I used to build in public (Candy Japan), and now don't.

Good things. It does bring customers directly. At least for blogging, building in public posts can get some backlinks, which is great for SEO. For some time I had the #1 result for my top search term. That might make it worth it overall.

Negative things. It motivates others to clone your project, as now people know that $X/month can be made doing that. Almost no-one will, but if your posts are seen by say 100k+ people then you'll have a few in there who might.

It warps your own thinking, as now you have a bunch of people on social media who see your project as your identity. You start buying into the narrative of being this X
project guy so you can't just go away to do Y, even if on a rational level you know no-one actually cares that much whether you do X or Y.

Seems @levelsio has been immune to this, as he's been smart to have his identity be a guy who ships a variety of things quickly vs. just being say the "Nomadlist Guy" forever.
I don't know that we do that. For instance, physicists are able to describe motion in physical terms and don't insist that it literally is a vector. It only happens with quantum fields.
Not sure about the exponential part. Sure the maintenance is different, but with a bicycle it has to happen more often, and the parts aren’t as cheap as one might expect. It’s cheaper, but it has to be balanced with the limited utility of the bicycle.
I think you got blocked by an anti-scraper. I put in reddit.com and only got one image back.
In the city center of Vienna rent for my three room apartment is 600 bucks. When I used to live in the U.S. I earned more for sure, but the quality of life and cost of living was such crap in comparison that it could never make it worth it.

I don't really mind that I earn less here.
This does not exactly solve the concern of executing random code from online, but FWIW the decoded base64 blob is easy to vet as a trivial HTML page.
I took computer architecture in the mid-late-90s and branch hints were talked about as a thing that was being done.
Yeah, that's how I remember it.

The hype was basically "Morrowind but better in every single way" - better combat, deeper lore, complex character interactions, and more advanced graphics.

I got it day 1, and within about 2 days I gave up on it and sold it back. It was so much less than advertised I was immensely disappointed. I'm sure there was something good there if you went in with no expectations, but its easily the biggest gaming letdown I've experienced.
Funny nobody is asking why a flagship gets bricked in the first place. Also, the author probably doesn't understand the meaning of brick. Bricked means bricked. Dead beyond recovery without doing some extraordinary stuff.
The first heading is "The portable companion to the Linear system" so clearly this page is not intended to be an introduction to Linear itself. Perhaps try the homepage instead.

idk what other quirks you've got but this one turned out to be an adhd symptom for me lol

Coffee actually works on me now I'm on stimulant medication haha
I'm ambivalent. Especially in my domain of games where sharing the financial breakdown can indeed help those "wrong" kind of people realize how little money there is in non-AAA games once all the cuts come in.

So instead they make up shaky heuristics, see reviews and wishlists and must think "wow that game made a lot of money"... missing important context on how much was spent on labor/profit splits, or the area the team is in. Which muddies discussion on what a "successful" game even is (a topic already muddy even with all context).

BUT, then again the tides have shifted so much in that people just take a "should have" approach. "you shouldn't have done it in X genre. You shouldn't have used Y software. Your game sucks so it obviously failed". So maybe bringing up any finances will always attract that crowd, not cause them to look into another place to make money.
I was never a fan of big phones. I don't think I'll upgrade my phone until another mini gets released. Happy to hold on to my iPhone 13 mini for as long as I can.
Driver pay gets adjusted this way too. Lyft and Uber. No tolls, traffic jams (at least) can cause this.
I use Cloudflare Pages, and having heard these sorts of stories from HN and other places, I did spend some time exploring the settings to ensure the largest number of people could access the site. My impression was that the default settings were pretty much the loosest options around. In particular, for Tor, I would have needed to manually enable to block (it's off by default), and even then, Cloudflare automatically generates a magnet link for each site they host, and allow Tor browser users to automatically redirect to those magnet links.

I agree that it's a bit opaque, but I think that comes with the territory. If Cloudflare could tell you exactly which groups were getting blocked, then DDOS protection wouldn't be so big a problem in the first place - you just select all the bad actors and block them, and you're fine.
Please do not turn your own equipment into unqualified advice. Ollama runs great with a 4070 Super, and very likely also with a 4060.
This is probably misguided. Apple includes the OS version number in the user agent, so an attacker can actually pay to have code delivered only to users with vulnerable versions of MacOS. (advertising marketplaces allow bidding by user agent)
That was more of a trip on the underground thing
Emission zone shouldnt be the issue, it is about the amount of cars and road safety for every user.
Check e.g. the Dutch road design, where many kids ride bikes.
This is already for decades, and has nothing to do with emission zones.
But another road design can also help reducing emissions.
It is about how many people can travel safe, and with big cities, you have to reduce cars to increase the amount of people that can travel safe, like bikes, walking, and public transport.
Road and city design is very important for a livable city.
You know, I think that has. I remember this happening, but the recent years I’ve been into London on occasion, this doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore.
700 is great, I see spikes up to 5000 in one of our rooms.
I had a very similar issue some time back that was caused by LSP.

