The problem is, if you pull a cable out of your drawer, you don't know if it'll be the correct one.

Show HN: Flowlance: Create invoices from your calendar
Today we're launching Flowlance, where you can create invoices from your calendar. Flowlance helps you create events with your clients who get automatically invited, manage your time and get paid by creating an invoice or via Stripe. No more Excel. Originally made for online tutors, now viable for all session-based solopreneurs / self-employed.

FE: React, react-bootstrap, TypeScript
BE: PHP, Symfony, API Platform

I'm a Full-Stack Developer @ Flowlance, so feel free to ask even about technical details. I'd love to share my experience of developing the creation of invoices from Google Calendar events or the international bank account information input.

I think Pro is the level where people are seriously thinking about performance above the baseline, and that implies to me that they shouldn't have the baseline amount of RAM. It's probably the most important aspect of performance for the "pro" use cases I can think of.

I will completely admit that is the main reason I ever replace my phone.

It usually ends up being more expensive to replace the battery (even doing it myself with an iFixit kit) than to get a new one with carrier subsidies and whatnot.
Any phone will lose software support pretty fast, but on the hardware side a mid-low end android device will last 4-5 years of daily use (n=3). Are you speaking from experience or is higher cost devices lasting longer something that just seems correct?
This is just a perfect representation of the limitations of driverless cars. What happens if you crash? Well, it depends doesn't it. Sometimes you want to pull over and get out the way to limit the danger of anything else happening. Sometimes you've got to stop in place because you'll cause more damage/danger by moving. How do you know? You make a judgement call, you might even get out of your vehicle to check it before moving.

What did Cruise do? Well they just said screw it, detect a crash? Pull over. Great, you've just dragged a pedestrian down the road. Now they're putting out a press release saying the new plan is to just stop and not move. Ok, how long before a cruise car detects a crash in the middle of a highway and stops in the middle of highway speed traffic. There isn't a right answer of what to do here, it's a judgement call and I think we probably need better answers than just "I'll just swap out the if statement here".

By going back to how an economy is supposed to work: you exchange money of known supply for items of value, and making the hard tradeoffs about which items of value are worth spending money on.

I suspect that the actual cryptocurrency that wins out here hasn't been invented yet, or it'll be a layer on top of Ethereum. It needs to actually function like a currency, and it needs to give you mechanisms to trade items of value in the real world, goods and services, for future goods and services. None of this "it's just a wildly variable front over USD that you can profit off of swing trades."

That's certainly the way it would be implemented — an additional invisible member in every chat, which I've seen openly proposed. There's no way it would be transparent to the users, though. You'd simply have to be tech-savvy enough and well-informed enough to understand implicitly that this is the case.
Alan Kay describes OOP as defining interactions with/between values via mini languages/algebras. In a language like Smalltalk (using whitespace and mixfix syntax) this very much feels like crafting a lightweight/hosted DSL. Other languages require a lot more squinting, to get past the host language's punctuation and ceremony.

For example, compare something like the following:

canvas drawA: circle at: topLeft in: red.

canvas.draw(circle, at=topLeft, in=red);

One of the first things you usually do as part of planning a season of a dramatic TV show is to figure out the arc of each character, up or down. You can't get anywhere unless you know where you're going. And then yes, it's similarly an extremely conscious part of the writing process at the episode level, act level, and scene level. It's very much "recipe" in that sense -- but that's not to take away from any of the creativity. It's just the basic structure for creativity, the frame.

Now, of course, it's recipe because of lots of trial and error in writing stories and seeing what stories worked and which didn't. If you're writing something shorter like a movie, you may very well implement the pattern on your own through intuition. But you also may very well not, and the script will have problems, and rewriting will be a lot more successful if you're aware of structure and not just relying on intuition.

Thank you for sharing this. This is such a deliciously cartoonish fact.

I’d disagree with that.

(1) It seems to be one of the world’s best kept secrets but Meta Quest 3 came out last month and it rocks. Karl Guttag hasn’t reviewed it yet because he knows his pessimistic reviews of products that hardly anyone can buy won’t hold up for a product that people will try for themselves.

That is, if you are interested in developing for Apple Vision and you aren’t getting started with the MQ3 you aren’t serious.

(2) Generative A.I. is expected to save “the metaverse” if anything can. That is, the problem w/ XR is the high cost of content authoring. It’s not going to become a mainstream medium unless the kind of people who invest in SEO and paid online marketing for various businesses can afford to author content for it.

AI is way too overhyped and also completely not understood.

The only thing reading AI on a product tells you is that there is software.

I'm unconvinced GPT will remain as a mass market tool. Google Docs got super popular because people don't want to fork out like $50 for microsoft word; they're not going to fork over $15/month to do web searches.

Apparently the 870 EVO is good for 2400TBW (I picked that because it was the first thing that I stumbled across while googling, not sure what brand Apple uses, but I guess they must be aware that they are planning to swap a lot, so I bet they went for the higher end).

