(disclaimer: I've never ran I company myself, but have been part of numerous teams and experienced some growth pain; so the following is my [sort of] one-sided view of the picture)

That's a pet peeve of mine. Adding more people feels more like a company "ego" inflation injected by VCs so they "look good" and valuation goes up. External pressure. It can make good ideas and teams de-rail fast… processes will be introduced, knowledge silos will emerge (because how else would you justify your job in 6 months?), great people will leave because what they don't feel connected anymore. And you rarely observe this in bootstrapped companies.

There's this false pretense that adding more people will yield more "product". And that we need 1 person for infra, 1 person for backend, 1 person for web front-end, 1 person for iOS mobile, 1 person for android mobile, 1 person for… Outsiders only see these "labels" and head counts.

Growth != more people.

https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2018/multi-dimensional-transact... discusses some deeper ways that Guix and NixOS differ, beyond the syntax. See the "On coupling" section.

I have briefly tried Guix, and like it, but NixOS works well enough for me that I don't see a strong reason to look more into Guix.
Yeah I suppose that's the crux of it. I really like that first popup that LibreOffice has when you open it up where you can specify encoding, delimiters, etc.

LibreOffice does a similar amount of clobbering, but in general it notifies you of any would-be clobbering and allows you to abort beforehand, which is really nice. I still avoid exporting via LibreOffice though for very sensitive situations, but it is noticeably better still.

> I think you're really fundamentally misunderstanding treatment modalities that allow people to be better, because you're conflating having an injury with weakness.

I don't think the white woman with an emotional support dog who got the black man kicked off the flight had any ptsd.

> Ex-soldiers with PTSD are one of the best studied.

Do they need animals to serve as their crutch to go everywhere? Don't think so. I have plenty of ex-soldiers in my family. None of them ever had an emotional support animal.

> So either you doubt the realism of PTSD

No. I think people can have traumatic experiences. Pretty much everyone deals with it and moves on with thier lives like they have throughout history. The "business" around PTSD is what I have an issue with.

> That begs the question, what is a treatment that doesn't foster weakness?

Might want to look up what "begs the question" really means.

Right. Good one.

I get perpetually annoyed by Robin Hanson’s inability to properly grasp this concept. Peter Turchin’s books are clear about the concept and provide objective ways to quantify elite production, yet Hanson perpetually ignores them.
I started my startup when I was 36. Had a four year old and a one year old. To your question - yes it’s possible but how you accomplish it will depend a lot on your situation. For me, I was fortunate enough to have a supporting spouse that had a great job. Our living costs were low enough that she could support our family (albeit with very few luxuries). She did this for a few years while we bootstrapped, and eventually we were successful enough that she ended joining the startup full-time. Five years and 13 employees later we’ve been acquired and are looking forward to the next leg of our professional journey together. This is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done but also the most rewarding. Good luck to you!

Biden is charging $2k a person to get them out of Afghanistan.

There is a low estimate of over 10,000 Americans stuck there right now and higher estimate of up to 40,000.

The entire Biden regime needs to step the fuck down immediately.

Biden and his cronies don't give one fuck about America.

We get US citizens out first.
Then we get refugees out.

Then we destroy the aircraft, armored vehicles and billions of other dollars they gave to the Taliban.

Then we just nuke the everliving shit out of it. Turn it to glass.

Anyone who voted for Biden - you are a horrible human being.

It's not easy but it's definitely possible, especially if you can stack the deck in your favor -- line up childcare and appropriately configure your company's work culture.

I juggled a day job and side-startup while my child was a toddler. My wife and parents picked the slack on the nights where I had to push towards a hard deadline and I leaned heavily on my team so that I could be present for family time. The company was profitable and we successfully sold it to a private party.

For my current startup, I was very up front with my co-founder about making sure I was around to do school drop-offs and pick-ups. We're fully remote so there's no commute and we predominantly work asynchronously to avoid meetings. I mostly work during school hours and pick up again in the evening after the bedtime routine.

It's not for everybody and doesn't leave a lot of "me" time, but I'm personally finding a lot of fulfillment in trying to build a family-friendly remote-first company.
Spot on. It’s also worth noting that Trump’s use of Twitter did, demonstrably, contribute to some unheard of, unthinkably extreme public dangers too. So they were in the impossible position of either respecting the office, or preventing further public harm. On that particular call - and only that call - I think they made the right move.
I did a startup with a toddler and a newborn when we got funded. Both the company and my marriage still exist, so I guess that's evidence that it is possible.

