The thing is, the advantages of depending on HEAD vs. versioning dependencies have little to do with monorepo vs multiple repos. That is more a concern that depends on how your VCS is managed and how your build system interacts with your VCS, outside of Go tooling.

With normal build/package management systems, nothing stops you from setting up your CI/CD system to pick up the latest from master in 20 repos, and nothing stops you from configuring maven to pick up dependencies from different moments in history from various places in your monorepo.

Also, this whole 'build everything from head' can't work when shipping versioned software to customers that demand patches and security updates, unless you have absolutely perfect test coverage AND absolutely perfect backwards compatibility, up to the internal API level. This would be like shipping the latest kernel to fix a security problem on a 5 year old system running 2.something.

Ask HN: Speech to Text Journal App
It occured to me that my drive home would be an excellent time to be able to record a journal of the days activities. I would love to see a transcription of what I said in my Onedrive, or some journalling application on my laptop when I got home. I suppose this is the equivalent of speaking into a dictaphone and giving it to my PA in the morning, except I have neither a PA nor a dictaphone! Does this exist in the market already?

Otherwise lets discuss the architecture of potential software solutions!
> When EVERY random teenager can easily access these tools and learn these tricks, it's liable to start causing some larger scale problems that could indeed force change in the industry.

This stuff has been publicly available for decades. I learned using the MIT Guide to Lock Picking from 1991, and bought a lockpicking set online, and off I went. Nowadays it's just easier and more accessible (like most things).

I don't think editorials like these are really a good fit for HN. I think there's some interesting discussion to be had here, but maybe a link to some of the studies or articles referenced by the authors of the posted editorial, like the link below, is a better fit.

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3812642

I know it's a bit presumptuous to say what should be on HN, but consider that the academic articles will probably be more evidence based and quantitative and that will probably provide a better discussion.
I recently went looking for the studies that support the "more diverse corporations perform better" statistic that I keep hearing cited and was unable to find any. I can't read the whole article, so maybe some studies are linked further down than I can see, but it's interesting that the evidence (thin or not) is so hard to find.
What worked for me recently is fighting tech with tech. And by that, I mean I got a hand-me-down Apple Watch. It's the Series 3 (low end).

It does enough to keep me connected (SMS, e-mail, music), but the interface isn't all-absorbing like a phone, so I don't waste hours of my life doomscrolling. I end up doing just what's needed and moving on.

Note that if you need cellular connectivity, you'll have to get a used Series 3. Apple no longer makes a Series 3 with a cellular connection. Or you could get a Series 6 or an SE, if that's in your budget.
I think Microsoft Teams have something like this.
It's called "Together mode".

The phrasing probably wasn't ideal. I think they meant something different when they said "infinite demand" than what you mean.

I think what they mean is that it assumes that the demand curve, uh, I guess goes off to infinity (or just, some extremely large number which can be practically modeled as "infinity") near the current price,

meaning, that you could sell arbitrarily large amounts of it without substantially decreasing the price that people are willing to pay for it.

Which, yeah, that assumption seems false in practically relevant ways. If you sell a whole lot of [cryptotoken X], the price is likely to go down?
> Why is it that we have been able to eliminate things like Polio and Smallpox, yet there's doubt about COVID?

The vaccines for polio and smallpox are extremely effective (some polio vaccines are up to 100%) and pretty much everyone received them, for decades. Covid vaccines are likely somewhat less effective, and there's considerable hesitancy in some countries. The US will be lucky to get to 70%, at the moment, and France may be even worse, for instance.
Here's what happened to me. I dropped my phone at the bank, and it completely broke. The time to get a replacement was so long (2 weeks) I had to come up with another solution. So now I have a google voice number, already synced with my google contacts. I can access the calls, voicemails, and texts on my computer. I have a gps app on my tablet. The only thing I'm missing is a prepaid tracphone in case I need to dial 911.

It's not modern by any means, but do I -really- need 4G and calling where ever I go?

Probably actually, this shit sucks.

Right. On the one hand, we're comparing the U.S. dollar value of all crypto-assets, and on the other hand we're counting the amount of paper currency and coinage.

Given that crypto-assets do not have a physical form, why compare on this basis?

Well, that's obvious. If you look at a more-comparable monetary stock measures (say, M2, which includes dollars in checking, savings, small time-deposits and liquid money market funds) you find that the U.S. dollar number is more like $20tn and it looks a lot less exciting.

Let's also ignore the fact that the "market cap" of a crypto-asset in U.S. dollar terms is not a cash equivalent because, and let me go out on a limb here, if you tried to find a buyer for every bitcoin in circulation your VWAP would not be the current spot price.

Depends on the dog. Years ago I had a black lab who slept peacefully right through an entire burglary. They even had to step over him to get to my CD collection.
Is that Cisco or Sun in this analogy?
I haven't heard much from him lately not sure what he's up to.

I'd love to see an interview with him on his experiences with dependency management. What did he learn? What things in earlier attempts did he change in later attempts (from bundler to cargo to yarn)? What does he think he got rightest? What mistakes does he think he made? What mistakes does he think other people are still making? What features of a language or platform faciliate or challenge good dependency management? etc etc etc.

