Keep an eye on Neptune. I used Swiftfin, switched to Infuse, and am now using Neptune daily. It's coming along really nicely.

Technically, "the top house of the bottom 1/3rd is at least $1m"

The title of the article is not helpful.

Even "In 242 cities[1], 2/3 of homes are more than $1M" is better.

[1]where "city" is ambiguous

Firefox might need my support, but Mozilla does not.

Vivaldi (not affiliated) kinda aims to do this. At least they build the blocker in. It uses the Blink engine, too. I don't think this move by Google will adversely affect Vivaldi in the same way it does Chrome.

I converted my web app to a SwiftUI macOS app https://hnr.app

It has less features (no OG media or title/story analysis via Bedrock) but it focuses more on the features I like/need from an HN client

I just want to note how fast this page is.

806kB transferred. 766ms to finished. I hit the DFW AWS CloudFront pop from here.

Similar page for BK https://www.burgerking.co.jp/menu

31MB transferred. 6.5s to finished. Hits the DEN pop (but it's a "miss").

I am in Colorado. uBlock is on.

Even if you don't count the 7.5MB of fonts on the BK page, that's wild.

Sorry, I'm not sure how this relates to the content of the article. Sounds like an interesting experience, but this is an analysis of the Python ecosystem pre+post ChatGPT.

ratio of upvotes to comments is oddly high...

Directly to CDN. Put it in a CloudFront distribution and it would be a fraction of a fraction of that Vercel bill.

Remember kids, they're incentivized to get you to build something to burn as much compute as possible.

I'd try and figure out how to make a living converting older, everyday cars/trucks to EVs. Restomod I guess; but not just classic sports cars and big trucks (though I love those too). I think a 1989 Mazda Protege deserves a new life as an affordable commuter car. Tape deck and all.

Agreed. I'm working on a small GUI that just appends to a local .ndjson file. A user just posts with a text box into a feed. Like a one person chat or tweeting into the void. And a local LLM picks apart metadata, storing just enough to index where answers to future questions will be. Then you can use slash commands to get at the analysis like "/tasks last month" or "/summarize work today" etc.

But the cloud is not too expensive - you're paying for stuff you don't need. That's an entirely different kind of error.

Agreed. These sort of takedowns usually point to a gap in the author's experience. Which is totally fine! Missing knowledge is an opportunity. But it's not a good look when the opportunity is used for ragebait, hustlr.

as a consumer I could care less if you put your soul and years into producing art vs the one I can get a lot of today

a quantity over quality argument with regard to art is wild.

I'm surprised Cook was there. I'm sad that I'm surprised Cook was there.

I can likely get away from macOS by EOY. But this phone has a stranglehold on my mobile, digital life.

I get your point but my Apple devices (Macs, iPhone, even my Vision Pro thing) aren't exactly "calm" either. The app stores are constantly trying to rope me into gacha games or promote some subscription wellness platform. Apple News subscription is floating click-bait Hollywood articles no matter how much I tap the thumbs down. Maps clutters my commute with suggested places and guides. Don't get me started on Podcasts and Music showing me topics and genres it's bizarrely certain I want to listen to.

You could probably consider a broader interpretation of ActivityPub for something like this; or the underlying ActivityStreams format.

It was conceived for social networking, but social networking doesn't have to be just 140 characters in a timeline.

They're also the past...

Including the military. Hell, even the constitution.

I mean that's generally the curve of performance across those devices where "fast", "decent", and "slow" are relative.

Agreed. Charm has a solid track record of great TUIs. While I appreciate a good DSL, I don't think React for a TUI (via ink) is working out well.

I wonder if it correlates to the rollout of T-Mobile satellite services. They just exited their trial phase, so a global config update might make sense.

I don't mind XML but the release is 4.23 MB. Minified. There are 90 dependencies (931 fully resolved).

Also, the Docs link to home.xmlui.com and don't resolve

My Notion install (macOS) asked to discover devices on my network. I'm assuming this permission is related to "monitoring network traffic".

I just want to point out that the .app is only 14MB. This is the way. Nice work, OP

fwiw this won't work in macOS 15.6

So, like my Vans?

Very cool. I have something similar that's more of a running timeline than a view of the front page. I need to work on the controls so you can better specify thresholds.

A second angle from the same team?

Or reference the 2+ decades written about the same pattern in simpler, faster, less complex implementations.

SSE is great. Most things with websockets would be fine with SSE.

Also I don't see it being much easier here than a few primitives and learning about generator functions if you haven't had experience with them. I appreciate the helper, but the API is pretty reasonable as-is IMO

Is there a global provider for "cloud functions" (like Lambda) that isn't based in the US or CN?
