Guy Raz's podcast "How I Built This" has been (for the few episodes I've listened to), surprisingly engaging.

I don't consider myself to have an entrepreneurial mindset, and generally don't go for business hagiographies. The Spanx story, of all the damned things to start with, was impressive. With it and Lara Bars, getting into the store was only the start of the battle, and a lot of hustle was required to turn that beginning opportunity into success.

(For all you idea people out there, ideas aren't even nearly enough. And yeah, that pains me to the bone.)

Seems like that negates most of the benefits of self-hosted: you're dependent on an internet connection (now likely two residential-class connections instead of one), it can go away without notice, you don't have absolute control over what happens to your data...

If I had to choose between traditional cloud services and a friend providing best-effort service, I'm going to go with the former.
Leaders Inspire Innovation
The universe is expanding, at a rate which I believe is heading past the speed of light.

This limits our ability to reach galaxies further away from us as they are speeding away faster than we could conceivably travel since our engines would of course be bound by the speed of light.

You're missing the elements of chance, luck, timing, and more.
There are some fairly large cultural differences between the East and West coasts. Having grown up on the East coast, places like Portland and Seattle feel as different to where I live as Dublin or Glasgow. But certainly not as different as Munich or Quito.

But I think a lot of the difference is self-fulfilling. If you grow up in one place and don't like it, you move. I grew up in a rural town, very conservative. I went to a local university. My first jobs were in the area. And I couldn't stand it. I eventually found out that, if you're uncomfortable with casual racism and anti-intellectualism, you just move away. Certainly the same thing happens in other areas, for anyone moving away from their local "culture". For me, that move was only 2 hours away to Northern Virginia, where I can still see my family, make it out to the public nature reserves I grew up with, don't have to sell my collection of guns, everyone has a degree, and people hide their casual racism a little better.

Don't get me wrong, there is shit I can't stand about this place either. But that's every place. I can ignore the problems of here a little better than the problems of back home. For whatever reason, I find it easier to ignore elitists who look down on folks for having "only" a Bachelor's degree than I can ignore luddites who feel threatened by folks who went to college at all.
I love Javascript and TypeScript, but with all the technologies gravitating around JS, the setup for a project gets clunkier and clunkier.

But overall, loving the direction JS is taking.
Including old age?
Depends on how you're running it. When I was running hass.io on a RaPi, I used a few of those plugins (including PiHole). Now that I'm running HA in a VM on a bigger machine, it makes more sense to run those services as separate VMs alongside it.
Because not all the state and layout is handled by AutoLayout... and it has its own set of bugs. Heck, iOS apps themselves (iMessage, Springboard) and riddled with rotational layout bugs in iOS 12 and 13.

So what can we conclude? Super smart, organized and no love for other mammals. I am amazed they only seem to go after humans in the sea world type scenario (film: Blackfish, shows the madness it induces in such animals). I don’t know of any attacks on surfers. Which seems odd. They would be so scary to swim near.
Not aware of one for copyright.

Noting however there was one recently for a patent troll, CloudFlare vs Blackbird Tech. It invalidated hundreds of patents from the abusing company and was upheld in the US court of appeal at the Federal level. Next, CloudFlare will try to get the owner removed from the bar.

I think it's comparable, although patent law is better codified than copyright. The internet and youtube are recent creations. Youtube was founded in 2005 and didn't care about copyright from the beginning. It took a decade for abuse to get there, it might take another decade for the legal system to adjust, but it will adjust eventually.
Don't UK banks use IBAN? It contains a two digit checksum that prevents exactly this kind of mistakes.
In many countries with paper ballots, the box never leaves the room until the count is complete. You can watch it from the moment it arrives empty until the results are submitted to the election committee.
I think this is the difference between education in many countries In Asia and the US: they care only about the grades, not what you actually learn.
FDA Approving Drugs at Breakneck Speed, Raising Alarm
That's still more finite than what JS can report, and can be easily broken by browser prefetching. (And could have performance implications that could drive users away.)

