I think this comment actually nails it.

Most of the current issues in published science are around the 'soft sciences'

They are notoriously hard to disprove I think because they are so wishy washy.

Maths, Physics, Chemistry can get you disproven in a hard way. There's a lot more incentive to make sure your study is valid.
Why we chose Vue.js over React
Due to the DC current flowing in the plasma inducing the plasma's magnetic field it has to be operated in some kind of pulsed mode for operation. See eg. https://www.euronuclear.org/info/encyclopedia/t/tokamak.htm

Whereas the Stellarator has no DC current flowing in the plasma and can operate continuously with no pulsing/ripples.
Banks operate on a completely different model so it's not a useful comparison, but the answer is that they are borrowing at ~0% and lending 2%+ so they view the world differently
I'm on Jekyll.

I started out as a WordPress developer, so once I moved to more advanced programming I kept using WordPress, but it was so annoying to have to keep up with the updates that I decided to try Jekyll because of their static site nature.

Static sites are awesome because they're wicked fast, and they work in perpetuity. I'm a huge fan. If you can handle a little coding I think it's much preferable to a CMS.
Streetcars are generally not called trolleys - unless they are heritage streetcars using trolley poles, generally only in the States. Modern streetcars or trams use pantographs.
Just about to transition most or all of my Wordpress sites to static generate sites, probably using Hugo.

I love static sites. They load incredibly fast, they're extremely cheap to run, the security hassles go way down and, as another commenter mentioned, they work for the long-term. And these days there are plenty of solutions for reader feedback that don't require you to run a Wordpress instance.

Sounds like you should move to work at a company that is beholden to its paying customers. As a marketer at such a company, my job is twofold--to help people find our product (because they can be in market for what we offer but not know we exist), and get them the info they need to make their experience as positive as possible since there is a bit of a learning curve and our data shows that, shocker... people who know how to use our product are more likely to buy it and remain customers because they get more value out of it and unfortunately it isn't always easy to surface that info within the product.

We don't sell or auction off our data because that would not be in the interest of our customers. Admittedly it can be confusing for sales reps from companies who want to put ads on our site when I explain why we wouldn't sell out our customers like that, so we are probably not the norm.

As a marketer it is frustrating when things are done that harm the reputation of the profession just as i imagine many engineers hate bad actors who write malware or people who write basic CRUD apps, talk it up, and give the impression that software engineering is overly simple.
I use Strikingly https://www.strikingly.com to quickly set up personal/business sites for my friends and make some show case single page sites for my projects.
I've been using Nanoblogger, a Bash-based static website generator, for about ten years. It hasn't been updated in the last four, and indeed is still hosted on SourceForge.

I could switch to something newer and better, but why bother?
For my personal website, I wrote a backend in Haskell: https://github.com/myfreeweb/sweetroll after trying a lot of static generators, writing Dropbox-backed blog engines, etc.

It uses the Micropub protocol for posting/editing/deleting (I also made a frontend editor app for Micropub: https://github.com/myfreeweb/micro-panel), Webmention for talking to other websites, Git+JSON to store content.

I don't like the PHP/MySQL CMS world at all, but I use that at work. We use MODX Revolution (with some sites still on Evolution).
Usually, I develop using https://harpjs.com/ because it's literally zero-configuration and does a ton (seriously, "harp server" and you get sass/less, ejs/jade/markdown and more), then compile to flat html, css and javascript.
This part of your statement is incorrect: "It's only money when it's actually money."

Stocks in major corporations are generally considered a liquid asset - i.e., they can be easily converted to cash. [1]

Don't confuse liquidity and risk exposure. The money is still subject to the risk of the market when it's still being held in stocks, but it's approximately as good as money.

Well, will be interesting to see how Dotty plays out.

DOT may have been proven sound, but compilers are complex beasts; implementing DOT while preserving an upgrade path for Scala will likely be both difficult and limiting (since Dotty will inevitably be shackled by Scala's past).

For now we've got Scala though, in a couple of years maybe Dotty.
It's just another example of the "distorted bubble the typical HNer lives in" comment I made a few days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13112407). 95% of people can barely use a computer and I'm supposed to believe that anyone can write an ad blocker?

