Ask HN: Have you ever heard of users demonstrating against software?

Today in Trondheim, Norway, around 100 health doctors & nurses demostrated by walking with torches trough the city against the implementation of a new software in the hospital. The Helseplatform is an adaptation of Epic to the Norwegian Health system. Have this ever happen in history before? How bad can something be that users go out in the street to demostrate?

Ask HN: Is it still possible to live in a terminal?
26 by ilovecaching | 27 comments on Hacker News.
In college I did a month long experiment where I only used my computer's terminal emulator to do all my work. I wrote my code/notes in Vim, browsed the web with elinks, and wrote my emails using mutt. It was a great learning experience. Recently I looked into doing this again and ran into a bunch of issues: - My company uses Slack's enterprise auth, and all the CLI slack clients I could find haven't been updated in years and no longer work. - The web is using more javascript than in the past. - Mutt doesn't handle multiple email accounts natively for work/personal. The solutions are hacks at best. Email servers are starting to use more complete auth mechanisms that don't work well with mutt. It seems like the terminal world is slowly getting abandoned in favor of proprietary GUI apps. Anyone still living inside the terminal? Links to tools for Slack are appreciated.

Ask HN: Are we all burned out?

I feel burned out and every one of my friends and coworkers I have talked to are feeling burned out. Having a kid, covid , war in Ukraine and now recession and layoffs have left me fatigued and I can barely learn anything new or look forward to anything . All I want to do is look at my phone and consume more content.And I look back fondly to 2001-2007 and also 2010-2017. Do I need therapy or is everyone feeling the same ?

https://ift.tt/Xl0qcOx …a free/libré book about UX research with qualitative methods on motivations, activities written for UX researchers, UX designers and product managers. I have been writing on this book since about 2010 and did a large rewrite during the first half of 2022. (I initally planned this with a bigger tech publisher). This is the link to the full book for online reading: https://ift.tt/0dLIv93 (it’s one long page, so it might take a bit to load)

Show HN: Reflame – Deploy your React web apps in milliseconds
19 by lewisl9029 | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! I've been working on Reflame since I quit my job at Brex last year, excited to finally open it up for everybody to try out! Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ4KyfGbUFA Reflame deploys client-rendered React web apps instantly, to previews and to production. In concrete wall-clock terms, deploys generally take: - ~50-500ms from our VSCode extension - ~500-3000ms from our GitHub app (Jump to this comment ( https://ift.tt/xCz8kL0 ) for what makes Reflame so fast) The Reflame GitHub App automatically deploys default branches to production, and other branches to previews. If you've used Netlify/Vercel's GitHub apps, you should feel right at home. The difference is it’s multiple orders of magnitudes faster. Fast enough that you'll probably never see an in-progress deploy on GitHub ever again , only ready-to-go preview/production links. No more having to babysit builds or having to context switch to and from other tasks before being able to see our changes deployed in previews or production. Previewing, sharing, and even shipping, can now become part of the so-called inner loop, giving us the superpower to stay in flow state for much longer. The Reflame VSCode extension is yet another order of magnitude faster than even the GitHub App. It was designed to offer an experience that can rival local development workflows in both speed and ergonomics, while addressing many of local dev's limitations around collaboration and production-parity. Every time we make a change (e.g. by saving a file), the extension will deploy that change (in ~50-500ms) to a "Live Preview", and will immediately update the app in our browsers to reflect that change. Live Previews can operate in one of two modes: - Development mode delivers updates through React Fast Refresh, offering the familiar state-preserving instant feedback loop we know and love from local development workflows. - Production mode delivers updates by triggering a full browser reload on every change, and in exchange for this extra bit of friction, we get to develop against a byte-identical version of the fully optimized production deployment that customers will see once we ship, with a tighter feedback loop than was ever possible before. Live Previews deliver updates over the internet, meaning we can effortlessly test out our changes on multiple devices simultaneously, and show our changes to anyone in the world, just by sharing a Live Preview link, all while having our updates reflected automatically across all connected devices in real-time (with live reload or React Fast Refresh over the internet ). Being able to ship quickly is valuable on its own, but Reflame's true north star has always been to enable customers to ship quickly with confidence . One way Reflame helps customers ship with more confidence today is by making previews with full production-parity available at every step of the development process. Previews in Reflame are accessible at the exact same URL customers will use to access the production deployment, instead of at a different subdomain for each preview (i.e. every preview is accessed through https://reflame.app instead of at https://ift.tt/Bi6HqwL ). Behind the scenes, this is implemented using session cookies that our CDN will check to determine which version of the app to serve. This is only the tip of the iceberg. We have some really exciting prototypes around testing and typechecking that we've been exploring that could allow us to ship with even more confidence without ever slowing us down . If any of this sounds interesting for the apps you're building or planning to build (taking into account this comment ( https://ift.tt/TNCiL7s ) below describing what Reflame is not well suited for), please sign up and give it a try! I can't wait to see what you’ll build with it! :)

The best Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro cases you can get right now

The best Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro cases you can get right now

Even though the vanilla Pixel 7 can even be perceived as “affordable” with its price tag of just $599, and the true flagship - the Pixel 7 Pro is still way under the psychological $1000 threshold (starting at $899), both phones still need protection.

Ask HN: What am I supposed after I’m “disrupted”? Work in video and CG
39 by kranke155 | 24 comments on Hacker News.
I work in video / filmmaking / ads in London. Most of the work in this space is short form video for YouTube / Instagram and TV. Now I am seeing the video generating AI (imagen video from Google on the front page) and I’m 100% sure a good percentage of the work will vanish. There’s loads of work that ad agencies will just hire an AI prompt guy to generate for ads. Big companies will still make ads, of course, but smaller gigs that keep the whole industry afloat? What about even 10 million $ shots with CG characters that will now become commonplace? I’ve retrained before. I started off as an editor, then did VR video, now moved into CG. I’m pretty good at my job - I’ve worked on stuff for Dell and Apple, including stuff you’ve probably seen. It’s funny to think I might have to retrain yet again. I didn’t expect image generation AI to be the next big leap. I was already moving into more storytelling content (ie documentaries) because that’s more defensible against AI. But I expected 3-4 years before video generation would just come out. Now it seems like it’s happening so quickly I’m not sure they won’t have good stuff out in 6 months to a year. So - HN - what do I do now? And what about the other fellas in my industry who will be out of a job? In my estimate, we are talking about tens of thousands. To counter the obvious: I have learnt web dev at one point I thought I’d make the jump, even started learning React but I found the work to be mind numbing. I just love making images. But I feel like Pierre Auguste Renoir’s who was a plate painter in France and did a good living out of it - until the process was industrialised and he struggled (maybe for the rest of his life? I don’t quite recall). What do I do HN?
