The issue with a lot of advice is that the world is insane. A lot of very very straightforward practical advice would make you a social outcast if you did it to a degree that it moves the needle.

For example, financially it makes PHENOMENAL sense to save almost everything you make right out of school and don't buy things or take on loans. Live like a hermit. Get the compounding interest going as fast as you can, early as you can.

But then you're a boring, lame, cheap person that gets backburnered as a second class friend for YOLO stuff, or even worse you won't be as appealing to mates.

Likewise, don't drink/smoke/do drugs/eat like shit when you are young. You get decades on the backend of life of FAR higher quality life (like, you are basically an average 20 year old in health into your 50s and 60s). But... again, that marks you as boring.

What people want is this amazing insightful advice that has no consequences to implement.

Yeah it's pretty much the MIME email format as a container for a webpage.

A lot of the issues "solved" in modern frameworks could have been addressed by using this, but instead things went a different path.
They could've tried making the official apps not suck before killing all others. While I agree that ads are important to their business model, it's not like they couldn't've found an arrangement with third party client makers. As far as I remember they ended up charging multiples for API access of what would be reasonable to refinance with ads.
Considering how badly their ads have traditionally performed I have trouble imagining them being any better of for it.

That is a fair point (but I'd point to the Australian Banking Royal Commission over and above Police racism if you're looking to show how financial institutions violate the trust of undereducated/underprivileged people).

I don't think crypto is the right solution, though.

If anything, it requires _more_ trust from vulnerable people than traditional finance, and without any central authority it's difficult to regulate.

I like this quote and have used myself several times. The devil is in the details though. "who spends himself in a worthy cause". IoT is far from a worthy cause, it's a desperate attempt to sell more stuff. Or let me go to the internet's favorite argument: Hitler also did deeds and could have certainly done them better. Are we not allowed to be judgemental?
“The money they are making isn't because of their art...”

Yeah you lost me there we must have radically different exposures to NFT art because the stuff i see is magical. Not sure what you’re looking at but you should check out Hic Et Nunc, OBJKt and my fav - FXhash which is a generative art market on Tezos.

A lot of things you’ve said can be true and simultaneously we could also have a healthy global digital art market growing under our noses for the first time in human history.

Apple Media Services and Apple Platforms’ Locale Problem – A Tip and Its Iceberg
volt.fm is really cool thanks for that!
I would recommend "The Innovator's Dilemma", explains really well why this happens.

In a nutshell, the argument is that successful companies fail to enter new markets because they have good management, not bad one.

In Ford's or IBM's case, a sane manager would not go invest in an unproven market, they rather maximize profits and growth on the market they are most effective at; however, this comes at a cost of missing new opportunities, which makes this a dilemma.

Successful companies could try to create little startups inside the big corporation; however, this rarely works out since you really need the entrepreneural spirit, align compensation to success and freedom without the restrictions of the parent company. The best alternative might be to create a VC arm that can serve later on as merger as acquisitions, but even then, is not guaranteed the startup would want to merge to the parent company nor that it would be the best decision.
But at the end of the day, you're not reselling the art, you're reselling the NFT.

There's nothing that makes this capability unique to NFTs or crypto - you could sell a license to an artwork that has similar terms.
don't forget the -l or it does weird rounding.

The offer letter is a contract if you accept it.

What does it say about your duties?

Note that salaried employees can legally have a day's pay deducted if they don't work that day (Fair Labor Standards Act). So there is an expectation that you'll be working.

It's not illegal to have multiple salaried jobs. But you can run afoul of your agreement, because of things like conflict of interest, non-disclosure, non-compete, security, etc. This would all depend on what your offer letter says.

My point wasn’t that you can’t find 20 years old cars that are better than the worst newer cars (I’d totally imagine 2000’s top of the line Mercedes to be more secure than today’s Lada)

If you stay within a category there will be progressive improvements that cumulate enough to be a big difference 20 years after.

I also totally agree that some cars don’t need to be built to handle getting crushed by a tank if they’re supposed to be lightweight low speed convenience vehicles. Now those still see enough improvement to be changed after a few decades IMO.
I learned rust before go and I was shocked by the (lack of) error handling in go.

Estimates are that there are 10^78 -- 10^82 atoms in the observable universe.

10^100 would be a number greater than either of these values. That's the named large number googol.

A googolplex is 10^10^100 ... that is, ten raised to the power of ten raised to the power of a googol.

There are notations for describing yet larger numbers.

One of these is Knuth's up-arrow notation, in which an upward-pointing arrow (↑) indicates iterated exponentiation.[1]

2↑4 = 2 * (2 * (2 * 2)) = 2^4 = 2^16
2↑↑4 = 2↑(2↑(2↑2) = 2^16 = 65,536

2↑↑↑4 is harder to describe, especially with the typographic limitations of HN.

It is 2↑↑(2↑↑(2↑↑2)), which is 2^2, itself raised to the power of 2, and so forth, 2^65,536 times. (The Wikipedia article represents this more clearly, though omitting ... some detail...)

The number is immensely large. It is immensely larger than the number of atoms, or subatomic particles (roughly 1 electron and 3 quarks per atom), or Planck lengths (~10^53), or Planck volumes (~10^53^3), in the observable universe. And yet it can be represented.

And it's hardly the largest representable number.[2]

The up-arrow notation itself can be more concisely represented as ↑^n, where n is the number of arrows: ↑^2 = ↑↑, ↑^3 = ↑↑↑, etc.

And all of these are simply representations of integer numbers. There are infinitely many integers, and given a need, a sufficiently concise set of expressions can be constructed to describe these.

Infinity is like, really big, man.[3]

There is no bound on points. There is no bound on monetary units which can be created. There is a bound on what those can represent, but that is a separate argument. Money != value. Money is a unit of measurement of value.

