Which creates more problems than solutions.

If the Python version that comes with your OS is not the one you want (e.g. it's outdated), then you'll have to:

1. Install the version you want anyway, and all the tools required (that usually don't come preinstalled in the OS)

2. Try to not make them collide, which, last time I tried, was a PITA, because the OS depends on original version of Python being in the the $PATH or something.

Python on Ubuntu is notoriously misleading for newbies, because even if you apt install python3 and it tells you that it's already installed, it's not fully installed. For example, venv is not installed, you have to `sudo apt install python3-venv` and do that for every Python module that's not installed by default.

It would be easier if Linux didn't come with Python, and then people simply installed the actual, full version of Python they wanted.
It's a cool idea, but it'd be nice to show which letters have been eliminated like "real" Wordle. I don't think not having them makes the game harder, just more tedious.
Probably a stupid question, but if it’s pure power shell, would it work on Linux? I suspect not since it will likely use a lot of .net stuff but I’d be happy if I was wrong.
It's a false dichotomy. We can BOTH build more green energy, and use some of it to displace fossil fuels from transportation.

If you predicate the future on reducing car dependency, good luck. I mean it's a noble goal, but you're gonna be holding your breath a while. Cars are popular for a lot of reasons.

Likewise trying to build enough solar panels for all the car-miles currently driven ends up being a mountain of solar indeed. So reducing the miles driven would ALSO be nice.

But we have to start on both and push hard on both, because meeting in the middle will happen a lot sooner.
You can start with websites such as flippa.com (lot of noise but you can get a few gems once in a while), microacquire.com (focussed on smaller saas, better quality but is premium), empireflippers.com and a few others.

I have personally done transaction in flippa many years ago AND doing 1 in microacquire at the moment.
I honest-to-goodness will frequently print out code to review or revise on paper. Being able to mark it up with pen freehand doesn’t let me do anything I couldn’t in a good editor, but it works better in my head.

I built the initial version of this app for a startup:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/listeners-on-call/id1498666617...

It has a very good UX designer and I've developed multiple commercial Qt/QML mobile applications previously.

I think the economics make sense with the following assumptions:

* The startup doesn't have the resources to build for two platforms natively (yet).

* The developer(s) can get their hands dirty and "go native" on either platform when needed.

Show HN: BuildingInPublic Page

Looking for feedback! Thanks in advance guys.

Context--

I'm designer who can code. Have made a few SaaS tools in the past in private and spoke about them only when I launched the product or shipped a feature.

With buildinginpublic movement, I am starting to document all my work in public and also made this extensive page, explaining the WHY, HOW, and WHAT of building in public.

Would love the eye of HN on the page and some honest feedback on why, how, & what I can change/improve.
No one likes queuing but I don't like being surveilled as deeply as this set up implies, I also have concerns around the assumption you have a smartphone. I personally pay in cash on purpose at supermarkets.

These supermarkets exclude anyone who doesn't have a smartphone or doesn't want to download yet another app.

Questions I have is what happens if you get in then turn your phone off, or take something and put something that weighs the same on the shelf?
Say what you want about this, the end result will always be a political tipping towards whichever party favors immigration. A voting law like this done nationally can permanently change American politics
There are some scams too around OLX, but the quality is indeed way below what you find on imobiliare as you can see. One of the other reasons is that expats usually use the latter, thus you are more likely to find better communities. In my building there are Spanish, Italian, Canadian, US, UK, Nigerian tenants among Romanians working either tech or blue collar. Plenty of cultural exchange and, naturally, beer tasting. However, it's still Romania and services are not something I am happy with, nor can i get used to the aggressive driving and generally speaking the occasional hostility (people just getting pissed off for no reason).
Given that a full set of replacement ink cartridges can cost $70 or more, it doesn't take very many instances of replacing dried-out but otherwise barely used cartridges to make up the difference in up-front cost.

If you regularly print full-color photos, by all means get an inkjet. (Perhaps consider one of the tank-based models, though.) Otherwise, a laser printer will generally be more economical for home printing in the long run, especially if you can settle for a black-and-white model, and you can always take the rare exceptions requiring full color to a print shop or photo kiosk.

Average undesired weight gain by adults in the US since the start of pandemic
I really wish it would be possible for us to stop using the word "lockdown" when talking about the USA. There was pretty much no meaningful lockdown in the USA. Maybe in NYC briefly, but that's about it. Throughout the pandemic, people were (and still are) going out, horsing around, shopping at the many "essential" businesses that never actually closed, eating at the restaurants that "bravely defied" orders, drinking at the pseudo-secret bars that stayed open, singing inside crowded churches with no HVAC systems, protesting and marching in massive crowds... all consequence-free. And, no matter where you were in the country, you could get in a car, travel 100 miles to any rural area, and find everything to be fully open. Lockdown didn't work because we never tried it.

