The lens solution is clever and, I’m glad to see lenses catching on outside the haskell ecosystem

I think the primary issue you raise comes down to whether or not the peers can be verified to be updated before applying the migration op. If this is the case, you can go the standard sql route of deploying a diff adding forward compatibility, applying migration op, deploying diff removing backward compatibility. This is the route I’ve gone since in my case the peers are web browsers so I’ve got a pretty reliable deployment system; though the lens solution is much better since it lifts this requirement
My post wasn't petty or antagonistic, it's basically stating a fact from observed behavior. Judging people by their behavior is not putting anyone in a bucket. I get you think you're being a voice of reason here, but you seem to have misunderstood the point I was making as much of what you say is irrelevant.

I can't stop you from being petty and antagonistic yourself by flagging comments that don't need to be flagged, but I would ask you don't interact with/reply to me again in the future.

I have. Too much "magic," and I'm too experienced to fall for that again. No more magic, I should be able to see and understand how every part of my stack works top to bottom.

That's why I'm for isolating the front end from back end frameworks via something agnostic like WebAPI.
I think maybe it would do you some good to sit down for a moment and think about just how mindbogglingly big space is.

I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.
I do not see any indication of its "not-readiness" anywhere in the README https://github.com/lapce/lapce or their website: https://lapce.dev/

So while it isn't claiming to be ready, their content does not tell otherwise. Yes, the version is 0.3, but Neovim is at 0.9.
You can do extremely complicated things on chain that require manual human analysis to figure out how to report it. You can do this thousands of times per year. It adds up to a huge amount of work.
Apple has an incentive to discourage web use to keep people in their app ecosystem, so it’s not inconceivable that small frustrations like that are just one of the ways they do it.
Apple made some really good progress in the latest MacOS and iOS releases. I have been using the "Add to Dock" feature in Safari for things like YT Music and Twitter/X. It's pretty neat and works well.
I couldn't really place it, even with therapy, until I came across a quote by Carl Gustav Jung:

"Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible."

This instantly rang very true for me. Whenever I feel lonely now, I think about what is important to me, and then identify or find "the right people" to talk to about it. Over the past few months, it really helped me more than anything else.
I keep reading of these upcoming photonic hardware architectures capable of 100x+ increases. I sure as hell hope they hit market soon.
I was looking to get rid of our old oil boiler. Crunching the numbers on heat pumps and their efficiency at certain temperatures, I was surprised to find that a propane boiler actually came out ahead. And propane isn't cheap where I live.

I decided to put in a modern wood stove instead.
> 15km long and 9 miles in length

This is not mixing. He's just presenting the length in two different measurement systems.
COP "above 1" is nothing to brag about. I'd say that a COP of around 2 should be the minimum at which a heat pump is considered "working". Otherwise this propaganda seemingly based around the cost of resistive heating actually becomes relevant. (I've no idea of the exact current state of the art though).

It is 720p. And the image quality is much better than Netflix's HD. I tried to look at Valerian on Netflix. The colours were so bad that i decided to look at the DVD instead. Sound on Netflix is terrible.

Thanks for sharing this! This is exactly what I was afraid of -- that this might be a company focused on the "shiny" and not the polish. The website was a big red flag for me, but most reviews don't get into the nitty-gritty of stuff like that.
This response seems to be spinning a narrative that Democrats have a significantly broader support in the US than Republicans, but I think that is somewhat misleading. Independents have stronger support than either of the major parties.

This is wrong. No one says this.
This gets at the crux of the matter. Just because you aren't literally billing anyone by the hour doesn't mean there isn't an implicit contract/mutual expectation that you're working 40-ish hours a week. Because as soon as the conversation switches to I'll take whatever I can get away with and you take whatever you can get away with, it may work a while but probably isn't a good long-term situation.

Just because someone can get off with something doesn't mean they should or if it would be good for society for everyone to act that way.
That does read weird

"15km long, or 9miles"

Would be much better

The mixing of 'length' and 'long' was odd.
Writing (and illustrating) an amateur novel is the most creative fun I've ever had. Highly recommended if you have a mind to try. (trained artist, but software developer by day)

I wrote one[1] about 5 years ago. It's amateur and too long, but it's my great American novel, for better or worse! It actually took 4 years, but so much fun! The most annoying part was getting it into a viable ePub. I ended up using Sigil, as it was the easiest to use at the time.

Yes, it has all that - console applications with no GUI, GUI interfaces on the desktop as well as web interface - has pretty much everything if you know where to look.
Can you elaborate why you think that?
My experience is the opposite. It involves telling your peers and managers that tasks take far longer than they do, that you have no bandwidth to spare for more work, and pushing tasks on sympathetic peers while claiming to be overworked.

I'm sure people exist with that don't ask don't tell situation, but I don't think it's the norm
Starting My Second Microsaas
Hi! John here

This is my first post here in the community and I intend to share with you my experience developing a simple habit management application focused on bigger goals. The idea is for the user to launch which habits he will perform along with what goal he has with these habits.

