Nature works with MVPs, that's why you have fingers on your feet and an appendix that has a tendency to inflame.

Perhaps by the time your solid, perfect solution is out, society will have moved on. Solutions aren't permanent - we want artificial organs now, but if you take too long to get them into market, by the time you do we'll all have robotic organs already.

Reality moves fast and everything is an MVP, a means to an end.

I know by solid you don't mean perfect though, just trying to give a different perspective.
If the incentives would've been right there's no reason this should've been the case. Large media companies don't make money form being in the Facebook newsfeed, but rather from the traffic redirected from there.
Not even that: marking it as incompatible will render the app listing invisible for those devices (in both top lists and searches), and if you do reach the listing directly then the install button will be disabled.

Pulling the nuclear option for something with clear workarounds (or which only impacts peripheral features) is unacceptable.
What do you do to keep yourself motivated? Especially when you hit something you hate to work on but is necessary.

I don't really know how to tell you anything useful on this. A lot of my motivation seems to just be an intrinsic part of my personality. I don't generally have a hard time being motivated. I just love the process and act of building things.

Of course there are times when I hit the "schlep"[1] stuff, which is not as enjoyable. How I grind through that is just by reminding myself that it's inevitable and necessary, and that all the other hard work I put in will be worthless if I don't get this unpleasant stuff done and complete the project.

Lastly, and to be completely honest... as much as I enjoy building for the sake of building, I do also have financial goals. There are things I want to do, see, experience, etc., that require more money. And I see the projects I work on as a path to potentially being more wealthy than I am today. So while you may accuse me of being shallow, I do occasionally pick up an issue of Top Gear magazine, or Motor Trend, or whatever, and look at the cars I'd love to own one day, and remind myself "this is one of the reasons I work hard, and grind through the schleps". Or maybe it's a travel guide to some exotic locale I'd like to visit, or whatever.

And while it's (apparently) "politically incorrect" in this day and age to have, and openly acknowledge, a desire to attain significant wealth, I posit that there's nothing wrong with a drive to gain wealth, and to use that as a form of motivation.

So yeah, my motivation is a mixture of both intrinsic and extrinsic, but it's really more the former. I'd love building software even if I didn't get paid for it at all, and even if I weren't trying to build something to sell.

definitely not an easy journey :D to learn to write x64 OS. After getting paging and interrupts it plunged me into the depths of compilers / assemblers / file formats and linking & loading all to be tackled at the same time :'D would use ELF to prevent 2 of the topics, but where's the fun in that :D

like these articles too as they are fairly complete where a lot of other tutorials omit a long of things or are just some scattered collection of information which is hard to put into a project.
The one thing to keep in mind about running a VPN on AWS is that some services just block whole AWS net blocks to stop scrapers.

For instance I used to run a VPN on a free tier micro instance, and I remember not being able to hit Yelp or StackOverflow from a VPN.
Wouldn't you need some sort of intercepting MITM HTTPS proxy to be able to inspect the traffic for ad content? Thought Google was using https and legit domains to drive ads instead of just doing lookups to youtube-ads.google.com etc.

Presumably you'd need a way to inject a cert into the Apple TVs trust store as well, and I'm unclear if that is possible. Perhaps with a developer license?

Indeed, that is NodeBB's business model (and the same model as many other forum software companies, come to think of it).

We provide fast support to anyone that wants it, and peace of mind to companies that utilise our product. We are, in essence, domain knowledge as a service.

Many people have tried to undercut us, which is a great way of keeping us honest, but there's nothing quite like getting support from the guys who wrote the software :)

My only regret is that I cannot support everyone who wants to use NodeBB, for a price point accessible to all.
I am not contracting at this point, but I have done a lot of it in my past.

The answer is, it depends on what the NDA & your contract says. Generally in my contracts I used to always have a clause that allowed me to say who and what project I was working on, and it overrode the NDA for that sole purpose. There were a few exceptions when a project was stealth of course which is fine.

