Apple Pay works in non-Safari browsers in iOS 16 Beta 3
27 by san_amiro | 6 comments on Hacker News. I was just poking around on a Shopify store on my Firefox browser and saw Apple Pay button showed up, first thought it's a front-end bug on the website but tapped on it and the widget slid up and you can legibly make the purchase! Tried on Chrome too and it worked there too! Tried a few other website and can confirm it works everywhere Apple Pay is offered. is it a feature? bug? Wanna try it yourself? you can check this Stripe test page https://ift.tt/kxl8LJV Haven't installed Beta 4 yet to see if it is still working.
Show HN: Chunk – Code sandbox for back-end devs
6 by theochampion | 0 comments on Hacker News. Chunk co-founder here. We spent the last 2 weeks building this to scratch our own itch: As developers, we often have problems that could be solved just by running a few lines of code. Sometimes, running this code on your local machine is fine. But other time, the code need to run automatically reacting to external events or to run continuously, which means, it needs to run on a server somewhere. So now, you have to find a cloud provider, to package or build the code and finally to deploy it. All of that for what could be literally be 4 lines of code. We couldn’t find an easier way to do this, so we built it. Chunk is an all in one web editor (think of the codesandbox experience) that allows you to write, deploy and run a piece of code in the cloud from a variety of triggers: HTTP, WebHook, manual or scheduled (cron). No setup, no build, no deploy. Chunk makes you go from idea to code running in the cloud in seconds. Let me know what you guys think!
Show HN: Peerdiem — Discover and discuss one painting a day
20 by afkqs | 8 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone, I made Peerdiem (a portmanteau word between Peer and Per Diem, which means Per Day in latin). The idea is very simple, a new painting or artwork to discover and discuss with your peers every day. Content is currently only fetched from Chicago Art Institute Free API [1] but I'm planning to add more sources in the short future. It was built with a couple of technologies I wanted to try for some time. Frontend is made with Preact and styled with Tailwindcss. Backend consists of an FastAPI app deployed in a Docker container.

Ask HN: What can you realistically manufacture in your garage?
26 by abdullahkhalids | 32 comments on Hacker News. Given a two-car garage, what can a small team (2-3 people) manufacture that can be sold for some amount of profit? Imagine access to capital of 20-50k USD at maximum. Interesting would be items whose manufacture could be automatized to some extent, but this is not necessary. I am not particularly interested in the legality of this at the moment. But safety considerations could be important.
Tell HN: I have the perfect job, why is it not enough?
158 by perfectjob | 109 comments on Hacker News. I am in my mid-thirties, working four days a week, and making over 100k. I have a house, a good relationship with my wife, and young and healthy kids. I work from home. My job is technically interesting, and I still learn/improve. I do not have meetings. One or sometimes two 30 min calls a week with my boss. Most days, I do not have to interact with anyone from work, not even customer contact. If I knew I could have a job like this ten years ago, I would have thought that's it, the dream. But somehow, it isn't. It's never enough. I dream about doing my own thing or retiring early to do other projects. It is probably human to always want more. So HN, how did you settle and slow down and become happy with the way it is without always wanting more?
Show HN: C3 – A C alternative that looks like C
24 by lerno | 10 comments on Hacker News. Compiler link: https://ift.tt/2EwynKz Docs: http://www.c3-lang.org This is my follow-up "Show HN" from roughly a year ago ( https://ift.tt/DSybhpq ). Since then the language design has evolved and the compiler has gotten much more solid. Assorted extra info: - The C3 name is a homage to the C2 language project ( http://c2lang.org ) which it was originally inspired by. - Although C3 mostly conforms to C syntax, the most obvious change is requiring `fn` in front of the functions. This is to simplify searching for definitions in editors. - There is a comparison with some other languages here: https://ift.tt/DjU6Y20 - The parts in C3 which breaks C semantics or syntax: https://ift.tt/0xCJsPO - Aside from the very C-like syntax, one the biggest difference between C3 and other "C competitors" is that C3 prioritizes C ABI compatibility, so that all C3 special types (such as slices and optionals) can be used from C without any effort. C and C3 can coexist nicely in a code base. - Currently the standard library is not even alpha quality, it's actively being built, but there is a `libc` module which allows accessing all of libc. Raylib is available to use from C3 with MacOS and Windows, see: https://ift.tt/wXNVJCv - There is a blog with assorted articles I've written during the development: https://ift.tt/sZXzQqK
Show HN: Graphsignal – ML profiler to speed up training and inference
7 by dmitrim | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hi, Graphsignal founder here. We've launched Graphsignal earlier this year to make machine learning profiling practical and easy to use. Basically, it enables the profile-optimize-benchmark loop. For example, making inference faster by optimizing an ML model, while still maintaining accuracy. We've make a lot of progress that I wanted to share. The profiler now natively supports TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, PyTorch Lightning, Hugging Face, XGBoost and JAX frameworks along with built-in support for distributed workloads. Profiles now include tracing information in chrome trace format. Process and GPU utilization data has been extended as well. It is now possible to monitor all run metrics. Useful for long runs. Profiled workloads are now sharable across teams and publicly (if enabled). I'm excited to show it here and appreciate any thoughts, comments and feedback!
