Ask HN: Is there an IDE for computer vision? 2 by awinter-py | 0 comments on Hacker News. How are people running their detection pipelines on video and overlaying the results? Is every project writing its own scaffolding for this? Is it mostly 'run command, generate new video'? Or is there a GUI / toolkit that's standard?

Ask HN: Should I pass on a new job because they want me to sign a non-compete? 9 by trentnix | 8 comments on Hacker News. I took a few months off after the birth of my third child and am looking for a new job. I found an opportunity with a great team at an interesting company but there was a catch. After receiving an offer, I inquired if they required a non-compete and sure enough, there is a 1-year non-compete with the following conditions: following the termination of my relationship with the Company for any reason, whether with cause or without cause, at the option either of the Company or myself, with or without notice ... any business in competition with the Company's business as conducted by the Company during the course of my employment with the Company I'm not a fan of non-competes generally but considering this was written to include any business that the Company believes is a competitor (no idea what kind of scope that entails) and asserts enforcement irrespective

Ask HN: What Happened to Franchises? 2 by ohiovr | 0 comments on Hacker News. I don't see many people here post a show hn about a franchise business and plans they are offering. There are so many creative DIY technologies. I remember my dad explaining franchises to me when I was about 14 in 1990. I think it could be cool to have be either a franchisor or a franchisee. Well for me a franchisee because I rarely succeed in business. Low volume custom manufacturing of high precision parts would be interesting. Unfortunately I think there is no demand for something like this. So the little guy wanting to take advantage of all this wonderful creative technology cannot really do so to support his shop. He needs thousands of dollars of revenue per month. How could he do that and also pay and come up with genius marketing to make people ever even ring the phone, or order and pickup or ship an item? Maybe their could be parametric design tools for certain parts. Enter power, weight, effic

Ask HN: How do you deel with loneliness when WFH alone? 4 by throwAwayWFH873 | 1 comments on Hacker News. I find myself basically under a 3rd lock-down/curfew, working from home, single with friends scattered. Basically, besides work related zoom meetings and the occasional hello exchanged with the delivery guy, my social interactions have been forcibly reduced to zero. I'm sure other people are in the same boat, and would love to hear how you're tackling this?

Ask HN: fsf.org and gnu.org are both down, anyone knows why? 2 by gtsop | 0 comments on Hacker News. Wanted to read some resources on fsf.org and saw it's down, as well as gnu.org. Wondering if it's a simple outage or something more than that. https://ift.tt/3bLgYwZ https://ift.tt/3dYdnhN

Ask HN: How do you deal with intolerance to criticism? 4 by trwhite | 2 comments on Hacker News. I have a colleague who doesn't like receiving criticism. We're both software developers. He's a little younger and a little less experienced than me but I don't concern myself with that. My goal is to deliver value to the business and produce good work. Last year this colleague told me the feedback I gave him in PRs crossed a line and I've since gone to great lengths to think about I deliver it. I actually think I'm very respectful and considerate in how I present it. Invariably I just ask him what he thinks about other solutions. We spoke about this again last week and I reminded him that there wasn't any judgement in the feedback I was giving him; that part of my job is to criticise his work but that in no way do I consider it a reflection of his ability. Some of the time he acknowledges that his work could be improved but in most instances however he's

Ask HN: Always on low power home server 9 by tails4e | 4 comments on Hacker News. I'd like to build a low power (ideally fanless) server for home automation, data logging, etc, (possibly) pihole, and kodi server, etc running Linux. I've used Rpi in the past, but the sd cards wear out/go bad and I inevitably have to rebuild. Is there a low power/cost way of having a SBC paired with an SSD, or an alternative solution that anyone could recommend?

Ask HN: Am I blowing an acquihire offer? 4 by HNadvice | 5 comments on Hacker News. My side project that did $40K net income in 2020 received an acquihire offer in writing today. The acquirer offered a 1-year revenue share of 35% (which would act as the asset purchase for my side project) and a full-time employment offer at $160K/year + benefits. I initially asked for $185K/year which is the salary my current employer has been paying me for the past two years but then they rescinded the offer verbally saying I just wanted a job and was not being entrepreneurial. Now with the written offer, I just asked for revenue share projections and / or minimums to be specified so I know what kind of money to expect and make sure I don't make less than what I already do. Is this kind of structure typical with acquihires? By negotiating like this, am I in danger of blowing this offer (again)? HN's thoughts on this is greatly appreciated!

