Show HN: Totaling 800 open-source UI designs uploaded
Uploaded another batch of designs to https://uidesigndaily.com/

Also fixed some bugs and made some adjustments based on the feedback received from the soft launch.

Note for developers:

If you don’t have Sketch or a Mac, and you’d like to use a .sketch source file, remember that Figma is free to use, available for Windows and it opens the format!

I also found another awesome free software that opens them, and talked with the founder this morning. It is called Photopea (https://www.photopea.com/) check it out and show him some love.

What does open-source design even mean?

You can download the design source files and look under the hood. If open source code is checking out the recipe of a piece of software, open source design is the same thing for a design.

The designs on the site are also free to use, modify etc.
I actually think that part of the popularity of Postgres - and relational databases (RDBMS) in general - is that they are good enough for most analysis work.

Not specialist stuff, Postgres isn't really a competitor if your business is large or data-focused enough to be running OLAP (someone will probably link an OLAP extension now...).

But, most businesses just aren't that sophisticated in how they use their data.
I'm not sure, but hasn't it been like this since... 2018 or so? I thought all after-market upgrade possibilites were gone, because they started soldering the RAM and everthing else. Didn't knew you could upgrade any storage at all.

Exactly. Everybody can be a critic but few people have the faintest idea of how to do this without prolonging the suffering.

If it leaks and you have a mutiny that's a disaster.

Really, it's very lose-losel

People will feel betrayed no matter what.
The method you appear to be endorsing is, in my view, the opposite of open and transparent.

Let's say my company is going through rough times. We all know something is coming. Anxiety levels are up.

Let's say my leadership knows many of us are going to be laid off. They know I am going to be laid off. They give some vague heads up to us all so they can pat themselves on the back about how honest they are, but they won't tell us if we're on the chopping block. No, instead we will have individual meetings with our leadership over the next several days.

That's several days of my leadership knowing and not telling me. Several days of spiking blood pressure every time my boss wants to talk, wondering - is this it? Several days of not knowing what to tell my wife. Several days of not knowing what financial plans to make. Several days of trying to decipher facial expressions of the people around me.

Reasonable people can disagree. I can't tell you that you're wrong. But I can tell you that a vague announcement followed by days of waiting to see if the other shoe will drop does not strike me, personally, as open and transparent.
unnecessary? maybe. but if it comes for free with a toolkit, why not?
Yikes. This vaguely reminds me of Frostpunk. Things must be getting pretty bad in NYC.

Our cat incessantly "kneads" people (moves her feet up and down on us) and I am now thrilled at the idea of charging people for Cat Reiki
It’s painful and sad sad for those subjected to such poor leadership. However in the end things have a way of working themselves out.

Companies with leadership teams that are this poor tend to get washed out in the long run. Those let go just get a head start on moving onto what’s next. There are exceptions but the market does a decent job of dealing with this sort of behavior... eventually.

no engineer gets hired for writing docs; engineers performance is not measured by docs; even if some do get hired, they won't get paid that well;
Have you experienced this or are you imagining this could happen? My company closed a production line and people were told 12 months before. The whole process was very transparent . People took it really well and things kept moving along.
5M is big. Wow! I mean that’s a large enough number that if you did a LaunchHN with a $50/year subscription and only .01% subscribed, you can have a sustainable solo SaaS business with 250k ARR.
&tldr; The docs team created filled in the gaps where they were needed when it was created. Now, the teams making the code changes handle their own docs and doc changes. There is no longer a need for a docs only team.

So, instead of having a dedicated team for docs the load has shifted to the teams responsible for the code. Sounds like a reorg more than anything.
I agree. I don't buy the explanations reiki practitioners give of why it works; we don't need to resort to "healing energy". I just think that the act of gently touching someone who is in pain has significant positive effects, and that in hospital settings this is incredibly rare.

I'm not sure how much flexibility you have, but have you taken a look at Prometheus (for time series data) + Grafana (for dashboards)

I'm certainly not a DB expert, but this is where a similar need led me a few months ago.
You are right, we are in 2020 :D

October last year was the first presentation of the new design, a year before that was the presentation of the previous design, together with the "Dear Moon" mission.
This is wonderful to see and badly necessary, particularly in a country like the US, where most people do not have ability to cover a $500 surprise bill in normal times: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/most-americans-cant-handle-a-50... -- and we are definitely not in normal times.

Kudos to the NYC administration for putting this together so quickly.

