‘cd’ is a shell builtin so you couldn’t use ‘cd’ in any of these solutions unless they then spawn a shell instance...and that worries me if you are because then you really might as well just have a separate .sh file and launch that instead (at least that is more auditable with tools like Shellcheck than any inlined code would be).

I've been using a similar solution, but I had quite some problems using AP and client mode at the same time. The WiFi chip inside the RPi Zero W (BCM43430) only supports AP and client mode on the same channel. If you setup an AP first, then connect to a client network, hostapd will update the channel of the AP, but clients will notice a disconnect. There are also issues with the firmware blob (see https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1403) in AP mode that haven't been solved yet.
You can theorize as much as you want, at the end some are successful and some are not, each one will tell you they know why. none of them will do. Luck has a lot to do with it, but work hard in doing something you believe in and if it becomes successful, good for you, but this should not be your first objective. Struggle is underrated.

Both can be important and it really comes down to who your customer is.

For B2B (SME+) - Absolutely invest in Sales. Worth mentioning that it isn't too hard hiring seasoned sales professionals, with existing relationships who are trying to find their next career move etc. They'll often agree to a higher commission payout in-lieu of a base salary. This doubles up as a good way to get feedback from the market.

For B2C or smaller B2B - Definitely invest in marketing and customer experience if you would like the main driver behind your business to be product-led growth or some form of a self-signup/self-onboarding.
I always had the impression that emergency departments used haloperidol or chlorpromazine because they don't cause increased intracranial pressure like ketamine nor respiratory depression like benzodiazepines. I'm sure it varies for individual experience.
You can use nextcloud as the cloud backup and turn off backups within google photos, and then you have a photo manager with encrypted (and self hosted) backups. I have not used nextcloud myself. I use Apple products and pay for icloud. I use Emby as well for media management. What I was getting at is that I don’t want to switch my photo manager and photo workflow when all that the value here is is the fact that the photos are encrypted, there are many solutions to that. Why not sell a hosted end to end encrypted backend that is compatible with google photos and Apple photos?
Actually I think Python did that? There is tarfile in the standard library and in my experience it worked quite well. So perhaps that is actually the answer. I do not know how tarfile is implemented though, so pergaps it is itself using any available tar implementation?

For at least the WiFi issues, the answer is: don't use WiFi. Use Ethernet cables and you will have reliable, robust connections. Which means (exclusive of a comcast outage) "reliable ssh connections which stay up and have low latency".

> I am interested in having a secure router,

Building your own from a PC, plural ethernet cards, and Linux is one way to know exactly what the router is, and is not, doing. It is also not going to become obsolete tomorrow because the maker no longer releases firmware upgrades for it. However you are also taking on the effort of upgrading things yourself as necessary to maintain security.

Figured out what bothers me so much about this; it’s medicalising beauty to a level basically no-one else does. Dentists are sometimes a bit inclined that way anyway (though many aren’t; my dentist told me that I could get orthodontic treatment if I wanted, but that my orthodontic issues were purely cosmetic and there would be no medical benefit; I declined and thought better of the dentist), but this is something else.

Imagine this in a non-dental medical setting. Worst of all, imagine it in the context of fashion! You’d have untested quack treatments being prescribed to make people bulky now and skinny in a few years. Complete madness.

Just adding another note to my comment above:

9. Lazarus has a built-in debugger which is quite powerful and the development environment has full integration with it.

To see a demo of the Lazarus IDE including the debugger functionality, please see the video in the page below:
https://www.getlazarus.org/new/

10. Lazarus is 100% open source and is under active development with the last release in July 22, 2020.

Lazarus is not a new fad language. It has been in existence for decades and there are existing apps which are developed in it - example, the Transmission GUI client.

Other projects done in Lazarus:

This is the “Notice of Opposition” that Apple filed in the US: https://www.scribd.com/document/471822364/Apple-s-Notice-of-... . That’s it - that’s the only thing I’ve heard that Apple’s actually done. The press makes it sound like they’re trying to have Prepear’s founders keelhauled or something, but to me this looks like like routine paperwork. It’s not even like the USPTO denied Apple’s opposition and they’re appealing it.
Actually there are several shells out there that fix that problem and still support existing UNIX tools too (which Powershell doesn't play nice with).

My own shell, https://github.com/lmorg/murex does this by passing type information along with the byte stream. So _murex_ aware tools can have structured data passed and POSIX tools can fall back to byte streams. Best of both worlds.

The problem, however, is that as long as Bourne Shell and Bash are installed everywhere, people will write scripts for it. This is less about the popularity of UNIX tools and more about the ubiquity of them (though the two points aren't mutually exclusive).

Ask HN: Is it useful an informative&actionable 3D earth on all the governments?
In scope it would be similar to Wikipedia but focused on making it easy to understand how governments are structured(in 3D, both organizationally and the responsible people behind), how they work and, when possible, provide actionable informations for any citizen on how to act collectively(or individually) to make their concerns or objections heard by the people representing them.

It might evolve into a decentralized discussion platform if done well and if there's demand.

I found that this kind of information is mostly disorganized and scattered all over internet (or offline) and there's no common format to represent it, making it not easy to understand many times.

