Show HN: Mrktplace – Post and trade meaningful ideas
Hi HN! I'm Rishabh, and I've been building MRKTPLACE; a place for thinkers to post and trade meaningful ideas.

By allowing thinkers to purchase ideas in a free market, we can understand their worldview with more nuance due to the additional price signal adding weight to each of their beliefs. At the same time, this encourages thinkers to come up with better thoughts.

I tried building tooling which recommends research papers, news articles, youtube, etc. as references for each idea, hoping that this leads to higher quality content. However, the recommendation algorithm could still use some work.

Currently, we're using Goerli testnet, and also giving away free Goerli ETH to all users on signup so they can start trading right away.

I'm curious to know how people feel about trading ideas with made-up currency vs. real money. Although made-up currency is much more accessible, using real money enables some interesting use cases. Eg: humanitarian foundation posting on the platform and being directly able to get paid, a musical artist releasing content for purchase, etc.

Please let me know if you find this platform/concept interesting! Would love any feedback.

PS: Please support us on ProductHunt! I'm bootstrapping this and could use every bit of support! (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/mrktplace)

You can't really remove powershell as it can get integrated trivially.
My good, sorry to move away from the topic, but do you realise how childish you look with your comments?

I was considering not replying, but here goes nothing....

> not because I will personally pursue every clause in it.

Then you are out of the game, because all clauses should be respected, or else you are committing something very close to an illegality when you violate said clauses. If you don't want a specific clause, consult a lawyer and remove it, or use another license.

> Creative Commons itself advises against using CC licenses for source code

So before your didn't care about respecting clauses and now you do?

I could argue: there are some bits of text in CC that make it not a good license for code, but I don't care because I don't respect those clauses. I'm not going to make that argument, because it doesn't make any sense. You either use a license and respect it or you don't.
Thanks for your comment.

I really thought I was getting older to the point of only writing messages in the computer.
Please don't listen to this feedback. Just because it's upvoted here doesn't mean it's representative.

I'm a full time RVer and carry a Starlink because while the campgrounds usually have WiFi, they often are terrible and get bogged down easily. I'm usually parked in or near a large city. I've noticed lately that Starlinks are becoming more and more popular among RVers.

Also, I routinely get 100+ Mbps on Starlink, which is better than a lot of connections available across the country.
Oh how I miss force/3d touch.

A market would ruin it. This type of work is done for love, not for money.
The choices aren't "just break compatibility with all de facto standards" and "come up with your own base standard". You can work on an extension to the protocol that everyone can adopt and move to if it's really an improvement.
Tell HN: The regret of parenting and how to handle it
Did you ever think about how you'll never again be able to stay up all night and research new technologies, or have a hobby like kayaking, or .. All because of parenting?

Parenting is trending today on HN and I loved the comments. It inspired me to write about a thing I do well that I never thought about before.

Coming from someone who had these feeling from time to time, but almost never ponder on them, here is how I do it.

I noticed this is true not only in parenthood, but in everything else.

What worked for me in parenthood and marriage and sports:

1. Nip it in the bud. As soon as I start thinking about regrets I go and DO something positive now. I did have times when I pondered past (but that was in high-school and I had enough of a lesson that pondering won’t solve anything)
2. Loose hope it’ll get better (I’ve read about a POW in Vietnam war, he was like the longest captive pow in history. He said the guys who died or were in the worst condition first were the ones who hoped they’ll be out by Christmas or other important date)
3. Find joy in obstacles (the more unique obstacles you have the more unique perspective and gift you can give to your children and the world)
4. Hang out with your tribe even if it’s only virtually (whatever happens it’s nicer when you share it and you see other people have it similar)
5. Think about the future when it’s a high likelihood you will look at this moment and wish you’re back (it might help you put things into perspective)

One of these five is bound to help. If you have anything to add please do.

Also, if you like the post please check my weekly newsletter for remote-working parents in my profile. I cover a lot of relevant things there every week.

P.S. I know I'm coming in hot with the post. Raw and unedited. The only way to do it as a parent :)
Thank you! I was mistaken then.

Sounds like you are the breadwinner, have you thought about the financial feasibility of taking an afternoon off, at least until the kids are at school and a lot more independent?

