Postmortem on My Failed Startup
I’m also just realizing that all my subscriptions are inaccessible since my channel is cut off so I will have to re-create that list with a new account now. Sigh. That’s probably the worst part is finding and recreating my subscription list.
I’d love to read a longform blog post about that. Anything that fits into a tweet has already been said a bunch of times already, and hasn’t made a compelling case that there’s a problem here.

I’m pretty sure they only takedown exploit code, not scanner code, but people often choose not to distinguish those conceptually, which makes it quite difficult to have a discussion about it.

Also, see top reply on this post, which references a dual-use policy: https://twitter.com/_mph4/status/1470343429599211528

Portland isn't any better. I recommend going to a centrist or even Red state. Arizona is great.

> In 2017 Portland ranked third. Now it has dropped to 66th out of 80.

I live just west of Minneapolis with my wife in a house that's been in my family for generations.

I don't want to leave but the continuous stream of car jackings, home invasions, petty theft and seemingly random acts of violence have me rethinking this.

Calls to defund the police sound pretty tone deaf when your elderly neighbor is assaulted in their own home and robbed.
I think the only real way to get their attention is to convince someone sufficiently tech famous to tweet that you're getting a shit deal from YouTube. Only then will a real person step in.

> The only downside of shell scripting is....

The only downside? Let's add that no major *NIX shell that I'm aware of has any good way to modularize code while enforcing encapsulation of state.

At my previous job, we had a rule that any shell script longer than about a page of code had to be replaced with a Python script ASAP. That was a good rule, IMO, because once you've exceeded a certain size, a shell script starts getting brittle and hard to work with. I don't know if 1 page of code is the threshold size or not, but it seems like as good a cutoff as any.
And some of us in the burbs wouldn’t mind moving down there too for the same reasons.
I work on energy systems modelling and while there is, of course, an element of existing players wanting to find a way for their assets to survive, the reality is that every single decision maker who is actually involved in this knows the score on the relative merits of CCS derived H2 vs electrolysis derived.
Recall that had the pandemic stimulus been sent directly to Americans it would have put over $10k into every living American’s bank account.

Instead, most of it went to propping up the system that benefits everyone a little bit, but benefits the very wealthy a lottttttt.

The solution is clearly to increase direct payment amounts to get better micro-voting about where value lies in the economy, and to siphon the net amount accumulating to the very wealthy with progressive taxes and a fully funded IRS that can utilize high tech to track law-skirting financial moves.

But of course this won’t happen, the democrats are already fighting to lower taxes for the rich who live on the coasts.

Oh well. These valuations driven by a small percentage of Americans who own all the stocks are mostly a sign that the wealthy who got a lot of money don’t know what to spend it on (that’s why it’s better to pay Americans directly… on average).
So the key for you was you had already done "market research" in the sense you new there was a need for this product and how to reach the communities that needed it.

Without searching for a timeline of Safari development, I recall that Safari has had the option to block 3rd-party cookies for a number of years. Last year Safari started blocking those cookies by default:

https://www.pcmag.com/news/safari-now-blocks-all-third-party...

And now that I look, there is no longer an option in Safari Preferences that mentions anything about 3rd-party cookies. It's either "all cookies", or "no cookies".
By “object approach” I just meant “making a bunch of objects with the same shape”. I’ve read that V8 can optimize these into flat structs.

Is immutability part of the proposed standard? And if so, what’s the benefit over using Object.freeze?
Of course. Yet, that is what is happening.
That makes sense. There is low evidence that having this characteristic affects the assimilation. Okay, colour me convinced.

How is social media an alternative to RSS? There’s no guarantee users will actually see what you post.

I think the big problem with RSS is that non-technical users didn’t use it. I see this as a marketing failure - browser support was never great and it was too hidden / non-obvious as a feature.
looks good to me!
The employees are no safer at home than at work.

Tornados like this one are a statistical risk you take by living in that part of the planet. We can't engineer practical structures that can survive them. The only mitigation is to live somewhere that doesn't have severe tornados.

Why do you automatically assume that kids are miserable in the suburbs? My kids rather like running around in our backyard, use our pool everyday in the summer, and having tons of friends on the block.

At the same time, I can't imagine that they would enjoy living in 2 bedroom apartment, having no yard to play in, etc.

This disdain for suburbs is quite tacky and out of touch. It's okay to think differently. I'm glad you enjoy living in the city! Luckily, this country is big and there's enough space for all of us!
Indeed. Eventually the planet will run out of CO2 and life on Earth will almost completely disappear. Eventually plate tectonics will stop as well due to the core of the planet cooling. Eventually the Sun will go red giant and the Earth will really die then. Eventually we'll reach the heat death of the universe.

