Haha exactly. I was quite unhappy about the lack of options in the beginning of this year and just went with Vimium, which I don't really like. This thread led me to realize that so many projects have come up out of the blue. Tridactyl is definitely the most functionally complete one and I'll now switch to it. Thanks for the work.

Personally, I'd call what came out of the Nag Hammadi remarkable. Another edge case that I'm reading is The Kolbrin (it's authenticity is in question, but it's words are very inspiring) [0]

And of course, the Pistis Sophia, whose opening line is:

"IT came to pass, when Jesus had risen from the dead, that he passed eleven years discoursing with his disciples, and instructing them..." [1] [2]

The first few chapters are full of hard to read symbolism, but there's a lot to absorb in there.

By the way, to use IMAP/SMTP you will need to switch "enable unsecure apps" in Google Account preferences. Google considers all auth methods except OAuth2 to be insecure (and OAuth2 doesn't work in my slightly outdated version of Thunderbird). But I think the opposite: with OAuth2 the token is stored on your device, with password auth the password is not stored anywhere.
Back End Testing: The Definitive Guide
A colleague from sales told me an anecdote once, that she is not going to use the word 'Startup' again during sales pitches and general customer interaction. I worked in publishing at that time and customers in this sector tend to be more conservative and long term planning than in other sectors. Essentially they feared that the company might not exist anymore in 2 years to come, because of {acquisition, restructuring, bankruptcy} or some other reason.

Appearantly beeing a 'Startup' seems to be associated instability and unreliability in some circles -- wich again is part of these 'cultural issues' wich I was talking about in the previous post.
PDFs might still work - but will the storage devices they are on? There are good reasons to doubt this: tapes, CDs and DVDs age and degrade over time; plus devices to read them only last so long, and may not be produced anymore at some point. Classic "spinning" hard drives degrade, too; and even ignoring this, will there still be conputers supporting, say, SATA, in 50 years?

And then there is a trend to switch to onboard soldered flash in new devices which adds further problems.

Not saying this is impossible to overcome, but "PDF might still work" is at best solving a part of the problem, for only a part of all data (PDF is great - but only for some types of data) one might want to preserve.
Top Mistakes to Avoid When Outsourcing Web Development

Win32 is a lower portability risk than UWP. Genuinely that’s what I’ve heard people say. Most of the UI and event stuff can be moved to wx or equivalent in a few months and deployed on other platforms.

UWP and you’re up shit creek.

Most companies are on the fence with running away from windows. It moved too fast, costs too much money to keep up with and has too much friction.

Take a look on the windows store for the massive uptake. Not. Half of it is still win32 and the rest is written by MSFT, crapware or abandoned.

Everything is in a right state despite the marketing to the contrary.
As stated in the article, most of these men/youth have the opportunity for bringing over their families which would smooth-en out the gender imbalances.
> Is Bloom's "Two Sigma" phenomenon real? ...
one-on-one tutoring using mastery learning led to a two sigma(!) improvement in student performance.

When I tutored, I found students often had some misunderstanding, somewhere. So my task was to listen, to find that misunderstanding, so I could correct it. This "teaching" is listening, more than talking.
The idea is they are lost, but to know what direction they need, I first must know where they are.

To correct misunderstanding without this guidance can be very difficult, and might only happen serendipitiously, years later... assuming they continue with study. Which an unidentified misunderstanding can prevent.

Recently, I'm seeing the other side, while self-learning some maths. I can see how much one-on-one tutoring would help clear up misunderstandings. Instead, I'm using the strategy of insisting on starting from the basics, chasing down each detail as much as I can, using online resources, and working out proofs for myself. Each step is a journey in itself...

Luckily, I have enough skill, confidence, motivation and time. By working it out myself, I think I'm also gaining a depth of understanding I could not get from a tutor's guidance.

But it sure would be a lot more efficient!

So, it is not free, just as Facebook and Google services aren't - which is exactly what GP said. So ... what is your point?
How do you imagine such an Equifax system would regard criticism of said Equifax system? Seems like the sort of thing that makes you a default risk, doesn't it.
I think it should be possible to build something akin to Tor (or even use the Tor protocol directly) that proxies requests and responses through intermediary nodes, so that the sender doesn't know who's the receiver and vice versa.

But you're probably right in that this is a relevant problem, as IP addresses are considered PII (in Europe at least), so leaking them could be problematic. That said, as Netflix already has a contract with each of its subscribers it shouldn't be too difficult to modify it to accommodate that kind of data sharing.

