All startups are network effect business. The unfortunate side effect of this is that brilliant startups in third world countries wither and die in spite of having accomplished more technical progress

Some of the yc companies are technically inferior to their competitors but they are more successful due to the network effect.

Eg we use both yc flexport and their competitor freightos. Freightos is much easier,has API, is automated and is real time with much more choices. We ended up integrating with freightos

In a matter of few days? Cause as far as I know human can survive without food for maximum of 10 days.

You argument make sense if we take human out of equation. Then we shouldn't be feeding poor AT ALL, given 1,000 years of founding tech with 100% budget would definitely save more lives.. eventually.

Edit: put it in other words: somebody is dying of hunger today so we can fund better technology for tomorrow, sure. Let's just hope its not me or you starving, if that kind of argument helps you sleep at night.
+1, I think it's critical to stay technically sharp, but that doesn't have to mean pushing user-facing code to production. I can only recall one time I've actually checked in production code since I transitioned to manager (and I definitely felt like I was shirking my manager duties by sinking a day into it), but I stay close to the code in 2 ways:

(1) I review the majority of the code that the team writes, and I also read other people's reviews to evaluate our code review practices.

(2) I hack around with new tools & technologies to evaluate them. This has resulted in some code bits in wikis documenting "here's how to get started with this thing", but not touching any prod systems. I usually save this kind of thing for our "personal projects"/hackday days at work.
Working in the center of Berlin, I wish Berlin would do the same. There is a hospital near, and a constant load noise level from ambulances. Without cars, those could be much much quieter, but traffic increased, cars got more soundproof and people hear loud music, so ambulances became loader all the time. Noise kills people.
The title is kind of misleading.

Cannabis is to be decriminalised, and parliament has two years to adapt existing legislation to make this a reality.

Legalisation is another thing entirely.
totally agree, but a question for you and others - what's the point | what's going to happen | why is so much $$ being put into autonomous vehicles?

I don't like mixing the 2 but maybe because I don't do it often (I'm more on the technical side). When I do, I feel I am half-assing the technical part and short-changing the people expecting better management. A no-longer-codes, ex-coding manager has some of the advantages, in that they should still not need things dumbing down, but do need to delegate everything technical to the team because their hands are tied. If things are not dumbed down too much, and they are involved in technical discussions even if not the actual implementation, then they can stay on top of the technical side.

Not saying your way is bad, just difficult! Some mistakes I have been guilty of with your approach are:

If you do not delegate work well then you as a coding-manager can become a bottle neck. Sometimes work as a manager is unpredictable and breaks the flow of the coding part. Your coding work has to be passed to someone else (wasteful, as they need to get up to speed on it, context switch, etc) or others have to wait for you to finish the interruption manager-stuff and carry on with your technical work.

A manager like that can be tempted to make snap decisions (which may later turn out to be wrong or costly). Whereas a "dumb" manager can genuinely use the excuse that they have to consult with the team before making a technical decision. Of course you can always say you need to consult with the team, but it is really tempting to speed things up by short-circuiting the process and making decisions right away.
And the UK support in the survey was an overwhelming 0.02% of the population. Compared to 3.79% of the German population.

Given we couldn't even be bothered to move to a timezone that EU other countries are on (Portugal aside), I can't see there being much appetite for change.

Now, if the EU Commission had said they were forbidding the removal of daylight saving, I think it would be a completely different story...
But it doesn't have to be perfect, just has better than human drivers. That doesn't seem too difficult.
Thank you very much. About the font, can you share what browser/device/OS do you use?
I've used Garmins and Apple watches for years now. As an avid road cyclist, I always used some type of Garmin wrist device for heart rate monitoring.

As a tech person, I always found the Apple watch to be more on the 'smart watch / techie' side of things - and more aesthetically pleasing.

There is no doubt that the Garmin does a better job of actually recording a ride, or transmitting heart rate to your cycling computer, or just about anything activity-based. So I was always swapping my Apple for my Garmin before rides, workouts, etc.

I always knew there was a shortcoming with even the Garmin when it came to heart rate accuracy - it just didn't respond quickly enough to sudden changes in heart rate (ie. going up a hill at full throttle, etc) - so I tried a heart rate strap on the chest. The Garmin heart rate strap for the chest is perfectly accurate and responds to changes in heart rate immediately. I have that paired with my cycling computer on my bike...and I no longer swap watches depending on what I'm doing.

