Iterspace: Browser extension to share feedback and report bugs in seconds
Hello HN!

I'm building a browser extension to help Product Managers, Designers, and Developers iterate with confidence and save tons of hours.

With iterspace, you can record your screen, add contextual comments, and collect technical data in a breeze — including logs, events, and insights required to help your team fix bugs faster.

You can turn feedback and insights into actionable tasks by connecting your favorite tools (Trello, Jira, more soon) or by using direct links.

It's free, and you can try it in Beta. I'd love to hear your feedback!

> As soon as you deal with concurrency, things either get hard to learn or get super messy.

Strong disagree. There is a language where concurrency is trivial and beginner-friendly. It is called POSIX shell with standard GNU tools. To run several independent commands in parallel, you print them and pipe to GNU parallel. If your concurrency has an arbitrary tree of dependencies, you print it in the form

target : dependencies ; command

and then run GNU make.

Languages that make this simple stuff complicated, like Python, do so by choice, not by need.
Just because they track eyes doesn't mean they gonna use it for rendering. That's probably for input.
I've been around long enough to remember a time when the web was full of content that didn't originate from profit motive. Just a bunch of people talking about their interests and sharing their creations. Even the stuff that was commercially motivated was largely innocuous, because they were focused more on brand awareness - which doesn't need a surveillance system. All that personal interest stuff is still out there, despite all the insistence that the only alternative to the ad-supported-spy-machine paradigm is a subscription model. I really wouldn't mind seeing all the click seeking platforms get wrecked, because they incentivize the most useless and annoying noise.
Too bad there is no monospace version...

It depends on size of the company. Cost is a relative instrument. Develop a big market product, highly demanding, or for a critical mission application is another story for "cost".
So why do you need glasses in VR? Just trying to understand.
Even with https, people can have privacy extensions that mess with referrers. I wouldn't consider referer 100% reliable and origin header isn't always sent for all request types.
If a service is paid while allowing itself to engage in data mining and monetisation, it will lose most of its paying users to a more ethical competitor as soon as someone bothers to read the ToS.

If a paid service engages in data mining in violation of its own ToS, it is liable to be punished by law as soon as that leaks, so that’s another counter-incentive.

The expectation of free service is what enables shady practices: new companies can hardly compete on price with a giant that doesn’t charge money and is incentivised to keep users locked in by making migration to another service difficult.

I mean the pass the buck projects definitely exist, but they aren't as common as you might think in my experience. They can hire McKinsey for them if you want, it's just an expensive way to go. These projects are invariably ordered by companies that have toxic cultures anyway.

Far more common is a project where the client half knows what they want, but their thinking isn't detailed enough to implement it.

As an example that might happen in my field, let's say a company has three distribution centres, each with a general manager, and they report directly into a 'head of logistics'. The project is that they want to look at closing one distribution centre, they think they could probably get away with 2.

The client might know what they want, but probably wont understand the impact on transport costs, the capacity that exists at the other two distribution centres, likely delapse costs, how much they are likely to get for sublease as they have a long lease, the cost of redundancy, system changes required because some specific activity happens in the central DC, impact on the cost of goods sold, what are the inventory benefits, when according to their financial plan will they need the 3rd facility again. They are also unlikely to have an implementation plan and a cost estimate for making the change.

Even if the Head of Logistics can do all that, he has a full time job managing the network and working out all the impacts isn't a part-time job. It's also important to get right, so can be hard to delegate because the company probably doesn't have someone that has worked all this out before (e.g. do they know how to calculate inventory savings?).

So that's how a company can kind of know what they want to do, but consultants can still add value.
f-strings are standard, what do you mean? That the "f" be ommitted? I'm all for it, yet it would need a bit of adaptation for those old programs that put {} inside non-f strings.

I wouldn't say terrible, just like I wouldn't say the gameboy advance had terrible resolution. Sure, it does now, but it'll certainly get better with time and it's hard for me to think that it's the primary issue with VR.

