Agree with the other posts here. Don’t write your own store.

Shopify/Squarespace/Sellfy etc. are much cheaper and lower risk, at least to start with. From experience PCI compliance and tax rules are pains you do not want to deal with.

I’d only ever recommend custom coding if you have some extremely specific requirements. Even WooCommerce on Wordpress would be a better starting point.

If you want to tinker, you could build a store using a static site generator like Jekyll combined with a Google Docs spreadsheet to manage the inventory and something like Snipcart [0] for e-commerce functionality (I’m working on a site that does this).

I'd be fine if the only way to get a Tesla was to deliberately sign over your rights to the data. But nobody reads the EULA and the vast majority of consumers have no idea that this is something they're agreeing to. I'd really like for us as a society to rethink how consumer consent could work in a way that doesn't require everyone to be a lawyer. But given that most of the rules around this have been constructed implicitly by lawyers and judges I'm not sure how that could happen.
Accompanying this tight information control your Tesla can only be repaired at a Tesla dealership, with tight control over parts and labor prices.

I take it that you didn't compare xamarin to anything besides pwa- I'm assuming it's your way of saying that anything else you evaluated didn't stand up to xamarin?

Please let us know if there are any helpful getting started pointers and also for pitfalls.

Right now PWA is not something I'm considering although I see how they are the future (and am glad they are)

"You’re seeing rounds being led by firms that aren’t the top-tier Silicon Valley names but smaller, newer funds, including funds abroad that invest internationally. I think it just reflects the increasingly global nature of VC now that more capital is looking for yield, whether from sovereign wealth funds or pension funds or other outlets. But founders have no idea how to access those sources of capital. So we’ll have an application for investors to learn which companies are raising Series A rounds. We’re building software around that information to better match founders with the right investors."

Seems pretty big to me - I wonder what form that software will take. If there really are a lot of untraditional investment funds seeking series A opportunities, could it take the form of maybe wealthfront or vanguard? Makes me wonder if series a, b, c investing could ever be massively dispersed like common stock investing is. Little benefit for the startup in that case I guess because they miss out on the guidance from their investors, unless it can in some way be combined?
You and I know that, but some managers and companies soliciting mobile solutions only think in App Store terms. For these folks a PWA can be packaged and put in the store. And we can bill it as a value-add. :-)

My job (developing an interactive VR surgical training platform) has lots of interesting technical (and non technical) problems to solve. Shipping any product involves solving a fair amount of not so interesting problems and satisficing however.

I left a well paid job in games to work in VR because I thought there was a lot of interesting potential for non games VR applications. Seeking out work that interests you does often involve taking on more risk and often a pay cut relative to 'safe' / boring software jobs, although perhaps with some chance of a bigger potential upside in the right startup.
No, but based on reading the article, it seems like Tesla owners are particularly engaged on this issue because they've seen how Tesla divulges user data to the public to defend themselves.

> Another nice effect is that other people can carry the patch to the finish line if the original author stops caring or being involved.

There are ways of picking up a patch from an MIA author on github. Users can tick "allow maintainers to contribute" which allows maintainers of the root project access to push to their forks particular branch. If that fails, you can just get the diff from github and continue the work without losing the code. Git (and github) support multiple authors so you can still give credit where credit is due, however it isn't baked into the github permissions and UI. Obviously this case in particular is presented easier than on GitHub, but you still have the same options available to you.

That is a difficult question to answer. I mean, I get my work through reputation [1] & luck and 30 years experience but that isn't actionable advice for you. I would say that the trick to getting into work that puts the most "happiness under the curve" is to find a small company [2] that really needs you. Look for that advertisement on Craig's list, talk to your friends, develop a skill that you can leverage. [3]

[1] As I tell people: "People know my reputation - and yet they hire me anyway."

[2] The last company I worked at before going independent consisted of 3 people. The owner/engineer and 2 software devs.

