The problem is not the actual dev time of a serious side project like a SaaS. Even if it just takes you three months to get to some sellable product with payment integration, etc.--the much bigger problem is that you need multiple shots to

This is the wrong kind of presentation for the typical HN content. And somebody did the same thing already before.

And all the years before they have this subtle unsettling feeling that something is wrong with their job.

Can't relate. Coding on neovim in tmux on a remote machine obviously with a very slight lag.

I don't think it will solve the problem because they still want the hardware makes to distribute updates.

> ARM processors, it isn't trivial This is what they tell us for decades. You can just disable parts of an SoC if no driver is available. This is just an architectural decision Google is not willing to address. And ARM reference des

Why do you think so? On that page is just this sentence and nothing more. I don't believe in a significant improvment unless Google takes ownership of all OS updates themselves.

I don't think that MS tests all hardware when updating Windows. Sometimes some hardware doesn't work after an Windows update and then you just head to the respective hardware manufacturer and try to get updated drivers. This model

Nice Marketing coop for an OS where 50% of devices won't get updates. I don't get it. They bring frequent major updates with such important features like 60 new emijis or antivirus software instead of just doing their homework and

How was it when you came back? Culture shock, hard to get along again or was it easy?

I am not sure if this is ao good for your personality and character devlopment. Just compare two guys: One lives in a country where his personal purchasing power is much much higher than in his home country and his ethnicity signals a high

Slightly OT: Everytime there's a discussion about living in SE Asia or Thailand people give many good reasons to go. Very rarely to never one dares to mention girls there as a reason. In this thread there's one person only who doe

But the funnel till this point you mention is MUCH cheaper on the web than on mobile (where people also install and deinstall right away or never use that app). And this 'being cheaper' is the whole discussion around.

We primarely discussed the user acquisition costs in this thread and I pointed out a huge conversion breaker in the acquisition funnel of mobile which just let the costs skyrocket. If users stick or not after being acquired is as importan

We can spare this discussion. Of course there might be use cases which have a healthy CAC to LTV ratio. But almost none of them is B2C, except scammy dating apps and addictive fremium games. And some one-hit-wonder games which cannot replic

I disagree. Yes the web is also competitive but it's 100x easier for a simple reason: The next site ia just ONE single click away. The next app is few clicks and a download away, even without any sign-up, an app install is a gigantic c

How to get rich (or daytrading for beginners): 1. Buy ZRX 2. Submit an 0x post to HN and get it upvoted (use 0x and other crypto chats to create ad hoc voting rings but brief the guys to do the upvoting right) 3. Once on the frontpage, go t

Nowadays the issue with app devlopment is not only having two OSes two develop for (and I doubt that Flutter is a real help here), the much bigger problem is user acquisition. User acquisition got so insanely expensive for apps that there a

Android is a funny ecosystem. Every month, dozens of new Android phones hit the market bringing new exciting features like a clippable 360 camera but still after 10 years, there is no policy in place for direct updates from the OS vendor (l
