I got a 5 dollar Wordpress droplet on digital ocean for my work journal. I also use it to keep up with Wordpress, even tho I don’t actually extend it

The most feature thing for me is I can use my tablet. Dealbreaker otherwise. I’ve been looking at Notion but their iPad app was trash last time I used it

Besides don’t hunch and don’t get fat, “keep a journal” is what I would tell my younger self

While I agree that writing has its limitations and that a lot of non-written info is lost, I don't think the written part is the problem.

For if that were the case, YouTube would be a thriving beacon of clarity, when it clearly isn't. And as an effective counter-example of a only-written-yet-successfulish-conveying-meaning you have HN.

So no, communication by writing is not the problem.
> If we truly payed blue collar guys a market rate, no white collar jobs would exist, because what is the price for risking your health?

Isn't that exactly what we do though? Doesn't pay (very approximately) correlate with required skill? For example, compare the salary of a skilled carpenter with some of the lower skilled "tech" jobs. All of your examples (manager, scum master, programmer) are decidedly high skill jobs when compared to the economy as a whole.

(As far as software goes, consider that demand for laborers currently outstrips supply. Prices adjust to reflect that.)

What you're really describing (IMO) is that everyone is competing with each other and we all want to be above average. Going back to your tech industry examples, I've heard it said that the majority of programmers think they're above average.
Neurosymbolic AI to Give Us Machines with True Common Sense
In a sense, it's great that agriculture is only 3% of GDP. A disaster that would make agriculture much harder globally, would mean that agriculture would become a much _larger_ share of GDP, say 50%. And we would be worse off for it.

However, the studies quoted in the Wikipedia article take such considerations into account.

Measuring climate change impact by GDP is a good idea. It's not the only way to measure it, just one out of a number of useful ways.

For example, it is a useful way to figure out how much of our economic wealth we should be spending on fighting climate change:

US GDP seems to be about 60k USD per capita, or about 20 trillion USD total. Spending up to about 10% of that, or 2 trillion USD per year, on reliably fighting climate change might be worth while by that metric.

It also helps us to put into perspective the cost of programmes like the one talked about in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23770718 and make it comparable to energy efficiency campaigns or carbon sequestration, etc.
I am working on this very idea (loosely).

it is required to be an unoptimized Safari instance underneath, with zero access to any sort of GPU or Javascript optimization) but only a small fraction of handsets sold have been iPhones.

3rd party browsers have had access to WKWebView for a while now, so they get almost all the goodies Safari has access to. You can read all about it at "New Chrome for iOS is finally as fast and stable as Safari"--https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/01/new-chrome-for-ios-i....

The iPhone has a little more than 45% of the smartphone market in the United States, which is not nothin’: https://www.statista.com/statistics/236550/percentage-of-us-....

And there are over 1.5 billion active devices in the world--and growing: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/01/28/apple-1-5-billion-activ...

The number of devices running the most current version of Android is pretty small compared to the 80-90% of iOS devices that run the most current operating system. That matters for both web developers and native app developers.

For example, Android 9.0 Pie is only 32.43% of the installed base of Android users. Which means 60%+ are older versions that don't support the latest web features, etc: https://gs.statcounter.com/android-version-market-share/mobi...

On the other hand, iOS 13 is installed on 92% of all iPhones sold in the last 4 years: https://www.imore.com/ios-13-has-been-installed-92-iphones-r...

Anyone who’s website is used by US smartphone users by definition has a lot of iPhone customers.

Ah yes. If you think rust is bad, you are bad and you should feel bad. If your business logic requires little interlinked data structures or something else that rust doesn't allow, your business logic itself is at fault, your business is at fault, YOU are at fault, and you should verify your life integrity with algebraic data type in rust. Rust is more productive than Go or Python or Java or anything because if crab god yells at you you must have wrong design and you don't have any taste and you are std::real::life::programmer::stupid and you should #[feel(stupid)].
I think there is a move toward that, certainly for newer features as of several years ago (though they present their own issues to work out, see the deluge of permissions prompts for notifications).

Clipboard stuff is permission gated on some browsers at least already, I think. Autoplay disabling is an option for most (all?), though that's a little different.

The issue with introducing a permission system to an older feature is always a balancing act between increasing user control and potentially breaking older content.

While I generally believe in Google's altruism in their open source contributions, that good faith does not carry forward to any of their open source initiatives when it comes to Google Cloud.

Maybe I'm cynical, but it seems pretty obvious to me that Google embraces OSS with Istio, Kubernetes, etc only out of necessity and being a distant 3rd in the Cloud race, and this is their attempt at some sort of differentiator.
I’ve been writing ship software almost my entire adult life. Not everything I’ve written has been good, or successful, but most of it has shipped. Some of it has been quite successful; usually in ways I didn’t plan.

