> NodeJS compatibility, what is our high-level strategy, goals, next steps?

I really wish they go for a better compatibility with Node and sell themselves as a replacement that is strictly better.
Can relate so much to this. Noone will come once you have finished coding your product, you need a marketing strategy that is proven to work before you start coding a single line.
Why Study War?
Thanks Dustin for the awesome writeup! Event-based also seems easier to animate in a 3D engine (pseudocode is simply "move that entity x units in y seconds") compared to constantly updating positions based on the simulation which is more akin to relatively complicated multiplayer gaming challenges to keep multiple entities in sync.
Exactly, "if you build it, they'll come" is the worst advice for startups.

Of course, if you don't build it, nobody will come.

But the real difficult part, and there's plenty of startup literature on the subject, is DISTRIBUTION. That's where the marketing & sales skills comes into play.
Exactly, it's not always easy to replace a transitive dependency and we're dismissing the platform anyway
It's very rare that I see a project on HN I can see myself using. This is one. Like others have said, the results can be a little rough. But they're rough in a way I think is much more manageable than the idiosynchrosies of more 'clever' search engines.

Is there a self hosted app to track your location? I use Google maps to keep granular history so I can use it later for whatever. But if I could self host that’d be better.
If I remember well, the main offenders were German OEMs that colluded with VW on that. other European OEMs mainly toyed around with other stuff and edge cases, some activities were later found to be illegal. Most so were able to fix it by "just" burning more Adblue and getting rid of temp windows and such things.

VW was the only one I know that was forced to tweak engine performance. IMHO the goal was optimize weight and cost, and engine design. Only VW seemed to have gone far enough to design engines that were technically barely, if at all, able to comply with emission requirements. So they resorted to cheating. Once that worked, it escalated to the point 11 million cars were affected. Kind a stupid if you ask me.
I'm not convinced that Kape is a worse owner, the evidence was weak. In addition, they sell privacy. If they stop respecting privacy they go under. If they start storing data they legally have to hand it over when being asked by law enforcement, which would expose that they stored it.
That doesn't mean that "volume/variety" isn't also a driver for different rules.
I'm searching for information on "dog".

Your suggestion of "dog facts" returns 6 pages from the same domain, dogquotes.com. It's unreadable on mobile because it's so old, all the facts are unsourced, and often wrong:

Also on the 1st SERP, this odd blog post ranting about 4th amendment rights [1], "Media Glamorization of the Psychopath" [2], and this (image-heavy) page about dolphin encounters in the Bahamas ("Sea Dog Facts" is a link on the page).

I don't have a good playlist or show to link off-hand, but here's a wonderful video about someone finding terrible things in their old house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v33Gb2xPhU

In general you want "fixing old houses" videos that focus more on the tear down and guts and less on the "look how pretty my house looks at the end" before & afters.
> I sincerely doubt the average first world person has what it takes to sacrifice their comfortable life and go live in caves to resist a tyrannical occupation.

Why are you talking about the "average first world person"? IIRC, Afghanistan is a country of ~30 million people, and the most recent estimates I saw said the Taliban only had ~75 thousand fighters. That's 0.25%. So not even the average Afghan did that.

Also, guerilla warfare isn't so much about living in caves as melting into the population.
They're mostly just standing around gesturing at each other though. Can we make them 'interact' more?
In a world where people nitpick each other to death, sure. Meanwhile, in the real world, language has meaning beyond the literal expression.

And I'm willing to put money on the fact that their target audience understands perfectly what "no algorithm" means. Heck, even the people complaining know what it means, they just like being right.
An interesting series of articles that came up on HN a couple months ago makes the argument that both infertility and obesity arise from environmental contaminates (although not necessarily phthalates). Regardless of whether you agree with the arguments presented, I think it’s really interesting to see just how complex of a problem it is to figure out what’s going on.

NM... presume it's due to the news re: ExpressVPN --> Kape
It shows a limited subset of the EXIF (camera, ISO, focal length, aperture, shutter speed) - although I notice that not all images have the data, so I don't know whether it's stripped by the person uploading it or somewhere in some version of their pipeline.

My images (exported from Lightroom, moved to phone via AirDrop, uploaded via the Glass app) all have the metadata intact.
From the wired article:

“Moving forward,” they wrote, the Justice Department should “take a hard look at bringing this case as a civil forfeiture case,” with its “lower standard of proof.” In this scenario, the government would seize a website operator’s assets and property, then force them to prove they weren’t implicated in criminal activity.

