Five mistakes you can fix now in your portfolio
In our case (Glaze), we are using a simple freemium model. The assets are free to use as long as the user attributes the illustrator and Glaze. If the user wants to buy a license so that they can use the image without crediting the artist/glaze, they can pay for that license (they also get a larger file size and the source file).

Unsplash is a bit different, all of the images are completely free. From my knowledge, this was originally used as a marketing funnel for their parent company, Crew. Crew has since been acquired and Unsplash has spun in to it's own entity. Nowadays my hunch is that they are monetizing through calls to their API (Unsplash is integrated into big players like Squarespace, Trello, Medium). Feel free to fact check as I am no expert when it comes to Unsplash's business model.
Interesting, so I guess ETW is using "normal" interrupts which have skid, and the CPU just having enough retire bandwidth to retire everything in one cycle.
You should keep in mind degrees of freedom of whatever you were playing with as well as complexity of the fitness function. Simple optimization problems have simple solutions. Physical, sustainable self replication is anything but simple. As far as I know humanity is not able to engineer anything that would be self replicating to the point where evolution could kick in. We have limited success at reverse-engineering nature but that's about it.

> Yes, maybe there can be various colonies of photosynthetic organisms competing over millionth of percents of efficiency for billions of years. That's what I call a dead end of evolution.

I would call that a plateau, because that was the state of Earth for about one or two billion years.

I think overall we agree - transition from single cell life to current level of complexity is not an easy one. We are significantly more likely to find single cell life in the universe, than anything that would resemble animals.

But you should also remember that Earth was not uniform in space and time, photosynthesis does not work equally well everywhere and overall conditions change a lot over millions of years. So even single cell life will be damn complex and dynamic on a scale of planet and evolution.
Your software is a godsend for me! I absolutely love it and attribute my focus at work to it. I bought the full version as soon as my trial ran out a few months back. It works especially well alongside Forest. Keep up the good work!
Certainly, long term development of employees is part of that third, and a significant one at that. But much of growth is subtle - it's about looking at projects and going, "Person A can get it done quickly but Person B would grow and appreciate the task, and Person C feels a bit of ownership over a part of it, and will grab due to an assertive personality if I let them sort it out themselves. So I'm going to have to massage a few egos here.) That doesn't take a lot of time but it is definitely emotional labor.

Emotional labor can be hard to quantify, and so outside of 1:1s and ad-hoc goal setting meetings and reviews, it's both important and hard to quantify in terms of time. Further, it's another task that can be a peer task - that is, it's something that technical leads can do for their teams and management can reassign the rest.

The original comment was talking about taking out most of management, so it's probably something they wouldn't consider as a key management priority that couldn't be done by developers.
I think the quality of performed management tasks is another dimension.
It mostly makes me sad that I can't come up with any good ideas, and when I do I find it's already a thing and they're charging so little I can't figure out how to even cover costs at twice the price.

So there's that.

The two-value syntax of the CSS Display property

Yeah, the magnifying glass is gone.

The cursor will stay in the same place if you move your finger down some so it's not obscuring the selection; on a multi-line input, the first line's selection area extends down a half an inch or so, with all the lower lines displaced by a similar amount.

It's not too bad when you get used to it though I still miss the glass when I'm using my phone or my smaller iPad.

I wonder if it can improve the setup flow for devices like wireless speakers where there's a whole guided process for powering it on, pairing it, connecting to its wifi network, changing settings, etc.
Declarative Programming with Go
Usually, it is for syncing products or orders. If the API allows me to query by page number, I can execute all the pages in parallel and complete the job in seconds. If it is paginated by cursor, I have to do it one by one serially which might take minutes.

Since I run this on serverless compute which has timeout (or browser timeout if user is waiting on it), splitting these sync jobs is needlessly complicated.
> we should advocate that users have the right to delegate data-access through APIs to third-parties

From my PoV, for my purposes, as a technically minded user I might agree.

But thinking about the numpty-on-the-street, this could be a privacy nightmare with people being easily conned into allowing a random application full unrestricted access to slurp their data. This can happen already, of course, but the provider could detect a remote API scraper and try to block it, and a user-local malware scanner can be trained spot a rogue browser extension that scrapes the UI, but if API access like that is mandated they'll have to provide the access and won't be able to tell the difference between that which the user requested and that which the user was conned into requesting.
Sounds great ;) let me know if you have any question.

They'll be helpful until your whole organization gets shut down for "abuse". What kind of abuse? They won't tell you. No human will talk to you.

Microsoft does the exact same thing with O365. Even knowing people at Microsoft and getting tickets internally escalated and re-escalated, it took me far too long to get things unlocked, and I never got an answer on what caused it. A week later, I was locked out again. Same routine. Finally got back in, and a bunch of music that I had legally purchased from 7digital and stored in OneDrive was mysteriously missing. During the whole process, as soon as anyone you talk to sees the state of your account, they'll refuse to continue talking. You have to fill out a generic form, and you don't receive a response. Either your account gets unlocked an indefinite amount of time later, or it doesn't.

