This sounds straight out of 2005's blogosphere. Color me surprised if that field wasn't picked up clean long ago.
Yeah for projects like this the Kickstarter is really just used for "pre-sales" and marketing.
Seems that links page is not in the rss feed.
It only searches pages referenced in the rss feed. https://www.webtigerteam.com/johan/rss_en.xml

Which is fairly common with a blog...stories in rss, pages are not. Might be good to point out that caveat so that users can choose to add those pages to the rss feed.
If I drop Facebook, where will I get my vaporwave fix?
I develop Alexa skills and I agree with the article. Another point that is missing is that the technology hasn't "closed the loop". We have great ASR and NLU available, but responses still need to be built by hand or templated. This is the major reason bots feel so unnatural. I think there's a lot of opportunity for robust Natural Language Generation solutions to help build voice apps and chat bots that can operate more flexibly.

Also, there's a need for a more declarative, high level programming language to describe how you can interact with a bot. Defining them as trees or graphs isn't flexible enough. I've had promising results from experimenting with concepts from Ceptre (https://github.com/chrisamaphone/interactive-lp). Fortunately there are a lot of startups experimenting in this space, I think we'll see the most effective practices replicated quickly.
That's really clever and quite possibly the fastest search I've ever used.

The way it works is by fetching an RSS list of links, downloading each linked page, and then matching a search string against the non-HTML content. If you're searching for something after the pages have all been downloaded it'll be very quick, but if the links in the RSS feed take a long time to load, or you do a search immediately the page has loaded, it'll feel really slow.

Also if someone used it on a mobile site it'd require the user to download all of the content for the website in order to search. They might not be too happy about that.
Might I ask if the using the word 'crazy' at the end was a conscious choice? I do not wish to pry or pose a rhetorical question. I'm curious only because from the rest of the email you seem to be speaking in a dispassionate manner about the situation but that bit stood out as being different.

I could be way off the mark of course. I intend no disrespect or ill-will of any kind. I understand if you just say "None of your business" or something like that.
People who recognize they are having a mental health issue and are working on getting better are often not really the problem. We all wish them better.

What is a problem are people mental issues creating trouble for others. It can get compounded by bosses looking the other way as results are coming in so there is no problem. Except the costs were externalized to the team around them.
Oh God, my Facebook feed is way more interesting than the comments section on HN of a post about leaving Facebook. Are you all wearing your "I left Facebook" badge?
Everytime you buy and sell a stock even if the stock didn't move and no fee, you loose at least 0.01 usd per share because of the spread. Ie. Apple trades 123.45 to buy and 123.44 to sell.
It's super easy for you. I tried to set this up but it's such a pain in the backside to tell people how to pull the latest code. Ended up with Gitlab and haven't looked back.

I didn't even realise Gitlab doesn't have auto-deploy yet.. We set up a .gitlab-ci.yml script that deploys the code.
Clover is certainly not what concerns typical gardeners. Is there a reason I should love the morning glories that are constantly trying to kill my tomatoes?
Capitalism is also good at building the right capital. Capital in this case refers to intellectual and physical goods that produce other goods, such as machine tools, construction equipment, metallurgical processes or freight railroads for example. Building a lot of the wrong capital and using it inefficiently is a problem that has always plagued centrally planned economies.
Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, there still are workplaces that are absolutely paranoid when it comes to software you can use, so I won't be able to try it. But hey, there's always a chance someday we'll get to change the VCS we're using, so hope dies last :)
It's possible to build a consumer hardware company without significant investment --- we did it with Pavlok. Here's an article about it:

1 dev for backend and api, 1 dev for phone app, 1 qa, outsource landing page. 3 months for the project. Monthly spend: 3.5 x n where n is a proxy for quality and probability of successful project completion; $5k, $10k, $20k.

3 x 3.5 x $20k = $210k
No, this is more like Terminator. The weeding machines will eventually see humans as a new kind of weed, then it's all over for us.
Then definitely that should raise some alarm flags. Why would an out-of-process server block the VS UI, unless there's some other problem?
It's a fallacy to assume that just because a claim was argued in a fallacious manner, that it's also incorrect. (Which is close to what you said.)

https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/the-fallacy-fallacy

Pointing out a fallacy by name is usually silly, but knowing how people twist debates and being able to defend against that is not.
To expand on this, if someone says "you just used a slippery slope [1] argument and therefore your claim is false," don't respond by citing the fallacy fallacy [2]. Instead, make an analogy (preferably one unrelated to the topic at hand and a second one more germane) to illustrate the unfounded leap.

