Alice finds a recent Time Machine local snapshot and mount that elsewhere with owners disabled. Then Alice can browse everyone else's (recent) files – without needing sudo access.


... fair enough, at one point he wrote most of the user-space utilities in Linux. Although he hasn't gotten around to the kernel, but half is better than nothing, and a free kernel is nothing without _free_ (as in _speech_) user-space utilities to accompany it.


PSA to developers: Notarization alone won't be sufficient. You'll need to staple that notarization ticket as well so that your users' Macs doesn't need to go online to validate whether your app has been tampered (among other things).

How? Have a look here: https://cutecoder.org/programming/notarize-disk-image-develo...


At least for Slack there's would be the iOS version available.


Why... why...


This is yet another "so heavily animated, it hinders the user experience" application.



There is definitely some overlap from what I can see, fix point numbers is one notable difference.

I would say calcl is more flexible; since it's designed to be used standalone, as an opcode in any cidk [0] program or as a C++ library.

It also serves as a minimal example of how to design an interpreter around cidk.

Sir Patrick Stewart would disagree, having started a new project at 79 years of age.

1. Nighongo.io Turn this into an offline app, should be a lot less in running costs. Otherwise use advertisements. Initially use Google Ads but try to arrange direct-placement advertisements from related businesses (e.g. Japanese language schools, travel agencies to Japan, etc).

2. Try to sell this to enterprises that uses Go and position it as a lint tool for their Go code base.

But if the above failed, move it to a free tier cloud platform (e.g. Heroku's free tier) and just use it as a portfolio to add in your résumé.


Yep, agreed on the last slide that lean startup only works 1 out of 10 times - http://bit.ly/178ZPrb

As opposed to?

Seriously, I'm not trying to be snarky. "Lean" is a way of thinking, a set of principles, etc. that should increase the odds of success of most startups. So if we say "using this only works 1 in 10 times" then how often do startups succeed who don't use them? And if one were to advocate for a "something else" model then what, exactly, is the "something else"?

Or I guess another way of wording what I'm asking is "Is there actually any counter-indication to doing things like getting to know your customers and understand their pains, achieving product / market fit before doing a big-bang PR launch, and waiting to try and massively scale sales and marketing until you know there is a market for what you're building"?


But since it's lean, presumably the other 9 failures don't cost much and lead to success on the 10th try...


Nice argument, arbuge, thanks for pointing out.

It's not that we actually don't like & use lean techniques, but it's just I wanted to address that actually 'fetish of failure' might not be a good thing in the long term.
