I appreciate the response and where you all are at. Perhaps a more consumer oriented place may offer better feedback for where you all are in the process?

"if you could take a look at the product itself. "

- I specifically said that: "I don't consider things that don't show pricing."

This is not just you - many other products on HN and in the software world - when I see 'contact us for pricing' or anything like that - I run.. I don't waste any more time, I do not bookmark.

With so many things to learn (and so much to do) - I can't waste time playing with tools not knowing the cost after I've invested the time to try things out.

In this particular area, as I mentioned, if the price was way lower than pinegrow (lifetime ownership, not some 1 year license type scheme) - I would poke around to see if it could be used. Otherwise I have more mature options already and don't need to spend any time with it.

I'd also compare it to bluegriffon, and even webflow and figma, wordpress, all the things - but price needs to be a known factor before looking at anything else.

And if it turns out to be some sort of monthly / yearly kind of thing, I won't invest the time to use it either. That's just where I am at with most things I use.

I also read terms of use before I spend more time delving into how useful a product is - of course if it's buy it, and own it on your desktop - that's not usually a problem.
Square or portrait aspect monitors rock for most computer work that's not media. Give it a try sometime.
One way it can work is if devs are already overcommitted on multiple projects, so letting them focus more does help. E.g. horizontal scaling, rather than piling more devs onto the same project.
> Which is kind of to the point, they have more money on hand than a small country’s budget

They don’t, though, that’s the entire point.

> and even if they lose it all it almost doesn’t make a dent in their net worth.
> In this situation it is almost reasonable to want a small crisis to shake out your upcoming competitors and buy some more land or other things of real value at a discount.

A small crisis will in fact not cause them to lose significant amount of cash, but will cause them to lose significant amount of their net worth. Nobody wants that.

I don't think it's objectively good marketing. But then I guess it depends on what your philosophical stance is on "succès de scandale" (a logical extreme; there isn't much controversy here).

My stance on the ethics of marketing is that "anything goes" until you start tarnishing the names of others to get ahead. This is why trash talking past employers/coworkers has always been an insta-no-hire in my book for example.

Now I don't know to overstate what this guy did. Obviously he's not outright trash talking here. But I think once you form a company and start marketing then you should be held to some ethical standard. If you mention other people or companies by name then consider how what you're saying could be perceived.
> Bezos does not have his cash in hand, for the most part. To the extent that he does have cash in hand, he has already paid taxes on that cash.

What a lot of high wealthy individuals are doing is using their portfolios as collateral against lines of credit. The LOCs give them cash to fund their lifestyle, and they don't have to liquidate their portfolios and take the capital gains charges (at least in the short-term).

Someone can have both holdings and cash in this situation.

This has been possible lately because rates are so low, so the interest doesn't cost borrowers that much.
At some point, probably. Very unclear when and what it looks like at this point. Aside from niche commercial use cases, I certainly haven't seen anything that especially interests me.
Talk is cheap. When did Facebook ever care about interop?
I find a conversation more distracting if it's relevant to me.

If we have to cram developers into open plan offices then each feature team should be dispersed throughout the building, so that the discussions each person overhears are less relevant to the person overhearing them.

> That’s one reason analysts thought Apple could never maintain its technical lead as other companies could easily replicate the tech. They didn’t factor in the sophistication of the software, but that couldn’t necessarily hold indefinitely.

Something that was also overlooked: talent.

Apple was able to attract some of the best talent in the world. I don't think other companies were as successful (BlackBerry/Samsung to Apple was seen as a step up, the opposite was almost unheard of).
It is true that it’s not cash in the wallet but it’s there available if you want it. It is in no way comparable to paycheck to paycheck living.

This practice also comes with all sorts of tax benefits as well.

If they really need to pay some of it back then the company might decide to buy back some shares.

And realistically, like the old adage says: If you owe the bank $1M it owns you, if you owe the bank $1B you own the bank.
Could probably store all multiples of 3 and 5 up to some really big number burned directly to hardware and then do something like a big CAM table the way Internet core routers do mapping the numbers to ASCII bit strings. Then speedup IO by not having a general purpose display, but something more like an old-school digital clock that can only show digits and the words "fizz" and "buzz."

