We found developers, who are our target audience, want to test the setup, as that's part of the product experience and they get to learn the stack and the requirements. We are an open-source product, we don't have a SaaS offering, so we don't have a way yet to spin up demos or trial accounts for every user.

I've been in hiring committee debriefs where "I was missing a few data points on X, but this is offset by the fact that the interview started Y minutes late, so we had less time than anticipated" explicitly called out in the written feedback.
Looks like an interesting list. I'm not a fan of the scrolling frame though.

Also, I see a number of pseudo-clones missing. For example PeerTube as a replacement for YouTube. However, that could be argued to not be a clone, as PeerTube is distributed.
Uh oh. How do I find rules for other domains? I went a little batty with the .de domain years ago and have quite a few. But, I'm not in Germany. While there is a mild ethical cringe at doing this, am I running afoul of some rules that might actually bite me later?
This is hilarious. I just tested it as a subdomain. O365 flatout won't let me send to emoji addresses, at least through the regular browser UI. Gmail is happy to oblige though
Efforts work best when they are focused on helping with a problem that you have direct experience with.

I think the long term large impact of pushing back against these ethically questionable things, even at the expense of your long term career earnings potential, would have a better result for society.

If you can't push back on that stuff internally, consider publicizing the behaviors and starting a conversation around them.

Don't just dump money into a charity to assauge your conscience.
Well, if a court rules that having an email set up on the domain is valid, how would you know whether that given case was legit or not? Who can really speak to the motivations of doing it?

I think .dk and .com probably diverge in this case because (a) a top .com is literally a million-dollar lottery ticket of incentive, and (b) .com is so much bigger that it would probably allow for utility services that set up trivial email services for a minimal fee, across your whole portfolio of domains. I'm not sure .dk can sustain the same kind of domainer industry tooling.

Plus, there's the problem of jurisdiction. For .dk it's pretty clear: cases are heard and decided in Denmark. And, since it's mostly Danish entities using .dk, that doesn't cause much unfairness. If .com is arbitrated in the US, seems like US corps are likely to take advantage of that and cause a lot of problems for smaller entities around the world.

I wish the .dk solution could be applied to .com. I hate how .com is right now. But I'm not sure it works at global scale.
They also aren't personalized, which has more side effects than people realize.

Even the most nihilist shock-jock has to pick a speed that won't alienate half his audience or drive all the advertisers away from the network. In these systems, those counterweights don't exist.
The implication never was that this particular journalist called them anything else. Just the current administration and the broader political culture. I don't think the "kids in cages" framing is as common ever since the election, but there are still some consistent voices calling it what it is.

I wonder how many times they take down PoCs for other companies’ software under the same terms?

I’m also dubious about how many complaints they received from non-Microsoft users. I wish they would post data on these kinds of complaints to know if “many” is 2 or 2,000.

I like GitHub a lot, and think Microsoft’s purchase has been really beneficial. But taking down legal and appropriate projects is bad and they shouldn’t do it.

They should and they already do. Spreading misinformation can be classified as terrorism. Saying that there’s a man in the sky should be ok; Asserting that there are chips in vaccines is a matter of public safety. Someone will avoid getting the vaccine and die as a consequence of that post.

As for the punishment, it could be as simple as community service or losing access to public benefits for some time.

Sure - and there's some subjectivity to 'write simply'.

The idea is good though, bias towards clarity and be aware of how complex your writing is. Don't use big words to try and seem smart or fancy because they obscure meaning - there are rare exceptions to this, but they should be intentional and rare.
> And the essay presents its position as a general statement void of all context.

Are you sure? From the blog (first sentence):

> I try to write using ordinary words and simple sentences.

Since the "I" in this case refers to someone who does not write poetry, speculative fiction, drama, tragedies, comedies ... and only ever writes for a technical audience, the context is clear: technical[1] audience not seeking poetry, fiction, drama, etc...

Further one he says:

> So you can't assume that writing about a difficult topic means you can safely use difficult words.

Once again, that indicates to me he is talking about writing something technical[2], not prose or poetry.

