Literature, goods, and art aren’t the only things that define society. Protecting yourself and effectively killing your enemies is a central part of the human experience, just as much as those other things. Selflessness and bravery to that end has always been celebrated throughout human history because it’s necessary to the survival of societies.

In modern western society we can generally avoid looking that in the face, for the same reason we can buy packaged meat and separate ourselves from the mass slaughter of animals. But that doesn’t make that fact of life go away and at some level we all understand that.
Come on...this is just money laundering...right?
PuTTY accepts multiline pastes for me just fine, I use it with nano.

> Was Nikola Tesla a failure?

He was a brilliant innovator that added value to the world. He was a failed entrepreneur that did not recapture part of the value he created. That makes him a huge success in my books but I wish he was more comfortable and content in his final years.
iphone is magical; yet I'm replying on pixel3 right now despite recently moving to 12 max pro. I'm now carrying 2 phones around. the iPhone for the camera and the pixel for the superior usability. magical I tell you.

That is the problem right here. Stop beating yourself up. Everybody is lazy. All these people having sideprojects make 90% of a months progress on 1 weekend or a single day they have off from work.

For me it helped to spend less time on HN.

Regarding hobbies: They should be fun first and foremost. Don't focus on the progress. Focus on having an easy and relaxing time.
I remember watching this in the 80's and it felt like cheating. In exchange for 25 minutes of your time you get the gist of Special Relativity.

The proper way is the way we have been doing: dispassionately and scientifically. Study them the same way we study nature. Maybe marvel at the things that make societies especially effective on their own terms. Avoid moral judgments, in the same way we don’t judge a praying mantis for eating her mates.
I was doing a PhD in CS and one of the professors asked me to stop using LaTeX as it is “awful”.

Let’s just say that the fact that Electron needs to allocate hundreds of MB in memory to display a single “Hello world” text does not depose in Electron’s favor.

Compare it with the few MBs needed by an equivalent native app with exactly same functionality.

By any standard and by any metric, Electron is bloated. Some applications (like VSCode) can disguise it quite well and give a an acceptable user experience.
Do the cows like seaweed? Serious question, if they are starving and nothing else is available I guess they will eat it, much like I would also eat things I wouldn't normally eat if I were starving, but is it ok to feed them stuff that only serves our purpose (if thats really the case)?
Typora is best WYSIWYG Markdown app
My other account (bootstrapper101) got throttled. Maybe @dang can help merge this tomorrow.

I could maybe spend 5000 words and still not be able to say all I want to say about this.

The ideas were all over the place: Social, Enterprise, Consumer, Saas.

I learnt over time that once you have failed so many times, you start avoiding obvious mistakes. Mistakes like polishing your app before launch, wasting time on PR, building too many features, not spending enough time qualifying your users.

Once you build enough products you start knowing the impact of things like:

1. Marketplace products: supplier and consumer chicken and egg problem)

2. Single player mode: you don't need your friends to be on the app and you can get immediate value as soon as you start.

3. Social products: Where degree matters. Most IM products can provide a lot of value of if 1-3 of your close friends are on it. But products like Facebook needs 50+ friends, Twitter needs strangers.

4. See if you LTV (life time value) > CAC (customer acquisition cost) + Operation cost + Development cost

5. Customer acquisition strategies: Programmatic (ads, crawler), Sales team, Referral, Content marketing

There are so many other small things. These concepts are like different lego pieces and over time you find which one works better for your product and you use the right pieces.

Biggest takeaway was how to do faster iteration, brutally prioritize and automate everything. Everything else is learning along the way!

Likewise, our society practices things which would be abhorrent to most ancient societies. I do think we are doing better than most of them, but how can I know what is my own bias from being in this society?

If I may, what did you finally settle on?
Well, you can do that already. It's the existing business model.

This is an alternative, for consumers that maybe weren't interested in buying a gun that they can only use in GTA:O, but maybe would be interested in buying a gun from [Game A] knowing that [Game B] and [Game C] (which they already play) allows them to use that same gun in their game. And that nobody else can have that particular gun in those games.