I remember a manager I worked with, once wrote on a whiteboard at our first project meeting:

”The #1 Feature is SHIP.”

That project was a difficult and ambitious one, with a huge amount of tension between over-structuring and over-featuring, but it did result in a shipping product that was quite good, and lasted for a number of years. It’s been decommissioned for years, but still runs today. My wife still uses it, and dreads when it will finally die.

The first version wasn’t what we wanted, but it grew into something a lot better.

I also worked on a project that was killed just before it was to ship, because it couldn’t meet spec, with all that “between done and ship” stuff.

To this day, I don’t know if we made the right decision, by doing that. I have never encountered any software that does what it did, anywhere near as well as it did.

Wasn’t my decision. I would have shipped it. I think it would have revolutionized the workflow, and set a high bar for everyone else.

In my experience, there’s a huge amount of work that has to happen, between when we declare it “done,” and when it’s ready to ship. It’s important to plan for it.

It’s quite possible to overplan, but, in my experience, it’s a lot more common to underplan.

Here’s a metaphor that I use[0]:

Shipping is boring.

Ever watch a building go up? A good prefab looks complete after three months, but doesn’t open for another nine months. It looks awesome and shiny, but is still behind a rent-a-fence. What gives?

That’s because all that interior work; the finish carpentry, the drywall, the painting, etc., take _forever_, and these are the parts of the building that see everyday use, so they need to be absolutely spot-on. The outside is mostly a pigeon toilet. It doesn’t need to be as complete; a solid frame and watertight is sufficient. They just needed it to keep the rain out, while the really skilled craftspeople got their jobs done.

I like to make stuff polished, tested and complete. I don’t like making pigeon toilets.

But that’s just me. YMMV.

Wow, playing the long game.
So let's say I run a few websites and do support the idea. I read that article and think "I should setup an .onion version of my site and then point to that". The article points to https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/setup/ - and I'm immediately lost. Setup a local webserver? Why would I need that? The documentation mentions that I have to configure the webserver correctly, but offers no details about that whatsoever. So that's not a good start.

https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/advanced/oni... works better, it shows the configuration, but assumes there is already an .onion address and does not point to documentation how to set it up.

Hey, I know documentation is hard. But this could be improved a lot. By now I figured out that I'd have to install Tor on the server (not my machine, as the docs stated), find the torrc (the documentation has to mention where it is), point to the localhost port active of the webserver, the .onion address is autogenerated (so this will be an unreadable mess?) and can be taken from a file the tor software generates.

And this:

> We're not going to cover how to set up a web server here. If you get stuck or want to do more, find a friend who can help you. We recommend you install a new separate web server for your onion service.

Just cut it out. I'm actually lucky enough to have friends that could help me with this, but what if I hadn't? Cover in the documentation what needs to be done, or at the very least don't show an attitude about it.

My best low-end setup was a network gateway running FreeBSD for traffic shapping and NAT. It was a Pentium pro II, out-of-the-shelf with 4 3COM Fast Ethernet and used to provide internet for more than 2k simultaneous users. It was the main server from an ISP where I used to give some consulting.
> It seems to me that others in the thread are describing a scenario where product is discarded because the price has already fallen so far that it is no longer profitable after accounting for various processing costs (ie things such as packaging and transportation).

I understand what people are saying. Unfortunately this just isn’t how things work. If there were a way for this to occur, prices would respond. Ultimately markets aggregate information and package it up in a single metric we call price. If all of a sudden there was a new future demand for some good, no matter how you frame it, prices will respond.

In a sense Rust could have tried to become a "tiered" language with 2 standard libraries: one low level that allows precise control on heap allocations (including custom allocators) and another higher level that relied on a GC. They could both be used at the same time.

There would also be a compiler attribute #![no_gc] that make it so that you have to provide your own implementation of the GC runtime to use GC types. (similar to how executors work for futures)
I used a IPS-screened Thinkpad T42 (1.5 GB RAM, compact flash card in place of HDD) + RAM-booted Tiny Core Linux + Non DAW for producing radio shows for my country's public broadcasting. The T42's sound card didn't work, so a Zoom H1 recorder was used daily as an audio interface. I even used that machine to record something important outdoors with an Avid Mbox 2, but I remember feeling really uneasy as to how well this would work out.

I liked the T42 a lot (I still have it). All in all, I guess it is time for HN to re-discuss Joey Hess' minimal setup:

No. And I can't imagine what relevance that would have.

I mean speed is nice, but it is not the primary thing I am concerned with in a search engine, as long as it is acceptable it is not in the list of requirements - things that would be on my list - not necessarily in this order but close

1. What human languages does it support.

2. In these human languages how does stemming and decompounding work in your implementation.

3. how is word importance determined in your index - TF-IDF? other algorithm? Are least important words automatically dropped from queries?

