I’m white, and I read those same articles (I read pretty much everything in the 1619 project and the recent story on that poor girl’s death).

I did not see any race-baiting in either. I did not see the introduction of “further division between two races”. I saw articles that covered some uncomfortable facts. If you’d rather ignore that reality you’re free to not read the Times.

Edit: just looked at your comment history. I'm sorry your experiences with nonwhite people caused you such animus.

There is only a limit amount of money to make. If your algorithm generates 100k in gross profit a year that doesn't even pay for the programmers to maintain it, unless they can do other things as well. (I'd guess common, there are a lot of algorithms) the sum total doesn't pay. Where it does pay you are better off spending money on fpga, or even asic.

Looks interesting although there is no indication of who runs the website, who built it etc.

I always look for an "About Us" page before signing up for anything like this.
I mean in the early 2000s there was MySpace, LiveJournal, Blogger, etc. That’s not all that different from Facebook, Medium, Tumblr in the way you’re saying. Those older platforms were way more customizable though, and frontpage definitely helped. You also had sites like geocities and angelfire that got a lot of non technical people interested in making websites.
Pretty much the only time I use the camera is if I'm using my iPad to take notes at a conference and I want to insert a picture of a slide. And even then it's awkward. Usually I just take pics of slides on my phone and insert them into a doc later if I'm energetic enough.
Oh, definitely. Look at the Apple TVs for another example. In both cases, if Apple would drop the price, even just yearly, they would sell so many more units.
No one has the balls to report that it's more than just a common occurrence that many Chinese employees engage in IP theft casually. And this plays a huge role in gaining competitive advantage for the Chinese companies benefiting off IP theft, needless to say.

There are ample real world reports of such occurrences, even.

There are still great use cases for an ipad. My two favorites are browsing the web or reading books from a bathtub and watching movies when travelling!
Here's a theory, iPads and Macbooks would some day (not too far away, too) run the same operating system, not just operating systems with the same core. They would just be two form factors. The unification has already started with macOS Big Sur.

This isn't "another perspective". It's the exact perspective the GP is addressing. You're looking at the iPad product family and saying "I want to use this for things other than the intended purposes."

Yes, the hardware is there. But that's not relevant. Apple wanted a product that provides users with a mobile display--that's all iPads really are.

> In fact, I'm using an iPad air right now and feel held back by the limitations of iOS imposed on me as a developer.

There are no limitations imposed on you "as a developer". Apple didn't build a full-featured computer in iPad form and then said "Okay, now let's remove functionality to make it harder to code". Apple defined the needs of the product--a big screen and an easy touch-based interface--and built it. Sure, the hardware might able to do more, but it was never the intention for it to do more. It does exactly what it was designed to do.

The only limit imposed on you is the tools you're allowing yourself to use.

Foldable "folio" keyboards with a built in triangular support fit this use case perfectly. If you can find one that fits your device, has the keys you need (esc, pipe, ctrl, alt, function keys, ...) and doesn't fall apart.
Video and photo editing has certainly been pushed by Apple and its software partners as a use case for the iPad Pro, so we can leave it aside as its not enthusiasts and hackers asking for it in this case.

That leaves programming. And programming is possible on iPads in terms of writing code - even with detachable keyboards now, its only compiling it which is not possible due to Apple's restrictions. It seems fair to ask why.
> Mainland China would present many of the same challenges with the addition of living under an autocratic regime.

And with China now sliding back into madness of seventies again, I see lots, and lots of people leaving,... but they do not go back to the US, or West in general.

Out of all places, some went to Vietnam, some, to Taiwan, some try their luck in places which were never before associated with electronics industry. One rather serious company of a person I know quite well, whose success was entirely on it being in China, is now relocating to Singapore.

My company spent precious developer hours this week 'fixing' old intranet websites that recently started giving Chrome 'insecure' warnings on internal links. HTTP is definitely not a risk in this scenario. And PG's website is not a risk either.

Hi willeh, thanks for the comment!

Definitely risky area considering how much leverage some brokers do provide. Higher leverage is beneficial if you prefer not to use all available funds for trading and deposit them to your trading account. For example, lets say you are trading with 100 000 account and your risk is based on that amount. You deposit only 10000 to your trading account and take advantage of the leverage while keeping the other 90k safely in your bank account instead of having all of it on your brokers account.

The brokers market has evolved in recent years as well and has become much more solid than what it used to be. Thankfully, a lot of solid brokerage firms have entered the market by now.

Forexbook will also try to provide some transparency around forex. To start, there's ability to share your trades. As there is no manual trade entry on the app, all trades are as is. For example, the trade example shown on the frontpage can be seen here with greater detail (what broker and if it was Live or Demo account) https://forexbook.com/s/trades/2da6ed44-d1fd-4028-a8a0-3203f...
PS! Sharing feature is manual and only you decide which trades to make public.

