Ask HN: Bookmarks for Hacker News? 2 by snshn | 2 comments on Hacker News. I constantly find myself wishing there was a way to "save" or "star" posts on this website. Favorites and bookmarks are good and all, but it's just not the same, especially when you remember seeing something on HN, but don't remember the site name or exact title to find it easily.

Ask HN: What's the best way to get developers to try a new devtool? 4 by e_zr | 3 comments on Hacker News. Some friends of mine founded a devtools startup, building a collaboration tool for dev teams. They asked me for any ideas on how to get developers to try their SDK. I had no ideas of my own so I'm posting here hoping that someone can suggest some strategies/tactics they can use to get their critical, focused batch of beta users. (If you're interested to try it yourself, you can check it out here - https://ift.tt/eiySzNX ) Suggestions welcome and appreciated... Thanks!!

Ask HN: How to start an online radio (for cheap)? 3 by isoos | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'd be interested to learn more about hosting, creating and managing an online (+ maybe archives).

I just reached 10 paying customers after 2 weeks of the public launch 15 by koushikmarka90 | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am Koushik, founder of Supademo, and this is the story of how I got my first 10 paid customers. Firstly, Wow, the feeling is memorable. I know it's a small win, but it feels like a big one in my heart A little backstory. I launched the beta version of Supademo(a tool to create interactive product demos in minutes) on Oct 8th. Link to the product: https://supademo.com After running the beta for 5 Weeks+, I officially made the public launch 2 weeks back. Some stats so far: •340 signups •250+ user demos •10 Paid customers So how did I get here? I tried different strategies to get the initial word out and find the beta users. (mainly in the first 2 weeks) These worked great for me: •Hackernews(70 upvotes) •Reddit: r/SideProject (70 upvotes) •Word of mouth •Cold DMs and emails to experienced Indiehackers for feedback. (%15 effect ) Fortunately, so many users found t...

Ask HN: Handle customer DB access in SaaS 2 by cyptus | 5 comments on Hacker News. when providing SaaS how do you handle (big) customers that requests access to their data for BI applications? most BI solutions like power bi struggles hard to obtain data from HTTP-APIs as they are paged, aggregated in other ways, authenticated with OAuth and so on. integrations are very easy if access to a sql layer would be given instead. But of course direct database access is also a struggle if using a multi tenant environment which would need at least some kind of row-level-security and a own read-replica. Also the customer needs to know every detail of the database schema which makes internal changes harder again and is an unnecessary detail. Is there any other way then filling a second database event based with the correct „business-based“ schema (like a cache) and provide direct access to this? Is there any option to provide an „sql“ api to the application architecture?

Ask HN: What do you want to see in a mass-layoff notice? 2 by sequoia | 0 comments on Hacker News. Every time there's a mass layoff notice linked here people are really angry at one or more phrasings contained in the announcement. Most recently[0], people objected to the CEO expressing regret over the layoffs and referring to employees per company lingo (googlers, metamates, in this case "birds"). I've also seen complaints about timing of layoffs (i.e. near holidays even if they're 8 weeks away), timing of public notifications (public statements too soon, public statements too late), the method of private notification (big mass email is too abrupt, telling people one by one leaves people in suspense, cutting off systems access is too abrupt despite being a reasonable security practice in most cases ). So what does everyone want to see in a mass-layoff notice? I invite everyone (especially critics) to try their hand in the comments: write a public notice about lay...

Ask HN: Why do so many CXOs hate talking to tech teams? 2 by saimiam | 8 comments on Hacker News. Yesterday, I was talking to a product manager friend who used to be a country head for revenue at a B2B company. He went off on a rant about how annoying and dispiriting it was to talk to tech people. According to him, this sentiment that tech people are unpleasant to deal with is quite pervasive at executive levels across multiple industry verticals. As a tech person myself, I knew many of us were opinionated and brash but this was eye opening. Does my friend's opinion align with your experience as well? What goes wrong when talking to tech people? How can this be improved?

