I rewrote a ~30k line React app in Mithril and since then it's been my go-to view library. It's not mentioned here often, which is surprising given how nice it is to work with. The biggest improvements for my workflow have been closure components and the css selector syntax.

Closure components let you use closures to hold state, which ends up being a very elegant pattern. In react:

class Square extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
value: null,
};
}
render() {
return (
<button
className="square"
onClick={() => this.setState({value: 'X'})}
>
{this.state.value}
</button>
);
}
}

Is roughly equivalent to the following mithril code:

function Square() {
const state = { value: null };
return {
view() {
return (
m('button.square', {
onclick() { state.value = 'X'; }
}, state.value);
);
}
}
}

Notice that the closure gives us access to the state without needing to know what `this` refers to. You can also see the selector syntax in the mithril hyperscript above (`'button.square'`). That becomes especially nice if you're using an approach like tachyons for css, where simple classes are layered to create a style. I use this all the time for layout, which in react I would have created a bunch of stateless components for. Also worth noting: we happen to be directly mutating state in this example, but since mithril isn't opinionated about that you could really store and update your state however you please. Also, for quick projects that don't justify all the cruft that you get with `create-react-app`, it's nice to be able to just use a framework with no build steps whatsoever.
Why does Google exist if there is practically unbounded information flow? Oh right, because there is 1) so much information that we can't process it all and 2) sometimes information just doesn't spread. If I host a website but nobody links to it, does the information on my website ever get spread?

> If you have a service to file taxes for free, and it really is good, shouldn't it spread by mere word-of-mouth?

In an ideal world, yes. But my point was that a service for filing CA state taxes for free already exists, but most people still don't know about it because it's never advertised.
I made it 3/4 of the way through the video, then clicked around the website in frustration looking for the download button.

This is neat, but I think you should tweak how the font colour is determined - it's incredibly hard to read sometimes when you have a hex like #ff6600 and the text is essentially pink.

Joblib: Running Python Functions as Pipeline Jobs
A bloke I was talking to had an interesting theory as to why it was labeled the F-117, despite being a ground attack aircraft rather than a fighter, and the number being out of sequence (everyone was expecting an F-19.

Around the same time as the F-117 aircraft was being developed, Pratt & Whitney PW2000 engine was being developed, which went on to be used in the C-17. The PW2000 was designated by the USAF as the F117 engine. By labelling the F-117 aircraft with the same designation, they were able to hide the development in plain sight. If anyone heard or saw anything about the F-117, they'd assume it was related to the engine, rather than the secret stealth aircraft.

I've never read anything on the internet regarding this theory, but it's an interesting theory nonetheless.

What makes you say you can't modify them? Are you referring to modifying your copy, or are you referring to modifying the main branch and thus other people's copies? You're trying to blame this on "megacorps". However, as a user, I appreciate the maintainers at Mozilla for keeping Firefox well-tested and well-maintained, part of which is scrutinizing feature proposal and PRs/patches to make sure that their end users would want them. This is such a strange criticism of Chromium/Firefox. At least you can modify your copy at all.

Your other comment suggests trying to add a new web standard but IMO the unending stream of web standards is why only "megacorps" maintain browser engines, because only they have the resources and care enough.

Either way, it's a logical leap to suggest you need to modify Chromium or Firefox to implement this in the first place. The concept from TFA can be implemented with webviews without seeing any code from any browser. To answer your first question, the only thing stopping any implementation is time.

Let me get this straight: you want to solve the problem of information which "lies by omission"... by omitting more of it by law?

Imagine I provide some good or service that is extremely valuable to people, but there is a law preventing me from telling those people. Now those people cannot receive my goods or services. Is that not also "lying" by omission?

Advertisements can be misleading, yes, and there should be regulations to prevent misleading advertisements.
> The biggest problem in the world today is lack of trust and the failure of institutions. (Which, ironically, may have been been caused by the web and the huge amount of information it made available.) And blockchains address this.

