If making more information public increases trust, both between government and citizens and among citizens, then it's good for all. Of course, not all information should be public, but transparency is often useful.

And different stances in these kind of questions are probably adaptive in different societies. Publishing financial information is not adaptive if there is a high risk of being robbed as a result**. Having your address public is nice if all you get is flowers and post cards.

However, my main point was that "never move to Sweden" because more information about you is public, is quite unproportional as Sweden is one of the best countries to live in.

* There as some fees though, at least in Norway, but there is a limit of about $300 above which you don't need to pay for medical treatment.

Just curious, what is the best way to “target the web” these days? I remember back in the xhtml days that you could validate against standards. But as I understand it these days with google eating up the standards development it seems like html5 is synonomous with chrome.

I really love to see how well supported Wayland nowadays is. We're probably still missing a couple of things, but so far my experience has been fantastic.

My first computer was an original IBM PC XT. It had 8088, 640kb or RAM, 20MB Seagate HD, and a 360kb dd. Software was so lean that we would use smartdrive (or something like that), to use 360kb of RAM as a virtual disk and copy the games there so that they will load faster.
Better track and organize your machine learning experiments with MLflow
As a general thought about parallelizing all the things it's true though. When looking for speedups, parallelization granularity has to be tuned and iterated with benchmarking, else your speedups will be poor or negative.

I think the example case in this subthread was about making some long app operations asynchronous and overlapping, which is a more forgiving use case than trying to make a piece of code faster by utilizing multiple cores.
Every time this is brought up I ask the same thing.

I have no answers to the question posed, other than that capitalism doesn't incentivise "good", it incentivises profit, and with these kind of small electronics those two things are mutually exclusive. The very first thing I thought of when I started reading this article, was this thread [1] about a toaster from decades ago that is better than anything one can buy today. I watched several videos about that toaster that day and it now lives rent free in my head, especially every time I take the burnt or unevenly toasted toast out of my stupidly expensive, but rubbish, Dualit toaster.

I’m certain it plays hell on software timekeeping. If you don’t have an RTC then switching to chrony and increasing the poll rate should help prevent potential clock error.
It's also true that focusing solely on the logo and forgetting about what matter the most (the services offered by the company) is probably wrong. I like your approach - start simple and the update the logo afterwards, if you really point towards marketing.

This obviously depends on which area you're targeting, but I would say that for most of the business this is true :)

In any case, a logo isn't really written in stone, and they get refreshed after a couple of years.
Ask HN: How does your sales pipeline work?
FYI, I am a Sysadmin/DevOps

Initially, I worked part time along with my full time job. Now i am planning on going full time consulting/freelancing . I have a team with me as well (3 of us).

how does your sales pipeline work ?

- do you have dedicated sales team ?

- do you use sites like upwork/fiverr to get client or LinkedIn ?

or is it just from your personal network ?

Any feedback is appreciated .
> I'd love to know how the author would render this proposition trivial to a fourth grader.

Looking at the diagram in your link, and labelling AE x, EB y, CF a and FD b, "Let AE, EB, CF, and FD be magnitudes proportional taken separately, so that AE is to EB as CF is to FD. I say that they are also proportional taken jointly, that is, AB is to BE as CD is to FD.", means :

If x/y = a/b, then also (x+y) / y = (a+b) / b.

To prove this is true, operate on the second equation to make it the same as the first:

1. Expand: x/y + y/y = a/b + b/b

2. Subtract 1 from both sides: x/y = a/b. QED.

Notation really makes all the difference!
Rust may or may not help you write synchronization primitives safely, but it for sure helps you use synchronization primitives without having to worry about memory safety. If you aren't parallelizing particularly subtle shenanigans, that's plenty for fearlessness.
You send your ETH to a specific contract, from which it can't be moved (whether you want to call that "burning" is up to you, but it's probably a bit confusing). Each validator must also run an Eth full node, and uses the state of that contract to determine who can act as a validator on the Beacon chain.
In 1995 I bought my first computer, a very old original IBM PC XT for about USD 100. That was my economic limit.

It had a MDA card, no graphics at all. The rest of the hardware was as you describe.