Ask HN: How to overcome regret by missing out on opportunities to get rich? 2 by highwayman47 | 2 comments on Hacker News. I definitely had some character flaws that I didn't fully overcome until my late 20's. Basically, I was incredibly insecure and this led me to always try to do things on my own. This didn't really change until I started jiu-jistu. Anyways, I was able to get my first job out of college at a top university. I met some amazing people there. But really held back from socializing much, because I wanted to do well at my very menial job. A couple times colleagues tried to include me on projects, but I politely just focused on my work. Now many of them are leading very successful startups that I could've likely been an early employee at. I ended up working at 2 failed startups (I got from cold applying), and have failed about 20 times building a side hustle of my own. I feel like I needed to go through some struggle, but I can't help but regret my choi...

Ask HN: Reason for Twitter Threads from “Influencers” Explaining Basic Things? 2 by alpacabag | 2 comments on Hacker News. It’s spam. Person after person posting things to the effect of “check out these top 10 Python libraries you cannot miss thread_emoji point_down_emoji” and those threads are always terrible or basic. Then a thousand people below reply saying “mem it” with no further engagement. Why do people do this? To get followers? It is basic spam and very frustrating, I block them all.

Ask HN: Most effective non-destructive way to reverse-engineer a PCB at home? 3 by keks24 | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hello! I am looking for effective non-destructive ways in order to reverse-engineer PCBs at home. I found or could only think of... ...trying to shine through the board with very bright light. ...scanning the PCB. ...using a self-built, well-isolated X-Ray chamber[1][2], which, if done wrong and without special meters, can cause me cancer. ...using ultrasonic waves. ...using acoustic microscopy[3]. All other ways, which I have found so far[4] are destructive; the best of them is using sandpaper and sand down each layer. I would like to avoid these.

ISO Advice from Bioinformaticians 2 by sophia__r | 0 comments on Hacker News. I am a recent BSc in biology grad and I am considering a career in bioinformatics, genomics, or proteomics. Over the past few months, I have started to teach myself the basics of programming. I was hoping to get in contact with anyone currently working in any of these fields to better understand what the job looks like and what the best next steps might be. Also looking for an internship that might help me better understand what it is like to work in the field, but most seem only open to MSc and PhD grads. I am more than willing to continue my education once I get a better feel whether it is the industry for me. Any advice, tips, or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Ask HN: Are companies becoming increasingly pushy? If so why? 64 by ciwchris | 44 comments on Hacker News. I don't remember the timeline. I believe browsing Pinterest anonymously was always limited, therefore I pretty much always avoided this site. At some point LinkedIn changed to require a login to view profiles, well most of the time. Maybe this change occurred around the time Microsoft bought them. I avoid LinkedIn too. At some point both Instagram and Twitter also started aggressively limiting content for anonymous users. Medium and Substack have been increasingly nagging and/or limiting content too. Spotify seems to be trying to increasingly cross sell podcasts and audio books. Just within the last week they've also made multiple attempts to get me to enable push notifications for various communication. And then just this morning I browsed Indeed to keep an eye on what's going on in the local area and found they are limiting search results to one page without logging...

Ask HN: Many SaaS tools does your website use and for what 2 by devdiary | 1 comments on Hacker News. These days, websites are using way too many SaaS tools for analytics, advertising, remarketing, etc. The reports I'm reading quote alarmingly high number so I thought why not ask amazing entrepreneurs and devs here, how many SaaS tools does your website has integrated? A rough figure would do. Also it would be good to discuss, how does the future looks like.

Ask HN: What is the outlook for a new career in ML or DS? 4 by MLwannabe | 1 comments on Hacker News. More specifically, I'm in my early 30s and have been disabled with post concussive syndrome and ME/CFS. I've been slowly hacking away at a math, coding and ML knowledgebase in concert with efforts to increase my work endurance, with the intention of accruing hard, demonstrable skills that could serve me well in any capacity. I assumed this was the most robust use of my limited energy because these skills could be used in almost any white collar position which uses computers to perform repetitive tasks or intersects with structured and unstructured data. This is of course assuming I recover enough. At least, that was the idea x years ago. Now it seems we're on the verge of a centralizing and commoditizing revolution in ML and UX where entire swaths of knowledge producer skills will become obsolete. Where will that leave people trying for either ML engineer or more data anal...

