First, congratulations, thanks for publishing, thanks for sharing your experience!

Second, yes, maybe I was not clear, my advice relates to the average author on a simple straightforward method of write a book that reduces the odds of it not being of use of the audience it seeks.

Lastly, might be wrong, but it appears:

(A) at least on Amazon, your book appears to be rank in the top 20,000 of all books;

(B) you appear to have published a singular book;

(C) as you say, yourself, it does not make enough for someone to live in a major city;

(D) writing books is not your primary means of income;

—- to me, what I hearing does not conflict at all with my analysis and your example, to me is survivor bias:

Writing multiple best selling books year after year is VERY hard to do as a means of income. There are much easier ways to earn an income and share what you know. If someone wants to do that, awesome, though I do not have advice for doing that, nor do I know of anyone else that does; that would result in publishing 1+ successful books a year. My advice is just no nonsense take on being reducing odds of book being useful, which for the average author is much more of a challenge.
The black goo is bitumen, or tar. It is the binder used in road asphalt and was a common pitch used to seal boat hulls. The article focuses on the ritualistic aspect but doesn’t focus on the functional reasons. Sealing the mummified remains from the elements, sealing in the gasses and smells from mummification/decomposition, and gluing the sarcophagus seem like reasonable functional explanations.

Some statues are also covered with pitch so maybe it was also used as a theft deterrent. The pitch covered statues are the best evidence that the pitch was ritualistic rather than functional, in my opinion.

And I thank you for the link to the Spanish study.

Yes, modeling prevalence is complex but once you have the total estimated infected then finding IFR becomes trivial. Calculating SMR would be much more difficult.

Many (most?) countries do not produce reports in English but only in their native language.

When you search in the native language then it is easier to find relevant data. Especially when you catch the right keywords they use.
I also think the standard of “what is acceptable?” was much lower back then.
How difficult it is to build a B2B, white labeled software and charge as subscription for these shops? These shops can market the link on social media and yellow pages?

Is it because Deliveroo also is the default source for online order making customers? Curious.
Hard to justify spending €860 on a no-name brand when I can buy a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 with the same spec for €550.

Ok, it comes with Windows 10 and it doesn't have a backlit keyboard but neither of those things are deal breakers if I'm saving €300.
They used to have that feature, they used to publicly list content expiration They stopped doing that because people would unsub, and there were groups and communities around tracking the status of shows

They [netflix] ended that about the same time they ended their Public API and starting becoming a "Media Company" instead of a tech company, this is also the point in time they became less consumer centrist.
Reading this piece I think of some questions I'd like to ask the organizers of this experiment:

- What did the tutors want to accomplish?

- What did the students actually accomplish? What feedback did the give at the end of the experiment?

- Was the experiment itself an art performance? Maybe one of the "oldest" ones?
Pandemic Disrupts Illegal Drug Trade, Upending Both Product and Profits

On MacOS, I get randomly appearing and disappearing servers in the sidebar (they disappear usually when I need them) and "cannot be opened because the original item cannot be found" for already mounted shares. It also keeps permanently mounted "photos" share on my home NAS and bad things happen when I try force unmounting it (but if it disappears because I'm not connected to my home network, that's ok for some reason). This got especially bad in Mojave and Catalina; there was a period of time (10.15.0 - 10.15.2) when I had to restart Finder if I wanted to mount share that was previously unmounted.

Never happened that with Linux. What did happen that there was a period of time on some distributions (circa Fedora 28-30?), when SMB1 discovery didn't work because entire SMB1 was disabled. This was security migitation (EternalBlue/WannaCry/NotPetya) and Microsoft is doing the same in Windows 2016/2019/10[1][2]. In general, using SMB2/3 is good idea anyway, Linux distributions/Samba eventually enabled SMB1 only for client-side discovery, and you can still enable entire SMB1 if you need it for some reason - do you still have Windows 2003 someplace?

Scandalous weird old things about the C preprocessor (2015)
I don't think you'll find a realistic case where Java is thousands of times slower than C++/Rust. You're even less likely to find a case where it's a worse order of asymptotic complexity. Whereas you'll find plenty of cases where (at least 2008-era) SpiderMonkey is in a worse complexity order than V8.
To answer the bonus: Entlement (to growth)

Same as
- Volkswagen (dirty cheating cars)
- Samsung (exploding phones)
- Boeing (falling planes)

Eventually tech companies will join them. The signs are already there, the dirty growth tricks at Google and Amazon. It'll take more time.

The issue is that gains at performance (...environmental performance, form factor, battery density, etc) are not linear anymore - the investments to make further gains becomes increasingly more expensive and time consuming and all the quasi market duopolists and too big too fail national infrastructure companies are not able to grow slower- stock market dynamics would punish them, execs wouldn't get their entitled pay day, politicians would lose jobs, tax income.

And so corners are cut (Boeing, Samsung, Intel) or performance tests are cheated (all of the above) and slowly infrastructure of dependent industries (cloud, transportation) is built on more and shaky ground.

