I built a home-grown scanner like this one (not with ZBar though) for my asset tracking web app (www.assetbots.com) and agree that for 1D barcodes a cheap bluetooth or USB scanner …

I launched Assetbots ( https://www.assetbots.com/ ) last year and went through a lot of ups and downs transitioning into the "people give me money" phase of the SaaS journey. This …

I never realized just how bad this can be until I started selling/marketing my startup. I was so confused by the reaction to my participation on a few subreddits where my target cu…

Congrats on launching Aaron! I've been a Replicache user since v7 when it was distributed as wasm - it's now v10 for General Availability. My use case is quite a bit different than…

I'm also working on a similar product, but targeted toward small businesses ( https://assetbots.com/ ). I agree that the simplicity is nice here. I've done a lot of customer interv…

I definitely will. I'm adding an issue to my roadmap right now. This would be a no-brainer add-on for some common use cases.

This is really cool! I'm working on an asset tracking application right now ( https://www.assetbots.com/ ), and generating labels are a big part of the workflow. My roadmap calls f…

https://www.dispoteca.com/ I just launched the marketing site on Monday. I'm 38 with a spouse and two small children. I've been a CTO of two SMBs over the last few years and needed…

Shotzoom Software (Tempe, AZ) - https://shotzoom.com/ Android Developers Shotzoom is an app development company that creates market leading mobile and web experiences in sports and…

Thanks for taking the time to check it out. We're actually unsure of market size, except for anecdotally because we are the market. We're hoping to better understand the market and…

https://jacket.io Hey HN. We're releasing our marketing / lead generation page for our new service today. We'd love your helpful feedback and criticism. Our MVP is trying to solve …

I've never dealt with an ultra-long trip like the one he's talking about in the article. However, for "normal-"length vacations you might take as a software engineer (i.e., 2 weeks…

The most useful information on the current state of RMTP client libraries I could find: http://captsolo.net/info/blog_a.php/2009/01/19/rtmp_flash_vi... I suppose it was only offici…

The big problem with that is that you'd have to use the same really_long_random_string to register for every gravatar-enabled site you want to register for. The only benefit I can …

I suppose it depends on the definition of "success". Learning about the state of the art and writing some enlightening code, no matter its ultimate usefulness, would be plenty succ…

Yes, I've done a bit of searching on CBIR actually. There are a few papers out there about querying at multiple resolutions (like http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/query/mrqu…

I am interested in extracting a set of objects from a large, noisy image. For instance: if I had a high-resolution picture of a seating section at a stadium, I might want to extrac…

I assumed you did, I was honestly just trying to formulate my point. That, and I was talking about C++ macros, which is what Joel was referring to as well.

This actually is a neat article. Especially the hit-it-home sentence: Now, you too can share some of this glory by writing your own compiler for the Microsoft® .NET Framework. Made…

Allowing a user to edit the string later is the most common reason I've encountered. No one likes to see an input all cluttered with """, "&" and the like.

Given the overall theme of this rant, I would assume that it's about keeping code close together and easy to understand. Obviously, macros have almost nothing in common with functi…

My Google interview a few years ago was very similar. No matter how confident you are, it's amazing how nerves can cause you to stand there at the whiteboard babbling like a newbor…
