I disagree with one project at a time. It's usually impractical even if you don't have to work and you are being supported by a stipend or family wealth. In most of our situations it's necessary to keep several balls in the air or you will end up in trouble, professionally or personally. So the question is not only prioritization I like https://slab.com/blog/eisenhower-matrix/#:~:text=The%20Eisen.... You also need to allocate time slices of your attention and energy. A strategy that works is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique
One of the things PG reiterates is that at the early stage what the startup is doing changes rapidly. Many companies that end up being very successful have a product that looks quite different from what they set out to achieve. In such a setup, half-life of a business plan may be measured in weeks and its rigorous analysis may be a wasted time.

Instead, I believe YC is trying to focus on finding good teams under the assumption that a strong team that can execute well has a higher chance of success than a worse team with a better starting plan. If anything, the business plan's value is to indicate that the founding team can think logically and realistically map products to market. Once the investment reaches 100M (YC Continuity's stated higher end), they probably focus more on the marked and business plans. Just my 2c.
Yeah... and as the person in question who found and exploited this particular bug ;P, I can definitely state that I would not feel comfortable betting the rest of my life on my ability to safely launder a giant pile of crypto back through to fiat (and then, further, keep that secret for the rest of my life, which shouldn't be downplayed).

I am much happier being able to get a bunch of clean money and then be able to give talks on the subject at conferences and get a lot of "street cred" in the tech community for my effort than spending the rest of my life wondering if there's someone from a real-world mob out there trying to hunt me down to recover the $100M I "owe them".
They needed to beef up their revenue that's why. Facebook does the same but there is a limit on how many ads you can stuff without degrading UX. Too many ads and frustration of users rises and they leave. Luckily on YouTube you can purchase YouTube Premium and use it ad-free.
I find it a fascinating sector and like to compare it to drinking water, electricity, sewage, roads, trains, dykes, rivers etc that all require enormous mind boggling contraptions that we managed to successfully plan, build and use at affordable rates. I'm sort of offended that people seem to have forgotten what an accomplishment our ancestors made there.

JavaScript in an uncompromized browser cannot send arbitrary headers. See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Forbidden_...

Otherwise a malicious site could just forge the Origin header in the preflight request.
This is accurate and interesting. I initially thought this was incorrect from strong association with it as a flashcard system, though your technique is consistent with the definition provided on this wiki created by community members [0].

I’m curious. If you would be willing to share, could you demonstrate an example of a prompt? My learning items have almost always been questions and answers, and occasionally image occlusion (‘label this part of the diagram’) and cloze deletion (‘fill in the blank’).

There is very little short term detailed planning in an actual formal business plan. It remains very much at the strategic level and is mostly about your value proposition, your go-to market strategy and financial projections (which necessarily include market sizing). All of these things are actually part of the YC interview. I agree with OP that PG’s comment is somewhat disingenuous.
Just imagine having everyone’s localhost and whatever other development sites exist bloating the header of GitHub’s API
The OP blog references their learning resources, which include some freely available books, like https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/paulmck/perfb...
Gilgamesh did it first.

Gilgamesh encodes myths and lessons for human race with no technological access to 'immortality'.

I think mortality has a purpose within the context of life. And there's literally limitless implications it would have. To me it seems like the most inhumane pursuit conceivable

There is no purpose but what we make of it, and why it would be inhumane? It's inhumane to watch people you loved die.

Can you elaborate? I mean it's not like that a lot of authenticator or crypto is written in C
In my opinion we are bad at deciding what knowledge is important and what ought to be forgotten. I leave this to my subconscious. If I forget something that means I wasn't using it anyway, why try to artificially retain a piece knowledge?

So my strategy is to work first and learn second. When I encounter a roadblock I try o learn something new, but in most cases I then quickly forget about it soon. This might happen several times over. Once I had to learn about unix file permissions, I knew all the commands and numbers and what they meant and it all made sense. But now I only remember `chmod +x` and that there is a command named `chown`. This satisfies for my day-to-day needs and is enough so that I can re-learn the thing if necessary.

