Show HN: Ymappr – a todo app using mapped lists instead of regular lists
Hello hackers,

I just launched a new MVP It's a todo app using mapped todo lists instead of regular lists !

https://ymappr.com

It's bugged and very beta, but I released this complex MVP in only two weeks ! (+ made while relocating from Thaïland to Vietnam, and even while being sick). Needless to say, despite the raw interface, a lot of efforts was put into this.

Hope I can give you a feel of what the final product will look like, and I would appreciate some feedback

In the meantime, take care!

If any box on your network is establishing outbound connetions to machines in china, that would be suspect... Firewalls and IDS at least detect/block this activity.
so these people who are upset would never support their lifetime friends during a tough time? even if they were accused of something horrendous ? BTW support doesn't mean you agree with what they did, but you be there whatever the outcome..
IANAL, but this website mentions Chobani sued Alex Jones / InfoWars over allegedly defamatory, fictitious statements. [0] Perhaps Bloomberg can be sued for defamation by Supermicro if discovery can turn up evidence that the story was both malicious and intentional.

You're the one who complained about my replying here not there; I'm happy to drop thread etiquette but your way has nested things awfully deep, and on two subthreads. Better to stick to one, and answer the question: who is scammed? You still have not said.
The DOD and the IC broadly have been very focused on Supply Chain Risk Management for a long time. Unfortunately the way the SCRM process works inside the govt is that it's legally focused and limited to primarily defense products, specifically things like hardware used in missiles, planes and equipment.

The major shift over the last decade or two to the commercial world being the source of a lot of risk vectors that impact the govt, means that govt capabilities to have oversight and control, or even warning, is severely limited. This case is a great example of that, as more and more threats to the govt are coming through commercial and personal devices.

Said another way, foreign adversaries don't need to target military equipment to have major capacity to spy on, or impact US government activities and policies. Private companies have to request support from DHS when there isn't a known risk to military supply chain. 99% of companies don't do this because 1. They don't want to, 2. The govt makes it hard to do and 3. It's not advertised well.

The US Govt is not structured to handle this at scale and there is no real solution without making a HUGE shift in private sector oversight that would be incredibly unconstitutional.

Certainly not knocking on the badge or the practices.

I just found it amusing that PHP often gets a bad rap, but then shows up at the top of the listed projects for objectively good development practices.
If you're sick of Facebook, get the government to regulate Facebook. Sounds pretty dumb to me.

How about, if you're sick of Facebook, don't use Facebook?
The problem with this is that no one cares. The announcement implicitly appeals to a sense of outrage at the violation of ethical principles with the presumption that such outrage would matter in some important way. It won't. You can't accomplish anything with non-existant outrage. The only things that matters in this theater are acts of violence in reprisal.
In this day and age it’s quite ironic for any country to say that they don’t hack other countries. China will hack, Russia will hack, japan will hack and USA will definitely hack.

It’s not just about control. It’s about corporate advantage as well.

Somewhat off topic, but I was a Ham radio operator in my pre-teen years and had a technician license (this was decades ago when there was the Novice class and you had to pass a Morse code test). I remember the used radio well that I bought when I was around 12 I think (it had vacuum tubes!)

Being out of amateur radio for so long:

1. I honestly don't even remember what my call sign was. Does anyone know if there is some way I can look that up? This was literally decades ago.

2. This may come across as a dumb question, but what is Ham radio primarily used for today? I mean, when I was a kid I remember being thrilled being able to talk to (or at least listen in on) conversations from around the globe. This was all in pre-internet days, nevermind pre-chatroom and social network days. What is ham radio's "niche" now that the internet has taken over the world?

3. Does anyone use Morse code anymore?

4. What are the new "hybrid operating modes" that exist?

Thanks!
I feel like if you had the resources to implement something like this, you would also have the resources to mask where you are phoning home to.
Thanks for the response, I definitely see the potential of Deliverr (related to the use of excess warehousing capacity) as expectations move to 1 day and same day shipping.

It seems inventory placement strategies developed by demand prediction models are only as good as the data set used to build the models. Obviously it's going to be hard to compete with Amazon on the breadth of data you have access to.

Where has Deliverr gotten the data to feed the prediction models in the early days?

Do you require your customers to provide historical sales data?