At the time of writing this post I'm updating my account on X, as I've never had much interest in browsing there, but as I want to do a #buildInPublic, I believe it will be a good post on this network since at first I will only make posts in text and image format.

Who am I
As I said, my name is João :) I've been working with web development for about 15 years and I'm currently a tech lead on the front-end team at a cool HR technology startup. I have two main goals building microsaas:

It's an excellent opportunity to acquire knowledge in new technologies, things that are in the hype, good practices, products, etc... Something that I will take with me for the rest of my life and lessons that I will also implement in my daily work day.

Extra income for weekend wine.

Development
The stack I will use is Flutter due to the ease of developing for multiple platforms. The app will be available for Android, IOS and Web, I don't know yet if I will make it available for desktop... Authentication will be performed by Firebase Auth, and data storage will be local for free users, and for paying users it will be Firestore :)

If you are thinking about creating a microsaas too, I highly recommend this stack as it is very simple to implement

I confess that I already tried to start this app about 4 days ago, and the design of the app is something that really bothers me! I've already done and redone my home about 10 times lol

Now I'm planning to build a minimalist screen and we'll add more features over time. Today I'm only going to work on the habit list screen, as I don't have much time to develop them. (work is busy!)

Today's post was just an introduction, in the next few days I'll bring you updates here and on X.

Strong hug!

I have considered the that, but I ultimately decided they work because they are a fabric of what that ecosystem _is_, not what it has.

It's the same reason two sites that are more or less the same will have entirely different communities. There isn't any reason you couldn't implement the one on the other, but it's not in the core substance.
Physical energy? Regular exercise, of a form I liked doing.

Mental energy? Finding time to be alone. Going for a walk.
I'm a developer but also have an art degree and an art background. I'm very mediocre at art and design. But lately I've been using AI to help plug that gap a bit. I really think it will be possible for me to make an entire game where I do the code, and AI plus my mediocre art skills get the art side across the line.

I think at least in the short term, this is where AI's power will lie. Augmentation, not replacement.
I'm looking at a language to write simple executables with or without GUI and that are not too verbose or too complicated. A bit like a compiled python :)

Would .NET 8 be a good challenger ? I previously didn't consider it because the compilation to binary was looking more like an experiment, and the example I've seen were quite verbose (in a java way).
McDonald's will let you start an order in the app and pick it up at drive-thru, and for the times I get McD's, this has become my preferred way of ordering. I don't have to explain my substitutions and hope they're translated right. I don't have to order in a specific way, or be prepared with my meal/drink preference. I even get to prepay with ApplePay. It makes the whole experience so much more pleasant for me.
What countries don't regulate crypto these days? Certainly the US and EU does.
I mean, aren't there whole web browsers and email clients written inside of Emacs? Isn't there a whole "Emacs is an operating system" joke?

But in any case, I try to avoid bespoke custom editor setups unless there's a situation that really warrants it.
I get that it can be a source of stress for the dev, but knowing if a project is still alive is needed before investing too much time in it
You can just copy and paste "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy" 50,000 times and "win" there's no need for AI.

Yes. The irrational belief that big, sophisticated organizations are scary but tiny, opaque organizations with weird names and no verifiable capabilities whatsoever are safe is a form of low-level derangement.
There's nothing special about higher education. Most departments have to fight for their budget. Higher education should pay more so it can compete. Hell, if you ask me, more universities should act as developers and landlords for student housing.

The Ivy Leagues maybe, but those aren't the schools worried about a lack of public money.
>"1. This assumes that that a someone can/will usually accurately scope 4 stories, with proper requirements, and clear peer review standards. In practice, this can be hard to do and inconsistent."

I highly suggest you focus on this rather than "are they doing the work?". Having accurate estimates and proper scoping of stories is vital to predicting releases and maintaining a road map. If you feel your org is lacking in this, I would focus on this first. As engineers, we need to scope multiple things into the story. Development, Testing, Deployment needs, Documentation. It's not just a "ticket" to do "x". Story points are complexity metrics. Not man hours. Don't feel like you need to complete Y story points to be effective. Story points are relative. Which brings me to your second point.

>"2. If someone falls behind on their assigned story quota, how would a manager know whether that is because the story didn't meet the criteria in item 1, or because the person isn't putting in sufficient effort because of OE or other commitments?"

Quota is why you fail. There isn't a quota. There isn't a set number of stories a person should do. Only what they are capable of. Also, one 8 point story is probably worth more business value than eight 1 point stories. Not always, but usually.

You can measure an individual's contribution to velocity, you can measure an individual's number of stories completed. However, neither of these are metrics of whether that individual is providing business value.

