It seems I also posted this here three years ago, which is odd since I’ve spent several months trying to remember the URL.

Sorry for the anxiety! Your critic is a valid one, and one we struggled with a lot, how to make a powerful and simple app at the same time.

We worked a lot in the last year to simplify some of the app's concepts and help onboard colleagues.

> The fact that i had to write them to delete my account instead of just being able to do that in settings made me really angry back

It's now possible in app. :)
Uuuuh, that's exactly how the music industry works. I think you might be surprised to learn how many hit pop songs were written by a very small community of artists, completely separate from the ever changing faces that perform them.
Of course a built-in would be nice, but I think one could get 99% of the way there just with a specialized scanner (that I don't know the name of) that kept its own database, like CTAGs or the old OSX Quicksilver (and probably Spotlight after it).
Exactly, it has always been about brand building. Which is why I find Amazon and Deliveroo tiresome. These guys just replaced TV and newspapers in the ad business.

Not only are they not immediate, you have to pay a fee.

In most developed countries, it's completely free to send money instantly from one account to another, even across banks and account holders.
Nice, I've never heard of DigitalOcean, so I'll definitely look into them.

As for the S3 for image storing - that's definitely an option since the free tier of Heroku would be 'good enough'. Thanks!
What does this rant have to do with the honor system? I don't appreciate the author throwing mud at a great self-governing system used in many schools by invoking its name when it's not even relevant here.
The problem with AI emotion recognition is not necessarily how good it is at identifying emotions. It's the fact that humans can make themselves feel emotions in order to reach their goals. If you can "believe in yourself" to make yourself more confident in succeeding at something, you've done the same type of mental manipulation as a compulsive liar who believes their own lie.

It's not broken in practice, the theory doesn't work.

This is a problem for humans too, but non-technical people take anything that a computer spits out as word of truth! We intuitively know it's hard for a human to really read a human. Not so for computers.
"Small government" and a small government are not the same thing
Yes, in that instance, he made money, but also paid taxes on that. He probably wouldn't have sold if he didn't think it would be wise to diversify a little after such a huge price jump. Or maybe he just wanted to buy something ridiculous, who knows.

In general, the super-rich don't need to sell, which is why they don't need to pay taxes. If you want to change that, you need a wealth tax, with all its problems. That's my point.
There's a truckload of options, really. Get more into side projects while ignoring/minimizing job tasks, like OP. Try to find jobs that relate closer to what you like (that's the great thing in being a dev, you can switch jobs or roles rather effortlessy, if you have CV that proves you are generally experienced). Find more interesting things within your field, or even current role. Simply switch to a nicer company. Get into charity work. Monetize a hobby, start a venture - even besides an existing job. And so on.

One thing is important, is that you HAVE to deal with this problem, however convenient it seems to just let things as they are, and "not think about it". OP was really great at recognizing that there is a specific issue to be solved here.
Plenty of things are intuitive if you have the right mental model backing it. I'd wager some folks thing of all/any as "at least one True"/"Everything is true", which makes it a trickier think.

Mental models often get spicy with empty/"corner" cases. This isn't quite the same, but a lot of kids struggle with division as sharing rather than division as measuring, which makes division by a number less than 1 conceptually difficult. http://langfordmath.com/ECEMath/Multiplication/DivModels.htm...
I highly recommend Zettlr [1]. I used it exclusively for writing my Masters thesis and it won me over. Pandoc and Zotero integrations make the whole process incredibly smooth, but still leave you with a clean, minimalist editor and interface.

That being said, great work by OP. I used to love writing with Notepad, but massive numbers of documents demand organization and digging into external folders just doesn't always cut it, and sometimes I really can use a bit more versatility. I've tried a number of different solutions over the years, the best of which was a customized setup of Atom, but it was still clunky. If I hadn't already found Zettlr, I'd have loved to give OP's beautiful setup a shot. I still might just for fun.

Edit: Adding that Zettlr is free and open source and actively developed/maintained.
I'm unsure how this is a relevant reply. I guess if you interpret GP's comment as saying "I had a job that I could tell a lot of cool stories about," then you're right, that's not worth so much if all you get out of it is a "cool story bro."