But personally, I would not recommend it. Find a job you can spend lots of time at home or otherwise spending quality time with your new family. They're only young once, and this is not time you can get back later.

I’ve found generator functions work great for parsers. You yield the tokens you expect to be next. The token could be a string, a regular expression to be matched, or another generator function.

The library is open source here, contributions welcome: https://github.com/RoyalIcing/yieldparser

Generator functions have great support in modern browsers (not IE) and Node.js.

For example here’s a simple v4 IP address parser:

import { parse, mustEnd } from 'yieldparser';

function* Digit() {
const [digit]: [string] = yield /^\d+/;
const value = parseInt(digit, 10);
if (value < 0 || value > 255) {
return new Error(`Digit must be between 0 and 255, was ${value}`);
}
return value;
}

function* IPAddress() {
const first = yield Digit;
yield '.';
const second = yield Digit;
yield '.';
const third = yield Digit;
yield '.';
const fourth = yield Digit;
yield mustEnd;
return [first, second, third, fourth];
}

parse('1.2.3.4', IPAddress());

I've wondered about the utility of velocity now that the money supply can be increased at will. In the past when there was a limit I can understand why it was useful but now there are many dollars sitting in bank accounts that are not being used so I can see why it's declining and it seems that that won't change given the feds constant expansion of the money supply. There's also the fact that the dollar has become a worlds currency whose velocity is hard to measure. We need an alternative way to measure the dollars utility to the economy.

Yeah, this is a point of significant confusion. I'll try to clear it up:

* LLVM defines an abstract container format, called the bitstream. The bitstream has "bit" in it because it's bit-aligned instead of byte-aligned.

* LLVM IR has two on-disk representations: a textual representation and a binary one. The binary one is stored within the bitstream container and it's code, hence bitcode. The bitcode representation is much more space efficient than the text one, so it's the one that's (almost) always passed around. As a result, people tend to refer to specific bits of LLVM IR that have been serialized to disk as "bitcode."

* LLVM hasn't stood for "Low Level Virtual Machine" for a very long time; probably over a decade. They (presumably) changed the name for the same reason you've pointed out: it's a little bit misleading. That being said, you can interpret LLVM IR as if it were just a compacted interpreted program: `lli`[1] is an official tool that does exactly that.

TL;DR: bitcode is a representation of LLVM's IR. The "bit" in it is a reference to the underlying structure, which is relatively unusual among program container formats (almost all are byte-oriented, as you've observed).

Your username betrays an Eastern European origin. Your entire comment is a self-serving argument about "kids these days". No one cares that you teach university physics. You are not the candidate elite. You are a hired slave, an educated slave, but a slave nonetheless, toiling away for your slave wages. Hence, as a slave you are not privy to the problem of "elite" overproduction. In your home country you may have considered an educator role to be a a role allocated to local elites. However in your current place of employment you are just hired help. Until you recognize your place in the society you chose you will have no opportunity to move beyond where you are.

The question of liability for the site given reasonable verification measures is still an open question. For example, Tracy Lords was a popular porn star of the 80s until she outed herself as having been underage in her films. The FBI investigated the porn industry and no one was found liable as she used a fake ID and the producers had it on file. The idea that there is endless liability for producers when someone circumvents their verification just isn't true.
I don't think you can just give money to someone and call it charity. Otherwise you could just give money to your children, skip inheritance tax, and get a yummy write-off. Karp probably had to pay a hefty gift tax on top of the 180K, which for him would be a rounding error.

Yes, it requires effort - as anything that is maintenance not speaking of development of new stuff/ new insights into existing knowledge etc.

At OrgPad, we find, having a nice visual and flexible way to work with information in a graph that you yourself create the way you like it but that helps you arrange stuff so that nothing overlaps etc. is very approachable and helps with remembering stuff. It is kind of like the pin boards in the criminal TV shows. :-) You can apply this approach to most stuff as seeing everything at once with the right amount of detail can not only help you find criminals but also just get your work done and perhaps even make personal bureaucracy less tedious. It is also nice for vacation photos, which I certainly wouldn't do in Roam and others.