The technology (NFTs) is not really the end-all-be-all, it is lubricant which is intended to make the above use case more likely by enticing buy-in that would otherwise be less appealing.

This is all very cool, and FWIW I also love the retro design.

Sorry if I missed it, but one thing I couldn't find on the website is what legal entity is behind the service. It would be important for me and the organisations I work with to know who we are trusting with our data.

It might even be a legal obligation to have that info on the site depending on which country you are located in (Germany for sure, not sure about others).
I am happy it worked for you.

However, for me it didn't. Trying to "power through it" for me lead down a dark path towards a burnout.

Everybody needs their own narrative. What matters in the end is getting rid of negative thoughts that tell us we are not good enough. The way we get there probably is very different for everybody.
Thanks for sharing @rayiner. I haven't looked at it.
so i used to go to a bank, show my ID, open an account, wait for a bunch of random restrictions on Zelle limits to pass, ACH payments to go through for many days, and other crap to settle.

Now it's the same exact routine through Coinbase. Upload my ID, wait for them to allow me to actually move amounts more than a kid's lunch money, wait for days on end to withdraw, etc etc.

And in the end some of these payments in both flows are handled by Visa. I'm missing the "wow" part of this deal.
Why USB-C but not Thunderbird? Seems like pennypinching.

Show HN: Convert your salary to hourly rate. See how much you make per hour
It's interesting how entropy maps to arts. Some art has almost no surprises, like romantic novels and pop songs. Other forms of art like experimental music and theater of absurd is built around surprises. Depending on your tastes you would seek out art with just the right amount of surprises that keeps you engaged. The brain struggles to find the meaning in consumed media. If it is too easy to find then the content is trivial and boring, if it is too hard then content is frustratingly inaccessible (and often labeled as pretentious). For example the prog rock music is to my tastes a just right mix of familiar structures and frequent surprises.

It is curious how same art piece becomes more enjoyable after you experience it multiple times. For me the song enjoyment peaks around forth listening. It's like brain enjoys repeating same surprises over and over. I'd guess that can be explained by experience of the reward that comes from brain creating a successful model of input that can perfectly predict next parts.

One case that stands out from this predictability-of-art model is modern sitcom format. Generally the humor is built around concept of surprising with punchline, but many sitcoms are just repeating same joke in predictable way. Instead of actual humor they are just broadcasting "this bit right here is supposed to be funny" every couple of seconds. The laugh track creates conditioning that triggers good emotions in people. Just find a sitcom video with laughing track removed and see how eerie they become.

Anyway this is more about how mind experiences entropy, and has nothing to do with information theory itself. For that I would recommend a great book The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood. The historical treatment of information storage (writing) and transmitting (communication) is especially good.
We stopped buying anything new (except non-avoidable stuff like car parts, house parts, etc). All clothes, tools, electronics, house parts which can be used (doors, etc), silverware, dishes, books, sheets, etc is all bought on the local marketplace from people in our city. I visit the scrapyard weekly to pick out things which I use for my workshop or for whatever else that is available there. Could still improve on food, we like meat.
the art perfectly captures someone desperately trying to be relevant despite having nothing to say.
Well, "not-terrible" is not what I would use to describe this though. Then again I'm not a fan of "you just don't understand this random mix of poo and paint" kind of art. No, I don't get why for example 5000 digital scribbles are more valuable or meaningful than 5000 random posts from deviantart. Or Dilbert comic strips or most recent memes on Reddit, which at least are funny at times. How is this act of creating subpar images supposedly more meaningful than a hoarder's decades-long collection of stuff in their home?

Am I wrong to find creations less valuable when I cannot enjoy them? Call it performance art or whatever else you like, it's still nothing more than an overpriced collection of an artist's shitposts. But alright, it's not my money.
Running a free newsletter has been an easy thing to do for decades.

The only reason to use substack is name recognition and maybe payments are slightly easier.

