I hear this and it makes sense but when I actually go about implementing it, it quickly falls apart. Most apps are UI, remote requests and maybe some storage. What do you put in the common core? Android does HTTP requests one way. iOS does

There's an accompanying blog post at https://zserge.com/posts/fenster/ This author has some pretty cool stuff, like a tiny alternative to Firebase https://zserge.com/posts/pennybase/

No. This is a trend. HN is a tech and startups website so it will show trends. At one point it was VR, eventually it was Web 3.0. Right now it's LLMs but this too will pass and something else will come along.

Homebrew was kind of slow, at one point, but I find that it works pretty well these days. Still, this is pretty cool and competitions is always good. Interestingly, I always imagined that a would-be replacement would come written in Swift.

Would you mind expanding on what your friend does? Sounds like energy trading which is something I’ve been taking a look at. I’m just curious.

Ur/Web has some incredible ideas. The main ones being: * HTML fragment type and literals. It's analogous to React's JSX and helps you write statically-checked and type-safe HTML. * SQL literals. Sort of like LINQ in C#. This

You missed the point. Us not polluting is, obviously, great news. What we had to do to get to get here is the bad news. We chose to invest cash we don't have in fixing a problem we don't (really) cause and to which we don't (

That's just wrong. If China (29%) and the US (14%) waved the said wand we'd cut down emissions by almost 50% and would be looking at a completely different scenario.

I'd like to offer a more critical perspective as a Portuguese living in Portugal. We're a country with very severe economical, financial, social and health problems which have been unsolved for years. Living in Portugal is a hard

I think the parent comment was talking about the companies. Instead of re-investing profits into the company -- long-term thinking -- they just pass them over to the investors -- short-term wins.

That's a very reasonable approach. Sort-of like what Substack does on the podcast feeds. Do you think having a feed exclusively for subscriber posts would fit the use-case, though? I'd expect the feed to include both public and pr

Just to be clear, you're neither giving Subscriber Only nor the authors your payment details. All of that is handled by Stripe. Their core service is handling this kind of sensitive data. I can certainly understand not liking recurring

You got it. Copies of your gated posts are kept on the our end which will run access-control and serve it to authorized users. You get to keep all of your content and you won't ever be locked to Subscriber Only. For authentication, the

That's exactly right. That's pretty much all there is to know. Your configuration tokens will show up in the site page as soon as you setup a payment method. Feel free to reach me at vitor@subscriber-only.com if there's anyth

Slightly off topic, but the site seems to be generated by "Olivetti 0.104.3". Has anyone heard of this static site generator? Google's not helping.

This is great! I had the pleasure of exchanging a couple of emails with Kevin, years ago. He was pretty clear that a programming language as a business was a bad play, even more so a closed-source one. I wonder if this will change anything.