Whilst it's better-than-nothing fingerprinting, it is still far less effective than JS having access to the window and height properties directly.
This.. sounds dubious. All other organs are self-optimizing for lower energy consumption. Some animals even have brains, that radically transform for challenging tasks like migration (birds).

The brain can be trained to reward bringing in new information (intrinsic motivation), a behaviour which goes out to seek new information, new concept, overcoming inherent fear and lazyness. To do this, is why its so challenging beeing a good parent.
The limiting factor is the (according to current theories accelerating) expansion of the universe.
What happens if you take a large model and regularize it to have the same training error as a smaller model? Do you get the same benefits?
I think it's a great read that shows how projects (including IT) can be effective if you find right approach for the task.
Thank you! Just what I needed.

I guess it's be ok, but it'd be better if you found a way to find people who needed your product (Reddit forums, Yelp, yellow pages, etc). That way if and when you want to market your product, you know where to find them.

So I'd encourage you to learn where strangers who are your target market hang out and reach out to them. Something like "I'd like 10 minutes of your time for some advice because I want to learn about XXX" where XXX is their field. People love giving advice.

Especially since going to any kind of private school tracks closely with “parents have lots of money” which probably has a lot more to do with it.
If I were Sundar Pichai, I'd probably view being the Alphabet Chief, and not the Google Chief, as a downgrade from just being the Google Chief. That was fine for Larry and Sergey with their founder's stock and deliberate desire to be somewhat disconnected. I don't think Sundar has either of those.

You “supported” your statement with another instance of you making the same statement somewhere else.

This bit of the article should clear any misunderstanding on whether the existence of time is relevant for this discussion. Regardless of the actual existence of time, our perception of it is certainly real.

> Of course, although some physicists propose that time does not exist, time perception – our sense of time – does.
Sorry if I expressed myself poorly but that is exactly the point I wanted to make. To maintain backward compatibility, new constructs with partial overlap with existing ones are introduced; and this overall increases the complexity of the language. Whereas breaking backward compatibility would allow to re-use existing constructs and change their semantics (I am not saying this would be a better path though).
My understanding is that APL was initially designed to compete with math notation. Math formulas often require a two-dimensional language (consider matrices, roots, sums, products). Iversion tried to completely redo math notation in a more consistent and simpler way.

Knuth designed TeX, which contains an ASCII language to render two-dimensional math. Is TeX easier to read than APL?

Also interesting (to me) are words that are clearly etymologically connected yet mean something totally unrelated. E.g. French pas meaning "not" and Spanish paso meaning "step".
Ahh, I did not know that. My experience is through my HVAC course where it only covered heating applications not power generation. Still the way a heat pump in a HVAC system works you turn a small temperature difference into larger difference through the "A" coil, essentially compressing the warm air to make it hot, but I guess this does not scale well.
Orca rarely travel or work alone.

They use group tactics.
Sharks are solitary; orcas hunt in coordinated packs. 1 on 8 is not a good time no matter how big you are.
> I don’t know of any attacks on surfers. Which seems odd.

That could be because surfers tend to be in much shallower water.
It’s not that we can see that far, it’s that what we see has moved away from where it was when it produced the light we see now.
Yes. Especially in fields where privacy and/or security are required. (Think healthcare, corrections, and more)
But the point is, journey and journée are in fact etymological cognates, despite one having shifted semantically. The fact that they're pronounced differently is just a coincidence, and not related to the fact that they have different meanings.
Pack-hunting tactics. Think about fighting one guy versus fighting even two or three guys of comparable size and capability.
I know how it works :) Since it's part of the API getting a response object is pretty effortless, which is a better word than automatic, agree.
While trying to set up a Kafka trap you have fallen into one yourself.

That quora answer was a little uncivil, but not directed at any individuals. Similarly I don’t intend my sharing of it to be an attack on peers. If I’m being told I’m somehow at fault for sharing my thoughts when asked, isn’t that kind of validating my point of view?
updated, sorry, ridiculous mistake.
- what if you found an even faster way and did it in 30 minutes, do you charge half that?