But if you actually enjoyed living in those stories, then how can the ultimate conclusion be "so what?" Having an interesting and rich life that you enjoy is clearly a goal for many.
> change the tax regulation for foundations (my wife is in this business and her blood is boiling with what she sees)

What are some of the issues your wife has seen here?
From _The Princess Bride_: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

From Wikipedia: "Sexism, a term coined in the mid-20th century, is the belief or attitude that one gender or sex is inferior to, less competent, or less valuable than the other. It can also refer to hatred of, or prejudice towards, either sex as a whole (see misogyny and misandry), or the application of stereotypes of masculinity in relation to men, or of femininity in relation to women. It is also called male and female chauvinism. Sexist is the adjective form of the noun sexism. Sex discrimination is discrimination on the basis of sex or gender."

Restricting an endowed professorship on the basis of any criterion is not sexist; it is discriminatory. And, frankly, I think it's totally justified: women are drastically underrepresented in the field, due to a wide variety of subtle discouragements that mostly fall under the broad label of institutional sexism.

The metaphor my partner uses is of a seesaw with one side on the ground. If you want to bring it back into balance, you have to make a deliberate change to the system by either removing mass from the side that's down, or adding mass to the side that's up. Continuing to pile mass on in the same proportions as before is, well, take your pick between "if we do not change our direction, we will end up where we are going," or "the definition of insanity."
Wikipedia: "Viacom did not seek damages for any actions after Google put its Content ID filtering system in place in early 2008." Google and Viacom ultimately settled. So the issue of whether Google can tie Content ID to giving them rights to content hasn't been litigated yet.

Meanwhile, Facebook is getting serious about taking on YouTube. Maybe they'll offer a better deal.
“In the longer term, virologists cannot predict how SARS-CoV-2 will evolve.”

Does an ad for Dignitas come up?
IANAL, only in Massachusetts, and it's somewhat narrow:

> We also conclude that Uber's terms and conditions did not constitute a contract with the plaintiffs. The app's registration process did not provide users with reasonable notice of the terms and conditions and did not obtain a clear manifestation of assent to the terms, both of which could have been easily achieved. Indeed, a review of the case law reveals that Uber has no trouble providing such reasonable notice and requiring express affirmation from it sown drivers.Here,in remarkable contrast,both the notice and the assent are obscured in the registration process.As a result, Uber cannot enforce the terms and conditions against the plaintiffs, including the arbitration agreement at issue here.

The best strategy to hire and train good bioinformaticians is to let them live where they want and involve them in world-spanning virtual groups. Pay them as well as can be allowed, which is not so great in terms of their fair market value in other fields, but with life flexibility that gives intangible benefits that are awesome. It's been said that having time flexibility with one's work is the surest way to increase our happiness and lifespan.

We need to move past the hierarchical model of staff/leadership to a fluid one in which everyone is respected and does the roles that they can and want to fill. This can happen in a distributed manner. Labs and groups which take a flexible attitude to these work relationships are and will be successful. Eventually it will catch on.
A while back I mentioned to my mother that I had been to a "reddit meet up" and my mother, predictably, had never heard of reddit. Later, reddit made the news, I forget exactly what for, but in was the category of harboring child pornographers, racists, or nude celebrity photos. What I did remember is hoping my mother didn't see this news article and conclude that I was out meeting with racist pedophiles.

The thing is, it's not wrong to say that pedophiles and such use reddit. They do, in the same way they use phones, TVs, and cars. It's not an apt description though, if someone asks you what reddit is, to talk about the racism and hate and what not. The reason being is that the bad stuff isn't the typical reddit experience and doesn't describe the whole thing well.

In Scott's post he gives the example of the Wizard of Oz review (girl goes to a surreal landscape, kills the first person she meets, then teams up with three strangers to kill again). Maybe it's technically true, but it's not an apt description. It doesn't really capture what the movie is like.

