inaccurate irrelevant sources

you are better off installing Weawow, go to screen with selection of data sources where you are loaded at same time forecast from multiple relevant providers, so you just screenshot it and check weather through day or just remember it to compare later with forecast

I don't really care whether it will be 18 or 20C, but if you tell me it's gonna rain and other provider says it's not gonna rain it makes big difference in my day planning

from free apps also Weather M8 provides many sources, personally I'd prefer Simone WM8 layout but sadly it doesn't have Dark Sky and vice versa Weawow doesn't have WU so have to keep two apps

what I've personally done it's excel sheet, write down forecast over few weeks and then checked which one was the most accurate

the results for Prague confirmed Weather Underground is among the best (2nd best), but I was shocked by winner
- Dark Sky - so now I just keep two apps Weawow for Dark Sky and Weather M8 for WU, their forecast usually match but when it comes to rain I'm going with Dark Sky

I'm 44 years old. When I read your comment, I think "Great, the Bash script will continue to work the next time I need it (which might be after Elon lands humans on another planet)". But when my 22 year old colleague reads it, he likely thinks "Great, that script is full of incomprehensible syntax from the era of my last diaper change".

Thinking long term is a skill that is often realized only after one fails to make a previous long-term investment.
To the author I would ask: what did we gain? Freedom is the answer. To set your own schedule and focus on getting real work done.

I would argue that videoconferencing provides way more information than just the written medium. Like email, or postmark before it. This is a natural form of doing business. An East India trading output way out in Siam is not going to travel all the way to London for a meeting with the leadership.
> just pushing ESNI as a non-negotiable thing

Well, ECH instead of eSNI now, but yes, I would have loved this. Since browsers are all going to be willing to fall back to sending the website name in cleartext, anyone evil enough to be willing to do censorship or surveillance will just block eSNI and ECH.
PowerLine adapters exists.

Not the best solution, and usually quite pricey, but it works. If your power cabling is not from 1900 too. *grin*
There is no "displacing" going on. The amount of hashing going on is independent of the amount of BTC mined or transactions verified per unit time.

Until such time that the hashrate rises to the point that BTC mining costs more than the power to run the same miners, nobody will be turning off the machines. Unfortunately that hasn't happened and won't for years ( barring BTC price drops).

Dude, everyone knows that. Seriously.

Nobody's missing the "important point" because everybody who's been on Hacker News for five minutes has heard Paul Graham make that point. Indeed, people have made jokes about startup business plans for decades. Literally everyone knows that those things don't matter for super early stage startups.

The tweet, however, and very much like many of Paul Graham's latest essays and tweets, seems to purposely elude any context, make a very generic a debatable statement, and assert it with complete aplomb. For someone who just wrote an essay about putting ideas into words, if he can't see that this tweet will be interpreted as "balance sheets are useless", he needs to put in a bit more work.

That's what people react to, because the only conclusion is that since he doesn't want to tweet bromides, he must be trying to say something "controversial."

It's really bordering on trolling, which for a man with his age and reputation is kind of cringy, embarrassing, and frankly disappointing to people who enjoyed his past stuff.
Yeah, it is a big question too.

The best future proofing thing you can do in a living house is lay down at least x2 cable per drop.
nope, horribly inaccurate in Prague, Dark Sky and Weather Underground are miles better
The ANSI SQL standard doesn't talk about indexes at all. I'm sure you're right about PostgreSQL; I'm no expert on that implementation. I took his post to be asking about SQL Server since that's what we were talking about in the subthread (hence my SQL Server-specific response). In SQL Server indexes are table-scoped.

Give it to an MBA to evaluate and they will come right back complaining about it. Guaranteed. And asking for a formal business plan with a detailed financial planning.

So, yes, in practice for someone who are familiar with startups it is a business plan. For everybody else it's just a generic description.

He’d burnt the bridges himself long ago.

I was already aware, from things he’d said about me, that he was not a person I would ever do business with.
The link is dead for me, were you able to read it?

