Indeed. Which led me to ask the question because there wasn’t much context provided on why it was posted on HN in the first place.

That’s the thing, I don’t know enough about the inner workings of the credit card system so I couldn’t explain anything to you. …which is why I asked for clarification.

So is the point then of posting the article here on HN just to show the irony of Musk’s tweet?

I guess the lack of context around why this link was posted is causing some confusion. To me, the fact that the quote was taken from a time when democracy was not popular makes this whole HN posting sound like an argument against it (democr

Wait, so is this an argument against elections too? Or maybe an argument for electoral votes and against popular votes?

Do you mean it cannot be used for verification or just that it’s currently not practiced?

I also like to use NocoDB for this since, not only does it produce a REST API interface for the underlying SQLite/Postres/MySQL/etc database, you can also use it to build airtable like interfaces via its Web UI.

But is it “only one part” or more like a reliable indicator of the overall ecological health?

> WhatsApp doesn't do this, it works on all platforms. …as long as the recipient also has WhatsApp. If WhatsApp were to support communicating with non-WhatsApp recipients, it would have to fall back to SMS, I imagine.

iMessage doesn’t use SMS when communicating with other iPhones.

Thanks for sharing this! I’ve become reluctant to build standalone/external DSLs due to my past experience where I had to also be responsible for building the developer tooling around it such that it’s easier for others to adopt it. Je

What does everyone think about investing in Paladium and other rare earth metals? NOTE: via legit markets, not the catalytic converter black market.

Great start! One way you could improve this is to not stop at just reporting a single data point but report the P50, P75, and P90 of a reasonable set of data points. Also, it's probably better to call this HTTP latency rather than ping

Ah, I understand now. As a potential user though, I think if the tool worked with the OpenAPI one way or another, I'd be able to mock a service's API much faster. For example, maybe it can ingest OpenAPI and transpile it to your t

More than just convenience of expression, it guards against "impossible states." This article[1] does a good job of explaining it. [1] https://dev.to/davidkpiano/you-don-t-need-a-library-for-stat...

“If” conditions and state machines are not mutually exclusive. You can implement a proper State machine with “If” conditions. That switch-case alternative you’re suggesting? That’s just another manifestation of the same concept behind “If”

I have a problem with this premise: > Velocity metrics are as loathsome as the horoscope because neither provides any insight on why something went wrong or how to fix it. Specifically, it assumes that there is that one metric out there

To be somewhat fair, the actual paper it links to is a good read. https://www.nber.org/papers/w30395 Edit: added direct link to paper.
