Ask HN: Building a similar app to Yahoo Tanda app
Growing up, my parents were heaving involved in local savings and contributions where few friends comes together to make a contribution say $20 every Saturday and then circle round till every member of the group has received their portion of the combined-contribution.

This worked pretty well, as a matter of fact, it was the help of some of this contributions that our parents were able to afford our college tuitions and pay for books e.t.c.

Fast-forward to 2018, when I saw Yahoo Tanda app, it brought so much memory. I was actually in the process of building a similar app and get some wisdom from my mother how it used to work e.t.c but on seeing the Tanda app, I thought I better not compete with Yahoo :)

Unfortunately, just 3 months later, this app got stopped for reasons explained here https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/25/yahoo-shuts-down-social-savings-app-tanda-only-months-after-launch/ now, my interest picked again. My friends are asking that we put some savings together and I know its mostly referring to an idea behind the Tanda app.

I want to get started on this project but want to make sure I’m building something people will use. I know my family and friend will as we all grew up with this understanding but that won’t be enough.

So to the question,
1. Will you use this app to put some savings together with friends?
2. If not, why not?
3. What should we bear in mind should we be looking to go ahead with this?

Can’t wait to learn from everyone.
The press release is wrong, who'd have guessed. What is Samsung TouchWiz or whatever they call it these days, if not a competing OS based on AOSP. Ditto for every other Android device. Android was forked so much that for the longest time the lament of geeks everywhere was "give me a device with stock Google Android". That doesn't sound like an monopoly to me.
> Small claims court decisions probably don't end up anywhere.

I would think in the usual case they would at a minimum be public records held by the court and subject to the usual mechanisms for accessing public records.
This is crazy. It's like if Android wasn't open source at all this wouldn't be an issue. But because it is open source they're being punished.

For me, Elite:Dangerous had a better model (although still not without it's troubles).

They delivered the base game in reasonable order and have been iterating and adding content since then.

Whilst the early game was pretty sparse in terms of content, at least it was delivered and reasonably complete.

Yes, the only thing the country can do only block the companies domain in that case.

For example in Turkey betting is illegal, turkey will block any bet providers page. But some providers just change their domain regularly.

My experience tells me that is just a matter of scale and goes for a lot of "willingness to get confrontational". When $THE_SITUATION happens once every month you can initiate a fight or at least threaten, when that happens 4 times a day, you either stop or will be stopped.

No. There are plenty of setting an end user shouldn't normally poke around in, that are still accessible under something like an Advanced button, or are an Option-click away. This should be no different.

What if I'm a consultant, with a Mac, and I need to access a client's VPN? They aren't going to change their router just for me, and they aren't going to provide me an MDM profile.
Echoed. I got into their system and was able to get some real interviews through the platform as well.

When you get in, they give you three "guaranteed" interviews that you can schedule essentially any hour of the day with at least 24 hours notice. I suspect that they pay their interviewers for these interviews (hence the guaranteed nature of them), but don't quote me on that. After those three interviews, your available interview slots drop off dramatically; currently there is a two week wait period. If you do well enough (appears to be top 10%), they will start acting as a recruiter; you can have real tech screens through their platform anonymously, and "unmask" and go onsite if the screen goes well.

I'm not sure what the filter is for letting people in but I suspect it's fairly manual right now, especially if they're paying interviewers for the three guaranteed slots people get. Keep in mind that Gainlo charges $100+ per interview for the same service. I actually got better feedback from interviewers on interviewing.io than the one interview I did from Gainlo (YMMV of course).

I think that there is not a definition of the Monad trait - not just undesirable, not possible - that can abstract over all Futures and Iterators as implemented in Rust. You would have to use some kind of trait object & lose the incredible inlining benefits that Rust gets from how these interfaces are designed today.

This is separate from effect systems, which I never said was not possible. rpjohnst's parallel response sums up the key differences between monads and an effect system.
This isnt true though. Samsung ships it's own apps as the defaults on it's devices as one example.
I definitely agree about the tactile feedback, but thinking purely about how much more movement you have to do makes me think that traditional keyboard should be faster. Now if this would be mirrored to your other hand then I could see that someone who mastered this could in theory be faster. Purely speculating on all of these points thou
Yes, I also think we need to see more tests with other apps than Adobe Premiere.

Does Premiere use the GPU as well? The thermal system of the MBP needs to handle the combined thermal load of GPU an CPU.
Actually you're right. Some of the projects are tools for my own task automation, and others are some just R&D. Maybe I can create the landing page for the tools, and gauge the interest in them.

If you mean what I think you mean, you can already send a link that specifies a valid element ID on the page to anybody and have their browser focus on it — that's what fragment identifiers are for. However, if the page designer has neglected to provide a unique ID for each page element (and they probably have), you're out of luck. Ideally, you'd be able to specify any valid CSS selector that only selects one element as a fragment identifier, but that's not the case (and is basically what this extension makes possible).
It's not a donation but I'd argue that even most donations carry the implication that you'll use the money for the purpose the donation was solicited for and not just have a big party for your friends.

Has there ever been a high profile early access game that crossed the finish line? It seems like studios usually take the money and run, like Bohemia Interactive with DayZ. Five years and tens/hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and the game is abandonware.

Well it's hard to say that because the EU is the wrong way to organise European cooperation from the start. European cooperation should be done the way it used to be, as many multi-lateral agreements and organisations that are only loosely affiliated or not at all.

