Hi HN! Igor here, co-founder of Lemon (as well as Digger and OpsFlow and Terragen and a bunch of other tools for solving related problems)

We Keep iterating - and Lemon 2.0 is one that makes us most proud of our creations to date. We launched the original Lemon 13 months ago. Since then we rebuilt the UI from scratch, added a bunch of cool features and most importantly - killed a bunch of "meh" features.

Its now centered around your apps. No more confusion with environments and services. Simply apps.

Lemon no longer requires your project to have a Dockerfile. We use one if you have it, but if not we try to detect the type of your project automatically and generate an image on the fly. Si you can deploy drontends, backends, whatever. We also support monorepos.

Finally we added custom Terraform editing in the UI. So you can simply drop whatever TF you have and Lemon will run it.

Would love to hear your feedback!
I've looked into this a couple of years ago and the problem was that you just couldn't assume people would be able to scan a qr code without downloading an extra app.

iPhones could scan them with the default camera app, but on Android it really depended on the manufacturer.

So you couldn't just say: "point your camera app at the code and open the url that appears.", which made using QR codes pretty much useless unless you had an app where you could build in an scanner for these codes.
Not arguing that 95% of companies don't. Just saying there are many outside the base FAANG camp that do... it's a much bigger ecosystem than one might expect at first blush. If you hang out on blind or get contacted by these companies over time it becomes evident.

> so in that case you would need to avoid touching anything that is based in the US

This does not change much: a, say, French company is bound to follow US regulations anywhere (including in France, not to mention abroad) because the US would punish any interests of this company in the US.

This was the case with Iran, and with others.

If you are mid-to-small compared to the US/China, you are bullied.

If you are very small (like a blog or local newspaper) you may not give a fuck.
Unless your whole friend group/community also cares about that, you'll have a hard time steering them towards alternatives. Even in cases where the product itself is better, privacy and control aside.
Indeed. I guess I'm paralyzed and cannot move on somehow.
Discord Trust and Safety in particular is downright useless. I feel I should share my story. It's a personal hell I've been stuck in for a while.

I'm disabled from severe depression resistant to first line treatments, bedridden a lot of the time, and I rely on the platform for most of my social interaction and resources for my hobbies, as far as I can pursue them of course. Discord is invaluable and is basically a monopoly in my cultural bubble.

On Jan 13, they disabled a 7 year old early supporter account with an active Nitro subscription with the reason "Your account posted content that sexualized individuals under the age of 18, or was involved in servers dedicated to such unacceptable content". I've never done this. I learned a lot of people were getting disabled for being in a server that they haven't touched in years and it went rogue or was raided and that stuff was posted there, so I figured I was a victim of a carpet bombing and it was a one-off.

But they continued to disable every new account (12 so far, I lost count). Most of the accounts were disabled in the last two weeks. They left me alone for 6 months until Sep 1 when my 4th account was disabled without the usual explanation email. I made an appeal and not only was it ignored, it was marked solved within 4 hours.

In fact they have not communicated with me at all. They have ignored all of my tickets, have not sent emails for each account that was disabled after the first. Except one time I got an email but the reason was left blank.

A few days ago I made three accounts to try to test ways to get them off my back. One was made on a virtual machine on a VPS located a thousand miles away from me and had no connection to me. Although I did give vague hints to friends that it was me. They banned all three accounts, even the VM one. I had a nervous breakdown knowing I may never be able to participate on the platform again. I also felt like I was being watched.

In the last two weeks it was always the same Discord staff assigning themselves to my appeals, "Violet". This includes the one that was marked solved without communication. And they're supposedly experiencing increased ticket volumes.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. Only thing I can hope for is Discord to basically die and everyone moves elsewhere, or they leave me alone.
For the English speakers, there is Bringing up Bebe.

My wife and I are expecting our first in November and are currently reading - and loving - this book. It’s a great reframe.
I understand why you might think my finger is the cause but there are other pictures from that day and that series that lack the finger and still have the blue cast.
Well previously the (social) architecture was hub and spoke (we all read the same newspapers to get the new updateable fact) or each individual neutron had contact only with its neighbours.

Social media seems to be hub and spoke but going viral seems to be like a mass broadcast mechanism.

