Ben, listen to your users and your heart. Competition is great as it validates a space and with a product like yours, there is more than enough room for other players. Best book to read for positioning yourself is Obviously Awesome by April Dunford. While you think Mailbrew is the competition, the real competition is “not doing anything”. As someone also mentioned, competition means there’s a need and may make it easier for people to understand what you’re doing. Every loves to harp on what makes you unique and sets you apart but do your users even know if any of your competitors even exist?

Highly recommend April’s book. As she puts it well, feature-rich might be considered complex, bloated while less features make it simple, elegant. It’s all in the messaging.
macOS can place windows wherever it likes, see Mission Control. It has APIs that can literally reach across processes so you can draw a window’s content as a little “view” in your window if you like, and apply the rich set of CoreAnimation transformations to it. What happens in a case like that is that the window gets placed in a new coordinate system that is orthogonal to its “original coordinates” (since of course it has no idea what would be going on without changes to the application frameworks) and moved and rendered freely. (Again, Mission Control was added with zero work or cooperation on the part of applications, even though they had the “window move” APIs from day one, which was many years prior. I would be entirely unsurprised if one could make a demo like the one you just showed fairly “easily”, barring private APIs and accessibility permissions and such.)
The Skylark Wireless radios are based on the Lime Microsystems chip. The lead developer at Skylark is the guy who originally wrote Gnu Radio Companion and went on to write SoapySDR and Pothosflow, as well as the first (useful) driver for the LMS chips. Super smart guy at the core of a super smart team. They’re big on open source and I know firsthand that the University of Utah is using their radios. I believe that page is just old, there’s a picture on that page that shows a box that I recognize as very early Skylark equipment.

The Constitution applies to independent foreign enterprises and state-owned enterprises that aren't under direct control of the state.

The Constitution does not apply if a foreign government "exerts sufficient control over [the enterprise] to make it an agent of the State." I don't know if it can be argued that ByteDance falls in this category, but there have been many allegations that the company works closely with the CCP to provide surveillance and disseminate propaganda on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.

Mean reversion.

> Mean reversion in finance suggests that asset prices and historical returns eventually revert to their long-term mean or average levels

The avg. 7% per year will break down into very good years and bad years. Let's say the S&P500 is already down -5% YTD and has underperformed over recent years, then you would it considered to be low, because you would rather expect the performance to increase in order to match the long-term avg. of 7%. So at this point you would happily buy in and expect mean reversion. But of course there's no such thing as perfect timing (except in hindsight) and no guarantee for mean reversion to happen.
Strongly agreed.

People keep saying "search", "search". But for me, no1 use case was making notes. Am I the weird one to make notes of my thoughts in books/articles as I read?
The risk of that happening would seem to be equal to or less than the risk of you getting robbed of your credit card, which also carries a risk of physical damage. Normal high-value piercings such as expensive earrings carry a greater risk of theft as they are much easier to covert to money.

As far as I can see, that device costs around $1000 (can't see the exact price on the page you shared because I'm not in a country that Amazon deliver to). I would expect it to be much, much better than a kindle when it costs four times as much.

Yep. For example, it's easy to make intentional memory leak in Rust using safe API, which is unsafe. However, it's also easy to find such memory leak. Rust cannot stop you from doing weird things, when you want this, but it can help you to prevent, or quickly find, weird things, when you don't want them in your code.

I have I think a 2nd gen Paperwhite and I feel like the main "problem" I have is that the reading experience is more or less perfect. It could be much faster and more convenient to shop for new books, but I rarely do that on the device anyway. But when it comes to reading a book, I am so used to the Paperwhite 2nd gen that I would pay a significant premium to get a like-for-like replacement than some new model.

If the command line arguments are getting to0 much, the next step is to use an config file, like an INI file and parse that.

Very simple and removes all the extensive command line clutter, especially if many settings stay the same.

> People do complain about these things.

