Show HN: MinialDoc – Lightweight Open Source API Documentation and Demo Tool
Hey HN,

I built MinialDoc because I found existing API documentation tools too complex and expensive for small projects. I just wanted a simple way to create, share, and demo APIs—so I built one.

With MinialDoc, you can:

- Create and update API documentation easily.

- Test endpoints online and share them with others.

- See auto-generated code snippets in Python and JavaScript.

- Upload API docs using OpenAPI.

MinialDoc makes it easier for developers to demo and test APIs without extra setup. I'm also working on adding Notion-style editing to make documentation even easier to write and organize.

It’s still in beta, and I’d love your feedback! If you're interested, check out this demo:

Re Rust, that’s simply not true. Rust relies on compile time validity checks that have nothing to do with virtual memory.
Isaiah Berlin wrote about the two concepts of liberty[0] in 1958 and the constitution of the US is based on negative liberty, so it goes back a bit further than the 90s.

I think it's a reductionist word game to reduce everything to a single dimension ("freedom") and then say "I think my policy is better, and since everything can reduce to a single variable it means there is more freedom".

If a right-wing voter thinks banning gay marriage is good for society, it is also positive freedom? If your counter-argument is "no, because while it would be positive freedom if it was good for society, it's not" then maybe I'm just disareeing on your terminology, but I suspect you would say "heck no, telling people what they can't do is not freedom, that's an abuse of the English language as well as being bad for society".

Governments exist to take away some freedoms, it's the whole point of them. People vote for governmets to take away freedoms (with laws and taxes) and get things like public services, justice systems and infrastructure in return. Ideally, they lean towards things that give you a lot of bang for your buck (like flourine), because taking away freedom is not good for creating a dynamic society, and they should be accountable to voters.

Just say that anyone who objects is an anarchist if you want to take the moral high ground from the right in terms they understand.

> I just pointed out the fact that it's not some sort of anti-capitalist activity that doesn't involve monetary transactions

Nobody wants or cares about it being anti-capitalistic. It's just free snacks or up-front pay for an all-you-can-eat buffet. Yes, somebody pays for this, but no, this is not in scope or relevant for people enjoying the meal.

> billionaires are actively getting richer out of this.

As they should. Yes, we know they are, and it's fine. That is just the fundamental of market economy: someone earns money by providing useful goods or services. It's not a problem in itself, and neither is the fact that there may be a billionaire involved.

Getting wound up about billionaires specifically is a shtick of people who want to sell your eyeballs to advertisers, and/or sell you their ideology. The former is a cancer on modern society. The latter is even worse.

(Yes, there is growing income inequality, unfair concentration of wealth and power, and such. But putting it all on "billionaires" - the modern witches and demons - is just a trick that conveniently redirects any blame from people, organizations and systems contributing most to the core problem.)
do you have any research that points to these things being useful for the industry?
In that particular instance, that pilot also mentioned there were issues with engine oil pressure, IIRC, and the fuel filter was scheduled to be replaced after the long haul flight over water. Those concerning data points were what led to him not “feeling it.” That type of casual language, IMO, makes it easier for people to empathize with the conclusion based on hard facts.
This is such a useful tool, I constantly pop it up to check contrast in my art.
74.6% of Americans get fluoridated tap water; https://jada.ada.org/article/S0002-8177(24)00204-6/fulltext shows that even with instructions to brush and floss and instructions to use it, water flouridation reduces cavities in a community by at least 20%.

Finalizers are crap. Having some sort of do-X-with-resource is much better but now you're back to caring about resource ownership and so it's reasonable to ask what it was that garbage collection bought you.

I agree with your parent that these sort of accidental leaks are more likely though of course not uniquely associated with, having a GC so that you can forget who owns objects.

Suppose we're developing a "store" web site with an OO language - every Shopper has a reference to Previous Purchases which helps you guide them towards products that complement things they bought before or are logical replacements if they're consumables. Now of course those Previous Purchases should refer into a Catalog of products which were for sale at the time, you may not sell incandescent bulbs today but you did in 2003 when this shopper bought one. And of course the Catalog needs Photographs of each product as well as other details.

So now - without ever explicitly meaning this to happen - when a customer named Sarah just logged in, that brought 18GB of JPEGs into memory because Sarah bought a USB mouse from the store in spring 2008, and at the time your catalog included 18GB of photographs. No code displays these long forgotten photographs, so they won't actually be kept in cache or anything, but in practical terms you've got a huge leak.

I claim it is easier to make this mistake in a GC language because it's not "in your face" that you're carrying around all these object relationships that you didn't need. In a toy system (e.g. your unit tests) it will work as expected.

Regardless of whether the water is fluoridated or not, the main guideline is "brush your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste". No policy maker elsewhere is pushing narratives against fluoride at large like in the US. These narratives there are even dangerous. One can easily look at dental associations reviews, or official state guidelines and see that more or less they say very similar things. It is very easy to find these policy-informing reviews online.

