I've been following this project for a while, it's super exciting. Unfortunately, progress seems to have slowed somewhat in the last 6 months. Loading Node in the renderer is a broken pattern that is full of compatibility issues a

This is a real problem. Marketing tools like Intercom and Fullstory made the Time-To-Interactive metric on our landing page 10x slower. It had a measurable effect on the search engine rankings too. Faster webpages → better search rankings →

This is a great alternative way to have a fun evening with housemates during lockdown. Tried this with a cheap whiskey + lemon, it was dangerously tasty. Congrats Daniel!

Our customers provide the certs. We can sort something out for Jitsi though. They are on the app store so they most likely already have a cert.

Hi Sungho, Dave from ToDesktop here. Great to see people using ToDesktop on HN. :) edit: Sungho, we've fixed that Google auth issue. It was an Electron-wide issue. If you rebuild the app then Google auth should work again.

It's easy to under appreciate the amount of infrastructure work involved in deploying a production electron app to customers. Auto-updates, code signing, installers etc... I'm working on a startup to help solve some of this: http

I did the very first Startup School and the most recent Startup School. When I did the first Startup School I made a number of mistakes. The most costly was that I didn't launch early enough. When I did eventually launch my product, I

Deaths per KM is 60x lower when flying rather than driving a car. Even for short haul flights, flying is considerably less deadly than driving the same distance.

I launched ToDesktop back in April, I'm ramen profitable and I'm working on it full-time. I don't know if I would call it a success yet. I want my revenue to reach six figures annually before I call it a success but I'm

By the way, you can get around this by using their custom domain support and proxying the segment script.

I've been stuck on the iPhone SE since release and refuse to switch even though the home button is broken. I would consider switching to Android if a manufacturer released a premium phone with SE-like dimensions. There's literally

Slack is probably their closest competitor at this stage. But they do crypto (stellar) wallets + git + identity too. The encrypted git functionality is really handy for sharing API keys.

Here's the corresponding issue on Github: https://github.com/electron/asar/issues/123 As you can see from the issue, this exploit has been known for 2 years and probably longer than that. As I said (Nove

I'm currently ranked number 24 on the leaderboard. I was in the top 10 until they started picking winners. You can see from the chart in the article that I (DaveJ) have the largest negative "rank change since start" with -21.

I don't know whether chronic Lyme is a thing or is not a thing. But there is something going on and medicine doesn't have an answer for it currently. Fibromyalgia is a useless diagnosis. Most of the time docs don't know what&

Issues with deli meats could also point to histamine issues and mast cell activation syndrome. I'm not saying it applied to your case but perhaps it's something for others to be aware of.

It's a personal anecdote of an individual's experience. When you are at your wits end with an illness and doctors have no answer for you, then it's natural to want to try stuff with very little science behind it. It's al

Sam Altman is on record saying that they asked him to leave because he recruited talent from OpenAI for his other companies. Sam seemed quite philosophical about it though and was complimentary to Musk otherwise. It doesn't sound like

I have some experience with this, you can use javascript on the https:// meeting link to detect if the app protocol (zoom:// or whatever) exists. If the app protocol exists then go straight to the app protocol link. If

Where are they going to get access to the diffs of the patch? iOS is closed source.

I’m not sure of the stats honestly but there’s still going to be a huge long tail of people on earlier versions for months afterwards. I was surprised that I was still on iOS 12.2.

Sounds good in theory. In reality, the vast majority of iPhone users are not aware that this bug exists and never will be. The best action for user safety is to wait until the period has elapsed or the exploit has been seen in the wild alre

I didn’t read it like that. I read it more like... yes, we just got some money from investors but the drive for profitability is still a huge priority.

A couple of things I've noticed here at Aldi in Ireland. Particularly interested in the psychological aspects: - The packing area (after the till) is quite small. This means that if you're not packing quickly and putting items bac