But how do they complain? Compared to the tech situation, where you don't dare think it might be anything but sexism and oppression.

Here's an article in the Guardian about the topic.

https://www.theguardian.com/healthcare-network/2017/mar/01/w...

Some choice excerpts:

“Nursing is all about the empathy and caring that people show, but those traits are not exclusively female [..]”

Let's see, "Tech is all about logic, but those traits are not exclusively male".

“Men might find it harder to put into words their caring and compassionate qualities, but can demonstrate them more easily.”

-> "Women find it harder to express their technical chops, but they can demonstrate them more easily"

"When I was a ward manager, or sister, I did get some people saying: “Shouldn’t you be a brother?” But, actually, no one has ever commented on the fact that I’m a matron and a man."

-> Tech language is sexist and must be changed.

"Davies questions whether it is the work itself that doesn’t attract men, or whether other factors are to blame"

-> If you even dare to suggest that something other than horrible sexism is to blame for the imbalance in tech, no matter the overwhelming evidence, you are censured or fired.

How do you write the assert? I've not heard of that before.

Oh you mean `assert!(array.len() > 100); for i in 0..100 { array[I]; }`

I don't think that guarantees that bounds checks will be hoisted. It's just a strong hint. I mean in this case it will almost certainly work, but in more complexes cases it might not and the compiler is still free to emit bounds checks without telling you.

It would be nice if there was an explicit way of forcing an error if the bounds check was not hoisted. Similar story for lots of other optimisations - autovectorisation, tail call optimization, etc.

Some game developer made a good point that sometimes fast is correct, i.e. it's actually a bug if autovectorisation or whatever doesn't happen, so you really need a way to guarantee it.

Babies can recognise faces so I would definitely class it as low-level. Anything you can do as a baby is low-level.

High-level are things like reading and writing that are learned rather than evolved.
I really think it's this. Tech jobs are seen as the remaining 'good' jobs while automation and technology eats away at everything. So it is I imagine reasonable that the public at large wants the share of these economic opportunities to be diverse, like the population that the tech companies themselves serve.
I would usually be with you.
I feel this is an exception. For obvious reasons (it's urgent, it's important, it's more important than any of the usual medical interventions).

But also for other reasons.
Here's the thing: Once a covid vaccine becomes available I expect pretty much every expert on the topic to look at the data, to think about the safety and many of them will comment on it. If there are concerns about the safety of this vaccine then someone will tell us.

What I want to express is this: We will know plenty of things about how risky a vaccine will be. We will have to make decisions. Both as a society and as individuals. Those decisions won't be easy. But I'm not really concerned that we won't hear about the downsides of a potential vaccine.

The TTP is in fact direct confrontation, just not overt.
Making stupid 'errors' in headlines/summaries was a blatant thing in slashdot a while back (may still do, I don't know). It provoked plenty of rageposts, which I'm sure is exactly why /. did it, by people who never seemed to guess they were having their chain jerked. Again and again. It's why I stopped reading it. It probably works in some sense but it's a counterproductive tactic if you ask me.
But you can expose unsafe code with a safe API, right?

The point of the GP was that any safe code using this safe API could in fact be memory unsafe is there is a bug in the unsafe implementation.
Mutating global variables is certainly an anti-pattern, but I'm not so convinced that global constants are a problem; i.e. if we treat env vars like immutable variables (in fact I treat most variables as immutable).
So by this reasoning, if commenter responded with a emphatic "Am not!", that would somehow validate he's not a CCP agent?

Ask HN: Personality in Darwinism
Does Darwinism explore personality traits as a part of a human's (or other animal's) survival?

I was just browsing the web, contemplating the mysteries of the universe :) When it struck me as really odd when you sit and think about how Donald Trump's personality can be so off putting to so many yet so magnetic for others.

One of the interesting stories I recall reading about was "Angraecum sesquipedale" [1].

That was a physical phenomenon that was predicted (the long proboscis needed to pollinate the flower). For a split second a thought came to me "what about personality traits?". Are there any theories / branches of study which postulate similar "match making" between different people based on personality traits?

