They mentioned paper trading which means it isn't using actual money.

It is still like this in most neighborhoods in the US, but it does require being outside and actually talking to them... which does seem rarer today.

Yeah, it is such an amazing program that was just executed in the right way. She didn't see it hit the billion books like she wanted to in her lifetime, but I'm sure they will get there. I would love to know other examples of philanthropy like that are similar in impact?

True, but the gas blend requirement is state wide which I think was the point being made.

I think it was actually just a straight mobile clone as I see "WigglyPaint" in the screenshots and the original Android app was called WigglyPaint as well based on the url (/apps/details?id=io.wigglypaint.android). Probably got more popular than they were expecting and decided to pivot a bit.

Congrats on the launch! I love ideas like this, but curious how this is different than https://bearblog.dev which has been around for a while?

I can't believe they talked to Elon for almost 3 hours and didn't ask about the GPU heat exchange issue with data centers in space.

What was the "additional effort" you've had to do before?

Happy 50th birthday!

Yeah, I think it would be great if this project made it clear how this compares with Crystal in terms of the syntax.

That is great to hear, thanks for being a subscriber!

Yeah, just sponsors. I hope to use it as an outlet for other projects in the near future.

Still doing https://hackernewsletter.com/ after 15 years thanks to many of you.

Most humans would be hard pressed to get a gold medal in this one.

The one piece of good news is the highest point in Florida is just 345 feet above sea level so I think they'll be okay. :)

Another option is https://roda.jeremyevans.net/, which I've found is the sweet spot in smaller projects, but can still scale up. The plugin system works really well to extend and the routing tree is really easy to work with.

Why is Glitch and Pocket both shutting down the same day and announcing today?

Thanks for the HNL mention and nice job with The Gaming Pub!

Very rare in the PNW (or at least Washington) and Alaska. Thankful for that as the chances of a fire starting from them seems high. Last summer we only had one lighting "storm" which had a total two lighting strikes and one of them started a fire.

100% agree! We had moved to a smaller community in New England and was eating an early dinner when we got a single knock on the door. Before we could get up, the UPS driver opened our door to place the packages inside (and out of the snow). He waved and welcomed us and then off we went. It was a bit odd, but then we realized this was a special place that we would come to love and we did.

Looking at this the other day and found this helpful: https://www.pgpf.org/article/the-federal-government-has-borr...

I worked with a Canadian about 10 years ago that broke his arm while visiting family in Winnipeg during Christmas. He waited 2 or maybe 3 full days to have it set and get a cast with no luck in seeing a doctor and finally drove across the border to have it done in the US. He was 60 or so and when he didn't even seem upset at that happening! That really opened my eyes on "free" healthcare.