I imagine the real problem is ensuring streaming quality in such an infrastructure, as it's very hard to predict when a node will go down (e.g. user turns off laptop) or massively degrade in bandwidth (e.g. user starts downloading other content), and there's not much that customers hate more than interruptions when streaming movies (as you can probably attest firsthand). So given all these constraints it might be cheaper just using a CDN. Also, the bandwidth costs per customer probably make up a negligible share of overall costs (licensing is probably the biggest part) so it might not be worth optimizing this at all. I'd estimate that when I used Netflix I streamed maybe 20-30 movies / episodes per month (sometimes more), which would total at about 50-100 GB max (?) given the right encoding. For a company like Netflix that distributes probably petabytes of data a single GB should cost significantly less than 1 cent, so my bandwidth cost to Netflix would be between 0.5-1 $ per month (I even think it's much less probably).
Reading this I'd feel a lot better if YC was run by Patrick, I prefer people that know what questions to ask over those with all the answers.
> These bride costs should be allowed to climb infinitely, because it will serve as an incentive for families to have girls

Wow, a market correction to counteract societal undervaluation of females. If it could happen that would be profoundly constructive, but attitudes about gender are durable. It's not hard to imagine that instead of letting the price rise to incentivize an increase in supply, we could see see price fixing and rationing instead: the exertion of greater control over scarce resources and backwards progress in women's rights.
Maybe not, if the stock is already dropping. This affirms the current price to some extent.

Check out business school application essays. They demand deep reflection.
It's actually kind of impressive how much transitional stuff Apple has introduced and then removed with Mac OS X and how right many of their decisions turned out. I guess Cocoa itself was an extension of the legacy NextStep API too. They also had Classic for running old Mac apps directly in OSX and later Rosetta for running PowerPC binaries on Intel (I guess the same tech was used for the 32->64 bit transition). So many technologies have been smoothly deprecated and removed over the years by Apple.
It really doesn’t matter if the laws of nature are deterministic or not. Consider the past. At no time did a die come up both two and five, nor did a photon’s wavelength collapse in two places. Why should the future be considered differently? Events in the future will happen one specific certain way – we just can’t know which way until they actually happen. But we don’t have to be able to (even theoretically) predict future events for those future events to still be fixed in a four-dimensional space-time.
We have recently switched to Clubhouse, and while the UI is a bit cluttered it seems like a good fit so far.

> Part of the problem with blogs is that they're less rewarding than Facebook and Twitter: your post may perhaps get some thoughtful responses but it doesn't get immediate likes.

To me, this is not a problem. People should not be rewarded with instant dopamine for low-effort actions. [0] The reward for publishing on a blog is in the responses you receive from readers and not from a counter incremented by a click or pageview.

I rarely see more than shallow insight on Twitter/Facebook, as posts have a short visibility lifetime and replies longer than a sentence are collapsed. By contrast, blogs (not like Medium or Stack Exchange) will often receive deep, thoughtful replies months or years after they are published. There's no "algorithm" to please when you're writing a blog; your post will stay there until your domain name expires.

If you are having issues finding worthwhile blogs to read, ask people around you for suggestions. Not everything needs to be indexed by software.

> And part of the problem is, of course, that writing a good post is much harder than writing a witty tweet.

Where is the problem here? Thermodynamics and information theory tell us that a valuable long-form post ought to be more difficult to write by several orders (of orders) of magnitude. Yes -- it would be wonderful if we could all spit out fascinating 17-page theses every week or two, but that just isn't compatible with our biology. On the other hand, publishing 17 pithy tweets in a week is pretty easy, and people will probably give you plenty of attention for it.

correct, good point of view. thank you for the advice
Good observations! You forgot one major thing. This goes for all of Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The winter is horribly dark and boring. (Unless you're super rich). Therefore most turn inwards, staying indoors, thinking deeply at problems, spending endless afternoons and nights on things. Be it software development, game development, car tuning, car engine work, engineering, knitting or just reading loads of books.

I found this to be almost impossible to achieve when I moved from Norway to Australia. There I was outside hanging out with friends or just doing stuff on the beach or whatever. The deep focus was harder to achieve. Quality of life was insanely better there, yet somehow I missed the possibility to sit down and be productive in some narrow topic.
Thank you. An atmosphere has been created, that trys to make anybody that puts information about the secret services psyops out there an alex jones conspiracy theorist. Western secret services have morphed into the East German Stazi.

> low salaries for software engineers. The most of senior software developers will earn 50.000 - 60.000 EURO anually and after paying taxes it's only ~2.600 EURO per month (3.000 USD)

i have 5 years experience and already earn that much. our most senior staff gets their low 6 figures + bonus. what most dont see is, that additionally to those numbers, your employer pays their share of your healthcare and social security. thats probably another 15% or more.
you get at least 20 vacation days. most of the time its around 30.
they cant just fire you because you got sick.
and in case you get fired, there is a social security net to catch you.

yeah, from an US view it might look like a bad place and i would appreciate lower taxes. on the other hand: my mom is fighting cancer sind 1999. in the US i would already be bankrupt or my mom would be dead. or both
I think that historically law enforcement and intelligence agencies are strongly leaning to the right. They use the power granted by citizens to do their jobs and use it to pursue their personal political agendas.

"The activist, Kate Wilson, had a two-year intimate relationship with Mark Kennedy, who was known to her as Mark Stone. She only found out in 2010 that he had been an undercover officer tasked with infiltrating environmental protest groups." https://edition.cnn.com/2018/09/21/uk/uk-police-spy-activist...

