Ah, your approach makes a lot of sense. Me, I've put together a number of Twitter lists over the years, to serve as faux-newsfeeds.
Well, it doesn't work very well and right now it leads more often to aggravation than discovery.
So, here come 2023 and RSS. Thanks for the hints!
what a great user experience! Said no one ever.
Awesome, thx!
As an iOS developer of 10+ years, it depresses me seeing people happily push out junk like this with a $20 price tag. I'm a bit surprised Apple let it on the store at all, to be honest.

It follows a pattern which Apple actively tries to discourage in its iOS apps, but hasn't quite gotten there for its watchOS ones. The pattern being:

1. Find some useful information online

2. Quickly package it into a basic tableview style app

3. Release for free

4. Use IAP to hide the 'useful' part of your app behind an outrageous price-tag

Seriously, $20 is an absolutely ludicrous price for what should really be a piece of paper. I'm hoping this is Bill's last foray into iOS dev, or at least he does some serious soul searching.

"It currently costs $19.99 for a lifetime purchase, but I’m moving to a subscription, so buy now!"

Jesus wept.
But how do I get that all caps scifi font to my reader? It's just not the same...
Take a break, also you are on the front page of HN with this post, maybe add some links to your three failed products and you can get some traction, or at worst some advice.
It's a bit more nuanced than that. The standard of living for the bottom half globally has substantially improved over the past 100 years. The standard of living for the bottom half of the developed world has arguably declined in the past few decades. In the last 5 years or so, due to inflation and Covid, more people have fallen into extreme poverty.
It's worth noting that the narrator - Michael Kramer - is exceptional. One of the characters in this particular series is known for his ability with accents, so listening to the audiobook with a good narrator is an extra amount of fun.

I've read most of Sanderson's books in print, but for this one I also bought the audiobook specifically for that kind of narration.
Segmentation. You can send offer to a segment of your audience. I don't think you can do that with RSS unless you have a sophisticated setup where each reader has a slightly different feed url.
Cgpt is great at writing like a good copywriter, which is already above average human. When journalists lose their advantage, it becomes a matter of putting out there novel ideas, which models can do, too. The 'journalism' of the future will be basically curation of ideas.

And if we have an overabundance of good content then attention will shift away from it because it gets boring.
Are you me? I am learning C lately, been a few weeks. I am an SWE with 7 years of experience in JS/TS world.

Currently I am trying to learn how to test C correctly, seems there are lots of approaches.

It began when I decided to learn low level development a few months ago. I completed my Chip 8 emulator. Next I bought Arduino a month ago and I was playing around with it. Now I am reading AVR Programming book so I decided to learn C properly. On the side I already made a small keyboard with a microcontroller with QMK firmware. Soldering and stuffs.

Next what I’m trying to learn is some electronics knowledge just enough to make stuffs.

This is way more fun than my web development job!

Currently the resources I use:
- Learn C The Hard Way
- BeeJ’s guide to C
- random video tutorials from the internet
- Make: Arduino
- Make: AVR programming
> My drinking was never outwardly a major issue, in fact, in Australia, it probably wasn’t even noticeable to anyone else around me and would’ve been considered pretty standard early twenties behaviour.

It seems rare for people to claim that their homeland doesn't have a heavy drinking culture. Reading through these comments, you see it claimed of the United States, New Zealand, Ukraine, South Korea.

In general, I can only remember hearing of Italy having "healthy" drinking culture. What are the others? I also wonder the extent to which the British empire spread the drinking culture of the British isles to much of the rest of the world (e.g., USA, Australia, New Zealand etc).
Funny, just 2 days ago I ordered two RGB LED strips and a power supply to play around with during the holidays. I will definitely check this out, seems to save me some programming :-)
The latest example of this I've seen is that after the latest cable box update - full screen ads will show for shows when it turns on and my mom doesn't know how to close them and I have to come help. She only knows how to change the channels, not interact with GUIs. She's never used a mouse before or used "arrow" keys to move an interface. She only knows "this button does this".

Another example is that our last TV had a "Source" Button. But it doesn't change the source, it brings up a list so you can choose a source. Nearly every week she would accidentally hit Channel Up or Down on the TV remote and then not know how to switch it back to the Cable Box. She'd hit Source and it wouldn't change the source and then call me.

Sadly, she has dementia now and will never learn.
Im confused by it. I cannot listen to audiobooks without either fully focusing on it or forgetting half of it when Im listening to it while doing something else.

Even with podcasts I have the same issue, but there I dont really need to listen to every second and fully remember all of it.

How do you guys listen to audiobooks? Are you just so much better than me in focusing on multiple things at the same time or are you just listening to audiobooks and not doing anything at the same time?

Vw isn’t just cars. They’re are invested in things like Siemens’ energy to be the worlds biggest producer of synthetic fuel. Vw is the big boy and toyota is the big boy in asia. Tesla is valued the same as all the other car manufacturers put together.

If you want to make some money in the next year or so, open a short position on Tesla. Not financial advise, just 2 cents from a guy that worked in the motor industry for 15 years
Facebook shoves content I don't care about in my face, and frequently hides content from pages and people that I do care about (who don'y pay Zuck's troll toll or play visibility optimization games like emphasizing useless Story content).

