This makes sense about moving your active attention to different object(ive)s. I think I slowly stopped doing "active" multitasking and switched to this low-attention multi-tasking once my burn-out got worse. FWIW: I don't think multi-tasking on its own caused the burn-out either, it was a combination of a few things probably.

How normalized emotional and physical abuse and neglect is in families would absolutely shock you then, as well as the outcomes.

Memory can also be statically reserved in a binary, like the .data section in x86 asm. IIRC (tell me if I'm very wrong) Emscripten malloc works by reserving a large buffer up front and then managing pointers to (parts of) it. Otherwise, you can allocate memory buffer dynamically from JS[1] and pass the pointer to it to the WASM. Obviously, you can do this in response to the request coming from WASM, but you don't have to.

Correction: "How we thought wewere a few days away from being settled from life"

A healthy dose of pessimism helps a lot in cases like this. Getting your hopes up does nobody any good. Leave the money out of it, and treat it like any other customer transaction. When the money actually comes, then you have something to talk about :)
The point IMVHO should, must be: did you work to live or did you live to work? Work is needed, not just because of the actual society but because even with the most advanced automation we need countless of thing that demand manual/brain work, that's is. But we live to live, not to work.

So we should and must work to obtain what we need and want, a certain safety etc, more than that is illogical. Some might like their work so doing it is a pleasure and for them work hard means being satisfied and that's perfectly fine, however there is still a need to craft a life, because while we live in a society we need a family, friends, kids etc not just colleagues and services.

The above, at philosophical level for the whole society have issues, for instance since we have evolved enough to reduce natural selection by a big extent we need to learn to regulate our reproduction to satisfy both individual desire and social needs in resources terms, like avoiding being too much to been able to live or too little to make the species on the brink of extinction but that's an a bit loose thing for individuals, just well studied incentives or disincentives likely suffice leaving individuals with significant willingness free to decide. Family and friend however are still a need, arriving at 80 alone at home and then go to a old people's home is not that nice for most, for instance. Being able to organize a party with people we like is part of our life, we are social animals and reduce themselves to "make a neighbor party" it's not good either. The rest is life.
People also setup timers for lights in their homes. I’ve never understood this. I’m know famous rabbis have found ways to justify this so the orthodox do this, but to me it just feels like you’re cheating the system. Or we just need to redefine what work is.

But leavened bread? It doesn’t seem as abstract to define as “work.”
It is.

Loan industry operates on “victim blaming” philosophy. If you give money to someone who could not afford the loan you are on the hook. That’s reasonable.

China has been engaged in a multi-decades long project of import substitution slowly moving up the value chain that is coming close to completion. There is almost nothing the US makes that China cant make too now.

At the same time they have been exporting cheap goods to the US which the US has become slowly accustomed to. Treasury purchase operations were an integral part of discounting these goods by artificially pushing down the value of the yuan. I suspect theyll try to keep this up more or less indefinitely until something snaps - they get slowly stronger and the US gets slowly weaker.

It has led to the US slowly deindustrializing and relying more and more upon artificially competitive Chinese imports.

The key feature of this strategy is the destruction of US industrial ecosystems through systematic, persistent undercutting. This is something the US tolerates because A) the frog is being boiled slowly B) US corporates have the same relationship with short term profits that an addict has with crack. In a way it's similar to the alliance the US made with the first batch of the post USSR oligarchs.

It takes 15-20 years give or take to build or destroy an industrial ecosystem while a currency can collapse in hours.

So yes, the strategy is very much like zheng he - service the US oligarchy's addiction to profit for a few decades before finally pulling out the rug and leaving the US to realize that it making an iPhone in the US will cost $3000 and you're actually all rather poor now.

It's metaphor about how to manage your career, nothing more.

The point of the metaphor is to not depend upon your current employer to manage your career for you. If you do, they will inevitably manage your career to suit their own interests, not yours.

I follow the parent poster's advice in part because I have kids. I manage my career to serve my personal success so that I can care for those who depend upon me.

Not all of life is one big spreadsheet of assets and liabilities; just those things that are relevant to my career growth.

> successful business means paying customers

In the startup world, founders have been taught that "success" means things other than making money, such as large "valuations" that are not tied to profit or even revenue.

Another founder "success" is VC or angel funding, or getting on some list ("top founders under 30!") or media coverage.

"Exit" is also a "success" even if the sale is underwater or not worth much.

> You could also say they didnt identify how to make money.

For a time, there was a school of thought that as long as you had incredible growth/usage for your app or service, making money wasn't important because someone would buy you.

I recently got my kids playing Trackmania to help their eye hand coordination. It operates on the freemium model but the free version is adequate enough since there are enough tracks every season and enough previous seasons available to keep them engaged during daily video game time. You can also download user created tracks (or create your own!) and addons that keep things interesting. Hopefully ubisoft doesn't switch this to the loot box model, once you start adding incentives and milestones, that's when things start getting addictive.
In the 90s in Manhattan, almost everything was closed on Sunday until the evening. When I asked our hotel receptionist about it, she said, "It's so everyone has enough time to read the New York Times Sunday Edition". I'd like think that's apocryphal but as a teen at the time I believed it.