My hope for democracy is that truth will be more likely to go viral than lies.

I have issues with that last sentence

> There is nothing wrong (and a hell of a lot good) with not wanting to be a person that doesn't chase up invoices and worry about payroll, it lets you focus on doing a good job.

It has everything to do with this. Not wanting to be that person is fine. But then don't complain about people willing to take a lot more shit earning more than you. Generally, the stuff less people want to do (but is valuable to society), is better paid.

> like Bezos who have made 7.5 Billion a year since Amazon was founded, or 278,406 times the average wage from 1994

The guy created 400,000 jobs during the covid crisis, when most other businesses were either shut or going bankrupt. That's 1% of the US population. Going by your $7.5bn a year, that's $18 per new employee that year. You think he doesn't deserve that?
I have a question if I may.

What mechanism is deciding who pays inactivity leaks?

It says that if a minority stop attesting then they will leak until eventually the attestors get to a supermajority.
That makes sense.

It also says that, if a dishonest minority start a soft fork, the fact that they stop attesting on the honest fork means that they eventually leak out until the honest fork gets a supermajority.

That implies that, unless some mechanism has decided which is the honest fork, then all attestors will leak assuming that they aren't trying to attest to both blocks (which is illegal). But if all attestors are leaking then that supermajority won't occur will it?

So something must be deciding which is honest. But it can't be using number of attestors/deniers because of USAF ie where the honest fork is the less attested one.

So how does that work? How is honesty determined given that both forks are legal wrt rules and failed attestation is penalised but cannot be shown to be malicious (according to the doc).

Also, as an aside, how are leaks actually transacted? They can't be using the main transaction or none of the above would work. Is there some sort of shadow transaction system for staked ETH? If so, what mechanism decides the validity of the leak transactions?

Very interesting mechanism. Clearly a lot of thought has been put into it.
In my experience most dsls are not of the quality of Typed Racket or Scribble. And many of the good languages designed in Racket could be just as well designed if they targeted LLVM. And for 99% of the programmers I've hired they'd be better spending their time further understanding the existing abstractions and research in the many great languages that already exist rather than halfbaking their own because it's so easy and tempting.

As I said, I like Racket. And I agree with you it's a nice environment for playing with new language ideas. But most of those ideas are bad and are just incidental complexity. And the 1 of 100 languages that are great ideas and needed by the world are better off spun out with their own parser and toolchain without being so tied to Dr Racket and Chez Scheme.
Does this mean GPU prices will go down? At least according to this article the validator nodes can be run on a Raspberry Pi [1]

Yeah I've seen it happen that people on my side of an issue will choose to dunk to look cool, instead of doing something that might convince other people of our beliefs.

I've also seen some subreddits will try to out-radical themselves. The /r/vegan subreddit, last I checked, was leaning leftist / communist. I'm not a communist, so I quit going there. I already know how to be vegan. The big chain grocery stores around me already carry vegan products I like.

People don't really go on the Internet looking to be convinced, and search engines won't necessarily bring you to convincing pages.

A lot of people have been convinced by the big creators like Contrapoints or Philosophy Tube. (Or, sadly, Jordan Peterson.) For me the healthy option is probably to give up talking to people on Reddit or Hacker News about anything important at all. How about a nice game of chess?

A pillow placed over an infants face produces the same injuries as running it over with a lorry? Either that is one soft lorry or you mistook the tyre for a pillow.
If all the large entities band together and frame the issue as something negative that needs to be prevented/reverted, then nobody will care enough to attempt punishment. We've seen this when ETH and ETC split after Vitalik used ETH in the premine to vote for a split, then framed it as "the majority wants to split".
it is not grim but getting a family-home with a dev salary is out of the picture for many western europeans. it wasn't the case one generation ago. american dev can definitly afford a house even in HCOL cities. for a similar job at AWS or Google you getting 550k+ in NYC vs 200k in London or Paris. just looking at real estate (which is number 1 cost) it is worth moving to NYC.

just to give you an idea:

why every time we say life became harder/more expensive we get comments saying its not that grim? this is how it starts. first steps are to reduce government benefits (retirement age further, unemployement benefits shorter,...-
I wish I had your enthusiasm. I've been unemployed 90% of the time since Covid.