Ask HN: How did you decide between management and technical track? 2 by ganashaw | 1 comments on Hacker News. I'm trying to think about where I see myself in the future, and am struggling to decide between the management track vs. staying an individual contributor. I feel I have the skills to realistically pursue either, and I enjoy aspects of both, but am having trouble figuring out which I'd personally prefer. Any insights greatly appreciated!

Ask HN: How is Clubhouse allowed to be on the App Store? 2 by newbie578 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I just tried downloading Clubhouse on my iPad, and I noticed I cannot do anything with it, since I do not have an invite. Isn't this breaking ToS of the App Store? Wasn't Hey by Basecamp rejected from the App Store for the very same reason? Since the app has basically no function if you don't have an invite, and you cannot register for it inside the app? Would love to hear someone explain to me how is that possible.

Ask HN: How does a private, nearly-inactive Twitter account get suspended? 3 by erichocean | 2 comments on Hacker News. My Twitter account got suspended today. I've had it since 2008, and it's under my real name. (Years ago, I was offered the option to get "Verified" by Twitter.) My account has been private for years. I haven't tweeted in years, though occasionally I will like someone's tweet. I don't accept new followers and haven't in years. I also think it's unlikely any of my legacy followers would have reported me. I do NOT think I have "liked" a tweet from an account that was later suspended. (I generally only like CS-related accounts—mostly 3D graphics, machine learning, etc. and occasionally, sports. Definitely nothing political or remotely controversial.) I have NOT gotten an email from Twitter about the suspension. Any ideas? I'm at a loss to discover what may have caused it, or even what to do. They are NOT asking for my

Ask HN: How do you store your TV/Movie collection? 2 by flancrest | 0 comments on Hacker News. As I've gotten older, I've moved away from physical copies (VHS, DVDs) to local files (usually pirated, played via VLC), to eventually streaming and iTunes-style cloud purchases, for the convenience, legality, and media quality. I'm thinking of splitting the difference however and looking for Blu Rays with digital download codes, as I miss both the immediacy of physical media and not having a software gatekeeper. What's your setup?

Ask HN: Managing Focus and Energy 5 by Coolandschooled | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! Looking for some of your wise thoughts about a current dilemma of mine. I am on my way forward in life but I feel somewhat burned out and have started to lose focus while doing tasks. I feel like I have way too much going on to get really good at one or a few things. Currently, I am in the middle of grad school, I own a fairly succesful blog related to my field of studies, I have a few side-projects going on (one with other stakeholders), I dabble in trading stocks and crypto, I volunteer every now and then... And I have a girlfriend and family that also want some of my time and energy. I want to transition to a simpler life but I am having a really hard time saying "No" to the above things. Afterall they were deliberately added to my life because I enjoy them. I am already on the "no SoMe and digital minimalism"-wave so there is really not that many other things to cut out

Can you tell someone what you did today? 4 by agomez314 | 4 comments on Hacker News. In The Gutenberg Galaxy, the story goes of how, "Tzu-Gung was traveling through the regions...he saw an old man working in his vegetable garden. He had dug an irrigation ditch. The man would descend into the well, fetch up a vessel of water and pour it out into the ditch...the results appeared to be very meagre. Tzu-Gung said...Take a wooden lever, weighted at the back and light at the front. In this way you can bring up water so quickly that it just gushes out. This is called a draw-well. Then anger rose up in the old man's face and he said, 'I have heard my teacher say that whoever uses machines grows a heart like a machine, and he who carries the heart of a machine...becomes unsure in the strivings of his soul...It is not that I do not know of such things; I am ashamed to use them'". I don't think we have to take such an extreme position as this old man, but there is tru