So why? Market concentration, entitlement, too big to fail dynamics, endless growth doctrine.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Yes, maintainers had to host servers. Yes, unmaintained repos disappeared.
> Nested loops are obvious in most languages, including C++ -- unless you happen to work with people who don't indent their code properly, but then you have bigger problems than the choice of language.

We live in a fallen world. In a large enterprise codebase there will almost certainly be parts that aren't indented correctly. And even if everything is indented perfectly, the sheer amount of stuff in a C++ codebase makes everything far, far less obvious.
Minecraft isn't a good example of your point, it's a better gateway to software literacy than most games kids of your generation were playing: from the logical circuits you can build inside the game, to at least learning how filesystems work by installing mods, and basic web server knowledge when you want a private environment to play with friends. Add to that some permanent or severely bothering consequences to the player mistakes and I think it might be the best video game for kids to play now (and Factorio/Shenzen IO when they grow up :).
Seems like a weird take on what a salary is to me. I don't know if this is an American thing, and linked to the way your benefits work, like health cover. But I don't see my employer as having any reason to know where I'm located (beyond timezone issues for working hours), or what lifestyle I support with the money they pay me. My salary is based on what price the market will bare for the services I provide, what I do with that money isn't really any of their business.

Actress and model Dakota Johnson has revealed that her 90-year-old grandmother still lives with a large number of large cats

Hollywood legend Tippi Hedren is 90 years of age and still lives with lions and tigers, as indicated by her granddaughter, on-screen character Dakota Johnson.
Show HN: I built a tool to see quickly when I last contacted my friends
Hey everyone, Michael, the creator, here. I'm an introverted guy, I love to be alone and do my things. Therefore I often forget to keep in touch with friends. Weeks later the person comes to my mind and it feels odd to reach out then.

To solve this uncomfortable situation, I've built an app that gives my an overview when I last contacted a specific friend. Because I think other people also struggle with this pain and could benefit from my app, I love to share it.

I would love to hear your feedback: features you would like to see, bugs you experienced, general ideas about it.
I agree. I would only add that when the problem space is not well understood, these cobbled together solutions can also give the illusion of working well, but being suboptimal in the long term they can accumulate large "missed-opportunity" costs.
This is where experience can make a huge difference.

EDIT: spelling
You are indeed very good at imagining a world where the only choices are the web exactly as it was in the 90s, and exactly as it is today. That's a rare display of creative ability, but also a false dichotomy.
> I'd define modern as using RAII extensively and using C++11 at least.

Then yes, I work on modern C++ codebases.

> As for algorithms, I honestly don't know what you mean. They're all documented online with respective big-O running times[1].

Nontrivial programming tends to involve implementing, or even inventing, some algorithms yourself.
I'm saying this in a polite tone.

But sorry. Anybody that equals key species with "little factoids" don't understand a single thing about ecosystems. Would be like saying that the motor of a car is an optional part of the car.

Wolves are boosters of biodiversity and change all around them.
I'd say, yes. You've correctly noticed in this subthread that government regulation is a solution to coordination problems. All kinds of situations that pattern-match to "it would be better if everyone were doing X, but X comes with some up-front costs, so whoever tries doing X first gets outcompeted by the rest" are unsolvable by the market (especially when coupled with "if everyone else is doing X, stopping doing X will save you money"); the important role of a government is then to force everyone to start doing that X at the same time and prevent them from backtracking.

To the extent you can imagine the market as a gradient descent optimization, coordination problems are where it gets stuck in a local minimum. A government intervention usually makes that local minimum stop being a minimum, thus giving the market a necessary shove to continue its gradient descent elsewhere.
Not paying for rent, no, but we have been issued a one-time bonus (100 USD I think) for whatever you need.

I think it's indeed a valid question. I am sympathetic to small businesses that can't afford such expenses, but I went from my amazingly ergonomic setup to sitting on a chair that doesn't provide proper back support, using a non-adjustable desk where my keyboard doesn't even fit.

I am worried about my posture and health.
Sadly I know people with a outrageous cable bill (hundreds of dollars per month) AND subscribe to 3 or more streaming services...
My experience is that it's easier than you might expect if you're doing things right (you have an interesting product and low-friction signup process). I recently started a university-specific dating app and had no trouble getting the first few hundred users, even with the actual matching functionality turned off.
So you're still calibrating your Ballmer peak? :)
Something you are unfortunately missing is that extracting user requirements is much harder when you are both remote. Asking someone to share their screen is far more disarming than asking if you can watch them complete a task in person. As is asking them directly versus bringing it up over lunch. Both remote options are also less informative without face-to-face communication. In so many ways, humans communicate and bond more effectively in person.

These interactions are critical for building an in-house software team at a small company that does not focus solely on software. My expectation is that the trend of outsourcing software will accelerate. This will help B2B technology-only companies but hurt innovation within industry. Because of the breakdowns in communication I first described, B2B technology-only companies rarely have insight on the largest challenges that can be solved by software.

