Shouldn't "Show HN" rules also apply to "Launch HN"?

This looks like an awesome product, but kind of annoying to see a "Launch" but it's just a waitlist. Why not wait until Monday?

That 38b claim is unfounded.

The source in that article goes to the writer of Meatonmics. On their site, they just claim that number without pointing to where or how they get that number.

In 2019 the gov pumped out 22b in subsidies to all farmers across the board. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/12/31/790261705/fa...

So where's this 38b data coming from? Since the meatonmics agenda is to get rid of meat production, sourcing from them is the same as the health benefits claimed by the The Tobacco Institute.
Thank you, I had a vague memory of this but this article sums it up perfectly and states that it's worse than quadratic, it's exponential.
More like used to. There is like what, a single app for prototyping which is more on the mobile side. and the rest (Dreamweaver and co) have not been significantly updated for years. There is absolutely nothing left of the Macromedia era. Creating and fostering creative communities is something Adobe completely failed at. Flash, Dreamweaver and Fireworks had a vibrant ecosystem of plugins which was their strength.

As for their creative products, Photoshop and In Design are still king in the industry, because formats, but for how long? People in video editing are moving to Final Cut Pro, Da Vinci Resolve and co because of the lack of significant improvements in After Effects or Premiere.
Why on earth would you name a fintech company after a world-famous restaurant? Bonkers...
There's plenty of point. Rotted projects are bad press.

That may be true for you but it's not true for everyone. There is literally a saying in the hiking community "cotton kills" due to the danger of getting hypothermia from getting wet while wearing cotton.

Not everyone who wears a leather jacket it looking for fast fashion junk that will be thrown away in a few years. There are a lot of people who take a "buy it for life" approach to their clothing.
>If Ukraine disappears tomorrow, Western Europe will follow

Ah yes, the dreaded invasion of Western Europe by Russia, with their 90% outdated tanks and planes that could be held back by a single major European army. A terrifying prospects that haunts every european at night.
>The same approach applies to key length requirements for hash tables with arbitrarily large backing stores. They do not grow as slowly as the CLRS log* function, but they grow so slowly that there are easily identifiable sharp limits on how large they can be -- an easy example is that a hash table cannot use more memory than the hardware offers no matter how the software is written. A backing store with 1TB of addressable bytes cannot need the key to be more than 40 bits long.

So? That's still putting a bound on table size, which makes it in-practice constant, but doesn't make the algorithm O(1), because you can never get such a result by bounding n, for the reasons the GGP gave -- that's cheating.

Your complexity bound has to be written on the assumption that n (number of elements to store in hashtable) increases without bound. Assuming you will never use more that Y bytes of data is not valid.

>On a different note, by "table size" in my earlier comment I meant to refer to the number of entries in the table, not the capacity of the backing store. It seems like you might be using the same word for a different concept?

No, I was using table size exactly as you, to mean the number of elements stored. Is there a reason my comments only made sense under a different definition? It not, be charitable. (And avoid using obscure terms.)
> hell they could use non standard connectors

The EU also has a law to require standard charging cables in the works. They could expand that to include other components.

> Front glass, rear panel, circuit board, battery, and ?.

In my experience, the part that breaks first through normal wear and tear is the charging port. The part that breaks the most overall is the screen, but that's by being dropped.
Hey, thanks for your response! YLD is a software engineering and design consultancy (https://www.yld.io/), we like to do research and studies into interesting topics in STEM and actually should have an article coming out soon on womenlovetech.com which actually has australian origins so you may be familiar with it!
Reading that, it makes me wonder how they'd react to G.A. Romero's take on consumer culture.
FWIW, Paradox was also originally an acquisition by Borland, from a company named "Ansa Software".
>> That's because overpopulation is a myth. Sure, there's a limit to how many humans the planet can support, but we're nowhere near that limit.

Exponential grow will overtake any and all efforts that reduce a problem by a constant factor like the 4x proposed by changing eating habits.
In the end Borland acquired what was left of Aston Tate, so I guess it's fair to call it Borland now.
thank you much for your suggestion.
it sounds interesting. we did not think of including a GIF animation before.

we are going to talk about it during our next planning.