[3] "Develop a skill you can leverage": By that I mean, start to learn something that you want to work with and then find a place to work at that will let you really learn it. For example, suppose you want to work with the Internet Of Things stuff; get a development board and do an IOT project with something like C++ and leverage your existing skill set (Javascript, Web stuff). Then take that little bit of IOT stuff and try to get a job doing IOT and then maybe C++ embedded. Does that make sense?

I completely agree.

There are many English people who retired in Brittany and more generally in the west part of France as well in Dordogne.
In my village we can even hear the BBC on radio, and in some place receive English TV (Dinard, Saint-Malo).
A good compromise would be to work in Rennes (insane amount of developer jobs) and spend time on the coast on week-end or in Paris (2 hours duration and sometime less).
Good tips. How are you killing remaining zombie Chrome processes? Just polling the processlist and running "kill" commands?
Shopify or something like that unless you have very specific requirements. And if you’re asking in HN you don’t have very specific requirements.

Reminds me of a particular west coast startup I was associated with that took its final round of funding and blew most of it on a massive out-of-town party. Flew in all of the A-list bankers and tech types it could find.

The idea was to make the (failing) app look like a huge deal in the eyes of investors and get bought, thus fulfilling its exit strategy.

It worked.
I'm not a hardware knowledgable guy, but would love to read/hear an intro about what chip design is all about (at a lay person's level I guess).

I understand that ARM sells core designs, and that each company assembles them / designs them in the way suits their performance needs, and then gets them manufactured?

But what does that really mean? What is the "user" doing? Are they arranging them like kids' Lego blocks on a die surface? Dragging and dropping blocks of code? Are they tweaking the voltage settings? Are they combining them in ways that do sequential operations special to them? What's the added step here? Like, why doesn't ARM just create the chips that the end OEMs want?

Is it like cooking or chemistry? What's the closest analogy? I would love to get a more intuitive feel about what chip design is all about.

Thanks!

> Tesla's a new company, either they're holding themselves to a higher standard than the establishment or they aren't. If they're not then I'm going with the establishment. I can overlook a great great great many things in service of the cause of disrupting the auto industry.

They're not. They restrict access to the service manuals behind a ridiculously expensive subscription that's only provided in states where it's legally required. It costs $30 a day or $3000 a year.

Service manuals for other cars cost ~$50 for a hardcopy.

I've favorited more comments in this thread than anything else on HN ever. Thanks for the great thoughts. I can add tangentially that these questions, these considerations, were pursued almost maniacally by David Foster Wallace, especially later in his life. You may find satisfaction especially in his last, unfinished novel, The Pale King, which purports especially to treat the immense spiritual gravity that he thought pertained to boredom itself, the awful tedium that so many of us have to suffer in the modern marketplace. Not, like, the boredom of having nothing to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon, which I don't think exists anymore; more the ugly struggle to, as you say, find a meaningful life amid meaningless work and interactions.
considering how some manufacturers are monetizing the center console and support applications; go check out onstar to see an example but Audi does it to; you can bet they would want to charge for access as they are providing a service to store it.

Got to amazed at chutzpah some companies have, my favorite whipping boy is Onstar. Here my nice little car has the ability to notify authorities in a crash BUT only if I pay for that service. Now on one hand I would not mind a nice small fee per month, say five bucks or less for something that would infrequently used if ever, but with Onstar the lowest cost is 24.99 a month!!

fwiw, when I had my car new they would even send driving reports, like when the system decided i accelerated to hard, braked too hard, and such. Real joy in what they collect AND sell to third parties
The set of dependencies that comes with CRA (and other similar tools) includes:

- A compiler

- A bundler/linker

- An optimizing minifier

- A linter

- A development server with live reloading

- A test runner

All of those are isolated and scoped to that one project, and they are all build-time dependencies only. The build output you actually deploy is just static JS/HTML/CSS files, and developers are encouraged to keep those at a few hundred KB tops.

It's also important to understand that Javascript packages are effectively distributed as source, which affects the number of files on disk. (Granted, many NPM packages do include unnecessary files in the published artifacts, but Javascript itself is a major factor there.)

