Who is going to invade Iran and stop them from shooting missiles at passing chips?

New comment by HaloZero in "Delve removed from Y Combinator"

HaloZero — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 05:39:30 +0000

I think it's fairly straight forward why. It's because Delve broke the law and got other YC companies in trouble vs other industries & people not under the YC banner.

I thought all the US ones existed in US states/territories? The ones in the middle east could be potentially destroyed true though.

Hmmm, is this supposed to do something on OSX 26.3? I tried setting it to 10 and it doesn't seem to do anything? Wonder if there's something new for Tahoe.

So wait if solid state is too expensive? What replaces lithium ion batteries? What breakthrough do you expect in solid state to make it cheaper in 2028?

The problem is that Iran has the Houthi's in Yemen. And they're within missile/bombing range of the current pipeline.

I talked to my friends who aren't in tech a lot about what they would want with software. A lot of the benefits of small software like this would actually be compliance and reporting issues with non-profit. Sifting through large amounts of data with very unstructured inputs.

The actual community building is fairly not as automated unless you have very specific problems. Like even in the example above, having an automated message is useful but staffing the team to handle when things are NOT in a good spot would probably be the real scaling cost.

New comment by HaloZero in "Nightingale – open-source karaoke app that works with any song on your computer"

HaloZero — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 20:39:37 +0000

Bah it has quite a few dependencies which I imagine won’t fly on iOS. More possible to build a remote streaming capability to it.

Would it possible to port this to car play? Or does the embedded python not work for iOS apps?

New comment by HaloZero in "Using Thunderbird for RSS"

HaloZero — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 02:50:15 +0000

Thank you for this post. I was debating about moving from Feedly and this just saved me a lot of headaches.

At this point the main reason I stay on Feedly is their ability to handle fake email subscriptions into their RSS format. So many blogs and other places don't provide RSS anymore :(

New comment by HaloZero in "US economy unexpectedly sheds 92k jobs in February"

Trump has made coming into the US less attractive which is a source of a huge amount of money for colleges and other schools in the US. Foreign tuition is $$$.

Plus cuts to the department of education, non profit spending in general.

That’s just a guess though.

HaloZero — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 06:29:33 +0000

I love this! It’s a fantastic little free app. Any reason you don’t open source it? I’d love to help fix some bugs that I encounter.

New comment by HaloZero in "Glaze by Raycast"

HaloZero — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 15:51:19 +0000

But can it manage external libraries or use only the existing sdk? I had a non tech friend run into an issue recently where she wanted to automate a pdf action. Eventually I realized she needed to run homebrew and install a library. Curious if this actually manages that kind of process.

New comment by HaloZero in "New iPad Air, powered by M4"

HaloZero — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 22:16:47 +0000

But that's the thing, most "gamers" aren't the ones that games that normally on Steam are targeting. Mobile Gaming is almost double the size of Console Gaming by revenue. Some people just like having a huge screen for their games.

HaloZero — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 17:54:42 +0000

You'd be surprised by the horsepower some games require, my wife plays Love and Deep Space and she recently just bought a new iPad because the game requires some good specs and a LOT of storage space. She's not a "serious gamer" as your parlance.

Yeah, installing some script to get a command line tool doesn't seem worth it.

New comment by HaloZero in "The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran"

HaloZero — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 15:45:21 +0000

Easy, it was Israel that probably did it and it's been shown time and time again that they can do this without political fallout under the guise that the target was a hiding spot for the military assets of Iran (or Hamas in the case of Palestine bombing).

New comment by HaloZero in "NASA announces overhaul of Artemis program amid safety concerns, delays"

HaloZero — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 23:52:30 +0000

Doesn't Artemis intend to launch humans? It seems like Space X Starship approach is hella dangerous for astroanuts.

New comment by HaloZero in "Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers"

HaloZero — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 04:14:38 +0000

I imagine because the other jobs all around SE isn't as outsourcable. Designs and PM in particular. At some point the timezone pain is not worth the cost savings.

New comment by HaloZero in "Amazon accused of widespread scheme to inflate prices across the economy"

HaloZero — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 05:01:54 +0000

Lol, that sounds about right. I checked, our household spent $2700 last year on amazon. Only 3 things above $100 though, so it's just accumulation of lots of smaller purchases.