And for the general context that are important to know in detail I found that teaching is a good way to remember and reinforce. I teach a course every year and every year I am surprised how much I've forgotten. But it quickly comes back after I start preparing materials for the class.

When I was young I used to think that you can learn a thing once and then remember. Now I know that, speaking strictly for myself, this is not the case.

CAN is slow compared to Ethernet and really optimized for tiny payload sizes, so for plenty purposes the former isn't that useful. (Which is also why Ethernet is pushing into automotive)
Obviously it's real, but it's done because the expected value for the parties that do it is net positive. Again, obviously, it's like a gamble, sometimes it fails, sometimes it works "great".

But. The main point is, healthy corporations are not taken over in leveraged buyouts and whatnots. Companies that would be bankrupt soon are the targets. In that sense these raiders for their own gain what the bankruptcy proceedings does anyway.

> mergers

Yes, mergers lead to hilariously inefficient giants. And if it goes through the consolidation it manages to be more profitable than the "mergees" together. If it fails, well, eventually they'll lose market share and close, or sell of their parts, or one of the aforementioned corporate raiders does this for them, and so on.

However, many times the really big mergers are about simple oligopoly. At that point there's just no real competition between these entrenched already-giant entities. The diseconomies are already there.

When I got into college, I had a professor who was working on how internet can democratize the world. A bit after that the Arab spring erupted and a bit later it turned out that the internet could be used for repression. Being wrong ones, makes me think that we could be wrong again. The doomsday scenarios around social media and ads are like scifi distopias - they won't happen because they show up exactly when the pendulum is about to reverse. To reverse it, we just need more general awareness and a healthy discussion about the goals, problems, and solutions.
If his browser doesn't support any of the ciphers you have enabled, that's a problem with his version of Firefox and/or his default TLS library. These ciphers have been around for years and are supported by even some pretty old browsers.

Your TLS config is good for now, unless another padding oracle attack comes along and makes those CBC ciphers weak again, or some other vuln.

I think it’s the professor who cheapens her own work by seemingly counting the ways to work gender politics into everything.

Textiles, Ur, and the social structure of ancient societies are legitimate and informative fields of study. It deserves an even-handed treatment.

What if the author had an obsession with, say, democracy, or the colour red; and looked high and low for evidence of it in the world of textiles in ancient Ur. It would detract from her main work.
Go back and forth between theory and practice. If it's something practical like programing or music that means applying the techniques to make something. If it's something you can't really practice like history, that means explaining what I've learned to people. Also use a variety of material about the same subject (book + online articles + videos). Taking notes after having completed a piece of material is a form of practice. Taking notes while consuming material should be avoided, focus on the material and try to really understand it. Of course all of this is iterative.

Absolutely not a coincident that Google is proposing a protocol that allows protocol level user tracking. By making the session ticket server-initiated and not client-controlled all control is also stripped from the user.
Title is misleading, since the bug doesn't actually allow creating ETH.
Pretty sure this is referencing the $3.6B hack https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30260787 where the wife is a rapper.

Though it's pretty weird that I wasn't sure whether you were referencing geohot's (another infamous hacker, mentioned in the article) rap songs at first: https://soundcloud.com/tomcr00se

Not sure why it's a thing for prominent hackers to have aspirations to become soundcloud rappers.
Can you do it `forwards', `backwards', `inside out'? What these mean depends on what you are trying to learn.

In programming, examples would be:

• writing code and reading and understanding other people's code.

• `executing' some code with pen and paper

• translating a formal statement of an algorithm into code

• translating some code into a formal statement of the algorithm

• translating code between two languages

• implementing the same functionality in as many different ways as you can think of

In learning scales on a musical instrument:

• ascend, then descend

• descend, then ascend

• start/end on notes other than the root

• all of the above but whilst playing the scale in intervals or arpeggios

In learning the times tables, examples:

• what are the factors of 24?