In my early 20s (male) I was prescribed (read: pushed) citalopram by my family doctor. I took it for about a year. I'm in my early 30s now and sometimes STILL suffer from the inability to reach orgasm. I stopped taking the medication and when I realized it was in fact the medication interfering with my love life, and unfortunately realized too late. I've read alot about this after the fact and am surprised this reached HN. Nothing really to add to this conversation but its reassuring to know I'm not alone.
I learned Scala, and slowly used more and more immutable data structures. The rest followed naturally.

I think working with immutable data structures is the key to functional programming. It leads to writing more pure functions and changes your thinking about software architecture.
New Chromebooks Bricked on Arrival
No, because you'd still need book keeping around the length of [first, last), even if the implementation does under-the-hood O(1) movement of nodes in [first, last) from other to *this. Computing the length of [first, last) is still an O(n) operation for forward iterators.

Maybe you're assuming [first, last) is the entirety of other? For that case, there are overloads for splicing an entire list in O(1) time:

void splice( const_iterator pos, list& other );
void splice( const_iterator pos, list&& other );
Not that I want to compliment Zuckerberg, but "buy what you can't build", "know what you can't build", and "reasonably estimate the value of a young company" all seem like business savvy to me. Warren Buffet could be accused of simply buying his way into a huge conglomerate, but instead he's celebrated as a wise investor...
Nope, you build a RPI cluster for the sake of it.
I was really hoping for an in-depth discussion of noise within the brain. Then I was really hoping for an in-depth discussion of how and why certain kinds of noise may be helpful, in both creativity and/or maintaining focus. Its not that I disagree with anything that was written, but I really was hoping for something whose tldr didn't amount to: bad noise bad, good noise good.
There's also an age minimum. My freshman year of college I had the sniffles and a bad cough. I went to the pharmacy to get some Sudafed but couldn't purchase since I was still 17. Went to the school's health center where the doctor happily prescribed me opioids (the infamous purple drank).
It would have been so much less cringe if they had just hired an actor that people liked to deliver the message. No one likes Mark Zuckerberg, so why is he the talking head. He's a terrible actor and presenter. They really needed to pay a famous person to do it.
You’re absolutely right, as myowz pointed out, it was ignored with G/Alphabet, but it would funnily confusing to say “He works for a MANGA (or MAAAN) company” to someone…
"future-proofed where possible to be able to run faster if the relevant processor bottleneck – L2 cache write speed – is ever removed)."

Being able to write a function limited mostly by the l2 cache size and able to realize that is rad

And btw this is an interesting example of how hand optimized assembly can be much much faster than any other solution. Can you get as fast as this solution with mostly C/C++? It uses interesting tricks to avoid memcopy (calling it slow rofl)
You are exposing your lack of knowledge on what it means to run a multinational corporation. It isn't one lucky choice, it is strategy and execution over the long term. This is the same for any successful company.
That's probably far too distant for LPDDR. I guess these pads are for NAND flash, and RAM is right next to processor under the heatsink.
It's true that F isn't a good leaving group, but that's a double edged sword. By the same token, continuous exposure means that when it is occasionally substituted into organic molecules throughout the body, it will be not easily substituted out. I am curious now what the equilibrium retention point is for typical fluoridation levels.
Hey... I'm not tricking anyone. I used a term that was related to work I was currently doing. It's not the best term, you're right. But my meaning was quite clear.

If you base UBI on cost of living, and cost of living depends on UBI, then you find yourself in a feedback loop. My use of turing complete was not really accurate, but it was the context my mind was in when writing this comment.

"Simple made easy" by Rich Hickey
I think the only thing I really quibble a bit with is the description of "dumber".

Our "domestication" has historically been more that we've gone from a generalist species to a specialist society. With that, things that were previously probably a boon for survival and reproduction become less so (For example, quick reaction times don't matter so much when you have a city wall to keep out predators and a backup hunting party).