The big rub in your belief is that social groups don't scale. In a group of size of 100 people or so, standard social techniques (such as peer pressure and ostracization) can keep order. But at 10,000 people, that doesn't work. Delegation does scale. Society and civilization essentially works by creating structures that can impose norms, rules, and punishment among others and offloading the cost of doing so to people who specialize in those tasks. Now, that doesn't mean that there aren't issues of "who watches the watchmen," but it does mean that that is the question you should be asking.

One example of the problems of decentralization is the modern information delivery mechanism. Because it's feasible to serve smaller groups, our social groups have broken up into smaller echo chambers where we're fed only the information we want to hear. The ease of spreading information is also ease of spreading misinformation, and objection to censorship means there's no way to control spread of misinformation.
Echoing others, FE International is an established broker that is respected on both sides and will help you get all your financials in order. They also offer paperwork help to buyers, so they really do a great job on both sides. Having gone through a sale of business without them, it is an extremely annoying process that will consume your efforts for far longer than you think.

That being said, the businesses mostly being sold are either dropshipping, content with ad/affiliate rev. or the occasional SaaS, usually in a tidy package. It sounds like you might fit in thst last category, but your space might be too complicated for an easy sale. Usually people there are buying businesses without staff and take them over after a brief handoff. So if the business knowledge is key, it might not be valued appropiately there.

You could always split the difference and target 5-10 companies you think might want to buy you. Get a person on the phone if possible and let them know you are preparing to sell your business "in the coming months" and plan to be listed on FE International. Simply ask them if they would like to be notified when the sale is on.

Now you might hear crickets, they might say "ok" or they might decide to buy you right away. No matter the outcome, you will be in a better position to gauge the interest level if you try to sell.
I'm fairly sure I tried somewhere around .3mg 4 hours before bed and it still woke me up (and I couldn't get back to sleep for hours). I just recently tried .3ish mg (scooped from powder this time so not very precise, next time I'll try the water mixing trick that someone here suggested) 7 hours before bed for five days and it still seemed to wake me up more than usual (but I also took other stuff with it and was able to get back to sleep quickly most of the time), although hard to tell for sure if it was the melatonin since it was only a few days. Which is a little strange since the half life is short enough that it should all be long gone by the time I actually get to bed. The melatonin did seem to help in some ways though, so I will try it again soon.

At that scale you can definitely get acquihired (hired + a starting bonus) as an engineer - if THEY find YOU. Best way to do that? Market presence!

If you don't want to run your company anymore, selling the company might be more trouble than it's worth. You won't get THAT much cash for it, and you might end up at a engineering job that doesn't suit you, with golden handcuffs so you don't leave. That's the risk. After you're done working at the acquiring company, you'll just be another engineer, with a nice extra line on your resume most engineers don't have.

On the other hand, at the acquiring company you could find a business cofounder and if you want to, start another company, with more cash in your pocket, and more credibility with investors. That's the upside! But you'll be assuming that you're going to have a better idea in the future than the one your currently have.

Anyway this is all hypothetical. If you want corp dev people to find you, you need visibility in the marketplace. That means SEO, blog articles, etc.

The general concept isn't specific to magnetic media at all, although the underlying mechanisms vary.

Any EPROM/EEPROM/Flash will leak charge from its cells and eventually lose data if not periodically refreshed. Even some mask ROMs develop bad bits over time due to latent manufacturing defects.

Many CD-Rs and DVD-Rs recorded ~15-20 years ago already have uncorrectable errors (due to the dye degrading?). Pressed discs are nominally immune, but may have manufacturing defects that lead to progressive failure (e.g. "laser rot" on LaserDiscs manufactured by certain plants).
One of the largest and most secretive companies in the world, the same one obsessed with preventing all leaks from exiting the company, the same one who produces ubiquitous devices with occasional national security implications that interest foreign governments, the same one who deals with serious IP problems in the very example nation you just happened to choose, has no thinking or plans around the well-known threats of industrial espionage or sabotage, is what you’re essentially saying. Consider for a moment whether that could be remotely plausible, and I think you’ll see it isn’t.

Well, some of us see an early sign of hoarding in people who stockpile books.

Even if someone has the means to grow a large library without interfering in their day to day living, I think there is something sad about large, private libraries and collections where books sit untouched. I compare them to books in a bustling university or community library and think what a shame it is for those resources to waste away like that.