It stood out to me because in California most everything was open on Sundays. So it seemed to be more of an East Coast thing.

My first thought was "you know who would want this? Insurance companies!"
Doctor have a moral incentive -- often a strong one! -- to maximize your health, but they actually don't have the economic incentive to keep you healthy. Their incentives are similar to those of drug companies.
But insurance companies want you to need as little care as possible. They are the ones who will sponsor your checkups, may encourage you to exercise, etc. They also tend to have some sway over healthcare providers, or at least an ability to offer helpful information. And they have loads of money. Your operational costs should be peanuts to them. My insurance company (in Europe) offer me a free hotline of 24/7 medical workers for asking minor health questions, because they want to make sure I stay healthy, and the operational cost of that staff is probably way beyond what you need. Abd private insurance companies compete on customer features, so it could actually be a selling point for them to lock up customers, who tend to stick around for a long time.

I realize I'm a total armchair advisor here and what the hell do I know. But reading how this person approached potential customers I kept thinking "oh man I wonder what will happen when he talks to the insurance companies, why would they not be interested?"

I am not a biblical historian, but I do remember this bit from school: The point of eating bitter herbs and unleavened bread is not because yeast is alive or anything to do with animal vs plant or modern scientific methods (as I initially related it to not eating meat on Fridays for catholics), it is to sympathize/empathize/experience the struggles of early judaic ancestors when they were made to leave, and did not have but the scarcest resources while they traveled.
The 'mark of the beast' is, if I'm not incorrect, a fictional idea that is (perhaps intentionally) incredibly easy to generalize with.

>Really the whole debate is mostly scientism: nuclear power didn't lose because it was too dangerous. It lost because it is too expensive. These days, it's still too expensive, but now it also just takes too long for it to be useful for the climate emergency.

It's expensive because Chernobyl caused the whole world to develop cold feet. Innovation stopped and funding for nuclear dried up after 2-3 accidents. Solar and wind were super expensive (vis-a-vis coal or gas) in 2010 and before compared to 2022 and people were railing against solar for that reason alone. But only a decade later, the cost has fallen by an order of a magnitude, making it far more practical and a valuable source of energy because society invested money and resources to bring the cost down.

Imagine having 3 children and lavishing all your attention and resources on two of them, leaving one to fend for itself and then turning around and saying that the aloof one has no talent, skills and is basically a burden on the society.

Nuclear is not a panacea but railing against the technology because humans goofed up, then refused to pay more attention and do things correctly in the future is an irrational stance.
I have gone through periods of social awkwardness and the opposite- social confidence. It absolutely has everything to do with my own perception and opinion of myself- my self-confidence. Duh, right?

What makes you confident? The answer, for me at least, is "feeling like I'm good at the thing that matters."

I was awkward in middle school- I didn't understand the general social dynamic. I was "too smart" and didn't fit in. In high school I started working out, started going to parties, suddenly realized that the opposite sex was attracted to me, too- and became very confident.

I was therefore confident in college... but became awkward halfway through. I wasn't making good grades in my EE courses- I had never learned how to study! I was now the opposite of "too smart". I started smoking too much weed and became reclusive. I went through a number of girlfriends and hurt some friendships. I was now back to being awkward.

This didn't change until I graduated and got a job. At that point I was probably the MOST awkward I have ever felt. I didn't know what I was doing at work (electric utility). I was losing touch with friends. I broke up with my long-term girlfriend. This all changed when... yep, you guessed it, I got good at work. I also met an amazing woman (who I am now married to) who really helped me build my emotional intelligence. I am now confident in my life.

So what I've learned, for me at least, is my confidence is a function of if I'm thriving in the environment I find myself in. If you are in a toxic environment- get out. If you're not fit for your environment- get good. I really do think it is just that simple.
I would actually love to see a full, from-scratch rewrite of Windows. I'm not sure if it's ever been done before, but it definitely feels like it hasn't.

The USA is, by definition, the first world. First world means, USA or it's NATO allies.

The second world is USSR and associated allies.

The third world is everyone else. Implying they are too insignificant to be allied to either. Which isn't necessarily the case. Finland and Sweden are technically "third world" countries, as they are not NATO members.
39 for the dual attack on Poland and Britain

and 42 for US involvement after Pearl Harbor

no mention of the financial support of specific sides for years before either date

In my experience they cover rise of national socialist germany, like stuff in 1932 like reichstag fire, night of broken glass

Very piecemeal and as a chronology after WW1 but not sure what level of detail is really relevant

The main parallel i could see is that the russia military advances on ukraine wouldnt be a US start date of the conflict and that it wont be over in months but maybe we’ll get an official start date in 3-5 years

The other parallel is that I always noticed it was a choice to protect nations you promised to protect, britain could have just … not backed poland, and a preemptive attack on the british to slow British retaliation maybe wouldn’t have occurred or could have been talked out of. Two months ago that would have been seen as “edgy”, but yeah nobody wants to actually back ukraine so looks like people were thinking it for some time.
Yeah at my current company it's at leadership discretion. My group is permanent remote, but some of my companion groups are being forced back to the office.