Sorry that happened to you. Many years ago, I went through something loosely similar (actually it happened like 3 times in different ways). The gist is that I started to suspect there was 'another level' going on with a group of people, some kind of hidden ritual relating to some kind of secret power, and that it was at least partly nefarious/evil.

I've thought about this a lot since, and I think much of it was being a situation where boundaries and intentions were unclear, and having that crash headlong into the belief systems I'd been raised with. My mind was reaching for explanations for my sensory overload & the firehose of novel data coming in-- so the war between 'demons' and 'angels' I had been repeatedly taught was real as a kid was what it latched on to.

I have learned since then that this is one of many common adverse reactions to tripping in a bad situation. I strongly, strongly encourage therapy! Uncertainty in this area can lead to misguided forays into cults, conspiracy theories or even a psychotic break.

By the way, I had never heard of darkpsy, so I decided to check it out. It's definitely interesting to me sober (I like weird stuff), but I would absolutely not want to listen to this back in the days when I was tripping. What was done to you was cruel, whether it was really meant that way or not.

>Apple has already solved this for iPad - the Magic Keyboard is brilliant (although not cheap!).

It really doesn't work for my use case; admittedly my model is probably older. But when I use a laptop, especially when traveling, I grab it and move it around the room, work on my lap, etc. Unless a removable keyboard and screen are attached in a way that is virtually indistinguishable from a laptop, I'm not really interested.
There were two parts to this. Something to "design" (build) websites, and somewhere to host it that wasn't tied to a grid. I learned to build web pages in Netscape. It came with a free html editor. And then I hosted on Geocities and Xoom for free.

Back in the day, setting up my own site was the best thing I did. And the skills I learned by doing so have evolved into a 25 year professional career.

You're right about Social networks etc. They ate bloggers' lunch.

Far too many people aren't prepared to teach themselves how things work these days and do things for themselves.

One of the greatest regrets I have as a webdev/designer was to give in to constant requests to make things 'fool-proof' in the name of growth.

Users never 'learned' anything. Like how to follow instructions or use a new UI/UX. Everything got dumbed-down.

Now look where we are on those networks. It's mostly an absolute mess of utter drivel. 'posted' (not created) by those 'fools'.
But a pause that can happen when you want it is acceptable. A 3 second stall might be totally acceptable as long as it happens outside of a trade, and you can guarantee that.

Be dismissive all you want but you give an example that is quite irrelevant in daily life, which is my point.

If you're into political activism, sure China is not the place for you to move to. But look at the daily life of a typical American and the daily life of a typical Chinese and they will be boringly similar.
And if you didn't need the extra power you could get all the suffering of a Sun box for the cost of a common office PC.

I think that's why I've seen very few workstations using it, but it's pretty common as a shared industrial system. If you need a single user system you'd just use DOS, if you need a powerful workhorse you'd get a fancier system, possibly some newfangled RISC machine, but if you need a multitasking system and don't need much power for any individual task it's ideal.
If it is statistics to a degree that can be used for hiring decisions or sold to competitors (or: for other people to make hundreds of millions from your work), is it trivial?
C++ after 11 is a very different beast. It's more pleasant to write compared with pre-11. Memory model, move semantics, smart pointers, lots of stuff standardized instead of left to the libraries.

Definitely depends on your team of course.
You specifically mentioned marketing/growth hacks etc.

I'm a programmer who bootstrapped a site 10 years ago and it's supported me since as an indie hacker. In order to learn about marketing, I held a monthly closed-doors growth hacking meet-up with other bootstrappers and founders to share our experiences about what works, so I've seen a fair amount of the territory.

Anyway I've got a YouTube channel where I share a lot of what I know, especially with respect to getting those first 1000 users. The focus is on marketing techniques that appeal to engineering types like me (e.g. scalable SEO generated from data; paid ads that you can leave running long-term etc.)

My context is scrappy (the biz only had between 1 and 4 employees), but what I know should be of interest to people in the early stages (less so for funded startups, where scale changes the game somewhat) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCzT-LQI6x0&list=PLpkoC9yJXD...
A bit tangential, but Wix lost all reputation in my eyes with the dumpster fire that is the redesigned DeviantArt after their acquisition. They took a nicely functional website and created an unusable monstrosity that takes tens of seconds of whirring fans to display a single image. My mind boggles at how a company focused on building websites could release something like that.
I miss simpler and more visual tools. Things you use not to create a billion dollar startup but a personal website. Not a complex web application but a little flash game.

