Agree if you want to be a millionaire by your mid-30s then aiming for FAANG and saving most of your salary is the most statistically reliable path for a reasonably smart technically-minded person.

However the next question is whether you are 100% optimizing for money, because there are a lot of other considerations. First of all, working at Google with the best tools, at the largest scale, and the smartest colleagues will teach you a certain way of doing things. What it won't teach you is how to bootstrap a successful business with open source and cheap SaaS components. The type of resourcefulness you learn will be around navigating a specific corporate culture, which is arguably less generally applicable than figuring out how to solve problems in startups or more average companies that aren't funded by insurmountable moats built decades ago for which your impact as a late-stage incoming IC will be negligible. Also if you have a twenty year timeline, realize that these companies' reputations are a lagging indicator and the situation on the ground could change a lot and disrupt many of your assumptions.

But my point is not to endorse an alternate path. If you can enjoy your work and also get paid more, that's the dream. However I would very much caution against slogging through something you hate in the hopes of some distant payoff. Life is about the journey not the destination.
I bought it for $10 ("$40 off") and that's still how its listed for me. I never tried the other free options but reviews online were consistent that X410 was good. I've been happy with it.
How does this square with the idea that antiparticles are particles traveling backwards in time?

They used to sell it for much cheaper - way back when I got it, I'm pretty sure it was under $10. If they raised it that much, surely that's a sign of demand?

I have little doubt that it's a polished fork, but what ultimately matters is the value added - in this case, the value is, "it just works". The only thing I had to do manually was to configure DISPLAY=:0 system-wide in my WSL.
Why... why...

The article is frustratingly vague, but as far as I can tell, this group wants more centralization, not less, and their problem with Apple/Google's proposal is it has too much privacy, not too little.
Windows has really nice tracing and WPA is pretty powerful. I've not yet seen a tool that is similarly easy to use on Linux. You can get most of the raw data from perf, but the tooling for analyzing the data isn't as good. I'd love to hear about a tool that for Linux allows doing Dawson's wait analysis easily if anyone knows of one.

I agree about the lack of source - it's really nice to be able to see exactly what the kernel is doing on Linux.
While I tend to agree, IMHO your example is off - it is a "state" property because the class is newly instantiated each time a render is going on, and then the property is magically re-populated for you so you can still treat the class like a class, not because "classes are meant to have state" - you would use class properties directly as your state if that was the case. Hooks are exactly the same magic (the state property is populated the same way as the useState hook works), only accessed differently.
No, this would only set the initial viewport, it does not prevent zooming
It's true, I like the feel of Haskell type annotations as well, but I'm working with js/flow in day-to-day job; finding mysqlf moving towards those one-line-type-annoations to mimick Haskell, I'm surprised flow actually handles most of the code, even not so trivial ones; inference is good enough that those one liners are most of the time all that's needed, examples are here [1] [2] [3] if somebody wants to peek.

VcXsrv is great for bridging WSL and the Windows GUI, e.g. launching an x11 image viewer from WSL bash
I'd usually bring my own work at school. I liked to build web application, so I used most of my boring school time to architect them on paper. Then when at home, I could implement it. My teachers bothered me a bit, but I was passing the exams, so they couldn't complain too much.

Your kid could have his own little project and do it at school.
You have to know that MIT OpenCourseWare exists. Many people do, but I suspect an even larger number do not.

Gifted kids can come from all backgrounds. When parent involvement is there and the parents know how the system works and where to find resources, it’s an ocean of opportunity out there.

When parents don’t know the system (immigrants for example), don’t have the luxury of a lot of involvement (work multiple jobs), the asymmetric knowledge/access are now an issue.

Public education is supposed to level that field somewhat and what many are pointing out is a gap through which many gifted students fall through. Then you get behavioral and social problems, as called out in the research.
Single day round trip flights New York to London for business meetings would be a big seller. Leave NYC at 6am, get in at 3pm London time, have meetings till 7pm, get home at 8pm New York time. No jet lag and sleep in your own home. Huge value.

Not sure how you can desire better safety. The last fatal crash of a US airline flight was in 2009.
Regarding learning Rust, As a intermediate level developer. I find literature for learning, and working with Rust quite lacking.

On the other hand C++ has some huge array of books. All of the them being top notch.
As someone who works for a startup, I long for the day every jackass and their donkey who sold a company to a tech conglomerate will not rule the minds of other startup founders. Sadly it's more likely that I will witness the heat death of the universe.
That might change with WSL drastically increasing the demand for such a thing. With enough resources, doing it as an X server is the better approach because it gives more flexibility - top-level windows can be shown directly on the host desktop etc. And with enough demand, there are resources for something like X410...

I've used both Xrdp and X410 for my WSL UI needs, and so far X140 has been a much better experience by far.