Do you pool customer data to improve the models for all of your customers? If so, do customers have a way to opt-out of their data being pooled?
It could be an issue, though. By doing a partial roll-out, you're naturally making it easier for some groups to register. This could be partisan, and it could be innocent. But it might be best to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
Thanks for taking a look. As per my other comment, there is a hidden field in the form that sets the wordLimit (default 3000, assuming 200wpm average reading speed). Feel free to adjust this value. I'm looking into adding some customisation to how the article is chunked and how the chunks are delivered, but just wanted to keep it simple and clean for the initial version.
You go to a repair shop that has one, which is what the parent poster was referring to.
Best of luck to you, but be careful, you may be left holding the bag of a soon-to-be bankrupt company. See my comment above, and take a look at their financials.
Vuesax Framework for Vuejs: New Update v3.5.0
Have to agree that this seems like a re-discovery of an already solved problem. Sometimes called architecture review, before new initiatives kick off.

I worked at a big, regulated, company that had a very strict change control process. Too many RFC's for implementations a week out were met with a response like "what! why did you buy/build a system to do X? We already have three systems that do that!!", but it was too late by then to rethink x. The problem was it's difficult to deny a plane in the air permission to land - it's coming down eventually, like it or not. So we implemented an architecture review board that was "permission to take off", hopefully before sinking a lot of money and time into something, run the idea around past some connected folks. It was default approve - someone could raise an objection and ask for more information, but if there were collective shrugs, you were good to go.
Ya you’re gonna have to have a source on that one
As an occasional driver (I take the transit more), yes please take up the whole lane; is safer for both sides. If I find you too slow I can overtake you when safe (either in a different lane or in the opposing lane when safe). Essentially, treat you like a slow moving farm vehicle.

However, please do not lane split even when it's legal to do so. I can't see out the far side of the vehicle, so you're basically somewhere I have less control over. Further, if you take a whole lane _then_ lane split at the red light, it will anger me and I will end up driving more aggressively, which is rather terrible for safety. If I can tolerate you being slow in front of me, you can tolerate me being slow to accelerate.

Don't forget Porsche, which implies Audi, vw, and Lamborghini as well.
Ah! Thanks for clarifying that.

We intentionally created the badge criteria so that you could meet them regardless of the language you used. And if someone's doing the right things, then they should get a badge!
Most of these escape sequences have been standardized for ages in ECMA 48 (1976), ANSI X3.64 (1979), and ISO/IEC 6429 (early 1980s?) [1].

According to [1], the code for smcup given in the article, ESC[?1049h, or 'Enable alternative screen buffer', is a 'popular private sequence' so I suppose it is not guaranteed to work everywhere. But most of the content in the original article is still valid.

Duplication of effort is common-place at scale because there are too many communication paths to even hope for very much collaboration, much less organize everyone/everything top-down (eg, impossible).

Technical debt is like the national debt: interest gets paid along with way, but sooner or later there will be a reckoning.

There is often too much ego-investment, NIH and sunk costs bias for people to diverge much from whichever direction they were moving, even if it's not a good direction to go.

There is no perfect; and in fact, the perfect is the enemy of the shipping; and there's a infinitely massive continuum from fragile to awesome.
Someone had to put in new batteries in it and they took it off the wall right away to show that there was no cord. It is possible the auctioneer himself was not in on it but others had to be.
So you've now paid for more storage than you need. Upfront. You can't swap it and if the phone dies, you've probably lost everything or it's going to cost you dear to get that data out.

Apple's solution is to go sync those gigs on Apple's cloud and keep paying a monthly fee for it.

No thanks.

I paid Apple for making choices for me and building products for my wants and needs. Now, its made for the 'vast majority'.

I know more people like me and I see a niche market emerging that I hope someone addresses.
Not investing more than I can afford to loose.

Hacking is one thing, your main outsourcing partner planting hardware backdoors by the millions is quite another.

These are companies that take your money and then hack you.

1. Might be able to use the FCC DB to look it up.

2. Hobby and EmCom. When I lived in Texas most of the clubs were HF contest based. Now I’m in the PNW and lots of the clubs are EmCom based which is interesting. Lots of neat operating modes just in Tech class. APRS, Satellite, Ham mesh networking.

3. Yes. If you want DX CW is a great way to do it.

4. Digital modes provide some new and interesting stuff these days. Using FT8 mode I can hit Japan, China, and Australia on 10-30watts.

I think radio is a great hobby. Bit expensive but still very relevant. I’ve learned a ton by practical application.
> They're trying to avoid their brand being tarnished by bad repair shops with questionable repair skills cutting corners with cheap and unsupported parts.

Got any sources to back up that claim that secondary Apple computers are being plagued by "cheap unsupported parts" and thus effectively causing a market for lemons [0].

