Hey, cool product you have. I've grown up at the farm and been dreaming of starting an agriculture related company at some day. Most of the biggest issues humanity is facing nowadays are related to agriculture (climate change, starvation etc.)

In my country (Finland) farms are folding faster than ever due to driest summer of the century. Still the food prize isn't going up - neither the profits of the companies selling their products.

Because, it is installed on Macs, as I said. I don't want to have to teach people how to install python 3, when they already have python 2, which is fine.

Also, redhat had promised support for a while yet, and I expect spoke to keep it working until they replace with Python 3 (or remove python altogether?)

i love this article, it does show some of the bloat of modern operating systems etc. but really that bloat can be controlled and tamed. This kind of technical 'solution' to one problem which is causing other subtle issues, and eating away at our resources is a big issue though in a lot of modern systems. There are so many 'hidden' or sneaky mechanisms which can have bad effects on other programs if they aren't well understood.
Thank you for your perspective.
Honestly, in the world that you are imaging we never would get any kind of self-driving ever.

There's a hidden false dichotomy there: That Tesla and Space X couldn't exist / succeed without Musk working his employees and himself into a burnout. I'm not sure that that is true. The same Musk with the same employees could've perfectly well done these companies at a sane pace - maybe even without losing speed in the grand scheme of things given that less stuff would've gone wrong.
I'm using Yubikey for that too and would also be interested in open source solution, especially if it included ed25519 and secure, tamper proof element. (Gnuk has the former but not latter).

This step makes sense. Random first aid person carrying an injector without proper knowlege on how to use one seems a bit... short-sighted.

Sure, those 6-year-olds know how to use them because they've been trained on how to use them. So have their caregivers. Usually this is because they might need to use one on themselves, a sibling, or a parent - who has a known condition.

The random person that doesn't come in contact with such a relative or housemate, however, might not even properly recognise the reaction. Even when they do, they still need the training on how to use the pen so they know how to respond. The prudent thing to do in these cases is to give a first aid and CPR course to those that wish to have one.

Is their success hanging on Musk calling someone a pedo? Because much of that hate came from unwarranted stuff like this.
A brand new laptop I bought this year can't run Windows 10, the system is basically unusable. Not a cheap laptop, either, it was one of the more expensive ones. It runs Ubuntu no problem. All of Microsofts products seem to have latency issues, and I still can't figure out for the life of me why it takes longer to open a file in Visual Studio or in Word on my gaming desktop than it does to load a current year $60 video game. I wish designers focused what they call "gamefeel" in video games: how quickly, clearly, and satisfyingly does the program react to user input.

Edit: on the other hand, computers do start up a heck of a lot faster than they used to.
We cannot stop technology, for as we know, we'll heading to a star "war"-ish era if that happen. One thing we must do is, if military will use it to betterment of humanrace and not extinction, then why not? The innovation of technology today also produce psychopats on our way.
Maybe common crawl
Most companies in their early days can easily fail -- the more ambitious they are the more likely they are on the edge. Short sellers are part of the market - I completely agree. But when you have made these giant bets, then you are actively trying to make them fail - stop further investment, dissuade customers, promote disinformation, etc.

When trying to do something new and difficult - the status quo can easily throw rocks; and it takes 10x the effort clear up bullshit than to generate it.

This is one of my few bugbear's about Tesla - other than this I think they're doing a fine job making EVs seem cool and changing perceptions[0]. I just wish they'd not have named it "Autopilot". That is such a loaded term that to me it's exceptionally disingenuous to claim it implies anything other than self-driving.

I work in marketing, I'm always looking for the best spin to put on an offering, but I shake my head every time I see "Autopilot" used when they actually just mean "better than average driving assistance".

[0] whether or not they succeed as a company is a different point, their importance to me is wider than their actual business and whether they flame out or not is, presently, neither here nor there.
Open Sourcing TransmogrifAI – Automated Machine Learning for Structured Data
2 bed house, $310 a week, that's under half the minimum wage. That doesn't seem too extreme to me. That's for a two bed remember, so if you are a couple on median wage, you'll be earning $1800 a week pre tax, about $1500/week take home.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/property/residential-property-to-r...

Should be able to save $450 a week out of that. After 3 years that's $70k, a 20% deposit on https://www.realestate.co.nz/3341361, with a mortgage then costing about $330 a week.

