Show HN: Mindmapping wasn't working for me, so I fixed it
I decided to build an unorthodox but extremely useful (at least to me) approach to mindmapping: Dealing with things one at a time.

Instead of being bombarded with hundreds of nodes, graphics and text when a mindmap gets large enough. Brainstorms aims to show the nearest connections to a node, allows you traverse through them as your curiosity guides you and most importantly, retrace your steps.

It also has a cool fuzzy finder so you can go straight to the state of a particular node in mind and iterate from there.

This app is also just more fun and intuitive to use than existing mindmapping software out there which can feel bloated or extremely outdated.
The article does not make it clear why they think the portrait depicts Shakespeare. I guess you have to watch the tv show for that information?

It talks about comparison to other portraits of Shakespeare, but as far as I know there are no depictions of Shakespeare confirmed to have been made in his lifetime.
Mikrotik sells also bare boards. They come with their RouterOS platform (Linux based, closed) but some can run OpenWRT.
Also Olimex has really interesting and open products, but they're not primarily aimed at networking.

I believe what they meant was that you do not want a military that feels it's within their rights to forcibly remove leaders from power who they disagree with. That's how coups work.

In the video, trump urges people to go out and vote, in which case telling them "just this time" and "you won't have to do it anymore, 4 more years, it will be fixed, it will be fine"

When I watched the video, I saw no malice.

It depends on what you're optimizing against, I think. I'd guess OpenAI prioritizes retention, so they don't give up the recent massive user base growth. If you retain users, you get them to continue using the product (data flywheel), and you can iterate fast enough - you will eventually be successful.
Absolutely fascinating morning read!
Honestly I'd probably resist this too. Maybe you could practice on me? Help see the benefit?

I'm seeing three main points in this advice:

1. Don't misuse mocks. (Mocks, fakes, whatever.)

2. Write testable, well-factored code with pluggable dependencies.

3. Don't use mocks at all. Use "nullables" instead.

I'm totally on board with (1) and (2) as good advice in general, no matter how you're testing. But (3) seems like an independent choice. What benefit does (3) specifically deliver that you wouldn't get with (1) and (2) and mocks instead of nullables?

I'm ready to admit I'm missing something, but I don't see it.
The problem is that many other people and organizations run Windows and it's absolutely security critical for them. And because we don't live in a vacuum, it's security critical for all of us.
Possibly the result of little or no announcements elsewhere. I learned about the OpenWRT One existence only after searching what OpenWRT Two is 10 minutes ago.
The general model has some intrinsic advantages. If you want to build out solar generation you normally have to buy land (expensive), but this way the customer is giving you space on their roof "for free". Then the price per kWh the customer pays to the power company includes a transmission cost, but the power is being consumed on site so you don't have to pay that.

The result is that solar generally has a generation cost of ~$0.04/kWh (which includes the cost of the land) but meanwhile you have customers happy to be paying $0.11/kWh. The trade off is the one-time cost of installing it on individual roofs is more labor intensive than doing a large-scale installation in a field somewhere, but that just means it's competitive rather than having a massive advantage.

This feels right and wrong at the same time.

It’s right (as explained in the about):

- to like Django and all the 1000s of contributions

- to be frustrated by its limits & to want to do more

- to fork and rearchitect if you can’t get there by debate

- that people may like it and come along or the ride

- in many of the features and design points

- to embrace HTMX

It’s wrong:

- to try to innovate on the Python/Django ecosystem

- to miss out on functional code for HTML composition

- to continue the framework paradigm - HTMX leads to server side which leads to devs reclaiming the application loop

If, like me, you feel that plain is on the right track, but want to go faster / further, then I encourage you to take a look at https://harcstack.org. [disclaimer, I am the author]
Interesting. Got more examples of this playbook?
> you need internet connection to even login

That's right. It sounds like a bug but this is Microsoft we're talking about here. They're probably brainstorming for ways to lock you from your own computer.

You can solve this problem by creating an offline account with Admin privileges after setting up Windows with your online account, but most users won't do that.
MicroTik is European (Latvian) and makes some affordable routers. Their own RouterOS is closed source, but many models are supported by OpenWrt (no experience). If you are willing to spend more, OPNsense (Netherlands) also sells hardware. In the old days one could also recommend PFsense hardware, but they are becoming more and more closed (though you can usually run OPNsense on the same hardware).

QNAP is Taiwanese. Their QHora routers use closed software, but I think most models are supported by OpenWrt.

Yes I understand in US where a lot of people live in houses this makes less sense but in asia and europe a lot of people live in apartments and they have their router and smart tv box in living room on tv desk. Such router covers whole apartment and direct wired connection to TV would reduce latency with airplay.