Ironically, I've given at least 5 people their start in this industry who are all now worth 8 figures. There are haves and there are have nots.
>we need new antitrust laws that are a bit more proactive

Bingo! Adobe has a de facto monopoly on vector and bitmap editing software tools, and it would make total sense for this acquisition to be stopped by the government on that basis. "The government" in this case would be the DoJ's antitrust division headed by Jonathan Kanter [1]. Looks like the process is to send a letter requesting a "Business Review" [2]. It's probably a "fill out this simple 30 page form, wait 2.5 years (max!) and then have your review request politely declined" situation, but I suppose it's foolish to complain before trying.

Yeah, there's still nothing as good as fireworks at what it did. Figma is better in some ways with autolayout, etc. But fireworks also had excellent bitmap editing support.
Floki Inu (FLOKI) is a dog-themed meme coin, also called "a movement" since it progresses towards the vision of establishment of schools globally even in underdeveloped countries by partnering with Million Gardens Movement. It aims to become the world's most known and most used cryptocurrency.

As per Floki Inu, FLOKI is the cryptocurrency of the people. This cryptocurrency was created in June 2021 by Shiba Inu (SHIB) fans and members.

CoinMarketCap estimates FLOKI’s circulating supply is 9317.94 B FLOKI while its maximum supply is 2 Trillion. Floki Inu (FLOKI) is traded on a number of cryptocurrency exchanges, such as Deepcoin, BingX, Bybit, MEXC and CoinTiger.

Floki Inu (FLOKI) Price Prediction 2022

Touching the lowest of the month at $0.0000086869, Floki Inu (FLOKI) price swung from $0.0000063404 to $0.0000178190 within the last week. FLOKI reversed from support level and is presently sideways in the market and is expected to be bullish in the coming weeks.

The long-term price prediction for FLOKI for 2022 is bullish since it is unlikely to break the current support level anytime soon. We can expect FLOKI to reach $0.0000207362 in 2022.
At the very least it makes something that is the world's problem -- massive energy waste due to PoW -- into an economic problem that is self-contained to the Ethereum block chain.

Cups 3.0 Continues Being Crafted to Overhaul Linux Printing
How could entering a 4 digit PIN be slower than "printing a piece of receipt, handing over a pen and waiting for the customer to sign"?
Hi! I didn't develop for mobile yet, but it seems to me like it will take considerable time since we're not leveraging QML's power, and there seem to be a lot of differences between mobile and desktop. But maybe some mobile/QML developers can show me otherwise.
>My experience has been that the value people see in crypto is directly inversely proportional to how much they believe in their government

That's an interesting thesis and 'feels' true, but I have a hard time reconciling HN's (seeming) indie ethos with it's cryptoskepticism if that's the overriding factor. Have you any theories to explain the seeming disconnect?
Figma has a free tier, which doesn't exist under CC. On the other hand, Figma costs at least $12/$45/$75 per editor per month depending on the level, and they don't charge users without editing rights.

Those prices are not far off CC plans, $20 for Photoshop, $55 for the full suite of apps. If they keep offering the free tier, I am sure they can include a standalone plan for Figma around $20, and add it to the Suite without increasing the price, and they won't lose customers except from Adobe hate, which I totally stand behind because I prefer having a competitive market.

"Your aversion to learning new things every 2 years sounds like a limiter. Even 2 years is too slow for this industry and probably why you feel capped.
"

You failed to read my comment. I said I did it quite consistently.

You cannot become an expert in a new skillset every month.
it is europe. things go slow but once they are in motion... they first used those countries for lowering blue collar jobs (construction for instance) then white collar, the cloud/saas craze was an accelerator. the covid is one too.
I don't get it.

We keep seeing these dystopian stories again and again and again. Does anybody really believe it will ever stop? Or will we all live in fear of losing a lot of work and valuable connections by being banned from one of our social accounts?

I already lost one Instagram account that I put a lot of work into. One day, Insta suddenly asked for my birthday. After me putting it in, all I saw is "Sorry, this page isn't available." and thats it. Whenever I try to log in, all I get is "Sorry, this page isn't available.". Some kind of ban or bug. I dunno. I never managed to get it back. Feels very 1984.

