On the other hand 100s of millions of those devices ship with a programming tool on the home screen where you can create tiny pieces of functionality and hook them into every system and third party application (Apple Shortcuts).

But yeah, it‘s not the same. It doesn‘t get you anywhere close to "producing“ the real software. You‘re programming in a walled garden layer above userspace that you can‘t get out of. To me, these kinds of things are enough to give me hope though (setting aside the ideals of open source). The incentives for learning how to "produce“ real software are strong enough. If more people can build tools for themselves, I‘m happy.
Do you have any statistics to say it happens so often that airplane landings are so suboptimal that they use anywhere near climbing fuel rates and times that it matters to the overall discussion? It seems unlikely to me.
How are hackers scanning the whole Internet in just a few minutes?
There're several of stories of some level of craziness here in the thread. I wonder why none tried to sue bank? Are banks in the US really above the law? Or probably not too high to be sued, but enough to make good money.

>designed specifically around async like Go is, which some profound tradeoffs to make it happen.

Go was not designed around the idea of "async". Its goroutine approach was inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_sequential_proce..., a nice theoretical model for concurrency.
> The virus wouldn’t have a high survival rate if we didn’t have these measures. Otherwise hospitals would be completely overrun, which would not only increase death rates directly related to COVID but also those of people with any other illness who rely on hospital care to survive.

Where's your proof? Seriously. How do you know it would be worse? We might all have herd immunity by now and not be worried about it.

Also, if people are so worried about hospital capacity, why are they firing doctors and nurses who haven't had the shot, but have natural immunity? The CDC recently admitted they have no data showing that people with natural immunity spread COVID [1]. Yet the vaccinated can (and if you don't believe that, then you have not been paying attention). So why are naturally-immune doctors and nurses being fired when we supposedly need them most, to stop ICU's from being overwhelmed?

The reason is because it's not about health. It's about control.

So when you bring up the argument that ICU's are being overwhelmed, I just ignore it; it's a distraction. You just don't know that yet.

I think you're dramatically overestimating the difficulty of building the projectiles. It's really not that difficult to build electronics that can withstand the required G forces. Here in the UK we built proximity fused warheads for artillery shells using glass vacuum tubes during WW2.

The HARP program in the 1960s experimented with gun launched Martlet series of rockets. They tested several designs using solid fuelled rockets, but the program was cancelled before the liquid fuelled version was ready for testing.
What a bullshit article from a conventional media company.

Sub stack is fantastic. I support Matt Taibbi and Katy Halpert. I enjoy their material a lot and I like getting a different perspective from people who are not paid to promote a corporate/Wall Street agenda. I also support Glen Greenwald, just because, but I don’t consume much of his material.

Anyone who thinks that they receive balanced news from the likes of MSNBC or Fox News is an idiot. They literally exist to push a pro Wall Street and pro elites agenda. I am not advising to totally give up on corporate news media, but balance it out and think for yourself which sources you personally trust more.

I also trust ex-presidential candidate Marianne Williamson. Follow her on Twitter to get a sample of news that might get you thinking outside your box.
> But working with other lawyers/parties could be a challenge. I am not certain how Libreoffice could handle a 500 page memo being worked by 50+ people including thousands of track changes/comments.

Other industries have figured out the problem of how to allow many people to work on text based documents.

The fact that the Legal world still runs on antiquated software is because of the billable hour. Until that changes, law firms will resist any meaningful improvement to their workflow.
>That’s why we built Databricks SQL not based on Spark.

Wait... really? The sales folks I've been talking to didn't mention this. I assumed that when I ran SQL inside my Python, it was decomposed into Spark SQL with weird join problems (and other nuances I'm not fully familiar with).

Not that THAT would have changed my mind. But it would have changed the calculus of "who uses this tool at my company" and "who do I get on board with this thing"

Edit:
To add, I've been a customer of Snowflake for years. I've been evaluating Databricks for 2 months, and put the POC on hold.
I got bitten by this unsoundness which looks like to be present in Dart 2 as well

Yeah, I buy this theory in general, but I'm not sure that's the highest-leverage way to use this access.
Thanks for clarifying. I took a less charitable interpretation of your view, can't disagree with this though!
Age uses this feature of GitHub, as an example, in the documentation:

"Encrypting to a GitHub user

Combining SSH key support and -R, you can easily encrypt a file to the SSH keys listed on a GitHub profile.

