I'd have said 'hear' is more variable than 'mariner' - if you imagine for example Welsh, RP, and East end accents.

Having said that, 'Rhod Gilbert Welsh' (in my head anyway) isn't that far off rhyming with 'mariner' itself.

Europe is the only major economic area that has failed to create a tech giant

I'm not sure that's entirely true. After all, the likes of ARM are European originally.

However, yes, in terms of the sort of high-tech firms we talk about a lot on HN, Europe is sadly lacking.

I think this is partly because European governments at both national and international level don't really understand how to deal with the rapidly evolving tech sector. The list of measures that successive governments here in the UK have mentioned when saying how much they want to support our businesses bears little resemblance to the list of significant problems any of my businesses actually have.

I understand you well. However, it's a lot simpler when you can't afford or justify buying the fancy car.

I bought an used electric car with a tiny range to commute and every time I did long trips with it I wished I got a Tesla with a five times bigger battery.

But then I think about it, I do not regret not spending the money on a Model S, renting a long range car a few times a year, and buying a bigger flat with the money I saved.

> Part of what makes it so galling is because Apple has those competencies in spades anyway (SREs, designers, datacenters, bizdev.)

But what do you mean 'anyway'? If Apple suddenly said 'you know what, App Store is EoL, do your own distribution' (because of legal or whatever reason) surely there would be a spade or two of those competencies that were consequently redundant?

I don't imagine they're hiring people to work on say Apple Maps; who subsequently say 'cor, good thing I'm here, someone should take a look at that unstaffed app store project'!

Airtable is fantastic for so many things, I only wish there was a cheaper "personal" plan with more records, for a couple of bucks / month.

I can't really justify $10 / month for "just for fun" personal projects, and the 1200 records / base is too limited for many ideas (and also 5000 records for $10/month is on the low side as well, even if putting it as a company expense)

The Impact of Positiv Micro-Feedback
I am all for decriminalization, but both with cannabis and mushrooms I feel worried about the amount of "it's actually good for you!" that comes with it. I have used both (legally, in the Netherlands). As a student I enjoyed cannabis quite a bit but when I used a lot less later I did come to feel like (looking back) the usage came with some depression symptoms. With mushrooms I feel in general that they were good experiences but I've heard enough stories (first and second hand) of people experiencing long-term effects from psychedelics that I don't think it should be encouraged (at most for specific people with a therapist or so).

Personal responsibility and liberty are great but these products should come with warnings and guidance.

Look at the dimensions of an old planar transistor design. Switch to a new design with completely different dimensions that massively increases density. Calculate how small the old transistor design would have to be to have the same density as the new design.

That's how they came up with numbers like 7nm. It makes a lot of sense because the transistor designs keep changing and no matter what physical feature you measure an accurate number would become irrelevant with the next manufacturing process.
If you have a lot of work that needs doing, it may well work out cheaper to find a dentist overseas, fly there, stay for a period of time, and then fly home again.

MeiliSearch does not offer faceted search yet. It is one of the key feature that we are still missing but we plan to work on it in the coming weeks.

> So, no to free trade? Because that sounds very much like protectionism to me.

Yes, absolutely. And this is why China has successful tech companies like Baidu and Europe doesn't. As long as the EU allows US giants like FAANG access to its market, it will be completely dominated by them because of the scale / home market advantage that they enjoy.
I find this type of logic to be inconsistent with the innovative culture of tech, and a fair bit hypocritical. On one hand, we have a new, fairly unprecedented technology (at least unprecedented on the scale on which it’s used) yet we are relying on tort law that predates the contemplation of anything of this magnitude. Why?

It was reasonable in 1990 that the mechanism that you suggest here would be highly effective in most cases. We are in uncharted waters now and unlike the titanic, I think we should proceed with caution.

I think the opioid epidemic is pretty much tied to the over prescription of opioids and the abusive practices of opioid manufacturers.

I really like the idea implemented by Apache Guacamole, but when I tried to install it on my home server get remote desktops to my other machines when abroad, it was a huge letdown.

First of all the installation process is terrible, you need to install and configure a whole working tomcat8 server first and manually deploy the application WAR, configuration is non-obvious and obtuse, and the first ~10 tries after deploying Guacamole failed to establish VNC connections without a clear indication what went wrong. Over the years I've installed loads of services, not just trivial ones (e.g. nginx with SSL and multiple vhosts on different domains, reverse proxies, SSH tunnels, VPN servers, etc) and while I wouldn't say installing Guacamole was hard, the process just felt unnecessarily complicated. Not a nice experience.

