Hey, thanks for the feedback.

Gantt charts are not my preferred way of mapping out a vision and direction. But like some others stated, many orgs just like to work with that. It's also why I chose it as the header image, because it's familiar.
Kinda bummed out that would keep people from reading the article, but not I can't cater to everyone.

Cheers!
The push by people who identify as "conservative" to move to unconventional social media platforms. Parler being used to replace twitter. BitChute being used to replace Youtube. Gab being used to replace Facebook and so on. Seems to have gained more mainstream acceptance to move.
Your critique is based on your interpretation of the laws which is in many cases clearly incorrect.

Take for example 15. It doesn’t say people judge by the beginning and the end, but by the peak and the end. Or 4 - representing Hick’s law as “make it simpler” misses so much nuance that the key point is completely missed.

It rather seems like you barely skimmed the page before deciding to shit on it for arbitrary reasons.
Yes! It's something I should definitely add to the article. Thanks for pointing out.
Java is slowly getting good enough for those of us that have to deal with mob development while wanting to enjoy a little bit of FP programming in the process, if the optional brace syntax goes through, that might that be the final straw for those that haven't yet moved back to Java or started to find new loves like Kotlin.

Almost all money going out of a business can be deducted from money coming for purposes of counting taxable profit. I'm having a hard time thinking of one that isn't.

Because it doesnt work on current os (on mac atleast). Also adobe started to expect that you always have most current software so opening any file without current verion so working with others is no no.
> I want to pay a one off price for a stable and feature complete tool. I don’t want to fund a bunch of developers noodling around with new features I don’t want, or fixing bugs they should be patching anyway, as part of the original price of the software.

Of course you do. So do I!

However, the bunch of developers wants you to fund them noodling around indefinitely, and sadly they're the ones that choose the business model.

And as much as I like both, at the end of the day I will be delivering projects in Java, C# or C++, because costumers don't care how their pizza selling app looks like inside.
Absolutely that's tech. Metallurgy, force maps, 3d models, computer controlled machining, etc is in fact HIGH technology. To previous generations that's just plain magic, even if the user doesn't spend more than 1/10th of second thinking about it.
I was having a look at NVMe SSDs yesterday and noticed the cost per TB premium is now only ~4x over hard drives for a much faster device. How quickly should I expect my home NAS to be feasibly SSD only? I'd probably dump hard drives and never look back at ~1.5x premium. Is that soon?
I think what you’re really trying to describe is disruptive innovation. The way new technological development creates new market / business opportunities.

It’s not just about technology itself, but the relationship and timing between the technology’s capabilities and potential customers.

And you’re right, that technical skills will be invaluable to these businesses because in many cases, these technologies still have technical challenges to overcome before it’ll meet the customer needs, i.e. technical risk.

I think it’s great that you expressed your ideas, shipped it and then iterated on the clarity because many engineers with entrepreneurial ambitions will find your insights useful.

> The app store is in some ways like a government, and brings laws

And just like the laws made by the government some of those laws are unjust or even stupid.

Take the hemp prohibition as an example.

It is as stupid and useless as Apple's "law" which seems to make it impossible to provide open source apps in the app store.

Take a look at UTM: https://getutm.app/

Why on earth do you have to side load such a useful app? It does not make any sense.

The "we want your safety" statement is just useful for people who do not know any better. I do not want to be patronized like this as I am a professional user.
As a person with some understanding about economics I know this is about money of course but I am very interested in the outcome of this behaviour towards professionals who will turn their back on Apple when they go on like this.

Now they even managed to further decrease the value of their desktop OS - starting an app with internet connection takes literally seconds whereas they started in the blink of an eye on older versions because of their background checks. Awesome job @Apple :thumbsup:
That's pretty amazing.
This paper has some pretty graphic images. Not too far off in level of .. gore.. to some that might be shared on the disturbing misanthropic nsfl side of reddit or the like. Somehow, that these images are produced, and shared in the context of looking after people, they don't really cause the same kind of psychological disgust reaction for me. (also makes me feel not so bad about my current sunburn.)
Yup. In communist Poland even having a typing machine was a big no-no unless you were a registered writer (because why would you have it if not to make leaflets, and if you're making leaflets you are clearly anti-government).

