The nice thing is it's not an especially crowded space. There are a handful of treat mix products out there, and most are for baked treats (which we also sell, but definitely not at the level of the frozen stuff).

On the frozen treat front, the biggest one is a Purina product called Frosty Paws, and I think my stuff is an easy sell against that for a few reasons. First, it's made with all sorts of unpronounceable ingredients, where my stuff is made with whole, high-quality ingredients (freeze dried meat, egg powder, whole wheat flour, etc.). Their form factor is also bigger - it basically comes in a cardboard cup that you'd get a scoop of ice cream in, which is big for a dog, compared to my bite-sized treats. Theirs is more of a birthday treat, where mine can be given regularly.
Yes, the rest is just consulting (spoken with love as I am one)
This is one where I don't see the advantages outweighing the disadvantages. Python is, IMO, a moderately better language than JavaScript, but you don't get the Python ecosystem, and you aren't running the same code you wrote, so you won't get nice stack traces or even useful error messages. You'll be writing JavaScript in Python, using JavaScript libraries, but all the references are written in JavaScript. It's a lot of mess just to avoid writing JavaScript, which contains a pretty decent language at this point.
It's really bad if you don't use uBlock Origin, that's for sure. The amount of ad
and sponsored results has gotten really bad in recent years for a lot of queries.
>>twitter is used as a key communication channel for politicians, public officials, business executives, journalists, academics etc. all over the world

I think this is over stated, Twitter is used to amplify, or bring attention to some announcment, event, or other communication but twitter itself is not the communication channel, it simply links to the communication channel which is often another platform (youtube as an example) or a website, or some other communication type.

Twitter is advertising, be it paid ads, or the "politicians, public officials, business executives, journalists, academics " advertising their own work directing people off twitter to consume more of that work

Personally I have found very little value and very little substantive communications coming out of twitter, in fact the only time I even visit twitter it is look at meme accounts not to find actual information or news
> This overlooks the traditional and perhaps now unpopular reason to start a company: making money by selling something useful.

Was Giphy even set up to be a business? It's just a database of gifs converted to video, for use in social media posts or Slack channels. Who would ever pay for that, besides a social media behemoth?
Cartels would still exist.
Snowhaze came out on top of an iOS browser comparison I recently read [0], so I decided to give it a shot. It is far and beyond the privacy features of most other mobile iOS browsers.

In addition to sandboxed tabs, reasonably secure defaults, and robust content blocking built-in, it also offers some interesting features like user-agent randomization, tab masking, and URL tracking depersonalization.

I'm completely unaffiliated with Snowhaze, just sharing a recent discovery with HN.

Magit is the most recommended one. But it comes with an Emacs dependency.
I dont have any links but I'd be willing to help you.
Nice to have a new offering for edge compute/streams! It would be useful to see how this compares with the different edge compute alternatives (particularly Cloudflare Workers/Durable Objects) in terms of TCP Connection Time, Time To First Byte, Time To Last Byte, etc.
That was one of the PRs that was to be merged before opening up, yes. I merged it one minute before you made your comment :) https://github.com/oxidecomputer/hubris/pull/270

My Lesson in Market Efficiency
Folks, I wanted to share my experience during the financial crisis...I was a bond strategist at a major investment bank in London. I almost lost a tonne of money...by some insane luck I just escaped with a lesson in market efficiency.
A very significant part of the pool of interesting projects in "my" market is only available under framework agreements for which solo consultants will not be considered (but Kvadrat will). If I were completely solo, I would have to bid for such projects through brokers who would happily charge me between 5% and 20% without really giving me anything back besides acting as gatekeepers.

Instead, all my cold calling, contract negotiations, billing and accounts receivable — things I'm not good at and don't enjoy doing — get taken care of. I'm happy to pay for that. The "luxury" of "business friends" is included.
True, it's strong, but not unreasoned — he was describing his attitude as a student who knew at the time only of Feynman's reputation, having not yet had many direct human interactions with the "legendary physicist".

Sad that he's gone so those interactions are no longer possible in this world. It's wonderful to read how an obviously brilliant scientist in his own right treasured those times with Feynman, and how often we read such accounts here on HN.
We see seat-based pricing convenient for customers that want to control and adapt the product to their team size and budget. Per-seat pricing is simple to structure and easy to understand by customers as it's a standard in SaaS nowadays.