Easier said that done during a pandemic, but for me, the trick is to get out of the house. If I work in a public space - say a tea shop or a cafe (some of which are open in the evenings) - I tend to work. If I stay home, I tend to lounge.
Except they are all pretty terrible.
I see it as a type of performance art to put all of your work out there (even the really bad stuff you did as a teenager) and preserving that in a time where you can easily delete stuff online (I know it can't really be deleted but probably nobody would start to dig).
I still think the 69M deal was a sham (as described in the other article).
Timeline:

7 years: Work for someone else. Try 5 ideas on the side. Save money

3 years: Tried 2 ideas and spent all the money

4 years: Worked for someone else. Tried 20 ideas on the side. Last became profitable and then I quit.

It was really tough. I was working 14 hours every day between full time job and my other ideas.

I grew up really poor, so had to do it the hard way. But I had an overwhelming desire to not work for someone else. That kept me going.

We delayed having kids because of this and that is my biggest regret.
This is the benchmarking loop:

for (size_t i = 0; i < N; i++) {
out[i++] = g();
}

N is 20000 and the time measured is divided by N. [1] However, that loop has two increments and only computes 10000 numbers.

This is also visible in the assembly

add x8, x8, #2

So if I see this correctly the results are off by a factor of 2.

Interesting. I must have missed that smoked tobacco is a MAOI. But it is significant, i.e., noticeable?
I can imagine hacking someone's personal biology so that they, in normal situation, feel pain and remorse and guilt like anyone else, but can switch it off with simple drugs and without debilitating side effects like morphine dependency.

That said, this does not seem to be the future of the military. Robots can do things that humans cannot (e.g. fly, move around in asphyxiating gas), they do not have to be trained, can be produced much faster etc.
Nothing is stopping you from creating a new cryptocurrency either. That doesn't mean other people will give you $60k for your custom bitcoins.

Only the original NFT (which has a unique address) is cautioned by the artist, that's what gives it value.
I'm not really sure why, unless one is a moral relativist.

Of course, I don't mean that it isn't necessary to take into account what background situation they are in, and what the consequences of different policies would be.

Perhaps gluttony is always bad, but the amount and types of harm it causes depends on the food supply. And similarly, perhaps slavery is always wrong, but different cultures have practiced different forms of it, which had varying degrees of wrongness, perhaps some of which could even have been less wrong than our prison labor system.

We do not judge someone who is struggling to pay for their own food much for neglecting to provide food for the homeless they pass by, at least not compared to someone who is very wealthy passing by the same person. In the same way, perhaps we could speak about our current society having much greater wealth and resources than the society of the past, and therefore is able to afford to do more, and therefore has more of an obligation to do more,
but none of this should change the truth that good is good and bad is bad, and the nature of the good is the same throughout time.

I find the art style of your website quite curious.

Regarding the pricing and product: I do understand that some agencies may be willing to pay a few bucks to use your product. But over the long term, I'd expect that someone creates an open source gatsby plugin that outperforms your product.

Or Am I missing something?
Things aren't given fundamental value by being an NFT so its weird to expect anything other than the value of ownership of what your NFT gives you. If people are buying NFTs thinking they have value simply because they are NFTs they are going to lose money. What an NFT provides is effectively a way to guarantee the artist - in this case. Think of it like a signed original print from an artist - what an NFT does is effectively similar.
It's pretty obvious they are planning that. I read through the license and it's mostly AGPL and MIT, but its top level is a MATTERMOST-license.

Anyways, good on them for sharing the code.
I recently moved (almost) all of my note taking into Obsidian [0]. They just released a closed beta mobile app (they are very active in development and great community), but they are local first app.

edit: To clarify, using they mobile app will require paid subscription in all scenarios, I think (not sure, as I don't need that).
Awesome. With a build step to do some data conversion I can see this being a more accessible option than rendering with canvas or SVG. Not that tables are that accessible but still, a better option. I think you could make that into the main selling point for your apporoach as it's an overlooked and difficult area of visualisation.

Apart from different chart types, examples on how to rig data/image export will make this even more usefull.