My assumption is that what we've lost is more our brain matter used to sleep in trees and wake up/run from predators at all hours of the night. Stuff that's less important when you have night watchman, fires, and shelter.

It's similar to how dolphins have huge brains, but most of that is dedicated to sound processing. If dolphins learned how to make huts, farm fish, and fight off predators I'd imagine the part of their brain dedicated to processing sound would start to shrink as there isn't the evolutionary pressure to keep it around.

Sort of like how humans might be evolving towards color blindness because being able to tell the difference between red and green doesn't necessarily increase our ability to have children. That might lead to weird changes in our eyes and brains that could shrink them but wouldn't necessarily mean those humans are any dumber than their predecessors.

I'm not sure the comment is implicit of who did the shutdowns but even taking it as so the widget orders by the 10s of thousands I referenced were mostly public school systems receiving mandates and associated COVID relief funding to compl,y not private enterprises. Particularly younger grades weren't normally assigned personal hardware and not every child had internet access at home. Though like you say the private sector remote work shift certainly happened too and exacerbated the ordering situation.
Fortunately, you don’t get to decide that. Contrary to popular sentiment on HN, Amazon is one of the most favorably perceived brand by Americans, ranked top 4 in 2020. When you go against Amazon, you go against something that Americans like more than Netflix.
Bots, hooks, extensions: choosing the right integration pattern
The URL identifies an entity. In the old static website days this meant a file - a html file or an image on a file system. With REST, the idea was to create a virtual filesystem and take advantage of the HTTP infrastructure already in place with regards to caching etc.

So often when I get involved in "REST" projects, I find URLs that include words like "update" or "add", or where the GET returns JSON with a completely different shape to that the PUT accepts.

Does it matter? If you don't cache anything - probably not, but it isn't REST as it was understood.

Generalize to what?

Also, what other context?
> GM and the rest of Detroit got their rear ends handed to them by the Japanese and their application of JIT

GM and the rest of Detroit got their rear ends handed to them because they'd underinvested in fuel-efficient engine designs (the lost 70s) and grown lazy in reliability.

Lean manufacturing may have allowed Japanese manufacturers to price more competitively and be more agile, but at the end of the day, they increased their sales because they made better cars.
>"examiners are incentivised according to the number of patents they grant"

This is completely wrong; their incentive is actually to reject an application. The optimal strategy for an examiner seems to be to reject an application at least twice, usually more. There is abundant literature on this topic, and I encourage you to explore it.
I see it akin to having everybody run a race and giving them cash according to how they place. Except what about this kid who's in a wheelchair? Or the kid who has cerebral palsy? Or the kid who's staying up all night to help run his parents' restaurant and comes to school exhausted?

There's plenty of people who don't get good grades for reasons outside of their control.
Or just ignore the name change like people did with the Sears tower or miller park
Pretty sure many in the middle class do the exact same thing. That's the whole idea behind mortgages, auto loans, etc -- to fund consumption on credit and pay the interest with income.
> The iPhone went on sale months after Jobs' announcement (IIRC).

yes, but thats a different CEO who was about presenting themselves as perfect. Zuckerberg for his legion of faults has never done this. He is far more comfortable saying what he wants to deliver _first_

We don't need to, they've handily split out the amount of money they are pouring into this in the public accounts.

> More interesting is that FB possibly has lost so much confidence in its brand that it's de-emphasizing it, which seems like an overreaction to me.

It was fucking stupid to try and link them so closely in the first place. Instagram was a cool brand. Instagram by facebook is deffo not.
I think that some of unix derivatives do or have done in the past. If the argument to write is page aligned and a multiple of a page size they play VM tricks to implement zero copy writes.

The issue is that the caller to write is allowed to do anything it wants with the buffer after write returns, so the write implementation need to unmap the stolen pages and perform copy on write if the caller ever touches them again, so in practice the optimization is very fragile. For this reason Linus as always refused to implement this optimization.

Splicevm gets away with it because it is part of the caller contract that it can't ever touch the pages until the kernel is done with them. Unfortunately there is no general way to know when it is safe to reuse them and it is very application specific (for example there might be an explicit ack from the consumer that it has received the data)
> Rockets are an exception, in that they work perfectly well in a vacuum, where a propellar would do nothing.