Second, when I finally managed to get Guacamole to establish a VNC connection to an OS X client, the performance was straight up horrible. That's over a Gbit ethernet LAN, which I also use to stream games to a steam link at 60fps. Granted, this was connecting to desktop with 5K resolution and 32-bit color, but connecting to it directly using a VNC client works just fine. Through Guacamole it was literally unusable.

Is this to be expected?
Also important: turning over a finished project to a client who just wants to run the workload and doesn't want to hire full time sysadmins.
No, 14mbps in Berlin is an outlier.

At https://saityi.github.io/sml-tour/tour/02-05-recursion.html the claim that "This is safe [...]; it will not explode the stack" is fishy. The function as written is not "syntactically" tail-recursive.

As a full-stack engineer, I'm a huge proponent of TDD in certain situations. Specifically, when given a very well defined problem-set (e.g. "create a report, which, given X, returns Y"), but less when given a far broader task (which, in my experience, I find much more with front-end tasks).

The cognitive load required up-front is big, and I think that puts many off who've never felt the benefits. But it's very rewarding to be able to define a clear set of tests and then have the confidence that when the lights go green that your mission is accomplished (less refactoring). In being forced to write tests first (and endure the cognitive load), I regularly find edge-cases and requirements not originally spelt out, and so avoid having to later re-write having discovered them later.

Much like many things (including "Agile" at the OP mentions), when applied pragmatically I think TDD is an awesome principle to adopt.

6 Marketing Ebooks for any online business ever need
Pretty small anecdote though.

There is some truth in the Buddhist truth of "Dukkha" (that life is suffering).

Most of us are simply seeking ways to enjoy the ride and have a meaningful existence while we're here. Some people try mind-altering substances in small doses to explore different states of existence, cope with pain, celebrate, meditate, etc.

We all do things to numb our pain don't we? Medication, activities, work, family, hobbies, art, music, whatever.

I believe legalizing psychedelics will give us a chance to better study and understand what precautions we need to give to people curious.
Debian - stable, testing, and unstable - consistently, if somewhat infrequently, over about 9 years.

Compare VMware Workstation, which costs non-trivial monies, and typically breaks in difficult-to-fix ways every few months if you're on bleeding edge kernels, and unfixable ways no matter what you're doing after a couple of years, requiring more monies to upgrade for a functionally identical experience.

Smart Contract Security Testing in CI
For a moment I thought it would do process takeover (hot reload) which is closer to impossible to get right.

Nice, through not production ready yet.

Through I'm a bit hard pressed to find any good use-case for it. In nosy installations the binary _should_ not have the right to override any binaries at all, including itself. In Linux (and I think windows too by know) there is a form of update functionality provided by the system. Even if you do your own update for client side software it should be a separate binary (as the main binary should not be able to so so). Maybe it would be ok in a container, but the restarting the container would likely instead the update.

(As a side note I said should because I know that it's sometimes not the case, at least not without putting additional work into it. Still using a update mechanism like that would make it harder to make it the case in the future).

Maybe I'll give it a shot. For me the premise occupies a sort of uncanny valley of realism: there's no space wizards or wormholes or FTL or aliens, but it's also not realistic enough to be something that could happen. It's kind of like that movie The Day After Tomorrow. It felt like there should have been some kind of mystical or supernatural force behind it all because it could never happen as presented, but they want it to come across as plausible.

Guacamole is (in my experience) unfortunately rather inefficient concerning bandwidth.

You can’t compare it to Steam Link either, because that’s using H264 video compression. Guacamole does not use video compression.

A single 5K 24 bit bitmap is ~42 MiB. That’s a lot, even compressed and especially at reasonable frame rates.
Genuine answer: because it is not superior, certainly not “far superior” and it’s a Google “I’ll probably kill you tomorrow.” product made by a company whose ethics I no longer trust (Google).
Yes, with a caveat which is latency. For example it's hard to split a typical webapp so the application servers are far from the database. The latency kills performance.

On the other hand, for stuff like CI jobs, batch processing or anything else which doesn't depend on tight synchronization with the other location, you can mix and match.
Interesting, that makes sense!
It's basically the same.
