Thanks you!

Very interesting. it's been brought up in the context of the wider community, so definitely something we are considering.

Thanks! Yes, you can bulk add, we pull in the data as you sign up.

We're looking at thresholds to stop malicious behaviour but at the moment will manually police it until it becomes too much.

We are also rolling out a way to show which skills you have in a project - so perhaps you want to mainly support architecture or training rather than code review - that will come soon, which may help with the original author point.

I'd love to make our scoring system really robust, and that is the plan, eventually!

Hey! We're working on the thresholding - it's hard because some projects have 20 contributions total but we're looking at ways to balance contributions vs length of service vs age of commits vs lines of code. For now, contributions and Rank for a repo is a simple enough way to understand but I'd like to make sure we don't end up with Experts with 1 commit in 100 repos!

Great ideas. Trust is at the heart of what we're doing here, so I'd love to see this come into fruition.

Hi foxhop - at the moment, yes. We've had conversations with people about GitLab, Gitea, BitBucket, SourceHut and others and we'd like to support them, and self hosted, in time. For now we're constrained by resources though so I can't put a timeline on other services!

Hey dvarrazzo - we're making a real effort to talk to the developer side when we're structuring contracts and at the moment (until it's unscalable) will be manually involved (behind the scenes) in each one to make sure it fits. Getting this right is absolutely vital - a balanced contract that serves both parties equally is the only way I see of retaining good customers and incredible talent. If you have any other thoughts or want to discuss at length I'd be happy to hear - email in my bio!

One of the medallists went to (equivalent of) high school with me - seeing his name pop up was... a surprise.

Going through similar, and waking up to the 15 seconds of blissful ignorance followed by devastating clarity is the worst part in many ways.

A brand in the UK called Clarence Court started producing a range of eggs (maybe a decade ago?) that have an intensely orange yolk [1] and this became a real differentiator, in some ways an indicator of quality. I know when an egg is Clarence Court in a restaurant for instance (and have confirmed numerous times). They are also delicious eating.

The effect is so profound that supermarket own brands have now also started producing similarly richly-orange-yolked eggs.

A lot of what is said here is true, but it also depends on what your position is within the organisation - if you are senior (or a peer) and have the respect of your colleagues then you can look at running a training session, followed by writing a piece of an application/a sprint using TS so that they can familiarise themselves with the reasons why it is better.

Which is really the second part of this - you need to spell out why typescript will make their life easier/better. If you can't do that succinctly then it is unlikely that you will be able to convince them.

I used to have this mindset... but then I realised that even if they charge e.g. $25 to a local and $50 to me, I'm not personally worse off.

There is little benefit to me in bargaining my way down to $25 - yeah they might think they've conned me, but (as long as it's not factory made junk) I'm happy to pay $50 for something that I like, even if I could negotiate it down to $25. The $25 saved simply doesn't mean that much to me in the grand scheme of things, but most likely does to them.

I have no comment (or knowledge) on the product, but appreciate the way you described this. It was similar, albeit a little more technical, to Matt Levine’s brilliant simplified explanations of technical financial subjects.

This is partially correct but depends on presentation - I tracked a phone to a house, they said they couldn't help because it wasn't accurate enough, I said I was going to knock on the door and demand it back, they turned up in ~3 minutes and recovered it for me, arresting the person who had it at the same time. Because I presented it as "I am going to put myself in danger to recover this item" they were duty bound to act. Still didn't help much as it was held as evidence for literally months.

I wouldn’t say this is radical, I think PG wrote an essay years ago with this as the core thesis!

My favourite story about this is from when I worked at an Agritech company - we were working with two systems using different orders - we discovered a highstreet store had the same issue when we discovered a bunch of their stores just off the Seychelles on Google Maps: https://thoeni.io/images/hnlondon/pundstretcher.png

I think this is part of the case isn’t it? Amazon has been given a special deal whereby you can currently do exactly that on their prime app. I think it changed a year or so ago to allow that

This is a meta comment but I think something is a bit squiffy with the timestamps on HN at the moment - your reply was apparently sent before the comment you are replying to and then the tooltip timestamp shows as you can see (and the reply page here says your comment was 17 hours ago).

