Perhaps useless was too harsh. But the point I was trying to make is that in a situation with so much uncertainty and where the downsides are constrained, it's better to act and get real world feedback. Doubly dangerous to blindly believe in the plan and execute it well if it's flawed. You're right about your conclusion though. Trouble is, it's often only possible to tell ex-post-facto.

Wait a second. Shouldn't the magic of the "free market" mean that fire insurance explicitly does not hide the cost of living in someplace that has a fire issue? The insurance company has to take in more than it pays out, even considering that they invest the premiums to maintain buying power, or juice profit margins a bit. In general, your premiums should be roughly equal to your risk (amount of loss, weighted by probability of loss), plus a bit to go toward the company's bottom line.
It also doesn't help that nobody teaches you proper form for holding a pencil. You start a sport, you're gonna be made aware that there are ways to do the sport that immediately hurt, and that there are ways to do it that won't hurt immediately but will fuck you up for sure in the long run, or even the medium run.

There are ways to hold a pen or pencil that will fuck you up in the long run for sure, and most people hold one in these ways. I didn't learn proper form until I was in my twenties, via lore passed on from master animators I was working under. I've since seen the same knowledge in places like "old penmanship manuals" but it sure was not a thing I was taught as a kid learning to write.

Fountain pens, you kinda have to learn decent form to use. A Bic? You can write with any kind of grip, even one that looks like you tied your fingers in a knot around it.
https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html lists sign-up pages and newsletters as off-topic. Even with zero comments there was the chance it was deemed not a fit for the Show HN category.

It's curious that on the one hand founders are told to start with something super basic to check user interest, and a landing page promising something (which may or may not exist) is such an option. On the other hand Show HN requires something ready and filter submission that only promise but hide the product.

Link to the archives helps, removing Show HN, too.

I humbly but strongly disagree:

To me it just sounds like learned helplessness but I don't even agree with the premise that we have been helpless. We have a thriving PC ecosystem with Linux and BSDs, most of which I would consider no less secure than my iPhone; in fact, those are the platforms on which we backup our private data.

The issue has been the incredibly fragmented landscape of mobile computing. The free mobile ecosystem has never had the chance to mature because it did not have a reliable foundation (like PC-compatible desktops[0]) to continue building upon. Android too suffers from it, and now Google is trying adopt mainline Linux[1]. Practically, developing a mobile device/OS has been a Sisyphean task.

"Algebraic effects" seems to just be a fancy/confusing name for resumable exceptions. FWIW, resumable exceptions have been used in the past but it seems they have been seen almost exclusively as a net-negative.

>>pentel energel 0.7mm.

Thanks for mentioning this

I am currently on the lookout for new pen to make my standard usage pen.

My prime requirement is that it should be 1.0mm, or at a minimal 0.7mm, since I love the thickness. Secondary requirement is that it should be smooth.

I bought Baoke gel from Amazon and while I loved it a lot, was greatly disappointed to find it was of Chinese make.

Am now searching for something that’s of non-Chinese origin. So far, I have zeroed in on Uni-ball impact 1.0mm gel pen, and am shortlisting their 0.7mm gel pens as well. I would also give uni-ball 1.0mm and 0.7mm ballpoint pens a try as well in case I feel gel pens get used up faster, since always carrying a backup refill can be an inconvenience.Also, TCO with gel pens is always more than ballpoint pens.

Does anyone have any suggestions in mind?

1998 sounded much more reasonable to me than 2003. But that is because, I for some reason thought that the streissand effect came to be following the Mecha Streissand episode of South Park

That is some rather shallow analysis. For example, in the first image, two interesting things stand out to me. 1, apparently you have to choose how you will use Notion before you start using it, which isn’t really a choice you can make with any confidence at that point. 2, both options are labeled “free” but with a qualifier, as if that helps me make the decision rather than create a vague feeling that I’m walking into a pricing trap.

Instead of breaking down these things, the article just points out that Notion didn’t use irrelevant illustrations.

Well, I disagree that it's ("click trolling" -- did you invent that?) a problem here. And, given that mods are the ones who tolerate it, if you think it's a problem, you can bet it's going to continue to be a problem. And, trust me, you're not going to convince the mods here of much of anything. I have tried.

Edit: Yeah, I just googled "click trolling" and found zero instances in the first 3 pages of search results suggesting the usage you're implying, except your original comment. That tells me you probably just made it up, and, by the tone of your comment, it suggests to me you made it something that sounds objectively bad.
I'd disagree - but I'm talking about the difference between a 1Ghz clock and a 5Ghz clock - it's always going to matter at the cutting edge - if the clocks are equal then what you're trading off is pipeline depth - which effects all sorts of stuff like the cost of mispredicted branches (and as a result the sizes and complexity of branch predictors)

I've been in tech for 15 years and am starting to become cynical. For me, I no longer want to work on what others want me to work on. I want to use my skills to do things that interest me and provides something back to society. Find something that engages you and checks all of your boxes.