Meanwhile, XCode is supposedly something like 8GB installed, Visual Studio is multiple gigs, and if you were to look at the actual file size on disk of any C++ compiler toolchain, that would be a minimum of several dozen megs - those are just usually preinstalled on Linux or Mac systems.

So, context is pretty important here. A couple hundred MB for a complete JS build toolchain is perfectly fine :)

Honestly, pretty much al of Yesterday's news from WWDC was great (I'm especially excited for the multi-cursor thing) the only bad news (and it was terrible) was about OpenGL/OpenGL ES/OpenCL support being deprecated.
Ask HN: How did you transition from Mac to Linux?
I have been a devoted Mac user for years, however apart from needing a Mac to build and release iOS apps, I am increasingly looking for great laptop hardware with great support for Linux, and recommendations on how to jump from the Mac to Linux (preferably Ubuntu). What pitfalls did you face? What apps and support did you miss?
Inside a trip it's indeed a nice idea to tinker with. But even then, and especially when sober, it always occurred nothing more than a thought experiment to me.
Workstations are a common target for these CPUs. In my field, EDA software, FPGA development. A lot of software development I do with SDRs benefit from high core count, high frequency Intel CPUs.
Is that even valid? They obviously can write anything they want but that doesn't make it right or legal.

> When you browse a Github project you know exactly how it works. Sure, the addons/CI/hooks may differ, and setting up the project might involve some contortions, but the process of browsing code, finding known bugs, and submitting changes is always the same.

Bullshit.

Browsing the code associated with a mailing-list-driven project is standard. If the code is in Git, then it's some Cgit or Gitweb. You just need to know the URL. Chances are very good that all the URLs you need are on the project home page.

Submitting a patch is exactly the same for any mailing list. Use "git format-patch" locally, then send the relevant parts of the output.

Bug tracking may differ depending on what that project is running, but there are major systems for that. Unless the project developed something from scratch, it will be one of those.

By contrast, code browsing, submission and tracking all differ for different code hosting sites. The point that these workflows are the same if everyone just goes with one company is moronic. When is anything not the same between customers of the same company? Do we really want FOSS developers to all depend on one company for their workflow? That's like admitting FOSS is useless; it can't even host itself.
I'm enthusiastic, almost to a childish degree, and I obsess. The joke at work is I'm "Sheldon", and I don't watch that show so I'm only vaguely aware that he's some type of bad communicating nerd. I think I communicate better. I'm also somewhat fearless, accepting projects over my head and still delivering.
The ethics of writing software to kill people
On your substantive point, I have no quarrel whatsoever with mixing old and new tech. I think we all do that, in practice. But what we're talking about is not just whether we mix old and new tech but where we go from here given that GitHub-based development has its problems.

If there are good examples of new OSS projects that use mailing list based workflows, I'd love to hear them. The usual examples (see elsewhere in this thread) are, like Linux, usually pretty dated.

My view is that the mailing list-based workflow seems to have some real problems and just advocating a return to it is... probably a bit short-sighted.

As far as your comments about what makes an argument self-refuting, my point is that it is potentially contradictory to say that X is considerably better than Y even while you can't actually be bothered to do X.

If X is "gender equality" then the analogy would be "We should all practice gender equality but as a man I personally want my wife to stay home and keep house." That's self-contradictory in a specific way that "I'm a man and I advocate gender equality" just isn't.

This is not consistent with my experience with emails, especially compared to github.
Authy encrypts all of your data with a private passkey that is never sent to Twilio (the parent company) [0]. I found the ability to sync 2FA across devices to be convenient and a good compromise to “if you lose your phone, you’re screwed.” I can understand both perspectives, but I think Authy has done a great job at improving the usability of 2FA without sacrificing security. This is certainly more secure than SMS-based 2FA which most people currently use.

(Disclaimer: I am currently employed by Twilio. I am not involved with Authy in any way)
