Ask HN: Resources for Learning Product Development?
What are some good resources for learning product development?

I want to learn how to figure out the direction to iterate on an MVP. Do you know of any resources that will help me accomplish this?

I also want to learn how to take a product to the next level.

I really admire Blizzard for its ability to do this.
Even if Apple didn't know they were defective, in the past that hasn't stopped them from trying to ignore (and cover up the voices of ) customers that bought defective products. (One example being the mid-2000s early failure of at least hundreds of iMac displays. Which wasn't addressed for two years.)

Some of those customers, hoping to be well-served by the products, can't easily afford to replace them. At times Apple has seemed to be at least unaware that such defects may result in a substantial, possibly permanent loss (money, time, opportunity) to the people that overly trusted their brand.

Class-action suits are the only remedy for this careless attitude - until the day comes when Apple dares to own up to its biggest failures.

It... depends.

If your terminal emulator supports the clipboard escape codes, then yes -- it just works, and there's nothing for you to do to set it up. This is because when you hit "copy" tmux just prints a bunch of escape codes, and ssh will re-print the escape codes locally, and your terminal emulator will see them, and know to set the contents of the system clipboard.

If your terminal emulator doesn't support the clipboard escape codes, then you have to configure an explicit copy-pipe command, like this:

bind -T copy-mode-vi y send -X copy-pipe 'xclip -i -selection clipboard'

And that will work on a remote tmux, as long as you ssh to the remote server with X forwarding (ssh -X or -Y).

If you're not using X and your terminal emulator doesn't support the escape codes, then I think the answer is no. Like if you're using a Mac and using Terminal.app instead of iTerm, I'm not sure how you would make this work.
In Sweden that sector died as the fiber network was extended. It did fill a niche that shrank as fiber was laid down.
This is a fault of the team culture if it allows junior devs to do that.

The whole point of design reviews, code reviews, senior devs, and more is to ensure that stuff that doesn’t work or can’t be maintained doesn’t get deployed.
I can't agree with this, generally. It depends on the language and the project.

> You need a full dev environment to read.

I don't. My "full dev environment" is just vim with stock configuration anyways.

I read code on my phone everyday. I read code on GitHub every day. Does GitHub suck for reading code? Absolutely. But it's not impossible, far from it.

I mostly read Go, C, various configuration dialects and she'll scripts, occasionally some Java or Python or Rust. Perfectly readable in plaintext.

Sure Scala is borderline unreadable without an IDE but for the most part it's fine.

I mean, after all, you can read code in a book, can't you?

I wonder how time zones on other planets would work once relativistic time dilation has to be considered. Add a multiplier to how fast your clock ticks? I suppose satellites should have this problem already resolved but only in Earth's sphere of influence.

Also simply travelling to Mars would desynchronize the time and would have to be resynced.

It's interesting that time and date semantics are based on the rotation and orbits of planets.

A truly universal time should probably be based on the orbits or other oscillations of atoms, possibly away from a gravity well and at a precise temperature.
My favorite line in this wonderful paper is:

The database is just filled with garbage that is unusable
for this project: Fonts that are completely illegible, fonts
that are missing most of their characters, fonts with millions of control points, Comic Sans MS, fonts where every
glyph is a drawing of a train, fonts where everything is fine
except that just the lowercase r has a width of MAX INT,
and so on.
Its not true AI but a defined algorithm. It's also designed by contractors who are paid quite well even relative to Google.
Which font do you use for development? ;)
Thank you, noted.

Is CubeWeaver a SaaS product? The reason I ask is that the user might think that the added benefits CubeWeaver brings are going to be locked in a new (proprietary) file format and can not be shared/owned. The Excel export is great but I guess that reduces the benefits you mention.

One of the huge benefits of Excel, in my opinion, is that people have an app and share the file around. Yes, to the software engineer, this is horrible. But to the accountant/business manager it is a feature.

You seem to be subdividing into "lived therefore recovered" and "died therefore did not recover". You're ignoring both long-COVID which people can recover from after months and long term organ damage seen even in outwardly asymptomatic people.
If you set up this binding:

bind-key -T copy-mode-vi MouseDragEnd1Pane send -X copy-pipe-no-clear 'xclip -i -selection primary'

(or -T copy-mode, if you use emacs-flavored tmux)

Then you can paste your tmux selections into other programs with middle-click -- I think by default tmux only uses the "clipboard" selection, but middle click pastes the "primary" selection.
Presumably you need some callback attached to tmux set-buffer to make an xclip -i call

But my tmux-fu isn't really up to scratch on how you do that...

