I don’t see how that relates to my comment

> people will get fed up and register an account, and github can brag about how many new users they brought in

This makes no sense. The number of people who use GitHub code search but don’t already have a GitHub account is surely negligible

Do people generally say React is “just JavaScript”? I’ve seen it said about Svelte, never React.

In any case, why market your framework with an equally poor comparison?

NueJS: “It’s just HTML!”

The HTML: <button @click=“count++”> {count} </button>

He’s not complaining about it missing the features he wants, he’s complaining about it missing features of the products it’s presenting itself as an alternative to

Peak HN is using an overly smart-sounding word like "orthogonal" instead of the clearly more appropriate "independent"

Sourcegraph[1] does this better and has done for a couple of years now. I use it for this reason all the time.

As far as consumer interest goes, the problem with Web3 is it sells the means rather than the end. Nobody cares if your Twitter/Substack/Spotify Web3 alternative is decentralised or you own your own data on the platform. To win it has to be immediately useful and/or better than alternatives.

Content generation AI is so obviously useful to the majority of people and it does not require an understanding of how it works in order to be impressed by it.

Chris Dixon has no business on this list. He is A16z's chief crypto shill on Twitter and blocks anyone who even remotely questions crypto/web3/blockchain.

To say he is more interested in decentralized technology than money is laughable given his complete inability to engage in any sort of healthy discussion about it. He is bad for the space.

The way PG talks about these companies on Twitter makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Mighty https://twitter.com/search?q=mighty%20(from%3Apaulg)&src=typ...

Mighty so obviously had no idea who its customer was. Can't afford good hardware to run CPU/GPU-intensive browser apps? Why not spend $420 a year on a browser. Is it for enterprise or consumer? Who knows. He spoke of it like a once in a generation company [1] and the fact they spent 3.5 years working a product that never even launched goes against what I thought his philosophy was.

Replit - https://twitter.com/search?q=replit%20(from%3Apaulg)&src=typ...

Replit I feel suffers from the same problem and, possibly not coincidentally, PG talks about it the same way. Is it an IDE? Hosting platform? Education platform? How have they not found PMF after raising $100M over 8 years [2]? I feel like every time I see someone talk about the company on Twitter it's about them launching some brand new feature in a new area. On that, I also only ever see the same few people on Twitter chatting about it and have never encountered Replit in the wild. It's almost always Codepen, Codesandbox, JS Fiddle or Stackblitz.

It makes me seriously question PG's opinions on individual companies as his bias is so clear and it makes him appear so naive.

Nobody uses email to discover new email addresses, outreach is direct. Discoverability is a massive part of social media platforms and is hindered by the isolated pod structure that Mastodon supports

> This made it difficult to work with separate hosts (www.my.app vs. api.my.app).

This is still possible with session cookies if you use wildcard origin cookies i.e. *.my.app

He was recently hired by Vercel to work on it full time so I wouldn't be too concerned about the future of Svelte

This sounds like a great idea. Do you have any system for tagging or sorting them? Other than date of course

Commenting for visibility, thanks for this

On your deployment page[0], it says you can deploy the entire thing to Vercel or Netlify and pass in the postgres connection string to the frontend directly. Am I understanding this correctly? Is the connection string for the database readable from the front end?

This is a good observation. It's also probably not coincidence that any "free speech" (i.e. zero content moderation) platforms inevitably end up full of racists/homophobes/xenophobes etc

That's exactly my point. How can something like 4chan still exist online? There have been multiple mass-shooters bred there. It also used to be known for extremely questionable adult content. Why do Trumps preferred platforms get taken down but not this?

Is the issue here that all republican/right-wing biased platforms and influencers encourage hate-speech? Or simply that the platforms with the ability to block access to these services have a liberal bias and it suits their agenda better?

I am not right-wing nor am I even American, but at this stage I'm of the opinion that these bans are coordinated attacks. Watching Trump get banned from every social platform within two or three days for inciting an insurrection offline left a bad taste in my mouth. A similar thing has just happened to Andrew Tate. It also happens all the time with right-wing subreddits.

Why are right-wing communities not allowed to flourish online like left-leaning ones?

> Working hours are relative

Sorry but for me this doesn't cut it when you have staff and availability zones in every continent on the planet. It isn't some mom and pop shop in one town. It shouldn't be much to ask a company of Google's size and breadth to consider your local timezone for urgent communications.

True as that may be, in a production app I don't think breadth of features trumps having paid support, SLA's, comprehensive documentation, resources, tutorials etc.

On top of that, funding like this gives a pretty optimistic outlook on the future of the project when compared to a fully community managed open-source project that could become abandonware.

My neo-bank (Revolut) has this feature. If someone sends me money for the first time, or isn't in my contacts, they have to explicitly accept it from their app before it actually lands in their account.

Ignoring that specific feature, if you did get money sent to your traditional bank account, you can always contact your bank and tell them you don't know what it is to avoid any trouble. This is not possible with Ethereum.

Agree. It's like Stockholm Syndrome. It comes across the same as when someone from the US tries to argue that putting the month before the day actually makes sense in dates because then the max values go from lowest to highest (12/31/9999+).

> Most people using TitTok already have a mental disorder called "narcissism".

Pretty broad statement to make about an app with 1B+ monthly active users. Are 7% of the world's population narcissistic?

It's pretty standard for component libraries and/or dashboard templates to cover all the bases for a SaaS dashboard

Is this your first time on HN? 90% of comments are people either pedantically picking apart the submissions or, if its a product, plugging their own alternative without commenting on the submission at all

What is the point of an objective definition if its subjectively determined by one person? Who is he to decide what is world-class and what isn't?

And for "bulletproof", I know what it means. It's, again, just another subjective term he throws around carelessly. Something bulletproof is something near indestructuble. Does he guarantee no injuries for life if you complete the course?

I've always found the way he talks about "world-class" and "bulletproof" knees to be pretty off-putting. These are nonsense terms with nothing but anecdata to back the claims

The whale has been inactive and almost certainly didn't vote on this proposal. The Solend team tried to reach out to them via socials multiple times and they never responded. You can see their attempts in the "What We've Tried" section here[1]

This needs a title change. The main effect this would have on the Solana network would be congestion due to so many liquidators trying to claim the collateral. It is not related to the price.

>Additionally, liquidators will be incentivized to spam the network in an effort to win very lucrative liquidations. This has been known to cause load issues for Solana in the past which would exacerbate the problems at hand.
