Windows 11 doesn't currently use WinUI 3 at all, it's all still WinUI 2.x/UWP XAML based, including the new stuff.

Actually I don't think WinUI 3 currently has any immediate advantages over WinUI 2.x from the app developer's point of view, except that there's a nice Visual Studio template for creating standalone Win32 apps using it, but I believe you can achieve more or less the same thing with a little more upfront work by just making an app that does its entire UI in one big XAML Island, and in fact that's how Windows Terminal works. The long-term advantages are supposed to come from WinUI 3's XAML and composition stack being decoupled from the Windows OS build.

I had a friend who worked at the Baltimore Aquarium. The workers there had college degrees in stuff like biology and were only paid about $30k per year. Yet they had about a dozen executives making salaries that were 10x higher. Your link with salaries made me think about that.

What is the “non-progressive” solution to homelessness? As far as I can tell, it’s “I don’t care where you stay, but it can’t be here,” which is obviously not an actual solution in a global sense.
Neat. I’ve been looking for something like this for gamedev — being able to model pseudo-realistic simulation of planetary evolution (for my interest, just starting at plate tectonics and going up until wind patterns) to provide a “basis” for further simulation.

It’s surprisingly hard to google though; almost all content is simple perlin noise generation that looks kind of correct but ultimately produces total nonsense (so any further derived rules have to also be total nonsense) — generally constrained with further nonsense rules to produce higher level concepts like “animals” and “biomes” that can’t be touched meaningfully.

Other material I can find is far too involved, and far too slow — targeting actual simulation of the earth. The few that do it with the goal of “just realistic enough” still end up being 10+ minutes generation time for small worlds. Modeling erosion processes being the main culprit, afaict.

Definitely stealing this one, for all my nefarious deeds.

Or they just have a slow-discharge technology and are trying to create the illusion it's good for something.

> at less than 1/10th the cost of lithium-ion

That's just a PR statement at this point. They haven't built many batteries.

If the materials cost for a lithium-ion battery went down 90%, battery cost would only go down 50%.[1]

The number of "it's going to be really cheap" battery claims far exceeds the number of really cheap and usable batteries that actually ship.

On the contrary, in a lot of places most consumers complain about misleading claims about speed and capping.

FWIW, here are some musicians playing the harp?

https://www.clubhouse.com/room/xq7bKDed

Listening to people babble incessantly about shit they don't understand might suck, but being able to follow your favorite independent musicians (or poets or whatever) around the various open mic nights or invited performances they do to listen to them playing live music in different audience contexts might be more fun. I happened to follow a musician on Clubouse whom I was(/am) sponsoring on Patreon, and it was fun getting notifications "Kris Angelis is now playing" every now and then (and before anyone tries to assert as such, no: you can't replace this experience with following her YouTube account, which I also do, for the same reasons people play open mic nights in real life rather than either always doing concerts or simply selling CDs; the Clubhouse mechanism surrounds following individual people, not shows, through shared experiences that generally would be inappropriate to attach to your own feed... YouTube could try to add this--"someone you follow was tagged in this uploaded video" and "someone you follow is right now appearing in this live video"--but the mechanism is non-obvious since they don't do the muxing and is anyway very different from their current experience).

I used to think that as well, but sales doesnt scale like engineering, and their priorities provide a good counterbalance to engineering and even product priorities.

The thing that I thought was broken about it is the bread first strategy. I would think it would be better to focus on a segment of the market until they start getting momentum. Many products we see that are targeted at smaller companies are going to be wholly unacceptable to large enterprises.

It would be a tiny scrapbook app with the following features:

A little interface for creating little "posts" of pictures and text.

A list of friends to sync new post id's with.

A little interface to browse new posts of friends, add likes and comments.

Additional equally trivial features for creating shared scrapbooks for for events, clubs, topics, businesses, etc.

Each person's list of friend/group ids and posts would be held in the cloud with end-to-end encryption. The encryption would mean complete privacy for individuals, with only permissioned sharing to others.

Given the needs of a series of small posts, this is a trivial amount of data.

The app could be free with a small hosting fee of $1/month or something.

There would be no ads. No surveillance. No massive corporation doing groundbreaking work in AI in order to surveil and serve ads, promote engagement, manipulate users, then making a show of screwing up half hearted attempts to censor bad stuff that it had actively promoted due to its engagement properties.

The app's authors and cloud providers would simply have the incentive to make sharing scrap book posts fun for its users.

Let's call it "The Scrapbook". Wait ... drop the "the". It's just "Scrapbook". It's clean.

I agree about the EtoE encryption weaknesses. However since I can send email from my own email server to another email server without it touching a 3rd party (not including the ISPs and DNS servers) means EtoE is not such a massive issue.

I can't make phone calls or video calls over email, but for text, small files and images it's perfect (given how long email has been around it goes to show how good it is).

This doesn't include less sever mental illness which almost certainly contributes.

We are in Seattle and are already breaking even.

We used Blossom Solar which was affordable and did a great job.

We got a loan at a very low interest rate and the payment is about the same as our power bill was. It helps that Seattle has net metering, so we didn’t need to build a battery wall and can offset our winter energy use by generating it in summer.

