> When you put money in the bank, and the bank gives you interest, that's not your money in the bank, that's the bank's money. What you own is a certificate entitling you to the stream of interest payments

When you give money to a bank, the bank owes you money. You are a creditor and you technically own debt (which may or may not give interests). This debt is money.

The money supply is not a uniform things. It goes from actual paper money, through bank deposits which are more or less indistinguishable from paper money all the way to short term deposits and bonds.

Holding deposits and holding safe bonds is not particularly different. It’s more cumbersome to trade but it doesn’t significantly alter the reasoning about what you will be able to do with the dollars you have.
Create a GitHub-like heatmap of your terminal activity
I rely heavily on my shell's history file for my productivity and practically store history entries indefinitely along with a time stamp. I wondered if it was possible to use this data to create a heatmap of how active I have been on the terminal for each day.

This analysis doesn't look realistic, for at least this reason: 1. Apple is making a serious margin on its hardware. Especially storage is marked up to stupid levels. 2. Apple is sitting on lots of cash.

They have the means to shift at least some of the assembly to the US (or somewhere with 10% tariff), pay the China tariff on the actual price of components, sell at the inflated value of components+assembly as usual. The tariff would impact only a smaller part of the retail cost.
Science is not something to be believed in, it is a methodology that involves making and testing theories etc. People argue about it is and how it works and should work (philosophy of science is a significant field in itself) and it is not well defined, but what it is NOT is a body of facts.

Particular scientific theories may be believed in (or not believed in).

I agree it's confusing at the beginning, but I think it's much better to figure out the rules on your own. It requires a bit of testing, but it's completely doable.

This is weird to say, but it never occurred to me previously that an ISO-8859-1 font perfectly consistent with all variants of itself + CJK(by switching variants or whatever) would be massively useful. CJK speakers usually switch and mix fonts as needed to build a content than trying to pick single font for everything, and vast majority of people just don't understand multiple languages, so there are little driving forces towards a single universal font solution.

But a universal font makes sense. It's almost odd that this is so rarely said out loud.

What happens if your test produces a bunch of stdout, such as using `print(...)` somewhere? Where would it be displayed?

A couple of questions about Docker based on the README:

> enabled = true, -- Enable docker support

What does this do in the end? Is it starting containers or adjusting which test command gets run by prefixing a Docker command?

If so is there a way to opt out of that to have it still use Docker commands without it managing container lifecycles?

> docker_path = '/usr/src/app', -- This is the default path, if you use docker compose this is obtained from the docker compose file

How is this being read from that file? Are you reading a volume?

Is this meant to be what the WORKDIR is set to?

> docker_path_prefix = 'app', -- This is the prefix for the path in the cwd in your local, for example: root/app/<docker_app_content>

Is this meant to be what the WORKDIR is set to or what the COMPOSE_PROJECT would be set to?

> container = 'app-1', -- Container where the tests will be run

Will this be ignored in favor of the compose service name if compose is set to true?

> docker_compose_file = 'docker-compose.yml', -- This is the default docker compose file name

The default name has been compose.yaml for a long time now btw, you may want to support both out of the box.

> enable_docker_compose = true, -- Enable docker compose support

What does this do vs not having it enabled?

Thanks for sharing — Marker is a great tool, especially for human-readable formatting!

In contrast, this project focuses less on preserving the visual layout for human readers, and more on extracting structured semantic data for machine learning training.

So instead of optimizing for clean Markdown or HTML, it extracts context-aware elements like:

• table data as JSON,

• math expressions in LaTeX,

• diagrams with image descriptions,

• multilingual text segments,

• and semantic roles (e.g. “question”, “explanation”, etc.)

In short:
Marker is great for reading,
This is built for feeding into ML pipelines — especially for tasks like question-answering, diagram reasoning, or multimodal pretraining.

I highly recommend Coolify. I evaluated every option when looking for a Heroku alternative, and Coolify is clearly the best as long as you don’t absolutely require zero downtime deploys.

We are hosting over 100 services on it for https://hackclub.com and it’s been great. We’re 3 months in now.

The key is to think about it as a GUI on top of Docker, not as a fully managed solution.

It’s one of those PHP apps that’s weirdly reliable. I see lots of other comments recommending Dokku / Dokploy / others. None of those options are nearly as mature as Coolify in my experience.
It only shows the first pages and the last one for me.
Thanks! Yes — I’m definitely planning to update and refine the project over time.

This initial release is mostly a working prototype to demonstrate the full pipeline logic, and I’ll continue improving stability, modularity, and usability. A lot more updates are in the pipeline, so stay tuned!
Feel free to open issues or suggestions anytime — feedback is always welcome!

“we’re back where we started four years ago, hard coding everything, except now in a much crappier language.”

Not sure if I agree with this. A proper designed DSL has the advantage of being much closer to the domain of the problem it is supposed to solve. Your code written in the DSL now might end up as 'hard coded' part of the application, but it likely conveys much more meaning in much less code because it is tailored to the core functionality of the application.
This is still very much the case. Although most new code is written in other languages, Tcl still has a substantial presence.

It is very cool project, buy I think author (I know, you will read this) take it to the extreme. Again, it is very cool technically, but it contradicts declared goal: to make new computer kit for beginners.

IMHO, it is doesn't matter for novice, what to solder, SOIC8 or SOIC28. SOIC28 is as easy (or hard, if you want) as SOIC8.