To measure whether an engineer is pulling their weight, talk to the other members of the team about work deliverables. You'll know pretty soon whether or not that individual is supporting the team (and thus may have lower story point totals) or is just absent from the discussions.

You can NOT justify firing someone simply because they have another job, so long as it doesn't interfere with their duties or is during the same hours if hourly. At least not in the USA. There is no law against moonlighting so long as there isn't a conflict of interest.

I mean, you can exercise at-will employment and just fire them because you feel like it, but your reputation will tank.

I know employers want to trap their employees into working just 1 job, 1 career, for 50 years, with no strings attached, and no pension to offer, but the reality is many of us have to work two or more jobs because we can't afford our mortgage or need to pay off those predatory student loans we were promised would be eliminated but weren't.

So here's my take. If you suspect someone is working more than one job, be an adult and have a 1:1 and ask them about it. Ask them what you can do for them to have them commit to only working for you. If you are offended that they dare work two jobs when you believe the company is providing more than enough, I bet you don't have a 7% mortgage.

Instead of leading with the stick, try the carrot. Empathy will go a long way.

I forgot to mention that I was referring to Avalonia, but when I tried to write something relatively simple beyond the music-player demo app, I got lost in the weeds extremely quickly. Avalonia needs a lot of work on its documentation, there are huge gaps, the quality is really inconsistent, and its abstractions fall apart really quickly

The What, Why, and How of Mastering App Size
I can easily believe any of the US, Russia, and Ukraine did it.

The US because I agree with you about their history of playing such games; Russia because they are currently doing stupid things and blaming everyone else for it; and Ukraine because (while it would be really risky if they were found out) it has an obvious direct benefit of making it much harder for anyone in the EU to spend money on Russian gas even if they wanted to.

There could be others, but I'm not sure who. China doesn't seem likely to be interested to me, but I could be wrong. North Korea seems like a chaos gremlin, but I don't think they have the capability.

Greenpeace? :P
I asked Dalle,

> I can certainly create images inspired by public domain works. However, when it comes to characters like Winnie the Pooh, while the original versions of the character by A.A.

After, I was able to get it to draw a very good Winnie the Pooh with

Here I am longing for drones to replace grocery/food delivery people to reduce stranger contact and OP is on a different vibe.

I would have agreed with you in the past, but the world changed quite a bit. It's also probably not a new thing but people are very mean, cruel, difficult, entitled,etc... we can still collaborate when we must no matter what, even remotely.

Everything is recorded and everyone is politically extreme. Being a victim is trendy and attention is the new gold.

As the saying goes (not that i fully agree): "Hell is other people".

My humble opinion is that the root cause is a lack of legislation to regulate tech and its effect on us, and that in turn is driven by people used to the old world who don't have the stomach to support uncomfortable changes. Ideologies need to adapt to changing realities.

One example I can give you is that there is no longer a consistent expectation of social etiquette and conduct. If the person from the blog post ordering on the kiosk had a rude experience for example, they can't just report it to a manager unless they be called a karen, have a hostile recorded reaction which might cost them their livelihood and relationships. Even if they could report it, corrective action is no longer realistic in today's world. And even if the interaction was pleasant for you, you might get spit in your food if you unknowingly offended them. Tap on a screen and you're all done, that's much better. Heck, order it for delivery from home and they won't even see you and get offended by your appearance!

We live in a world of half informed clever assholes and constant animosity. It is genuinely a shock to find a decent real human being.
Thankfully .NET folks are confident that their audience has the skills to manage those features.

I kinda both agree and disagree with you. I agree that it won't change much in the grand scheme of things, but at the same time I disagree on the footnote part. If blowing up a natural gas pipeline is just a footnote, then it means the responsible parties can do all sorts of attacks and then later simply say: "well, it's just a distraction, let's forget about it and move on".
The problem here is that the main suspect has control over both WaPo and those who hold the guy in jail. Oh, and over the countries that carry out the investigations too. Essentially, you're asked to disregard the motive, the capabilities, the unambiguous public statements made by the most likely suspect and accept their fall guy explanation. That's a bit too much disbelief to suspend.
And one more add: Barenaked Ladies are the best value for my dollar when I do want the "it's a party" vibe. Not so much spectacle, but damn are their live shows fun. Some of their music really resonates with me but their live show prowess kicks it up several notches.

Ask HN: Dear startup founders, what have you developed in-house?
I have been discussing this topic with several founders and have come to realize that when startups develop non-core solutions in-house to address specific problems, these often present very interesting business opportunities. This is especially true if the solutions are complex and time-consuming to develop. Even if third-party software that addresses these problems is expensive, it's usually still more cost-effective than dedicating engineering resources to develop similar solutions in-house.

I want to test this thesis with the Hacker News community of startup founders by asking about solutions they have developed in-house and their reasons for doing so.
Nuh, dont want to use shame for that. Only for things like stopping 5 year olds from showing their private parts in class. Cant even do that anymore
