Just read Issue #35 and subscribed - congrats on getting this off the ground. I have some feedback as I run a similar newsletter for long form books and articles over at https://theconsider.com. The following has come from subscribers and been helpful to me:

- The paragraph to paragraph format can be a little jarring in teams of reading through. When you move from OpenAI to QT in #35, for instance, there's no clear transition. In my newsletter, I'll use bold titles to break up recommendations

- Add a time estimation on how long it will take to complete the article / blog post / whatever. When something can be done in < 15 minutes, people generally read on the spot. If longer, people will make time for it if they're interested. Either way, it's helpful to the reader to just let them know how big a time investment something is

- Add a place for people to e-mail you their favorite coding articles, papers, etc. Some of my most clicked recommendations have come from subscribers

Awesome job again. I'm excited to get this on the daily.
Sad. It “should carry over”. What a joke. You don’t have to guess. You can test it.
The most important part is that it was a test specifically for Courier New. That cannot be extrapolated to all other fonts. The author's claim that the benefits "should" carry over was not actually tested, and should have been.
A friend told me about the Snoo when we had our first and it was AMAZING. Put him right to sleep, and helped keep him asleep. My wife was able to get a full nights sleep for the first 6 months because of it.
Google Maps used to have a mode where they only announce important turns, or if you miss one. But I can't find it in the app anymore.
Haven't used either, but people typically say that Qt's API is cleaner, that it's better suited for cross-platform applications (for example it has support for Android) and that it's more flexible (for example LXDE is being rewritten as LXQt, since the devs found GTK3 too heavyweight and too GNOME-centric).
So was Optane at first and so were SSDs in general.

Now when I hear Google is going to "revamp" something I'm expecting high odds that I will be frustrated and angry with it.
> But then, What stops SaaS providers from Hosting in their own environment?

You mean why SaaS providers are reluctant to provide their stack on-premise?

If your main tech is providing a web daemon that "just works" it is simpler (cheaper) to provide (install, update, configure) it on your (the SaaS-company's) infrastructure, as otherwise you have to support integrating your SaaS into the security domain of your customer which is very non-trivial (that's why you often see Team-Support and certain variations of authorization and authentication in the higher-priced plans).

I understand that many customers would like that but I also understand that it is harder (more expensive) to support for SaaS companies. I wonder how long GitLab will support their dual-approach using .com and the self-hosted, on-premise variant.

The issue is that most doctors aren't good observers or critical thinkers, they're selected for memorization skills and not critical thinking. Of course people working on the field specifically of autism will have more experience and be able to spot the obvious cases, however I regularly come across people who have hyper- or hypo-sensitivities which are because of developmental blocks/disorder as well - and people won't even realize how much of an impact this is actually having on their whole system.

There potentially are other causes to these hyper- and hypo- sensitivities that I observe, though there are a few questions can that be asked to increase the odds that it's correct, and then there are diagnostics that can confirm.

How much an individual can be helped, if their developmental block can be unblocked, likely depends on when and how the block/disorder began - and that's where my interest lies.

Rye starter or white flour starter?

My favorite rye sourdough is this one from Breadtopia: it goes kind of crazy on flavorings (caraway, anise, fennel, molasses, orange zest) but the results are spectacular. Plus there is a video to take you through it step by step - great for people new to sourdoughs or ryes. Plus plus there is an instant yeast version if you don't have a starter.

I wonder how many direct reports these managers have. Does anyone have insight? I believe 1on1 is good from my experience in companies where there is a lot of change and a lot going on the #1 feedback I get is people want more information, more 1on1, more team time. With roughly 40 direct reports 1on1 is nearly impossible with the other demands.
One of the better techniques I’ve picked up (pretty sure I got it from https://www.amazon.com/Flour-Water-Salt-Yeast-Fundamentals/d...) replaces the kneeding steps with folds during the first 2-3 hours of bulk fermentation. Basically after mixing in starter transfer to large fermentation vessel, reach under the dough from 4 corners one at a time, grab and pull over the top of the dough to opposite corner. Wait an hour and repeat, wait 2 hours and repeat, then let fermentation do it’s thing.

