I've heard that, but I don't find it to be true. For me at least, one page per day keeps me connected.

<sigh>. A "bookshelves" page to highlight good suggestions and moving the search up to the top are high on the list, but I'd got to the point I needed some real user feedback to get fired up to spend some more time on it.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I like that, especially a chunk of pages.

SMS/WhatsApp would be a cinch, the APIs look similar to email sending APIs. It's on my backlog, but I never actually really answered the question of why you'd want that? When would you prefer an SMS/WhatsApp message over an email? The biggest complaint folks have is around lack of context for a single page, which would be exacerbated by an even shorter text message?

Oh thanks man! Let me know any feedback!

Oh! Thanks for the note on the cover. Will change that. Don't want any nasty letters about copyright.

So, I agree re: the habit. I'm out of the habit, but I'm definitely in the habit of reading my email, so I guess the idea is bringing the content to where the people are.

Definitely not clear yet if this will be 'a thing'

There are apps for reading books. I like the random part and yeah you could make it pretty slick to convert to paid only if there's a decent level of engagement.

Thanks for taking the time to come up with that. :p

My first job was at a supermarket. There was a big sign on the door saying "NO NEWSPAPERS". Memories.

Indeed. The pagination algorithm is terribly naive. It's 2000 chars x the page you're up to. Breaking on a sentence or paragraph would be better. v1.1!

Feedback includes:

- Some books are terrible for this, such as ones with lots of footnotes! A page of footnotes is no fun - Some feature requests for things like only sending a page if you 'ack' the page you've read - Some folks like it

It's an experiment really. I probably should have included the origin story somewhere...

I was driving across the U.S. listening to an audio book about American History. Each chapter the author would mention influential books of the time. I was really impacted by the chapter on slavery and really wanted to read Uncle Tom's Cabin. Whilst I've got through plenty of classics, with a job and family, I thought it was unlikely I'd sit down and read it cover-to-cover.

As I thought about it more, I realized that even though I have a Kindle, I rarely read it, but I always read my email on the bus on the way to work. So... what if I just received a page per day? The whole site is basically an experiment to answer that question. I'm enjoying it so far, and now I'll find out if others do too!

So far I'm finding you actually do have enough context to keep track of things. Maybe not get hooked (but there's also a 'request another page' link in the email for those days with bad traffic)

:)

Thanks for the suggestion! Glad to know I wasn't the only one that a page a day appealed to! If you sign up, the footer of each email does actually have: - Request another page - Manage - Unsubscribe

And under Manage, you can pause, skip ahead or back etc. I decided to hold off on any features until I saw if folks actually enjoyed consuming content this way.

Maker here. AMA! Happy Thanksgiving!

That was one of the drivers. We liked the core technology, but could see there was a significant barrier to actually using it. Being able to point your domain at IPFS content and then providing that (ssl secured) site to the masses is a big step forward.

There is something nerdly satisfying doing something in ascii. I started a Bloomberg text style crypto dashboard. https://github.com/stevenpack/cryptowarrior. No real reason other than... ascii is cool... for some reason.

My pleasure! Hey, what do you like more about YouTube for watching the videos?

Indeed. It was very much just prepared as some talking points for the folks in the room. Makes more sense with the video. Note to self: Stuff about Rust always makes it to HN. :)

The slide says 10% requests. http[s] requests that is, not packets.

Here are the videos and slides... (from the May 2018 Bay Area Rust Meetup, which was hosted at Cloudflare)

Rust is being used in production at Cloudflare. Redox is not used here in any capacity.

That was purely on the list of reasons why I personally got interested in Rust and I support redox on patreon. I love the idea of an OS built on Rust from the ground up as a way to eliminate a category of security bugs.

The second slide is about when Cloudflare chooses Rust as a language.

That's what happens when Product Managers present the things the engineering team is doing. :) The bigger projects are in London. I'm going to try get the engineers out to SF next time we host and go a bit deeper. The EM is on this thread answering questions also.

You sound like the one to submit a PR to auto-refresh the line chart! Set it to minute mode and watch your retirement tick closer :)

Thanks! What's the link to your API? I only discovered gdax-tt halfway through, which is an attempt to offer a level of abstraction over the various crytpo exchanges.

Yes! This helps a lot actually. Thanks!

Yep. Like to see some competition and I’m a huge fan of rust, so like to support it any way I can.

I hit minor compatibility issues on some sites, but it’s rare.

Main thing I miss is auto shrinking tabs. FF doesn’t support the bajillion tabs methodology so well right now.

Erm - why yes, that is exactly what I am talking about. :|

I don't what version I had, but this game was my introduction to Jazz.

I installed that software on Linux. It then randomly spread my music library around my Gooogle Drive. Support's answer "Your local sync db must have got corrupted. But here is a list of all the files that got moved" wtf?!

If only there were a systems programming language, offering c-like performance with memory guarantees and well suited to high throughput network servers that would catch this class of bugs at compile-time [1] [2]

Maybe schadenfreude. More likely, I think you can learn more from a post-mortem article than a startup one. I run a startup, so I'm always keen to lean the lessons other founders are generous enough to share.

freelancer.com as a client had me signed up before I even realised...
