New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Muse 2.0 with local-first sync
24 by adamwiggins | 81 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I want to share with you something I and my four colleagues have been working on for the last several years. It’s a whiteboarding and notes tool called Muse[1]. We just released a 2.0 version which includes local-first sync. A little backstory: I’m one of the authors of the 2019 essay Local-first software[2]. (Past HN discussions[3][4].) The thesis is to reclaim some of the ownership over our data that we’ve lost in the transition from filesystems to cloud/SaaS. So I’m excited to bring CRDT technology “out of the lab” and into a commercial product as a chance to prove the value of local-first in real-world usage. As a developer and computing enthusiast, I care about abstract ideas like data ownership. But for most users I think the benefits of local-first will surface in how it feels to use the software day-to-day. One example is ability to work offline or in unstable network conditions: any changes between devices will be automatically merged when you reconnect to the network, no matter how long you’ve been disconnected. Another area is performance. The sync backend was written by my colleague Mark McGranaghan who has written extensively about software performance[5][6] and why we think the cloud will never be fast enough to make truly responsive software. A few technical details: – Client-side CRDT written in Swift, streaming sync server written in Go – Sync server is generic, doesn’t have any knowledge of the Muse app domain (cards, boards, ink, etc). Just shuffles data between devices – Transactional, blob, and ephemeral data are all managed by this one single state system. For example ephemeral data (someone wiggling a card around) for example, isn’t even transmitted if there are no other clients listening in realtime. More in this Metamuse podcast episode.[7] We draw heavily on research from people like Martin Kleppmann, Peter van Hardenberg[8], and many others. A huge thank you to this wonderful research community. Even if you have no interest in the Muse concept of a digital thinking workspace, I’d encourage you to try the free version just to see how local-first sync feels in practice. My opinion is that is fundamentally different from web/cloud software is well as from classic file-based software—and an improvement on both. Would love to hear what you think.

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How can I stop my inbox/wishlist/bookmarks/tabs/todos from growing?
65 by miguelrochefort | 40 comments on Hacker News.
I have thousands of online accounts, hundreds of thousands of saved items (likes, bookmarks, papers, books, movies, videos, photos, files, open tabs, tasks), hundreds of inbox and feeds, and they just can't seem to stop growing. Inbox zero is now a rare occurrence, only made possible by abusing Gmail's snooze function. My phone, laptop, and clouds are full. Using personal finance analogies, should I: - Reduce my spending (unsubscribe, stop consuming feeds)? - Pay back my debt (consume the saved items)? Perhaps using the debt-snowball method? - Get more credit (file storage) so that I can spend (save items) more? - Declare bankruptcy (delete everything)?

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: What to do about ‘Good at programming Bad at Leetcode’
94 by mikymoothrowa | 202 comments on Hacker News.
Over the past few years I've met people who are really good programmers when it comes to putting together a full back end system , creating a very nice front end or creating any kind of app for that matter. Many of these people are fresh out of college and the ‘industry’ puts them through leetcode/hackerrank style rounds that are needlessly hard. I’ve seen the kind of questions these rounds have and quite frankly, if I graduated this year, there’s no way I’m going to get a job. Ever since 'Cracking the coding interview' was released, every company's interview process has become like Google's and Google didn't have a particularly great interview process to start with.[0][1] Now, there are several GitHub repositories that prescribe 3-4 month grinds on leetcode questions to "crack" the interview. And people do go through this grind. The people who do manage to crack these rounds are not necessarily good at programming either because the time they spent doing competitive programming stuff should have been spent learning to build actual things. The no-whiteboard companies are very few, hardly ever seem to have openings and not hiring junior engineers. What would be your advice be to fresh college graduates, or anybody for that matter, who are good at programming but not at leetcode? Surely there must be a way to demonstrate their understanding of algorithms without having to spend 3-4 months memorising riddles [0] homebrew creator.. https://mobile.twitter.com/mxcl/status/608682016205344768?lang=en [1] Zed Shaw gets offered a sys admin job https://ift.tt/m51F3Rk