If you're getting mail from abroad you're already on a list. If you're getting encrypted mail - you'll probably disappear.
Apple just don't do those things. It will be extremely unusual.

I also read the first article, and that was also my impression. Given that these argumernts are very week, I have a hard time imagining someone campaigning against DNSSEC.

>> And governments control the DNS.

> This is true, but that's an argument for not securing DNS, it's an argument for replacing DNS entirely. Governments control DNS regardless of whether or not DNSSEC is deployed.

I particularly agree on that point. DNS should be replaced by something better at some point, likely based on pet names. However, I strictly prefer a government-controlled system over a corporate-controlled one.

DNSSEC improves over some of the shortcomings, but not all.

> All secure crypto on the Internet assumes that the DNS lookup from names to IP addresses are insecure.

This is true, however we are still far from https everywhere, as browsers default to http. There are a few weaker arguments that can be made against this one.
I always considered custom ringtone stores a gross abuse of the customer. MIDI existed YEARS earlier, so did MP3 and MOD. There's absolutely no reason why I shouldn't have been able to load my own on the phone and just play it. Some phones had this, most didn't.

Aside: When I moved to SF for my first job in 2014 I thought I'd be working in "software". I was a bit surprised to learn that what I'm actually working in is "tech" (and that I'm something called a "techie" as well). It seemed to me that nobody really talked like this in college - you wouldn't say you majored in "tech", my fellow ACM members weren't "techies". Since we are almost always talking about software, the label seems a bit odd. I suspect it's the influence of finance that lumps all these industries together, but the work and environment is very different in HW vs SW.
Some users implement version control using the NTFS/Windows file history feature on shared drives where the projects are saved.
I don’t feel it’s fair to say that about Atom. RSS, sure; it’s a total disaster. And that’s kinda why Atom was made, and it seems to me to do a good job.

So given that, any chance you could elucidate on fault you find with Atom?
And if you don't 'visit' them in a month or two, someone else like you will visit them. Now they know their security is crippled, there is no way the patched all holes (system, process, operations) in such a short notice, and we know they can be blackmailed and pay big money.

The only way to mitigate this risk is actually walk the walk (implement appropriate security controls).
I had similar experiences, but with amitriptyline at the lowest dose of 10mg taken every night. At 25mg I was too drowsy. It drastically improved all of my chronic problems almost immediately - gut problems (IBS-D), inability to sleep more than a few hours, and issues with peripheral nerves.

Amitriptyline has a slight sedative effect compared to nortriptyline, which is good if you suffer problems with sleep, but has slightly more side effects.

I'm in the UK, and a GP at my previous clinic prescribed me this. Your doctor should be able to also, there shouldn't be a need to see a specialist.
I'm curious if Apple banning competing apps is a real thing or just something media/haters created to create drama. I don't have an insider looks, so I honestly cannot know how those things go down. Do you happen to know any specific details? Genuinely curious :D
Bug bounties work well for publically accessible systems, e.g. a site's web service. As a result, many of the more visible break-ins occur through phishing or spear-phishing and combine social engineering with malware as well as classical intrusion techniques from within the network perimeter.
Interesting. That looks like some quaint parallel world

I'm surprised that /etc/shadow was already a thing (ok 1999 is not that old) but that rwroot device I'm not sure what it can be.

> If everyone in my town gets 100€/month on top of their regular income, how will that not drive all rents/mortgages 100€/month up?

Because the issuer of UBI is going to pay for it somehow, and pretty much every plausible mechanism makes it, in net, a downward redistribution of wealth, not a flat increase. If you could guarantee everyone will rent only and exactly the same unit they rent before the policy, so that competitive forces weren't a factor, it would simply compress rents and, sure, even though it would be a flat increass, the opportunity for monopoly rents you just assumed would allow landlords to capture it all.

