Show HN: I made a free Canny alternative (customer feedback management tool)
Hey HN,

I use Canny to collect customer feedback and build the right features, but…

1. It’s way too complicated for a solo dev
2. $99/month… really?

So I built a free alternative called Insighto:

- Collect feedback from your customers
- Prioritize features
- Build a product users love.

I built other stuff. Here are my 20+ products — marclou.com

— Marc
Fifty? More like fifty thousands.
Great experiment!
I remember even Sam said this, he said something along the lines that if you are just building something that is effectively a missing feature of ChatGPT or one of there products, they are going to end up replacing you, so you need to be building something more significant.
Pressure to resolve issues hastily could lead to suboptimal, band-aid solutions rather than thoughtful, robust fixes that address root causes. The relentless pace may be unsustainable and lead to engineer burnout.

On top of all that, if not managed carefully, the 24-hour guarantee could perversely incentivize customers to classify all requests as "bugs" to get faster service, blurring the line with genuine feature requests.
Make isn't cross-platform, and depends on a ton of external executables.

By all means stay with Make if UNIX is the only target, but then also take care to only use the POSIX subset.
I refuse to consider "X.com" as anything other than a classic 1994 game of defending Earth against extraterrestrials.

No they're not, Lehman Brothers is gone and Fannie Mae got nationalized. AIG did survive though.
External high capacity spinning rust are definitely not dead, unless money is no object for you to go all SSDs. Don't forget SSDs went up in price recently. Last year you could buy a 4TB Samsung SATA SSD for the price of these 6TB HDDs, but since then it has doubled in price due to a reduction in supply across the entire NAND manufacturing industry, making large HDDs like these price competitive again, which is probably why WD launched them now.

Yeah it's slow but you're not meant to boot and run apps off these, just to hoard your Nextcloud, backups, holiday photos and "legitimately obtained" music and movies in a form factor that can be easily picked up and taken on the go, instead of tied to a desk with an external power brick like the 3.5 inch ones or NASs.

Granted I might be in a bubble and the market for affordable compact portable high capacity external HDDs might be a low demand niche at this point, but I personally will pick one up when it becomes available since it fits my budget and personal use case perfectly.
Enshittification is not a necessary consequence for a sustainable business. But I think social media platforms are susceptible to forces that pull beyond that.
If you're only looking for file serving and nothing cpu intensive, then the ancient Generation 7 HP Microservers are dirt cheap and hold 4x 3.5" drives.

Random Ebay example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/285860481238 (I don't know that seller at all)

The cpus in that generation of microserver are utter crap though, so don't expect Plex, streaming/transcoding or similar on them.

---

The Generation 8 release of HP Microservers are much more capable cpu wise, as the cpu is socketed and can be upgraded to 4 core / 8 thread models (eg E3-1265L v2).

They're still fairly cheap on Ebay too.

Random example from Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364891465755 (I don't know that seller either)
Yes, indeed. But there are still parts of Germany where you should not pick wild mushrooms because of Chernobyl. And the whole Asse II we still have to fix.

Which is a bit more tangable.
Fr. Its so wierd for me when people get super mad about graffiti like they own any of these walls and could choose what was on them. If the graffiti wasn't there it would just be an ad, but I guess we're okay with that because consumerism is good because the our overlords tell us to like it.

I don't have sources off the top of my head, but I think there is good evidence that wind farms (and other large structures!) can disrupt migration routes, which can pose very large challenges for birds.

So where to put wind farms to minimise disruption is a definite consideration.

EDIT: quick google to find some sources:

Under normal circumstances I would agree with you. But is DB and they really need to go all hands on deck and fix their reliability problem.
I used to love doodling and drawing, but as soon as I start to write my hand cramps up. I take hand written (short notes) for work and I struggle to read them a month or so later when the context is gone.
I also really struggle to spell, and will consistently get common words wrong.

BUT on a keyboard I can type almost as fast as I can think - and I can also spell 90% better - I don't know how it happens but it is like the words 'flow' out of my fingers when i type - and I can easily spell words that if you asked me how to spell I wouldn't have a clue. Also if you asked me to find you a key on a keyboard I'd have to look - but when I'm typing my fingers just know where they are.

I'm a 44 yo successful man, but I still don't know my alphabet well (for example I couldn't start in the middle or recite it backwards) - but put me in front of a keyboard and I can type all day long (note - I am VERY thankful for spellcheck though!)

The text of Straight Dope answers appeared in print and on Usenet and is copyright to the date of writing | first publication.

