In one of those "could have been" moments, back in c.1994 I wrote a simple web browser which used SafeTcl (a sandboxed Tcl) to render. I got a few things wrong in hindsight - there was no static markup at all, the whole page was rendered by Tcl although there was a simple Tcl function to render blocks of text and TeX-like markup in Tcl strings.

Tcl is more pleasant than Javascript, but still has some horrible parts like poor support for structs, nothing really equivalent to a pointer, clumsy escaping, and (at the time) no support for dynamically linked extensions.

Required visits, or even those that imply a visit is required, should compensate you for your travel. This should be done overtly through per diem and reimbursement. A company could try and tell you something like "we pay you more because you'll cover these costs" but that hurts you in regards to taxes.

We are a remote-first company.

Employees all converge on our home office for a company retreat once or twice each year. The company pays for reasonable transportation, lodging, and meal expenses e.g. you can't take first class on Christmas and expect to be reimbursed 100%.

Remote employees can also visit home base semi-regularly, e.g. quarterly, and the company will pay for transportation and lodging (I don't think we pay for meals on optional travel).

Any employee can also attend events and the company will foot the bill as long as it benefits the company or provides professional development e.g. Nodevember, Elixir Conf, and this includes speaking or simply attending.

The last low-level device I shipped code on, we had 2K of program space and about 1K of RAM. Started writing in vanilla C, crunching pieces into hand-written assembly and rewriting fat code when space got tight. 6 bytes free in the final code. I might be going out on a limb when I claim that Rust won't touch this kind of system . . . but probably not.

The system before that was largely just a USB driver, an event loop and some interrupt handlers, supporting a large amount of ported-over and mostly already existing stuff in C that did the interesting and product-defining algorithmic heavy lifting. I guess that we could have written the infrastructure in Rust, but it's hard to see the win in using two languages (the algorithmic stuff was not going to get a rewrite).

Rust isn't great for other reasons, too. Finding good embedded systems programmers is hard enough; require something bleeding edge like Rust and the population of candidates plummets to "well, we might be able to find and hire one person this year" territory.

https://hblok.net/blog/storage/ says it would have been about $100,000. I don't know if those are in constant dollars, but I suspect they are 1975 dollars.

I'm going to ignore #3. They really don't matter and are crap at best.

The problem with #1 is that they refuse to acknowledge the newer tools of analysis and understanding. They cling to older "mature" tools and methods, with nary a care of if/how the newer ones work. They won't be the fastest or novelist, but one ting can be said: it will work, and it will work well.

The problem with #2 is "Oh shiny OH SHIT". They go down the path of the next new thing, with little to no understanding that the old fogeys already did that and it didn't work then. But their big advantage is, it might just work now and enable a whole new area.

And it's really hard being in both #1 and #2.

I don't know about this tool but org mode is as open as it can be and it's been here since years, text based. The time investment is minimal if you just want to use it, it's just all the features around that can take time.

Ask HN: We are betting our MVP stack on OSS parse server. What can go wrong?
Hey there, so we are a techie/hacky CEO and a developper CTO building a SaaS on demand platform.

We built and sold a pilot to a big corp of our previous working MVP based on on nodeJS + mongoDB, built entilely from scratch. Too hard to maintain technically (the previous "purist i will code everything" + "less than part time available" lead dev of that node backend is not active anymore and did not approve of parse stack migration althought understandood the choice) and lacking obvious features like sessions/user management, we decided to stand on the shoulders of giants (parse server open source project).

So far so good, dev is easy (we use freelancers and CTO do control check).

What should i be prepared for ?
To clarify, a mistake is an error which causes the tests to be invalidated. Theranos had to throw out all Edison test results for 2014 and 2015. Clinical decisions were made as a result of these tests and it is not unreasonable to believe that patients may have been harmed as a result of faulty information. This would be the equivalent of a plane crash for an airliner.

False positives and false negatives will occur with all testing and there are protocols in place to detect false readings. While most tests are accurate, an inaccurate result is not considered a mistake since the tests themselves are not perfect. (Given that you followed proper procedure)
I really appreciate the approach that BigchainDB and Ocean Protocol take in addressing the extremely serious challenges around removing illegal content from a decentralized database. I don't remember exactly where I read/heard the details, but there is a talk Trent McConaghy gave where he describes the process of forking around a node where illegal content has been discovered and flagged via a takedown notice. I'll see if I can dig up the specific reference. The important takeaway for me, as I work on integrating decentralized and distributed database architecture into a platform for cancer drug discovery and the enrichment of user data through the incentive mechanisms within the decentralized databases that also have cryptographic tokens and utilize cryptographic primatives a la curation markets, is that hybrid solutions are starting to show promise in combining traditional centralized databases and decentralized ones that have novel token economics built it. I think BigchainDB and Ocean Protocol do a great job with this, as does OpenMined, and I'm interested to see where Cardstack goes with their approach. For me, it's not a binary set of options, rather about finding projects that are interoperable, and also take seriously their responsibilities to maintain compliance with the ever changing legal landscape surrounding data and rights management.