[1][2] "Technical" is not limited to IT and engineering; it's about anything that involves technique. Describing dance moves is "technical", as is writing a recipe (which is very similar in technique to writing a tiny program) or anything involving writing down music (Should you use 7/4 for the first verse, or alternate between 3/4 and 4/4? Which will be clearer to the flautist?)

I have several computers with different os's and a phone, that sometimes I call into meetings with, sometimes I use the apps.

I have meetings on teams, zoom, google, webex, (Skype is dead right?)

I may have presentations that I need to give in these meetings, in google docs, ppt, browser tab, etc.

So if your app could unify all of this, so I can click once on whatever device I'm on to get into my meeting, and have my meeting materials at hand, that would be cool.

I'm less big on notifications of any kind, I get too many already, making some new kind of extra important notification won't help.

Julia is for doing "technical computing".

> Privacy - smartphones and their apps reporting where you are at, what you are doing, what you are looking for to third parties like Google and it’s advertising network.

Specifically the second part - their apps. Does e-os do something to prevent 3rd party apps from requiring extraneous permissions, or using those permissions to track/profile you?

I get that now the base OS itself isn't tracking/profiling you for adtech purposes, but frankly neither was your iPhone Xr. All of the creepy stuff has always been in the apps, and I don't see how this changes that.
I think we have Hemingway to blame for this meme. I wonder why so very many authors feel the need to explicitly write these 'simple ode to simplicity' pieces — where each sentence in the exhortation has itself been optimized iteratively until no waste remains, so no lexical pixel has gone to waste. Sentences like 'Simple writing also lasts better,' are the unfortunate artifacts of this process. These are like the Teslas of brevity-pornographers: a mere five words attesting to hours of careful whittling; a praise-worthy awkwardness that could never have been produced on a native-speaker's first try.
I focus on cost-effectiveness of charities. Thankfully I can rely on the 10+ years of full-time research by a great team at GiveWell. The charity I chose is Against Malaria Foundation which is the top-rated charity by GiveWell:

https://www.givewell.org/charities/top-charities

ps - I also, for 10 years now, give at least 10% of my income (aside from this project) to cost-effective charities as per my pledge through Giving What We Can https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/ -- this is one of many initiatives that fall under the umbrella of EA (Effective Altruism) https://www.effectivealtruism.org/
If you'll be using B2 for live production data, a couple points:

First, B2's pricing is pretty amazing, especially compared to S3 and similar competitors: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-pricing.html

Second, be aware those savings come with some downsides. The major one for us has been their maintenance window every Thursday from 2:00-3:00pm Pacific Time. Usually there's no outage, but sometimes there is. There's no warning - it's just down sometimes during that window. So, if uptime is important for your data, consider the cost of also implementing a fallback solution to cover your production use during those maintenance windows. https://www.backblaze.com/scheduled-maintenance.html
He never says how many actual positions he interviewed for, or at how many companies for that matter. From the article it sounds like he was counting initial phone-screens as well.

If he had applied to 20 separate job postings they could have included a technical phone-screen, a "take-home" test, and a technical interview. Still a banana's amount of engagement for someone to receive in just 30-days though.

That being said and looking at the writer's LinkedIn profile he does appear to have a stellar resume, solid experience, and a large network.
I love all the comments about the price. It lets me know people really think this looks great and would work for them, but they are just off-put by the price.

I’ll take your word for it. I can think of many fulfilling things I’d rather be doing if I didn’t have to work everyday.
But why would you do that? I mean if that's you money, why would you ask your partner? I'm pretty frugal, don't spend on stupid things easily (well, things that I find stupid, at least), but if I had a business idea or even a fun project I don't think I'd need permission from my partner to spend my own money on it. Discussing it is a different story, of course.
The concept of living frugally to require less money is the basis of FIRE ideology, which the article decries. Unusual.
There is, it's set to exclude.

This "simple" style of writing demands a lot of the reader's and writer's shared context. Even in this comment section you can find two different commenters defending the essay but making different assumptions about what sort of writing PG is discussing! You assume essays, and another commenter assumes business writing. I happen to think you're both wrong, and that Graham's "Write Simply" prescription is meant to apply to much more than just business writing and essays (perhaps even all writing, but at least most writing).

