"because general public is way more angry about potential misinformation than people having their normal posts taken down"

It may feel that way from inside Facebook, headquartered in a place so left wing it's basically decriminalized theft. It doesn't look that way from many other parts of the world, where many people believe that "misinformation" is a dystopian propaganda term meaning any statement unacceptable to the hard left, that "fact checking" is a joke and that all kinds of important and useful information is being censored by tech firms.
Kernighan's law is fun.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

If effort is linear then, by definition, you should never put more than 50% brainpower in to your code.

I'm not sure I want to increase the effort I put in though.
This feels more like a cry for help, hope the author is doing okay. Christmas can be a rough time for many people.

To answer the question though, like climate change, or whatever big issue, there's personal things you can do, there's groups you can join but we're in a democracy and pushing for things to be put into laws and then enforced is better than relying on copyright which was never really designed or operated with the best intests of society as a driver, despite that being the official spin.
Uniswap v2 perhaps started the idea of defi, at least in a 'mainstream'-accessible way. But it's not the only DEX model
Awesome work; congratulations!

You say you leveraged your experience with AI. How savvy were you in the trading/finance world when you started?
> Were you worried about a bad trip?

Many therapists and scientists have documented their personal experience guiding hundreds, sometimes thousands of trips with strong psychedelic doses (e.g. 20mg+ synthetic psilocybin, 200mcg+ lsd). They've written entire chapters on bad trips in the context of specifically psychedelics, what are their cause, how to avoid them, and how to handle them when they occur. Research papers, books, articles, etc. It's all in there. Sometimes, even reading just a single chapter from a single book is enough (James Fadiman's The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide is quite accessible. https://tripsafe.org/ also offers good advice)

Acquiring that knowledge requires to actually sit down and read the stuff. Sadly, what we have around us is people usually just spewing anecdotes and opinions.

If you're considering taking the journey, do yourself a favor and research the topic a bit before. You might be surprised at the amount of misinformation that's out there (and in these very threads).
I write my comments in commit messages because those are valid forever. A lot of times somebody will write a code comment, the code will be changed, but the comment not. This is a huge waste of time on so many fronts: writing the comment in the first place, and then confusing the subsequent developers with the wrong information. If you truly want to understand something, you can always check the change log, and find out why things are how they are.

Exceptions are e.g. if it's something exceptionally tricky or a hack of some kind that is kind of important. It doesn't happen all that much because the stuff I work on is simple. If I was going to do a lot of "commenting" I would prefer to write and update good documentation that gives an overview of how different things work together. The nitty gritty changes too often and is not that important in the grand scheme of things.

Nice explantation of the topic by Two Minute Papers on YouTube:

I think they are saying that there are two Apples, one is doing administrative, engineering and marketing while the other is doing retail sales, cafeteria work, or manual labor. The latter doesn't get the same benefits as the former. The equitable thing is about making policy for time off and other benefits universal for all parts of the business. I think it's a fine idea.
For PDF there are OpenXPS and DjVu.
I run a micro ISP providing gigabit internet access to around 100 businesses that does around $4.5k a month. It started by accident when I got a connection for myself and then shared it with others. My landlord then expanded and invited me to offer it to more units so I made the platform self serve which means apart from initial install it's pretty hands off. Not enough to live on but good side income while I launch another startup!
>Value is in the eye of the beholder.

This is a common true-ish sentence but too vague and in fact inadequate in this topic. The problem lies in how value is measured and this is imo the root of nowadays turmoil.

Ultimately valuable is, what satisfies essential needs (food, shelter, clothing, meds, etc), this is the bottom line. Gold is worthless on its own. Every society revolves around these needs and if not, that society may not last any longer. Only labor provides those values and thus sustains a society but not all members profit from it, "measured", the same way. Income from capital extracts out from labor value. The poor get poorer, while the rich get lazier.

