https://golfcourse.wiki/ is down / degraded FYI (frequent 500/503). What is the best way to contact you? I have a related project you might enjoy.

It's mostly bots causing the 502 errors by overwhelming a the server that I don't want to pay much money for. Every few day I'll get 20K bots from Singapore and China banging the site all day.

I'll eventually spend time fixing the issue, but it works fine if you just refresh the page. I really should a "you broke reddit, please refresh" page to the 500 error page.

If you need to contact me, just use this tally link: https://tally.so/r/7R2Bla

To be fair, Facebook was at the time viewed by many as crazily overvalued.

Yes, because as a company who's main features were Farmville and posting pics of your food, it was ridiculously overvalued.

But we all underestimated just how ruthless Zuck would be in turning Facebook into a machine for disseminating propaganda and invading our privacy. It has become more akin to Palantir than MySpace because that's where the money is.

Exactly, now that the internet is ubiquitous, none of the problems with replacing credit card companies like VISA are really technical. They are regulatory, they are political, they are social.

> one of the problems with replacing credit card companies like VISA are really technical

VISA and Mastercard never resolved major technical problems. It's nothing a bank wouldn't already be able to achieve internally from a technological complexity point of view. They didn't invent any of the technologies, they just navigated the political and regulatory hurdles, then leveraged their position for more.

Your comment makes it look like the problems are "just" political or regulatory. These are more often then not the bigger ones.

Surely the EU could pull off something similar to what India did with their instant payments program? That system seems to have garnered near-universal praise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Payments_Interface

And before Trump it wasn't worth the aggravation. It wasn't worth the pushback from the US government.

Trump sure has moved the needle on that! We used to pay protection money to the US via this. Now we don't get the protection, so we don't need to pay.

This line alone made me want to read the rest of the page, so good work! Hilarious and self-deprecating is how I took it.

It tickled me too - and TBH I got sidetracked by the misspelling when my browser pointed it out in the HN comment box :)

I'm sitting here wondering why you'd run anything not full-screened, save for some rare situation where you are comparing multiple windows line by line (and don't have a short term memory).

I don't often run things full-screen. I like windows, they give you virtual screen real-estate at the click of a mouse.

Example: Right now I have a project with a main application, a launch agent, and a framework. I can fit 3 columns of text with the font at a size I can easily read across one window in Xcode. I generally work for a period of time in one of the app/agent/framework areas, so I have 3 Xcode windows open on the same project, each having ~90% of the screen with a little overlap.

Sometimes I'll have another similar window, for out-of-context work. If I'm creating a class, and suddenly realise I want to re-factor some other class to make it work, I'll open another window (again with the 3 columns) for the re-factor work, leaving the state of where I was ready to come back to at the click of a mouse.

I personally find it easier to mouse-click to change context than any other way, so keeping the screen 'mostly' used works better for me.

The README is for your agent to read. Shrug.

The agent having incorrect documentation in its context is really bad!