My RSS reader (FreshRSS, self-hosted, and NetNewsWire on macOS/iOS) shows me all posts from all feeds I've chosen to subscribe to. Nothing more, nothing less. No ads, no murky VC cloud funding -- I self host on my own raspberry pi -- and no privacy concerns.

Social media is kind of like a flaky RSS feed with comments from people I don't know or care about that sometimes doesn't show me content I DO want to see but also constantly shows me ads, tries to manipulate me into spending more time browsing, and hoovers up as much data as humanly possible. Oh, and it changes the UI every 6-8 months in seemingly random UX a/b tests in the name of "optimization." And it radicalizes my older relatives politically.

That seems like a pretty shitty RSS feed to me.
I guess. I have very mixed feelings about HN moderation, but not dang.

I think dang does an awesome job. I feel like he does such a good job, that I hope he has a really good support network, and a great therapist, too! That's not an insult. Just that I can't imagine how hard it must be for him.

However, HN guidelines are so ridiculous they feel like laws (especially in the US): you're probably breaking one of them with almost all of your comments. For example, here is one of the guidelines:

> Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put asterisks around it and it will get italicized.

What? Hahaha. The level of policing here (and how much it is up to interpretation) makes them impossible to follow!

Again, dang is awesome. I wish him the best. I don't think anyone else could do that job.

That's the way we see it too, as medical errors are one of the leading causes of death in the US alone (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28186008/).

We see this as a huge problem that still needs addressing, and improving data-sharing standards and access is one way to go about it: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/health-data-canada-sharing-in...
It's possible to push from x86_64 to aarch by setting this in the system configuration:

boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" ];

With that setting pushing from e.g. laptop to raspberry works. Nix on macOS does not have that setting, but perhaps there's an equivalent.
Indeed, spot on. And given the internet is the computer this is (as good as any) a representation of the fatal bifurcation that has essentially destroyed the potential of digitization for at least a generation (and maybe forever)

I am not trying to denigrate XMPP in any way, I also use it, though I am not very familiar with the internals. Here, the decentralized aspect doesn't seem to bring a lot of added value (what would you federate? Push senders and push servers? The relationship is mostly 1:1 in every case).

Then, I'm sorry, but even if the design was miles ahead of what is being proposed here, it might as well not have existed.

> If there is a fight worth fighting, it is the one to force phone OS developers to open this part of an OS to allow using custom push notifications services.

Well, we're proposing an API for it, and we will certainly push alternative OSes such as LineageOS, /e/ and others to adopt it; we hope it gets picked up by bigger fish, but we can't exactly pressure them into doing it, besides demonstrating that it works, documenting it and raising awareness, which is what we're doing here.
I grew up in a lower-middle class household and although my grandfather had money during his life, it wasn't passed down (swallowed by medical bills the last decades of his life). My parents were definitely working class. I'm doing okay, but that came from a lot of self-study and self-driven interests... I put my first computer together from parts scrownged up over the course of about a year... at a time where it was far more expensive to do than today (early-mid 90's), where today you can definitely find something usable for free.

Today it will largely come down to the investment of time... that doesn't mean you will succeed... I spent my time on knowledge growth, others will spend it on building a business. Most will simply waste it and complain that they spend too much time working.

I saw a lot of this when I was single in the last decade. So many people want a relationship, too few would actually take the time to make it happen. Most won't even take the time/effort to go out on a date on a work night.

No, it's not easy. There are no guarantees... but it's mostly laziness that stops people from getting things done in life.

Note that you can use third-party services to create feeds for Twitter users. (example https://nitter.net/) This can provide a good way to get some content into your reader, then you can add/remove feeds based on how you are enjoying them.
The first thing we did when we entered mobile in 2004 was build an RSS reader for 'dumb' phones. It was the perfect way to bring information to very limited phones. All the extra stuff was stripped away, just the content remained. The phone could handle it in a way that the WAP browsers would fail.

It is hard to see the value, beyond advertising / affiliate sales, to just about anything that has been added to the modern web experience since that time. I still use 'reader mode' on Safari to bring it back to the basics.

You had a rare person there with that CTO. Most people avoid conflict at all costs, so as soon as the conversation becomes heated for whatever reason, they shut it down.

My current CTO is like that, and it's an awful working environment.
On jeopardy you phrase your answer in the form of a question. It adds a minor layer of complexity, similar to what you call a shit sandwich. It’s the longest running game show on tv, maybe one of the longest running show of any type other than the news. Sometimes people forget to phrase their answers in the form of a question. Alex would say, “oh, I’m sorry but you have to phrase your answer as a question.” Dan reminds me of Alex Tribeck in that way. The winners on hn, those with the most karma, never seem to make that mistake. It’s a fairly low barrier, but for some of us quite a challenge.
Just tell them what you want. You don't owe them anything. Don't be needy, perhaps you want this job, but you don't need this job.

"I really like this opportunity, the team and opportunity are great. I know I can have a lot of impact. For it to make sense for me financially, I need 5% equity in your company, which is the market rate for an early stage CTO."