I've learned to appreciate the Apple Watch for what it is - a device to record activities where heart rate accuracy isn't necessarily 100% important - such as a quick training jog or a quick treadmill workout at the gym, etc.

In either event, I've rambled long enough. I'll be first in line for the new Apple Watch 4 - and will sell my Apple Watch 3 shortly after. I might keep my old wrist strap though. :D
The batteries are supposed to eliminate the need for 100% coverage, though, isn't it?
It worked out well for both of them. I recall, at the time, when Apple did the deal for $1mm, that it provided a lot of validity to Amazon that their patent was for real, and any vendor that was directly competitive with Amazon would likely think, at least a little bit longer, before directly ignoring Amazon's patent on "one-click" purchasing.
>Performance can vary quite a lot from task to task, also compile times suffer a lot and you lose some dynamic features.

That's actually really bad in Graal. I compiled a few classes project in Java, JS and Ruby. Compilation time was measured in minutes and memory usage most of the time was >8GB.

No, there were some deliberate design decisions. E.g., there was an attempt at a new start: XHTML 2. This got boycotted by browser vendors out of a mix of politics and business priorities.

Instead they went with HTML 5, which generally sees scripting as the core to make non-trivial web applications and also explicitly encourages JS libraries and frameworks.

So I don't think it's surprising that today, pages are piles of scripts on top of scripts.
Note that this is from January.
If only there was some common, easily visible browser UI element that told users when an EV cert was present, so they didn't have to understand the differences between certs.

I'd be interested in seeing an analysis of batteries vs hydrogen when it comes to environmental impact. Does anyone know which one wins? I suspect hydrogen due to the environmental impact of mining / producing the battery materials, then disposing / recycling them later.
Not, if you think it is suggesting giants to slow down a little.
I also think there's a cultural relativism (pardon the anecdotal neologism~) factor. 100 years ago, moving people with a loaded trunk 100miles an hour was heaven. It became an obvious axiom of modern life that "further faster" was always good. To an extent I even think high speed internet is related to that (you can be everywhere without even moving).

But I realized that going fast you forget what's near, and you forget what time can feel. Walking around you discover places you didn't know, you spend time in the forest, on a hill. You're not rushing to go from A to B. Maybe "time density" will have a come back.
In cities sure, but there’s plenty of us who do not want to live in cities. Heck, I don’t even want to live within eye sight of neighbors, stores, or really anything else except some pristine woods. That’s not possible without a car.
Berlin is the most car friendly city in Germany, both east and west (and the united city) spent a lot of money on car friendly streets - and still is.

It's funny that the German political party SPD which is responsible for most of this now wants to rebrand itself as bicycle friendly. But the largest sausage producer in Germany is now also the largesg vegan 'meat' producer. And soon pigs will fly.
Around here (this site I mean), the majority opinion doesn't find any problem at all with sleet and snow and cycling.

The odd thing about this is how the biking paths around here (a city 60N) still remain relatively empty for a long time in the winter. It almost confuses me, but not really :-)
"These conditions can occur on a daily basis in the summer, especially in Florida"

Can confirm, just spent 30 summer days in Florida. People don't pull over and stop, they just put on their "hazards" and slow down, sometimes to 25-30 MPH depending on the intensity of rain. This happens every single day.

I have a list of Perl ‘wtf’ moments. The discovery of autovification was one of them.

Perl autovivifies on existence checks. This has led to A LOT of bugs.

Particularly since native Perl objects have all the behaviors of hashes so instead of getting the equivalent of a null exception Perl happily creates a hash and the process won’t bomb out until I try to call a method on the hash which I was expecting as a particular type.

In legacy code, this has led to a lot of safety checks verifying the variable is actually the expected type.
All my contracts that include such an interest clause also include language to the effect of “the lesser of X or the maximum allowed by law”.
Is this sort of thing still possible in a public companies with Sabarnes Oxley?
More questions for headlines. Just clickbait pretending to be a news article. You would think that the BBC would be immune to this form of "journalism" since they are an established news company backed by taxpayer money.