I've read a lot about LN routing in the last year, and I still don't get what the plan is. Since it's the responsibility of each client to route its payment, you now put yourself in a situation where each client must know the state of the network - maybe not the whole network, but enough to get to the destination. We didn't even get to the routing, and already this is a huge problem. That O(n^2), and will not scale. How do you expect everyone to know the state of millions of channels, where the state changes thousands of times per second.

Making things horribly verbose (and thus prone to typos, introducing extra complexity in implementation, etc.) is a poor excuse for actually learning how something works so you can use it effectively and efficiently. The most common cases of strftime() are highly mnemonic, so much that seeing "%G %m %d" instead of the more common and correct "%Y %m %d" should make you wonder if it was really intended.

but also, let's reduce gotchas in the design

%Y being the correct format to use most of the time is not a "gotcha". If the roles of %G and %Y were reversed I would agree.
It would make a killing.
disclaimer: i am only in my mid-twenties, so perhaps i lack sufficient perspective on this topic. i can only compare the landscape today against my childhood friendships.

i do remember having fewer, closer friends when i was younger. at the same time, i don't feel that we had much in common other than being the same age, in the same place, and being part of the "outgroup". i valued these relationships very much (and still do), but they represented the exhaustion of the local pool of viable friends. we spent so much time together and developed strong bonds mainly because there was no clear way to access a more global pool to select from.

today i have many acquaintances with whom i routinely share deep conversations over very specific interests (even irl!), and it is relatively easy to find more of these if i desire. while my social life is much more intellectually rich, it is definitely harder to develop a trusted confidant; conversations just never seem to naturally flow into that territory.

to me, it seems like the older style of friendship and the modern friendship occupy different places on roughly the same pareto frontier. you can certainly prefer one or the other, but i don't feel that either is intrinsically better.

"If all she had to do was say this was a beta or whatever and all of us would be using it, would be loving it."

This argument doesn't make any sense. It wasn't a beta, nor an alpha, nor anything.

It was just a marketing gag without any substance or technology. As part of an alpha or beta, you need an actual pathway to a full release.

There was literally nothing. If this were released as a beta after having raised lots of money, people would call this a scam outright, because it didn't do anything new or more efficient.

To use this solution with a version of sed that does not accept newlines in patterns (i.e. to make it portable), one has to put the commands in a sed commands file and run it with sed -f.

How to make the one-liner portable without using a sed commands file?

Maybe something like:

sed 's/baz/elephant/;/^ \{2\}- elephant/{h;G;};/^ \{4\}- elephant/{h;G;};s/elephant/baz/' foo|sed -a wfoo

1. s/baz/elephant/
2. duplicate that line if two or four space indent
3. s/elephant/baz/
4. save

N.B. no temp file used to save changes

cf. jvns.ca blog:

1. search for baz
2. copy that line and paste it
3. s/baz/elephant/
4. save and quit

N.B. temp file in $TMPDIR used to save changes

I actually like Google. Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple are way worse.
I got into diving a couple of years ago, and managed to combine the two passions - there's an Open Source diving computer[1], and it's fascinating to read through the source[2].

I was surprised on looking into it more that we're really just winging it algorithmically + safety margins, based on research done in the 60s. The empirical research basically consisted of the Navy et al. throwing people in at depth, and seeing what got them "bent".

Everybody's physiology is different though, and there are a large number of factors over-and-above that which affect whether you'll suffer Decompress Sickness (DCS).

Whilst there have been some iterations on Bühlmann[3] such as VPM-B[4] (which is based on bubble diameter vs. tissue compartment loading), the field is still lacking IMHO.

Not really through any fault of their own, it's just very difficult/expensive to peer into the body whilst they're down there to see what's going on, and it seems we'd need a large sample size due to individual physiology playing a part. Still, the algos seem to work... most of the time. Just don't drink too much alcohol, sleep well, hydrate. And do your stops! :)

Interestingly, saturation divers / Navy generally don't use a computer as the divemaster singularly plans the dives for the group with massive safety margins. As they're already saturated, they're generally not doing stops "outside" in the wet anyway. If they do have a computer, it will even have the tables/algos removed from it.