In one way you could think that maybe the people who are loyal to Trump are similar to him and that's why they love him so much. Then again, what if there's some hidden phenomenon where there are "counterpart personality traits" in people which naturally attract to one another?

Of course, their whiteness depends on the circumstances. They’re white when it’s time to complain about the oppressive white establishment, and not white when it’s time to talk about how they’re an oppressed ethnic minority.

It’s the same way that an Indian is an oppressed person of color when they want to soapbox about progressive race issues, but absolutely not when it’s time to meet the diversity quota, or fill out college admissions forms.
It all comes down to impact.

Removing an unused and long-deprecated interface is low impact. Removing a widely-used interface is very high impact.

When you have an interface that is nearly 25 years old and a staple part of every GTK+ application in existence... that's a very high impact change. I'm unsure how the GTK+ developers rationalised that one. But I am completely certain they made the wrong call there. It's too disruptive. I don't think it should have ever been dropped, or considered for dropping. Deprecated, yes. But not dropped.

I'm coming from the perspective of an end-user of GTK+: an application developer. Though I have historically also contributed bits upstream. I moved away from using GTK+ several years back at this point, precisely because the upstream maintenance practices were too much of an ongoing imposition, along with all the other criticisms one can make of it. GTK+ might be "free", but the cost of using it is very, very high.
The problem is that others will have to take the vaccine as well. Not to protect themselves, but to protect others. It would be nice if they could do that without (fear of) risking their personal safety.
As most of the replies have told you, this is almost certainly not insider trading.

What it is, though, is a Reg FD violation [0]. Kodak will likely get investigated and fined by the SEC.

You can look at Reg FD as the flip side of insider trading laws. Inside information is not meant to be leaked from the company to traders. If it is leaked and it's the trader's fault (he stole it or paid someone to steal it), that's insider trading. If it's leaked and it's the company's fault, it's Reg FD.

Yes, that's how I remember it. It's also worth noting that the fun parts of perl were largely replaced by ruby. The ruby one-liners and perl one-liners are pretty much the same. And eventually, gems got bigger than CPAN.

You're also right about mod_perl vs php. Shared hosting was really common and mod_perl was really unpleasant.

At some point it's just goodbye perl and thanks for all the scripts.

Have you actually done the experiment you propose? It sounds like a fun challenge honestly.

I have taught at least a dozen people to code. A good number had no idea what was going on for a while, but left knowing how to handle the basics.

Coding, math, and related subjects are made harder than needed by focusing on the abstract too much. Most of the concepts taught in a typical computer science degree are not difficult once you strip away the terminology.

I'm also not sure how you see these opinions stemming from an elitist filter bubble. I know what I know because of how I've been educated. Anyone who put in the same amount of work (within a reasonable margin) would know the same things.

What dimension is a dot?
In most common law jurisdictions there are two branches of law, very approximately the differences are: Criminal law, crimes like murder, rape, theft in breach of rules enforced by the state against all citizens, judgements result in punishments up to death, prison etc; Civil law, unlawful acts like breach of contract, libel, negligence etc, rules are enforced by the courts at the request of one citizen against another, judgements result in nothing worse than financial recompense.

Typically jurisdictions treat defamation and libel as a civil matter not a criminal matter. In civil law, in the UK at least, you need to prove damages against a 'legal person' i.e. a person or a company to be able to win a court judgement against the defendant. Hence most fake news cannot be fought in the courts as it is too hard to prove that it has directly caused damages to any one person. This is why you often see tabloid news stories about vaguely defined groups and hardly ever about a specific person or manufacturer. Stories about a specific person are much more expensive to produce because you have to be sure you have solid enough evidence to win a libel case, whereas if you make stuff up about a poorly defined group, e.g. 'migrants' there is no come back so it's a much cheaper way to wind up your readers and get more emotional engagement.
