The next step is to start a software company, and hire other people to do the shit you hate.

However, that's also way harder to do, but probably more satisfying when it works if other people's experiences are to be believed.

When I was in high school, my school had really fast internet, and my house had really slow internet, so I wanted to build a relay of infrared lasers between my house and school.

I haven't figured out how to do that yet, though I am a few steps closer. Now I have plenty fast 4G everywhere I go.

I guess the moral of the story is if enough people
want the same problem solved, someone else will probably do the work.
Mark Cuban isn't doing anything Novel here, there were other pharmacies already doing this for years. My family has been using honeybee health for a couple years now and there's blink health and others (no affiliation with these companies)
It’s x100 times more powerful than the collider at CERN. 14TeV vs 1.4 PeV. To put it into context, 1 TeV is the energy a mosquito uses to fly. It doesn't sound like much, but for a particle as small as a photon it's a huge amount of energy.
MS-DOS did not run things behind the scenes in Windows 95, 98 or ME, no matter how convincing an appearance of this Windows gave. They are fully 32-bit operating systems that preferably use DOS only while booting, though they will fall back to DOS device drivers as a last resort when Windows drivers are missing.

(Arguably DOS was barely in the picture already by the time Windows 3.x's 386 Enhanced Mode came around. It is a hypervisor where DOS and Windows live in virtual machines!)
Likely orthogonal, but it wouldn't surprise me if Brian Cuban's story and battles against substance abuse served as an additional motivator.

Brian's pretty public about it. Wrote a whole (and great) book, "The Addicted Lawyer," telling his story in depth. Granted there's nothing Big Pharma in there from what I remember, but I could see me being motivated in a similar direction if a sibling had to fight that fight.
Banks are utilities at this point. They’re forced to hold massive reserves of highly liquid assets and have been regulated out of most risky business lines.
Since they're all owned by a company with an extremely polarizing public opinion, I imagine the reasons someone might not use one of them would likely double as reasons not to use the others, either.
I want to see their returns 5-8 years from now based on this new model. I've always thought of YC as the ultimate "throw spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks" type of program. Should be interesting to see how other programs respond. If nothing else, it's a GREAT time to be a founder.

If seed VCs are upset about YC's terms, they could always start sourcing deals themselves instead of depending on YC and the like to derisk their investment decisions.
"Transformers" is a general technique, comparable to "LSTM" or "attention". The details of just how much prior information about the domain you reflect in the model architecture are just as relevant, and it's not clear just how well MuseNet addresses this compared to the earlier work I mentioned above. As for JukeBox, it's trying to solve audio generation at the raw samples level, which is quite literally a complexity increase of several orders of magnitude.
Two things in this article seem bogus, and a I wonder what drives this scare mongering

First, the experts cited want us to believe a more contagious variant is possible if not likely. This seems dubious given a single droplet of exhaled moisture containing the Omicron virus can create disease

Second, there is the suggestion of a more lethal variant that spreads like Omicron— we don’t worry endlessly about other viruses we now catch mutating into something more awful, so why be so concerned about COVID- it’s never really shown itself capable of becoming more virulent- just more contagious

> The death penalty was very harsh as well. You lost like 10% (iirc) of your experience which amounted to your last level gained. Additionally, you had a 100% chance to drop your back pack slot, and a 10% chance to drop each piece of gear (helmet, weapon, shield, armor, legs, boots, ring, arrow slot). This hurt. Tears were shed.

And that's the "forgiving" version, really early on players would even drop their equipment on death.

I know a thing or two about networking and didn't really learn anything new from the article.

And I don't really like the style, but I don't feel like my expertise with networking plays much into it.

Why didn't I like it? Hmm, first of all, I skipped the italic blurb and jumped straight in. So at first I didn't know I was reading fiction. It sounded like story time, as in a story of something interesting that actually happened, and for which you may need to give a bit of context.. I don't have a great example in mind but think something like the 500-mile email (https://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html). That's the kind of story I expected I was getting into. And then I was disappointed that there was no story.

Once I got over that and looked back.. well, one obvious thing that's missing for me is motivation. “Yeah, I know that, but how?” Liz says. Why does she care? Why should I care?