But realistically you don't have that kind of lock in, and local competition does play a role in pricing, so not only won't any induced increase be a flat across the board amount, it also won't capture the full amount of the increases (or decreases, depending on where you look) due to UBI, leaving the net income change still resulting in net change in what people can afford in the same direction (though not the same magnitude at pre-policy price levels) that the change in net income would suggest.
With the ungodly amount of money spent on SLS they could support and build multible large rockets easly. The SLS is the single point of failure you should try to avoid.

How about optional typing, even in some limited form (primitive types, primitive-only structs) with gradually adding more over the time?

I think there was some proposal already but it's probably dead now because I haven't heard about it for a while.
I still want to see some example pages that are done in Brick. Also want to see the pricing details before I sign up. Currently "Sign In" is the only option available there.
Nice site. With all the "focus" on micro-blogging and dislike for sites like Medium.com (I agree by the way). It might be a good show of faith, to let the users "export" their sites to MD or static HTML, if they want to host and have a copy of their website.

I saw that Leap Motion [0] video almost 10 years ago and have wanted to have one ever since. Sadly, it seems they didn't sell enough to sustain theirselves and have mostly concluded their incredible journey [1]. I had a few friends that worked in 3D modelling them and they really wanted to try it out for sculpting.

I guess actually swinging your hands around in air like Tom Cruise in Minority Report was too tiring for most people. I wish Apple had bought them and integrated them into the macbooks instead of the touchbar.

I agree with this. It seems pretty clear to me that SpaceX's key innovation is one of management -- namely rocket engineering using software-like iterative methods. The driving force of course is Musk, who comes from software but moved into hardware where we see the exact same iterative development at Tesla.

This is old stuff. They called it "skunkwork".
Most buildings today can still be effective designed and constructed from pen+paper drafting technology that adhere pre computer-revolution standards. They're not F35s. My understanding from architects/professors 20 years ago is the education pipelines has dramatically shifted away from practical training (i.e just solid drafting skills) while remaining some of the longer professional/masters programs. Most graduate simply aren't very technical in the first place and nature of work allows you to get away with it. Trades + associated industries involved in actual building aren't much better. Many in the industry, most are not what you consider "developer" types eager to adopt new technical features and workflows. There's just too much conservative regulations and stubborn old hands at the top of the industry.

Compared to other design fields where technical tools are everything for actually making the thing, there's a lot more excitement and experimentation in software progression in those industries, many of which are _tiny_ compared to the behemoth that is global building/construction industry. That said, Arch software aren't bad, they're serviceable but extremely unexciting. Adobes SaaS is pretty shit but they occasionally introduce "thank god" features that makes tasks 10 years ago 10X easier, can't really say the same for Revit and associated arch software with exception of ArchViz software since that just cannibalizes from rendering industry.
Thanks for the hard work! It sounds great, especially the allocation optimizations.

I didn't know why my code using views allocate memory, so I rewrote all my performance critical functions to return iterators (which is not that bad, as Rust uses lots of iterators, just Julia standard library is not optimized for them). At least now I understand what was the issue.

Regarding thread-safety I started writing a borrow-checker macro as a hobby, as I have been bitten by accessing mutable data structures from multiple threads. It's great that the macro and type system is so flexible that it can be done without modifying the language.
What if the software has an almost identical UI?
iPhones still don’t. You’re not allowed to make your own based on music-files or samples you have. Instead you have to buy custom ringtones in the iStore, if whatever you had considered to use is even available to buy (most often it is not).