I currently work on accessibility guidelines for visualisations at a national bureau of statistics. This came just at the right time for me as I'm exploring options to improve accessibility beyond the capabilities of libraries like highcharts, vega, charts.js etc. Don't hesitate to contact me. I'm very interested in the possibilities in this approach.
Anything Leonardo even touched should be worth at least that.
Build back better.
That's just not true. I checked out the source code because I was curious; it's ‘only’ 7.9M loc. I would guess that somebody slipped an extra 0 in there by accident (though I'm still not sure how they got that number, because the true tale is smaller than 7.96M).
What is the point of this? It is a really simple calculation, I don't need a website for it.
Cryptotrader.tax automates it, fwiw.
What are your skillsets? How did you get there?
Modern “art” is very often offensive, but usually that is seen as a good thing. It’s “irreverent”, it “challenges norms”. I suppose the problem is that this particular hack challenges the wrong norms?
I liked the stylus. More precise than a fingertip, which it wanted to be on a screen that small. Although you could use a fingernail too, in a pinch. People pointed at the resistive screen as evidence it wasn't as good as an iPhone, but the thing is that it was a very, very good resistive screen. High resolution, accurate, and you didn't need to mash it to get it to register.
Being one of the highest prices ever paid at auction for a piece of art, i think it would definitely raise a lot of eyebrows. If not more. At least as an nft, it can be attributed to the crypto bubble.

If an art book from a completely unknown artist sold his art at a Christie's auction for $69m, i think everyone would assume something nefarious was going on.
So privacy policy and terms of service in a notion document, are you serious? If I become a user, I have no idea if you are going to change the terms after I have joined it.
These makers they build websites, want user data by hiding transparency, user ethics. Its a big joke.

Side note: in this case, ample following does not necessarily imply art value.

It’s easy to get stuck in wanting to create but fearing your art will not be as good as what pro artists produce, so you procrastinate on it forever. Folks start dailies (beeple is far from the only one) to force themselves to improve quality through sheer quantity. Other folks follow them to get inspired, and a major component of that is seeing that what a dailies guy makes is, to put it bluntly, not that good and you can picture yourself making something even better.

So, someone posts a daily -> people realize it’s not necessarily so great in absolute terms, but still they comment good things and encourage the artist -> people see that a mediocre work gets positive comments and feel safer creating and publishing something of their own, eventually perpetuating the loop.

As art communities grow, so do follower/like counts, and platform’s algorithms pick up on that and start promoting these to non-artists from the outside who can get mixed up in this mini-bubble: “who’s that with so many followers? I’ll join in, with that number of likes their artwork must be good.”
The LaTeX (declarative) approach is better. It's so much easier to write consistent, professional looking documents that way. The other (imperative) way is more like MS Word, and we all know how that turns out. Other declarative styles that are popular include markdown and html.

WeWork was a dud. That doesn’t show in any way that these advantages can’t work for commercial real estate, just that nobody’s done it yet.
Even though it was a failure the Jolla tablet exists in the wild in very low numbers. It's running Sailfish OS which is a fully linux mobile OS that can be used as a daily driver. I was a backer of that kickstarter, and I'm sad they didn't work it out to do a full release.
That is apparently wrong [0]. I recently heard a podcast with some of the scientists involved. They were very frustrated with how hard it had been to get any attention at all for the negative result compared with the original research.

You're already doing light exercises which was part of the solution for me.

The next step is a bad one - you actually have to turn the television off, it won't do it for you.

I think also you may be a bit overwhelmed by all the things you feel you should be doing, to the point you don't want to do any of them. So try to forget about them for a while.

Take walks in your neighborhood. Try to notice something that has changed, or is still the same.

In a few weeks maybe the mood will strike to have a cup of tea, and do some reading. Maybe not, maybe next week you'll learn something new.

Eta had the value of a long mid front vowel (long "e"). German "See" is very close, but for English, the closest approximation is probably "say", which is a diphthong. This refers to Ancient classical pronunciation, before the Hellenistic period.

It is definitely not a hight front vowel ("see"), which is the value it had in Koine and has in modern Greek.

How does the number of pixels (or even monitors, for that matter), affect that much sleeping time?
