I modified Ghost to support a non-mailgun email provider (postmark) and it was pretty easy. So easy, I wondered why they never did it even though there were open issues for using other providers. It turns out mailgun has an affiliate program[1] that I venture Ghost is using. The amount of telemetry that ghost sends is also concerning...

Anyway, I abandoned it. I wouldn't recommend Ghost to anyone. It's a good blogging product, but it seems they're in the business of making money and not a great product.

Any tips on making sure that Slack isn't the place for important decisions?

We're facing this problem at the moment, with Slack being heavily used for almost everything.

Main difficulty is changing culture around its use - there are plenty alternatives that we push people towards, but they tend to get ignored in favour of Slack since asking is easier there.
I have not found in my own game programming experience that there's a whole lot of pointer soup, except in temporary scopes that can use stuff like arenas (indeed, this would be pretty terrible for performance) and there's usually a pretty clear ownership structure to be found (ownership may be muddled in a logical sense, but this isn't that relevant from a memory management perspective). Perhaps this is because I'm using a language that doesn't mandate reference counting though, so it's easy to do stuff like just build up temporary references into arrays etc. when necessary...
Should be noted that compared to Unity, GNOME 3 is an even more extreme variant of the phone/netbook UI.
> If you're stripping screws, either your technique is bad or the screws are garbage.

Or you're asking for more than the screws are good for. I work in R&D. I've had to do things with fasteners that no one should have to do... and I know this because we redesigned that BS as soon as we could. Phillips has given me plenty of trouble in anything harder than light duty use. Torx and hex have both always been fine. Even if hex is theoretically not very good, somehow it's always good enough in the real world. (The availability of hex ball drivers probably accounts for at least some of this. But now there are Torx ball drivers too!) I've got JIS Phillips, I've got American Phillips, I've got DIN/ISO Phillips, I can tell the difference between them, I know when to use all of them, and I can confidently say I hate 'em all.
I’ve only ever used mine as portable vises, or to apply controlled pressure like snapping shut a press-fit watch case back. I always use sockets for actual nuts.
That is neat.

I've been moving my reading consumables to email for the past 2 years for indexing, categorizing and its been very stable. I'm going to try this out.

Thanks!
You shuld check out Server Side Includes (SSI) which enables you to do inludes, run scripts etc via the webserver (Apache, Nginx). Caddy has its own version that also handles Mardown and Frontmatter. Caddys own documentation is using this feature in fact, and the source is available for those who want to see how it works. It's called "Templating" in Caddy, not SSI.
I agree the list is an oversimplification, but it’s largely accurate in my life.

I have no problem paying for software. The problem is most software is total crap these days. And I refuse to pay subscriptions. There are great examples of stuff I'm HAPPY to pay for. iStat menus, KeyboardMaestro (and I used to love 1password before they went subscription).
The problem with the “many markets” idea is that outside of taxis and food delivery, there’s often not enough consistent demand for “on-demand”

Plumbers and masseurs and dog walkers didn’t build up reservation books because it was hard to make real-time bookings (phones enabled that), they did it because it’s the most efficient way to plan working hours so you’re not sitting around your entire life waiting for work.

I did something similar: OCR'd a book, then translated it to another language to make it accessible for a friend.

However, I also contacted the author, and sent them a copy! At first, they were furious - I'd even translated ('pirated') the copyright notice...

But things settled down, and now I'm working with the author on translations to various other languages. It's given the book a whole new audience!
I've never transferred through lax but I don't mind flying into and out of it. From that perspective its pretty good. 7 terminals distributes security lines well enough to never be that crowded when I go at least. Your gate is then a 10 min walk at most from security at your terminal. On the arrivals side, you hop off the plane and baggage claim is again a 10 minute walk away, usually my bag is already on the conveyer when I come to it. It's a farcry from the song and dance you have to do at airports like denver. It feels like its 7 small airports wired up in series. I can see how that could screw you if your transfer is between different airlines perhaps though.

This is excellent writeup I could have made, but @bluehatbrit made it much better.

Slack is very distracting. I surprise some people saying I am pushing every meaningful convo out of slack and hopefully one day to completely scrap it and throw away.

Emails are way better since it pushes people to think the problem first, and you'll be surprised how many problems have found solution before "Send" button is pressed.

It's easier to just send something like "Hiyo Mark, hihi! Wazzup?". This is where it gets dangerous to performance and focus.
Yes, would love a writeup!

> Almost every change Gnome3 did over Gnome2 was a change for the worse or for far worse.

At first it felt like they just went for change for a sake of change so they could be unique among the DEs but now, it seems the long-term goal wasn't just creating a combination between desktop and mobile environment but aiming at being the mobile environment first with optional support for desktops.

And indeed, reading all experiences people had with devs working around Gnome nowadays it seems they forgot they're an open-source community and decided to play corporation card, where it's totally fine to ignore the end-user and their feedback.
You should look at logseq [1]. It is primarily an outliner but has a good integrated PDF reader with highlighting & annotation support. Content is saved as markdown.

It has pretty much replaced other note taking tools for me, but I know of people who use it in conjunction with Obsidian/Zettlr/Zotero.

That’s a very strong presumably, on a very niche use case of mobile devices.

It is not an accident that on powerful server machines all FAANG companies use managed languages for their critical web services, and there is no change on the horizon.

> your torque depends on you keeping a vice-like grip the whole time you're turning it or they'll slip

The post contradicts this. It shows the pliers gripping onto fasteners with only light finger pressure from one side. My own experience with these tools corroborates this -- as long as I'm pushing the moving handle towards the fixed one, the tool has a strong tendency to remain closed. I've only ever had to squeeze hard when trying to loosen well-rounded fasteners and when using them as a convenient parallel press.

