It's not so much the destination but how you get there. I can't recommend this method to anyone.
The problem is that as far as I can tell, they really are the easiest to use (it is Stripe, I didn't want to bash on them but I guess it's important if this veers into recommendations). I don't have a particularly complicated setup, but basically every little thing is impossible (just stupid stuff like if I cancel the last item on a subscription it will fail instead of canceling the subscription, so I always have to make an API call to check if the subscription only has one item, and if so cancel that, and if not cancel the specific item the user is dropping. It's insanely irritating the amount of weird little workarounds I have to do for oddities in the API, or where one API concept isn't consistent with another, etc.

If there's something out there that's simpler and has documentation that isn't constantly just wrong, I'd love to hear about it.

Leading Edge x86 with a 30 Meg hard drive. I think it had turbo (8 MHz instead of 4.77), but I'm not sure - it's been kind of long time. 5 inch floppies.

The first one I had real access to use was a TRS-80 (model 2?) at school. Cassette tape for I/O. I learned the hard way not to leave a cassette on top of the microwave at home...

Pictures are definitely helpful, but a microchip isn't the easiest thing to remove and, since they're meant to be permanent, asking a vet to remove one should certainly raise a few eyebrows — if not end with the vet looking up the owner's information.

I get your sentiment, but like all color folks who say to white folks, " you just don't understand what it means to be colored in everyday life."
But you should not be ashamed to be white.
I'm reminded of the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal, where VW were doing something illegal and were whistle-blown by a developer, costing them billions of USD in fines and massive damage to their brand.

Just because something is ultra high risk, stupid, illegal and abuses consumers isn't apparently enough of a reason for large corporates not to do it.
Because reputation spreads. The linguistics department understands that the literature department's behavior does not reflect on the chemistry department, but the electorate seems not to grasp that so easily. Since STEM depends heavily on government to fund basic research, STEM's progress can definitely be impeded by widespread mistrust of academia as a whole.
Algo user here -- it's really great for ISP-oriented privacy protection. I have a $5/month droplet running Algo in DigitalOcean, and an auto-on mobile config on my iPhone that uses it when I'm not on WiFi.

I also set up my home pfSense router to route all traffic through it (via an IPSec/IKEv2 tunnel). This works great, except when we're using Netflix or Amazon video -- I have to turn it off since those services block DigitalOcean IPs. Still haven't figured out how to configure the pfSense tunnel to route requests to those services through my ISP instead.
No, unfortunately not.
I think "luck" is mostly a bucket that we put all of the factors we couldn't have properly planned for into, so it seems that unconscious bias expressed by insiders in an industry/movement could easily describe a lot of what we might normally chalk up to "bad luck". My point isn't to say "that is definitely what happened", just that the notion that "luck favors men" isn't as ridiculous of a proposition as you seem to imply.

Put another way, every interaction we have with other people, no matter how brief or long lasting, contributes to that person's "luck" based on whether those interactions ended up favorable or unfavorable. If there was a present unconscious bias in a group that slanted the probability of a person's interactions with everyone else in that group (even if it just slanted it a bit) due to a personal characteristic, that would manifest itself as "bad luck" for group of people that had this characteristic who received this statistical slight.

I realize this post may come off as abrasive, but here it goes.

> but recent news has made it clear to me that travel is one of the human obsessions that is destroying this world and that the future will not happen:

If you think that impending climate change (/climate catastrophe) is significantly impacted by the "human obsession" of travel, you are drinking someone else's kool-aid and pulling wool over your eyes as to the real causes (industry greenhouse gas emissions, industry and non-industry energy generation, and agriculture).

>My advice, for all age groups, is to enjoy what you have now and don't have kids-

My advice for all age groups is to take with a massive grain of salt what a 23-year old suggests to you, perhaps going as far as to completely discount any "life advice" given by this demographic. And I'd also suggest to make a decision about having or not having children based on your life circumstances rather than some absurd claim (coming below) that the world sucks.

> the world even 10-20 years from now isn't one worth living in.

We get it; you're a pessimist. People have espoused this same sentiment for decades (actually, centuries or longer).
what about grandsons?
> Parity is an open source license

No, it isn't: https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical

A few issues:

> 3. Contribute software you develop, deploy, monitor, or run with this software.

