I just went through this transition myself. For the past year or so I had been compiling technical content on GitHub and writing long-form content (updates on my year long vacation) for family and friends on a Facebook Page.

Now a couple weeks ago I started putting all of that content into my own website and it feels great! Part technical challenge of getting my CMS set up and customized, and part a feeling that this is more "right" than putting stuff in walked gardens.

One delicious irony is that I had a blog in college and had Facebook set up to automatically pull those posts into Notes using the RSS feed. Then at some point I didn't care about that server anymore and did not preserve the blog. So to fill in my old content I actually had to source that from the tool that I have sort of judged as inferior.

So it is a real commitment to run your own site, on a decades timescale I would say. Or pay $5-10/month to WordPress.com (etc.) long-term, or trust WordPress free tier (etc.) to be around long-term.
When all one has is a smartphone, everything starts looking like something that can be integrated with said smartphone.

And as is typical one ends up with a half-assed solution that will stop working in 2 years when Apple/Google change some API or the app isn't maintained any more.

No matter how awesome it seems at launch and how good the quality, anything relying on smartphones is basically disposable.

I agree emoji add ~0 meaning. But the added encouragement helps me

I got DragonFlyBSD support into Zig this week. The emoji tell me that people care (Edit: thanks to them)

But HN, dunno...

Maybe aswell as points, being able to thumb-up posts could be another way to encourage people to have constructive and positive interaction?
You can track complexity in Turing complete languages, just as you can track effects; neither should bother you more than the other. While doing either precisely amounts to deciding halting, the way it is done in programming languages does not (when we track effects the type system does not tell us an effect will occur, only that it may; similarly for complexity -- we track the worst-case complexity of a given term, which, for Turing complete languages, can be infinite for some terms, but certainly not all).
As someone who naturally wakes up at the same (relative) time regardless, DST/ST shifts are a major pain for me, and creates a whole month of totally unnecessary stress and readjustment (it's actually a bit worse than transatlantic trips for me, since the eight-hour shift I usually undergo in those is something I'm more aware of is somehow easier to deal with).

(edit: grammar - see? we just shifted clocks and my brain still hasn't caught up)
Did you see the shape of that thing? It obviously hides a well grounded summoning grid.
Rather than the boring af repetitive talk about the fake Gatwick Drone. Or all the fake sightings.

Or the one sub par test of a drone hitting a plane in a facility.

How about we talk about how we let the government take over so much of our world.

We are moving to 3D, f the government. How do they own it all?

How can we not even use toys in 99% of our world.

It's a disgrace.

The data we are collecting from drones around the world is amazing. They lets us crawl back some of what governments have taken away. Good on people filming fires, they are possibly contributing more than these grounded helicopters. Helicopters need to learn how to share the space.

Samsung knows which commercials Samsung TV owners did and didn't see, and uses that knowledge to target ads on TV and non-TV devices. Companies can say "Show my ad/commercial to everyone who didn't see my TV commercial."

Here's how the site puts it:

> How It Works

> Samsung Smart TVs have built-in Automated Content Recognition (ACR) technology that can understand viewing behavior and usage including programs, movies, ads, gaming content and OTT apps in real-time. It’s a simple 3-step process:

> 1. Let us know the brand and title of the commercial spot you would like to target for your TV Ad Retargeting campaign.

> 2. The selected commercial is recognized and instantly matched with our ACR data.

> 3. Retargeting campaign is activated for the selected TV commercial based on pre-aligned campaign parameters.

I hand write notes. I have 4 different notebooks, one is a calendar based. The other 3 are subject based, as I have 3 completely different projects.

The calendar one I primarily use for 'management type meetings'.

For meetings (not the management ones) I usually start a new page, I write the date and topic.

When I write notes I but a mark in front to indicate what action is needed. A box [ ] means it is something I need to do. i.e. share with my people when the next office party is. I fill in the box with a check if done, X if OBE (Overcome by events), F for forwarded (written someone else). Often I will put a comment to my resolution.

At the end of the week, I go through the last week of pages and fill in on the Sunday my new 'to do' list

Those parts are likely to survive stepped replacement, or rather both the replacement and original adjust to get to the original state.