Long story short I had multiple long running LSPs (fragmented projects) in Emacs that would open many handlers and keep them open. At some point same error started happening and I thought only restart could resolve it.

But then I was at the hotel where merely switching network made this issue to appear (I suppose binding was somewhat related to and switch made pool exhaust pool quicker) so I decided to debug it.

It turned out that restarting Emacs was enough to close file handlers and resume operations.
A terrible way to jump into colocating your own stuff
I agreed with the title. But the article is talking about something else than I expected.

These services aren't parasites. Theory of the firm, spontaneous organization, systems tend to the lowest energy state, all that, things settled into the current arrangement because it is superior than the previous arrangement. These companies built things that connect people who create more often than they consume with people who consume more often than they create, and they middleman it, make it easier for everyone around to get what they want and take their worth.

They're beginning to deliberately become monopolies, control access to distribution, this is parasitic in some sense, but it is sub optimal and eventually ripe for disruption.

What I thought he was talking about was how people these days seem to always be looking for a way to get one over on someone else. It seems there's a culture of "the only way to get ahead is at someone else's expense" and most business models are about where to find that someone and how to swindle him. I went to a consultation with a surgeon to see if an old surgery was still in good shape, his only motivation was to try to find a way to get me to agree to another surgery regardless if I needed it. I talked to my friend who is in the medical industry and he said "of course he's trying to sell surgery, hes a surgeon." It's a given that people will try to swindle you, even if that means butchering your body. That's what I think when I hear the term "parasite culture."
Some people just don't like the overall crudening of society. Get over it.
Very cool until I downloaded the graph, went back to the main page, and Firefox Mobile crashed.
Steam has supported native Linux games for a decade.
Yes, except the driver will never have his child in a car seat in the front apologetically. And the passenger will pay in excess, but to the stock market and not the driver.
on insurance, the number is $400/session.
off insurance, the number is $1200/session.

I can think of a lot better things to spend $14k a year on.
POSIX compliance totally matters for interactive use, too, if POSIX is what you know.

That's like saying English only matters if you're revising some existing paper written in English, but if you're writing something new or conversing with somebody face to face, then English doesn't matter at all.

Sure unless English is your most proficient or perhaps only language.

The GNU project didn't have to implement Unix compatible utilities. They were starting with a blank slate and could have implemented anything. Why did they choose the compatible route? Because it matters.
People were able to replace proprietary Unix programs with GNU programs without disrupting their workflows or having to learn anything (unless they were curious about GNU extensions).
The problem is price fixing, right? Milk, really?
that's also just how you make friends. An increasingly hard aspect in western society these days as third places decrease. Yeah, you need to do something to attract attention, especially in a digital domain where all you are are a handle and maybe an avatar. building a community means more of a like-minded pool to potentially become friends with.

I'd kill for some local meetup spot to have already done all this for me, but this is the next best approach.
Right.

People do not seem to realize that the goal of any public company is not to create great products, but to make shareholders happy/rich. To the point that management can get into legal trouble if they make decisions with any other goal in mind.
The MacBook keyboard is atrocious. I always mess up the passwords a bunch of times.
I've noticed the effectiveness for bringing in customers taper-off over the years.

I still build in public (https://maxrozen.com/articles?q=diaries), but spend more of my time on traditional marketing efforts instead.
Probably need to try a smaller model :P

When the article says that researchers are using their laptops those researchers are either using very small models on a gaming laptop or they have a fairly modern MacBook with a lot of ram.

There are also options for running open LLMs in the cloud. Groq (not to be confused with Grok) runs Llama, Mixtral and Gemma models really cheaply: https://groq.com/pricing/
I was talking more about wireline networking there, which are all rife with silicon errata and fairly shoddy drivers (which is sadly the norm in the industry). Most of the damage is mitigated in i.e. upstream Linux but it's not pretty and if you are doing datacenter networking you are much better off with Mellanox(nvidia) or Chelsio (a small but mighty player with interesting capabilities) who have good chips and good drivers.

On the 802.11 wireless front, intel maintains a marked advantage in having inbox drivers in Linux by the time you need them. I would take an ath11k/ath12k over equivalent Intel parts but Qualcomm's driver upstreaming process takes way too long while Intel tends to integrate before the products are generally available.
The user agent is defined by the browser.

