They've more than redeemed themselves for me with their 2020 keyboards though. In direct comparison between my current 2020 Intel 13", my previous late 2013 13" and a work-issued 2018-ish 13" butterfly MBP, the 2020 wins hands down. Feels mostly like the late 2013, but slightly less mushy, not that I'd ever considered the late 2013 one mushy, but in direct comparison, it's slightly mushier, if that makes sense.

That said, I know at least one person who genuinely prefers the butterfly mechanism, there must be dozens such people out there.

Edit: The late 2013 one got a new keyboard in early 2020 as part of a inflated battery exchange, so it's not mushy due to wear.
My methods:

- Use focus app block every website which can distract me

- Leave a "low hanging fruit". I can start the day with a very small and simple task and have some success in a couple of minutes. Getting into it is easier that way
Another point of view would be the kernel version. If your service depends on different kernel version. It might be good to have a docker-like VM which could create by Dockerfile <- this is good for CI/CD.

But in general case, their target should be the security.
That's a rather large overlook in a tutorial for a DBMS based app though.
Even in such a case how do you evaluate the quality of the loans leant?
Agreed.

I suppose even Jeff Atwood's blog ultimately had the most impact when he used it to drive the initial traffic to StackOverflow.
Do you seriously think this didn't occur to the Netflix management prior to the switchover?

A couple points:

• Netflix pulling out amid internet drama of anti-competitive behavior would hurt Amazon much worse than it would hurt Netflix. Netflix can find someone to throw their money at to host their infrastructure, but they could deal a pretty hefty blow to Amazon's emerging revenue stream in infrastructure by scaring lots of potential customers away.

• There have been talks about a some-day Amazon / Netflix merger for a bazillion years. This could be a little technical lubricant to such a deal.

Ah, okay, that makes sense. Should have looked up the license before asking. I'll upvote your clarification.
The grass always seems greener on the other side. Academic careers have their own stresses and challenges with many postdocs and pre-tenure professors working slave hours at just-above-poverty wages for many years.

If you want to do academic research (and teach a lot), you are definitely young enough to get a PhD. But make sure you are switching because academia is what you love doing, not because you hate your current state (success in academia requires a major committment). My 2c.
> I would also like it were it easier for everyone, not just a really magnificently rich guy, to defend his legal rights and privileges against the government.

The government is the reification of will of the people, including yourself. It acts out the will of the people, and the will of the people is that the beaches are everyone's property. Sometimes the government is right, sometimes wrong, and having processes to mitigate and remedy is important, however it's not some towering obelisk of Mordor smiting left and right.
At that point why not use a heavier database that one would expect to be faster?
Thankfully these days, places like Digital Ocean and Linode have managed K8s where you only pay for the compute nodes, for $5/month each.

So it's fairly cheap and easy to learn on a "real" cluster without having to build one.

I have some background wargaming for the DoD. As to Red Flag numbers generally reported, it was setup to heavily favor F-35’s. Amusingly at one point they further boosted the K/D ratio after the fact from 15:1 to 20:1.

Actual air war looks very different, with a significant focus on cruse missiles early on etc. But again, comparing the F35 with outdated equipment is missing the point.
I highly recommend the book Cribsheet on this topic (https://www.amazon.com/Cribsheet-Data-Driven-Relaxed-Parenti...). The author is an economist at Brown and applies research techniques to determine where there are causal relationships between parental behavior and child outcomes.

For example, she looks into the research behind breastfeeding vs formula – a very hot topic where I already see the pitchforks coming out in this thread. Her conclusion if I'm recalling correctly is that there are only relatively minor direct benefits to breast milk over formula. But there are significant benefits to being the type of parent that is intense + dedicated enough to breast feed despite how unpleasant many mothers find it to be, and that dedication explains why studies turn up larger differences in outcomes between breastfed vs formula fed babies (it's just correlation vs causation).
If IE's (any version) longevity is any indication, you don't. Use feature detection, not user agent.
It's hard to argue against rent control because one is effectively forced to advocate for kicking the most vulnerable people out of their homes, but you can count me as deeply suspicious of anything that incentivizes people to stay in one (poor) place instead of having the economic mobility to live in any area they desire.
> Considering that real SVG support across all major browsers didn't become stable until early 2020

> With the release of Chromium-powered version Microsoft's Edge browser in early 2020, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) became fully supported across all major browsers.

