication, meeting people, etc. as far as it makes sense! Typically is much better written. Everything can be forwarded, is documented, no misunderstandings…
Think of it like Oreos:

- Text-based blogging platforms: regular Oreos

- Image-based blogging platforms: Double Stuff Oreos

- Short-form video blogging platforms: Mega Stuff Oreos

There are still plenty of high-quality and addictive ways to share information without Tik-tok.

Everyone will be better off without Mega Stuff Oreos, they were an abomination to begin with
Even more extreme - keep in mind that everyone is a literal Ship of Theseus - we cycle all our atoms every 7-10 years.
That's part of the problem as well - it's not exactly clear what the Palestinian position is - partly because I think they see things like 'right of return' (which is completely unacceptable to Israel) as bargaining chips to trade for something during negotiations.
It's called making products worse, reducing security, and stripping the fruits of innovation from investors & creators.

It's deeply annoying.
Six day and IP address certificate options in 2025
People forget just how powerful RIM was in the business world, and the keyboard WAS a real stickler (even today, you can go to any large conference and ask "who here misses the blackberry keyboard" and you'll get a decent show of hands).

It was a real issue and a real opportunity - I remember for years after the iPhone came out the blackberry die-hards were insisting that they'd easily be able to make something that was "iPhone like with a blackberry keyboard" - but during those years more and more people started carrying two phones, an iPhone for home and a blackberry for work.

That was the beginning of the end.
Personal opinion, but I didn't really have that reaction. That screen is still significantly bigger than the Switch 1.

Honestly it looks like a great size and if the bezels were smaller, it might be a problem to grip the device (with joycons detached) without hitting the touch screen.
Yes, it is pretty silly to think American healthcare would no longer be a global laughingstock if surprise bills of $5000 were replaced with surprise bills of $4700.
Most countries wouldn't be in that position in the first place. Mexico attacking the US would be basically unprovoked; Hamas attacking Israel is… not.
