I don't understand why people are downvoting your comment. This title is absolutely a violation of HN guidelines. And a very blatant one no less!

Do people not read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html anymore?

I don't see it. Maybe I need more points to see the flag link?

How do these low effort posts get upvoted to the top of the HN? is there no way to flag this post?

Can you or someone else familiar with Unison tell us what specific things about Unison feel ahead of its time? I don't know Unison so these things will be a good motivation for me to learn Unison.

For me the biggest limitation is replicating the SQLite across machines. If my app is running on multiple nodes, then we need to write/use some tooling to replicate the database file across nodes. With that comes the problem of figuring out how we want to handle error scenarios like failed replication, partial replication and such other things.

And these are all hairy problems. At that point it might be just simpler to use a centralized Postgres or a proper distributed database.

Are you guys able to read this post? When I visit the OP post, I see only this text:

"Under construction "

Looks like the OP removed the post?

> You post this as if everyone is supposed to know who Karpathy is or what any of that means...

Firstly, this is HN! If every commenter mentioning Karpathy has to prefix their comment with an intro about Karpathy and LLM, then HN will become a boring read.

Secondly, if you don't know who Karpathy is and what any of this means, it is not all that difficult to search for "Karpathy" and "LLM" in your favorite search engine.

> there's no reason your HTML files have to be named with .html at the end of the filename

How do you know that? Do you know how I use my computer? I need to browse the HTML files lying on my disk with my browser? My OS and browser does not open files that are not named .html on the disk as HTML pages on the browser. So I need them to be .html so that I can browse my pages on my laptop.

You mean like /now/index.html. Yeah, that could work! Thanks!

But "/now.html" feels "cleaner" to me. I know others might disagree.

If this now thing could support just "/now.html" or even "/now" redirecting to "/now.html", that would be swell! Maybe they already do support it? Hoping to learn from the community if these alternative paths are supported.

Does it have to /now exactly? Can it be /now.html?

I don't have any fancy tools or frameworks to create extension-less URLs. I just dump my HTMLs into a folder. So can /now.html work for this?

Edit: Wow! Why downvote me for an honest question? What's so revolting about this question that you feel the need to downvote this?

> I understand if you are manager/owner you might be running comms via email. But internally all of that went to slack for good reason - lack of history is a feature, not a bug.

I am neither manager nor owner. Just another 1x engineer. 75% of my comms run over email. 25% over Jabber.

Not every software company uses Slack!
