I wrote GlowWorm ~20 years ago, duplicating much of the LittleSnitch functionality at the time.

I remember discovering remote kernel debugging across ethernet; it was magical.

Don't be making a mess in the HN echo chamber!

These I-talk-with-people-for-a-living perspectives on return-to-office are exactly why I have never wanted to be in an office setting. I get why the author wants to be in the office; he thrives on social interaction.
For all the ways that matter, find a more meaningful bar.
Re:Ask HN: Should you reply STOP to unwanted texts? on Tuesday October 01, 2024 @07:08AM (#41706843)
I tried that recently with some political texts. I do not recommend. It could be coincidental, but I suddenly started receiving a lot more political texts.

It might be true that I stopped receiving texts FROM THAT NUMBER, it's clearly the same organization spamming me from other numbers. Whatever. I'd rather get spam texts than robocalls.

LLMs have always been a parlor trick.

They're in their "Balmer era". They'll emerge one day when they find their Satya. Their boring and often agonizing existence will continue until then.
Like the Apple TV, I view the Mac Mini as an under-appreciated product that sees very little love from Apple. They're both great products at a decent price.

I have a mid-2012 quad-core Mac Mini that worked as a network file server until I replaced it very recently. It still works fine though. I'm almost a little sad at the thought of selling it.

I'd start by dropping the message that he's on the "wrong side of this issue." It's clear that many people believe that's very much up for debate. Right or wrong though, he'll certainly anger one group or the other with his vocal position. That's the real issue.

If he took your position on the matter and was similarly vocal, would you have the same concern?

If you have a device on which you can run my app (streamie.co), it’ll record your camera 24/7 to a NAS or S3 and write out .mov files (also ten minute segments), but they’d be trivially combined with ffmpeg. As long as you don’t need more than three cameras, it’s all free.
This is a hysterical take when every interaction with a cop involves interacting with someone who has a gun, but clearly that’s okay…? Because cops are always peaceful and judicious?

Re:Ask HN: Anyone using a Quest Pro instead of monitors? on Tuesday November 01, 2022 @09:25PM (#33430317)
This is the future I’m waiting for.
Streamie (streamieapp.com), which started its life as CameraMan (macOS only), was my DIY solution for getting my security cameras on my desktop computer. Later, when tvOS (Apple TV) finally added VideoToolbox support, I had a much better platform to target for such things.

I started dabbling with this project in 2014. It’s a full time endeavor these days. I become _very_ uncomfortable when I think about how I’d react if I lost all copies of the source code. I don’t think I’d try to start over.

...that I can use for free to build a Mac app that won't run without security warnings, or to test in a simulator -- otherwise I have to pay $100/yr. The 30% tax brings no value.
I wonder if they had to use SwiftUI.
Similarly, I searched for the name of my product (Streamie) and just got porn results.
Re:Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database? on Monday April 25, 2022 @09:09AM (#31153976)
Yes, via Bedrock (bedrockdb.com) for Streamie (streamieapp.com). No complaints.