• recite the multiples of 7 backwards from 70
No. Mostly watch YouTube on my TV. I don't watch shorts even when on my phone. They are just too addictive and void of any real value.

> In addition, there was a pronounced tendency for Proteus and my work practices to co-evolve — it seems doubtful that starting out with the final version of Proteus would have been useful.

I have been puzzling over this comment in his conclusion. It almost suggests the device needs to behave one way when you first get it, evolve somehow as you begin to use it a certain way. As both the user and creator of course he could add features, embellish where he found shortcomings in the ways he began to use it. The only analogy I can see for "the rest of us" is to have short-cuts for certain workflows that the eventual power-users will discover.

And (his conclusion) this was amusing:

> Common beliefs about designing products for users-that designers' intuitions aren't to be trusted, that designers are poor at predicting how a technology will be used, that iteration is an inherent part of design, that features will be used in unanticipated ways, that users are poor at articulating what they really need-carry over even to the case where the designer and the user are one.

I'm not sure if he is saying he mistrusts himself to design a thing for himself, or that others mistrust him to design a thing for himself.

It appears this work was done at Apple when they still had an "ATG" (Advanced Technology Group). For better or worse, Steve Jobs blazed in and "got rid of the egg heads" as part of his saving the company as it circled the drain. (He got rid of the campus library as well, sigh.) It seemed a bit boorish at the time, and maybe it was, but I can also see how these sorts of things were ... distractions ... while the Apple was taking on water fast and needed bailing out.

Reflecting on it a bit more, Jobs more or less replaced the Big Thinkers with Big Designers. I think Apple certainly lost some things in the fire.
A good notebook app tends towards Emacs.

I've got my own notebook app which I've been using for over 10 years and across three different jobs.

It started out with very little structure, just a persistent text box and a persistent infinite undo log. The first line of text is used as the title. No search beyond title search.

I first added structure by taking advantage of the undo log to delete blocks, "collapsing" them to a summary; I could rewind the log to recover the text if necessary, which wasn't super frequent. This made a lot of sense in the job I had at the time, where I did a lot of depth-first debugging and didn't need the maximum depth of the stack around for context once I was done with it.

In my next job, I started using it as a mix of high-level todo notes, design sketches and task implementation notes which were a mix of research and implementation steps. I didn't need a lot more structure but I did add a tool to help during yearly review, which iterated through the logs to help me plot where I'd been spending my time.

In my current job, I spend a lot more time in meetings and multi-tasking. Todos can come from anywhere - research, an implementation task, various meetings - so I switched to a sigil approach, dropping '=>' for a todo and changing it to 'x>' when done. I have a hotkey to globally find all '=>' lines. I spend a lot more time building context and I have a lot more context to build too, so I invested in incremental multi-word search (a bit like helm occur but across all notes). My notes have become even more modal. Different modes I'd like to start breaking out:

* 1:1 meeting doc; keeps information about 1:1s but also notes for context about the person

* Interviews; a templated structure around a question and a slice of time with contemporaneous note log.

* Recurring meetings; my personal notes (rather than shared meeting notes) which includes things like todos for my followup / research on context

* Bugs / tasks; what I used the notepad for originally, could do with more structure to encapsulate the 'depth then breadth' iteration through a list of tasks

* Research / document prototyping; a more outline driven model which captures some level of hierarchy

I am strongly inclined to add a sexpr reader and a simple interpreter to start capturing these modes.
Seems to me that this blog post should explain what a “shellcode” is (trying to start a process without using fork/exec or standard library APIs?) But maybe it’s written for a hacker audience that excludes me.
In the first chart in the article, JavaScript has an energy efficiency of 4.45 (impressive) but TypeScript's efficiency is 21.50?

Is it transpiling on every run or something? Anyone have some insight on this?
I'm starting to think notes should be like albums in a screensaver - short, succinct, not linked to another note, and randomly stuffed in your face.

