They have a chance to get ahead if they add full blown Windows in docked mode for their new surface phones since they're running android anyway. Yes, DeX and co exist but no one wants to use them because for the mass majority Desktop = Mac or Windows and not full screen android with a taskbar slapped on it. Having a proper desktop with the same documents and files from your phone with a single USB C connection could finally lower the friction enough for docking phones to become a mainstream thing. Combine that with natively passing through the actual android apps from the device into the VM, you can potentially get a no-compromise experience. But who knows, maybe I'm the only one who gets too excited about tinkering with weird setups like this and it's not actually ergonomic for everyday use
TBH I also got a bit of a vibe of how the author seemed a bit whiny. But Amazon/Bezos has how many trillion dollars? He could afford a "well-being fund" and it wouldn't even hurt. But I guess that manager wasn't going to change Amazon, his job was to make his numbers look good and this depressed guy with a dying wife was making his job hard.

There's a story about a Valve employee who got a paid extended leave when he got an illness:

> In 2004, Wolpaw was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Expecting his condition to require a departure from the company, he spoke with managing director Gabe Newell, who surprised him by offering an extended leave with pay. "Your job is to get better," Newell said. "That is your job description at Valve. So go home to your wife and come back when you are better."

Twitter bought them for the devs and shut the project down. I just thought it was a very interesting project and even though it’s 10 years old I don’t think I’ve seen any DB tool that allows you to dynamically change the data modal like this
Many gliders and helicopters have yaw strings. Airplanes don’t, because they usually have a slip/skid indicator which tells you the same thing.

But once you’ve been flying a while, you don’t really need it, you can feel it.
I think you are combining a few things in order to say (essentially) "You're antiquated" – which is fair, but let's tease those apart for a bit:

> Yeah, and IRC is the best web chat. We kept hearing that myopic old-school-dev-centered view on things for ages. What did it result in? People now beg FOSS projects not to use Discord (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29712098)

I...don't see how this negates my worldview exactly. Yes, Discord is cool-looking and easy to get started with; and IRC has quite a few problems since time immemorial. This does not negate the fact that Discord is a proprietary platform that can eat your data and show you the door at any second, which is precisely why people are begging FOSS projects to not use it.

> No, they aren't going to tinker with setting up an FTP server...<link to curlftps comment>

I think you might have overlooked the part of my comment where I select email precisely because it uses boring old technology that is already available as native applications. No one has to install FTP servers to use email, they simply have to use their existing email setup. Guess what you also have to use to reset your Discord password -- that's right, email.

> After all of that happening can we at least agree that email is not a good substitute for Reddit?

Overall, you appear to be replying to a comment I didn't make -- something like "Just set up an email list and an IRC server, it's real easy!". On the contrary, I don't think any of these things are easy, I recognize that Discord and other proprietary platforms have significant UX advantages. But I am suggesting we make an effort to highlight their risks as well, and focus on improving the UX of open platforms if we don't want our data to be easily locked up in walled gardens.
This is my learning strategy which originally posted on [1]:

I have created a learning framework for myself to learn literally anything. First of all It’s not going to be easy to get started learning something new because there are many holes in your mental model about the material and the aim of the learning is to fill those holes. We’re living in an information era. You can drawn yourself in surfing the web/docs/articles if you are some kind of perfectionism to convince yourself that you’re learning. But that’s the trap. You should spend about 30-40% of your time learning the material and 60-70% of your time applying it and then under the process you’ll find: “Oh I don’t know how or what is X” then you go to learn about X specifically. This works best. In other words as you will be applying what you have learned so far you start “learning on demand”. In other words filling the individual holes. This loop will force you to learn the topic.

I am building a tool that might satisfy some of your wants (the alpha is not completely ready yet).

It is code based, but everything else is taken care of including the UI which is auto-generated from your script parameters/signature in Python.

It's maybe worth mentioning that the beams at CERN are made of quite a few particles and there was as much energy in the beam as in a high speed train (and same in the magnets), before the high luminosity upgrade. The beam dumps are massive pieces of graphite and concrete with water cooling.

