Anyone wanna disrupt the roofing industry with me? YC W27, tagline "like uber but for roofing". roofies.ai?
Just curious, was this coded with Claude or Codex? Copy reads very Claude to me but I’m curious if thats an actual pattern or just me

As for similar products i think Komp from NoIsolation is pretty identical for the use case you’re talking about.

Disclaimer: I’m friends with the founders

It asks you what your coworkers are working on and whether the thing you are working on are your boss’ number one priority?

No, but Codex wouldn’t have asked you those questions either

This should be possible, go to Settings->Action Button->Controls and search for ChatGPT

I’m unsure if the same applies to older macbook screens, but I’ve found that polarized sunglasses help alot with reducing glare and the marks/dust on the retina screen. Combined with the HDR hacks you mentioned above I can sit in sun with sunglasses and still keep dark mode on while coding

Re:Ask HN: GitHub Copilot Alternatives on Thursday August 29, 2024 @09:30AM (#41390612)
Here's a version that keeps closer to the original text while fixing the main typos:

Very happy with https://supermaven.com. Switched to it from Copilot, and it's faster and has a much better understanding of what I'm trying to do. I think it uses a git diff + some other stuff that it feeds into the context window that makes it so that when I'm working on a new feature, when i’m creating say the 3rd it understands what I'm going to write even if the file is empty.

Extremely happy with supabase here, it has mostly eliminated the need for a backend, letting me just focus on making valuable stuff for my users. I also ended up making my entire app realtime just because it was easier

Re:Why Scalpers Can Get Olivia Rodrigo Tickets and You Can't on Saturday September 23, 2023 @08:13PM (#37628865)
Norway! I think it’s somewhat similar in the nearby countries, but I don’t know for sure. You’re not even allowed to add the ticketmaster fee to your reseller price, so it’s techincally cheaper to buy it second-hand
Re:Why Scalpers Can Get Olivia Rodrigo Tickets and You Can't on Saturday September 23, 2023 @05:49PM (#37627860)
I’m not going to speak on how this could be hard to implement in other countries, but in my country selling a ticket above the price it was bought for is illegal, and as a result (maybe there is other factors in in play but) it’s basically a non-issue here

Re:Why Tailwind CSS Won on Wednesday August 16, 2023 @07:31AM (#37145481)
I feel like people often forget the alternative, which is opening a component and have to read 200 lines of css (possibly spread out over several files)
Re:People don't work as much as they say on Saturday January 29, 2022 @04:40AM (#30125081)
I have an extension in VS Code that tracks time spent coding, and sends me a weekly summary. While I’m unsure how accurate the time algorithm is, on my “home office with no meetings” days it says I get around 5 hours of code time, which sounds about accurate. Interestingly it claims the the global average is 52 minutes, which I can definitely get on days with many interruptions.
Another way too look at it: Do you prefer backend, frontend, and databases to be separate teams, or should each team have ownership over their own backend, frontend, and db?
Meanwhile, I get so much spam on my hotmail account (from obvious spam addresses too) that I’ve had to switch to gmail. It seems both the false positive and false negative rate is sky-high.
I'm a hundred percent certain that 1 is what Spotify does. It seems every release they remove or hide features that I use occasionally (e.g. clicking on the currently playing album picture to reveal the active playlist). It's extremely frustrating that since power users now are in a minority they are completely ignored. At the first release like this they basically said "This new version has a lot less features, but you can vote on which ones we will add back!". They added none of the ones that got votes, and eventually removed the feature voting system altogether.
I feel like we will have successful no-code tools at the same time as we stop having lawsuits, when we have laws that have zero loop holes and correctly specifies how to handle 100% of edge cases. In other words, probably never.
I agree about the writing style of the article, and while I unfortunately don't have anything better than anecdotal evidence, while visiting some friends in my teens in England we were routinely approached by police while in public spaces, as loitering (or whatever they would call it) was illegal.
In england they just replaced it with other similar laws, which are commonly deployed against people the police don't like

I can't speak for what the rest of the industry does, but some chip manufacturers provide decent emulators, so you can run some tests there. We have also done some hardware tests where we connect our hardware to a raspberry pi or similar and run our CI there. It doesn't replace real-world testing, but it does get us some of the way there.
