Charity never fails. If you resolve to love and accept people above all else, then the rest will take care of itself.

This is not easy to do some days, but it is failproof. Try it and see for yourself.

How to buy, sell and use Bitcoin freely and accessibly without KYC in 2019

On the one hand I agree with you, on the other its significantly harder to get broad buy in when you're 'taking away peoples holidays'. So I would say this is a good first step.
> Designers don't really want to do implementation either, why make them learn a bunch of things they don't care about?

That's first off an assumption, although I do see where you're coming from. The main thing is speeding up and removing the middle man - why separate design and implementation if you can do them at the same time? The tools are there.

People liked my idea and execution but few signed up. How do I solve this?
Our first reddit post had like 80 upvotes and more than 200 people visited our site but only 1 person signed up. We made an update post and we told our friends. While we got a few more users out of this, none of them are active users.

At first, we thought that the reason why people don't continue to use our app was because maybe the idea was good but the product was not. But when we asked our friends and our users for feedback they said that while 1 or 2 little things needed to be changed(which we did), the app was really nice. So, now we have no clue what to improve on while trying to look for product market fit.

Also people don’t even sign up to my app even though they say they are interested let alone use it on a daily basis.

We are out of ideas right now on how to grow. So how did you get your first users and how did you make them stay? What platforms can you use to get users? So far, we have only used reddit and asked our friends. None of which worked well.So any advice is appreciated.Thank you
Ways to increase financial participation and independence with Bitcoin
I don't follow, can you elaborate? People making more efficient use of a scarce resource doesn't suggest falling demand. How are steps 1-3 akin to that?

The price signal called "rent in SF" suggests that there is a scarcity, given that people who would like to have a 2 bed apartment to themselves can't get one. That's not weird. What's weird is that we've let the owners of homes vote on whether it should be illegal to build more homes. It makes sense - it increases the value of their asset. It's just not helpful to non-home-owners.

You wrote "The only possible source of instability in the whole housing/population cycle would be the government trying to prop up the house prices once the price correction start" - but the government, at the behest of local homeowners, IS propping up the price of houses by making it nearly impossible to build new ones (this has abated somewhat in the extremely recent past).

Do we give GM a vote on how many cars Ford is allowed to build?

Note that I write "home", not "house" intentionally - providing homes for many people in a small area usually means apartments, condos, etc. for the most part. Houses still exist, albeit as a luxury. It also means you don't price land used for sleeping cars cheaper than land used for sleeping people.

Python – using C and C++ libraries with ctypes
The notion that people are bad people (i.e "pigs") because they care predominantly about themselves, or don't care about democracy seems to come from you.

Have you considered the idea that other cultures and nations have different ideas about how much authority they delegate to their government, and that not everyone is troubled by the fact that the government runs cameras if it means a higher degree of safety?

I've spent a lot of time in China and other Asian countries for work related reasons primarily and it is absolutely true that there's a lot of personal drive, lower trust in civic society, and much more trust in the state to organise personal life.

What's truly a narrow-minded caricature of the world is the idea that every Chinese person is secretly striving for Anglo-protestant values of freedom and charity oppressed by their government or something.

Good point. I always hope that when one company doubles down on open offices, bizarro hiring practices, Agile, etc., that other companies will do the opposite and we developers can partition ourselves by how we want to work. But that never seems to happen.

This was posted on the 2017 thread here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14512368:

Pathfinder tessellates edges into microtriangles, computes signed trapezoidal areas in the fragment shader, and then accumulates those areas using a compute shader. I assume that this would make Pathfinder a "tessellating" algorithm in the language of this article as opposed to a "non-tessellating" one.

By contrast, I can't verify from source, but it appears that Slug does all the work in a fragment shader. If so, this would make its closest relative the Will Dobbie vector texture approach [1].