But making QR code’s readable by users doesn’t protect against that. Whatever the QR code looks like, you have to trust the scanner. It could open “evil.com” every tenth time you use it, roll a die to determine whether to do so, contact its host to ask ”user u scanned QR code q. What URL shall I open?”, run a quick auction for the URL to send the user to, etc.

What _does_ help is just printing the URL in text, and requiring the user to type it in their browser’s address bar (assuming they trust their browser)

Gotcha. Though in this day and age having our time based on the sun is a bit of an anachronism, as we work under artificial lighting and not in a field. And in any case Sunrise is not good enough, as some Nordic countries don't have any sunrise at all during winter.

I've read this story about where part of Renaissance Technologies's alpha is coming from: buying and selling individual financial instruments entails paying taxes on the gains of each trade. It's more lucrative to buy and hold a well-performing fund. So allegedly RT advises such a fund what to buy and sell and simply holds it - such that it would only pay taxes once it sells. I'm not working in finance and can't make an informed comment but if true, tax optimisation would be a big part of the success.

It’s still all dependent on how good the authors physiological model is. If their model of hand movements is incorrect, then any generated results will be incorrect, too. For instance: the author talks about developing a model of travel distance for various keys. Fine, but (a) it’s based on their own hands, so it might not be a good fit for others, and (b) the distances are all from resting hand position, which means that as your fingerS move over the course of typing a word, those distances should adjust as well. Does the author account for this? I don’t think so, but it’s not clear.

I’m the guy that submitted this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21423263 which might be what this post is in response to.

I have a paid newsletter, and I’ve started a community / education site dedicated to the model, as I couldn’t find one when creating my own.

Let me just say this... people are going to get rich off of paid newsletters, full stop.

But like anything else, it’s a many will play, few will win game.

There are examples of newsletters that have done well, and many examples of newsletters that have not.

In my opinion, given the choice between creating a blog and starting a paid newsletter, the choice is a pretty simple one.

Blogging is heavily saturated.

Google is downright hostile towards new, small publishers.

CPM rates are looking downright anemic.

The legal requirements behind affiliate offers are becoming complex, and sometimes confusing to understand.

On the newsletter side you have enhanced discovery, instant monetization with rates chosen by you, an implied audience that is “in theory” additive by nature, not just hit and bounce. Yes, you’ll have churn, etc. but that is how I am viewing the value prop.

I took a look at your link and I don’t understand why you feel it’s “really risky”. To me (a German), it seems like any other playground with quite common elements. Sure, the climbing web (if that’s what it’s called) is high, but this is a structure where kids will not even get that high if they are not skilled.

All the images and videos just looked so American to me. A guy pulling kids in wagons with his motor vehicle, where I’m just asking myself: Why? And of course, almost all the adults and a fair amount of the kids are overweight …

I’m not trying to bash America, but this did confirm quite some stereotypes of mine.
Between Madrid and Budapest, definitely not. Spain still mostly has the siesta - everything closes for a few hours in the middle of the day, and plenty use it to have a snooze. This possibly mitigates the western edge of CET issue.

I live in Eastern Portugal, where there’s no siesta, but then again we’re on GMT here, which is better aligned to the sidereal day.
Here's a video of what it looks like on my end https://streamable.com/rdppj (ff, incognito, can't remember if I ever checked it out in Chrome). The status bar shows the updated link as I right or left click on it. I then copy paste the new URL to show it leads to the Youtube link.

I don't care. Usually URLs are long and don't appear in their entirety. They are also links, so it's hard (or almost impossible) to copy them using a computer and impossible to copy them using a mobile.

Speed of implementation is similar in my experience between Go and a dynamic language such as Python. However, Go is the best for "it will work if compiler will build it" guarantee. A Go process will easily use the resources (CPU, etc) available in a much nicer way - concurrency is one of the "batteries included". Python's concurrency story - well. A Go process is self contained and easy to install. A Python process requires packaging and deploying lots of external things.
You only test what you in principle are prepared to field and this is in production, not some Google internal test.
How damaging is Neumann’s excess, actually?

The evidence and vibes in the article demonstrate a lot of greed, but not a ton of dominance. In comparison, Travis Kalanick greyballed the government, vilified competitors, and literally brewed a culture of stepping on toes. It seems Neumann wanted to start a religion, but not necessarily one centered on dominance. Neumann was evidently pretty mean to his chief of staff, but this article makes him look like an delusional angel (in many metrics) compared to TK.

