That's a further-compressed version of an already over compressed doc. I prefer https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5955997/Muellerre...

That’s exactly what I’m seeing. A price with an asterisk, and below the fold, “Prices above include potential incentives and gas savings.”

So, it’s not just “like” they are doing it, they are doing it.

Plot twist: the adoption of the orphans is in fact the canonical blockchain transaction and the recent slowdown in verifications is due to a lack of orphans. This need for more orphans is the fuel for global warfare ultimately turning the purpose of humanity into that of being slave to the blockchain.

Nothing has soured me more on bitcoin than its impact on the environment. If for no other reason than that, I'm done with it.

Looks like a fun thing to experiment - what headset to you recommend?

It occurs to me this could be a metaphor for code complexity at various levels of abstraction. I'm picturing a recursive method that:

- calculates LOC of a top-level method - calculates lines of code for each method called within that - builds an hourglass visualization showing as you go up or down the abstraction layers how the LOC changes

It seems like this might be useful for seeing - where in the abstraction layers there are major changes in density of functions - where there is over-abstraction (many, many tiny functions) - where there is not enough abstraction (a bulge in LOC, or overall large numbers)

Combining this with cyclomatic complexity may provide a more nuanced view for code analysis. It would allow you to quickly hone in on parts of the code-base that have too much density.

Needed an additional 11GB of packages to install to build. No thanks.

I find this true, and depressing at the same time. The amount of curation needed for a constantly evolving code base is vastly underestimated by most, even to achieve the modest design goals (IMO) that you are espousing.

Clearly there was some magic on that team. Exhibit A: hiring Eno to create the startup sound.

I think the commas very well placed. If it reads like Shatner to you, then perhaps you are reading as if they were ellipses?

And another one: you are not IN a traffic jam, you ARE the traffic jam.

SMTP is a store and forward protocol that in no way provides real time chat speeds. It is designed to be robust, not fast.

Oh nm, that's my Hacker News Enhancement Suite extension doing that.

It has a .mourning CSS class on the body tag. So there's that.

I just tried to join, and the web site is beyond broken. I don't know how anyone uses it.

Comments like this don't exactly reflect well on you, either. Why not lead by example?

That was an epic launch. Docking the phone and using desktop apps, and then the removable Surface Book screen, wow. It eclipsed the Surface Pro 4 launch, which is what I expect most people were most hyped about. I have to go back and remind myself what changed there...

I set up one of these deliberately in younger days...

As a bored government employee in the early 1990s, I become fascinated with the WWW. I was a network admin (NetWare 2.15c), and there was a fat, unused internet pipe and several unused phone lines. I started to mess around with Linux (Slackware kernel 0.97 I think), and after two weeks I had it talking to a Hayes modem. Voila, instant ISP! A little while later I installed Slirp, and it became my personal dial-up connection for many, many years.

Before I left that job in 1995, I moved the server (headless) to a broom closet (wrong of me, I know, I know). Knowing gov't culture, no one would mess with something like that. It was up and running at least until 1998 or so, at which point I moved to another country, and when I moved back, I no longer had the dial-up number. I like to think it is running to this day.

Is this open source?

You sleep in their shops of course! "Oh, don't mind that woman sleeping beside the cans of soup, she is our SEO expert!"

By rotating where you sleep among your clients, you build stronger relationships and have better insight into their business.

I love your idea and will probably subscribe soon. I couldn't find a Twitter account on your home page - this would be a great thing to do. I would follow the account even before subscribing to candy delivery, and seeing posts from you would keep it top of mind so I would remember to subscribe. And of course make it easier for me to publicize your great idea. :)

I would buy your wood-things.

I just came back to say that the documentation really is beyond excellent.

Definitely, and there are other benefits in parallelizing the work stream if you have people that do layout and styling, but aren't necessarily up to constructing a page in a javascript framework.

I am really interested in this, and am going to give it a go on my next project. Its areas of responsibility are contained and well-defined, the syntax is nicely concise, and it really feels like plain old javascript, which gives me the comfort I can get under the hood if I need to, without massive conceptual/abstraction overload.

If I am iffy on anything, it would be the templating language, but I suppose a React-type HTML syntax could be optionally layered over top without interfering with anything else. And there is something secure about javascript-rendered HTML in that you are much less likely to have unclosed tag issues, etc.

But for me, having experimented with some of the slower performers like angular, performance is a huge draw, and I am willing to write my templates in js if that's what it takes to get it.

It's not clear to me why we need another Google. You are talking about implementation, but what is the value you aim to provide?
