> My company has done more than $10 million in hardware sales selling cryptocurrency miners for bitcoin.

Just because they cited it in the article -- I'm sure the people who manufactured greenhouses during Tulip Mania* also made a ton of cash (and probably accepted tulips in payment, dunno?) by riding the bubble.

*not that I think bitcoin is the same as tulips.
It’s really not. The only thing going for the web as an application platform is decent sandboxing and the fact that web browsers are installed on most computers by default - it’s not actually good, hence the proliferation of native apps on mobile. So perhaps it’s worth thinking about how to put a better system for distributing applications into people’s hands, rather than continuing as a society to waste effort on torturing web technologies into doing it.

It’s mainly that things happen in a couple of key presses instead of a few typed words.

For example to stage things you can just tap ‘s’ while running your cursor down a list of changed lines/files. To commit, it’s just ‘c c’, and you’re in an editor, in a markdown-like mode, with hard wrapping lines at a good default.

Amending previous commits is also very easy, and there are some quality of life abstractions involving branches which I’ve found very useful.

But, ultimately, it’s all the same stuff. If you have a good system with Gitx at the moment (and not much of an interest in Emacs), I wouldn’t worry about it.
If I had to guess, this site is super old. Using JQuery 1.7.1, Coffeescript, a bunch of script tags (no bundling, etc), calling CSS "CSS3" and including "HTML5" in the title, pre-iOS7-style icons, etc. Looks like somthing made in 2010ish.

When I heard that there was a need for an insecticide that could be used in the home it made me think the unthinkable...

What about DDT? If it works it is not terribly toxic to humans but is pretty good at killing insets in general. The devastating consequences to the environment would be avoided if used in the home. I believe it is still used for mosquito control in Africa.

I see in the Wikipedia article it is banned by international treaty except for disease control purposes due to the environmental dangers of it's agricultural use. But I guess it would be good to know if it works...

Text has a benefit over animations and videos — the reader sets their own pace, and they decide what part to look closely at.

Yes, they will skim over it and get a whole picture view of the information, zooming in on interesting parts, but I think that's part of what's expected to be possible. If we can't skim ahead to what we care about, we might even ignore this resume, or this website, or this ad, or whatever the item in question happens to be, and look for the next one.
Anna: A Crazy Fast, Super-Scalable, Flexibly Consistent KVS
The US has a great many resources; natural, produced and human capital. There are absolutely organised groups (some are nation states, some less powerful) that would come over and take those resources away if there was an opportunity.

In theory, soldiers of the US army will going to stop that thievery by any means up to and including giving away their lives for their country. This is a critically important role, and as a society you can't really afford to send mixed messages about how important soldiers are. This is doubly true because of the potential risks they face, they need to feel appreciated. They are filling a valuable role.

What the leadership does with those soldiers in times of relative peace, however, is highly questionable and open to the usual rough and tumble of political debate.

As someone who is chronically sleep deprived this hits me hard. I had a few days of "full wakefulness" last year, where I had a good nights sleep for a few days in a row and my head was just clear. It felt so amazing to be "all here" and notice that your brain is firing all cylinders when thinking about problems.

It's not clear that all UV is a complete carcinogen. Narrowband UVB is used for the treatment of psoriasis. It certainly causes a change in your natural skin colour but studies have not found that it elevates the risk of skin cancer e.g.:

Tiny Player looks really cool. I really enjoy seeing genuine native macOS software. I feel like it’s becoming a lost art. Is the source code available anywhere?
In a normal program, given an exploit, it's easy to understand the idea of attack and specific target of attack. In CNN case, because no one really understands how things work (see https://www.technologyreview.com/s/604087/the-dark-secret-at...), how can they understand why things don't work? The whole contraption is a black box.
Largely dependent on what you mean by "business man", but going from dev to sales can be as easy as transitioning to a sales engineering / solutions architect role and getting exposure to closing deals that way. The next leap you'd make is figuring out how to get into a closing role; which will take a little patience in order to find a good fit (namely: a company willing to put someone with engineering experience in a closing role -- they're out there!).

