With all due respect you need a lesson in statistics. 15,000 people can be a great sample size, and saying that 56% of republicans are over 50 implies nothing about the percentage of people over 50 who are republicans.
Monitors are more expensive for the size and lack features people expect. There is typically no remote control and you're not going to get component or composite inputs.

I use a monitor as a TV but it doesn't have optical out just a horrid horrid headphone jack so I had to buy a HDMI switch and universal remote just to mimic what a TV does.

I've been using LabVIEW for 15 years, first in an academic and scientific setting, then for machine vision in surveillance, then as the HMI for industrial robots. It is, for all intents and purposes, a general purpose programming language, and I think it would be more popular if it wasn't so stupid expensive.

I was never interested in or good at coding, but LabVIEW made sense to me. Now I'm using programming principles I learned in LabVIEW and re-implementing them in C++ and C#. It's been a journey.
When the median of a normal distribution shifts just a little bit, it causes a significant increase in the frequency of extreme-tail events. The broader warm season didn't cause the heat wave, but they are two effects of the same underlying cause.
0.3% of German emissions or 0.007% of Global emissions is the emission of half a million of people with average emissions or more than 20 million africans.

As for your comment on local vs global maxima i don't see any reason why optimizing a number should be non convex, such that local optima and global optima differ.

My past experience has been working at startups doing full-stack web development on various tech stacks, most recently I developed an indie VR game with UE4 (https://cmadams.itch.io/preydrivr) and especially excited about any chance to work in VR/AR, although I'm open to both VR/AR and traditional web applications.
I think what the author did here hits hard on why hacker news is such a great resource. To quote:

> Most fields have a problem with ‘ghost knowledge’, hard-won practical understanding that is mostly passed on verbally between practitioners and not written down anywhere public. At least in programming some chunk of it makes it into forum posts.

I'd be incredibly interested in seeing a series of posts like this, where authors mine hacker news and other forums for insights that they consolidate (then repost here).

What other topics do y'all think HN provides unique insight on?
The biggest broker in the world?

I use both Robinhood and Schwab, and the Robinhood app is absolutely terrible.

The visual aesthetic is nice, but usability is awful... I don't really understand the hype. For example they have no dedicated orders screen to cancel limit order that I can tell. There's an "inbox" where your limit order will show up after some delay. I placed an order once and decided to cancel it, but the inbox message didn't show up for 5 minutes, so I had no way to cancel it.

Also you can't see older than 5? years on stock charts. Or zoom or anything, only specific presets.

Finally, I bought a small amount of crypto, and did a market order sell once, and my fill price was like 10% under current market value. Obviously market orders are bad, but most brokers have safeguards that prevent executing them at such a difference from last traded price.

Anyway, bad experience all around. I imagine the only people who use it seriously are those that haven't tried more serious brokers, or that don't know any better.

The idea behind Robinhood is good, but it could be done so much better. So many obviously bad design elements

Key Components of our Results of Operations

Revenues

Transaction-based revenues

Transaction-based revenues consist of amount earned from routing customer orders for options, equities and cryptocurrencies to market makers. When customers place orders for equities, options or cryptocurrencies on our platform, we route these orders to market makers and we receive consideration from those brokers. With respect to equities and options trading, such fees are known as PFOF. With respect to cryptocurrency trading, we receive “Transaction Rebates.” In the case of equities, the fees we receive are typically based on the size of the publicly quoted bid-ask spread for the security being traded; that is, we receive a fixed percentage of the difference between the publicly quoted bid and ask at the time the trade is executed. For options, our fee is on a per contract basis based on the underlying security. In the case of cryptocurrencies, our rebate is a fixed percentage of the notional order value. Within each asset class, whether equities, options or cryptocurrencies, the transaction-based revenue we earn is calculated in an identical manner among all participating market makers. We route equity and option orders in priority to participating market makers that we believe are most likely to give our customers the best execution, based on historical performance, and we do not consider transaction fees when routing orders. For cryptocurrency orders, we route to various market makers that we believe offer competitive pricing, and we do not consider Transaction Rebates when routing cryptocurrency orders.

Net interest revenues
Net interest revenues consist of interest revenues less interest expenses.
We earn interest revenues and incur interest expenses on securities lending transactions. We also earn interest revenues on margin loans to users, as well as on our segregated cash, cash and cash equivalents, and deposits with clearing organizations. We also incur interest expenses in connection with our revolving credit facilities.

Other revenues
Other revenues primarily consist of Robinhood Gold, a monthly paid subscription service that provides users with premium features such as enhanced instant deposits, professional research, Nasdaq Level II market data and, upon approval, access to margin investing. Other revenues also include proxy rebate revenues and miscellaneous fees charged to users.
I hope they add support for installing Homebrew itself with Cakebrew soon -- that's the one caveat I see that makes me hesitate to recommend this to newbies. If the goal is to avoid the terminal, having to use the terminal in the installation process isn't great.
The author alludes to problems related to complexity, modularity, and formatting, of visual code. I think a hard problem for visual languages is the sheer physical labor of creating code using drawing tools.