It’s just amazingly stupid, and in 2020 there’s literally no excuse for such a software shortcoming.
No, that investment was for establishing good relationship. There were no attempts or discussions to marry or bridge protocols.
Depends on the platform, but I used to run AmIRC on an Amiga with a modest 68030 @ 50 Mhz :-) I think it did run ok also on a stock A1200 with a 14(!)Mhz 68020 processor and a couple of MB's of RAM.
The same holds for EDA (electronics design automation).
>FreeCAD etc has no "auto dimension tool" where you can manipulate dimension or set inter object constraints as in even the worst of the commercial CADs Solid Edge.

Unfortunately since I have only used FreeCAD and no other CAD tool I may not know what you are talking about but it is possible to create a spreadsheet inside FreeCAD and give each cell an alias which makes the spreadsheet basically act like a hashmap/dictionary. Every input field in Freecad can be filled based upon a formula. You can just <SpreadsheetName>.<variableName> as the formula and then changing the value of the spreadsheet cell will change the part.

>No assembly either or sheet bending tool.

There are addons for that and I agree that having a dedicated addon for everything is bad because now you need to know whether an addon exists for your usecase and how to find it. Someone who fires up FreeCAD for the first time is going to get disappointed.

Honestly, my biggest problem with FreeCAD is that it crashes and freezes on basic operations like chamfers and fillets. When an operation takes 20 seconds the entire application just stops responding. If the fillet cannot be created there is basically a 25% chance that it will crash. If your fillet radius is too large it will simply show nothing so now you have to play around via binary search to find the maximum value for the fillet.

The other problem is that curved surfaces are hard to do in FreeCAD in general. Of course there is an addon for that which makes it easier but I already have a backlog of addons to try out...
AFAIK most crimes in most "western"-like countries have a statute of limitations, after which you cannot be charged - say 5 / 10 years for light stuff, then 20 / 30 / maybe forever for more serious stuff, homicide and such.

EDIT: Important caveat - if they classify it as continuing violations, the time of the last one matters - though they still need to prove something in the acceptable time period.
I think you draw too many negative conclusions from this one comment :)

I wrote "ruined my launch day" because I understood him. He (& team) worked on their premium (paid) project at the same time but couldn't release it because they had a lot to do to maintain the main project.

This is a good thing, right? You want to use technology where authors will not sacrifice quality.

It didn't ruin the launch in any other way. My Show HN had ~300 upvotes and #2 Product of the Day on Product Hunt, so pretty good results thanks to the technology & community that Adam created!
I put together a 'RRMartin' setup on an old laptop - booting into DOS and then auto launching WordStar 4.0. I can see how appealing it would be for focused writing (I'm still trying to find my perfect set up for writing).

I also toyed with releasing the setup as a USB boot image, but the copyright on WordStar is still very much active :(
Whilst technically true Brexit has been happening since 2016, and people and companies have been making decisions based on it.
I dont know full time designer who doesnt have problem with adobe. They take monthly fee and updates to software are so minor especially on classic tools like indesign and photoshop. They dont tackle the important hard problems like performance and stability instead they add some new gimmicky features 5% of users ever use and make new software that again anyone rarely uses (except XD i guess). Adobe classic software has been on life support before the subscriptions even started. Nobody was upgrading CS3 even ran much faster than CS5 and had most of the features. Its probably the reason why they made the subscriptions.
> Or do we just say "If they're not on Kicktreonattrpaymo when it's on my mind I guess they don't want my money"?

Yes. I don't owe them a business model, they're the professional here, it's their job to be where I want to pay them.

> And I know that my ledger's clear and doesn't depend on when I decide to get around to kicking a donation over.

There's no ledger here. If you want to pay them, pay them, if you don't, don't. If that wasn't an arrangement they were content with, well, revealed preferences.

> If this is all about convenience, Spotify could probably largely solve the economic problems by bumping up what they charge 5-10x and directing additional listener revenue by specific listener choices.

What economic problems? There's no shortage of content being created, so evidently the deal for creators isn't actually that bad.

That is absolutely valid option for anyone who wants to stay indie dev. The idea of being burried in redtape and weeks long business negotiations give me shivers.
