I've hung on to spellign.com for a bit over twenty years now. Creation Date: 2005-10-19T05:59:21Z

The name still makes me giggle. I'd love to build something relevant and silly enough to put there, but I haven't found it yet.

Suggestions are welcome! :)

I'm quite possibly missing something, but this is baffling to me (Text S1 from the paper) [1]:

All the chopped carrots were carefully transferred to the glass wash tray. As shown in Figure 2,

500 mL of ultrapure water was used to wash the blade and the chopping board further to transfer all the particles in the same glass wash tray.

Who would expect contaminants left on the blade and the board to be counted alongside those in the chopped food itself? I suppose it's difficult to rigorously separate the chopped and the chopped-upon, but the distinction seems essential to support, or not, the hypothesis about human consumption.

[1] https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.3c00924?ref=PDF

Something which goes further than this, but works very well for my use case and would probably suit others in the WFH crowd: OpenMPTCProuter [1]

This handles failover between connections and also aggregates them using MultiPath TCP to maximize bandwidth & overall reliability at the expense of increased data usage and the cost of running a machine somewhere with a decent connection, even a cheap VPS.

I'm using it to aggregate ADSL, Starlink and 4G, resulting in a stable 250mbps/50mbps connection.

* [1] https://www.openmptcprouter.com/

Forgot to say that it's open source (AGPL) on GitHub [1]. I find it handy just being able to run `git blame` on a doc, but I'm sure it could be made more useful. Contributions are welcome!

The only benefit of the hosted version is that the OAuth setup is already done. If you're ok registering an OAuth app with Google (instructions in README.md) then it's trivial to run yourself. Given that there's no fine-grained permissions on Drive - it has to ask for read only access to your entire Drive just to access one doc - I completely understand wanting to run it locally.

As someone who's been actively looking for a headless CMS recently, I'm curious about how you compare yourselves to Contentful [1]?

From a quick look the key difference is that Payload's backend can be self-hosted, but Contentful is SaaS only.

You've said that you're targeting enterprise customers and mention an SLA in that respect. Does that mean your enterprise offering is also SaaS only?

As Graydon Hoare notes in the comments on GitHub this wasn't the first repo so the real history goes back even further. He's also shared a "prehistory" repo [1] which is interesting to browse. The first commit [2] in _that_ repo is from 2008 but Graydon mentions starting work back in 2006.

Anyway in a sense this repo represents Rust in the real world rather than in gestation, so seems apt to call it the birthday.

They appear to cover similar ground, although Plex seems to incorporate other sources of content - not really a point of interest for me.

Would you recommend one over the other if I'm only interested in my own content collection?

I’d never read the original and I find it fascinating and inspiring.

It’s striking to think that 74 years ago, in the shadow of the last world war, there was such sincere optimism.

It’s shocking how many of these points are still contentious now, even in countries we view otherwise as free and modern.

Hi, I'm Arpad, one half of Repography.

There's an entry in our FAQ [1] about this. We only use OAuth to identify your GitHub account and then the GitHub app installation has much better defined permissions.

I'd love to be able to restrict the OAuth scope even further but GitHub doesn't let us. I've heard this concern a couple of times now so I'll have another look. I can hopefully at least improve how it's presented and communicated so it's more reassuring!

Hi HN, I made this, and keen to hear what you think of it.

Repography analyses your Git repos to render a couple of different outputs:

* Graphical dashboards which you can embed in your README.md. If you use the GitHub app these can be kept up to date automatically.

* Posters in a variety of styles and themes which you can purchase either as a download or a framed print.

Hello HN, here's a side project I've been working on for way too long - Work/Artwork lets you create a high-end poster based on an artistic visualisation of your Git repo.

I've seen somewhat similar ideas before but I wanted to create something I'd actually want to put on my wall, or give to a client or to team members to celebrate a project.

I've worked with 4 different artists to create these design systems and I think the range of output is great - depending on your repo some designs will work better than others, and there are also some settings to tweak for each one.

I'm happy to answer questions on the implementation, the process, or just why it's taken so bloody long (first prototype was about 5 years ago!)...

MDN Plus 5 years ago

I'm still seeing $5/month - https://imgur.com/a/SkQyAIo - I guess either it's priced per region (I'm in the EU) or they're A/B testing based on the number of subscriptions to the launch notification.

MDN Plus 5 years ago

Seems like an inoffensive route to monetization for the excellent MDN docs and I hope it's successful, but $5/month (presumably per user for an organisation?) is pretty punchy for the current offering.

Customizing the compatibility tables is a nice idea, but we're talking about shaving seconds of developer time per month.

The core of this is of course the response header "Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace" which in theory lets the server push updated chunks of any content type (although apparently only images in Chrome since 2013 [1]).

While it's a crude and handy way to update some content after the initial load without JS, it was also widely used with JS before Web Sockets - to push messages to clients with less latency than XHR polling.