In general, I think there isn't much "learning from prior art" in our field that crosses language/platform boundaries. Katz being personally driving the implementing popular dependency management solutions on three different langauges/platforms was one way to actually learn from cross-language experience! I think in dependency management in particular, there are still a lot of lessons people are learning on their own not realizing another language/platform already learned some painful lessons on it... or maybe differences in langauges/platform mean some things aren't transferable...

That's the right way to look at it, missing just one crucial detail.

Costco pays for the items that appear on its shelves (excepting the <1% of goods that are on a consignment basis, usually new trial products). The distributor of the store brand and the name brand have already been paid for the products (and are usually the same company).

Amazon gets paid by the distributors (aka third party sellers) on Amazon.com for handling their sales (even in instances where it is not handling fulfillment), while also competing against them. That is where the anticompetitive concerns arise.

If Amazon just sold stuff through the Amazon.com seller, and didn't have third-party sellers, (or if it operated a separate website for third party sellers) that would be fine.
I was super-surprised when I used rust macros (specifically macro rules) about how lispy it was.

There was an aha-moment when I realised that it was token based and not AST based like some other macro systems I've worked with in some other languages.

Case in point is how to express varargs in macro rules which is expressed roughly like a comma followed by an expression repeated n times. Super nice.
Shopify.com isn't a marketplace that millions of customers directly visit. They make enough money as-is.
"Market cap" is borrowed from equity - the market cap of Apple for instance is determined by the number of shares of Apple outstanding x their price. But those shares have intrinsic value in that they grant you rights to a proportional amount of Apple's cash flow. If you were to destroy 50% of Apple's shares, the remaining half would be worth twice as much since the present value of Apple's cash flows hasn't changed.

Assets and currencies don't have market caps in any sense. Take a look back pre-Bitcoin and there are basically no references to the "market cap of Gold" or any such thing, they've all arisen due to the comparisons to Bitcoin. There's no intrinsic or underlying value, prices are purely trade driven. This doesn't make them "bad" per se, just completely different than something like Market Cap can capture.

As one other point for Bitcoin specifically, basically nobody knows how many Bitcoin are actually in circulation. There are a million+ lost / inactive. If someone moved a single BTC out of Satoshi's wallet, the price would very likely collapse nearly instantaneously. So how can a "market cap" be treated seriously if a single "share" trading hands at current market prices would collapse it. Bezos sells over $1 Billion of Amazon stock per year to no impact on AMZN.

Analyzing their own sales and analyzing other people's sales on their platform are two different things. Saying that Walmart may also try to do this in the future does not make it right or excusable.
Yeah similar to how the US government (Fauci, surgeon general) initially pretended masks wouldn't work to prevent a run on the supply.

Maybe government officials should just give the facts straight and not try to manipulate the public. Even if the lies work in the short run they have longer lasting effects on government trust (as I'd argue we're seeing now, a year later)

* In July 1984 the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) published an update to guidance note EH10, Asbestos – Control Limits, measurement of airborne dust concentrations and the assessment of control measures, which introduced a limit value of 0.01 fibre/ml.*

I'd have to say it's partly a "grass is greener" kind of thing.

Just like that one person at a job who apparently "does all the the work". At least according to them. To hear them tell it, the entire enterprise would collapse if they weren't holding it together by sheer force of will. But surprisingly, the place operated just fine before they were brought on and it'll operate fine after.

It's just that we get so focused on our contributions that we don't see what others do as contributions. I'm sure the parents who don't take the kids to soccer practice see soccer practice as "time off" to some degree. Sure, you have to drive and what not, but once you're there, you're just sitting around. And blah blah.

I think I may be experiencing this right now. We just bought a house and we've been getting it set up and what not. My wife is an elementary school teacher at the school her son attends. So she's finishing the school year in that district. And since it's an hour and half drive each way, it's easier for her and the kid to stay with her mother.

It's been a steady stream of ordering what we needed, building those things, etc. I've felt like I've not really had any time off. Especially since I'm doing this around work. I'm under the impression my wife has not seen it that way. Either through underestimating build times or just not being aware. I've pointed out things and she's said that she flat out did not notice.

Also, there's a thing the kid likes to do. There's a certain game we play and it's me and him. She can spectate, but the actual play involves me. I'm not 100% into this game for various reasons, but I recognize that it's important to him and it's also important to spend that time with him. It may be a response from my own childhood, but I do not brush off his requests for time lightly. And I don't dictate how we play or socialize either. I leave that mostly up to him. He needs to explore his own creativity and whatnot. I think my wife gets a touch jealous about the ways he favors me in some regards. And it's hard to talk about it, because in my opinion, it's because if she wants to do something else, she'll push it to "later" or she'll try and change the manner in which he plays because it's not "right". Basically, she's trying to define the interaction on her terms, while I allow him to define it on his.

But she probably sees some of the time I spend with him as "time off" whereas I see it as performing not exactly a chore, but not as leisure time either.

But who gets to define work and who gets to define leisure?

So, I have issues with the whole "emotional labor" movement. It reeks of the person I mentioned in the beginning, someone who can only see their own contributions.

Ultimately, it comes down to the question of whether or not something makes your life easier or harder. If it makes your life easier, maybe don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Personally, I think everyone should live truly alone, no roommates, no partners, just them and whatever pets they may have. See what it takes to literally do everything required. I think it would give a lot of people perspective.
