Troika! Hello from a friend in London :)

How is it different to pip-chill[1]?

[1]: https://github.com/rbanffy/pip-chill

I believe pip-chill still operates on packaged installed into the environment. This project seems to derive from the code itself, even if no packages are installed in the current environment.

You took the words from my mouth :) Selling tents to clueless SV customers with disposable cash, with a not-so-veiled promise they can rent them out on Airbnb.

It's the lime scooters of "housing": no permits, no safety, lawless, convenient, short-sighted.

The guru guy, and his tasteless leveraging of someone's personal tragedy to his own grift is incredibly out of touch – provided even that is not made up.

Plumbing is too hard! We will just leave it out of our MVP!

We use a loose version of it in my small company.

It helps with two things: - 1. A little easier to be consistent across projects so not to reinvent the wheel every time - 2. The prefix increments as new folders are added during a project, painting a convenient picture of “progress” as things move along.

We tend to have: 10 to 19 reserved for admin stuff, like Admin, Incoming, Outgoing, Documentation, Meeting notes, etc.

Then anything from 20 onwards is ad-hoc per project

We also timestamp children of Incoming and Outgoing, with an ISO prefix. This is very useful to keep track of what was received and shared and when.

Overall the goal is to have as little protocol as possible to prevent total chaos. Anything more than that is usually too much to ask or doesn’t stick longer than a single project.

  10. Admin
  11. Incoming
    2023-10-12 sender, subject
  12. Outgoing
    2023-09-01 Estimate
  13. Documentation
  20. Design
  30. Production
  40. Blah

I also use variant of incoming/outgoing, its very convenient.

I say FruitMaster

We use and swear by Opalstack.com, which is made by some of the same peeps that worked for the may-as-well-be-defunct Webfaction.

Full SSH access, generous limits, very active community.

Their engineering prowess is also demonstrated by their website’s butter-smooth scrolling performance. /s

I was looking for discussions mentioning this app on HN, but didn’t find any. I am not affiliated with it, just thought I’d bring it to the community’s attention as I have been using for more than a year with my NAS, remotely over SFTP. It is a rare example of a very well thought through application, thoroughly executed: all it does is transfer photos to or from my devices and any thinkable destination. Highly configurable.

Like I suppose many of us, I had a conversation with an artist friend about this very topic. They are concerned about it. Some of the generated results are impressive and surely can sufficiently replace some subset of the current human output.

But! Seeing DALL-E artwork from a bird’s eye view, I am more and more convinced that it’s just another tool, not a replacement: It is amazing good at producing unexpected results, and just like GPT3, it does so by regurgitating what is already out there, remixing it in somewhat interesting ways. This is an especially useful tool to quickly produce mood boards, or communicate an artistic intent. However it is not a replacement for the kind of thinking required to produce good artwork.

I was moved by the message on the last GH release for Meld macOS. So tragic and sad, and I will pray for your brother Youssef.

  Dedicated to Osama
  If you use this software, please pray for my brother.
