The man who won the right to discuss his National Security Letter (2011)
http://www.onthemedia.org/2013/jan/04/national-security-letters-and-gag-orders/
From January 2011, but well worth a re-listen today. This highlights one of the problems with government secrecy. National Security Letters come with a gag order that keeps the recipient from even discussing receipt of the letter with their lawyer.
Show HN: Chunk – Code sandbox for back-end devs
https://chunk.run
Chunk co-founder here. We spent the last 2 weeks building this to scratch our own itch:

As developers, we often have problems that could be solved just by running a few lines of code.
Sometimes, running this code on your local machine is fine.
But other time, the code need to run automatically reacting to external events or to run continuously, which means, it needs to run on a server somewhere.

So now, you have to find a cloud provider, to package or build the code and finally to deploy it. All of that for what could be literally be 4 lines of code.

We couldn’t find an easier way to do this, so we built it.

Chunk is an all in one web editor (think of the codesandbox experience) that allows you to write, deploy and run a piece of code in the cloud from a variety of triggers: HTTP, WebHook, manual or scheduled (cron).

No setup, no build, no deploy. Chunk makes you go from idea to code running in the cloud in seconds.

Let me know what you guys think!
I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard
https://electronicmaterialsoffice.com/
Hi HN,

During lockdown I took up the keyboard hobby but I couldn't find anything I liked the aesthetic of. So I set out to design my own keyboard from scratch that shunned the gamer look in favour of a more minimal, serious design.

I've built several prototypes but I would love to get some feedback from the HN community.
Mel's Hack – The Missing Bits
https://melsloop.com/docs/mels-hack-the-missing-bits
New article on Mel's Loop project – an analysis of Mel Kaye's hack for his blackjack game for the RPC-4000 computer.

"This approach to coding is far from extinct. One often finds it in software teams, among some highly regarded – though less valued – members. If you've spent several years in the industry or in Computer Science academia, you surely know this subspecies: the developer that replaces a straightforward loop with a series of auto-resolving promises, capped by a cryptic reducer, then revels in their teammates' bewilderment at the sight of the new code. Hardly the personality that you'd select for a coding legend."
(ibid)
If average salaries are 80-100k why does everyone keep getting 40-60k offers?
Are people's salaries really as high the numbers people are throwing around here? Around 80-100k for an average salary? My experience has been quite different. Is this just in big tech centers like SF, Seattle and NYC? Mainly consultant salaries? The people I know graduating with masters degrees from regional universities are getting 60k offers with undergrads getting 40-50k offers.

A little background for myself:

I've had a couple jobs. First was a student sys admin at U of MN computer science dept at about $10/hour (I think). Then in the Army where I made around $30k by the time I got out.

My next job in the industry was a relatively small company in the Portland area and there I made about $47k when I left and all new grads/entry level people were being offered $40k, no exceptions. The people there that had 5-10 years of experience were only making in the $65k range. And the senior developer/general manager was only making about $100k.

When I was offered the job I asked for $55k which I thought was really pushing it for only having some experience developing stuff in the army and in my classes.

So, what gives? What's with the Buick sized disconnect between my experiences and what I hear being discussed here on HN? Is there really a 40k difference in salaries just based on location?

All in all I consider myself a very good programmer (Honestly I'd guess in the top 80% of programmers, I haven't met one that's better than myself, but I don't consider myself nearly as experienced as a lot of the people here) that's passionate about coding and I've been doing it since I was in middle school, so I really want to be able to value myself accurately, but something just feels off about it. Looking at everything going on I'm thinking of leaving grad school if I can get offers like this?

Am I just marketing myself wrong? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Show HN: HackerNew for Chrome
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lgoghlndihpmbbgmbpjohilcphbfhddd
I've been working on and off on a Chrome Extension for Hacker News, the extension focusses on improved usability rather than design. I can almost guarantee that after a day you won't want to go back to regular Hacker News. Give it a try, features include:

- Improved readability
- Quick inline replies from comments page
- Quick profiles with social network info when hovering over usernames
- Filtering of stories based on terms and phrases / domain or user
- Endless scrolling
- Collapsible comment threads
- Social sharing for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Buffer

Forks, improvements and comments welcome:

Ask HN: how to become a morning person?
I feel like my body just can't accept a static bedtime on a 24 hour cycle. I remember many a summer where I would operate on something closer to a 27 hour day which is pretty awesome but messed up in terms of integrating with the rest of society, which I assume most of us need/want to do. Also, I've never been a morning person - the closest thing I've had to a regular sleep schedule is like 3:30am to around noon.

Anyone else experience similar issues and shift their schedules accordingly? What helped out, and what kept it sustainable long term?
Show HN: InvokeAI, an open source Stable Diffusion toolkit and WebUI
https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI
Hey everyone!

Excited to be able to share the release of `InvokeAI 2.0 - A Stable Diffusion Toolkit`, an open source project that aims to provide both enthusiasts and professionals a suite of robust image creation tools. Optimized for efficiency, InvokeAI needs only ~3.5GB of VRAM to generate a 512x768 image (and less for smaller images), and is compatible with Windows/Linux/Mac (M1 & M2).

InvokeAI was one of the earliest forks off of the core CompVis repo (formerly lstein/stable-diffusion), and recently evolved into a full-fledged community driven and open source stable diffusion toolkit titled InvokeAI. The new version of the tool introduces an entirely new WebUI Front-end with a Desktop mode, and an optimized back-end server that can be interacted with via CLI or extended with your own fork.

This version of the app improves in-app workflows leveraging GFPGAN and Codeformer for face restoration, and RealESRGAN upscaling - Additionally, the CLI also supports a large variety of features:
- Inpainting
- Outpainting
- Prompt Unconditioning
- Textual Inversion
- Improved Quality for Hi-Resolution Images (Embiggen, Hi-res Fixes, etc.)
- And more...

Future updates planned included UI driven outpainting/inpainting, robust Cross Attention support, and an advanced node workflow for automating and sharing your workflows with the community.

We're excited by the release, and about the future of democratizing the ability to create. Check out the repo (https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI) to get started, and join us on Discord (https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy)!