And it only contains: Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7 irrespective of what Mac you are using.
2FA support. Gmail requires 2FA.
Well they _might_. But not at full "retail" AWS bandwidth costs. They are very open to negotiation once you get anywhere near a million bucks a month in spending.

But yeah, they'd have to be discounting very very seriously for you to not take your 600PB/year elsewhere.
all valve games are linux native, as are lots of steam releases
Bullshit. Your comment was designed to be negative and dismissive. I like the tool. I don't mind paying people for their good work. I thought maybe other people on the site would enjoy it as well. No need to be a dick in response. Seriously, comments like these harm HN as a whole and make me wonder why I even bother.
True, most indie hacker apps serve the needs or curiosity of other indie hackers or tech-curious people (think PhotoAI, SaaS boilerplates, etc.). The unwillingness of their creators to scale the business by hiring more developers and shipping additional features—making the apps B2B-worthy, for example—means these apps often remain within that niche. However, when you're already making millions per year, like Levels.io, you might decide that's enough. This is especially true since indie hacking often embraces an ethos opposed to strategies like VC funding or building large teams, which typically drive scaling.

Some indie hacker projects do scale into successful bootstrapped businesses with teams of developers or receive VC funding, but that is the exception. Scaling requires the founder to have a larger vision beyond just making quick bucks and remaining independent—independence being a core motivation of indie hacking in the first place.

But most unfortunate for Numbers. We have 4 fingers, making binary capabilities, now if we had 60 fingers... then it would be a different story. With 5 fingers on each hand, and two hands, that is the product of two primes, and with 7 fingers on 3 hands, also the product of two primes... You have something to look forward to in Genetic Engineering 2077. Eight fingers on 4 hands? Personally, my fingers count only to 1023, and have for decades.

The article points out specific use of specific techniques to probe cache and other efficiencies, which is valuable.
Thank you for the answer.

If you want some inspiration for the toggle: have you ever seen the Firefox uBlock Origin plugin UI? They basically have a giant on/off button, which I think is a rather good solution.

Interesting approach for the difficulty evaluation, and rather pragmatic. If you happen to have some write-up for the grammar heuristics or more detailed sources, I'd be interested :)

Definitely didn't realize I had to set difficulty manually (but maybe I'm just blind). Would be interesting to see if there's any smart way of auto-evaluating progress...maybe something like occasionally asking how difficult a sentence that the user hovers was or even just passive signals such as whether sentences are hovered. Just because if difficulty would be evaluated by the software, you'd both have a non-subjective measurement of your progress and you truly just could have this on in the background, never thinking about it, and still always learn.

Just some random thoughts; in any case good luck with this!

Wouldn't it make more sense then to compile existing languages to a Lisp? From what you said, it sounds like the goal of Lisp making generation of machine code faster/easier? Or is it that forcing programmers to encode there intent into a Lisp removes guessing and optimization overhead for the compiler?
Frontenders or marketers writing micro SaaS thinking that they are building the next Salesforce. Mostly lead gen and other sales support apps.
I've only done the three wheeled one, and that is a never again. It's like training wheels. You can't lean in a turn. Besides that, the steering was weird because there wasn't an axle, instead the entire middle of the frame was articulated.

That thing was a slightly faster and more ergonomic wheelbarrow, not a bike.
I personally really like Linear or Airtable. But most of the time it's not up to me anyway.

If you can win any concessions over overbearing dogmatic Agile, that's already a pretty big victory, IMO. The tooling is secondary if you like your team and managers and work can proceed without anyone getting frustrated or too annoyed. It's a cultural thing.

I'm not a huge fan of Basecamp, but it's not the worst either, and it makes the rest of the team happy. That makes me enjoy working with them, and it all works out in the end with very little stress or panicking.

My last job had some sort of half-configured, mostly broken Jira put together by some powerful being who's long since left this plane of existence, abandoning his creation to his unloved mortal children. No one really knew why the columns had the particular workflow limitations they did, what our points were supposed to represent, how our work tied into other teams' work, how their points worked, etc. We didn't even have compatible Atlassian instances, so even though we all used Jira and Confluence, nobody could see anyone else's. I tried to point out some of those problems in a detailed report, but they told me to hide it so it doesn't embarrass them, and then hired an Agile consultant to double down on everything that was broken. I quit two weeks later and am much happier now because of it (much poorer too though, lol... can't have it all, I guess).
Because you are entering it into a Google login flow.

Which usually will have MFA and sometimes not a text box at all (passkey).
Given a long enough timescale, _every_ humanly created construct will fail.

