   That sounds much more feasible! I copied and pasted your tip into my notes app. Thanks!

   I really want to find a great open-source JAMStack documentation site for APIs. Does one exist somewhere?

   Hmm, okay, so I can drive over to Canada, make a developer friend there, build an instance of the Signal iOS app using the licenses there, load it onto my phone via TestFlight or USB stick, then drive back to the U.S. and use it assuming TS

   So...assuming this bill passes and Signal pulls out of the U.S., what can the average person do to continue to access Signal's servers in other countries? Can we VPN into an Apple computer based in the EU, build our own Signal client,

   I just filled it out! I didn't realize from the previous HN post Signal was threatening to leave the U.S. market altogether! I don't recall if they have ever done that before. So I'm taking this seriously.

   This is a really cool idea! My friends and I play games and watch movies through Zoom. We just screenshare one person's screen, and it usually works out. I'm not sure if there's a way to create a platform to play any game thr

   I've heard numerous times startups have had a hard time getting a smaller amount of funding from angels and VCs. As in, "I want $500k" and "no, we only do deals with $1M+", or something like that. I thought that w

    Do safety-critical systems have memory burned as ROM, instead of having dynamic memory allocation? From my point of view, the plane doesn't really change, so the avionics suite shouldn't require changing either. You build a physic

    Very nice! Congratulations on launching, and looking forward to seeing your success in the coming years!

    Seconded. I (think? don't remember) I did Fed Challenge back in the day, and the econ resources I trusted most was Bloomberg/Economics, CNBC/Economics, and FRED by far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natio

    This is really interesting. I only knew of OpenAPI, but my project's going to have both HTTP / REST APIs and WebSockets. I didn't even know this existed. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Holy crap dude, that's some nightmare shit right there. Does AWS update the billing console per day or upon request? I get charged per month, but I should add a habit in my habit tracker to learn more about my expenses...

    I evaluated LastPass, OnePassword, and Bitwarden personally for my devices (Windows / macOS / Linux / iOS). Bitwarden supports all these plus more, is cheap, lightweight, reliable, UX-decent, and open-source. If you build a g

    I consider the self-deployment option the 'npm eject' feature of open-core software, and I'd prefer to support an org to avoid having them disappear and consequently needing to manage my own build infra and scanning mailing l

    This is really cool, thanks for sharing! I personally use Bitwarden, also because it's free and open source software, and because the cloud managed option is $10 / year. I've found the GUI to be very well-made for a heavy key

    I love $ZM, it works when nothing else does, and it's responsive to user feedback and cares about user happiness. Most of the interactions I have today are through $ZM and my life would be cut off almost entirely if $ZM didn't exi

    I purchased a Kitchen Safe for $50 and lock my phone up 14-15 hours a day. In an emergency, I can smash the safe for $50 and get my phone out. Works wonders for productivity.

    I hope the confluence of this administration, plus this pandemic resulting in this piss-poor federal response, is something we'll never see again in our lifetimes. I'm really glad somebody is stepping up to the plate in the meanti

    So, going beyond the depressing, I think one good thing that will come out of all this since this situation isn't experienced in any of our lifetimes (including our elders) we have to reach back to history to find comparisons. Maybe th

    A few days ago I would have said you're right. But this virus changes day by day, and there are reports younger people are requiring ICU / ventilation in New York City. 29% of those hospitalized are between 20-44 y/o: https:

    Death is always an uncomfortable discussion topic, but I'd say it's one of our best teachers. To bring up one of my examples, Palmyra was once a wealthy Roman provincial capital in Asia Minor, separated from the Roman Empire by de

    Have you reviewed data-intensive architectures? I've found that book quite useful. I'm just talking out my butt right now but I think fundamentally, a stream is just a chunk of data lifted from persist into memory. I imagine a cur

    I respectfully disagree. Things get better or worse based on our decision-making skills and the physical state of the world, not because we "deserve" to get better or because it "naturally" happens. We have to put in the

    Maybe. Still not switching away from Firefox though. I have Chrome installed because WebRTC is a lot better and teleconferencing needs have shot up recently, and because I lock my phone away in a Kitchen Safe and use 2FA with Authy the Chro
