I hate everything related to marketing, especially and very much the modern form of influencer marketing that's all about interacting with people on social media, posting on profiles, posting comments, replying to them, sending messages, etc. It feels so fake it physically hurts. Worse yet if it includes a blogspam with "a list of top 3 tools in the sector, of course ours is the best" - such a waste of internet bandwidth. Every time I see a guy doing that on LinkedIn promoting something I get a gagging reaction and angrily close the page. If it involves an Instagram profile I run away as fast as I can, I just can't stand the people there. My Facebook profile had last update in 2014 when I uploaded a bunch of photos from a vacation with friends and no further comments, and that's just about enough for me.

I am adequate at sales but still, I hate cold calling and cold emailing - and I have weeks, sometimes months when I just can't bring myself to talk to the prospects even if it's not a cold outreach. And lastly, it's really is a full time job that needs focus and is a source of constant interruption if I'm also trying to develop some software at the same time. It doesn't go together well.

Let me just take care of the computers, that's where I shine.

That is exactly the reason - Arch Linux ARM maintainers just didn't support it properly (https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/109971521711413167). But Davide Cavalca and Neal Gompa of the Fedora project did.

And as an early Asahi user who remembers when it was based on Arch (https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/fedora-asahi-remix/), I can tell you the move to Fedora has been amazing on all fronts. Bottom line: If you want to run Linux natively on your Apple Silicon Mac, Fedora Asahi Remix has you covered.
> I have such negative associations with fedora

May I ask why? Just curios. What did Fedora do? I use Ubuntu and Debians but I hear good things about Fedora, updated regularly, lots of modern packages, people I know like it, etc.
The reasoning provided by YC is in the subsequent tweet: "It's pretty rare for YC to fund solo founders, because startups take many years to get big and it's very hard to stay motivated for that many years without a cofounder helping."

YC has been reticent to fund solo founders since its inception.

> Really?! Is Slack — a glorified web browser — what people trying to run Linux on Apple hardware are looking for? Personally, I'm happy running Slack in Firefox.

This kind of gatekeeping is one of many things that keeps me away from the desktop Linux community these days.

Having Slack as a separate desktop app that I can launch quickly and alt-tab to separately is important to me. The standalone app is better at keyboard shortcuts and multiple workspaces, which is also important to me.

If I can’t even use a common communication app, a distro is a non-starter for real work. It’s great that they’ve made so much progress, but every time someone tries to discuss the actual limitations it’s tiresome to hear people jump out and try to shame people for expecting common things to work.

Two people already form a 'company' and the hard part of convincing somebody else of your idea has already been accomplished. You can argue growing from 1 person to 2 is the most critical part of company growth. With 2+ cofounders this critical part is already figured out making it much less risky proposition than a single founder who hasn't convinced anybody else to join them yet.

> Browser integration is a required feature for a modern password manager; without it, you don't have a password manager, you have an encrypted notepad.

Not really? I've been using KeePassXC without a browser extension for a while, probably not years but certainly many months. That doesn't make it any less of a password manager - it lets me generate random strings to use for each account, keeps them safe and encrypted, and also lets me enable TOTP for an unlimited number of accounts. That's pretty much a password manager to me (TOTP is extra but much appreciated).

Fall into a Black Hole with This New NASA Simulation
I live in (barely) rural part of Texas. There's a Dollar General I could walk to if I needed. But the nearest full size grocery store is 15 minutes away by car -- doing 60mph for most of the way. It'd be a 5 or 6 hour round-trip to walk -- maybe 2 hours to get there, maybe 15 minutes to shop, and 3 hours to walk back laden with groceries.

Without the large volume that a vehicle could carry, that walk would need to occur quite often. With a car, I just stock up groceries about once every 4-6 weeks and it all fits in my trunk.
While I make good money, I came from a very humble start, and eating/ordering out has gotten downright absurd to do so now out of principal. The prices are simply outrageous for what you get, the service has gotten typically worse with quality of people, and the food is generally subpar, particularly with increase costs. Every where I go, it's the same disappointment, and I've had enough to minimize restaurant spend.

The entire restaurant industry is in a tailspin, and driving away consumers is just adding dirt to their grave. I just feel sorry for the people that committed themselves to the industry that are having the carpet pulled out from underneath them.

I'm rather new to the concept of objects and morphisms myself, but I love how fields like category theory allow one to "zoom out" far enough in abstraction that two seemingly different concepts are actually the same applied to distinct contexts.
This looks nice, but a couple of things

> curl http://public.server.address:8080/register_device?key=e83253...

> The service will return a fully templated response

It looks like the "registration" involves the server generating a private key then sending to the client, rather than the client generating a private key and sending the public key to the server.

