I went into this expecting yet another barrage of complaints about lifetimes, but was very pleasantly surprised. This is probably one of the most thoughtful experienced-programmed new-to-Rust reviews I've read in a long, long time. I frankly don't have much to add, except to say that, once you really understand the language and start building complex projects, this article really does describe the real issues you run into.
Maybe I'm not autistically analyzing this like other people in this thread. I just wanted to point out that the article mentioned taking young people's and putting it in old mice for better living. Currently the poor are exploited for cheap blood because many have no other option.
"Who you know" is about people being treated certain ways by the people they know regardless of reputation or underlying attributes.

We figured it out. They moved some of CSP/X-F-O to `extraHeaders` in a recent release and it was being rolled out slowly across the world, so we were on an early batch of rollouts. Works now.
Wow, this is a fantastic resource!

Three ideas for improvement

1. SUMMARIES & RATINGS

I've founded or been early at 6 different startups now, and in each I've felt so overwhelmed by all the things I need to know or think about, leading to a stack of 'articles to read / videos to watch' that never gets drawn down. I'd love to see crowdsourced or curated summaries for each article or link, and a rating system to be able to see which are a) staff picks, and b) community picks, so I can start with the highest quality resource. Maybe even bootstrap this with a summarizer bot of some kind.

2. PROBLEMS & SEQUENCING

Framing these according to what problem I'm facing would also be great. E.g. Getting initial customers, making architectural investment or not, etc. I'd love to be able to pick this resource up, put in the problem I'm facing, and get wisdom out.

Related is sequencing, because at different stages of company different problems come up. Would love to see a dashboard for my startup (or my role in the startup) that focuses on resources that matter to the problems I'm facing now. If this dashboard were built by YC, it could capture three perspectives side by side - internal company comments, internal YC community comments, and broader HN comments. That'd be fantastic.

3. COMMENTS & COMMUNITY STORIES

Finally, I think drawing upon the wisdom of founders / early stage operators with a comments system would be great. I love reading war stories from founders because they often do the job of tying a general principle to something that resonates with me. I'd be careful to frame the community in a way to get these types of quality contributions and not just typical forum fodder. A common use pattern on HN is starting in the comments section THEN moving to the resource if the comments seem interesting, and I see the same opportunity here.

Anything is possible. It can be done. My personal/professional opinion is that you are shooting yourself in the foot by eliminating what is otherwise a very handy abstraction between your business machinery and the underlying system that stores the data.
But you can throw blood away
Unsplash is an amazing service (my website uses many, with credit), but the tags are often wrong.

Have you thought about letting the creators and people with sufficient "karma" downvote incorrect tags, and suggest new tags (perhaps from an edited, limited ontology?)
Cube sats are probably the most accessible way to get involved, other than getting a job where you get paid to work with satellites. "most accessible" is relative, high altitude balloons check a lot of the same boxes and don't require a sponsor to put you on-orbit

I think they simply don't do it quite that way. If halfway competent.

Instead, when someone wants to get rid of an employee for a reason that might not be legitimate, they write them up for about a dozen vague and contradictory things, and then present it as a "sign or be fired on the spot" thing, whereupon the employee signs, either because they convince themselves they can salvage the situation, or they just need more time to job hunt.

Then after a little while, they do it again, so it fits into the normal framework of someone being put on a PIP and failing to improve.

When they quit or are fired, it's essentially impossible to challenge, because it wasn't just one or two tiny things, it was a whole list of BS, and the employee signed their name to it to buy time. Or at least it's intimidating enough I think few people would consider suing.
Well, sure, and like I said that rural WISP wound up failing because building and maintaining their wireless backhaul was too expensive for the number of customers they served (and they definitely did not have the budget to build a wired backhaul). In a dense area like NYC, where you can get line of sight to a building that houses an IXP, it is definitely easier to do.

As for ISPs selling service, it is not all that hard to get a contract. ISPs like Hurricane Electric will sell service to anyone who can be colocated with one of their POPs, and they are pretty widely distributed (they do not provide residential service and would have no reason to refuse to sell service to a residential ISP). Verizon and AT&T also have wholesale contracts that in theory a smaller ISP could use, and I doubt they would begrudge an ISP that is competing with them in some local market (especially since a small ISP will almost certainly not be able to provide a triple-play package or any form bundling at all, so the big players will always have the upper hand). "Enterprise" transit services can also be used, if you can afford the prices ISPs demand for those contracts (or more precisely, if you can effectively pass the cost on to your residential users). You may have to build out a backhaul to some large building where you can get a fiber connection, but that is not an insurmountable barrier to entry.
Show HN: Team Lead 101 – Manage and Grow Engineering Teams in Small Startups
I'm really not at all interested in people explaining to me how finding mentions of back doors in technology used in millions of computers is probably OK because it may mean something else.

