Ok, but let's start with stuff that is provably false, yet is debated all along.

For example: There is a climate crisis. This is a scientifically proven fact, not an opinion. Yet people deny it, often with the argument "I'm entitled to this opinion." No. You are not, because it is not an opinion; at most it is a delusion, at worst it is a lie (that you might honestly believe in). This is a 2+2=4 situation, or as near as one can get; yet one that even heads of "modern" states keep saying that is anything but 4.

Once we start from the basis that "there is a climate crisis", we can move forward, make choices and so on. A choice might be "it's there, but we're not going to do anything against it, because our economy". That is effective. (albeit something I would have a strong opninion about). At least others can still move forward.

But stating it does not exist (which is provably untrue) really harms effectiveness a lot.
Buy or rent a place to store your property, or sell the stuff you can't store on your land? I've been talking about getting a piano but my wife has reminded me we'll need to extend the house first, sadly.
Considering that Dijkstra didn't consistently work in his native tongue (this is quoted from EWD498 which was written in English), this seems to be very much intentional.

I guess he meant: If you know how to formulate some concept efficiently in your native tongue, you can work out how to translate it into another [programming or human] language.
Even if it doesn’t now, how long util someone there decides to “optimize costs” and use regular delivery infrastructure for this, with bin mixing?
The limiting factor in a North Korean artillery bombardment campaign will be the quality and training of troops and materiel.

It’s not clear the regime is prioritizing this aspect of their military beyond paper tiger levels.

People actually have to keep loading and firing those guns. And not run out of ammo. And the guns have to not break down.

Then, maybe North Korea can get to millions of casualties.
Please keep in mind that we may not all share the same idea of what a business is, what a meaningful amount of money is and what success looks like.

When you repeatedly make sales and profit, you’re past the hurdle of not losing money on the operation. It’s a nice milestone on the entrepreneurship journey and worthy of a bit of celebration.
It's normal for boom or burst startups. It's way bellow normal for small business.

But well, it's a perfectly fine ratio here.
No I've been watching YouTube reviews all day. At 2500x1600 it was going 55-70 FPS.

Esports games are not intensive but the igpu appears to be better than intel Xe- so it's a straight upgrade in terms of YoY upgrades if they stuck with intel CPUs.

The only question mark is how they'll approach dGPU and eGPU performance levels.
Yes! I hate this feature on android. Sometimes I need to login to a Gmail account that I don't have on device, and it takes me to app instead of opening the website I need.

Hope they'll make it optional.
I've found project management qualifications to give the best ROI. I've done Prince 2 and Scrum. Although I've never had a job title of Project Manager or Scrum Master, they've helped me get senior/lead developer jobs just because recruiters like to see those words on a CV.

Nice article, thanks for sharing! I first read Clayton Christensen's Competing Against Luck and was excited by the case studies.

To make it actionable, I bought Alan Klement's When Coffee and Kale Compete (yes bought, worth the money, but you can download for free).

That left me with an underwhelmed feeling. Not that I didn't like to book, it's great! I lend it out to a colleague immediately. But it's still not actionable.

This article provides a very simple, yet effective, template to capture and share jobs. Could apply it directly on a research project I'm working on.
Congratulations on your first HN post.
Malware on a large scale on computers, be them PCs, Macs or Linux hasn't been a problem for years unless you as a user engage in downloading shady stuff from dodgy sources.

The reason consoles are safer is that you can't do any dodgy downloads on them beyond the manufacturer's walled garden, similar to how mobile devices work, not because they have magic security pixie dust making them invulnerable to malware, especially since they share the same X86 hardware as PCs.
An app store monitoring your revenues and the size of your business is a bad sign.

Destroy All Software screencasts by Gary Bernhardt has some great content. Besides the typical CS degree, I felt that these videos were most pivotal in me writing better code.

Gödel's proof does not apply to any single axiomatic system, it applies to any computable set of axioms that can talk about numbers, quantifiers, addition and multiplication. This isn't arbitrary, it's a set of properties required for just about any interesting mathematics to take place.

The formulae are accepted because Gödel gives us a mapping, he proves that we can convert any formula into a number without losing information.
The article is a little thin on the details of the test. Is anyone aware as to how these tests are performed? Is the tracking station informed that a missile will be inbound from a particular area at a particular time and day or is there some randomness injected into the scenario to mimic real life?
For me it has been paying for folks to help pair code with new languages I'm learning has been amazing at speeding up / getting some nuance quickly. Latest language was Rust.