One hobby I picked up when my kid was about three was crochet (men can do it just fine), so we spent afternoons at the playground, she playing with other children while I did crochet e.g. a hobby horse.
You as a human being, not you as a for profit company building a for profit product.
Thanks a lot. I was mistaken.
I'm a die-hard org-mode person for reasons I wrote about here: https://www.evalapply.org/posts/why-and-how-i-use-org-mode/i...

Essentially, pick whatever lets you:

1. build workflows _into_ it (customization)
2. build workflows _around_ it (integrate/compose with other tools)
3. take your workflows wherever you go (portable)

Whatever you pick will demand some effort to make it your own. So it is important that it be useful for many, many years. This way it will pay off over time in terms of comfort, convenience, more "flow" state etc.

I have a really, really stupid question. Have you gained weight are your fingers are simply bigger? I have huge fingers and typing on any phone involves a lot of "that is not the key I pressed!"
In my experience, creative work tends to produce ideas.

Even without the inevitable new ideas, I probably have a year or two's unrealized ideas littered around on post-it notes. Dunno if that is a measure of success as it is a measure of actually doing something interesting.
The problem with enforcement is that it is always uneven. And, when you can't get away from the person violating etiquette, it sucks real hard.
Have you tried being born to a different family?

In all seriousness I know what you mean.

A lot of entrepreneurs come from well off families because they can afford to say no, or spend time on a bunch of middling ideas until they strike it rich on a single one.

I'm finally getting to the point where I might feel comfortable going off on my own venture (I have a bit of a safety net built up, but no family to count on still if things go awry). It's nice, but at the back of my head I'm still struggling to let go of what's providing me stability. That and being American I'm about one health problem away from losing it all so...

I would love for the stability that allows others to "self actualize", so to speak.

Clippy on steroids.
Incentives are one of those things everyone knows we need, but nobody can design safely. A bit like security, we often come across systems that can be gamed due to unforeseen issues with the design.

Google "Hanoi rats" for an incentive blowup. Then there's myriad other incentive issues related to taxes and subsidies, all stuff that had the good intention of promoting good things and reducing bad things.

Sometimes its a meta-game: if a team sees a "share the spoils" scheme being trialled with another team, maybe they shouldn't fix their issues until there's a scheme in place for their team? What about the shape of the payoff? If you fix two issues in the same period, are you better off or worse off than splitting them over a boundary?

Even in sports, there's issues: there's an incentive payment to break the world record. Say you can pole vault 10cm higher than the previous record in your practices. But why break it once when you can break it 10 times? I read about this some time ago, should be findable online.
This is a discussion of vaccines, not lockdowns. The numbers are pretty damn clear.
How do you expect a market to incentivize this?
Difference is the other forks I have been using has deliberately forked an older ESR to keep features that Mozilla axed.

AFAIK Librefox re-forks from the newest FF everytime there is a release and apply their fixes as patches.
A friend lives in a city with a lot of startups, a lot of technology companies and a research university that's been on the internet since before the DNS. He's on the waiting list for Starlink because the fastest residential connection he can get is 3Mbps.

There's much fiber there, but also many streets where no fiber is available. AFAICT that kind of spottiness is the most common case and few cities have uniformly good coverage. I do hope 3Mbps is rare though.
Show HN: Koord – a novel, multi-cloud solution for low-latency music-playing
Math might be universal but I think you're really underestimating the potential for wildly differing perspectives on it.
It revealed the existence of staircase-like structures with infinitely many steps. The size of each step in these “infinite staircases” was a ratio of Fibonacci numbers.

As the staircase ascended, the steps became smaller and smaller, the top of the staircase crushing up against the golden ratio. Neither the golden ratio nor the Fibonacci numbers has any apparent relationship to the problem of fitting a shape inside a ball. It was bizarre to find these numbers lurking within McDuff and Schlenk’s work.

Is it me, or is that terrible scientific writing? I don't understand what the author is actually trying to describe, and I kinda have my doubts whether the authors knows herself.
And to say goodbye to hours of time. :P
Tangential, but does anyone know if there are archives of mp3.com or acidplanet? There are a few songs from there that I want to track down.
While this isn't as invasive as it appears on the surface (its voluntarily opt in through a relatively niche feature), it's going to backfire.

