Viewing profile — Fission

This is fun, but what I think would be even more interesting and potentially actually useful would be to generate a word from multiple ideas — to help express complex ideas in one …

I'm quite a big fan of this idea. There is a lot of local history that I suspect I'd never have learned about if some map like this didn't exist. The one thing that would greatly s…

The male astronaut with coffee [1] (that I believe you're using as a "verified" example) has an extra finger on his right hand [1] https://www.rubbrband.com/static/media/astronaut_…

Since Scale.ai provides labeling services to the US Department of Defense, how do they address the issues presented in this article? Have their labelers go through government backg…

There are a lot of different translations with varied ease of reading, modernity of prose, and fidelity to the original source. The one by Gregory Hays is one of the newest and is …

That’s because your data is stored locally, so special characters in the title = special characters in the filename, which isn’t possible. Small but very worthwhile tradeoff.

To be fair, this doesn't appear to be an official account (i.e. one that is affiliated with YC). Seems like a project by an unaffiliated developer that happened to grab a relevant …

I wanted to link to an older comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24714286 ) I made on this topic, because I keep on seeing this article. It's turned out to be one of my …

An open-ended question for you @dang — why don't you think You and Your Research gets more attention from the HN community? It's a good talk by a highly reputable source, about hav…

I did this recently to start creating a public (but unlisted) developer log, à la Carmack .plan. Obsidian has a community GitHub backup plugin, but you can also just manually push …

A tip for the Muse team: based on my experience with first-person 3D, a substantial portion of users don't understand pointerlock, and the built-in notification that browsers give …

It seems like there are some major accessibility issues that are a result of embedding text/inputs/etc. within threejs itself. Have you considered using an HTML element and dynamic…

There are a lot of virtual office tools out there (I'm not affiliated with any so I feel comfortable asking this question). What makes Spot compelling vs. the alternatives? And if …

I'm a maker of satchel.com. This is one of the core problems we aimed to tackle. In doing so, we've actually build out _exactly_ this. There are still some crucial obstacles to ens…

I buy physical books like crazy. Unfortunately, I can similarly describe Amazon's book shipping practices. Some of the things Amazon's done to the books I've ordered: - shipped in …

This is one of the problems we try to solve at Satchel ( https://satchel.com/ ). We write long-form guides to help startups figure out the best tool for them to use.

This is something we wrote at decent length about in the past — let me know if this is helpful for your use case. https://satchel.com/knowledge-base/

I have to agree. It feels like punching below the belt. The only reason why you know that the smaller startups have failed is because the founder has humbly written up a writeup on…

I keep on seeing this link pop up. Since no one is replying, I'd like to point out that I think the Wirecutter is actually in the right here. Another HN member did some investigati…

There was a really interesting debate here on who should get credit for the patent (Charpentier & Doudna vs. Feng Zhang and to a lesser extent George Church, i.e. discovery + chara…

This is why we started Satchel ( https://satchel.com/ ). It's like The Wirecutter or Consumer Reports for SaaS. The goal is to provide an independent opinion and overview of differ…

I think that's okay though. If we're only representative of only 5% of the iA userbase, but we're willing to pay more than 20x of the subscription price ($5/yr → $8.33+/mo), then t…

Thanks. I was just going to ask what made it unique.
