I run a US-based start-up with a distributed team, but I personally live in London. I'd say a lot of this is true. I don't personally know how Brexit has or hasn't affected talent availability yet, but everything else lines up with my experience. US investors throw money around and European investors are much more traditional.

But I'd like to offer a different perspective on this quote from the article:

> I am not alone in believing Europe has a problem with founders and investors, who lack ambition in comparison to the best of Silicon Valley or Shenzhen. While I have been blessed with my European investors, who are very much the exception to this rule and share my ambition, I have seen this lack of boldness during my various fundraising processes with many other investors.

The US VC market right now is very "frothy", as the VCs say. It's so frothy, you might as well say the froth has churned into butter. The article says that European investors lack "boldness", but one might instead say that US investors are lacking outlets for their ample capital and will throw money at nearly anything right now. I guess it depends on your point of view.

But the truth remains - it's a whole lot easier to raise money in the US right now.

I found that having an offline-first mentality helps with slowing down and actually acquiring a deeper understanding of the topic you're dealing with.

I'm keeping offline docs for most of the tools I use. For example the Postgres manual is easy to browse offline, and offers a lot of insight into how the db engine works, much more than searching for random bits on SO.

These docs are stored locally on my machine as html files. I have an nginx running just to browse them more easily at http://localhost/doc/

Also writing down things as you learn helps tremendously. I use Zim which is a local wiki application. It's easy to use and I have separate notebooks for different things (like work, programming, etc).

This pattern pretty much mirrors what you would do in school.

Personal anecdote - depends on where you are on the technology adoption bell curve. Innovative, a bit "out-there" things seem to be better received in the US.
Amidst many paragraphs across several comments, I twice (and passingly) described the author's jokes as being reminiscent of the "tech bro" character that everyone on this site is familiar with, because that is exactly how they sound. Can't imagine how you interpreted that as an obsession, or why you thought it was ammunition to "take me down a peg." Your trolling needs some work.

The term neo-feutalsim for me as a somebody interest in history is just so incredibly dumb. It plays on the absolute non-understanding of what feudalism was just to play on the association 'feudalism' bad therefore 'Neo-feudalism' bad.

There are plenty of places where you could get a cheap house, that's just not where people would want to live most of the time.

And we know pretty well what mechanism drive the insane prices in city properties. Its not that big a mystery and certainty not to the point where we should claim our modern economy is 'neo-feudalsim'.

I'm slightly confused. Is the traditional way not the stable way to go about things instead of how it is done in the US? These seem more like positives than negatives to me.
Love to see this here, a very well researched video!

It was an awesome scene, I used to put out jungle and trip hop tracks on Mono211/Monotonik/Voodoo and a couple of other mod labels back in the day.

Everything was free, in an era where studio time and studio equipment was really expensive it was mind-blowing to be able to do it with just a PC, all in software. Lots of friendly competition between artists and the file format was such that you could open a mod and see exactly how it was put together, and reuse the samples if you wanted to. Gave birth to many people's careers in music and software!

It's not based on any Windows binary code, or the project would be forever poisoned with respect to copyright. They actively prevent anyone who has seen the Windows source code from working on the project.
The choice being stuck with what a specific Windows version has available and using OS APIs directly instead of C ones, e.g. ZeroMemory() instead of memset(), as the C runtime library isn't part of the OS.

I suggest flutter, opting flutter, a revolutionary web stack for the cross-platform development industry. Its major components include Dart, the Flutter engine, Foundation Library, and design-specific widgets.

A single codebase is used to create applications for Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, Web, and Linux with Flutter. It lets you build user interfaces, add new features, and fix bugs without sacrificing speed.

Converting biomass into human biomass isn’t natural?

Humans are just as natural as any other species. Beavers build damns that flood rivers and alter the ecosystem and human build nuclear reactors that alter the ecosystem.

It’s only human judgement that makes that different.

You think beavers weep over all the ecosystem they kill when they flood a river?
let me clarify it with the specific complication I've always encountered. You always need a function to parse raw input, a dictionary of strings, to the typed model object, or fail, then there should be a function to serialize the model back to the input attributes. You owing these 2 functions make 2 ways binding useless.
This is an inherent limitation of the way OSs are built. Linux, Windows, macOS are all like this. macOS is currently the furthest ahead in this since they're sharing code with iOS, but it's still not where it should be.

The Linux kernel is not at a point of allowing this kind of fine grained sandboxing or mocking of APIs. I'm guessing because it's a significant undertaking. I'm sure as more features become available in the Kernel w.r.t. sandboxing Snap and Flatpak will definitely utilise them.

You may not have encountered another use-case. This is not only about design-time versus run-time. But a large part about "where to have business-logic".

Say simple use-case where you have web/android/ios clients, which show an invoice after the payment is processed (and not cancelled, pending, halted, flagged-for-terrorist-double-check, or whatever banks come up with tomorrow).

You either have one service determining "there is an invoice" or "there is no invoice", or you have all your web/andoid/ios clients implement this logic and have to keep it in sync. Not only is this flakey, it introduces very tight coupling to fields and their values. I've seen abominations such as `status == "pending" || status == "PENDING" || status == "PendingValidation" && validation == false`, (edit) repeated in every client (and obviously slightly different).

