Being a work machine it's pretty locked down (compliance reasons); I don't have the option of installing much non-standard stuff.

I don't want to be unduly unfair - on the one hand, it's faintly annoying that Mac people always say "oh you just need to install ${widget}" ... but I realise that we do the same on Linux: "you just need to apt-get ${widget}" ! We have the illusion that that's part of the OS.
I would distinguish between "local dev environment" and "debugging specific data-dependent customer issue".

My experience is you can usually write the application with no dependencies on customer data, and do local development entirely with synthetic data.

For debugging specific customer escalations or understanding data distributions for your synthetic data modeling, you can use a replica of production. No need to extract just a subset or have devs host it themselves. All access can be controlled and logged this way.

Better than a replica would be something like [1] but that isn't available everywhere.

I agree the problem of "dump a DB sample that respects FK constraints" comes up sometimes and is interesting but I'm not sure I'd use it for the problem you describe.

Apple never banned Adobe from making a Flash player app on iPhone. They decided against shipping it as a plug-in for Safari on iOS.

The fact that Adobe could not have made a Flash player app (imagine an app which you point an URL at to load its Flash content) helps explains the problem.
Back then it was common to print it all out so you could reason with it.

It's tempting to over analyze the term game. The point of TFA, and my comment, was not to portray dating as a Machiavellian rule driven process. The point of TFA and this comment is that we can understand perfectly normal and beautiful and organic human messiness in interpersonal relationships with game like analogies. That's the point of the term Game Theory.

In Game theory, one does not necessarily consciously act as though playing a game, it just so happens that their organic choices are often understood using game analogies. That's why the field is valuable. It wouldn't be a valuable model if everyone could wake up tomorrow and opt out.
When I read “wrong tower” at the top, I thought the submission was about the wrong tower.

It took me a while to figure out that only the link later in the parent’s comment is wrong.
I don't see any sarcasm from me in the thread. I had serious questions. Perhaps you could point out what you see? Thanks for the supportive words about the project.

> As a young dev, it taught me that focusing only on KPIs can sometimes drive behaviors that don't align with the intended goals

Something I've learned along the way as well. A few times in my career I will end up working under a manager that insists only work "that can be explicitly measured" be performed. That means they forbade library upgrades, refactors, things like that because you couldn't really prove an improvement in customer metrics or immediate changes in eng productivity.

I've also been at companies that follow that mantra more broadly and apply it to eng performance reviews. The entire culture turns into engineers focusing on either short term gains without regard for long term impact, or gaming metrics for meaningless changes and making them look important and impactful.

Important but thankless work gets left behind because, again, it's work that is not "immediately measurable." End result is a bunch of features customers hate (eg dark patterns), and a rickety codebase that everyone is disincentivised fix or improve.
90% _today_. Strategic chess moves like this are about the next decade. The web is becoming more and more powerful and who says Fortnite can't run in a browser in 5 years? Especially if EU forces Apple to allow alternative browser engines that Apple can't control. It's an existential threat to the App Store model.

The most long-lived societies seem to be the ones that can suppress violence internally when at peace, but unleash it on a massive scale when attacked from the outside, thus deterring enemies from attempting to conquer them. Semi-isolated geographic location helps.

Both England and Japan seem to fit this description.
There is a tendency for the mentality of management toward QA (and design and production) to flip --- from producers of quality and profitability to mere detractors standing in the way preventing it.

You can't see this on a spreadsheet or a financial statement --- but once it happens, the effects are very real.

Boeing is now reaping the rewards of this sort of flip --- and management will blame anyone but themselves.
Whether or not a large number of people use vim has no bearing on whether or not Zed will reach feature parity with it.
Yep. I think they had enough peer validation from their own bubble and got too comfortable and biased with their marketing. I see this happening a lot in tech circles. The world at large has definitely not seen muse and what it can do. I think the product is great!
I wish you and the rest of the android team hadn't forced me to give you so many of my bytes, but you're most welcome, good luck.
Maybe we don’t need all those new drugs? Are they helping patients, or are they just slightly changed existing drugs that allow the industry to ask for more money?
It depends on what your goal was in the first place. AFAICT most single use plastic bans were put in place to avoid the plastic ending up in waterways etc.
Thanks for this list. In 2014, I switched to a vegan diet with a heavy emphasis on restricted oil consumption too, and the weight peeled off. I originally did it for dietary/health reasons, but over the years I've developed more of an ear for the ethical reasons too. I never have felt like I'm not getting enough protein, but occasionally when conversations like this come up, it's nice to know what's out there. I'd never heard of TVP.
It actually depends on the country. The Amsterdam is more relationship oriented, Berlin is in-between, Valencia is hook ups, Koh Phangan is for hook ups (tourists, I didn’t swipe Thai women).

