I don’t know there are a lot of people who have crazy ideas and succeed once despite all odds.

Elon Musk did that twice at a very big scale with Tesla and SpaceX. Both companies were supposed to fail and yet the succeeded. And while it is not my generation I believe zip2 and PayPal also had pretty novel concepts which were supposed to fail back then too.

He has just done it too many times to be just luck. Sure there was also a lot of luck, but it takes more then luck to do that with at least two successful companies.
Isn't there a way to preprocess the sprites and create 2x and 4x scaled versions?

Such as earning enough after tax, rent and expenses to be able to afford to save up half a years living expenses in 2 years, and have a safety net to fall back on if it goes wrong. You’re missing two things here.
1) not everyone makes a six figure salary that enables them to save that kind of money in a short period of time.
2) not everyone has the safety net hat you have in the case that it fails.

If your venture fails and you’re out of work for a year, what will you do?

> are you the type of person that thinks only the “smart kids”...

No, stop trying to turn this around on me. I’m claiming your privilege is being a top earner with wealthy parents to fall back on. For the record, not everyone has what it takes to be a 4.0 GPA student, and if you think that “anyone can” just as long as they work hard, then you are wrong.

> it’s mostly Judy a lot of hard work, annoying reading and homework and not partying every night.

I don’t really know why you’re brjnfjng this up, but petting every night has very little to do with it compared to the other side of the equation - time. If you have time to do the hard work and the reading, do the extra curricular activities, that’s your privilege. You’re just as privileged as the people who choose to spend that time partying. Meanwhile in the real world, not everyone has the same circumstances, and you come across as incredibly patronising to assume that they do.

Hi, OpenRCT2 dev here.

FYI: OpenRCT2 has support to consume RCT Classic assets as its base. Also, RCT Classic is available on Steam too (Windows and macOS only, though).
But there needs to be a "Joes is responsible for the well functioning of microservices X1, Y2, Z3" - even if there may be 5 other people working on these same and others.

That implies that Joe has some kind of authority over the 5 other people, I hope. Otherwise that sounds like a "responsibility for blaming only" situation.
Ask HN: Resources for minimal web design
I've been doing hobby web design but want to advertise myself professionally. What resources or other tools are helpful for minimal design? I mean small, fast sites. Little to no use of JS, simple CSS, no silly parallax animation.

True minimal design, not the Squarespace-y, hipster design that many sites have embraced.

> On the other hand, joint code ownership leads to endless discussions about proper whitespace formating, variables naming and accessors.

That is not my experience. Sure, there will be some bikeshedding in the code reviews, but you get rid of most attack surfaces by agreeing on lint/formatting options and just delegating the task to a tool. For me, proper whitespace formatting was whatever gofmt spat out. Later clang-format with the agreed team-wide options and currently pretty-js. The team can instead focus on more important code issues like the overall structure or bugs in the reviews.

> It leads to never-enforced style rules that no one likes nor follows.

If no one likes, enforces or follows them, you can't really call them rules. If it is the mutual understanding that some style aspects are not relevant, what's the problem keeping it that way? There is no need to let that get in the way of enforcing some aspects of style in order to produce code that anyone in the team can easily work on.

> In my case (non critical C# project with easily compartimentalizable functions with diverse team members of different skills, different maturity levels and a propensity to argue over minor formatting details) it meant isolated modules communicating through a well-defined API.

IMO one of the best ways to train a new programmer is to have them work closely with more experienced people and with the same level of review scrutiny. I don't know about the project you are working on and its timeline, but in the long term I believe this pays off by turning newbies into good, independent programmers that produce readable and idiomatic code. And no one needs to argue about minor formatting details with the tooling available today. It's a self-imposed waste of time if anything.
No, not yet, because of the way data is stored. When we move on to our own save format it will be possible, I'm sure.
The UG was actually made just for this purpose. With the EU law it was easier to just create a LTD or LLC in the UK. The 25k EUR are not something you have in your pockets as a founder. Even though you only need to deposit half.

Ask HN: How do you deal with overconfident and mediocre individuals?
I have a high bar for expressing absolute confidence for something (ie knowledge in a field or proficiency in a language) and am continuously surprised by people who claim mastery of something/that they are a natural at something, but in reality are quite mediocre, or above average at best. Furthermore, the same individuals tend to put down others who are more humble/less confident in their skills, directly or subtly.

It infuriates me when these individuals subtly bring down others, but I am unsure how to approach it - directly, indirectly, or just ignore it and focus on my own work and goals.

I also anticipate that I’ll be told the only way is for me to be more vocally confident in myself, but that is not my natures and I have little appetite in continuing the status quo.

Valid point. I will add HTTPS. Using your root credentials is a bad idea

However, you are able to create a user in AWS that has restricted permissions, and dispose of it after use. So like a TTL of 5 min if you choose. That is how the steps describe it.
This is a deceivingly simple and dangerous assertion.

