I’ve built an app that connects multiple phones together wirelessly and records audio with all of their microphones simultaneously. Once you finish recording all the recorded audio tracks are immediately available on all the phones for full-mix playback.

If you aim for the best, studio quality, you can attach any professional microphone to the phone, too.

Should be a nice tool for musicians/bands, podcasters, filmmakers. I’ve created it because I wanted to be able to record my band rehearsals. Handheld recording devices or single mobile phone did not cut it and studio space or equipment was not available or too expensive.

Recording with multiple microphones (multi-track recording) is how you typically record in a recording studio to achieve best quality. The app allows you to do just that but without expensive studio equipment (mixing console, audio interfaces, DAWs, computer, etc.). Also the time to get the full mix that you can play and share is cut almost to zero.
I think GPS screen-based nav is safer than voice-based for any complex interchange situation. Showing me at a glance which lane I need to be in and what my overall path/goal will be is better (at least for me, but I think for loads of people) than describing the same over voice commands.

Voice both takes longer and is subject to being pushed to you at the wrong moment where info from a screen can be pulled on demand and quickly.
Not only that, but back in those days, the ads probably generated the lion's share of their revenues, along with the "classified ads" section (which is also ads, just not so commercial). That $0.10 you paid for the paper only really covered the cost of printing and distribution, if that.

Unlike today, though, the ads in newspapers weren't annoying: they were just print, and didn't pop up dynamically in front of the article you were reading, and no one tried to shame you for not looking at them, unlike today's HN users.
I'm using creepy face on my own site. How fun :)
that interest is about middle of the road for payday loans (UK maximum is 1,800%). The issues are a) high overhead for small loan amounts b) high risk of non-repayment, and c) lack of other options for the borrower. The result is not very pleasant: generally speaking lenders lose out on most loans (either because they are never paid back or paid back quickly), but make the money back from people stuck in the middle and pay back much, much more than the original loan amount because it takes them a long time, another 'cost of being poor'. There's varying degrees of regulation to prevent the worst abuses (for example, in the UK the payback amount is capped at twice what you borrowed) but it's still not great.
> “But what are GitHub stars?”

This is weird. It’s almost as if this is a sales pitch to non-technical management who gets to make the executive decision on what issue tracker to use.

That’s almost antithetical to “by engineers, for engineers”

If this project is driven by commercial interests, then the open-source spirit, if any, isn’t genuine and won’t stick around once VCs want the bait-and-switch.

Edit: the blog post goes at length to discuss growth hacking and “engagement”. The reason Jira is the mess it is is because they tried to accommodate the feature request of every paying customer

Edit 2: seems they are logging telemetry by default https://github.com/makeplane/plane/issues/1694

Edit 3: it’s possible this engagement story is to impress VC / funding first, paying customers second

Edit 4: I’m starting to see the other commentary about plagiarizing Linear in a different light, now that I’m cynical about the ethics and honesty of this project. All the non trivial contributors are exclusively from a country known for Infosys, clickfarms for social media engagement, gamifying the interview/recruitment funnel (see Grace Hopper convention). If this was a truly global crowd source effort as the GitHub stars would make you believe, you’d expect to see more geographical diversity. There’s a point where GitHub stars isn’t just a weak signal, but a negative one
Just FYI, m4 was in the original Unix in 1977, years before the GNU project began. (It was invented by Kernighan and Ritchie.)

Thanks for the VS tip.
My guess is that it is a sort of knee-jerk reaction. Just like the xkcd about CorrectBatteryHorseStaple, where there is a huge difference if the attacker knows for certain that everyones password is Four English Words From The Dictionary, or if you use those four words on a "anything 8 chars or longer works fine" system.

If you know a site has a 4-words policy, the xkcd pw has very low entropy, but if you use this strategy on a "any pw goes" site, a bruteforcer would have to test all lengths upto 25 chars before finding yours (sort of).

So in the port-knock case, it is probably a rather poor method in the specific case that I am on some remote network, and the evil 3rd party is actively sniffing my traffic from my client to my server and can record the knocks. If I have a simplistic knock sequence and they sniff it, they can replay it and get access to my https. But, if we are talking about some 3rd party that only knows a service may be up on the host newly.minted.cert.ccTLD, then it is FAR less likely that they can ALSO sniff my port knocking sequence and start abusing my new TLS service. The chances become almost ridiculously low for this to occur.