Not only that but your example is http! Probably worth replacing that part at least in case people think http is a reasonable option.

> To authenticate the user should browse to the servers vpn address, in the example, case 192.168.1.1:8080, where they will be prompted for their 2fa code.

So when the session times out, is there any way for the client to realise this? Or does their ssh session (or whatever) just stop working?

I've on and off looked for a wireguard client which can do something like the captive portal detection on wifi. Ideally it would be an extra line in the config file (like persistentkeepalive), which does a URL pull. Could be checked periodically (like with the keepalive). If it returns "OK", then fine, if it doesn't return then there's a network problem, but if it returns a "Location" header, the client would pop up a browser at that location, allowing for session reauthentication or whatever.

I haven't found one.
How about lessons learned from other reactive notebook environments that have been around for a while? If you are 'reinventing' something, I wonder why no mentions are made of the paths that have been laid before (Observable, Quarto, Enso, etc.).
You protect domestic car manufacturers by forcing them to compete with a decent product. Banning foreign products, which is what this effectively does, just makes the domestic products worse as they face less competition.

Apart from telegram not having any kind of actually used E2E Encryption, they store everything, which means the cost of running their service is crazy high compared to something like whatsapp which AFAIK only stores stuff up to 3 months when the device isn't online.

So we have an app which has access to everything you send, and has incredibly high hosting costs with no real income, you put 1 and 1 together and you can see it for yourself.

Ironically they claim cloud storage as the reason for not having E2E, yet matrix seems to be able to do just that.
Best for what, and for whom? Just saying “Best Distro” feels like an extraordinary claim.

To give two examples of where it might not be best — running Fedora on a server, or running Fedora on a workstation where you need long-term stability and support for running CAD/CAM or CFD software which doesn’t play nicely with major OS changes every few months.
Derivative of a binary number:

Think of any binary number as a sequence of 0s and 1s in a certain order

For example, 16 in binary is the sequence: 1000

Reading the sequence from right to left, two bits at a time, for each one of those two bits, we can note if the value of the “earlier” bit in the sequence changed

I can note a change as 1 and a not change as 0, then the above sequence becomes:

0 (0-0 no change)
0 (0-0 no change)
1 (0-1 changed)

Result: 100

In decimal: 8

Now if I want to “integrate” that sequence, I can do the reverse, but now I have ambiguity, if I start with 0, the sequence would be the original:

0
0 (0 means no change)
0 (0 means no change)
1 (1 change)

Result: 1000

But if we start with 1 instead:

1
1 (0 no change)
1 (0 no change)
0 (1 change)

Result: 0111

Intuitively you can think of this as tracking a “discrete rate of change”

Usually the derivative or slope of a function gives a real value, now imagine “zooming into” the function until you can’t track a real value anymore, only whether what you are looking at is changing or not every time you look
Right! Although everything was turned to enormous proportions, she did f* up in the first place.
How well does this work in practice? I am skeptical about the power of static analysis with a language like Python. Many times, the hidden state in Jupyter lives in another module, or somewhere deep in an object hierarchy.

If you’re going to reinvent the Python notebook for reproducibility, I wonder why not go further, and fully snapshot the program state?

I really want this to work, because hidden state in Jupyter notebooks bites me frequently, but the post and website haven’t convinced me this is a robust approach - maybe I’m missing something?
Let us know the results please

Well yeah, as I mentioned if it were convenient to use solar for engines people would have done so. My whole point is that we had the technology and didn't do it because it's fundamentally not viable, not because of semiconductor technology.

While op was a little exaggerating with service revenues, his points still stand. The thing is Apple is not selling you a computer but an ecosystem. Their products are all meant to work together and this is only possible with their software.

Running macOS as your daily driver makes buying an iPhone a very easy choice. It’s hundreds of little things like using your iPhone camera as a scanner from Finder on your Mac to scan a paper to the current folder, unified clipboard, using your Apple Watch to lock your screen when you leave your computer, having your AirPods automagically switch from iPhone to Mac when you start a video and instantly switch back to your phone and pause your video when you answer a call … and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Apple software is made to make you buy other Apple hardware so running Linux is pretty much not interesting for them. I’m positively surprised it’s even possible.

Services are only the cherry on the cake, you subscribe to them when you are already tied to the ecosystem because they became pretty obvious. And Apple is smart enough to not force them down your throat like Microsoft.

So yeah, it’s really important for Apple to keep you on their software if they want to sell you more hardware.

Assuming your comment is serious (rather than some quip), I think what we're seeing is differing visions for HN.

One group (me included) enjoys some levity, as long as it's high quality and doesn't get in the way of substantial discussions.