That goes farther than the OSI, FSF, or DFSG allows, extending into software that is not in any way derived from the licensed software.

It's also not obvious from the license that it allows private modifications that aren't distributed to anyone.

> To contribute software, publish all its source code, in the preferred form for making changes, through a freely accessible distribution system widely used for similar source code

This requires that you publish your code publicly, rather than just providing it to those you provide binaries to.
Unless you worked for some orgs I've worked for where info was siloed in different systems that didn't talk to each other well, and nobody wanted to spend the resources to unify or coordinate it all.

This is why I wrote 'indirectly'

The most valuable thing I can give him is passion. It's not my responsibility to direct it towards a preferred venue, rather to expose him to the world in a safe way that allows him to explore what makes him happy.

Accountability and candidness allows people to trust in you and forms the foundation of good leadership. Productivity allows one to drive their efforts towards their passion into tangible product or work produced.

If he can create value and convince others that he is consistent in his beliefs, then it is my hope that the world will allow him to grow to his fullest potential.

It's my hope that by observation of some of these core values being actively expressed by my own actions, it will make it easier for him to adopt them as he matures.

You keep referring to "JSON," but the parent post referenced "JSONFeed." The question you should be looking at isn't whether JSON is somehow better than XML in an objectively measurable way; it's whether JSONFeed is somehow better than RSS in an objectively measurable way.

And in fact, JSONFeed does resolve that issue for podcasts that don't publish anymore, because it has an "expired" key that indicates that. One of the other problems that the parent post mentioned has to do with pagination, and JSONFeed handles that issue, too -- which again, RSS doesn't. JSONFeed also supports attachments in a better fashion, allowing for alternate representations of the same thing (e.g., different audio formats). Extensions are baked into JSONFeed rather than being a slightly dubious hack. The spec also supports things that have become common in the last decade-plus that RSS and Atom simply don't handle, from simple things like including favicons and banners to real-time notification endpoints.

https://jsonfeed.org/version/1

JSONFeed has come up before on HN and the same kind of "why do you think it's better because it's JSON" questions came up. I guess we can argue about whether the bike shed looks better when it's painted with braces or with angle brackets, sure. But it's not the JSON part that makes JSONFeed better; it's the "we've thought about what we've learned in the 16 years since RSS was last materially updated" part that makes it better.
I had an extremely easy gov contractor job that paid really well, used my skills, and I worked with great people. I still was living for being off work.

When to Schedule Meetings, Take Breaks, and Quit Your Job – 2019
Exactly. There is no work with only enjoyable and fun parts. It's called work after all.
I embrace these parts of a project by remembering that I will learn the most not by having fun but by wading through shit that leaves marks.
I can verify this as well. I worked on a separate team from Ken, but while we were there, we faced a lot of issues that led the team to decide upon and codify these rules. They are pretty tried and true, if only because they came out of a lot of iteration and testing.

Hope you are doing well, Ken!
I think the Shuffle is a great form factor.

The Stone did have one other significant advantage -- from my computer's perspective, it was just a flash drive. I believe iPods really, really want you to interact with them using iTunes.
Wow, the HN filter ignored my advice completely, refusing to post my comment. It was a shorter version of engaging more in the recreational form of reproductive activity, while your body is in its prime.
Ask HN: How are your feature teams organized/structured?
As companies grow, it's not uncommon for feature teams to reorganize and focus on different things. What works for small teams may not necessarily work for bigger teams. I'm curious how your teams are organized, especially for SaaS companies. Hopefully this can help me (and others) think about team structures in different ways.

- How many people in your engineering org?

- What kind of engineering disciplines exist in your org?

- Are you organized by "feature", "product", "initiatives", "deliverable", "discipline" or something else?

- How big are your teams?

- Who is in your team? How many devs, QA, PM, DB, etc.?

- Does each team have a "lead"?

- Who drives the team? Product, engineering or some other interest?

- How are things like infrastructure and architecture handled between these teams?

- What's working/not working?
Do your incidents have Priorites (Severity in the article)? At my company a printer would never be a P1 to P2 therefore no one gets paged at 3am due to printer issues.

It’s not full proof and my team did get a P1 due to a field length being too short but it was during normal business hours. It was quickly changed to a P4 and the person who opened it got a lesson on Incident priorities.
I should try contacting support; thanks. Some of the weird things I've run into are so poorly thought out that I can't believe they'd actually be an intentional part of their product. I've talked to some developers on their IRC channel, but typically (and this is something I strive as hard as possible not to do on my own projects), they were just so used to it that they couldn't understand why anyone wouldn't know how parts of the system worked even if it wasn't documented.
We use it to keep track of all
Of our tasks and projects. Switched to it after getting annoyed with Asana and not wanting to use something like Jira. We love how freeform it is and allowed us to create a workflow that fit us.

There are some gripes I have with it, notifications are still hit or miss despite talking to support about it multiple times - they’ll be delayed or missed altogether if you’ve recently opened the iOS app or have the desktop app open on another computer. Search still needs some love. It should probably weigh recently opened pages higher. And I’d love it if the Mac app was native instead of electron based.

Their team is pretty responsive when messaging them so that’s a huge plus.
This isn't self-hosted? I'm interested in a self-hosted solution that uses local markdown files and directories to manage content.

MongoDB is choosing a dinosaurs business model, and it's going to hurt them and their ecology.

Mongo the org should play MongoDB like Google does Kubernetes, Golang, Chromium, etc. Have your people in there, funded, steering the project as 'FOSS' while you release actual products.

Mongo dropped the ball by having no on-ramp product like GCPs Firebase. Their Cloud provider hate is just a flailing reaction to bad business and existential fear.

Stop being a crybaby when someone makes a few forms and buttons that spins up a vm with your DB software running. Of course cloud providers would want a tight integration with their systems.

Managed Kubernetes on AWS makes k8 stronger, managed Firecracker on GCP and Azure makes Firecracker stronger.
It doesn't have the technology or the manufacturing capability?
These are software companies. These devices support OTA updates, including changing the activation word. It's trivial to change the activation word to empty or something innocuous. Ergo, there's no hardware limitation.

If your argument stems from "Google and Amazon would never do that," I do not trust any corporate entity to value my rights more than their ability to make a dollar.
I love the idea, I guess the form will change when there will be more content.

Ask HN: Similar to Loebner Prize for a voice conversational bot?
The Loebner Prize is the oldest Turing Test contest that evaluates text chatbots.

Similarly, are you aware of a test set for evaluating human-like capabilities of a voice bot?

OR any other literature that talks about the characteristics a bot should have, to sound human-like?
Exactly. That's been one of the core problems with the 80s-style in-store "chewers".
The sheer age of the tablets is astounding; two thousand years before the fall of Troy, there are accountants tabulating sheep! One thousand years before the fall of Troy there were other accountants tabulating sheep, to whom the first set of accountants would have seemed unspeakably distant.

I haven't used either one in some time, but I would reframe the question: what makes you think this is similar to Basecamp?

If you're familiar at all with Basecamp, 10 seconds on the page makes it clear how different it is. If you're not, I guess I don't understand why the question is asked.
Or, you could use a qualitative word: many, tons, a plethora...

Let's save the quantitative words for actual quantities.

There's few things worse than someone stating something or giving advice and then saying, "Well, I obviously didn't mean what I said".

Better to take some time to mean what you say IMO.
Seems like this is a common theme amongst people working on side projects. My 5c is that you do two things to get to release:
1) Cut down to all but the essential, think what really means Minimum, Viable and Product
2) Have a task board - its a good motivation to watch how you burn down through it
3) Keep your eye on the higher goal - the boring or hard parts are a means to an end here

As far as personal experience - took me 6 years to launch with the bulk happening in 6 months where I've decided I WILL LAUNCH FFS.
Billing is a PITA and am actually dealing with it at this exact moment. It's crap, always will be, but my motivation is that this is what will aid making money which will keep the project alive, so yeah, means to an end.
Lastly, I will launch if it kills me - I'm still kicking but have probably spent way to much time and nerves on some stuff.

I guess take it as a challenge and look at it like this:
Only the ones that go through it all get to the end, all others just abandon it and fail. Be the one that sees it through.
Haha, I don't really know but the name cracks me up. You should take a shot at it and the report back any problems you hit so they can improve it for n00bs.