Where I'm going with this is: maybe you can find neo-reactionary or pro-eugenics or racist comments on the blog. I don't recall any examples of horrible comments from the NYT but maybe they are there. Maybe you can find a line or two, like the "feminists are Voldemort" that seem bad and worse outside of context. That's not really what the blog is about though and in a newspaper article describing it probably shouldn't zero in on minor blemishes or debatable flaws and use them as the main focus. Wasn't this supposed to be about Silicon Valley's Safe Space, or getting into the zeitgeist of the "rationalists"? How did the NYT article even attempt to do that? To my reading the NYT was just focused on complaining about the "problematic" aspects and nothing else.

I think it's fair to talk about problematic comments on a blog but it's not fair to act like problematic comments or loose associations to objectionable figured are the main thing when they really aren't.

Regarding your point about the feminists and Voldemort, if memory serves Scott was referring to a specific group of feminists and not likening all feminists to Voldemort. That's not really the impression I got from the NYT though.

This article seems to suggest GMO crops reduce pesticide use. Maybe we need to collect the data for both GMO crops and non GMO crops on pesticide use. But who should we trust to collect that data?

Back in the day I built a couple using sharpie and the radio shack etching solution. I did two using the laser printer transfer method as well. After doing a double sided board, it drove me nuts- you have to solder small wires for your vias. Once you order boards once you'll never go back- it just solves so many headaches and possible mess ups. Give it a try!

I hope this opens the door to E.E. "Doc" Smith-style "intertialess" drives. There would still be the weirdness of time dilation, but it would be possible for people to travel to distant stars and back again.

Build it on top of wordpress, for sure. You could accomplish something not-so-pretty in a day with Wordpress as your foundation. Maybe even faster if you use v3.0 beta.

Seems like this could be a huge leap towards the unified locations database many have called for. Sure it'd be nice if it was an open sourced database, but just like with Facebook and identity, corporate control is currently far more practical.

I'm curious how strong your ethics are

AFAIC, "ethics" is not a scalar, but a switchable bit, so it's not a matter of strength, but binaryness.

would you still be involved in business?

It sounds like you're asking, "Would I ever sacrifice my personal standards for money?" Then answer is, "No, it's just not worth it."

If I had to compromise my ethics (or any other part of myself) just to improve my chances of making a deal or be more effective in business, I wouldn't even bother. I'd probably just go off and drink beer or write poetry or something like that. You may not like or understand my answer, but that's just the way it is.

Life is just too short to live it any way other than how you choose.
> "But you're going to have to explain to me how I can read or write a file on a ChromeOS without Google knowing what is read or written."

Well you can use HTML5 local storage, cookies, db etc, or you can store stuff on 'the cloud'.

If you don't trust google, then that's another matter.

How do I know that my linksys router isn't tracking everything I do? Because I trust linksys not to do that. Same here. If I buy a ChromeOS device, I'll just have to trust Google aren't going to be evil.
The real problem if you're still programming at age 30 isn't that your brain has deteriorated. It's overcoming the daily ennui that comes with the realization that you could have been a multi millionaire by now if you would have picked better projects to work on. All those old programmers aren't slow because they are dumb, they are slow because they are depressed.
ENIAC: The Triumphs and Tragedies of the World's First Computer, by Scott McCartney presents a slightly different view of the court case. It says that though the courts were on shaky legal ground throwing the patents out (there were fundamental differences between the ABC and ENIAC) it was really done to advance the computing industry, similar to how one of the Ford's (I think) early patents on the engine was ruled to only cover 2 cylinder engines (by that time most cars were onto 4 cylinders, effectively preventing Ford from maintaining a monopoly).
No one here said the Palestinians don't have a good reason for doing suicide bombings. We'll all just be happier if they'll have a good economy so they'll stop blowing up.
I agree that it would be easier to just hire someone since my idea isn't tech intensive, but for a college student like me, I don't have $10k at my leisure for hiring someone, must less $30k to get to product/market fit. Which was why I decided to learn coding myself since I have time and labor, just not money. But like you said, the initial code would be messy and unscalable at first, so my goal at the moment is get to a working prototype and attract/partner up with good tech cofounder afterward who could rewrite the entire thing.
Talent is another word for potential - it's there, but it's not necessarily showing. I know it is hard for anyone living in comfort to truly imagine living in the Middle East, with all the conflict, oppressive regimes, and limitations that are around. I can afford the 800 dollars a year for ADSL 2mbps internet (with a 10GB per month download limitation), but not everyone here can. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a PC at home (or even at school) they can learn to hack on while they are young.