> "There are, however, significant humanitarian implications of ceasing respirator supplies to healthcare workers in Canada and Latin America, where we are a critical supplier of respirators. In addition, ceasing all export of respirators produced in the United States would likely cause other countries to retaliate and do the same, as some have already done. If that were to occur, the net number of respirators being made available to the United States would actually decrease."

Can anyone shed light on the US administration's thinking here? I regard 3M's position, as stated, as being fair/ethical, but would like to hear another point of view. The company's release mentions recent collaboration with the administration on related matters, but does not say what the US has argued in this case.
In my view the direct managers of each employee should have a one-on-one with the laid off people to explain the situation. Takes some courage though.
That's not what your link actually says:

> He’s the Director of the Program in Placebo Studies, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and a professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School. His work on placebo effects has been a frequent topic right here on this very blog and has been a mixed bag. On the one hand, Kaptchuk sometimes does interesting work, but on the other hand he can’t seem to help himself when it comes to overselling it.

And frankly I think the idea stands on its own regardless of who it's coming from. We know that there are placebo effects that convey therapeutic benefits [1], and aren't currently sure exactly where these come from. But why not make use of them anyway? TFA points out that we did that with aspirin for decades, and are doing that with antidepressants right now (which [1] points out may be mostly industrialised placebo as well). This seems like good practical thinking.

It looks very Flutter-like, with Column, Text, and other elements. It seems it renders to canvas potentially, not sure though, if that's how the cross platform compatibility works, also like Flutter.

I notice that in many of these GUI frameworks that effort is duplicated. Flutter creates a lot of widgets for iOS and Android, but if you don't want to use Dart, we'll, you'll have to reimplement those widgets yourself again. Instead, what should happen is that they should compile to a standard format, most likely WASM, and then you can use any language (that targets WASM, which I think will be most of them in the future) to interface with those widgets or components. They can be in the form of a canvas renderer such as Skia, which is what Google uses for Chrome and Flutter, and also used by some other GUI projects like Revery for ReasonML. This way, there's one common format and people can write the functionality code in whatever language they'd like.

I have roughly the same experience. At the beginning I am sustained by the urge to get something done so I stop noticing warning signals and when I finally notice it is exactly because of inability to focus and because of mistakes I make.
NYC today, everywhere else in a few days/weeks. Without universal basic income, we are totally f@cked. 30-40% of people are without income and it's either soup kitchens and spike in crime, or UBI.
I thought the OODA concept was pretty cool when I first read about it and John Boyd. And it's fun to say. OODA Loop, OODA Loop, OODA Loop. But it has been seriously overused, to the point where nowadays it's just a shibboleth that "thought leaders" use to show their "edginess" or whatever.

The problem is that "orient" has no real meaning in most decision-making contexts, and watching people stretch it to fit is almost painful. Sure, if you adopt exactly the right point in the word's semantic field, and carefully distinguish it from its neighbors (Observe and Decide), and squint a bit, it can make sense, but good metaphors or acronyms don't work like that. They don't require a High Priest to provide interpretation. A better metaphor, which I learned in a talk on autonomous computers at a UC Berkeley CS retreat in ~2001, is:

* Measure

* Analyze

* Plan

* Execute

I might not have remembered the terminology exactly, let alone the acronym, but I think it's close. Steps 1/3/4 are roughly equivalent to the same in OODA, but step 2 is quite different. More about accuracy/completeness than about rapidity, though of course both are always important. I suppose one could substitute different words to make a catchier acronym like MAKE or MACE. If increasing dilettante appeal seems important, feel free. For me, the important thing is that we're not all fighter pilots and it's OK to have a qualitatively different decision process. Come up with your own metaphor, your own acronym, that fits your situation intuitively without such arduous adaptation.
We can hope that the language itself is similarly declared "done" at some point. That would be in contrast to C++ for example, where it's the job of a bunch of people to keep making changes ad nausium until it starts to crumble.
> At this point, I don't think anyone is really arguing that "masks don't work."

Yes, it's becoming an untenable position now.

People were taking a very different tone a month ago with "we should all be wearing masks when out" suggestions.

Hell, a week ago, HN was happily flagging pro-mask stuff off the front page with regularity.
Thanks for the link, that's quite interesting. While web browsers can implement their own DNS resolver, that's completely irrelevant when we're talking about an MTA. The server(s) the MTA(s) are running on have their own underlying resolvers which can be DNSSEC-compatible, or better yet, if you're using a public resolver like quad9, they validate the DNSSEC for you.