I considered the Dobbie technique but rejected it because it's very slow, asymptotically so even: it's O(height ∗ width ∗ number of curves), with a high constant factor as Newton-Raphson or de Casteljau subdivision (note that the quadratic formula is an alternative if all you care about is TrueType) has to be repeated over and over again for every pixel/subsample in the scene. I don't know how any non-tessellating algorithm can avoid this asymptotic problem, since if you defer all the work to the fragment shader then you have no choice but to run your expensive shader on a conservative cover area instead of only the areas that need to be expensive (i.e. edges, or curves if you're doing Loop Blinn). By contrast, traditional scanline rendering on the CPU is O(height ∗ number of curves), not counting the blitting, and forward differencing can make the work needed to be done for each curve on the scanline extremely cheap. For this reason, every non-tessellating algorithm I've seen is significantly outperformed by typical CPU renderers in practice.

This is not to say that non-tessellating text renderers such as what Slug seems to be are worthless: they may be useful to avoid costly CPU/GPU synchronization if the size of the text to render is not known by the CPU, for example if it depends on the result of vertex shading for a scene.

My further work on Pathfinder, should it pan out, ought to allow for more precise tessellation without significant performance cost, exploiting the fact that the shape of the traditional CPU scanline rendering algorithm can be adapted to generate triangulations on-the-fly through monotone polygon decomposition. My colleague Nical Silva's Lyon [2] shows how this idea can work, though I'm still working on adapting the technique to efficiently handle curves and high quality Levien-style antialiasing. This would eliminate the compute shader step, allowing Pathfinder to easily composite into 2D and 3D scenes as Slug can do without sacrificing performance. Bear in mind that this work is highly experimental and unfinished.

Argument maps are not “a tool for argumentation”; they’re not intended to be used in every context in which people argue. If they were, we all probably would have heard of them already at some point, if just as “that weird thing I see no reason to use.”

Argument maps are intended to either analyze or formalize the sides of an argument, in one of two contexts:

• contexts like civic policy, where a third party (e.g. an analyst working for a politician) wants to create an executive summary of a debate for consumption by a policy-maker, usually by watching/reading, and then “digesting”, a lot of arguments. (In this context, it also helps to be able to merge argument maps, efficiently unifying nodes that are semantically similar while keeping their dissimilar children.)

• In cases of formal debate, where the goal of the debaters is, as often as not, not for one side to dominate the other with rhetoric, but rather for everyone to “adversarially collaborate” to discover the complete shape of the debate—to map all the pros and cons—so that they can then go over the mapped argument and judge its merits for themselves, rather than working form the incomplete information they started with (usually just the information held by their “side.”)

Combine these two, and you get “barristers on both sides of a court, working for a judge as analysts to help them understand both sides of a case”—as in truth-discovering (rather than guilt-deciding) judicial systems like Scotland’s; or as in grand juries or coroner’s inquests.

(You can also use argument maps in your personal life, if you want to be really objective about deciding whether to believe something. But the contexts in which there are so many good arguments on both sides that you’d get a different answer than the one you’d get by just listening to the debate with an open mind, would be rare. For a cute analogy, they’re “asymptotes of discourse”: places where you’re dividing infinite evidence by infinite evidence, and so need something more powerful than regular mental arithmetic to get a solution.)

Yes. They might not look trendy anymore, but they are still heavily used in the industry. I constantly see in the industry use cases where sold or ES would be much better choice, but those options are simply ignored because they are rarely visible at the top of tech publications.
> It is all very well to impugn the rich, but if literally none of them have offered up a single cent there probably is a reason. Given the sums involved, it would be irresponsible to just heap money on someone who didn't have a plan or specific request for what the money was going to be for.

Nailed it. There are some very good points made in the article. Atlassian is a smart org and I suspect they're doing it well, but the article doesn't go into enough depth to let us look at it with a critical eye. There is a real danger that these policies will treat symptoms rather than causes.