But this seems this is more of the ruling, note that the judge points out 'prefacing that statement with "if y' all, this is how I feel, if y' all think I did it'

> I agree with the Court's decision to deny the defendant's writ application and write separately to spotlight the very important constitutional issue regarding the invocation of counsel during a law enforcement interview. The defendant voluntarily agreed to be interviewed twice regarding his alleged sexual misconduct with minors. At both interviews detectives advised the defendant of his Miranda rights and the defendant stated he understood and waived those rights. Nonetheless, the defendant argues he invoked his right to counsel. And the basis for this comes from the second interview, where I believe the defendant ambiguously referenced a lawyer—prefacing that statement with "if y' all, this is how I feel, if y' all think I did it, I know that I didn't do it so why don't you just give me a lawyer dog cause this is not what's up."

> As this Court has written, "[i]f a suspect makes a reference to an attorney that is ambiguous or equivocal in that a reasonable police officer in light of the circumstances would have understood only that the suspect might be invoking his right to counsel, the cessation of questioning is not required." State v. Payne, 2001-3196, p. 10 (La. 12/4/02), 833 So.2d 927, 935 (citations omitted and emphasis in original); see also Davis v. United States, 512 U.S. 452, 462, 114 S.Ct. 2350, 2357, 129 L.Ed.2d 362 (1994) (agreeing with the lower courts' conclusion that the statement "[m]aybe I should talk to a lawyer" is not an unambiguous request for a lawyer).

> In my view, the defendant's ambiguous and equivocal reference to a "lawyer dog" does not constitute an invocation of counsel that warrants termination of the interview and does not violate Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477, 101 S.Ct. 1880, 68 L.Ed.2d 378 (1981).

Type error.

A `date` is a time interval (from midnight to midnight in a given time zone). One could argue that `time` values in computer programs also cover a span, even if it is infinitesimally small for most purposes.

The correct operation to compare intervals of varying lengths is not equality, it is either containment or overlap.

But you just said that he actually didn't care much about that stuff, that he just wanted to know 3 specific datapoints. Datapoints that traditional financiers have gotten from traditional financial statements for centuries. Sure, there's lots of bullshit in financial statements. But there's also lots of bullshit in emails and slack messages. If someone is pumping up a balance sheet with dead receivables and check kiting and other forms of bullshittery, what's stopping them from saying the same thing over an email?

You're acting like PG is sitting on something profound here, but there's nothing profound in the slightest. Nobody has ever gotten rich writing financial statements, they get rich by creating value that didn't exist before. The financial statements don't get you customers, don't build revenues, don't develop products, don't manage your cash flows, and don't manage expenses. But they're still crucial because they communicate, in a fairly standardized way, all of the most important measurements of a businesses success...including the three things that you just said PG cared most about.

Telling people that financial statements don't matter is like telling a PhD-candidate astrophysicist that it doesn't matter that they can only communicate in Azerbaijani as long as their physics research is rock solid. It's already completely brain-dead obvious that the physics research quality is the most important thing...but it's a breach of duty to tell them that they don't need to know how to communicate it to their peers.

I have found out a way to make people realize by themselves how inefficient this practice is: if I get a "hi" message without any further question/info, I will delay the response for a few hours. The next time I always get the full message right away.
He might have meant to scope them but he has a few bugs in his code^H^H^H^Htweet that mean it's completely unscoped.

But yes I agree, he's talking early-stage startups. At that stage balance sheets seem like they would be obvious.

If I had one and you looked at it. It would tell you that I'm draining my personal savings and should probably go and take a job at a FAANG and stop trying to build a startup.

Standing next to one of those trucks during the protest, is like standing in a building alone in the midst of George Floyd protests, except you get engulfed in flames instead of your ear drums ruined.

And getting your ear drums ruined is no happy thing. Which is why it is crazy silencers are illegal.

Not something I’m going to dig into, sorry. People have every right to block others, without giving any explanation and I support that side of it completely.

It stood out from my pov because there’s very very few times I’ve noticed I’m blocked and I don’t generally mean to cause any offence. The most I would’ve been intending to cause was a little introspection.

Given the definition of economics, I'd say whether it is technically one or the other is kind of meaningless. If you throw enough resources at something, you can achieve all manner of things that don't make any practical sense. Whether such a situation can be more properly understood in terms of "just needing a lot of money," or "having physical limitations making it impractical" is a pants vs. trousers type question.