I assume your plan with crypto/gold is to dodge a financial crisis but why should a future society respect the profiteers of the exploitative former? Maybe invest in something that enables labor, eg. land.
So either driving gamers will give up on gaming while driving, or do even more crazier shit.
If both your employers are aware and okay with you working two jobs - it is totally morally okay. But I don't know lot of employers like that.
Compared to last year: I moved from Python to Rust, VSCode to neovim, and having no work or social life to having some. I suspect the latter is the primary reason I only got to day 14 this year.

That said, it is definitely easier, by a mile, to throw away an approach that turns out to be faulty in Python, which means it's easier to try it in the first place. It's easier to simply write down the approach and figure out the implementation when you need to as well.

Interested in getting more out of vim, so far I'm quicker for some things, but I'm not convinced I'm quicker overall.
Making it the opposite is wrong as well, though (PEMDAS or whatever the acronym americans learn isn't the sole truth). Just use parenthesis.

one would just assume that people doing it are making a rational choice, and don't need someone else to second guess it.

What's so wrong with this line of thinking?
No? Then why did a Merry Christmas by a right wing politician message get automatically flagged specifically for being "discriminatory"? Obviously someone somewhere thinks it's at best a gray area.

I think john_moscow's theory has a lot of merit, although I think it's more related to general D&I ideology than people being priced out of Christmas specifically. They're just desperate for ways to show how much they care about foreigners vs local people, and this is one more way.
Plenty of good closed source software get used by developers.

Often it's in the shape of services but I've seen a fair share of proprietary code.
What search engine prioritizes links in comments or code blocks as any sort of signal?

I have no particular attachment to SO, especially after the way they handled their public drama recently.

That said I put a link to SO any time I have to look something up there and it’s not immediately obvious from the naming/docs why it does what it does. I also try to sum it up in a sentence or two if I can and if it doesn’t distract from understanding the larger goal of that section of code.
Also, find the real source of what you're copying. The formula they cite for brightness is a rounded version of BT601 luminance. Citing the standard in the comment is way better than just linking a random SO answer.

Links are mutable, links die, SO answers can be edited. Include any information needed to understand the code into the comment and proper copyright acknowledgements if you copied it (assuming the license allows it).
The funny thing is that the Threadripper isn't even a DC/Server CPU, it's a workstation CPU. The whole comparison is undermined by the design choices.
I have one, TurnShift: https://turnshift.app.

Now making almost $500 MRR with 10 customers.

This is an app to share tasks, duties and manage rotations in Slack. It was an internal tool at my previous company (Algolia), that I rewrote with their permission as a SaaS and sold to them. Growth is slow, mostly driven by Google searches and Slack app store.

One out of 10 signups per month will eventually use the service. For the few ones I've been able to ask "Why did you leave", the answer is: they want a Google Calendar for Teams. Which I am slowly building. This way, the shift scheduling will be more flexible.

> Who is a reasonable consumer?

I wouldn't phrase it like that.

I wouldn't split customers in reasonable and unreasonable ones.

I'd just estimate how much energy each person uses on average, both for heating or running devices and in the products they purchase.

Then I'd bring up energy price to a level where it's barely profitable to mine crypyo. I'd do that by taxing energy manufacturers.

Then I'd calculate how this increase will increase cost of living to average person. And pay out every person basic income at level high enough to compensate for this price hike.

Taxes might be used to steer energy sector rowards greener energy sources.

Companies can adapt to any energy price. Subsidizing exports might be needed to keep your exports globally competitive. Taxing imports according to energy consumed in their production might be needed to provide fair competition between imports and locally manufactered goods locally
I don't see how this can become reality unless the price of electric vehicles declines dramatically, or if a large percentage of the population no longer owns cars. Paying over €20k per year for owning a car isn't feasible for many. I'm assuming you think these people are going to rent cars rather than own them, but that usually seems to entail a much higher cost per distance, even ignoring fuel costs. Can you elaborate on how you think this market is going to operate and what this world would look like for its inhabitants?
I'm finishing up volume 5 soon and in addition to marttt's description of how well it's written, I think I enjoy it simply because it resonates so deeply with my own experiences. Loss, self harm, substance abuse, complex relationships with family, making mistakes and having to live with them, talking about music, making friends and love, aimlessness. It's an existentially entertaining read for me, the stuff of life as I know it. He derives insights from even banal events. And still, plenty of surprises, shocks and laughs. It's all presented with clarity and bravery.