Tell HN: Apple refuses to delete a personal domain Apple ID that I didn't create 6 by archb | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have a personal domain with catch-all email enabled. Someone signed up for an Apple ID with a scrambled (random) username on that domain, and I got notified about it on my inbox. This happens every few months and I have usually ignored them because my understanding is that Apple wouldn't allow usage of that Apple ID if the email address is not verified. Since this happens every few months, I decided to act on it this time: instead of clicking on "verify now" on the email I received, I worked through the password reset flow and managed to set a new password to the account. However, attempting to delete the Apple ID account prompts for answers to security questions, which I don't have because I did not create the account in the first place. There's a flow to reset security questions as well, but that prompts for an answer to the existing qu...

Nostr is a stupid simple P2P protocol that works, built by builders 20 by kdragon | 3 comments on Hacker News. I have been seeing a lot of shilling for mastadon lately, so I thought I would step in and shill Nostr for a bit. https://ift.tt/MueYFBO Fun facts about Nostr: * Nostr stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays". It is an odd acronym, but I like it. * Nostr uses websockets and relays to build a really simple P2P network. We also steal a few ideas from bitcoin (ECDSA ids, schnorr-signed events). * Relays are simply dumb data stores for events that clients publish and subscribe to. * Clients don't trust relays to be honest, so all events are self-signed. Your pubkey is your userid. * It is stupid simple to build a Nostr client. You can easily do it in less than 400 lines of JavaScript. And it runs in the browser. (shameless self plug) https://ift.tt/Bk0HZPI * Nostr is powerful enough to host chat apps very easily. Here is a rip of Telegram, running on...

Ask HN: Is it just me? 3 by throwaway-24112 | 2 comments on Hacker News. Over my whole career I can see a pattern. Typically, I work for an employer for around 3 to 5 years. At the start of each employment I make several successful leaps, often designing and building new systems (usually single handedly). I am rewarded with various pay rises, bonuses and promotions. Then around the halfway mark or later, things sour for a variety of different reasons. Typically, I will fall out with someone senior, like my line manager. It's normally over something mundane but definitely technical. In each cycle I try resolving things in different ways but each time I fail; then I desperately try finding a new role with the knowledge that the whole process might repeat itself. I can recall the various reasons the fallouts occured, e.g. frustrated by a boss's crony cancelling 3rd party supplier contracts (which I had to grovel to reinstate), having differing views about testing/automation (I am...

Ask HN: Would you like to join a mob programming group? 6 by mac_was | 3 comments on Hacker News. I've been thinking of setting up a fully remote mob programming group and looking for a few people to join. We could meet on zoom or use some other tool and tackle together some interesting issues from GitHub or pick an interesting project and work on it. I'm a full stack dev and that is a sort of project I'm interested in working on. I'm UK based and would love to meet during the week after 8 PM as I have kids and want to put them to bed. If you're interested reply with an email or ping me on telegram - username is mac_tele Want the first meeting to happen next Thursday at 8:30 PM UK time I'll set up a mailing group where we will agree on the tools to use and pick the first task to work on. I'm not interested in opinions about mob programming, I have very positive experience with remote sessions :)

Hey everyone! In the last months I've been working on Unclutter, a modern reader mode browser extension. In contrast to all existing approaches, it unclutters articles by modifying their CSS instead of extracting the text content. This results in a more visually pleasing result that reuses the original article style. The idea is to remove friction so you use the reader mode more often. There are a few more features around saving articles automatically and taking highlights -- more details are on the website. The extension has about 400 active weekly users right now, mostly from organic web store traffic. Monetisation has proven to be hard and for freemium there would need to be much higher numbers anyways. Do you think I should keep working on the project?

Ask HN: Tech Bloggers – what's more important – consistency or quality? 4 by skwee357 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey Tech bloggers of HN! I'm trying to focus more on my technical blog about software engineering, and I was wondering, what is more important - consistency or quality? Based on my observations, if I produce quality content, this necessarily means that consistency suffers. On the other hand, I've heard that consistency is rewarded regardless of quality (assuming quality is not trash and occasional high quality content is published). What is your experience? And what are some other ways to reach a wider audience? Thanks! [Edit] - Just to clarify 2 things: 1. I'm primarily interested in opinions of people who own their content (i.e. publish on their own website) and not trying to beat some platform algorithm. and 2. When I say consistency - I still mean quality, but obviously when you post once a week, the quality will suffer as opposed to posting once ...