The existing text archives would have been ported forward with their original copyright dates some time post 1989 (when Tim Berners-Lee created his WWW specification) likely at least three or four years on as the practice had to spread outside of CERN, outside of the physics community, and early Mosaic browsers to become popular.
It depends on if your definition of "Europe" is purely geographic or it has a political dimension (EU vs not). In the context of building safety regulation and the UK's laxness at that, the political interpretation is definitely valid.

"Geography" would be more valid if this was about rock formations or trade routes.

If someone says "when it comes to building codes, the UK is no longer in Europe", then everyone knows exactly what is meant. Performative misunderstanding isn't helpful.
I suspect we’ll be seeing a lot more of this stuff, but DeviantArt has been a difficult place to navigate, for some time.

A number of years ago, someone posted an outstanding wireframe that I wanted to license. I was willing to pay quite well. I had just started a company, and the wireframe would have been quite useful in branding. I probably would have contracted the artist to do the rendering, as well.

I found it pretty much impossible to initiate contact with the artist. I think I got through, but I have no idea if I was successful, as they never got back to me.

Agreed. There's also another aspect at play: to build knowledge one step at a time with this learn-by-doing approach, you have to get learners to write code that's not perfectly idiomatic along the way. You then correct and refine those first drafts as you progress along.

In the case of setters, we get rid of them at the end of that chapter by using the newtype pattern thus guaranteeing that field invariants can't be broken even if you can access them directly.
-oid means "like but not actually". Humanoid = like a human but not. Typhoid = like typhus but not. Factoid = like a fact but not (ie. it's not true).
They definitely have a very hyper-capitalist definition of violence. It's sort of pathetic how much people somehow care about the property of the ruling classes that they will never own.
I wonder what an affordable modern wristwatch would be.

I looked at the stores in my country and it was all either smart watches/wristbands, or ones that look like they scream "sports". Nothing wrong with that aesthetic per se, but I'd very much like something neutral looking.

A quick search even on AliExpress turns up something like what I'm looking for https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005201883255.html (might have actually gotten one, but at the same time I have exactly 0 expectations for the quality, more like an odd curiosity), yet there's nothing with similar designs sold in the popular marketplaces in my country.

Where's the simple, reasonably reliable and affordable watches for the modern day working person, not someone who wants to pay bank to make a fashion statement?

I know tankies and I know white nationalists, do they count? I don't approve of their political beliefs in either case but I can get along with them, as in coexist with them in a workplace or hobby space, if they behave better than they believe (most seem to, their beliefs are mostly hot air and the way they actually treat people is more egalitarian than they might care to admit themselves.)
While I find this specific beautiful, retouched and over-saturated picture beautiful. I'm pretty sure it would look much better without the graffiti, trash and huge puddle in front of it.
Construction in the USA is driven by capitalism. From my own observations, a big part of why we build less in recent times is the real estate market crash in 2008. We're still feeling the effects.

The construction companies (and capital) that survived the crash of 2008 were a lot more cautious. They hired and built less through the 2010's as the market recovered. More people got college degrees instead of learning construction trades. When the pandemic hit, and there was something of a boom in construction, I think they finally shook off the fear. Now, a few years later, the market is beginning to slump again due to high interest rates and general inflation.
By any chance can you elaborate on a bit of what are these unsound methods are, what's the current state-of-the-art? And what antithesis does? (Is it a fuzzer?)

4chan has censorship and extensive and active moderation but the levels for what is acceptable are lower than most other sites. Unlike Reddit, moderators are hidden there's no way to know if a user is a mod or not. I like this way of removing ego and moderator abuse but this makes the place seem more chaotic, unaccountable and lawless.

In theory it's possible to have the same kind of site with the regular family friendly content and with strict (i.e. normal) levels of moderation. In practice we don't see this.

I think it's because the levels of active moderation by humans needs to be high. So 4chan can get away with less spent on moderation because their levels are lower.

I wish normal housing were more affordable instead.

Also, low-income housing sort of sucks. For example, in my area, some low-income apartments were recently constructed, but they do not have washer and dryer receptacles. It's not that they aren't included. You cannot even bring your own, because you won't have anything to hook them up to. Apparently, you are supposed to use the laundromat only.

But now that people with low income can live there, suddenly my complex no longer has to worry about those people, because the availability of the low-income apartments reduces the amount of people who would even consider living here. Suddenly, you're not losing potential customers by raising the price, because all the customers that you would have been losing are now all living in the low-income apartments instead.