This saves a lot of effort, mess, and prevents dough from becoming overworked. Effort that can later be expended in dough shaping steps ;-).

having a baby, especially one younger than 6-8 months, is an extraordinarily exhausting time of a parents life. I don't think that the fatigue in that period is a good predictor for couples to get another child. The memories fade as you see the baby grow, you'll have new things to worry about, too, and then each parent has their own tolerance levels for that kind of stress. So in the end, I don't think there is a selection pressure. Furthermore, with families I know, there isn't much of a coincidence between crybabies and easy babies among siblings. Maybe there is on paper, but it probably isn't the strongest effect. Also, there I see families who became more kids after a troublesome first one.

I'd like to add: Genetics isn't as easy as we software people think.

You forget the last source of bias : the bias could be on a lower level. For instance, there could be some sort of bias, hidden to the algorithm, that makes certain decisions succeed and others fail in a biased way, but for instance if we're talking companies, state-backed companies succeed, foreign companies suddenly fail.

There could be a real world bias.
> unless you assume its existence and availability via streams in the first place

That's given by a conforming, hosted implementation of ISO C (the usual kind). You seem to have been writing about freestanding implementations. We are then severely restricted; there might not be a malloc.

C99 4. Conformance ¶6: "The two forms of conforming implementation are hosted and freestanding. A conforming hosted implementation shall accept any strictly conforming program. A conforming freestanding implementation shall accept any strictly conforming program that does not use complex types and in which the use of the features specified in the library clause (clause 7) is confined to the contents of the standard headers <float.h>, <iso646.h>, <limits.h>, <stdarg.h>, <stdbool.h>, <stddef.h>, and <stdint.h>."

If we are talking hosted, then <stdio.h> streams have to be present as a required feature.

> you can specify the semantics of an unbounded storage system via built-in mechanisms and data structures of these languages.

Which language states that programs must be successfully processed by an implementation, regardless of the resources that they require? The next cons call in your Lisp image could fail. That's no different from a stream-related resource problem.

The thought experiment behind "can this programming language express Turing computation" requires us to imagine, for all languages, that the resource constraints don't exist. The question is whether there are some limitations in the language semantics which cannot be thus hand-waved away. Freestanding C (without streams) has those limitations in the abstract semantics; hosted C doesn't. The abstract semantics of streams is available, and if we imagine that to be free of platform-related resource limitation, then we are in the same league as the other languages that we have imagined to be free of platform-related resource limitations.

“because there is no negative impact on false positive, only some wasted effort by police.”

This is incorrect. You don’t need to be “arrested” to be detained on a false positive hit, and being detained can ruin lives, missed work, missed family obligations, social stigma of having been a suspect. Also these systems do not have a way to correct false positives, so it’s likely to reoccur to the same individual multiple times which will have a real psychological impact. These systems have also shown to have higher false positive rate when looking at minority’s this creates a risk of further creating a cognitive bias among police.

Don’t forget being detained as a suspect could result in you being added to a list you can’t remove yourself from.

So from what I understand, the US doesn't have a swaddling tradition? I thought that was common knowledge.
I am living in Serbia and, although you are right about Mehtmet-Pasha Sokolovic (Sokollu), it was certainly not the norm. It is difficult to judge different times from the modern perspective, but the actual term that is used for the period of Serbian history from the 14th to 19th century is "Turkish enslavement". Whether it is worse to live as a Christian "raya" under Ottomans or a serf under Christian kings is maybe open to discussion, but no one here consider that time as a glorious time of the opportunity for Serbian/Christian culture here. Quite the opposite, it stagnated the whole Balkan region from one of the centers of European culture to the backwaters.

PS. There is a book by the Nobel laureate Ivo Andric about exactly the times of Sokollu, that HN readers might find interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bridge_on_the_Drina

> If an EU resident visitor lies, they may well still be protected by GDPR (and the EU is large enough for enforcement to matter even if a site doesn't have an EU presence).

What's your basis for this statement? If it's true, then literally everyone in the world is covered by the GDPR, because they might be from the EU and lying. That seems (a) absurd--you think an American court is going to enforce a judgment against an American company that accidentally violated the GDPR because an EU resident lied to it?--and (b) inconsistent with the statements of Facebook et al. that they will comply with the GDPR only for those subject to it.
We still very much view the universe as mechanical. Gravity, for instance, is still seen as the bending of spacetime. The typical analogy being a bowling ball on a trampoline. The weighty bowling ball bends the fabric of spacetime causing 'attraction' to anything nearby.

Quantum mechanics is enough of flux that I certainly would not say it itself is justification for such grand claims.
They still are, IMO.

It’s a matter of who gets paid first. To oversimplify...