$ curl https://github.com/benjojo.keys | age -R - example.jpg > example.jpg.age"

I also like distributing public keys via DNS TXT records and have written about that some here:

Linus Torvalds on Why ARM Won't Win the Server Space (2019)
You know, if I was 17 and bored, I’d look up all of the keys for all of the people from national security agencies that have contributed to open source projects on GitHub and see if anything noteworthy turns up anywhere.
Not for first strike. First strike is about the ability to destroy or seriously degrade an enemy's ability to retailiate.

With this it's huge, cannot be hidden or moved and the orientation would be obvious from a spy satellite. Any serious enemy would just have systems like this under 24/7 observation and would launch retaliation the moment it was fired, or even looked like it was going to be fired at them.

Other applications perhaps.

a VTOL rocket booster, no, but NASA has had experience with VTOL rockets. Despite their marking, SpaceX did not invent VTOL rockets.
I thought this was interesting in retrospect, now that Apple have switched to ARM on the desktop, and AWS are heavily pushing ARM on the server.
> But such a type doesn't really mention the lifetimes of whatever it captures, so in practice it doesn't work well in Rust.

It can: Box<dyn Fn(Arg) -> R + 'a>

This is just the general syntax for any trait object with a lifetime.
Users of only "stable" FOSS releases almost never contribute, in code, or to its health or longevity. They are leeching it, sometimes over decades.

They don't contribute to testing either, since they just consume releases and ignore development, then wonder loudly why there are bugs.

Don't be that guy... if you want your dependencies to have a long life being maintained, find some time to contribute. Leeching is not contribution.
I don't normally read Wired, so I'm not defending them as a publication, but I can't find any of your accusations in the article. They don't suggest even implicitly that their readers should avoid Substack - they just point out the good and the bad, and quote perspectives from multiple sides about their business model, and don't seem to be cherry-picking those perspectives or engineering an image. They even say multiple times that Substack's founder's arguments against the traditional attention-economy model are true and valid. In fact, this seems to paint Substack in a more positive and objective light than I usually see people write about it in.

>the NYtimes becoming subscriber-only is "good journalism"

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but it says "[social media] broke the preexisting business models[, but] plenty of publications, The New York Times perhaps chief among them, are managing to make big bucks from good writing." They seem to be contrasting the models of NYT and Substack, not comparing them, saying that NYT is an example of the traditional model. Now, if I'm right, that's really dumb, since NYT makes most of its money from subscriptions, not from the ads (I think), but they don't seem to be committing a double-standard like you're describing.

>substack being subscriber-only cannot be good because only ad-supported journalism can be centrist

Are you referring to this part, where they paraphrase a professor?

>the majority of ad-supported TV networks, Fox News excepted, are resolutely centrist and play to the lowest common denominator in order to attract the broadest possible range of advertisers

If so, that was only a single counter-example, not presented as evidence that Substack's model is bad, and it matches my experience. Yes, they shouldn't have singled out Fox as their example of an exception, but the point that polarized outlets are technically a minority seems correct. They seem like the majority, because they have a dominant mind share and they are all people talk about. The ad model pushes outlets in one of two directions: Cater hard to one audience (be extreme and opinionated), or cater broadly to as many people as possible (be boring and non-offensive), and, numerically, most outlets still attempt the latter strategy, however otherwise flawed (e.g. technical incompetence) some subset of those outlets may be.

Even regardless, they don't seem to go on from that perspective to say anything like "being subscriber-only cannot be good", not of Substack nor of any other outlet.

>none of the journalists mentioned were actually deplatformed

Though Greenwald, you, and I don't think he was deplatformed, everybody I know who likes Greenwald, and many people I don't know, it seems, believe he was. They usually say he was effectively forced to resign. It was definitely wrong not to touch on that disagreement, but it is apparently a popular opinion among his proponents.
Quickstart:

repo=/mnt/mybackupdrive/somefolder
restic init -r $repo
restic backup /my/files -r $repo
restic mount /mnt/backedup -r $repo
cp -r /mnt/backedup/snapshots/latest/accidentally-removed-directory ~/restored

Where the repository can also be sftp or various other things.

There are a ton of other commands and options, but to literally just get started, this is all you need for making and restoring data from a backup.
I know that titles have to be written to capture attention but I was really hoping there was going to be a story here. Something about how someone realized in their old age that the use of unstable software was a big regret. Sounded pretty odd so I clicked through to see. I was disappointed it was just an article about backward compatibility and preferring 3rd party libraries.