- what if it takes you a bit longer, 2 hours, is it fair to charge the client 2x?

The point is, the client wants a car, not an hour of car-making.

Also, the moment you provide an hourly rate you get compared to other hourly workers, whether it’s fair or not. “What?! $100k an hour? Even our lawyers cost less!”
Both those methods rely on the browser not prefetching certain resources, which they are absolutely allowed to prefetch.

So if a browser changes the prefetching algo, the method is immediately broken. (For example enabling network.predictor.enable-prefetch in Firefox).

It isn't an inherent weakness of CSS itself.

An entrepreneur is somebody looking to start a company in my mind. I didn’t look up a definition, though.

Regardless, Jack knew he needed to make money eventually is what that shows. Uber may be foolish in its attempts to make money, but it absolutely is trying to in the long term.

There are other people that intend to swindle people (make money for themselves, not the company).

There are other reasons to start a company, but then you have an expensive hobby. If all you ever do is blow money you didn’t earn (your inheritance) starting businesses that fail, at best you are going to be called a failed entrepreneur.
That question is deeply entangled with American race relations. People don't really see themselves as part of one community.

The common answer from Americans to such ideas is that yeah yeah you can do that in European country X because it's (racially) homogeneous there but it would never work in the US.
Understanding is being able to read python code with no reference book/manual.

Applying is writing python code with no reference book/manual.

In both cases doing it properly means you are reasonably fast while being confident about the correctness (either that you correctly predicted the program's behavior or that you wrote bug-free software).
can you expand this concept?
You're seriously overselling how much value non-Java JVM based languages are bringing to the ecosystem...

Java is still the only JVM language with more than 1% usage on any industry ranking of languages.

All non-JVM languages combined represent 10% of JVM usage

https://snyk.io/blog/jvm-ecosystem-report-2018/

As someone who writes a lot of Kotlin for a living, something like 80% of the improvements Kotlin brings that I use on a day to day basis are features to give it the same level of ergonomics as C#... like reified generics...

-

And your comment that .NET is a de-factor one-language platform makes it sound like you've never heard of the DLR (or F# and VB for that matter)

To me the biggest reason DLR languages are not as big as things like JRuby is C# is a pretty damn good language. There's much less value is trying to cobble together existing languages and subpar runtimes when the defacto language is modern, developing at a steady clip, and "delightful" to use.
Show HN: Soothing scrolling ASCII random text IBM 437
>I've always thought of myself as being pretty clever, but I'll bet many HN readers would say the same about themselves. "extraordinary" seems a little over the top, but thank you.

There are enormous implications to this seemingly harmless labeling of yourself ( not blaming you). I insist you are extraordinary, not merely 'pretty clever', not only based on my observation but also judging by other people's reactions to you your post.

Off the top of my head there are 2 implications that can be typically attributed to such traits ( and I'm not saying that you are particularly cause those implications, it's just typical):

- if someone like you is an interviewee for a programming position, your average Joe interviewer who asks you algorithmic questions ( or often some clever question) will not like the fact that you can easily solve the problems that you are presented with.

- If a person like you is an interviewer for a regular corporate programming position( which does not involve algorithms), the person is likely to pose problems of this nature to candidates for the job. When candidates routinely fail to solve those problems the person is left wondering why the candidate pool is so bad. To the interviewer the solutions seems so obvious ( or can be figured out easily) to someone who is just 'clever'.

And the industry complains how it cannot find people for CRUD programming jobs....

> The way you get lots of users is to make the product really great.

That is wrong – or, at the very least, incomplete. "Build it and they will come" is the dream and misconception of every programmer who's talented at software development but not at sales. Hell, this is the number one advice of every business how-to book ever: You can't rely on people finding out about your great product by chance, you need to put in the work and sell it!

> Then people will not only use it but recommend it to their friends [...]