To better illustrate this, compare with Brainfuck. It is also a very small, simple language.

Its simplicity is at the same time its own worst enemy, in that it pushes down all the difficulties, complexities and verbosity for you to manage yourself. Perhaps an extreme comparison but just to show that simpler language doesn't always yield a simpler program.

Shouldn't this read 'how' instead of why? I am far from an academic so please enlighten me. I presume 'why' to question reason and 'how' to explain means.

If you look through the last few centuries of illustration, it has always been subject to fashionable trends that are informed by the processes used to create and publish illustrations in their respective eras. There have always been distinctive and original illustrators, but the other 90% are usually playing to style trends. Ultimately concept is king and the style is malleable.

These days illustrations are much more commonly produced with fast turnaround time and smaller budgets. The print industry ain't what it used to be. Illustrations are now viewed on multiple platforms and have to be readable and graphic when only a couple inches wide while (in some cases) still looking good on a magazine rack.

I would say illustration went through it's most diverse and creative phase in the late 90s up to the iphone. Before Steve Jobs killed the print industry there was just such a rich tapestry of career illustrators making a comfortable living producing polished and distinctive work.
Most schools are massive daycare centers. Giving gifted kids their own time back—to pursue their own interests—would be more effective and less expensive than “three grades ahead.”

Grinding out paperwork and watching the clock in the 8th grade isn’t any more rewarding than it is in the 5th.

Smart kids just need a push in the right direction.
Frontend development/UI/UX design has gotten stuck in a weird loop. Many companies/startups get working on redesigning the UI every 6 months just because some competitor has a new design and a few people like it, or even worse, the designer likes the new "slick" design. It is bad because it is no longer concerns/standards about accessibility or usability driving those constant redesigns but some kind of self-created pressure to be part of a rat race.
Same, that was probably at least a year ago. For all intents and purposes, it's $10.

I've also been pretty happy with it, and substantive new features are added regularly. There's a couple little annoyances from the design assumption that the user's main interest is WSL, but for the most part, it's been much smoother than the other X11-for-Win32 variants.

Support was recently added for listening on a hyperv vsock, but again, it assumes that you're using Windows on the hardware and connecting to a virtualized Linux. The vsock-win32 driver for KVM is supposedly coming soon and then it will be fun to explore just reversing the tunnel and see what we can get done that way.
You get better conversion, in aggregate.

I'll give the author the complaints about modern scroll bars, which drive me up a wall, but the complaints about Firefox and Chrome really feel like grasping at straws to find something to dislike.

"This new take on the [Firefox] URL bar pops up when you least expect it, is very hard to get rid of and, as a bonus, covers the tried, tested and highly usable bookmarks toolbar below it."

What? It pops up when you click on it, or when you hit Ctrl+ L. That seems perfectly expected, and is how URL bars have worked as long as I can remember. And it only covers the bookmarks toolbar (should you choose to enable it) when you're using the address bar and the dropdown is visible. This is like complaining that the Save File dialog covers the tried-and-true document editor in Microsoft Word, but even more ridiculous, because you can, in fact, access your bookmarks through typing into the megabar. It's an excellent UI that provides keyboard access to a wide variety of browser features, all in one location - search, URLs, bookmarks, and even a fuzzy search of open tabs.

And the Chrome tooltips...behave exactly like normal tooltips, but with slightly different styling to make them more useful for showing the title and domain name. How is this a "crime[] against basic concepts of desktop UI design"?

Wow! So far this looks like the language I wanted to make! I wanted something like Elixir but with type declarations being part of the language as opposed to being annotations. I’ll be looking at this all weekend! It’s got the right ergonomics.
This is something that's been bugging me for a while that I could never put a label on. It appears "Corporate Memphis" [1] is a popular catchall term for this style. I think the comparison is apt because not only do they both share an affinity for the hypercolorful and simple geometric forms - they also both strike me as something that you can immediately place as the product of a certain time, which is really just a nice way for saying this stuff is going to look super dated just like the works of the original Memphis Design Movement [2].

Raising Poppies is a fun facebook group that fits this bill. https://m.facebook.com/groups/RaisingPoppies/
State funded mandatory education of children is an outlier in that it actually is fair, or at least it is supposed to be, which seems an important point in a discussion about children.

The fact that it isn’t is due to funding, the private sector, grant maintained etc. combined with varying management competence and, at least in England, an obsession with construing difference as hierarchy. All but that last one seem like implementation bugs in an otherwise fairly designed plan.
Which is fine, because like most IIGS owners, you had both drives. The //c was the compact integrated apple II. It is all you needed. You could just buy a IIc, take it home plug it into your TV and there was a large software library. You never needed to buy another piece of hardware. The IIe/IIGS were expandable, you bought the machine, which by itself didn't do anything, then you bought a pile of peripherals.