I suppose it's the issue if your expectation of VR is resolution-sensitive. But good VR apps will just treat that as a limitation and factor it in. GBA apps of the time were pixel-art, and resolution was never its "main problem" (batteries were), because you weren't using it to watch movies or something.

IMO a lot of the true VR issues have been fixed by now. Pass-through, standalone wireless, baseless hand tracking, no more headaches, etc… A lot of the work that remains is incremental improvements (such as resolution, battery life, FOV, weight, tracking accuracy). I would personally like to see some very-low-latency wireless earbud support, too. Once again the Quest 2's over-the-ear system is great.

The most severe issues I have with VR right now are very much not software/hardware related, but rather have to do with sweating: Band getting dirty, lenses fogging up. The fact a lot of VR apps are fitness based makes this a serious problem, at least for me.

The real "true issue" of VR currently is probably the lack of apps. There's fairly few killer apps, especially on the much more restrictive Quest line.

But I agree with you there's a huge potential for "retina" VR.
There not such thing as negative effect of hoping. As long, you last at least a year it is typical for Junior to switch jobs. You want to switch jobs to get experience and fair wages. If you are any good at programming companies will shower you with money and give golden handcuffs.

You have decades of work before people start perceived you as old. If you save a portion of your wages you can retire when you are 50-60. Because programming exploded in the last two decades you will have plenty of old peers by the time you are old.

You are 23. My wife started to learn programming when she was 33!. I went back to school when I was 26 to get MSc and start a programming career.

Amazing how alive this cholesterol myth still is. Anecdotally from my own experience talking to people, the fear of cholesterol and saturated fats is most present still in the US and UK, two of the countries with the worst rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. When I studied clinical psychology a few years ago, we had a ’health psychology’ course with an American standard textbook on nutrition. Cholesterol was mentioned literally once in the book, only in the context of how ’bad’ it was. Nowhere did the authors think to discuss why we produce it at all, and what actual functions it has in the body. The idea that dietary cholesterol will just randomly ’clog up’ your arteries was ridiculous from the get-go. The most sensible and well researched hypothesis about heart disease and the role of cholesterol I’ve come across so far is laid out in a long series of blog posts on scottish doctor Malcolm McKendrick’s homepage. The very short an incomplete gist: stress and associated episodes of increased blood pressure, together with the oxidizing effects of elevated blood sugar caused by high glycemic load diet causes damage to blood vessels. Cholesterol is part of the immune response to this damage and acts as a band-aid on the damaged area so it can heal.
> This is the biggest thing I miss when I open programs like Aseprite. I can't begin to describe how great it was for programming to be able to embed code inside of animation, and have the entire thing be a clip that could be embedded inside another program.

This was just _magic_.

Godot and Unity prefabs are sort of half-way there, but the scene view being the primary interaction for editing causes the _magic_ to disappear. Flash had the timeline as the primary view; so where in scene view you drop an object into a space, in Flash you drop an animation into a timeline.

The outcome is very different. With time moving forward in the scene view, IE in Unity play mode, the objects in the world move and behave in a linear fashion. A ball rolls forward until it finds the lowest point to settle in. With time moving forward in the timeline the animations within loop endlessly. Time goes from 0 to N and back to 0 to repeat.

This was absolute _magic_ for rapid iteration.

And yes, all the rest you discussed was goodly, as well.

And it was an absolutely great cartoon animation toolkit.,

How would streaming work with a custom point/angle of view? Can the participant walk, move head - etc. Unless all the possible cameras are streamed AND processed locally the latency would destroy the experience.
Meh, while I appreciate the authors deep thinking and work on the topic, I disagree with his conclusion that there isn't a universal warrior due to different kinds of war and different kinds of courage and bravery culturally influenced by those different types. While there is sure to be a certain amount of variance between the kinds of people who are considered brave because of this, I think it is an archetype as Carl Jung talks about (he called it the Hero archetype of which the warrior is a subset) that applies throughout cultures and type of warfare.

While I haven't ventured through time, I have grown up in the lands of those of what the author calls the first system of war, but have been trained in and participated in modern war, I see the type of person as being very much similar from both my limited reading of history and first-hand accounts of both bravery and cowardice. A good article with a lackluster conclusion.