I used LabVIEW extensively for a few months, and ended up with crippling wrist fatigue and eyestrain headaches from all of the fine mouse work and menu selections needed to write even small programs. This is an ergonomic problem with all graphical software, but is particularly acute with programming because of the amount of code that gets written.

Another problem is innovation. You can quickly spin up an experimental language and try it out because the infrastructure -- editor and command shell -- already exist. This is one reason why we enjoy such a proliferation of new language ideas. New ideas in graphical software require intensive effort to try out.

On the other hand, there does seem to be something about data flow programming (LabVIEW, Excel) that is attractive to beginners, that can't be overlooked. Excel is probably the number-one programming tool in use right now.

What a strange thing to say in an official corporate document...
When I switch apps (e.g. Youtube, Netflix, Plex, etc.), the switcher has several rows of media that I must scroll past. That media usually comprises of media that I am not subscribed to and would have to pay to access (e.g. mostly random shows or movies). There were no ads (from Vizio) once I was inside of an app.

I don't subscribe to TV/cable/satellite. I only have Youtube Premium (ad free Youtube videos; not Youtube TV), Netflix, Amazon Prime TV, Nebula, and a local Plex server.

One of the requirements of radio equipment is that it must not be easily user modifiable to operate on the wrong frequencies. In the past, that has been construed to include where a user could use a soldering iron to replace a resistor. So certainly changing some DIP switches counts too.

I am too lazy to go dig up the links, but there were many, many people on HN who declared Robinhood completely dead after they temporarily prevented users from transacting GME… they said they would either go bankrupt or users would just completely stop using them, and they were absolutely and comically convinced of that. HN should stick to programming opinions :-)

As someone who works in science, it’s because it mostly feels like a solution looking for a problem. The “unit” U gives the same vibes to scientists as some classes/abstractions thought up by creative programmers feel to software engineers. Imagine your colleague saying you should use a function called

def doc(val, docstring):
if __debug__:
print("using value described as %s" % docstring)
return val

like in

x = doc(5, "number of fingers on one hand")

because “this leads to incredibly readable code, and the compiler won’t compile it if you don’t include the string.” Could it be valuable in principle? Sure. In practice? Just a nuisance. A comment will do.

I don’t think I, or my colleagues, have ever run into an issue with ambiguity arising from unitless quantities.

Robinhood closed my brokerage account after I did transferred out assets (via ACATS transfer, to get a signup bonus with another brokerage without realizing capital gains).

A few months later I asked how to reopen the account, using the "reopen account" form in their app to generate a support ticket. Three weeks later they sent an email saying that my account was permanently closed and I should apply for a new account. Replies to this email yielded a response saying that their email server was failing to accepting messages.

So as requested I applied for a new account; the application stayed pending for three weeks, then I got an email autoreply telling me that my application is denied because I have a preexisting account (i.e. the old closed one). Replies to this email also yielded a response saying that their email server was failing to accepting messages.

I filed a new support case explaining what had happened, what they told me to do, and asking what I should do next. No reply whatsoever.

>There are NOT a "large number" of visual programming tools that are roughly in the paradigm [...] like LabVIEW.

They list half a dozen or so. Most of the node based systems are also flow oriented, aka nodes are functional and stateless which allows them to be mapped across any amount of input.

It's a neat pattern but it's really not as uncommon as you think. The mainstream shader languages work this way, for example.
I'm curious if you've tried Simulink? Because my experience with visual programming tools maps largely to yours. Especially the RAD tools of the late-90's and early-00's. Eventually you get to a place where the "simple" thing is a dizzying array of radio buttons and check boxes to manage that are all hidden away in their own little silos that you can only get to by drilling down through the visual hierarchy.

This becomes a huge problem with your "pivot" for changing things is plumbing up and down, up and down, up and down the hierarchy. Instead of being able to flip the whole thing on its head and seeing all the settings/flags/options for whole classes & categories of similar things and changing them from that perspective.

It's like there's a transition point where you know enough about how things are all put together that being forced to interact with multiple things at once only through the top of their individual silos starts to fall apart pretty dramatically.

The reason I ask about Simulink, is that it's very common in the toolchain of our customers (I'm CEO of https://www.auxon.io) and we're building an integration to it for our product. For the most part it seems to do a much better job of being an IDE for more complicated models/programs compared to the bevy of RAD tools I've used in the past. I have certainly encountered limitations reminiscent of those old RAD ways, but I can also see how much better a job it seems to do before you hit those snags.
