> I found that lots of conversations would happen naturally during the walk and some of them helped me identify process issues that weren't being addressed or discussed yet

I stepped up to a line manager role (to cover someone for maternity leave) so that I was suddenly line-managing my peers. We had always gone for walks at lunchtime and we very quickly evolved the convention that conservations during the walk were with 'old me' vs those in the office that were with 'manager-me'. This allowed me to vent as well, given that we all a fairly cynical non-corporate bunch.
Wow this is awesome.

Here's a random YouTube link I found [0]. I guess the basic idea is to get a patch of the same material, line up the pattern (if any) and fray the ends of the patch to have the threads expose. Then go through and interleave the frayed thread ends to seamlessly fold into the garment's fabric.

Gaming voice products figured out the delay problem long ago (eg if you scream "flank" your team needs to respond ASAP). Video conference products are woefully behind.

Not too often you see someone being glib and pedantic at the same time. ADHD is at least related to a dopamine deficiency and those affected generally self-sooth by seeking stimulation.

It's strange to argue that people are stupid because they don't want to deal with irrelevant technicalities. Are they also stupid because they prefer domain names to IP addresses?
I'm ashamed I haven't heard of Zelda Classic. As a Nintendo fanboy (my github handle is kintendo), I thank you!

Also thank you for this work! When WASM was first announced this is the kind of project that I envisioned we'd see more of. Instead, everything has been mobile-centric and app-centric but you give me hope.

Many anti-choice women have had abortions, because unlike everyone else their need is special.

Nah, we should actually do something to reduce the need for abortions like vasectomies for every male in an anti-choice state. The procedure can be reversed once they can prove they are able to be an effective father, etc - and it causes less long term damage than forced pregnancies.
> When Android actually has pretty decent sandboxing [2] which I've never felt restricted me as a user, and can actually protect you from malware, unlike their recommendation which is just security theater without a sandbox when it comes to malware.

Congrats on not hitting it, I guess? Android is absolutely painful if you try to do anything interesting, and it's becoming annoying even for trivial stuff - it was annoying but understandable when they started killing API surface for tasker and termux to use, it was annoying but understandable when they almost broke termux outright, but it moved beyond being understandable when they restricted file access so much that a third-party app can't move files between directories without the OS prompting you to allow the "delete".

?? secretive, highly competitive and rivalrous insider rings and you saying flatly "no impact" makes it so?

the only thing that did NOT happen was "no impact".. its not public information.. how could cascading side effects be seen or measured?

I think a big part of it as well is the music that comes in when you're first presented with this scene.

I genuinely think this game (which I didn't discover until years later following its release) has the impact that it has for me because of the brilliant soundtrack.

Agree completely. There is a general malaise. It is going to create huge imbalances for people that want to work in office and together. Companies that are built from in-person collaboration will see different levels of productivity and innovation.

I say let the experiment run. It will soon become apparent.
"Gloat?" More like "hold responsible."
Nova release v0.9.3 (Erlang web framework)
Someone said Go isn't really a programing language so much as a DSL for writing web services. I think they meant it as an insult to Go, but I actually think it's Go's big strength. That plus having native concurrency explains a lot of Go's success. Being backed by Google doesn't hurt either.

There's ideal and there's reality.

Do you deserve to get robbed and assaulted if you walk down a dark alleyway alone at night? No. But it's something you can avoid if you think ahead. There are people who will call this "victim blaming" but they are living in a land of magical thinking, not reality.

Turn your phone off if you don't want your provider and apps to know where you are going.
I'm not saying anyone is doomed - you are just going to have dramatically fewer opportunities for serendipitous interactions; that's just a plain fact any way you slice it. And maybe for your career path that isn't important - but for most people it's far more important than they likely realize. Your reputation is the greatest asset you have - it always saddens me at how carelessly many people today treat theirs. Social media doesn't help here either; heck it's a constant struggle for me too.

I also don't think it has to be 100% either way. The most productive time in my career was when I split time in the office and at home. Office time was for meetings, collaboration, strategizing with others, networking, pushing the corporate bureaucracy along, etc. At home time was focus time to actually get shit done.

It worked amazingly well and I consider myself fortunate to work for several organizations that did allow and respect at least some remote work.

Like most things in life, extremes in any direction are rarely healthy, especially over time.

