Well I think the fact that you're a nice person who made sure the secretary was taken care of is great!

But I wouldn't start generally inferring that it makes sense to take secretary jobs at startups on the chance the founders decide to pay off my mortgage.. Baremetrics is a more typical case, I would think.

Million Dollar Hackathon Winner: ‘VC Robot’
What about pizza and lasagna are even remotely comparable? I really like pizza and really hate lasagna. Hate, hate, hate it.

Seriously, I don't know what it is about the lasagna form but the best tasting ingredients on earth end up tasting like garbage when assembled into a lasagna. I don't get it...

Pizza, on the other hand, manages to be mostly enjoyable in its many different forms, including cheese-less (had that once at a fancy restaurant).

They are basically opposite foods from each other as far as I'm concerned.
Considering how many wrongfully convicted people you'll find here in America, I'd say it is exceedingly common.

I'm not sure of any free speech "purist" that conflates the government with private parties. Regardless of how much "power" or "authority" the private party has. In fact, by every measure I've ever seen, a free speech "purist" would specifically say that Twitter has the right to amend, change, alter, or provide any opinion they so choose, no matter how much "authority" they may or may not have.

Every free speech "purist" I've ever met limits their opinion of control to the government.

‘Revolutionary’ algorithms underestimate risk to patients
Some non-technical founders will just make stuff up. If they think it's a "small change", it may as well be done, so they speak about it as if it is. You correct them and you are ignored, or they tell you it's just for a high level discussion, so it doesn't matter. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're not. It is a very fine line between stretching the truth and exaggeration, outright lies. As "technical" people we try to be precise on our language and want statements to reflect reality.

Yes please. Finding a “see also” link to one of those is the best, because you know it will actually show you how to use it. Otherwise you’re probably on your own.

For example, Previews are one of SwiftUI’s major features. Here’s its docs page: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/previews

You could read through that and all of the linked pages and still have no idea how create a preview. Want to preview it on a particular device? Well, I can see there’s a PreviewDevice, it’s initialized from various kinds of strings, and absolutely no information on how to apply it.

Turns out this is a SwiftUI modifier that you chain off of your view inside the struct that adheres to the PreviewProvider protocol. See example here: https://www.hackingwithswift.com/quick-start/swiftui/how-to-...

Could you construct that example from having read the documentation? I doubt it.
I personally probably owe them both numerous dinners and drinks for their time and patience with me on certain emotional hotbutton topics.

Thank you both for your work!
I'm sure you've seen drs. so I'm not going to get into too much detail about how I fixed my back pain, but I understand where you are coming from. I couldn't stand up straight for months. Laying in the MRI machine long enough to get a good image was excruciating. Just getting comfortable each night to sleep was an exercise in frustration. Narcotic painkillers didn't really help me, but a pain that never goes away helped me understand how people do get addicted to pills.

Finally, I had one of those injections directly on my spine and it was like magic. I walked into the appointment and couldn't stand up straight and walked out like I had never been hurt. For weeks, I would wake up each morning and dread getting out of bed because I wondered would this be the morning the pain came back.

It's been years now, and knock on wood, I hope to never have a problem again. I was always a weight lifter, but stopped powerlifting (maxing things like DLs), and stopped playing basketball. I still exercise a lot, but my entire focus now is on longevity. Strength is still a key component, but so is flexibility and learning proper movement.
Lots going on in this space. Key is data quality and frameworks to scientifically evaluate the impact of previous interventions so we can learn from previous projects, which can be seen as natural experiments, and avoid repeating past mistakes. Many many things to do as outlined in the concluding section of that paper, many thanks for sharing!

Six of JavaScript's Biggest Design Flaws
Oh, I'm glad to hear, it really is a good book although you have to get it used.

Part of the reason I clicked into this thread is if I have been fasicnated with Finland, especially the last 12 months or so, so you caught me at a time when I have Finnish history particularly close to my memory :) I am reading a book by the same author AF Upton presently on the Finnish "revolution" (peaceful) and civil war. I read a winter war book at the start, also good. That's all my Finland knowledge, beyond wikipedia.