All the major cloud providers seem to operate that way.

That's the one time cost for purchase outside of contract... For N95. Not for iPhone, at least not for normal people.

The reality in 2008 is that Apple forbid selling iPhone without contract, with contract requiring special extra Apple tax (we already had "unlimited data" for years by then). So you were paying whatever the telco asked you for the phone, then paid extra to Apple as long as you used the "iPhone tariff" (and you couldn't get it otherwise other than ebay).

Since at least in Poland majority bought the phone as part of the contract, the prices were wildly different. I can't find N95, but business oriented E51 cost me under $70. Without significant impact on monthly fees on the contract. And without paying Apple tax on my phone bill.

BTW, regarding visual voicemail... Little known thing about iOS 1-2 is that the network stack was broken and it wasn't capable of redirecting to voicemail like every other phone. Required special buggy software to get any voicemail for people running iPhones, and at least at Era GSM (present day T-Mobile Poland) it took 3 months from providing iPhone on sales and any voicemail working?

Ask HN: Never been fired, what should I know before I fire someone?
I personally have never been fired or laid off. I'm now in a position to recommend a course of action for an employee with performance problems. In the future, I will likely be left to make such decisions entirely on my own.

On the practical side, it seems pretty cut and dry. I should communicate with the person about performance problems (and expected changes) clearly and repeatedly. If things don't improve in a reasonable amount of time, having the person around isn't helping the business. Time to end it.

However, I feel like I would be devastated to lose a job in this way, so I feel sympathy. I know change is hard and takes time. I also know that letting someone go can affect morale on the team. Is it better to just pay the cost and keep the person around?

How do you decide when it's time to let someone go?
I'd say he's just eccentric, and takes a bit of getting used to in terms of style. also, IIRC, this interview got him some REALLY big ones (including Jay-Z, I think) because Pharrell told everyone he knew to that they had to talk with Nardwuar.

At the very least in terms of doing proper research on a subject, I think there's no one better.
Thanks for the example video!

I note that the example skipped one crucial step, to scan for available devices. Scanning and enumerating available devices, and selecting a device, is a step where potentially sensitive information is exposed.

Will scanning for and getting a list of all available devices be something that a websites can do through the api? Or will the api delegate scanning to the browser, much like the file selector api, where the browser is only exposes the final user selection, the selected file, rather than letting the webapp have access to the entire file system? I.e in this case a list of all available bluetooth devices?
It certainly is reductionist!

General relativity is also 100 years old, no violation etc. Still, discovery of gravitational wave was very welcome, because test of general relativity in strong force regime was not very good.

Quantum computing is analogous: test of quantum mechanics in "strong computational regime" is scant. You seem knowledgeable, but your comments on current claim of quantum supremacy is akin to, say, when claim of discovery of gravitational wave was made and then disputed, replying, "gravitational wave will be discovered, this is a fact assuming general relativity is correct, general relativity is 100 years old, no physicists doubt the theory" etc. All true, but rather pointless.

Your link agrees with me. Read Tom's last paragraph. There was no traffic in front of me. The pedestrians were safely off the road because I honked and flashed. In the case that the pedestrians had kept going, I'd have done things differently. But it doesn't matter; because the point isn't whether braking or not braking was the correct decision.

The point is that by looking in the rear view mirror I became aware that a decision needed to be made.

No it’s not. You didn’t write it the first time, and grow from writing it the first time. Writing and shipping something in a new programming language is a fantastic way to learn both. This has only become contentious as people try to come up for a reason why rewriting things in Rust is bad, when really it is about as benign as trends go. I never heard the same complaints about rewriting things in Go (another language I love, btw) and even JS had less naysayers somehow.

You may question the usefulness of having “x but in Rust” and that is fair. However, people keep answering the reasons why you might do something like this and yet like amnesia the same bad opinions come out again next time.

There are refuges from poor countries that would love to live in my parent's basement and take care of them. They would think it is great - a kitchen of their own (not all houses have this, it happens my parent's house does), bathroom with a tub, a private bedroom, plus a living room that is larger than the mud hut they lived in back home. Of course they will discover in winter that they won't be going outside so that much space is small, but there is also the rest of the house that is semi-available. Of course everybody has a different house and so situations are different. However if you are reading this odds are you have (or could afford if you wanted) a house large enough to have spare space for servants.

Legally though you can't do it. You can't import such people easily. Even if you could, you have to pay them a wage that is affordable despite also providing room and board. I'm not sure this is a bad thing overall, but even though for the world's poorest just room and board, and $1/day would be a lifestyle improvement.
looks like you are arguing what "sparingly" means in that context because the rest of the sentence is totally valid.
Stack and Heap allocation in C serve different purposes and there's really no rule of thumb to choose one and there's not even one case more frequent than the other.
Allocate objects in the stack, it's faster. Unless you need a reference in a function in another context. Or it's too big. Or you're going going to share it between threads. Or whatever.
I've worked on maintaining systems like that. IME, it's classic technical debt: You can get up and running much more quickly and cheaply, but in the long run it can become quite expensive. So, like any good technical debt, it's fine, even desirable, in the short run, but less fine if you end up carrying it indefinitely.