Let’s say I have a company with 100M in debt. If the company is sold for 150M. The first 100M goes to pay debt. The other 50M goes to the owners. If it’s sold for 300M, then 200M goes to equity. They get all the upside. On the flip side if the company sells for less than 100M, the all the money goes to the debt holder.

What’s going on is debt holders trade upside for downside protection. Equity holders give up downside protection to get equity.

Life is a little more complicated (some equity holders have more protection than others, and some equity holders may be debt holders) but usually it’s just trading off upside for downside or vice versa.

I’m not sure. I do suspect that a naive calculation of COGS gives essentially arbitrary results. Consider a hypothetical phone assembled in the USA. Maybe COGS is quite low. Then the maker shifts profits to Ireland by selling its IP to an Irish subsidiary and licensing it back at ruinous rates. Did COGS go up?

For factory productivity numbers, I assume that labor is not subtracted from value. If one person at $50/hr builds $51/hr of widgets completely from scratch, their productivity is $51/hr, not $1/hr.

I'm posting this because my comment on another post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17004898) got some traction. Thought I'd post it as a Show HN.

Discoverdev is my pet project where I curate articles (relevant to programmers/software engineers) on a daily basis. 8-10 articles everyday. I usually skip beginner posts and just pick in-depth/ engineering heavy articles. The article stream is available via RSS. There is also a weekly newsletter where I round up the most interesting articles and rabbit holes I fall into.

Hope you like it, I've been running it for about an year and have curated over 1200+ links. Feedback welcome.

This response, describing autism as being merely different, is exactly why the single diagnostic label was a mistake, and should be immediately reversed. I know an autistic person whose ability to use language is so impaired that only his parents and siblings can communicate in any meaningful way with him. Effective use of language is a signature feature of being human, and to dismiss an inability to do so as being merely 'different' is a cruel dismissal of some very serious problems that have come to define the life of this family - most of all, of course, for the victim himself (and yes, he is a victim of circumstance.)

It's been a mixed bag. I think there is a toxicity in the moderatorship and a predisposition for downvotes - which is frustrating. There are also recurring cirlce-jerks which distorts things as well. Nor has the HN platform improved in the years I've used it.

But sometimes there will be a worthwhile link, or a salient comment, perhaps once a week; and that's about ratio i've found when using HN over the years. And those things are the things I remember.

If you like something, comment on it - it means more than a vote, and helps you bookmark it if you ever want to track back to it.

My child sleeps through the night now, but those memories come back crystal clear the times when my kid wakes up in the middle up the night sick or with a fever.

I have definitely heard about the sibling thing as well from families I know, but in the opposite direction. First kid is very chill and easy going, parents think they are perfect parents. Second kid is fussy and more difficult and parents realize they weren’t necessarily natural experts at parenting.
When I learned to type, I learned the two space convention. Some years ago, while working together on a paper draft a friend of mine hooted and laughed at my antediluvian practice. When he was done, I explained that the paper was destined for LaTeX, and that any amount of space would be collapsed into Knuth Standard Spacing.

The joke was on my friend in the end, as I convinced him to learn LaTeX, which is the most useful cruelty one can inflict on someone else.

Yes, a lot of people think SaaS = Deployed on Cloud.

But a significant part of sustainable deployment is the Service part, in Software as a Service

I understand, it is much harder for many SaaS companies to provide that 1:1 attention. Specially when the company would like to focus on the Product.

But there are ways to offsetting it, such as System Integrator, Localized Partners etc.

Large enterprise companies have been traditionally doing the same thing, Seibel for example grew like that. SAP, Oracle, is thriving on it.

But my question was also from the companies purchasing the service?

But what typesetting system has a way of marking up sentence endings? Because you can rely on the period being that as e.g. this sentence has one in the middle of the sentence.
>“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
Ironically, WaPo's own introduction explains why the one-space convention only arose in a variable-width context. For the study to not test their findings with a variable-width font, seems pretty silly.

"Letters of uniform width looked cramped without extra space after the period. Typists learned not to do it.

But then, at the end of the 20th century, the typewriter gave way to the word processor, and the computer, and modern variable-width fonts. And the world divided.

Some insisted on keeping the two-space rule. They couldn't get used to seeing just one space after a period. It simply looked wrong.

Some said this was blasphemy. The designers of modern fonts had built the perfect amount of spacing, they said. Anything more than a single space between sentences was too much."