Ask HN: How would you travel on an airline with your life's data and devices? 7 by walrus_pen | 7 comments on Hacker News. I am moving to a new country and it will require travelling by plane with all of my possessions. That includes many laptops, Raspberry Pis, routers, hard drives, USB drives, and SD cards. I think that this may firstly look suspicious, and secondly I am concerned about something being implanted on any one of the devices or drives if they are ever out of my sight, or being "asked" if they can be viewed (i.e. being compelled to give in to plugging in the drives). What would you do? Encrypt all the drives? Transfer almost two terabytes to encrypted cloud storage (which provider?)? What about the laptops (I have 4, one Android tablet, two iPads, a current and old phone)? I could ship these in the post ahead of time. Though I don't think if it's any safer.

Ask HN: How do evaluate a Senior engineer? 2 by triyambakam | 2 comments on Hacker News. At my current company I am a Senior engineer and I have been through three interview loops recently and all concluded that I was not Senior enough. That could be a fair assessment. And if it is, how can I get there? You don't know me, but there must be certain ways that are commonly looked for that I am lacking, either in communication or actual technical experience. That's the optimistic view on it. The pessimistic view is that in all of these interviews I never perceived that the interviewers were greatly better than my own ability. As one example, walking through my take home project one engineer asked me about a kind of React gotcha. I said I wasn't quite sure, and then he admitted that he only just come across that in their own code recently. But I felt like it had already counted against me, even though he himself hadn't known about it. I guess it felt like I should have been...

Ask HN: Best No/Low-code solution to creating a notification service? 6 by VoxelBoy | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone, I'm a game developer with a web/mobile business idea and very little time on his hands due to being a single parent. I'm looking the solution that requires the least effort to creating an MVP of this project. Summary: "Send push notification when a new software/package version is available". Parts needed (as far as I can imagine): - Simple website for accounts/signups and managing of preferences (for which software/packages to receive notifications for). - Backend for checking RSS feeds, json files, or scraping simple websites to check software/packages' latest versions. - Payment/billing system. - Mobile app for users to receive push notifications - Push notification service I've played around with IFTTT and Zapier to create some simple prototypes but to glue all the parts together seems like a daunting task, especially considering ho...

Ask HN: What are the good tools to build Admin UI based on REST / GraphQL? 3 by molszanski | 0 comments on Hacker News.

Ask HN: What to do when your Amazon recruiter ghosts you? 2 by thrwAwyAmzGhst | 3 comments on Hacker News. I had an Amazon "phone interview" which was a video call on Chime, with general background questions, live coding exercises and "Leadership Principles" questions. I don't think it was perfect, but I don't think it was bad either. However it has been over a week and I have 0 feedback from my recruiter even though I sent 2 follow-up emails. On the application tracking website it still says "under consideration", but I'm starting to get worried especially with recent layoff news. Should I be worried, or is this normal?

Ask HN: Deployment Standards for K8s Apps? 2 by kerv | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hi, I'm a bit out of the loop on this, but can someone share any information they might have on how Kubernetes orchestrated apps are typically deployed? We do quite a bit of B2B sales and have built a number of docker containers which do various things. We deploy these internally to our own environment via terraform scripts. We are now playing around with the idea of sharing this app with other customers (on-premise installs) and need some guidance. Is there a standard that people follow/IT people expect to see for deployment of these types of apps? What is realistic of us to ask our customers to do when installing our application on their own servers? Some of these users might not even have a Kubernetes environment setup in their cloud/servers. Thanks

Ask HN: Paid training by my company, what should I propose? 2 by giga_destructor | 1 comments on Hacker News. My manager told us in the last area meeting that he had to design the training plan for this following year, and he said that, if we had any particular interest in learning something, we could propose it. So here I am, asking for your suggestions! For context, we mainly work with Node.js, MySQL and AWS. Our company is AWS Advanced Technology Partner, so getting AWS certs is already in the table. Some of my colleagues proposed learning about Domain-driven design / Hexagonal Architecture / Clean Architecture, which I think it's a good idea. But I wanna hear your suggestions, no matter if you propose learning oriented to specific tools or about programming concepts in general. Of course, I believe that these suggestions should be related to the things I do in my job: maybe learning Kubernetes is useful, but I don't think I could convince my manager to pay for it if we don...

