Practical Guide to Running a Single-Person Startup
There are countless playbooks for startup success out there, which will apply to both teams and solo founders. But the following are themes that are usually encountered through work that are most applicable to those going alone.

1. Always be learning
2. Delegate to accumulate
3. Use Your Environment as Inspiration

I know that each of us has a different journey, and that’s what makes it interesting. So let’s do this together. I’m going to end this article with some questions to ask yourself: What are the major challenges facing my business? How can I overcome these challenges? What can I learn from these experiences?

Here's the link https://medium.com/thinking-pandas/practical-guide-to-running-a-single-person-startup-6fac62808ee0?source=friends_link&sk=35ce3f7d514f5f64196002ed25be29ac

> Surely criticizing Lambda is far less useful than criticizing the university system, which provides far worse outcomes for far more money?

You have to compare apples to apples. The university system encompasses far more than Lambda school. I think a fair comparison would be how well does the average person with a degree in CS or Software Engineering from a university do (or even maybe a community college so the timespan is closer to a boot camp)? In my experience the answer is very well.

> But… which implications?

On some naive interpretation of averagism, a very efficient way to raise average happiness is to just kill the unhappy. Or sterilize them.

And I agree that averagism is more intuitive, at least to me. It does lead to the conclusion that we should discourage making kids and focus on improving the happiness of a small population, but to some people, saying "have fewer kids" is some sort of genocide apologism for some reason...
Although it looks bad, I'm actually curious how many people turned this on. I have barely any experience with Synology; when you start using one, does it actively ask you to use btrfs?

I highly recommend reading Vincent Woo's piece about Lambda to understand the criticism better with actual evidence.
https://vincentwoo.com/2020/05/19/on-lambda-school/

It's also arguably not an equivalent comparison. Many people attending these bootcamps have already graduated college and tend to forgo work to attend - there is a huge opportunity cost even if they don't directly lose money. I have no reason to believe the model wouldn't work, but there's ample evidence that the implementation of the model via Lambda is flawed.
Why does TypeScript use javascript as a compile target and not web assembly?
The argument is "this app, which promises privacy and security in ways I do not have the skills to verify, is made by people who also think cryptocurrencies are a good idea". That is a pretty compelling argument to people who think cryptocurrencies are all about scams and/or useless pollution (a sizeable portion of society). It suggests that the people behind Signal may not be as trustworthy as they're made out to be.

Whether or not a bunch of competent security gurus on HN assure us that yes, Signal is still great and no, Moxie didn't go nuts, doesn't really influence the validity of that argument outside tech circles. Don't forget that we've all spent years training our aunts and nephews to not trust the companies that make the apps they use. It's a major marketing mistake and they should've known better.

Also, ApplePay has nowhere near the same stigma associated with it as cryptocurrencies do, I think your comparison is silly.

FWIW, if Signal was new today and someone would pitch me "a super secure messaging app with built-in crypto payments" I'd not easily get enthusiastic. I've been trained to treat any pitch that includes the word "crypto" or "token" with high suspicion, because of the crap magnets those technologies have been historically. Too many people's "get rich quick" schemes sounded exactly like that a few years ago.
Electricity is fungible.
> Colleges are predatory

I see this argument all the time when such predatory bootcamps are brought up. Firstly Universities, notwithstanding their shortcomings, have a long history going back to millennia. Their importance in human history is unparalleled. While some US American universities have turned into debt traps, it's not the same case universally. It is unfair to compare these predatory bootcamps with universities.
Where in [1] does it state that 4 died? There seems to be 2 women who died. Patient 3, a man who were discharged and healthy. Patient 4, discharged, healthy. Patient 5, is unclear I think, wether it survived or deceased.

One important thing to note that this post kind of hints at: JavaScript can be optimized more than equivalent WebAssembly if you give the JS runtime enough help, because it can use runtime-only information to produce better-optimized JS. It can exploit type information gathered during runtime to devirtualize method calls and produce type-specialized code, while also doing things like escape analysis to eliminate some allocations entirely. You have to carefully identify places in your native code where you can do unchecked array accesses, etc, but the JS runtime just figures it out for you.

For any of those optimizations to happen for your WASM code, the compiler has to be able to do it statically and that can be much harder. Devirtualization in particular is essential for Java or C# to run fast and some C++ codebases also benefit tremendously from it. If you're interacting a lot with JS APIs from WASM (like issuing network requests or creating DOM elements, etc) you're going to be dealing with lots of dynamically typed data, and in those scenarios handwritten JS may actually be faster than WASM because the runtime can JIT optimal code with the right type specializations.

