A ton of Apple people participate here on HackerNews and errbody in the industry saw the post on here about the takedown (almost 500 comments on it so far). Apple could let someone sell a full Linux distribution to run on iphones that have “Developer Mode” enabled (which would also limit AppleCare+ liability for thermal damage/shortened battery life etc.) Such a mode might also reasonably restrict the device from accessing some cellular networks while apps that rely upon it are running, remember that is why Jobs originally asserted the crypto control over native apps —to satisfy PacBell (oh, forgive me I mean’t “AT&T”) concern about pressure on the towers in those dark iPhone 3 days before VZ and others stepped up.

I teach classes of ~500 students and classes of ~100 students.

While having individual projects is very nice and it works for smaller classes, it does not scale to average students.

I have once used individual projects to grade the ~100-student class and the amount of effort it takes is unbelievable.

For example, just your number "1." point, write a project proposal, is not so easy. It takes hours to write a good proposal and several back-and-forths between instructor and student to agree on a reasonable (not too advanced/not too basic) project.

I am sure we would still have some number of dairy cows like the lovely highland cows that this person takes care of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmBYs53quP8

Their population would be greatly reduced, but is having a billion consciousnesses in a mediocre state and potentially suffering somehow better than having a few orders of magnitude fewer consciousnesses that are properly cared for and living more "natural" lives? It is hard to say without getting into the details, but from a high-level utilitarian perspective, one feels that the latter is somehow more preferable, although doing any kind of arithmetic with souls is a risky business.
Here in India, we do get veg burgers. Those who prefer chicken burgers always goes for that even though it is priced higher(like 10-20% diff) than veg based burgers.

Also, we don't have pork or beef on the menu. Only chicken
A lb of soybeans is cheaper than a lb of meat. But that that is a small percentage of the cost of delivering a mcdonalds burger to a customer.

There is the cost of the bun, the condiments, the transportation, employees, real estate, advertising, paying people to ensure consistent quality, etc...

Even if the soybean burger was free you wouldn't see a 25x relative price movement in the cost of a soybean burger relative to a meat burger.
Good question. We have made a particular point of not involving traditional VC, at least not at this current moment (and besides YC). We're currently growing off of revenue, and had raised a small amount of money from angels only.
Oh wow. So it looks like that the reason why I suddenly got 'bad' at math towards the end of high school might be due to the switch to this hyper-formal way of teaching mathematics, instead of using a more geometric/physic way ?
I always wonder how much a liability a horse was during medieval combat. Sure speed and maneuverability are great but up close it seems that horse is quite vulnerable to attacks on the legs for example with long bladed weapons. You can’t really protect horse’s legs with armor
Hey Phillip, congrats on hitting the front page on HN.

Been using Gather.town at RecSys conference, and that was very exiting. I love the mechanics and UX, it reminds me Pokémon FireRed on GameBoy.

Just out of curiosity, how is your retention is doing? I understand, you probably has very heterogeneous users – some of them purchase one-time per-seat plan, some of them use it as an office replacement, but though.
My concern is how this 8-bit mechanics works in the long-term.If you can shed some lights on that, would be cool.
Every time I clean my downloads folder I find a few "(1)" strings appended to several duplicates I've downloaded by mistake. Mostly due to the UX issue you mentioned but I'm also mildly ADHD.

Kinda makes you wonder why browsers don't have a built in (content based) deduping feature. I'm sure some users actually desire this behavior now that they're used to it.

Can anyone recommend a Firefox extension that can dedupe and clean your downloads for you?

> The finished prototype I built created standard character-based unidiffs, and it sounds like could possibly be slotted directly into Pijul now.

The diff algorithm, acting on lines, is pretty generic in Pijul, but there is a crucial and nontrivial pass after that, to get from a line diff to a graph diff.
But will it come? Human is the top predator on this planet,no other animal comes even remotely close. We are hard to hunt, have lots of sneaky ways to avoid danger and cause maximum harm to those who try to use us as food. Personally I think the only reason that could change it would be some global phenomenon that would result in very limited options growing animals. Maybe then we'd go to making protein bars and animal killing would be a distant memory.
Any individual view on the religious merits of kosher slaughter isn’t necessary in determining its humaneness. The facts stand on their own. There is of course a separate discussion to be had on the value of ritual slaughter to an individual or group’s religious expression, but I think that needn’t be considered in order to determine that animal killing according to kosher laws is not an inhumane method of killing an animal, and it’s rules of slaughter were among the first and most enduring form of an animal welfare.

Also tangential to this entire conversation is the merit/morality of animal consumption whatsoever, and whether it can be morally defended in the modern context, but I think that’s also best left for another day.
What Is Mentoring and Why Should You Start?
> iterate rapidly is worth a lot more than not having a dev build crash after a while

You are missing the part about wasting hours or days to investigate the crash, easily offsetting the time saved with fast and loose coding.

It would be nice to see examples to judge whether a stricter language like Rust can save more time on the debugging and fixing side (by reducing mistakes) than it costs with verbose syntax and "unnecessary" safety mechanisms on the design and coding side.
You have to put back the creation of the group in context though.