> Should start with terminal (bash/zsh)

I'm going to have to strongly disagree with teaching bash/zsh (or any other shell) as a first language. The are just too many gotchas and implicit variables and conversions going on that make it really hard to understand what's going on.

Shells are fine for stringing commands together. They are hell for doing any sort of development in.
I know you have a lot of freshly written code that will crash multi times a week for the first few years its used in the wild.

If you are wondering why no one wants to pay for it, that is why.
Absolutely, being a lonely person that’s also a good listener is just the worst. You expect people to show at least some percentage of the interest that you have in their life (by listening to them). But my experience has been that the vast majority of people don’t listen at all. Note that listening != hearing.
Leetcode and equivalent seems to come out of an intersection of a technical interviewer's "I don't want to take the time to interview you" and HR's "I don't know how to interview you."

Everyone knows that something very serious must be done at an interview. Nobody cares about it enough to actually put in the time or trust for a bespoke solution.

Consequently, you end up with everyone sub'ing algorithms in for due diligence, then because they made that choice, defending the choice and pretending like it's meaningful.

Hiring is hard. Hiring technical, non-standardized talent is even harder.
Every time I take a photo with my phone I'm disappointed with the result. I'd almost prefer a camera-less phone so I'd be forced to take a proper camera with me.

When you raise money from donors to win election to an office, those donors effectively become your constituency, rather than the people living in your state or district. Those donors will also offer you strangely sumptuous speaking fees or a lucrative lobbying position after you leave office.

If politicians' incentives can be aligned with their constitutional constituencies (not donors), they can make decisions that are actually in the best interest of those they represent, rather than the highest bidder.

Are you saying it is simply having some power over the budget that corrupts politicians, and not what they have to do in order to obtain that power that corrupts them?

> Dissent from the popular opinion is good and healthy, going both ways

"You gotta hear both sides" is extremely harmful when it is used to equate massively unequal opinions.

Of course dissenting opinions should be heard and assessed but it is also obviously absurd to treat some opinion such as "I think that we should vacuum the floors to prepare for guests" with the same weight and validity as "I think we should murder our guests when they arrive that way we wont have to worry about vacuuming"

Thank you for that explanation! I apologize; I totally agree that you don't need to walk the superblocks. I don't know why I wrote that instead of what I was really thinking:

- The vector represents a subset of N values, hence requires Z=N bits.

- The blocks themselves require at least Z bits to store, so to be succinct the superblocks must be o(Z) in space.

- Consequently, there are at most o(Z) superblocks.

- It follows that there are at most o(Z) blocks (since otherwise you would have a super-constant number to walk per block).

- Thus, each block takes up super-constant space (and the popcount component must increase in size as well).

- Your rank lookups require at least O(popcount-size) time, which is super-constant.

I think you're right though that the problem I was seeing just falls back to the general "we know it's bugged, but we promise we won't bugabuse" idea -- no function returning distinct values for N different inputs on a fixed-width register machine can execute in less than log(N) time, and I probably should have just stopped there and called it a day.

Low Carb
Yeah fair question, it wasn't so much of a bite as the way my hand was angled it snagged on one of her canine teeth, and when I felt pain and pulled away, it drove her tooth even more deeply into the palm of my hand, causing a nice and deep tear/puncture wound in the process. That's why I said it wasn't the dogs fault, there wasn't really any pressure applied by her, and it wasn't like a classic "dog bite" injury with a bite-shaped pattern of bruising or anything. I was on my laptop and playing with her with my free hand, not really watching but still getting her really excited to grab the toy. So, my bad. Lesson learned.

I actually called and asked my family doc what to do and he recommended I come in strictly because it was somewhat deep and on my hand (apparently more prone to infection + bad outcomes). He even prescribed precautionary antibiotics due to the depth. I was lucky in that it didn't touch any tendons or anything, and healed without stitches with only a pinpoint scar.
The problem with Posteo is that they don't let you bring your own domain, which in effect allows them to hold your email address hostage. This is a non-starter for a pro-user email hosting service.

There are standalone GPS loggers that lack transmitters and log location to SD cards in CSV / GPX formats (e.g., [0]). It's one more thing to carry, but it's small and you can be reasonably confident that it won't transmit your location to anyone. But the particular one I've posted doesn't have the ability to encrypt the data as its being saved, so if someone physically steals the device, they'll have easy access to your past location history.