I don't blame you for defending Finland, it is a wonderful country, one of my favorites. I don't think of them mainly as German collaborators or anything. They did have to defend themselves against some pretty terrible USSR behaviour. Cheers.

PS Do you watch any Aki Kaurismaki? Great Finnish filmmaker, lives in Portugal these days.
Amazing, apparently Facebook are willing to help out if you want to threaten someone, or at least, they aren't willing to check ads shown on their platform before publishing them.
The idea is that its installed separately from windows, in the same way one might install java.

So because you can have mutiple versions installed, or you can package it with an app , then the updates can be more rapid.

The problem with .Net framework is that everything, including system services rely on it - that means it needs years of testing and can't have any breaking changes. Basically they decided that packaging .net as part of windows was a mistake.
For the things I print, color doesn't really matter.

Do I care about the color of the airline logo on my bording pass? Nope.

When I print driving directions, do I care about the colors? Maybe a little.

Does color matter for recipies? Not really.

I still got a color laser printer during lockdown to replace the inkjet that I can't print to with Chrome OS anymore (thanks to Google killing Cloud Print). It wasn't too much extra to support it for just in case, and color toner won't spoil by sitting like on the inkjet.

> Who here can visualize an apple in their mind, literally seeing it as if existed and was being perceived by the eye (a sense organ)?

Everyone. What you think you are seeing as a whole is your hallucination based on fragmentary sensory input. Same for everything else you think you see around you.

Doing it without corresponding sensory input requires practice, drugs, sleep, unusual brain development, or other techniques, because hallucinating things not there is suppressed for obvious reasons. When that suppression fails, we see things not there, such as Elvis on a piece of toast.
Documentation? Apple doesn't have any tools to create it.

Sorry, there isn't a single good tool for documentation, regardless of language, platform or project, in existence, today.

It's frankly easier to point out what non-trash tools for rational human beings we do have, rather than don't have, because it isn't too long of a list.
As someone who has been dinged by dang, I appreciate moderation.
I'm going to have to disagree here. Having a settings object is much easier then appsettings.Test.json

The .json is for running the application locally. A unit test should be able to cover if a setting has value 'a, b or c', which is much easier with a regular object.
4.8 is the version of a .NET Framework. What we have now is essentially .NET Core 4, with a misleading name of .NET 5 that confuses people. .NET Core is not being provided with Windows Update, like someone already said, you need to package it yourself with your app.
I was going to reply "no", but I checked the settings just now and it appears it does!

This is from the settings:

Labels
======
Organize messages with:
[ ] Folders: file each message into a single folder
[ ] Labels: add multiple labels to each message
Switch methods at any time. Folders will become labels and vice versa.

I don't use labels, so I don't know if it's the same as how Gmail does it. But multiple labels per message is a thing it looks like.
And they probably have "write it off" as a very well lubricated standard procedure costing them as little as possible.
I implemented a few services in Go like 5 years ago and they still work. I think some have uptime of 2 years or more. I love that once you get good test coverage, Go programs are extremely stable. I still prefer to do things in Python, but if I need extra stability I go with Go.
I found this comment about the "shock" experienced by the author interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098

> If you read the profile the New Yorker published about us last year, you'll find the author's own shock experience of HN encoded into that article (and it's something of a miracle of openness and intelligence that she was able to get past that—the shock experience really is that bad).
Do be aware that CVS and Walgreens stock homeopathic garbage for any symptom that doesn't have a good OTC remedy, and aside from a little fine print and weird units on the "active ingredients" the packaging is identical to real medicine.
I like both points here. Twitter gets traction because professional trolls / grifters use it to build their personal brand.

They are frequently newspaper columnists, authors, and TV pundits who benefit directly or indirectly from have a large number of followers (whether they following in agreement or follow out of outrage, it matters not).

Sadly this is true of the left as well as the right; they are all selling something.

These Professionals need large mainstream audiences, which is why they love twitter and twitter loves them, but they are a different animal to the tribalists who want to satisfy their need to mix with like minded people.