Also at these energies the wavelength is very small so the energy can be quite concentrated in a small region of space-time.

> He was able to make a profit during the decline in market prices which began at the end of 1929, having been bearish at the time.

Well, yes, that might have informed his lessons from trading. There's another saying in the opposite direction, "never try to catch a falling knife". https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/scpwps/ecbwp1545.pdf

But it's not an unreasonable approach. Declines are often driven by panic. If you can determine that it's an irrational panic and the fundamentals of the business remain strong, then you can invest while it's undervalued. It's certainly better than buying just after something has gone _up_.

No he doesn't, you reach the wrong conclusion.

It is more similar to a birthday calendar reminder.

HFT is irrelevant, those firms basically compete with themselves and there's really not all that much money in it anyway. They're just providing liquidity and can basically be ignored 99% of the time.
I said nothing at all about syntax; of course it has syntax.

Does Tcl have a grammar? There is a distinction and it is not irrelevant; you will run into the consequences of it.

Markdown has syntax -- but no official grammar. I would not (sorry Mr Gruber) grant Markdown the privilege of being called a language in the same breath as even HTML. Markdown is a syntax looking for a grammar.

So is Tcl. So the definition of Tcl is "what the Tcl interpreter can parse". Like the Apache config file "format" is defined only by what Apache can parse.

(Curious to be downvoted for expressing what was -- twenty five, twenty years ago -- quite a big deal in scripting language circles. Tcl's lack of a grammar up against Scheme, Lisp, etc., was a point of some contention. Either way it is precisely why sane developers do not use Tcl.)
This use case would be possible if Google didn't explicitly disable USB-C video output: https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/03/pixel-4-has-usb-vid...

(As far as I'm aware, they still do this on Pixel 6.)

I already use my laptop as a desktop when I'm at home by connecting it to a USB-C hub, which in turn connects it to my monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. I think the smartphone as a "single device which can be used for everything" is a cool concept and definitely possible considering how powerful modern smartphones are. The limitation is software.
Clearly the value of business being sold is not dependent on the application of standardized programming approaches to quality.

I mean, who would even think it is?

There are also alternative approaches to achieving quality, and there was that report/"study" circulating around that claimed Team Software Process actually beats most agile/extreme programming methodologies in at least one metric (or two: defect rate and time to completion, IIRC). Of course, none of the actual "agile" development teams do clear-cut TDD or Extreme Programming either, so you are never comparing apples-to-apples.

As a corollary, I'd also say that neither does the UI or UX matter that much to success, and there are simply a bunch of intangibles that can make or break a product.

But one "tangible" thing is that you've got to be serving some customers' needs, and need to continue to do that. And rare are businesses which have a need of "my button needs to be rounded and 10px away from the next button" or "my code needs to be unit tested": those are actually "my customer can get their work done through my product" and "it should rarely break".

None of this means that you should not invest in pretty/functional UI/UX or well-tested code. Just don't expect that to mean much in the grand scheme of things. They will affect your ability to hire top-level people once you are an established business, though.

(I personally am too attached to "high-quality" [as in well tested] code and would struggle to kick off a start-up for that reason only, even though ideas keep popping up :)
> Right now with the world of crypto is confusing to the average guy, so hopefully in the future someone will create a good UX and the underlying to protocol for instant decentralised payments.

So... Napster and LimeWire?

You can't break cryptocurrency's weakness for this kind of adoption without dropping decentralization. Same conclusion that iTunes came to. People wanted downloadable music, not a specific implementation detail about how that music is delivered.
> The community, and how the gameplay has changed over the years. In the "olden times", the main focus of the game was the social aspect. There were limited hunting grounds, so people spent their time hanging around and talking, building houses out of boxes and parcels, coming up with games. I recently picked the game back up - now everything feels like it's hyper-optimized for grinding, and that old social aspect feels gone. I find it fascinating - though also a bit sad.

Seems like a good analogy to human society and the results of late-stage-capitalism.
It really sounds like him to just build his own website. He's an unusual guy and a fantastic and well-deserved champion.