I think that people often take an extremely puerile view as to how exclusion and bullying manifest. I once saw an HN commenter suggest that the solution was to ban profanity. Now, obviously you shouldn't be screaming "fuck you" at your colleagues, but removing certain means won't fundamentally change behaviour if the ends remain the same. It's important to think about the incentives you've set up for your workforce. Are they playing a zero sum game? Does an assist count for as many points as a goal?

> I’ve seen excellent managers get dinged in such a System because a few poor performers just mark the manager as difficult to work with to cover for their own underperformance.

Which raises another question - why are these discussions always centred around "brilliant jerks" and not just, you know, "jerks" ? Is there any actual evidence that being a jerk correlates with being a good engineer? Or that brilliant jerks are harder to fire than incompetent jerks?
His comment generalizes to other forms of transit. The point isn't that he/she's driving downtown, it's that it's not convenient enough to go on a whim but that's not a problem for his/her use pattern. The fact that he/she chose to use a car is immaterial to the point being made.

I'm from the UK so probably have limited understanding of the US housing regulations. But after reading your FAQ, I was left with the following questions. While I don't need to know the answers, they give an insight in to what went through my mind.

1. What happens if there are no tenants?

2. What laws/insurance/responsibility is now applicable as being the landlord?

3. How do you calculate the price of the house in a sale?

4. What happens if I go bankrupt?

5. What if I have a mortgage on my current property?

6. Who is technically the landlord, me or Rent the Backyard?

7. What about electricity, plumbing and sewage?

8. What about breakages to the property and general maintenance and upkeep?

9. Are they furnished or not, and if so, who furnishes it?

10. What are your fees to pay for the service and bills to make the difference between earnings and cost to the tennant?

It's more contentious than that. Journalists supposedly deal with "facts", but there's often considerable disagreement over facts or their interpretation. No matter your political persuasion, I'm sure there are "journalists" making a living on this, as per your definition, but who operate on the opposite end of the political spectrum from you and from whom you'd want very badly to strip that title of legitimacy.

That would only tell them it worked as intended? And maybe they should put the reveal even further in?
From my experience, yes. Lucene is a "production" state of art library and Solr/Elasticsearch is very used in many scenarios.

This expertise is very on demand.

My company personally migrated from ElasticSearch to https://vespa.ai/ and could not be happier. Faster and way easier to maintain a cluster. The "Application Packages" feature present in Vespa opened many opportunities to improve our product( Curiously we use Lucene inside our custom application for a "Search map" functionality, for something like that https://www.lexisnexis.com/en-us/products/lexis-advance/sear... ) . I highly recommend it!
Afaik almost everything runs Lucene under the hood, it's 20 years old, no one is going to build something as good any time soon. I suppose some company like Google have their own in house solution but otherwise it'll always be something built on top of Lucene.

I guess you don't see much demand because for a lot of use cases the basic setups are good enough.
It's simple, not necessarily easy.
Nah, I expect not. But we can probably all be Jim Butcher or Robert Jordan.

Having expectations that any person should be able to teach what they can do to the rest of the team in a timely manner is unreasonable.

Problems like "Make X take less than Y time to run" or "Reduce binary size to Z" or "Design a fault tolerant system accomplishing Q" etc are often impossible for most to solve since they simple don't have enough foundations and intuition to solve them. You'd have to spend years drilling fundamentals to get people to that level if they are even capable of gaining the same intuition, most developers never gain those skills no matter how many years of experience they get.

Disclaimer: My parents own a lot of art which I would like to keep when they pass.

Even outside of this specific situation where the art cannot be sold, it seems questionable to me to tax something that could likely have great personal value to someone but not great monetary or utility value to them.

It seems to me that a good solution would be to change the law so that property which is inherited is only taxed if it is sold within the first 10 years or something.

A person "who just wants development work done" may well prefer a single developer, but it is not sustainable in the long run. That one 10x dev needs vacation, family/friends, sick leave, and career progression at some point.
