These streaming services need some way to identify the number of viewers. I'm sure there'll always be some ways around this (there already is via piracy), but they'd want something better than just asking you how many people are watching and charging $10 per person.

I can't think of any ways that aren't big problems from a basic privacy perspective such as a camera in your TV watching you.
Microsoft Bug Bounty Programs Year in Review: $13.7M in Rewards
Hi! We're hiring a lead iOS person (remote) to join a new home entertainment startup that sits at the intersection of Hollywood and Silicon Valley.

Our team so far consists of an ex-youtube designer, an Oscar/Grammy/Golden Globe award winner, and me (co-founded Timehop, was a designer at Snapchat)

For the right senior person, this could be a late-stage cofounder CTO type amount of equity and responsibility too!

Show HN: Collaborative text editor with PouchDB and ProseMirror
Hey there!
I co-authored this article about a web-based collaborative editor. The main trick is that by using PouchDB's sync functionality we can do client-server communication without a custom WebSocket layer, making everything easier.
By the way, we're looking for gigs, mainly with Node/React/TS.
I'd _really_ appreciate any kind of feedback!

Use local vaults and you can firewall the application. Sync a different way and somebody would have to compromise 1Password and the sync service to get your passwords. Use a 1Password account and you have to use your master password in a web browser to manage your account.
>As near as I can tell the criteria for the us government getting involved is you have natural resources and you mistreat your people. Neither one alone seems to be sufficient.

the US seems to be pretty chill about saudi arabia, which does have oil and mistreats people. I'm sure the rest of the countries around that region aren't exactly a bastion of human rights either.
Maybe. Also part of the RDF. I've met many Apple people who seem to believe that even today, high end Dell laptops etc. are all still SATA.

Apple's drives are no longer faster. They're fast. But high end PC drives are just as fast (and usually 1/3 the price).

Ahh! This is so cool!! Really neat idea, very slick.

Played around with the demo, very well done! I love the walk-through.

Small issue: I noticed you can click on multiple music/sounds and they start to stack with each playing over the other (using Windows/FireFox). That was the only issue I encountered during a quick play-through.

Good luck!
For sure there is a lot of competition in online video tools.
I think you’ll get more traction with serious companies if you’re willing to reveal your identity or otherwise meet the companies half way.

Typing your startup idea into a web form for an anonymous team of 3 engineers and 1 product manager who claim to be highly capable at executing startup ideas doesn’t sound like a very good idea. Your intentions are most likely good, but you have to realize that your approach is identical to what someone might use to fish for their own startup ideas to poach:

> If you are still worried than just provide as much detail as you're comfortable with, but understand that not getting the full picture may result in us being less excited about your project.

> Be sure to include any relevant business relationships or other advantages that you and your team bring to the table.

I personally would advise small startup founders against entering their business ideas in full detail with your advantages spelled out without at least knowing who’s on the other end of the form. Especially if the people warn that they might not be excited enough unless you give them all of your details anonymously first. That’s not how these arrangements should work.

To the OP: Best of luck in your job search.
Honestly, despite my op, the one I would really like is the park management one. The one that lets you designate custom size parks and stuff. I mostly got disheartened and pollutey when I realized I couldn't turn the large forest into a park. So I cut it all down and proceeded to lower the quality of life for all.

I was tempted once to grab them all during a sale, it would have been $40 down from like $160 or something, but I also don't want to get sucked into a game like that. Games like civ and simcity eat too much time i've been down those rabbit holes before. Even as it is I spent literally two days straight doing nothing but playing this game when I started that map.
This looks great! What stack is it built on? How long did it take you to build?

I'd love to learn about how you decided to build it, scoped out what features to build and cut, the whole behind-the-scenes. Pretty please! :D
As long as it makes sense when you read it after a few days (i.e. its well organized) and it also works as expected, then you are probably doing well.

Javascript is actually incredibly fast on most devices, especially if you are constraining yourself to the vanilla API and not something like jQuery. Remember, every web browser's JS engine has been hyper-optimized to support decades of half-assed website implementations.

It's really hard to screw up perf on document.getElementById(). There's honestly not a whole lot of ways to hang yourself with the vanilla methods unless you are trying to build something ridiculous like a raytracer or physics engine.
It's obvious that planting more trees (lots more trees) are an important component to reducing atmospheric carbon levels.

I'm astonished that there aren't national programs globally aimed at en-forestation.

(Trees also provide building materials - what a great way to sequester carbon!)
I'm on the younger side, it's very addictive. People love to come up with wild theories for why the app blew up, but I think it's just pure algorithmically curated fun.
> the main reason we settled on Brotli was the second order context modeling

This advanced feature is only relevant on reaching compression levels 10 or 11, which are extremely slow. Below that, it's barely used by the encoder, due to memory and cpu taxes.

Given your application has reached speed concerns, and ends up using brotli at compression level 1 in production, you would be surprised to notice that in this speed range, zstd compresses both faster and stronger, by a quite substantial margin.

Studios make between 75% and 90% of the value of ticket sales in the first week a big-budget movie is in theaters. (The shares are different for indie films.)

