That had eight submissions before it finally got noticed and gained nearly 300 comments.

There are lots of other examples of that too, and looking at my logs, almost no one clicked through to read it, so I was wondering if it was just a matter of bad luck as to the time I posted it, or just that no one was interested based on the title.

So I thought I'd have a go at posting at three different times, and then look at the results. I've been around HN for a while now, posted lots of things that got significant upvotes and discussions, and I still don't understand why some items sink without trace several times and then suddenly catch fire and hit the front page and stay for ages.

Hence the experiment. But as I say, nice of you to notice - thank you.

Edit: Just to add - it's still the case that pretty much no one has clicked through. So either no one is attracted by the title, or people have read the comments first, seen your comment, and decided not to bother. Who can say.
Re HiDPI;

A recent episode of the podcast Late Night Linux has a discussion of one of the hosts' experiences with his 4k monitor and a number of Linux distros.

I think it starts at about 30 minutes in: https://latenightlinux.com/late-night-linux-episode-06/

AFAIR the best experience was with Unity 7 on Ubuntu. There is some discussion on why support on different desktops / distros is the way it is, and how automatic configuration might be improved, which might be of interest to HN readers.

The chap doing the testing is the main dev / founder behind Budgie / Solus.

Mexico can be super dangerous. But it is a beautiful country with so much to offer. If you go to the right places though it is very safe.
He didn't mess with the customer's garage door opener, so it's not like messing with a customer's burger. It's more like cutting the customer off from the unlimited coffee refills when they get 86'd from the restaurant.

(But the coffee cup is useless without coffee!)

However, linking the action to a bad Amazon review and publicizing the device ID both demonstrate very poor impulse control.
They also give brilliant support, speaking from experience.

I find that sentiment laughable, to be honest.

Would anyone blink an eye at a CEO earning that much or having that much in incentive pay over perhaps a number of years? Of course not. But the only reason to have such differing opinions is a classist attitude.

Indeed, look how bizarre a world we live in has come to be. Nobody today would think it too ridiculous for an actor or entertainment figure to be paid so much. And yet a single engineer could easily have a much larger impact on the day to day life of millions of people or on the development of technologies spawning multibillion dollar industries.
It's quite clear a lot of people in here are approaching this with a "B2B" mindset where clients and contracts can be fired and terminated.

This scenario is "B2C", "the customer is always right" may be a tired phrase but it rings truer than you might think.

A lot of people are saying this guy should be respectful of this small, indiegogo compnay. Problem is, they are ignoring the fact the product is being sold on Amazon, this may be the customers' only exposure to the company so they might not have any idea of how large the company/operation is! Customers have an expectation of quality on Amazon
Living in the Netherlands, I know that people with bad intentions most likely have guns.
Even in my small hometown, a citizen that owned a spy equipment store got shot up in daylight in front of his home.
Other example would be people getting robbed in their house with guns (not daily, but it happens).
There are plenty of other examples... I cannot say I feel 100% save most of the time.

It needs to be pointed out that the diode isn't converting over 100% of the electrical power into optical power. The extra optical power comes from Peltier heat drawn from the semiconductor lattice. The LEDs only had ">100% efficiency" when heated to 135°C. At 25°C the electrical efficiency was less than 1%.[1]

This is totally not at the same scale, but still applicable. Coming from am immigrant family, jumping from 20k a year to 150k @ the age of 20 felt to me like i had made it. I traded in my civic for a sports car, bought a house, all the whisky a young man could want etc etc. Did i feel content? At first. Happier? At first. Then the realisation that there will always be someone wealthier dawned apon me. Those people work longer, harder, have more pressure, responsibility and usually dont even have the time to enjoy their wealth. Managing wealth? You do stupid shit like getting into more debt to try and "save money from the tax man".

The more money u earn, the more money u spend, the more stress u have.

I quite my job 8 years later, sold everything and travelled the world for 2 years, trying lifestyles i never imagined. In the far reaches of the amazonian rainforst where i vonunteered to help study the pink dolphins, I saw the poorest people were actually the happiest people. They had "nothing", but everything at the same time. Everywhere i went this was true. All my ailments that followed me while i was in civialisation suddenly dissapeared. Did they suffer from depression? nup. Poverty? from the outside we assume this was a bad word, but at the ground level, nup. If u live in a place that provides u with everything u need natually, u dont need money.

That was just 1 experience of many. Everyday was saturday and i had a purpose - looking for the meaning of life. I found it everywhere i looked, and money was never part of the equation.

