This is interesting and thanks for sharing.

I don’t think it’s accurate to describe Yeti coolers as USA made though: https://www.allamericanmade.com/where-are-yeti-coolers-made/

For USA made, I found Cordova, which I recommend especially because they use a denser foam, so you get more storage capacity for the same exterior dimensions: https://shop.cordovaoutdoors.com/48-qt-adventurer/
NetBSD documentation is just straight up missing sometimes. iirc a lot of kernel interfaces are both missing documentation and are different than other BSDs. You either need dig through the source or ask for help.
> where your employer and banks send some forms to the government

This already happens in the US, your employer sends a W-2 to the government reporting exactly how much taxes they've paid on your behalf. Your bank does something similar.

AND THEN everyone is required to fill out a form reporting how much they've earned, as if the government didn't already know, just so Intuit can make more money. Yaaaay, capitalism!
Reminds me a bit of the way java first did aspect oriented programming. Compared to how .net does it, one can see how much better it is when a critical part of a language is actually taken care of inside the language itself, rather than as a separate process.
Did you read the whole intro?

> Sometimes people who already know a programming language will read this book and feel I'm insulting them.
I more than agree. The tragedy is the contender to the throne is Mandarin Chinese (with it's tonality). You will beg to have your perplexing English back.
Yeah, I'm with you on that TBH. There's nothing like a good bit of condescension from a developer to really win over their users. It was sad a few decades ago, and it's still sad now.
"but you have to read it yourself"

Also, you need to try it yourself. Every body is different.

You should try things like multiple small meals, or one big meal, or no carbs, or no gluten and honestly evaluate how they impact your life.
One word: Monero
I came to say that. Even without comparison it should be very obvious that the PHP documentation is incomplete and badly written. The user comments can't make up for that, especially since there is no quality control for them.

The python documentation is an example of good documentation. And again, it's tied to the language's culture, where documentation has a really high priority.
I thought this was going to be about leaving facebook as an engineer.
So did I - I remember a slew of similar articles about leaving Google et al a couple years ago.
Good point. I would be interested to learn about the history of Python's adoption from this point of view.
Check the date in the article. This started under the previous Democratic governor Jennifer Granholm. I live just outside the capital and trust me this was done quietly, very quietly never making the papers until the ACLU lawsuit. Judging from my friends this is opposed by people in both political parties and I doubt will be allowed to stand.
Considering the likely audience, starting with 0 seems adequate. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering)
Presumably, but I haven't tried running it. I'd kind of like to know how to turn off something that's going to do port-forwarding on my machine before starting it up.
It's kind of the design equivalent of studying someone else's code _and_ its execution in one fell swoop. It's also the equivalent of hitting the man pages and learning the syntax and vocabulary of design.

That Cameron Moll link is great, thanks for that!
This guy would have no problem answering one specific question on the YCombinator application:

"Please tell us about the time you most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage."

<g>

Game Shows -- apparently individually constitute such (non-computer) systems... (of which "Press Your Luck" was but one example...)
Wow, just looking through that tells me jQuery still adds a lot of value.
their website has an online shop [0] where you can purchase the things and have them shipped to you, to (ab) use as desired - so hardly 'only (carefully orchestrated) tech demos' any more.

What are you doing? That is a self-signed certificate, so your computer shouldn't trust it. Yet the Desktop apps work fine.

Maybe your version of Signal is too old?
You mean like how the actors union killed off Hollywood?

After literally decades of outsourcing software development to other counties it isn’t much of a threat to the remaining US jobs at this point. There are various arguments about why this is or what might change over time, but unions aren’t going to change the landscape over a few years. Change like this takes decades.
Any word if Windows or MacOS?

Does Windows have a "Find My Mac" equivalent?
Sonic is the best ISP the world has ever known. I hope everyone in California can have them some time soon. They are just a great ISP. 1 gig symmetric fiber, no cap.

I will never stop recommending them so long as they remain what they are now.
Exactly, unless those were the upfront deliverables of the projects, its a failure. Sure, not all the effort was 100% completely wasted but the goal didn't get achieved.
Title should maybe be switched to "Google Cloud vs AWS Onboarding Comparison for YC companies".

