And some people will cook more. For example, we have a lovely little neopolitan pizza joint a block away, but two days ago I received an Ooni Koda 16 and have discovered how easy it is to make my own neopolitan pizzas. That's basically a permanent reduction in my spending on pizza if/when it does reopen.

Congrats on the milestone!
My observation as an AMAB person: you are absolutely 100% correct in your overall assessment, but I think your perception of relative ease for men has a filter of survivorship bias. Women aren't given much chance in the first place, but men have to walk a narrow line to access those chances and stay in once they get there. That's if they can walk the line in the first place.

The whole thing is a mess for everyone in an assortment of uniquely horrible ways across every intersection.
Thanks for the tip! I took a look, and it turns out Affinity Photo is 50% off right now. So, a one-time $25 purchase (via App Store for family sharing)! And it handles PSDs. And the iPad version is $10. Adobe is toast.

They were \absorbed by Gateway(?!!) at some point there. I remember having to call them for support on one of these monsters a few times in '98 or so.
> But if that were it, then the U.S. would just leave once that had been accomplished, and that's not what happens.

That is exactly what the US military planned with Iraq, Rumsfeld had outlawed any talk of Phase IV (nation building). The generals wanted out of there as quick as possible because they knew it would be a clusterfk regardless of Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheney thinking State, USAid and the UN would just manage Chalabi’s flowering democracy.

Of course, that fantasy lasted as long as it to blow up the UN HQ in Baghdad.
I had major issues with Eero and the Apple Store to the point that I had to get rid of them in favor of TP-link’s Deco system. I really wanted to like it, but no amount of troubleshooting with support or changing DNS could make it work.

> Guns Germs and Steel and all the TED talks that talk about how geographical differences are suspected to influence societal developments, all while keeping your racism and eugenics radar on maximum-alert.

I really have no idea about those theories but they could perfectly be NOT racist at all just like saying a girl from a poor neighborhood has less chances to be rich as an adult than a kid from a mid-class neighborhood is NOT racist, just stating the (sad) reality.

And as a complete ignorant I guess that in a primordial society, climate had a huge impact on access to food, and the less you have to think about surviving the more you can think about improving your life.
Stuff like this always confuses me. It's like asking how to exercise without sweating. I would think the first sign of performance problems would mean some profiling and some porting of sections to a native language. Instead some companies go down a crazy rabbit hole instead of just making some shared libraries.
There's a reason the execs thinks in terms of revenue, cost, and profit. Why would you want your engineers, designers, or anyone abstracted away from that? From my experience, every time you try to do that you end up with the business and the workforce misaligned.

It's not always easy to quantify value, and sometimes the return on an investment is slow and that can be unattractive. However, that doesn't mean we should try and hide away from figuring out the true value of work in business terms.

In my opinion, we should judge the impact and effectiveness on the base line metrics as the rest of the org. In a for profit company that's measures such as increasing customer spend, increasing conversion rates, reducing churn, reducing operational costs. All of those measures can be directly tied to revenue, costs, and profit. It's the language the business speaks, why would you want to speak a different language to the rest of the business? More than that, why would you want to start measuring performance in a different way to the rest of the business?
I can see the platform being a shared space between developers as a great benefit to indies.

I wouldn't describe Fortnite players as engaged any more than I would describe a gambling den habitant as engaged. In this case the latter is less predatory. It's my prerogative that any time Fortnite is mentioned, it should be reminded that while it is a great profit model, it is also a depressing moral failure.
It is surprising as well as depressing that someone can get enough money to buy a house from OnlyFans payout. Goes to say how many people spend money on that kind of stuff.

Two things:

First, this is very much being developed in a similar scope the millions of lines of JS that are in Firefox. This is going into Beaker. See beakerbrowser.com. Just as a point of fact.

Secondly, you still haven't connected your observations to the discussion! That observation amounts to, hey, there's lots of JS written for the NodeJS ecosystem—most of it is, really. And once again, my response is, "Okay, so it exists. So what?" I'm truly struggling to understand the significance of the comments here. Like, what if anything is that supposed to change? What is anyone supposed to do with that information? Is it supposed to change someone's mind? Is it supposed to change mine? And if so, in reference to what specifically? Is it even new information?

The most meaningful thing that I can manage to parse is where you say "the point is that it is unsurprising to discuss node". But whoever said it was surprising? Do you think I'm surprised? choeger mentioned NodeJS by name. My comment is evidence of a nuanced understanding of NodeJS. Where's the surprise?
I'll just comment for those curious, I do see all of them on my iPhone.

Def. We call that the OB1 problem (off-by-one). If either event detection (did something happen) or event classification (entry or entrance) is wrong, you can be off the whole day. To solve that, we have a different approach / non-threshold approach for boolean occupancy. Not implemented here.