Another group would prefer that HN avoids that entirely.

It mostly seems like a matter of taste / preference, so I'm not sure how we can come to one kind on this, shy of seeing the pro-humour approach clearly hurting the site.
Agreed, but: The words “are allowed to be” are doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Who allows these beliefs to be mainstream? Does anybody have the power to not allow it? The thing, is, we cannot get rid of those beliefs by force – and arguably, we should not even if we could – so where does that leave us? Reason does not seem to help. It is hard to avoid a feeling of despair. But we cannot allow ourselves the luxury.

Arcticans Aurora Forecast App, your best buddy for hunting Aurora Borealis
While the photos of the auroras which have been circulating are certainly impressive, this has got me thinking about the Carrington Event [1], as well as a possible future event of equal or greater magnitude.

I'm not an electronics expert, but I'm guessing that the reason we're so vulnerable to such an event today is because our infrastructure was originally built without such an event in mind, and now the upgrade cost is prohibitively expensive. But hypothetically, if a sufficiently-damaging coronal mass ejection occurred, such that we were forced to rebuild Earth's electronics infrastructure and electrical grids from scratch, what design changes would we make the 2nd time around? For example:

-adding built-in shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference

-implementing redundancy in critical systems to maintain functionality

-adding early warning systems so that we can take preventative measures like shutting down vulnerable systems

-building a more decentralized electrical grid with smaller, interconnected systems to limit the extent of disruptions

Would taking these steps be sufficient to protect us from major CMEs, or would it be like throwing pebbles at a giant?

AFAIK, whatsapp is still dependent on your mobile being the primary source. It has "link a device" feature, which has some of the features but cannot be used as an independent client. For example if you're using the web version and want to see some old chats, you can't unless you use it from your mobile. WhatsApp's encryption keys are tied to the device, not the account. In Matrix, encryption keys are tied to the user's account, not the device, and thus it wont be an issue.
Still some cropping and way too much DNR, but not as bad as the 1080p BDs indeed. Some people recommend it over the HDTV source (which was a bitstarved WMV3 encode) for its better handling of action sequences (i.e. without horrible macroblocking).

I definitely need to read the decision. I'm guessing BrightData didn't need to create an account to access the data or else Alsup's decision here would go against the Supreme Court's precedent for hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn ... but I'm curious if it intersects with that.

Edit: This does not intersect with hiQ Labs v LinkedIn. From the decision itself:

> It bears emphasis that this action deals only with scraping data that X Corp. has made publicly available. X Corp. does not allege or in any way suggest that the data scraped was solely accessible to X users logged in to registered accounts or was otherwise password-protected. Rather, it points to materials advertising “techniques to scrape, structure, and analyze public web data” and “[t]ap into . . . public accounts,” as well as tools used to “gather
vast amounts of public web data” (Amd. Compl. ¶¶ 45, 50, 64). X Corp. “employs rate limits that cap the number of posts that may be viewed by registered users and those who access the platform without an account,” but that does not render public posts any less public (Amd.
Compl. ¶ 37). Nor do the other “industry standard automation prevention techniques” that X Corp. implements, such as CAPTCHAs and anomaly detection tools (Amd. Compl. ¶ 35).
I actually doubt it. The strategy for building and releasing a successful screen recorder app or affiliate system (two of OP's businesses) is dramatically different from the strategy for launching a unicorn, starting with the problem you decide to solve.

When you're trying to launch a small success you pick a niche that is small enough that no one is competing there yet, then build for it while keeping your costs as low as possible. There's basically zero chance of that turning into a unicorn because you picked the wrong market and aren't investing enough money in it, but there's a relatively high chance that you'll get enough customers for a modest exit or lifestyle business.

A startup with a chance at becoming a unicorn needs to pick a market that is big enough to support a unicorn, which are exactly the markets to avoid if you're trying to start a small success. Then you have to execute completely differently, spending tons of money long before profit materializes in the hope that you'll build something awesome before you run out. If you try to take it slowly and are in a good market you'll be passed up by someone who ran.

> you can mistake it for the expiration date

You can't. There is either one date, and then it's the production date (because it's required), or there are two dates, right next to each other, in which case the later one is the expiration date, and so the shelf life is written somewhere else on the packaging.

For instance. Packaged juice has 1 year shelf life. Pasta has it in the range from 1 to 2 years. Sausages have 1 to 3 months, depending on the exact kind. Some sweet milk deserts have one week. Is this just a fancy fact, or does it give you a hint that if something can survive for 2 years, it may as well be good for 2 years and 2 months while something that has shelf-life of a week probably won't survive for 2 weeks? I think it's the latter, but YMMV of course.