So I agree that simplistic port knocking is sort of bad in the long run for cases like "I am often on a hostile network but still want to talk to my home server securely" but would work wonders for "soon after the cert is signed, someone scans my TLS boxes ip".
What do you find "normal" about it? The trees?
No one ever brings up the role of unsupervised learning for early children. Children don't have labels and only limited capabilities to "self-supervise" until they are toddlers. The overwhelming majority of information that they take as input is "clustered" or learned in an unsupervised fashion. Baby learns that apple and orange are different objects before it knows anything else, like names or properties of those objects.

Babies take in far more data (but not text!) in an information theoretic sense than ChatGPT does. This is why I think these ideas that LLMs take far too much data for them to get good is sort of not true
Nobody is being held ransom. GM can win this any time by building good software themselves. This is just another example of tech companies gaining a market through the fair competition of building a better product.

Tbh, the charging pad is bad, if I would rely on it a lot, I would keep a cable in the car. I don't know why, but it heats up so much if you use it, that the iphone overheats and starts to throttle.
> I have way too many tabs, in the middle of the day I often have 40+ per window.

You can definitely use a browser that accommodates for this.

If I may ask, could another option be to try and find the root cause of why you have 40 tabs open?

Maybe the vanilla browsers out there can be sufficient for you if you solved the problem of having to many tabs open; keeping tabs to a minimum?
I’m not GP but my problem with the sidebar is, at least on iPadOS, it does not scroll to match the page on the screen. Most times it scrolls the sidebar way too far and I can’t quickly flip through two or three similarly named pages. For example, I was trying to look at both Microsoft .NET pages.

This is a sms based reminder tool that I made for myself and use quite heavily due to its convenience. (No additional apps/website and other requirement)
I built WattsApp (https://wattsapp.co) to let me see the battery status of my second phone, then i figured i could add a social spin to it.

That's basically what happened, and still the dude found himself charged with a crime.

So farmdve's comment is spot on.
It's not very good comedy. Maybe I'm missing something, or I just find Andy samberg insufferable.
How are you handling the security boundary between tenants? Is each edge function run in a separate Deno process in a VM?
Anything chromium based is just moving the problem of Chromium being overly dependent on Google sponsoring its development, setting its roadmap, and effectively taking important decisions as to what it can and cannot do. Long term, it would be nice to see Chromium becoming more independent from Google. It might take a fork and a consortium of companies taking over development instead of outsourcing that to Google.

But the reality today is that most development on Chromium is done pretty much exclusively by Google with trivial amounts of external contributions.

That's why I use Firefox. I'm not necessarily happy with how that is overly dependent on Google but at least they are semi independent.

The main issue is that there are plenty of companies that like the idea of providing a browser that don't seem to be interested in funding the development of one. Other than Google which at this point is bank rolling Chromium, Firefox, and Safari. This is weird and not long term sustainable.
That would be how it starts, but eventually the ad-free option would go away and your ticket is back to its original price + inflation
And that is exactly why they can be changed - because they're valuable details that can be used to track someone down. Your DNA is easily obtainable and is not used in any meaningful way that would affect your life if it was exposed.
GUI: Long ago, wrote a HN app for linux users that lived in the system tray (https://github.com/captn3m0/hackertray) because I thought that might be faster.

WEB: I wrote a news app (plain-text website) that provides byte-sized news and optimizes for skimmability (https://news.tatooine.club/).

API: I needed to import indian mutual fund data into beancount, so I wrote up an API (https://mf.captnemo.in/) and wrote a small beancount plugin for that uses it.

CLI: I wanted to download songs from youtube, but they were often stitched as complete albums - so I wrote a youtube-cue generator that generates cuesheets that can then be used to split and tag the yt-dlp downloaded audio file. (https://github.com/captn3m0/youtube-cue)

Probably not the “final solution” to airplane turbulence, though it might help a lot!
I built Shortcut Keeper (https://shortcutkeeper.com), a desktop app that lets you save keyboard shortcuts.

It was mainly born out of my need to re-learn a lot of hotkeys when switching from using Windows to macOS. I wanted an easy way to record and keep all the new shortcuts I learned every day in one place.
Interesting, I'm on the SM-G973U1. It always had a Japanese locale iirc. However, I can't recall which version of Android brought fallback locales. I don't remember if it was with this phone or my previous phone that they finally added that feature, but I'm sure it wasn't always a feature.
Something in the article I don't understand:

> Cog lets you use the full power of Python for text generation, without a templating system dumbing down your tools for you.

I would have said that Cog is a templating engine. What distinction is the author drawing here?