What I think is most dangerous about moves like this is by pushing so hard to one extreme they risk convincing a company like Apple that the whole concept is more trouble than it's worth. I dunno, maybe there is enough of a labor shortage of smart people where Apple will really shoot themselves in the foot if they maintain a hard line - but I doubt it. We rarely are as essential to the organization as we like to think we are :)

It will be interesting to see how it plays out but I think there are better ways of making your case than resorting to race bating and victimhood right out the gate.
> Online stores are more likely to flag your purchase as suspicious on the admin side(e.g the Shopify console)

I'm not sure a VPN provides much utility when you're already punching your (billing|shipping) address and CC number into a website - that is, unless you're using a drop site for your packages, which definitely will make you look like someone who has stolen CC digits and is trying to cash in on them.
Disagree. The exception is handy for getting laws passed, such as the VPPA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Privacy_Protection_Act

That law was a response to Robert Bork's video rental history being published during his confirmation hearings.

For the issue at hand, I'm well in favor of subjecting our lawmakers to the privacy breaches we all should be protected from. No better way to get them to act.
Lessons learned from selling my side project for $20k
Hey HN,

During the past year, my cousin and I acquired an abandoned side project, monetized it and eventually sold it for ~$20,000.

In the end, the project was generating around $700/mo and had 3000 registered users.

However, we were never able to truly find a scalable user acquisition channel so we ended up selling it recently.

Some of the lessons I learned include, not optimizing for AppSumo users, building trust with potential acquirers, and learning the value of building a strong acquisition channel.

If you want to hear more about the lessons I've summarized them in this article:

Can you recommend me any real working website where I could buy cheap one time virtual number that could be used to enable 2FA for my account?

And I hope they will never ever again ask me to confirm anything using that number.
>Superman, Batman, Disney's Snow White, and early Looney Tunes characters will all fall into the public domain between 2031 and 2035.

Superman, Batman, and Snow White will be legally interesting. Looney Tunes are forgotten and ready for public domain.
Thoughts on Zonelets (linked earlier)? It's very much in that GeoCities/Neocities niche, without being PHP or PHP-alike/-adjacent. (See also: <https://ichi.city>.) Once you have something like that, you can do a lot with some way to process basic forms. (On that note: <https://riku.miso.town>.)

The KBFS-backed keybase.pub and the never-officially-launched Keybase Pages also had such huge potential.
> So stop putting them under a lot of pressure.

I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Pressure can be perceived even without expectations. I think especially junior developers have a hard time knowing which deadlines are actually important, and may tend to experience a much larger responsibility for the entire project than anyone expects of them.

In part this may be down to a bad communication style from managers, a good manager shields the team from worrying about clouds on the horizon; but this isn't always the case.

I've had people I've had to sit down and tell that this overtime they're putting in isn't expected of them, nobody asks this of them, it isn't their responsibility but the team got this, it's not worth burning out at age 24 over some sprint deliverable that's like just a cell in a spreadsheet that nobody really cares about.
We are not restricted to one membership (of course).

Editing for the skimmer who will not read the implicit: it's about an interest in meta-skills, transversal, exportable.
Entrenched interests would be a driver as well as conventional wisdom here to date imo. That said there are indeed millions of acres in the mid-west (US) and beyond operated by commercial growers whom leverage the benefits of inoculating their acres with beneficial microbes. Ultimately mother nature dictates yield mainly thru moisture availability (acres under a pivot excluded) so growers focus on risk mitigation and nutrient efficiencies to achieve profitability. The paradigm is shifting away from heavy synthetics due to costs, generational transitions in operation management and our understanding of the rhizosphere. Beneficial microbes are not the only answer but leveraging their inherent capabilities is an effective tool and currently available.
Honestly, I don't blame him, after the onslaught he's been defending against in every other thread since Hare's launch. It's really embarrassing to see that side of the Rust community acting this way.
The fact that we can distinguish between objects 3-14km in size at a distance of 64ly is a remarkable tribute to the power of science.

