I think personal computers area good analogy to kitchen equipment, but I draw the opposite conclusion.

Back in the 1980s, only a small group of elite users had access to workstations built by companies like SGI, which had advanced graphics beyond anything the average person would know. Many people couldn't type and had secretaries to do it for them.

Nowadays, there are millions of people who know how to use advances tools like Photoshop, every computer is essentially a workstation, and some people even want to see every child learning how to code.

Food literacy and kitchen equipment are going on the same trajectory, and I'd put my money on the food startups that cater to the high end of the market, which will eventually been the mainstream.
Great, now ancestry.com com can tell you when you are literally the spawn of an unholy love child?
Comparing glass blowing to prostitution is ridiculous. Calling them both professions is an academic approach to a very non-academic industry. I'm reminded of recent debates about whether female porn stars should be allowed to reject working with male stars on the basis of race or religion. That isn't allowed in other professions, at least in some states. But sex work is not subject to the same rules as other professions because it just isn't comparable to any other profession.
Just out of curiosity, what did they do with the mix from that warehouse?
Ask HN: How should we think about new features?
Hi guys,

We have quite a dilemma about our product(team collaboration aka kanban tool product) and would really like some feedback.

The question is:
Should we stay broad and do general features like launching a public api, integration to slack, making it a lot easier to create cards, launching an iOS app etc. Or would it be better to take a small niche like construction and develop features specifically for them? Or maybe an even smaller niche like hardware companies manufacturing bluetooth components for 3rd party customers. What would you do? How do you generally think about new features?
Which Pascal? Assuming the smallest desktop Pascal, GP107 is at 768 CUDA cores. Tegra X2 Pascal has around 256 CUDA cores. They seem to be clocked similarly. The Tegra also has a lot lower memory bandwidth and stuff like that but we'll put that aside for now. We'll need the Tegra to x3 in performance. Maybe in 6? years we can get a GP107 performance in tablet form factor. The GTX 1080 has 2560 CUDA cores. That's another 3x from GP107. So maybe 12 years for ~1080 performance in tablets.
I am confused why C# came up or why you'd call it's in/out parameters "guessing."

Your second paragraph seems to invalidate your first?
Maintenance and repairs were a lot when they had to pay someone to do everything.

Then when I entered the family, suddenly I could repair appliances, replace plumbing fixtures, replace outlets and switches, install lighting, it never ends. Many trips to San Francisco from Silicon Valley for repairs.

I think if they could have raised the rents when tenants changed, and have been allowed 3-4% annual increases, instead of 2% or less, then it would have been sustainable. But tenants passed on the apartments to friends and relatives, and the rent was delivered in cash to our house.

A lot of apartment building owners in San Francisco aren't wealthy, and own just one small building. The lesson that was learned is that it's a really bad idea to own rental property in a city with such confiscatory rent control. And this rent control only on older properties ends up driving up prices on non-rent controlled properties because it constricts the market-rate supply.
Yep. Seen it happens. The only path to right the wrong perception is to start anew elsewhere.
So far it looks like this may have been the issue. I've done some stress testing of things that always made it fail to resume in the past, and it has successfully woken up each time.

Thanks for the tip!
One of the first GMOs that got people really worked up was the "fishberry". It's a fruit engineered to better resist low bruising in low temperatures. Nothing involved pesticides of any sort.

I suspect you will find most anti-GMO activists do not want and will not support separate labeling as you describe.
I think the issue is culture, not 'female devs'.

Maybe not so much in games - but in almost every other field where devs work - they have a lot of influence over the product. So it's part of the issue.

Devs are usually the one's founding the company ...

But gaming, I guess not so much. So maybe less of a requirement.

But remember that most 'great things' come from inspiration all around. Game devs might 'love games' and put that 'extra umph' into it to make the game great. The little tweaking that's inspired.
Licensing GPL software can be a nightmare. Using Apache, BSD, MIT, LGPL means I don't have to give licensing a second thought.

And speaking as someone who writes software for a non-profit, we figure we should just give away the code we write rather than put our own political license on it, especially considering we don't pay taxes in order to make it easier for us to benefit "the people".
Absolutely agree with you and my apologies if my comment made it out to sound like I felt like he did not work for what he has accomplished.

> No problem with what he did and it sounds like he does a great job

My comment was about the indiehackers title and link. It seems to be a pretty common occurrence for that site to greatly exaggerate the 0 to $X and this article is unfortunately no exception. Much respect to Elliot for all he has accomplished.
I agree that the packaging of Perl 6 needs to be improved, particularly for Windows. It's easy in Linux and Mac.

Languages are a specification and implementation. Perl's been implemented in Rakudo, which runs on MoarVM and the JVM. It's handy being able to run on multiple VMs so that you can take advantage of their strengths, and in particular, places that deploy the JVM for Java will be simpler to integrate with, and apparently you can do stuff across with Java libraries even, though I haven't played with that at all myself.

http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo/#Installing-Rakudo-Star-... that's how I get it. Rakudo::Star is just a bundle of Rakudo with a bunch of commonly used modules which can be handy to have already installed.