Our pay across the board is dogshit though, and we're bleeding devs but the company won't let management pay what's needed to retain people.

On that note, if anyone's looking for a senior/staff full stack swe with 5 years of react plus a whole bunch of other stuff, let me know. Please.

> I don't think there's any way to 'solve' NFTs in games right now: A true NFT can be moved anywhere on an open network (monkey jpeg receipts, etc), but a game-related NFT needs to be constrained to those users who play the game, otherwise it's even more useless.

Agree totally. NFTs for games make quite literally no sense. You are buying an asset or whatever from a central authority (the developer/publisher) that only exists or makes any sense within their game/platform/ecosystem. What value could a token bring there? The only value add I could see is that your ability to buy and sell the asset is now out of the hands of the publisher... except it isn't since they still control access to the asset and can therefor constrain your use of it in any way they see fit.

This is really a problem with most of the NFT related ideas floating around. Once a central authority is involved your token ceases being meaningful and just becomes, like you said, an ID in a database somewhere.
>If you can meet these expectations in fewer hours than you are supposed to work, then you shouldn't just find more to do. Instead you should do something different.

This one really struck home for me. I will often quickly finish a task like refactoring a class heirarchy, then I will spend another 3 hours looking at it and the surrounding code to check for any unoptimal usages. But it always turns out to be a waste of time, because we have much bigger things on the backlog. Thanks for reminding me.
Show HN: Neverinstall 2.0 - The browser is the new operating system
Hello HN community!

We’re excited to announce that today, we are coming out of Beta with the launch of neverinstall 2.0.

Over the past year we’ve been testing and developing the platform, adding new features and functionalities and listening to what you said.

What is neverinstall?

neverinstall is a cloud platform that allows you to run any application from the browser without installing it on your device. It is an alternative to traditional desktop application usage and enables people to stream applications over the web.

Here’s what’s new at neverinstall:

No time restrictions

We’ve updated our platform and removed time restrictions on usage. We now offer subscription plans with a flat monthly fee based on the desired resource requirement of the user.

Subscriptions

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve now launched our subscription plans. Users can subscribe to a Standard or a Premium plan to access higher compute, memory and faster build times. However, the free tier remains unchanged with unlimited usage and unrestricted access to all apps.

A brand new UI

We’ve optimised the platform and changed the UI for improved access, better visibility of the workspaces and higher performance. Data Saver Mode The platform now offers a data saver mode to allow users with lower internet speeds or limited usage quotas to reduce their data consumption by up to 50%. Mobile Portrait Mode We now support both landscape as well as portrait mode for mobile usage of neverinstall, adding more flexibility to the platform. Support for new apps We’ve added more apps on our platform, including new design tools such as Figma, as well as leading communication applications including Slack and Telegram with more to follow.

New servers in Europe

Earlier this year, our new servers in the United Kingdom went live. These would enable European users to get improved performance and smoother access to the platform. So far we’ve been able to go from roughly 100 registered users to more than 3000 daily active users today, with a total registered user base of 200,000 in less than a year.

At neverinstall, we are developing a next-generation cloud platform to bring any GUI (Graphical User Interface) application regardless of the operating system, device, and system requirements to the browser.

Our goal is to bring a fundamental shift in the way we use applications eliminating the limitations of hardware and making them truly accessible from anywhere.

It's because these loans usually don't make it through underwriting. Most of the time they don't even make it past the originators desk. Banks have no incentive to prosecute people who "forget" to mention there's a lien on their house. Also, who is to prosecute in cases where documentation of income isn't required? For instance, if I say I make $200k/yr because my boss told me I'd make that much in this new sales job am I lying if it turns out I won't make that much and documentation wasn't required?

People have such a school-house view of how the world works.

I think it's actually false 99% of the time, because as soon as we get Y for cheap, we start consuming it more, and we are back to not having enough Y.
"Your aim should be delivering value, which sometimes means making long term investments that improve the development environment."

That makes sense as long as it also matches the employee's goal of being paid for the work they do. If you work at a place like my job, you will never be promoted if you do this necessary behind the scenes stuff. It's as if the motto is "if the business user doesn't see it, it never happened". Sucks if you're spending a lot time on things that are supposed to be invisible to a user, like security or availability.
Like the last time this was posted, OP didn't have the right co-founder who could sell this. Drug Formulary management is a legitimate problem and a business, currently someone pays a pharmacist 6 figures to present and clean drug study data to hospitals and insurance companies who decide what to include/exclude from their drug formularies.

The work flow currently is Drug A comes to market with expense X, it is competing with older Drug B with expense Y. There are no head to head trials, but an expert (usually a pharmacist) can reach solid benefit/harm conclusions. That pharmacist writes up a nice summary with a recommendation and present to a committee made up of other experts (usually doctors w/ academic background). They discuss and come to a formulary decision for the whole hospital.

In insurance companies, some background financial shady stuff can take place (kickback schemes) that influence this process, but some form of honest data analysis takes place anyway.

I used to do this for a while, it can work. Just have to convince the right people that your software would be better than the pharmacist. The market incentives doesn't really encourage that kind of automation/savings, so it will be an uphill battle that need experienced sales folks and good VC money.
