It is very clever idea but i do agree with bruceb. You want MVP, but definitely spend more time on the demo. Me clicking on something and seeing an image of it negates and doesn't inspire me at all with your call to action to sign up.

You should be setting up a demo like letting me have a conversation with a bot.

Bot: hello there, how are you today?

-> Me: [any answer really]

-> Bot: I know we didn't finish this conversation, but can you tell me more about [any answer really]?

Bot: did you know this is similar to Slack's threads?

-> Me: No I did not know that.

-> Bot: Well now you do. Check out more features.

-> Me: Yeah this is so cool.

-> Bot: I'm glad you knew about it.

Bot: How's work today?

-> Me: Good.

-> Bot: That is good. Work is okay here too.

-> Bot: I know I started another conversation before finishing this one, but would you consider using it for work?

Bot: Do you have any pets?

-> Me: [any answer]

-> Bot: That's cool if you prefer, as I do prefer [any answer] myself.

Bot: You know, I built this project during the quarantine of COVID-19. Are you working on anything?

-> Me: Oh wow. I'm not working on anything. [any answer really]

-> Bot: I'm still adding more features to it. Do you have any suggestions or are you ready to sign up?

Something like that would probably suffice.

I know me and... everyone I know who is more than a 1-dimensional character in my life meaning we have more than just "hi how are you" conversations discuss multiple topics and sometimes I have to say, "regarding the above... " or "we were talking about it earlier, but didn't finish..."

Anyways, I hope this helps you, and I am completely validating your idea. Even the price... I'd suggest a free version with limits if that is something you'd consider, or just a trial demo might suffice. I'm a believe in some freemium to an extent, but thats just me.

If you’re working from the premise that your brain is only suited to work with one operating system, then you’re really only harming yourself, by shutting down any opportunities you may otherwise have open to you.

Small organisations have the luxury of letting people choose their tools more freely. As they grow, they tend to have to restrict this more. Not just because they might have to support the tools you choose to use, but because they absolutely will have to support how your choices work with all the other tools they have in the organisation. At scale, this starts to get out of hand pretty quickly, and the only way you can provide a good working experience is by adding constraints to the tools used.

On top of that, some organisations have regulations and compliance requirements to meet that make it even harder. If your basic procurement pipeline includes $10,000 of vendor due diligence, then you don’t want to just give everybody free reign to use anything they feel like. If those choices introduce additional ongoing compliance costs, then you want to control that even more so.

You could ignore all of that, and focus only on how it affects you. But there’s good reasons that organisations do that sort of thing.
IME companies change privacy policy seemingly on a whim, and present current users with an interstitial next time they try and log in, gating the immediate gratification of use of the service with a big green OK button, virtually guaranteeing acceptance.

It would be much harder for Stripe to do that transitively, though, and presumably the vendors, i.e. Stripe's customers, can't grant this on users' behalf.

Commodities: This depends on the commoditiy. Gold is up by a factor of 50 over the last 20 years. Coffee is not. The reason for the latter is that the printed money goes into the hands of already rich people. Those are not investing it into goods for their daily lifes. They buy gold, houses, shares etc.

Go programs are slow compared to C++, the compiler optimises for its own speed and simplicity rather than fast output binaries.

But there are big architectural differences too. Borg can split its master across multiple machines for example. The scheduler is a very tightly optimised piece of code. Borg clusters are managed by a central, dedicated specially trained team so there's basically no limit to the operational complexity that a Borg cluster can take on as long as they're all consistent - which they are.

The problem with this whole thing is that nobody really embraces the zen of devops (really the zen of everything) -- there should be one way to do things.

Prod is something that runs in the cloud, staging is something sorta like that, but the data is garbage and nobody maintains it, and dev is whatever someone could cobble together in a bash script to get something running using homebrew dependencies -- if you're lucky.

Or everyone hopes to docker-ify everything, but that's its own pile of garbage.

I don't care about the swearing either way. I don't think it's offensive, and I don't think it's hilarious. It's just - swearing.

But as an introvert this style of full-on campy hyper-edited perma-abrasiveness is incredibly tiring to watch.

My takeaway is that - unlike a good stand-up - he doesn't look relaxed or like he's having fun. It feels very forced, and that makes me uncomfortable.

so, the big question for me is: these tools generally package a lot of functionality in their "no-code" wrappings, otherwise they would be near useless (for example see LabView and Co, which are painful to work in and interestingly seldom marketed as "no-code"...).

So what's technically the difference to a high-level API? History tells us (from Fortran to Emacs to TeX to R/Keras/...) that these tools generally last _a lot_ longer than any of the non-spreadsheet no-codes. While at the same time being much more flexible.