I'm looking forward to reading some of his fiction–I'm interested to see what it's like to read the work of someone I already feel like I know so much about. Received The Morning Star as a gift this holiday season. I'm honestly a bit afraid it won't live up to what I've already read by him.

The original reason I picked up his autobiography was simply that I saw a book review about it and it filled a spot in a larger goal I have: to read a book by an author from every country. I hadn't read Norway yet, and I also was on an autobiography kick.
> Someone who managed to make significant contributions to Linux or LLVM for example might be better than the average joe.

which leads to people who want to use this mechanism to claim credit in projects they don't actually have contributions in, and because the employer doesn't actually look at the code, they cannot tell.

I recall a while ago where someone would contribute a skeleton README or some random typo fixes to many different project, and using that to make their claim to fame.

So i reject the idea that employers should use open source contributions as a metric without closely examining what those contributions are.
What contract? As an at-will employee in the US, I have literally never been presented with anything like an employment contract to sign.
I work on a few Open Source libraries and they're used by companies that make a lot of money, and people often regard me as a mug for doing the hard work for free so that other people can make lots of money. The argument I give in response is that from an economic perspective, you can only make money from a unique advantage, and since Open Source can be used by anyone, it's not giving anyone a unique advantage. I'd put it this way, that any company that's not using Open Source is putting themselves at a disadvantage.
Topically, some of these would make for extrmely geeky wrapping paper.
Not a web dev so I'm curious to know what the problem is.
The study at issue is much more limited than the article suggests, and explicitly disclaims applicability for the kind of conclusion it is being used to argue for. From p. 14 of the cited study (interword spacing is somewhat inconsistent because that's how it pastes out of the study PDF):

This study is, to our knowledge, the largest experimental evaluation of health insurance in an emerging economy and the first to examine spillover effects. Nevertheless, it has limitations. First, the study was designed to be powered to detect a change in the hospitalization rate, not necessarily changes in health outcomes. Recent research has shown that samples sized in the millions may be required to find effects on rare outcomes, even with insurance that covers not just hospital care, as in this study, but also outpatient care and drugs (Goldin, Lurie et al. 2019). Second, the study examines a plan without coverage for non-surgical outpatient care and prescription drugs. This limits applicability to more comprehensive insurance schemes. Third, while the study helps predict the effect of expanding eligibility under India’s new PMJAY insurance, it does not inform the effects of that plan’s expansion of coverage to non-acute hospital treatments.

> This is what collective experience is, though. Several peoples' experience.

No, this is not what I mean by collective experience. I mean something like what the vast majorit of experts agree on and follow in their day to day programming activities.

> This is very much true. Best practices typically are aimed at beginners. Experts usually rely on tacit understanding rather than rules-based thinking.

That means they are exactly not best practices. They are rails and safe guards for beginners to help them ramp up. Training wheels. They should never be used as an argument for an engineering decision.
> If you don't want companies to use your code for free, don't publish it for free. If they violate the licence, presumably it is a case for the courts.

Good look to the OBS team in pursuing legal actions against ByteDance/CCP.
So... US being 46th in the world for life expectancy (behind Cuba, ffs...) isn't relevant because? Just saying, there's a lot of first world countries with far higher life expectancy than the US.

