Possibly best thing ever on Hacker News. There is something quite appealing about the simplicity of Boléro

It's not clear how much ChatGPT is investing in the discovery part of the app store experience, so this seems like mostly a way for users to install apps they're already familiar with and use them from inside a chat. For now, it seems like you have to explicitly @-mention an app to use it.

Unfortunately, I tried to use zed as my daily driver, but the typescript experience was subpar. While the editor itself was snappy, LSP actions like "jump to declaration" were incredibly slow on our codebase compared to VS Code / Cursor.

Really interesting article, unfortunately it seems quite lucrative to scam seniors, and very hard to prevent, especially when they don’t think they’re being scammed.

Why does a state have ad tracking data? Are they really that hard up for cash that they need to have ad campaigns for people selecting insurance?
I understood it to be the reverse - they advertise on LinkedIn, and the trackers determine whether the users convert once they click through. Not great, but at least not as ill intentioned

Any suggestions on what needs to be handled here? My first thought is UA checking to see if it looks like a real browser.
Using a time-based expiration rather than a usage-based expiration should help

I appreciate the author’s openness in sharing their experience - it’s really worthwhile to share experiences where money isn’t everything, and that it can be a poor generator of meaning.
Speaking of meaning, I think it’s a task for everyone to find their life’s calling - something you’re uniquely suited to do. Sometimes that pays the bills and sometimes it doesn’t. I’m a bit surprised that “start another saas company” wasn’t really on the list for Vinay, but there’s probably a good reason for that. For me, I found that starting a family completely changed my life, as well as helping me appreciate more the family I already had - but I suppose that’s not something that lasts forever either. Good luck to the author.
Someone who relies on you, whatever the context, is some of the greatest motivation out there.