Is there any basis in reality for that number(50 weeks) or is it more of a 'dynamic' number that changes as supply might happen to increase/decrease?

That's interesting. I guess it depends on perspective - yes you could be a "rockstar" dev who talks at conferences and makes gajillions writing scalable MVP's for SV-funded startups. In which case, yes, your value is directly linked to your ability to market yourself.

But most aren't. Most devs clock in, write some code, clock out, go home, do something completely different. It's a job. They operate inside the salary bands of their organisation, and they do okay, doing normal work.
I take exactly the same stance. I find that, while I'm not contacted for followups from places like LinkedIn and cold-contact recruiter emails, the approach does resonate with smaller companies that look to places like AngelList and Moonlight for their recruiting efforts.

Tech recruiting has become a massive numbers, volume grift.
Anyone aware of any options for Hyper-V? Last time I tried this it was pretty impractical to have VMWare/VirtualBox co-exist with Hyper-V for things like Docker and WSL2, but maybe that has changed?
Does it not start to become cheaper to rent some storage and buy the items when they are low, like timber now and then the other core bits, biding your time. Though storage costs a factor and equally equity to buy the materials over time at the right prices. But then those materials are assets and if you buy cheap, even if you don't go ahead - resell will break you even at least.

Much the same way air-con units and fans cost more in the summer compared to winter - prices do seasonally fluctuate and those can have a knock on effect. So cheap timber will drive up the other items with demand, so you can almost foresee once timber goes up, the ancillary items will come down due to demand again. That and winter, will curtail some demand and that may well be the time for buying some items.
You make me want to come up with a working algorithm that actually hints at the Kafkaesque futility of algorithm interview questions.

I'm not the parent, but as a frequent reader of Genius, the annotations often discuss the connection between the lyrics and the artist's personal life --- sometimes with wild speculation. It is standard in contemporary music for artists to build their careers writing songs about their personal experiences, no matter the genre. Pop, hip-hop, country, folk, and punk are all filled with artists who are loved by their fans for successfully performing "authenticity" in their songs. Fans of those kinds of artists love to try and decode the lyrics. People go to Genius and read the annotations for a Taylor Swift song because they want to know which breakup that song is about. It gets into even more of a difficult situation when it comes to artists who sing/rap about their legally-questionable activities.

Now, if you hold the belief that words on the internet can never hurt, you won't buy that argument. But every user-generated content platform needs to have a plan for moderation of that content. Rumors and misinformation can spread everywhere.

That was in 1967, do you think nothing has changed since then? IIRC, I don't even think the NRA was even much of a gun rights organization until later.

They were fighting it then, I've read many membership magazine issues from the 1960s, but lost so comprehensively starting in the next year with the Gun Control Act of 1968 and through the high point of gun control in the 1970s that the leadership decided to surrender this issue and retreat to hunting and target shooting and move their headquarters from D.C. to Colorado.

In the 1977 annual meeting in Cincinnati this leadership was ousted and people with a focus that included even having the right to hunt and target shoot with guns replaced them. Fast forward another ten years and the nationwide sweep of "shall issue" and better concealed carry regimes started in Florida with help from the NRA. Now 42 states and ~75% of the population, for all but Illinois done legislatively.
That does practically nothing for your privacy, because you're still connected to the base station tower which keeps logs of your phone roaming between base stations. And in more populated areas, the base stations are dense enough to be pretty accurate about where you were.
Requests for cell tower log dumps are very common these days.

The solution here is for governments to ban this kind of bulk data requests without warrant and not for you to fight a losing battle against your own police force.
> Why isn't the stock market reacting at all?

I always respond to this the same way. What reaction _should_ the market have? And is that reaction 100% (or even say... 75%) predictable based upon the available information today? And then if it is, what consequence would that have on your ability to invest immediately afterward?

So, my answers are... the market should largely ignore short term (<5 year) factors and the response should largely be unpredictable based upon the behavior of the masses. Most investments should have time horizons that make these movements irrelevant to 10+ year profit estimates.

But I feel like a lot of people want responses that are more like this: The market should drop precipitously based upon the information that short term profits (and thus P/E ratios) will fall. Based upon this, I should be able to immediately invest all available cash and reap a windfall when mean reversion occurs within 1-3 years.

I think one of these is a more realistic scenario than the other, regardless of which world we'd like to live in.