To say Wiener and Shannon founded information theory is like saying Lorenz and Einstein founded speial relativity. I don't think physicists would consider Lorenz having made a major advance, and in fact even after the relativity was explained some people still didn't understand it.

Wiener made important contributions to mathematics but not to information theory. He wrote a book saying that entropy is related to "information" and is maximized for a Gaussian. That's about his involvement. The paper attached goes way beyond that.

Depending on the interest rate, lended money wery well can be a gift to the borrower.

Imagine a company that borrows $1M vs a company that borrwos $1B and both pay an interest of 0%. The company that borrowed $1B has 1000x more firepower to build a big business. While the downside is the same for both companies: They could go bancrupt and pay back nothing.

Combine that with the fact that a big enough borrower will be "too big to fail" and will always be able to borrow more money to pay back the last round. In that case, the lended money is a gift independent of the interest rate.
Nitpick: 23 assembly instructions and billions of transistors to run them. Custom hardware for the game of life could significantly decrease that (and the number of instructions), though.

I also think that “bunch of ‘ON’ pixels” would have to be rather large, if you think the universe could have evolved in many, many, different ways. A stochastic version of the game of life might be a better choice.

To prevent that from getting to chaotic, the next state of a cell could depend not only on the states of neighboring cells, but also on the past state(s) of the cell and its neighbors (in a sense making ‘time’ more important). Alternatively, one could slowly decrease the amount of randomness over time, allowing the universe to ‘cool down’ from an initial Big Bang into a less chaotic almost stable state.

Finding an interesting variant would be a challenge, though.
Just a minor correction, Rust is trying to be replacement of C++. It will be unlikely to replace C, at least for next 2-3 decades. C will serve as the low level language and Rust will be a higher level language.

Today Rust needs LLVM (written in C++), to generate binaries and it may be 2-3 decades before Rust will be used to write anything like LLVM with supporting platforms.

Today Rust library to do anything useful rely on unsafe integration with underlying C code.

Rust is still on fringes and quite a complicated language compared to C. I still doubt it will be a replacement for either, may be it will go-exist with C/C++ on fringes and may be in next 30 years if it survives like Python might have significant code and can be useful in place of C++.

Hi Andrew - with CodeSubmit we are trying to improve the take-home coding assignment process for both the candidates and hiring managers. The alternative to something like CodeSubmit is in most cases a home grown process that involves a lot of back and forth, emails, public repositories, and spreadsheets. Our customers prefer seeing short real work samples of their candidates instead of leetcode-style algorithmic heavy candidate filters.

I'm happy to walk you through the product and give you a short demo if you're interested, email is in my profile.

For OCaml, generate annot files by adding the -annot flag. Then in emacs you can do C-c C-t over any expression and it will tell you the type.

Edit: But I do think you have a point. In our OCaml programs we enforce interface files (*.mli) for all modules (the rule is enforced by 'make check'). So at least between modules there is always documentation and an explicitly typed interface.
Thanks for the heads-up. I guess I'll have to flee to a different ROM, then.

Also - do not use .local tld. It is a reserved one (RFC6762), for mDNS/Bonjour:

> This document specifies that the DNS top-level domain ".local." is a special domain with special semantics, namely that any fully qualified name ending in ".local." is link-local, and names within this domain are meaningful only on the link where they originate. This is analogous to IPv4 addresses in the 169.254/16 prefix or IPv6 addresses in the FE80::/10 prefix, which are link-local and meaningful only on the link where they originate.

Microsoft used to recommend .local TLD for AD deployment as a best practice, and nowadays there are companies stuck with this decision. Do not make the same mistake; unlike companies, you probably want your zeroconf stuff to work.
Putting the money on the balance sheet by itself does not affect prices, only the expectation that it will be spent - along with the expectation that even more money will be created.

Now the question is, what will that money be spent on? It's not the stuff that's in the CPI, therefore the average consumer will not immediately lose purchasing power, at least for domestic goods.

This is why we have seen massive asset price inflation but very little inflation in terms of CPI. It's politically convenient, people don't really notice it unless they want to buy a house. If they have a stock portfolio, they're happy about the paper profits.

> If your nest egg is mostly in cash right now, what should you do?

The following is not financial advice:

If you're 100% cash, you should diversify. Asset prices are bound to stay inflated, the value of the dollar (and other currencies) in terms of assets is bound to go lower.

You should look at rising stock prices within an economic crisis as an indicator of cash losing value. Also consider that pretty much all governments are now creating money, so there's no safe-haven currency.