Not to say that isn't a useful article on its own, but it's hard to draw too many meaningful conclusions for the rest of us when the first line of the AWS bullet points is "reach out to dedicated YC email".
Side question, any idea how being thin and inactive affect your sexual health? I'm not looking to have kids, but i've been slowly working on healthy activity primarily for my heart and longevity, but i've not heard anything conclusive on sexual health.

Searching for this stuff is difficult due to the lack of knowledge (on my side) and all the blog spam out there.
Thanks for your kind words! It wasn't until we had the miscarriages that all these people came out of the woodwork, sharing their stories with us, about how difficult it was for THEM.

I, too, have tried hard to eliminate all sugar. We're not perfect, but we're way past the 80/20 principle of diet improvement.

I only eat twice a day (sometimes once) and the primary meal is a mushroom/spinach/egg omelet, usually with avocado or sardines, some tumeric/curcumin powder from Costco sprinkled on top, EVOO/Coconut oil, and usually some cheese.

Zero sugar, technically even zero carb.

Dinner varies a bit more, biased towards avoiding things that can be metabolized into blood glucose. It was my birthday recently, my wife got me an icecream cake. I protested a little as I tucked into it. :)

It's amazing the effect that avoiding processed sugar can have, and a little intermittent fasting baked in.

When my wife and I host family, I always am struck by how much work breakfast is. Extra eating, extra dishes, etc. My wife doesn't do that eating schedule, but it works for me.

Re: Super Size Me and the sugar - that's a great point! The soda is a particularly odious offender, I'd love to see the effect of eating just the burger every day.
The most oft-cited example of successful hair restoration (at least in technology circles) is Elon Musk. And yet there doesn't seem to be concrete information about what he did. I assume a well performed hair transplant.
There's a detailed explanation here: https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/115363/is-a-hy...

If you think stock trading and bitcoin mining is the same, then i'm not the one that is stubborn.
It works for so many Presidents and Congressmen though!

Honestly, if I have a 32 character master-password on a strip of paper in my wallet and I just happen to lose my wallet before I get raided, then I'm pretty sure that I could show that I simply don't know the key.
This is not an unique feature today, you can do the same in D and Rust and even C++14, I think.
They're trying a correlation attack on the network. Create enough entries and exits, then matching traffic by time, size, and shape.
> It's not like it's that hard for someone to create a new bricklink-like brick trading site.

That was my first thought.
Or tip the balances of power between the 3 groups.

It seems in the last 10+ years, social media empires and big tech have done just that. It seems to me, the High turned the Middle and Low against each other.
It's somewhat of a fallacy that green is always more expensive than other options, especially if you've already got to adhere to decent standards. Companies are finding that eco-friendly processes and green energy can be the same cost, or even cheaper, that the old processes.

Also, it is possible for a country to become greener without shrinking its economy. There's a lot of economic theory that public investment brings public and private growth. Green infrastructure supporting green industries is already profitable in many places.
Still have my fpw2405. The extra 120 pixels make a difference
It may be a loophole, but I have a hard time seeing how it could be closed. Telling users they can't change the channel or turn off their TV when an ad is playing will never fly.
Sorry! Try again.
Flagging is for stories and comments that break the site guidelines. Obviously there's a wide range of interpretation there. We sometimes turn flags off, but in that case, I'm not inclined to, because from past experience it seems likely that the thread will just turn into an ideological flamewar.
I've heard rumours about a high-frequency trading shop doing that, too
Another anecdote: https://twitter.com/DRxKatherine/status/1241816884166578176
Well with retail you are kind of already in the business of buying and selling hardware, so to me it doesn't seem that big of a stretch. In both you are handling big volumes with very high emphasis on cost-margins.

Search, yeah. Intrinsically maybe not, but Google has some very skilled engineers and researchers, who have pioneered a lot of the modern cloud applications/algorithms eg Borg/k8s, MapReduce, GFS and so on. So they have the know-how on how to build topnotch services, just not maybe as good business-savviness to sell them.
Define privacy. American-style stalls don't permit very much privacy, though in any event "private" is in the mind of the person. That's what makes it interesting--a person's feeling of privacy mediates a very basic physiological function.
I would say there is a more likely than Windows becomes open source and (some) Linux distros will switch to use the windows kernel than the scenario you put forward.

