Thank you

Would you be open to sharing the code?

@sqfmi is there any chance that we might/could get a blackberry client for beeper? it would give all those old blackberrys sitting in drawers a new life and might actually help with growth of beeper as well.

Do these limitations also apply to the newer Thunderbolt based usb c ports? If you can’t tell I really miss target display mode and wish a wired cross platform ideally open source solution existed to use any computer as a second monitor.

Anyone know of a scrcpy for windows/mac/Linux? If not, why has there not been a “wired” screen mirroring tool for desktop os? Is it just more difficult than doing it for android?

Go to 27:52 to see the machine in action. Such smooth movement and the features he shows for the next 30 mins are so cool.

Having used it what are your thoughts on whether Jets replaces rails vs using alongside rails for certain types of workloads?

I’m not entirely sure I wanted to see what HN thought. I was thinking if one’s already using rails+aws are there workloads that are not core app functionality, not frequent, but that when they run need to serve a large number of requests that Jets might be the right tool for the job?

I'm guessing it also helps keep deploys small (atomic?) when a controller method changes. The unmodified lambdas stay untouched.

Wondering why this framework isn't more talked about, especially amongst rails devs to take advantage of AWS Lambda.

Yes, and I see this phenomenon everywhere now. They completely ignore the explicit instructions we are giving and prioritize their “suggestions” instead. Facebook, Twitter with their default timeline views. On Twitch’s TV app it used to be one click from the main page to continue watching a video now it’s 5 clicks because they replace with suggested channels, recommended blah blah.

One can go blue in the face “quoting” terms on Amazon search but they’ll just show whatever they want anyways completely ignoring the exact terms entered. I’d prefer them to say “we couldn’t find any results for you” than to give me pages of useless results instead.

One of the best talks on the subject I've heard by Richard Rumelt author of "Good Strategy Bad Strategy" https://youtu.be/UZrTl16hZdk

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Wanted to use my 2012 imac as a second monitor for my MacBook and in the absence of target display mode decided to use NoMachine but couldn’t get resolution + separate display without a physical dummy hdmi plug. Thank you

I believe the technology behind Mighty is amazing, the people involved are amazing, the experience for it's users will be amazing.

I believe the underlying reason for HN's reaction to Mighty has almost nothing to do with any of the above. To the contrary, most of us probably feel that Mighty will be a raging success. But we don't actually like that at all. When I reflect on my own thoughts, the reasons my initial reaction is pessimistic are:

1. If Mighty makes badly designed/architected apps "fast", nobody will fix the underlying issues.

2. The internet will be amazing for the folks that can afford to pay $30-$50/month and all others will have to live with a sub-par experience because of #1

3. Some other company will come along and try to subsidize Mighty for all those that couldn't afford it but they'll monetize by advertising and further personal data collection.

4. Further lack of control over core software on our personal computers.

I fear that one day I'll visit a website with a message saying "This website runs best using Mighty".

There were similar sentiments when RSS blogs started moving to medium. Medium is amazing! but at some point medium needed to introduce a 3 item limit.

More and more of the internet which a lot of us remember as this open thing that no one owns is being siloed into privately owned.

I was recently thinking what it would take to do an open source, reasonable priced version of https://www.tonal.com/

i am curious, you are commenting on a post about secure postgres but after signing up for your service i see that the database i created is publicly available, on the standard port 5432, with the default postgres username. the only thing stopping me is a password, no certificate required. i am not a postgres expert but how is this not extremely insecure?

Does something like this exist for iOS, iPhone?

similar to the readability bookmarklet here:

https://www.readability.com/bookmarklets

for example: if an rdio page is already open, click the bookmarklet to see all the other services

a bookmarklet that worked on mobile browsers would be very useful.

The write up sounded great right up to the point when I started reading the comments.

It reminded me of the saying by Henry Ford "if I had asked my customers what they wanted they would have said a faster horse".

All those people are looking for a faster horse.

What worries me is that you don't mention if you have a Model T in mind.

My suggestion read those responses than destroy all record of them, they will be there somewhere in the back of your mind and that's ok. But build the first thing that comes to mind that was a real pain in the ass for you back in you agency days.

Good luck

get a github account make it impressive.

otherwise you're just that guy who calls himself a hacker and doesn't have an education either :)

maybe first start by criticizing it yourself to get the ball rolling? i find people are afraid to pick something apart out of politeness.

find opinionated people with a big mouth.

P.S. I'm opinionated with a big mouth but I'm not a hardcore programmer, little bit of ruby on rails, javascript, html, css

what's interesting is what a need there was in the market for such a project. just a good looking set of defaults that hackers can start using and make things look good. i think this thing will blow up if they add some mobile components too. getskeleton.com or cssgrid.net etc.