That's not how it works for B2B software, and only rarely for B2C. Usually, if a product is successful, then as a result of good marketing (a good product ist somewhat necessary, but not sufficient).
They're conflating a lot of things that don't need to be conflated.

You can generate a password for the user locally, when they create an account. You should still be hashing that password, not storing it in plain text. You should still give the user an automated option to generate a new password. You can still avoid sending the password over email, since that's almost guaranteed to be sent unencrypted over an open wire at some point.

The beauty of this Twitter thread is that it starts out with an idea that makes some very mild sense, and then immediately descends into madness for no reason. I absolutely love that they consider a password personally identifying information, but are fine collecting emails because, "the user could use an anonymous one if they wanted to."

Not really. Orcas are much chunkier than great whites. Even the rare great white that reaches the length of an average orca would be 1/3 the weight. I've seen video of an encounter between individual members of the two species, and it wasn't even a fight. The orca just grabbed the great white and flung it like a chew toy. The you add in the fact that orcas usually (but not always BTW) form and hunt in groups, and it's understandable why a great white would run away.

There's no doubt that a great white is an impressive beast, but there are even more fearsome animals out there. Orcas for one. Sperm whales for another. Something bigger than giant squid that gets into fights with sperm whales and leaves horrific marks on their bodies. To the real heavyweight champions of the sea, a great white would be a snack.

I'm not defending Doordash here, I'm just saying that the general concept of running a space optimized for cooking food for delivery is solid, could easily be profitable, and mostly already exists in the form of existing restaurants that are optimized for delivery (like pizza places that don't even have tables). I live in Manhattan and the amount of food being ordered in every day is unreal. Shockingly even the Taco Bell near me does more volume in delivery than in eat-in or to-go -- and they don't even run any delivery services themselves! It's all third party!

I don't see PaaS as a realistic alternative except for the simplest of apps. One always eventually needs to tweak the web server to get things like websockets, brotli compression, fast serving of versioned immutable files, or something else. Or run several servers with vpncloud.rs between them. It's not price that is a problem, it's the lack of flexibility.
Then it's better for the money to be lost to him than to fulfill it's original purpose? Plus they cannot make a claim to court to get it back given the context, although I'd be more worried about personal safety than court.
Yes it is. Just like stealing 1000 dollars from a billionaire is more defensible then stealing 1000 dollars from someone on welfare. The damage done on the former is nigh unnoticeable while the damage on the later would probably include starving without help.

That would be nice. What is Facebook AIs take on ethical use of its research?

Facebook probably pays through the nose for AI research and probably wants a ROI. Facebook makes money by building better user models and spamming targetted ads. Some of them are getting scarily good.
I think it makes better sense to compare how APL looks in the wild versus Python/Ruby/Java whatever. Rosetta Code shows this pretty well. There are dozens of examples where the APL program is one line and the Python/Perl/Ruby/C#/Whatever is ~1/3 page if I recall correctly.

So that might prove your point better now that I think about it lol. Python can be written like the user did above, but I've never written it that way or seen anybody at work that has. Most of the APL I've seen (except for the really old school kind) looks like oneliners.
i waste too much time on YouTube. But there is another video of a snorkel diver lady who swears a whale (forget which species) protected her from a shark. It would be nice to think there is some mammal bro behaviour (flipper <-> Hand fist bump!) but evolution has altered our morphology so much I doubt they see us as distant relatives. It took humans ages to see the evolutionary connection from us to everything else. I know a lot of animal hunt mainly on smell. Maybe we smell related. Or taste bad. Or maybe they just find us sufficiently amusing not to merc us.
Actually, my understanding is that light field is actually the ONLY way you could have ar with opaque black. However, you'd need orders of magnitude better light field tech than what's available.
I think the average person is more sympathetic than you are, to be blunt. You're projecting here.

Loud honking (especially at night) is a common complaint that New Yorkers frequently empathize over. Keep in mind that fully 78% of households in Manhattan don't even own a car, so way more people are annoyed by honking than ever do it.

And it's already illegal, no further legislation needed. The issue is with enforcement.