Note that these optimizations will fail if you aren't careful about how you write your JS: If a given function f(x,y) is passed values of different types during execution, it probably won't be fully optimized. If you have two functions f1(x,y) and f2(x,y) and ensure that each one is only passed values of a certain type, they will both be heavily optimized (iirc the JS runtime terminology for these functions is 'monomorphic') Naturally, this means uses of Function.apply and Function.call should be avoided at all costs.
Does this actually make it significantly harder to finger print?
Moby Dick was one of the first "real" books I touched as child.
I got it from the school library over the summer vacations.
I have to admit that I too found the asides boring and only managed to get about halfway through until the end of the vacations. At the beginning of the new school year I had to return it but had the intent to borrow it again to finish it. I never did and this must be the longest open point on my personal to do list. I wonder if - after so much time has passed - I still would find the asides boring...
It's not directly saying adding more people, it's just saying if we take world A, and world B and compared them. This video gives a bit of a feel for the comparison steps that lead you to the repugnant conclusion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqBl50TREHU
I clearly misunderstood you but can you explain how you've come to that conclusion?

I'm trusting their whitepaper but it looks to me that fog provides similar security guarentees between MyMonero (shared view key) and other light wallets (computation on device).

I don't see how the privacy could be any worse than MyMonero even if SGX was compromised.
TS predates WASM by years and WASM is also not adequate for executing TS.
> Does it mean if I had a rooted phone I could get the call recording working on latest Android?

Some phone hardware architecture can't let the AP (the Processor running Android) access the call audio (because the audio stream is routed directly from the mic/speaker to the modem).
On those no amount of root hacking will allow you to record calls.
Nevertheless this is rare nowadays where all the audio goes through an ADSP connected to the AP.

Your best bet is to find a phone manufacturer/vendor that advertise call recording support. Alternatively search on call recording website like [1] which phone they support rooted.

I find that it's a habit you can build. If you read for 20 minutes a day, and keep it up for a few weeks, that might be all you need to keep the habit going for the rest of the year.

For some personality types, it's easy to get intensely interested in reading something, but it can be hard to keep up that intensity.

First of all, I don't think you should program in CPS yourself but use proper language support if it's available. Otherwise just leave it at that. Code is read much more often than written. You also don't use Church-Encoding or De-Bruijn variables if you can avoid it.

Secondly, what's the point when you have to inline? If your function would return an optional and you inline it, you would get the same effect from any decent compiler.

in my own amateur philosopher can't get to sleep what should i think about sort of thinking, i "solved" this by stating that when considering global outcomes you must use statistics, and that not just the sum of the distribution but also its means, variance, and (in particular) lower quartile also matters.

So for me the repugnant conclusion fails because there's some point where it's unfair to the person least well off on the planet to add an additional person, as they will as a result fall below some bar for quality of life.

i'm not a philosopher but i can't see the holes in this argument.

it also applies to "eating meat allows cows to live so is good" -- well, no, because you have to dig into the details of what the distribution of welfare looks like for those cows.

What a hilarious claim. Everything else you've said just confirms you've fallen for the "BTC bad" narrative. I wonder how you feel about you-know-who printing unlimited toilet paper money for their own benefits.
Your comment starts out making sense then starts to make some weird assumptions and makes the same mistake you're calling out in reverse...

Like "easy", who defines that? Is it easy because it just takes time? By that logic most things in tech are easy right?

In reality it's time spent on stuff often not relevant to a job at all, it's being used as an artificial filter.

Remember this isn't just about knowing, it's about being able to regurgitate it from memory on demand in a timed high pressure test

> has nothing to do with your educational background

Yes it does? People learn this stuff literally because of their educational background.

You can do some pretty amazing things in tech never memorizing half the things you'd need to for Leetcode.

--

I'm self-taught, and I know my data structures and algorithms, but I don't know algorithms and their nuances by heart so I don't Leetcode nearly as well as my YOE implies.

I see it as a two way street though, I don't want to work at a place that will turn someone down for not running a hamster wheel...

The venn diagram of "positions that need you to know this without any time to look them up" and "positions that ask you to know them without looking them up during the interview" is practically two circles touching.

I have no problem for jobs that actually need that mind you, but so many jobs couldn't tell you where the practical application of their Leetcode questions would ever come up on the job if their lives depended on it

It's never been a blocker for me, my TC is easily as high as what it'd be at Google or FB and I work on cool things.
Suppose happiness can be quantified, e.g., 1 billion people each have 10 happiness, for a total of 10 billion happiness.