When someone says "anyone can do it" I understand that to mean what they said, which is that they believe anyone can do it.
HN tends to be pretty micropayment / cryptobro averse (for good reason, mostly) but I think this is a problem that crypto could legitimately solve - Tie an anonymous 'identity' to a well-seasoned (unmoved for >x time, where x = days for some things or maybe years for some things) wallet with some reasonable amount of funding in it ($100 or something) and you become 'Guy who owns that hundred bucks'. Moving the hundred bucks unseasons it. The provider only respects your claim to be an individual if you can prove you've got a pile of 100 seasoned bucks. If you do something I don't like, I can ban that pile from further interaction. Malicious users would immediately move the money around, but at least the malicious actors would need a lot of piles of money constantly moving around and 'seasoning' to create a bunch of fake individual identities, which gets prohibitively expensive at scale for all but nation-state type actors which you're not going to be able to defend against anyway.

Bam - I am anonymous, but have (mostly) proven I am a real person with (mostly) reasonably good intentions.
Heritability of traits is a really messy and difficult problem. Sere, you can breed tameness into wild foxes, but that doesn't mean you can easily breed more tameness into already tame foxes/dogs. There might be some low-hanging fruit that's easy to exploit and after that, it's mostly random chance and the environment that determines things. But that again depends on what the environment is like - if all dog owners routinely raise their puppies in the same extreme way, their inherited differences might either be invisible because none get the chance to express them, or even more significant because that's the only factor left that can sort out how they respond to their environment.
I believe the parent is suggesting that people buy broad-market exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in whatever type of account is most tax-efficient.
> Now that I am close to sixty, this is a really big deal, and partly why I walk. It is the least injury-prone exercise.

I’d say biking is (in the right environment). It’s certainly easier on the knees than walking.
Sadly, you can say that about nearly all of corporate America especially the big ones.

I think your comment is very insightful. I agree with your distinction between the two kinds of burnout. I feel like the second one you mention is often the much worse of the two as least with the first case there's the potential to discuss, joke and possibly commiserate over head count and long hours.

I would be interested in hearing how you went about moving forward form your burnout.
As someone who has needed ADA accommodations for a serious medical condition, they haven't worked for me. I've had upper management/HR lay me off twice even though my manager and manager's manager tried to keep me.

If everyone has more flexibility, I don't need to risk my job asking for reasonable accommodations.

It also helps stomp on stupidity like requiring 14 people in a remote office in the middle of Nowhere, Midwest to wear black tennis shoes. (I own no tennis shoes and can't wear them.) There was literally no reason for it except to have a dress code.
Seeing the customers bring their garments alongside their story was beautiful.

They don't just get their clothes repaired, they get their memories alive, they care for the past events, good or bad.

The father and daughter team in fact goes way beyond working on the clothes, they somehow heal the customers as well.

A beautiful documentary, really.
I already covered that contingency. All the other criteria you've mentioned are qualitative. Which returns us to income levels, which again, IQ doesn't predict very well. And the claim that you'll find people with "higher IQ" (not clinically disabled), to be more successful is specious because you're including the portion of the tail that is dysfunctional.
Seems like there's nothing in that model that would stop you from being able to remember events that didn't even happen to you.
Unsure about others experience but from an engineering perspective using tooling like exalidraw or miro we're able to brainstorm much more effectively than just a single whiteboard along with being able to have everyone contribute.

What I find often is that there's TOO many people in a meeting that aren't needed for the brainstorming sessions and essentially don't contribute to the meeting.
I think gaming voice chat usually has a keyboard trigger. They solve echo cancellation by assuming microphones are usually off! Modern video conference software assumes users aren't using headphones, so they need sophisticated echo cancellation. Now, whether the delay is a side effect of noise cancellation, or one of the mechanisms is not clear to me.
You can't equate a purely financial obligation with all the responsibilities of being a legal guardian let alone the process of going through a pregnancy.

I don't think it is fair for one parent to bear 100% of the financial responsibility for a child. I would be in support of a system that allowed a parent to relinquish any financial obligation to a child in exchange for forsaking any familial rights parenthood would traditionally grant them as long as the state would step in and assume that financial obligation. Until the state does that, I think expecting the father to contribute to supporting the child is fair.

If someone advocates for a parent to not have an obligation to pay child support without a way for the other parent to receive the money that child support would traditionally provide them, then they aren't truly concerned about the wellbeing of the child. I therefore will ignore any anti-abortion argument they make that places the wellbeing of the unborn child above the wellbeing of the mother.
> Responding "I just submitted the change, here's a link" would have been more reasonable.