Depending on the negotiating power of the studio, that may even extend to the second week for a major blockbuster film, like for example a Fast and Furious or Marvel film.

Generally, the studio's share of ticket sales drops below 50% after about a month. By the end of the second month, if the theater is still showing a movie, it is getting almost all of the ticket sales revenue.

This is why movie studios really push the concessions: that's where they make the most money. By the time they're making the lion's share of a movie ticket sale, there generally aren't many people still interested in watching the movie in a theater, so it's only worth it to keep long-tail movies in theaters for more than a few weeks.
for which keyway?

I work performing a lot of GIS (geospatial information systems) work for emergency services. Sometimes, I produce maps. Sometimes, someone wants to know where they ought to locate a five million dollar building for maximum results.

My computing interests lie in automating tasks previously performed by humans, ETL, and analysis. I was doing web stuff back in the 1990s and went through so very many CRUD apps, but this is where my interests lie. What this means in my current job is that I find time-consuming tasks done by my predecessor and say, "Let's make this faster." Or I can look for subtle errors.

Just as an example, because I am routing emergency services to houses and workplaces, I have a network of streets to deal with. Imagine them as a graph, where most of the data is attached to the edge rather than the node. Now, people have drawn these streets in using tools like ArcMap, but there can be problems. How many different kinds of mistakes might exist in connecting roads together? Try to enumerate the cases.

I have found ten thus far. Each case is something that, if a human eyeballs it up close, they could say "oh yes," but it is not readily apparent. And so I have written code for a number of these cases that takes my human domain expertise of what is wrong with something and translates it into something even a rock (silicon) can understand. And the end result of finding these little mistakes is very real: help gets to someone just a few seconds faster.

I interface with organizations that are not other IT organizations: property records, postal records, phone records, and so on. Sometimes this means wrangling proposed plats from developers. It's all real stuff, and it's all done in service of helping people who have immediate needs.

It's very different from being in a room full of people who have little stickers on their Macs making Agile noises about whatever random shifts have occurred in the "client??" (and doesn't that word encompass a multitude of sins)'s latest wishlist.
I've noticed that this incessant trendchasing is largely confined to web development, although it has spread a lot from there (Electron...)

To be blunt, I do not care how "new" something is. Newer is not always better, and change is not always good. Churn is not progress. Perhaps those should be the core values that developers need to be "indoctrinated" with, for lack of a better term.

Then again, I'm also probably much older than the average web developer by at least a decade and a half, and saw lots of silly fads come and go.
I've been making cheese at home for a few years now, and was lucky enough to find a local source of raw milk a few months ago, at the beginning of the pandemic. Since then, I've made cheese exclusively with raw milk.

While I'd read about the differences previously, they're understated by most sources -- I can only assume many people are passing on accounts they've heard rather than speaking from experience. The texture of the finished cheese and how the milk acts while being processed into cheese is incredibly different from even fresh low-temperature pasteurized milk with added calcium.

Even a simple cheese like mozzarella is very noticeably different -- and in my opinion, better -- when made from raw milk. So while I'm willing to believe commercially produced cheeses are closer to their raw-milk counterparts than my homemade cheeses are, I still feel we've lost a lot when it comes to the experience of eating cheese just by using pasteurized milk.

Compiler speeds haven't improved much, either. The reason is simple - as computer speeds improved, we asked the compilers to do more.

Started with LastPass. Moved to Bitwarden a year+ ago based on NH recommendations. $10 a year with Yubikey support is a steal.

At work we use 1PW. Compared to BW I find 1PW awkward and often counterintuitive. I suppose it has to do with habits. But I had few awkward moments with going from LP to BW.

I'm not knocking 1PW. Only suggesting that if you're in the market for a PW manager, check Bitwarden

Changing the goal posts? It was about usability of sync/search, now that's addressed, you've brought up the paranoid case of Apple registering an additional device (which only affects messages from on, forward, not the past, mind you, and it is an active attack that can possibly leave a trace if the sending party is looking at the traffic it originates). Sure there are challenges, and the whole point of designing a secure system is to balance various aspects of the system including usability and even politics so that in practice you maximize security for everyone. Apple's choice seems to have been a good one, and it deserves credit for bringing this much security to the masses at precisely zero cognitive burden to the user. Compare it to email, or other popular chat services, for example.

But yea, it is correct that you can always prove something cannot be done once you tighten up some mutually exclusive constraints. Question is how much it maps the real world and whether some cannot be loosened.

I get your point, but I mean I see a ton of fat and ugly people on tiktok anyway, they even get huge followings because theyre funny and cool (though sometimes it's just because people can't look away lol). So maybe you should reconsider how you view people, unless you only want content you can drool over.
> I agree with the templates. I am trying to allocate my time wisely and I think expanding that will be major.