I really wish the rest of the Reddit site wasn’t so buggy.
The search sucks and is unintuitive. The mobile website forces you onto the app, but deep links don’t work 90% of the time.

On both platforms, the site loads so slowly. If you try to delete a post or comment, the operation often fails with no error message. Sometimes you comment, there’s a long pause, then an error message and 2-3 copies of your comment show up. Pages break randomly on the back button. On mobile, login tends to break context - this is a feature even bootcamp projects have now.

I really don’t understand how it’s possible to be so bad after so many years and so much complaining. Conceptually, Reddit isn’t a very complex site. There is a core set of maybe 10 user flows, of which over half are broken on at least one platform.

I understand they’re trying to become hot for VC attention and are trying to monetize (are they profitable yet?)

I actually don’t mind ads on Reddit as they’re generally relevant and clearly marked (minus the shilling, which is an unsolved problem on many platforms). I just wish they’d make the core experience less obnoxious before trying to add these big features.

I didn’t mean to hijack the thread with this rant - it just hurts when the site for a community you really enjoy also sucks to use, and drains the joy out of it.
I went to disable the online presence indicator for my Reddit account and the "use new reddit" option was magically enabled when I have only been using "old reddit". Has anyone else experienced this? I wonder if they are trying to push additional users to new reddit or if it was an anomaly with my account.
How One Looted Artifact Tells the Story of Modern Afghanistan
This is a pretty clickbaity title in my opinion. Bubble sort in lower level language X is going to be slower than quick sort in high level language Y. And bubblesort in high level language is going to be faster than merge sort for small data sets on low level language X. If you aren't comparing the same underlying routine, or data application, I don't think any conclusion should be made. Comparisons between languages is exactly why asymptomatic analysis was devised. Extract the process from the low level and hardware characteristics, and get the overall complexity growth. But this doesn't work the other way around. You can't compare different routines in different languages and expect big oh to be comparable.
Some things are communicated outside of the surface level of literal text that cannot be communicated within it. Even if they could be, some people enjoy nuance and complexity and think they are worthwhile for their own sake.

But really, this can't be explained in this fashion (and in this is the explanation...). Go look at a painting, read some poetry, listen to some music, enjoy a conversation with some friends, and ponder an interesting idea, and after all that reflect upon what you have experienced, and then, maybe, you'll be enlightened.
Probably minimal. There is nothing preventing an x86 or ARM CPU without these today, and CPU architecture has ~zero impact on the business decision to rely on binary blobs or proprietary system controllers.
Birth rates have a much larger effect on society than I think people realize. I recently read Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth? by Eric Kaufmann. It makes a pretty strong argument that contrary to the widespread assumption that everyone will just become an atheist, the world will actually become more religious, almost entirely because of birth rates.

In this 2010 book, Kaufmann argued that the answer to the question raised in the title is in the affirmative because demographic realities pose real challenges to the assumption of the inevitability of secular and liberal progress. He observed that devout factions tend to have a significant fertility advantage over their more moderate counterparts and the non-religious. For instance, white Catholic women in France have on average half a child more than their white secular counterparts while the Amish in the United States have three to four times more children than their fellow Christians on average. Highly religious groups tend to isolate themselves from the secularizing effects of modern mainstream Western society, making it more likely that the children will retain their parents' faiths. At the same time, secular people generally have rather low fertility rates by comparison for a variety of reasons, such as materialism, individualism, the preference for the here and now, feminism, environmentalism, or general pessimism. Kaufmann projected that secularism will have a mixed future in Europe. It will remain strong in most Catholic countries, notably Ireland and Spain, but has essentially ground to a halt in Protestant Europe and in France, and will falter in Northwestern Europe by mid-century. He told Mercator Net that the only way to buckle the trend involves "a creed that touches the emotional registers", which "can lure away the children of fundamentalists" and "a repudiation of multiculturalism." He suggested that "secular nationalism" and moderate religion associated with the nation-state could be part of the mix, but these traditions have been losing support at a considerable rate.

