Very good points! Intent can be tricky, since good intentions quite often go badly. Defining "badly" even becomes problematic as well (badly for who - me? them? the collective?). I think one of the problems with manipulation, is the intent is inherently selfish (to achieve your own goals/agenda), with the target's well being/free agency being a secondary consideration. However, it is definitely challenging to find the line between persuasion, cultural norms/good manners (e.g., remembering someone's name, making eye contact, etc.), and manipulation.
Nothing can beat Tree Style tab in Firefox. You can make "folders of tabs" and whole hierarchies. For "tabs collectors" like me who have 40 tabs always open this is a must.

My current setup : I have 5 pinned tab on top of the tree.

Below I have a "github" group of tabs.

Below I have a set of tabs opened on different parts of an app I'm working on.

Below is a group of documentation tabs.

Below is another group of articles I plan to read at some point.

Below I have the HN tab, with a tree of articles and comments.

I can't imagine going back to horizontal tabs. This is just much too good.
This just reminded me of the most unusual switch I've ever heard of: Smith-Corona's acoustic switch from the 80s.

There's no per-switch sensor at all!

Instead, each key-press just results in one wide metal bar being hit.
And to figure out which key was pressed, there's a sensor on the right and the left side which are used to calculate what key was pressed based on how long it took for the signal (i.e. vibration in the bar) to reach the left and right sensor.

It's so clever and so ridiculous at the same time!

> Top right seems to always have space.

Top right isn't always visible when trying to click a window to bring it forward

> You can also drag any window from any side by dragging perpendicular to the resize direction. It’s still small but I never heard anyone complain about precision there.

Interesting, I hadn't seen that before. It's still a small space and annoying to grab, but it's better than now knowing about it.

> And then there’s window manager if you’re a power user.

Not sure what you mean here.

> I also think you can move any window with three finger via system settings.

I use a mouse and full keyboard. I've never been able to interact with the mac well without them.

There's already a financial incentive - controlling the narrative is valuable. There are already bots posting/generating content on Reddit and other social media sites.
If the library were written in modern C++, then it also wouldn't be a problem. It would have given you a std::unique_ptr, ownership would have been clear, and deletion would have been handled automatically.
I don’t understand. Isn’t the surveillance program illegal? Wouldn’t this be passing a law that would require the government follow the law?

Serious question, I was under the impression this was equivalent to warrantless wire tapping, which was already illegal.

That's a good lesson in data science (the author is one). He has all the numbers right but did he forget some things ?

I didn't see anything about re-usability of the masks (no one has an endless stash of mask with a fresh one for every use)? What about using them right when putting them on/off and while wearing them (masks are efficient only when worn correctly, or not?)?

It's certainly true that the rate of profit on new investments goes up when you destroy existing capital stock. In normal times, continuous expansions make bad money chase after good, and you need downturns to wipe out the malinvestments. War wipes out both good and bad money alike, so that, very temporarily afterwards, almost all investments are "good money": pick a rebuilding project and invest in it, and it'll probably turn a healthy profit.
It's also just a generic term for a guidepost at the beginning of a journey – which is a perfect symbol for the product. I don't think there's any risk of confusion with a vendor-specific training portal.
Excellent! Currently, I am offering a free 60-day trial and would appreciate the support :)
ALR!!! I hadn't heard that name in eons. Didn't even know they were still extant in 1997. Back in the late 80s and early 90s, they were selling some of the beefiest professional-grade x86 hardware -- workstations and servers -- around. They were among the first (besides Compaq) to ship 386 and 486 hardware and early on the EISA bandwagon too.
Thanks! Definitely pulling on the same thread as Startup School (though I've never done it myself). Some structural differences might be

1/ this explicitly designed to be a replacement for the application process at Earnest. Over time you build up a profile that contains most of what we need to make an investment decision. We'll still need to chat and do diligence, but we're trying to remove a lot of the uncertainty around what should be in a pitch and when to time the pitch. Basically pitching is not a skillset we optimize for at Earnest (since most of the founders we back not intend to raise continuously more rounds of capital).

2/ This is explicitly opinionated in structure. Everything will intentionally skew towards our "funding for bootstrappers" strategy vs being generic advice. This should help founders decide if they are a fit for working with us long-term.

3/ This is not a "how to build a business" process. It's much closer to "here is a bunch of questions and prompts that we have found valuable to strengthen founders' thinking and strategy + some resources"... we're not here to teach you how to build a business with this.

