Looks good! Thanks for sharing.

Shameless plug, but here in the UK we built Penny, which is an invoice factoring tool (U.K. only), i.e. You sell us your £1000 invoice that’s due in thirty days and we’ll buy it off you at a discount and pay it the next day.

We don’t have invoice templating but it’s a nice to have.

I’m still trying to crack the easiest way to reduce friction in entering enough but minimal data for us to be able to generate a usable invoice. Tough cookie to crack

This project is really great, and I love the integration it has with Home Assistant.

Lately I've been stuck on the issue of getting my GPU mapped into its docker container. I'm probably in the small group that's not using the suggested Google TPU though. I felt myself wishing for non-container installation docs, but that's probably due to a lack of free time to fiddle with the container.

I was running Frigate this way. Initially I had a 1030 without the USB TPU running fine, and have since added the TPU and another GPU. The guides out there will help you.

aframe commented on Ask HN: Developer abused “sign in with GitHub”? · Posted by u/2Gkashmiri

> If the permissions included "can star repos", instead of just "can read/write repos", then sure

Not to blame the victim here, but your logic implodes on itself. Do you realize that granting someone access to "read/write your repos" can have more severe consequences than what happened here?

What GitHub did was wrong - regardless of the scope, they need to be able to differentiate the user from malicious developer. With that being said, it is prudent to pause and think before granting permissions to your resources without some level of trust.

I believe that use of “can read/write repos” was to demonstrate a lack of granularity rather than advice on what an appropriate level of access would have been. Therefore - in my mind, their logic stands.

aframe commented on Ask HN: What is your playbook for profitable SaaS without outside investment? · Posted by u/_448

offtop5 · 5 years ago

How big of a team do you have. Even if it's from your personal funds, if you're maybe paying a few contractors $10,000 a month, that's still an investment.

aframe · 5 years ago

It’s not an outside investment though.

It's 2021. There is very little opportunity left in SaaS that hasn't had mind boggling amounts of investor capital thrown at it. These are your competitors. In every single conceivable niche. Not bootstrapped companies. Venture backed. Millions in capital earmarked for marketing and sales. For things like mattress testing and sushi restaurant POS.

There is no playbook for profitable bootstrapped SaaS in 2021. The winners either have a special secret that they wouldn't share for the world or they're lying about being profitable.. or in most cases the "successes" are simply such amateurs they don't understand basic accounting and believe that "profitable" means "slightly more monthly revenue than the cost of the servers".

If you embark on this be aware, the days of having your own little saas as passive side income are long behind us. This is serious serious stuff now.

Don’t listen to this negativity. This is absolute narrow minded hogwash. I’ve been part of two profitable-without-outside-investment companies that have started in the last twelve months. The only secrets are to be - or work with, experts in the field, and solve a problem. It’s the usual adage.

An expert can mean you’re qualified in the field or you’ve been in the specific game a long time.

Just make sure it’s a real problem and that you don’t spend months beavering away at your secret project without speaking to people and validating.

Just don’t listen to people like this who tell you the hotels’s full. There’s always space at the Invention Inn.

Good luck.

I’m not affiliated with them, but it’s my buddy’s business and they’re doing really great things over there.

Responsible use of an interface is not really a well-defined concept. Responsible use of third-party ML services, or of ML in general, that's something we can fruitfully talk about (and what TFA seems to be about).

This looks awesome - unfortunately, my 2017 MBP running the latest MacOS 10.15 and iPhone 11 don't seem to register with this software when plugged in after installing the app and drivers. The Support Center doesn't have anything useful for troubleshooting, so...YMMV?

aframe · 6 years ago

Same. MacBook Pro 16 & iPhone 11 Pro.

Video source didn’t show up in Zoom but did in QuickTime, however there was no video - only a static turquoise image.

Had to faff about parsing the Mac installer with pkgutil once I decided to remove it as there were no uninstall instructions or mention of what was installed where.

The forwards and backwards in finder history shortcut also works in a large number of other apps :)

aframe · 6 years ago

Indeed. The only reason I discovered it was because of the muscle memory from using it with a browser!
