What a pedantic point to make.

not like that. i do not care about math in that post.

"good" language leads to "good" and logical thinking in every area of human endeavor.

so it can also be true that "bad" language leads to "bad" thinking. you are making mistakes, making bad conclusions, which can be avoided just by using "proper" language. why make life harder.

that applies for "everything" from "marketing vs scam", to even philosophy itself,

edit: we live in complex world, stacking complexities on top of complexities, so being "20% wrong" in one layer of complexities, can lead to totally opposite result in another layer.

It's not pedantic, it's true, and it actually is deeply important because misunderstanding this can lead to very different beliefs about the world, science, and technology.

This is so weird, even ripgrep's author is actively seeking conflict in ugrep's new release posts. Not a good colour on both of them.

Any examples? All I see in the recent release post is:

> ugrep is easily one of the if not most featureful grep programs in existence. And it is also fast.

which is burntsushi, ripgrep's author, defending ugrep from someone saying they only focus on performance at the cost of features.

At least how I read it the linked post was ugrep's author seeking conflict, not the ripgrep's.

How is it "seeking conflict" to correct factually wrong claims about your project?

I've been using Source Code Pro for as long as I can remember now, and playing the game with hidden names yielded... Source Code Pro!

I guess familiarity ultimately determines much of our font preference

Hi there ! Machato dev here.

Honestly, this is my first macOS app and I'm a bit out of ideas when it comes to performance. If anyone has tehcnical knowledge about SwiftUI and how I could improve performance, please do contact me ! (contact@machato.app)

My experience has been that the SwiftUI Profiler shows that almost all processor time is spent deep inside SwiftUI/AppKit primitives, despite there being close to no updates to view properties.

I'm glad HN is enjoying the app despite those issues. I promise I'm doing my best !

Yeah, Machato is great and the rate that you update it with new features is impressive. Keep up the good work! Hopefully some Mac app dev can chime in on what may be causing the performance issues. :)

According to the docs [1], the halving thing is a work in progress with a syntax like:

>> servings: 2|4|8

Add @milk{1/2*%cup} and mix until smooth. -- Multiply by serving size

Add @milk{1|2|3%cup} and mix until smooth. -- Specific quantity per serving size

I'm curious as to why this appears in your ToS, as this is quite a deterrent for many.

This shouldn't be too hard to implement ! Stay tuned for future updates

I'll add some warning on the sales page, sorry about that. Ask for a refund (email me through gumroad), I'll approve it.

Thank you, appreciate the quick response, and the refund :-)

I've used the API extensively over the last few weeks, and I have yet to go above $1. It's still technically more than the free ChatGPT web interface, but doesn't suffer from load balancing constraints.

My experience has been that using it this way is fairly inexpensive. You can track your expenses in real time and put spending limits on OpenAI's dashboard, so you don't get a bad surprise at the end of the month.

Thanks for your support. I have purchased your software. I think, I will like using this. Thank you.

Through the app, none. The app uses your OpenAI API key and your Gumroad license key to verify access to both of those services. License management is handled via Gumroad, their privacy policy might enlighten you further. My impression is they only require an email and some billing info (Paypal or Credit card)

I can confirm this to be true (at present).

I just installed it and run little snitch to monitor and block network traffic in both directions.

It didn't try to connect out to the internet at all until I started a new conversation thread, when it did it made two calls:

  1. Gumroad license server
  2. api.openai.com

There has not been any analytics / tracking calls such as Sentry/NewRelic/Google etc.... thus far (and I'd block them if there was).

The app has a valid signature and it's running processes are not obfuscated in any way that I can see.

Fantastic — bought a license!

Love how simple it is; exactly what I was hoping.

Do one for iOS, too! ;)