This is entitlement to free work. Raising an issue is much more reasonable than an HN user submitting a change on behalf of another random HN user. I do understand that the OP wasn't asking for someone to do this for them, though, and not displaying supported OSes is a totally valid critique.
Platforms should not own content and subscribers graph. Users should own content and subscribers graph, preferably by reliance on public key cryptography. Then you will be notified of your peers' contents on any platform.

Imagine a popular but controversial blogger deplatforming attempt, followed by his 300k subscribers getting an 'Your contact has just uploaded their first video on NextTube' notification in five minutes. You don't need many platforms when platform understands they only have power to de-content themselves.

You also no longer need those rows of social icons since you only need to subscribe to a creator once.

Content should reside in P2P/DHT mesh and platforms would only present, curate, decorate and discover it. But it should also be discoverable via PKI+DHT.
On that note, is there a good consensus on IPv6 blocking? I know some ISPs provide a /48 while mine (AT&T) only provides a /64 to each customers. I would imagine most websites, when blocking a v6 for abuse, block the whole /64?
It wasn't bad. The people were a little bland and John Galty, but I love playing board games. The main problem was that they call it a Chicago chapter, but it was way out in the suburbs. I assumed that it was to be as far away from black people as possible (along with its membership, I think I was the only black person at the first meeting I went to out of probably 60 people IIRC), but I assume bad faith.

edit: would recommend if you live nearby and treat it as a board gaming club.

edit2: also, if I remember correctly you could bring two guests to meetings, so you're not stuck with only Mensa members.
At the very least a Mensa test at a test centre is much different than any test I have found online. But last time I checked you can only increase your score marginally through practice. An 80 IQ person probably couldn't practice to 150.
The justification in the literature is that since all types of intelligence are correlated, just testing a relatively neutral one like progressive matrices is a good choice, since it would generalize out to other types of intelligence.

The flaw in this is that types of intelligence are correlated on average, they still vary within an individual, so IQ tests may say something about populations of people, but they are a poor assessment of an individual.
I don't know about Django but in Rails† the migrations are numbered with a timestamp (in the filename itself), instead of a sequential number, precisely to avoid (git) merge conflicts. Then they're run in alphabetical order. There's a dedicated table to record which migrations have been run already.

† 10 years ago, anyway.
I see - I definitely haven't been keeping up that hard, so I may be surprised by recent improvements :)
I took this test some months ago in the way they suggested and they said that I have a very high chance being admitted to Mensa or some such.

I don't ever want to.

What's the point of a community that is solely focused on some figure-based puzzle solving? I don't find any.

And I have met several highly successful, resourceful, and influential (very effective in academic/business) who never had their IQ tested.

And I have met multiple Mensa members who aren’t much. One was outright useless.

Being a Mensa member usually means your parents want to feel special by admitting their children to such an institute. It serves as an extension of their social status.

To me- it is practically a sign of privilege and having helicopter parents.

I never took an IQ test. The one once prescribed by a doctor was cancelled midway by my dad because they hinted I had a very high IQ and my dad didn’t want me to live with hubris of a high-IQ kid. I am grateful to him now.

A low or high IQ score wouldn’t matter to me now because I am beyond three-digits-signalling or defined-by-three-digits nonsense. But it would have mattered to a ten years old. I had an unhealthy level of arrogance already by topping each class and getting a lot of awards in co-curriculums.
I'd like to see an algorithmic grading system that grades every repo publicly on things like: number of (transitive) dependencies, regularity of releases (explicitly not frequency since some things release reliably once a year), test coverage, and so on.

I'd like this to be public so that anyone can enter in a package and check out its score. My thought is that over time this might influence/produce a natural selection of only high quality repos.

My other idea, which is what this post is getting at, is that some group of devs band together to build a "distribution" of reliable JavaScript packages like every Linux distro does with the packages they distribute.
"All the bad sequels"? From all Monkey Island games, I'd say only Escape could be considered somewhat bad. It felt rather uninspired compared to others, control scheme was awful and it aged the worst way of all MI games. All the rest are really great.

Monkey Island series has been drastically changing the art style in its every single installment. When it comes to this new style, I find it hard to judge from still unpopulated screenshots, as they feel way too static to me. The trailer looks nice though.
This is a much better idea than the d216, and probably a lot more fun.