If you mean other parts of the business (operations, finance, BD, etc), the pattern is probably similar -- find a technical role that's in that org and start there, with the intention of moving into the business side more and more.

If you mean "I'm a software developer and want to understand the business side of running a company better", there is a ton of reading you can do to learn how businesses work. Some books that were helpful to me:

* The 4 Steps to Epiphany by Steve Blank
* How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
* The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman
* The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber
* Venture Deals by Brad Feld

Ultimately business skills are gained the same way you'd learn software skills -- self-study combined with exposure to the problems you're interested in solving.
Which basis is used to partition the wavefunction?

If you are going to tell me that it is according to the eigenvalues of the observable operator it's not that different from saying that there is a collapse on one of the eigenvalues of the measurement.

And the question remains for your "isolated particles in a box doing multiverse". How is the partition of the wavefunction done if there is no preferred basis?

Edit: Maybe in your interpretation the only "physical" thing is the universe described by its wave function and those infinite multiverses are just mathematical "projections" of that wavefunction. But then how can a mathematical operation without any physical substrate explain anything about the physical world?
you can build MVP, MVVM, MVI, or whatever other arch on top of the Android framework, you don't need to bring react to do that.
Another language fix I would use: "I truly believe" -> "I believe" or "I am convinced".

Avoid weasel words like "truly" and let the value words like "believe" stand alone, or pick a stronger value word if needed ("convinced").
googling myelin and vitamin D does bring a bunch of info in that direction, for example :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27764518

"In the central nervous system (CNS) the main proteins of myelin are proteolipid protein (PLP), myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and CNPase.

[...]

The mice were treated by cuprizone for five weeks in order to induce demyelination.

[...]

a significant increase in the MOG and CNPase expression was seen in vitamin D injected group as compared to SHAM and control groups. It is concluded that vitamin D plays a role in the process of remyelination by increasing MOG and CNPase expression in the cortex."
Somewhat similarly the various "chairs" generated by 7447 for 0xA-0xE are simply the outputs that lead to simplest random logic that implements the defined function.

But it doesn't imply resources are more spread out. The only thing a smaller planet means is that your civilisation will more quickly be able to circumnavigate it, but that doesn't seem relevant at all.
It is hard. I still struggle with this myself. The first thing you have to do is stop writing code. You have to get comfortable letting someone else handle that side of it.

You have to learn to focus more on sales, marketing, and growing the company... not little details about the code.
The standard dictates performance characteristics that imply the use of buckets, so there is more pointer hopping. A hash map that uses flat memory will end up being better. I would guess robin hood hashing + flat memory would be one of the most competitive techniques.
These are really good for finding inspiration!

I'll add my own, since I've spent the last year building a little SaaS product (Dependabot): in the early days, nothing beats one-on-one sales. It's not glamorous, but early on you learn so much more from each attempted sale than each time you try a marketing strategy. If you buy facebook ads, blog, etc., then it's hard to tell why customers are engaging with you or not. Don't get me wrong, it's possible, but the feedback you get is so much stronger when it's a sale and you can ask the other person straight up.

I did the above (after failing at every other marketing strategy) with Dependabot when we were literally giving it away and it made a huge difference to the product and our user numbers.

No, that was actually me. I think I called it Vumpir Slay. It was a 3D wumpus with something like a 20x20x20 cube and a map editor. I might still have it somewhere.

Ask HN: Quitting in a month, what to do next?
hey folks, I'm going to quit my current job end of this month and I'm not sure what to do next?

I have a couple of options:

1.Full-time Open Source Developer - I've been following projects like Moby (Docker), Kubernetes & CNCF friends, Redox, Blender for a while now and am familiar with their codebase but haven't had the chance to contribute. I am not sure how this'll pay me though.

2. Join one of the big software companies. - I have a few offers at hand but am not sure if I'd enjoy any of those. The pay is really good but the work probably isn't going to be satisfactory. I cannot discuss the offers here because of NDAs.

3. Wild Projects - Twitch streaming my programming experiences, tech podcasts, etc. I'm again not sure how this is going to turn out. I think this'll go well with Developer Advocate / Tech Evangelist roles and I've been wanting to do this for a while but I'm not sure how to start and if they pay as much as a pure software engineering role.