Mine basically spelled out what I could say, basically it was generally: who, what, when and basic goals. Outside of that and you have to get permission usually. I also still to this day don't list them on my resume by name, but instead by basic details. When I talk with people I will say who/what and that lets them know I have the chops which can be validated through contracts or references in certain cases. To be fair, usually the talks come first then if they need further due diligence they see my resume. When I was contracting it was super rare anyone on my team had to produce a resume for clients, except for the largest of clients who wanted more to vet and frankly to get them in their contact list to try and poach them later. No matter what was in the contract about anti poaching, every person who produced a resume would suddenly find themselves in headhunters sites or in corporate recruiting systems (mine included sometimes).

> sending push notifications when your app needs

How do you think push notifications work? There isn't some magic in LTE to wake up your phone. Your phone needs to keep a connection open in the background and periodically wake up the modem to check for new information.

I use Conversations (XMPP client) on Android, it keeps a plain old TCP connection open in the background and honestly it does not much battery at all. It's consistently at the bottom of battery usage according to my phone.

Its the opposite lens of most the other advice. The others look at the mid 20s as a time to have fun, quit jobs you don't like, etc. This advice is purely fiscal - you earn in a prime position to earn money, so maximize that value while you can. All the advice agrees the mid 20s is a prime, but 80% is prime for fun/living while this one is prime for money.

Still good advice, just a funny juxtaposition.

I run a podcast hosting service. Every day we push between 20 and 30GB of RSS feeds out into the world. In the same time frame, we push about 150KB of JSONFeed data.

RSS is a clunky tool that's difficult to extend. Extensions end up being duplicated by vendors that consume the data in slightly different ways. The ability to embed rich content in a feed is limited and nonstandard. To your average user, the functionality comes off as "this seems broken" instead of "what an amazing ubiquitous standard." If I had a quarter for every support request about why "Podcast App X isn't showing my links" I could cut my prices. RSS is not a good format.

On top of that, it has obvious omissions. There is no standard way to do pagination. Podcast feeds need to include _every episode_ with full metadata for the back catalog to be available. For podcasts that publish every day for years, this adds up to megabytes. If you think parse/execution times are bad with JS, imagine the work your phone is doing when it chews on a few meg of XML every half hour for all those shows you're subscribed to that don't publish episodes anymore.

RSS is bad and broken. It still works, but it's like IRC (or how IRC used to be): it solves the core needs of many people in the most mediocre way possible and everything else is a hack or just outright doesn't work. I really wish there was enough demand for a better standard.

It makes sense why orgs choose not to use GPL software, though. For those reliant on proprietary tech, it's a loose thread in a knit sweater.

I worry that backing orgs like MongoDB are being punished by their position, to the extent that their ability to operate will cease, which will hurt that project potentially.

So in essence, GPL has a problem, whether or not it is the problem.
> as well as showing a vital misunderstanding about UX

The third party controlling your user's experience is forcibly killing your application while it's in use as intended. This somehow means you are misunderstanding UX?

People are suggesting ways to detect it and teach the user how to stop it, because they have no automated solution to this problem.
>a vital misunderstanding about UX.

What misunderstanding would that be exactly? App developer has to find a way to help customers work around an issue they cannot resolve themselves. Seems reasonable to me.

If it's necessary then motivation is irrelevant. You don't have to be motivated, you have to work.

Your problem isn't motivation, it's not understanding that not all work is, or needs to be, pleasant, or intrinsically enjoyable.

People on HN would do well to print off the comment thread here about Dropbox [1] and how it could be replicated "quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem" and hang it on their wall where it's easy to look at.

10 years later they're top 100 on Alexa, publicly traded on Nasdaq, with a market cap of nearly $9b with revenue of $360m with over 12m paying users. What's "quite trivial" to the HN audience is pure magic to everyone else.

> Let me stop you right there. The replication crisis has shown repeatedly, across disciplines that have testable hypotheses, that bad articles are accepted in academic journals.

The replication problem is worse the less rigourous the field. The hoax authors managed to publish their first 7 articles, with 20 more still in review IIRC, over the span of 10 months. They were quite confident that the rest would have gone through had some journalists not prematurely unearthed their subterfuge.

For instance, in the dog park paper, the authors claimed that they had inspected the genitals of 10,000 unique dogs in a single dog park over a short time span, and then questioned the dog owners on their sexual orientation. If you can even look past the absurdity and take it seriously, the sample being analyzed is clearly biased in various ways. What dog park would have 10,000 unique dogs and owners visiting in such a time frame? How is this a representative sample? What sort of owners would be open to strangers fondling their pet's genitals and then questioning their sexuality?

