Thanks for the suggestion, and it's a thought I had myself. The main issue there is that unrolling doesn't happen in real time: a copy is stored in Thread Tree with all the node positions worked out, and that takes a minute or two to fetch.

It's not great UX to say "thanks for submitting a URL, come back in like ten minutes to see if we've gotten to it".

I've only recently been introduced to Twitter, and I found the user experience around threaded conversations lacking: top-level replies are easily accessible, but deeper conversations are hidden behind Show Replies.

To that end, I've built Thread Tree over the last few days on the model of Thread Reader, where one requests an unroll by replying to the thread while mentioning the app bot. What I've got so far is an MVP, so suggestions are welcome regarding design of the interface, feature set, other opportunities in the space and so forth.

For me, this whole fiasco was the last straw: Quantum had already broken the plugins I use for vertical tabs, and then I found that the only reason Quantum was introduced was to allow this Looking Glass plugin to collect telemetry from the whole of the browser window, not just the pages being rendered. Like yourself, I've been a Firefox user since the Phoenix days, but this was a step too far.

I switched to Vivaldi, which is a Chromium with high levels of customization, including a vertical tab bar.

Looks like Senator Club's Wordpress wasn't expecting to get hit quite so hard. I don't suppose anyone has the text/transcript of this to hand?

Are British HN'ers taking any mitigating steps due to this whole situation?

I'm currently in the process of incorporating in the Netherlands, and it turns out setting up a Ltd is a lot more expensive over there than in the UK. I just don't feel that the UK will make good use of my tax receipts any more, so I'm almost obligated to take my work elsewhere.

"Async mode on" makes sense to a developer, but it's meaningless jargon to a non-technical PM. Perhaps "I'll get back to you" or "Leave a message" would work better?

[Unrelated: Good to see you're still around; feel free to drop by EFnet again sometime.]

For what it's worth, your "longer video" is just two copies of the shorter video spliced together. Did you mean to provide another link there?

I believe that's the point: you never notice a Billy, it turns into part of the wall. You can build a wall of storage with shelves in various places, and it's fully extensible.

They've never made a secret of it being LAMP throughout. There's still some code in there from the original PHP4 site 14 years ago (or at least, there was at the time I left staff).

Specifically on 6502-derived processors, you have the following registers: Accumulator, X and Y indexes, Stack Pointer, Program Counter, Flags. Of these, only the Program Counter is double-width.

Additionally, the zeroth "page" of memory (the lowest 256 bytes) are accessible with a dedicated addressing mode which saves space and time in the program, and can be used as a form of cache.

It's worth noting that there are lots of stores not indexed by Semantics3, and Amazon is one of the big ones they miss out.

Fully Charged interviewed the CEO of SunAmp recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9upXeTMHUqE

One of their new projects is to ship heat, stored in phase-change material, from a generation plant to central Bristol on a barge full of SunAmp cells. So it's a similar concept, shipping heat batteries instead of Powerpacks.

554 days ago, I posted about Commodore Clicker: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8806169

It didn't get any traction, and I haven't had time to work on it since, but I still run into people from time to time who say they've enjoyed a quick game. It still stands as a high-point in my technical achievement, as a full emulation of the interface between the Commodore 64 and its disk drive, all in JavaScript.

Didn't find a way to monetize, though.

Great Britain is the name of the island, as distinct from the other Britain (Brittany, France) which is slightly smaller in area.

No-one ever refers to Brittany as Britain, but the anachronism remains.

You could, sure, but that depends on Twitter still being around if/when the case comes to court. The blockchain, being independently held and cross-verified at every node of the network, is more reliable in this regard.

So what happens if you have a blog but can't find the time to write to the level of detail you'd like? I haven't had a chance to write a thing since my aborted series on JPEG encoding, two years ago; there are multiple abandoned series lurking in there, waiting for me...

The Grasshopper tests had a full tank of fuel and (if I recall) additional ballast, to counteract the thrust of the engines. That's what allowed them to hover and perform the various low-velocity translation tests.

Of course, these barge landings are the first high-velocity tests, so there'll be kinks to work out.

Essentially, your income in retirement should not be dictated by your current income, but by your current level of expenses. If you can save a multiple of your current annual expenses, and that multiple is high enough to account for real-terms investment gains, you're financially independent: you don't need to work any more.

The number generally used is 25x, which corresponds to real-terms gains of 4% per year on your savings.

Not including the Dragon 2's pad-abort test, which is ostensibly next week. That may slip, though.

I remember that there were multiple userbase attempts to lobby Wikimedia for this in the past. Looks like Coinbase's recent partnering successes have made the difference, in this case at least.

I have, in the past, been forced to type an Xmodem transfer program into debug.com's hex mode, to get to the point where I can transfer files over a null-modem connection from another box. I can dig up the file in question, if that'd help you out at all.

I ended up typing it in 1k at a time, and independently typing in a CRC32 utility to check that I'd done it properly.

(That was to install Windows 98 on a computer with no drives, if I recall. So, not so very long ago.)

I seem to recall that imaging the bootloader ROM straight off the silicon was how the original Gameboy's bootloader was finally pulled out.

I just forget who did it, which is unfortunate.

The utm_* parameters tend to be used for source tracking; the important ones here being "content" and "campaign".

Of course, this particular link doesn't refer to HN in its campaign code, so their statistics are going to get a little confused.

I've no idea.

Maybe HN doesn't like the fact that OP is posting so much in the comments?

Unsurprisingly, this has been done.

(Guess it goes to show there are no new ideas left in the world...)

Not yet. Cryptsy, at the very least, are working on a DOGE/USD market; I know there are other exchanges doing the same, but I forget which.

There's a vanity address generator, which bruteforces private keys until it finds a corresponding public key that matches your desired pattern.

I forget where the generator lives, but it runs locally and eats CPU for hours.

For what it's worth, the table at the bottom of Dogecoin Average links directly to each market used to calculate the price.

(Except Coined Up; I've requested API access to their price lists, it may be a little while.)

The community, and particularly the generosity of tipping, seems to have been a driving factor. There are already multiple "tipping bots" on Twitter, which will give out Doge on command.

There's speculation that a similar functionality for Facebook would be like strapping SRB's to the side of the Doge moonrocket, and give it Much Velocity.