Wouldn't be a straight Linux distribution the best choice to avoid anything annoying?
This is exactly one of the main reasons why I switched to Linux, it doesn't do anything unless I let it or ask it to - with few exceptions.

My anecdote: I was about to have an important meeting and needed to print off some sheets from my Windows-based netbook. The power was low (<3%), so I plugged in the charger and resumed it from hibernation. It had been offline for a little while up until then because of traveling. Seeing the power was plugged in and I was shutting the machine down going into the meeting, Windows presumed that right then was a perfect moment to perform a Windows update. That night I wiped it and put Ubuntu on there.

FYI the Linux experience has been mostly great. There's been maybe a problem once a year, with some driver or package issue - but most of the time it runs great. I can safely run anything on it overnight knowing that it won't decide to do anything on it's own accord.
Let me do my best:

1. If it hasn’t expired, the FCC callsign lookup should tell you

2. There have been developments into digital modes, as well as growth in DMR and DX competitions. But as a licensed amateur myself, I’m actually not sure what most people who get licensed these days do

3. Yep, some of the CW frequencies are fairly busy, given you can get some crazy range. And kits like the QRP labs QCX is $40-odd

4. No idea, I had a quick google and it didn’t become any more apparent, sorry!
I don’t deny at all that it happens, and I understand that management has a difficult path to tread, but he just threw out a claim that it had happened to him with absolutely no evidence or even plausible story of who did it or why.
Looking at CanIUse [1][2], it seems like the HEIF support is in macOS itself, and not the Safari browser. I wouldn't be surprised if the Windows version of Safari didn't support it.

It does somewhat work in the same way that homeopathy somewhat works. The placebo effect of convincing people that it works produces some results on naive people.

Not to mention that eliminating the polygraph would require someone to admit that they were wrong about using a polygraph.
So you pick "have my data and identity stolen" over "my computer occasionally restarts itself while I'm asleep". Alright, good luck!
For English, aside from do/does useless distinguishment, the lack of a gender neutral noun for a person usually make people write in a way "he/she". You could say, "the person" but it's long.

And months should be represented as numbers instead of names in spoken languages too which is easier to use and remember to have a globally common form.

Also, as a Japanese, I'm not sure if singular and plural forms make much sense as we mostly don't have it and I doubt it's any source of confusion.
If the hacked chips are found it may turn out to be very verifiable.
1. yes. it might be in the fcc database still. search at the fcc web site. also, qrz.com might have old database info from old callbooks.

2. many things. i like radiosport competitions. there are many sub-hobbies. experimenting with high coding-gain codes is also interesting.

3. yes. i use it for radiosport. go listen at the low end of 40m right now for the California QSO Party. many dits. (asking if morse code is still used by anybody is like asking if people still use sailboats. yes, but not for commercial purposes. )

Yes, li-ion batteries in pacemakers last that long.
Shortcuts are great when survival time is bought. This can turn into a self-defeating problem when there is extreme habituation to recurrently and disproportionately sacrificing effort, cost and/or burdens on others in future for the now such that the shortcut wastes vastly more net time and money than it could've ever saved. I've seen founders shoot themselves in both feet and unable to move fast, or anywhere, because they knowingly stuck themselves with keeping 50 plates spinning while trying to swim through quicksand... especially solitary founders because they lack the check and balance of a second or third founder to keep them honest with reality and on-track.
Same for Japanese I guess. 1 letter change and your tone can suddenly become aggressive but of course when non natives speak, people will try to understand their intentions.
As someone who in charge of testing BT enabled audio devices, reliability is terrible.
> The reluctance to let people register to vote is understandable, if your allegiance is to your party before your country.

I think many concerned believe that making sure their party gets elected - no matter how - is allegiance to their country. It's internally consistent if you genuinely believe that the other party seeks to destroy your country, and therefore is to be opposed by all available means.
A case of a malicious driver update served by Supermicro has already been publicly confirmed by at least two former customers. Even if the hardware hack allegation is conclusively proven false, they will have a tough time acquiring and keeping customers.
Steve Jobs passed away on this day 7-years ago
Out of box Linux support for most laptops is surprisingly good now, leaving the overall quality of the laptop as the real issue. Tons of crummy machines out there with poor displays, hinges designed to fail, a million screws yet the screw mounts love to shear off at the slightest force...
You probably use every day at least one of the projects with a badge.

Yes, but it doesn't factor one bit in evaluating whether I use a project.

In short, have you even looked at the criteria?

