In California, the maximum personal income tax rate is effectively closer to 50%, which is where my mind went, but you're right, it's different for companies. In my example, the tax rate isn't the point though, it was used ju

For folks that don't know the background on this, here's a layperson summary: - A business is usually taxed on its profits: you deduct your revenue from the cost of producing that revenue, and the delta is what you are taxed on. -

I’ve been helping Omar on this and one of the hardest aspects of building this product has been finding users that can give actual feedback. Any ideas there would be super helpful

it would be nice if i could save my progress at every level so i could just keep working on one level at a time.

Yes, this is an issue! And, zooming out a little more, free market healthcare is just part of the problem. We have a system where we’re only treating people once they have a disease, and not working to prevent the disease, so it would be he

The app is doing an http(s?) request, which includes more round trips than a simple ping. Also, the web server may be more loaded than the ping response would indicate.

Yes, and I think what’s interesting is to consider is that the ability to use a terminal is a very recent (and from a certain perspective, strange) skill, considered from the perspective of the kind of hardware we have for information acces

Yes, that’s it! An easier and shorter read may be the final paper I published in that domain, which talks more about the difference between literate and low/non-literate users: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jsherwan/pubs&

My PhD thesis focused on voice interface design for people with limited literacy skills. One of the most surprising discoveries for me was that menus and even lists of items aren’t natural concepts that exist outside of a context of literac

We have a .deb and .rpm download, and also have an AUR package. Let me know if you need something else!

You’re absolutely right, and we do need to do a better job for lower spec machines. Lots of work left to be done, for sure!

Pop’s performance is something we have spent significant time improving, and we’ll continue to do so. My only ask is for folks to try the product and judge its performance (or lack thereof) on its own merits, regardless of presumptions ba

Another commenter mentioned how VSCode's performance shows that Electron isn't terrible [1]. Based on the discussion, we're going to look a lot deeper into finding ways to reduce Electron's memory bloat especially when i

by jsherwani 5y ago
Agreed, it's quite an inspiration as to the best Electron can be. I think the trick for an app like ours is to offload the heaviest pieces to native code, and use Electron purely as a presentation layer. This is something we're no

by jsherwani 5y ago
Thanks for the details! Based on the feedback today, we're going to look into how we can reduce memory usage overall (especially when idle), and CPU usage especially when screen sharing. We already modify Electron, so we may be able to

We're happy you're happy! Please try out the product and let us know if there's anything we can do to improve.

Similar discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28224881 In short: when you need to see anything outside the IDE (e.g. a debugger, or even just seeing the running app alongside the IDE), a tool like Pop is ver

Tuple's done a good job of their minimalist UI (it's largely modeled after Screenhero). With Pop, you can minimize the control panel with 1 click. We'll soon also be adding the ability to remove the border around your shared

Glad to have you back! And honestly, the feedback on Pop as a name has been overwhelmingly positive :)

In Pop, if you add people to your contact list (or connect with Slack), you can see your contacts and team members' online presence, and can call them from within Pop.

Yes, that was ~3 years of learning (and pain) condensed into a short paragraph :D I think one key piece worth emphasizing was: Screenhero's core strength was in its interactive screen sharing. Slack's main desire was in voice, the

Thanks for the provocative phrasing — I really like it! The native module coupled with Electron could be a great solution to the performance issue: it would give native performance for the most critical part of the product, while still prov