Each paper had distinct and meaningful bias or clear cherry picking injected into the data, and not a single one of them was caught in review. The hoax authors have emphatically claimed that this field is more akin to theology than any kind of meaningful science, where any paper that reinforces the orthodoxy gets published, no matter the methodological flaws, and that's what they attempted to demonstrate (and they did I think). This result is far, far worse than the replication crisis.

> I'm assuming you're talking about the conclusion many have drawn - which I think is pretty uncontroversial - that science, logic and math are not fields free from bias.

No, I mean quite literally that these "academics" think that the scientific method, and that logic and mathematics itself, are tools of white oppression. I won't vouch for the rest of the site, but the description presented here is a decent introduction to the "reasoning" they employ: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/07/the_scienti...

I still use it. Here is the fun part. I was able to use a IR filter with a lens adapter and create infra red film quality images after removing RGB layer. That was such a cool trick.

Now..I had been trying to take infra red photos with film for years and I totally sucked at it. It was expensive and it was tricky. You couldn’t use just any camera because anything with electric features would leave a mark on the film because light acted different on IR film/aperture ..it was heat that registered. And gosh..one couldn’t find a place to process it. Every shot was hit and miss. I don’t think I made even one good IR film print.

And then..it all changed with the G1 IR lens hack. I was so excited that I told everyone and blabbed endlessly. I did invite scorn mostly as it was considered ‘cheating’. The older photographers wouldnt stop pontificating about the virtues and glory of IR in film media.So I just stopped teaching people the trick. Suckers!

Anyways..it won’t work with other digital P&S cameras that came later. To me, G1 was almost SLR quality because of the Carl Zeiss lens. Even with the focal length magnifier aspect!

Fast forward many years and I got a DSLR(D3 and then canon D6). This trick sadly wouldn’t work with the new dslr cameras...it has something to do with a sensor light hitting the mirror.(sorry. I forget).

And then I found out that someone made conversions for several hundred dollars but it would mean that it will only take IR shots(images still has to be digitally manipulated..the alteration was inbthe camera..not the lens or lens filter..). Also. It needed a dedicated lens and it was fixed. You can’t use different lens interchangeably. But it was still worth it for me. When I finally got a second DSLR many years later, I sent my old canon for the conversion and I think I use a 50 prime lens with it. It’s an older dslr and still has the 1.6x multiplier. It’s ok. With digital tweaking, I can now print 20x30 prints(Hellooooooo, Costco!!!) that is borderline medium format quality. It’s better with landscape shots than portraits. Altho IR can make a wrinkly 70 year old look like a teenager with gorgeous clear skin.

How things have changed since film days! I enjoyed this one. Thanks for posting!
I've been trying to move away from Network Solutions (now web dot com) for years and NameCheap was the closest to a halfway decent registrar I could find. That said, I don't like them or any of the other registrars. Most of the registrars have been bought up and their backend wrapped with some other companies junk UX. I also tried name dot com. They don't even have the capability to set apex DNS names as NS records. Black Knight closed my account with no reason at all. The only halfway decent registrar is Mark Monitor and they are too expensive for my hobby sites. I always move corporate DNS and Cert management to Mark Monitor, but for personal use, all the popular registrars are just garbage, in my strong jaded opinion. MM is just a reseller of certs and they don't even offer all the capabilities of the vendors they resell.

I am purposefully staying away from AWS. They are super popular right now and developer friendly, but I know how their business operates and that popularity will subside in a few years. I predict many of their users will feel betrayed at some point in the future after enough people have moved to their DNS.

Family. Literally everyone wants to retire near their family, kids, and grandkids.
For me, the key things are:

- Security. You don't need to store any secrets in your dotfiles repo, and instead delegate secret storage to LastPass or Bitwarden or similar.

- Fine-grained control of small differences across machines, accounts, and operating systems. For example, I want my ~/.zshrc to be roughly the same between my personal macOS laptop and my work Ubuntu server, but I need a few differences between them due to email address, paths to binaries, and OS-specific configuration.
