As a footnote. Let’s face it, good devs are good communicators. We do it constantly with our team members. I’m blocked, I need help, why don’t you work on, what if we did..

Daily scrum and weekly grooming and quarterly planning. That’s for product. That’s counting beans and making sure no one goes rogue and accidentally innovates.

Daily scrum is nothing more than a product status meeting. If you’re a dev and you’re waiting for that meeting everyday to tell someone you’re blocked or need something.. then there’s a communication problem.
I have an old Osbourne Executive, that amber screen is amazingly accurate
Yeah, "historically"... But not any more.
There are pockets where salary inflation is concentrating, and web3 maybe one of them. If you're a senior blah blah and want to get paid, it's hard to beat the high margin monopoly companies in FAANG. Once you're in the club it's a lot easier to switch.

Long term is hard to project let alone correctly forecast considering the world upends itself every 10 years or so.
Wow, that is some old farty code! "Free the lizard" indeed, many are we who are happy that it happened! So thank you Mozilla.

Has anyone tried to build that commit in modern days? Would be interesting to see how it runs and how little the existing web would work with it. Maybe HN would load, but most other sites wouldn't. Since TLS wasn't defined until 1999, I'm guessing you would have to run a HTTPS->HTTP proxy first, as HTTPS wouldn't work.
No. Splitting the difference could be a term invented to describe this, but it already has a different meaning. It's use is if I offer you two slices and you counter with a demand for six slices, then "splitting the difference" just refers to using the average value of four.
The people inside will absolutely receive a larger radiation dose. A thin metal shell does not block a large percentage of cosmic radiation.
Your map only appears to show the expected output of panels in those locations, with dark red and red obviously showing higher output. It does not support the claim that putting panels in the "wrong place" will produce negative economic and environmental returns. Maybe that's an argument that can be made, but you haven't really made it yet.
> Maybe the level of excitement you feel for the task is a message from your "unconscious" mind saying that this task is a good one to do right now?

I very strongly believe there is a bigger unconscious component to productivity than there is a conscious one.

Some mornings I wake up and I want to jump into the super nasty bucket of customer support tickets. "What the hell is still broken!? I am gonna fix that shit".

On others, I will find customer support items antagonistic in every way, but would really like to spend time on a bunch of deep tech debt that has been piling up.

And then there's the mornings where I wake up and I'd rather just play overwatch or <insert latest AAA title> all day. And you know what? At this point, I just fucking let it happen. I have found, over the course of about a decade, that if I let my monkey brain indulge periodically, the disciplined mind has a much better chance taking control the next time around. Some days I find myself very productively flip-flopping between gaming and work. I've watched some of my peers take this too far in the wrong way, but for whatever reason I can keep it on rails.
This has been happening for the better part of a decade already. Back around 2012, I had already stopped seeing Vimeo come across my browsing history completely, but I was reminded of it's existence at a film festival where I heard about and saw vimeo being used to screen most of the more independent films. When I asked some of the festival organizers about how movies were screened, they said there were two ways (again, back in 2012): Digital Cinema Package (DCP) for more mainstream films (a DRM-laden harddrive package that was carried around to the screening location in a locked, nondescript hardcase), and password-protected Vimeo.

Since then, the only time I've interacted with Vimeo was to watch episodes of IKEA Heights[0], as at the time this was the only place where it was officially distributed (i.e. in original quality, rather than re-encoded and re-uploaded to youtube). Great, weird, short series if you are interested. The play between the drama/acting, and then being brought back to reality by being caught, is very fun.

If I recall correctly, this was around when they removed recommendation type features from their site, which was the first sign that I saw, personally, that they were moving away from something consumer focused.

The DCP system was intriguing to me. They made DCP sound like a pain in the ass, requiring expensive projection equipment and some kind of special internet connection (they weren't familiar with that part) to receive films not distributed physically or to receive updates to films. Later, I looked up DCP on Wikipedia[1] and found it enlightening. The thing that stood out to me was the use of asymmetric encryption to ensure a particular DCP distribution was only able to be played on a particular projector, thanks to a symmetric key for the film being encrypted with a projector's public key, and decrypted using the private key stored on some kind of FIPS compliant HSM.

How do you specifically find work?
Is there an agreed upon way to self host videos for less?