> You mentioned that people get a free trial, but it sounds like someone can sign up for trailhead and stay in it for the long term without ever deciding to raise the earnest. What do you guys do in that case? When does someone get kicked out of their free trial? :)

good question. this is subject to experiments/change but the way we're thinking about it now is 1) Founder Summit remains a paid community (we are still a small fund and this allows us to hire an awesome team + pay people for workshops, etc) 2) We want to avoid a "pay to pitch" scenario so Trailhead folks get a 3-month free trial. 3) At the end they can choose: don't apply to Earnest but stay in the community and pay, apply to Earnest (portfolio co's get free access), or decide they've gotten what they need and move on from both.
VTT-research has tested different mask fabrics and made simulations of the spread

With mask:
https://youtu.be/blpit-6A7Yo
(red is dry particles, blue is droplets)

Without mask:
https://youtu.be/HsGJlANzeq8

Tests re-affirm the existing conclusion that non-medical mask-wearing helps from spreading the disease but is not very effective in protect the wearer.

The best available masks are made of microfiber and can filter up to 70% of particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers. Conventional garment fabrics filter 20-45% of particles smaller than 0.65-3.3 microns in size, while FFP2 shields 96% and FFP3 99% of particles up to 0.35 micrometers. This means that a user of fabric masks will receive several times the dose of viruses under exposed conditions compared to a user of professional respirators.

From conventional fabrics microfiber mask is best, second is polyester, cotton is the worst. One should wash them in hot water (90 celsius) after each use or throw them away.

I've been working on a small Django project called https://CodeSnippetSearch.net. It allows you to search through code snippets using natural language. Currently, Python, Java, Go, Php, Javascript, and Ruby programming languages are supported.

As with any cool project nowadays, CodeSnippetSearch is powered by neural networks (six in fact - one for each programming language). The project is open-sourced and you can read about the implementation details here: https://github.com/novoselrok/codesnippetsearch

That only applies to the small percentage of companies that isn't profitable and that still relies not only on investor money, but on fresh financial injections to keep their head above water. Most companies aren't like that.

A lot of software companies will continue to generate income as well, due to having recurring income like subscriptions and licenses.
See this is a good idea but suffers from a UX problem: it is just way too cumbersome to create a new group and add new tabs.

When I am on a roll I just want to hotkey a new tab open an start typing a search query for something. ctrl-t and type is just too fast and keeps me in the zone.

What if they added a new hotkey for opening a new tab in a new group? ctrl-g is taken, so something like ctrl-shift-g? Whatever it is, you get the point. Open a new tab in a new group. All tabs opened from a group stay in that group.

So, say I open a new tab group to search for something in google. I then read through the results and middle-click several items to open in new tabs. All those tabs should stay in the group. That way I can easily jump around to other tab groups and see what group had all the references to my question. I can then do this for several topics and keep things straight.

While I understand the point that they have money to burn, there are better ways to spend that money. Some items like “databases” are core to their SLA that it makes sense to invest. Build, source code management, etc are not “critical to de-risk”. It is not like Microsoft will one day refuse to sell them GitHub enterprise or GitHub actions because some division of Microsoft is competing with them.

This has not aged well since 2003. The amount of bloat in emails now is quite high since everybody who sends emails wants to use HTML with embeds while also inserting tracking pixels, images, links, etc.

The local part of an email address can also contain spaces if in quotes:

"John Smith"@example.com

In fact, the local part is a set of elements separated by dots, each of which can be quoted. The following is valid:

Of course, barely anything supports this.
I am building an django webapp helping to organize the learning of a musical instrument.
I have long held the position that the role of subreddit moderator should be elected by their respective communities rather than handed over to the first person to grab the namespace. There's no reason this position couldn't be determined in real time either. If a moderator does something against the wishes of the majority of the subreddit members it should be possible for the community to immediately replace the moderator. Blockchain's propensity for governance makes all of this feasible but I highly doubt reddit will ever implement anything of the sort. Political and monetary incentives are already too deeply entrenched from the top down to ever allow the power balances to shift to something truly meritocratic.

What is the benefit of assuming things about other people whom you do not know?

I brought what clothes I had previously purchased myself from a minimum wage job I held for a few years prior. Growing up, if we wanted something, we worked for it (physical labor beginning around age 13). After moving out, I didn't eat much/well for a while there and got into debt because I didn't have a stable job/steady income for years to come.

When I realized that the subsidized housing that I landed was contingent upon providing "favors" to the landlord, I elected to go homeless at age 19. Couchsurfing, van life, camping, etc. Way of the road...

A couple years later I would file for bankruptcy flat broke - financially & morally.

