Isn't this essentially what LLMs do?

Others have said it, but I'm not a fan of the cookie cutter approach. Build on UX patterns that work, but try new things too. It'll be hard to let your brand infuse the design when you're doing a line for line reproduction.

Pre-record your demos 10 months ago

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this tool just types the commands. So it avoids typos and you can just focus on what you're saying as you type nonsense. Sounds like it actually does run your pre-written commands. From the readme:

What's more, It's a Live is actually running the commands you're typing, so you have full interoperability with other programs.

Can't speak to the technical details, but if you're looking for feedback- some of the wording on this page feels off.

The specific "8 hrs" is strange, why not just say hours/days saved? It'll be different depending on level of experience anyway.

I'd also change "I have done it for you" to something like "FlutterFlash sets up all of these features, so you can focus on what matters..."

Look at the current internet landscape- most users interact, find, and share content through the walled gardens of social networks. I don't think "decentralized open and free" networks are at all inevitable. To me those characteristics are shrinking, not growing.

This isn't what the commentators are referring to when they talk about "the flip".

Rockets traditionally have some type of separation mechanism to separate stage 1 and stage 2. This is usually some type of pyro charge or an actual pneumatic pusher. SpaceX wants to avoid this complexity with Starship and instead "throw" off stage 2 (Starship) by doing a flip with the booster. I don't believe it's been done before for stage separation, but this is also how they deploy Starlink satellites. [0]

Obviously, something went wrong in stage separation today so Booster+Starship just continually flipped. We don't know exactly what the true flip will look like.

preparing for a full orbital test

Rocket delays are inevitable. But since you mentioned New Glenn's perpetual delays, let's also be fair and note that Starship's orbital test has been teased by Elon for quite awhile now [0]. I happen to think an April/May launch is possible, but we'll see. And also good to note that this is still very much a "pathfinder" vehicle, in SpaceX's style of iterative design & test. So not at all the same as whenever New Glenn's first launch will be.

"no dev I've worked with ever kicked up a fuss when they switched"

Wow. I don't think your experience is the common one. I've been on teams switching to git, and there was always much fussing. Even if the benefits of switching were clear and it was worth it, doesn't mean there won't be pain along the way.

There is a decent amateur community for receiving satellite transmissions. I'm not super knowledgable on it, but 2 resources that may interest you:

Scott Tilley, who gained a lot of recognition in the past year in analyzing radio signals to see how Russia was using satellites in Ukraine: https://twitter.com/coastal8049

An amateur group revived 2-way communications on an abandoned satellite: https://sservi.nasa.gov/articles/isee-3-reboot-project/#:~:t....

I hear this argument a lot and people use examples like BET and black churches. But take a step back and look at what led to black-specific things. MTV hardly played black artists. White churches excluded and actively attacked black Christians.

White has been the default in America for a long time. Seems like that's slowly starting to change but until it does, there's going to be a need for things specifically targeted at minority groups.

I applied to a catch-all job opening on their site when they first came out of stealth mode. Somehow I got an interview with Andy. I read some of his research papers before the interview [0] in case there was something I could reference in the interview. It was pretty clear that wasn't feasible (I'm still laughing at my hubris for even thinking this was a possibility), but it was still fun trying to understand such technical concepts!

I didn't know they are YC-backed! I saw them getting some strong recommendations from former Blue Origin colleagues. Clearly they are building a very talented team; I'm eager to see what they are working on. I have tons of questions (first stage choice, fuel, secret sauce, etc) but seems like they are keeping things under wraps pretty tightly. But if they can somehow deliver on 2nd stage reuse at a smaller scale than Starship, then I can't wait to see the advanced technology & techniques they use to get there.

If you enjoy this, I'd recommend The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell and John Gray. A lot of really interesting material on being a dad and specifically parenting boys (but a lot of the benefit also extends to women obviously). At first the material felt a little too "men's rights!" to me, but there really are a significant amount of culture deficiencies in raising men to be fathers.

Seconded! Can you give a ballpark for how much you'd charge for a piece like this? Seems like an insane amount of work at incredible quality. I want to own it.

This is what you'd expect, but he is very hands-on trying out technical ideas. I would look through his tweets to see the things he gets involved with.

Recently he built Vite to see if it'd be possible to have a dev setup with no bundling (just using ES modules). It's evolved since then, but he picks up work a lot on new ideas and seeing how it can drive the direction of Vue.

no potential for gaming

I'm very confused by this. This demo gameplay is pretty representative of a few genres of games like Tomb Raider. It also translates well to different types of gameplay, so I don't get your dismissal.

.NET Core's cross-platform tools and ecosystem is wonderful. I'm working on a small team and the devs are using Windows, Mac, and Linux. CI builds are a mix of Windows and Linux, deploying to Linux.

I think their biggest weakness now is branding (.NET vs .NET Core). This will be fixed with .NET 5, which merges the two and will make all flavors of .NET cross-platform.