Review 33: Portfolios and new projects – elefDoesCode
This is correct: I like having full control over the application behaviour (at least down to the browser), and for a relatively small implementation like this, it's quite manageable. I make no claim this is sensible, but I've been bitten by obscure bugs in large libraries before and this way I find debugging is much easier, because I typically only have to worry about my own code.

I'm not sure I would recommend this strategy to others. It very much comes down to a personal preference, and I imagine using an existing framework would be much more accessible to someone starting frontend development. I feel I might get some stick if I were to suggest this to newcomers :) I'm afraid I don't know of any existing write-ups!

I hadn't thought about that! I can only recall the teacher's nickname (which wasn't exactly complimentary), and I'm not in contact with anyone from those days, so I guess it's a non-starter. Plus, during my school years we were all taught that if you did any drugs at all, you'd end up a disgraced heroin user that would end up on the streets and die, and all the teachers seemed to fully buy-in to this notion.

I give each of these big ideas a folder on my computer and then fill that folder with markdown documents and think aloud via writing. The core idea is that I don't want to lose the momentum of my thoughts. Maybe that might be helpful for your use-case.
I think a lot of the controversy dates back to the anti-war and civil rights movements. Psychedelics were outlawed to tackle the first, opioids to address the latter. Now there were "legitimate" charges to ring them up for instead of civil disobedience.

Result: fewer challenges to the status quo when fundamental change at near-revolutionary levels seemed a real risk for those in power. Turns out society's elite were a bunch of squares.
> quite frankly a lot of the research into managing the depressive episodes with shrooms may just be that you become more stupid and therefore less prone to thinking in the first place.

However, they may artificially weaken links to fear circuitry in the brain - this is usually a feature.
But I wonder if people even bother to justify themselves. What are the means to push back on a corporation like FB, from within and without?
There's good and bad in this.

It sucks that we depend on Facebook/Instagram and others to get information about a local business like a restaurant we want to visit.

But years ago if you wanted information about a restaurant on the web... was it even there? If they even had a website it was built by the owner's nephew or maybe used some wix template, then if it does exist you're going all over the place to find contact information, opening hours are probably missing, menu might be anything from another page to a download of a photographed PDF.

I like the fact that I can go to a social network profile and there's a big button with contact information in the same place for all businesses.
It's not even that. It's that we don't teach people what a lot of that stuff feels like. You don't need to go through some big trauma to be ignorant of your own feelings.

You miss the part where the very existence of the person brings suffering through the consumption of all kinds of nature destroying goods. Obviously such person values their enjoyment over the suffering of others. This is one of the main issues of utilitarian philosophy where the attempt of applying universal measures of cost-benefit analysis returns unpleasant results.
>It is shocking that people still talk about America as this place with amazing freedom.

Find me a country with anything comparable to the First Amendment's current absolutist interpretation. In any other country you would find speech regulations and exceptions to constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech rights.

Cops are indeed more nervous in the US, but that is because the US is unique in the world with citizenry having a right to bear arms (and pretty serious arms at that, like easily concealable handguns or the .50 cal, automatic assault rifles if you are rich). Nowadays it's fashionable to underestimate the importance of that right, but armed citizenry is a very important factor, a deterrent in the minds of those who would dare to attempt to take the rights away. What is happening right now in Belarus likely wouldn't have happened if the citizenry had been armed, because using armed forces against your own people, starting a civil war, will look like a risky proposition even to a strongmen.

You are focusing on the behavior of the police, and there are indeed issues. Whatever cops do right now happens because American public lacks sufficient understanding of the issues, not because the country is an authoritarian police state. But the police behavior isn't the whole picture. There is also a legal system, the free press, and an uncensored internet access. While police may be rough, your chances of getting unfairly convicted are actually pretty low, provided you have money of course.

>other actually free countries.

I assume you are talking about western European countries with all kinds of limitations on speech and expression, and disarmed populace. To each their own, but I would not consider them freer than the US. And I'm saying that as someone who grew up in an authoritarian unfree country.
>The ACA requires health insurers in the individual and small group market to spend 80 percent of their premiums (after subtracting taxes and regulatory fees) on medical costs.

Means their profits are capped at 20%. Only way to grow profits is to inflate costs by colluding with private health providers.
Even more importantly, and I'm surprised you didn't mention it, static compile time VLIW doesn't know what to do for memory access. A load might take any number of cycles depending on whether the line is in L1, L2 or L3 cache, with static compile time VLIW then the compiler has to guess, if it's optimistic the whole CPU stalls, if it's pessimistic then you're much slower than you would otherwise be.

I believe this is the real thing that make superscalar OoO (ie. JIT to VLIW in silicon) win.