The US was awful. NYC perhaps wasn’t awful. I didn’t swipe enough there.

This is just my experience.

We also get brilliant insights about how solar panels don’t generate power at night.
Saying “zero work out into this” and noting they didn’t prioritize it is different from implying they’re naive and unaware of how complex and intricate Accessibility can be. I’m not actually interested in whether they support it or not - I just think your comment is a poor and/or lazy attempt at dunking on them. It contributes to this site being less interesting discussion and turning it into /. 3.0.

(For what it’s worth, if I was building a next gen (attempt) at developer tooling, I would punt on Accessibility at the start as well. It sucks, but that’s such a smaller segment of the market that you don’t _need_ to serve immediately. It only matters that you eventually get there.)
You can literally type "woke shit" in and you get woke shit out. I am so impressed.

On the other hand, in a codebase where test coverage is poor and average tenure of engineers is ~1yr, a significant impediment is getting the initial test scaffold set up; maybe I don’t know how to build factories for all the incidental inputs required to test my code, but I do know how the code itself should behave.

If LLMs can help you to scaffold a test, and make it easy for you to write the business logic validation, I think that would be a big win.

On the other hand, if the generated tests are like most UTs, they will be over-coupled to the implementation and therefore slow down development. You might even see folks start deleting all the tests and regenerating them as part of a big diff, if it’s too hard to fix individual test cases that are failing due to coupling rather than any logic issue.
Maybe someone can explain this to me....

If the company was worth zero before the new round of investment, then surely the investors would not put any money into it?

So, if on the other hand it was worth something, then it's worth what people are willing to pay for it. In this case they valued the company at 1000 shares * 10K, or 10 MM. So OP should receive 15% of that.

An alternate case might be that the new valuation anticipated future profits and so was 100 MM, but since realizing such profits requires further investment that OP cannot make, their share is restricted to 15% of 10 MM, rather than 15% of 100 MM.

But in no case does it make sense to value the company before recapitalization at near-zero.
I agree with everything in this article. Can we work together lol
We've found something that Germans do on Sundays? I guess there really is an exception to every rule ;)
What a shame indeed.
Same here. Weightlifting for me is sometimes more of a mental workout than a physical workout. Getting oneself into the headspace to "go for broke" on that final set is crazy taxing and requires a ton of focus, especially for full body lifts like squat and deadlift.

I find lifting moderates my mood more than anything, it's hard to be angry when you've thrown all that emotional energy into a set.
It's market segmentation. You want to sell expensive chips to people with money and cheap ones to people without. That's hard to do if the products seem to be equivalent. ECC availability is part of the marketing skill with which people buy Xeon branded processors.

This isn't inherently evil behaviour.

AMD is interesting in this regard. ECC on desktops. Lots of x86 chips have some integrated GPU. Lots of PCIe lanes. The idea seems to be biased much more towards build a great platform, as opposed to build a great profit margin.
There is a difference between something being available later (probably due to regulatory reasons, and with good reason, the FDA sucks at it's job - look at Oxycontin and sunscreens for two egregious examples on the two ends of the spectrum so of course other countries' regulators wouldn't just blindly trust them), and something not being available at all because it's too expensive as was the original claim.

So again, sources for medical devices or medicine not available in single payer healthcare systems because they're too expensive, but available in the US via an insurance?

