> Or is it just a fool's errand?

I'd say yes.

Consider the possible outcomes:

1. your product doesn't sell very well, but doesn't fail entirely. you bought yourself a job, basically, you work longer hours for the same or a little less money than you made when you were employed.

2. your product doesn't sell well enough to stay on the shelves, you've probably sunk some of your own money into a failed venture and if you have debt you're probably looking at bankruptcy.

3. your product sells well, Amazon or Walmart steal it from you.

I'd say the only way to win this game is not play. Build a product for a nice market outside of their clientele's price target that sells at a premium Amazon and Walmart shoppers are unwilling to pay.
I would expect the switch implementation to not emit any branches. Example:

So it is surprising that OP saw branch mispredictions. What compiler and flags were used?
Ah good explanation. You’re right.
HN is getting it wrong because everyone else is. The real story is that pilots unions are never allowed to strike and sick outs are illegal. If the company or union admitted to doing so they would be in breach of the Railway Labor Act.

Have their been any efforts just to work on specifications for a new common standard library, prior to a new language? Perhaps one which other languages could ffi into?

IIRC library designers in Rust have at least demonstrated some effort to review other naming conventions, and make informed common/improving choices.

No, that assumes perfect market information. Middlemen can provide benefit by allowing people to offload research and reputation tracking to a third party that they trust, allowing them to invest time and effort in that one entity instead of a bunch of smaller ones.

For example, do you buy off Amazon or NewEgg, Best Buy, etc or do you just use Craigslist, Ebay, the local paper, or even the local flea/market swap meet for electronics? You can probably find stuff for half as much or even less at some of those locations, but it might cost you a lot in research time or lost money in the end...

First, the GDP growth estimates of the Soviet Union were consistently overestimated by both Soviet sources (for obvious reasons) and by Western sources (to justify more military spending). After the 60s when all of the low-hanging industrialization fruit had been picked, stagnation set in and mediocrity reigned. They never managed to transition to a high value-add economy. Example: their microchip industry never even came close to matching the West or Japan. By the end stages, the Soviet industrial base was kept alive by subsidies, a ward of the state. It was so inefficient and mismanaged that the finished products were worth less on the world market than the raw materials used to make them, i.e. the Soviet economy literally destroyed value rather than creating it. They could only keep the lights on because they got lucky and found gas and oil.

Second, even supposing we take the fraudulently high GDP figures at face value: it wasn't worth the cost. The economy was made for man, not man for the economy. To achieve these years of "high GDP growth", they built a system of state terror and industrialized slave labor. Yes, slave labor, there is no better term for it. Millions of people were kidnapped (under the farcical pretense of lawful arrest) and sent to work in slave labor camps in remote corners of Siberia. Their unpaid work in mines, logging camps, farms, and factories undergirded the entire Stalinist economy. A significant fraction of these unfortunates simply died of overwork or starvation or disease, if they weren't deliberately shot. Millions of Ukrainian peasants starved as their grain was confiscated. Millions of Chechens and Kazakhs and Jews and Koreans and sundry other ethnic groups were scooped out of their homelands and scattered to the other end of the continent if they were lucky, or into mass graves if they were unlucky.

It was a completely rotten system, indefensible in every way except for the consolation prize that it managed to defeat another totalitarian system that was slightly more evil (but only after allying with it and launching a joint war of aggression against the helpless country between them).

But I'm sure we'll hear more from the Durantys of the world about how it never happened and it was a long time ago and it wasn't real socialism and they all deserved it anyway.
We're not saving lives, but we know what we make often makes someone's day better, entertainment is important in a pandemic. Past that, the people in the industry are fantastic humans you get to know as family, and there is usually a team spirit of "lets over come this adversity". The pay used to be acceptable for the work required, but that has shifted significantly.

The work is far different than anything in the real world and can be rewarding, even just to witness - I've helped burn buildings down, flood a bedroom, built canoes, treehouses and a guillotine, rig cameras on cars, and built scenery from 1600s onward, to name a few. Many see their contributions directly affect, and often visually, the end product, it can be pretty neat!

If there's an issue with the server, you cannot reach out to Hetzner directly. You need to contact the individual behind MoonHome who might be asleep or sick.
These types of programs have gone through a few iterations since the secure enclave was released, but they all share a fatal flaw, probably from the SE itself:

You can only store keys that use the NIST P curves, which are not recommended for SSH, or any serious crypto. There are serious supicions that they were tampered with during design by NSA, and are listed in djb's https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/ as unsafe. Using this program would force you to configure your server to accept keys using unsafe curves.

Geez, rather than concluding "Allegiant uses the same system, they have no problems, therefore the SW CEO must be lying" (a conclusion that probably pleases you because that's another win for your pet theory that CEOs can't be trusted), why not do your own investigation as to why Allegiant might have escaped this problem? A good scientist tries to disprove her own theories to make sure it's robust.

I had some thoughts on this just a couple weeks ago, in which I outright said I think most code comments are harmful: https://twitter.com/eyelidlessness/status/144409690913665434...

That said, I don’t think barring comments would be helpful. As you described, presence/frequency of comments tends to diminish as code quality improves. More, clarifying what I put in the tweet thread: quality of comments tends to improve and reliance on low quality comments tends to drop.

But that’s a correlation with other positive factors. Enforcing that a hypothetical low quality code author cannot include comments won’t convey all of the other factors that would help them improve the code they write. It’ll just make their low quality code more opaque.

A better approach, in my opinion, is to treat comments as code smells in review/maintenance tasks. You can use this as an opportunity to interrogate the comments directly, and discuss the commented code secondarily. This gives you a chance to express, here’s an approach that might not need explanation at all.
My first thought would be that the team within Apple may worry the researcher may resell the vulnerability to an exploits site.

Not part of the security industry so not sure what is common or not, but I would understand Apple being worried about sharing too much with a researcher they may not be familiar with.

I would also understand the researcher's point of view that this fell through the cracks or Apple is not willing to fix; and is likely what happened.
Good points. I think the OP's service needs to introduce a second person/founder, for sure.

In the U.S. I assume that she would be considered to be out in public and could be legally surveilled by her neighbor.
Is it that laughable? Aren’t many pilots former military pilots? Perhaps they just respect civil liberties and view bodily autonomy as a fundamental right that is being unconstitutionally eroded by executive order after executive order. The ACLU felt vaccine mandates were both a violation of civil liberties and unconstitutional until only very recently, when they shifted positions due to their growing partisanship.

“Polls in summer 2020 estimated that between 15 million and 26 million people had participated at some point in the demonstrations in the United States, making the protests the largest in U.S. history.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests

Given the sheer scale of people protesting they were, by all reasonable definitions, mostly peaceful. When news reports prefer to show things like broken windows and trash cans on fire, but it’s impossible to show 15 to 26 million people spread across 50 states, emphasizing that the protests were mostly peaceful and the violent images are the outlier is responsible journalism.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of VPN services. Why would someone you care about targeting use your specific one? Or is the point that you're just conducting a massive dragnet operation to see what you find? In that case, it's probably way cheaper to just send agents out to search people's trash every night /s.

Scale is very hard for a human to grasp non-experentially.

You can view all the pictures in the world, but when you actually see the Grand Canyon in person, the scale hits you. This thing occupies the entirety of my visual field.

I imagine this is the same thing, but bigger and starker. A deep, dark black that is vast absence in the entirety of your visual field interrupted only by a bright blue globe.

I'd be curious to see the typical rate of hearing degradation due to age graphed against typical income growth with age that would be required to support systems of this standard. Audiophiles are synonymous with diminishing returns, but I wonder if that is even more acute with age of the listener. Super cool nonetheless.

Omg lol. How do you know you didn’t get the “old strain” of the virus when you contracted COVID?

If you’re worried about mRNA for absolutely no scientific or educated reason whatsoever then why not get JnJ?

Even if you somehow know that you got a “newer” strain eventually there will be even more new strains. Are you just planning on getting yourself sick forever? What about when we are able to predict the strains that will become prevalent and we can just send out boosters shots for those? Are you going to sit it out and try and get sick instead?

By that logic you should go get Lyme Disease and not the vaccine before it. Build up your immunity.

> But I wouldn't hurry even if they were because not tested enough.

Describe exactly the scientific reasoning that explains what is “tested enough” and your educated and scientific basis for this. Every physician and scientist says that if there are troubles with a vaccine they appear shortly after (a month or maybe slightly longer) the vaccine goes into the population. Please explain the exact scientific details explaining why the mRNA vaccines or the Johnson & Johnson vaccine would not follow this pattern.

Texas residents are banned from the new contracts.

Sitting on the side sounds like roulette... presumably those who are mobile will leave the state for other lucrative contracts, and the rest will work "within the system" (probably wishing for a stronger union while they campaign for a slice of the pie).
Is there a page on their website that has a good list of:

- What the workers' demands are?

- What they want consumers to do to support the strike?

Finding it hard to navigate their website, and hearing people on social media say conflicting things, hard to get a read on what the official position of the union is.
That plan only works if we still have a functioning oil extraction and refinement system, which is something we’re obviously trying to get away from. Given how hard petroleum products are to store, these “just in case” power generation systems would require an entirely redundant but ready to operate fuel production process in the case renewables failed. It’s doable, but the cost would be absurd.

Probably easier to leave a bunch of nuclear power plants in standby, actually.
What has helped me a lot making better purchasing decisions on sites with a ranking system ala Amazon is only reading the 3 star reviews (or whatever is in the middle)

The 5 stars are somewhere between suspicious and just not that useful because of people being overly excited and the 1 star reviews is often people just having bad luck or not understanding what the product is and for whom.

Meanwhile the 3 stars I feel are the most sober ones, often pointing out flaws (and every product/service has them), that I can then make a more informed decision whether those flaws are going to affect me at all or going to be a show stopper.

That's why I'm a bit skeptical about the use of sentiment analysis or similar, independently of how well they work. I'm not necessarily convinced that excitement is actually that good a signal. E.g. there are many movies, books, etc that are generally well received but I don't like them at all. Doesn't make the other people or me wrong, I just have different expectations and preferences.

Similarly for tech services I would prefer having a much, much easier time being able to map the systems capabilities and limitations to my use case and budget than knowing whether other people like or dislike it.
Great ask. I have 20 years of experience. In no particular order…

- Read great code: e.g. Redis

- Learn systems thinking: Book like Thinking in Systems, The Systems Thinker, or similar.
Learn how to structure your thinking.

- Disagree well. Argue with data. Learn about people you work with to understand how they are wired and how they think (credit Ray Dalio’s excellent Principles book)

- Learn, practice, and hone above average human skills! Don’t be an ass. Listen. Be slow to criticize.

— Obsess about being awesome at communicating—1:1, group, written, presentations.

- Learn algorithms and data structures well so you have a firm foundation upon which to design solutions.

- Learn about how nature designs systems. Learn about fields outside yours (architecture, civil engineering, etc) to gain perspective on how they solve problems.

- Ask many questions!

I will never understand the career of Willie Brown. Literally hundreds of fake mayor jobs, many of which were assigned to mistresses, massive theft of public funds, legendary and brazen corruption, and yet he's still a well-loved figure.
I feel the same way.. Don't actually have a super strong opinion on Bezos either way, so reading a lot of the comments here.. They seem painted with loathing for him.

He's just a dude and was caught up for seconds with the party atmosphere while an old man was getting his words together. Yeah it was obvious to everyone watching he left Bill hanging, but he also seemed self conscious about that and came back to him..

Also, I call Bill an "old man" because he is. He's also one of the most present 90 year olds I'm aware of and is incredibly smart and with it. I would feel lucky if I was half as with it at 60-70, much less 90.
I think the skill you need is time management. or rather yet, laziness. as Bill Gates once said, he will always get a lazy person because he will find an easy way to do it.

think about it as a business (whether it is or not) every action has a price, in cash or in time or in both. aim for low hanging fruits. adapt to changes when they happen. experiment in small scale.

no person in the world can come up with design in their head and that would be it. software is never ending cycle of improving, layering, adapting. more often than not, stillness means death. design evolves with the code, what makes good design is how easy it is to evolve, and that takes skills and experience. sounds like you have the skills ("hack together until they work") and 3 years experience is no joke. to sum it up, my advice to you is to look at case studies of success and failure, these lessons often reflect on more than just programming
https://esbuild.github.io/faq/#benchmark-details has Parcel 2 benchmarks.

The summary is that you should use esbuild (or swc/spack when ready) for new projects and probably switch existing ones as well if feasible.

It's possible that the Parcel 2 version they used is not the released one, so maybe it improved.