A bit of background for those unfamiliar with speed skating: the field is completely dominated by Dutch skaters. Last Friday, Netherland was 3rd in the number of medals (since overtaken by the US, I just noticed), and all of them are for speed skating. I don't think there's any country where speed skating has so professionalised as here. And that's what Nils van der Poel had to go up against, on his own.

From what I understand, he and silver medalist Patrick Roest are long-time rivals, even during youth championships often coming first and second. Van der Poel came in second a lot, quit skating twice, and if the Dutch media is to be believed, rejoined the Swedish army in the toughest unit they have, in order to mentally train himself to be able to do the physical training necessary to win. After he left the army, his physical training was extreme. I don't know much about top sports, but Dutch top skaters seem to be in awe of his training regimen.

The guy's a legend. Shame he's quitting skating. I wonder if he'll be back. Or he's just going to excel at something else. It sounds to me like he honed himself to the point he can succeed at anything he puts his mind to.
Disregarding the correctness of its thesis article will be used by opponents of vaccinations.
one more .... the game had containers ... backpacks, boxes, ... naturally you could put packpacks into packpacks into boxes into ... :)

a guy I knew who also did alot of duping in the early days of the game once told me that he had so many items in his "depot" (kind of a bank where you could store stuff savely) that loading his depot content into memory froze the game for seconds when he opened his bank inventory.
No. Same thing with cloning. It's not you.

They definitely haven't. The paper I think you're alluding to showed that monkeys picking 30 random stocks from a 1000 stock universe performed better than a capitalisation-weighted index of the 1000 stocks. However the former will obviously have greater exposure to small-cap stocks, which were known to outperform the bigger stocks.
true. I don't need better tools for thought, I honestly need better thoughts. I always wonder what kind of Da Vinci levels of output some people have to have to make use of all these tools. The most sophisticated thing I get any use out of is a pile of markdown files

It's the same with hyper-optimized keybinding editor setups. I'd need to be able to think and type about four times faster before some of the things I've seen would make any meaningful difference.
Bids and asks are making bold predictions about the current value of an asset. If they are wrong then anyone can enter the market and make a profit. Bid/ask of 99.90/100.10 means that the true value of the asset is between 99.90 and 100.10, because if it was really worth $100.20 someone would come in and buy up all the offers through $100.19 (give or take a bit for risk management, fees, and minimum profit targets). Usually what happens though in these markets is that the bid/ask is $95/$105 and true value is something like $101 but no buyer wants to pay a $4 spread and no seller wants to pay a $6 spread, so no trades happen. The last price could be $90 from back when the asset was $90/$100 true value around $95 and someone really needed to get out and was willing to pay (or didn’t know).
This is terrible. If this is in a professional setting, use a CRM. If you put your friends in a "CRM" with SLAs a and reminders to "touch base" ... you don't have friends.

He's also known to show up with signs encouraging his direct rivals, who aren't quite sure how to respond to that. Might be because of the camaraderie he's looking for.

There are a lot of people I care about, but sometimes you just _forget_. Or you remember, but it's too late to call them, or they're in a bad time zone, or they mostly use FB and you hate FB.

Just to add a bit of constructive criticism if I may. I think the presentation on your site and especially in the screenshots is an overload of color and busy graphics to the point that it is very hard to look at let alone decipher any of the text. I think I'd be much more interested in digging deeper if the UI in the screenshots was toned down and had a comfortable level of contrast so that the text was legible. Also the demo visuals themselves for the most part feel like completely random splashes of objects and colors. Working with an artist on some demos could really help.

Lastly the site mentions a programming language but I didn't find a single example or any documentation. Maybe it is there somewhere but I couldn't find it after a couple minutes of searching. I am on an iPhone though, and there was at least one navigation item at the top that was cut off, maybe more?

It sounds like an interesting project so I'd love to see you get some more engagement / traction. Good luck!

In a free market it will be unlikely to have many poor people, as they will see the reality and settle where they are truly productive. Parents care about their children (even if you don’t think so) and reliable education will be offered to them. Fire department can be arranged by neighborhoods, nobody wants their house burning down, or very high insurance payments. Remember how much resources governments waste, they will all get cheaper, how much they tax, people will get way richer.