Things like this have been around for a while - for example, in mmos as far as 20 years ago, you could order a pizza through the chat commandline!

However, businesses are extraordinarily sensitive to value at their expense. They don't say what tiers it's on, but I can't imagine any enterprise will see this in a positive light - at least, without a lot of angry licensing negotiation.
Yes, I find it harder to read code at lengths much longer than this. 120 is quite difficult. It also makes it even harder to read if you split the screen vertically, which I do all the time.

That said, I don’t think it should be a hard limit and it’s fine if a lines a bit over, +/- 10 like you said. Certainly not something that we should contort into multiple lines just to keep under a hard limit. Unfortunately, a few auto formatters only do hard limits - it’d be interesting to see how an acceptable interval around the limit would work.

Plus, I’ve noticed the limit makes more of a difference for comments than code so I try to keep comments under that. The written word appears more sensitive to line length.
Most solutions oriented around real-time, minimal-latency audio collaboration (ie jamming and rehearsing online) use a P2P architecture, which can work well in smaller sessions but quickly runs into scaling issues, given available bandwidth.
(Note: none of the mainstream web conferencing apps prioritize audio latency minimization enough to work as effective real-time tools for musicians.)

Koord decided to create a heavily distributed, multi-cloud on-demand network of latency-optimized compute resources, and leverage the best in open-source (forked Jamulus for audio, forked Jitsi for video) to deliver a client-server solution - specific to the user’s region.

This allows practically-unlimited scaling of concurrent users in a session - we have had an orchestra of 75 playing online in one of our sessions with acceptable latency.

In order to create a free private session and try for yourself, there’s a quick sign-up involved (sorry there’s no anonymous test, the free sign-up is kind of a requirement due to the cloud resource overhead involved).

Our open-source beta app is available on all platforms, Github page here: https://github.com/koord-live/koord-app

We believe that if a user and their band-mates are within the “latency radius”* from one of the supported global metro regions (45 and counting), our service gives the best chance of conducting a successful musical session online of any appreciable size.

Personal note: Koord was born as a service in the pandemic to allow musicians to collaborate remotely in real-time. My co-founder and I are both spare-time musicians (well at least until we started work on Koord, then spare time vanished :/) and we heard first-hand the pain of musical professionals trying to connect and play remotely. We thought we could make something of use to musicians everywhere and have been building the service ever since.

* Speed of light going at 300km/ms means that in an utopian internet you could be within a 3000km radius of the supported metro region to keep session latency at a nice base of 10ms. Factor in internet inefficiency at various stages, and that takes the radius down to ~1500km. Given very optimal user net connections - but we’ve recorded 5ms ping times to our session infrastructure from 5G-connected devices :)
Not really. It's just a bunch of basic demand/supply algorithms. Nothing special. I doubt Uber can make a generic version that other businesses will buy.

Ok then.

How do you handle the expectations of customization to specific site/industry workflows?

Can I set up a gantt chart in your system?

Are delays modelled as standalone concepts or tied to trips/tasks, or both?

How big can you scale before your system chokes up?

Is there a distributed display option in vehicles so drivers can see/interact/manually report on progress or are the comms one way (cab to control room?)?

Can you partition the fleet so multiple planners can plan out different sections of fleet in parallel?

Can you nest tasks so they have subtasks, so you can vertically composite work into workflows organically?

Do you tackle automation at all? How much?

Is automatic generation of schedules based on some inputs something you're interested in? Logistics is a function of a need to move cargo, so stock level monitoring integration should ideally drive such a system.

What is your reporting solution? PowerBI? In-house? Other third party?
very cool to hear of Dendrite being used in the wild like this; it's still beta so we definitely don't make guarantees about it being bug-free yet. that said, would be interested to hear what weird bugs you hit (in #dendrite:matrix.org perhaps) so we can get more real-life datapoints on how it's behaving. Also, very glad to hear that Element is feeling snappy.
Same experience here.

I actually thought this was a me problem and not an iPhone problem. I figured I was just getting lazy and had become too reliant on autocorrect to clean up my mistakes over the years.

