Ask HN: What is your current side project?
Hi all HN,

1) What is your current side project?

2) How did you get the idea?

3) What do you want to achieve with your current project? (Learn something new, make money, just for fun?)

4) What phase of the project are you on? (ideation, planning, building, launches, etc.)

I think it will be very inspirational and motivational for others if you share your experience.

Thanks
Heh. What does the password manager use OpenGL and ffmpeg for? I guess the binary is 130MB(!) is the electron part?
Do you have any data to prove that server-side rendering will lead to "faster" websites? The article definitely doesn't provide any.

Server-side rendering means the web page will be blank until the server responds. If a majority of the heavy lifting is done on the server, you increase the opportunity of slower server response times. That's a worse UX than a web page gradually loading on the client-side.

Things like CSS cannot be rendered on the server, yet CSS is often a bottleneck to rendering. Same goes for images and fonts. Where's the data showing "client storage" and "client compute" are the culprits of slow websites?
It's fair to identify accessibility as an area where Godot is currently lacking.

In addition to the tracking issue mentioned elsewhere, I'm also aware of this project which has the goal of improving accessibility within Godot--both for playing games made with Godot and also for making games in Godot (which is one benefit of the editor being built with the engine itself):

Yeah, his lectures are very well done. Starts with basics and builds up nicely.

How about people further than 50ms away from your server? Server side tendering gets old quite quick there.
Trust me, I'd love to create a JavaScript-free version of our app! But for now we are dedicating most of our time to communicating with projects, our users, and generating ideas for making a real impact in the climate crisis.
there are real benefits to SPAs.

Yes, but a lot of the benefits of SPAs and the libraries needed to work on them accrue to the developers, not the users.
Unfortunately this is completely false. Biggest contributor used to be real estate, but other advertising was a big contributor.

>You have responded in the wrong place.

I'd say it was the correct place.

>If the client-side hashing were not performed at all, it would still be impossible to correlate user passwords with other passwords in database dumps.

Right—assuming the passwords are gleaned from the database, for example. However, the entire point was that there's no need to do correlation of anything stored server-side in the first place when an attacker is reading the raw user password input as it comes off the wire. Client-side hashing brings this scenario roughly to parity with the protections afforded at the database level.

Database compromise? Server-side salt/hash.

Limited-scope server runtime or network-level compromise? Client-side salt/hash.

Again, it depends on the nature and scope of the exploit.

>But claim P1 is nonsense. It is true that user passwords on the server can't be correlated with other passwords in database dumps. But client-side hashing has nothing to do with that. If the client-side hashing were not performed at all, it would still be impossible to correlate user passwords with other passwords in database dumps.

Not when you're in possession of the user's non-hashed raw password input. That's correlation city, even in the strict literal sense you're talking here.

>It's correct that -- if the method of learning a user's password is to read their active TLS connection with the server -- the password learned by that method will not be useful on other third-party websites.

Then you finally cede that client-side hashing has value.

>Why are we describing an entirely spurious claim as "clear"?

I fail to see how it's spurious when we've established countless times throughout this thread that client-side hashing has value.

Do you think client-side hashing has value? Because your original comments seemed to emphatically deny that.
Another way you can lose connectivity is going into an area that has too many people. I went to Madras, Oregon to view the 2017 total solar eclipse.

Madras is a small town of about 7 000 people, in a county of about 25 000 people. Estimates are that around 100 000 people came there for the eclipse. The cellular infrastructure there was not able to handle the volume.

For the ~28 hours I was there, I was never once able to view a web page via cellular internet. I and a friend who also picked Madras to watch from tried to call each other a few times, and never got through. Most text messages we tried to exchange were lost, although we did each manage to get a couple through, although those came through hours after they were sent.

We both had T-Mobile. I don't know how AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon were doing.
There's additional issues with changing channels than just GOP sizes. For cable TV signals are still channelized into 6MHz channels. QAM modulation is used which gets about 40Mbps per 6MHz channel.

An MPEG transport stream is sent over that 40Mbps "channel". Inside of that transport stream are several elementary streams, each carrying either video, audio, or data/program information. A TV station will be carried by a combination of a video (MPEG-2/4) and audio stream. These streams are packetized such that a receiver won't get buffer underruns or overruns. The transport stream is further packetized. Adjacent station broadcasts aren't always carried on the same transport stream.

So when you hit the button to "change channels" the cable box may need to tune to a new radio channel, wait for transport stream packets for the station, and then buffer enough data to start playback.

The GOP size then plays a part because the decoder needs an I-frame to do anything useful with the P-frames inside the GOP. Cable providers use longer GOPs to get better quality at a given bitrate, I-frames are much larger than P-frames so the more you send the higher the bitrate you need.

Sending I-frames for other broadcasts in the same transport stream would be a waste of bandwidth. The data used for these rarely used extra I-frames takes away from bandwidth programming in the stream could use. There's also still the lag from tuning a new channel and waiting for those I-frames to show up. So you've wasted bandwidth for a very slight increase in responsiveness.
there's a really funny thing that happens with websites on phones. i try clicking something sometime after the page loads and just when i click it, bam! something new loads up on the page, all these elements shift up or down and what I just clicked on isn't at its place anymore and i end up clicking on something completely different. All this happens in split of a second just between the moments when I look and decide to click on something and before my finger actually does the tap. This is so so common across the mobile web. Such a stupid little thing but also highly annoying. Even if we could collectively solve this one little thing, i would consider our UI sensibility to have improved over the years.
Its a brand new rocket design. Massively bigger and designed to carry ~5x the weight. The entire thing is built to be reusable in the sense of a jumbo jet as opposed to a rocket. It should be able to carry ~100 people.