To expand on this, the FAA also showed itself to be criminally incompetent to the point of sacrificing human lives in service of Boeing. European (and other countries if they wish to, but as a European they're the only ones I can directly advocate for) regulators should stop trusting American regulators, and only pay attention to them to get inspiration and see what to do/what not to do. European regulators are far from perfect, but they're doing a better job and more trustworthy than their underfunded, hated by 1/3 of the country, revolving door corrupt American counterparts.
An excellent example of Whataboutism.

Measures are in the works there, such as the switch to a simpler and cleaner ISA.

The value of simplicity is often overlooked; RISC-V will lead to higher quality software and hardware.

But I digress, as this has no weight in whether or not lack of ECC is acceptable.
Replicate vs. Fly GPU cold-start latency
Hardly, often drugs treating same condition have different side effects, or different effect on patients. Physicians usually search for the drug that works best on a specific patient. Once you find a drug with the desired effect, it’s usually not a good idea to switch to another with different side effects.
Totally. You have to do you.

I probably expressed that poorly. “Problem” was the wrong word! It’s probably better to say you’re not finding what you want… but do you know what that is?
Anger is a secondary emotion. You need to figure out what you are actually angry about. That was advice that helped me a lot.
People tend to use CI as a synonym for automated build pipeline.
In America maybe. Lets see what the Chinese do with their nuclear rollout before calling it impossible yet.

They might also abandon theirs on account of being able to make solar incredibly cheap domestically, but they also might not, we have to wait and see.
It varies wildly sometimes within the same country like here inside America. I’ve been voting by mail my entire adult life, but a lot of people only really started to do that with the pandemic but it didn’t stick everywhere, nor was it popular everywhere.

Parties used to also choose their own nominees inside private conventions, but now there’s a system of primaries and caucuses that allow a complete outsider to just register with an party and earn the nomination by working outside of the party machinery. In California there’s no guarantee you can even put forward a candidate in every election below the Presidential-level because there’s only two slots in the election that are earned through an open primary, so it’s not uncommon to have two of the same party running against each other.

Show HN - tool that converts image receipts to Excel
Hey I'm excited to share my first project, Receipts2CSV, a web application designed to simplify bookkeeping by converting receipt images into CSV files.

https://receipts2csv.streamlit.app/

Problem Statement: Keeping track of expenses and managing receipts can be a tedious task, especially for small businesses and freelancers. Traditional methods involve manually entering data from receipts into spreadsheets, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. With Receipts2CSV, users can streamline this process by simply uploading images of their receipts and obtaining structured CSV files ready for import into accounting software.

If you are lazy like I am, you could accumulate receipts in just one folder and re-run all images every time, remove duplicates and merge with older CSV to minimize looking through receipts on a monthly/annual basis.

Questions for Validation:

Do you find a receipt image to CSV converter useful? Would you consider using such a tool for your bookkeeping needs?

Considering higher costs for AI models like GPT-4 Vision Preview, how are other indie hackers able to create and sustain offering free products like these?

Do small products like these have a monetization market? If so, where do I begin?

Curious to hear your candid thoughts about this web app. Should I explore it further or move to the next idea?

Feel free to share your thoughts, suggestions, or any additional features you'd like to see in the product!

Thank you for your valuable input and support!
Yes, hence "mistake". (Also I only buy products second hand.)
Mathematicians almost always use log for the natural logarithm (i.e., base e).

I don't see how any toolkit design could be incompatible with this and not sure how color spaces play into that?

Every X11 app is already composited and scaled by compositor and has top-level X window where it could set any property it wishes.

To be clear, it doesn't depend on anything. If SIP is enabled, you cannot run executables on ARM Macs without codesigning (they may be ad hoc signed, sure, but they still need to be signed). The executable will get killed immediately if you don't.

You can avoid gatekeeper problems by clearing the xattrs on the file. If they're internal you can also just distribute over a network share and it's not an issue.
I skip nix-darwin and use just home-manager. Does all I need. Don't really see the point of adding nix-darwin.

The basic model of computation is the turing maching, and it’s a symbol manipulating one. So editing text is at the core of what computing is. You could go a step higher to edit tokens and that’s what VIM does, albeit imperfectly due to tokens not being a finite set.

Yes. Yes, among other things the point of the app is to look good: be fluid, performant, responsive and conform to the platform look and feel and HIGs.