I’m sure on my deathbed software will not be coming to mind but if it did I’ll probably wish I took more chances on some crazy things like beta iOS ;-p
In Haskell and other purely functional programming languages, one encounters exactly the same challenge. These communities have worked out sophisticated, well-documented solutions. Facing any problem, one should always ask "Who else has already encountered this problem?" To ignore their work is to reinvent the wheel. As a Haskell programmer exploring Rust, I was thrilled to recognize this parallel.

One gains persistent data structures. In many problems, "reuse" is far more efficient than carving out each new instance from scratch.

I've never understood the evangelists that claim one can't learn functional programming after any exposure to conventional programming, but perhaps the prejudices run deeper than I've recognized. How does one characterize a rejection out-of-hand of persistent data structures?

"One-use plastic bag syndrome"
Having the same background, I often heard this praise too, though mostly for Soviet works. But every time I followed up on it, I found that even the introductory level books dug right into the depths without much explanation. They might have been good in rigor or depth, but I found them very lacking didactically.

Maybe I looked at the wrong ones. Your link seems to suggest that it's different for textbooks aimed at young children.

Can you give me some examples of good East German higher math or physics books? I'd like to have another go at it.
The human body is an unstable platform that doctors make money off. Lawyers make money off the unstable legal platform. So it's been the case for thousands of years. Even better in recent times as you need a license to work that unstable platform;)
This fault lies with the US. Trade and relations normalization was a Cold War strategy to capitalize on the Dino-soviet split and weaken the communist block.

Effectively the us threw open the gates on the hypothesis that it would be a Cold War win and that China would eventually liberalize. This problem was well understood by the 90s but the war on terror ultimately blocked any US policy shifts.
about as asinine as owning the trademark to “meta”
I agree, it's confusing/misleading/wrong.

Anyway, I interpret is as: "This reaction does not produce Nitric Oxide, so it's not necessary pass the exhaust though a catalytic converter like the ones that car have."
Correct; the player would wear a receiver somewhere on their body which was used to relay what pitch was upcoming. The Astros got caught banging a trashcan, but my high school English teacher (who published several books on baseball as a huge fan of the sport) used to say that baseball is a sport to see who can cheat the most without getting caught. From what I can tell, the league doesn’t look too hard for it either.
I'm guessing they are either testing their approach or doing it just for fun without a real objective.
I ask that question, not because I haven’t been screwed by the banking system, but because everyone I see in the crypto space is out to screw people even harder.

Your comment presupposes that crypto solves the problem of perverse incentives. Really, it just worsens them.
I mean it’s a hyper growth startup. Expect to haul ass.
Um, I'm pretty sure the Beatles would have told you that Miles Davis was a phenomenal genius. Maybe you should do a bit more research.

P.S. I'm not from the USA.
How about the printed money?
The most unstable software that I experienced was the original Mac. I'm sure that it cost me a non-trivial drop in my GPA.

> It's basically one big graph of concepts

True that. I have created a bunch of concept maps for my books in order to show readers this graph. It's really useful to find your way in a new field, to keep track of your progress, and also to look ahead into the the concepts that are coming up. Here are the links to the concept maps:

High school math: https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/math_concepts.p...

Mechanics and calculus: https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/math_and_physic...

Linear algebra: https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/linear_algebra_...

For an even better UI, there is the browsing interface in metacademy.org, which dynamically hides nodes and shows you only the prerequisites needed to learn a concept: https://metacademy.org/graphs/concepts/complex_vectors_and_m... This project is not actively maintained anymore, but it has a wealth of info and it is open source https://github.com/metacademy/metacademy-application so hopefully someone will pick up the torch.
Totally agree! I was mostly saying John Cleese doesn’t have much to worry about being cancelled because the audience that would cancel him doesn’t know he exists.
A bit like writing a not type safe program, which won't get run until there's a disagreement and litigation, and then, the program gets interpreted, by an a bit unpredictable machine (a human) ? :-)

Definitely some if and or else, in the contracts, ... For loops are unusual though, are they not. And while true loops too
This seems more legit. If a user is signing their commits, other users should have access to their public keys in order to verify the signatures.
Well, we are going into details.

I can tell you that what you read are not what I meant. They are actually (to me) implicit extension from the words' face meaning.

And I can assure you that what you mentioned is what I meant as well.
It never fails to boggle my mind. The sheer amount of work, time and money that goes into "freeing" this hardware from the clutches of Apple's walled garden. Truly remarkable, but maybe it's just a first-world problem.
Trivial fact-checking reveals that what Elizondo claims to be, he is not

But also the accent of your Swedish probably pegged you as Swedish, not Finnish. And are you quite sure they actually even understood you ?
Great work!

