This seems to get around it:
I also got around it by asking it to print the caesar cipher encoded version of it with the shift amount, and then asking it to decrypt that.
sourdesi commented on Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today? · Posted by u/nvln
I’ve been working on a side project that aims to provide a really simple UX to spin up full-stack web apps with CI and scalable infra by default. The idea is that you would simply enter a domain name you want to purchase and then the tool would do the following:
1. Purchase the domain name using AWS Route53 (perhaps you’d need to setup an IAM role for the website to access your pre existing AWS acct)
2. Setup frontend, API, and CDK infra repos. All in TypeScript.
3. Frontend react, backend Api gateway backed by lambda functions. Have a graphql endpoint that talks to an Amazon auroradb. CI for backend and frontend is defined by a CDK package that is also deployed to the AWS account that also sets up the networking and database for you.
4. Have a basic layer of application code for setting up user authentication and storing user data in the aurora db.
Basically my idea is it kinda sucks that everyone has to do all of this setup yourself if you want to start a new project. Or you have to rely on no-code tools like Squarespace etc which may not be what most engineers are looking for. Having something that can go from simply entering the domain name you want to scaffolding out a fully functional full stack web app with CI and serverless infra defined by code that can scale from day 1 seems both incredibly useful and doable.
Curious to hear other people’s thoughts on this!
> Any chance this will touch the bay area prices
The interactive map in the articles shows SF to be "overvalued" (but not "significantly overvalued") and it states SF home values are down 7.8% between May and August of this year.
I think you’ve misinterpreted the map. The yellow regions in the map are the ones that are actually undervalued relative to local incomes. SF/Bay Area is one of the few regions on the map that is yellow.
It does point out, however, that tech hubs are still struggling due to reasons other than local affordability:
1) higher cost homes are more rate sensitive
2) tech companies and their corresponding stock compensation are experiencing a downturn
3) tech companies have leaned in to remote work more than in other industries, which means employees don’t need to stay in expensive tech hubs for their career opportunities. (this is from my own understanding of the market, not the article. Also, I personally think there’s still some career networking benefits being located near a tech hub)

Probably 2-3 per day for me.
Side note: One of my favorite authors Michael Pollan recently published a short audiobook on the effects of caffeine, some of the history behind it, and his experience going cold turkey for a few months. Really quick and interesting 2 hour listen. It's called Caffeine.
Thought I'd share since I found out about his last book "How to Change your Mind" on HN and found it fascinating.

There's also a (pretty great) song by The Smiths related to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwv23yz_OrI
The lyrics are meant to be ironic since they condemn plagiarism while praising Wilde and consciously containing bits of plagiarism itself. Morrissey, the lyricist and vocalist, was well known for plagiarizing and even ripped some lines off of Oscar Wilde in a few songs.
sourdesi commented on Show HN: Notify – CLI to notify your phone mashlol.github.io/notify/... · Posted by u/mashlol
Really like the idea!
Im trying it out right now and the Android app told me to use an identifier that starts with a '9'. I typed `notify -r <my_identifier>`. When I try running `notify` however, it gives me this:
[notify] Encountered an error: ParseError { code: 141, message: 'Error 112: Channel name must start with a letter: <my_identifier>' }
Maybe functionality is in the eyes of the beholder... but Pebble can most definitely do all of those things with the proper app: view calendars/agendas, send canned SMS responses, and view upcoming weather. You don't have to "ask" your device to do it, just press the right buttons. Despite the "coolness" factor, I find it preferable and more discreet to press buttons, rather than using a microphone or swiping a touchscreen. Depending on the app, you can literally cycle through the three things you've mentioned in three button clicks. [1] Also, if Pebble has a killer feature, it's that its battery life crushes anything else I've seen thus far, regularly lasting through 5 to 7 days of 24/7 wear and bluetooth connectivity...I don't think any Android Wear device can do that yet, but I would be really interested in looking at them if they could.

EDIT: FWIW, I don't use Google Now on my phone itself, so I admit that some of the novelty or utility of what it can do from your Android Wear device might be lost on me.
I have a Pebble Smartwatch and it definitely does not have 5-7 days of battery life. More like 1.5 days (2 if your lucky). Also, I do think the fact that Android wear makes so much functionality so easily accessible is a huge deal for smartwatches. You just say "Ok Google". The whole point of a smartwatch is to seamlessly integrate technology in your life. That means our interactions on them need to be quick. You can't get that if you have to poke around the Pebble watch UI for 15 seconds before getting to your app and THEN sending out the text, or checking your calendar etc.
From an Android devs perspective, I will say that the Parse Android SDK is really well made. The API allows for idiomatic, fairly concise, and consistently patterned code. It also adheres to a lot of the coding conventions that android devs are used to like callback functions for asynchronous operations. Set up is super easy too. The offline caching feature is really easy and useful.
That being said, if you have the skill set and time as a developer to be able to implement all of those features and a server/db component, I would. It may not be as robust or clean as the Parse API but hey if its your code it shouldn't be terrible to work with. If you do it yourself, then you get the added benefit of just having to pay for hosting of your server and db.