I immediately got the same vibe that I get when I come across someone with an X-Y problem and they're the stubborn kind who refuse to explain why or what they're actually trying to find out. Or when I come across someone who's curious but trying to pass the burden onto someone else (kinda like a help leech except that they don't even have any concrete problem they need help with). It wouldn't be the first time I've said on IRC something like "Sorry, I don't know. If you really want me to read the kernel code for you and tell you how it works, I might do that later tonight but I figured you could satisfy your own curiosity." Someone wants to know something but there's no real motivation for the next person to care. I guess I kinda feel how I imagine Tim feels: he can guess what the OS might be doing, but he doesn't have motivation to find out more.

And then there's the fiction-fluff that doesn't really do anything for me. Liz and Tim aren't interesting, there's not much personality, and even if they had personality, there's not much reason to care; they're just random nobodies. The setting isn't interesting. I don't care if there's a coffee shop because the coffee shop also isn't a key element of the story; arguably, there are no key elements. There isn't anything exciting going on, Liz just wants to know how Linux demultiplexes TCP and UDP. So all the fluff feels superfluous and forced.

It could work if there was an interesting story. A reason to build something, a reason to find something out, a reason to poke the kernel around a bit. And in that case, you wouldn't need so much "fluff"; the narrative could support and enrich the story (explain things and continue to add motivation) rather than just pad it. Writing that sort of educative story is really hard though.
Please let me know if you find the issue; I don’t think I’m running anything complex, it’s a wholly static site.
NYT version of the game doesn't load for me on Firefox for Android unless I disable uBlock Origin. Anyone else have this problem?
Most CP/M software tried to do a lot less than MS-DOS/PC-DOS software did, which made CP/M a lot simpler and easier to manage in practice than DOS was. The vast majority of CP/M applications were purely text mode, no graphics (especially not on the screen, printer/plotter graphics was somewhat more common), no sound (except the terminal bell), only supported IO devices were floppy/hard disks, and serial IO to talk to printers/plotters/modems; they managed to get by with very limited memory (many CP/M systems only had 64KB of memory, with some of that reserved for the OS or hardware; higher-end systems with bank switching could have 128KB, occasionally even up to 512KB). If your DOS applications stuck to the same limited feature set, DOS could be about as simple.

But, people came to expect a lot more from DOS than that, and DOS' architecture had never been designed with those greater expectations in mind, so the end result was a complicated and difficult to manage mess. CP/M's architecture was fundamentally no better (indeed, DOS 1.0's architecture was just a slightly evolved copy of CP/M's): if people had tried to make CP/M do the things which late 1980s / early 1990s DOS systems were expected to do, CP/M would have turned into just as big a mess as DOS did.
I think you’re both right. Uber will eventually crash and burn spectacularly, and probably take down similar services simply by proximity. Afterwards we will miss it because it is in fact better than the average taxi service.
IIRC, a core point in early days of Prometheus was a greatly simplified system that built on some of the same ideas, but without the parts that made it into punch line of memes or a hazing ritual for new guys.

While the text based metrics aren't best, they are a reasonable compromise, and I found that it provides a good enough common interface where if needed I can change what collects from it later on.

Are there better options? SURE! I can, however, usually get my 80% of the problem solved with Prometheus integration and worry about scaling later.
I think here it is used (incorrectly) to mean “leading”.

I think we are always reaching for superlatives in our click-bait headlines.
It may be excessively optimistic, but it’s hardly unscientific or without foundation. There are animals whose biology does not age in the sense ours does, and we have done some incredible work increasing the healthy lifespan of lab rats/mice.
I don't disagree, I've wanted to switch to usb-c for a while. Several reasons. It was designed with Micro-USB 8 years ago, would have to make new molds for the new connector. (approx $20k) USB-C would fit but just barely because it is thicker. Connectors are more expensive and cables are more expensive. It includes a Micro-USB cable so we got you covered there. Bluetooth and wireless charging, and you wouldn't even need ports :)
> very unlikely a priori that a work of literature ever was the one
> sufficient condition for a change in the course of history.

That was also the message I took from the article. But this stood out;

"In a 96-page anonymously published pamphlet, The Conduct of The
Allies, Swift attacked... Swift turned the tide of debate and hastened
the end of the war."

And of course the US Constitution springs to mind.

Maybe not individual books or authors, but the necessary conditions
for literature, including the means of dissemination, freedom of
speech and, if necessary, anonymity, afford the possibility for
changing history.
Monopsony may be more technically correct. Or perhaps a different phrasing like "market controller". Ultimately though words can evolve. And overly narrow terms can expand.
You allow scripts on sites that require them, as needed. Maybe you allow a few big domains like cloudfront.