Given US security apparatus clearly values and desire these back doors and have the necessary power to coerce companies to making them, generalizing the use of "back door" as a term for debugging or w/e seems almost expected.

Even if they are for debugging "oops it's on in production!" is a great cover because none of these companies will EVER admit back doors were required by the government.
Read the article again. It's not about that.

Hi HN,

Team Lead 101 is a book for software engineers who have been entrusted to lead their teams but haven’t received a guide on how to do this. It’s perfect for engineering teams of 3-8 people in small startups, where the structure of startups is flat with at most 3 levels: developers, leads, and C-level executives.

Right now the book is 50% off (at $14) until August 9.

Sample Chapters:

> The article literally says that they take blood from young mice and put it in old ones.

That's the study from 2005. The news here is that you don't need to do that. They found that "a special solution made of basic ingredients in saline and the protein albumin" also works.
The first Linux I installed was from a copy of RedHat that my father got for me from the IT department. At the time, it took me a while to set up, because I had no idea why there must be so many partitions, so many settings, so many options of this and that, and had to research each one on a slow internet. I understood about 50% of what I read, and scratched my head through the rest. Not to mention I didn't speak English at the time, so that the number of resources I could read was fairly limited.

When I first heard of Ubuntu, it was said to be quite a bit friendlier to install, so I tried, and pleasantly found the reputation to be true. It felt like someone had endeavored greatly to make my life simpler, including the installation process, the bundled software, and the default look of the DE in general (why I thought so, I couldn't remember). It showed a comically colored progress bar instead of screens of text that scrolled too fast to read. They even made it easy to dual-boot with Windows, without making you go through a whole bunch of partitioning stuff. I thought it was amazing.

Nowadays, I find most mainstream distributions to be friendly enough. Debian, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Mint, etc. are all pretty refined. The installers have different interface, but, if you just want to stick to the recommended preferences, it's usually straightforward.

So how does Ubuntu differentiate itself, in 2020?

In terms of the packaging, it's a bit mid of the road, not as stable as Debian/CentOS, not as latest as Fedora, and certainly nowhere near bleeding edge. In terms of DE, Unity is gone. Is it just Snap-enabled be default?
From another comment in this thread:

> paredit is only a shadow of what interlisp was: true structural editing
A market with no competition is a monopoly. They are characterised by extremely high barriers to entry.

You are better off finding something you are passionate about in a competitive market, then working out how you will differentiate and market it with the budgets you have to work with.
I found some of the science interesting in that book; my main memory is that Sinclair is annoyingly arrogant and self-centered. I returned the book.
I'm a business guy, so I don't know much about it, but looks very useful and easy! I have been off the game for 5 years now, but I used to run a magento ecommerce, and I think your software might have helped managing products listings and stuff like that at the time. You might wanna take a look at this costumer segment, particularly small and medium businesses. They probably have a process for this already, but your software might be a good replacement, even though they won't be actively looking for it because they already have something that works. Good luck!
That’s me. I’m that asshat. It’s called defense in depth. I recommend automating certificate issuance and renewal. It’s totally worth it.
Rich text editing is one of the harder problems I’ve worked on in software, which seems strange to type but... Absolutely, it’s a hard problem. I think I’ve done other things people would (I know I did) assume were much more difficult, but in recent memories that was definitely one of the biggest pains in the ass I encountered.

Come to think of it, I was basically hired to do that one thing because the existing team was struggling with it and it was blocking a launch.

Could well be. I've had Nexus, Pixel, then Pixel XL - since soon after the first Nexus.

I have replaced (due to hardware failures) Nexus and Pixel, under Google's warranty, which was 2 years. I don't know if they offer 2y hardware warranty everywhere, or only in AU because they're obligated to.

Either way - back to TFA, that 4A model is looking like the perfect upgrade for the original Pixel XL - slightly smaller handset, slightly larger display, 3.5mm audio jack, improved performance, more onboard RAM & storage, and lacking a hideous list price.