I believe the author is referring to the year MMDCCLXXII. I have no idea where this 2772 comes from.
There are also special rules/visa (I do not know details but I have a few friends who did it and are still doing it) where you can create a company and hire Thai people, you can stay + pay (almost) no tax. If I remember correctly, the tax incentives expire after 6 or so years, but you can stay there as long as the company exists. One of the friends is there 13 years now and had no issues (besides the paperwork, but he paid someone to do that). But I guess you do need some money; just going there on a shoestring is not great anyway; I would want to be able to leave at any time when I want to (that's emergencies, not leaving for fun!).
A friend of mine is their marketing manager, they are doing ok. The long tail is really long ;) and services like Mubi have a pretty good (and often wealthy) niche to get money from.
Most places do partner notification vs provider contract tracing for HIV.

Other diseases such as TB generally get contact tracing under CDC guidelines - more effective and there is less stigma.

Partner notification in some countries with high HIV rates have shown somewhat poor behavior changes and/or notification rates - but health authorities there dont trace TB or HIV regularly given limited resources
As far as I can tell that information is for GitHub only.
> I am also pretty sure they aren't paying you for those rounds of Overwatch you sneak in between PR review requests

You do you. I'd never do such a thing as I consider it highly unprofessional. Don't project your behavioral patterns onto others.
No-code is nice, there is only one problem though. Computers are not getting faster. Sure they can handle more parallel loads with more cores, and in the cloud you can scale horizontally, but building parallel systems is hard, and the higher up in the abstraction chain the harder it becomes.
So the software might be built by some drag n drop tool, and it will look nice, but performance will be terrible, uptime will be terrible, and there will be weird issues once the software get many users.
Most malicious ISPs disable DoH (ex: Verizon) so it likely wouldn’t have solved this.

If you want it solved find a protocol that can be used in the libc resolver and make it ubiquitous rather than goofing around with browser defaults.
I think what we need is for governments to make sure that markets function properly.

In our industry that often means mandating open access to data and guaranteed access to APIs and distribution channels at reasonable cost under reasonable terms.

Also, we need independent dispute arbitration when it comes to accessing highly concentrated distribution platforms.
On the other hand, it makes the move to protect him more commendable. It wasn't just out of self-interest.

The problem is, autoconf does a terrible job of supporting Windows, and actively rejects patches which would improve things (for example, it does very badly with spaces in filenames, which are common in Windows, for example "Program Files" and "My Documents")
That's in cities right? I know most people want to live in cities, but if you don't, I don't think that would be an issue.
But salaries aren't a living allowance for living near the office, they're what you negotiate with your employer as compensation for your work.

It's your business whether that's a lot or just enough for where you live.

If your company cuts your pay because you moved, even though you already worked remotely with the same working hours, you have some deficiencies in your relationship to work out.
Isn't Gnome 3 more or less the same?

I at least felt Gnome 3 was about the same only it was possible to configure it.

My plan was to use the Pop OS edition since they actually had put some thought into shortcuts.

Another DE I actually enjoyed despite being initially skeptic was Elementary OS.

The picture suggests this is Super_L, a key most people use all the time. Typically you use it to open some global menu or shortcuts related to your window manager.

Windows devices normally have a Windows logo printed on that key. Purism just decided to print their logo instead.

I've read it.

It says: 'We’ve built an esoteric application (even by Lisp standards)'

The application was considered by the author to be esoteric in 2015, not the programming language.

Quote: "Our Lisp services are conceptually a classical AI application that operates on huge piles of knowledge created by linguists and researchers. It’s mostly a CPU-bound program, and it is one of the biggest consumers of computing resources in our network."

The application is the compute core of a cloud-based grammar checker with lots of complex lingustic knowledge, which generates a lot of processing load.

And "(even by Lisp standards)" just means that there are other applications in the Natural Language Processing domain, which were written in Lisp, like software to do machine translation between language or text content checking systems for technical documents.

This extension comes at a good time. Just a couple of weeks ago I was wondering how search would feel if you'd remove all news sites (mainstream and otherwise).
This would be a stronger argument if a majority of Hong Kongers had agreed that they wanted to be a Chinese territory in the first place. They didn't get to pick - two governments, neither of which the people chose, made the decision for them.

You can argue that they didn't choose to be a British colony either, but nevertheless they were and many generations have now grown up in that system and internalized those values.

> If people who have passports of other country, they have a choice if they don't agree with this change

What about the millions who don't have second passports or any real option to leave? They have no legal avenue to effect change; are they just supposed to sit quietly and take whatever gets thrown at them?
Been thinking about County Clare near the sea.
The way I see it, the fundamental problem is that the producers of these systems don't want them to talk freely to each other. Every vendor wants to control the conversation (and when you see someone calling their product a "platform", you know they want to control all the conversations in a given sector). E-mail is the lowest common denominator that works, because it happened in the age where computer technology was developed to coordinate, not to compete and control.

Conversations between systems is an easy problem, in the same way translating English to Mandarin is easy if both people are also fluent in Hindi - they can round-trip through the shared language. Systems designers can also negotiate a common protocol. It doesn't have to be automated, it can work just as well with some programmers continuously keeping the protocols up to date. The problem is, there's a strong business imperative to not do any of that.