I personally find Neumann’s excess revolting, but it appears that the collapse of WeWork will mainly impact investor capital (primarily Softbank) versus the livelihoods and civil rights of tens of thousands of people. Or perhaps there’s more to the story?
> “I actually think he’s probably one of the greatest entrepreneurs I’ve ever met,” Marc Benioff, the co-chief executive of Salesforce, told Business Insider on Oct. 15. “He’s an incredible evangelist. He’s an incredible visionary. He’s hired a lot of amazing people. He’s built an amazing brand, right?” Mr. Benioff did allow: “Unfortunately, there were some things, obviously, in the company that you probably would have preferred to change if he could do it all over again.”

He's smitten the Salesforce CEO. Qualifies as failing up, I guess?
And don't recommend shit I've already watched or rejected (Netflix, Amazon).

It's maddening.

I was briefly on the recommendations team of a fashion retailer.

Embarrassingly, it took me way too long to figure out the whole exercise is a sham. There's just so much wishful thinking and hectares of crap data to sift thru. And after chewing thru layer after layer of data and algos, it's somewhat hard to accept there's nothing there. Fool's gold.

The org kinda had a sense that something wasn't working, without really knowing how or why. So the pointed haired bosses were doing the kabuki dance from "relevant" to "personalized" results.

Meanwhile, I remain desperate to have a recommender tell me which shirt to buy. I hate shopping. (Yes, I've both studied and tried StitchFix and others.)
There's been a substantial shift recently, in cloud deployment anyway, where the work entails stitching together many FOSS tools. I think this started as a concept around 2000 with the idea of LAMP stacks and kept going My last several jobs, and everyone around me, have amounted to duct tape.

In this kind of situation, there's plenty of room--sometimes company sanctioned even--to spend time improving the tools and contributing the changes back. Win-win-win for everyone.

So not explicitly FOSS jobs, but it's everywhere already.
My bullshit detector is at 3.6

Go has a garbage collector (i.e memory safety) & race detection tooling built in. https://golang.org/doc/articles/race_detector.html

Even if a race condition bug does sneak in, it won't be as catastrophic as C/C++.

Writing concurrent code is hard in any language. There's no magic bullet & Go or Rust are not immune to concurrency bugs. If anything, tools like the race detector should always come built in and every dev working on concurrent code should use one.
It wasn't that "it didn't hurt me." It was that it didn't hurt _anyone_! I didn't like Theranos because it hurt people even though it didn't hurt me.

Hey, thanks for the recommendations. Glad to see a fellow Nepali in HN :).
I think the UK is leaning towards summer time all year. People seem to greatly prefer going home in the light than waking up in it. [Plus it'll keep us more in sync with Europe, assuming they stick on standard time]
You’re missing the point. Those clients you visited had old offices because they acted rationally and paid an appropriate amount for them (and didn’t receive subsidies). You were paying under market for a cool, new place. I bet you and those others with similar mindsets would be priced out if WeWork tried making a profit.
I think the majority of people do aim for "sane, trustworthy, competent". It's just that there are a certain number of sociopaths in any population that are very interested in being the big boss.
I just tried it on my phone and for some reason, links are wrapped except when I select "desktop version".

Depending on some conditions that aren't always you get the true link or you get the wrapped link.

My guess is that they have an array of techniques for tracking your clicks (js trickery, "ping" attribute,...) and resort to wrapping only when the other ones are less likely to work.
They would love it once they got used to it. Times would be easy to follow using a smartphone / app. I wake up at the time I set in my phone and get reminders for all my appointments from my phone, it doesn't matter what the actual clock time is and how it is set.

Instead of an IP, you can use a domain. Then you can use Dynamic DNS to keep that domain pointed at your current IP (essentially, you run a small program on the same computer as the VPN server, that updates the DNS provider every time the IP changes).

I disagree. DST would be better. I don’t recall “permanent DST” being tried in the US and a citation would have been nice. Regardless, for me the loss of daylight hours has always been difficult. Moving ~10 degrees closer to the equator has helped, but the general lack of any daylight in the evening is often still a problem.

Since, as the author notes, it’s the same amount of daylight, I’d rather see it in the evening because people have little control over when their day starts. A large number of us will be waking up in the dark anyway. Better that people get at least some daylight in the evening than none at all.