I will say that the author is relatively spot on about hypervigilance, and as I stated before, my conversations with native americans of various tribes have generally agreed with his conclusion of the similarities in modern war. For example, it took me over ten years after getting out of the military to not wake up and pace the permiter of my house multiple times a night. I still do it when I'm stressed.

I would also say there is a lot to be said for the effects of TBI compounded upon combat stress or trauma. The level of explosions just didn't exist the way they do today. I've seen guys walk away from a humvee completely intact but never the same again from it.

Almost even more terrifying than constantly expecting a rocket or IED or ambush is coming home to a people who don't even understand or know what kind of horrors we have been up to in their name, continuing life as if nothing has or is happening, and having to listen to people pontificate on the subject of war (including politics) when you know the dirty, dark side of it all, while trying to pretend you are a normal person. How do you think my silicon valley co-workers would look at me if they knew the truth of the things we did, and continue to do, in their name, despite what R or D prepends some puppet presidents name at the time? So keep mum, and carry on pretending, playing along that you are indeed normal.

One probable universal about the universal warrior; the real challenge isn't the battlefield, it's home afterwards.

You seriously cannot neither compare the two or shift calls from one to another. They should live in their own sphere like they do in many countries. There are problems in both (massively so in the US) but if you look in journals, books and magazine-articles by well respected psychiatrists you will see many saying that what we do today with medicine will likely be seen in the future as a medicinal/chemical lobotomy. People's lives aren't just ruined but people are ruined permanently by treatments.

Luckily I don't live in the US where there's a high risk of being shot by police if you call for help for mental problems or getting put away because of good insurance, but if I did I would pick the police over the risk of getting medicated by overworked and poorly educated hospital-workers. The police might pass you on but that is still a risk I'd willingly take if I had to pick Police or direct to the social-system in the US. Of course I would rather take a loved one to someone I knew would give them proper care in the first place but most that call the police does not have that option or we wouldn't have this problem in the first place.

In other words, the problem isn't as black and white as you appear to make it. The solution is educated police working with a better social system, not sending social-workers to do a job they aren't educated or prepared for. If you look at much better (but still not perfect) systems you will mostly see that even when mentally sick people that are already in the hospital get violent they still call the police as it isn't their job to pacify dangerous individuals. That is the job of a well educated, not over-worked, police-force.

Do you need to use all the features of a language all the time? I don't think you do.

A language with a consistent design can have layers, and beginners can just do with the external bits without getting too deep initially, but with enough space to grow.

IMHO Python is a good language on that regard.
Based on the world most people see, that's fairly accurate.

Disqus does not track users from GDPR countries by default. My initial story in December 2019 for the Norwegian broadcaster NRK was a result of Disqus not knowing Norway had the GDPR (we are part of EEA, but not EU).

Users are checked based on IP whether they come from a GDPR country. If GDPR, they will be put in private mode. A user needs to create a profile and consent to sharing for tracking to begin.

Norwegian DPA opened an investigation as a result of our stories and Norwegians are now in private mode by default.

Some of them are clearly people in the process of learning to draw. Like, face features are in wrong places, but it is not actually easy to get them right. Even with youtube, it takes several attempts till one learns. Others are just normal amateur drawings.

Note: This is an Anthony Bourdain piece. Everything he says is true. Accurate. Helpful. Good to know.

But he's also wrong because he's being idealistic. Followed to its logical conclusion, this piece indicates only the best people should work in kitchens. If that were true there wouldn't be many good restaurants. Not great, just good. Probably less than 1,000 in the US. Like any industry—heck, maybe even society—there are many less than ideal folks.

I say that as a chef myself. I deliver to my customers (restaurants and such) every day. I step into these places and all told, among dozens of kitchen staff, I see just a couple of people who are good at what they do. After decades, I've worked with just a few who I'd describe as great. Thankfully, I got to work under one who is great, and even so I wouldn't say I'm better than good.
