> soil is a kind of organism.

Surely, like a sourdough starter, a patch of soil is a small _ecosystem_ ?

I say "small", but bear in mind how numerous microbes are: dry yeast is said to be around 20 billion cells per gram. There are far more individuals in your sourdough starter than there are humans on earth.
I couldn't agree more about the difficulty of grokking somebody else's tool.

The thing is though it took me a long time to get to the level where I could put something like this together and I wish I could have had some sort of guidance earlier on.

That's why I've tried to make my implementation modular, so others can take the things that they haven't figured out from mine and implement it in there workflow.

I should get around to documenting it so others can take replicate, imitate or fork it.

So you believe collaboration is good, even when it comes at the cost of measurable results?

I feel the opposite. There is too much cross team collaboration that "feels good, doesn't do good". OKRs cuts through the BS, and makes you evaluate if your collaboration is actually doing anything measurable. Focus typically has this effect.

> testing whether we actually look at the code and not just rubber stamp his changes

I've actually put in some er, "brown M&Ms" in my code before sending it off to review, because I was sure the people reviewing my code were like "oh, he wrote it so it's probably good". I think what would've helped in that case would be anonymized code reviews & comments, where the names of the author / commenters only pops up after it has been approved & merged.

Actually I think that should be a feature everywhere, e.g. in Github issues. That way it becomes harder to judge e.g. comments / issues / commits based on the person who made it. Pseudonyms are nice, but you still build up a 'reputation' over time. But it'll probably have to be an opt-in option per user.

I'd pronounce it as "Doris", maybe adding "-with-an-e" but a French person would pronounce it "Dohreeze" according to the internets.

Dunno if that would make an American lean toward "Dorise" rather than "Dorize" though.

> In stock market you're not playing against other people, including the "pros".

In one short sentence, you showed why people are hating on RH.

When you buy or sell a stock (or option or whatever), there is a counterparty to your trade. That person is making the trade because, essentially (in an oversimplified way), they believe the opposite of what you believe regarding the value of the underlying stock. One of you will be wrong. You are precisely "playing against other people", because without those other people, there will be no market.

> If you pick well, then it doesn't really matter if other people (including "pros") pick the same company or not because there's enough future growth for everybody.

While correct, this is shortsighted, and it is precisely why people (rightly or wrongly) suggest investing in an index fund. The issue is that the benchmark for successful investing is beating the general market, not zero. Specifically, if you aren't beating the market or some proxy thereof, you are paying an opportunity cost by investing inefficiently.

Most professional money managers do not beat the market over any reasonable time frame (although they may mitigate certain types of risk relatively effectively), and the folks who sling stocks on RH or TD Ameritrade or whatever also do not beat the market over any reasonable time frame (certainly in aggregrate, and disproportionately true on an individual basis).

> And I have much less reverence towards pros than you.

I actually think this lack of reverence towards the pros is a good thing, but probably not for the reason you think. The pros who exploit less sophisticated counterparties don't advertise this fact very much, if at all -- it is not in their financial best interest to do so.

There is terrible group-think on Wall Street, and there are niche firms that make a killing exploiting this group-think. I consider these niche firms the real "pros".

> While I'm not playing against the pros, I sure am getting better returns than 90% of them.

Your reference time frame is way too short if you actually think this is true. If you think you can scale your returns that beat the market over the long term on a relatively small eight figure fund, you stand to make many millions for yourself, and I recommend you make some friends in the financial world ASAP -- the money will find you. I will bet the don't on your ability to produce market beating results over the long term, since it seems to me that you don't even really understand the basic mechanics of how the market actually works or who the various players actually are.

That said, best of luck.
What about evening classes?

Cool product! I've seen many indie analytics tools recently.

One thing they promote is privacy. Which is important indeed. But another aspect could be the simplicity of them. Google Analytics is just too huge. We often need only a couple of key metrics.

For example, Simple Analytics is really nice I think (doing $6.2k/mo):
https://makehub.io/startups/simple-analytics

But it starts from $19/mo. I feel it's too expensive.

Another one I recently discovered is Plausible (doing $1.8k/mo):
https://makehub.io/startups/plausible

Starts from $6/mo, which is a lot better.

I love that your product is self-hosted by the client. Are you providing updates for them?

Same; some exceptions are when I write things down to turn into a presentation or blog post, or if it's like notes / actions from a meeting.

That said, for me writing things down does help me organize my thought process.

Another thing that I do think is beneficial but directly work-related is writing ADR's (https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/architecture_decision... basically technical documentation, one file per decision (architectural, language, library, etc); I can start those as a stream-of-consciousness ramble, then add some research / alternatives, and finally do some formatting and commit it into my project's repository.

From there it'll take on a life of its own, I'll reconsider things down the line (most recently, replacing Reach with React Router because the former is end-of-life and in retrospect had some quirks I ran into). My hope is that when more people join my project or take over, they'll be able to read it and understand where things have come from, and then add their own ideas to it.

Of course, they'll likely opt to just ignore it entirely because tl;dr show me the code.
AFAIK MPEG-4 experimented with encoding 3d objects but it never took off. As usual for MPEG they did not specify how to get the 3d data from a scene but how to encode them, actually how to decode them, so that innovation could happen on the encoding side.

The idea is so obvious that I would be astounded if this company gets anywhere. I'd wager many research teams already attempted this and were never heard from again.