For those of you that have done this, what would/does hosting and serving large videos cost you a month and how are you doing it?
I would say that the US rejected both the Treaty of Versailles and league of nations, and the American contribution to post WW1 Germany couldn't undo the billions in reparations that Germany was compelled to pay after the war.

The whole point of the Marshall plan was to rehabilitate their economies under representative governments - it would have failed equally badly after WW2 had the same crippling punishments been applied as after WW1.

We have tried propping up governments and economies since, and many of the efforts have failed because the governments were either corrupt or unable to foster a culture of peaceful representation of the populace- evidence in support of the point we both agree on, at least, that the Marshall plan didn't succeed in a vacuum.
For me the key to using fzf has been remembering that you can pipe ANYTHING into it. For example, grovelling though a git repo with grep might take multiple tries and careful refinement of search patterns. Or you can

git log --oneline | fzf

and interactively fuzz your way to the commit you're looking for. Having the ability to just update live with backspace when the search isn't matching makes a tremendous difference.
I suspect not. A VPS on the order of £10/month could do this fairly well, and I've seen managed services options at £50/hour/month. Even assuming half a day to set up standard monitoring services etc, and another to set up someone's choice of FLOSS video hosting and blogging platform of choice. Subsequent years won't have the outlay of the first either.

Ask HN: How to set up a 50/50 ownership company with a co-founder?
Currently working with a co-founder on a product and we want to set up a legal business before we launch. We are leaning toward an LLC because we do not need to take any investor funding. However, we're not sure how to structure it.

We've agreed that we both own 50% of the company, but do we want to set it up this way? He has a trust and says that if we set up the LLC as a single-member LLC instead of a multi-member LLC we will save on taxes and we'll also be more protected if we ever get sued. I will still get 50% of the profit we make, but I won't be listed as a legal owner of the business on paper.

My concern is that this gives him the power to cut me out if our product gets really big. I don't think he would ever do that because he's a good friend, but you never know.

What is the best approach in setting up a 50/50 company with my co-founder?
That the colonial power aims to stay/settle/control in the lands conquered, and extract something from them/trade with or from them.

The Swedish in the Thirty years war didn't intend to settle or claim the lands they were fighting in - they just fought against a religious enemy and for power/influence/French money. ( Pomerania is somewhat of an exception).
There is natural inflation from productivity and innovations especially in service dominant economy.

People defiantly get taught to make such connections and people therefore do feel a connection. But all that proves is propaganda works.

It’s no more accurate to trace China’s history through prior empires covering it’s approximate borders as it is to it through the British empire which ruled some of it’s current territory, subjugated them, and still has a huge influence on current culture. The obvious reason to do so is to suggest a shared cultural identity.

Even just trying to pick which empires to include as Chinese is completely arbitrary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri_66ztYa5o.

As far as I know it's purely local search. I'm guessing this is part of the development arc towards AR applications but in the near term solves the problem of being able to search Photos for "birthday party" and hopefully get something sensible out.
While the TRADFRI system is fairly basic, it's cheap, ad-hoc (I also used it to make one ceiling light smart at my parents house), and integrates fully with HomeKit, which is a plus for me. Their extremely cheap shortcut buttons and motion sensors ($12) also appear as native HomeKit buttons and sensors, so you can use them in home automations without adding an extra hub or buying an expensive native Thread sensor. (And HomeKit has native support for "notify me when triggered if no one's home" on sensors, so you can make a cheap, basic home security system)

TRADFRI is also local-only with no accounts or cloud (but with some basic automation on their gateway). If you want outside control, you can connect it to Google Home/HomeKit/Alexa. (Or use something like Home Assistant and co.)

I wish they had "make light fixture smart" wall switches, though, but given the nature of IKEA I get why they stick to smart bulbs and fixtures.
How did you start and how long did it take to start making a sustainable income? I would prefer to switch to something that puts me on my feet but I can’t imagine how I could make it work financially.

TBH at this point in my career I think I’d rather just deliver mail even if it paid 75% of my current salary (unfortunately it’s more like 33%).
Deeply agreed, I observed a ton of clickbait and misleading title on Medium these days. Some writers try too hard to catch our attention with fascinating title, only to keep people reading long wall of text that does not seem to be coherent at all. Most of the time, these look like the output of another similar article put through QuillBot.