I working on a habit tracker connected to Chat GPT (via a custom "GPTs"), I can use natural language to log habits and to create new ones, which has been quite useful since I'm not a good ui designer :D
I created a mobile and desktop GUI app for note taking, todo/task management and basic knowledge management. Focus is on simplicity and security. It synchronizes between devices using Dropbox but is at the same time e2e encrypted, meaning encryption and decryption happens on device, thus also no web UI. I use it daily
Vehicle manufacturers are not (edit: end-user/OS) software companies, it doesn't make sense (or for any company for which it's not the core business) to build their own OS. Yes OS builders control the OS by definition. What's next, car manufacturers producing music so they get control back on what drivers listen to?
That’s what wireless charging is for!
>I'm a customer of AWS and I expect 100% availability

Well, you aren't gonna get it, it's a myth, like "5 nines" and such are, based on that businesses can foresee the unforeseen and plan ahead.

Whether a service is distributed or not, at some point some issue will come up and availability is going to stop for a while.
Do you have any evidence of that?

I know I've seen games given away for free on EGS while they were also for sale on Steam, and seen lower prices on IsThereAnyDeal, but those might all be temporary.

According to Ars, "Sources close to Valve suggested to Ars that this "parity" rule only applies to the "free" Steam keys publishers can sell on other storefronts and not to Steam-free versions of those games sold on competing platforms."

That sounds really dystopian. Akin to having a Scrum standup with the kids each morning before school.

Do you mean personal programming projects or in general?
Ordinary "day to day" operations should have the highest possible isolation level, and a few specific operations should run with loose isolation levels after they have been proved to be both necessary for good performance and harmless. Do you prefer to put your data at risk?

There was land there, they and their ancestors inhabited it for countless generations before present, so they must be considered legitimate citizens, regardless of the names it had back then or today. There was no modern countries in Americas before Europeans arrived, yet we don't call amerindians foreigners because of that.
A Pomodoro timer because I figured for such a simple app I could make one myself that I can adjust to what I want it to be.

CheckYourList.app for routine checklists.

A now discontinued Woolworths (Aussie grocery store) price alert per product when I used to bulk buy for my online chocolate business.

A personal note taking app, focused on capturing hashtagged notes quickly into markdown files which I may release publicly one day.

Beeptestwatch.com to do beep tests without sound from my Apple Watch

Autounsubscribe.me to clean up my inbox.

Getfive.app as an attempt to limit my infinite todo lists.

Some of these apps I released as products, but they all start as an app I built for myself.
> It's impossible to describe Gaza 2005-2022 as indefinite subjugation.

I wasn’t. I was describing Gaza 2023- under a regime that can guarantee nothing like October 7 can ever happen again as indefinite subjugation.
You must be fun at parties.

Jokes aside, I’ve found the Todoist app really great for managing the chaos that’s my life and making sure the things that need doing get done!
I came up with a file format for time-tracking, which lets me store the data in plain-text files in a human-friendly notation. I also built a corresponding CLI tool for evaluating the files on the terminal.

I’ve been using it almost daily for the past couple of years, and so far it has served me quite well.

Blowing the dust of the ol' tin foil hat and dialing conspiracy theory a notch or three... the article is so vague on details that I presume that this was no accident and actually a coordinated effort to get this person in the US. Whether the task was successful maybe we'll learn in a decade or so.
Personally, I found focusing to be far worse than not focusing. People don't do resolutions because if they did them, then life would change. Not necessarily by a lot, but something changes. If you had finished building it in February, you'd have to figure out why it hasn't had one paying user. And now that you've built the app, you can still bring the resolution forward next year, but hesitate to.

So I find the lifehack is to have two targets. You procrastinate on one then do the other. You take baby steps to avoid selling that app and end up doing the half marathon.
Yeah. If the psilocybin effect was merely a placebo effect, that effect would probably wear off after a while, and it would stop working. So this is detectable, though not in a short term trial.

The proposal with using both psilocybin and LSD is based on this assumption: If both substances yield a similar outcome, it is more likely that they both don't work rather than that they both do work (to a similar degree). Presumably the prior probability that two hallucinogens treat depression is rather low. Because most substances don't treat any disorders, let alone depression in particular.
I've noticed some very big changes on my side, especially in terms of quality.

That's actually the reason I'm about to delete my account, the good contributors somehow left.

They're allowed to change the offering. They're not allowed to offer you one thing, but supply another. YouTube is currently testing their legal waters. They currently offer an "ad free" experience with the subscription of Premium. Despite this, they still serve:

* In-feed ads. These include ads for content prominence (preferential placement for creators), articles with link-out, ads for Google products and services like purchasing movies and shows in their store, and ads for Google product features.