And larger chip could make much more useful computer: it will be possible to add some minimal sound (as such chips typically have DAC), keyboard, and, maybe later, true monitor output in VGA style (not DP or HDMI of course).

It will be not much harder (if at all) to solder, but could be good base for expansion if owner gain interest in such things.

There's a third possibility: people hold on to their phones longer than they did in the past. We're already seeing it, even before tariffs.

Is this supposed to be a humorous comment, or are you seriously using the reports coming from doge in an argument, as if they were honest reports?

Show HN: Building a EU hosted FaaS alternative using Rails and Python (Alpha)
I've been working on a small-scale, functions-as-a-service platform where you can create Python functions, map them to routes, and run them through a custom FastAPI engine. It’s all managed via a Rails interface and hosted entirely in the EU.

The goal is to make it easy to define functions and connect them to APIs or webhooks. It’s still in alpha, so things are rough around the edges, but the basics are working.

Would love to hear what others think or if you’ve tried building something similar.
I made almost two full trips around this clock over the last decade on a single project.

One of the biggest takeaways for me is that if you choose to do the DSL, you need to think super hard about your target audience and how they think about the world.

For me, the whole point of DSL is to get the developers working on common modules that the business could string together without too much babysitting.

The first DSL we tried was python, interpreted by way of iron python / C#. This did not stick with the business people at all. It was pure ball-and-chain for the development team.

The second DSL we tried is SQL. The verdict is still out on that one, but the amount of traction so far is almost infinite in comparison to the prior attempts. You can get a non-developer to build SQL queries that express BL if you are patient with them and provide some examples. The tooling is also substantially better if you are using something like SQLite and can easily pass the DB around to play with.

If I was going to approach this fresh, I'd set the clock to noon and then remove the battery. The amount of overhead and risk required to support a DSL is substantial. Even if you use SQL and leverage mostly existing tools, you are forcing developers to build things in a very particular way that isn't necessarily ideal in terms of a pure code solution.

I think you can do a purely hard coded solution that is approachable by the business if it is structured well enough and made available in a friendly context like GitHub. Let the business use the web tool to propose PRs over well documented code they can mostly understand. Maybe there's an "internal" folder that only the neckbeards touch. You can draw your battle lines wherever you please.

For the hardcoded only approach wherein the business people are involved, the choice of language is very important, but I don't know how to have that conversation constructively in this forum.
> not to mention everything in the language is basically a string and all that entail

I disagree with that to at least some extent. Everything is a string works well in TCL because the language is built around that abstraction. It works at least as well as other dynamically typed languages in small projects, and is definitely preferable to Javascript's rather weird weak typing.

It also does async and multi-threading really nicely, and encouraged event driven long before it look off elsewhere.

the normalization of "in soviet russia" jokes. what sorry state we live in.
The analysis is a bit wild but Apple (and all American hi-tech manufacturers if we are being honest) is in a difficult situation.

The issue is that wherever you shift production you will be significantly destabilising their trade balance with the USA. You can optimise but tariffs will probably be bad anywhere you go. Plus China hold sway on some critical part of the supply chain like minerals and it’s virtually impossible to cut them out on a short time frame.

On shoring could be a solution but the USA simply can’t fulfil the demand of its whole value chain without significant investments and who will be crazy enough to make long term investments in such a volatile environment.

You need to learn how to brew coffee, friend.

Bitter generally means "overextracted" (and sour is the indicator for underextracted) The remedy is some combination of cooler water (maybe 90C), shorter brewing time, coarser grind. Also, wait for it to cool off - excellent coffee is almost always bitter when piping hot, but gets delicious when it has become warm.

Freshly roasted beans, and freshly ground for the brew, is crucial as well. Green beans keep their flavor for, let's say, 15 months. Roasted 15 days. Ground 15 minutes. All preground coffee in the grocery store is garbage. (Let alone instant coffee, which was low-grade to begin with, brewed en masse, rapidly dehydrated, and the remaining solids put in a jar for rehydration)

Of course, many have no interest in any of this process, and that's fine. But they're stuck with bland and/or bitter coffee...

Though, you don't need anything fancy to make good coffee. French press is dead-simple and consistent, and you don't even need a French press - you can use any recipient (eg a jar) and then just carefully pour the coffee out and try to leave the sludge behind. A careful Cowboy coffee, essentially.

Give it a try - you might get some enjoyment out of your addiction. Though, I've basically quit coffee altogether as my body has become immensely sensitive to caffeine, to the extent that half a cup daily will subtly mess up my whole life.
> No variable format in 2025?

You're presumably referring to variable fonts, aka multiple master fonts/MMF.

Making a multiple master font is massively more work than discrete variations. The complete total number of MM fonts in existence is a 2- or 3-digit number, out of at least tens of thousands of fonts, if not millions.

Demanding or implying that fonts should be MM in 2025 is just plain out of touch with reality.
> Using samples doesn't mean not musician.

I don't think parent tried to say they're not musicians because they used samples. But more like they had more options, since they weren't just DJs, so it's possible they actually did sound design themselves, rather than sampled it. Someone who only knows DJing obviously has less options available in the beginning if they start producing.

That said, Daft Punk did rely heavily on samples all over the place (not a bad thing), and it would be surprising if there was tracks out there where they didn't use any samples at all.
This I think is closer to the truth, there can be despite all fiducuiary duty an executive who just wants his way. I admire being bold. OSS is in my opinion a "Co-Operation request" and co-operation is in game theory a winning move.