The article doesn't seem great, but I might as well dump my favourite quotation about elite overproduction, from /Nationalism/ by Elie Kedourie http://www.amazon.com/Nationalism-Elie-Kedourie/dp/063118885... http://www.worldcat.org/title/nationalism/oclc/27812918 , about conditions in Germany around 1800:

"The writers who invented and elaborated the post-Kantian theory of the state belonged to a caste which was relatively low on the social scale. They were, most of them, the sons of pastors, artisans, or small farmers. They somehow managed to become university students, most often in the faculty of theology, and last out the duration of their course on minute grants, private lessons, and similar makeshifts. When they graduated they found that their knowledge opened no doors, that they were still in the same social class, looked down upon by a nobility which was stupid, unlettered, and which engrossed the public employments they felt themselves so capable of filling. These students and ex-students felt in them the power to do great things, they had culture, knowledge, ability, they yearned for the life of action, its excitements and rewards, and yet there they were, doomed to spend heartbreaking years as indigent curates waiting to be appointed pastors, or as tutors in some noble household, where they were little better than superior domestics, or as famished writers dependent on the goodwill of an editor or a publisher."
Consent is a real issue. The problem is advocates apply pressure to eliminate sex work even under clear consent, because safety isn't their actual goal. See OnlyFans, Craigslist for example.

> Safety and convenience are both the top priorities of an autonomous vehicle’s design. By drastically reducing or eliminating human error on the road, the chances of accidents and crashes are significantly reduced.

The safety argument for autonomous vehicles is a crock.

Safety is at bottom about stopping without harming people. There exist lots of ADASes ("advanced driver assistance systems") that can be and are being fitted to cars that are not self driving that do this job of stopping without harm, and keeping vehicles stable so there isn't an "uncontrolled sudden stop" event.

> Fatigue and getting distracted are some things machines and algorithms won’t have to deal with.

With less-than-total ability to control vehicles in all situations, making it easier for fatigued or otherwise hampered people to be nominally in control of a vehicle also decreases overall safety.

Self driving that likes to hand control back to a human[1] when events get difficult, is less safe than a vehicle that requires the human-in-nominal-control be engaged all the time, even if she isn't fatigued or distracted.

This was discovered with passenger planes when "autoland" systems were brought in in the 1990s. They were fairly quickly pulled out and replaced with head-up displays of key information to the pilots.[2]

Honest advocates of self driving would admit that they want it for its convenience.

I disagree. OnlyFans is well-known in streamer/gamer/internet/Tumblr/Twitter culture. Ask anyone on the street and most people won't know about the porn connection. They probably won't even know what OF is.

> 3. ??? But only-fans literally became a billion-dollar unicorn on the back of porn. Like, I'm speechless, really, I am.

They haven't, though. They "only" made ~400 million last year and can't find investors (did you even read through the Axios report?). Porn is bad for business. I'm surprised people are surprised. Patreon literally did this exact same thing[1] (ditched explicit content after initially allowing it).

My first thought too. fantasy is not science-fiction, and science-fiction is (pretty much) not fantasy.

Admittedly, there are some authors like Ray Bradbury who have a foot in both camps, but my preference is (generally) for science-fiction over fantasy.

Probably my favourite book is Arthur Clark's 'Rendezvous with Rama', though I felt the later 'Rama' books weren't anywhere near as good as the first in the series.

My wife is a startup co-founder and she started up when our daughter was three. They were bootstrapped initially and now have raised a couple of rounds in 5 years. Our daughter has grown up into a little person with a very kind character and promising developing talents. So I'd say very doable amd some enablers are:
1. One partner should have a steady sufficient income to keep head above water with sufficient buffer for unexpected expenses. I've had friends who tried it single income and they had to pack it in
2. You need to keep a schedule where you'll be there for some sufficient time in the day for the child or the child will start missing the parent and act out. In my wife's case, she usually takes three quarters of an hour break when our daughter comes home from school and also puts her to sleep at night during school days. During weekends, she usually spends Saturday morning exclusively with our daughter. During vacation weekdays, she spends a couple of morning hours (time zone benefits)

So I'd say go for it! Best of Luck!