A gaussian with a really long tail!

We're doomed even if we go inter-planetary -- even if we spread through the galaxy! But the timescales are pretty large, and before then we can have a pretty long (in human scales) and good time.
Not interested in this book, but maybe you find my opinion of any value:

Your website comes off as hustle to get money without content:

* The first section where you describe your product, you avoid all that the product is, making me think you don't actually have content which you want to show off(the book image is digital with no mention of it being an ebook, the description is about me and tehnologies, no preview, no list of concrete things I learn)

* In the next section you continue marketing a dream instead of the actual content, then you sell reviews, a story and others' opinion. Again, I conclude that you don't want me to form my own opinion of potentially bad content.

* "What I'll get" is meta content, things I should see after being sold the content. At that point I clicked off the website thinking it's a scam.

Before commenting this I went one more time to make sure I didn't miss anything and discovered that you actually do have chapters content and preview, just past the point where I clicked off.
I'm suspicious of video #4 being the reason.

There is a wave of people copying other people's music, claiming as their own and then sending claims to the original video.

Maybe since your channel is small, Youtube decided to just ban. I've seen it happened with people who tried to pirate music more than once.

I don't post any music at all on Youtube. It all goes trough a third-party service that posts on my behalf and on streaming services.

I've been thinking about what gives big cities their edge. Why some even become global hubs for particular industries. Two reasons are clearer to me now than they were in the past:

- Lifestyle advantages of living amongst specialists: people can outsource various chores/tasks/jobs/errands to local specialists who can complete them much more efficiently. For instance imagine if your village doesn't have a plumber and you have to spend much of your own time fixing pipes, rather than focussing on activities where you have comparative advantage.
- Poaching. Modern companies struggle to maintain a competitive advantage since their employees can leave and join their competitors. But key employees will usually have roots in a particular place, so competitors can only hope to lure them away if they co-locate their offices in the same city. So almost all of them do.

That said, the internet has introduced some counter-effects, for instance externalizing specialist knowledge on public websites, and enabling remote working.
I think you're exactly right about this!

But just to provide some insight (which you probably already have) into the mind of a different kind of person: I can both recognize the truth that marketing is critically and synergistically important, and also have just a deep seated allergy to it. I have concluded that being a freelance / independent developer or even a very early stage startup developer is not a great fit for me for this reason. I thrive more when there is lots of work to do that is not deeply attached to marketing a new product.

Many people who have kaiser hate it but after I understood the what and why of Kaiser I concluded its model was far better than the alternatives.
I sure am. I live in San Jose (which resides in the Bay Area). Here’s why I am leaving.

- $2,700 per month for a 500 sq/ft apartment.

- Homeless people everywhere the moment I step foot out of my apartment.

- Smells like urine on many sidewalks.

- Literally half of the buildings are vacant or abandoned (in downtown).

- Human feces on sidewalks and entrance to buildings.

- Political and ideological homogeny. Keep your head low if you aren’t progressive.

- We’ve reached $4.99 per gallon for gasoline.

- I’ve experienced two car break-ins.

- Trash everywhere.

- High taxes.

- Crummy roads.

I’m paying a lot of money to live here, but for what? My standard of living is low. I’m leaving for Texas or Florida. Hopefully either of these two states provide me something better.
I hate to say it but they are largely correct. The technology isn't obsolete but it is very unknown outside of podcasting, but even these day most people just get their podcasts relayed through a big service that may not even let you subscribe via URL.

I run an RSS-centered service and approximately 0 of my non-tech friends know what RSS is. They get their news from the YouTube, Facebook, Instagram... homepages where the algorithm picks some stuff that they want you to see. When I explain that it is easy to curate what you follow with no ads, no raking and no "algorithm" they are generally on board and are happy to subscribe to some comics, YouTube channels and maybe a web comic or two. But the awareness is basically zero.

I think the following things would help get RSS into the spotlight:

1. Highlight that Google News uses RSS. https://support.google.com/news/publisher-center/answer/9545...

2. We need to get "Subscribe" buttons back into browsers. Right now you need an extension to detect sites that have feeds. Not only is that a huge step for most users but the most popular mobile browsers don't support extensions. (And even Firefox for Android only supports a whitelist on stable right now) IIRC Chrome on Android is experimenting with a very polished-over version, so it will be interesting if this gains traction and helps convince sites to maintain their feeds.

