I’ve had experience as a larger seller. I think some of these tactics come down to corporate ladder climbing.

Being in a category Amazon has tried to infiltrate, we’ve heard the “either join us or...” The head of the project does everything they can to attract leaders in the space to share their knowledge on how we’ve made it work for so long. Then if that seller doesn’t jump on board, it’s a well you’ll be sorry in the end. If their product doesn’t start to compete within the first few months, that is when you see desperation sink in from the lead of the project.

That’s when you’ll start seeing Amazon brands taking over the front page, when they haven’t done the ground work to get there. Then you’ll see more Amazon brands showing up on the front page, with the help of product pages and ads that break their own terms of service. Then sellers may start seeing more frequent issues with their product in that category. And then if you’re really unlucky, Amazon vendor will say either bring your product to vendor or don’t sell on the platform at all.

I get it’s their playground, and it’s their rules, but sometimes you just end up throwing up your hands and asking if it’s all really worth it
On individual sales including all fees, 20-25%. I currently owe the IRS roughly 20k or so from 2015, and I just started a new job at $16/hr. Guess how well that's working out for me.
Note that this is the “raw” log — to put it in context and make sense of the abbreviations, you need to read the actual paper named The Errors of TeX (1989, also reprinted in the book Literate Programming). The paper has DOI 10.1002/spe.4380190702 and Google search finds a copy here: https://yurichev.com/mirrors/knuth1989.pdf

At minimum, the abbreviations are also given in https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb10-4/tb26knut.pdf but the paper is much more. (Rehashing my comment from earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18177962)

Incidentally, some archives of the old TeX source code are available online... it might be an interesting project to combine the two, but I'm not finding the time to do it. If anyone is interested in helping / doing it, let me know. :-)
Imagine the sphere’s surface is divided into one million little rectangles. Their total area is meant to approximate the surface area of the sphere. If each one of those were projected onto the cylinder, and we showed that each of those projected rectangles has the same area and that they don’t overlap, then the total area of all million of the projected rectangles would be there same as those on the sphere. Therefore, the cylinder has the same area, since it is comprised of all those projected rectangles.

Can a software defense mechanism be implemented; say a checkbit per 7 bits that emulate ecc?

Sure, that would reduce the total ram by 1/8 ... But that would be a design choice to implement. Is ECC ram only 12.5% more expensive than non-ECC? If its higher, it may indeed be more advantageous to use non-ECC -if- a software compensation can be implemented.
The difference is programmatic cad can have composable, repeatable, and automatable operations.

What if you have a thousand corners to fillet, in some kind of gradient, so each is a little different than the last? You won't be clicking and menu-ing your way out of that.

What if you want to do transforms on models as part of a process, like read a pile of models and do something to each? Programmatic. And then you can pass that process to another transform doing something else.

etc.

In a programmatic cad system, it's just a few lines of code.

You could make this exact same framework with rust as the backend instead of C++. I have made a proof of concept MVVM app in rust for iOS and Android.

Instead of binding view models and state you bind the entire platform with bindings for every widget and control. Its not too much work but it is a lot of boring code to write and maintain.

In particular, this attitude seems to be prevalantly American. Being an atheist carries less of a stigma outside the US, and the correlation between scientific understanding and a tendency to irreligious beliefs is taken for granted.

How blockchain will disrupt the AI industry (in-depth overview)
My (non researched) opinion on this one is that most westerners find cars useful, hence car free development risks creating a district populated only by people who can't afford cars. Segregating people in that way that is going to cause other problems, it happened before in the uk when planners decided it was a great idea to knock down aging buildings and replace with tower blocks of cheap flats.

That said I do think we need to challenge our assumptions about the role cars play in society. It is assumed that highways are for cars primarily and this needs to be reined in somewhat.

Car free development might work in places where there is already a sizable wealthy demographic choosing to live car free e.g. London.

As to whole cities going car free, are there any? Not something I've looked into, would be interested to know.

I have to imagine that at some point in life, we have to take responsibility for our actions. That is, regardless of how much the cigarette or liquor companies market to me, I’m not going to allow myself to become addicted to their products. I drink. I very infrequently smoke a tobacco product. I don’t consume them in excess because I know it is bad for me.

I suspect that we are going to see this type of movement more and more. It’s more signaling. It says, I don’t need to have social media to have a fulfilling life. My life is fulfilling. See pictures of me in [popular vacation spot]. See pictures of me having casual fun. But again, it’s not solving the true problem. If you needed the affirmation from random strangers, that won’t change.
> The browsers struggled with this for years.