I was at least able to exchange the MDA card for a Hercules and play some very oldie games on a monochrome monitor.
My current text editor is not even neon.
Not to find a solution, it was already found. The roadmap plan was always to switch to PoS, the miners and PoW were always temporary until it was developed / ready. Now the beacon chain (core of PoS) is live, with around $6 billion staked. Some of the miners (not all of them by far) are complaining they're no longer going to be needed, going so far as to make a show of "force". Others (like f2pool) have calmly been preparing with rest of Ethereum community, and are transitioning to staking themselves.

Did you ever take a look to try and figure out where the extra verboseness came from? For instance, was it spread equally across all functions or concentrated in those doing numeric computations (or whatever)? It would be interesting to learn something from this example.
Don't you think this statement is true - "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room".

That could be the reason. Maybe I'm trying to manage the wrong people? But cannot confirm, that's my dilemma.

How would evaluate if a person (be it junior or senior) is capable of making right decisions themselves?
So it's as easy as adding `if $tip >= $base` somewhere in source code of the program they are running in the nodes. (You can call it a soft fork if you wish.)

You don't have to, that's the beauty of having a choice.

Now that HN knows that you're so opinionated about the tech stack of your bank - can you detail down what type of infrastructure your current bank has, and why it's so good? Or is that just something you assume since you basically have zero knowledge about what traditional finance uses as back-ends?
Interesting experiment, but in this form it doesn't give a lot of information. E.g. what if the crawler was at 90% of its crawlspace when the word was added (and the website happened to be in the remaining 10%)? Also, like the author says, N=1.
Show HN: Dead simple interface for bulk filling PDF Forms
Around a year ago my mom asked me to if I would be able to fill in a PDF formular with existing data from an excel sheet.
After a few hours and some ugly python code later i was able to get the job done.

From time to time I went back to the code and build a simple webapp around it. My goal was to have a dead simple interface for it and not build another copycat of the online pdf services that can make everything with your PDF from a simple merge to a building houses of cards with it if you know how to use the bloated thing.

Now I am wondering if I should simply open source the project or keep going and providing a dead simple service for it.
The current hosted example on https://bulk-pdf.com provides a basic version without any advanced features that you can just use without any signup. -> Upload a PDF, select your fields, upload excel sheet, download it - done!
(Hint: Nothing except the PDF template without the data provided by the excel will be stored permanently, at least for now)

Happy to hear any thoughts!
#1 problem for me is a combination of issues:
- xwayland has no DPI scaling support (or rather, naive blurry pixel upscaling)
- jebrains ides have no native Wayland support

Result is a blurry mess of an ide. Once that is resolved, I'll be wholeheartedly aboard the Wayland train.

I went to a Cajun dance with my wife once. We were both new to it. She was asked to dance for most dances. I was never asked. I guess women simply didn't ask men in this venue.

Is there a reason you can’t continue to use Subversion for this? Sounds like its feature set (immutable commits) is closer to your requirements? Subversion still exists and is still easy to set up on a home server. (It’s what I still use for this purpose, even in 2021.)

> way to transfer USD between parties

There's a bigger world outside the island of U.S. There are more political regimes, tax regimes, banking restrictions and all sorts of uncertainty that needs sound and cheaply stored/secured/transferrable money that would protect a person and their family/community against all these issues.

Just the recent multi-trillion debt expansion is a pointer to that. You can't and you won't store your savings in USD-denominated cash. Your options are either getting in debt and tying yourself to a certain credit institution/jurisdiction, or getting some freedom by exiting into Bitcoin.

The details are foggy, but Loom in particular had some way to be playable on monochrome graphics, perhaps with some kind of CGA emulator. I have vivid memories of playing through this game on my Compaq XT clone in black-and-yellow with no mouse. Similar time frame; my family got the machine around 93-94 on a pretty low budget, but I learned a TON on it until we managed to buy a Pentium 133 a few years later.

I don't know if you are a minority, but Rust is available right now and C-but-with-Rust's-great-ideas isn't. As far as I know no one is working on C-but-with-Rust's-great-ideas, so I don't think it's a good strategy to wait around for it instead of using the tools that exist and are already used with great impact.
> jebrains ides have no native Wayland support

I'm not sure about this statement to be honest, but maybe I never cared that much since xwayland works already good on my machines: have you tried with a custom JDK?