My wife and I still haul around some books we acquired during university, which feel like equal part sentimentality and obligation. But, we've re-taken to using our nearby libraries to borrow books, read them, and return them to the stream.

When I buy books these days, I read them and then usually set them free somewhere, whether a miniature lend-borrow shelf at work or just loaning them out to anybody I know who might be interested. I don't loan them with an expectation to see them again, but the hope they will get passed along and well used.

One thing that I miss from this list are Lattice's breakout boards. You get board with all the FPGA/CPLD pins broken out onto 0.1" headers, integrated USB programmer, 5V input power supply cascade, few LEDs and nothing much else for price that is comparable to the part itself in one-off quantities.

Edit: I'm not sure that Lattice still sells these minimal development boards.

To give an opposing data point, I think that the conventional interview style is working well in some places. I'll discuss Microsoft, where I interviewed last fall for an internship.

There were a total of 4 interviews from various people on a perspective team, all back to back in the morning, 30 minutes each. Each interview was pillared by an algorithmic problem of varying difficulty, but there was clearly no expectation that you'd write a working program in the time. Most of the time was spent discussing the problem, comparing it to other ones you've approached before and searching for solutions. If you felt comfortable after this you could write code given time.

4 algorithmic interviews may sound like a lot, but I credit Microsoft for using this to the candidate's advantage. Each interview is an opportunity to succeed and show your best self, and I found that the one question that played to my strengths had the most impact on my hiring decision, whereas questions I did poorly on did not ruin my chances.

The rest of the interview was spent discussing past experiences, with an emphasis on the challenges of collaboration. This part was a discussion, with extensive back and forth and no expectation to be a certain way or exude some quality. Some of my discussions ended with us at unsolvable questions, and in others I got valuable feedback that I brought back to my personal projects. All in all my interviews at Microsoft helped me grow as a programmer.

Further, Microsoft makes their on-site interviews an enjoyable process, giving candidates time to learn about the company, tour the campus, and spend time in the Seattle area to get a taste of it. Their interviews are as much an enjoyable vacation as an opportunity to show your stuff. For me Microsoft's hiring process (At least the on-site part, stages before this have some issues) was an enjoyable opportunity for growth.
You just named a lot of things. Why should I hire you?

Exactly. For me, being away is like turning my work "switch" to off. I know I may have email piling up, and that my problems aren't going to go away, but I feel that I'm free to ignore them because I'm physically distant from the location where I usually worry about them. I usually worry about work and emails when I'm home, and staying home wouldn't be relaxing, even though in theory I could just ignore everything.

Make sure you're on the radar of biz-dev/partnership/product-management people at your potential acquirers. Check through your existing professional contacts for potential warm intros. And, your customers – product managers at the target orgs may already be trial users of your product.

If you're not naturally a sales-y networker/glad-handler/negotiator, if you have a trusted friend/colleague who is, you might want to bring them in as an advisor/junior-partner, incentivized to find & close a deal.

But, someone with the right incentives, industry knowledge, & negotiating prowess could pay for their 'commission' many times over.

One of the closest experiences to flying this thing came in 1991, in the form of "F-117A Stealth Fighter" PC game, made by MicroProse. It was a masterpiece for its time in terms of the detailed console one had to learn to fly this. If you never play the game, you should just consider flipping through the incredible manual: http://www.abandonia.com/files/extras/25631_game_extra_1.pdf

The game and the manual had a ton of jargon that one had to learn to play the game, adding to the feeling of being in a real sim :) The section on evasion and defense systems was especially charming (Basically, this game was a dream for a kid who was into PC games and flying sims).
The paper version that came with the box explained tons of small details about the plane e.g. how radar absorption paint works (I learned later from a documentary that F-117 had to be repainted after every mission, making maintenance very expensive).

Two highlights of the gameplay were: a) landing on an aircraft carrier and b) learning capabilities of different types of missiles and how to deploy them (i.e. one was forced to read the manual!).

When I hear about F-117, I can't help remember this hidden-gem PC game.