I would pay handsomely for a service that would find and dispatch a qualified tradesperson (electrician, residential HVAC, plumbing, &c.) that would show up when promised and get the job done. And would guarantee the work, pull permits, and get me a lien waiver afterwards. I really hate the time it takes to wade through online reviews, play phone tag, and deal with flakes and no-shows when there's something that needs to be done around the house.
Me too :) Theology can be a very fascinating topic when it is discussed in a reasonable and pleasant manner!
You can't lose your house. Maybe an HOA can fine you if you don't mow your weeds.

Recovering a lawn that is overrun with weeds is very expensive, time consuming, and hard work under the hot sun. A well maintained lawn only needs a few maintenance applications of weed killer every season, or can even be handled by hand. If you want flowers for the insects (I'm all for it) plant flowers. But just "let it go wild" never ends well.

Also, when it is time to sell your house a buyer is going to look at a wild lawn and just see a money/time sink.
Why are you seeing GPT-3 everywhere?
I'm also super interested in visual search - so it might be cool to add a kind of visual search engine to your site where you could upload a pic and it would search your collection for a similar outfit.
I'm a corporate lawyer and I've written an essay on this[1]. Contracts have surprisingly similarities to code. This means: what if the process of drafting a contract was updated to be closer to the process of building software? Definitely an opportunity here IMO.

xkcd is a webcomic about logic (at least it was in its initial days) and it has gained an extremely passive-aggressive (e.g. explainxkcd) hatedom that makes the Barney the Dinosaur hatedom look outright amiable by comparison.

Why does xkcd have such a strong hatedom? It's not because they love logic, lucidity, and symmetry.
That's exactly what he's doing. I can't remember why he hates HN though, but it's been that way for a really long time.
Sounds like a large organizational incentive intergration failure where subpieces are at odds such that they care more about dodging blame and outside of their domain it isn't their problem. "Not My Fault/Not My Problem" as a toxic approach making balancing decisions worse.

Are stressed out mice a better model for humans or a worse one?
Sounds good, thanks for adding that.

I think the ideal answer would be "if they tried to solve this problem it would be bad for them. Too distracting, and they'd half ass it because it isn't their focus".

Rather than "oh that little feature is on the backlog".
Maybe they’re worried about setting a precedent. I doubt they want Stadia on the Xbox.
I like your minimalist solution. Fleet tracking / management seems like a commodity business with a lot of players in it. How do you differentiate and win here?

He means there used to be a time when people would mail binaries to each other more often, before they got too big and DRM'ed for that.

There are still some spots with near-zeron light pollution in Europe, but those are getting smaller.

The most preserved one is surely around the Pic du Midi in French pyrenees. It is actually an Dark Sky Reserve since 2013.

And according to this map¹, North of Scotland seems a good spot too, among others.

xmake is a lightweight cross-platform build utility based on Lua. It uses xmake.lua to maintain project builds. Compared with makefile/CMakeLists.txt, the configuration syntax is more concise and intuitive. It is very friendly to novices and can quickly get started in a short time. Let users focus more on actual project development.

It can compile the project directly like Make/Ninja, or generate project files like CMake/Meson, and it also has a built-in package management system to help users solve the integrated use of C/C++ dependent libraries.

Nope, if both parents have the gene and neither has the disorder (e.g., both are heterozygous), offspring will get the disorder 1/4 of the time, be a carrier half of the time, and be clear 1/4 of the time.

If both have the disorder, the child will also have the disorder, but that's usually not the concern.

It will never become cheaper because VC scum needs to eat and pay thousands of developers to constantly rebuild their engineering playground.

Let's assume for a second that it is actually cheaper for the company (a very big "if" considering the profitability of current delivery operations), do you really think they'd just pass on the savings to you, as opposed to pocketing them and/or wasting them?
I'm not sure that's really relevant here because esm is just one of the transpilers for module syntax, it's not running native modules at all. The same can be achieved with the babel CLI or TSC etc. and the right configuration. But it's not really "ESM loading". It's compiling ESM to CJS and then running CJS. It's true that transpiling to CJS will continue to work, no matter what.

Officially the FCC maintains a list of internet providers that you can search, but it's useless. It has no knowledge about exact addresses, but only of census blocks. To show up in the list, internet providers only have to assert that they provide service to at least one address in a given block. In a city this is not too bad because the blocks are small, but even then service might be available a block from your house and still not be available to you. In rural areas it's a joke because the service might be available to a few houses miles away from you. And no, the providers won't tell you which addresses they do serve; that would be ridiculous.