Right now you get your choice of MoarVM or JVM to use as the tie into your OS, and MoarVM gets selected by default. It's started showing up in Linux distributions now too.
Ask HN: Do you have any great stories of localization/globalization failure?
Please share well known highly public failures as well as personal projects or smaller scale less known examples.

This tool is awesome. All the other surveys I find seem to hit the low end, but if this data is true, then the rates I've been quoting are spot on.

Thanks for posting this.
Google is doing the same.

They just gave a death sentence to GCC on the NDK, by declaring it as deprecated and it will only stay around until clang support catches up with GCC.

Brillo has even less GPL components than Android and in Fuchsia I imagine not a single one, given that they are even doing their own micro-kernel.
The best way to learn C for Python programmers is to dive into CPython interpreter or C-API extensions. Also use Cython annotation outputs to see how Python translates into C calls.
Ask HN: Examples of companies promising to open source if they shut down
Are there any examples of companies promising to open source in the event they shut down operations? Parse is an example of open sourcing following the shutdown of the product, but as far as I know they didn't bake this in to any agreements with their users.
Do you plan to host a container registry? My use case is wanting to build an image containing SSL server certificates, which I cannot push to, e.g. Docker Hub.

Excuse the tangent, but what problem does Firebase solve?

I was updating my app and AdMob and they want me to use Firebase now.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/admob/ios/quick-start

I wanted to know why should I include it just to use AdMob so I checked the video on the page: https://youtu.be/9qCxo0D-Sak
They promise to explain benefits for me but they only tell me how to use it. The docs also don't do it.

It seems to me that it solves more some problem Google has than the developers have.
Unfortunately most people now consider major versions to indicate major feature additions rather than breaking changes.
Interesting. I suppose it is possible that my concerns are somewhat orthogonal to minimalism <-> stuff axis, which is what you do with it. My things aren't really anti minimalism, but in service of something more akin to Persig's quality. I do things with my stuff that favors craft, creativity, and a general building/progress goal. My desire to serve these needs pushes me away from minimalism, but not in pursuit of things, things are a consequence, not a goal.
None of those are particularly controversial from a scientific perspective, only a political one. Meanwhile the long-term future and impact of GMO's and the companies who control them are genuinely uncertain, not merely political charged.

> >In science, the burden of proof is on the new thing to unequivocally prove itself true...not 'harmless until proven harmful.'

> Actually, science is not on either side. Science is science. Putting the burden on one side or the other is purely a human policy decision. It has nothing to do with scientific principles.

I think you are actually wrong about this. In order for a hypothesis to be scientific, it must be falsifiable. This is reflective of the principle in reason that the burden of proof falls of the claimant of the positive claim.

The real question here is, "which is actually the negative claim?" Is claiming something safe a negative claim, or is claiming something is harmful a negative claim?

This is where I think OP is incorrect: safety is merely lack of harmfulness. Therefore, claiming that something is safe is the negative claim, and claiming that something is harmful is the positive claim. A reasonable person should assume things are safe until there is significant evidence that they are harmful.

"it does not allow me to fix a bug in a product I paid for"

Would you go into more detail here? It seems to me, to use the router as an example, even if they were to make the source code available, getting updated code to run on the router would still be difficult, if not impossible, depending on how the software is running on the hardware. Is it burned into ROM? Are you able to flash firmware? I'm admittedly speaking from ignorance here. How are these types of issues addressed purely from the point of view of the GPL (or any other license, for that matter)?
Turn on all compiler warnings (-Weverything for Clang and RTFM for GCC (no, -Wall doesn't turn all the warnings on)).

Scanbuild (LLVM based, Linux and macOS)

Perf (recent Linux) or DTrace (macOS, SmartOS, Solaris and FreeBSD)

Valgrind (Linux, macOS) with the KCacheGrind/QCacheGrind (CPU usage), Valkyrie (leaks and undefined behavior) and Massif-visualizer (memory usage) GUIs

The compiler sanitizers (GCC, LLVM, Linux and macOS)

strace (Linux)

HeapTrack (Linux, a true hidden gem, best memory profiler ever)

Binutils (Linux, macOS)

And really, get to know your debugger. Both GDB and the Visual studio debugger are extremely powerful. If you think a debugger does beakpoints and nothing else, you really, really need to get to know your debugger better. LLDB is getting there too, it will catch up soon (surprising given how long it took the other 2 to mature).

For people from a Python background, know that both GDB and LLDB are available as a Python shell with full access to the C program internal. You can add triggers to execute Python callbacks, conditional breakpoints and even gather stat and have them display in MathPlotLib or iPython Notebook.

