Most mom and pop stores (Kirana stores) in India cannot get a PoS device easily. UPI solves this problem by being much easier for merchants to onboard and start accepting payments with just a QR code instead of a PoS device.

Reinventing Socialism from first principals

From this we can see a few patterns: https://www.npmleaderboard.org/

Node.js doesn't have good support for regex, handling files, streams, serving static html, routing, operations on lists/dicts.

The problem is that node.js doesn't have a good standard library so one must rely on external packages to build even basic apps.

I hope ronan farrow doesn't mind his article being shared like this

This looks interesting. What I don't understand is: how was it implemented without a server relay. I am no expert in WebRTC (or P2P for that matter) but I always assumed that there needs to be a central location for users to exchange their addresses and only then a P2P connection can be established. This must be the case here as well right? Or am I mistaken?

I am working on a standalone CLI tool that can do analytics find it here: https://github.com/nafey/minimalytics

Motivation for the project:

This project was born out of the need for a lightweight analytics tool to track internal services on a resource-constrained VPS. Most SaaS analytics products either lack the scalability or exceed their free tier limits when tracking millions of events per month. Minimalytics addresses this gap by offering a minimalist, high-performance solution for resource-constrained environments.

I recently did a Show HN which you can find on my profile.

Thank you! Copying and processing the sqlite is always an option but I agree something like CSV exports are a good feature to add.

Wow. It looks like the two of us were responding to the same underlying needs. Great to see your project.

This is an interesting use case. I can definitely see how a colored cell in a grid can serve as a visual indicator to monitor health of infrastructure. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you! I already had experience working in React so I decided to use it for the first release.

I am thinking about switching to HTMX to further reduce size, simplify and improve performance.

Thank you that's a good suggestion. I'll do that.

Just adding a static website with screenshots of the product will be a great upgrade for users who are interested to learn more before signing in.

They want more users, not more utilization. Utilization is the effect of users not its cause. They are happy to have utilization increase as long as they keep getting more users. If the utilization increases while number of users remain constant because people (like OP) are using CPU intensive programs then that is not in their interest.

Wow thanks for sharing this, this certainly is a use case not covered by the system I proposed. I imagine this will require versioning of the timezone so we can translate our America/Los_Angeles v1.0 timestamp to America/Los_Angeles v2.0.

I have always wondered why breaking the timestamp (in UTC) and the timezone into two separate data points and storing both is not the accepted solution. It appears like the cleanest solution to me.

I believe it's a missed opportunity not to bundle sqlite in major browsers. I understand that making SQLite part of the browser spec introduces all sorts of complications [1] down the line. But nevertheless, it would have proved to be quite a nifty tool.

Also he was stupid, any other billionaire would have relocated to a country that does not have extradition treaty with the US.

Well he also thinks that Egyptians used Sonic energy of their chants to build the pyramids.

Interac is not real time. UPI is completely real time and money gets debited from your account and deposited to the merchants account instantly.

This is a South Korean breakthrough

Outright bans on smartphones in schools are no different from the video game, TV screen time

The distinction is that tvs and video games are indeed banned in school. Banning smart phone usage outright is different from banning smart phones in school.

Have you considered flat pricing for lifetime access? You can easily calculate the likely value a subscriber is going to provide over lifetime with discounted cashflows. Then you can ask for that money upfront. Do you think that will be a differentiator?

Getting into debt with highest interest rate in decades doesn't bode well for the future. On the other hand, VC funding seems to have dried up as well. Between rock and a hard place.

I am wondering if raising objections internally will be sufficient in this case. As a leading executive at Binance shouldn't he be expected to report any malicious activity to the authorities?

When one says "attention is all you need" the implication is that some believe that you need something more than just attention. What is that something which has been demonstrated as unneeded? Is it a theory of how language works?

Why are they low risk? There is a significantly higher chance of meta defaulting than us govt on a 40 year horizon.

Also wouldn't higher interest rates be beneficial for Meta (and worse for lenders) because Meta will be able to lock in the comparatively lower interest rates now for the next 40 years?

I heard (not verified) that every province of Canada trades more with USA than with any other province which I think is quite remarkable.

However, the "risky" investments that I have heard described thus far are mostly treasury securities

You assume that all risk is default risk. The risk that SVB took wasn't that the US govt will default on its bonds. It was that the treasuries will lose their value in case of interest rate changes.

SVB bought billions of dollars of US treasuries which lost their value in the last year due to rate hikes. This showed up as unrealized losses on their balance sheet which spooked their depositors and precipitated the collapse.

Coincidentally, I am in a class being conducted by John C. Hull right now as I type this comment.
