   Yeah they're nice and fun to build. I imagine if you wanted to, you'd run this behind a VPN at #corporation, which will be a huge pain to get approval for, but not that bad.

   Thanks! So far the limits are about 500Kb, which is more than enough for what this service is intended for. The setting of multiple keys I'd have to think about, as it's already so easy to acquire multiple keys -- ie I don't

   I don't yet, but let me get back to you in a couple days. I think it'd be interesting to all.

   I just built it without a backfill, new data should have a full read-only hash -- I'll try to backfill the data tomorrow

   Hell yeah, I'm planning to keep it up for a good while and lemme know if something isn't working or you'd like a new feature. bontaq @ the google mail .com

   I see some of you are realizing that I haven't enforced any data url to be a UUID, good on you. I hope it opens up new neat things like https://textdb.dev/data/hello-hackernews or more creative ideas.

   It is done, lmk if it works alright. The read only hashes should be visible beneath the data editing view on a new one.

   There currently isn't, but it is intended for small amounts of data. Today or tomorrow I'll probably put a cap at 500Kb or so, which is still a heckload of data.

   That's a cool idea, I'd definitely like to add the ability to create a little store with more safety, and that totally works with the goal of simplicity. I'll give it a shot.

    nginx is in front, but it's just doing a proxy and setting some headers, so effectively cowboy's serving everything. So far it's doing a great job too, CPU is at 2%, 1Gb free ram of the 4Gb available, and a pretty constant 1M

    Sure, I just made it public over here: https://github.com/bontaq/textdb Yeah I'm not sure why it's doing that, v annoying though

    Made because I couldn't find a simple, no-sign-up service to sync a list of names for a command line tool. And resubmitted because yesterday I goofed and the curl commands listed didn't point to the right location, which really t

    I put this together because I couldn't find a dead simple data sharing service for a side project. I didn't want to deal with auth, or tables, or anything complicated -- just a small amount of data that I could monitor by leaving

    > So, an ask: any historical examples where government policy other than deregulation has increased the efficiency with which a resource is used? I would say there are examples around. For example, the numerous dams and levees we enjoy.

    I'd also imagine remote employees are cheaper anyways because they don't require office space.

    It took me way too long to come across Trace, if it was more widely known I don't think we'd see so many "impossible to debug" related issues. It's great.

    You literally implied robinhood was somehow swinging the dow jones down 7% at open due to an "infinite money" cheat. Maybe just accept new information and correct your weird conspiracy theory.

    You realize that's due to shorts, puts, and more bad news right? It's not mysterious at all.

    We could let the government build factories, mines, and services. Then profits could be directed towards the program. The government services could also have a mandate for automation and job-destruction, in order to maximize the effective

    I think you missed the point. Haskell, keeping up with research, allows for further research. That research allows you to explain your ideas better and explore. It could save you refactoring time if you could explain it right the first t

    For things like this I recommend going to wikipedia and looking up "Functor" -- there's some weird dislike of category theory terms but we're all fine with terms like "singleton" or "Factory" You&#x27