Second, books.

The `include!` is not intended to be used as a _generic_ inclusion mechanism¹:

> Using this macro is often a bad idea, because if the file is parsed as an expression, it is going to be placed in the surrounding code unhygienically. This could result in variables or functions being different from what the file expected if there are variables or functions that have the same name in the current file.

> Exactly. I wrote this explanation, but you beat me to it, so I'll just post it here:

> The real reason we use I/Q sampling is because we want to frequency-shift a signal.

> Why do we want to frequency-shift a signal? In radio frequency applications the signal of interest almost always has a much lower bandwidth than its highest frequency. In other words, the signal has a small bandwidth (say 40 MHz) centered around a high center-frequency (say 2.4 GHz). If we want to digitize the signal, then one way would be to use a very high sample-rate ADC (e.g. a 2.4 GHz ADC). But these are very expensive, and a much better way of digitizing the signal is to use a mixer (a frequency shifter) to shift the signal to be centered around 0 Hz and then use a relatively low sample-rate ADC (e.g. a 40 MHz ADC).

> The way frequency shifting is done is by multipling the signal by a sine signal, which can be done in hardware. But this introduces a distortion to the signal because multiplying by a sine is not actually a frequency shift. It just so happens that this distortion is cancelled out by adding another copy of the signal multiplied with another sine delayed by 90°. But this addition needs to be complex (due to the relationship between sine functions and true frequency shifts), so what we do is sample the two distorted signals and do this complex addition with the digitial signals.

I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but I would not say you distort the signal when you multiply with a sine wave. Essentially you create to frequency components the sum and difference frequencies (f1+f2, f1-f2), now if f1 is your modulated signal (so some f1+fmod, where fmod is a band and can be positive and negative) and you want to convert to baseband you would select f2 so that it's at the carrier (f1=f2) then you generate a baseband signal at 0 carrier frequency and a signal at 2xf1 which is usually outside your detector bandwidth so not detected. However this process only gives you half of the frequencies of your fmod, to get the other half you need to multiply with cosine(f2) which essentially gives you the component that was at 2xf1 now at baseband. So to handle that more elegantly in math you add the two components up as real and imaginary components, essentially that enables you to drop the cos/sin(f1) terms from your equations.
I second this. I've been using a work account recently to introduce myself to some new things and I was surprised at how much I liked it. It seems like it has gotten better in the past couple years especially.

How about personal accounts (using John Doe instead Acme Inc)?

Also, I'm new to App Store, does it mean they hold your money for (up to) a year so they can decide which bracket you fall into?
Are you sure you're wrong?

The relevant sentence seems to be "If a participating developer surpasses the $1 million threshold, the standard commission rate will apply for the remainder of the year." (emphasis mine)

Apple takes the comission as you go, so it sounds like they take 15% of each sale until you hit $1M, and then 30% for every sale after that.

The next year they'd take 30% right from the start though, so a good year followed by a bad one would be unfortunate.

I think the author has a misconception of why most developers use electron instead of SwiftUI: The MS universe.

I’ve built my most recent app using electron because I could easily target both os‘es using the same code base.

This will not change with the M1 and Big Sur.

I would love to see Apple going all in with SwiftUI and implement Win10 support. But I doubt this will ever happen.
Feels a bit like whataboutism. Especially since Apple is worse than Google now.
Writing is on the wall for the Mac App Store. It’s pretty obvious that now M1 macs run iOS apps that Apple is hoping to make the norm running iOS apps therefor making sure they get their rent payments.
In Germany we have "cold progression", so stacking tax brackets. If you earn 35.000€ it's something like (random numbers):

0-9000€ [0%] -> 0€

9000-20.000€ [10%] -> 1100€

20.000-40.000€ [15%] -> 3000€

Total = 4400€

So if you're in the 15% bracket you pay 4400€ which is actually 12.5% in total, and not 5250€ (15%) as some people seem to believe.
This especially won't happen because from Apple's perspective, that's way too similar to a Mac mini. The Mac mini just has an aluminum enclosure, heatsink, and fan. Remove those three things, downclock the CPU (if possible), and you've got a close equivalent.
If I recall correctly, the apps they banned were doing things like abusing the VPN function to capture all traffic from the phone, and using that as their mechanism for blocking certain websites (or maybe it was MDM they were abusing...?).