Edit: Not that I'm saying you should trust quad9 full-stop, but it is a nice feature. Anyone could run their own private resolver but most choose not to because of the very same privacy concerns we're talking about in these headers, namely - making your traffic easier to profile.
> Sure, but what if you sold your 3 year deal to an airline that is now effectively stuck in bankruptcy for the next 10 years. Or any of the 100 other industries/sub-industries that are completely shut down right now. If I can't afford to pay rent on my office I sure as heck am not paying Microsoft either.

I'm not clear such contracts make it through bankruptcy court.
The golden rule is the more they talk about it the less they have it.
Flagging for the unnecessarily editorialized headline. Mods, can you please reset it to something neutral sounding?
I always remember m4 encounters from autoconf struggles of building things from source a long time ago (slackware 6).

Back when I never cared about m4, Today, I find it interesting to understand what problem its trying to solve. I dont feel like its practical anymore but I think it is important to not discard use of old tools and understand them.
Well, let's see. Certainly going to happen in one form or another, may have organised spaced-out queue's at the locations but be bottlenecks getting there I do suspect.

But gets down to the people acting responsibly in the end. You can lead a horse to water but you just can't get them to queue in an orderly manner.
I remember from my intro to neuroscience that people who have lost all emotions due to stroke or brain injury are usually incapable of making even the most minor decisions. They are given two options for a doctor’s appointment and just can’t make up their mind.

I keep thinking about that anytime someone claims to have arrived at their strong-held opinions on purely “rational” arguments.

I've had it at home for a few months and it has been great, feels better than the Steelcase chair in my office.

The only imperfection is that I bought the additional headrest later, but was unable to adjust its height for some reason, so I returned it. But I think using the chair without the headrest actually fits its philosophy more, since it's easier to sit in all directions without the obstruction.

I use PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server. I love Postgres. There are some things that SQL Server does differently that I would love to see supported in Postgres:

* Protocol: (a) no wire level named parameters support; everything must be by index. (b) Binary vs text is is not great, and binary protocol details is mostly "see source" (c) no support for inline cancellation: to cancel a query client can't signal on current TCP connection, the client must open or use a different connection to kill an existing query, this is sometimes okay, but if you are behind a load balancer or pooler this can end up being a huge pain.

* Multiple Result Sets from a single query without hacks. While you can union together results with similar columns or use cursors, these are hacks and work only in specific cases. If I have two selects, return two result sets. Please.

* Protocol level choosing of language. Yes, you can program in any language, but submitting an arbitrary query in any language is a pain and requires creating an anonymous function, which is a further pain if your ad-hoc query has parameters. I would love a protocol level flag that allows you to specify: "SQL", "PG/plSQL", "cool-lang-1" and have it execute the start of the text as that.

I do love Postgres recently added Procs! Yay!

>Hugs are also beneficial and cause documented positive chemical changes in our bodies. No imaginary mystical forces or increased "vibrations" needed.

It's just a different theoretical framework for describing an observed phenomenon. Even if it's not technically correct, it can still be a good enough cognitive heuristic to help people intuit what's happening or how to influence it.

Think about it kind of like Newtonian mechanics, which are also not quite right but make predictions that are generally close enough for most of what we do in everyday life and much easier for people to work with intuitively.

I’d think the raw pressure-level input from the force sensors on the trackpad would be even more accurate. It’s essentially an array of transducers already.
There’s the rub though: what you’re proposing isn’t measuring “subtle energy” at all. It’s measuring whether or not there’s some phenomenon (possibly psychological) that brings pain relief. Your proposed test is only measuring the effect (which is a valuable test!), but not providing any insight into the mechanism of action.

Rust is more complicated than some languages with GC.

However, if you are writing some code with multi-threading (who isn't these days), then you may eventually want the help Rust gives you there as far as correctness goes.
I think I see what you mean, maybe there is a need to differentiate (individual conclusions "on their own", though there'd be arguments in favour of viewing those as political as well, etc.) But perhaps not at the expense of the term "political" (but rather introduction of some other term). Because it's simply not the case that something is necessarily apolitical "until such point as political parties start taking stances on cats". Some revolutions, changes in political regime, etc. happened not via the process of already existing political establishment systems (of which parliamentary parties is a mere (and not necessary (being descriptive here, not prescriptive)) subset of) accepting / incorporating / etc. some views at all (rather the exact opposite, say).

Also, "I don't like cats" is a sort of easy example to use here, but if you take e.g. "domestic violence should not happen", where do you draw the line in terms of when it becomes political (let's say you start a grassroots network where victims of domestic violence can support each other, and gradually build political capital, and so on)...

That said, differentiation along your lines is maybe useful, but severely redefining the scope of the term "political" seems a weird way to go about it.