Our electric rates go up faster than inflation, and so in a year or two our costs will be lower than they would have been without solar, and will remain so for at least a few decades.
LTE and 5G use something like pre-shared keys for both user and operator so no to the second option in most cases except emergency use (you can make emergency calls via any network).
Unfortunately not - eSim is a fairly closed-shop ecosystem. You can't easily type in the provisioning parameters into a QR code generator and get an eSim to use.

You need to work with a GSMA-approved eSim issuer who has a special CA-signed certificate to authorise a handshake via some cellular standard protocols to do the eSim setup process. This process does prevent keying material being exchanged in plaintext, but also "locks in" the need for an intermediary in the process unfortunately.

So while you could make eSims, you'd need to work with a GSMA-approved issuer.
Here's the good news: when it's just you, you don't need HR, because there are no interactions between employees, no hiring and no firing. Before you have any income, you barely need a CFO function, and so on and so forth.

Really, you only have about five roles:

- make the service
- run the service
- market the service
- accept money for the service
- support the service

So, most people reading this aren't looking for the marketing section. But I wanted to point something out I see all the time. Take a look at the roles under CMO at a 125 person company:

--

CMO (15)

Director, Product Marketing, plus 3 PMMs (4)

Director, Demand Gen, plus 3 marketers (4)

Director, Sales Enablement, plus 2 marketers (3)

Director, Brand Marketing (3)

PR & Analyst Relations (1-2)

Events/Community (1)

--

What I posit is that Product Marketing is useless as a position and should be eliminated most of the time.

The role ends up being:
- Jane Doe is the Product Marketer for product X. She's responsible for growing it as much as possible.
- She works with Anne X. in demand gen to make ads to promote the product to new customers.
- She works with Hillary Y. in email marketing to cross promote to existing customers
- She works with tech to do landing page/funnel testing.

However what I find is that the role just adds friction and useless tests to show value. Let the subject matter experts (in demand gen, email, website testing) create the plan for each product holistically. Product Marketers are dead weight 80% of the time.

I would only say this anonymously but its true. Source: I'm a marketing consultant that has worked with dozens of fast growing SaaS companies.

Depends on how you define "preference". Any number of people would "prefer" any number of things in a vacuum that fall apart when put up against the real world. That's not a particularly useful definition of "preference". I'd argue what people truly "prefer" is revealed by what they are willing to take action on.

Even multi-party systems suffer from this. You will never have enough parties to satisfy everyone on every issue. It's also worsened by the multiple years between elections, the feedback cycles are very slow, and too much is muddled together when there's an election.

I would have said the solution is referendums, where the population can regularly vote on some specific issue. But as far as I understand California's "proposition" fit this, and they don't really seem to work.

That alone doesn't mean much, the ranking prefers new entries. And if something makes it to anywhere on the front page early, more votes come in and push it up.
No, you won't. Most of these jobs are consequences of scale, and exist to support it.

For example, you don't need any of the management jobs until you've hired enough people that you have to manage them. You don't need to do sales and customer management jobs when you have no sales and no customers. Etc.

Of the job titles that remain, these are all specializations. The projection of the work that you'll be doing onto any of the roles will be so small, that there's no point in even identifying it. E.g. you're not really doing "Dev Ops/Infra" if your project is running on a single server in whichever cloud you had the most free credits for.

For a indie one-person SaaS, this list is useful only as an identification of broad areas of concern. I wouldn't even try to read anything from relative number of any type of positions - jobs don't scale at the same rate. E.g. sales workload may grow faster than dev workload in B2C, the opposite in B2B.
Nobody invests in convertible notes for the interest. YC's SAFE is basically a note sans interest. Investors looking for high interest rates on notes should be a red flag to startups as well.
Main reasons for not benching against pdqsort:

1. stability
2. worse performance on long doubles, and I don't know why
3. A variety of hard to explain performance differences.
4. pdqsort does better on generic data, which can be very important.

So it's tricky to present a fair benchmark when two sorts behave very differently.

As to performance advantages of fluxsort:

1. It has a faster insertion sort.
2. Branchless pseudomedian of 15 gives an advantage.
3. Partial loop unrolling with: while (ptx + 8 < pte)
4. Data movement should be nearly identical, if not better, with the recursive calls through the ptx pointer. In the optimal case the memcpy only triggers when the partition shrinks below 24 elements, and in half of those cases the partition will already be in main memory.

So on random you could expect n / 2 extra data movements on top of ~ n log n moves.

Being in Victoria certainly helps with his lifestyle too. It's probably the best city in BC you could hope to be in if you're homeless. It's a nice city, there's lots of green space, lots of facilities around for the homeless, a relatively small actual homeless population then the tourist homeless population of young people camping for fun.

I really doubt he'd be able to maintain that lifestyle anywhere else. Definitely wouldn.t be able to live like that in Vancouver.
Because land is finite. Land within an established city even more so. Not only is there rent to collect should they want to, but it’s almost a guarantee that there will be rent to collect indefinitely into the future.