He observed that moderate faith of the Abrahamic variety is under pressure from both secularists and fundamentalists as they find themselves living in the secularizing societies of the West.[13] If it were only true that the religious were having more children than secular people, Kaufmann argues that the effects of the incoming demographic transformation would only be national, but because those who are having the most children tend to be intensely religious, he predicted that there would also be ramifications for international relations. However, Kaufmann rejected the increasingly popular notion that Islam will become the dominant religion in Europe by the end of the twenty-first century. Rather, Muslims would stabilize at around a fifth of the European population by 2100.
Square buys majority of Tidal, adds Jay Z to its board
Blumenthal is as divisive as someone like Alex Jones, and is just this side of Jones on the conspiracy theory crazy scale. His allegations rarely come to fruition, is a known charlatan, and considered by many as an anti-Semite based on his views on Israel. Long story short - I'm no fan of the guy.

But Amazon should never be in the business of banning books.
> We believe Online Presence Indicators could be beneficial to some of our communities where we see more real-time discussions unfolding

Most communities would not obviously benefit from this. Surely it would make more sense to have this off by default and allow specific subreddits to enable it at their discretion.
First of all I do not mind paying for it, end of the day I do not want to set up things (Server, Docker etc), I just played with it for 10 min.

1. For some reason "Syntax Error" kept popping up.
2. The UI need some work...look at Lucid Chart
3. Having an API will so we can call from other apps
4. Just PNG is not enough, may be add SVG

I am happy to get on a 30 min zoom call and discuss all this as I tried to create some thing like this using DS3 last year. Feel free to ping me at @jayonsoftware

GGP's post is classic HN middlebrow. Clearly someone who "knows what's best" for HW, but has never been involved in a major HW product, ever.

Serious production HW is formal all over. GGP's opinion is sort of like going to Google's search-engine group and saying that internet connectivity is a bad idea because it'll never fully capture human emotion. It's not even wrong.
The cost is less Tidal and more the Ascap and BMI licensing. It looks like there are companies who will bundle the cost of licensing into your monthly fee, though.
Hey there, we upgraded our stripe library version and missed a part in our code the relied on the old behavior. That resulted in our billing info not rendering for about a day. Sorry about that! A deceptive "Billing" section is definitely not our intention.
Does Godot still use a fairly fixed render pipeline and reduced shader language?

One nice thing about Unity's (frankly very inconsistent) shader language is how flexible it is. You can use any shader stage and even add GLSL pragmas etc.

I couldn't figure out how to do that last time I went looking in Godot. This really helped when trying to get new VR hardware working. I think its important to support this kind of stuff.
Knowing how to code and knowing how to build scalable architecture and infrastructure are two very different things. Its pretty well understood that if you know a few of the most common programming languages, which it seems like you do, then you can learn others. And theres also a massive wealth of developers around the world willing to work for (probably) less than you. Where you can shine as an experienced developer is in knowing how to avoid many of the problems that arise from building for scale and building complex systems.

Of course, you can read a lot about software architecture and building scalable systems, but the best way to improve is to actually work on those systems at whatever level you can. Get your foot in the door with people building systems that serve hundreds of thousands to millions of customers. If you’re having a hard time doing that, build something on your own purely for the sake of proving that you understand the challenges of building complex software systems and software at scale. That way, when you go into an interview, you can say “yeah, I integrated a sharded multi-cluster DB with worldwide CDN endpoints and full management control.” (This quote is mostly jargon, but hopefully you get the idea) As a dev, DON’T WORRY about if people actually use what you build. Worry about how it’ll help you communicate your skills when you talk to people and interview.

Hope this helps. P.S. I’m a PM with a background in CS and I work with a lot of devs at many levels in a large tech company.
Okay, but pedantry aside, the 20th century kicked the 21st century's ass when it comes to scientific discovery. Some stuff discovered between 1900 and 1920:

- Relativity

- Atomic nuclei

- Darwinian modern synthesis

On the technological application side, there was the airplane and mass production of cars, plus the growth of telephony and radio.