I really enjoy sometime stopping in front of the Chromecast tv and looking at a picture from a family trip. I think a similar experience with notes will make them a lot more useful for the effort you put in to them.
In other words: ETH was an insecure blockchain and once compromised, there is no legal or operational recourse, with the implication that issues could indeed exist today. House of Cards.

Given the role of textiles in the industrial and also information revolution (Jacquard looms used the first punch cards and helped inspire Babbage’s Difference Engine), I think any historian would take it very seriously.

Also, as my sibling comment points out, weaving even made its way into the myths.

*they would lose
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.
Total speculation here, but I would guess that others at YC do look at the balance sheets etc and could/would flag any issues to Paul.
I like this project, which demonstrates Phoenix, Elixir and LiveView capabilities and also provides you a useful Kanban style development tool. It provides well organized code and a variety of useful database interaction examples.

I don't know why people are downvoting you for what has become an objectively true position to hold. In just the past 10 years, journalism has taken such a nose dive that I'm legitimately nonplussed when people take everything they read in The New York Times Company's paper, or Jeff Bezos' The Washington Post as gospel fact.

Let's not even start with Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC.

Look back just to 2014 when Rolling Stone magazine published the completely unverified, and eventually debunked story, "A Rape on Campus". It was just a load of made-up bullshit. And then other outlets started to seize on the controversy and posted their own stories. The entire story was proven false, and it also resulted in a large settlement for the accused parties involved.

People have lied since the dawn of humanity whenever it suits their needs; there's no reason to think we've significantly changed now.
The whole assumption that your ethics have a pricetag attached is faulty, it's not as if the choices were 'commit crime / get bounty'.

Giving an improvised lecture to an imagined audience in my head on a topic I am studying I find a very useful way of consolidating and systematising my understanding, and of finding gaps to be filled.
The best thing to do is not to build anything at all, if you can. This depends on what exactly you're trying to accomplish, who the target audience is, etc.

If you need something similar to a website or a store, the easiest option is to go with something like Wix (for websites) or Shopify for a store.

If you need something that's similar to a website but with a tad more complexity or with the potential to add more complexity, a good option might be a hosted WordPress site. You can start with something simple ad add a lot of comlexity via plugins or via writing your own code.

If you're looking for something fully custom, that's really not like anything else, then the easiest might be a low-code no-code tool. Haven't used many myself but that's often a good option.

Finally, if all of that fails, and assuming you need a web app (and not a desktop or mobile app), then you probably should use something like Django with Python or a similar framework for building an app, while keeping the HTML inline (as opposed to a separate React codebase or similar). Use whatever tools you know best to do this. IF you don't know anything, use whatever's the most similar to stuff you already know. (E.g. do you know Python? Use Django. Know Rails? Use Ruby).

This solution is still fairly easy, but also not exactly great for growth. My default these days is usually to start with a backend that's only there to provide an API, and a separate JS-based frontend. That's a lot more work, but most things end up there fairly quickly so usually worth just starting there.
Where can I learn/read about this topic? It seems like mysterious magic to me, and everyone is always saying everyone else is wrong.
This is true. I find I have wasted a huge amount of my time with technology for very little real reward. It is kind of like a monkey in a cage pushing a lever to get a shot of some dopamine releasing substance. I am seriously considering disconnecting the internet at home. The thought seems unfathomable on the one hand on the other how did we as a society let this anti-social, time wasting vampiric force take over so much of our lives. It truly is like the frog boiled slowly. It is true valuable and useful information can be found online, but at the end of the day so much of it just does not matter to our daily life and even good information or positive social engagement can serve as a distraction from better, more real world uses of time, like going for a hike or building a house or falling in love or planting a garden or taking care of elders.
How are you going to turn that into actual goods and services though? You'll still need to go through an exchange with KYC and AML and the IRS will still be asking questions.