We do offer flat fee options for bigger teams and companies that are adopting DailyBot as an organization-wide solution, it's not currently automated and we do it case by case.

It's a great question, pricing is something we continue learning about and improving over time.
It's a bit like MobX but instead of re-running full components or subtrees it contains the updates granularly. Picture if your renderer was just MobX Autoruns wrapping specific DOM updates as depended upon. In so because the reduced of need for diffing and the compiler that transforms the JSX to this you can author components in a normal way yet get incredible performance.
CompuServe. That's a name I forgot I used to know so well!
Not only that, we just need one that works the way Google used to work. You know, something like the old algorithm that made Google famous and made competitors obsolete.
I think most accusations of intent are extrapolations of actions, which one side makes and the other side may not see the same way.

> engage in acquisition talks with the intent to gather confidential information, not the intent to acquire.

Going back to the dating analogy, if I go on 5 dates with someone and then we don't go on any more dates, that person may assume I had no intention to pursue a long-term relationship with them and was just using them, maybe for sex or company or whatever. However, perhaps I was trying to determine whether I could make a long-term relationship work—maybe I initially didn't think it would work but only went on the next 4 dates because I really really wanted it to work.

All I'm saying is that people can glean different intentions from the same action and it can be really hard to know whether our actions have caused pain to people.

> that implies they had least cheated in some cases, because otherwise they could simply deny that they ever cheated.

Again, the tricky part is Stripe may _think_ they have cheated in one case but in that case, the other person may not have even seen it as cheating. Eg, maybe I'm in an exclusive relationship with someone and my ex comes into town and we get lunch. I feel tremendously guilty for doing it and confess and apologize to my current partner. And the my current partner looks confused and laughs saying they're grateful I went to hang out with my ex. A different partner could split the relationship with me immediately and say I'm evil for having that lunch.

To one side it may seem _obvious_ that a transgression was committed and to the other side, it may be _oblivious_.
Funny. I was fascinated in the same way by the crystal (germanium diode) radio kit I built as a kid but I wish now I'd built one of the "oatmeal box" more-or-less-from-scratch radios. It's probably easier than ever to do that - you can get galena off ebay.
The "people also searched for" box is not just useless, but also very much messing with usability for me. Every time I click on a link, go back, then trying to click on the next link, this box shows up and I accidentally click on that (because it shows up with a little delay and an animation).

This filter takes care of that box completely:

www.google.com##.exp-outline
www.google.com##[style="display: block; opacity: 1;"]
www.google.com##[data-hveid]>div:style(height: auto !important)
The C=128 had a full blown C=64 compatibility mode. It was a market failure however.
Why not. I am not sure if I would have both the level and the time though.
I have a feeling Pinterest results replaced the original pictures in results.

They must have been pinned from somewhere, and similar image search won't show me where.
Thanks again, yes. It seems I cannot edit or repost, I will try tomorrow again.
They had some advertising thing, and getting paid by social media behemoths for integrations is what now gets them into trouble in a way?
It's funny, I've noticed something similar but it varies on the looks of the beard, and isn't a binary beard/no-beard situation. If I have it too short, people seem intimidated, if I have it longer and less trimmed, people seem a bit more fearful rather than intimidated. If I have it sort of medium length, but in a nice shape, people are probably the friendliest. If I have a really long, like wizard beard, then a different set of humanity is more friendly.
Youtube is printing money right now as traffic/computers are cheap which was not the case 10 years ago. It's a very successful (multi $B profit) business right now. They reinvest some profits into original content but it's probably peanuts compared to overall profits.
I follow SpaceX developments quite closely and this animation is fairly on the target as far as the current understanding of the entire stack goes. Keep in mind that SpaceX is building Starship in the open and the entire test and assembly site is filmed 24/7 by enthusiast from numerous vantage points, allowing them to learn quite a bit about how it'll all come together.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that the booster and the ship stacked makes this the tallest rocket ever at 395 feet tall (120 m), even taller than Saturn V. It's 9 meters in diameter. This thing is gi-gan-tic and it's being caught mid-air!