The //c+ broke all that, you bought it, took it home, and discovered that literally nothing worked. All the software being sold on 3.5" was for the IIGS, and didn't work in your machine, and all the software for the IIe/c/+ came on 5.25".

So, your nice compact standalone machine, suddenly requires you to drive back to the computer store and buy a 5.25" floppy drive. A piece of hardware that was a good 1/3 or so the total size of the machine. No longer was it a "compact" standalone setup.

The few times I actually saw //c+'s in the wild, they were lonely useless machines because the owner never purchased the 5.25" drive. Leaving them with a machine which booted prodos, and maybe appleworks.

A compact IIGS in that form factor clocked at 4Mhz with the 3.5" drive would have been a great product. Heck it would have made more sense to have put a hard drive in it instead of the 3.5". Apple did neither, because they just wanted to milk the II market a bit more so they could release the next mac.

Sorry to break it to you, but there’s nothing immoral about repackaging open source software (even if there’s no value-add at all, which is not true in this case) and trying to make a living out of it, as long as it respects the license of the project being repackaged.

On a more personal note, I checked out your profile and you don’t seem to be contributing to open source much, so maybe first try to bring us something revolutionary (or not) yourself.

Edit: Okay, let me expand. As an actual honest-to-god contributor to open source (as in my work is used by at least tens of thousands of people), I’m tired of shallow dismissal of commercial software in the name of open source, especially when said dismissal comes from someone who’s just an open source leecher.

Multiple “copy and paste” buffers implementation
https://github.com/akashgovind95/MultipleCopyPasteBuffer

Hey! I have written a simple implementation of multiple "copy and paste" buffers. It allows you to hold up to 9 items at once. It allows for copying multiple lines from different paragraphs from several different sources. It only supports text right now but I'll be extending it to files and images as well.
It is astounding how much D-K this piece exhibits. On what basis does he think that virus-transmissive mask wearing is effective? Absolutely none. (He doesn't mention equally plausible arguments about why it could be worse.) And then he goes on to mis-comprehend the parachute study, and predictably use it to justify doing not what experts recommend, but what non-experts want to believe.

Also he really seems to mis-comprehend probability and confidence intervals -- like most people. A 29% chance of Trump winning should have been a five alarm alert that there was a significant chance of catastrophy -- even for Republicans. But we're too focused on the things that are very likely. (Like death, and as an American prelude, bankruptcy from health costs, being screwed by megacorps, taxes, and rich getting unfair tax breaks.) If car accidents weren't common and easily foreseeable, would we have insurance? Only if part of the system made us, based on risk analysis.

I've been using VcXsrv to run remmina on my desktop for a while now, but it's been having issues where windows will disappear and won't return without relaunching. I'm giving this a spin to see if it works; if it does, I'll happily fork over ten bucks for it. :)

The main reason I mentioned it is that I know I've seen various implementations--they're just not widely adopted. I guess nobody has the business interest to make it all work?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Data_Services (NTSC) looks like a 2008 standard and most PBS stations provide "autoclock" time data

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System (FM radio) I figured this had an implementation considering text has been around for years. Amazingly, I don't think I've ever seen a car stereo use it to set the time!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_over_power_lines I know this has been around but has had a lot of hurdles. I figured the current time might be a simpler thing.

The only reliably time-setting tech I've seen integrated is GPS--I'm not 100% sure how time zones work with it, but it does know your location.

>Everyone who has creativity, can sell their products on their own wish.

Agreed. But HN isn't really the place to promote your for-pay products.
I agree. “Why” implies or presupposes such reason or reasons exists. “How” is more about context, explicability, understanding, justification, verification, and proofs. That’s just my reasoning anyway.

It’s a matter of the “why’s” of ontology versus the “how’s” of deontology.

Honestly, when the URL bar on Firefox started to get fatter on focus with the latest update, i found it a bit distracting. It was a sudden change to a component which people use the most and the behavior had been quite stable for some time.

As a parent of a seven year old who continuously upholds and measures fairness it is really tiring to explain why dad gets to have a larger glass of milk, or why dad has a larger portion of dessert. Fairness is skewed by the one judging what is fair. It is relative and trying to explain relative concepts to a child with no ability to understand relative terms is frustrating. Hence he gets absolute rules and does not understand why.
>...AFAIK the US does not insure anyone directly

The government provides health insurance to many people. 44 million people are insured by Medicare. 74 million people are insured by Medicaid. Over 1 million veterans get their health care provided by the government run VA medical system.

As I pointed out, most countries have a mix of private/public funding a mix of private/public run health care. Lots of people seem to be under the misconception that universal health care coverage is only possible in a Canadian or UK type health care system.