Maybe worth trying out some "Create and share templates in your free plan, earn upgrades to 3 months worth of Pro plan when 5 other users create with your templates!" kind of crowd sourcing and network effect thing?
I don't think loyalty based on product quality is "fanboyism." I think that's called brand loyalty and it's hard-earned. I only ever buy Toyota/Lexus vehicles because Toyota vehicles have been exceptionally reliable for me. As soon as I observe that this isn't true, I'll stop buying them. I'm not a fanboy, I'm a fan.
Honestly, for complex ui like this, I prefer to write it as a separate frontend app written in react/typescript. Django template system is great for normal websites (e.g. news/blog/ecommerce websites), but for complex application ui you'll start encountering pains like you mentioned. Implementing complex ui with a lot of interactivity is just easier in react. The drawback is now you have to implement an api layer to bridge django and react, which actually not that bad using django rest framework or even vanilla django views.

I think it's not as much narrative as the explosion of the tech field in general.

When i started out tinkering with tech in general in the early 2000s people drawn to the internet were still mostly a smaller core of passionate forerunners many of whom subscribed to artistic values like simplicity, beauty and the idea of zen. This began to change with web 2.0 circa 2008.

Both my Mac and my Pc from 2005 are way snappier than todays OSX or Win10. Not as fast but has way less latency.

Today tech education is aimed at highly paid and fancy careers for lots of kids with little passion for engineering or designing who never learned to use a desktop because they just had an iPad - they hardly know that you can copy and paste and almost don't know what a website is outside of walled gardens, i kid you not.

This year had had the most students ever start in tech related fields, and i know from teaching shortly at university that about 95% have not gone into the field because they love to tinker but because it's highly paid or a "cool career".

I know there are still the oldschool "designers and experimenters" out there but it's all about signal to noise. Of course size, complexity, high level modularized abstraction and dependency hell is also an issue, but this probably won't get resolved as 99% of tech people today don't care and don't remember using a computer that didn't have 500ms of latency when closing a window.

You don’t build a house first. You muddle through building a chicken coop from crappy plans from the Internet. Then you build a run on the coop and figure out how slightly more orthodox framing is done.

After a bear gets into your bird feeder, you build an enclosure for the outside trash cans and the chicken feed. It takes well under half the time and you cut the rafters right the first time. All the while, you marvel at how little overlap there is between furniture making (your day job), and carpentry.

Then you start thinking about more fully featured structures. Hypothetically speaking.
>"C++ can do these things, and can do them quite performantly - but it takes an amount of effort far exceeding doing the same thing in say, Go or Java."

Not my observation, writing business servers in modern C++ using some libraries is a piece of cake. I do not have any problems with I/O and strings either.

Hosting my encrypted data means anyone with sufficient access at any single time can copy the encrypted data and attack it or me, then or later when eventually feasible.

Hosting only an executable I download and execute means the adversarial extraction of data must be contained within the executable and bypass all security from within my system. There is a window of opportunity for sending out a signal indicating the executable can not be trusted.

I do trust the team of 1Password to be competent and not evil, but there are many things that can go wrong anyway.

I remain disappointed that there is no way to set up nor configure a 1Password.com account without the web client.
I’ve implemented front-end (fuzzy) search in multiple projects over the years. When the dataset is known to be small enough it’s great.

I have also seen the horrible half/half implementations you mention where it should have just been implemented on the server side, and I totally agree with you there.

However it was just an example to show that a unsubstantiated blanket statement like “responsiveness never” is just wrong. I’m not saying doing search in JS is always (or even often) better, but it can be sometimes if done well.
This is what HN was like in the early years -- a (much) smaller community of people making things, sharing them, and rooting each other on.
I think that when the UI (in general) was starting to go server side rendered (again) people started to find ways to make it client rendered for speed (again). In fact I can imagine the guys at google building the first gmail said "It doesn't have to be this way."
I’d be cautious increasing the price. It’s not an enterprise product and you’d be weakening your case as an After Effects alternative.

In fact - if you can scale easily - you might be better off lowering the price and going for those that can’t afford / can’t be bothered to learn After Effects.

Make it something that an average 16 year old can afford, and you’ll create a loyal customer base.

Like that you may be able to make more money selling template bundles and stuff as add-ons, as that’s an audience used to paying for skins and similar while gaming.
Generally because the chance they serve a compromised client is lower than that your homegrown storage will be compromised, and because the UI affordances make it easier to use more unique passwords and multi-step authentication.

> but, weirdly, can't "SELECT * FROM A_Index".

In all honesty, most DBMSes have some sort of "hinting" mechanism that accomplishes roughly the same.

It's a cludge, though, usually in the form of specially formatted comments or some sort of syntactic "piggy-back" on top of the regular SQL, or even outside SQL (e.g. SQL Server plan guides).

I'd love to be able to specify the physical access path with more "first-class" syntax, and mix-and-match with logical access more easily.
Yep, exactly. You can split up the information so that the urgent, emergency documents require less approvals that something like an estate plan.
I'm in the same boat as the sibling: I'm about to move off of 1password because there's no Linux client. I'm a regular licence user, not a subscription user, and I will never buy a subscription from you but I've been happily paying to upgrade every time you release an upgrade to the regular software.

It seems that this is signalling your commitment to stop supporting users like me, and that's very disappointing.