The problem people who complain about house prices seem to have is that they want to live in very specific and desirable locations (Certain parts of Auckland for instance). There is a high demand for these locations, therefore price is high. But clearly the price is reasonable as people can afford to live there, otherwise they wouldn't pay the rent/mortgage.

When people stop paying high prices for rent in aukland, and instead live elsewhere, then companies in Aukland will have to either

1) Relocate to cheaper locations to attract staff

2) Pay staff more so staff can live in the area

It's the same the world over. You can buy a house in the UK half an hour out of two major cities for £125k. That's a £7k deposit (£44/week or £190/month for 3 years) and £550 a month after that.

If you can afford £600 a month for housing costs (£400 rent plus £200 deposit), you can rent for 3 years, then buy, within 35 minutes of Leeds and Manchester. Minimum wage is about £1200 a month after tax.

You're right, not yet!

HN is likely the only outlet I could even remotely consider falling under that category of "professional development", aseven time spent on TechCrunch, ProductHunt, Gizmodo, Motherboard etc. is usually just more of the same stuff I look at on Reddit but without the guilt of actually _being_ on Reddit. Consequently, those are the sites I've caught myself spending way too much time on without noticing that most of my intake of articles and videos is just fluff.

Any chance you could share some of those outlets you personally consider similar to HN?
> That's just, like, your opinion, man. Society certainly does not need so many graduates in English Literature: there are only so many open positions at McDonalds, and they as a rule do not require a degree.

This strikes me as a deeply sad view of the world. As an individual, a well-rounded education is a life-enriching thing, even if it doesn't directly tie into your professional career. As an overall society, having a more highly-educated populace is a net positive for everyone.

Interesting that you ask how to diagnose and manage the complexity, but not how to avoid it. Do we really need a more or less complete OS+VM (aka web browser) running on top of another OS (Windows etc.) to read e-mails?
> (Maybe we're still "talking past" each other.)

Yes and no, I understand your point. If I can restate it for you, your point is this "Anything that is invented can be improved with a variable amount of effort."

And I don't disagree with that point at all. Where we part ways is that I also believe that there are inventions that cannot be improved enough to actually be worth producing. They are "dead ends" in the parlance when the amount of effort needed to produce the thing (even with the improved process) is insufficient to make that thing worth doing.

My interest in batteries and battery chemistry comes from my interest in mobile robotics (from roomba sized to battlebot sized). So I've been following the market pretty closely since 1986 or so when I joined the Homebrew Robotics Club in the Bay Area. I have watched many battery "breakthroughs" go no where. And it isn't because the people didn't want them to go no where, they lost a lot of money that way[1].

I will grant you that these companies "improved" what they had done in the lab, but they never improved enough to actually be able to sell batteries and keep the company going. Which is what I am defining as "not possible."

If you would like to explore this topic further there is even a book on it [3]. Salient comment from that article "While countless breakthroughs have been announced over the last decade, time and again these advances failed to translate into commercial batteries."

[1] For instance, only 36 battery startups received more than $500,000 in funding since 2000, and of these only two returned more money than was invested into them --https://spectrum.ieee.org/energywise/consumer-electronics/po...

Select VC investors: Bill Gates, CapX Partners, Constellation Technology Ventures

Total disclosed funding: $196.6M

Company CEO, Scott Pearson, commented: “Creating a new electrochemistry and an associated battery platform at commercial scale is extremely complex, time-consuming, and very capital intensive. Despite our best efforts to fund the company and continue to fuel our growth, the Company has been unable to raise the growth capital needed to continue operating as a going concern.” -- https://www.cbinsights.com/research/biggest-startup-failures...

>>> Let's compare that to unicorns. I own some shares in a unicorn that has been worth over $1B for nearly 3 years. In that time myself and all the other shareholders have had exactly 0 opportunities to sell the stock.

I've seen liquidity events at smaller companies. VC offered to buy back shares from employees, at roughly 1/4th of what they would be worth if the company could IPO overnight.

Point being. You will NEVER be able to sell your shares unless a company is public.

"and they will inevitably have extreme personality traits" – I find that a pretty bold claim and don't believe it to be true. And I'd much rather settle Mars a few hundred years later if that in turn means that Mars will be settled by not-so-big-assholes than if it happened sooner.
Another way to look at it is to consider that it’s really embarassing to suffer an extremely high cost in lives lost, over a misconfigured Group Policy Object or Windows Registry Key or /etc/hosts file.