All the things that web apps objectively fail to do.
Nitpicking, but Tauri is still in beta for mobile, Capacitor is the incumbent. But these frameworks solely exist because the mobile OS doesn't provide sufficient access to native APIs. If PWAs would be supported properly, and the standard would evolve, then we wouldn't need Tauri or Capacitor. The web-to-native bridge would be part of the web engine that is installed on the OS.

The reason we allow these native bridges (Capacitor on Mobile, Electron on Desktop) is because they allow you to develop the same app once for all platforms. Without them you would need 3x the resources for each desktop app (Windows, Linux, Desktop) and 2x the resources for each mobile app (Android, iOS). Linux would be dead in the water without Electron. It's the reason we have Spotify, Slack, Discord, VS Code, etc. on Linux.
Philosophy: are we quite sure it's the mushroom growing out of the frog? Reminds me of a joke:

A policeman walks into a doctor's surgery with a pig on his head.

The doctor says "errr... I think I can see the problem".

The pig says "yes, I've got this thing growing on my foot".

Since bullshit is so cheap, why wouldn't everybody run a campaign to undermine everybody else they don't like at the same time? State actors sure have money to do this.
Well yeah, it is. This is an edge case in self-driving cars, same as it could be an edge case for humans.
This one does pervasive damage to software quality though. You get a bug report, it doesn't reproduce easily. The thought is always there: "maybe their hardware had a transient error?". If it did you have no bug to find. That's attractive.

If storage drives reported writes accurately and memory didn't occasionally silently corrupt, software falling over would be more likely to imply an error the developer is empowered to fix.
If your company has any chance of success you will be managing other engineers.

Does anyone know of a low power, mini PC that supports 2 or even 4 SATA SSDs (both connector and physical space wise)?

Most, incl. the Lenovo above, seem to support at best 1x M.2 + 1x SATA.

The best choice I have found is using a N100DC-ITX mainboard with a generic ITX case, and those are huge.

I am looking to replace my Raspi / USB SSDs combination.
Off topic, but does anyone know if Ute tribes share money with each other for big projects like this?

I'm pretty sure this tribe has a casino on their reservation, but I know the one in Utah doesn't, both get money from oil extraction, but I'm not sure if they are totally independent from each other?
Perhaps I misread "Maybe take a walk and get some fresh air?" - no worries though.
MLB was down to just two fields just a few years ago (Tampa Bay and Toronto) but now are back up again to 5. [1]

Turf isn't all the same though. What Toronto had 30 years ago vs what they have now is a world of difference. Texas put in turf for their new stadium a few years ago -- and it has to be the current best practice. Toronto looked at getting 'real grass' and just found out that it wasn't feasible at all. (They did spend $660k CAD to at least investigate it via the University of Guelph)[2]

Grass fields must have tons of variation -- especially as the year goes on or different growing conditions. It would be amazing to have some sort of transparent consistency across fields.

> I just run my editor in each VM

In addition to lag and a poor visual experience as others have mentioned, there's the issue of two (or more) operating systems with two separate shells/UIs. When using VMs or a VDI/remote desktop the cognitive overhead of remembering which OS shell I'm in for the purposes of keyboard shortcuts, clipboard, switching between programs and etc impacts my productivity significantly.

VSCode (or any other editor with similar features) shell is great because it completely separates the editor environment from the dev environment. I can run as many instances of VSCode as I want each with their isolated dev environment of the target host, but all managed by one shell, one window manager and one clipboard.
You can't install a random program. You need to go through the appstore for everything. There is no shared filesystem. Trying to export an image from a photo editing app takes a couple of seconds just to build the list of possible target apps. Everything is not only gratuitously complex, but reminds you you're not in control. You're a guest in Apple's world, instead of Apple being there to serve you.
> I do kind of think people are lying

Of course you do. Your worldview depends on it.

> I'm seeking lasting meaning

I can get that too. We're the arbiters of meaning in our lives.

> earthly desires will more readily be fulfilled, and we will see that we still feel empty

You misunderstand if you believe that the secular perspective on meaning is to reach it through sensualism, by consuming. That is all that AI can more readily fulfill.