In the 21st century we have:

- found a bunch of extra solar planets but the work really started in the 90s, lol

On the application side, we have the cellphone/smartphone revolution and continued penetration of the internet, plus consumer EVs and solar panels. Not nothing, but the smartphone is the biggest change to daily life. Everything else is more just refinement of what came before.

I can't really think of other things that are profound scientific discoveries versus technical applications or filling in of minute details. We're just clearly in the far side of the S curve now, and the 20th century was the rollercoaster.

"Call to cancel" is at least preferred to my old gym's method of canceling, which was to send a handwritten notarized letter via certified carrier pigeon through a time portal to the past to warn myself to not sign up in the first place.

I’m not the target market, but if the first time I’m reading about a product is when it’s being discontinued, perhaps there were marketing and/or product/market fit issues.
The last time I mentioned this on HN everyone was saying how this isn’t legal technically. If you cancel a service simply by not paying (in this case archiving the credit card number) that doesn’t mean you aren’t still liable for the charges.

Having said that. If I can’t find a way to cancel on someone’s site, I will just rotate my card number and be done with it. I’ve never been held liable for those charges in those cases, so I’m not sure what the real answer is here.
Not in most cases.

C++ and C are complex enough and full of idiosyncrasies that you need experience.

Java is in the middle, you can do a lot with little knowledge, but it's still very comprehensive for large projects you want people with experience.

JS and Python are a little different - usually, the language is not being stressed to do anything, but for specific things, experience helps.

For any niche language however - they should be training. It's not wise to expect people to know Scala or Rust - on one hand, it's probably a very positive signal, and you may in some cases what 'very senior' people, but on the other hand you probably want to train some as well.
This is bad, but FYI, the solution is to find a bank which offers virtual credit cards (ideally, virtual disposable credit cards) and use virtual CC for new subs.

You use virtual CC, and if it's too painful to unsub, you cancel the CC. They will call you themselves when they notice the $ is not there. And then you can tell them what you think about 'em.

This just leads to people rising to their level of incompetence rather than having an effective manager. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle

I've always like the anecdote taken from Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people": hire the person who is the best manager, but don't neglect those who excel in their roles. Giving them a promotion of a new title with salary adjustment that reflects their value to the company, while maintaining their current responsibilities, keeps everybody happy.
No we didn't. We use MS Teams pretty much exclusively (it's one of the things I look after). We experimented with MS Teams' Walkie Talkie feature but it requires specific Samsung devices with a Push To Talk button so it was prohibitively expensive. But we always planned for this only in a frontline worker usecase (security, first aid, maintenance etc)

>> so when someone mentions a comment like that they specifically mean poor and / or brown people.

>> To get 'natural' population reduction, we need a worldwide policy of wealth, health care, and sexual education. For the last point, it's important to note that it requires deprogramming. To be very blunt, the Catholic Church has brainwashed generations to reproduce as much as they can. That damage has to be undone.

So I'm a racist for bringing up population as an issue, but you get to point to policy solutions and blaming religion?

Thanks.
I'm not sure I'd go with the green terminal feel. By the time dBase IV was released, VGA was becoming popular a lot of us moved to color monitors. Even the monochrome ones were white, thanks to the adoption of GUIs.

Last green-screen I used was on a CGA system. It was horrendous.
I figured it would, but I didn't want to assume. Thanks!
That's a cost of living index. Switching from COGI to COLI would be fraught with political nooses for a politician to hang themself with. If the switch were to happen poor people might take more notice of how badly they're being taken advantage of by the Company Store known as the stock market when they can point to the cost of living index and ask why the COLI went up 30% and they got a 0.5% raise.
I agree you should know what you are calling when writing code, but there is also a need for people to read the code and understand what the behavior will be. My impression is that C++ relies a lot on implicit knowledge.
Yeah I'm aware that PA has relatively a lot of documentation, but I'd still like to see ALSA documented. Even if a tiny bit more.

I think once we figure out what consciousness actually is, we will regard it as more than "just a feeling" but not the be-all and end-all of cognition or intelligence either.

My guess: Consciousness is your brain's logging facility. Conscious brains tag their experiences with symbols to help the brain organize and index them for reflection and introspection later.
