Ask HN: Using no-code tools to prototype faster in a startup? (e.g. Flutterflow)
I’m a software engineer who has not done much mobile dev, and Flutterflow (no-code tool for mobile dev) makes mobile app dev + deployment so easy: https://flutterflow.io

However, it costs quite a lot ($70/month), and I heard the Dart code it generates is not easily extendable.

In the early stages of a startup, it’s way more important to iterate quickly and not worry about scalability, so I’m wondering if anyone has successfully used no-code tools and is willing to share experiences with them!

I have seen the hiring process too when doing my PhD and decided to go to others sector too. Scarily similar story to OP.
Granted it was not the main motivator for my leaving, as it also showed me that being close to faculty staff similar guaranteed a position eventually and I was generally close to all senior faculty. But I saw people being skipped with stellar records.

Industry hiring isn't fair either, but there is a lot less competition, more flexibility and generally much better pay.
Too late for me. I just had some thoughts about how you might avoid some of the traps we didn’t.
I'm the parent commenter, but the viewpoint you're agreeing with is an extract from the article, not my perspective, as indicated by the > before the paragraph. My own comments are the subsequent two paragraphs.

In short, I entirely agree with @brasic: the article author has a nonstandard configuration (clearing cookies automatically before their expiry date) and based their entire article on the difficulties that this highly unusual and unnecessary choice has caused for them. "Hair shirt" is a great way to describe it.

> Making healthy security conscious decisions like low TTLs on local cookie storage (such as cookie purge on browser/tab close) feels unrewarded when the site enforces additional security gates on login. The point is: unique login devices may have been a good idea, but in practice the design of the web does not make them an ideal candidate for bolstering user security.

This is exactly @brasic's point, though: if a website can affirmatively identify that you've logged in from this machine before, that's a pretty good indicator that this new session is a legitimate login. We can do that through cookies, and for most users that's just fine. If you clear cookies regularly for security reasons, then you shouldn't be offended that a website asks you for extra confirmation that you are you, since that is also done for security reasons.

Clearing cookies for a domain is instructing your browser to identify itself as though it had never spoken to that server before. If you want the server to know you're still you, maybe just leave the cookies there?
"RPython is a subset of Python2 that can be statically compiled. The PyPy interpreter is written mostly in RPython (with pieces in Python), while the RPython compiler is written in Python." - https://rpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.htm...
China has the same issue if not worse, they are also very fast heading to a be a nation of majority senior citizens. Meanwhile the US has one thing saving it, immigration, to keep it’s demographic pie more in balance.
That's a pretty narrow view.

The things that are being automated go much, much further than just those two examples. I'd like to add: classification (including lots of medicine) and diagnosis, lots of low level information processing, process and machine control, vehicle control (for instance: self driving cars) etc.

Whether all of those will succeed for 100% of the cases is up in the air but if I were coming-of-age and slated for some job I'd be very wary of what to pick as a blue collar worker because almost all of those jobs could well be on the chopping block in the next decade.
Obligatory bullshit episode:

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0771272/
Personally I find the fact that Keynes's 15-hour work week never materialized despite massive improvements in automation to be fairly strong evidence in favor of Marx's Labor Theory of Value.

One of the ways that Marx posited capitalist extract surplus value is to have the increase in quality of life always lagging the increase in efficiency. Our quality of life does increase, but only if capitalists are able to increase greater surplus value from our labor than that quality of life increase accounts for.

> don't forget that we're going to take down the world economy with it

Interestingly enough this is one of the major focuses of Capital vol III: the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.

Marx argued that eventually the Capitalist pressure to increase efficiency through automation means that while production continues to be more efficient, precisely because of this the ratio of profit to capital expended decreases. For Marx this was the ultimate threat to Capitalism itself.
> Do you know what else sounds like a recipe for killing people? Not allowing people to access therapeutics that might save their life because it hasn't yet gone through regulatory approval yet for whatever reason (delays, too expensive to submit), etc.

Should we at least demand more specific criteria than "X _might_ save their life", like threshold of suggestive evidence? There will always be lots of stuff that hasn't been closely studied, the effects of which we can only partially describe. You could isolate any new molecule from some previously unknown bacterium and say it "might" be a treatment for any disease, but that's just a statement of our own ignorance right?

If we say, "so long as it hasn't been conclusively shown to _not_ beneficial for the patient's disease, then it _might_ help them, so it should be fair game", then that seems to open the door to quacks selling snake oil to desperate dying people and their families. And of the unenumerable list of potential "it might work because we haven't yet shown that it doesn't" chemicals, why shouldn't unethical practices pick the most expensive options available?