It wasn't a simple matter of "Apple releases product that does X, then bans all products that do X from the App Store;" the products they banned had to use some seriously sketchy tactics to monitor and restrict other apps on the iPhone without system-level access.
> Note that there are a couple technical steps skipped by some expositions of Cantor's argument.

That would resolve it. I found the expositions I heard unconvincing (even one in person by a famous mathematician), but it makes sense the flaws were in the abbreviation (and/or me), not in Cantor.

> What part of the theorem are you uncomfortable with?

As I've said, it's not the theorem, but this proof of it. Not a particular part, but that this proof technuque could prove something that is untrue. i.e. there was no condition to prevent it being applied to integers.

Here's a sketch of the argument, from my cousin comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25111003

Looks like it's prevented from being applied to integers by: a diagonal of an infinite list requiring numbers with infinite digits. Which integers don't have.
There has been an awful lot of "academic" skirmishes involving real live fire in that conflict over the years. Each one of these is playing a little with fire. Sometimes, things escalate for no rational reason.
How do you find those people?
The moment the US is gone, the Taliban will immediately press and crush the central government (regardless of which group is in power at the time), any agreements the Taliban sign will be ignored just as North Vietnam ignored everything they agreed to and immediately resumed their conquest.

The Afghans have a saying, "you have watches, but we have time". No American or Western electorate was or is willing to commit to a permanent presence. So here we are!
While there is a danger of spreading yourself too thin (as the author notes, one project a week was far too intensive) there's mileage in the idea of "throw a load of ideas at the wall and see what sticks". It helps you validate an idea quickly and, if nothing else, builds a portfolio you can show to potential employers or clients.

Rob Walling has some good stuff on building micro-SaaS businesses https://robwalling.com/
Not OP but I've done the same and had good success on Upwork.
spit my coffee out...
I’d bet there’s few “micro-bets” that are generating any meaningful amount of money.

The narrative would change and it wouldn't be getting called a "micro-bet" anymore if it did though, no? ;-) We used to just call these "side projects" which I prefer as a term for any sort of cheap experiment you throw at the wall to see if it sticks. I've had several, had two acquired for non-negligible amounts, and another has been my full time business for 10 years now.
Nice! Just build it!

It's a blessing to see that there are people who can just build things instead of whining around like: ohh it's not a business... ohh it won't make any money... ohh it's not so simple to build a product... mkay

Metal doesn't get enough hate for how awful and idiosyncratic it is. If you want to remain cross platform and support Metal you're so severely restricted that the best you can hope for is to just special case a bunch of features for non-Apple machines and not support them at all on Mac. It really feels like Apple wanted to kill gaming on Macs entirely. I understand that they want to maintain control over their own graphics stack, but for this to work the stack has to be better than the competition and that's not the case here at all.
I'm arguing that Indian tech companies are disadvantaged if all the best software engineers in India work for American companies. So are Indian consumers if there are fewer local companies solving local problems (and selling at local price-points).
If the DEA feels it needs all this to find more opiate addicts, they could save time & money by walking the streets of San Francisco instead.

Who sold you this lie? This is Iraq all over again.
The thing is this is all really not complicated, but unfortunately the way we (at least I) are being taught complex numbers is terrible. They essentially fall out of thin air without much explanation and sure the concept as a mathematical construct is easy enough to understand, but that doesn't really explain the why and the elegance of what you can do with them.

I really only understood this when I started doing communications (and that was after doing a PhD in physics mind you).
Let me know when I can make Apps without giving Apple $2000.

As a note I feel especially bad for the (global) poor who can't access 100% of humans because Apple charges luxury pricing.

Not at all. Everyone knows what they are doing and those skirmishes are to make specific points.

No-one is going to start an actual war.
It is when the policy enacted is reasonably close to the one you'd expect from intervention. There are multiple possible outcomes here ranging from this being insufficient progress to enough progress splintered across separate changes (which outsiders don't necessarily see a whole.)
Yeah other podcasts work, recently added some new ones and the episodes were almost immediately retrieved. The Running in Prod one is stuck. I may just be a single data point so maybe doesn't really matter. Just thought I'd point it out, thanks. I don't mind listening by browser.
This is sort of backwards from an economies-of-scale perspective. In the normal world, shipping your software internationally is something of a cost (like filing VAT in all the countries). And even though Stripe has made it way easier to do billing, a small company still would need some servers to do updates, customer service, etc. These things have a cost in time, people, and development.