A neat upside is that if pushing on the moving handle rotates the tool in the desired direction, then when you loosen your grip and twist the other direction, the tool will open wide, sort of ratcheting around the fastener to the next flat face. It's not as fast as a ratcheting wrench, but far faster than an adjustable wrench's procedure of place, tighten, rotate, loosen, remove, and repeat.
I'm not an expert, but I've seen the inside of a couple of deals like this in the $100M range. I saw larger % earnouts than described below (e.g. in the 30-50% range), which were based on milestones (e.g. products going to market on time) and income (e.g. $ customer sales over following several years). It's worth noting that the deals closed in a significant amount of stock so that is also an incentive to keep the buyers price high (but that the earner realistically has limited influence over that).

CGNAT also needs IP-port-user logging to support disclose request by law enforcement.
Yeah, that's not true.
Like you, I find them much more useful as wrench-like pliers than as pliers-like wrenches.

Don't buy these if you think they'll replace your fixed size wrenches. Do buy these if you're often doing weird crap that you'd never even dream to use fixed wrenches for. And consider them if you hate your Channellocks but wish you didn't.
I suppose it's good advice depending on your target audience.

Generally, a lot of indie hacker types of entrepreneurs just like building cool things!

A bit more proactive on the communicative and sales side is not a bad thing, but I believe it's best to play to your individual strengths.

Before there were neural language models, there were n-gram models, skip n-gram models, latent dirichlet allocation models, a whole zoo of non-neural machine learning models. Google used some of them to power old Google Translate, which was still a very impressive piece of technology.
Kind of off-topic, but I've been enjoying Regolith[0] on Ubuntu lately.

It uses i3 as a window manager, but integrates a bit more neatly with things like the Gnome Settings application so you can use the tiling window manager but still don't have to configure everything the hard way.

The problem with this thought is that HN tends to skew strongly male. I have no idea what current stats are, but, say, twelve years ago, surveys suggested active participants were as much as 98 percent male.

Dating apps tend to skew male, iirc, and it's a problem. I doubt they typically skew that far male.

I believe female representation has improved here over the years, but it probably still skews very strongly male.
Unity was great. Pop comes close, but unity just worked.
It's in everyone's interests for maintenance of legacy stuff to be as easy as possible.

That means building stuff with clear boundaries and simple API's and the ability to split parts off to run in sandboxes or containers.

Build it like that in the first place, and you'll be able to maintain compatibility for decades, even with few users and minimal development effort.

I suspect none of the above is true in this case.
> It's Linux software. Support for other operating systems is an afterthought.

We're not talking non-MacOS [or non-Windows?] -like behaviour here. But the app not actually functioning. So why offer versions for other OSes, if it's Linux only software?
Torx are readily available everywhere here. Even discounter chains like Aldi have seasonal offerings (toolset containing Torx screwdrivers). I think you mean Apple's special pentalobe design for the iPhone (maybe also macbooks now)
I've just spent 2 years writing something which ain't got anything else like it. It was technically pretty difficult and needed a lot of background knowledge.

What i remembered is that it was widely hated, and canonical was shoving it down everyone's throats and saying things like "we know that unity is objectively the best desktop environment that ever existed", allowing them to discard any critique.

But eventually they had to face reality, and gave up.

To clear up some confusion, I believe people are using the terms SSR and hydration interchangeably. Hydration is a new technology that uses SSR and then adds reactivity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_(web_development)

The server code will use the framework to handle SSR and hydration. Meaning that all you have to do is write the frontend and you get SSR for free.

I disagree with this interpretation.

It is a question of versioning and packaging. Basically, v0 of a product is for testing the initial hypotheses that people are interested in buying at all. And it also serves as a tool for finding the initial "fans" that are excited by your product vision and will help you flesh out the product.

"Sell before you build" is just way to communicate this.

btw: The post is very short. Here it is:

> This is such bad advice.
It assumes that everyone will nail their product on the first go. Almost no-one does.

> If I went to customers and pitched Songbox to them with what was the initial version of it I had in my head - I would have gotten nothing. And if I'd given up on it at THAT point then I would have missed out on (a couple years later) having a business that's well into X thousand MRR and even more importantly, working with some amazing people and having truly exciting and unique experiences.

> There is no doubt that "sell before you build" will work for some people; but everything and anything will work for SOME people.

> For the general populace of makers it is crushingly bad advice.

I think that's pretty much the case for shortening time frame of IP rights. Which means, they shouldn't be treated as property has been traditionally treated. Although as a socialist, I think perhaps we shouldn't have time unlimited property rights (above certain reasonable boundary, say $10M) in general.

You don't even need to add Spotify to that equation.

I have all my music stored locally. It's about 300 CDs that i ripped (out of a 1000 CD collection) and stored the originals in the attic. Since iTunes removed their DRM, i've purchased my music there.
My iPhone is "plenty" good for playing music where i want it, and with an iTunes match subscription, i have my music available in the cloud.

I don't subscribe to any music streaming service, and i doubt i ever will, especially since "modern music" seems to be about cranking out one hit wonders with very little quality and skill.

It may be survival bias, but i am hard pressed to find any band/musician from the past 2 decades we will still listen to in 2 decades time.

I don't think Canonical cares at all about community input on things like that (just look at snap). It was just that unity really was that bad.

The gap between research and publication is real but its length is less than one year. I don't think even Google has the resources to do it secretly. Who would work on it and how could they have kept the secret so tight? AI researchers want to publish, especially the best ones, it's essential for their careers. Someone else could plant the flag on their discovery and claim the fame.