"Of course you must understand there can be no guarantees with any treatment, and this may be a long shot, and precisely because of the lack of prior studies we cannot even give you any efficacy numbers. But we're at the cutting edge of medical science! Please make out a check for $500k and sign this waver and we can begin treatment as soon as possible."
> Publix has always been more expensive

It's still far cheaper than Whole Foods.

> what the hell are we paying more for?

In my (major) city, Publix has by far the best bakery and prepared foods of any of the grocery stores.

They also reliably have the freshest produce. Does that mean they're more wasteful and take things off the shelves if they're just slightly overripe? I have no idea. I just know that I end up spending more money at, say, Kroger because a lot of the fresh items go bad before I can use them.

I'm personally also willing to pay more to a business that takes care of its employees, but other people might not care that much.
> Do you know what else sounds like a recipe for killing people? Not allowing people to access therapeutics that might save their life because it hasn't yet gone through regulatory approval yet for whatever reason (delays, too expensive to submit), etc.

You're assuming a therapeutic not tested in humans has a better chance of saving someone's life than something tested and available. Do you have any evidence to support this?

> One of the most tragic is amisulpride. Amisulpride is an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and other psychiatric conditions. Some key notes about its regulatory status:

There is little randomised evidence comparing amisulpride with other second generation antipsychotic drugs. We could only find trials
comparing amisulpride with olanzapine, risperidone and ziprasidone. We found amisulpride may be somewhat more effective than
ziprasidone, and more tolerable in terms of weight gain and other associated problems than olanzapine and risperidone. These data,
however, are based on only ten short to medium term studies and therefore too limited to allow for firm conclusions.

This review compared the effects of amisulpride with those of other so called second generation (atypical) antipsychotic drugs. For half
of the possible comparisons not a single relevant study could be identified. Based on very limited data there was no difference in efficacy
comparing amisulpride with olanzapine and risperidone, but a certain advantage compared with ziprasidone. Amisulpride was associated
with less weight gain than risperidone and olanzapine.

What's so tragic about this? Equally efficacious antipsychotics are available. Once again the alternative to non-approved drug isn't nothing or inferior substance.

I will concede that legacy off-patent drugs are part of the "very limited" gap with the FDA, this doesn't hold for new drug discoveries as discussed in the article.

Even then, there is an ongoing US trial for amisulpride and the substance is approved for nausea/vomiting (granted not in oral form).

Don’t worry. Everyone and their mother will just go into the trades. Years from now we’ll be browsing PlumberNews where we’ll get to hear about how the demand for plumbers is infinite and how “plumbing is eating the world” and not to worry about massive increase of labor supply from people who are working on building plumbing robots.
In addition cruises are often marketed to people looking to save money, so you have even less of a chance of them spending in a meaningful way, even beyond the rationale you've already laid out.

> anyone who is savvy enough to configure that setting is also savvy enough to understand that that will break "remember this device"

I don't think so. Most people who understand that that will break "remember this device" also understand that clearing cookies doesn't help much with privacy. So the people who do enable that setting generally only know that cookies == tracking and do not understand that that will break "remember this device" ("Dunning-Kruger").
It won't, the AI revolution also comes with fully autonomous weapons systems that will keep the rabble in their place this time around. I think the days of labor having the ability to violently threaten the government are also coming to a end.

> If the promise of AI means I can do 1/2 the amount of work and maintain my high quality life, then I'm all for it.

What I'd personally really hope for is a future in which AI and robotics allow high quality food, housing, transportation, clothing, state-of-the-art medical care, and basic necessities to be available for free to everyone. Basically, a modest, comfortable, safe middle-class-quality life should be free and provided for by robots to everyone in the world.

Anything above that, one would have to work for. It would also likely be a world in which any work humans voluntarily do is interesting work. There might also be some kind of analog art renaissance.
> You have completely written off the harm of dangerous or deadly drugs.

I was only talking about testing on people who we know are going to die fast because of their condition, and we do not have a way to save them in any other way. And naturally only with their consent. People who have a ticking clock and therefore willing to try anything.

This is the context the article in question talks about.

It's a sizeable piece of furniture, so you're looking at more money and more trouble than just buying an external monitor, for benefits that are more uncertain (not everyone is helped by standing while they work). I'm not sure what you're objecting to here.
> This seems like the type of thing that a government will regret in ten years

Then in ten years, they can reassess and easily re-open the dock. I don't think you're right, but there isn't really a big risk here even if you are right. Even if the dock gets repurposed to something else, if this somehow devastates the city's economy, it is easy to reverse.