Something like that is akin to trusting cheap sheetrock/gypsum board and a couple of molly screws to support the weight of some priceless oil painting in a massive ornamental frame.

To see a priceless thing destroyed, but for want of a proper wall to mount it on is insult to injury.
agree, this kind of issues exists in any highly complicated systems which need to take into account memory security etc.
I dont think a lot of people realise that modern browsers are about as complicated as the operating systems they run in and have about as much counter measures for security problems as the OS undernearth it. To manage these systems resources securely and not have them fight eachother in the process is an incredibly complicated and tedious job.

That being said i do agree with a lot of people there is a lot of bloat. But often this bloat is caused by lack of understanding of this complexity in what they are building software. If things like this are more generally known and understood problems like this memory issue in google application would be less.

my own solution to my hate for bloat is to write my own software from scratch. and before i complete that lifetime task i feel it's unfair to complain at others who spend their entire lifetime making programs you use because they made it a little too bloated for you due to whatever reasons...

I think for your question worth discussing, why/how this happens, and how to make it easier to diagnose, is that more people like the writer of this blog are so kind as tho share their findings with us :)
I don't mind so much when a single program that I'm using interactively has a pause, even though it's annoying as hell. What really bugs me is that regardless of how many cores I have, there is always one pegged by that annoying background service. If I start up windows, you can bet that windows update will first peg a core for a few minutes. Then the builtin windows antiviris takes over (perhaps because win update wrote some files, who knows), pegging a core for a few more minutes. Then my backup program service (iDrive in this case) pegs a core for a few more minutes. All of these programs I understand why they are running, but despite me setting "quiet hours" and "please backup only at night" etc, they seem to run for several minutes when I least want it. After all these programs are done (or, I have killed their processes and stopped their services more likely), some completely random apps and services seem to always take a core and peg it. SNMP (some network protocol service) often does it for hours on end. Killing it doesn't make anything obvious stop working - so I have no idea why it can use 100% cpu for hours on end. Explorer.exe (the desktop process) often goes into 100% cpu-mode. The "sound graph isolation" service is a common culprit.
When doing normal desktop work, this is often barely noticable. But when I boot my windows machine, it's usually to play a game, immediately after startup. And despite having many cores to spare, if one core is pegged, the framerate is 20fps instead of 100fps. This is presumably not because of CPU starvation, but more likely because of competition for memory/cache/storage resources.

I don't understand how all these services must use 100% CPU for minutes, on a fast cpu core, and why they must run ANY logic on startup, which is when the user is most likely to use his machine. Don't even read your app config on start of process. Sleep a few hours and THEN wait until the machine is idle and THEN do logic! Using power save modes is no better. When you take it out of sleep after 12 hours, the services are very eager to check for updates or antivirus or backup again, regardless of time.

I wish windows could just let me use my machine for what I intend to - which is use ALL my cores for ONE foreground application, ONLY. I'd be happy to boot into a freaking "game mode" or "work mode" which is like safe mode and has ZERO crap running (no unnecessary services, no scheduled tasks can start and so on).

Why would finding the source of the exception be difficult? The stack trace in exception-based languages goes back to the actual line, as opposed to a stack trace from an error-as-value based language, where it only goes to where you trigger generating the stack trace.

>It's surprising because economic liberalism doesn't have any deep roots in Greece. There is no liberal party. The Greeks traditionally think in terms of left and right.

A) There is a liberal party in Greece (just as much as there is a liberal party in Germany or France), the people just don't vote for it.

B) Liberalism and "laissez-faire thinking" are right wing, I can't see another way of thinking about that.

I am a recent (after-crisis) Greek immigrant and the assumptions made by the article are not true for me. It is not the wages (I am a professional in an area where there are a lot of good paying jobs, even in Greece) or the bad public sector (you learn to deal with that) that is keeping me away from Greece. It is the beyond-imagination terrible working conditions. Why would I leave my union-protected job in Germany to work twice as many hours (paid overtime is not a thing in Greece) with 0 job stability?

I had the opposite experience. In general most self-help books do what you describe, but I thought Deep Work went into quite some detail on how to actually achieve it.

For instance the idea of how you deal with short moments of boredom in general (also outside of work) has a lot of influence on how good you are at ignoring distractions during work was an eye opener for me, and goes deeper than "secure big chunks of time to reach and be in the flow state".