And yes, I believe everyone will be better off with free markets, otherwise i’d be a commie too. It’s not that I don’t care about others. I care more than most do. I see they working jobs that are not necessary, or governments destroying their purchasing power.

Fortunately I am doing pretty well, even with after the money government takes, and if I was evil or not compassionate I wouldn’t advocate for change, but rather take advantage of current system and move to the side that benefits from peoples diminished value of work. It would be way easier for me.
Why do you think so? I think it's the opposite. With little capital you have way more opportunities in medium/small/micro caps while someone like Warren Buffet has limited pool of possible investments as you can't pour billions into 100m company.
Some people can’t express and maintain relationships like other people but still like their friends. Having a system which can make my friends feel that I value them (which I do, but find difficult expressing) helps some people maintain a semblance of a social life.
It's not just software issues. It's a 1200$ phone with 30 gigs of drive space, 3 gigs of ram and a 720×1440 screen.

not to mention, from the thread you linked:

"About 2600 L5's have been delivered, so everyone who ordered before October 2017 should have gotten their phones. Purism reportedly just got in another 1100 L5's from the factory, so when those get shipped out, that should cover the orders up to mid-2018."

I mean you can't be serious. People paid almost a grand to wait four years for a phone?
Oh wow, I haven't thought of Tibia in years. I used to play it with a few friends. I was always interested in code but never touched the LUA side of Tibia, whereas my friend who was very much not into code dived head first into it and ran some servers for us.

> So instead he needs a tool to remind him of that "friend" he needs to contact, because pretending to care is beneficial. One might some day need them.

Regardless whether Dunbar's number is real or not, one cannot have "hundreds" of actual friends. So we're not really talking about friendships here, but about maintaining a network of contacts - or acquaintances at best - and that type of relationship is usually mutually based on the premise that "One might some day need them", there's nothing wrong about approaching it that way. And even though you're not super close, keeping in touch regularly is very important aspect of keeping your social ring alive. I'm too lazy and disorganized to approach it the way the author describes, but I totally see how it can be a beneficial socializing strategy in long terms.
Not an incredible help, but I’m Canadian and married to a vascular surgeon. I have never seen a public list but their procedural billings go through a web application of some sort to the Ministry of Health (Ontario).

The Ministry of Health of whatever province you’re in may be a help.
I live in Germany and its the same. Not that that's a good thing. People here are old-fashioned and still believe in "Concrete gold."

Fact is, as soon as you've got a meaningful amount of wealth, you're going to want to invest it so you can either get income from it or grow the principal. It could be in a home, multiple properties, or the stock market.

> People I have known in the past (old people) didn't do stock market either. They all seem to have lived a normal life (decent jobs, decent house, decent family). Nothing extravagant but they got enough money to be "happy" in life.

No offense but you're going to have a tough time comparing to a boomer in terms of wealth generation and building if you're a millenial. I know people who got houses handed to them for very cheap 30-40 years ago, and those houses are worth tremendous amounts of money now. On top of that they have good pensions and insurance from a long time ago. Or they have a rental contract where they're paying 1/3rd of their neighbors so their expenses are low.

There's a great income and wealth divide in Europe between the haves and the have nots, and the haves are very good at keeping their wealth and passing it down to their heirs. Meanwhile in most European countries, punitive taxation makes it extremely difficult to move up in social class, even from middle class to upper middle class.
Too bad the sociopathic ultra-capitalists do not realise that a happy, well-rested worker with a good work/life balance is a productive worker.

I bet Amazon would be profitable enough with a 5-day, 6-hour work week and much better benefits and vacation time, but since that makes them not as profitable as they can be by using slave labor...

I assume you have good intentions, but your post is severely lacking. One crucial thing with this strategy is time. WHEN is the time to buy a falling stock? While it is falling? Or when it is rasing again? Are we talking intraday or months?

On a long enough time frame, every company will go extinct and every stock will go to zero.

And your post is in direct contradiction of two other common stock insights:

- Don’t catch a falling knife

- The market is efficient. If a stock price goes down, there is probably a reason for it.