I had some issues with sway and Jetbrains back in November, but I fixed those by running them on the latest JDK: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/3007#issuecomment-7245...

Granted that yes, probably it's not Wayland native, but using HiDPI in my case didn't seem to be a problem to be honest

De-orbiting satellites -- while necessary for well-discussed reasons -- seems wasteful. You spent umpteen million dollars getting that mass into orbit, and you're just going to drop it?

You are assuming he will go to the trouble of reading these texts because somehow being given textbooks about how to work with other people is less patronizing? As gently as I can, I want to suggest that this might not be a realistic expectation.

You don’t go into a lot of detail except to say that you hit a stone. The first thing that comes to mind is that he is literally stonewalling you — this is a term that describes a dysfunctional emotional tactic in relationships.

I don’t think you have a knowledge problem. You have an emotional and relationship problem, which is far more complex, and requires different tools and skills. For some people, for example, they shut down (and stonewall) when the task at hand or the area under discussion overwhelms them, or makes them feel inadequate, or mirrors something from their childhood, or or or — the possibilities are literally endless.

I’m going to assume you didn’t sign up to be this guy’s therapist. But if he’s not meeting you halfway in trying to engage with these issues, even by just acknowledging that these are issues, you have to find some way to speak to that.

I’m hoping other people have more specific advice for this situation, because my advice would be not to go into business with someone who doesn’t have the emotional regulation skills to handle failure with growth. (And stonewalling is absolute a sign of a lack of regulatory and relationship skills.) but correctly identifying the problem is probably the first step.
Ask HN: 'Unconventional' languages for web development?
Are you using building or maintaining a web app (e.g. a server-side CRUD app) using a language not usually associated with web development? What is the language? Do you enjoy using the language for web development and does it meet your needs? Or would you rather use another language?
C evangelism is exhausting too. Maybe we can stick to discussing the merits of each language instead of complaining about how people with differing opinions make us feel.
It's slang from around the turn of the 20th century.

No joke, it comes from birdsong hobbyists, when two birds were "competing" they would insert deliberately off and loud notes to intimidate and silence each other. They named those "slams" like a door slam.

That became the slang for the patter of street hawkers when they negged you or heckled someone else for laughs and attention, and eventually became slang for any kind of insult or put down.

Hope you don't mind my frank opinion, but there are a lot of yellow (ostensibly red) flags in your post that give me cause for concern. You ask for a text to share with your co-founder regarding time-management and teamwork, but that presupposes that your cofounders weak spots can be ameliorated by him simply reading and applying lessons from a textbook. I think this is optimistic, to put it lightly.

As you have stated, your co-founder doesn't have much experience working in a structured corporate setting where teamwork, clean communication, planning and scheduling is expected and required. He has been a small business owner, and so he has specialized on the skills to do that. Now, it's possible that he can grow beyond that, but it's equally possible that he can't, or won't.

You don't have any evidence of his capability to break away from doing what he's been doing for a very long time, and indeed, he doesn't seem to be interested in it (you can't get him on a team discord). So that leaves you with a couple options:

1) Explain to him how what he's doing limits the business and determine whether he can be coached through his limitations. You can't just ask him. You have to provide an actual task which tests his ability to do this and gives you a concrete outcome/data point one way or another.

2) If he cannot be coached through his limitations (lack of ability or desire), determine if you can hire a report or team of reports which he can guide and which will be the glue that connects him to the team and the rest of the organization. This is an expensive and bureaucratic way to solve the problem, but if he adds enough value to the organization, it's probably the most practical solution to your problem.

3) If he cannot be coached through his limitations and it is not ROI positive to hire a team around him, you have to seriously consider whether you should separate. This may not be what you want to hear, but you have to consider this possibility. It is a common way that cofounder relationships end.

In the future, it's important to test for these kinds of incompatibilities upfront -- if you can do some kind of a small projecting or contract with someone else to test the working relationship prior to committing to essentially a business marriage, you'll be a lot more prepared to underwrite the risk of working with this other person. Best of luck.
It may seem so if the epithet frequently misses its mark, which is inevitable when it's so casually abused.