So one of the best books I ever read about storytelling is Orson Scot Card's Characters & Viewpoints. He points out that there are 4 types of stories.

- Milieu: Stories about a setting.

- Character: Stories about a person.

- Event: Stories about an event.

- Idea: Stories that explore an idea.

Each one has a different point and appeals to a different set of people. What he stresses is focus on what type of story you are trying to tell and stick with that, revolve around that. I think that Chekhov's Gun falls under the similar idea.

One of my favorite authors Brandon Sanderson has a books series that is a character story; however he often talks about seemingly insignificant world building details that don't seem relevant to the story, but he always manages to tie them back to how it effects the characters or what impact it has on their personality. Thus even though some people would consider random religious observances in the story Checkhov's gun they instead add to the story because they flesh out the characters and help make them more real.

In my experience, the only reliable way to design an API is to cycle through "hats" like gradient descent until the API stops changing. There are no shortcuts! And there are more hats to consider than just frontend and backend. There's security, testability, teachability, performance, upgradability, there are likely many uses for the API, and more. This is why API design is hard.

2. Whether other companies will be forced to follow suit

3. Because of 1 and 2, whether the average HN reader should worry about their livelihood.

Why is that in any way depressing? Making others feel better via a personal connection is one of the most noble professions one can pursue.

Yes, it's tragic that you could seamlessly compose streaming audio, video & text from multiple servers using an SMIL _text file_ in early 2000s, but it's all gone now.

Yet we now have large markets of broadband-connected humans with countless hours spent in front of streaming media (including video conferences) that they cannot annotate, inspect or compose. Then people wonder why they are "exhausted" after hours of Zoom meetings via powerless blackbox client apps.

There's still a tiny bit of standards activity on sync of A/V content with web text, part of the upcoming fusion of epub & the web, aligned with Google's "Web Packaging" that will enable a fully-offline internet with signed content (can of AMP worms).

> so that in future my neural net adapters can optimize old HTML code into new, clean, HTML5 code.

This is exciting work. Apple has a powerful ML/AI chip on recent iPhones, likely to be used for image processing and augmented reality annotation of live video. It would be nice to apply this silicon power to the semantic ambiguity in real-world human use of markup languages.

We need an alternate timeline fork of the security aesthetic of CSS "user" vs "publisher" stylesheets, which at least tried to formalize the inherent social/power/finance conflicts between stakeholders in the web content rendering pipeline. Of course, we've since added identity, device fingerprinting, keystroke timing and countless other minutiae to the arms race. But the fundamental need for separation of powers will never go away.

Many users have powerful silicon on their devices, but today it is rarely employed in defense of "user" stylesheet/reality parsers. The proxy architecture you are developing could be combined with fully-private "user" datastores, of the kind harvested today without consent, but instead customized by the user for their own objectives, with data always in their physical control. With local personalization and ML-powered disambiguation, the unfair playing fields could be tilted a little towards local autonomy.
I don't know any specifics about GCP but in general for datacenter design, heat dissipation and energy costs are really important. When you shrink the process width, you get incredible savings in power (saves $$) -> less heat dissipation per flop (saves $$ because you don't have to remove that heat).

That and I suppose there could be a premium for older setups of any kind if for whatever there are licensing agreements that are negotiated for certain hardware (or for certain numbers of cores).
I've heard the term "professional (coding) interviewer" and "professional leetcoder" thrown around too.

Also wouldn't be surprised if quite a few people are leetcoding on the side during their day job's working hours.

Disclaimer (as per my other comment): I'm guilty of it too.
More than 3 years ago I moved from a single gmail address that had a ton of spam, to a Fastmail wildcard domain with a rule for each individual/company that emails me. I use a randomly generated, 7-character username created from a-z and 0-9 for each address, stored in my password manager. eg. The email address for my Reddit account might be rkd64id@example.com.

While I think this scheme is perfection in terms of privacy and security in knowing which company sells or breaches my email address... the fact is I haven't gotten a single unsolicited email in the entire 3+ years. Not a single message that hit a spam/junk filter, and not one email that wasn't expected based on whitelisted rules. The closest exception is Amazon who shares your email address with their shippers for delivery notifications; while I do receive 3rd party mail regarding legitimate Amazon deliveries, I've never received any spam to that Amazon address.

I have come to a conclusion as to why I have never received a single spam email since switching to this scheme. When I transitioned my GitHub account away from the old gmail address, I used the privacy option to not publish my REAL email address in Git logs pushed to GitHub. I deleted my old repos, and re-imported using the GitHub-wrapped email address. Thus I surmise that for those of us who are developers pushing code to public Git repositories, the vast majority of the spam you receive is because your email address can be very easily scraped from those Git logs.