But since the BBC asked, I'll apply Betteridge's Law and simply answer no. Did I pass?
I wonder how self-driving cars will handle highway lanes in active snow. Here in Minnesota four-lane highways regularly turn to three and two lane highways when the snow covers the roadway markers and people just start making their own general paths. Will the software just follow the crowd, or will the software car be the one weird vehicle ignoring the conditions and following the lane that no one can see.
First thing I noticed when moved to SF Bay Area from Europe was “God, Los Gatos would be so beautiful if the main street was a pedestrian area.” Then went actively searching for one and found a little stretch at Santana Row in San Jose, if you can call 30 meters of blocked off street pedestrian area.

But even dense populated cities like SF dont have a pedestrian zone. It is one of the rare things I miss quality of life wise.

So you don't think the headline, "Maezawa spends a quarter of a billion to save hundreds of thousands" would have a larger impact on world peace than the current one? Let me get this straight, I don't mind how he's spending his money. My entire issue is that he doesn't need to bring in world peace as a reasoning to go to the moon. He's helping advance technology which is a noble cause.
Almost 100% of commercially sold hydrogen is made as a byproduct of producing fossil fuels though. Yes, batteries take a lot of materials, but you can recycle them over and over again.
There was a limbo period where Sun, circa 2004-2007, had a defacto opposition to any consideration of any Java being open source until OpenJDK came along. I asked the question of senior figures in 2005 and they laughed it off. ONly to then be forced to adapt when Redhat et al wanted an FLOSS java. Thus OpenJDK got a licensing exception.

Ultimately the dev kit for android is a clean room implementation (submitters made legal commitments to that fact). The question pivots on how you feel abut the IP of the java language and the library interfaces being used by someone else.
Unless there's ice on the road, I ride my bike year-round in Berlin.
Yes, but not by companies investing. This is a great place to live, and if you have remote work you will live really well with minimal costs. It is just too corrupt and anarchic to be a good target for investment. The idea of a company headquarters here is simply impossible. It would have to be placed out in the middle of nowhere.

Naples can be a tech hub, but in the leftist anarchist community sense rather than the big business sense. People will have to choose to do so. From what little I've seen this does seem to be happening already.

My comparison of dynamically scoped variables to globals might be wrong, but, unlike my comment on the way languages have developed, it is not an argumentum ad populum.

It has been a while since I worked with dynamically-scoped programs, but I found it harder to reason about how they worked. Maybe it was just because I was less familiar with the technique.

It might be that all forms of beyond-local scoping multiply the difficulty in reasoning about programs (especially in the presence of mutable data), and dynamic scoping is a more powerful form of it, increasing the opportunity for setting up difficult-to-follow situations.

The issue of ease of understanding is a different one than ease of extending, and I would judge the former to be more important, all else being equal.
Probably by doing the opposite: Allow Home ISP IP spaces only and block everything else.
This is beautiful, and love the concept. Of course, the sales pitch and the product design could be improved.

Italy has a problem attracting talent, capital, and companies even in the "better" and more developed areas. How can Naples fare? The article mentions student academies, which is the only way it can manage since salaries would be way too low for experienced workers.
Several of the subreddits I mod make extensive use of CSS decorations. It's simply impossible to construct anything similar with the redesign. There are also so many missing or broken features that are in a state of flux it's hardly worthwhile to put forth a lot of effort attempting to do so.

Moreover watching the traffic stats it's clear that the majority of users access Reddit in the communities I care for do so through mobile apps where not only is it impossible to do nearly any form of differentiation, it's difficult to communicate community standards or other info, like FAQs to casual users.

So currently the most functional user interface that can effectively communicate all features available to communities is the old desktop one, which by design is now the least used. It's a farcical disaster.

The math of why it’s so hard to build a spherical Death Star in space
In relation to the transportation-problem being discussed, autonomous vehicles are much better than normal privately owned cars because (in theory) they do not need any parking, at least not in premium inner city ground. They can just drive away and park somewhere where they aren't disturbing anyone, and come back when needed. Alternatively, if they are part of a car sharing service, the % of time the car is not being used and is therefore a wasted resource is going down. A normal car is only being used for what, 5-10% of the day? the rest of the time it is a completely wasted resource. If a car is not owned by an individual but by a group of consumers, a much smaller amount of cars is needed to satisfy transportation needs for the entire group.