I've seen most people fall into one of two categories:
1. Live to work
2. Work to live

A lot of my friends who are in the "work to live" category find joy in their hobbies. I fall along the first, so without hobbies, I put everything into work. If it's not fulfilling, I get bored and want to move onto something new. Do some soul searching and rediscover your passions and interests.
It's great to see Drew getting into Gemini and contributing to the space, as well as promoting it. He has a larger audience then most of the other people using it, so perhaps more people will find out about it.

One of the reasons why I enjoy Gemini is because it lends itself so well to efficient terminal browsing, which the Web never will. It feels fast and simple when I browse in the terminal.

I created a terminal browser that's to my liking, and although I have lots of GUI browsers installed, I mostly just use mine, Amfora.

If you know Kotlin already, starting a multiplatform project is pretty easy; it's mostly just Kotlin. I've done a few small things with it. Mostly the sweet spot is doing those things for which multiplatform libraries already exist so you don't have to reinvent wheels.

For a two pizza team, I'd recommend not overthinking it and to just give it a try if it makes sense for you or not if it doesn't. Hard to tell; it all depends on your requirements and how good your people are.
> You can't just arbitrarily stop at some point in this chain of trust!

And you shouldn’t. There should be a possibility to verify at every single level, even if it might require special tools. Independent verification is the key to trust. But users can also choose to stop at any point if they so wish.

> - Software that makes the Clock app tick and the Weather app give weather information has no business in the Right to Verification.

Actually, such software should be verifiable and open, too, because otherwise it will have too much power over user, just like any software. It’s basically what Stallman says, and every time users start to use proprietary software in any form, it starts to do things against their will. Power corrupts.

> with everything opensource, the world would be worse off. Innovation would cease. Free low-quality stuff everywhere

I do not see how you came to this conclusion. A lot of free software is of higher quality than the proprietary alternatives. Care to elaborate? You are also using word ‘free’ as if it’s about price. Free software is not gratis.

> but when it comes to technology and abstract concepts - it would be a total chaos if every user had to keep their own key safe.

I fully agree here. The solution however is not to choose an almighty emperor that has infinite power over you, but to allow users to choose whom they trust and change their mind. I trust Purism with my hardware and software, but I also have the power to change my mind and pay someone else to develop my software, since it’s FLOSS.

I didn't say anything about drilling, just that you can have a minimum and maximum range.

This can also give you a minimum and a maximum for when the project is done. This is actually very useful in large projects, because it lets you identify upfront what are the greatest factor of risks of a project.

It didn't want to be a discussion of how management is done, just to highlight that having a time range seems to provide more information to management, which is usually what's desired.
I have to admit I kind of was confused on how this ties to React when the examples aren’t even in JavaScript. If it’s a useful concept for React but the examples can’t even be clearly expressed in JavaScript the whole point of the article is lost on me.
It's incapable of conveying anything if the civilization is lost. Maybe the mound builders had an incredible understanding of the land, maybe they didn't, but we can't say they documented it, at least not in any way that's transferable to the future or discoverable by a foreign culture.

Maybe I'm moving the goal posts and I'm not trying to do that, so I'll leave the immediate topic there.
>It’s not their obligation to do so.

I respectfully disagree. If you're making claims, especially in a discussion that is perhaps contentious or controversial, it is absolutely your responsibility to back up these claims. We shouldn't have to do all the work to decide if true or to begin debunking them, especially if the evidence for your claims come from unreliable and shady sources.

If the response is "just google it", or "the facts are out there" then I'm flipping the bozo-bit on you.

As for who came up with asymmetrical risk, great question. I'm not sure where I heard it first? I think it might have been Vinod Khosla of Khosla Ventures.
You're correct, but from my understanding shifting the trust to the FPGA is a productive move as an potential attack is much more difficult to execute. Bunnie explains on his blog [1] better than I can:

> The CPU is, of course, the most problematic piece. I’ve put some thought into methods for the non-destructive inspection of chips. While it may be possible, I estimate it would cost tens of millions of dollars and a couple years to execute a proof of concept system. Unfortunately, funding such an effort would entail chasing venture capital, which would probably lead to a solution that’s closed-source. While this may be an opportunity to get rich selling services and licensing patented technology to governments and corporations, I am concerned that it may not effectively empower everyday people.

> The TL;DR is that the near-term compromise solution is to use an FPGA. We rely on logic placement randomization to mitigate the threat of fixed silicon backdoors, and we rely on bitstream introspection to facilitate trust transfer from designers to user. If you don’t care about the technical details, skip to the next section.

