If humanoid robots can perform ok on a broader set of tasks then they could reach economies of scale that a robot arm might not.

What about just “Ask HN: What are you tinkering with?” You can tinker with an idea in your head as well so that works.

Lucanet seems like the kind of financial software behemoth Causal was supposed to challenge. I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

Blazor provides a number of render models or modes. You can now create SSR websites with streaming.

The .Net team has made pretty significant strides in minimizing the bundle size and I would expect that to continue. It’s now also possible to combine pre-rendering and streaming with web assembly to improve the loading experience.

We evaluated a few options and settled on Blazor after tiring of the build chain and dependency complexity of the TypeScript world. So far, it’s been nothing but a breath of fresh air to work with.
It’s also important to clarify which model you’re working with when discussing Blazor. A lot of complaints seem to stem from using the Blazor server websocket model outside of its specific use cases.
The web assembly and prerendered models are more comparable to other modern developments in other ecosystems.

Ask HN: Projections as an Alternative to HTTP APIs
I work at a large FinTech in a team responsible for a federated GraphQL service and, recently, related datasets in Redshift. We've come to see our datasets as another kind of API representing the same underlying data from our GraphQL API.Our service is event sourced and follows CQRS and so our Redshift dataset is just another projection. This got me thinking, can other services simply use this...

I live in Berlin where many people live in low-rise apartments with no elevators and keep their bikes downstairs. I believe this is quite common for many cities in Europe. What I don't understand is how people are charging their bikes. Are they really lugging this thing up multiple flights of stairs and charging it in their apartments every few days? I've heard it's pretty heavy. Or, does it not need to be charged very often?

I have not tried it but I have seen it done. Some VCs like to have in-house technical expertise to better assess candidate companies. I'm not sure if it would be a clean transition but there definitely seems to be a pathway for it.

Re:It took 12 weeks to ship an MVP I thought would take 3

Similar but I’ll ask for a range which has a built in confidence level. A lot of developers are very reluctant to give estimates for various reasons but if the reason is that they don’t know where to start, I’ll do a thought experiment with them.
I ask first will the task take 20 years to finish and they usually laugh and say of course not. Then I ask what about 20 seconds and they laugh again. We keep going on both sides of the boundary until they stop laughing and it starts sounding more reasonable.
Then I have something to work with like 3 to 6 months which gives me more options. I can accept the risk or I can take other steps to reduce it or break it into more manageable bites. It’s not perfect but it’s worked pretty well.

Thanks for explaining in more detail. This is not my area of expertise at all. Would it not be possible to draw strong conclusions about “men’s” behavior broadly in the same way we do for male Chimpanzees for example?