3. We need awareness. A lot of people are being made aware of the downsides of big services recommending them content, but very few are aware of the alternatives. Just helping out a few friends who are interesting in taking more control over their news can be a good start. And remember that it isn't all-or-nothing. I subscribe to a lot of feeds but still browse Hacker News and Reddit. I don't think I need to completely remove the algorithm, but I like to get most of my news "reliably" then when I run out I go into "discovery mode".

That being said it is a huge uphill battle and right now it looks like things are going the other way. I'm not hugely active in this "fight" but it is good to support when you can.
The San Francisco Chronicle has done some analyses of the Bay Area exodus, and the majority are not moving to Texas but instead to places like San Joaquin and Madera county (counties that border the Bay Area). People want the bigger house, but they also want to be able to visit their friends and family.
How do those smaller downtowns thrive? The few I know usually have rich populations that do not mind spending more than what Costco/Target/Walmart/big grocery stores sell at.

All it takes is the big box stores to setup camp 10 minutes outside of town and almost everyone with a car will opt to save money and shop there.
It also requires the original to be shared with the same license. That's what ensures that the software and its evolutions remain a digital commons

Ok but in practice what can you do on console that you can’t do on pc?
I actually think there are many resources online, but nothing that takes you from the beginning to the end. So unless you know what to search for, you won't find it.

This is especially true for security. How do you know things are secure once your deployment works?
This might just be paranoia but a couple of the early comments on this thread feel very astro-turfy. For example:

https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=vich (hasn't commented since aug 2020)

https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=vivty is slightly sketchy as well but not super cut and dry

The flight (to Japan) wasn't actually banned, it just became unprofitable to run that day. But flights are a time-sensitive thing! Imagine if you ordered a pizza and the restaurant called you back and said it wasn't convenient that night because of car trouble, but they'd keep your money and in a few months when it made more sense they'd deliver your pizza. That's ridiculous and you'd have a right to demand your money back.
I've just pushed some changes. You can now re-organize:

Why I no longer use the MIT license for new projects
To some extent, yes, but as I understand it, the effort and expenditure needed to produce hydrogen purely by electrolysis (so-called "green hydrogen") is fairly significant—and, perhaps more importantly, is a separate expenditure from that required to green our electrical grid, which is an effort that's already underway in many places and more or less guaranteed to eventually complete, barring further shenanigans on the part of the fossil fuel industry.
Thanks.
Are there any continuously running fans when it's not actively working ? Or something else that makes a noise ?

I got an HP IP KVM switch a while ago. When it's on, it makes as much noise as a bunch of servers or a blade center. Got some fans for retrofit...
Seem being the key word. The messaging is poor, the idea has quite a bit of merit.
I don't think it's clear cut that it should be out of band 100% of the time. I think there are use cases where inline is useful.

Cycles are definitely an issue, I am not sure there is even way to work around that, except to pull the cycles apart (which may not always be possible but is usually not a bad programming practice when it is). However at the library level, libraries tend not to circularly import each other. If it's being done at the inside a project level the build tool would be generating it so dealing with the module graph being invalidated may not be a hassle (or even necessarily a bad thing), in that case it could modify the files or it could be generating a lock file / import map (which I agree has benefits at that level of not forcing every source to be transpiled, but some of that probably still has to happen for module reloading e.g. appended search parameters to the module path for cache invalidation / module reloading during development like vite.js does for example, and realistically given the nature of the ecosystem some transpilation is going to have to happen either because of .ts or just because of browser differences).

For a top-level deps.ts / dep.js file pattern there probably won't be any cycles. That pattern is to declare a root deps.js file for your project that locks things down and re-exports from third party libraries a use the exports from that as the basis for other imports. For this pattern I think SRI would be extremely helpful and add enough benefit to justify it (even though SRI may not be used in the cases you listed).

Also for smaller projects or main modules having the SRI hash inline is really helpful.
Why aren't you complaining about OpenSSH and Ubuntu costing $0, then?

It's not that people are unwilling to do free labor. It's that people, Apple principally among them, are rent-seeking.
It would be cheaper to pay someone like CAE to build a modern hardware space-shuttle simulator if you wanted rides. Then it would be easy to replace parts, since they actively maintain hundreds of aircraft simulators.

One of the most important tools of science is peer review. I don't see how could the people who choose to abandon it (usually because they can't satisfy it) have better insights about reality.

Not to mention other tools they don't have access to like ability to conduct work that requires multi-year effort of teams of people or necessitates the use of top of the line equipment.

Personally I prefer to listen to what scientists with large budgets and a lot to loose if what they are saying turns out to be crap.

Pseudonymous rouge loner that has nothing to loose doesn't instill in me great faith about his capabilities, honesty of his process and his findings.