This really depends on the stage your company is at. If you haven't found product-market fit, you need to spend a majority of your time in sales mode talking to potential customers/users so you can figure out who your ideal market is and what your market wants. If you try to start marketing without finding product-market fit, you may end up wasting a lot of time and money without knowing whether anyone even wants your product.

It also depends on who you're selling to as well. Consumer/SMB customers may require less sales efforts than enterprise customers. You will always want to start with talking to users regardless, which is sales.
It’s a shame that a diplomatic mission of such a close friend needs to be armoured like this in London.
Just curious, but I was trying to help someone with a Raspberry Pi Zero W wifi issue the other day and had trouble finding sny info about the wireless chipset used. I couldn't find it listen anywhere on the site, or several tech review sites, only extremely useless information on the 802.11 versions support. If it recall correctly, it didn't even show up in the schematica. Luckily wikipedia had the name of the chipset used, but I don't get it. Why does their official documentation seem to be so secretive?
And yet, short ugly poor people have partners. Being without a partner permanently (in western societies) is rather unusual, and if you were looking to draw correlations between the people in that category, you’re probably looking at a combo of psychological issues and lack of interest, not so much what they look like.
There are many screenshots here, I'm not sure which one do you mean. But do keep in mind that some of these screenshots (maybe even most of them) are 10, or 20, years old, so what seems non-native to you today might be just the way things used to look.

Maybe it was just an arbitrary example, but really, there's no reason to want Canadian Netflix. We only get about half the stuff the US does.

Also, we have the same "content can't be offered here by Netflix because the local IP license has been bought out by a different owner" problem that the US and many other places does; but in Canada's case, most of those local IP owners are conservative dinosaur media companies, who either haven't managed, or haven't bothered, to set up their own alternative streaming services yet. They just... hold the licenses, doing nothing with them. Hoarding them, like a dragon. So there are many shows you just can't stream in Canada at all, no matter who you're willing to pay.

The toughest part of this is finding a product that people are willing to pay for. The sunk cost fallacy kicks in, and everyone doubles down on pushing the product and iterating until they finally have no choice but to admit failure. I think YC does a great job of getting people to ask what is the absolute least amount of work I can do to validate an idea. Can you send texts instead of build an app? Can you do it all manually for the first 5 customers? Be quick to throw away things that aren't working, you don't have the bandwidth as a solo founder to make a perfect product, you NEED to see market acceptance to make it worth your time.

I feel like there’s a contradiction in the article; it’s mentioned that the son, who was a ‘success story’, needed premolars removed, and that seemed to be portrayed as a success. Now, no-one was regularly removing premolars one the pre-modern era, and as I understand it the sort of crowding that might indicate removing premolars does cause (often minor, cosmetic) orthodontic issues. So presumably the orthodontically perfect pre-moderns weren’t using something analogous to this guy’s magic treatment then.

Well 2 things really. Yeah the hardware is a bit garbage as it only goes up to 802.11n only on 2.4 GHz and it's also a 1x1 with a poor antenna. The big thing though is it requires you use the same channel which is disastrous for repeater performance.

Ideally you'd have 802.11ac/ax with 2 separate PHYs each with 4x4 (even if the clients are 1x1 or 2x2 the additional beamforming helps) set to two separate channels.

That's not to say it won't function well enough in a pinch but I wouldn't seek this out as a permanent answer if I were buying new.

I don't think I'm allowed to punch holes in the walls as would be needed to run Ethernet.

As a point of curiosity: Typical wifi is now faster than typical ethernet. I did benchmarks. Although both my computer and router advertise gigabit, they typically negotiate to 100M. I tried swapping cables, so it's not just random cable issues. Wifi gives consistently higher speeds than ethernet. Of course, 100M is plenty, and as you point out, does give better reliability.

> However you are also taking on the effort of upgrading things yourself as necessary to maintain security.

That's my concern. Cost of maintenance becomes astronomical. I'm not a sysadmin by trade, and I'd need to stay on top of zero-days and similar. Plug-and-forget is nice.

I'm comfortable with the middle ground of trusting the vendor, so long as they say they're not monitoring things and they're reasonably credible. Thing is, most vendors seem to advertise cell phone apps, Alexa integration, and other stuff which necessitates sending my privates all over the web.

Just waiting for it to be economical in the nearer term and all of this stuff will magically start appearing. Everyone goes through the motions of thinking about solar solutions to energy, and then they realize how little power they provide and how many they need en masse and then scrap the idea.

Once the math adds up for a quicker ROI, the plans will stop getting shelved and will be presented as novel by different people.
I've been trying to figure this out as well. The simple answer is that there is no consensus and no obviously right solution.

My constraints were:

- I'm not starting a desktop application project in C++ today.

- I don't want to do the heavy lifting for complicated widgets myself.

- I want to have the performance of compiled code without concurrency limitations (so no Python or Ruby).

- I want at least a reasonable facsimile of native look'n'feel on the three major desktop platforms.

- I want accessibility as at least an option.

If I don't want to buy dev tools like LispWorks or Delphi, then I'm left looking at Java + Swing or a backend in Java or .NET and a web frontend.

Then I look at Dolphin Smalltalk or Corman Lisp which are now open source on Windows, and they're phenomenal development environments that target Win32 directly instead of the layers added above it. macOS has excellent dev tools for just macOS. On Linux, GNOME and KDE both provide excellent environments. And I wonder if I should just forget about it and pick a platform.