Hey dalmo3. You replied to a question I asked a while ago but I can't reply directly to you there. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24486487). Thank you for that reply. I solved exactly what you asked for. My email is in my profile if you want to know more.

This is great. @deepbuilder I’d love to chat more on this, my email is in my profile if you would be willing to.

This site is unreadable on mobile[0] and the content is very short:

Nuclear Detection System The Nuclear Detonation (NUDET) Detection System (NDS) consists of space, control, and user equipment segments. The space segment consists of NUDET detection sensors on the GPS satellites. The Department of Defense and DOE now have a full constellation of 24 GPS satellites in 10,900-nautical-mile orbits capable of detecting and locating nuclear detonations worldwide, 24 hours a day.

The NDS provides a worldwide, highly survivable capability to detect, locate, and report any nuclear detonations in the earth's atmosphere or near space and in near real time. The NDS supports NUDET detection requirements for AFSPC (Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment [ITWAA]), USSTRATCOM (Nuclear Force Management), and AFTAC (Treaty Monitoring).

The NDS control segment consists of ground control hardware and software known as the Integrated Correlation and Display System (ICADS). The user equipment segment consists of the Ground NDS Terminals (GNT).

The Lockheed-Martin Sandia Advanced Radiation Detection Capability Data Unit (ARDU) was delivered to the Air Force during FY94 and the Integrated Correlation and Display System (ICADS) began operations for the tactical warning and attack assessment community. The ARDU processes nuclear detonation (NUDET) detection data from sensors on the Defense Support Program satellites and creates a NUDET report. ICADS correlates the ARDU report with analogous data from sensors on the Global Positioning System satellites and creates overall assessment displays for Air Force operators. These reports are forwarded to national command authorities over a wide area network.

There is a delightfully awful feature in audis where you can draw letters on a sort of touchpad and it works out what they are correctly a good 10% of the time. It's a cool tech I guess, but a really quite awful idea for cars, both in terms of UX and keeping concentration on the road.

Great work on launching! I would be interested to know who the target market is - if you’re technically competent enough to know your react from your vue how likely are you to use a visual builder? I’m speaking from a technical background, but also webflow etc haven’t clicked for me so maybe I just prefer the had way. The airtable integrations etc; I know people who would LOVE that and wish they could run their entire lives from the platform so that’s a winner. Sort of in the same way as you used to see people pushing excel to be the “everything” tool, people are now doing with airtable, so giving a nice front end of just running the site out of there is great. Well done guys!

They're quite cleverly leveraging the invites to give them exponential growth, so it has exploded this month - it looks like everyone is being given 2 invitations. I'm London based and signed up for the waitlist in maybe September last year and then forgot about it - someone I know bumped me up at the weekend (which doesn't cost an invitation). Within 2 days of my joining I'd say about 10 other people in my contacts have joined too. I'd say it's less big names and more FOMO.

Interestingly the person who bumped me up appears to have had an outsized effect on which rooms I see.

The reply that's missing for you is that the UI is clearly (to an iPadOS user) heavily inspired by that of the iPad - they are making that the selling point:

> iPadOS-like UI and UX

And WRT your other comments, you're probably not the target for this. I run dozens of Linux machines for work stuff but everything in my personal ecosystem is Apple because I don't find config fun. Different horses for different courses.

Can confirm with this, when we approached Apple on MDM they all but opened an account for us with JAMF.

It looks like YC pulls in the company descriptions from a third party service - which means that the Loom described here is not _actually_ the Loom that went through YC

That was a blast from the past. I can’t remember exactly but I think I went Frontpage -> Dreamweaver -> Notepad++ -> Sublime -> VSCode and obviously the other tooling only grew to be more complex (whilst improving sanity). I’m not sure I long for the days of plesk + cPanel etc but I hadn’t thought of all of that nonsense for years. A very different time!