Until the fringe sites enable the former as well as the latter it's not immediately obvious how they remain viable.
You don't win 100x-ers by squeezing founders over tiny exits.

VC funds have a duty to their LP base to maximize returns, but I would argue the good will generated by moves like this are what protect their ability to get into "hot" companies and thus protect those returns. Pursuing your strategy would likely harm the fund's reputation and their ability to return LP capital in the future.

Also - a point of nuance. VCs are not in the habit of writing off everything, that would be a false takeaway from this article. If the amount invested was bigger or the exit was more like 2x or 3x for the VCs, your points of criticism would be more valid.
For me, a large part of React Native's appeal is the docs giving me a clear path to make stuff and a fairly public development process. Sure it is also an extra layer of trouble, but I prefer the trouble I can engage with (RN) over the risk of being stranded in the unknowable (Apple).

It's also unique in its specifics. Voting is an unusual data-management challenge as we want a paper-trail (we want to be able to verify the correctness of the count), and voter anonymity (it must be impossible to prove that a specific person voted a specific way). We can do this robustly and easily with paper-based voting. Electronic systems are often deeply flawed.

Buyback clauses are very rare. Generally, most suppliers refuse buyback provisions except for new product lines.

And most retailers build spoilage into their profit models. It's why margins are so low even though they sell everything marked up by double digits.
Something I’ve leaned is a lot of things are nonsense, but they may work anyway.

Nutrition is the biggest.
I’ve read so many people that come up with some crazy diet. Usually eliminating toxins nonsense.

But then you realize they are circling around an autoimmune protocol diet.

The person has inflammation problems, but doesn’t know it. They are slowly finding what really works.

Supplements is another one. People go crazy about them.

Turns out most people have a magnesium deficiency. Number one supplement that helped me out.

As a non citizen who worked the polls as a clerk, there’s plenty of ballot secrecy. Many people don’t care. But there are procedures in place. Sometimes people do care and they can obscure it.

Once the ballot is in the box, disassociated from the voter then there is no more secrecy concerns.
Unless you have enough money/lawyers to fight it in court, there really isn't much option.

You take the tests, with the software, or you fail.
I'd like to push back gently on the notion that you have to work some kind of insane hours to reach the upper tiers of software engineer compensation. While getting a job at the large "prestigious" companies is very competitive, once you get the job it doesn't take any particularly heroic effort to maintain it.
This is ridiculous, there are hundreds of thousands of engineers making these large sums of money and it’s not an exclusive crowd. The amount of work it takes to get a midlevel FAANG or similar job is a lot less than to start a business. I honestly think people think it’s “otherworldly” or similarly impossible for themselves because they don’t have the confidence to try, or have some extenuating restriction that makes it feel unattainable.

Of course the author is right that a $3.7m exit is non-trivial and that $1k MRR is not a bad place to start but it’s crazy to call people making larger amounts of money as employees “gods” and likely a disservice to oneself to use that kind of language to make them seem like some far away, impossible to reach or understand group.
Maybe I'm just the Grinch but some rich dudes giving $800k to one rich dude doesn't warm my heart. Especially as someone who's gotten (relatively) screwed twice now when owners sold out.

It also goes to the heart of how messed up our economic system can be. I can be mollified by saying that he worked hard and earned his ~$4 million by building a business. But I can't internally justify the VCs gifting him $800k for AFAICT nothing. I'm going to have to work for the next 4-5 years for that but he gets it basically on the whim of some person at a VC.

gitlab isn't evil. One of my short life lessons is that, in general, when I do business with evil, sketchy, or nasty organizations or people, I generally come out behind.

If the good guys have an inferior product and charge double, I'll sometimes pick the bad guy. And more often than not, I get burned, costing me tenfold what it would have cost to just go with the high-integrity choice in the first place.

I'm not leaving github over this, but I'm mostly starting new project on gitlab instead.
>Security, usability and durability

Marketing is necessary to bring up as Security and durability claims have been debunked enough times. Perception isn't reality, but similar to Tesla and Jeep owners they have high satisfaction despite objectively poor qualities.