Arguably, they still do.

function f() {
var some = [];
while(some.length < 1e6) {
some.push(some.length);
}
function g() { some; }
return function() {};
}

var a = [];
var interval = setInterval(function() {
var len = a.push(f());
if(len >= 500) {
clearInterval(interval);
}
}, 10);

uses a very large amount of memory in all browsers.

function f() {
var some = [];
while(some.length < 1e6) {
some.push(some.length);
}
function g() { some; }
}

var a = [];
var interval = setInterval(function() {
var len = a.push(f());
if(len >= 500) {
clearInterval(interval);
}
}, 10);

uses very little.

A Patent on Using Mathematical Proofs
It's interesting that you bring up the Middle East. Is that from experiences as a foreigner or a native?
I'm not sure how much reading that book would help in terms of creating a sustainable business model that does not require significant daily work from the founder and also allows you to scale in a reasonably way.

It does help with the operations side of running a business and does give you insight on how some other CEOs might run certain parts of the company (such as marketing, hiring and finding product market fit.)

I've been looking at similar business models outside of software development (such as law firms.) to get a better idea on how this business model could scale.

Long term tho, I do not plan to scale the consulting side of the business, but hope to phase it out since I believe products are probably a better way to scale a business.

I don't think consulting is entirely a bad thing for us tho, I still strongly believe it gives you insights into other companies and allows you to see other companies mistakes every day and that's super useful.

Good luck to you.

Middle east? Are you out of your mind? Have you been in middle east?

I am from middle east and came to Vancouver 5 months ago and I literally want to go back from this hell hole and although grad school does not pay that much, but because I work a lot I get paid alot by my supervisor too, so I am in good financial situation here. (And I’ve been in some middle east and European countries and have great friends from all of those countries. So it is not like I dont know how to talk to people.)

People are not approachable. Long story short, you can search about Seattle freeze. People literally come to bars and night clubs in groups, and leave with their groups. All of my international friends are under extreme extreme pressure from loneliness. Although they don’t have financial problems, but some of them leaving. I am considering to applying to east coast and unfinishing my degree here.

In Middle East you are definitely not alone. You definitely do not make as much as developed nation. But you are not definitely alone. People are generally way more nicer, easy going. Literally yasterday I saw someguy passed out in Skytrain and there was 40,50 people there. You know what they did? literally nothing. At the end I was the one calling 911. (Not that I am a great person or something, i just call, but it was unbelievable how in western society people live their life.)

> I think that starting with a large env like WASM and trying to plug the gaps is a sisyphean task

What makes WASM a large env? It was specifically designed to be more tractable to analyse than machine code, so it's already more restricted.
A general software defense mechanism would probably have to either intercept all memory accesses or insert code after each memory access.

In either case, extra memory accesses would be needed since checksums need to be loaded from memory. This would also make cache misses more frequent, since checksum data would evict non-checksum data from cache constantly. This would have a huge performance impact - most software contains a LOT of memory accesses.

However, it might be feasible to mitigate this in specific cases by having custom code in software that needs to be secure.
> in general the authors can be trusted not to be doing anything nefarious to begin with

It's a dream. Kept alive by a very diligent community, but let's not kid ourselves that it's a very strong assumption.

> In which case you're still pretty screwed, because it inherently needs access to your documents

Access to the specific document you presently want to edit (say through an OS-provided file select dialog or equivalent cli) is much different than unfettered access to all of your files.

> The motivations behind the rise in centralization are authoritarian and pecuniary rather than any legitimate security concern

People do choose say Apple products precisely because of the curated Disneyland App store. Centralizers certainly have their selfish motives, but people are driven into their arms looking for safety. Browsers are used for software distribution precisely because they're a sandbox - there's much less fear of the unknown than running a random exe.
Sure - if you mean by “real OS” a server OS.
I too have found the issue of scaling consulting to be insurmountable, but there are others who have succeeded.
One key factor would be to take someone, no matter how junior and start charging for him at least the normal if not senior rate straight away - that way this is profitable from day 1.
I was never brazen enough to do it and training people off project for free doesn't generally happen anywhere else so it's a huge disadvantage - start charging from day 1 (or don't hire if you can't).
I've been thinking a lot about this lately. We have under-appreciated the costs of hyper-connectivity.

See for example this paper: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=832627

By modeling communication in the context of problem solving and running simulations with that model, the authors show that less efficient communication can have better long-term results.