That hurts people like me who have a higher standard of living (such as owning a washer and dryer) but still don't exactly make enough money to justify spending $2,000 a month for a two-bedroom apartment (ours is currently around $1,800). I suppose I'm the customer they'd be losing by raising the price, but the risk to them is probably still far lower now.
A lot of social media platforms lose money because they decide they want to grow above and beyond, even after being well established. Same thing for other software products that are perfectly fine, even loved.
This! I can’t accept forgiving murder. I don’t know Texas much but it now is a place where a racist kills a person and gets out of jail forgiven. From a moral point of view I don’t know how the governor and its constituents can look themselves in the mirror. Murder is murder.
Super interesting, thanks! I'll have to keep thinking about it.
As mentioned in another comment there are also numerous other issues missing relative to the canonical experiment. Three big ones:

- The whole point of the name, "the imitation game", is to imitate a specific identity. The more precise an identity is, the more difficult it would be for an imposter to imitate it. Turing chose male vs female, but modern choices have generalized it down to 'human or not' which is of course vastly easier to imitate than a more specific choice.

- Participants are expected to collaborate with the interrogator, break the 4th wall, and do everything possible to make it clear to the interrogator that they are the real person. Modern variants generally have participants acting adversarially and actively, and intentionally, giving responses that would be difficult to distinguish from those of a bot.

- The interrogator is expected to intelligently interrogate. For example one [intentionally] naive idea Turing gave was that an interrogator might ask the person to perform some mathematical calculation. If the person even tries to answer 37167361 * 372 (let alone succeeds in a short time frame), then they are probably not human. Of course the bot could be programmed to respond accordingly, but it's the point of actively and intelligently trying to break the bot and have it reveal itself. Contemporary interrogators typically ask the participants random and inane questions like "Where are you from?" which is a complete and absolute waste of time, unless part of some more precise plan - but it never is.

To my knowledge there have been no Turing Tests carried out with anything even vaguely resembling the rigor and purpose of the original test, but I think that's largely because the goal seems to be to create a test that can be passed, rather than actually evaluate the capabilities of the various LLMs.

That implies that there was a party available that would ban billboards. There isn't, so graffiti is a way of actually taking back agency over our public spaces by underrepresented counterculture. Deal with it.

UI only reacts to the responses from backend. Of course it has some amount of logic not to show things user doesn't have permission to do anyway.

Regarding the error handling, just return response and show the error. For example if trying to load a dashboard and you get a 403, just display an error.

Is not relative at all to rational people.

Let me just put it this way, do I get to just move into your home and take it over simply because I believe that I can make it a better home than you can? Do I get to steal your car/property because I believe I can make better use of it?

Stop rationalizing narcissistic behavior and people trying to impose themselves on others. It’s not relative at all. You or the narcissistic graffiti vandals have no right to impose themselves on others.

Maybe a bit of Redis for sessions and caching.
One suggestion I always have is take holidays in the target country and if possible send the child to a host family there (can use organisations like en famille). You don’t need a long immersion to learn the language at that age. I learned Spanish by staying 3 months in a host family (and going to school) when I was 12. A friend of mine did the same at 8. That initial short immersion combined with medias and occasional travel helps a lot and is more fun than classes would be.

don't even know why they need to get that far. we already know the younger dryas was a time period of extreme climate swings and natural disasters with purely natural causes. a civilization existing before that time could have been advanced without needing to have achieved nuclear. plus its pretty trivial to prove that no prexisting civilization made it to the fossil fuel era. never-mind NUCLEAR age.
To me the No. 1 reason HN is successful is that it doesn’t have to monetise its users.

This leads to much stronger alignment of incentives between users and the owners of the platform.

That’s not to say it’s not valuable to YC. It provides them with very good marketing to a core demographic they are trying to market to.

Kinda like sports teams run by petro states.

For social media platforms it means that HN’s existence isn’t driven by the need to grow [1], leading to a focus on quality. Hackernews does this using the HN guidelines, which are rigorously enforced.

It does, potentially (though I don't disagree that most people would misinterpret it).

If it's a company, you can just be like: "Hey, we use this platform for communication, you can log in with your Active Directory credentials."

It also has the added benefit of acting as a directory for every employee in the company, so getting in touch can be more convenient than e-mail (while you can also customize the notification preferences, so it doesn't get too spammy), as opposed to the situation which might develop, where some teams or org units are on Slack, others on Teams and getting in touch can be more messy.

If it's a free-form social group, then you can throw that idea away because of network effects, it'd be an uphill battle, same as how sometimes people complain about people using Discord for various communities, but at the same time the reality is that old school forums and such were also killed off - since most people already have a Discord account and there's less friction to just use that.

Either way, I'm happy that self-hosted software like that exists.