Back then philosophers/mathematicians were kinda popular (think Sartre, Beauvoir and so on) so making such a group draw a lot of more public attention than it would now.

Sadly, I doubt that such a group could be created now.
I don't share the same experience. Crashes do happen but I wouldn't call the time sunk there a lot. If you get a ctd, usually a callstack and a bit of thought is enough for figuring out what is going on. At worst case you have valgrind. Very rarely it goes beyond that but even with that I would say it is a well trade off on how relaxed C++'s memory management is compared to Rust. And I believe C++ is relatively safe when you have well designed systems where ownership is clear enough. I have a feeling that if my company suddenly flipped to Rust now, the struggling against borrow checker would be a bigger time sink

For me majority of game development is feature development and fixing gameplay related bugs. Which will be same regardless of language you use. And depending on language feature development might be even slower
> You can't own a knife in many countries without a license

What kind of bullshit propaganda is that? There isn't a single country in the world that requires a license to "own a knife".

> let alone a gun. It's all tracked. There are targeted missiles, drones, autonomous guns, surveillance, radar, bombs, tear gas, tasers, tanks, bullet and knife proof clothing, exoskeleton, etc available to the knights.

However, there's a lots of things relatively freely available to peasants that can be turned into a bomb capable of killing any knight who's not in a tank. And even a tank can have a bad time in a city full of hostile peasants.

> Knights are many times more organized than they have ever been in history.

This is a the big one. Organization really matters to make the technological advantage count. And it ivolves knowing in what situations that advantage wouldn't work well, and avoiding them.
"They must like manual screwdrivers, we've had electric drill-drivers for years!"

What he doesn't seem to realize is that Emacs is more like a tool chest than a tool.

As soon as you go from the generic "mechanic's tool set" or "homeowner's tool set" to a toolchest you've created with all your screwdrivers in one drawer in plain sight, and your wrenches in another...

You know the immediate productivity boost of just going and getting what you need directly.

Most real mechanics add tools to their tool chest for specific jobs they've done, and common jobs start migrating the tools closer at hand.

This is all done organically and good experienced people can do things quickly and efficiently (and it works at any employer, cross-platform)

Doesn't mean these folks can't use visual studio or xcode. Or fix a flat on the side of the road with the tools that came with the car.
Whatever happened to OpenSPARC? I don't see any FOSS desigs based on OpenPOWER either.

Barbara Tuchman’s “A Distant Mirror” portrays feudal wars as essentially raids to kill some of your neighbor’s peasants rather than your neighbor (who was most likely your relative)
Good perspective, I agree.

One needs to pick the concurrency model and design up front. Document it before writing a single line of code. Then stick to the plan. It takes discipline, but it's not difficult.

I mostly write in C with pthreads and as long as one is willing to apply discipline to the task, there's no reason to fear concurrency.

If one starts adding a thread here and a mutex there and some shared structures over there without any prior plan then yes, absolutely, that leads to a world of hurt and a deep hole that is very difficult to get out of. So, don't do that.
Which makes sense given that it started with the settlement of the island by Helier de Carteret in 1565, well after feudalism in England was on the way out.
I see! I think another angle, is to first create a virtual analog of a workplace, but then since it's virtual, it's super flexible and easy to experiment with. I think there's only so far you can get with these questions, off reasoning alone.

Another example of a project I worked on, which was similar, was this VR office: https://siemprecollective.com/vr.html . We basically made a one-to-one mapping of our physical office in VR, and the idea was after we had that, we could play around and tweak things very easily. And actually being able to TRY these new experiments was the whole point.

PS: 5G UltraWideband is basically a WiFi alternative in US because of the way it is being deployed, so I don’t particularly think the “tower pressure” argument is valid anymore, just that it would be reasonable to allow the tower network operators to opt-out of full-on Linux on the iPhone/iPad.
I think I touched a nerve ;-) Founders want to do the most with what they can in their one shot, while investors can play faster and looser across their portfolio, such as burning $50K here on nonsense. Not all, but enough that this article + thread exists.
It's a design trade-off. Zig makes understanding the code with only local context a fairly high priority (also see their multiline string syntax), and that's more-or-less incompatible with user-defined operators.

This is a really cool app and useful. What I like the most is that one can pick multiple color points simultaneously. Your next level could be releasing a Chrome extension whereby we can pick colors from live websites. Just my suggestion.
What's your background? Why are you interested in this problem space?
I wish this was a more widely held understanding.

Document first, code later. Makes nearly all problems easy.

Jumping to writing code first is a future disaster in the making.
Cool! Maybe it's because it contains phase information which is not that relevant to hearing. FWIW I remember long time ago using it for image processing and the trick was to look at a sections of it, i.e. TC(p1, p2) where one of p1 or p2 was fixed.
How about actually treating them like respectable adults and using the honor system? If you start treating people like dogs, don't be surprised when they bite you. Woof.

Stop giving bullshit tests with bullshit restrictions, which is usually what drives people to cheat in the first place. Have you considered asking: what can I change so my students are able to successfully learn the material such that they won't feel compelled to cheat? Recognize that cheating students are a reflection of your apathetic educational strategy and ineffective testing model.

