There must literally be hundreds of, "Looks cool, but I built " in this thread. It leaves me with mixed emotions. If you're prone to analysis paralysis - this is an unfortunate tim…

I suspect it's just the generalized anti-West/anti-American sentiments extended into anything and everything. Anything that makes the US look anything close to good goes against th…

Probably a bad qualifier. Maybe non-VC would have been better. Myself and my co-founder are trying to raise via a syndicate of like-minded investors/angels in lieue of the "traditi…

From my experience they wanted you to demonstrate enough metrics that would have justified NOT ever getting VC funding. It feels like they are just becoming lazy.

I’m really not trying to virtue signal. There’s a lot more nuance to my reasoning to leave the traditional VC game. All of them led me to declaring it fundamentally incompatible wi…

“Our theoretical framework captures how entrepreneurs facing minor, wide, and extreme expectation-reality gaps engage in evermore sophisticated efforts to detach the venture’s exte…

I'm guessing the number of non-developer Apple users is at least an order of magnitude larger than the developer users. So, no, I don't think developers can vote with their wallet …

That I agree with.

Correct, but it's another domino in a broader trend that appears to have a common root. It was only a year ago that the moderation team mass resigned pointing the finger at the ste…

I really don't think these issues are necessarily "systemic" in the sense that they've been ongoing for the last decade. I _was_ a long-time contributor until about two years ago w…

It can become really complex. As an example, try to predict resonant frequencies on an entire plant full of rotating equipment. It can be done, but it often requires very expensive…

There's at least one customer out there who has an RPi with NixOS on it from me. Probably still works to this day. It was the best use of NixOS I think I've ever found.

A lot of PLC controllers can certainly be unforgiving. I mentioned overflowing a 16 bit float point because that's exactly what happened at a waste water treatment plant I was call…

We once reversed engineered Schneider Electric's ION protocol because they wanted to charge us $10k per "seat" to get software that could interact with it directly. We took home a …

Yes, I don't mean to poke fun solely on the integrators. I've seen the "software first" type land in the same role and flail just as hard, if not harder. I recall one individual, w…

Yes, the fortune 50 company I spoke of was running some of the most advanced data centers in the world. There was literally a team of world class IT specialists walking the same co…

Part of my career encapsulates a period where I was a PLC programmer, installer, commissioner, and troubleshooter for massive build outs (sky scrapers, data centers, laboratories, …

In my last SRE role I was the unfortunate victim of having to maintain a mobile app submitted to both the Android and iOS app stores. I would never wish it on my worst enemy. It wa…

First time hearing of Omnigent. Anyone have experience using it?

We should probably spend some time making sure that _existing_ taxes are being used efficiently before we start funneling in even more.

Glad I'm not crazy. This is exactly the behavior I've witnessed over the years.

No, you're trying to egg me into a political conversation on HN, and I'm refusing. I thought that was pretty clear in the last comment.

I've had plenty of political conversations on HN before. I've literally been on the platform for almost a decade. It's always been bent one way - which makes political dialogue a p…