Fortunately, Kafka's already thought about this, so, when the time comes, it should be pretty easy to migrate to an architecture where you're no longer using it as your long-term source of truth.
That's basically like saying you prefer to live under a totalitarian regime than a democracy because: security. Humans gladly trade their freedom for security as your comment implies, you are comfortable with that.

The web is, or at least was in part, a democracy. Apple is clearly a dictatorship.

Trust doesn't really come into it. You trust your user data to 3rd parties every single day using apps that very publicly compromise you like FB, Google etc. So to say that you trust your relationship with Apple doesn't mean squat. Sure Apple is good at preventing people from breaking into your iPhones, but it's not good at stopping Facebook from selling your data to 3rd parties which you talk about. Your security is already compromised.

In the days even before the web we had many programs from independent 3rd parties that have now turned into household names today.

I refuse to believe that Apple's incredibly convoluted App store is the way forward. I ultimately believe Apple will fail here and have to make major changes, indeed I hope it does.

> What most activists are trying to do is move towards fewer people having access to your data

It seems to me like there are two important issues currently. There's access to data, but there's also how influence works and who controls that. Right now, social media companies decide what rises to the top of your feed.

The current situation is that if you want to be part of the Facebook community (for lack of a better word), you need to let Facebook decide how you see that data. I could see an argument that some kind of federated system might allow different lenses where you could still communicate in a social media way but different things could rise to the top.

Anyway, the point is these two concerns seem to be at odds with each other. If you don't want one party to have the power they get from being the only party in charge of processing the data, then you need multiple parties to have access to the data.
"I also know that letting someone go can affect morale on the team."

First time I fired someone the first reaction I got from a team member was "what took you so long". So firing someone doesn't always have a negative impact on other team members.
You are not debating the same thing. Nobody is suggesting that riding without a helmet is as safe as riding without.

The lack of helmet laws makes me safer on my bike regardless of whether I wear a helmet or not because it means fewer people are driving cars. Cars are far more likely to injure/ kill me than a solo crash, adding barriers to getting people to adopt bikes makes cycling more dangerous. The more people on bikes, the more cars expect people on bikes, better bike infrastructure, and it makes people in cars more alert to the presence of cyclists.

We have a fairly popular bike-share program here. People can poke a few buttons on their phone and get access to a bike instantly. With a helmet law, that's not the case, they have to be prepared in advance. The presence and popularity of that bike share makes me safer. Removing several hundred motorists from the road every day in our city has a far bigger impact on cyclist safety than the presence/ absence of a helmet.
This is a goofy response.

> bicycles cause far less damage... to the roads used by motorists

This only holds true as long as bicycles are a small amount of traffic added on. It's like the SMS bands with telcos: a small bit of auxiliary slack being used for something else. If bicycles become a large part of the traffic, there will still be an impact. Even if the bikes don't tear the roads up much, elements and natural wear make up a fair part of that. If bikes take half the road rather than the break-down lane, they will need to start paying for it (even if not necessarily the same amount, dollar-for-dollar.)

This argument is also relevant to electric cars. They tear up the roads, but are not taxed like normal cars are. Registration fees are also still relevant; at least some of that goes to administering a road network, which has to be done for cars or bikes.

> Can you find even one example of a poorly-maintained bicycle causing someone other than the rider's death/injury?

This is a silly standard to set, given present conditions. The people who use bicycles today are enthusiasts, fairly well-trained, and very likely to take care of equipment. If, however, it becomes commoditized, this will doubtless change. Cars didn't need much regulation at first, either; that changed at scale.

> Anyway, I don't even suspect that you read the article. Instead you just came in here to rant about how anti-cycling you are, which is not a great look, but suit yourself.

This is a poor attempt to dismiss someone's arguments out-of-hand. The point that he pays for certain amenities (even if they are subsidized more than they ought to be) is still valid.

I did read the article, and it still leaves the biggest issue un-answered. Namely, _"micro-mobility", as it is therein-termed, only works on a micro scale_. Many cities aren't built this way, and it is only practical if you live in a tiny urban bubble. I've lived places where I drove forty-five miles each way for a commute. Why did I put up with this? Because I didn't want to live in the expensive, yuppie parts of town. For all that money, I'd have gotten a small apartment, built no land equity, and had very little space. I don't like it much in cities for this reason: everything is small, little green space, trash, crime, etc. The other option is the hippie neighborhood with seven-dollar-a-cup coffee shops on every corner; when those pop up, people instead complain gentrification is pricing out the poor.

The reason I don't like the whole bike thing is because it's emblematic of a culture and a vision I don't like: everyone living densely-packed into the stereotypical SF or Seattle city. This isn't often argued, but it's part of the larger "culture war." I know on which side most people on HN fall, but most people on the other side like their culture the way it is. Telling them to just import the dutch bike culture isn't a good solution, and will work just about as well as any other time people have told another group to just import their culture.