The stay-at-home "orders" were more like suggestions: completely unenforced. How many people got any kind of penalty for traveling during stay-at-home? A dozen in the entire country at most? Police have no trouble pulling over speeders and drunk drivers, but suddenly it's impossible enforce stay-at-home? Governors were all talk and no action.

The only thing that actually consistently happened were public school closures, because the government itself runs public schools. Everything else was half-assed, where the government was just begging/hoping that companies would voluntarily close their doors and that people would voluntarily stop spreading the virus around. That never happened, and the federal and state governments seemed to be totally powerless to make it happen.
The firefighters in my district don't get paid (except for a few support staff). We do it for free.

If teachers think the pay isn't worth the risk, retire and let others take over. We don't need to re-evaluate society, we need people to man up and do their jobs. What are you waiting for? We have very effective vaccines. The virus may wax and wane but it is never going away.

Thankfully my kiddo is too young to be impacted by this, but all my friends with grade schoolers tell me that remote learning is a farce. So I don't think that's the answer.
What does it mean to be a “developer”?
As a contra-point to this (I feel like these sorts of threads bring out everybody who ever had negative experiences with xyz drug and that can be very harmful to those with mood disorders):

The only reason I'm still alive is due to SSRIs, they have definitely taken away some of the highs of life but they also took away the incessant thoughts of suicide. They have side effects. They suck and the idea of being physically and mentally addicted to a mood stabilizer is a huge bummer. But I know that the people around me (and you) want us around, even if it's not 100 percent of who we really are. If your meds are working for you, messing around with them because you want to "hack" your brain isn't necessarily the best course of action. Be smart.
it is sad that people believe that is function of government.... Wealth Redistribution. Government sole and only purpose should be protect persons, liberties, and properties; to maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign. Not to redistribute wealth based on the whims of the majority

I am also intrigued to know if you would accept removing representation from those that are not tax payers, that receive more in government subsidies and benefits than are paid in taxes

After all if there is no taxation with out representation, should it not follow there should be no representation with out taxation?
On its launch day, I posted my side project to ProductHunt:

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/escape-team

It got #2 Product of the Day, 563 upvotes (its 'GIF trailer' helped a lot, I think!) in total.

It was a great launch, despite the community of PH not being too board game-savvy. It's a good activity for your launch day – I would, however, not link to the PH page directly, but rather make a page on your website that embeds their upvote button:

https://www.escape-team.com/out-now-mission-pack-2

(I did that for the first expansion of Escape Team, which got way less upvotes and traction as you can see, but that might just be the smaller news value of an 'expansion'.)

The problem is there is no competition for the admins jobs. This is why voucher for charters would improve these. You need somekind of feedback mechanism to exterminate bad admins from their job. Unfortunately most people people deserve these kind of admins when they constantly vote in the "wrong" rep. I moved to other states now that remote jobs are very conducive to coders.
This is the only solution I accept these days in any serious discussion about cutting carbon emissions. And yea I know about Chernobyl and Fuckushima, but we’re still better off dealing with focused problems like that instead of vague extinction level crisis.
An adventure in realtime collaborative editing
I think this is exactly the problem with the medical research community, they study what they choose to study, not what is important to study. This is a well known problem with research in general, researchers choose the easy problems and the profitable problems, while the hard problems get ignored for decades. Mapping DNA was considered too hard, until someone actually tried to do it, and now it's common. The research that is ignored (because it is thought too difficult, is too political, doesn't fit with researchers idea of morality, is not in the interest of big pharma, or would disrupt profitable empires) is what drives my lack of trust. In particular, the opinions described in this article seem like blatant victim blaming instead of any serious attempt to reduce harm from something that is never going to disappear from society given it's greater than ten thousand year history.
The first and most important step is to determine if the book is worth your time!

Most subjects have countless written material. Skimming many first to decide which is worth it's weight will lead to a better outcome. It's more motivating too when you know you've found a gem.

Retrofitting the massive suburbs in both Europe and the United States is an almost impossible undertaking though. Likely the market will speak at some point and oil / electricity will become too expensive for people to own houses in the suburbs, but it’ll be painful when so much of the suburbanites identity is tied around this false idea of being “left alone”.

That, and the majority of Americans don’t even walk anymore, you can spend hours of driving without seeing someone walking to somewhere (as opposed to walking their dog), it’s insane.