Of course, even though they have these two advantages, they will still pollute(if not electric, and even so because they must transport more mass than say a scooter, and the electricity still needs to be generated at an external power plant) and create noise pollution and they also need to use traffic lanes and road-infrastructure.
Service industry. More and more things become a lot more complex than just a once in the past transaction of money for a gadget. (It never was that simple, mind you, but at least the responsibility of fit for a purpose, some kind of warranty and so on was clear, that it was the seller's.)

Now as people sell services that include access to 3rd party content (movies), the things become complicated.

That said, I think it's good that the users demand simplicity with regards to responsibility assignment.

When Apple sells an app on their store, and the app doesn't work, people understand that it's not Apple's fault.

But that's because the communication is clear. Whereas with media content Apple provides iTunes or Apple Music or the appropriate program and service, and so it's reasonable for end users to demand that Apple make good on its implied promises.

Take that same sentence and substitute "women" for "old people" and "men" for "young people". If you used such a statistic to say "Women tend not to get React" wouldn't that be obvious sexism?
In my city, Linz in Austria, only a small part is pedestrian, and even then the main-line of the 4 (actually 2+2) tram lines is cutting right through it. I wish they'd extend the pedestrian area and add that second tram line overground rather than underground as the current political fantasies look like.

Anyways, from that article, if you have a change in a city's government, change is a lot more likely to happen. If only there were some time-limitations on mayor posts and the council.
That really depends on the level of comfort you want to have when riding a bike. A lot of people do still use a

even if you don't do so, using it for 5/8 of a year is quite doable.
Haha, yeah. I can't remember it well, but I think that one was not great either.
My paid feature tiers really targeted commercial and heavy traffic users and I simply never had any of them sign up because the actual platform functionality targeted individual free users.

There are some hard to answer questions around the type of users that need dynamic pagebuilders, and you need your paid tier to target the specific pain points of people who would pay, not just arbitrary limits on free feature usage. I built the platform for free users so that's all I ever attracted.

If I did it again, I would focus on things businesses need like product widgets, contact forms, store maps, opening hours, social integration and so on.
Do people honestly do this? If they do, do they not take advantage of the platforms' services or do they rewrite all their code to the use each cloud's specific service (e.g. Kinesis vs Pub/Sub)? Or are they use using compute resource and running the services themselves? If it's the latter, isn't that as close you need to get to get to prevent vendor lock in? Deploy your code on any cloud and you're going...

3 Reasons Mainstream News Is Awful
privately owned gasoline-guzzlers are an archaic solution to the transportation problem, and they are not effective in today's society

For people with a very limited lifestyle restricted to a few city blocks perhaps this is true. But the majority of people do not live that way and have use cases for cars that you have not considered in your analysis.

By other people, funnily enough
There's another overarching term that needs put in here:

Cash Flow: the balancing of AP and AR so that you can stay afloat.

Say your startup needs $10k a week to meet payroll. You have $20k in the bank and Accounts Receivable of $100k. "On paper" you have $120k. Cash flow wise you have 2 weeks of money left on hand.

This situation is in constant tension as:

- Large companies stall regularly on paying or require terms like "Net60", aka you complete the work, then send them an invoice, then they can take 60 days to pay that.

- Public companies have to report their financials and will often manipulate their AP schedules to help "massage" their numbers. I was once told bluntly: "our CFO said we aren't paying any more invoices this quarter"

- The reason large companies do this is they are also trying to balance their cash flow (just at a larger scale).

The two general things to do to help with this situation:

1. Keep invoicing tight, bill as often and in as small as increments as possible. Better to ask for $20k every 2 weeks than $40k at the end of the month.

2. Offer discount terms where they pay less if they pay earlier.
I don't know. Is Apple actually selling it? Or do they just provide the marketplace and the payment gateway (bankcard charging services)?
Excellent summary with one caveat: balance (1) and (8):

1. (don't) Keep coding
8. (don't) Stop learning your craft
You're judging Nietzsche using circular logic.

You're saying that because he's respected by some academics, he is objectively worthy of respect. But that's contingent on those very same academics being worthy of respect. And I'm not sure that they are, personally.

This is a major problem in academia and other areas. The academics end up being judged by fellow academics, and any claim to merit becomes completely circular. That's how you end up with things like Brutalist architecture -- it's because the architects are seeking approval from fellow architects; and not the people who have to live in, and around, what they build.

Even worse, those academics who "suck up" to other academics end up having the favour returned to them. He scratches your back, you scratch his, then he scratches yours again... You end up with citation rings.