Let's use CNN as an example. I load their mobile site with scripts blocked, and I see a menu with links that lead to mostly-broken news sections.

So I allow scripts from cnn.com, and the frontpage loads normally. The links work, and I can even see the puppy bowl headline's gif.

When I check which sites were blocked from loading JavaScript, there are 20 domains: ads-twitter.com, adsafeprotected.com, bounceexchange.com, casalemedia.com, cnn.io (probably okay?), cookielaw.org, etc...

Most modern sites have dependencies that don't really seem necessary. Social media, ad networks, telemetry...whatever those sites want to do, I don't really need it to read a news story.
Scale - How Cloud Computing took over the World.

(This is describing a book that would be interesting to read).

Chapter 1 - Cobol on the Mainframe

A description of how the world's financial infrastructure ran on mainframes from the 1970s onward.

Chapter 2 - The rise of the Internet

A quick description of the take off the internet and how companies would scale on the internet. Ops teams of hundreds and Solaris machines in data centers.

Chapter 3 - Containerization, Virtualisation and Separation of process/progams

The technological routes of virtualisation and containerisation, from the Mainframe to jails to containers.

Chapter 4 - Scaling by the majors

A description of Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and others scaled their own operations in the early 2000s.

Chapter 5 - Selling Scale

Heroku and then the birth of AWS.

Chapter 6 - Everyone in the Cloud

The growth of Cloud Computing with AWS, Azure, GCP, OCP, Hetzner, Digital Ocean etc, etc.
A hammer that doesn't fit your hand can do the same job but it will cost you a lot more in effort, pain, and misplaced strikes. One that fits your hand, arm, shoulder, and body will be a tool you can use for hours without fatigue and without inaccuracy.

Imagine typing on a chiclet keyboard 8 hours a day. With EDLIN. Thats what its like to try using a tool that doesn't fit.
"Hey, this is Unix. I know Unix!"
I specifically wrote a starter kit/framework to solve this problem -- at least for me, and hopefully for others: https://nodewood.com/

Since you'll be running JavaScript in the browser, it also uses Node.js for the backend. This allows you to use the same code for validation, business logic, etc, and it specifically has multiple patterns to encourage this.

It's all one bundle that you run locally (or on one machine in production, or two if you want to split out the DB, which I'd recommend). By default, it uses Docker to run locally, but I've included instructions to run it on bare-metal, if you choose. For subscriptions, I use Stripe, but I mean you gotta use _someone_ for that, and I found their API to be easiest to work with, and thus modify.

I specifically built it so that I wouldn't have to keep re-creating the wheel when I wanted to try out a new SaaS idea as just one person, so it should work just fine for someone who doesn't want to require a team, but it should also work well for people who do want to scale to teams: one of the core components is that you break up work into "features" which are directories that repeat the common subdirectories (api, lib, ui) and make it easy to keep commonly-used code together.

Full docs are available publicly on the site, and if you have any questions, I'm more than happy to answer!
Since superset, metabase and redash was mentioned, I'll share some development insights regarding these OSS projects. Note, I've never used these solutions before, so I can't speak to their quality, but I can speak to how active and invested they appear to be.

Looking at recently merged pull requests that were less than 120 days old, apache/superset had 89 unique authors, which is very high, as the following shows:

https://oss.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=pull-age%3A%3C%3D...

Metabase had 37 authors, which is also quite high for an opensource project, which the following shows:

https://oss.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=pull-age%3A%3C%3D...

And redash has 11, but most of the contributions were more than 28 days ago, and is significantly less active than metabase and superset as the following shows:

https://oss.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=pull-age%3A%3C%3D...

I was actually quite surprised by superset, as I never heard of them before, but they are backed by serious investment (https://preset.io/about/), which clearly shows in how active their repository is.
If you're in a situation where encryption matters to you, you're in a situation where the identity of the remote end ought to matter to you as well. If someone's able to snoop the traffic between you and the remote end, it's dangerous to assume they won't also be able to MITM you.
Reminds me of the conflict between German farmers and the Goverment over whether or not wolves should be a protected species. Plenty of city-dwellers support all forms of biodiversity, as long as somebody else has to deal with the mess.

No, it is not true. You must pay to release any app on either store. Google charges a one-time $25 fee, Apple charges $100 per year.

You may release a free app with no advertisements. In fact, that is the easiest configuration, since charging for the app means setting up payment information. And including ads means payment information and integrating ad serving code into your app. It is not "built in" on either platform.