I do notice that I tend to type much faster than I did 5-10 years ago. If I deliberately slow myself down like 30% I'm able to type almost flawlessly. Does this resonate with anyone else?

You might not know that you can forward-delete letters with Shift+Backspace, instead of backspace. The Samsung and BlackBerry keyboards both support this.

Personally, I still use the BlackBerry keyboard on my Samsung phone because it has features that no other keyboard has. Namely:

- Word predictions are on the keys themselves, and you select them by "throwing" them onto the page (see [screenshot 1]). This means there can be 6+ predictions on screen at any time, and since they're literally on the key you're about to press anyway it is so quick to just select the prediction instead of typing it out fully. On other keyboards the predictions are above the keyboard and using them means taking your eyes away from what you're typing.

- Autocorrections are shown on the space key before you actually hit it, and if you don't want the autocorrection you can swipe up on the space key to select what you actually typed (see [screenshot 2]).

- You can backspace a word with a left swipe across the keyboard. This is HUGE. When backspacing is this easy, when you make a mistake it's almost always faster to delete the entire word and retype it again from the beginning than it is to move the cursor. You can also backspace multiple words at a time by swiping with multiple fingers (great for editing URLs).

- Swiping down across the keyboard cycles through the various symbol layers (you can create a custom layer), and selecting a symbol automatically moves back to the letter layer (you can sticky the symbol layer by opening it normally with the ?123 key).

- The ?123 also acts as a Control key, so you can use common keyboard shortcuts like cut, copy, paste, undo, and select all.

On non-BlackBerry Android phones the BB keyboard was never officially available, but someone made a cracked version that still works great even though it hasn't been updated in years. But you have to dig around to find the APKs ever since the website got taken down.

This is unnecessary dark. You will definitely be able to do those things when your kids grow up and leave your house. You will also most likely be able to do them much sooner - teenagers don't need constant help or supervision, and even earlier you can easily arange something with your spouse so that one of you can take a couple days off. 7-8 years old is probably a good treshold. Also, you will be able to engage your kid in a lot of your hobbies. Once you show them why you like them, chances are they'll like them too.
In a book, line breaks don't necessarily have any meaning. In poetry they might, but in a book they probably don't. In programming, line breaks OFTEN have a meaning.

Breaking up a sentence over multiple lines can TOTALLY change how it's interpreted by the computer.

Using methods to circumvent this which allow you to have a computer interpret two lines as if it's a single line can confuse and change how it's interpreted by the programmer, at least momentarily.

Refactoring your code to ensure it never exceeds 80 characters can ALSO make code harder to read, especially in modern languages that tend to be more verbose than what was seen in the TTY days.

Expanding the limit to even 120 characters and aiming the average line to be significantly shorter allows you to have a more consistent readable style across languages where you aren't doing nearly as much weird crap to force source code to fit an arbitrary character limit. You STILL have to do quite a bit of rewriting to force code to fit 120 characters, but this may be worth the readability tradeoff.
Plenty of older cities don't have fiber all over. I'm in Western Europe and they're gradually installing fiber across the country, new developments get fiber by default.

So at home I'm on 50 Mbps VDSL. My company's office has fiber but it has a Starlink for fallback.
Any script kiddie can DOS a residential connection for however long they like. It's a common "attack" people do in games that leak IP's.

The culture of internet celebrities is growing significantly with twitch/YouTube streaming. People are dangerous, and will harass and stalk.

Swatting is also still very real, it's a common occurrence for major content creators.

Yes you should do more, a good VPN is essential if you interact with other people online.
I've been Yak shaving `shite`, my little hotreoadin' static site maker from shell :D

https://github.com/adityaathalye/shite

The README explains all, with words and animated GIFs, but to summarise:

`shite` is a low-performance way to turn heredocs, org-mode text (or md or html), and inotify events into my website (https://evalapply.org). It is about 350 LoC of FP-style Bash. The hotreload does not use javascript. shite is terrible and I love it :)

Rendering heartfelt follicle trimmage to that glorious animal has been an unmitigated delight (except for templating, with sucks universally).

I highly recommend adopting a pet Yak :)