I never heard of Poe's Law until now.

I have watched YouTubers successfully make psychological inroads with people who support the current administration by saying things like "Trump either meant what he said or he's a demagogue. We'll see how it turns out."

Or by acknowledging their belief that Trump is a successful business man, but by including the truth right after it. I'll say "Yeah he's definitely a very successful businessman, which is why it's so surprising that he managed to wipe 5 trillion dollars worth of value from the stock market, which has hurt a ton of people."

This is exactly how propaganda works. A lie and then truth, or truth and then a lie. It's amazingly effective.
That logging is legally mandated. You literally said they like signal because they want to break the law. Which is a part of scandal.

Can you elaborate more on your persistence layer?

One of the good reasons why most products will layer on top of an established database like Postgres is because concerns like ACID are solved problems in those databases, and the database itself is well battle-hardened, Jepsen-tested with a reputation for reliability, etc. One of the reasons why many new database startups fail is precisely because it is so difficult to get over that hump with potential customers - you can't really improve reliability until you run into production bugs, and you can't sell because it's not reliable. It's a tough chicken-and-egg problem.

I appreciate you have reasons to build your own persistence layer here (like a push-based model), but doesn't doing so expose you to the same kind of risk as a new database startup? Particularly when we're talking about a database for durable execution, for which, you know, durability is a hard requirement?
The Business of Board Games – Cashflow, Tariffs, and Teapots
> How reasonable do you think it is to be this automatically suspicious of any computer coming from China?

Based on their track record? Pretty fucking reasonable.

I would say that most probably isn't malicious collaboration with the CCP, rather sheer incompetence. Shipping secure anything just isn't part of their culture. Read a comment on HN the other day from someone that evaluated Huawei hardware for a telco and swore it was so full of holes to be unusable.

The ingrained extreme cheapness of Chinese culture doesn't help. Security is viewed as a luxury - why waste time and money on it when that could be better spent elsewhere?

That said, the incompetence gives them plausible deniability when the intelligence agencies take advantage to exploit the holes for their own use.
What، acompany needs to cover the costs of how it was acquired, now? If it's valued at the price it was purchased and making a positive revenue stream then it is profitable.
From the article:

But yes, a 20% tariff is manageable. It will mean things cost more and added up across all sorts of things that are made not in the US it will affect everyone’s wallet. But as a business I can manage almost anything if I know about it.

What isn’t manageable is the absolute chaotic nature of how these things are being implemented. Tariffs on, tariffs off, extra tariffs, no extra tariffs. 15% increase on April 2nd. Just Kidding, only 15% on some things but we aren’t saying what those things are.

I can manage anything, but I cannot reasonably run a business where I don’t know what the cost of goods is going to be.
Who cares what Steve Bannon thinks?
It's definitely stagnating. Compare how easy it was to add the admin interface when the framework was still young, vs adding the background workers feature you mentioned.

A lot more testing needs to be done before adding anything. The community should welcome projects like Plain, that can move fast and break things, which in turn might inspire Django.

BTW is there still a way to disable the stupid pin login on windows 10 and/or 11?

One that works this week, what I found online did not help.
Im glad you do.

Here is the thing though - nobody can predict the future. Statistically, going by historical examples and knowledge, everything that Musk and Trump are doing is wrong in regards to economy, but there is a chance that they are actually right and everyone else has the "woke mind virus".

The thing you need to understand is that if you vote Republican, you aren't aligned with actual reality. The problem is that you see things as black and white - anything that has a sign of the woke mind virus has to be gutted and restructured. This kind of thinking is a case of the classic human bias where you chose to pay attention to the information that fits your narrative, while ignoring the information that does.

This in turn makes makes you less likely to predict the outcome of politics, much less prepare for it.

So if you want to place your bets on Republicans, just know that you can lose very hard, while people like me who are in tune with reality end up being better of.

Honestly, next election (if we even have one) Ill ironically be voting Republican as well, for the reason that I believe in accelerating US downfall. EU seems to be the better system going forward, and they need a nudge in the right direction to pick up the slack, and also institute more stringent society policing to prevent the same from happening to their countries.
> It's the Thing module's responsibility to correctly set up the test doubles involved.

But why?

Maybe there's some fundamental difference of opinion here, because I'm thinking definitely not, no way, test-only code paths should never reach prod, and code that ships should never even know that testing is a thing that happens.
I don't know about the One. But some of the MediaTek CPUs apparently have hardware fq-codel support, or so I was told. I had a Gl.iNet with a MediaTek SoC (Flint 2) and it had great bufferbloat scores.

