Ask HN: Any interest in learning how startups actually work?
I've been throwing around this idea of interviewing startups to learn how the actual systems and processes work behind the scenes. (ie, what do you use to handle billing and how does it tie into everything else? how about customer support?)

I put up the second interview today (http://www.resultsjunkies.com/blog/back-office-exposed-zippykid) and was hoping I could get some feedback from other HN readers.

Is this interesting? Any areas you want me to dive particularly deep on?

Bring Time Tracking Into Your Application

Show HN: I'm building an open-source Amazon
https://openship.org/
A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc.

The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly.

This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing marketplace.

In 2019, I started building the first piece, Openship, an order management system that lets you source orders and fulfill them from anywhere. Now that that’s in stable release, next up is Openfront (an e-commerce platform for storefronts) and Opensupport (ticketing software for customer support). Together, they provide the staples for any modern business: sales, fulfillment, support.

Let me know what you guys think of the idea and if you see any potential pitfalls.

The Emacs Problem 
http://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/the-emacs-problem
<<What would you rather do? Learn 16 different languages and frameworks in order to do "simple" log-file and configuration-file processing? Or just buckle down, learn Lisp, and have all of these problems go away forever?

It's a rhetorical question. The answer is patently obvious at this point: Lisp is evil, and you'd damned well better write all your code in C++ and XML and JavaScript and PL*SQL and CSS and XSLT and regular expressions and all those other God-fearing red-blooded manly patriotic all-American languages from now on. No more of this crazy Lisp talk, ya hear?>>

Why you should never be a startup girlfriend

How can I learn to program? 
I am in my early twenties and am seriously considering a career in entrepreneurship. I have a partner and we are in the midst of entering our business idea into numerous entrepreneurship contests. We have met with several business and tech professors and have been thoroughly encouraged to pursue this. The only problem? Neither of us know any code. One of our business coaches, a successful entrepreneur himself, suggested that the programming can be done with little problems -that there is still much utility in two idea boys. However, to be truly successful, it has occurred to me that we will need to know the ins and outs of programming. Perhaps we won't need to be experts, but a successful leader must be well versed in every aspect of his company. Does everyone agree? Can anyone make some recommendations about where I should get started learning code and the strategies to keep in mind while doing so? Help is much appreciated.

Show HN: Common Lisp running natively over WebAssembly for the first time
https://soi-disant.srht.site/entries/back-to-space.html
A month or so ago, I ported a Common Lisp implementation (npt) to WebAssembly to make a silly blog post, because I was bored and have a lot of time on my hands to waste with things like this (I don't have a job, and because I have next to no experience, these meaningless, silly projects tend to fill what time I do have).

This is significant as it's the first time Common Lisp in particular has ever been hosted on it; wasm has a few poor decisions in its design that make it less-than-conducive to being a target for Common Lisp, and a lot of the more interesting implementations require an implementation to already be on the platform for bootstrapping purposes.

My previous attempts using other implementations haven't gone so well, despite throwing a lot of time at it (as an example, I have a fork of Eclipse Common Lisp, a defunct implementation from the 1990s, sitting on my disk with a few hundred lines of changes that I finally got to successfully compile and run a handful of very basic expressions, but it blows up when you try and define anything). In comparison, I was pleasantly surprised by how little I had to do, even though I did end up scrapping loads of lines of my own changes to npt in the process as I got a handle on how to make it work acceptably.

The Emscripten toolchain and I don't get along, partially because I don't like inlining ECMAScript into my C and vice-versa, so it's little more than a neat little demo right now.

You can load slightly more complex programs into it by hijacking the "imp" ECMAScript function every few hundred milliseconds with strings containing complete forms (this is essentially a batch processor, so there's no interactivity that allows it to wait while you decide what the rest of a form should be). Only one at a time, though. It's not that fancy.

If you mess up at all, even just a little error, it will crash. This is by design; I disabled the debugger. It's a giant hack, and the hack I eventually decided on left it impossible to have a debugging experience, with the benefit of getting to use a closer-to-unmodified npt.

This could be more useful, if I spent more time on it, but it's more fun if it's just a demo. I hope you enjoy the toy I made for you.

If you don't know what forms are in the context of Common Lisp:

Forbes 400 Data Shows Paul Graham Is Wrong
Someone commented to Paul Graham last month (original thread: http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=1320439):

"pg, unfortunately for America, in recent years most of the highest paid people (to the tune of hundreds of millions per person) have been financiers. Even fairly successful outcomes in the start-up world, such as Mint.com to take a random example, don't make founders that rich.

I suspect if you look at the new inclusions in Forbes 400 list over the past 10 years, that list (of deltas) would be dominated by Finance. This is not a good thing."

pg replied:

"Instead of assuming this, why don't you check and tell us? It should be pretty easy; historical Forbes 400 data is available online."

I decided to go check and tell everyone, and Paul Graham is wrong about the Forbes 400 showing startups having a higher return than Wall Street. According to the Forbes 400 data, between 1999 and 2009:

- 211 new people entered the Forbes 400 list during this ten-year period.

- Of these, 59 were from finance.

- 17 were from technology.

I think the record speaks for itself.

You can see the raw data at http://www.forbes.com/lists/home.jhtml?passListId=54&passYear=1999&passListType=Person, http://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/54/rich-list-09_The-400-Richest-Americans_FinalWorth.html.

Show HN: I made an offline-ready hiking trail companion app
https://github.com/jamealg/KT-companion
Hi HN! This is a trail companion web app (think AllTrails) I hacked together in a couple weeks time. I was inspired to create this project while training for an extended backpacking trip. My motivation was to create a UI tailored exactly to my liking, and to be able to track my progress along the trail without draining my battery. I also wanted to experiment with PWA technologies.

I successfully used it on my five day adventure along the Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana, and even though it's web-based it hardly consumed any battery life on my old first-gen Pixel XL.

It's set up currently to support a single trail, where the trail and trail markers are deployed with the rest of the app. So it's single-use in that way. For future trips, I can simply swap out the GPX files and deploy.

I am releasing it with an open source license in case anyone wants to use it as a boilerplate to create their own.