Could the market turn again, could you buy at a lower price yet? Absolutely. If that happens, are the governments going to create even more money to stop the slide? Most likely.
Yes it does.

Value is being destroyed by the lock-down. Nest eggs are drying up. There's a lot Congress could do to stem the bleeding from a flood to a trickle, but it's not doing it. I don't think there's much individuals can do to protect themselves; folks on Wall St. are looking for the same sorts of places to stash their wealth, with much bigger teams. If someone finds a safe place, the value goes up as people buy it up. That's the point of index funds.

In an ideal case, everything would lose value at about the same speed -- cash and stocks -- so a $100 index fund is still worth $100 (with obvious winners and losers within). That's inflation, but it distorts things less.

Inflation hurts people with savings, but helps people with debt. There's way too much debt in the system right now, which is causing structural harm as people can't keep up with payments (be that airplane leases, mortgages, student loans, or otherwise). A little inflation right now is healthy. If your nest egg is cash, and that's worth 2/3, that's still a lot better for you than if it doesn't inflate, but the US economy collapses. So I'd accept the inflation.

But there are smarter policies we could put in place if we hadn't elected politicians who were qualified, rather than ones who acted relateable. Next year doesn't look better: it's Biden v. Trump at the federal level, and likewise down the line. We needed a Warren or a Bloomberg -- someone who isn't dumb.
Arrested Aboriginal says communities coronavirus lockdown can't access essential
Someone on this thread called Drew "militant", which isn't as negative as it sounds but accurate.

I will say, having observed his interactions in a few places, he rubs me the wrong way sometimes, even though it seems his heart is in the right place. I get it, totally guilty of it myself with strongly held views.

Don't mean this as a criticism but rather as a friendly suggestion if Drew is reading, but there are a lot of situations where backing down or just a softer approach is in order, especially now that he's running a business. There are a lot of us that are interested in what he's doing, but hesitant about using his services because it isn't obvious when the it is my way or the highway approach is going to come out.
This is a problem that pervades all forms of organisational stewardship. It's true for ICANN, it's true for all forms of national government, it's even true for ivy league universities. Eventually they all end up being run in the interests of the currently elected administration rather than the principles and long-term interests of the organisation.

It's impossible to completely fix, but there are a few ways to slow down the rot, for example:

1. Require extreme transparency (where possible)

2. Make decision-making difficult enough that everyone complains about how slow and indecisive the body is

3. Structure the administrators' roles and remuneration so that they have long term rather than short term financial incentives.

4. Don't offer large salaries to anyone. The role shouldn't attract people who care about salaries, even if it means you don't attract the "best talent". That "best talent" was probably going to wreck the organisation anyway.
AI models suggest that masks can ‘significantly’ reduce spread of coronavirus
In a 1 to 1 setting, it obviously doesn't work. But in a mesh setting with n connected peers, when you want to add a new peer, you can perform the first signaling step via a server to connect with one member of the mesh, and then do all the subsequent signaling through this peer. This way, to set-up a mesh with n users you only need n-1 signaling messages processes by your server (down from n(n-1)/2 if you perform everything through a centralized signaling server).

In practice, I know nobody who does that though. I don't think the extra complexity is worth it if your mesh are never really big, and with WebRTC, you rarely encounter situations where you have more than a few peers in the same mesh (Google Chrome even used to struggle a lot if you had more than a few dataChannel opened on the same page, while Firefox handled hundreds of connexions without issue).
I’m starting to be fairly confident that the ‘budget’ lever for a project might as well be disconnected from the feature and timeliness ones. Spending more money doesn’t make things go any faster. Especially adding more people makes things fo slower.
I admire your intent, but you've picked the wrong target for this kind of critique.

Nat seems to be achieving the opposite of what you say you're concerned about.

The point of these videos is to educate people how easy and affordable it is to eat fresh, nutritious and tasty food at home.

He's attracted millions of views before any mainstream media outlets have given him any attention, and he's done it by being quirkily entertaining, as well good natured and encouraging to his viewers (exemplified by lines like “Just have a go, you’re more talented than you realise”).

The only thing he's swearily abusive towards is lowest-common-denominator, anti-nutritious, big-corporate-commoditized food.

Earlier videos that have attracted a lot of views involve highlighting the absurdity of conspicuous largesse (luxury boat shows) and masculine hooliganism (e.g., burnouts in cars).

These seem like the very things that would be most associated with the style of politics you're most concerned about.

Yep he has tattoos and swears, but from what I can see he's only trying to raise society's standards, not lower them.