The story continues for years of trial and tribulation without any familial or government support because I realized that dependencies are antithetical to personal growth and development. Eventually, I started my a company and during the first three years I worked on that for 60 hrs a week while netting less than minimum wage (eventually it paid off when I sold).

No-one is an island. It was because I opted-into (and out of) certain situations and relationships along the way (and developed proper human relations + work ethic) some amazing people extended their support at the right place in time. They will never be forgotten and are reminded to this day of the roles they had in shaping my world. I earned the trust and respect in every one of those relationships, those breaks, and those helping hands.

Establishing self-agency is step #1. Learning and living a life of self-reliance is #2. Once you accept, understand, and embody - there is nothing one cannot do and that is my message.
Cocktail recipe and execution tracking for home enthusiasts. I started 1.5 years ago when my in-laws were visiting, the local version with good modeling and Admin input took 2 weeks.

The public, user facing data input, and production deployment, is taking the other 18 months :)

You know the saying, it is 90% done, now we only have to do the other half.

But I recently restarted. As of yesterday the app actually runs on AWS Beanstalk, although with its attached RDS. I have a coworker now that’s really into cocktails so I feel like I am building the site for him.
Hmm, i had no idea. It's a derivative of our Founder Summit branding. Trailhead is the start of the path toward the summit. Also I like to hike.

I think it's a generic enough term but we'll find out!
There's a lot of companies that rely on automotive manufacturing that aren't in the automotive industry.

Some of that workforce would be categorized as being in the industries of manufacturing, engineering services, chemical products, electronics, etc.

In Michigan, for example, there are many hundreds of non-automotive companies who rely on nearby automakers for virtually 100% of their contracts.
Looks great, I think I've read about this before!

Just FYI, the CSS for your homepage appears to be intermittently 404'ing. Could be a failed release and your static manifest being out of date on one or more of your running backend processes – we've had this before with Django.

That's what you'd hope for, but in practice that's not what I'm seeing. The anger I see online is directed at politicians in some cases - but usually for said politicians supporting social programs, pro-immigration policies, and anti-gun policies.

In the rest of cases, anger is indeed directed at LGBTQ+ people - especially towards trans people - people of color - especially blacks, and increasingly Asians - and women - especially those who are viewed as "promiscuous".

There's also a huge difference between recklessly doing all of these things, and responsibly doing these things. Not necessarily 130mph wheelies, but lane-splitting is perfectly safe as well as practical, when done at a normal speed and practicing good distancing. It's far more dangerous to be sandwiched between two idiots staring at their phones in traffic.

Most if not all of the inherent danger of motorcycles is due to the existence of cars, driven by distracted people. You can mitigate just about all risk of riding a motorcycle. When I want to be an idiot on two wheels, I'll go mountain biking, or downhilling, or ride my dirt bike. On the street I keep my ass as safe as possible.
What is interference? A bit of history. Several years ago, as part of an internal project, we tried to create a data analysis service that meets the following minimum requirements: - as simple as possible integration with an existing java application - support for persistent data storage - indices support
- support for a distributed database and distributed operations, such as the ability to insert or modify data in a database from any of the available nodes

- the easiest cluster deployment

- transaction support

- basic SQL support with complex event processing and stream SQL support

One of the outcomes of this development was an open source product branch called interference. What can this service do?

Easy integration with java application. You include the library and then simply manage all the interference functions from within the java application using session methods, JPA annotations, queries and direct access to table objects. Interference is a distributed service. This means that this service can be used within a distributed cluster, or you can build a distributed event-driven application based solely on this service, without any additional services like coordinators and so on.

Now, we suggest you use interference as a distributed platform when developing data analysis applications.

Interference is not an RDBMS in the usual sense. You do not use JDBC or anything like that to access the data. Instead, direct object-relational mapping is used that works directly with persistent storage and remote event transport mechanisms.

Minimal common insert performance on standard i7/4core workstation is up to 10000recs/sec on indexed table with UC constraint check and up to 50000recs/sec on plain table w/o any checks.

In the next time, we plan to publish an article with a detailed review of the service architecture and performance metrics.

Now, read the documentation for a detailed understanding. We are always happy to answer your questions.

Perfect advice to create a conservative society afraid of any change or new idea.

I do; write your CV, provide references. Build a portfolio website and/or blog and just write about things you have and are working on, issues you ran into, etc.

I think most developers find their jobs interesting and have a lot to talk about, even if simultaneously they don't believe what they do is much to talk about.

Note to self: Do some writing again. i started a portfolio site on Github years ago and started to just word vomit about my earlier projects and jobs (internships, school projects). It adds up over time.