So now im back; i love coding. Im already living the dream. I dont choose work based on pay, i choose it based on my moral compass. What did i discover? Well i think the meaning of life is a little different for everybody, but at our core, its love, connections, and experiences. No matter how much money you have, you cant buy the above.

Sorry. Have rectified.
Shouldn't matter indiegogo or not, a product SHOULD work.
Calling a product a piece of shit is perfectly acceptable behavior, it often is a reasonable and accurate opinion about a product and definitely meets the standards of the "level of decorum" expected for customer product reviews.

Customers shouldn't be absolved of having a minimum level of decorum, but that minimum is at the level of (a) personal insults at specific people ("Bob in customer support is a piece of shit" wouldn't be ok but "your customer support system is a piece of shit" is fine) or (b) libel, as decided by the legal system.

For direct criticism of a product or service literally anything that I imagine would be above that minimum level of decorum. Insulting people is not ok, but insulting products definitely is.
And if Ryanair representative suddenly appeared here and banned you from ever flying with them because you talk shit about them on HN, you'd have been rightfully mad.

Compounding/causing this issue is people in general don't take expectation values into account - we always subconsciously overestimate the probability of a rare, positive event (winning the lottery) and underestimate the probability of a rare, negative event (dying in a car crash tomorrow).

The challenge that I'm sure you're aware of is the risk of being disintermediated by your product (consultants) and/or your customers (people needing consultants). I'm not convinced the situation is impossible, but the history of such marketplaces isn't a strong recommendation for building more of them. I totally agree with the thesis that the future is remote work, but personally I would focus on ways to improve the notable problems about remote work as opposed to matchmaking. There are many people trying to do matchmaking, and not nearly as many focused on improving the challenges once the match is made. I suspect that's at least partially because it is hard, but hopefully your current direction will give you an unfair advantage when it comes to finding solutions to this hard problem.

Anyway, first rate blog post and handling of a difficult situation!

> Scary-sounding headlines, sure. But there usually is actual evidence.

Actually, there usually isn't any evidence. Scary headlines sell, finding evidence is a hard work that most readers will not understand anyway. Guess what happens then.
If you don't want to open everything right away, put protocol specifications, keys and the like into escrow somehow, to be published when the service is discontinued (it can't be tied to the company or brand because there will always be some form of legal successor). Run a domain called $productname-support-beyond-the-grave.com or so where the escrowed data would appear and for the time being use it to explain what you are doing and why buyers should be wary of competitors without a similar commitment. Keeping a repository like that up to date costs a lot of money, the shameless self-praise is how you would make it agreeable with budgeting.

There should be a service for that, with people who can build experience over multiple client lifecycles and a recognizable brand, maybe even a 3/4/5 star commitment rating that would go down e.g. when there are indications that the repository is getting stale relative to the deployed service/firmware of the still living company.
Political, not commercial. All politicians lie or are "economical with the truth". If you want to get the courts involved in judging political statements, especially in a country that has already politicised the courts to a greater extent than many other Western countries, then you're on a hiding to nothing.

Rachel Andrew has added a very illuminating comments to the article which, I think, highlights why Flexbox can't do what Grid does:-

“Potentially Confusing: a “2D” Layout with Flexbox” – that isn’t a 2d layout. It’s a wrapped flex layout. As soon as you want to make that final box line up with the boxes in the first column you realise what you have isn’t two-dimensional.

Flex wrapping doesn’t make it two dimensional. Each row (in your example) is a flex container itself, space distribution happens across each row individually. Which is why it isn’t two-dimensional.

More here https://rachelandrew.co.uk/archives/2017/03/31/grid-is-all-a...

You can also space grid tracks out evenly and so on, box alignment is shared by both the flexbox and grid specifications. For examples of that see http://gridbyexample.com/video/align-grid/
This is incredible. I had written a comment on the original thread on why I had moved to fedora after 14 years of using Ubuntu and this post confirms that I made the right choice.

For some unkNown reason, Fedora is considered "bleeding edge" and unstable..While Ubuntu is considered mainstream. The truth is that fedora is probably the most polished Linux distribution out there right now..Including a brilliant UI experience.

The only doubt I had was whether fedora is taken seriously inside redhat...And this post pretty much takes care of that.