And regardless of whether the water is fluoridated or not, there is no big debate elsewhere about it, nobody cares that much about it, because all the evidence is that in smaller amounts prob it is does not matter much either way, in the presence of people brushing their teeth. A lot of countries stopped it due to logistic purposes. In netherlands they tried fluoride in the water, a court said they should actually pass a law in order to be able to do it, and they did not even bother with that and dropped it. The fact that some countries may not use fluoride in the water is not due to some deeply-held conviction about how destructive fluoride is for the iq of the kids. In terms of risks of fluoride, fluorosis is what is mostly discussed anyway, and to a degree, unless it is too serious, this may just be an aesthetic issue.

From the perspective of one that watches this craziness from outside, the whole debate is non-sense, and whether some european countries use water fluoridation or not is not very important, it does not cause any heated debate in the EU. The debate in the US is not because the US considers some things that others do not consider. There is no actual truthseeking mentality from the current administration or anybody on this to actually find for sure if fluoride decreases iq, or if fluoride in the water is absolutely essential for dental health even if people are brushing their teeth.

While it's true that par_iter() uses a concurrent data structure under the hood, it's specifically designed to use work-stealing to avoid needing threads to communicate.

Why would putting a lock over a global workqueue be faster than per-thread workqueues that don't require inter-thread communication (except in the case where work-stealing is required)?

Now that you mention that pattern, I can’t say I disagree with your comment. However, the information I can find about Means seems to be fairly…non-controversial. Or at least I don’t understand the controversy (which is very likely).
Check if GrapheneOS suits your needs. It has "contact scopes", ie you cna literally allow the app to see single contact only.

Same with storage scopes: one directory and that's it.

To be fair, I think he wants to have it both ways. He seems to oscillate between the two ways of struggling, even in that one paragraph. I'm just trying to offer a very generous reading. Nick Cave is a great lyricist, but I've never really been impressed with his other writing; he becomes Romantic and fuzzy like this when it's convenient.
You say that, but if I ask you for some random bits, how do I know you're just not just returning something from a pseudorandom generator with a seed you know?

From the paper:

The main challenge for any client receiving randomness from a third-party provider, such as a hardware security module, is to verify that the bits received are truly random and freshly generated. Although certified randomness is not necessary for every use of random numbers, the freshness requirement is especially important in applications such as lotteries and e-games, in which several parties (which may or may not trust each other) need to ensure that a publicly distributed random number was generated on demand. Moreover, certified randomness can be used to verify the position of a dishonest party.
> The contrast between positive freedom, the freedom to do something, and negative freedom, the freedom from interference in your life, is the core political argument in America right now.

True.

> Negative freedom, freedom from government interference, is being promoted by those seeking to weaken the government enough to supplant it.

Tenuous. Then again, like you, all of my political opponents are either stupid or evil or both.

> People who are poor and sick are likely unable to stand up for themselves or participate in solidarity against authority.

Contentious. Sometimes this is true, sometimes it is not - giving negative liberty rights (e.g. first amendment speech protections) to individuals has proven an incredibly effective tool to protect the individual against the state. Not perfect, but incredibly effective all the same.

> This individual issue is relatively small, but you take 100's of issues like this, and the effect is to create a class of people who aren't able to do anything but be obedient workers.

Any supporter of negative liberty (i.e. someone who is for small government) would tell you, that is what government does, which is a big reason why they want small government.

Using SSD seems like a waste of money. I think having a raid like structure with good old spinning hard disks is good enough. Does Amazon use SSD only for S3?

I know backblaze uses HDDs and some raid like addressing.

Exactly this. But remember that "legal personhood" basically just means "able to enter contracts" and does not imply any sort of human rights or humanity. It does not mean anything like what "personhood" normally means.

This has also been the case for the entire history of corporations, which is longer than the history of the US.
> Why don't we wait until the evidence comes out

Why do you assume this will ever happen?
Rats are good critters. They're clean like cats and smart like dogs. They can learn complex tricks if you care to teach them and will engage in mutual grooming with their favorite human.

They are very good pets if you know what to expect
You missed the point. It’s not objectively true in all situations that if you don’t believe fluorinating water is necessary that you’re an a-scientific bad faith actor. One can argue the opposite position in good faith, reasonably. Your statements very strongly supposed that this is a solved case closed topic and any challenges are not supported by evidence. The response was that there is nuance and a better conversation would acknowledge it.
im not sure this is true
>None of them did anything even remotely similar to "inciting domestic terrorism" or "vocally support[ing] terrorist groups"

They were political agitators. A visa is a privilege not a right, and may be revoked for any reason, you don't have to commit a crime.

