My Video Hub App is generating about $500 / month. It's a perpetual license for $5 per copy.

I am planning to create another app that might generate a similar income stream. I've done 0 paid advertising - only some posts here-and-there; I would probably have more sales if I knew how to market my app better.

I only ever worked a tipped job in California, where there is no separate tipped minimum, but it's a very common refrain from service industry workers commenting online that this "top up" happens far less often than you would think.
That Wikipedia definition is not a good definition because it would include things like pure hydrazine, high-speed steel, and cubic boron nitride as metamaterials, which they are not.

A better definition is that a metamaterial is a material whose properties come from a highly ordered structure rather than from its composition. Negative refractive indices, negative Poisson's ratio, solids with lower densities than aerogels, stuff like that. Usually things like foams, fiber-matrix composites, and gold nanoparticle pigments are excluded because they're too disordered, and things like wood, limpet teeth, nacre, and bone are often excluded because they're natural, though sometimes they are included.

In this case the particular properties they're trying to achieve are found in natural materials, just not the ones they're making the trusses out of.
> I don't yet support Linux because out of thousands of users, only 2 people have emailed about Linux support (probably both from HN!).

I'm a little surprised to read this from an Electron dev. I remember reading old forum posts about how the Spotify port for Linux was arranged by two devs who met after work for a few hours and got it working well enough that Spotify let them release it as an unsupported client. There was one or two issues that had to do with importing local music, but besides that it ran perfectly fine. You're of course welcome to do whatever you want, but if your runtime is essentially a web browser, I doubt there's going to be much trouble getting it to work on Linux. But what do I know, I don't make a living off of printing labels...

> It's a total joy bringing something like this to market for a niche that's otherwise a dumpster fire of old and clunky 1980s-era Windows-only software.

Here's my grumpy old man take: I kinda prefer the clunky Delphi forms of yesteryear. No, they weren't very pretty, but they were stable and performant enough that if you bought a license, you could guarantee that it would run forever. There was a special kind of feeling of ownership with that software, because it really felt like it was tangible and "yours". I don't think any Electron app has ever made me feel that way; at best it's a begrudging relationship with software I need for work, at worst it's one update away from being changed enough that I want the old version back. Again, take this with a grain of salt, I don't know your heuristics here.

> For example, in this very thread "level1" tries to criticize Israel with a factually false accusation, checking his post history finds him singling out Jews. This is pretty typical.

To be clear I am referring to this - but then I think you'll criticize all of HRW as anti-semitic as well right? Come one and deal with reality.

Most people are past the point of debating whether it is apartheid or not.

Most Israelis believe that Israel should give preferential rights to Jews:

"Most Israeli Jews (79%) say Jews deserve preferential treatment in Israel."

Also 50% support transfer of Arabs out of the state:

"The survey asked Jews whether they strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree with the statement that “Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel.” Roughly half of Israeli Jews strongly agree (21%) or agree (27%), while a similar share disagree (29%) or strongly disagree (17%).3"

You can play "didn't read the article" bingo with these posts every time.

1. This isn't technology that increases lifespan dramatically. No one is going to live to 150 because of this work. Instead, they might live an extra decade at absolute best, but more likely (and the goal) is that they'll have a longer healthy life. That is to say, maybe you'd die at the same age, but you'd be walking around, feeling young and energetic, for more years of your life.

2. This technology is unlikely to extraordinarily expensive. Even current anti-aging pills that are patented are easily affordable by the middle class. But more importantly, imagine if you eliminated cancer, alzheimers, and other age-related illnesses - imagine the economic impact, what that would do to insurance premiums, etc. It would have a significant overall positive impact on the economy.

Almost every post will make the mistake of talking about immortality, absurd age extensions (150 year lifespans), etc. None of that is on the table.

Summary: Microstates within new monetary unions have higher masters. Eurozone’s masters are in Brussels and Frankfurt who are both skeptical of Malta and also into heavy regulation and not into crypto. So Malta would be down for whatever but they also have to try remain in the graces of their masters. Malta is also not a competent jurisdiction, its a pirate den with sovereignty, so whenever they bandwagon jump on an industry they try to attract they mess up the regulations because they dont know what a comprehensive approach looks like. Their crypto regulations fell into a mixture of incompetence and appeasing brussels.

Other microstates like Leichtenstein, for example, are not Eurozone and also competent. They are in a monetary union with Switzerland who is also very crypto friendly at all public sector levels except the incumbent banking private sector. So Malta dropped the crystal ball and is in a less geopolitical circumstance to repair it.

CHERI is not an actor system. It is a capability system aimed at memory protection. It can be used, like any other architecture, as a basis upon which to build an actor-based framework/system, but it is no more of an actor system than, say, x86. The concepts are deeply rooted in the capability system literature.
This is a good article. But it's too kind to contemporary economics. Contemporary economics especially neoliberalism is simply a pseudo-scientific justification for crushing workers rights globally and maximizing profits for those at the very top.

Economists told us for decades that wages are tied to productivity, when all the data points in the exact opposite direction. Economists told us that opening up developing countries' markets would result in their development and increase in standard of living. How's that going in 2022?
Thanks, sounds reasonable. Although I'll probably look at the area too.

It's very hard to find security people who can keep business needs in the back of their minds as well. That's why developers make the best security people, and pure security people are often too hard headed. (I'm saying that as a pure security person who learned the hard way.)
Further, in the context that statement was made, Roosevelt's "friendliness to all races" was freighted with some icky stuff --- that, for instance, leading them out of the darkness of their indigenous culture was a great favor done for them by western civilization.

I've increasingly found myself drawn to writing declarations as programs, not as config in any plain textual format.

