I've launched a bunch of different products so I thought maybe I could help other developers get over the last mile and get their finished products launched too. The idea started from the followi…

If you’re interested in publishing a book, please reach out and let me know what’s blocking you. My email address is in my profile. I’m not selling anything here, I want to understand the issues you’r…

This is what I did as well. Not wanting to take away my users privacy I built my own simple counter in 2022. I wrote about The Raspberry Pi 400 in My Bedroom on my blog at the URL below. I just downlo…

I don't think they are right now. I have very wide feet, so much so that I've seriously considered manufacturing my own shoes (possibly with a 3D printer). Shoe makers and repair shops do ex…

I agree… I don’t think this is a real problem that needs solving; or I at least think it’s a problem browser vendors should solve, but lets over engineer it while still trying to keep it simple and us…

I thought it was a Windows SSH / terminal tool. I’m probably remembering wrong. Edit: Found it already. I was definitely thinking of Putty.

Love the idea. There are a couple oddities I found in the UI. 1. When you sign up the prompt says “signup”. I didn’t know what it wanted. I finally just guessed username and that was right. 2. I could…

I agree, it’s your choice. But, if you want to help others, you also have permission to share your work. You probably don’t think your work is valuable but someone is waiting for your unique perspecti…

Whoa, I made the list, but just barely, #4752. HN has been a fantastic community for me.

This site doesn't work well on desktop Safari either. Clicking things doesn't seem to do anything but a few seconds later I'll see some movement. I suspect something is wildly broken or…

I think Gates tried to sell off most of his fortune at one point. It came raging back, if I’m not miss-remembering. Money begets money, or something.

This discussion makes me wonder, how hard is it to find a Google Document that was shared with "Anyone with the link"?
comment
I haven’t paid attention to the politics here much, but isn’t driving up the price the point? If you charge Canada a 25% tariff then products sold in the U.S. and shipped from Canada should cost U.S. …

I find that writing with pen and paper is best for my mind. But, I’m a technologist so I love digital. I use the Kindle Scribe to cover both bases. I’ve written about it here: https://notes…

I would dig this

Most EULA’s would disclaim liability for data loss and suggest users keep good backups. I haven’t read a EULA for a long time, but I think most of them do so.

You might like my Neat CSS framework, which I use for everything these days. I didn’t use perfectly black, it’s off just a bit, which I find pleasing, but it still has plenty of contrast. https:/…

It’s a little off topic but I used to think Go binaries were too big. I did a little evaluation at some point and changed my mind. Sounds like they are still bigger than Rust. https://joeld…

I was going to discount most of this. It appears this link is missing or private now. What did it say?
comment
Did you ever start that non-tech business?
comment
I don’t know of a tool but I’ve had some success doing this with a one shot short prompt. I say something like, “Here’s a readme. Develop this in Go.” Followed by the readme. I’ve been getting complet…

It often does. The other thing that has worked for me is contacting the legal department. Probably the same address, c/o legal. Just don’t say something stupid like, “I’m going to sue you”. If yo…

> regrets of counterfactual timelines I think I agree. These are my memories and our memory is not great. I've even learned that when I am most confident, I am more likely to be incorrect. It&…

I am very similar to op. What type of mental health professional should we seek out? I talked to a PA about ADD a couple times, but dropped it because they seemed doubtful and I felt a bit ashamed (be…

I’m relatively sure they would bring the hammer down on the sender.

The app is still available on iOS but if you open it the screen only shows "THE END" and a winner is announced. It also says, "Stay tuned for hte next game.". So, maybe it is dead …

100Mbps? That does put it in perspective. We gotta design our sites first this y’all.
comment
This prompt is a lot more complex than what I did. I don’t recall my exact prompt but it was something like, “Generate a list of 25 songs that I may like if I like Girl is on my Mind by the Black Key…

I had an LLM create a playlist for me. I’m tired of the bad playlists I get from algorithms, so I made a specific playlist with an Llama2 based on several songs I like. I started with 50, removed any …