How to articulate work against business objectives 2 by hiven | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hello, This might sound simple, but I think it’s harder than it seems to effectively articulate how your work is aligned to the business objectives or OKRs. Are there any frameworks, methodologies or otherwise advice on how to do this. This is to effectively put forward a clear answer when being questioned c by management on how your work supports the business outcomes.

Ask HN: What is your RSS set-up? 2 by sherlock_h | 2 comments on Hacker News. My news diet consists of the following: * email newsletters (substack) * selected articles (a lot from Hackernews) * I also subscribe to some promotional newsletters (events, certain products). Not sure how I would fit these However, I have been struggling with keeping my inbox clean and readable with the newsletters and am considering to switch to an RSS reader. I have several criteria: 1. I need to be able to add one-off articles to the reader (such as finding an interesting article on Hackernews for later consumption). 2. I would love to be able to add rules. For example, if I don't read an article for several days, I would like it to disappear from my inbox (archived) or be marked as read so it doesn't clog my reading. 3. Needs to be accessible on computer (web/app) and mobile (ideally via app). Would love to hear how other people manage this. I'm also happy to pay for a good solution here.

Ask HN: Should I quit without a new job lined up? 8 by SoupDrinker | 14 comments on Hacker News. I'm a junior software engineer, almost 1 year into a job at $Bank. This is technically my 3rd job, my first being at $CompetingBank for 2.5 years and the 2nd being at $Bank but in a different role. 2nd job sucked, was in meetings 5/8 hours of the day, wasn't allowed to do anything outside of the strict confines of JIRA tickets ( no improving the dev / QA experience for myself or anyone else ), stuck with a manager and co-workers who nit-picked my code apart and treated me ( I felt ) like an idiot. Ended up being very little actual engineering work but having to stretch that out over a 8-10 hour work day, which drove me insane. The happiest time I can remember there was having to cover for 2 people so I actually had things to work on the entire week. Transferred out into a new role which turned out to be the opposite; way too much work, little to no time, same pay ( that's now p...

Hello, I'm building a WebAssembly compiler and documenting the process in the meantime. This aims to be a tool for demonstration and education purpose. It doesn't aim to do fancy stuff nor to replace existing ones. I'm building this to learn and to improve and hopefully it can be useful for others as well :) From last time I've presented the idea, I've implemented more basic features on Luna and I've built a custom and tiny runtime for Luna! (documenting it of course).

Ask HN: Why not use “% WYSIWYG/LaTeX” to indicate resemblance to LaTeX output? 2 by amichail | 2 comments on Hacker News. The idea is to have a similarity measure between what you see while editing and the output that you care about (e.g., LaTeX output, HTML output, etc.). For example, such a similarity measure could show numerically just how much what you see while editing in TeXmacs is closer to LaTeX output than what you see while in editing in LyX. For LaTeX output, maybe TeXmacs would have "90% WYSIWYG/LaTeX" while LyX would have "50% WYSIWYG/LaTeX". For HTML output, maybe TeXmacs would have "80% WYSIWYG/HTML" while LyX would have "50% WYSIWYG/HTML". Do you think this would be an improvement over using the term WYSIWYG? Also, how might one define the similarity measure for this purpose?

After a month of "trying to find a customer to place me", telling me I'm a fantastic candidate etc. they finally decided to cancel the verbal offer until maybe next year. I've recently had other bad experiences were they basically try to find excuses to cut me on interviews. It's like I'm answering the questions correctly minus one, so I'm disqualified. I don't remember job searching being that hard even a few years ago, anybody relates?

GitHub Banned Me Permanently 20 by siproprio | 7 comments on Hacker News. A few months ago, I’ve made some controversial comments on an open source project discussion that I regret. Because of these comments, GitHub decided to permanently ban me from the platform. I can no longer have any account on GitHub, new accounts that I create are hunted and suspended. I tried appealing the ban, and months have passed with no response from support. This means that GitHub has effectively suspended my ability to participate in the development community, and also I cannot work as well, because my company uses GitHub, and as soon as GitHub finds out that a account is used by me, the account is immediately banned under the justification that it is being used to sidestep a decision. I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m afraid, I’m going to be fired if I can’t work, what I’m going to do?