A sideways rocket would... fall to the ground. Just like anything that doesn't have a way to oppose gravity.

> Airodynamic theory, including Bernoulli and Navier-Stokes equations only serve to explain _how_ the wings accelerate the air down.

But those are the very point of this discussion. Does the force, enough to hold up the entire aircraft, come from essentially pinging tiny tennis balls off the wing, or does it perhaps come from a complex interaction of the air with the wing, involving ideas of boundary layer separation?

Yeah. They're different. Dividends give you cash on the barrel each quarter that is very sticky about heading in a downward direction--but tax treatment is pretty much like ordinary income in most cases.

Stock buybacks may drive stock prices upwards in an unpredictable way that may lead to being able to sell appreciated stock in a tax-advantaged way a couple years out.

Theoretically, it's all the same after tax effects but we don't live in that theoretical world.
It’s basically a peace treaty. There are things about it that I think are incredibly counterproductive to democracy (and they were designed to be so!), but I shudder at the thought of rolling the dice on scrapping or heavily re-writing it.

> One rationale behind the push for global integration after WW2 and later on with China and the former Soviet Bloc was the idea that such integration would create incentives against a resurgence of war between great powers. It is precisely because another world war would be so disruptive in light of global economic integration that global integration was promoted and pursued in the first place by many policy makers—in order to make such wars less likely to occur.

That's a topic explored a bit in The Interdependency Series by John Scalzi. I found it am amusing read (and actually liked Wil Wheaton as a narrator for it... though not everyone agrees on that point).

The teaser for the first book of the series:

> Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars.

> Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.
I'm glad it's sold out. I was tempted to buy it even though I know I'd screw it up doing the bending and separating myself. I'm so bad at DIY. I know to buy extras and backups for everything because of how often I screw stuff up.

Maybe I should be more clear; no data needs to be fetched from disk/network, and the "writes" don't need to go past memory.

As for the second point, you might have a different definition of "naive" and "relatively simple" as my brain has rotted too much from only thinking about SIMD for numerical computation. While determining divisibility be relatively clear, it wasn't clear how the printing would be easily vectorizable as the output-per-number is variable in length.

Yeah, there's something really naive about assuming you can just give people cash and have the economy work out. The last time we solved severe inequality it took regulation, innumerable fights against large corporations, and yes, a "bully pulpit". Cash can jump start and right previous wrongs, but to move forward we need legislation.
Why is there evolutionary pressure for the brain to shrink? We seem to have enough calories to feed our brains, and we're not beholden to some master species that needs to economize.
I've heard about a workshop that do plasma cuts. Just wanted to know how it is called!
There were two quantified subjects in the quote you referenced - "biggest shock to economy" and "best years for most big businesses". My guess is he was replying about the first subject.
I wouldn't be able to work if the radio was on. I can buy that we want people near us not to feel alone. I get that too when nobody else is in the house and I'm alone and not working. You suddenly focus on a lot of noises you otherwise wouldn't and wonder if they're normal. That cracking noise your roof structure makes in 0F weather? You don't even notice when people are around but you wonder if someone is breaking into your house if you're alone and hear it.

I work best when it's "completely silent". By that I don't mean actually completely silent but I certainly don't want radio or any other kinds of chatter. I also can't stand noise from ventilation, such as the AC. I do know that a lot of people even buy "white noise machines" e.g. for sleeping. I can't understand why people would voluntarily import that kind of noise. I actively try to get rid of it as much as I can, such as turning the AC way up ahead of going to bed and shutting it off for going to sleep.

All that to say that we're all very different. He doesn't state absolute truths.

Imagine sitting in a noisy cafe but still working on your paper because you don’t know anyone and don’t have the context of any discussion.

This is a really hard environment to get anything done in. I have trouble just reading a book in such an environment, because usually you _do_ hear individual conversations from your neighbours. If it's so noisy that you can't, then the "white noise" is so loud that it overpowers everything and that is what disturbs me.
