Congrats on your success and making it to 10 years! May I ask how you've promoted the service? I just started my own side project (see my profile) and this is the one aspect that I find challenging.

My feedback: I like the site. The video is helpful. The design of the page could be a little slicker, although I kind of like how it isn't super slick. It makes feel more like a small business I might want to support. A couple minor things:

- The text for the 3 steps is super dense. I honestly didn't even bother to read it. I'd try to reduce the copy a bit to one short sentence each.

- The artwork for the 33Mail logo and the icons for the 3 steps look a bit blurry. Higher res images here would make the page feel even more professional.
People who are addicted to gacha are psychologically manipulated, not to mention the gambling aspects. Gambling is already regulated across the world.

Just like laws protect the physically weak from exploitation, they should protect the psychologically weak from psychological exploitation.

You wouldn't accept someone holding you at gunpoint demanding your money, and you would have no choice but to give up you belongings. Even though it was your choice to give up your stuff, you were coerced into it. gacha/loot boxes and similar addictive phenomena pry on your psych.

This isn't some conspiracy, this is a tried and true method which you can learn about from the whaler himself[1].

I didn't. I don't write Perl anymore either, though.

When Python started gaining traction, I was so incredibly turned off by the fans of the language that I swore I would never write code in it. That was 1998. If Python was 10% as good as those people were claiming, it would be humankind's greatest achievement for the next 1000 years, and it isn't.

Please note that I'm not saying anything bad about Python here, only its advocates in the late 1990s. I still have a bad taste in my mouth because of those conversations, over 20 years later.
Most of those are well over $2M. 1.5M is a tough price point here, because the ones by the water (most of the ones in your link) are really expensive while just a few blocks away the price drops quickly.
Oh, how did I know it was going to be a substack post. Hmmm.
Congratulations! I admire your tenacity and commitment.

However,

> We have not spent much on paid user acquisition

Why not spend on paid acquisition? A bit of marketing and sales focus would have gotten you to $8k in 2 years, not 10.

I see so many great products on HN that take years to takeoff simply because the founders refuse to market it.

Good products deserve to be more widely known so more people can use them. A founder not investing in marketing is doing their own products a disservice.
For those wondering what all the fuss is about, CD Projekt Red is the company that released a popular game called "Cyberpunk 2077" with critical deficits on PS4 and Xbox One platforms.
I get what you're saying, because you might have a lot to say about topics in comment sections where it matters and in topics you know a lot about.

But there's some comment sections where you say something and it gets filtered out. What say you after this? I'm sure you're aware of shadow banning/filtering, which YouTube at least does, perhaps other large platforms.

Maybe a case in point. There was a referendum in Scotland about independence from the UK. There was a very prominent blog ranked in Google regarding the question of aye/nay, but you found that the comments were moderated towards one disposition.

If all the funnels point to that information source, the comments are almost useless, especially so if they're curated towards one conclusion. We're relying on a middle man (or many middle men) offering a variety of conclusions which we should reach ourselves, rather than one hand delivered to us by one or two algorithms and/or social engineering.

Diversity, basically, not just in results, but opinions and conclusions.
I'm hoping you can develop your own "ROM" for it, I wouldn't mind making everything like blocks to reduce GUI load if that's a thing. Like the Windows Phone UI, just my opinion. It's also on my wish list to do i3-wm on it so can get some ram back in desktop mode.

Some businesses run on code more than ten years old.

They don’t care if you sympathize. The business or institution decides how it wants to prioritize replacement, and some projects miss deadlines.