Why does Netflix require UHD on Netflix Originals?

Answer: In 2014, Netflix made the decision to begin shooting and delivering all Originals in UHD. This decision was made for several reasons, the most of important of which is to future-proof our content. UHD is here, and adoption of UHD in the home is increasing. In just a few years, it will be harder to find an HD television than a UHD television. For this reason, we feel it only makes sense to shoot natively in the format that most of our customers will see for years to come. The experience for customers viewing HD is still fantastic. Our encoding pipeline takes a UHD master and produces beautiful HD (and SD) streams for all those customers who are viewing on smaller or older displays.

Same in Romania, there is a tax minimum that you need to pay even if you don't make that kind of money. on the other side, there is no max on taxes, sky is the limit.

> The vast majority of users simply won't notice and not care at all if

Users will of course notice and care. It's just they are not versed in shitty tech to properly articulate what they notice.

So every time a user says "the app is broken/slow/hard to use/loses data/can't update data etc." quite often it's because it's some shitty wrapper on top of a shitty "web app".
I have a cat genie, it's great, if you put it in a well ventilated outdoor space, have it run automatically after every time the cat uses it, and toss in a handful of citric acid every week to let it clean itself. Then every three months, take the whole thing apart and pressure wash everything.

It's better than scooping litter every day, by a factor of 3-5x. But it's not magical and wonderful.
That's impressive!

120k is a medium level contract in the UK, at least for my background, so I am technically speaking ... cheap.

In Romania, from what I gather, a director can mean a low level manager. Pretty soon the market will adjust and learn that they are not worth the money. CTO/CEO director levels, yes. Experienced Product Managers that actually drive the product, sure. But management that does nothing but crack the whip and demand to be addressed as "dumneavoastra" to inflate their egos are a dying breed.
> We have direct support available

It would be great if Ionic offered consulting for things like Cordova -> Capacitor migrations. However, the last time I talked to sales it seemed like the best we could get was a report on what plugins we could or couldn't use with Capacitor.

> we're literally in the business of supporting and extending users of our OSS stack

Can you define that a little bit better? Because I've contacted Ionic sales before about seemingly well-used but under-maintained plugins and was basically told we were on our own.

AppFlow isn't a horrible product—but the recent price increases gave me a sour taste. What am I getting for my money? OK. I'm getting a build system which is nice, but I can't stomach paying the new (nearly 10x) price just to be able to do things like kick off builds from CI or the CLI.

What I _would_ pay for is help with other OSS plugin issues, consulting to migrate to Capacitor, training and help with maintaining custom projects, or better yet general development support when things go south (like the dreaded white-screen of death).

Anyway, we've been happy with Ionic and are always excited to see things improve. I don't mean to be downer—rather I'd love to give you guys money so long as it makes sense!

Have you ever researched or tried MDMA? It's "single use" vs. daily and habit/dependency forming.

You can disable play services and uninstall the launcher updates to fix this, then running Netflix will prompt you to enable play services.

Clicking the first "enable" prompt in Netflix will start play services without enabling it and bring you to the app settings page to enable it. Don't enable it. (The force stop button is selectable, which tells you it's now running.)

Hitting back without enabling play services brings you back to Netflix, then you can use most drm streaming services, without play services updating your home screen with ads.

Only catch is play store won't work, but you can enable play services occasionally to download updates or new apps, then just repeat these steps.

That’s great! Bupropion caused a psychotic episode for me maybe ten years ago. Most terrifying day of my life, when the razor blades were calling out to me telling me to cut myself. To be clear, I’ve never had anything like that happen before or since. My daughter spent 9 months in the NICU and got genetic testing for various drugs, with 1 being the baseline expected (I’m going off memory here) and 9 or 10 being “wtf this is super weird”. She got a 9 for bupropion. I’m assuming she got that from her father.
I was surprised by this statement, as logo commands form very much an imperative language.

Agreed. And potentially the age and health of the population going into the pandemic. There's a study comparing Sweden and Norways mortality over the pandemic and the four years proceeding it, which concluded:

> "Our study shows that all-cause mortality was largely unchanged during the epidemic as compared to the previous four years in Norway and Sweden, two countries which employed very different strategies against the epidemic," emphasize study authors in this medRxiv paper. [0]

So apparently Sweden did a better job than Norway of keeping people alive longer before the pandemic, therefore having a larger per-capita population vulnerable to covid.

(It is my understanding that Sweden also fumbled early on protecting those in nursing homes, as many others did. Lots of factors I'm sure, more than just lockdown vs no lockdown.)

I'm not sure about Finland. It is possible the same applies.