I expect to migrate back to a single email address in the future, for a singular reason: as I get older I cannot imagine managing these email filters and password manager entries. Eventually I will need to simplify things.
Perhaps your training set was flawed.
The founders of 3 of the top 4 US companies (by market cap), married or had a long-term dating relationship with a subordinate employee.

The 4th married a student he met while giving a guest lecture and then asked on a date in the parking lot afterward.

The 5th and 6th were dating their spouses before founding their companies.

The 7th and 8th were over 100 years ago so the history is too hard for me to track.
I don't think anyone is opposing the concept of building an undersea cable to make profit off the communications channel. The problem is being dishonest about your motivations. In this space, Facebook has lost a lot of trust with the (widely criticized at the time) Internet.org project, and in general isn't known to be a company that really means what their press releases say.
I'm curious if any firms will be created where they're happy receiving 2-5x return after 5-10 years, the terms of these novel investment firms - arguably better than traditional VCs - are still trying to get extra icing from the cake and not just happy with the icing on their own slice.

Re: https://earnestcapital.com/shared-earnings-agreement/

"One reason for wanting to handle every possible outcome is that we are committed to a SEAL not having any control over the business: no equity, no shares, no board seat, no preferred voting rights." isn't congruent with "... there is a residual Equity Basis that remains after the Shared Earnings Cap is fully repaid" - I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding or you're first saying there is in fact an equity-like function but in the conclusion claiming "no equity" taken?

Also, anything regarding to the value of the mentors-investors that they claim will help out an investment (because they're incentivized) is all just ear candy and hype without evidence that they'll actually add any value or give useful direction for whatever business model(s) you implement.

Maybe earn trust with founders before asking for or expecting extra icing?

Why rails? With some of this self driving tech you could just put sensors in the road and have the vehicles follow pre-determined routes. I've always thought that's where this self driving tech should have first gone in the early stages. Instead of having a large bus come by once every 30 minutes you could have a fleet of small self driving vans coming by every 5 minutes. If you don't have to pay so many drivers that could be cost effective. Something like that could change public transport and would be very accessible to even small cities.
I'm not really familiar with mongo db but I have been working with couchdb for awhile now.

I just posted a "Show HN" of a simple demo app I made that uses CouchDB installed on the client side. CouchDB will run a Mac, Windows, and Linux desktop PCs.

The demo uses PouchDB.js to interact with CouchDB. PouchDB is really pretty sweet.

Take a look at the demo and play around with it a bit. There are two web pages that are both self contained. One sets up a user and db, the other demonstrates crud routines.

I think the issue is between people who interpret the statement as "water is predisposed to drain in a particular direction depending on hemisphere" or as "water will drain in a particular direction depending on hemisphere".

Does it have an effect and can it sometimes be seen? Yes. Is it often swamped by other factors and rendered irrelevant? Also yes. That doesn't mean it's false, but it does mean that some statements that rely on it as a factual basis are at best mistaken.

You are probably right about the heap, but in the stack there are no big data structures. To move all data types to 64bits would impact the stack size of processes and threads.

Bigger data structures also mean more cache misses. So, systems would be also slower. As, bringing data from memory to the CPU is very slow compared with accessing L1 or L2 cached data.

So, you have a point. But, it does not apply equally to all data.

The difference is that it is potentially more efficient (depending what the optimizer does).

(At least, it is how I do C programming.)
I don't know how this makes any sense. Engineering is the only way to automate things to allow a business to scale sublinearly. Why layoff high performing engineers when you can reassign them to problems where the goal is to automate things enough to reduce costs to below the cost of keeping them around. Any high performer should be able to create enough value within 6 months to pay the salary for the hole year. If anything, you buy your company the optionality to further layoff non-engineers that you can't yet layoff until their job is automated.

Now this may not be possible at smaller companies but at a company the size of AirBnB or Lyft certainly has enough problems that could still be better automated to help reduce costs further.

Usually they will form compounds with other characters, and the compounds will be unambiguous. For the first two characters, you have stuff like 水果、苹果 （"fruit", "apple" respectively); 包裹 for "package". 裹 is also a verb by itself meaning "wrap":

> 我把身子用毯子裹上。

> Wǒ bǎ shēnzi yòng tǎnzi guǒshàng.

> I wrapped myself up in a blanket.

This last example shows that just like in English, words that are pronounced the same in Chinese can be distinguished by part-of-speech. You'd rarely confuse "red" the color and "read" (past tense), even though they're pronounced the same, because the first is an adjective and the second a verb (except in the old pun "What's black and white and read all over?", where you think "read" is actually "red" due to the grammatical structure of the sentence).

This is a pretty good explanation of how Chinese characters work, explained via English words: https://www.zompist.com/yingzi/yingzi.htm

(The other three "guǒ" characters are quite rare, so may be literary-only.)