Amazing job by C-bass for the quality animation.
Can we please just get the ECMAScript body to backport some of these common features into the core language itself? I can't keep up with all the javascript frameworks of the day :( By the time I finish one feature, ten new frameworks have popped up. I can no longer tell the difference between innovation and anarchy.
Even if you use it, "organic" results seem to be just links to e-commerce websites.
That’s if you have solid evidence that smoking harms you.
You wouldn't need to use Node if you're running it locally. It could be in any language, and in my experience, Node is in the tail for being bad about requiring specific versions. If you write it in Go, for instance, you don't have those problems.
It feels like the algorithm (combined with the SEO/marketing industry) has effectively nuked discussions from organic results.

Based on the search box suggestions I get, it seems many people work around this by appending reddit to their searches. If I search for "warmest winter coat" it's a bunch of untrustworthy content marketing until you try something like "warmest winter coat reddit"

Unfortunately I prefer to avoid reddit (which also has a fair amount of astroturfing), but I haven't found a good alternative. I severely miss Google's old "discussions" (or was it forums?) filter.
That's what I do too, but one should be aware that marketers are gaming reddit.

I recently tried looking in the Buy It For Life subreddit for a specific type of product, and it appeared to me that one company was taking advantage of that sub to promote their product.
I think it's easy to overlook that it isn't enough that there is some benefit to changing things around, it needs to be a significant benefit to outweigh the hassle.

Dvorak probably is the better keyboard layout compared to QWERTY, but by a fairly small degree that doesn't even materialize for most typists. If it made the average person type twice as fast, nobody would be using QWERTY.

Another example is NEMA plugs. Compared to Schuko, their safety features are quite lackluster, but the cost of changing the power plug standard is extremely high and safety features of NEMA are probably good enough.
Did Google and FB have to sell to stake to billions of users and millions of SMBs? no!
Right, but people are not paying $4 to read this. At least 99% of the market would drop off. I literally just log on to see what hilarious things papa elon tweet, without it I would just... do something better with my time.
I will play devil for lulz:

>My physical appearance should have nothing to do with my hireabilty

but actually why?

you know - if you have two equally skilled people...

and one of them has tattoos on 90% of his/her body and your company works for banking industry, then is it pros or con?
This policy almost seems to be put in place as a response to everyone posting images of ghislaine maxwell with various politicians...
Amazing input.
There were ads but content wasn’t manipulated algorithmically for engagement and “eyeballs” as mr Grove put it or outrage as we see today. Moreover the monetization was by the website so the content creator wasn’t optimizing for engagement themselves.

With most services having some kind of API “journalists” set triggers or scour for particular things so they can write about something scandalous two people said on some service somewhere so they can present it as zeitgeist.
Yeah. From all I know FPGA pricing is very weird in that prices for singles are way worse than if you buy a lot, even more so than for other chips.
Solid's diff algorithm generally is faster(or atleast very comparable) than Mithril's. We test very well in list benchmarks like: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht.... We are also fast at node creation using pre-compilation to prepare the nodes in a way that can be created more efficiently.
They're not mutually exclusive, but they're orthogonal. They're different patterns that happen to integrate with each other. Event Sourcing is about durable state stored and read as event, Event Streaming is about moving events from one place to another.

Event stores can integrate with the streaming platforms, to publish events and move them forward. Most of them have even built-in implementation of the Outbox Pattern that allows to publish events. They're usually called subscriptions. They can be used to build read models or triggers other flows, or route events to streaming platforms.

The essential point is that for read models, you don't expect to have the same guarantees as for write models. It's fine to be facing idempotency, even out of order, as read models shouldn't be used (in general) for business logic validation. In Event Streaming, or models are stale. In Event Sourcing, write model is not stale, you can be sure that you're making a decision on the current state. Thus, most of the points mentioned in the article, are just from struggles to use event streaming solution as tools for storing events. Which is not the issue of Event Sourcing or event stores per se, but using the wrong tool for the job.
Are there recruiting agencies that people recommend? I'm having a hard time finding a new gig.
I think what happened when china banned Bitcoin is instructive to what would happen if a nation attempted to increase the energy prices for mining in it's borders - much of it moved to the next cheapest option, like coal plants in Mongolia, however being banned in China did decrease the price and use overall. Which is basically my point, you would be playing wack-a-mole with policy across the whole world trying to work on it from the supply side and energy prices, it will just keep moving to the most enviromental-legislation-lagging internet connected place. However, legislating the interfaces between your country and the network do drop the overall use and demand for mining effectively.
The hard part of what Google does is spam and abuse prevention. If you only indexed known-good sources I think the hard part would basically be done. Providing good search results, rich queries, sentiment analysis etc is all old hat by now.
How can I be a paid shill?