But when say "Ok, let's build social tools where the user owns their social graph via cryptographic proof" then there is nothing but (blind?) hate.

Sometimes there are real discussions. Then the main argument is always "But what if you lose your private key?"

Well, we could build something like Discord (FB, Twitter, Insta, HN, you name it) where losing our private key throws us back to the current system. So if the platform owner (say a DAO) "decides" to deplatform you (say via a DAO vote) you can use your private key to prohibit it.

This way, you can only become deplatformed if the platform decides to deplatform you AND you lose your private key.

If you only lose your private key, then you can ask the platform to please transfer your account to a new private key. Then the usual authentification mechanisms (email, phone, id etc) kick in.

I could sleep way better if I knew that two have to mess up for me to lose my digital life. Me and the platform.
Probably because anti-trust enforcement only seems to get involved when two already huge companies are involved.
> By bringing powerful capabilities from Adobe’s imaging, photography, illustration, video, 3D and font technologies into the Figma platform, we can benefit all customers involved in the product design process, from designers to product managers to developers. Figma’s community will ultimately have a continuous user experience across ideation, screen layout, interaction design and content editing, allowing product designers and their stakeholders to operate at a whole new level.

Adobe's clueless middle managers are already adding "push my useless pet feature to keep my chair busy" into their OKRs.

Basically, they are an orc army to be unleashed to destroy one of Adobe's few viable competitors. Like mafia thugs with a baseball bat.

> Curious... Soviet union were completely right when criticizing US for lynching black people...

...except they weren't criticizing. Much like in this case, their intention was to divert the attention on their cruel and inhumane practices by picking any distraction they could find out, with the goal of perpetuating their abuse without being subjected to criticism.

It's the same reason why nowadays you have Putin's regime posting bullshit about how the people of the UK and Germany are somehow suffering from hardship to deflect the attention from the impact that international sanctions is having in it's economy. The target and substance of their attacks is immaterial, and their goal is to divert attention.
It does but it does not! java.util.Random is not a CSPRNG at all and is terrible, so even tho the nextInt() method is using rejection sampling, it's still producing biased values and also completely fails to be "unpredictable" because java.util.Random is weak and predictable.

It does not matter. If there is business presence ini the US of a company (direct or indirect), this business will be used to punish unwanted operations outside the US.

If you have a US-Okta and a non-US Okta and both ultimately are "Okta", then if the non-US Okta does not follow US regulations, the US-Okta will take the whip.

It is. Unfortunately our laws against anti-competitive behaviours are very weak.
Possibly until they grow to a point where they have divisions in UK or EU, which I think is how Facebook/Google/Microsoft are set up but I could be wrong.

There's some choices in the market, and beyond the behemoths it is still possible to avoid the US. The challenge is finding one that isn't owned by a US company and will end up with the same restrictions (like Gigya is now owned by SAP) - but any company serious about security will do the due diligence and know who own who.

Me as well, I refuse to give Adobe any money if I can use Affinity's products.
Yeah, kind of wonder what would have happened had Adobe instead pulled a pair of engineers aside and said, "Hey, we want you two to create a Figma rival. You'll have no directives from up above, have all the freedom to write the app how you want. You can work where you want, when you want ... if you need more specific expertise on the team you can take who you like. The first version you roll out doesn't have to have Figma parity, just has to be something you're proud of. We'll put it out as beta ... it can stay beta for as long as you feel it needs to be. We're hoping you can get us to have a Figma-like presence, maybe Figma-parity within three years or so?"

I suspect Adobe are too behemoth these days. A scrappy start-up/skunk-works within Adobe might have been able to pull off some nice code and for a lot less than $20B.
This is an online collaboration / network effect acquisition. Not a tech acquisition.

(This is like Microsoft acquiring Github due to GitHub network effect)

While I too loved Fireworks and Dreamweaver, neither one had the network effect that Figma does (granted, SaaS software in the late 90s / early 00s was rare).

Even if Fireworks were to have flourished while at Adobe, it's not entirely clear they would have successful made both the pivot to web AND also gained the network effect that Figma has created.