If you think that every application running in an enterprise has stopped using Flash, you’re sorely mistaken.
You'd be surprised, maybe horrified, if you knew how many people primarily interact with the Management Console instead of the CLI or the SDKs. In-browser terminal sessions are a real convenience to that special kind of user that hasn't (or won't) take the time to learn a modicum of productive CLI skills, but has the occasional need to SSH in.
I’ve read that kind of perl-generated assembly and honestly it is also unreadable and unauditable. I decided not to go for it for the project I’m working on and use pure rust libraries. But note that you can write inline assembly in rust too[1]

[1]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.8.0/book/inline-assembly.html

I’ve also used tooling[2] to measure any timing issues in libraries like dalek (ed25519) and it couldn’t find any (so good luck if you’re trying to exploit that over the network)

[2]: https://github.com/rozbb/dudect-bencher

Today I’d be more worried by memory safety bugs created by the use of C or assembly, or logic bugs due to only a few people being able to audit an implementation.
> Anyone constructing such a work is compelled to purchase all of the land necessary for that work; if they fail to obtain just one parcel, then the value of the result is often worthless. Not only is the seller compelled to sell the parcel, but the buyer is also compelled to buy it.

You're using two different sense of the word "compelled" here which creates a logical fallacy called "equivocation." The buyer is not compelled to purchase all the land by men with guns who will force them to take possession of the land. They are "compelled" in the sense that their preferred outcome relies on obtaining all the land that they want, which is very different and makes the value of the parcels they have obtained dependent on the acquisition of the remaining parcels. This is not at all the same as men with guns coercing someone to do something.

Really I'd have more confidence in such schemes if people weren't habitually eliding the plain facts of the situation with euphemisms and equivocations. If you think large infrastructure projects require depriving people of their property with violence and the greater good of society requires large infrastructure projects, just own up to it. its just violence and threats, its part of life. What do you think happens if you don't pay your taxes or don't pull over for the flashing blue lights?

> Fair market value is the price that the parcel would have been bought for if the buyer were not compelled to buy it at almost any price, and it can generally be imputed by looking at the history of real estate transactions for similar parcels. It's a pretty usual practice, since it's relevant for pricing real estate, insurance claims and estimates, and even property taxes.

Thats how people arrive at "just compensation" in order to meet constitutional scrutiny, that's not what "market value" means. The inconvenient fact that when bureaucrats decide they want something they can get the police to take it away and write a check is just a fact of life. If its so bad that we need to pretend its not the case, then maybe we shouldn't do it. If its not that bad but people get upset, then we need to toughen up and stop pretending otherwise so people can come to terms with the world we live in today.
Yeah, it just that with the use case I was exposed to (payment processing) it seemed utterly pointless and overly complex when compared to the rest API.

I don't want to query. I want to submit a transaction for processing dammit.

Again though, it might just be a case of me being old and cranky and having to learn yet another query language.
I heard the bonuses were paid out prior to the last release bump, so they got much less than they could have.
*Video games /have/ been around

If anything, this statement is a testament to music's endurance as an expressive medium. As mentioned by others on this discussion, video games are largely consumable media with products that don't extend beyond the screen.

The whole AI-replacing-creativity debate is a large can of worms. Yes, there are already generative music models that can create pleasant-sounding music, but for many practitioners, the process is more important than the product. There's a reason people still perform live in front of audiences when it would be more reasonable and convenient to play lossless recordings at home.
It took me around 20 hours to finish it the first time. Second time was a lot faster since I was essentially playing the same game and I could fly through the same situations and dialogs. It's a hollow experience, pretty but zero substance.

I know there are additional endings and side quests, but the problem is that game has no depth whatsoever so I'm not exactly motivated to spend more time. It's mindless action with a few variations on the quests that keep repeating themselves. After playing the game for a few hours, the shallowness and superficiality of it all starts weighing on you.
New NASA website lets you look inside Apollo lunar samples and meteorites
I am one of the authors of the Theano work. I am happy to hear that the Theano project is now being maintained again.

I will agree with alevskaya that the compilation times were an issue in my particular research ten years ago. I was trying to build neural-networks for parsing that were created at run-time. Since each parse tree had a different computation graph, I was not able to use Theano since it required compiling every single type of parse tree computation graph it encountered during training.