ETA:

I didn't follow up my point very strongly earlier, but "double" is important here. Spending many multiples of resources to get cells that at most have double the efficiency of standard single junction cells is not what we usually think of when we think scientific breakthrough. It's certainly not scaling on the level of Moore's law, the expectation that the economy grow something like 3% a year, or various other exponential growth patterns we have come to take as normal.

A fun chart to look at for efficiency is provided by NREL [1]. Half the talks on photovoltaics seem to add it somehow. An important point is technologies can get stuck in a particular parameter space for large amounts of time despite tons of money being poured in. Efficiency improvements are not guaranteed, they cost a lot, and they are often tiny when they occur. My macro point, if I have one, is society is best off trying to grab low hanging fruit from multiple disciplines that feed into photovoltaics, and media should try to emphasize that effort rather than pushing cell efficiency improvements, which are not going to do a whole lot by themselves.

The best part about this thread is the AI did a better job of explaining the joke than the humans.
This was really great to read. Recently, I read Ted Kaczynski's "Industrial Society and its Future", aka the Unabomber Manifesto. The idea of anarcho-primitivist living is actually really attractive in theory, and this is a great example of someone actually living this lifestyle in practice. It seems tough. I'm not so sure I could essentially live a life of vagrancy and dumpster diving. Maybe I have been overly socialized and sold ideas that status and comfort are more important than freedom from "wage slavery". But I think author also concedes that there is a spectrum for everyone, and just doing your best to reduce reliance on society will be to your benefit.

At least for me, a step in this direction would be to go thrift shopping from here on out for clothing, and to learn how to repair clothing. Also, living in SF, there is a bakery nearby that puts their unsold baguettes for free on the street every night. I shouldn't think of myself being above picking some of those up. I guess the idea is just to live a little more sustainably and produce less waste.
Clearly very smart, but I haven't heard or read anything from him that would classify as genius.
shrug it is no more; or less remarkable to me than multiple solutions existing for the same problem.

Multiple algorithms (proofs) of theorems. Multiple different theories explaining one and the same phenomenon.

The principle of equifinality is everywhere in open systems.

Only exemplified further that Logic, Programming and Mathematics are essentially three different tools for the same job.
People considering him a genius as opposed to a narcissist who accidentally got rich likely fuels his need to drop nuggets of "wisdom" to the peasants like this.

Once it’s up and running it’s fine but importing photo libraries into Photos is truely the worst software experience I have ever had. It took me weeks of on and off tinkering to get my partner’s photo library setup correctly and syncing with iCloud Photos. The worst part is that when it does fail there’s absolutely no indication to the user what went wrong. At best you’ll get some kind of generic error message, at worst it just hangs forever. Perfectly demonstrates how Apple’s “it just works” design philosophy falls apart when it doesn’t just work.
Thanks. It's a simple game that is not an MMO. It does not contain a leaderboard.
He's not saying you don't need a balance sheet. He's saying looking at one for an early stage startup as an outsider doesn't help him make a decision.

I suspect if you asked him he would tell you that particularly as the startup grows the startup should be across the financials, just that it doesn't help an outsider with no context as to why you're in the red.
What I find really funny about this twitter thread is that there is an obvious solution, to the immediate problem; just get rid of the mandates.

Problem solved.

Except people have now learned they can stand up to “the man” in charge and win. Which might be why they’d let the insanity continue.
Browsers implemented it, but had to drop support because proxies don't support this, so in practice it turned out to be a major source of bugs.
Another example of compile time evaluation: one of my favourite things about the guile repl is the ,opt[imize] command at the repl. You run it on a piece of code and it shows you the result of macro expansion, inlining, DCE, some other things, and most notably partial evaluation.

One example of how I use it can be found here: https://git.sr.ht/~bjoli/goof-loop/#speed in the first example where I contrast ,expand (macro expansion) and ,opt (the source->source optimizer.

Crypto doesn’t offer anything new over the blue dollar market besides digitizing it at a huge energy markup.

If you're converting your crypto back to fiat you're still needing a reliable state sponsored intermediary at some point in the pipeline. Most people don't really trade flash drives with coins anymore, they use Coinbase or something that has their government ID on file. And it's not like the conversion rate from Argentine pesos to Ethereum or whatever is very favorable — it's the same as the conversion to dollars. You can argue it's more stable than Argentine pesos but that's a really low bar to clear with 50% yearly inflation. Dollars also are more stable and don't require any technology or technical knowledge.

