ryduh··on Built: A tool to score kids' movies scene-by-scene using subtitles and LLMs
Thanks for this. We've been stuck w/ the same couple "safe" movies so this is helpful! What are your 'safe' movies?
ryduh··on OpenAI is too cheap to beat
Is this a guess or is it informed by facts?
ryduh··on Vanilla PHP or Framework?
Laravel has wayyy too much built in to consider using vanilla PHP. To me the question is rather why would you want to use vanilla PHP?
ryduh··on Ask HN: My company is being acquired. Should I move from CA to NV prior signing?
I think you'd need to spend more than 50% of the year living in NV to not have to pay CA taxes so you might be stuck paying CA income taxes on it anyway.
ryduh··on Tempe Police Release Video of Uber Accident
I love our 2017 Outback w/ EyeSight. Luckily, we haven't had to test the auto braking system at high speeds but the lane assist and assisted cruise control are wonderful.
ryduh··on Ask HN: Who's switched from Chrome to Firefox 57?
Whoa. Didn't know about that. Definitely going to give FF a shot now. Thanks!
ryduh··on How to read CC data from MagTek reader into web form?
The MagTek reader acts as a USB HID (aka a keyboard). When the cursor focus is put on a text field and you swipe a card, the MagTek device acts as if someone typed each character into the field. Then the javascript detects that and parses it out
ryduh··on How to read CC data from MagTek reader into web form?
Hi s1pml3, yes, it's possible. Check out https://jsfiddle.net/KurtWM/tgeWn/

phppointofsale.com uses that code. Check out their demo. They swiping cards and breaking out the code into separate input fields.

ryduh··on Launch HN: Sudden Coffee (YC W17) – Instant coffee that doesn't suck
Hi Kalle, I love my daily pour over, so I might not be your target market, but I'd definitely be interested in purchasing a few coffees without a subscription. Have you thought about offering that?
ryduh··on "should be required reading for every SaaS founder & funder“ - The Developer CEO
Hey there, I think the url you submitted is wrong. You're missing a w in www. Here's a correct link:

https://www.teamwork.com/blog/peter-coppinger-developerceo-r...

Haven't read it yet, but I'm about to :)

ryduh··on Ask HN: Breaking up with Cofounders. Next steps?
Coming at it from a different angle, what claim do the other owners have on your code? You own all code you write unless you do it under a work-for-hire agreement or have assigned ownership under an agreement like this one: https://www.upcounsel.com/intellectual-property-assignment-a...

Talking to a lawyer will be your best bet though.

ryduh··on Ask HN: Breaking up with Cofounders. Next steps?
Did you sign an agreement saying that the code you have written is owned by the LLC? By your statement that you haven't signed anything my thought is no. Which means you still own the code & the IP.
ryduh··on Ask HN: Getting Clients That Are Clients of Another Agency
Just because a site was built by an agency doesn't mean that the client still has a relationship with them. Reach out to the website owners and see if they would be interested in talking about a redesign.
ryduh··on Ask HN: Someone offered to buy my browser extension from me. What now?
I've used escrow.com for domain sales and can vouch for them. Not exactly sure how they work for selling IP/source code though.
ryduh··on Ask HN: Transitioning from contractor to full-time employee
You're obviously worth $50 an hour, if not more. I say that you should expect $50 an hour * 40 hours a week. Don't forget that if you transition to a FTE, you won't be able to claim as many (or any) business tax deductions. You need to ask yourself why they want to hire you as a FTE. It's probably to pay you less than your current hourly rate.
ryduh··on Ask HN: What email client do you use on OS X?
I've been using Postbox for a while now. It's nice. I don't love it.
ryduh··on Show HN: Omniflow – Structure for your thoughts
I love Workflowy and this looks like a direct copy. The keyboard shortcuts do feel a little cleaner on Omniflow though. I especially like the Control Enter to mark an item as completed.
ryduh··on Ask HN: Individual and team email addresses for a domain
I setup SeedWise on MailGun and then created forwarding rules for the team emails. Might want to check that out
ryduh··on How to file income taxes as a freelance developer?
I personally use Quickbooks. It's not all that complicated and it's what your CPA will want. If you don't already have a CPA yet, that should be your first step.
ryduh··on Runtime environment for consultants
I've been acting as a one-man consulting agency for a while, and I've had a desire to take on larger projects but don't want to hire employees. A co-op type of situation seems like what I'd want to build and open sourcing this will definitely help me and others like me. Thanks Crisp!
ryduh··on Balanced payments is shutting down
I'm so bummed about this. We choose Balanced for www.seedwise.com specifically for its per order escrow feature. We'll be missing that in Stripe as we move over.
ryduh··on Ask HN: Best place to find high paying freelance projects?
The best place is probably going to be your existing network. You know, the people that know your work ethic and the quality of your work. Past employers and past co-workers have contributed a big chunk of my projects.
ryduh··on Initial thoughts on the Rocket announcement
Makes more sense. Thanks!
ryduh··on Initial thoughts on the Rocket announcement
> While we disagree with some of the arguments and questionable rhetoric and timing of the Rocket announcement, we hope that we can all continue to be guided by what is best for users and developers.

What's he talking about regarding the timing of the announcement?

ryduh··on Ask HN: Photo web gallery hidden costs
What if you built the site so that he hosts his photos on Flickr or some third party service that will handle the bandwidth if it were ever to become an issue?
ryduh··on Ask HN: Best server log viewer for Mac?
Have you thought about using less/grep? What kind of analysis are you looking to do?
ryduh··on What is the best open source Hamachi alternative?
I haven't used it yet, but check out http://www.freelan.org/
ryduh··on Ask HN: Any alternatives to gmail?
I use fusemail.com and am fairly happy with them. They have a nice webmail interface but I mostly use a desktop/iphone mail client.
ryduh··on Ask HN: Which two books were the most influential on you?
Think & Grow Rich

How to Win Friends & Influence People

ryduh··on Anyone experiencing a reboot loop on iPhone 4S update to iOS 7 beta 2?
Yeah, I did. I put my phone into DFU mode with the instructions here http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/DFU_Mode and then restored back to 6.1.3. Good luck!