Here's an example of a bullshit test which exemplifies a few of the issues with apathetic educators: single-try tests. Students are only given a single attempt to demonstrate they've learned the material, with the result ultimately reflected in the final grade. The apathetic educator is unbothered by having failed to adequately prepare his students, despite his knowledge of their inability to accurately self-asses in an unknown topic. A caring educator would provide a way for students to diagnose and fix any gaps in their understanding in addition to as a path for them to raise their grade to an A if they demonstrate an understanding of all relevant course topics.
So long as the vast locale requiring traversal is barren terrain with no vegetation and a sufficient gaseous atmosphere medium for in-ground-effect air cushion (would not work in vacuum).

Depending on the local gravity well strength (variable per hosting body), a V2 engine horsepower equivalent may perform the same amount of work.

But would atmospheric pressure at ground level make a difference if we are trying to "ride the cushion" that exists because of sea level atmospheric pressure of the planet in the AirFish YouTube video?

Interesting read, thanks for sharing! I have played around with formulas for my Excel-like data table product [DataGridXL](https://datagridxl.com) for quite a while but I decided not to include the feature since it was a little more difficult to implement than I had imagined, exactly because of these update chain rules. Perhaps one day, in a v2.

Most other Javascript spreadsheet products are slow even without formulas, with a very slow DOM structure.

Imagine feeling this guilty about eating meat and not having the willpower to stop that you have to find borderline conspiracy theory articles about how vegetable oil is as bad for you as smoking cigarettes and how an impossible burger will give you kidney failure just to make yourself feel better about eating meat.
If your computation is pure, this can be modeled in Haskell with the Tardis monad.
During my flip through the many pages of the article (not sure about that navigation UI) I was disappointed not to see any reference to ISO, shutter speed, and aperture used for the comparison shots. Hard to draw meaningful conclusions without that data.
There is a big shop in Germany, Otto, that encourages you with a €1 bonus for every review that you leave for a purchased product. Surprisingly the reviews are quite ok and you can find a lot of products with 2-3 stars on average and anywhere from 10 to 500 reviews. The problem is they also started offering products through resellers (mostly the actual brands that make the products, but I'm afraid they will also turn into a marketplace soon enough).
I had discussion about it with Cedric Villani once and he told me that was not a disaster because of the books or the material, but the teachers were not good enough.

Eg. when teaching set theory, teachers were debating what should be a perfect representation of a set (is it an ellipse or circle... etc.?)
Children were completely lost because of this.

If you don’t draw a perfect ellipse to represent a set then you had a bad mark and so on and so forth.
In my uni they d just give stuff unique and almost impossible and just let us try and survive. They d read every code and ask for comment, sitting next to each student for 30 minutes of explanation.

Once they gave one of their research subjet on dictionary optimization and "the best they could do themselves" compiled to show it was possible. I went far enough (we had to also be constrained to 16-bit memory addressing) and decompiled their stuff with IDA to find a few more tricks and got a little bonus for telling them and reimplementing them.

Another time they told us "do whatever with OpenGL and we ll grade you relatively", ensued an enormous competition between students to beat each other with my team ending up implementing a counter strike map renderer with skybox, full texture, fast enough to walk around, and we got the best grade.

The last project, on the 5th year, was a semantic web video search engine a la youtube, with fetching, indexing, auto translation, knowledge graph, for a team of 40 students who had to split in various department with one team acting as product owners, for a few months.

I think there are ways to do exams that are meaningful and actually make you interesting in job interviews.

Mutating state is what computers are all about.

You can be super inefficient about it by copying everything on every operation. But avoidance is not the road to optimal solutions.
If Discord had the possibility of Slack's channel system (everyone can create one, you choose which ones to join) then it'd be perfect.

For a very small remote organization, Discord would definitely be my go-to choice to start with, but privacy concerns and the fact that it stops working well with more people involved would eventually be a blocker.
Do you realize how insane things would be if everything was charged as a percentage of value provided ?

So you charge, 1/4 of the value given. Should my IDE charge me 1/4 too? My ISP ? My computer OEM ? My electricity provider ? My renter ? My OS ? That's a lot of 1/4th.

VHF has been fairly boring for me except 2m sideband, which almost nobody uses. I had a lot of fun modeling shortwave antennas and putting them into real world use. Since I had decent antennas I also did SWL and things like oddity signal analysis, DXCC, antennas for lightning storms on Jupiter.

I still listen to Radio Habana Cuba english some nights on shortwave on my cheap chinese loop. I would like to get a QSL card from them.
Horse is a large animal IRL, killing it or even seriously injuring with a blade is not trivial. And when there's a knight with a lance or a longsword on top, you might not even get one shot at it.
I view health as the other end of the spectrum to war - with an open mind and open heart, found through practices to heal past unhealed/unprocessed trauma - and so spending on health and good policy regarding protecting and supporting health (preventative, proactive) you're in fact combating war (civil and otherwise); plus lead by example, role model.