Also note that video compression is pretty impressive these days. A typical 2 hour 1080p movie compresses down to a handful of GiB. Compare that to a typical 1080p action game which is easily ten times that big, because storing all the meshes and textures takes a lot of space, it turns out.
And, should have used Chebyshev polynomials. Or if you look at libc, you'll find coefficients for a hand picked optimized polynomial that minimizes error evenly across the floating point domain.

Actually minimizing error in the floating point domain is a really cool subject. Intuitively, you want the most accuracy when you're close to zero and the mantissa is 10e-37. When you're in the region with mantissa 1, +- 10e-10 means a lot less.

One "trick" is to approximate a different polynomial, and then multiply by x, since x itself is naturally distributed across the floating point domain.

E.g, instead of approximating sin(x), approximate sin(x)/x distributing the error evenly between +-pi/4. Then multiply by x to get sin(x).

For cos, cos(x) gets small and difficult at +-pi/2. If you look at libc, you'll find lots of if statements that apply different hacks to preserve accuracy depending on how close to zero the result is.
In genomics land its less an object store and more DB built to house giant but very sparse columnar data (think the position of genetic variants in hundreds of thousands of people) with support for interval operations and some other genomics things that traditional DBs don't support.

That said, we evaluated TileDB for genomics recently and found it lacking for our use case.
There's plenty of reviews and comparison posts out there; it would help if you would cite some of them and explain what you think is wrong with them.

My take: usually they're written by the note taking app themselves or an employee thereof. The rest is people who went for one app (usually emacs org-mode, lol) and are evangelizing about it.
It's fascinating to think about it. We put into writing almost everything we experience from the world. GPT-3 demonstrates that if the model is big enough, it can produce intelligent answers, much better than GPT-2. It can fail spectacularly, but humans can do that too :)

It was also shown that it's scalable, so there's no reason we couldn't make it an order of magnitude bigger if we wanted to. That future system might be a game changer for search and AI.

Then we just have to ask great questions like "what is the meaning of life the universe and everything" and watch the loading animation for 7.5 million years.

It's probably not that far fetched to think that this is the Fat Man bomb of AI. China, Russia probably already allocated resources to build their own model. The arms race is on.

The risk is low, but if it's your livelihood, you would be foolish not to consider the issue. Just like paypal: everything is fine until it's not, and then you are stuck with absolutely no avenue of appeal.
This is exactly why I prefer the Nespresso, there are so many variables to control with pulling my own espresso shots and I really don't want to be bothered with any of it.

I just want a consistent, fresh, and marginally professional espresso without having to become an expert at all the above. It also goes without saying that getting all these variables dialed in, for the most part, doesn't even happen at local coffee shops. There are a few in my area, but they're all at least a 10-15 min bike ride away.
Who is the provider and how long have you been with them? My go-to low priced VPS host has been a little flakey lately.

You can also approximate a cosine with a polynomial https://wordsandbuttons.online/sympy_makes_math_fun_again.ht...

This works fast, doesn't use the cache, and performs reasonably well precision-wise. It also has very small error in +/-PI/2 so, unlike with the Taylor's series, the continuation is virtually seamless.

Moreover, since cosine is symmetrical, you can throw away the even coefficients completely and it will become even faster.

One nice feature of Vimeo is you can prevent a video from being accessible (streamed, embedded, etc.) on anything but a list of domains of your choosing.

Mux doesn't have this feature (yet). The best you could do is sign every video and have it expire after X time. This can get quite complicated and is less secure since it's only restricted by time (IP address isn't an option either), but due to the nature of how it works, you need to make the video accessible for a bit longer than the duration of it.

If Mux were to add domain restricted security features, I think I would switch to them because having the option of using a custom player is nice for niche content.

> Your average medical practitioner does not do research.

Depends on how you look at doing research. If I keep going back to my GP with various ailments we’ll keep trying things until we either figure out what is wrong and fix it, or we find some kind of medicinal dose that makes the pain/discomfort manageable.

I don’t think that falls under ‘suggest things at random’, ‘make the patient go away’ or ‘refer to a study’.
I eat and drink pretty well. Expensive wines, organic food, barista made coffee, I go (went) to Michelin restaurants, drink good whiskey, I enjoy a good barista made coffee and few things are as nice as getting it in a nice café. I've also had espresso machines and done the whole thing proper.

These days I just have a Nespresso machine which makes great great coffee and if I run out i just drink instacoffee. Once in a blue moon I will have coffee beans lying around and I will make coffee press.

There are coffee puritans out there but they are just not the majority. Nespresso coffee with the right machine and the right flavour is just as good as any barista made coffee.

And with regards to waste, Nespresso offers free recycle bags if people want to be environmentally friendly their is nothing to hinder them (my guess is that most don't really care)

Nespresso offers a great product, great service I don't think there is any risk of them going out of business anytime soon.

My partner works in VFX, and watching them work during quarantine, the experience was poor to say the least (aside from the speed from which they went from "remote work is not even an option", to it working).

This seems like a good step forward, but I think the real potential is in building the frontend software to be as lightweight as possible, to run on any computer, and just put the previews rendering on the cloud (so for example, instead of wasting bandwidth streaming ui elements / desktop interface you could just send actual useful data)

Edit: another good point of this model, is that for example, occasionally workstations turn off / stop responding / etc.. I don't have much IT experience and know how much you can mitigate that, but they had to often had someone still on premise to fix things. Going completely cloud based would be much more "quarantine" friendly in that regard...