You only need to try giving your grandparents a iphone to realize usability claims are greatly exaggerated.
Not at all, it only seems that way to you because you have zero sense of what risk/reward actually means. Employees were paid for their value determined by the market. Josh is just now being compensated for the immense amount of risk and deferred cash he gave up to build this company in the early days.

There's a reason the market doesn't compensate every early employee at a meh SaaS company with millions.
You are absolutely right. It was unfair, and I am sorry, spacedcowboy!
> I want my personal history to be the truth, not some convenient fiction.

I am mostly using the Git history when going through past changes. Why does this line do X? I just git blame this line and see exactly what happened. This is the time I really hate all those "oops, fixed mistake" and "forgot this change" commits. I don't care about those things, even if it's the "truth". They're just useless and distracting. Doing an amend/rebase/squash would have been perfectly fine in such a scenario. I have written more about rewriting Git history here [1].

> In a team environment, somebody always insists on using rebase and then invariably they push a rebase to master and hijinks ensue. I wish there was a fork of git with rebase disabled.

That's why shared branches like master are usually protected, so you cannot push an alternative history.

What's his plan? Take it day by day? Watch his back?

Also (infer no adversarial tone), he seems to imply that he needs to be prepared to defend himself against attack, ostensibly using his lingering Krav Maga skill and instincts. Does that violate his pacifism?

Maybe "pacifist", in this context, should be understood to mean "unaffiliated with any gang".
I've had the same experience. I always see side projects at the top of the front page and many of these projects are not making $1k MRR, or even $100 MRR, but they're on the front page because everyone knows how difficult it is to make and launch a side project here. I love this community. Yes we have big expectations, yes we all want to do great-things and you see the extremes of that when you see the comments that $1k MRR is not that good. You also see comments that 1000 Inserts Per Second is not that good. It gives you perspective on the amazing people here; who have big dreams and big expectations and I would not want it any other way.
I have migrated from C# to Node.js, my code is now 20x times shorter (from 800 files to 40 files), simpler to read and maintain, there is 100x more packages available on NPM compared to nuget. Performance is stellar, even better than in C# for my use case (Mega tons of concurrent queries executed in 1-5ms avg)

And also I don't have to fight against the language to do what I want to do ... No classes, no types, no constraints.

I don't think we disagree on all that much.

> the root causes are rarely religious

I can agree with this, but I believe my point stands that the specific contents of the doctrine can act as a significant magnifier when the additional geopolitical context is in place.

Nationalism and belief in racial superiority in Japan (especially among the military which basically ran the show given a lack of oversight or control by representatives) played a huge causal role in their actions. I would go so far as to say it was a necessary but not sufficient condition for what occurred in the Eastern theatre of WW2.

Regarding religion, if the Bible & Quran were explicitly pacifistic and forbade war (instead of glorifying it in certain instances), I believe the world would look quite different. If we accept this, then we accept that the specific contents of the doctrine do play an important causal role. Is it plausible to see Jain individuals becoming terrorists in support of a political objective? It seems rather dubious that that would happen.
No! My wife would kick me out of the house if I brought any more bikes home!

Seriously though, that would be amazing. I know several people who never would have considered being a “serious biker” but bought an electric bike. Now they ride to work, out to eat, to the store, everywhere!

Electric bikes are great for commuting when it’s warm outside because you can rely on the motor and not be drenched in sweat when you arrive to work. And if it’s cold out you can use the motor less and pedal to stay warm, plus you’ll get some bonus exercise!
I won't fly Air France because they cost me 500 euros for nothing. I was in Paris and set to leave and they went on strike. I waited in line for hours to try and get on any flight out, and they said there was no chance I would leave that day, and I should book a hotel.

So we booked the cheapest thing we could find that would work with our baby, and it was 500 euros for the night. Two hours later they called us and told us to get to the airport right away if we wanted to leave France in less than a week.

So we left France on small plane, and couldn't get a refund on the hotel because it was less than 24. All because they couldn't figure out how to get us on that flight two hours earlier when I was at their customer service desk.