>though the latter would actually be protected by the 1st Amendment

The 1st amendment applies to US citizens, not guests on visas.

Why do you move to a country on a visa and then protest against it? Name me a country who accepts that from its visitors.

A visa to move to a country is a privilege, not a right. If you're protesting the government who gave you that visa and you're not a citizen, then get out, good-bye, nobody wants extra trouble makers, you can legally protest by leaving the country you dislike.

How is this even a conversation? Imagine you invite a guest in your house starting to annoy you the hell out. You'd want them out even though they haven't committed any crimes worth calling the police.
That would certainly catch nearly all migration issues, but it doesn't provide a helpful error message like a test for a specific mistake like this does.

Ideally both approaches would be used, with the general case being used to detect and inform more targeted tests.
At least they have physical textbooks. Many classes now only provide links to a PDF document and the students still pay $100-$200 for the privilege. Plus, you can’t recover a portion of the cost of the book by reselling it nor can students save money by buying used books.

I disagree that K through 12 is not part of the problem though. The presence of phones in schools, especially smart phones, has definitely had an impact on the learning skills of students. In the old days, if you will, people had to pass physical pieces of paper around in class secretly to communicate, which was riskier and usually a one or two time event. Smart phones are a Pandora’s box of distractions. I also blame schools for lowering their standards to accommodate the lower standards of the students entering their schools. The schools are simply passing these students down the down the river of eventual disappointment. There should be remedial courses and schools should dismiss students that are not willing or able to pass these courses in order to have the ability to perform at an acceptable level.

Taking their money and providing a degree when they haven’t actually learned the material is borderline fraud.

Not the same thing, this is about verifiable randomness, where you can't manipulate it, though I think you can still generate multiple runs and only submit the one that works for your ends, you can't finegrained manipulate it.

I guess these systems are certified, so changing the hardware with a platform that is basically an emulation (based on the first video) requires re-certification. At that point, changing the entire system to something more modern seems like the better option.

Cloud is expensive but hardware failures are at least handled gracefully. With coloc you'd have some serious downtime. That means you'd need to get to a certain level of redundancy in order to have coloc make sense.

I'd love to move to coloc for my SaaS but it doesn't feel as resilient. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'd love to move off the cloud.
The quote you provide is grossly misleading, as that isn’t what tithing meant in the early days of the church. The church just says “which is understood to mean income” so causally that it’s essentially a lie. They say that to get more money. They hold peoples salvation at gun point to make sure it gets paid. And then they use their wealth and influence to drive state policy. It’s all very gross.

Indeed. While the UK and the USA have comparable levels of dental health, in US television actors typically require very good (or rather, cosmetically appealing according to local norms) teeth in order to succeed. In the UK, it's less important.
So many people get Occam’s razor wrong. I like the way you describe it as the least number of concepts and assumptions, rather than just “simplest”.
When a car moves over the ground, we do not call that running, we call that driving as to not confuse the mechanism of the output.

Both running and driving are moving over the ground but with entirely different mechanisms.

I imagine saying the LLM has thoughts is like pretending the car has wheels for legs and is running over the ground. It is not completely wrong but misleading and imprecise.
A brief history of compression on Macs
Calculus is the branch of mathematics that deals with continuous change. Broadly speaking there are two parts to it - differential calculus, which deals with rates of change and integral calculus which deals with areas, volumes and that sort of thing. Pretty early on you learn that these are essentially two sides of the same coin.

So in this particular instance since we are talking about matrix calculus it’s a type of multivariable calculus where you’re dealing with functions which take matrices as inputs and “matrix-valued functions” (ie functions which return matrices as an output).

Calculus is used for a lot of things but for example if you have a continuous function you can use calculus to find maxima and minima, inflection points etc. Since the focus here is machine learning, one of the most important things you want to be able to do is gradient descent to optimise some cost function by tweaking the weights on your model. The gradient here is a vector field which at every point in the space of your model points in the direction of steepest ascent[1]. So if you want to go down you take the gradient at a particular point and go exactly in the opposite direction. That means you know exactly what model weight tweaks will cause the biggest decrease in your cost function the next time you do a training run.

[1] To imagine the gradient, think of an old-school contour map like you’re going to do a hike or something. This is a “scalar field” (a map from spatial coordinates to a scalar value - altitude). The contour lines on the map link points of equal altitude. The gradient is a “vector field” which is a map from spatial coordinates to a vector. So imagine at every point on your contour map there was a little arrow that pointed in the direction of steepest ascent. Because this is matrix calculus you will be dealing with “matrix fields” (maps from spatial coordinates to matrices) as well. So for example say you did a measurement of stress in a steel beam. At each point you would have a “stress tensor” which says what the forces are at that point and in which direction they are pointing. This is a “tensor field” (map from spatial coordinates to a tensor) and a tensor is like a multidimensional matrix but with some additional rules about how it transforms.