People will still want to come to Amsterdam, even more so if they weren't able to stop there on a cruise. The only thing that can really stop tourists from coming to Amsterdam is if its reputation somehow falls below its historical postcard allure and libertine reputation. The main threat to that is the city becoming so packed with rowdy tourists, although even still the hotels and hostels will all be full, just not able to charge $100/night for a hostel bed or $300/night for a tiny bedroom like they can now. But if you're right and the city reverses course, I am sure that the cruise ships will be fighting each other for a spot.
>Totally disagree. You could have said the same of Industrial Revolution. Yet here we are living better lives from the technological breakthroughs.

We're living more comfortamble lives and with more trinkets. More stressful, more depressed, more isolated, more damaging to the environment, more casually controlled and supervised, even downright less able to reproduce in the more modern of societies (the total gift of death)...

And especially in the first centuries of the industrial revolution peoples lives got a huge turn for the worse, pushed into cities and factories, working up to 16 hour shifts, little kids working just the same in body breaking conditions, discarded as useless when they had an accident, and so on. And it's not some change they welcomed either. They were pushed into it, by the rich classes destroying their previous livelihood, by legal changes making it impossible to survive, and even by raw police and millitary force. And they resisted tooth and nail to keep their previous way of life.
> People buy and sell stuff. Disney is paying workers. I’m paying Disney. It’s all orchestrated by one controlling entity, but that also describes communism which I’d argue has operated a number of equally fake (albeit less successful) economies.

I'm not going to comment further on this line of thought because it's too ridiculous.

> Yeah, their problem appeared to be a lack of wealth, and a lack of a middle class. There was plenty of poverty, but diversity isn’t code for poor. Diversity means some poor, some middle, some wealthy and they didn’t have much of the latter.

And now please explain: why is it better for those places if some people stay poor?

> Hey, sometimes you don’t want to have the strongest economy. To use an analogy a race car is very high performance, fast, can turn quickly, etc. However a luxury car is more comfortable. Europe seems to prefer a nice balance where their economic system isn’t as resilient or productive, but it’s more pleasant for more people (while things are good). My concern is Europe’s ability to make it through severe economic / military hardships. Frankly they’ve enjoyed this comfort for the past 100 years because the US is doing the hard work of being the economic backstop of the world.

Ah, yes. They only fare better on the metrics I described because the incredible hard work of Americans allows them to. How thankful we should all be. It can't be that the US system simply performs worse on those metrics.

> Again I’m just making observations. I’m not saying that making people poor would improve the economy any more than hurting someone will make them strong… but exercising does cause discomfort, sore muscles, and the occasional injury. I’m saying if you don’t have any discomfort, soreness, etc. then you’re likely not as healthy / resilient as someone who’s exercising to that level.

But the observations aren't grounded in data. You haven't even tried to observe what might be wrong with what you wrote. What if it's not that "economic diversity" is good for a country (as again, you haven't shown that in any way), but it's the distance to the nearest country that plants coffee beans? I'm observing that is roughly true. Does that make it true, or even useful?
Yeah I can't think of a single case where any city deliberately and successfully discouraged tourism to a significant extent.

It's possible to do by like, jacking up hotel taxes 100x, but nobody actually does that. Maybe some little town, I dunno.

> It's just a less efficient means of transportation.

Boats could be a very efficient way of travel. Luxury cruise ships are inefficient because they general carries things like swimming pools, golf courses, major shopping malls and restaurants. The proportion of space and weight that is used for transportation is tiny compared to something like a train, buss or aircraft (or even a car).

Ferries in contrast has very low carbon footprint of travel per kilometer, as can be read in this graph: (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/carbon-footprint-travel-m...).

Since container ships has a very high ratio of transported goods vs total weight of the ship, and those tend to have one of the lowest carbon footprint per ton/mile. It is one of many reason why things like ore is generally always preferred to be shipped by water.

On my work laptop, the poor thing (with an i9!) begins to heat up like crazy after 5-10 minutes of virtual machine usage.

I still think the solution lies in either curbing Airbnb, or banning it.

Every time I go to the airport I'm shocked by how many clear employee's there are just standing around. Their company history[1] is quite interesting too.

I agree the fields origins are quack and much of ongoing proceedings are quack, but IME many of them have just as deep anatomic knowledge as the PTs and have cross training in the same studies and theories as PTs. I think the field is trying to legitimize itself and many practitioners are involved in gyms and sports where real results matter and where they rub shoulders with other therapists and doctors picking up the good ideas and “best practices”.

All that to say I wish the field would die but the amount of quackery can vary very widely between chiros from little more than a pop factory to essentially the same experience as an average PT.