[edit if you want more details: There is really interesting old-school work called "Recursive distributed representations" and later "Labelling recursive auto-associative memory" that used auto-encoders to consume a variable length sequence, e.g. text string, in a sequential fashion. My work with Yoshua Bengio---incomplete---was based upon the idea of doing unsupervised binary parsing of sentences using a hierarchical RAAM-style approach: At any given point in time, greedily find the two adjacent tokens that could be most easily compressed into one token with low reconstruction error. However, once you apply this recursively and end up with auto-encoding binary parse trees, you end up with a variety of different computation graphs, each of which required separate compilation.]
Using a bad password on one of your systems (a year ago) does not, in any way, preclude the possibility of being attacked in a sophisticated manner by a sophisticated attacker.
Performance boost, bug fixes and hacks for fun for Cyberpunk 2077
Not true of EA, at least in the United States. EA hires junior employees as non-exempt for their first couple of years. They are also in my experience among the most progressive big publishers when it comes to overtime and work/life balance. Not perfect, but certainly trying in a real way across most of its studios.

Source: Worked for, but not currently employed at, several EA studios over the last decade, including as a junior engineer paid overtime.
We're exploring GraphQL because of the performance benefits of letting the client easily choose what it needs in the response data.

The most prominent use case is lean list views and rich detail views. It's also helpful in views where related data is surfaced in detail.

It can be done with REST, but there are enough edge cases that it's easier to simply follow a standard.
Maybe you could make it like an orange peel and bend it mostly sideways? Depends on how rigid it is. Or cut ridges like a fresnel lens? Or like lasik? All depends on the material properties.
If capital requirements are reasonable, the market will figure it out. However, that’s far less true for capital-intensive problems; there’s few enough actors for them to collude.

For that reason, central planning works out passably for predictable problems with high capital requirements like sewerage, roads and electrical grids.
>I'm not sure there are many engineers at Apple that truly understand what makes the M1 perform better.

Of course there are, and those people are computer engineers or electrical engineers (and I'm sure many software folks as well, there are a lot of smart people in the world).

>How people think they can just boil it down to just <x> is honestly confusing.

I would wager you a bar tab that those people are all ill-informed developers. I am no expert in software, let alone hardware, but I am always suprised how often I see professional developers bemoan the fact that their laptop 'uses 12 gigs of ram' to run the OS + a few chrome tabs. A huge amount of devs don't know how their OS manages memory, let alone the ins and outs of the design and operation of modern microprocessors.
I hadn't used AWS in about 4 years, but I recently starting using it for a side project. I needed to process a big dataset and I wanted to use pyspark, so I gave EMR a try. I was impressed how easy it was seemingly to create clusters in the UI and then run jobs using an ipython notebook.

That is until I realized that nothing worked. You had to use a version that was 5 versions behind the current version which is the opposite of what the documentation said which explicitly said not to use that version. Even then not everything worked out of the box.
Haha yeah, it was just so random like I saw a photo of a table with a drawing of 9:25 or whatever... didn't get it at first, came back new photo with a number on it like oh...

PyPI Service Degradation
I pretty much do. It's not entirely without pause, any sort of flow state will completely usurp it, and I can definitely zone out, but both of those situations are noticeably outside the norm.

Notably, when I'm my loosest and "most authentic" socially, it just feels like the inner voice is speaking directly out, whereas most times it's more like the inner voice is giving instructions to a much less verbose underling.
“I CANT KEEP DOING THIS”: Doctor pleads for review of data during Senate hearing
Human-Made Stuff Outweighs Earth’s Biomass for First Time, Study Finds
It seems like in the games industry they really want to advertise release dates or at least a release window for marketing purposes. Which results in the bad cruch periods, since you can only delay so much once you've stamped that date on it. This happens all the time, but this is an exceptionally bad example.

On the one hand, I wish companies wouldn't do this kind of crap, but on the other hand, the consumers need to be more responsible. This game has already made back the development costs, so all this backlash will probably amount to nothing. It's harsh to say, but gamers will seemingly believe anything the marketing machine tells them hook line and sinker.
This is really great feedback! Thanks, we will definitely take this into account when writing more technical documentation.
> having something to do with child porn, not due to legal liability

I am sorry but how are you not understanding that this is one and the same?????