Yes, and it doesn't matter --- whether or not a project does X is not necessarily an indicator of its success. You're essentially saying "all successful projects do X, so if you do X you'll be successful" --- where success is, in this case, earning a badge.

I've seen far too much software that happens to tick all the "best practices" boxes, yet is a horrific failure at doing what it needs to do.

Also, snake oil salesmen made all sorts of claims because they were going to earn money by selling you a product. Earning a badge requires $0, so the badging process is not a sham to earn money.

It's not free in terms of the time expense.
I second this. Expose your backend with DRF (https://www.django-rest-framework.org/). Once you get over initial learning curve, you'll have an extremely powerful and flexible library for building your backend.
> Can you imagine a phone with 3000 mAh removable battery

If you are willing to make it a bit thicker than current phones...about 10% thicker than the original iPhone, you could use 5 NiMH AA batteries [1].

3000 mAh is about what the iPhone XS Max has. If you can get by with around 1900 mAh (about what an iPhone 7 has) you could get that down to 3 AA batteries, or 7 AAAs.

For people who are already using a lot of AA and AAA rechargeable batteries, this gives them a phone that easily fits right in, and as a bonus in an emergency you can use non-rechargeable batteries that you can buy from any convenience store.

[1] 3000 mAh x 3.7 V = 11100 mWh. 11000 mWh / (2000 mAh x 1.1 V / NiMH AA) = 5 NiMH AA.
That's like saying everything is open source if you can write assembly. Minecraft only ever released binaries and they also went out of their way to use an obfuscator so all of the class and method names are garbage and change every update.
Everything we have heard on the subject suggests he has done meaningful engineering work on the rocket. This fact should not at all minimize the contributions of others, which are also very substantial. Nor should it take away from the accomplishments of Steve Jobs.
XCP-Ng: XenServer Community Powered
The most successful company I ever worked for (late 90's, the founder was a billionaire for a few months after the IPO, 99.9% of HN readers use an evolution of what we built every day) had a policy of rejecting any proposal for a tech feature or significant improvement unless it was properly documented.

We had a collection of templates for the types of documents we used. I could create a feature proposal in an hour or two, and the template ensured that all first-round questions were answered out of the box, saving many hours of staff time.

The tech founders set this up and forced everyone else to use it and once we saw the value, peer pressure kept it going. It worked incredibly well.

We weren't writing RFCs, but we had a doc process that respected (and saved) everyone's time and attention. That helped us move fast together. It really worked.
Why would they do that? Surely it's to their advantage to actually tell the targets of the supply chain attack about it?

What are you basing this on other than speculation?
I wonder if copyright extensions are exhibit A for the negative impact of money on politics. Copyright holders have a motivation to lobby for extensions but no big players have a motivation to lobby against them. Hence, both US parties are weirdly on board with continually extending the reach of copyright and IP laws in general. If there were no invisible hand constantly guiding politicians toward extending copyright, surely at least some politicians would have different views on it. It doesn’t help that it’s an issue that is so opaque to the general population, so there’s no popular opposition to it either. I love the EFF but when it comes to money and lobbying power they are much less influential over elected officials than the combined powers of most of the entertainment industries plus much of the tech industry.
Consider the codepoint U+1F4A9 ("PILE OF POO").

This encodes to the byte sequence F0 9F 92 A9 in UTF-8. Notice that every one of these bytes has a value > 0x7F, which means they're all outside the ASCII range.

That's one of the useful properties of UTF-8: you know that a code point requiring multi-byte encoding will never contain any bytes that could be confused for ASCII, because every byte of a multi-byte code point will be > 0x7F.

Which in turn means that if you use any processing mechanism that only alters bytes which are in the ASCII range, and passes all other bytes through unmodified, you are guaranteed not to modify or corrupt any multi-byte UTF-8 sequences.
Your sadness about it doesn't eliminate the need for the diagram. So it's not really an argument against the diagram.
Thanks very much for the info! I was actually able to find my call sign using http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp - that was a trip down memory lane, I remember my QSL cards and ones I had gotten from other hams. Fun looking into all the "new" stuff, feel a bit like Rumplestiltskin after 30+ years :)

I figured as much, since a similar insurance contract story was in Friday's newsletter and linked to this piece.
> I'll never understand why people are fine with our current system.

They are fine because the system operates at a level they cannot see, at least in most Western "democracies". It is also very preferable over dictatorships, arbitrary monarchies, harsh serfdom, feudal setups, Soviet style communism, access based capitalism such as in India, etc.

They have to find a way to get Joe Cubicle-Farmer producing for 40 years; doing it this way keeps away chaos and blood.