Hope the HN community will help me out.
This is exactly one of the things I was curious to know about Flutter vs alternatives. Having already been burned by Dart 1 and its promise of web components, I'm more cautious for a cure-all.

If the development workflow is good, trying it on a smaller Android project seems feasible. What I find attractive there is that you can sidestep the legacy Android APIs which was created for much more constrained hardware than we run today. Might even be worth just doing that and keeping iOS development the same. If iOS 12 widgets all look different, that would age Flutter apps.
It's quite a different thing. Sensory information like the limits of your body, vision and sound input.

I believe the woman above described that she does not feel the limits of her body and needs constant jerking and slamming of the body parts on the walls to find comfort.
They can't because their competitors don't.

That's one possible factor, but not the only one. Otherwise any business with no direct competition could increase its prices arbitrarily, and clearly that's nonsensical.
You don't really mention your usecase and that is crucial.

There is a niche where RN chines but that does not mean it is a great solution for any app.
I Googled "Ivan Castellanos" because I wanted to find your GitHub/LinkedIn/whatever as it's virtually impossible to find any of these on this page (unless you want to refresh and wait for another minute, and I didn't).

If ideas are infectious then you'll be on it just for commenting, right? ;)
you're not getting a stake. you're getting tokens that can be used in the new system. the idea goes that if the system succeeds, the tokens will be worth something, at which point you sell for a profit. straight up selling stake in the business is a no-no because it would run afowl of the SEC
> you'd think people might get the hint that things have changed

Or not. The amount of hype and investment isn't a reliable measure of future success. We've been here before. The moment when mass adoption is just around the corner.

Some things are conceptually exciting, but disappointing in practice.

When they say arguing on the internet is futile, you are a poster child for it. Just look at your arguments - feels like I am debating with a 5 yr old.

I won't even begin to counter your points. You don't even understand the basics of ad targeting or else you would understand how the categories which advertisers choose to target get translated into relevant interests on the user side.
I recently (in the last 3 weeks) developed an allergy to heavily fragranced laundry detergent. It's the first persistent allergic reaction I've really ever had. We usually use a very mild unscented detergent but my mother in law was staying with us for a little while and uses Tide and she washed some of my clothes. I generally have sensitive skin and so it was quite a shock. I was bruising all over my body just from light but compulsory scratching. It seems to have passed but it's given me a new found appreciation for using mild chemicals for cleaning, etc...
I think you can run python inline in vim. But I obviously vim doesn't really have something as full-featured as Org mode. I mean, there's vimwiki - and you could probably get a majority of the rest of the features through messing around with plugins. But at that point, you may as well just switch to spacemacs.

They like heat, which incandescent lights produce more of. I'm sure the IR would work to some extent but it seems like you're overcomplicating this!
I made an educated guess. "Never" might happen just as well as 1 year, but it's unlikely considering other similar companies (we can't measure business skills of the operator); also we're talking about how it'd be if the business is a success. 1 year is more likely than 1 month; 50 years is extremely improbable (this business will probably either succeed or fail within just a few years, again, considering other similar companies).
Wow. That's craziness.

Having package maintainers touch any code, even to backport security fixes, is far from ideal.

In 2006, a big security flaw was introduced into Debian's OpenSSL by the maintainer, because he changed code that he did not fully understand. The flaw wasn't discovered until 2008:

> But each side also contains only half as much money...

I don't think this is correct, if it were split in half each side would start at the same point with the exact same amount of money. Unless you were talking about the amount of money each half controlled maybe?

But I thought the point of sharding was to enable double-spending which would only really concern itself with the amounts the attacker(s) controlled. Well, I also recall reading about using sharding to destroy faith in the network as a whole but that doesn't seem to apply here.
So "Literate DevOps" is writing comments in your shell scripts and running the commands line by line?

I agree it's a good idea. I do similar things when writing PowerShell scripts (can run them line by line using PowerShell ISE).

EDIT: If you're going to downvote me, it'd be better to explain why.
HN:

> Ask HN: How did you transition yourself from Software Developer to Business man?