Partly because fallacies go by many names and are not well understood. Partly since many cultures associate "your argument is illogical" with "you are stupid".

Yes, I want this answer.
Yes, it's not specifically a criticism of kops. Supporting ALB as an ingress controller seems to be the direction, with the coreos contributed code the likely winner.[1]

Thought it worth mentioning though, as the older ELB+k8s isn't great, and because the ALB support hasn't shaken out yet, a cluster created with kops could be suboptimal unless you address it afterwards.

I assume once it all shakes out, kops would support whatever the direction is.

If you don't care about the financial aspect then just do it. You don't need more information. Just write about the niche, link to high quality products, and build it.

There's a story about a fan talking to Jerry Seinfeld and saying basically, "I want to be a comedian, how can I do it?" having never done an open mic or told a public joke in any way. Seinfeld's response was that they were never going to make it, because if they had any chance of making it they'd already be doing the open mics, etc.

>This is the kind of attitude that reviles me. You can't blame someone for becoming alcoholic/depressive/etc. If you do then you don't understand what those are: illnesses.

Waaaait a minute. This is another strawman. My comment did not blame illnesses on the individual. But I think we need to define carefully what an illness is. I don't doubt alcoholism is an illness, but I would reasonable argue that browsing Facebook on your phone is not an illness. Do you really believe that? I don't. There may be people at the far end of that spectrum that cannot help themselves, but there are plenty of others that are just bored.

You need to report each trade to the IRS, plus some stocks are pass through in term of tax. Mainly oil stocks. It means you have to report their business expenses, profits, and revenues inside your own tax returns even with only 1 share. It's not a big deal, but that's result in lot of paperwork.

I would guess ankurdhama was talking about the problem from the customer's perspective.

When you hear them say: "I need a modern site", don't start until you're clear why they want it. For example "My customers told me my site doesn't look very trustworthy" will lead to a different solution than "My site is too slow" or "My site doesn't work on mobile devices".

Once you know the customer's why, you are also better able to make decisions like "It's okay to lose 1% of the data in case of failure in order to have a simpler system", or "We only look at the results once a day anyway, so using batching is acceptable".

I still have my account but disabled all notifications and effectively stopped visiting it except for rare occasions. I did this about 4 months after the election, when I realized how toxic Facebook had become, watching my friends and family deride each other for their voting choices. It wasn't healthy. I am actually glad that I stopped visiting it because in retrospect I don't miss it at all, and can't even estimate how much productive time I probably wasted on it.

> it's not your problem if sales go down this quarter

of course it is, you can get laid off.

Capitalism works by siphoning off value that workers generate and putting it into the pockets of their employers. You're right that employees are (somewhat) insulated from risk in this scheme, but I don't think it's crazy to suggest that someone is entitled to more than 7% of the value they generate.

My point is that the Iraq war was ostensibly started for reasons in line with those that you expressed. Except the good guys didn't quite have all their shit together the way you would want if you are going to go to war to spread better values.

If you go to war because "America Fuck Yeah", it doesn't matter so much if there are a bunch of disgusting fuck ups. If you go to war to protect higher ideals, well, fucking do it right.

I think pointing out some fallacies aren't that bad. For example, pointing out a "strawman" is a good way to signal to the other party that they're attacking stances that aren't even yours.
Growing engineering organizations is simply not a reproducible science. Successful companies are so rare and the conditions which led to their success so exclusive that it's much easier to point fingers at the people you disagree with. I think the parent captures this.

The backlash which is emerging now are really a products of pent up frustration. SoundCloud was never able to develop a culture which resolved differences. Lots of acquiescence, lots of political assassinations but no mechanism for reconciliation. That's where I point my finger at least.

Read the details. Yes, Apple Watch has some form of heart-rate monitoring. But what's described on that page is continuous all-day monitoring. Fitbit has better technology to better serve the consumer.

Yes, you can tell Apple Watch what kind of workout you're about to do and it will record it. But what's described on that page is automatically detecting and recording a type of workout based on motion. Fitbit has better technology to better serve the consumer.

Yes, you can track sleep with a third-party Apple Watch app if you're careful about when you recharge the device. But that page says "your Fitbit tracker can record your time spent in light, deep & REM sleep, as well as your time awake, then distills that information in easy-to-reach graphs in the Fitbit app."