First of all, a lot of people of the left have money in the stock market. A lot of people on the left talk about the stock market. You live in Seattle so you must know quite a few people on the left who have a lot of stock options.

Anyway, Trump promised a lot of things. He promised to use his business acumen to help the country, but now the stock market is tanking. It's weird because he's been bankrupt six or seven times by now, but he still says he is going to lead America into a golden age of prosperity.

The tariffs don't seem to be helping either. The ways things are right now, it seems likely that Trump is the epitome of Dunning-Kruger, or a criminal, or a demagogue.

Has he even done anything about prices at all? It would legit seriously help a lot of Americans if he would. I don't know. He talked about it a lot, but maybe it's not going to happen.

Elon saying what the numbers are is the most unreliable thing.
Would you argue that we needn't concern ourselves with polution so long as we eat healthier diets? Its obvious that the health benefits are not only additive they are multiplicative.

There is no amount of general health that is a replacement for not getting deadly diseases. We should acheive the best results by vaccination and other measures and should we deprive ourselves of this option we should not advance any of the other aspect of public health.

Let me reiterate this statement

>will build such a strong immune system that we need much less medicines and vaccines.

Is absolutely nonsense.

There is no substitute for not getting deadly health destroying diseases. General public health is a slog that if it improves it will do so over many years and it will do so faster if people get fewer deadly diseases.
It is. You can check by reading the title.

Your's is a reiteration of Microsoft's preferred talking point that has no basis in reality. Tying local authentication to the cloud tremendously increases the attack surface for those who don't need it. TPMs do nothing to change this fact. The only connection between a TPM and a Microsoft account is that Microsoft chose to tie those two together for their own benefit.
This is an entirely predictable next step - the only surprise is that it took so long to happen.

They progressively replaced all the default apps with the Google alternatives.

A Chrome-Chromium type split was only a matter of time.
When you're forced online, you become less resistant to products and services being fed from the cloud, then computers can be produced cheaply with less storage and resources, and almost everyone will end up running dumb terminals. It doesn't happen overnight, but more and more people would rather buy a 150 bucks PC plus pay per use services rather than a 250 one that can host and run installed software, then the market would do the rest by making real computers more expensive as they transition to niche products.
I'd rather start familiarizing with open and less intrusive operating systems.

Show HN: Backend for Mobile Apps
Hi all,

I’ve been building for past several months a backend as a service specifically for mobile apps.

I believe it’s a first one that is truly for mobile apps by leveraging security and integrity checks to identify app when talking to a backend.

I’m building on cloudflare and have a foundation working: email with password authentication, SQLite direct access with SQL (choose your own wrapper, ORM, or none), permissions and row level permissions with conditions.

Currently it’s for iOS and React Native first.

Database is SQLite compatible - aka D1 cloudflare. The way one access it from mobile app is literally just doing SQL - I have a preview package here https://www.npmjs.com/package/@calljmp/react-native.

Security isn’t an option - meaning app gets authorized not by hardcoding api keys or project ids but by passing the security and integrity checks to identify itself then gets a JWT for faster access using secure storage aka key stores an chains on mobile device.

Im planning to add more features like storage and functions. Thankfully all of it can be run locally for faster development too.

I would like to hear your thoughts, feedback, and ideas.

Regards.

What kind of security vulnerabilities do you think an incompetent PC OEM is going to accidentally introduce to a barebones PC that's basically shipping an Intel reference platform and no SSD? Or that GL.iNet might be able to introduce to a system where OpenWRT is assembling the firmware image that gets flashed to the board, and if there are any closed-source components they'd be coming from Mediatek and not developed by GL.iNet?

Shipping telco hardware with a massive bespoke software stack implementing an impossibly-complex pile of standards is very different from what we're talking about here.

The real estate sales guy is also trying to sell the idea that Europe has no own defense, which is simply untrue.

Europe (excluding Russia) has the second most powerful military in the world on most accounts, with proper technological replacements for everything sold by the Nato ally on the other side of the Atlantic. (Much thanks to Charles De Gaulle who knew the Americans could not be trusted).

But a war with the Moscow State going on in Europe is a big thing. Which of course makes Europe weak in the west, and can be taken advantage of.

I think the lesson learned here is that Europe (and Canada) needs to close ranks and unite. Which may not be a preferable outcome for USA. And before T with a functioning Nato command, there were simply no reason to do that.

I think it's perfectly fine to have split effort when you have differing views and goals on something. Developing two exact same things with same goal and purpose might not be fruitful, but variety and options don't usually hurt