That still sounds criminal to me.
I'm 18 years old, doing full-stack web dev for ~2 years (Django, node.js, whatever.js, no wordpress stuff) and charge ~35-40 euro/hour while studying computer science.
I get most of my projects through word-of-mouth and I'm currently trying to create products that allow me to build a small company - I'm partnering up with some software developers, entrepreneurs and a project manager.

It's not uncommon that web agencies in Germany only charge 70 euro/hour, so I would like to hear what's necessary to charge something like 100-150 euro/hour - seems like those rates are only possible in the US or doing specialized things like SAP consulting. It's difficult to compare those US numbers because the german system seems to be very different wrt salaries - 60-70k is considered good even for experienced developers, while it seems that those numbers are absolutely sub-par for US developers.

Would love to hear some tips on how to acquire new clients (especially in non-tech industries) and how to find interesting business problems to solve.

My strategy would be to reach out to local companies, analyze their businesses and build solutions that save them time and money (very similar to business consulting except doing software engineering) and getting inspiration for SaaS businesses. Would like to hear your opinion about this way.
> The most difficult thing for me was actually the proof of address.

You don't need to prove a UK address, just an address. Depending on the bank, you can open a UK bank account with an overseas address, and change it after you move.

If you haven't planned ahead, then anecdotally Barclays will open an account in branch with only a passport.
It also says: If each instance of the device uses a different key, then you need only give each purchaser a key for that instance.

Allowing each device to generate a second, local signing key and allowing the user to export it for signing modified components likely would fulfill this requirement. Most Apple devices probably already have some crypto module that could generate and manage such a key.

Apple cares about developers, those that love and enjoy writing applications for Apple OSes.

What offends me is people completely turning off their bullshit filter just to fit some facts into a narrative they find compelling. It's literally the opposite of the scientific method, and the last thing I'd like to see in Hacker News.

If anything, this election has shown how many people are willing to dismiss reality just so they feel comfortable supporting a particular candidate. Both parties are guilty of it, but one party has perfected the method with decades of anti-intellectualism and pandering to the extreme factions in our society.

We are seeing what made America great (evidence-based, pragmatic decision making) dismantled in the altar of team loyalty. We should be extremely worried, not making light of it for some "troll points."
Some inc article I saw on HN with Sam Altman talking about how important startups are to the economy, couldn't find exact one.

Objection to GMOs because you don't want multinationals to "own" genomes is not a very sane approach, because seed patents or developer IPR in its various forms in different countries is not related to seeds being GMO. Practically all seeds are "patented" and owned by "multinationals".

You are factually wrong here. Science as we know it today is, what?, 150 years old? Are you really saying that all the achievements of human civilization up to ~1870 were plain dumb luck???? I don't know you, but, when I try to convince people of something, calling them idiots is generally a bad idea.

More over, your claim comes of as self serving and disengineous: "How dare you point out our mistakes, we have had plenty of successes too".

This attitude is eroding faith of the common people in science, and there's no one but the scientists to blame for that. The antivaxes might be all wrong, but I don't blame them for distrusting people that talks them down like that.
The thing that changes people's minds is that they get accustomed to the new normal. Potatoes and tomatoes were once strange, new plants to Europe. Now they're core parts of the diet in many places.

Relying on the distinction between knowledge and belief is unfortunately much more difficult than it sounds. To a person approaching a subject in total ignorance, there is no good way to determine truth from well-written falsehoods. People tend to use their emotions as a proxy in the absence of any reliable knowledge.

There are small groups like rationalists who attempt otherwise, but they tend to be found taking modafinil and reading the Sequences instead of trying to convince a worried organic-foodie.
I think ZigBee has already been deprecated in favor of Thread, which seems to be slightly more focused on security, although it's still probably nowhere near where it needs to be.

The vendors of Thread devices probably care even less about security and, for instance, choose to make every single one of their devices Internet-accessible instead of creating gateway apps for a local mesh network of devices.

In terms of your first $100k insured in US bank via FDIC (above that you have to have personal insurance which is very expensive), it might take even 15 years to recover your funds, depending on complexity of claims and number of different instruments that bank has offered to its clients.

For example, there are still open and active claims in case of NextBank that has been shut down in 2002, and had some updates on status done in early 2015, some 13 years later [1]

Personally I suggest keeping 70% of your financial assets in cash in safe at home, preferably split into 20% in low-volume silver coins (80% silver) and 20% in foreign currency (EUR) and the rest in USD.

Yep, they are going to sue you or maybe not. If you buy something at a bake sale you should understand you are taking a chance. If you decide to sue, I guess you find out how your peers think about who is responsible.

If you open an actual business, I'm perfectly fine with you obeying the regulations and having them in the first place. I am not fine with arresting people for bake sales and making some food for you are your request. There is a simple, logical difference of scale between these activities and only an absolutist government or individuals cannot distinguish between them