I guess it is mostly because of their partnership model with writers, because writers are paid monthly based on how much time Medium members spend reading their stories. The longer members read, the more writers earn.
Wait.. I think I can solve this! The implication is: self respect > likelihood of remaining employed!
Needing gov't ID to follow search links is dystopian, and antithetical to the original spirit of the Internet.

Google should flat out refuse when governments make these requests.
Now that’s a cool journey.

I made the switch to gamedev a decade ago after more traditional startups. If you’d like to chat about the industry I’d be happy to. I helped build a larger studio, then went indie with some moderate success, now I’m doing the build a studio thing again because I am an insane person.
Ask HN: Off the shelf user management and subscription product?
I've created a new server that is showing some promise but will need to manager users, and even subscriptions to move forward. Currently its just a Rust backend and an Angular frontend, no logins, etc.

Is there anything off the shelf that can help, 1) user management and 2) subscriptions? I'd rather not get too bogged down in these details myself.

I know there are services like Auth0 to help with the authentication (social signon and 2fa are a must), and Stripe for payments, but anything a little more integrated from the start?

It would be OK if I had to run something like a Python application beside mine for user management.

Thanks.
Because it will save them money on all videos that aren't fully watched. Great ROI
True, but if you want to buy something of value, those things do take effort. Pumping in more money doesn't create value.
The fact that modern CPU architectures in general have abandoned custom prediction hints suggests that static branch prediction is being viewed as less important.
For further inspiration, there are some interesting scripts making use of fzf here: https://github.com/DanielFGray/fzf-scripts
It's a modestly interesting point, but it certainly doesn't make sense in the concept of pizza. The author tries to appeal to fairness, but where the fallback positions are knowingly arranged randomly. Therefore, the naive 6-6 solution is just refusing to adjust for a superior random arrangement in the experiment, which was unfairly assigned. Therefore, I would expect the naive 6-6 to be chosen the plurality of them time.

There's also a question of if there is any value to clam pizza beyond the initial four slices. That sounds like a lot of food that reheats poorly.

Now, if you want to say this applies to something in the real world as a concept, I would say it's not a novel concept. No one expects a new employee to capture 100% of the value they add, nor do people expect the new employee to work for free.
you can probably find "live streaming" services

- they're unlikely to use public cloud providers (prohibitively expensive for high bandwidth use cases)

- they have more customers with similar needs to you

- its still a managed service, let them take care of it

the other comment already mentions Cloudflare, you could also consider https://bunny.net?ref=6akqfap0uq which is a small CDN provider focusing on cost effective solution (10x cheaper than AWS/GCP easily)
Yeah I completely agree it's harder than a short post by a software engineer on HN :grin: ...

But you're right that it's amazing how many variables add to the optimal solution.

I think part of what's hard is that it's a process that includes time as a variable. Who wants to hold onto land for 10 years while it prepares for productivity?

I think in time we'll see a combo of a need for industrial scale soilless vertical farming to feed a huge population, and a return to extremely sustainable solutions for the aristocrats that can afford the fanciest "farmers market" food.
This is true, by default Android apps do not trust user-installed certificate authorities. IMO the easiest solution if you're doing security testing on a dedicated device is MagiskTrustUserCerts[1]. If you're not testing on a dedicated device or you don't want to root the device, I'd recommend using the objection[2] tool which has a guided mode for patching an apk, and you can modify the manifest to add your CA or to trust all user-installed CAs.

I wouldn't be surprised if "99th percentile of users" is calculated across all user accounts, including ones who logged in once a decade ago and never uploaded a video.
I feel simultaneously amused and dismayed at your "their business model is doomed" analysis that somehow fails to account for the business model of "sell people something they want at a profitable price".

I want to say "peak HN" but that would be doing the HN community a disservice, so I'll say "peak 'peak HN'" instead.
No.