Some people form a GmbH/UG as a sole owner/ceo with the goal that it shields them personally from liability, but never intend to take on investment or have employees. Personal liability tends to creep in in a lot of places, piercing the shield. Many rental contracts for example will stipulate a personal liability for the owner/ceo in such a case. A credit line for the company might as well, even something as simple as a credit card for the company does. The CEO is personally liable for quite a few things that are not as clear cut as it seems at first glance: You may be liable for correct tax filing and in taxes, many things are judgment calls with a thin line between what's considered a valid way to reduce taxes and tax fraud. Personal liability may creep in from declaring insolvency too late in the hope that the next contract will save the company. Haven't filed the taxes because you need to bring in money? Company can't pay the taxes right now? A common thing when companies go down, but personal liability. It might creep in by entering contracts that the company cannot reasonably fulfill and the CEO should have known, but looked the other way because they hoped that things will just work out fine.

True, if you did everything lawfully, then you're probably shielded, but despite best efforts, most people and companies slip up sooner or later.

There are many reasons to form an LLC, but the hope of shielding yourself personally as a single developer/consultant is often in vain.

Buying RTC Classic from Steam (which is available on macOS) is probably a better idea. It's an update to the game featuring both RCT1 and RCT2 campaigns.
Exactly. Saying "You are overqualified and would be bored to work here" is the same as saying: "You are really nice, but let's just be friends". Nobody today is going to tell you straight: "You are too old, sorry, we probably won't be able to push and exploit you and we are afraid you will find a better job".

Moreover, in this concrete example, isn't assigning modules to individual developers (as opposed to collective code ownership) essentially the same? i.e. structuring the code along the organization communication structure?

Show HN: Joyvite – Referral Program for Your SaaS
Funny to see this here, it's been ages since I've seen UPX mentioned. In the early 2000's I had written some software whose executable was around a megabytes or maybe several megabytes in size coming out of VB6. On one of mid 90's test laptops we used at the time to ensure it would run on even the crummiest of machines it launched NOTICEABLY faster when packed with UPX. The hard disk in that machine was so incredibly slow loading less off the disk and decompressing the executable in RAM was easily an order of magnitude faster.
I think it’s safe to assume that most people turn off wifi when there is a wifi network that sucks and they want to switch to cellular. This is by far the most common reason, and it’s also what they think they accomplished.

What they instead achieved up to iOS 10 was:

* worse location data in maps
* airdrop does not work
* AirPlay might not work (doesn’t work across networks)
* Handoff doesn’t work
* phone call and sms forwarding doesn’t work
* applications don’t auto update in background anymore
* system updates are not downloaded in background anymore
* might waste their data plan

I think it’s impossible to have people know and be aware of all these side effects. It’s much better to change the UI: have the common button do what people think of and know it does: get off a network. And have the more comprehensive shut down button a couple of taps deeper in settings.

Guidelines for Testing Ethernet Cables
It seems that you already know the problem: sales and marketing. You've sent 1000 emails and tried LinkedIn and that's it? You have a lot to learn, especially when it comes to corporate sales cycles and B2B sales. But that's water under the bridge now.

My advice: fire everybody that's not essential to your operations. You'd be tempted to think 'if I get one big client I will need the developers/accounting/HR/personal assistant, but 100K in the bank gives you about 2-3 months runway and you're going to need ALL that money to get that client. So: fire everybody, sell everything, start cutting costs everywhere. It's ramen noodles and water for you the coming 2-3 months.

Now make a list of 5 clients that you want to have. They could be some clients that you already demo'd to, or new ones. Don't be overly ambitious with this step, don't aim for the Fortune 500 companies yet because they're not going to bet on non-proven stuff.

Spend all your time, effort and some money on getting these clients. Get to know them, make sure that you understand what it is exactly what they're doing, and how your product can help. Next, think of a way to SHOW them how your product can help. Cyber security is all nice and great, but unless they know the risk of not having your product you're going nowhere.

Maybe you can find a way to have a hacker break into their systems (with their consent, ofcourse!), show them how easy it is to get all client data or erase their client database. Cybersecurity is like fire insurance: you only realize you need it when your house is on fire.

A couple of tips:
- Use the 100k to get a sales person with a proven track record to get sales for you. Sales is a profession just as programming, not something everyone can do
- people who say that your demo looks great is fine for your ego, but doesn't say anything. Most likely the just don't want to make you feel bad
- Sending 1000 emails and trying LinkedIn is not a marketing strategy
- Dont' say 'I'll send you sample emails that will bypass your existing technology'. Why in the world would I want that? I might as well hand over my creditcard data to you as well? Why would I put my company at risk so that you can sell me something?

In short: cut costs to 0, focus on getting your first client. Oh, and some detention-work: write down the line 'Build it and they will come is utter BS' 100x. It's like rule #1 of entrepeneurship 101 and widely documented, there is no reason anyone would fall for this trap.
Good luck!

I didn't mean to make it sound simple. Thank you for expanding on that.

The ones dictated by law are certainly tricky, because those apply to you by default and you might not know about them. I wouldn't throw credit line/rental into that same mix though, since those are contracts you enter willfully and those contracts explicitly state that you are personally liable if the company can nlt meet its obligations.
They aren't saying it's bad. They're saying it happens. And that you need to be aware of that if you want your code to end up maintainable.