I am not giving any facts or creating impression I know any facts.

I am just discussing the general process of what is and what is not ok to post online anonymously.
I wrote the blog post you cited (thanks!) but I disagree with both statements: that is not what is meant in the article.

1. I don't think Event Sourcing sucks - I think we are lacking accessible technology for supporting it.
2. For most difficulties encountered in Event Sourcing, I would rather blame distribution taken to the extreme.
> And then you realise you don't necessarily need a database any more

This is precisely where we want to be.

We are already exceptionally minimal when it comes to database usage - SQLite is all we use today. If we are in a place where 100% of the business facts go to an immutable/append-only log, we can handle the entire persistence mechanism with a simple filestream write command. Not having to worry about mutating prior data solves a large portion of database engine problems automagically.
dont know if twitter charges $$ to people with large number of followers.
that would be a good way to make money.
Scaling the Practice of Architecture, Conversationally
That book was amazing. The Atari Assembler cartridge and magazines completed the picture of what you could do with the Atari 8-bit. I know there was another book I loved, but I cannot remember its name. I have them in a storage garage along with my 400 and 130XE.

I had friends who had the Action language cartridge but I never got to play with that one. Apparently there was information there about the machines internals.
Assisted suicide is not allowed in Germany. This refers to a club named "Sterbehilfe" and their rules for club meetings. The club consists of terminally ill people who want assisted suicide to be legal in Germany.

tl;dr: not true
This sounds like a great hack!
Personally we faced a kind of cold start problem with such a diary. So what we’re trying now with Kitchenful is to recommend new recipes that are similar to a few favorite dishes of our users, which we ask about in the onboarding process.

We like the idea of a “Future” list and are already thinking about a bookmarking / recipe import feature. How do you save future ideas in your app? (urls?)
How about a show like they have on HGTV where you have 2 candidate leads and a team. They are given a problem to solve or something specific that needs to be built, and each lead candidate has to develop a plan and then present it to the customer. This includes costing and novel approaches.

The customer chooses the lead who presented what they feel is the best solution.

The next quarter of the show is montages of the team building it, and the final quarter is the presentation of the results and customer response.

I think web sites or apps would be good for this type of show, since they have a visual element. People watching the show get a feel for the whole cycle, including project management.
If you have some business logic that you want to run on both the front-end (maybe for quick local validation) and the back-end (for definitive validation) then this is useful over possibly rewriting you Python into JavaScript.
> The Raspberry Pi Foundation, formed in 2009, is a registered charity with a goal of putting “the power of computing and digital making into the hands of people all over the world.” The famous eponymous SBC was designed to be affordable and champion programming in schools, hoping to repeat the home computer boom of the 1980s. Raspberry Pi Trading Ltd is a wholly-owned subsidiary responsible for the engineering and trading operations of the foundation.

Why even is there a trading company? Seems random. Why not the Raspberry Pi Coffee Growers Association, or the Raspberry Pi Law Firm?
A cool way of demonstrating features that are more or less represented by their respective GUI widgets could be by dogfooding the actual React components you use in production (just pass fake demo data in props/context). That said, demonstrating them in action is a bit trickier, since there’s no ready-made solution that could animate a virtual mouse cursor and simulate pointer events in accord.
Did you read my article that I linked, or my initial explanation of the Event Sourcing flow?
Sure, but gender-neutral pronouns aren't special. True, English hasn't recently had one. Now, it seems, it does. Why is that a big deal? Just because trendy people think it's a good idea?

Well, I'm not super trendy and on balance I'm in favour of it.

But neither of our views will carry much weight in the long run. It's not up to us.

Also, I have to say, there's a lot of stuff that used to be treated as "obvious fact" that was hugely prejudiced.