* Modal ads in videos which they facilitate. That is, pop-up ads in content.

* Ads for merchandise under the content.

* Ads for paid subscription to channels.

* In-content ads in the form of creator sponsorships. These are becoming egregious.

The official app is absolute GARBAGE now. I can't even turn off shorts anymore. I'm on the verge of cancelling Premium. Once the Digital Markets Act comes into effect in the EU in a couple of months I'll be installing alternative frontends for YouTube which include SponsorBlock.
Hamas could stop fighting, or it could technically dissolve itself in some nonsense world. But it does not derive legitimacy from overt, visible structures. Polite surrender is antithetical to its existence.

Hamas does not want peace. It benefits from violent conflict. Let alone the fact that Iran sits there too in the mix
From memory, one reasonably good solution I saw was with a company called Validic that did IoT integration stuff for medical devices. They got you to set up an HTTP SSE stream, that you just connected to and consumed from as and when events came through.
Nice, with pushdata, do you check if someone uses the same GMail account using GMail's "plus" and "dots" [0] features? (E.g. given bob@gmail.com, then bob+anything@gmail.com, b.ob@gmail.com, bo.b@gmail.com, b.o.b@gmail.com etc are all valid and points to the same address.)

Most modern cars have more than one CAN bus.

Thank you very much! I always look for some word-plays. Fapel is a fap-able element, like a Pixel is a picture element. And, um, TopZemen is very nautic, with its sea men ;-)
I'd rather they rip off Linear than Jira tbh.
I wanted to be able to watch the onboard cameras of endurance races all on one (full)screen as some teams publish the live feeds on youtube during races. So I created https://videwall.com where you can add video players (or other web pages) from a URL and they are set up in an optimal way to fill the screen as much as possible.

I used it for the 24 hours of Le Mans and the next races and had a blast watching them that way :) It was also a good excuse to learn React.

I plan to add a few more features and write about the placement logic when I get the time for it.

> I have no idea where you live but you are completely disconnected from the average reality.

This is a really bizarre response to hard statistics, just openly denying they exist?

The "average reality" is indeed that mothers work. Stay at home mothers are in the absolute minority and have been for a couple decades.

> I'm going to guess NYC or SF because you don't seem to realize that things actually haven't changed that much. You're describing the woke utopia that the left from those places seem to pine for.

You seem to have uncritically swallowed some narrative using terms like "woke" "liberal" "metropolis" and you've assumed that it'l apply to me.

I'm from neither NYC nor SF and I'm not liberal, now what?
After using a Macbook for a while, I became very accustomed to the "drag with three fingers feature" (found in accessibility settings, as I remember). But I am mostly use Windows, and after getting a new Windows laptop, I really missed that feature.

There are apps for that, but I couldn't find any that is lightweight and able to get around some edge cases, like when while you drag with three fingers and let one finger up, it should let you scroll with two fingers, but let you to continue dragging if that was an accidental move and you put third finger back. And you have to address many such small details to have a seamless user experience with touch.

So I wrote my own, and have been happy with it everyday since. It works with any Microsoft Precision Touchpad certified devices, so driver-independent, but I found that implementation of it can differ from vendor to vendor, and it can malfunction on some. And it is very hard to debug without access to device, so I tested only on my laptop, and couple of my friends'. So due to it, I didn't try to make it widely available, and therefore it actually is for my own use. I'll leave the link if anyone want to try: https://github.com/klkvsk/precise-three-fingers-drag, but if anything, don't ask me, make a PR :)
Self-reproducing machines would be a breakthrough at least ten times as big as anything that's happened in machine learning lately.

People have been trying to make self-reproducing machines for decades. It's a way harder problem than language processing.

rtpmidid[1]. After getting some hardware synthesizers and wanting to connect them without using a computer.. but being able to use them too using the computer I stumbled upon with rtpmidi the protocol and it ticked all the boxes I needed. I could connect all my gear to a raspberry pi, use ALSA sequencer to connect devices to each other with another of my programs AseqRC[2], and then use my synths from my DAW without touching any cable.

So after a fast prototype I created rtpmidid and I'm quite happy on how it works.

And it also helps with the USB ground loop noise that it seems unavoidable some times.

For some time I had even two Orange Pis connected to two sections of my gear, using USB gadget support so my MPC One could speak rtpmidi. MPC One has support to connect as host to MIDI devices, but as guest (connect to the computer) only in controlled mode which is not what I needed to convert my MIDI tracks to my DAW.