For an Epic-sized business these things are somewhat small. These costs go down as a percentage of size, not up. So it's almost as if Apple is saying that "bigness" can only happen as a consequence of being on their platform, which I think most people would disagree with.

The attractive thing here is that it is now in Apple's interest to "grow" a bunch of indie developers into bigger companies.
Should that work in that way on desktop also? With Microsoft/Apple being free to restrict apps to their store only, and taking a cut of every transaction made outside the browser?

If not, what's the difference with phones/tablets?
The announcement says the new SOC is for "non-pro" devices. They seem to have something more powerful in the pipeline for those.

The drug war is collapsing. There's going to be a crunch on social security and medicare soon as more boomers retire, so the budget vultures will be circling. The DEA will search frantically for a reason to exist, something they can bring to congress to justify their funding.

This is clearly a direct result of Epic's lawsuit. I wouldn't consider it a cynical attempt to curry favour if they had done it a year ago.
It's an intermediate-level article, which means half-right and half-wrong.

The GUIDs paragraph is mostly wrong.

- there are a few different layouts for GUIDs, depending on need

- MySQL int is 4 bytes, bigint is 8 bytes, guids are 16 bytes. Space is important in schemas, more than you know.

- if you're not using SSD, then GUIDs will write slowly since they are random, thus causing seeks

- GUIDs however are useful when you need an id that is visible to the user, since they're not sequential.
The Vaccines Will Probably Work. Making Them Fast Will Be the Hard Part
I’d throw a party when they are dissolved. Horrible abuses of our civil rights in the name of protecting us from drugs (something they have unequivocally failed to succeed at).
"no growth left in selling phones" is kind of the wrong way to look at it. Even if their number of units sold per year never grows, it's a very healthy revenue stream because they manage to convince existing customers to buy new hardware. Considering the cost per phone the revenue per customer is pretty high just from selling phones if they can get them to buy every 2-3 years.

Naturally, the 30% take from the app store is bigger, but that's a matter of overall volume, not growth. The app store is a cash cow and will remain so even if its numbers start trending down.

I have tried to explain how student loan forgiveness would actually work to deaf ears.

There is no universe where a multi billion dollar bank is going to let billions of dollars of loans evaporate. They have all the connections in government and the all the right people out to dinner to prevent that.

Instead, the banks will get their bad loans paid off by the taxpayer. This further incentivizes them to embark on worthless loans as they know there can feel a nearly infinite stream of money into their pockets.

The best solution is education: nobody should take out a 70k loan for a job that could only pay 30k. The second is default: lenders should feel the sting of making bad loans and_should not_ be rewarded for bad behavior and taking advantage of kids.
The journey so far – A short summary of Code With Stein
Every place I've worked the AWS bill has always gone into a sort of a cost center blackhole. Finance would do their best in the beginning of the year to negotiate discounts & teams would do their best to keep costs low w/ reserved instances, etc.

Even though $1k is indeed a rounding error where I work vs. what we pay each month, it's becoming annoying how granular the billing for new setups is becoming. When I'm asked to compare TCO of an on-prem solution vs. a hosted one that includes all-of-the-above, I feel like I'm playing actuary and not cloud engineer.
I've enjoyed having an O'Reilly Safari subscription for random access to books. In particular, the Pragmatic Programmer and Designing Data-Intensive Applications.

Don't be like Apple did in Big Sur, and reduce all colors to medium gray on light gray backgrounds (arguments I have had with UI designers for years who seem to favorite this combo). Also consider the size of elements when working with color contrast, larger elements are more forgiving than smaller ones, bolder fonts are more forgiving than thin ones. People's ability to see comes in many variations, its not binary (20/10 vision vs sightless).
I only really learnt to cook once I stopped focusing on recipes and started to focus on ingredients and techniques.

Pick any random ingredient you enjoy and cook it using a few different techniques and a few different time/temperature combinations. Try to understand what is happening with that ingredient, why they taste different and which you prefer. You'll soon get a feel for how different combinations of time and temperature affect different ingredients and will often be able to guess how new ingredients will behave based on your experience with similar ingredients.

I personally consider Alton Browns old TV show Good Eats as a great introduction to cooking following this approach. Most episodes are dedicated to one ingredient or one technique and really breaks down the science behind everything and how different factors affect the outcome. Once you understand the basic techniques and ingredients, putting together recipes becomes a lot easier.