Anyway, thank you for your work. uBlock Origin is literally the first extension I install whenever I use a new browser/computer. It's lightweight yet powerful and your default lists remove a lot of the work involved in deciding what nonsense to block. Whenever I don't have it installed, I'm amazed at how user-hostile the web has become. We may have gotten rid of pop-ups but advertisers have reached new heights of annoyance with popovers and ads that push down the content you're currently reading. It's absurd that people actually endure 30 second video ads to watch a 1 minute YouTube clip.
Compared to egg-laying (first amniotes, approx 340 million years ago), pregnancy hasn't been around that long. Combined with vertebrates adaptive immune system, a placental-mammal-style pregnancy is bound to be problematic. Interesting that they're trying to untangle specifics, but the overarching "why" isn't that mysterious.

> A guy in a desk job is not a hero.

In the modern world, all large battles are fought out behind desks.

A researcher who gives up a $200k job at a large IT company (e.g. Google or Facebook) for a measly paid job at a university to work on a project with eventual high societal impact IS a hero.
Wikipedia claims that Dutch dictionaries sort 'ij' as if it were two characters, but telephone directories sort as if it were 'y'.

Based on precedent, I'd expect the Unicode Consortium to declare it the radical of a Chinese character.

(it does exist in Unicode, but as a ligature -- U+0132 for majuscule, U+0133 for minuscule -- and decomposes to the two code points for 'i' and 'j', with use of the ligature discouraged)

I know this doesn't "technically" answer your question, but the closest I get to using an iOS device for coding is Duet Display [1]. It turns your iphone/ipad into a 2nd monitor.

It is really cool and works well enough that I use it to roll log files in terminal windows. It is nice to have a 2nd monitor when in a pinch.

You're definitely making a mistake somewhere, because I just tested it for myself and it worked perfectly fine. I made a latin-1 file, applied the above code with it, and got a correct utf-8 file out. Are you reading the final file back as latin-1? You have to read it as utf-8 of course.
My experience with several generations of programmers is that the self-taught can be excellent programmers, but they also tend to not play well with others, have difficulty integrating their code into larger projects, and sometimes wander off into territory (and algorithms) a more formally trained person would know to avoid.

What a load of bollocks.
I'm loving Jekyll. I've been building a blog with it and it's been a joy so far. I also have a 'main site' (just links to my social media and a little 'about me'), which I made using old-fashioned hand-written HTML and CSS. When I started on that I was a total noob, and now I have to update and maintain it, I understand the error of my ways. I'll probably switch to Jekyll for that too. At the moment I'm hosting everything on Netlify.
I have come to fear that we will eventually need GPU drivers in the kernel directly, thanks to more and more of the graphics code out there assuming DRM/DRI etc.

It's amazing to see what was "advanced" JavaScript in 2008 haha.
I would like to say that I don't see Unity as being the same kind of serious option as Unreal or the Cryengine, yet.

Their product sure is impressive and easy to set up and from what I've seen it is great for getting started and making smaller indie games.

However, it doesn't seem to have sufficient support for the kind of large collaborations and processes that you need when making a AAA game. I have read that they've done improvements on some of these things (making their data play nice with revision control systems, for instance). But I'm still not sure they are there yet.
What a strange attitude.

I'm very grateful that my landlord chooses to own an apartment and rent it to me on a short-term basis. I needed housing for four months, I already own a house (which is being remodeled), and I certainly didn't want to try to buy a second house for five months.

For that rental, I'm happy to let my landlord earn a profit, in exchange for taking on the risk of owning and maintaining the property.
I'm struggling to see how that would even be true. ABP literally allows companies to pay to get past their block.
Until recently I've not had problems using ad blockers but in the last month http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ has become good at telling if I'm using one and not returning content if so. I wonder if this is the start of a more general fight back.

I guess as blockers stop ads downloading they just need to have something like an ad or an actual one and check if it's downloaded.
>That's actually quite surprising considering how complex the technology is

I tried installing Kubenetes on my own set of VPS instances to play around with it and learn, and initially failed. I'm sure I could have figured it out eventually, but installing k8s isn't simple.

I found stackpoint.io, and was pretty impressed. Though they support other backends, like AWS, Google Cloud, and so on, they also support Digital Ocean. So, I was able to spin up a kube cluster with almost zero effort, and the low runtime cost of 3 DO VPS instances.