Ask HN: How do you differentiate between Real anxiety and “Fake” anxiety 4 by pawannitj | 4 comments on Hacker News. So, this is how I define two type of anxieties: Real anxiety : My brain is telling me that I am not capable of dealing with the situation I am getting into. For example let's say the project I am given in my company is way above my skill set, so my brain is giving me fair warning and maybe I can take this warning and be prepared better (learn more on required skill?) "Fake" anxiety : This is my brain just being lazy and always wanting to stay in its comfort zone. For example, the project I am given is not that complex but is new, so even then my brain will have anxiety and would like to get out of it. Imposter syndrome might be another reason for this anxiety. The problem is how to classify any upcoming anxieties in these two buckets so that I can push through one and accept/backout in the other one. Do you have some mental model for this? Also do you al

Ask HN: What are your favourite micro blogs? 2 by uallo | 1 comments on Hacker News. I don't have to time to read all those detailed blog posts about interesting topics. I feel that many blogs bloat their overly-lengthy posts with a soup of keywords to improve SEO while making them annoying to read. I'm looking for good micro blogs that post short, to the point articles. I like when they link their sources and further reading material on the topic. And if they provide a feed I can subscribe to, I might even read them.

Ask HN: As a software engineer, how do I best learn basic network engineering? 3 by ksd482 | 2 comments on Hacker News. Is there a "System Design Primer" equivalent for network engineering for application developers? In school I never took networking class and I never had to use any of the networking utilities/commands at job beyond a simple telnet to check of host/port is reachable. I have looked into youtube videos --- but they are all too abstract and tend to go into enough depth only many videos later. I have looked into coursera courses --- same deal as youtube videos. So, to summarize the problem with all these tutorials seems to be too much time commitment -- unfortunately I don't have that much time. Perhaps a good tutorial would be something that would be a hands-on tutorial based on several scenarios. Any advice? Thanks PS: it's embarrassing to admit I have more than 10 years of experience and I still don't know the basics of network engineering.

Shopify employees accessed customer databases without authorization 4 by synunlimited | 0 comments on Hacker News. Got this email from Fangamer about Shopify earlier today. ---- Dear Fangamer customer, Shopify, the company whose software runs the Fangamer store (and more than a million others online), has informed us that an internal security event it has been investigating since late last year included Fangamer customer data. Information regarding customer financial accounts and payment cards was not affected, but we are writing to make you aware of the situation. According to Shopify, certain members of its support team used their Shopify credentials to obtain archived customer data from several hundred stores without authorization. The team members accessed data associated with order fulfillment — names, addresses, email addresses, cart contents, and phone numbers — but did not access or acquire any financial-account or payment-card information. We are extremely frustrated and so

Ask HN: Anybody want to work on something together? 5 by codingbuddy | 6 comments on Hacker News. I'm starting to feel a bit lonely and less motivated than ever before. If anybody feels the same way and wants to collaborate on a project or even just chat about some ideas let me know in the comments. Now feels like a great time to be building and not just consuming! I've struggled to meet like-minded people and this has become harder with lockdown for me. I haven't found a good forum for doing so and having been on hackernews for the last decade I figured why not post here. I'm a data scientist by day and have worked in finance, healthcare, and public policy. For fun I like to work on a wide range of side-projects using python and django/flask but would be open to trying something new and even non-technical.

Ask HN: How to secure hardware? any existing solutions? 3 by tornadofart | 0 comments on Hacker News. I want to prevent counterfeit hardware from being used in a machine. The solution should be stand-alone,so independent from the existence of a network. I have a vague idea, but I'm not sure. You could have one microcontroller on each side exchanging encrypted messages over rfid, for instance. How would I approach this? Do solutions already exist? I am by no means a security expert.

Ask HN: Are you using asynchronous video at work? 4 by albertkoz | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi, Disclaimer - I am building https://birdslate.com - an asynchronous video communication for remote teams. I've spent many years working in the videoconference space and this is my second startup in that domain. Now I am focusing all my effort on building an async video chat. I believe this is a form of communication that will sit somewhere between Zoom and Slack, yet it is not meant to replace either of them. In recent years, I've noticed that people often switch from video calls to recorded videos (e.g. for standups). I wonder if any of you is already using video messages in an asynch way, and whether you see any downfalls to it. For me the biggest pro is not being tied to a schedule, yet having the ability to hear and see the other person. I don't see many cons, but then again, I am obviously biased. I would appreciate any input on it.