All of these places are in London. They have London postcodes, are inside the M25, and are administered by the Mayor of London.
he describes essentially the problems and pains of 'new rich'. 'old rich' approach is different - have managers (concierge) of their wealth, of their lives, so they don't bear the burden of caring and managing the wealth in any way, only enjoying spending it. maybe it's more european thing vs US, don't know.

that said, most wealthy people and their lives are quite pathetic. deep issues inside, some described very well in the article (you basically don't have true friends, or if you have you can't distinguish them). boring easy life without adventures and intensity.

kids often spoiled beyond belief since they had super easy life without proper challenges (which is the only way to build some good strong character). if not spoiled, many are at least entitled a__holes. generally most descendants don't have the skills of their predecessors who earned the wealth.

yes they can drive around in their ferraris (great car for urban traffic), drink champagne on their boats and attend luxurious parties all the time. I have not seen a single person get truly long-term happy from it, confirmed by some people who are closer to these types.

definitely would not change my life with any of those. mountains and occasional backpacking around the world is enough to keep one happy for whole life.
I came across this suggestion across the internet that "nobody is interested in your idea". Hence the curiosity!
Of course, because they are EU citizens. All EU citizens can travel freely. But immigrants need a visa since Cyprus is not in Schengen. This is the case with all non-Schengen EU countries, like, immigrants living in London need a visa to go to Paris, but a Romanian doesn't need visa to go to London. An immigrant in a Schengen country can travel to any other Schengen country plus new non-Schengen entrants: Cyprus, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia. For example, i am an immigrant in Lithuania (Schengen) and i travelled to Cyprus and Romania with no visa (i can't even technically apply for one), plus many Schengen states.
I can confirm, I'm definitely thinking twice before visiting my friends and coworkers in the US again, and I'm positively not going to book a flight that goes through the US when flying to another American country (eg Canada).

Reactide – IDE for React
no, actually, it is quite far from (especially) skin color. It's based on actions and behavior and not on some trait of the customer. I can't think of any country where you need to serve customers that misbehave.
To me, AI is more than just the behavior of the agent NPCs. Its also about the overall world environment and how the world and gameplay mechanics work. There is a lot of untapped potential in simulating world behavior. For example, the "director" in Left for Dead games increased or decreased the difficulty depending on how the players navigate and play through the map.

NixOS 17.03 Released
It's not so much the protocol since most of the devices are either z-wave or zigbee (BTLE is growing). All of those can operate without a network connection - it's just the companies that decided that the hub needs to store everything in the cloud. I believe the new smarthings hub can operate offline.

I've been slowly upgrading stuff in my house but steering clear of wifi only devices. They just don't work that well to begin with. Only exception being my nest thermostat - but that can even work offline, just with limited functionality.
Most people who are into doing criminal things actually have guns here in Europe. Our open borders allow people to drive a trunk full of guns from Turkish border directly to Berlin, and they regularly catch guys doing that.

Only the people who get attacked don't have any guns, and they get fucked up.

Here in Europe, it pretty hard, because companies considering remote work will rather do it with eastern or asian companies, not local people.

If you are on the same country, the expectation is that remote work is to be done occasionally, mostly between one to two days per week, if at all.

> funny situations like a rock shortage eventually triggering a massive war among all kingdoms, was fun.

I love emergent AI game situations like that! Even that feeling of seeing enemies in Doom fighting each other hasn't been surpassed by that much in modern games I feel. Spelunky had a few moments like that though.

> Watching kingdoms evolve, alliances form and break, funny situations like a rock shortage eventually triggering a massive war among all kingdoms, was fun. It might not be as fun for a passive observer, but as the author of the rules, the feedback loop of making changes and watching the emergent outcomes was pretty neat (kinda like programming, heh).

Sounds fun! Any more situations like that?

I tried another prototype where it was a text adventure in a single room containing NPCs where certain NPCs liked, loved or hated each other (which limited their actions), there was objects characters could obtain (like a gun to threaten people to do actions for you or money to bribe people), characters had attributes (like intimidating, gullible, jealous) and as the player you could ask characters to do things for you and they could do the same. It had the same issue of nonsensical things happening which were unintentionally funny. Huge state space explosion though.

So I gave a NPC the goal to make a sandwich from bread and cheese which two of his friends were holding. Instead of just asking his friends for the ingredients, he obtains a gun, threatens a NPC he hates to steal the ingredients from his friends then threatens him to make the sandwich and hand it over. A valid but inefficient solution in the search tree basically. You'd probably want some common sense logic that most characters want to achieve their goal in a way that doesn't impact their social standing. Same thing as before though, instead of making the NPCs normal humans you could come up with a story about why they don't act normal to sidestep the common sense issue.
That applies for free open source projects, but if you work in support, get paid for it and take the things personally, the job is not for you.

In many cases, customers arguably have a right to be angry, because your company delivered a shitty product. You happen to be the target of that, because where else are they going to direct it? It's the same with police. If you can't stay calm when people behave like asses, the job is not for you.

Staying calm and collected is part of your job description. Deal with it or look for another job.