Then 10 billion people with 1.1 happiness each yield 11 billion total happiness. They are, collectively, happier.

And 100 billion people with 0.111 happiness each are, collectively, even happier.

And 1 trillion people with 0.01111 happiness each are, collectively, even happier.

Etc, etc.

The ‘repugnant conclusion’ is that this sequence never ends. You can argue for ever higher populations based on total happiness even though individual happiness approaches zero.

It’s obvious nonsense.
I agree. I hear a lot made of Deno's "security" but process flags don't really make me feel much more secure when I've had to enable most of them anyway. At that point they just start getting in the way and giving me a false sense of security.
Unfortunately at the great expenses of usability.

Can TS be compiled directly to WASM? I don't think WASM and JS are 1:1 compatible, but I'm out of my depth here.
I think you mean https://www.blinkist.com/. I used it for a year, it's great for those low-density books. But really I'd like to read books, only the ones that are really interesting and valuable. My problem is that I don't want to spend money on ones that I then find are not worth the time. Perhaps someone can recommend a good subscription service with decent selection? How does scribd selection compare to amazon?
So AssemblyScript can beat JavaScript if you benchmark every function and then optimize them by hand every time it is slower?

So most (all?) of the code posted which looked like a straight port to AssemblyScript was slower than JavaScript before optimizing it? I don‘t know how you feel, but i personally don‘t want to optimize every function to get the promised speed :(
It seems that you think I'm arguing in favor of BTC being successful in the long term. That's not what I'm doing. I'm explaining the idea of it being a hedge against the printing. I'm not advocating for buying it on that basis, or on any basis.

All I'm doing, is explaining as best I can, why someone might see it as a "hedge" against large amounts of money printing.

If it is valued by people at some time (it has a price that people are buying and selling it at, whether in exchange for some currency like USD or for pizzas), and the value for the USD (in the sense of "how many pizzas / market-basket-of-goods does it buy?") is going down as a result of the quantity of money being printed-and-introduced-into-the-economy being unexpectedly very large, if that sort of event isn't positively correlated (as in, in the probabilities that people assign to future outcomes) with the value (in the same sense of number of pizzas) of btc going down, that could be something people see as merit-worthy in it.

People conceivably could want to hold something which is both easily exchangable, and highly subdivisible, and which has such a property, .... provided that they didn't expect the number of pizzas it buys to rapidly decrease.

I do wonder though, why there isn't simply a common financial instrument which pays out with the price of some market basket of goods at a designated time? It seems like such an instrument would serve much the same appeal.

Perhaps the issue is that, in order for people to be willing to issue such an asset, one would have to pay them a large amount to account for the risk that they are taking on?

There's also the issue that one would presumably have to keep actively buying more of such an instrument if one wanted to hold large portions of it over time.
I would love to meet a bootcamp grad with no programming experience that got into Jane Street. They would have to be truly exceptional, given the onus they put on CS fundamentals (for example they sponsor OPLSS).
pro-tip - use Firefox for diagnosing CORS issues. It has much better error messages than the alternatives.
I frankly wish they just had same parental controls instead of blocking whole apps. All they have to do is install a switch saying you can/can’t see 18+ content. You could have the have apps hook into that setting. It’d be really nice actually to say not be able to interact with under 18s in public channels — the liability risk (both legally/socially) of interacting with minors in any semi-adult context often is too high. I’d rather have a wall.

They are “protecting the brand” in their eyes but frankly nobody thinks of an app on the App Store as “Apple”. At the same time I understand their want to not be known as a place you can find porn, but they ship a /web browser/ so it’s not like they’re preventing anything.

It's not. All of the DNMs have switched to Monero already. Ransomware is also changing to Monero. Anyone using Bitcoin for illegal stuff at this point will be caught.

The problem is nothing to do with btrfs itself, synology intentionally disabled its usage on specific models in a firmware update (supposedly because it wasn't supposed to be enabled in the first place - but had let or allowed people to do so for some time).
Correct - But that doesn’t mean that money is backed by time, either.

Since it seems like some folks are responding to the headline here, not the actual article:

Btrfs was never supported nor advertised to be supported on these lower end devices. But, it seems like if you created the btrfs drives on another device that did officially support them, you could then import them onto the unsupported hardware platform.

Still, its a bad look for Synology. Seems like the lack of btrfs on the lower end devices was merely artificial product segmentation, not an actual hardware limitation.