Moving this to a single point of truth comes with a lot of benefits.

But when you don't ever have such business-logic, by all means, skip all the indirection and just render whatever comes back, based on a swagger doc you read for version x.y.
Especially when they prioritize technological purity over commercial success. Okay irony aside, you kick (most of) them out and hire new folks.

As these are secret military tech capabilities, you'll probably find little proof. But if you consider for a moment what a mere corporation is capable of (and in fact government mandated to backdoor), surely the military is capable of (and again mandated to) much much more?

RDF, JSON-LD and other "structured" formats try to allow clients to gain a certain understanding of what the data means... it's easy to understand that when you look at HTML's semantic tags [1], which let the browser and other clients know, e.g. what's the "main" section and what's just an "aside"... and structured data provided by RDF, Microdata [2] and JSON-LD (which were all the rage in the never-realized Web 2.0), which you can embed in the HTML itself in order to provide lots of metadata information to the client about the data in your web page.

Today, these are actually used by, for example, search engines [3] to display data in a structured manner on searches!

Unfortunately, I don't know of many other "creative" usages of this metadata, but I imagine there could be many... HATEOAS is IMHO still ahead of our time... I do expect that, at some point, it will be really beneficial to have clients that can have a good understanding of the information is shows to users, and one day it will suddently became the next big thing (again).

To be honest, your response ( 1st paragraph) seems a standard crypto marketing piece without going into details and far from reality what customers would want.

I already bought content online, eg. On Envato and i received licenses too.

You should point the finger at package managers. They never really addressed needs outside of system administration (to be fair, that's the problem they were trying to solve). Scripting languages came up with their own package system because package managers didn't fit their needs, I often found myself building from source and installing into my homedir because package managers wouldn't accommodate, industries (like the one I work in) came up with their own package management outside of the OS.

Nix/Guix seems like the only one that's trying something different enough to address some of those other use-cases, but the cat's out of the bag for most people.

Critically, the disassembly and spec should be done by one person, and the implementation by another.

> they would have to find the profit maximizing price and quantity

You're only concerned about profits for the shareholders, which i explicitly don't care about (or rather, i care against). I'm interested in the interests of the people, which is structurally at odds with the profits of the 1%.

> By definition this means that single product will have too many features and too expensive for some people

Nope, as someone else pointed out, if there were consumer protection regulations against such practices, you'd just have the best camera for the cheapest price. Because i strongly doubt the manufacturer would sell any model at a loss, which would anyway be illegal in certain jurisdiction (eg. France) as part of anti-monopoly regulations.

> So instead they make multiple products with different functionality so that people can decide.

People empower people. Corporations empower shareholders. Our class interests are not aligned (in fact, they are opposite). It's very rare (if possible at all) to see a private corporation doing something to empower people, except maybe for worker-operated coops (which are not driven by shareholders' profits but by their passion or the interests of their users).
> In HATEOAS, the client doesn't care at all about whether the page contains a "status". It displays the hypermedia the way it is given without knowing the semantics at all - that's what makes it de-coupled from the server. It only knows the semantics of the hypermedia, in this case HTML.

This is not exactly what the REST thesis advocates for. You can absolutely create a true REST client for something much more specialized and narrow purpose than HTML. The main point of REST is that your client and server should both understand the media type, and then be developed independently to have all the semantics of that media type.

HTML is not a special media type in this sense. It just happens that it's an extremely broad format, broad enough to encompass almost the entirety of the web. But not all REST APIs need to be this broad: you can create specialized REST APIs for specialized media types.

In principle, the definition of a true REST API would be: can you create a a fully conforming client for the REST API by just reading and implementing the definition of the media type + using the HTTP verbs? If yes, then the API is truly REST like. If you need any other out-of-band information, then it's not. Note that knowing URLs is already out of band information.
Since Windows 3.0 it has only been the case when using OS APIs, without depending on C runtime library, C++ runtime library and respective frameworks, COM or DLLs from other SDK or third parties, xcopy installs and installers exist for a reason.

True, but if I would need a secret as well, I don't see the benefit aside from not needing to remember a username. Some might like that for convenience, but I would always prefer memory in that case.

I think the current crusade against passwords is primarily motivated by different providers to advertise their ID schemes. Even needing a cert for something like Github is too much for me. I have no high profile repos and it might be reasonable in those cases, but I hope MS doesn't repeat the mistakes they made with their API access. The logistics of authentication is far too complex.

Aside from that I have seen people handling their keys that make you wish they would just use a password and cert logistics isn't trivial at all. No, you should not copy your key to our corporate file server... This is just the nerd way of gluing your password under your keyboard.
Bare bones software (in the original sense of the term) interfaces directly with the hardware without abstracting it via an operating system. Much like an operating system would need to do in order to provide that abstraction (albeit you might not need to worry about paging, kernel rings etc with bare bones software).

You see this in plenty of domains: firmware, embedded systems, uEFI, bootloaders, etc.

This used to be the norm too. Old 8-bit personal computers like Commodores didn't run an OS, instead they'd have BASIC run as firmware (though you could get CP/M, GEM and others for a lot of the later generations of 8-bit micros).

You can also get modern software that runs bare metal without an OS. eg this game: https://github.com/adventurerok/Bare-metal-Space-Invaders-Cl...