Also it is ironic because all modern cellphones have the whole smart speaker thing built into them but people aren't freaking out about that in the same way

Actually, they are.

The majority of "ordinary" people I interact with believe Facebook is listening to their conversations 24/7. It's been brought up multiple times on HN.
Sony produced a device that let you put a memory stick into the floppy drive. It had 3 coin cells to let it work as an emulator for the floppy disk for reads and writes. Seriously.
And don't waste decades thinking you're not that smart.

Some people have prodigious technical skills. They'll use absolutely all of their abilities to try to lift the truck off the baby, and the wall of equations they produce while failing will make you feel like you don't belong.

Don't confuse this with intelligence. It's not. The best answers are simple.

At the end of the day, everyone important is on some kind of defacto on-call (you don't think the head of sales will be woken up for the #1 customer, or the whole marketing team won't be pulled in on a Sunday if there's a big negative story in the NYT?).

A major benefit of PagerDuty is making it explicit how much you're burdening a specific on-call person or team. Some of the new stuff around team health is a great way to show managers "hey, we're pushing unfinished code that's ruining my team's work-life balance, we need to fix our procedures"

(Disclaimer: former PD employee, was on-call for years & learned how to police my work life balance pretty well)
No, it doesn't. When you are under a criminal investigation, even if you're innocent (Especially if you're innocent), the first thing you should do is sit down, and the second thing you should do is shut up. The third thing you should do is get a lawyer.

If you're not a legal expert (And even if you are a legal expert), you have no idea what the impact of saying anything at all, be it false, true, or somewhere in the middle, will have on your case.
This is one thing I've wanted. A local app that lets me store all my data with markdown syntax, syntax highlighting, in local files and directories, specifically for macOS although a cross platform app would be fine. One that doesn't require an account or the internet at all for it to work. I've wanted this kind of app for many years (and wouldn't be opposed to making it if no existing solution is all that great at it).

Counterpoint:

Battery life consumption rarely comes up as a feature bullet-point for an app writer, because visibility on whether a given app is a battery hog is low (both for developers and users). There are a couple of reasons iOS was so draconian about background processes for most of its history, and this was one of them. This ecosystem shift puts pressure back on developers to get creative and ask hard questions about how much energy they really need to consume for their tasks.

One issue is that these first furtive steps in that direction may not be putting the tools in the developers' hands to do that well. But everything in software starts at an early phase.

(It'll be interesting to see whether the market prioritizes battery life by getting the phones implementing these features or app richness by treating these phones as "damaged" and routing around them. This site certainly helps customers make that choice).
Intrinsic motivation is really hard - but getting positive feedback from your peers rocks - so just share it - I threw a link to a github repo out over the weekend just because, and ended up on the HN front page and nearly 400 stars. That simple act meant I now have a new side project near the top of my list that I was not expecting and you know what - it feels really nice - people liked it enough to say nice things and comment.

Just throw it out there and see what happens - you don't even need the billing. Just give us all a guest pass for a month - you might be pleasantly surprised.
Public housing costs more than $400,000 per unit to build [0], assuming you can find a site that the neighbors won't kill.

Increase the city income tax from 1.5% to 15%. You'd need around 9 $300k households, each contributing $45k, to build low-rent housing for one family.

Worst advise, period.
Launch without billing. You can implement that later. "Free while beta! Early adopters will get a special discount!"

Make sure you are breaking up work into small releasable steps. You should get the "oooh ahh" feeling of tangible accomplishment at least a couple times a week.

Get users as quickly as possible. As soon as you have one real user, it suddenly feels like you're participating in the real world instead of working in a hole. Announce changes to your users; positive feedback from them is emotionally buoying, negative feedback is an opportunity to fix what you just broke.

Create a facebook group/mailing list/forum/whatever for your early adopters. The community will help motivate you.

Spend time refactoring. Whether or not the investment will pay back with more productivity is irrelevant; clean code improves your quality of life and makes you look forward to work and that alone makes it worthwhile.

Yes of course it is. I do research so I don't have any customers yet.
Google Photos allows users unlimited storage when storing photos in their proprietary format. I see a 90-day buffer per user consuming roughly the same amount of storage.

Also disingenous to consider the smart speaker that works without cell reception in the same category. Those that require cell reception to work are just as circumspect as Alexa/Google.