Ethereum Layer1 should be only for storing meta data and provide trust and arbitration when necessary.
Because K8s, while commonly deployed on the cloud, is more of a "local cloud operating system" that you use to marshall a bunch of resources into "cloud" (and finalizing TPRs into CRDs really made it shine).

To the point that k8s is base operating system for... Chick-Fil-A restaurants, deployed locally, controlling the industrial kitchen hardware.
It will be hard for a lot of US media making deals with European advertisers to claim they’re not intended for use by European residents, though.
Specifically the ST7735, 128x128 color LCD (available in IPS too) using SPI, it goes plenty enough. Should be able to max out the display, perhaps not at full color depth, but good enough. Still learning that platform though, I tried last year but there wasn't enough resources for noobs like me. Messed around with ESP32 earlier but it's power draw is too high: https://community.arduboy.com/t/micro-arcade-reverse-enginee...
> Is YC a Monopoly?

I can get money anywhere. YC just happens to be a good option with lots of resources.

> Monopoly just increasingly seems to mean any successful company that changes its pricing structure.

I can only reach Americans with my software over web, App Store, or Play Store, and since most Americans only own one device (iPhone or Android) and web on iPhone is crippled, that means I'm stuck with App Store for reaching 50% of consumers. This opts me into the 30% tax, the review straight jacket, and forced buy in to the life-draining Apple ecosystem (no customer relationship, can't deploy when I need to, etc). I have no power here.

Of Apple and YC, one of these is clearly a monopoly, the other is not.
“ People always ask, well why didn't somebody do this before? The reality is there's so much money there, it's hard not to be greedy," Mr. Cuban said on the podcast. "If you get to any scale at all, those PBMs will start throwing money at you and saying, 'Look, just play the game.'" - Isnt this price fixing? AKA an illegal activity in the States?
That's a cheap shot as the highend has long lead time, but the momentum hasn't died, it has only picked up. Personally I have more RISC-V embedded silicon than I have a count on, but of "application class" (= 64-bit with MMU that can run Linux), I have many boards that spans three completely distinct design origins and backing companies. And it's a multinational mix.

The growth of RISC-V will come from the innovation that the freedom allows. Literally anyone looking to design their own core from scratch will consider RISC-V and many have chosen it (Rivos, Tenstorrent, Esperanto Technologies, Alibaba, and many others I forgot).

EDIT: typos
Counterpoint is that the Big Design Up-Front utopia didn't win in software, giving rise to Agile (for better or worse).

Vaadin is interesting, and choice of java is ok (though I prefer Kotlin).

But raw jdbc in 2022 is absolutely bonkers. If you don't prefer ORMs that's ok, but a light abstraction like SQLDelight or Spring data jdbc (if you prefer working with SQL) or a query builder like jOOQ (if you like type-safety) can make your life simpler by an order of magnitude.
Paywalled. Why? The drug matter isn’t there? There are duff components included with the proper drug matter? The pill colour and logo are wrong?

The patent and the countries drug agency describes how to make the thing. Once off patent this becomes a recipe. Harder for biologics, though. Note that many of the patented drugs are made off shore using outsourced chemistry and materials.
The MFN clause can’t be considered more competitive against other seed and angel investors.

True, but storing the IP address server-side for purposes other than serving the HTTP request doesn't fall under (b).

Diagnostic logging (e.g. apache logs) is probably okay as long as the organization can show that these logs are destroyed in a reasonable timeframe, but FAFAIK even that is legally a gray area (in the sense that it isn't explicitly forbidden nor allowed).

HAG has the Capisco, which I've eyed. There are also kneeling chairs, they tilt the pelvis forward, they can be had cheaply, but I'd hate to buy one just to throw it out. Of course there are the ball based chairs and such.

I sit seiza-style on my chair currently to enforce good posture by tilting the pelvis, but it's taxing after a while, and it took me a long time to adjust to seiza, I use a standing desk in complement.

I think you may have misunderstood: Denisovich is pretty much all about his life (as the title says, a day thereof) in a Gulag. Perhaps a page or three of more general musings at the very end. And that's all there is to it, The End, nothing more after that -- it is just "the gulag part".

What you should skip, as I read the recommendation, is The Gulag Archipelago, a separate multi-volume (at least a trilogy, maybe much more) epic about the Gulag system in general and, I gather (but may be wrong) more explicitly based on Solzhenitsyn's own life therein. FWIW, I agree with this recommendation.