Whether it's going all the way in the direction of supporting general purpose languages like Pulumi does, or with a niche but still Turing-complete language like Nix's expression language, or even Dhall, which other commentators have mentioned. That isn't to say there is no place for simple, human readable schema. I think these tools need a fallback to something simpler.

Nothing these tools do couldn't be emulated by manual processes of hand-writing complex makefiles or YAML or whatever, but what is striking to me is the use of general purpose languages, usually with tooling to do type-checking and IDE assistance to writing these things, which lowers the barrier to entry and empowers someone who "just knows (Python|JavaScript|Go|...)" to contribute in a familiar environment.

A couple more examples:

Envoy: I have had the displeasure, recently, of writing by-hand a configuration for the Envoy load balancer. Envoy uses a "typed config language", which is often represented as YAML or JSON, but it's very painful to write by hand. On the other hand, if you have the protocol buffers/gRPC schema available in code, it's vastly less painful to use any programming language to build the typed objects and then export to plain text. The xDS protocol is designed for being interacted with via programs, not plaintext.

GitLab CI: GitLab supports writing a program, which runs as part of the CI/CD job, to generate the configuration for a subsequent pipeline. This makes writing complex jobs, or repetitive monorepo tasks much simpler. A 10 line Python program that effectively does "for each folder in `python`, emit this block of YAML" is incredibly powerful.

That last example is salient to me: markup languages are really easy to parse, but challenging to read when they're dynamic. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to mix and match? YAML/JSON where it makes sense and the intent and meaning is self-evident, and to write code where you need dynamism?

Full disclosure: I work for Pulumi, opinions are my own, etc.

Do you mean the Turkiye government? ;)

(Reference to the recent news item that Erdogan made a public statement in which he renamed Turkey to Turkiye in English.)
Yeah that's why I was asking about Cue's eventual goals with libraries like Serde. I assume eventually they'd like to be able to auto-generate type definitions for a target language, but I don't know.

> Cue does not due this, it parses in a "dynamically typed" manor, then uses the type system to evaluate the turing complete (or close to it) expression language.

As I understand it Cue would help in two ways currently. 1. It would be able to type-check existing yaml files to catch things like the "no" case. 2. if you write your config in Cue, it would output properly-typed yaml to avoid things like "no".

This kind of armchair criticism is really frustrating to see. Here, you have a company tackling arguably the most important and devastating problem humanity has ever faced. At least they are doing something that helps humanity solve aging, where almost no one else is.

Who cares if it's capitalist-driven? It's not like governments don't, or never, had the opportunity to attempt to tackle the same problem - they simply never took it, focusing on the trivial day-to-day issues, while overwhelmed with bureaucratic tape. And it's not like nonprofits attempting to solve the same problem don't exist either (https://www.sens.org/, https://www.lifespan.io/), with limited success. A massive financial juggernaut backing this initiative is exactly what it needs.

I don't think that makes sense at all. One major part of Part 15 from the FCC covers this. A device would fall under the category as an intentional radiator in part 15.1. And in part 15.23, considered a home-built device.

§ 15.23 Home-built devices.

(a) Equipment authorization is not required for devices that are not marketed, are not constructed from a kit, and are built in quantities of five or less for personal use.

(b) It is recognized that the individual builder of home-built equipment may not possess the means to perform the measurements for determining compliance with the regulations. In this case, the builder is expected to employ good engineering practices to meet the specified technical standards to the greatest extent practicable. The provisions of § 15.5 apply to this equipment.

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-A...

This entire part from the FCC basically states you don't need a license to operate in the frequencies for wifi, bluetooth, etc. You're not breaking a law by recompiling the firmware for your wifi module to fix a bug. You'd be breaking the law if you did so with the intention of operating within licensed spectrum/power levels, for example.
You are now arguing that this is the case:

> If it turns out hardly anybody cares, they won't. But then the argument that most people are buying Apple products specifically because they want a curated experience would disintegrate against empirical evidence.

And then it goes both ways. If people go out and buy an iPhone because it's shiny and they're uninformed, without realizing it gives a huge corporation the ability to control what they can do with it while collecting rents on everything they buy and hiding all of that from them, that's at least as much of a problem as some app wants to show you ads for shoes because you did a search for shoes.

The solution for both is to do something about the information problem while still giving people choices, not declaring Apple to be Father and all living under corporate patriarchy.

If nobody cares then convince them to care or lose. Locking them in a gilded cage "for their own good" is not a valid solution.

From the paper:

"For example, a well-known security issue in the Linux kernel was produced by a compiler incorrectly assuming a pointer null check was unnecessary ([40] fig. 6) and deleting it as an optimization. Or consider this (simplified) patch report for Linux [25]: The test [for termination] in this loop: [...] was
getting completely compiled out by my gcc, 7.0.0 20160520. The result was that the loop was going beyond the end of the [...] array and giving me
a page fault [...] I strongly suspect it’s because __start_fw and __end_fw are both declared as (separate) arrays, and so gcc concludes that __start_fw can never point to __end_fw. By changing these variables from arrays to pointers, gcc can no longer assume that these are separate arrays."

Both of those sound like simple bugs in the compiler optimizer implementation, in which case they could hardly be use as examples of how the current C standard was bad.

Extremely high test positivity rates show that this isn't the case.

That's at least the case in my state; I can't speak for yours of course. AFAIK we also don't know much about the prevalence of "long COVID" from Omicron. Anecdotally, of the dozen or so people (mid-30s, all but 1 vaccinated) I personally know who got COVID over the holidays (so presumably Omicron), 2 were hospitalized and 5 were completely floored by COVID for at least a month. My vaccinated sister still doesn't have her sense of taste/smell back two months later. I think in a month or so we vaccinated folks can probably start acting normal again, like we did last summer. But at the moment it doesn't seem like the best time to take the gamble.