So assuming Apple’s disk isn’t much worse than an 870 Evo, that’s around 7 years. Probably increased a bit if your weekend workload is lighter.
But then you have books of rules like "Save the Cat!" that identify a lot of beats that you do usually find in screenplays. Maybe not all the ones are in every script, but it's uncanny how the midpoint is almost always as described to where you can pause it when you feel the beat and you're halfway through the film.
I think all stories will find themselves in these patterns, but it's important to let the story find the pattern rather than the other way around.

I doubt that the person who came up with the story of Icarus was attempting to do RISE, FALL explicitly.

Although, it's also important to be open to new paradigms. If you believe that there are only two stories: RISE and FALL, you can find yourself stretching metaphors to their breaking point to make stories fit in a box.

That's how I'd like to think that they'd go about it. I'd be interested in learning the details. Say for example that younger people tend to be able to go without for a longer period than older people. I don't know if that's true, but if so you could prolong the lives of older people now but then get to the younger folks later, but not necessarily vice versa.

This has been used for decades by malware and shellcode that needs to be compact and position-independent (loaded at any virtual address). It is clever and as a side effect is that the string is already loaded on the stack, so if your next step is to call a function with that string as an argument, you can just call that function directly.

It used to confuse a lot of disassemblers, where you'd have to re-synchronize the disassembly after the string and disambiguate between 'code' and 'data' by hand.
Hum... A grammar conflict on parser combinators always require that you step down from the parser abstraction and resolve it by hand with basic language functionality, doesn't it? It's something quite hard to notice.

I worked with a client who used a multi-millon dollar system for moving goods automatically into packaging stations. The system was built and maintained by a major european company. All the data was transfered automatically between systems normally, but one day, for some reason, there was an internal communication error inside the machine which caused a lot of packages to be sent without being recorded as such.

Now normally we would just have contacted the company and asked them for a data extraction so we could cross-reference the data. But since it wasn't clear who was at fault, and we knew it would take weeks for that extraction, we looked for an internal solution first.

Now there was a subsystem in the machine that worked only in Internet Explorer, with an old authentication scheme, that we could use to see the information we needed, so I, being the only person in the team without formal analysis training but having made my way there from a clerk job, knew exactly what to do.

I fired up the old IE, Excel, wrote in 5 minutes a VBA script that did exactly what you described, click there copy that etc, and 30 minutes later we had our extraction, and resolved the issue completely before the packages were even shipped.

All hail Excel.

GPT-4 Turbo is dramatically worse at one task I often try:

Read the following passage from [new ML article]. Identify their assumptions, and tell me which mathematical operations or procedures they use depend upon these assumptions.

GPT-4: Usually correctly identifies the assumptions, and often quotes the correct mathematics in its reply.

GPT-4 Turbo: Sometimes identifies the assumptions, and is guaranteed to stop trying at that point and then give me a Wikipedia-like summary about the assumptions rather than finish the task. Further prompting will not improve its result.

Are you suggesting that the internet keeping bad actors away is not a fool’s errand? Everything you say is correct but entirely irrelevant.
I disagree. For me it's useful mostly for position independent shellcode prologue, which has no sections to speak of, and may get embedded in a "normal" executable or something that is not an executable at all (useful in a bootloader, or for injecting code to another process, or self-relocating code, etc). I use this "trick" all the time and I never felt the need to mess with a linker for this.

But it's a good hint, I hope I didn't sound overly negative.

I find it comical you think a programming language can be used to push a political agenda. That's got to be the least effective way to spread political ideology I've ever heard. You make it sound so sinister.

The legal situation is more complicated than blaming the parents. To extend your analogy: If someone had a business that rented cars and somehow 11 year olds were renting the cars and driving them, the rental car company couldn’t shrug it off and blame the parents.

That’s why this is complicated: If a business knows criminal or dangerous activity is taking place on their platform, there is some obligation to make a good faith effort to address the situation. The expectation isn’t perfect enforcement because it’s not reasonable to shut every large business down as soon as 1 incident occurs, but if a platform becomes known as a haven for certain types of behavior then their liability continues to go up. Given how many people in this thread are joking about how Omegle was known as a free-for-all platform for people exposing themselves and as a platform for bored kids, it’s not surprising that the lawsuits are coming. Also, given their limited monetization options it’s not surprising that they choose to close rather than deal with legal battles.
How would you go about implementing a common market without a court to handle disputes?
I worked with Redfin years ago to sell my house. The agent came in, shared his analysis and wrote down on a piece of paper what the house would sell for and how much I would make at closing. We officially listed the house on Friday at the previous suggested number, had 3 offers by the end of the weekend and accepted the only realistic offer a few days later for almost exactly the price he stated. Mind you this was back in 2014 so the market wasn't white hot and our house was just another house on a street where most looked the same. I can't recall why we did not qualify for the 1% rebate back then but I believe he deserved every penny of his commission.

However I have been on the mortgage side of the business as a loan processor and it seemed to me that for the most part realtors were lazy. It seemed crazy to me no matter the work involved they expect that 3% commission. In the end you are having to pay to access MLS, and that access costs 3%, even if the house could sale itself due to the area or market. I have seen realtors advertise that if they don't sell your house in 30 days, then they reduced the commission, which I think is probably the best way to go about it. I would rather get the sale done quickly than what usually happens where the realtor lists the house for what the sellers want and then they have to keep dropping the price because its too expensive.