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Why are people in real life so different?
90 by samh748 | 135 comments on Hacker News.
Aside from the trolling and otherwise immature behaviour we see in certain online communities (usually ones with a lot of very young people), I've actually observed that people in real life seem so much more complacent and uncritical compared to people online. Maybe there's a sample bias because of the online communities I visit (like HN) and the real world that I live in, but in general, I've observed that people in real life seem overly concerned about keeping things "harmonious", with all the small-talk, the lack of real listening, talking past each other, not voicing differing perspectives, etc. They also seem to lack patience in various things, whether that's discussing or examining something (can't think of examples right now), and would rather "go back to their own lives". In contrast people online seem so much more generous. I'm guessing this is partially because "being on the internet" naturally filters people. But what else is there? What's your experience with people online vs in real life? Why do you think this is the case?

Ask HN: How to build a career in systems-level open source tech?
Hi, I am a software developer in my early 20s and have a degree in Computer Science. Most developer jobs (including my current job) seem to be just about using frameworks to build and maintain apps as per the requirements, with the difficult stuff mostly abstracted away by frameworks.
I do not find this very interesting, and over the next few years, I want to transition to jobs involving design and implementation at the lower-level of the tech stack, or in other words, I want to work on the (mostly open-source) low-level infrastructure instead of a commercial app. Some recent examples of such low-level work I can think of, are: Linux kernel development, sanitizers and static analysis in GCC and Clang, new languages and their compilers and tools (Rust, Go, WebAssembly, etc), regular improvements in web browser engines, databases features.
I would appreciate any advice on how to transition to this kind of work, given that such jobs are very few in number and require highly specialized knowledge, compared to a generic app developer role.
PS. I am outside the US.

Tell HN: Reminder: Google your name, scrub your credit sensitive information
Periodically I search for my name on the internet. I can't clearly remember, but I'm pretty sure I took the appropriate measures to prevent my private information from being sold years ago. So I was surprised and angered when I found it all openly listed for free.
A few days ago I googled (yes, google.com. DDG didn't return the website for me) my name and the 3rd-4th result was fastpeoplesearch.com with ALL of my previous addresses, past phone numbers, past roommates, an old email address, and all of my immediate family members. I don't own property, so only a handful of companies I interact with could be selling all this info.
I changed phone numbers 5 years ago and my current number isn't listed, but my current address is (over a year here). No utilities are in my name. This is so frustrating.
How can I put an end to this permanently?
Anyways, if you have ever ordered one of your free credit reports, some of the security questions are your past addresses. I think other soft ID verifications use this info to IIRC, but its been awhile.
If you find your name on fastpeoplesearch.com, scroll down to the bottom and click "Do not sell my personal information" and follow the instructions.

Ask HN: Where do you get your financial data?
Hey Hacker News,
We're working on an investment aggregator that tracks the value of our customers' portfolios over time. We've faced a bunch of challenges in getting public stock market data (live/historical prices, splits, etc). We're currently cobbling together a dataset from a few different sources (Polygon, IEX, etc), but it's been a massive pain*
I'm wondering if this is the case for other fintech devs. Does everyone face the pain of assembling their own financial datasets? Or do we have unique needs/a bad solution?
So HN, where do you all source your financial data?
* Our main challenges:
Data quality: - Ticker symbol changes (and CUSIP/ISIN changes/challenges) - Missing or wrong values for some days - Missing or incorrect splits Speed: - Tens of API calls that would be necessary to render one screen - Historical data syncing that would take days of API calls Burden: - Enterprise sales contracts instead of self-serve - Building and maintaining your own ETL pipeline to ingest data

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I am building a free version of Strava
142 by rlrhaeck | 36 comments on Hacker News.
I recently added a Segments feature to the Hangtime mountain biking app for Android and IOS. If you are familiar with Strava’s segments, this new feature works much the same. For example, you can add a segment to an existing recorded ride by simply defining a start and end point for the segment. Once the segment is created, it will match any new rides, and optionally “back match” all previous rides. If a segment matches a ride, you you will see your time to complete that segment as well as your personal record (PR) and king of the mountain (KOM) for that segment. The KOM represents the best segment time amongst all riders that have matched that segment. You can also open the segment to see your complete history on that segment to gauge how your performance has changed over time. Some screenshots and videos as well as other features at the link below. https://ift.tt/GneaUxl