I don't know where you live, but around you how many companies do you see that have lasted 5 years? 10? 50? 100? 1000?

Even countries have definite timespans.

Intel has already lasted for more than 50 years (and its demise is not imminent). This is a remarkable achievement for a technologu company.

We are all engaged in this "exercise in manipulation of myth" in this very discussion, and so you either missed the point or are engaging in dishonest rhetoric intended to further your goals in this manipulation of myth. Out of the principle of charity, I'm going to assume the former and will attempt to clarify.

First of all, that money is a social construct is a fact, not a pretense. Money only exists because of laws that make it so, and those laws can be changed. Not easily, of course, but over time a coalition could be built that changes laws for the better. (Obviously there are forces at play whose consequences need to be kept into account, just like you can't go against physics; there's no magical or wishful thinking here. But the behaviors of the central bank and treasury, for example, are decidedly not physics. They're a political choice.)

Recognizing that those laws can be changed opens up space in public debate that isn't there otherwise. It opens up new possibilities for policies that can lead to the improvement of lives. I'd go even further and say that it's one of the most important shifts in public consciousness that could and should be made.

But that's admittedly fairly long-term thinking. If you're only concerned with policy that has short-term effects (and can be achieved in the short term), then perhaps it makes sense that you don't personally consider my previous comment very useful. You may want to focus your attention on one of them, but both short-term and long-term thinking are important.
Yeah it's well known that liver enzyme efficiency declines slightly with age. Also you may unknowingly run into medications that inhibit it, which gets more likely as you age and accumulate chronic issues requiring medication.

I'm envious of your 100 grams of beans a day consumption - if I have more than about 10g / one single espresso I'm a wreck for the entire day! The area-under-curve for slow metabolizers is 9 times larger - 3x the duration, 3x the concentration.
Congrats on the launch, the idea sounds useful, the UI looks very intuitive and to the point. I like that I don’t have to log in and can try it immediately, big plus.

Bug report, I saw inaccurate results, I asked about “native apps” and I got negative sentiment. This is contrary to my experience, afaik HN loves them.

The example comment[1] quoted “non-native apps” and is part of the discussion where people say they don’t like non-native apps.

Edit: Then I asked about non-native apps, got sentiment “neutral” and this comment (the one I’m editing now) as the example. Very unexpected!

I get where you're coming from, and im some instances I feel the same way.

At the same time, both can be true and it's not the same in every situation.

It is possible for there to be situations where these types of programs are required and useful for lack of alternatives, and at the same time have unfairly negative effects on the out-group.

I don't know if anything can and will be done to remove the "you're tolerated, but we'd rather have literally anyone else" undertones.
I post on LinkedIn where people who make procurement decisions spend more time than on Twitter. LI is even weirder than Twitter.
I'm not interested. I just block ads altogether. and I never make any exceptions. I don't believe in this model anymore. The advertising industry has lost my complete respect with the things they've pulled in the past and are still doing.

I turned off PPA of course but I don't see ads anyway so there's nothing to attribute.
Should we kill the Internet Archive too?
Never been much into BF nor esoteric languages in general, but I love this attitude!

Regarding the comments at the top of https://github.com/bf-enterprise-solutions/ed.bf : I believe a modern-day developer comparable to Ken Thompson might be Fabrice Bellard, WDYT? Any other names that pop to mind?
And can your finger AI? Doubt it.
Imho it’s unlikely this is for natively running on a standalone headset. The overhead of translation alone would be just burning already limited compute budgets.

The other games on their list are too demanding for untethered play in the wattage one would have on a face mounted device. IMHO gorilla tag here is just a red herring.

IMHO this is just valve hedging the bet that ARM machines become more popular , and future steamdeck like devices might use ARM.

It would make sense that they test SteamVR running with proton and tethered to a headset rather than directly connected.

Imho, that’s the more straightforward explanation for this. The game is just a test bed for tethered play.
More like a downward pointing leaf blower, driving the dirt from high traffic areas into every corner of the house.

Being able to share 1 cable type for charging laptops and phones and data transfer Ana basically everything else is pretty useful/convenient.
I’m seeing Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 14_7). What do you think the 14_7 stands for on MacOS 14.7?
Funny. This is genuinely one of my deepest insights after 17 years in IT, some of it even as lead on infrastructure and platforms. Perhaps not well formulated, ok. And to date one of my most down voted comments on HN. What are the incentives supposed to achieve?
Higher levels of CO2 impair cognitive function [1].

In fact there's no floor - even small increases in CO2 have small but measurable effects.

Step 2: Wait for the tech to mature.
