My iPhones usually got janky after using tons of apps but always after jailbreaking them (and installing yet more apps). Same with Android. Stay clean on mobile!

I appreciate and agree with lots of your commentary, but just wanted to point out that Messages on the web is a thing now via https://messages.google.com/ and scanning a QR code in the Messages app. (It's one of the things I was looking for after leaving the iMessage ecosystem.)

It's a good thing the post is a teaching tool and not documentation!

I wish there was more content about that on HN in general.

The book On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins was a fantastic read on HTM and similar concepts. (https://amzn.to/2JyQDF3)

Super scratch-notes version:

- Use sendgrid to send emails, it'll be free at your usage

- Make the login form only accept an email address, dont risk saving passwords, display a generic "if you signed up you'll get an email soon" message on submission for all values.

- Whitelist your buddies' emails, send them a link to login with. Ignore the rest.

- The link can be a UUID without the dashes or something similarly sufficiently random (could sha1 hash the time and be good enough for your purposes). yourdomain.com/login/somesufficientlyrandomandlongkey

- Save that key in the DB, that's effectively the password. Delete stuff after a while so they have to re-login.

Feel free to hit me up on Keybase or whatever (details in my profile) if you want to follow up in detail.

Unfortunately, I found this wholly unconvincing. I sincerely doubt it is a grand ideal, carefully thought-out, or well-funded. Expecting an idealized set of well-crafted axioms for accessing public spaces with demand outstripping supply at an accelerated pace will almost certainly lead to disappointment. "Special knowledge" can be as simple as knowing the right person to befriend to add your name to a list. The example of regressing to ancient non-internet fax instead of even straightforward USPS snail mail tells me they don't have the correct answer either.

I think all of the above should be the expected experiences, including expecting poor customer service and shopping at stores on Black Friday and subpar dining on Valentines. Businesses are human and every business has their most stressful periods, knowing that can help you time your interactions (especially when you need perfection or complicated requirements).

Great work on the book and RubyMotion!

The envelopes are not prepaid in Oregon either, that was an oops. (Or, at least they aren't in Washington and Clackamas counties!)

A friend's software company has seen very low turnover by increasing retirement benefits by an order of magnitude and sinking them into SEP IRAs.

I don't think a parking lot in rural Bend (or any rural American town) is the best example to use. People in Bend are going to rely on cars a lot more than people in downtown Portland and property is likely cheaper + regulated less.

Here's the first lot I found in Portland... nice, waterfront parking!

I wish ScreenHero would get open-sourced or at least fully supported as a separate piece of software. I actually think it's pretty perfect in it's current feature set.

I was blown away when it got axed so fast. The multi-mouse capability was the coolest thing and made the tool fit my needs like none had before. It's the best!

I get to use ScreenHero on the rare occasion these days, and it's still a joy every time. I want to use it for every screen share.

Having support for personal and Slack accounts within ScreenHero would be amazing.

I found this story by checking Google for updates in the news... sounds like the TSA has reversed course:

It might be. For example, I'm in the US and my friends that /work for Apple/ can't figure out how to get me a Korean keyboard like http://www.apple.com/kr/shop/product/MB110KH/.

Pypi isn't the source-of-record for Ansible releases...

Need something that's like Medium + Reddit. Medium could do for blog posts what Reddit did for links.

Reading the other reply thread with slowerest gave me another possible solution, too.

Perhaps the comments sections for journalistic pieces from organizations like Ars, NPR, NYT, local news, etc could be more of a competition (like Slashdot). Top 300 comments get preserved, leave it open for a month with no comment limit and some light moderation, and let the conversation go wild (I like Reddit's system for this), then delete all but the top 300 at the end.

Adjust "300" and "top" to fit your organization's needs, just make sure they're clearly defined. Would also help limit the scope for an ML-based solution, too. :)

A while back I made an easy-to-remember Bitly link for a YouTube video of a law school lecture featuring a law professor and his criminal investigator (police-side) friend that totally backs up your point.

Enjoy! https://bit.ly/dont_talk_to_police

In a comment thread about somebody donating? You must be disappointed often.

Slight nitpick at "devote significant space"... AI: A Modern Approach is a 1000+ page book, 3.5 pages is a footnote by comparison.

Just in case others are looking at Blades...

My 2012 blade went in for repairs several times and has the worst keyboard I've ever used on a laptop.

I don't know if they've improved their quality control any, but AFAIK they're still using terrible keyboards. Be careful and try one out before you commit!

Your old console ran the same code for years on end with no updates and no new features. Your phone's updating all the time. Thus, software TTL is much lower. (Software TTL for your console is determined by how long your cartridge serves up good data.)

Btw, green status gets you the free refills (5 store visits).

They're in the bottom footer of the blog.

Dave Thomas (one of the original agile signer peoples), gave this amazing talk criticizing modern, commercialized agile instead of the developer-focused way of "developing with agility".
