I personally find the Hacker News Extension Suite [1] to be incredibly useful.

Stripe doesn't owe anyone the right to use their services. Just as an airline can bar anyone for most any reason (unless that reason is membership in a protected class[0]), Stripe can do the same.

What tech stack did you end up using for the backend?

In the absence of US leadership in the region it was only a matter of time before some other treaty came into being.

The link to [1] is an interesting take that questions the future of Asia as bipolar (China vs US)

Found this interesting:

> A paper from the Peterson Institute for International Economics by Peter Petri and Michael Plummer cites modelling showing that it will raise global GDP in 2030 by an annual $186bn (compared with a gain of $147bn from the CPTPP).

Indeed the fact that China's econ is shifting away from manufacturing is not well known [1]

> although [the new technique] produced better results for NLP benchmarks, GPT-3 appeared more flexible.

It only works in incognito for me.

Is this stable to use as a daily driver?

The Chinese Room (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room) would agree it's the same

I remember working on a simple peer-peer chat using WebRTC [1] and it took me a long time to actually grok what the whole protocol was and how it worked, even with off-the-shelf libraries available. This would have saved me so much time!

Take with a grain of salt, JVM tuning is an entire art and science, probably same with CLR.

yep, the citations don't lead anywhere

Yep can confirm none of the citations check out

A large chunk of the arguments tend to assume Proof of Work as the consensus mechanism which isn't a flaw inherent in blockchain (eg. could have Proof of Stake, etc.)

Would add HTTPS Everywhere https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere and NoScript https://noscript.net/ to that list

The waste of electricity/mining gear is mostly due to Proof of Work consensus, but moving to Proof of Stake/other consensus algorithms will eliminate basically all waste (eg. Ethereum is moving to PoS).

Yep, Blake3 can do around 6-7GB/s https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3

I do some frontend web dev and all my tech notes from >2 years ago is heavily outdated.

The primary disadvantage of handwriting notes for me is a total lack of search functionality.

This looks awesome! I love the tech stack as well, huge fan of TypeScript/React/Next.js

Yes, this feels very much like a weekend hackathon project rather than a finished product, even for its intended use case.

This seems pretty useful! Will try out for my next side project.

I find it a bit ironic that the name of this is Barrier when the purpose is to eliminate barriers, but joke aside, this looks very useful!

How'd you get the nice screenshots of the terminal in the README?

Test prep has a small impact ONLY WHEN ALL OTHER BACKGROUND FACTORS ARE CONTROLLED. Many studies have found that without these controls on things like parental income, school district, etc., test prep has a large impact due to the vastly improved test prep of students who can afford high quality coaching/spend lots of time preparing.

It may not, but the effective supply will increase due to remote work's acceptance