Access to healthcare might be an answer. (Probably not the only answer though, but likely other answers will be aligned similarly)
Except people working on math actually get paid and don't feel entitled to get work of others for free.
This is kind of what Hanson is angling at. As I understand it, his thesis is that outside of obvious emergency stuff like infections, tumors, broken bones and such most health impact comes from lifestyle variables such as diet, physical activity, level of stress and quality of sleep. This is not traditionally understood as "medicine" (i.e. something doctors prescribe). But when people have easy access to medicine, they will be compelled to go to doctors more and doctors have an incentive to prescribe more treatments than necessary to maintain the prestige of their profession. So in the end many of these treatments will have either negligible effect on health or even be actively harmful.

There must be other reasons, if it doesn't make sense technologically, no? Instagram also has the tech to show more than 3 images in a row, and Twitter could allow longer texts if they wanted so.
Where do you get that intent as “clear”? I did not get it.

Sure, you own your car, so do whatever you want with it.

But the government owns the roads, so the same applies to them. If they say you can't drive and game... you can't drive and game.

And let's be fair here, you buy a car to drive on public roads.

I worked and work with large corporations. It takes years to implement things, be patient:) I started thinking that people who work at corporations believe in reincarnation. If a feature is not implemented in this life it will for sure be implemented in their next life.
Within the domain of electronic trading it should be obvious that prices are ordered from best to worst, and that it means increasing order for asks and decreasing order for bids.

You shouldn't comment on things that are obvious within your domain.

Now you may put a comment if instead you sort things in the reverse order than usual, for example so that you can implement adding/removing a price level at the top more efficiently with std::vector (which is only efficient fot additions/removals at the back).
In Poland there is a law that you can't run engine in your parked car for over a minute (if there are houses nearby). If you do, you can get a fine. It is considered excessive pollution and noise generation.

And we get winters where temperature drops to below -25C

It's not super strictly observed but people are concious of that and try to keep the defrost time to minimum rather scraping the ice physically than running engine for 10 minutes so the can just push off the slurry.
> I write my comments in commit messages because those are valid forever.

Don’t they disappear when someone squash merges branch where a file is both renamed and changed (a lot)? Or, at least, when somebody decides to move to code to another repo, and doesn’t bother bringing the git history along.
> is it worth it/valuable to try and work on OSS

that's the wrong question to ask - the first question to ask is whether you have some aspect of a project that you enjoy working on (or have a project of your own that you enjoy working on).

If your goal is to put your name in a well known project for marketing purposes, then i'd say you have the wrong goal for doing OSS.
> Of course i'm invested in it, to a degree.

Awesome. I appreciate that. That tacit acknowledgement is lacking in all pro-crypto posts.

Most silicon valley companies want to make a shit ton of money with their VC capital. They say things like, "We'll make the world better..." but that's really just what they tell themselves so they can feel better about making a metric shit ton of money. And there's nothing wrong with that since that's what drives the economy.

But it's unchecked greed that caused 2008, and that was human behavior.

If anything crypto appears to enable more bad human behavior: money laundering for drugs and human trafficking, rug pulls, stable coins that may or may not be literally printing money, payoffs for ransomware and blackmail...

At what point do you check your greed and want to solve the unsexy problems that crypto creates in our society?
Would you have the same feeling if the metaphor was closer to home. Making assumptions here, but say a friend that contracts and pays less tax due to it. They are very successful but technically breaking a law or two, but everyone does it so who's the sucker?

Ask HN: Got an idea, but how to find parner(s) and SMEs?
After reading the popular post today about people's side projects, I'm thinking about my current "great idea!". While I'm convinced that my idea would be successful, I lack the expertise of manufacturing and business necessary to do this alone.

Q1: For those of us not living in startup hotspots, how do you find partners and experts to work with?

Q2: How do you prevent the expert/partner from taking your idea and building it themselves, without you?

In my case, I need to manufacture something where the dimensional details will vary for every unit. 3D printing could be the solution, or perhaps there's a good way to modularize and use modern manufacturing to assemble premade components to result in the same custom solution.

There are probably many possibilities, many of which would not be suitable or economical; but that knowledge is beyond me, so I need help!

I don’t see why something that is derived from UNIX has to have to the UNIX philosophy.