There have been niche products that supposedly tracked sleep stages but they've been reviewed as inaccurate. Fitbit has unique ownership of this technology and major players haven't even claimed to compete with it.

The HackerNews repo is gone (and thus the issue), but at one point this was a Github issue I successfully filed to get HN to add it so their referral data for non-SSL pages wouldn't be lost:

https://github.com/HackerNews/HN/issues/68

(Background: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7197520)

IIRC, I think the developer was open to adding a referral, but not have it leak any on-site information, so this was a compromise.
This is a really neat solution. I like it.

One solution I've been working with is to create an index at build time for static sites and push to SaaS ElasticSearch and use AWS Lambda to make a query interface to it. It works well, albeit not free to run. This solution beats it in cost and probably perceived performance too.
I use react/redux for a very large application and overall it has been a powerful, robust, and scalable solution that handles 99% of our use-cases.

The biggest problem I struggle with is knowing when components rerender. Libraries like reselect that memoize state-composed functions really help with performance, but make it less clear when things are being rerendered and why they are being rerendered.

I also agree with some of the posts here that handling async actions, or side effects, can be rather difficult in the redux model. Redux-thunk is still being recommended even though Dan created it more as a bandaid solution rather than something more robust. We solved it with redux-saga, but my colleagues -- experienced developers -- struggled initially to grasp generators. I also think sagas run into the same problem that one action triggering multiple reducers has which is you could inadvertently trigger an action that hits one or more sagas and not realize you are causing side effects that you did not intent. I know there have been countless discussions on what to do about this problem, but I fear the solution will always be outside of the scope of the core library because of backwards-compat.
I agree with the conclusion. Voice input instead of text and better understanding and language generation would help.

However the current status is not so grim. In a different application domain, a customer of mine uses a chatbot to collect leads of credit requests. Their very basic chatbot converts much better than their form. The difference is so big that it pays for the extra work to manually extract data from those conversations that went to the end but we can't automatically get all the information from (funnily formatted dates, addresses, etc)
That's a good point, though there are on-prem and "other vendor" api compatible services for some of those, like S3.

Minio, for example: https://github.com/minio/minio or Google's cloud storage. Both are compatible with the S3 api.
Freud would say it's a thumb, covered in mud.
Definitely. That is also my main reason for mentioning the budget - building one app for multiple platforms is (usually...) cheaper.
"Gitlab dominates" 5% of the hosted market vs 95% of the SaaS market. And their reported popularity is based on data from a single CI company. This is further skewed since it's one of a few CI tools that actually supports Gitlab as an OAuth provider.

There's no way this claim would stand up to any scrutiny or more data-gathering. It's just marketing fluff.

EDIT: More on what upset me about this claim.

First, we have no idea of what the composition of the 10,000 applications Bitrise surveyed are like. There could be a single company that uses Gitlab to test thousands of applications that completely invalidate this result.

Second, this insults my (and every other competent readers') intelligence. This is badly done marketing. And their audience is developers. So they know they're misleading us but I guess they don't care.
This is a big one. Meetup is good for group events, and personal invitations are good for close friends, but I haven't really seen anything for the middle.
Can somebody provide more context about Nest's struggles?

I understand that their new products may not be selling that well (lots of cash for a CO detector / camera / etc) but what about the thermostat business where they have partnerships with most every energy provider and their setup process / support is great? What articles did I miss?

I ask because of self-interest: I just installed a couple and I appreciate them, and I'd hate to see the software support fall by the wayside / be decommissioned by their parent company.

EDIT: I'm reading about not enough revenue on the acquisition price and leadership issues, but I find it hard to believe a company with a solid thermostat product being sold in outlets across the country would collapse, especially given the current utility partnership incentives. That said, I've been surprised before.
Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?
A friend pointed out a bunch of the 'tell us about your successful side project' threads suffer from a survivorship bias. They're still great for inspiration, but I suspect we could learn a lot about challenges and wrong approaches from each others' failures.

So what's a side project you built hoping to generate revenue from it, that hasn't actually earned you much / any money?

Why do you think it hasn't been as successful as you thought it would be / what would you do differently if you did it again? How much time/money did you spend building it, and what kind of iterations / improvements did you make to try and salvage it?

Appreciate any and all answers!