I'm afraid that the speed, ease, and low cost of communication is increasingly encouraging us to look outwards instead of inwards when faced with problems to solve. Which means humanity will tend to quickly converge on the first "solution" instead of spending more time searching the solution space for better solutions. This really bothers me, and I don't know what we can do about it (or if we should do anything about it).
>City created dining halls in every neighborhood within a 10 minute walk where one pays a reasonable rate to eat there.

Why would the city do this? It sounds like you're describing the Golden Corral. In any case, if you can demonstrate that people will regularly show up to an open-plan cafeteria to socialize then let's forget about changing local government (which is corrupt and inefficient) and start this restaurant ourselves.

Let's get it started, and initial thoughts, questions, or suggestions can be in Github issues for now.

.img -> disk image, open with built-in tools (Disk Copy), copy to hard drive, then unmount it

.bin -> MacBinary, uncompressed binary format containing one file, use MacBinary or Stuffit

.hqx -> BinHex, uncompressed ASCII format containing one file, use BinHex or Stuffit

.sit -> compressed Stuffit archive, use Stuffit

.sea -> self-extracting archive, must be wrapped (.bin or .hqx is common), run it as a program

.cpt -> compressed Compact Pro archive, use Compact Pro or Stuffit

You can drag a file onto the Stuffit application icon and it will open in Stuffit. This is a feature I sorely miss when I am using Windows or Linux.
I only read about BeOS in exuberant PC World articles in the early '00s, but I got the impression it was really, really good–pre-emptive multi-tasking and all. Now this blog post says that Haiku has device servers. That sounds like the 'fast flyweight delegation' technique described here: https://blog.acolyer.org/2017/12/04/ffwd-delegation-is-much-... ... and also used by the Erlang VM.
Citus is a great product, but it's still fundamentally hamstrung by the foundations of the underlying database.

CockroachDB gives you proper data replication and high-availability at a high density. Postgres doesnt, and requires an entirely separate cluster with fragile replication and manual cutover.
You may also need to open the files from Stuffit, rather than just double-clicking, as they may have lost their type and creator codes.

You should also get Disk Copy to mount disk images.
The way I see it, centralization has the more favorable best case scenario while decentralization has the most favorable worst case scenario.

Centralization allows for extreme optimization, but decentralization allows a system to keep on chugging along no matter what the conditions (within reason)
> I don't understand why there has to be this dichotomy, you're either active on social media and miserable or off of them and happy.

Because this is propaganda, not news. What is newsworthy about this post? Nothing. It's just another of a neverending anti-facebook propaganda hit piece by the propagandists. And propaganda isn't about nuance or objectivity. It's about extremes.

People quit cnbc, switch from coke to pepsi ( or vice versa ), switch from galaxy to iphone ( or vice versa ), etc and it makes them happy. Is that news? CNBC could do the exact same article about itself since there are plenty of people who stopped watching it for the better. Just like there are people who watch it and are happier. And most people just watch it because it's there. But why would it spread propaganda against itself?

Tomorrow we'll see the same anti-facebook propaganda. Just like we have gotten one every single day for months now. It's getting to be obnoxious.
+1 for xamarin.

One question though for app developers who are experienced in this field- does anybody know the relative running time of native vs managed code on android? Does it matter at all for ux-heavy code? How does the startup time look?
I don't see that at all. Rather, each OS has its benefits, and if the person who designs a toolkit doesn't account for them, you wind up with something middling and foreign that takes advantage of nothing.

For able users, that can come down to minor irritations. For users with special accessibility requirements, that's downright unacceptable.

If my listing of all the features of macOS might have come off as haughty, it's simply because I'm one of the ones who has special accessibility requirements, and the way macOS does things suits me well. Apps that don't use Cocoa, therefore, can really screw me over.
Sorry to hear that. I spend a lot of time in the backcountry and would rather not deal with your visual pollution -- a billboard of your presence. Why not just do the rock stacking in your own back yard where it will (apparently) be appreciated?

I'll never shame someone for using the wrong fork or forgetting to take off their shoes or something - but if you call someone out for some petty cultural misunderstanding in front of me, I'll forever remember you as a bully.

It's cheap but there's still a fee. There's a fee on anything around here. I'm a European and I'm really bummed by how lonely and transactional our cities in California are. Want to do something social? 99% is going to be revolving around food because restaurants are the only option. The Mayor of Union city recently denied the license to a bar downtown because "we don't want that type of entertainment around here", "that type" meaning ANY entertainment that's not 30-50 minutes sitting in a restaurant then maybe movies, then go the hell back home because there's nothing to do in the East Bay.