Is this open source?
An investment analogy can be "Core & Explore" portfolio of skills with pareto distribution (say 80% Core, 20% Explore).

The core skills are those that have stood the test of time over multiple decades (OOP, FP, Operating Systems, Distributed Systems).

The "Explore" portfolio is essentially venture capital like bet on new tools/frameworks/languages.
Most of the venture bets will fail, but few of them will have exponential returns where you will get ahead of the rest of the market or discover early that your side-project/prototype is very valuable in the market (e.g. ML, Cloud services, etc).
Neither is compelling others to behave in a way that you, particularly, think is morally justified, and trying to lobby to have them forced to comply.

Working for a business that doesn’t also happen to be charity isn’t neglecting the needy. Charging rates that fairly reflect the value of your work isn’t malice to those who can’t or don’t want to pay your rates.
In the United States, paying with credit cards often rewards you with 1%-5% of the value you spent, among other things. It adds up to a lot over time, so everyone in the US should always being using credit cards whenever possible to secure those rewards.
I agree. It is my advice to people in similar situations that at the point a relationship with a coworker sours, move to a medium that allows lots of documentation and stay extra civil. Try to invite a third party to all your meetings and move as much communication as possible to messaging or email.

At a previous job I had a product manager that was trying to get me fired because I was refusing to work on some "high priority" projects where we were being dictated the scope and timeline. My team, for some reason, was absolutely craven. They just let me take the heat and then in private conversations thank me for speaking up.

Our PM was new and it was easier to put pressure on us than tell some VP their pet project wasn't getting done. The relationship between both of us went extremely south.

When my PM complained, both of our bosses got sucked into a meeting about me. I was able to respond with plenty of documentation as well as coworker testimony that cleared me of doing anything wrong. Even though I had actual resentment of this person, it was never displayed.

It's clear to me that my PM looked bad by badmouthing me to coworkers, and communicating to me in emotionally aggressive ways. I think OP is making a political mistake by showing emotional outbursts. It makes it too easy to discredit the substance of their argument as simply being a personal issue.
I like rdiff-backup. For me, it's a good middle-ground between rsync and a full backup solution.

The child post literally is just full of emotion and none of rationality.

I never said the author not capable of rationality...
I m not sure i follow. Substack exists for 4 years. Why wouldn't e.g. greenwald break a big story, like he did before? Also what incentive did WSJ have to break the Theranos story? Both WSJ and nytimes had written accolades about Theranos in the past and, of course, certain lies. Do they have some kind of monopoly to the truth?
Or keep sensitive identities in a different location, so they aren't automatically picked up like that. That forces you to specify an identity file when you need one of those, but that small inconvenience is probably not a concern if the identity is that sensitive.
I think you should possibly ask some of those people at those festivals. I can almost guarantee they've all heard of Miles, even if you haven't.
Where else are you seeing this, say what you want about digital signatures but I have not seen this. I guess javascript PKI is a thing though, and that will end badly with soft tokens.
Is it possible to encrypt something with an ssh pubkey and then decrypt with the corresponding privkey? GPG-style?
I haven't heard of it getting closer to production-ready, but I hope articles can cover this so more people can look into it.
Hey there HN!

Hope you enjoy my latest creation. If you are curious, here is some background and history behind it. As a startup founder myself, I often get too busy to diligently read important information related to the various startup stages such as user acquisition, strategy, MVPs, fundraising, marketing, hiring, etc. And yet I still want to become wiser in order to make better decisions and increase my chances of success. Paul Graham's posts and essays really inspired me, so did Seth Godin's among many others. And this was not quite enough, I envisioned a service that would notify me every day of an essential startup tip instead of me having to seek it out myself, or wait until a startup savant releases a new essay. This is how daily startup tips was born; a tool to help you level up your startup wisdom day by day with one daily startup tip from some of the greats!

Hope you find it useful, and would love to hear your feedback on how I can improve it or tune it for you!

Have a great rest of our weekend.

> Perhaps we need to do exactly the opposite, and look at the so-called primitive or pre-industrial cultures to find out how they use ornament to increase the significance and worth of the objects they produce.

I think that ornamentation and aesthetics are often overlooked or minimized in the pursuit of optimization, typically cost reduction. But this article and this line in particular elucidates why we stand to benefit from keeping aesthetics in mind.
To be clear, "every snapshot [is] always a full backup" does not mean that you have to upload your whole terabytes-large drive every time. I guess what you mean is that each backup stands on its own, referring to the chunks it needs. I don't think that's what people mean when they say that each snapshot is a new full backup but rather that this is the definition of it being incremental.