But most of the European political elite want to unite the continent under a single government instead. Given that, the best kind of Brexit would be one where the UK is no longer a part of this, and can sign various unlinked bilateral treaties to continue cooperation in the areas where there is agreement, and discontinue in areas where there are disagreement.

This makes perfect sense - agreement on everything is rarely possible, so collaboration on the areas where people do agree is the best you can do. It's also exactly what the UK has proposed repeatedly. However the EU refuses to allow it, exactly because if people were offered that alternative the EU and associated gravy train would cease to exist tomorrow.
The Ideological Turing Test: How to Be Less Wrong
I'm pretty sure "subjugation of the population through chattel slavery or Jim Crow" and "net neutrality" are on different coins. That can't be your calculation in deciding whether or not to side with the "state's rights" camp.

I am in favor of concentrating power in the hands of the people and have a bias towards local over regional or national. But I won't ignore the reality that many who have pushed for "state's rights" as a term were specifically fighting for the rights of states to oppress minorities. This is why I prefer to express my politics through phrases like "power to the people" and not "power to the states" - when states are undemocratic, they should have no rights.
This is a cool idea. New explorations and innovations in this direction are very welcome IMHO. I'm still a bit dismayed after reading about Douglas Engelbart's 5-key chording keysets that there's very little on the market to fill such a niche completely.

It may be argued that we now have mouses with 5+ buttons, when Engelbart himself scaled back from 5 to 3 for the mouse hand, and we're now used to keeping one hand on the keyboard where we commonly do two- and three-finger chords, but there's a certain level of facility that I think can still only be realized with a dedicated chording keyset.

Engelbart's keysets could also provide two-way communication (by puffing air under the keys) to do things like prompt for certain responses when mousing over certain screen elements, which still seems slightly out of reach for smartphones' limited "haptic feedback" (not that I saw that mentioned here, just something that came to mind when I saw this was an implementation for touchscreen devices).

No they didn't. Some people use a modified client, but that's super risky for a lot of reasons.
FWIW I don't think they have Big N clients yet, though they do have e.g. Twitter and Lyft on there. Google is still remarkably old school with interviews: Google Doc for screens, whiteboard for onsites. (Although I've heard that's recently changing and they're allowing laptops for onsites, and are doing more onsite loops remotely through Hangouts.)

And technically speaking you can use it for unlimited practice once you get in, but you have to schedule way further in advance once you're past their guaranteed interviews, and there are fewer available time slots.
It seems that it would be better for Google and Apple if Nokia has survived with its own smartphones and OS.
I'm not buying your first point. Within a month of OEMs releasing the Kernel sources, you can find builds of AOSP over at XDA, Lineage OS and other forums. And with the project Trebble in P, we have builds within a week. I don't think it is hard or Google is making it hard to compile.

As for your problems installing it on other boards, where are the drivers for them? Your classic desktop installation comes with drivers for almost every laptop/desktop board. Android doesn't because the vendors don't contribute. A snapdragon SoC requires a binary blob from Qualcomm. There is nothing you can do without it. It has nothing to do with AOSP being opensource or Google controlling it (Google controls other aspects, AKA the Play Services).

I knew when I got involved I was putting money into a black box. I was (and still am) enthralled with the idea Chris Roberts has presented. When I was able to jump into a ship and play Area Commander with other People, I felt like what I signed up for was delivered. But, I'm excited with what else is coming.

And honestly, I'm glad. If they had just stuck to the initial scope, it would be less exciting. I'd rather dream big and be let down versus not have the chance to dream in the first place. I've backed some kickstarter projects that did what I signed up for, and awesome. I've also backed some projects that got widely popular and the people decided to increase the scope of what they were trying to do. Some of them worked, some of them didn't, and some looks like they are going to. I'm not sure which is better, but for me I lean towards "let's try to do awesome."

EDIT. A point I wanted to share is that you also need to quantify enjoyment and wow factor. I've seen things come out of Star Citizen that make me feel like a kid again. They have done some awesome stuff in terms of visuals and engineering. I would still love to have a finished project, but from what I've played and seen already, I would not be overly disappointed if the game disappeared tomorrow.

I've enjoyed the journey, and will continue to enjoy it. That has to count for something. I'm not saying I don't expect a full game to come, I do.

This is incredibly (deliberately?) misrepresentative. They are being punished for having a monopoly and (ab)using that. If Apple/iPhone had an 80% market share in EU the commission would be gunning for them instead, e.g. because of their closed ecosystem preventing competition.

Very cool! Your comment led me to be interested in finding out a little more about the history. I just enjoyed reading "WordStar of Rob Barnaby and Seymour Rubenstein" https://history-computer.com/ModernComputer/Software/Wordsta...

"Barnaby needed four months to code Wordstar on his IMSAI PCS 80/30 computer. This was done in assembler for Intel 8080 from scratch (according to Rubenstein Barnaby was the mad genius of assembly language coding), as Barnaby wrote 137000 lines of bullet-proof assembly language code. Only some 10-percent of Wordmaster code was used."

Edit: IEEE Annals of the History of Computing 28(4):32-47 · November 2006 -> The Origins of Word Processing Software: 1976−1985 has an interesting section on Wordstar . https://www.researchgate.net/publication/3331079_The_Origins...

> The old chip pulled 33% less than its rated TDP in the real world.

That sounds slightly made up. As you mention yourself chips pull vastly different amounts of power, and put off vastly different amounts of heat depending on workload.

> lol if you actually think TDP means anything anymore

Yes, it does not mean anything because Intel releases CPUs that exceed their ratings because they can't get their process right, which is my whole point.
