Solvency

so why isn't there a single cash flow view/report that all businesses use rather than all of these bloated and apparently ineffective methods? PL etc..

As a kid I always dreamt of coding for PS1 on one of those black dev console kits.

As an adult.. boy I wish someone made a cozy Javascript transpiler to PS1 tool.

while i agree because i hate people and crowds and love small isolated beach towns...

Miami FL sort of proves that you can have absolutely insane amounts of development in a beach area and get massive tourist traffic.

hasn't this been the nature of ski towns for decades? they've always been tiny communities with transients and tourist booms and lots of rentals, resorts, cabins, etc.

Really? it sounds super tinny and digital, more like when Neo is first pulled out of the matrix.

Grammatically the title should be "Total eclipse ON the Internet:"

It's been at its worst for like 6 years.

That last paragraph is literally the same basic sentence about "little steps" written three times in slightly different ways.

Did you get this quote from an AI written SEOspam site?

Isn't it kind of depressing that it's virtually and effectively impossible for anyone to replicate a comparable success story like this in 2024, short of maybe being a billionaire nepo baby?

amazons shop and go had thousands of paying customers and yet was still abandoned because the majority of the AI check out decisions had to be offloaded to a human to verify.

So I guess it depends on your definition of demo.

i don't get it, this applies to every single game. you can't beat aimbots in fps, you can even rig any game bot to play perfectly.

that's why you play against HUMANS.

OK so I'm confused about this. I live in Southern California, in a pretty populated area. if you search Google or yelp, there are virtually no at home services like this besides geek squad. But surely there must be a need? If you look on Nextdoor, people are constantly asking for help with TV, computers, phones, etc.

but even more than hardware: software! the amount of stuff that horse wearing on people's devices with iCloud and other consumer software services is mindboggling.

So what happened to all the independent small businesses? Is there simply not a need? Or is there an opportunity here for a bunch of college kids to put some vinyl graphics on their cars and create their own local equivalent of geek squad? it honestly seems like rape territory, especially in an age where people are less and less connected to the technicalities of their devices, peripherals, etc.

> People emboldened by market and housing gains have to been spending ridiculous amounts of money like there is no tomorrow

what are you basing this claim on? the fact that airbnb bookings are up for a rare celestial event?

here is where all of my ridiculous amounts of money is going towards: $6/gal gas in california, ever-increasing property taxes, ever-increasing insurance premiums, $399 "surgery" charges at an ENT simply because they looked up my nose for half a second, insanely expensive annual car registration charges, etc.

my job has me managing multiple contractors/vendors at a time. you employ checks and balances, contractual obligations, smart project plans and requirements, and regular oversight.

how is this any different.

so why does the government/navy incentivize such bloated inefficiency, slop, and misuse of resources/time/money/energy?

it costs $3000/month just to use Lago. this just seems insane but it's normalized by developers + big business.

Can i ask why, in 2024, basic internet payment infrastructure isn't a commoditized resource shared across FANG/governments/ISP/banks? Why Does it have to be this way? Why must it be so convoluted for the merchants themselves? Why must it cost so much money just to be able to accept payments? Don't we all love payments? Don't transactions make the world go round? Are we already paying taxes on literally everything? Wouldn't it be in everyone's best interest is to make the simple act of doing business be as simple, frictionless, and barrierless as possible?

There are none. We live in an era where anything remotely unique (like that new Knob keyboard) costs $500.

One command: npx.

Your friend should realize that a basic GAPS diet would resolve 99.9% of their IBS issues. Literally throw some chicken and bone broth in an instant pot and eat that daily. A little salt. That's it. Do it for a year. Hell, do it for a month.

When your gut health bounces back, start to mix it up again.

" I didnt' see my family, I didn't see my friends. I slept on the factory floor."

Oh, and maybe stop doing that too. Chronic stress equals chronic inflammation equals IBS and an array of other issues.

This mentality is utterly baffling to me.

This doesn't feel brutalist at all.

https://klikkentheke.com is a great directory of minimalist brutalist typographically driven websites.

Yours feels a little like a retro hacker UI.

That is 10x more complicated and unorthodox than simply running "$ npm install --save facesjs".

It makes me happy I can wear analogue contact lenses so I can avoid wearing heavy hard objects around my face and nose 24/7, constantly dealing with smudges and spots on the glass, removing them to rub my eyes or itch around them, exercising, sweating, etc. Glasses are medieval torture devices set to slow burn.

Most software today is built as "offensively" as possible.

Why would Roku need to take screenshots of your TV when they're the ones piping you the content on said TV...

This would be even better if it were a chat interface to ChatGPT so you could ask it troubleshooting questions next time your machine won't boot into OS.

and every other non-sadist would've done this in 2 seconds in <insert 500+ FOSS video editors>. not sure how wrangling a byzantine CLI is a joy to use.

Makes you wonder why developers had to invent such shitty CLI UX in the first place instead of natural language syntax, keywords, and arguments.

I don't buy this take for a second. You honestly don't think Google has a VAST and complete trove of time-stamped data scraped and indexed from decades of its existence. You don't have access to it. But they do.

> Such a massive new source of text will surely influence how language is spoken

Before chatGPT I'd see the words "it's worth noting.." maybe five times in my entire life (39 years old).

I now see that stupid phrase dozens of times per day, every single day, everywhere I go.

Including HN, which tosses it around even more than Reddit.