Instead of investigating power corruption, the relationship between far-right groups and Russia, etc. UK thinks that infiltrating "environmental groups" and using government resources to allow an spy to have sex with an activist is more important, because "environmental activists" are bad...

Law enforcement and intelligence agencies around the world have a problem with lack of professionalism were personal political agendas triumph doing the duty that they have been tasked to do. That is why they are so inefficient and things like the Russian meddling with Brexit and the USA elections happen.

I once heard that root causes are almost never fixable, so pretty often the best that can be done is a few levels up.

The root cause of anything is probably something like mortality, human frailty, the laws of physics. We are very far from fixing any of those.

Twitter on the other hand can be changed, and probably some people on this very site work at Twitter and can (and should!) make socially responsible changes. It's not the root cause of anything but it has plenty of influence.

I think this question is interesting, what can we do about it?
You call this a competition? :-D

Basicaly GitLab is a competitor to GitHub.

Atlassian allways wanted to compete with those but will never succeed.

Just like they had to admit that HipChat and Stride are worse than Slack and they'd never get to the point that someone would want to use their chat tools, they will have to admit that Bitbucket + Bamboo will never be able to compete with GitLab or GitHub.

In my opinion the only really good things are Jira and Confluence.

There is no standalone tool that does the Jira stuff as good as they do.

There has never been an enterprise wiki which was so usable and consistent like confluence. Even if I have many paintpoints with it, I don't know something better for a wiki solution that has to be used by everyone from management to development (dev's cry the most about it).
I’m not sure what your sources are, but “most users” sounds incorrect. All of this stems from personal experience and is anedoctal, so I’ll leave it at that.
Maybe there's a problem analogous to "clustering" in opinion polls.

I presume every now and again econometrics people have to tweak the way they measure GDP.

Maybe if someone proposes a plausible tweak and it results in a surprisingly high or low figure their idea gets ignored, while it might be taken seriously if it ended up moving the figure towards the historical average.
His point, and one I share with great reservation, is that the distinction might be moot now thanks to a changing understanding (selling?) of the various meanings and understanings of "free". The jaded concept of 'nothing is really free' carries with it a cold chunk of truth, and people are baking it in. People think they have to surrender agency and personal dignity for basic services.
> I'm not gonna defend Jira. I don't like it. But this is the same thing people like to say about Office. It turns out that the 80/20 rule (80% of users only use 20% of features) never guarantees that even 50% use the _same_ 20%. You need to implement a lot more of Jira's complexity than you might think to get a significant part of Jira's market share.

Trello was the counterexample: it implemented less than 20% of Jira's features and was all the more useful for it. (thus Atlassian bought it and have started ruining it with bloat).
Your argument is completely valid in the current context, which is the only that matters. Just FYI, In other contexts these points are more nuanced:

> It's slower to deliver video since you're reliant on upload connections of end users.

This has been scaling really well for small unfunded projects that need to deliver big binaries, such as open source distributions.

> It's less reliable (same reason as above)

If you have large corporate or state level actors trying to censor the content, then this becomes the more reliable method.

> You have no guarantee that chunks will arrive in the right order to actually stream data (ie the end of the file might download first).

This is not fixed by the protocol, but by clients optimizing for total download speed. I think some clients allow you to download more sequentially.

> You cannot send multiple different video qualities...

Video torrents often come in 720p, 1K and sometimes even 4K versions. So you could pick in advance. But that's not dynamic mid-stream like you mention.

Since you offered to write more: Is there such a thing as a progressive codec for audio/video? I vaguely remember video chat codecs doing something like this, where you get progressive degradation if you loose packets.

> It's harder to debug network problems...

oh yes...

I think this is the main reason Skype and Spotify moved away from the P2P tech that they used initially. I hope this becomes less of an issue when projects like LibP2P and IPFS mature and become as reliable and common as TCP/IP and TLS.

> Time to start playing a new stream is longer...

You can solve many of the issues mentioned above by having high quality sponsored seed servers. This is basically a hybrid approach. The seeds would guarantee good services and the P2P part would reduce load on the seed servers where possible.

> It couldn't support live services where the video data is being generated near real time

Not Torrent, but there's community of P2P television streams, quite popular for big sports matches. And from what I hear great quality. This is a completely different P2P model, more like a multicast stream. Can not do the sort of on-demand streaming that Netflix would require.

Professor Aswath Damodaran gave his thoughts on this topic at Nordic Business Forum. (IIRC disclaimer here) He said that he sees some parallels to Steve Jobs, who once almost destroyed Apple and then later saved it - the difference being that on the second time he had Tim Cook. If Musk can find (or if he already has - I have no idea of Tesla management) his own "Tim Cook", then the future of Tesla looks much brighter.

For me this makes sense and I've seen it also elsewhere. The person with lots of energy and ideas may not be the best person to execute things in a corporate context.