For what it's worth, the consensus on /r/fountainpens and other fountain pen enthusiast sites is that you risk receiving counterfeit Lamy Safari pens when purchasing from Amazon. These fakes often have poor quality nibs and ruin people's first experience with fountain pens. The recommendation is to purchase a pen through a reputable dealer so you know that you are getting the real thing.

There's a post here on Imgur [0] regarding an individual's experience after receiving a fake on Amazon if you want to compare the fake and original.

NEON is guaranteed to exist on everything, and this means you're never going to see Aarch64 replace the Cortex M0 and M3.

That's fragmentation right there. Severe fragmentation. Two completely incompatible ISAs.

Small 32 bit RISC-V comes in smaller and lower power than An M0, and small 64 bit RISC-V is not much bigger than an M0 and is rather popular controlling something in the corner of a larger 64 bit SoC.

As long as you’re okay with politics leaking in. There isn’t a sub of any significant size that doesn’t become a reflection of the leftist echo chamber of the larger community.

Mods can surely delete comments that outright state anything political, but they don’t control the fact that the votes are controlled by the community and the votes favor things that fit in with a particular political world view.

All this to say, a vote-driven platform with an overwhelmingly one-sided user-base is not a great place to host a community.
Sure, I think it will continue being a problem. I've seen this being misused here more than once. I'm not trying to convince the mods of anything though. Just pointing out the issue.

Click trolling describes this behavior. If you have a better term for it - feel free to propose one. What's objectively bad is disagreeing, clicking "downvote" and cowardly running away without commenting. How to call that is less relevant, you can call it any way you want.
Other than stylistic improvements & UX optimisations, the next big "landscape" might be AR.

Ask HN: I'm building a search engine for devs. What do you search for on Google?
I'm building a programmable search engine for developers and trying to find out for what things are developers searching on Google most and what's the biggest PITA.

The search engine I'm building will let you create, share, and install extensions (similar to VS Code). Each extension can add more functionality. For example, there's an extension that lets you search in NPM packages, another extension lets you search in StackOverflow, another lets you connect your cloud platform and search in your infrastructure, another in your company internal docs, etc. There aren't any ads, SEO, content marketing, tracking, or personalized content. All extensions are open-sourced. You pay monthly for the service.

The search engine isn't a typical search engine as is Google. It's a desktop app and the goal is to have it deeply integrate with 3rd party services that developers use often. A use case example might look like searching for something like "set up static IP address for VM on AWS". With Google, the results are websites explaining you how to achieve your goal. With the search engine I'm building you can connect your AWS infrastructure and the results are actions that allows you to achieve your goal right away. An action presents you with UI. In this use case, the UI will let you assign an IP address to your VM. You are done in a few seconds.

Here's the website - http://getsidekick.app/.

The short-term goal is to launch an MVP version with support for cloud platforms where you can search for and perform actions like "SSH to instance" or "List load balancers", etc. Then add support for more services and learn more from developers.

Yeah, rest days are incredibly important. If you wrote until your hands are tired and then did not write again until you were fully recovered, perhaps you could do something akin to weight training for writing. That isn't what anyone actually does, though.
Hello there,

I am a big movie buff and I was growing frustrated of getting the same recommendations again and again. I have been working on this idea of a more accurate movie recommendation system for 3 years based on attributes (Plot, Mood...).

Usually recommendation systems generate suggestions based on all the movies liked by the user, but my intuition is that a person likes different types of movies (e.g. no-brainer movies and film d'auteur). So I believe the recommendations would be more accurate if we generate them at the subgroup level.

Many time I hit my head against the wall and I feel relieved, but, at the same time, exhausted of working alone on this project. Even more so as I have new challenges (marketing the idea, creating a community...).

The service has been launched recently here: https://www.tastoid.com/

I was wondering if you could try it and share your feedback.

The good news is that you can import all your IMDb, Criticker, Trakt and Letterboxd, once you subscribed and get your personalized recommendations right away, short link: https://www.tastoid.com/user/movie-suggestions/ or https://www.tastoid.com/user/tv-suggestions/

If you'd like to get personalized suggestions:
1. Sign up, link https://www.tastoid.com/account/signup/
2. Import your ratings or rate/like at least 3 movies above 4 stars
3. Go in the Recommendations page and refresh after a few seconds and tada!

Another possibility without subscribing:
- Find similar content: Enter the title of your favorite movies/TV shows to get recommendations, short link https://www.tastoid.com/search/movies/similar/ or https://www.tastoid.com/search/tv/similar/

- Search movies by mood and streaming provider: Go in the Explore Page and select some filters in the right (e.g. Captivating Chases and Races, link: https://www.tastoid.com/search/movies/?page=1&Mood=Captivati...)

- Describe in your own words any aspect of the content you are after in the search bar (i.e. "nostalgic coming-of-age movie teenagers 60s" or "eastwood in a western", link https://www.tastoid.com/search/movies/?page=1&search_multi_m...)