I haven’t finished this yet (only at the start of chapter 6) but The Scientist and Engineer’s Guide to Digital Signal Processing [0] has been excellent so far. DSP is one of the subjects I’ve wanted to learn for years but could never get my head around, mostly (I think) due to bad instructors and very math-heavy explanations. This book is finally demystifying it for me, with explanations that go for intuition over mathematical purity.

The book is even freely available on the author’s site! I wish I’d found this years ago.

Or that.

Absence of people to trade with is not something that someone is doing to you.

If you choose not to go the grocery store, but instead see if anyone is selling anything on a random street corner, whose fault is that?

Congrats on getting this ‘joke’ off the ground!

I think the greatest potential of this app thus far is that your development and especially overhead costs have been very low. You may be able to add some functionality that does differentiate it from iMessage and attract a user base.

I like the interface, especially the desktop one. It looks less like a messaging app and more like a note-taking or collaborative app, not sure if that indicates the direction you want to go.
Is this effort shared by, for example, Chinese and Russian geneticists, or is it purely a Western endeavor?

I think you summed it up with Hand is subset of Table is subset of Tournament.

When creating a new table randomise which Player sits where, with Dealer being a bot Player that has rules on how it plays its hand.

Keep an isActive on the Hands so you know who’s turn it is, and a sequential number so you know which order they sit in at the Table

If you focus on one Table and figure that out I think you’ll replicate it easily to a Tournament of Tables

Good luck! Sounds fun!

This is good advice, but that design is still terrible.

Take for example, IKEA Tradfri: if you use their dimmers, you don't ever need to reset the lamps. You just hold the dimmer and it's reset button close to the lamp.

And if you use another system, you reset them by quickly switching them on and off six times. Takes under ten seconds. "It's complicated" is not a very good excuse for shitty design reaching end users.

No, I'm not a contractor. I work as an employee.

And, no, I've never signed anything stating I'd work "40 hours" for a tech company. I edited this into a previous comment, but this is literally the applicable phrase from my last offer letter:

> As an exempt salaried employee, you will be expected to work the hours, including evenings and weekends, required to perform your job duties.

It goes both way, you see. I accomplish my duties in less than 40 hours, I get to be done. If my manager is happy with my work, quite frankly, why does it matter how long it takes?

One of the things that hadn't occurred to me before watching this video is how much easier GI can make environment artists' jobs. Rather than "faking it" with a bunch of artificially placed light sources, they can just light the scene naturally and the effect should be as good as or better than the old techniques.
> Tires pressure sensors, why is this silliness needed?

So I know when my tire pressure is low? Roads have hazards on them, I'd prefer to know something is causing my tire to slowly leak well before it starts to cause a problem.

Also TPMSs aren't critical path tech, if they break down the car still runs fine.

> ABS? Learn to brake.

Is this a joke? ABS has saved countless lives. In emergency situations higher order thinking goes out the window. ABS is a "do what needs to be done to save my life right now" system.

Heck even automatic climate control is pretty damn simple. While I don't prefer using it, a thermostat that turns a heater on or off is not exactly new technology. Setting up a feedback loop to narrow in on "how hot" the heater should be set to for the fan to kept continuously while keeping ambient air at a constant temperature is also quite simple. This is 40-50+ year old tech.
Lovely to see the "how dare you to have 2 jobs!" boomer crowd going nuts. All those comments about , "you are destroying you career", and "you wont get promoted" , are so cringe.

I think as time goes on, all of these social platforms trying to lock people in are going to start saying stuff like this. Reddit, Facebook, all of them breaking compatibility with standards shows the infeasibility of the business model, nothing else. Tools to do the same things they do on the wider internet are maturing, they're eschewing them thinking they can rest on their size and it's going to bite them in the ass.

If I understand the Valhalla proposed design [0], every primitive reference type `X` will have an associated primitive value type `X.val`, while every primitive value type `X` will have an associated primitive reference type `X.ref`. Which one gets to be called `X` is a function of how you declare it -- `primitive class X.val {}` gives primacy to the reference type.

So, if `Optional` will continue to be a reference type, you should be able to use `Optional.val` to use the associated value type.

Got it for 1-2 weeks January this year. At first I thought it was the seasonal flu and some coughing especially since it was in the middle of snow season. But then I had mild smell / taste loss symptoms and decided to test to make sure. And for 2-3 days, man I don't know how best to explain this, but my chest felt like it was stuck in an old moldy cardboard box, but after a few days I felt better. Smell & taste also came back fully in a few weeks and was back to normal but it was a very ... interesting experience.

Felt somewhat worse than a regular flu but in some ways I'm glad I got through it without getting too much worse for the wear.
The Hubble will likely outlast the JWST.

Let's just check the wiki.

Infrared telescopes have a disadvantage: the telescope must be kept very cold in order to observe in the infrared without interference... below 50 K.
The telescope's sunshield ripped during a practice deployment.
JWST will operate... 1,500,000 km beyond Earth's orbit. Hubble orbits [at] 550 km.
The Webb telescope will use 126 small motors to occasionally adjust the optics.
...most infrared telescopes have a lifespan limited by their coolant, as short as a few months, maybe a few years at most.
[The JWST] is designed to cool itself without a dewar, using a combination of sunshields and radiators, with the mid-infrared instrument using an additional cryocooler.
The review also found JWST had 344 potential single-point failures, any of which could doom the project.
2010 Nature article: "The telescope that ate astronomy."
Its nominal mission time is five years, with a goal of ten years.
JWST needs to use propellant to maintain its halo orbit around L2, which provides an upper limit to its designed lifetime, and it is being designed to carry enough for ten years.
Do not expect 30 years of service from this device.