You cannot judge a people to be "talentless" without taking in the context. And you cannot/must not ignore the context in this case. It is not these peoples' fault that they are unable to start the next facebook/twitter/whatever, you have no idea how difficult it was for me to accomplish what I did here. People here will put the same amount of effort as yourself, if not more, and not succeed simply because of the environment they are in.. it takes a lot of work to break away from the layers of obstacles in the way and makes something that can be appreciated by people like yourself.

In answer to your question: Yes, there are. Everyone at Genie-Soft is a talented hacker. I've met dozens of hackers at tech meetups and at conventions sponsored by Google and Microsoft. If you're predisposed to not see these people though, they are easy to miss.
Sure. Your init files are actually .org files so you can arrange your customisations in logical order by sections. The actual code is encapsulated between #+begin_src and #+end_src tags and the init file will generated the proper .el files for you. here's an extract:

Personal customisations

* Settings
** Paths

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

;; PATH settings

(setenv "PATH"
(concat
"/bin" ":"
;; and so on
)

#+end_src emacs-lisp
Colors
Abbreviations
Misc

So your .emacs becomes an org file with all the goodness, organisation and layout friendliness that implies. No need to split all your settings and elisp stuff across different files to keep it tidy - just stick them under another bullet!

IPv6 is not "overly-complicated." It requires some new knowledge on IP address notations and new concepts when talking about DHCP and such, but it is functionally not more difficult than IPv4.
Marketing. Superstars aren't (possibly never were) natural, they're the product of a lot of time and effort getting their look, their feel, their etc all just right. This takes time and effort, but when it works, the results are huge.

Phoronix does do this, but it's unfortunately harder to use than would be required for wide adoption in the press. It really has to be as simple as downloading an exe that pops up a window with a "go" button when run, and has to show some nice things happening on screen. Game and graphics benchmarks do this, so that's what they use.
TBH, I don't really think it has much to do with who owns them. The reason people are dissatisfied has to do with the fundamental experience of using an app to find love in the first place. Apologies for not having a link, but there has been a good amount of research that shows that the rise of apps and the internet has made it much less likely for people to date outside of their "attractiveness level". That is, previously, it was quite common for people to become friends as part of a mutual friend group, and after that happens your looks actually start to be less important. Someone who gets to know you may find you physically more attractive because they actually find your personality engaging.

With apps, though, there is plenty of data (the OkCupid blog has tons of great posts about this) that attractiveness is what counts far and away the most. And that's not surprising given the modality of how apps work, and I don't really see that changing.

I think people are generally unhappy with online data because it has a tendency to commoditize an interaction, and that's very unfortunate IMO.
The next time you come here, I'll probably still be trying to figure out what this sentence means: "And I'd like to see some evidence from sorts of people who about how great minimalism is that it does."

> Would probably have been the same boost in productivity if you had chosen TypeScript though

Nope. It wouldn't. You can replace "Typescript" in your sentence with pretty much any other "-script" thing: Coffescript, ScalaJS, KotlinJS, etc., and it still wouldn't be closer to the truth.

The biggest advantage of Clojurescript is out-of-the-box support for interactive development. You are connected to your running application. And without any ceremony, without re-compiling or even saving anything on the disk, you can tweak the program without resetting the state of it. If you have never experienced that first hand, it would feel like it's not a big deal. Alas, it really is.

Clojurescript right now (at least for me personally) is the fastest way to prototype anything for the browser. Building things like web-scrapers feels like magic. You just run the program, connect to it and keep experimenting with things until you get the results you want. No other language ecosystem today gives you that liberating feeling. Almost everything else feels too formal and bureaucratic - can't do "this" without "that". It becomes pretty tedious and often removes "the fun" from programming.

So, yes, I attest to that - Clojurescript can give you incredible productivity boost.
I'm so glad that you come by Hacker News. What are you doing these days?