What it has mainly enabled is for people in these "weaker states" to take advantage of public goods like electricity subsidies to "mine" (read: verifiably waste energy) whatever FotM crypto and dump it for the next cycle. I'm not sure why it's controversial to dislike rewarding people for wasting a very disproportionate amount of energy in a public way.

Do the arguments about private entities and no compelled speech apply to this case too? Or do those arguments only apply when Big Tech censors people?
I hate it that every tech reviewer, and even this person who is porting this phone to Linux complains about plastic devices "feeling cheap". That's why we get these crappy and impractical glass and aluminium phones. Objectively, high-tech plastics is superior in every regard as a phone body. It is harder to break then glass, harder to bend or deform compared to aluminum, lighter (which is good), will not freeze your fingers when touching it in the cold, will not block RF and it enables repairability. But sure, "feels cheap", therefore we can't have it in flagship phones.
It certainly has, using them on Visual Studio 2022 C++20 mode, and you don't need D's hack to import them inside functions.
Sending money from a debit account is one thing, but where does the money go? An arbitrary number on a web page like PayPal, or would you get the money directly in your bank account?

I'm skeptical of these claims.
The easiest way of getting security wrong is assuming it's all or nothing. This is a very common error I see here.

Security is about risk management and levels of protection. Saying locking your door is useless because someone might drive a car through is not going to help anything.

What think it interesting is you get 50W of power. You could run lights and small appliances off that. Since it's low voltage wouldn't require an electrician to install it either.
You could probably just ask in some way (email maybe) to become unblocked. It's really easy to feel like you're under attack constantly with that many followers so I'm not surprised any of them go heavy on the blocking.
I never heard of this before, went to the site, saw it's some new blockchain rugpull with a new coat of paint, and closed the tab. I mean, they literally want me to be a "snark producer", so here we go.
How do these writers still have a job? I get more out of a substack article.
How do you differentiate these recruiters from the run of the mill spambot recruiters? Or is this a delusional comment by someone who didn’t realize they were being sold?
I've defined it myself (when doing C# with functional heavy code but it feels clunky) but there's still edge cases where it isn't as nice especially with functions of multiple args, or functions passed in. Sure C# can do these things with more code, just like F# can jump into some unsafe code, but its nicer in F# IMO. The other thing is that the operator as above is probably allocation heavy especially when needing to complete a function inside the lambda whereas the pipe in F# the compiler just rewrites the code. In hot loops or highly repeated workflows this makes a difference.

C# Fluent API's aren't really piped things since they usually just mutate a variable underneath (hence the ignore often at the end of them in F#). I don't think fluent API's and piped functions are the same thing, and the pipe operator allows any function that matches the signature to be put in.
C is forever.
Congratulations to the cryptographers and engineers at Mina for shipping this. We are getting palpably close to efficiently provable general computation. (For others interested in the evolution, see TinyRAM and the various zkEVM efforts especially zkSync2. This is a fascinating development in CS with wide implications.)

My issue with Mina as a platform is the token distribution. It's over 50% allocated to insiders: https://minaprotocol.com/blog/mina-token-distribution-and-su...

(Note that of the 1m initial tokens, slightly over half is "backers", "core contributors", and the two foundations. Since Mina is proof-of-stake, all ongoing issurance goes to existing tokenholders, so we can expect that Mina will always be over 50% insider owned unless they sell.)

The loudness of everything falls off with distance. How far away is the 100-120dB measured from, and how far away are these ones from the residents?
The bar has to be a little higher than that. I can go to any protest and shout, "Kill the President." At a minimum, I have to have the intent of following through, otherwise I'm just some loud nutjob at somebody else's protest. Even then, I'm attempting a coup. Everyone else is still just protesting. The nature of their actions is not changed by my presence there.

Maybe Jan. 6 still clears that bar. I don't know enough of the details to say that it doesn't.
This is what happened to me. I was shadowbanned or something like it for a comment made a few days earlier. The mod did tell me but I didn’t realize it because I would have needed to look through my comment history. I had no idea until another user pointed it out to me.