I'm not sure I would use it for production, since it has dependencies on their infrastructure. But, for experimenting and learning, it was a huge help. It's also, at least for now, free.

Disclaimer: No association with stackpoint, just a happy customer.
To serve the ads under the 1st party domain - without ending up in a situation where the entity reporting the number of ad impressions and the entity receiving money based on that number of ad impressions are the same - is often significant effort.
Using Grav for product documentation section. Was looking for something to generate html files initially.

But Grav had a docs theme like rtd. So far it's running without a hitch. I've moved it a few times because its flat file, would recommend it.
Same for Australian corporations (directors become liable for knowingly trading while insolvent). Normally they're treated as completely separate legal entities, but not in this specific case. I'm sure there are instances of this in US law too: I'd always thought the term 'piercing the corporate veil' originated from the US...
That's a very good point. I could add that Steve Jobs was marketing genius at core, that Salesforce's success (especially early on) was heavily driven by marketing, and that Snap's recent rollout of Spectacles is one of the best product launches I've ever seen.

I'll think about that.
I love the technology but I find it amusing to get free energy from fusion we just have to build the most complex energy hogging device ever made.
Nice. Some wants:

* If I type Manhattan, NY, automatically show me a map w/ overlay of weather in Manhattan and surrounding areas. Maybe default to today, but also forward cursor to calendar.

* Or maybe automatically show bar chart of Manhattan for 1 week starting today. If they select a day automatically show +-3 days.

* or allow a date range to be selected or even just Month of December

* you need exposure, I've never heard of this before

edit: Oh ok, you've already done some of these, good.

Dotty will inevitably implement the same features with the same fundamental issues. This is not about some old stuff we all regret having in Scala, this is about new low-quality proposals. When they get rubberstamped, they will end up in both Scala and Dotty.
I too used to be a WordPress developer and then discovered Jekyll in the spring of 2015. I've been proselytizing static site generators ever since.
> I could switch to something newer and better, but why bother?

Since it's not maintained, personally I'd be tempted to try transitioning to something that is (with minimal change to content and structure/configuration required) to save dealing with it when you're just trying to publish new content and suddenly run up against some bug.
Please don't editorialize titles. It is inconsistent with HN guidelines. Without it, this might be a story worth upvoting. With the editorializing, it isn't.
I'd even say it's un-American. And I think it's the first time I used that term without sarcasm.
The packaging for every food has the manufacturing location printed on it, and almost every one I've seen is produced somewhere in Brazil, often in a nearby state. So, it's the opposite: the price for the food I buy has a greater chance of tracking the BRL than the USD. Fuel is also produced locally (by Petrobras).

And when the food prices do increase, consider that the food price is a big component of the inflation index, so both IPCA and later SELIC would rise to compensate.

The pain point is electronics. Almost all of it is imported, or has imported components. That one does tend to track the USD.
Yeah, I totally hear you on the pop up. I kinda hate them and think they suck UX wise, but email opt-ins are my bread and butter, and I only set it only trigger when people are about to click away.

Also, as the article (hopefully) argues, "Marketing" encompasses a whole lot more than lead-gen and customer acquisition (two things pop-ups can help with).
Germany (Frankfurt). I didn't provide the appliances, except for fridge and electric oven+stove (because I managed to get a discount on buying three sets of these appliances through a friend). Sorry, also the kitchens were furnished by me. The rentals were made long term.

What's interesting to me about this podcast was the suggestion that the solution to burnout is not less work or taking a break, but getting appreciation for the work you put in. Burnout seems to not be really about the work involved but the appreciation you get for doing that job and whether you feel your job is making a difference.
> No market need can be fixed with marketing?

Not really true. Have a look at "A diamond is forever". De Beers literally created a market with marketing.

On Firefox, code examples are sometimes 1-2 pixels longer than their viewport, so you can get a fairly pointless scrollbar. See, e.g., https://helpmanual.io/man3/printf/

One suggestion: how about guessing at hyperlinks. For example, there are a few underlined instances of `size_t' in the printf man page. If you ask for the size_t man page, you get the man page for stdint. Suppose I had a device on my desk that could automate this sort of drudgery for me...

