another benefit of not using UUID:

for AI heavy apps/agent they are token expensive

Re:Fusuma – Make slides with MarkDown easily on Friday May 10, 2019 @09:48AM (#19877649)
Nice questions!

I use DeckSet since a lot of years, I find it easy to use and I love the result. I don’t care about multi platform because I’m doing my presentation on a Mac. I don’t care paying fair prices to software.

The only downside I found was the lack of customization offered.

I’ll look into the GitHub list, especially to the 2 others macOS apps

Re:Fusuma – Make slides with MarkDown easily on Thursday May 09, 2019 @09:45AM (#19868208)
On macOS, I strongly recommend DeckSet[0]. It's a Keynote/Powerpoint from Markdown, especially valuable when you embed code in your presentations.

While I agree on your point, your comment made me smile as I’m reading HN using a mobile app
They've just posted an "Incident Report": https://blog.github.com/2018-10-21-october21-incident-report...

> Multiple services on GitHub.com were affected by a network partition and subsequent database failure resulting in inconsistent information being presented on our website. Out of an abundance of caution we have taken steps to ensure the integrity of your data, including pausing webhook events and other internal processing systems.

Further, this incident only impacted website metadata stored in our MySQL databases, such as issues and pull requests.

You should try Citymapper!
I think the point was something like “constraint forces creativity”

Ask HN: Should we use Lambda (Google Cloud Functions) for our API?

Hi HN,I need you.I'd like to know what is the current state of the art regarding the use of serverless paradigm for API endpoints.Context: We currently use Google Cloud Functions for our API. Our startup is young, and just the 2 cofounders are working on it. Our product is a consumer iOS app. The backend is something we don't have a lot of time to dedicate yet. ~1k DAU ~5k Daily API...

Try `Game.RuinTheFun()`
Yes. For those you often switch (eg Atom > Chrome > Atom). O(1) access FTW.

I use Spotlight for app I launch but don't really switch Mostly CSGO, Heroes of The Storm, Mumble and TS (Games!)

Actually I use shortcut a lot more for switching than for launching. For instance I launch atom from iTerm. A standard flow could be code, test, terminal commit, chat on Slack/IRSSI, IDE.

If you like speed as much as I do :

1. Total Space. Setup shortcuts and disable transitions

2. Disable (or speed up) OSX animation (I don't have the commands on my phone, just Google it)

3. iTerm and window splitting (Cmd d) and switch (Cmd [ or ])

4. And The REAL time saver : Keyboard Maestro Create at least one macro per app. I assigned shortcuts like

Cmd Shift L - iTerm

Cmd Shift / - Atom

Cmd Shift ' - Chrome

Ctrl Shift < - Finder

Ctrl Shift M - Mailbox

And so (Xcode, Slack etc.)

Then I pur each app in fullscreen (Ctrl Cmd F).

Now I have O(1) access over my computer \o/

Edit: disclaimer I'm a vim user

Re:HockeyApp Joins Microsoft on Thursday December 11, 2014 @10:29AM (#8735233)
My comment would apply to any acquisition. If I'd use an analytics tool for Facebook acquired by Twitter, I'll take 10 minutes to think about it.

I'm not anti-MS. I was one of the first to make Windows Phone apps. I like a lot Nadela, but do you know how many time will he stay MS CEO?

As I said, MS is not only interested in Windows Phone but win a lot of money with Android.

We probably continue to use HockeyApp but I'm not fan of the "don't ask questions that may hurt" bashing here.

Re:HockeyApp Joins Microsoft on Thursday December 11, 2014 @10:14AM (#8735129)
I agree with that, but things may be different in 2 years. And MS is also the company that gains the most money with each Android phone sold.
Re:HockeyApp Joins Microsoft on Thursday December 11, 2014 @10:12AM (#8735117)
Why downvotes? I'm only asking questions. Yes, MS strategy is cross-plateform. Now. But in a few years, who knows what MS goals will be?

IMO, taking 10 minutes to think about is not lost time.

Re:HockeyApp Joins Microsoft on Thursday December 11, 2014 @10:03AM (#8735053)
I'm not sure it is a good news.

In one hand it's great to hear that Analytics will be added and cross support is still important.

But in the other hand, it puts developers in inconfortable position. Should we still use HockeyApp for our iOS apps? Depend on a tool owned by a concurrent of your target platform is not so safe on a long term sight..