The amount of work it would take to switch Windows to use a linux kernel is mindbuggeling. One thing is the actual task of switching the kernel but documentation, tools suppor, drivers, end user training etc etc makes this scenario unrealistic.

It wouldn't even bring any benefits to Windows. It already has a perfectly fine kernel
How would you feel if you walked by a porn shop, and in the window you saw a magazine cover with a photo of you taken from your public social media accounts printed on the cover with the headline, "Hottest people on Instagram to get off to in 2021". Some people may be flattered by that, but many, many people would feel that it was a violation and an assault to their dignity.
Because the data is now widely available to anyone and his dog
Syntax is extremely subjective. For my part Python's awful syntax is an important reason for why I avoid using it if I at all can (which is almost always).
Something being illegal and something hurting someone are two separate things.
Our galaxy is huge but we don’t really notice because it is so bright, and moreover has been bright for a very long time.

The light we see is old. It’s of interest for studying the science of bright old things but for anything contemporary it is useless. If you ignore our own star and count out the ancient starlight, the sky is completely dark to us.

It is as if we are searching for someone to talk to by rummaging through rocks, looking for fossils. It applies to humans too. Anyone we sent to another star would be gone for years. They would be physically gone, but fundamentally we just wouldn’t be able to talk to them at all for years on end.

Unless something about the speed of light changes, Earth and her inhabitants will always be completely and fundamentally alone.
I’m not familiar enough with Go but at first glance the go mod stuff seemed pretty decent.

E.g. more flexible than Cargo in that you could have a large codebase with two different versions of a dependency isolated to their compile units allowing you to gradually adopt a breaking change dependency in a large code base. I was kinda bowled over with that feature (the isolation part is key).

For python I’m finding poetry much more ergonomic than pipenv, it’s not just the speed difference it’s the convenience of one tool which aligns with what you’re saying although the existence of poetry doesn’t delete historical aberrations in Python’s long history.

And talked about it.
I don't see how any of the problems with facebook are due to any specific aspect of how they operate. It's the nature of any social network. Is there actually less garbage on Insta or Twitter or YouTube? The problem we people feeling compelled to post nonsense, to obsess over status, to be anxious about social inclusion and the free flow of disinformation. Happens everywhere.
1) Your kid will determine how much free time you have. Some infants sleep 22 hours a day. Some sleep 4 hours a day. You can't know which you'll get.

2) Ruthless economizing & prioritizing of what's important to you. Combine activities, e.g. biking to work is commute, exercise, and possibly shower all-in-one.
Fair enough. I was just wondering where the lines of nuance were being drawn.
I don't know if the spatial metaphor really brings anything. I think a few rooms, with proper tooling to signal activity and a way to preview (listen in before you decide to join, or better yet have it play a recent utterance from its beginning) would work wonders. Maybe the system could prompt participants to move to a separate room on sufficient activity, and remind participants to set a text subject once in a while during periods of activity.

Spatialization gives you little, as it's still impossible to listen to multiple conversations at once, and discovering the mapping of location-to-topic is a problem. If you're setting up specific locations for specific topics in advance, what I want to know is who is there and how active they are, not where on a 2D canvas the admin has chosen to position it.
Held in contempt indefinitely?
Second that, and I'd like to add google too with the following alternatives:
1. search: duckduckgo
2. email: proton

I know google is more pervasive in services, these two can be a good start.
Web? Yes. Browser? No.

It is very convenient to have a standard API for accessing hardware over the internet. But marrying this API with browser will inevitably create security nightmare, as previous decades of web technologies taught us.

As a solution I would propose another API layer, between browsers and the host OS. When a browser requires access to a certain hardware capability it requests the access via this API from the OS. The OS is actually the one where this capability support is implemented and vetted, leaving browsers code much leaner than it is now.

The article literally opens with “DID CHINA DISCOVER AMERICA?”
In absence of punishment for fake news, I'd assume it's parody. The presence of such punishment would let you think, "they didn't label it as parody so either they have lots of money to burn on fines, or it might actually be true".
> Is it the desperation of people who need the money so badly they will constantly cheat the system? Can you design for that?

This is the Internet. If you don't design for people cheating you, they will wreck your system as soon as it becomes popular enough to be visible.
Sure, but sex is something practically every human will engage in, and typically starting at a young age.