(I did something like this for my patched version of Bwana: https://bitbucket.org/tom_seddon/bwana, original: https://www.bruji.com/bwana/ - works well, at least for the OS X man pages. My code only looks for man pages with the exact name, though, since it runs on demand. If you're doing a preprocess to generate all the pages ahead of time then you could perhaps afford to be more thorough.)
But then the three examples you give are of product launches, not acquisition and retention.

Apple is an example of a product driven company. A really well marketed CreativeRiver is not an iPod, a really well marketed Motorola Razr is not an iPhone and I wouldn't substitute any Galaxy Tab device for an iPad.

Also, since Tim Cook (who is no ones idea of a marketing genius) took charge, Apple's stock price has more than doubled.

This view is my case in point.

But given how the marketers at your company seem to be behaving, I understand your frustration.

But look at Steve Jobs: the ULTIMATE marketer if there ever was one. Or Mark Benioff, another brilliant marketer. Would you accuse them of skimming?
A single file named `index.php` that loads a bunch of text files and spits out what looks vaguely like a blog.

It's a total mess. Business logic and HTML snippets scattered everywhere. Layers of caching to make the whole thing load in less than 0.03 seconds on cheap shared hosting. I'm sure I do a much better job for paying clients, but somehow never get around to fixing the decade-old garbage that runs my own site.

At least it doesn't have any SQL injection vulnerabilities :p
I don't disagree with you on this, but I just want to clarify something: Katz ripped off ARC, that much is clear. But on the other hand, ZIP was a brand-new format that had some differences from ARC. Among those differences is that Katz made the format open, something SEA hadn't done with ARC. This helped ensure its broad uptake as a de facto standard that's still used to this day.

I don't think what Katz did in SEA saga is worth defending, but I think we have to delineate the two formats. As Phil Becker of eSoft says in the clip, the reason that Katz's software ultimately won out was that he was more adept as a businessman—and the open nature of the ZIP format was a good example of that.
Ok I concede the point. The literal definition of 'theft' is not the same as 'fraud'.

Btw, where's your evidence that 'everyone' on HN knows the difference? We are speaking literally here of course, where 'everyone' means literally every single individual who uses this site. Surely you're not just using hyperbole for 'dramatic effect', as you put it?

At any rate it's ok. I think I understood your non-literal meaning (i.e. the vast majority). But good on you for clearing up that whole 'theft' issue; people were getting very confused there...
Yeah, that's why I swear in Nepali /s

That's obviously bullshit, the actual reason is the omnipresence of the word fuck in the english language, and the omnipresence of the english language everywhere in the world. You just adopt it.

Been trying to do this for years, never really succeeded.

In 2016 i've relaunched https://www.interssl.com/en/ but when i'm being honest there are just too many support incidents. So i just can't call it passive income anymore - even if that was the initial idea.

The margin of sales without support basically just covers the cost for the orders that require heavy support. Remaining income is basically blown for advertising and maintaining the site.

My conclusions:

a) think twice about potential time killers - even if the core business model per se is passive, it might turn out to be time intensive ...

b) i'd rather not go into reselling something anymore but rather sell my own product, gives me more financial headroom.

my 2 cents.
> Websites can block me from viewing their site if I have an ad blocker installed.

They can try, but it's fundamentally impossible.
I'm pretty sure ABP has paid ads.
A few thousand over the course of a few months. The first three months were working out really good. But than it dropped to a fifth of the previous month and it went downhill from there. Anyway. It was still worth it. What took most of my time was setting up the store pages. (Which I couldn't look up by myself because I didn't own the device so I could not access the store at all. I didn't know the ratings on my apps either. Or the ranking in the store.)

to me Sharp came across as trying to score social points by being a "woman in tech" rather than being honesty interested in tech. Something i fear is going on a whole lot in recent years in the FOSS world.

I keep seeing already cash strapped projects go off the rails because someone decides that they need a gender oriented outreach program, complete with elaborate gatherings and whatsnot.

And when that crash and burns, their excuse for the cash bonfire is that the FOSS world is misogynistic...
Too bad you didn't use the word Machine learning in the title OP, bad marketing I suppose.
Agree, the stress might have negated possible positive outcomes. In my case, though, I'm sticking with it purely for the joy of it--15 min. of HIIT at the end of the work while you are hungry and tired followed by a cold shower/bath for another 15 min. is like being knocked out and woken up after a long sleep--makes you relaxed and focused for the rest of the evening.
Thank you. Any tips on exposure?