These are not good claims. I've tested Internet Explorer 11 (released in 2013) and it supports lots of SVG features already. I agree with the article that we should use SVG icons, but think it should have been done 5+ years earlier.
That clearly isn’t true of Berkeley. The current zoning and design rules of Berkeley outlaw Berkeley as it stands. The current question is whether we should return to the rules under which 85% of the city was built.
You’re also ignoring the impact of cultural values here. Education is particularly favored in Nigerian cultures, especially amongst immigrants.
What the heck is your problem and why the personal attacks?

I was discussing my take on the aspect of FAANG, and why saying "they're all bad" is silly.

You don't know anything about me. I was homeless for 8 years and paid my way through school by working. It took me 10 years to graduate, and I had to go back and forth because there was no continuous offering of requisites courses and money was tight.

Maybe you're projecting and should consider glass houses and such? I hope your life is Oreos and you had nice parents, because mine were shit. It's too bad you're unable to have positive conversations and have to jump straight to prejudice and negative behavior.

I wish you good health, empathy, and better curiosity in the future.
I must be unlucky then.

It's amazing that this seemingly small project got YC invested.

Is that because you have a great traffic? Or it's your background? Or they just love the idea and the demo?

Yes, this is a real problem on HN. I've written about it over the years: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme.... Unfortunately it seems to be a fundamental tradeoff rather than anything easy to fix.

I'd love to get more people to understand that editing out the nasty bits from their comments (not that the GP was nasty) doesn't mean making everything bland.

Why do I need to register to try it out? I'd be happy to spend a few minutes of my time trying something new, but having to fill in all this information is too much friction. I won't bother.

A button that allows me to create an anonymous test account with one click would be nice. If I like the service, I would like to turn my test account into a proper account, keeping my data. If I don't like it, and abandon my test account, you can delete it automagically after a month. Please do keep me logged in the whole month, though - I might change my mind and come back again.
Google Voice is about half a product in my opinion. Once they actually integrate VOIP calling on my mobile I'll agree.

More likely, they said, "Load <archaic file format> into <obsolete software> on the <ancient machine you'd have to get from a computing history museum> to control <manufacturing process nobody uses anymore>."

And after fiddling with the design for a while, someone said, "Well, we can approximate that with <modern manufacturing process>, but the <technical characteristic> is going to be 10 instead of 5. Is that okay?"

And there was nobody around who knew.

No, it could be a private key shared among users.
Similar thing happened in the Netherlands a few days ago.
Also, Denmark is completely flat. Like, you won't believe how flat it is. Denmarks highest point is "The Sky Mountain" and it's 147 m (482 ft) high. That's how flat Denmark is. The utility of a bike increases a lot when you only have to pedal equal to the rolling resistance.

> Strangely there is always lots of talk about “profit sharing” and not “profit and loss sharing”.

That's because corporate limited liability shields stakeholders from losses beyond their sunk costs.

As an employee, you probably are close to last in line behind most of the other creditors, and may have to just write off that last (missed) paycheck. But that paycheck you are never going to get is the full extent of your liability for the company's losses, even theoretically.

Not that it encompasses all the risks you're exposed to (time not working, looking for a new job, etc.) But those are the same regardless.
Those are great if you want 5 million of something, all exactly alike.

Not so good if you want 5 of them, or even 5,000 of them, or if you want each one to be slightly different.

Edit to expand slightly:

People will, in general, prefer having a (thing) to not having it, even if that means that their (thing) is exactly the same as the one millions of other people have.

BUT... they will also prefer a (thing) that is uniquely theirs to one that's the same as everybody else's. In general, people are even willing to pay a premium for this. How much? That depends on the item, but in any case 3D printers lower the cost barrier for a custom item.

I am not surprised that hearing aids (cited in the article) are a popular use case. That's exactly the kind of thing that benefits from customization -- everybody's ear shape is somewhat different -- and the small amount of plastic means that one can be printed quickly and relatively cheaply.

Shoes and clothing in general are other good examples. It's widely accepted that custom-made shoes and tailored clothing are superior to off-the-rack, but most people can't afford clothes that are cut specifically for them (at most, a guy might have an off-the-rack suit altered by a tailor, but bespoke tailoring is beyond the means of most people).

How does the clothing industry change when people can afford custom-made clothes? Quite a lot, I'd imagine.

It clearly does. In some videos, rioters and terrorists can be seen damaging the barricade and police officers scuffling with them and preventing them from getting inside.

But there is at-least one video, that I have seen, no such thing takes place. They just allow the terrorists inside.

Stop spreading lies.

This is a problem of planning; I don't think more or more frequent planning is the answer.

Instead you need to make the minimum viable thing, even more minimally. Make sure the very first iteration is end-to-end usable to solve a real problem. Then you'll notice if you can't use async on the backend before putting async everywhere. You'll notice if you're testing too much. And you'll have a better understanding of your burn rate because you've done all the tasks, including the things like design and hosting and legal that can easily be forgotten.
As a startup entrepreneur which don't doubt about success and growth -- how could I ? ;) -- I am very interested in the work invested by the whole team in a sane and enjoyable workspace.

What are the trade-offs ? I always feel like only the exceptional rich companies can sustain such high standard of living, the same rich which will respond that it's the only way for keeping an healthy work in the end.

Seems like a never ending chicken and egg problem that I don't have time to solve, I have hard deadlines to manage... (it's slightly exaggerated, of course, but you got the picture)

Hmm, I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I recently logged on to an (admittedly older) mac machine and it took roughly 3 minutes to fully log in. Then I spent some significant time fumbling around a clumsy gui like a pleab.

After that, cd’ing around my minimal - yet blazing fast - thinkpad w/ void linux felt nearly exhilirating. Didn’t have to touch the mouse for many minutes at a time.
Your questions have been answered by pretty much every startup book going, but try "Running Lean" for a quick read that covers most of it.

Here's some quick advice, but tbh you could write a book answering this question. I suppose the general point of this answer is _you're asking the wrong question_.

Firstly: the mistake nerds make is asking "Can I Build it?" rather than "Will they buy it?"

There is a distinct difference between a _business_ and a _side project_. Nerds enjoy and are great at building side projects. Building a business is much much more than that. It's much more difficult. It requires a range of skills. And absolutely crucially, the software is _part of the business_ rather than the business being an "add on" to the software.

Writing software is almost never the difficult part of the business.

You should have a business model canvas describing your business. If you don't have one, create one (or more) to match your different models. You can knock one out in 15 minutes.

Now you have the canvas in front of you, you know exactly what you think the problem is and who you think your potential customers are. Great. Now you can go gather information that tests those hypotheses. No problem if you're wrong - you'll just need to adjust your hypotheses and try again.

How many of those potential customers have you spoken to and formally interviewed? I can guess it's none or very few, because those interviewees become your customers and you're having trouble getting customers. It should almost never be a "release the product on the world and sell it", but "build a product with users / potential customers". Most of us are not Steve Jobs or Apple.

Go back to basics. What are the three main painpoints you're fixing? What is the problem they have? Now speak to a CEO. Ask them what their biggest painpoints are. Mention excel, as them if they use it. Talk about it. See if they raise those painpoints. If they don't, you're off the mark. Find out what they _do_ care about. Be open minded to the idea of having to change your product.

Diving into specifics about copywriting or marketing strategies is pointless if you haven't gotten the fundamental right, that is: "make something people want" as some incubator likes to say.
I can't tell if this post is presenting a trivial idea as a novel one or not. Typical compression algorithms indeed are not good at compressing a short text, but only because they have no prior knowledge about the input distribution. There are several ways to feed that knowledge to existing algorithms (e.g. zstandard custom dictionaries).

The "Type-Based Compression Algorithm" presented in the post does not do any kind of distribution modelling. It simply assumes that every possible input is uniformly distributed, hence incompressible, and that's obviously not true. The post gives an example of Turkish car number plates; its first two digits indicate the province code, so you will see certain two-digit prefixes more frequently. TBCA can't see this distribution.

TBCA can also try to limit the range of first two digits for the better coding, but it will break with a new province code. Typical compression algorithms might be inefficient for those inputs but can surely handle them. This is perhaps the biggest drawback of TBCA: a wrong assumption of the input data results in a hard failure (unless you have an escape code). It is not the same kind of algorithm you can compare with general compression algorithms. It is just a clever database schema that gives some compression without those general compression algorithms.

This reminds me of this paper that also caught my attention. They used an array language to make convolutions run very fast on CPUs.

I've worked on a ePub parser and renderer and the issues you're describing sound pretty familiar.

The three main components of the ePub (aside from the actual pages) are the TOC, the spine and the manifest. The manifest basically tells you where everything is, the TOC is the table of contents which can link to various pages and the spine gives you the traversal order.

Some mistakes I've seen are using the TOC to traverse the book. Using the spine to traverse the book but not handling hidden pages properly. Not handling two page spread properly.

So yeah the spec is nuanced and it would be easy to make a reader that worked with a lot of books but then had weird issues on another set of books that aren't particularly different. We ended up writing our own parser because we kept finding issues with the main open source ones.

I recall using this repo (https://github.com/IDPF/epub3-samples) to test specific functionality to make sure it was in line with the spec.
I guess that depends on jurisdiction and I don't know the situation in the US. What I do know is that in the EU you have to enforce your trademark so that it does not get a commodity. That's a fight that Lego is fighting on multiple ends right now.
This is also how I've been building web apps lately. I build the API, then build the app on top of the API. Eating my own dogfood ensures that it's tasty enough for my palate.

Actually, I think your reasoning is well "reasonable". :)

I also agree with you that the hijack/missile scenario seems unlikely at this point (existing safety precautions seem appropriate).

I remain surprised (but happy) that terrorists have not gone after softer targets (malls, etc). For some reason, they remain very focused on airplanes (maybe the shock and awe effect). As a result, taking steps to make air travel as safe as possible seems reasonable.

Now - how we do that is an open question. We have already had an underwear bombing attempt. How do we prevent this from being attempted again? The only solution I have seen is the current scanners and sadly the "pat down". If there is a better one, lets deploy it. If not, then it seems the argument is personal privacy > the lives of the unfortunate passengers aboard the plane that explodes when the terrorists are successful. No?

If the underwear bomber had been successful, would you have a different view?
The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution restricts government's ability to seizure people. A person is seized when a reasonable person in that situation would feel that they are not free to leave. Normally, seizure requires a warrant, but there are exceptions, all of which I think require that the seizing officer have probable cause that a crime has been committed and the person who committed the crime is the one being seized.

By asking the police officer if he was free to go, the traveler was triggering this kind of analysis in the officer's head. The officer knows that he cannot seize without probable cause. He can probably temporarily detain the traveler while the TSA investigate the situation, but ultimately, if there's no probable cause, the traveler must be allowed to leave.
> You're talking about something different.

No I’m not. Exercise for the reader to figure out why. The key thing here is that you want a mutable variable for each closure, but not shared between loop iterations.

Why does this matter? Because it doesn't just extend to writers. It extends to engineers, scientists, programmers, architects; basically anyone who makes things.

Having to worry about whether or not what you say, write, or think is illegal has a cost to creativity, since it will inevitably affect behavior like sharing ideas. imo this is one major reason that western nations produce more innovation than places like China. It's what gives the West an edge. If this trend continues over the long haul, western governments may finally achieve killing the goose that lays golden eggs; eventually we may just end up being on par with places like China minus the industrial output.
In California, property taxes are assessed only when the property is sold. So people have an interest in seeing their "investment" become more valuable. Their taxes are the same either way.