> from Software Developer to Business man?

> man?

Also HN: Why do women feel excluded from IT?
In all honesty I find it borderline impossible to say things in such a way that I will not be misunderstood on HN, at least if I plan to get anything else done during the rest of my day. A lot of people here go out of their way to misinterpret and/or take the most extreme interpretation of every comment, or to just change the discussion topic to something else while ignoring the actual comment.

Case in point for all of these was here: I was trying to replying to was "there is no downside to X but Y", and I replied with "what about Z?". A logical response could have ranged anywhere from "Yes, Z is also a downside that is worth mentioning" to "I'm not sure, because $reasons", to "No, Z is not really a downside because it would cause problem W". But instead people just went out of their ways to just ignore the actual point and provide replies ranging from "if you don't like it don't use it" (this was you, defending ham radio, as if me pointing out 1 downside is an attack on the entire concept) to "feature, !bug" (as if I somehow thought Z was an accident, or as if something being intentional automatically implies it must be an upside) to "that's how V behaves too" (which is wrong because, no, V doesn't force Z to happen, and even when Z does happen, it's far harder to exploit... and which, even if correct, would also be irrelevant to the point in the first place).

It's not that I can't, it's just that it honestly sucks all energy out of me (and the time out of my day) to try to preempt all these kinds of misinterpretations or topic changes from my comment. Not just that, but even when I do find the time and energy to do this, I just find that others come along who just cherry-pick the one sentence they disagree with and ignore all the rest of the comment explaining the nuances behind that one sentence. When I'm writing an article or a paper where the stakes are higher, I do find it worthwhile to try to do that (and it's still not easy). But over here, I just kind of always have this glimmer of hope that people will not go out of their way to start an uphill battle for me when non ever existed in the first place.
I had a college degree in business, but as a contractor I started saying yes to more work than I could handle myself which forced me to hire contractors.

As others mentioned, you have to stop writing as much code and start QAing or PMing more which takes practice.

But the short answer is, don't turn down work and be prepared to work a ton while you're still part time coding and part time managing.
Not to be a jerk, but shouldn't you know what you're going to do if you're leaving on your own terms?

It seems like you're independently wealthy, so do whatever you want to - that's what I'd do. If you want to hack around on some OSS while making pottery and raising llamas, go for it. I think #3 might be the least "productive" but hey go for it if you want.
It is not an attack. I just don't want to spend my educating folks who aren't willing to help themselves. Just read their whitepaper or any of the 100s of youtube videos on tezos and you will discover that it is a full fledged Ethereum competitor.
I don't understand why firefox doesn't use the underlying OS keyring like Chromium does. I can sort of understand why it currently doesn't (legacy code)... but why the lockbox extension instead of proper OS support? The more places your password is stored the greater the chance of one of them leaking them.
A neat CSS animation demo, but a poor resume.

It takes an experienced hiring manager 5 seconds to make a judgment about whether to invest more time in reading a resume. I might give it a temporary reprieve because of the novelty, but once it became clear it was full of empty claims instead of demonstrated experience (in anything other than CSS animation) I would move on.
I can’t speak to why React Native was recommended to you specifically, but here are some reasons I think speak for React Native and which I’ve also heard from other people (for example those who I’ve interviewed on my site http://madewithreactnative.com)

* Web devs can hit the ground running, more or less without having to learn a new language.

* One code base for both Android and iOS without having to write any native code (Theoretically. For some things, you still can’t get around native code), which leads to

* Shorter development times for apps for both platforms.

* For apps, which are basically just presentation layers for data fetched from server, performance is fine.

* Huge community with a lot of packages and libraries, especially because you can also use many node packages without any problems.
Yes, of course it is. Whether it's the Tor Project's fault or the user's fault is a contentious issue.

You need to re-read what I actually wrote, and stop imposing your own predisposed ideas onto other people's commentary.

One person asked about advantages of systemd. I listed one, and acknowledged systemd has issues.

I didn't compare it to any specific init system. I didn't even claim that systemd is overall better or worse.

I literally said:
