My anecdote:

In my first year of undergrad, I had the choice of two internships: one at a prestigious company and another at a place nobody has heard of but offered more dev responsibilities. I chose the latter while another classmate took the prestigious name. By our senior years, he was able to get more interviews even though I had more dev experience.

Today, when our professional experiences are relatively the same, we can both secure interviews but those early years were rough when I didn't have a prestigious name on my resume

Maybe everyone has stopped copying the notch (I’m honestly not sure), but numerous manufacturers were copying it soonafter the iPhone X release. See: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/2/28/17062030/i...

Edit, to finish the thought: so it remains to be seen if other manufacturers will follow-suit this time.
Based on a Google search of the term, it seems that Go uses that terminology, but others might not...
Cold outreach strategy that works (2020)
Since the article mentions it, the amount of carbonation in any given beverage actually varies by a lot. The traditional measurement of carbonation is in "volumes", which is the amount of space the CO2 would take up at standard temperature and pressure (32F and 1 atm). Coca Cola is usually packaged at 3 volumes; if you took all the CO2 out of the soda it would occupy 3x the volume of the soda it came from.

Alcoholic beverages on the other hand have a pretty wide range of regular carbonation levels. On your lower end you have stouts and Scottish ales at 1.9-2.1, and on the high end you get your dubbel and heffe weisen at 3-3.5 volumes. Champagne is regularly in the 4.5-6 range, which necessitates a different bottle and closure design to handle the 2-3x pressure it contains compared to beer.

On a particularly dumb note, ciders are limited by law to 0.64g per 100ml, or 3.2 volumes. Above that level they cease being ciders and instead become a sparkling wine. This is very important because natural cider is taxed at $0.226 per gallon, while sparkling wine is taxed at $3.30 or $3.40 per gallon depending on how the carbonation is added. This is a difference of roughly 30 cents per standard bottle, or $1.79 per six pack; enough of a difference to make similar products more attractive on the market place shelf.

But it takes the menu bar space, which is already scarce even without the notch. Some people may have many app icons and "widgets" (e.g. iStat Menus) on the menu bar.

I'm like the post your responsed to, I really hate that (and all sorts of automated recommandation systems, I just can't stand Spotify for instance). Computers are here for me to tell them what to do, not to take non-repeatable decisions (and this makes it more and more painful to use the web over the years frankly, everything is becoming an inconsistent mess)
I currently use B2 for my offsite backups, only around 1.5TB, using rclone. Works well and costs just under $7/mo.

I looked at rsync.net and really liked the idea, but costing 5x as much just doesn't justify the features.

Where do they offer the 3x cost solution? Cheapest pricing I can find is 2.5cents/GiB/mo (the 5x price).

This is my approach. I save money now and hopefully in a few years I can just work full time on stuff that interests me without worrying about income. In my case, that would be working full-time on my own personal projects.
Great topic! I will be reading part 1 as well. I just watched "Kiss the Ground" on Netflix, a 2020 documentary about regenerative agriculture.

https://www.netflix.com/title/81321999

Lots of smart people interviewed there. The side-by-sides of the industrial farm and regenerative farm were striking.

And the demo of the egg might convince a few people.

During the pandemic I tried to get about 50% of my calories from the farmer's market, and I'm hoping to keep that up after moving.
> I will remember him an uncommonly principled man...

Might as well say the same of Stalin, Kissinger, Mauo Te sing, ...

He literally lied out his ass his entire career, starting with the report on the 1968 Mai Lai massacre ... where he basically white washed and probably strong-armed the media to cover it up, since nobody would touch it for nearly a year until a journalist just blasted it out to as many newspapers as he possibly could reach and like 50 published it, and then bigger publications followed.

Otherwise we'd maybe never know of the atrocities we committed during vietnam by massacering women and children.

I'd really hate to meet someone you think is an unprincipled man, because honestly I'd hate to meet this guy you think is 'uncommonly principled'.
I’ve read that the Austrian school believed you can figure out economics from first principles, but I don’t think that’s true generally.
Hitting $1k of sales in 30 days with no connections
Ah I thought I read you had a 2016.

I realize I haven’t looked at the exact price / performance jumps between the releases across MBA and MBP for Intel to Apple Silicon.

I’m curious just how big of a change there was across common metrics.
As a Rustacean currently learning Elixir, I found myself wanting this exact functionality. Kudos for making this, I'll definitely use it!
It's still a loss (for the current year).

But this is a SaaS, working with recurring revenue.

Some metrics to consider are:

- Cost of Customer Acquisition

- Lifetime Value

They could spend 200$ to get an average customer, but they will renew their subscription for an average of 5 years and generate over 2000$ in revenue during that time.

As long as you keep track of these metrics you know you're in a good direction or digging yourself a hole.

Besides other costs R&D, Admin, Marketing and Sales can be scaled up and down as needed, and become a smaller part of the costs as the company grows.
Only if that machine is a 8 or 16 bit CPU, with code compiled as -O0.

And even then, it's impossible to write something like malloc() without using either an external Assembler or language extensions.
No, numbers read left to right, even when using Arabic numerals and when the rest of the text is RTL. Even more oddly, negative signs are typically placed on the right side.
> No more than the flu vaccine for any given year (which also wanes over time and requires boosters).

This gaslighting is silly. Did public health officials not disclose during the initial rollout that the vaccines would wane over time because they were telling yet another noble lie, or because they simply didn't know because their effects had not yet been observed in people for that length of time?
So what happens if there are no gaps, does the lid go flying off?
I use rclone as well and it has worked reliably for years. Keeping the password [1] separate allows me to restore files to a fresh computer as needed. Backblaze B2 is just one of many backend options [2].

Numbers in Arabic are still left-to-right 19 is still ١٩, not ٩١. It makes designing forms fairly annoying, because for text fields you want RTL input, but fields like phone numbers, you need to override the locale's RTL and ask for LTR input.
Rclone only uploads/overrides the remote if the meta-data (size/date/etc) shows a difference. Most disk corruption doesn't change these so it still works as a corruption backup.
To finally use my laptop as it's intended: without being tethered to an outlet. The battery life on these is phenomenal.

Three Body Problem: Solution
I am not interested in Apple's ecosystem. While I stay with X86 I wonder if and when AMD and Intel will catch up. Or if another ARM chip maker will release a chip as good but without tying it to a proprietary system.
"We present a statistical approximate solution of the bound, non-hierarchical three-body problem, and extend it to a general analysis of encounters between hard binary systems and single stars.

Any such encounter terminates when one of the three stars is ejected to infinity, leaving behind a remnant binary; the problem of binary-single star-scattering consists of finding the probability distribution of the orbital parameters of the remnant binary, as a function of the total energy and the total angular momentum.

Here, we model the encounter as a series of close, non-hierarchical, triple approaches, interspersed with hierarchical phases, in which the system consists of an inner binary and a star that orbits it -- this turns the evolution of the entire encounter to a random walk between consecutive hierarchical phases.

We use the solution of the bound, non-hierarchical three-body problem to find the walker's transition probabilities, which we generalise to situations in which tidal interactions are important. Besides tides, any dissipative process may be incorporated into the random walk model, as it is completely general.

Our approximate solution can reproduce the results of the extensive body of past numerical simulations, and can account for different environments and different dissipative effects. Therefore, this model can effectively replace the need for direct few-body integrations for the study of binary-single encounters in any environment. Furthermore, it allows for a simply inclusion of dissipative forces typically not accounted for in full N-body integration schemes."
Based on the anecdote from peterburkimsher below, and not seeing any other reason to vent the pressure, I would guess so.

This webpage is a relic from an internet that no longer exists. This style of forum, kind of nostalgic. I can't help but feel that we lost something great with the modern web.
Maybe it depends on what you work on.

From my experience things go like this

1 we have a simple problem I implement a simple elegant solution

2 some new feature is added, this means there are some special cases now, most of the time someone else in the team adds this new feature , so 4-5 different places are modified, functions need to get more parameters and some IFs are added in those 4-5 places

3 later a new feature is added again, a few more extra special cases again , the dev will again go add some more function parameters here and there , add more IFs but fails to find where all the places that might need to be modified are.

4 things are now a big mess, I have to fix it, and I now have to read all the code, my own old code that was changed with different exceptions and the other developers code.
I spend a lot of time on reading stuff, understanding how stuff works now, understand why this new code does some stuff then I spend the time abstracting again a solution, abstracting all the special cases. After I have a solution in mind comes the refactoring, with static types or type hints is much easier to find where stuff is used so you know what to modify.

I am sure one some projects where maybe there is only 1 or few devs that all write quality code and there are no new requirements that need implemented ASAP the code could stay more readable but this is the exception unfortunately.
I liked how Backblaze storage is innovative and how they described in detail it's architecture and algorithms used.

Amazon was notorious for having a profit of about 0 for years and years due to investment in capital (to produce future earnings). Your spending today includes both the operational costs of creating what you have today, plus the investment you're making to generate additional revenue in the future. Obviously this excludes other important expenses like depreciation, but you get the idea.
It would also require the whole thing be designed differently.

The hinge would need to be sturdy enough to not wobble when the user is dragging or tapping with a finger. The body would need to be heavier than the screen by a big enough margin to not topple the whole thing over when tapping.
I come at it from the other direction, I’m constantly in awe of the fact that I don’t even know the names of my great great grandparents. I know generally where they lived and I can assume what they did for a living, but I know nothing more. How do we know so little about things that were a mere 5-10 generations ago? We don’t even know the kinds of foods and drinks that existed 40 generations ago?

We are the first generation ever to have a permanent digital paper trail and it scares the hell out of me. We’re meant to be forgotten.

I would argue dynamic backlit screens are terrible for development actually. High contrast is intense on the eye.

I bought a QLED TV 3 years ago, and tried to use it as an external display for my laptop. It's painful to look at. You switch from a white window to a black one and the TV adjusts backlight dynamically and blasts your eyes. I would react by putting my hand in front on my eyes like if i had looked outside from inside a cave after getting used to the cave.

Something like e-ink would be best for office work indeed. Lighting is external so controlled by the user and in line with the rest of the room
That certainly isn’t settled law.

Expansion isn't objects in space moving farther apart through space it's the change in the geometry of space itself. A poor analogy might be a continuous zoom of a map map on your phone while something always moves less than a constant speed limit of pixels per second on the screen. It is easy to see this object can move around locations on the map but may not be able to reach most of the map if it is zooming in fast enough that far away portions !at get farther away faster than it can travel to them at the constant pixels per second.

> they could alternatively adhere to SEC guidelines for selling financial instruments to the public. Clear auditing, GAAP, prospectus including a frank discussion of risks, etc.

Imo it would make it worse. Most of widely available standard financial instruments are based on some sort of contractual obligations of responsible parties, assets, operations. Risk analysis has been developing for decades for these instruments, and then enter Gamestop and AMC…

What would you put in prospectus for bitcoin, ethereum, level 2 cryptos or colored bitcoin? Or something like dash or monero? How do you estimate risk and impact of the upcoming ethereum fork?

Using the same guidelines for crypto as for standard financial instruments, will
make it look like one of the known investment interests, while in fact, it is fundamentally different. I would say anyone, who tries to sell you a bitcoin under disguise of investment with some known risk properties is misleading.
This isn't that surprising at all, we do have historical documents from thousands of years ago that describe beer and cheese production, consumption, and trade. For instance, when Xenophon (2500 years ago) was passing through Armenia, he described a local "barley wine" that was an acquired taste:

> There were stores within of wheat and barley and vegetables, and wine made from barley in great big bowls; the grains of barley malt lay floating in the beverage up to the lip of the vessel, and reeds lay in them, some longer, some shorter, without joints; when you were thirsty you must take one of these into your mouth, and suck. The beverage without admixture of water was very strong, and of a delicious flavour to certain palates, but the taste must be acquired.

Even way before that, beer was consumed throughout the ancient Near East, and it even made it to the first work of literature that has survived to modern times, the Epic of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh's wild buddy Enkidu is given beer to drink:

> "... he ate until he was full, drank seven pitchers of beer, his heart grew light, his face glowed and he sang out with joy."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabasis_(Xenophon)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_beer

You can search for the words "cheese" and "wine" in Anabasis to see plenty of mentions, including the passage above:

"I'm openly critical of their ad-driven business model, especially since the damage is clearer. That's broached in the show, but only to point out how much money Google would theoretically owe these guys if they'd agreed or been forced to license at 10 cents per use (which was very unlikely IMO).

Invading people's privacy for profit is not something to yearn for. It's one of the reasons I sold all my Google stock. I respect Google's engineering work and the great "free" information they provide. There are a lot of smart and dedicated people working there. But the biz model is not ok, IMO."

Sad that Google appropriated this guy's work for a "business model" that he does not approve of.

Perhaps there are many more folks like him, who have done solid, valuable work in some area that has nothing to do with invading people's privacy or online ads, only to have the product of that work usurped and given away for "free" in the interests of furthering Google's prime directive: selling online ad services.
