I sort-of feel like maybe Pebble isn't for you, it had always been the smartwatch in a world of fitness trackers.
I'm almost the opposite for your, Notifications, then watch functionality, and card payments are primary for me. For me, fitness, and health tracking are barely secondary.
Which, IMO, is what I've always loved about Pebble, it was a smartwatch first.
Yeah, if you're development process requires LTO you may be holding it wrong....
Specifically, if LTO is so important that you need to be using it during development, you likely have a very exceptional case, or you have some big architectural issues that are causing much larger performance regressions then they should be.
Being able to choose a middle ground between development/debug builds and production builds is becoming increasingly important. This is especially true when developing in the browser, when often something appears to be slow in development mode but is fine in production mode.
WebAssembly and lightweight MicroVMs are enabling FaaS with real time code generation but the build toolchain makes it less appealing, when you don't want it to take half a minute to build or to be slow.

I spent a few months doing performance optimisation work. We wanted to see how much performance we could wring out of an algorithm & associated data structures. Each day I’d try and brainstorm new optimisations, implement them, and then A/B test the change to see how it actually affected performance. To get reliable tests, all benchmarks were run in release mode (with all optimisations - including LTO - turned on).
I see a lot of love for the Bic Cristal, Personally, I love the Muji Gel Ink 0.38, I'm an infrequent writer, so take it with a huge grain of salt, but I find it a really pleasant pen, and cheap enough that I can have them wherever I need them.
For sure! I mean, my Google pixel has "Now Playing" which is able to passively listen to the microphone for songs it knows, and displays them on the oled lock screen.
So, we already know that it is
A. completely feasible for a smartphone to do this.
B. At least a subset of smartphones have always-on microphones.
Maybe not a remote control... But why would you put it in a remote anyways when everyone has a phone?
I'm not sure I believe strongly either way, but after a few drinks I often convince myself it has to be happening due to the prior proof that it's possible, and the fact that if I were at the right place in one of theses companies, I'd do it just to prove that I can, and do it in a way such that the least amount of people internally would know about it.
But that may just be the conspiracy theorist in me.
One problem I see with your rewrite, is it's written in a style such that it appears to be a responsibility of a party of the contract, but failes to specify which party. Where the original reads as a statement of state and fact.
I mean, the problem is the website is designed as if it's trying to hide something from me. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I don't think that's the case, but my, and I think many other's tuned "Something scammy on the internet is going on" alarm bells are going off. So I think that's why the criticism is so harsh.
And generally Show HN's posts are taken as a request for constructive criticism, which I think most are.
Specifically, those two tubes that fade into the darkness is just begging for an explanation.
I think I did make a mistake in not having the product in more real life environments. My kitchen is not very pretty so I set up a little photo area to capture all the images and video. Now I will find some kitchens to borrow.
I would love to see the machine in a messy kitchen, where it is used to actually make coffee. Because to be honest, looking at the picture, it looks more like a decorative object than a functional coffee machine. Seeing it in its natural environment shows that it is the machine you use to make your own coffee (you do, right?), give some practicality.
To be fair, no one does that, it is not how marketing works, I guess. But here, it is not a regular espresso machine where we can immediately see how it works because we have already seen dozens of them, so a more practical shot saying "it is doesn't just look good on the countertop, it has a function, and that function is to make coffee".
But just from a practical consumer perspective. I want to know more about what the tube and power cable connect to. Since this is designed to be a new novel "compact" espresso machine, I would have higher standards in that regard compared to more conventional machines.
You obviously invested a lot in this product. I think that maybe renting a high end kitchen and bringing a professional photographer would go a long way!
You might need to give something away to make it happen, but an oddball request to an owner selling their nice home would probably work out, even if it took a few tries to find the right fit.
Most VFX productions take over 2 CPU hours a frame for final video, and have for a very long time. It takes shorter then a month since this gets parallelized on large render farms.