The Cleopatra’s Nose of 1914
Good to see! However, lack of auto-type [1] into non-browser windows has prevented me from being a 1Password customer for some years now. With KeePass, I can trigger the auto-type sequence of an entry matching the current window title with Ctrl + Alt + A. The sequence (eg. {username}{tab}{password}), match modality, and keyboard shortcut are all configurable as well. I make use of this frequently enough that I don't want to migrate - and I'd very much like to since I want to set it up for my family.

It's atrocious what the CCP under Xi is doing. And it's dismaying that other quasi-authoritarian countries are taking note. From Basil Rajapaksa (part of the political family in Sri Lanka responsible for various war crimes during the civil war):

“I want our party to be a party like the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and how they act... We have learned from many political parties in the world. The best two are the BJP and CCP.” From http://www.newswire.lk/2020/07/30/basil-wants-slpp-to-become....
It's not theft, it's honest trading. Traders buy things from willing sellers and sell to willing buyers, in financial products as in any other market.

There are two ways to make money as a pure market player: connecting buyers and sellers who wouldn't trade directly (and taking your cut) aka arbitrage, or getting paid to take on risk. Maybe the trader notices that people on the far side of the island are hungry but can't get a big mac without a long walk, so he buys as many as he can carry, walks over to the other side of the island, and sells them for a bit more than they'd cost on the dockside - that's the first kind of trading. Maybe a clamshell farmer wants to make sure they can afford enough big macs over the next year. They might agree to sell their next year's clamshell harvest at a fixed price (that's lower than the average), or buy their big macs for the next year at a fixed price (that's higher than the average), or both; the farmer loses value on average, but they offloaded their risk, while the trader makes money on average but has to carefully manage their risk.

The third thing is to actually take an active position in the market, if you can predict what's coming. E.g. if you realise the clamshell harvest will be big this year, maybe you sell a bunch of clamshells short. That should send a useful signal to all the farmers, and it means you make money if you predicted right.
Downvote me for this - If you're using China-made products, you're responsible for the bugger balls of CCP, unethical/illegal selling of human organs and what not.

They are no different from a radical terrorist organization.

He didn’t.

Like many teenagers do, especially in this kind of situation, he was looking down, not making eye contact. The police then order him to look at the camera to get their mugshot. We can probably assume they didn’t ask nicely.

It’s to the advantage of police that they take (and release) the very worst possible mug shot of their perp when they can get reactions like yours.
Yes but if it's your first offense in the world of multimillion dollar white collar crime you'll probably get an ankle monitor and house arrest. Or six months...

Yes, and the main culprit of JavaScript is excessive GC, because of excessive object-creation.

Developers are careless because JS is so fast, but they forget the hundreds of milliseconds of GC-pauses that occur because they never think about the memory they are allocating and throwing away each second.

High explosives burn too fast for regular flames and suck the oxygen out for subsequent burning. Though you can definitely see fire in the first few frames. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Adair got famous for putting out oil well fires with high explosives. Explosives on burn that fast due to their chemical structure not because of free oxygen in the atmosphere. So if you see a fireball, the explosion has slowed way down.

People are used to huge fireballs in movies because they just aerosolize gasoline or others for that effect. Also it's a lot safer than high explosives. High explosives are dangerous.

They measure carbon release from the soil of tree's, and data shows that the trees are storing more carbon (actually, releasing less carbon if I understand correctly) as they get older and larger, the trees referenced are 200+ years old now. I don't see anything to justify the 'warming world' mentioned in the title, but trees capture more carbon as they grow larger fwiw.

IQ tests were invented to identify children with learning disabilities. People have been (mis)using them in various ways ever since.

Some would indeed try to use IQ tests to validate their prejudices and proclaim that "science says dark-skinned people are not as smart as asians". Um, no. Science says we should stay humble and ask questions.

It was NOT promoted as a "prevention drug".

It was promoted as a treatment, especially when given early and as the regimen HCQ+ZINC+ZITHROMAX. DOXYCYCLINE was sometimes used instead of Zithromax.
The crazy part about choosing DuckDuckGo, is for tech searches, Google still wins, especially with how it gets latest things from Reddit.

> Most of the traffic came from desktop. At best it got to 50/50.

I think most of your early traffic is going to be biased towards the techie crowd who use desktops. They're also more likely to be using pro software.

Mobile users will probably find it more handy, and I think that's where most of your growth could come from.
It's funny to think of developers and users as two distinct constituencies with distinct interests. I had thought any good developer, by definition, would do what's best for the user. Therefore the interests of both groups are the same.

But I suppose you're right that the average developer is their own damn person with their own interests which can only ever partly align with their customer's.

I suppose there are actually three parties, all distinctly interested: the programmer, the employer, and the end user. The programmer wants to get paid and do "good work". The employer is actually a multipart entity: management and investors, each of which have distinct interests. The end user is not a single such person but a mass of individuals, each with a different set of interests.

This is getting messy!

The successors of GPT-3 might achieve that. They should be able to operate in both text and image/video domain, having all these modalities as both input and output, have a longer context window and be up to date with the recent news/publications in the domains of interest of the user.

But fundamentally it shows it can be done. It's a general language interface to a massive trove of knowledge and can perform a yet undetermined number of symbolic manipulation and reasoning tasks. A future version could be VR enabled, creating a holodeck like experience - something that could prove to be very addictive.

The point that stuck out to me which I haven't seen people comment on is the difference noted between those who stayed close to home vs. somebody who travels across the world for prestige.