Three people who know a fair amount about the author -- at least relatively speaking -- can't agree on the meaning of this essay.

Now, consider that some other people reading this essay might be genuinely confused about why we're discussing Parental Guidance.
> Spreading misinformation can be classified as terrorism.

Anything can be "classified" as anything if you draw your venn diagram circles big enough; that doesn't make it so. Furthermore, "terrorism" isn't itself a crime, the violence that usually comprises it is (such as murder, bombings, et c). A rather good thing that, or otherwise people like yourself would love to "classify" more things as something illegal, bypassing the actual authority in our society tasked with making new laws.

Spreading falsehoods is protected expression, at least in the US.

Disagree completely. There are irreversible psychological effects from opioid and amphetamine abuse, especially from a neurotoxic amphetamines like meth. Such neurotoxicity or long-term damage potential isn't seen on things like methylphenidate, vyvanse, modafinil or kratom.

A lot of semi companies have built their own simulation environments because the EDA vendor's provided tools are very limited in what they can do and difficult to use. Many users go to Python, Excel or MATLAB because the programming/math capabilities of the EDA tools are inadequate. Over time these home-grown environments become a burden and the developer disowns it and it becomes a headache.

The EDA tools have no ecosystem you can hook into and they don't really care about the user trying to put the simulators into a flow to solve their problem. It is a bunch of point tools each with their own embedded interpreter that don't play together. I sure hope there is a plan to create a better set of tools so I can write custom netlist checks and do something novel (like get derivatives out of the simulator) and in-memory (no slow disks) and run custom Julia checks during simulation. Julia is a much better match because running Python or MATLAB code within the simulator is way too slow. I'll keep watch for sure.

Ask HN: How did you manage personal finances when starting out your venture?
I'm an aspiring entrepreneur, willing to start my own business. However, I'm a recent undergrad without significant savings and I don't have a slam-dunk business idea that would yield me funding (or revenue) right now. How did you manage you personal finances in similar situations when you were starting out?
My understanding from younger colleagues is that entry-level positions are much more competitive than they were when I was leaving college and entering the tech market 10 or 12 years ago. At that time, my experience was that if you knew Linux (at all) or Windows/Mac administration - and were otherwise a good interviewee - you essentially had your choice of jobs.

People entering the market now talk about it like it's a complete wasteland. Apparently entry-level 'learn-on-the-job' tech work is extremely competitive and difficult to access for new graduates these days. If you're already 'in' and have a network and experience it's still largely like the glory days, but getting to that level is supposedly much more difficult now.

(To be fair to any younger people reading this, my entry-level tech job was at $28k/yr and I worked restaurants and bars until I was able to move on, so it's not like I got a degree and someone threw $150k at me to intern. It took a lot of work, even in the glory days)

Just about 100% of the US population have no experience with malaria. Yet it costs about $2 to provide a insecticide-treated net that protects on average 2 people for 2-3 years from malaria (while they sleep -- a common time for malaria transmission). There is arguably nothing you can do with $2 of resources in the US that can do as much good as this.

So, please focus on cost-effective charities with a proven track record, that use evidence-based methods to help individuals, and do it in a transparent way (so you know what's happening when you donate).

I've followed a few, Get Rich Slowly, Mr. Money Mustache, and Jim Collins, which has a great series of posts on long-term investing.

I'm wrapping up six months of unemployment this week, and I didn't have a care in the world during that time. We didn't lose money, our investments grew more than ever, and we spent lots of time together however we pleased. I'm not able to retire permanently, and I return to paid work on Tuesday, but there is great peace of mind in having "f-you money," especially if you do live a bit frugally and keep your mandatory, recurring expenses low.
Easy solution, right: give away all that money. (I'll take some...)
I think, if you ever find you have "too much money" there are plenty of good ways to get rid of some - for instance, if you have active revenue streams from businesses why not consider redirecting the profits you're taking in to employee welfare or starting a charitable society.

Also, getting grifted is always an option.

Oh lastly - might I suggest lobbying for a simplified tax code that results in you having less money?