I don't know exactly what the fetishes/unrealistic expectations you say mainstream media is promoting, but I doubt they have as direct impact as porn does.

As for mainstream showbiz, I certainly don't hold it in high regard either, but I do think it does better than the porn industry. Basically I would be very hesitant about my kid going into showbiz, meanwhile I would do anything in my power to dissuade my kid from going into porn.
How do you stop one person signing up, doing the whole verification process correctly and then someone else using the app/driving the car? The only safeguard that springs to mind is providing a photo of the driver to the user, but that's already implemented.

You could also do spot checks (no idea if they do or not), but that's not going to eliminate the problem just reduce it.
if you can't design for that, then your business is failing a fundamental requirement

The difference is that Apple is banning Admob(bought by Google) from the iPhone apps just because it's owned by Google. The TOS state that no other company that develops a mobile OS can sell ads based on analytics. That's like Ferrari banning GPSes made by Lamborghini from being used in Ferrari cars just because they are made by another car manufacturer.
I don't think Monads are all that complicated. It's just that people think of incredibly clever ways to use them.

I think an article along the lines of, "100 incredibly boring Monads and 5 clever ones", could really help with understanding.
The part about comments? Right on. Don't let the abscess of humanity troll against everything they dislike on your own website. Anyone who thinks you must have comments to be legitimate is under a false sense of entitlement.

Seriously. Just write. Comments in general are a distraction to productivity; comments on blogs are no exception.
Yes, we used aggressive degradation in 2009.

In 2010, after Microsoft sent flowers to IE6's funeral[1] we have been able to use that anecdote to persuade clients to go a step further and actively sign off that IE6 is not supported.

At the least, "Displays and functions correctly in IE6" should be defaulted to "N/A", which would also help make the "N/A" option more discoverable.

"But it wasn't to knock off Apple, it's because Google is building what consumers want and demand now."

Consumers want and demand touchscreen smartphones with large screens and no keypads precisely because Apple trained people to want them.

Google is knocking off Apple, just like Microsoft knocked off Apple with the GUI computer interface. (Apple trained people to want them too). And it's not just Google. You can hardly turn around without tripping over another iPhone knockoff (large touchscreen, no keypad) from Nokia, RIM, Samsung and basically everyone else.

EDIT: Not sure why this is being downvoted - name a touchscreen smartphone that people were raving about before the iPhone? Pointing this out doesn't make me a fanboy. The iPhone wasn't the first of it's kind, but it was the first touchcscreen smartphone people were nuts for. See the number of sales and downloads on the App store compared to anywhere else. Or the fact that despite being locked down, and bundled with shitty carriers, people were still willing to endure that to own an iPhone.
Ok, my experience is that my own lone-founder startup failed a couple of years ago in very large part because I didn't do the things that I claim are missing. I read the post, identified red flags that I failed at finding, and then posted them as a critique, which is what the poster asked for.

I think you are taking a moral position about what should and shouldn't be the tone on HN. I might have missed it, but who elected you to determine what is or isn't "condescending snark"? And from follow-up posts by the original poster and others, it looks like I did offer some real advice. It just wasn't wrapped up in rosy and verbose language that you prefer.
Twitter for Android is, indeed, a total piece of shit. This guy deserved to be fired just for working on the project. Also, I'd like to invite anybody here to try shit talking their boss on Twitter and see how long they last. Go ahead - try it.
Almost invariably, all of the painfully single "nerds" I know have such a thick bubble of pretension that they can't realize that they suck to be around.

No doubt that's true in many cases. But there's a sizable category of single males who constantly wind up in the friend zone with women because they (who am I kidding: we) fundamentally don't produce attraction. PUA techniques are designed to correct that; I can't do them at all, but they really work.
I've just realised that I cook like programmer (or program like a cook). I take a recipe, then cook it multiple times changing different variables (iterating) until I'm satisfied with the results (shipping). The best thing isn't the food, but that you shipped something in a few days ;)
Have you looked at what income you'd get today if you had only the educational attainment of the average man of the last generation at 18 or 20? Or the one before it?

You can't live the same level of life without more schooling now.

It's an educational arms race. Graduate degrees and unpaid internships and long stint in "entry level" jobs that last for much of a decade, etc.