Personally I think the entire web3 thing is going to fizzle out before it goes anywhere useful. It’s already fallen off my radar for the most part

I don’t think a mainstream audience will pay for internet content in this way. Nobody is going to pay to post to Twitter, as an example, and if it doesn’t mean you need to pay to create content in this way then you might as well ditch the web3 part entirely

Intrigued if I’m wrong, but heavily doubtful
They're doing a horrible job at "B2B" atm then. Have a client that is thinking of using them, and I'm starting to think that Vimeo is a "Bad Idea". I can't safely or with any confidence advise them what their costs are going to be a few months down the line. You know it's a bad sign when you have to go through a sales or "contact us for a custom plan" process in order to get details. That's not B2B anymore, that's now "B 2 VeryLarge-B".
I'm curious what the 0.8% of assembly would be for, would that be maybe for things like video decoders.

I think it's fair to have opinions, but you are overstating your case here -

> You could have had an entire career in the video game industry in the amount of time he's managed to produce some pile of crap that doesn't even have a complete gameplay loop.

Including taking time to explain concepts, Q+A, and design choices made to educate that are then iterated upon (eg, doing 2d graphics from scratch then moving to 3d), he has accumulated approximately 28 weeks of full time work.[1] That's a very sad "career" in video games.

Ah I created the account on the device during initial setup, so that explains why I was never asked for CC info. Though from reading through the help page it appears they have an option for "none" for CC info when you create the account later. There are no screenshots on the page but I found some on Youtube.

Eh? I mean if you have a crap car maybe? The allowance is 45p per mile going down to 25p after 10k miles.

If it doubles, then yeah, we're screwed.

To be fair though I guess a lot of people own fancy new cars and so they're already paying more than 45p/mile due to depreciation alone
I built a system that does just this (it's a little bit more complex, of course, but the gist is the same) but for videos that are self-hosted (on our own bare metal servers and data storage) and automatically uploaded from devices in the field. I've never bothered to check costs because they're trivially insignificant for us; We just don't have that many users / devices. It's a niche hobby project that nets us enough money to support itself. I haven't even had to touch any of this infrastructure in literally years. My co-founder occasionally needs to plug a new data drive into the primary and/or back up storage (the server closets are on-premise in his garage) and run an interactive python script to get things configured. Otherwise it all "just works" and maintains itself perfectly well.

Look at transit prices https://blog.telegeography.com/2021-global-ip-transit-price-... 1mbps a month is 320 gigabyte so 2TB is 6mbps which costs a whopping 3.6 USD in Hong Kong 1.2 USD elsewhere. Where I am wrong?

If you don't want to deal with storage, Backblaze B2 is $5/TB/month and the Bandwidth Alliance will reduce/eliminate the egress costs.

>What are the net advantages of being in a city? It used to be access to good employment was the main thing but with remote work this often isn't as much of a factor anymore.

This is only really true for the type of privileged person posting on HackerNews (me included), other groups don't have that privilege in the same way.

>Access to better restaurants, music and sporting events are definitely advantages

Add to this the potential to live without having to own a car. The transportation infrastructure of good cities beat having to drive all the time.

One other popular thing I've heard is a much larger dating pool, which is probably true.

>limited access to nature

Good cities include good green spaces. I can access at least two major hiking trails that stretch for about a week with public transportation, and also a huge archipelago.

>traffic congestion

This is an issue unique to car-oriented development, though, because of how poorly this category of development scales. Cities with high-quality public transportation and bicycle infrastructure don't suffer from the same amount of traffic congestion, and the issue is less relevant as good alternatives for getting around exist.

> is it common to commute by car in France?

Outside few big cities yes, not for the mean mileage of USA (and Canada?) suburbs, but range from 60-120km/day (37-75 miles) round-trip total are fairly common, public transports outside big and mean city do exists but it's not much used nor have a significant cover, it's almost limited to service schools and few elderly or tourism in specific areas.

Rails in the past was significantly developed but nowadays are developed only between few areas for expensive high-speed trains or commercial freight. See http://carfree.fr/img/2015/06/sncf.jpg just as "big picture" example. Even hi-speed trains (like TGV) lower their speed because rails upkeep for real hi-speed is too costly...

Roads on contrary, with a certain variability, tend to be well maintained and designed well enough to commute at human speed and many have more than one car, most still live outside cities (in the sense of European dense cities) to have individual homes.

Salaries vary but I think they are close respect of overall cost of living to Canada... Indeed the Gilet Jaunes movement born against the first round of gas price hikes few years ago (just taxes), and now even if covid + Ukrainian war have MUCH silenced anything protests step up again essential for the same inflationary/economical reasons.