On iOS apps can check for the availability of URL schemes ("can I open a link of type ftp:"), so they can check if apps that expose a URL scheme are installed (mostly this is apps that offer an API, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc).

But, apps have to declare which URL schemes they want to be able to check for, and this list is inspected by app review. So if you want to check for every known app in existence (which some apps like IIRC Twitter used to do before Apple limited it), you'll fail app review. I'm not sure how strict they are about shorter but weirder lists of URL schemes (like a todo app checking for bank apps)
Oh they were pretty determined. Sometimes when we would block traffic on particular cuts, we could see changes in traffic happening in as little as 30 mins which meant that fraudsters had automated systems responding to changes on our end.

Things such as a single device ID sending hundreds of requests in a minute or blacklisted IPs would be just dropped silently, no point in even wasting bandwidth to show an ad. For cuts of traffic where the clicks etc were outside of predetermined ranges, it would again be blocked and dropped. In other cases, where fraud happened before we could block it, there was a flag called 'billable' which was set to False so the advertiser wasn't charged for it.

> There's also alllll the times that military appropriations have been a political football. A lot of DoD folks have had to report to work unpaid multiple times over the past couple years. Many of them later got backpay when a budget was passed, but not all.

GEFTA (signed into law in 2019) guarantees retroactive pay for furloughs due to lapses in appropriations. Before that, anyone exempted who still had to show up was guaranteed pay, and Congress would virtually always still backpay the people who were furloughed. It wasn't legally guaranteed, but I can't think of any cases in the last 10-20 years where retroactive pay didn't happen.

It's still pretty disruptive though, and it definitely sucks for contractors if they get sent home, as they don't get retroactive pay.
The other day my daughter asked why I listen to tsunami alerts and head uphill when the the waves arent much bigger that a normal wave by the time they get to us (inside island). I told her that I'm not going to be the dummy that gets killed by not heeding warnings.

I think the same applies here. You do you and dont worry about all the folks taking risks to go out. Statistically, some of them are responsible for someone's death from COVID or died from COVID. I would rather not be part of that statistic just because I felt like I missed out.
Given that lung scans of people with long-COVID show scar tissue, I doubt it's entirely psychosomatic. Given that lung damage has appeared even in outwardly asymptomatic carriers, it seems likely that that damage shows up more in people who, knowing they are less likely to die, take more risks.

When you work on the first idea/MVP, try to find an idea that you or your family can use.

If you and your family friend can use it, then you will feel the awakrd when you demo a product to them immediately.

Try to record a video tell about your product, you will realize so many crap your product has without any feedback from outside. You will feel the pain.

As in, where to find feedback. you have to hang out in where your target audience hang out. Eg, for me, I have an email forwarding app, and I try to google question about email forwarding (cloudflare, reddit, quora) and answer them. By answer those questions, you kind of feel the painp point.

If you consistently pushing, people will reach out to your eventually.

Don't lose hope when it seems no one care your product. Good luck.

I think they're talking about the implication that if Apple don't pay, then the vulnerability is published.

I agree with you on a moral basis: what difference does it make if I get payed not to publish it vs. If I just publish it without even asking to get paid. But I'm not sure the law would agree with us.

Something like mixup augmentation might work here as well for training - blend two SDFs and say "this is 20% A and 80% B".

Someone could also train a model that given some glyphs of a font predicts the rest of the glyphs. Then we can do weird things like give it glyphs from multiple fonts as input to make a hybrid font.

To me, copy/paste is a weakness of a workflow using tmux.

With tmux you end up with four distinct copy/paste buffers: the OS, tmux, the shell, vi/emacs. You do get used to the mental gymnastic of juggling all those but it's not ideal.

Same goes with managing the windows of the OS, tmux and vi/emacs.

Something tells me the "botox" cosmetical procedures are expensive where only doctors are allowed to do it.

Surely teeth regrowth must be more expensive and more complicated than that.

A simple anesthesia for tooth cannot be performed by someone who is not a certified dentist.

I'm just speculating that tooth regrowth will be in the same ballpark as implants and it will be just another option.
It's much simpler than all that. Since there is a supply cap, demand exceeds supply, so housing is more expensive.

Of course developers are going to build for what generates the most revenue.