If it were proven in a court of law that

- your associate’s business knowingly trafficked in child pornography
- you had reason to believe they were complicit in child pornography
- you continued working with that business anyway

then that exposes you to severe criminal liability, the kind that sends you to jail even if you’re a Vice President at VISA. And it should! Child pornography is a heinous crime that goes unpunished far too often. “Gee officer, I’m just a humble MasterCard corporate lawyer, how was I supposed to know?” is a ridiculous excuse.
Any ideas on this? Is this doctor legit or is he telling misinformation?
I had a go at this today and was instantly reminded of why all my past organization efforts fell flat on their face: I don't know how to categorize things, and I can't seem to figure it out.

If there is an obvious delineation, I will accept it and use it. If there is a line separating categories and that line is blurry at all, I find it impossible to both confidently choose where it goes and know where I filed it later on. I can know where to put something or I can know where to pull it from. Never both, somehow. (I am as confused by this as you are, but it is true for me.)

So everything winds up in piles, both physically in real life and in my filesystems. The only way I can remember where something is, is to remember what the pile looked like when I placed that thing on the pile. Then I know exactly where it is.

In network file folders I can find something by remembering my own history in that folder and remembering about how many items were there when I created the thing I'm looking for. Then I sort by creation time and I count that many down, and it's usually one or two away from that number, in one direction or the other.

My windows desktop is organized autobiographically as well. I can never remember what I named a folder, but I know exactly where it is on the desktop.

I'm basically a nightmare for anyone that needs a tidy environment. If you clean up my stuff, everything you organized is lost to me forever.
Comma.ai's Guide for Car Companies that want to work with them
Your best marketing people are your current users.

Reach out to your fans and consider offering some incentive for them to sign-up their friends and family if they are not doing that already. Something like get 6 months free for each new account that you refer when they sign up for a year.

All it would cost to implement is a carefully worded email and messaging in the user's dashboard and the time to build in how you want to track the referrals - whether your users each get an individual coupon code they can share with family and friends or have a built-in function (personally I find "share with a friend" emails to impersonal and more likely to be ignored).
California Is Banning Short-Term Rentals. Why Can’t Travelers Get Refunds?
The theory goes that the big foreign corp (ie. EA) hires a bunch of locals, and over time those locals get good and leave to form their own company.

There's a fair amount of evidence that this works. It's not like Vancouver is solely populated by foreign studios. Local game companies like Kabam, Black Bird Interactive, Relic, United Front, etc would have all either had their roots in EA workers or would have hired ex-EA workers.
You should definitely add that as a row in your pricing table! Even if it is checked for all columns.
This is a failure of the dev team not evaluating that libraries are stable enough for their organization. If you can't keep up with the iterations of the libraries you're using then you shouldn't be using those libraries in the first place.
You assume masks filter out 100%. Most people wear masks with less than 50% filtration and some wearing single layer polyester actually aerosolized droplets and make them worse than not wearing anything. People believe that aerosols and droplets behave the same way - a droplet may splash into a face shield, but aerosols don't behave the same way and won't hit the shield at all.
It supports some MFA (e.g. not U2F / FIDO) and not if you use SSO.

The browser profile is harder to exfiltrate, in part because modern OSes have ways to restrict access to particular processes, but that was also only part of the benefit: the main thing is the duration of the session. Tons of people leave AWS keys sitting around in ~/.aws for ages.

You can setup schemes with STS but not everyone remembers that and with this approach you have a very simple answer: it always uses STS, there's never a file sitting around for someone to accidentally save somewhere they shouldn't, etc.

Nothing here is something you couldn't do on your own — it's just a very easy option with safe defaults.
There are specs like jsonapi that solve this problem. I’ve never been entirely convinced that GraphQL is better than actual REST, even if it’s better than most of the APIs people call RESTful