4. Do you have ability to rank on both the stemmed/decompounded query/results and exact matches? So something like raw field access.

5. Can I create my own semantics - I remember seeing a post on here recently where someone had created a search engine (in Rust I think) that was faster than ElasticSearch but from what I could see you couldn't create your own field names so you were stuck searching in title, description, body, creationDate and a couple other fields which really decreases the usefulness.

I mean these are the things that right away spring to mind to ask about when someone tells me they have a new search engine, and when they show me look at my speed benchmarks I'm thinking "what am I supposed to do with this?"

on edit: formatting

on second edit: So I guess as in most things I am interested in how the product actually fulfills what should be its primary functionality, so how does the search engine function as a search engine, I suppose my questions could be answered with quick - our search engine has feature parity with ElasticSearch / Solr where features A, B, and C are concerned - features D and E will be supported in the future.

Shipping is important. It's a nice feeling to get it out there. But to imagine that if you'd just shipped it then everyone would be using your app instead of someone else's is nonsense. You're in full control of shipping. Getting distribution for your software - getting it to really take off - is super super hard. Being an engineer, I think we tend to gloss over this part.

I'm working on a product in a very crowded space (issue tracking [0]). Shipping is the easy part. The day to day grind to find distribution and drive more and more users to your product, that's the tough bit.

JOP is pretty neat and a good reminder that FPGAs enables us to make unconventional machines. Another impressive one is J16 which is an amazingly small FORTH machine.

Another commenter rightly noted that inflation is only partially driven by supply of money. The other factor is velocity of money, which is how quickly money is “recycled” within the economy. If that 40k is now going to investors who have a much lower propensity to spend it (likely) then velocity drops and so does inflation.
I don't think there were relatively unlimited resources, many islands were quite heavily settled. Tupaia, for instance, was born on Ra'iatea but had to flee to Tahiti due to conflict. He then went with the Cook expedition and taught them about Polynesian navigation.

It's very possible that some of the longest distance voyages such as the ones that found the corners of the Polynesian triangle in NZ, Easter Island, and Hawaii were triggered by conflicts with the losing group opting to go on an exploratory voyage.
I did. And it was not only informative but also hilarious.
Don't kid yourselves. Web target is very much early alpha for Dart.

There are so many obvious problems with it:

- Everything relies on 1500 nested custom elements with hardcoded transforms to put them in place

- This breaks default browser interaction with the page entirely. Because what may look like a page is actually a bunch of absolutely positioned controls with absolutely positioned canvas inside them.

- Scrolling, one of the most important things in a browser, is broken. It's janky and slow (manually re-implemented?). I'm guessing containers have to be explicitly marked as scrollable with correct sizes, because resizing the browser window does not make content scrollable (try it with the demo you linked).

- Text is broken. Because it's rendered onto a canvas. So, all text interactions + accessibility is broken. Fonts are rendered incorrectly. I mean, on the demo page you can't even copy code other than through the "Copy All" button.

- Navigation is broken. Navigating the demo apps (which have more than one page) is not reflected in the url, so the back/forward buttons are broken

- Keyboard navigation is broken. Nearly none of the elements can be tabbed to. Except some buttons in demo pages. I guess they are explicitly marked as such?

- When elements can be navigated to by keyboard, they can only be activated by Spacebar. Even though Enter also exists. I'm pretty sure forms cannot be submitted by pressing enter, either.

- iOS-style date pickers are clipped in Safari

- 2D transformations demo is broken in Safari

I doubt that you'll write a large Rust program without relying on refcounting at least for some of your objects. Refcounting is not fundamentally different than a GC.

You are missing all the second order impacts, such as conflict and mass migration.

From the Wikipedia article you linked:

> As stated, economic estimates of climate change impacts are incomplete.[31] Analysts have used integrated assessment models to estimate the economic impacts of climate change. These models do include estimates of some impacts, for instance, the effects of climate change on agriculture.[31] In other areas, models exclude some impacts. An example is the possibility that climate change could lead to migration or conflict.[31]
My understanding is that there is a faction in Google that believes that making Kubernetes freely available as it did was a massive strategic mistake on the part of Google[1], tantamount to giving away the crown jewels. With this in mind, my impression is that there is a strong suspicion that Google is trying to find a way to continue to control the direction and ability to monetize Istio (and future projects if this works out) which obviously makes IBM irate since it now throws into doubt a slew of potential business opportunities on their end.

I think this thread is full of people confusing absolute inflation with relative inflation (“inflationary”). A policy resulting in zero absolute inflation can be inflationary provided that absent such policy, deflation would have occurred.

I took this with OP stating (incorrectly imho) that a certain policy was not inflationary. I am not advocating that all inflation is bad.