And then walk away if they say no. "Sorry, that's just not going to work for me."

>You empower people by making sure their basic needs are taken care of so they have the freedom to fully pursue these projects.

This is interesting because you look at the situation from a different point of view. I was wondering how somebody can influence others to create change and you focus on how to remove influence to create change.

I believe that you can never supply enough resources for people to feel free to implement change. What are the basic needs that have to be met? I would like to say that they are already met. Every software developer can reduce their working hours to a minimum and have ample time to pursue whatever they want.

People are already empowered but they lack motivation. Compared to the global south, the north has plenty of resources. But most citizens don't invest them. Instead they spend them on vacations, clothing, cars and houses because they want to match their peers.

With that perspective, what could incentivize people whose basic needs are met, to spend their time on innovations?

Maybe yes, but on the other hand I've never been paid for anything that used OS calls directly.

The only times I've used such APIs was creating simple keylogger for tests and very simple cheat for a video game (tested on non-official servers).

C# nowadays seems mostly like web backend development, tools, game scripting or automation, at least that's my perception.

Anyway even if WinAPI, then why not Rust?
He probably has access to the several hundred million dollars worth of crypto stolen from FTX wallets around the time of the collapse, but he also probably doesn’t want to show that he does.
I completely agree. I used to have a Wordpress blog with comments enabled, and that brought me a few headaches at some point.

Later on, I moved to Pelican, which is a static generator, and below every article there's an info box that indicates that no, there's no commenting system, and lists a couple of ways someone can reach me if they wish to discuss that particular article. So far, it's working.

“all the other parts are working correctly”, is IMHO the issue here, because LastPass doesn’t consider the URL to be sensitive material.

What I think that means is in this breach the bad actor has your account information like emails and IP addresses used to access the vault, but can WITHOUT any brute force also determine every site the vault has an entry to access.

The consequences of that could be severe for some. Did you tell your wife about that account on Hinge or Grindr? Perhaps you live somewhere where being out isn’t an option and could get you killed? Do you have an account on some site or other which primarily exists to leak to journalists?
If you read any topic on password managers on HN, there is very little technical discussion, its emotional and grandstanding. A majority of the comments tell people why their password manager sucks and your scheme is the best. It's any tech religious war basically, with more sides. But yes, that's the point: the devs start with the presumption that the blob will eventually be stolen and how to protect that. That's the initial value proposition. (Storing URLs in plaintext was dumb, but any browser extension knows every URL you visit, same with your ISP, so there's that.)
I did anticipate this... BUT and this is a big BUT... I didn't expect ANY of my stuff to be unencrypted! They keep saying that THEY CAN NOT read ANYTHING in my vault. Now the update says some of my stuff wasn't encrypted. This is way beyond acceptable. I know URLs aren't the worst thing in the world to expose. But the fact that ANY part of my vault is open is wrong.

> The US has to get a court order which bytedance can challenge in a court room.

As we've seen, the US is perfectly capable of building up a massive surveillance operation, and of tying the tech companies into that operation, without the involvement of any real court (i.e., something other than a secret rubber-stamp like the FISA court), and indeed without the public even knowing that such a system exists.

The US also exerts other forms of extra-legal pressure on companies. It can and does threaten tech companies to play ball, or else. When WikiLeaks published documents that embarrassed the US government, the US government froze all of their financial accounts, simply by telling the companies involved (e.g., PayPal) to do so. American tech executives know that they can face regulatory action if they say "no" to requests, so they have a very strong incentive to comply with demands to provide data, censor content, and help US government influence operations (see the recent revelations that Twitter worked with the US government on covert influence campaigns using inauthentic accounts).

> There is no way bytedance can structure its operations to prevent the CCP requesting data.

The Chinese government can request whatever it likes, but ByteDance can structure its operations to make those requests impossible or difficult to fulfill, or to make it so any attempt to fulfill such a request will be highly visible. The Europeans have exactly the same problem with regards to the US, which is one of the reasons that GDPR exists.

As I said before, right now, ByteDance faces much stronger political pressures from the US than from China.

However, beyond all this theoretical argumentation about which government exerts more control over ByteDance, the argument that TikTok is a security threat is absurd. It's primarily a platform for little funny videos, dance videos, etc. The motivation for banning TikTok is clearly just part of the larger tech war against China, and the general hysteria that has developed with regards to China in the US. That's why a thread about a tech company misusing user data to try to identify a leak has turned into a discussion about "the CCP."

> You sign up for an account at some server and the moderator can just ban you for no reason (which happens to a lot of people).

No one I know personally has been banned.

The only people I've seen blocked and banned were aggressively anti-LGBT and who claimed their free speech was being impinged if they had to stop yelling about it. If you have very strong opinions on other people's sexuality, so be it, but go get your own server rather than yelling this at random passerby. Mastodon encourages good civility and getting along, rather than extreme free speech.

Twitter wants views in order to sell ads and in many ways, controversial extreme opinions can do that -- they get reactions. Mastodon isn't about that. It is more of a friendly place to hang out with friends. It isn't about yelling at political opponents.
