This entire list is Slack alternatives, not Discord alternatives. Discord is first-and-foremost a gaming voice chat platform. Teamspeak is the OG in that space and should've been the top of this list.

> And every second I spend trying to do fun free things for the community like this is a second I'm not spending trying to turn the business around and make sure the people who are still here are getting their paychecks every month.

Then step aside as the maintainer of the project then and better yet, make something like Tailwind-foundation etc. which is truly open source. Go spend your time building your business, but you can't become the bottleneck and not do anything for something that has become so foundational for Web Dev.

What's the fundamental limitation to context size here? Why can't a model be fine-tuned per codebase, taking the entire code into context (and be continuously trained as it's updated)?

Forgive my naivety, I don't now anything about LLMs.

Igalia is a consultancy that specializes in fixing bugs/building features in Browsers. My company uses them regularly

I'd remove the else if blocks since we're returning.

    private String generateGuessSentence(char candidate, int count) {
      if (count === 0) return "There are no " + candidate + "s";
      if (count === 1) return "There is 1 " + candidate;

      return "There are " + count + " " + candidate + "s";
    }

Google having so many private photos in Google Photos must be a goldmine for them.

One advantage of GET is I can just copy the URL and share it. The article makes no mention of that.

While I love the proposal (apart from the name, I can see the SEARCH verb being used for something that's not search), they should also address the URL share-ablity aspect.

Something like https://google.com/search where query can be arbitrarily large (>2000 URL length restriction) and the browser is smart enough to treat only https://google.com/search as the URL and anything after that as the body. The complete "URL" can be big and shared anywhere else.

Eh, don't worry about it. As long as the job you're working at is paying you enough to live and save enough, change as many hobbies as you want and change as many jobs as you want.

As someone who has just heard the name Web3 over and over again, is there anything tangible that I can try? I have tried IPFS, but I don't know if it's "web3".

I believe so as well. Compose is very similar to Electron. Jetbrains Toolbox (which uses compose) uses 500mb memory which is on par with what Electron would use for such a simple app.

I found a solution: Use Photos (iCloud photos) along with Google Photos since I already use an iPhone. Thanks for the comments, but I believe this is the easiest.

The most valuable thing for me is my photo library. All of them are currently in Google Photos. Is there any easy way to backup just that? I don’t care about my personal email, tasks, calendar etc. It’s just the thought of losing my photos scares me.

It's "just javascript" because if you want to modify anything and have it re-render, it's `let counter = 0; counter++`, not `const [counter, setCounter] = useState(0); setCounter(counter + 1); `. Of course there's template and all, but for regular logic, you don't have to fiddle around abstractions.

New comment by asattarmd in "Ask HN: Which companies work like Gumroad?"

asattarmd — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 17:46:23 +0000

At what revenue would it start calling a full company rather than just a side-project?

It's a little different for Gumroad because they started as a company with an office and became this, but for many side projects, they start out without meetings, without offices and remain that way earning a couple of thousand USD per month.

Why are you being an asshole? Seems Inconsiderate.

You can remove those "Seems Inconsiderate" and still give feedback.
