Yes, I helped organize the Netflix cricket practice sessions. Netflix has a cricket team (in engineering) that in the past has played in the GPL: Google Premiership League, along with several other tech companies. Lots of fun!

We practiced on baseball diamonds, and played league games on the Google soccer field.

When I ran the BPF tutorial at USENIX LISA 2019, I had one finger in a splint from breaking it playing cricket. :-)
I was expecting someone to post a comment along the lines of "Pixelmator is great for picture editing on macOS"; it is one of the best Mac editors.

But I'm also delighted to see your username pop up :) I used quite a few of your wallpapers back in 2002, when I was making desktop customization packs for Windows XP, and I have fond memories of them.
The problem is that with only one side of a story, you never get a truthful story. The usefulness of having both sides of the story cannot be overstated.

Otherwise the side telling the story doesn't even have to try and keep it realistic and can forgo any notion of truth. Allowing for more blatant lies to spread as truth.

It is a very complex problem that I would say is best fought in early childhood development, by teaching our coming generations methods of discovering truth.

Many people still run on older modded versions. To use the example you gave, HarvestCraft 2's CurseForge page[0] says:

> Welcome to the brand new HarvestCraft for 1.14.4 and beyond! Please read carefully as this is NOT a update of Pam's HarvestCraft but a re-boot.

1.14.4 is 3 years old, but many (many!) servers are still running on 1.12 or older versions if doing modded. There simply isn't an incentive for many mod owners to update their mods to the latest version, so the "community updates" as a whole are generally quite slow and people end up stuck on their favourite version.

Edit: Looking at the article, they also only analyze Forge mods. On newer versions, other mod loaders are gaining popularity, whereas Forge is the de-facto mod loader for 1.12.

It’s telling how your libertarian astroturfing site accepts conservation groups’ numbers re: increasing/stable polar bear populations, but not the same groups’ estimates those populations will drop by 30% within two decades due to ice loss. It’s the kind of thing you’d expect them to try to disprove… if they weren’t just a libertarian astroturfing site.

The bad faith is also comically obvious when deaths from national disasters is your chosen metric, as if more better mitigation and response efforts disprove either the increasing occurrence of severe weather events or that they’re caused by changing climate.
Choose your license carefully. At least you must understand the differences, advantages and disadvantages of MIT vs GPL vs AGPL.

(If your idea in the future is to use AGPL and sell a dual license, you must ask for a CLA. But I hate CLA.)

Well first, Twitter literally banned the President of the United States while allowing ISIS and other terrorist groups to have free reign. All this tells me is that one of your friend groups is perfectly happy lying to themselves about what is going on.

>Again, not judging and willing to be proved wrong, but the right is a lot ... rougher, aggressive

I am yet to see anyone on the right openly talking about murdering black people, whereas it is common for left wing twitter users to talk about murdering white people (remember the new editor for the New York Times had a number of tweets to that effect). Also, posting pictures of themselves with severed heads of their enemies while covered in blood seems like a thing among left wing users. I am in fact struggling to think of anything "rough" or "aggressive" from the right, even at the most extremes that comes close to the norm of the left on that platform.
Land value taxes fail on the basics.

Tax has nothing to do with raising money. It’s about releasing real resources for the public good - largely people to provide public services. Ideally the tax needs to be incident on the private sector entities that would otherwise hire the people the public sector needs to hire instead - military, judiciary, police, healthcare, education, etc.

Government has no need of land, therefore it makes no sense to tax it. Expecting the incidence to end up in the correct place requires a faith in fungibility that just isn’t borne out in practice.

the way I heard it was - Steve Jobs famously had a cash flow problem once regarding hard disk drives, long ago. After that, accumulating cash became a centerpiece to Steve Jobs dictatorship. Controlling the supply chain, ruthlessly, as your competitors would do to you, developed over the years as cash enabled that. In the specialized, fast-paced and global electronic components markets, it was not possible to control all the inputs, but by M&A and relentless, years long campaigns, some parts were brought in. There is nothing new about controlling your industrial inputs, it is simply difficult to do it.

THIS ^^^. My concerns are less and less about preserving my phone and more and more about preserving my planet. Show me a phone that can be completely recycled instead of giving me the illusion that it won't break because of x or y. Eventually it's going to be to sluggish for modern applications (because of its cpu or because of its battery).

I have a growing pile of now useless phones even at my house that I never broke because I take care of my investments.

And while I wouldn't expect a company to search out "right" solutions, I would hope that MIT as an educational institution could see beyond money and at least get in front of where the hockey puck should be, and not where it's tended to go (I'm speaking of sustainable profits on a planet in which we can live vs just amazing profits on an uninhabitable planet).

Please explain how they were bailed out, which my comment was in reference to?

Sounds like you have a problem with their fee structure - but not sure where the connection with a bailout is.

Separately, you do realize that (generalizing) hedge funds typically charge fees annually and have high water marks, which mean if the fund declines in value they give back fees that have been accrued for that year, and that they don’t charge incentive fees again until they’ve recouped investor losses?

Cool! Now I can finally get rid of some of the paper tapes holding my priceless PDP-11 BASIC programs. Not sure yet if I dare look at the results (not, mind you, because I think the reader may have failed, just that 11-year-old-me probably wasn't that great a coder as I assumed at the time...).

My only reservation is that I'm apparently supposed to feed the tapes (at a leisurely maximum pace of 2.2 miles per hour) by hand, like some kind of animal...

They're really pretty different so if depends on your goals and your environment. If you're scripting something Lua-scriptable like OpenResty/Haproxy, or you want to piggyback off the Lua ecosystem of modules you're looking at Fennel as your choice. If you want more built-in batteries and you aren't tied to Lua, you may prefer Janet although the ecosystem is young. If you like Clojure but don't want to use regular Clojure, I guess you'd prefer Babashka. Of the 3 I've not used Babashka, so I'm not sure the sell here. Is it just an alternative runtime I guess?
Ask HN: Solo bootstrapped founders, how did you scale?
How did you go from being a one-person operation to a bigger team?

What were the first steps you took? When did you take these steps, and why?

Any lessons learnt along the way?

Sorry for all the questions. There is an abundance of "how-to" growth stories on co-founded and / or funded startups scaling successfully, but surprisingly little on solo-founded and bootstrapped companies.

Any insight would be appreciated - thanks!
I have a fairly loaded M1 Pro MacBook and it's very nice. But I also have a couple 6 year old Macs in the house and, to be honest, aside from video and phoro editing which is all on my M1 now, I use all 3 systems pretty interchangeably--usually in the browser--except for the iMac which has a full setup (lighting/audio/etc.) to conference and record video.
I think it's good to be full of more ideas than you could pursue in a lifetime, before becoming a solo founder.

It's just one of the things you have to depend more strongly on yourself for.

If your ambition is to have lots of employees eventually anyway, you should have plans for more than enough work to keep them all productively in action.

1. A high-performing solo operator will often be capable of outperforming a small team of established workers doing acceptable work elsewhere, especially considering technology or motivational advantages.

2. More money will always be capable of being made from meaningless BS. Until you have the most meaningful offerings you may need to sell things that are only somewhat meaningful for a while. You're going to need a strong marketing effort no matter what and as long as you're committed to no BS and giving the client their money's worth, nobody will think you are shady.

3. Some things are so massive and so important that it's best for most people not to rule them out entirely. Sometimes you can't afford not to address things that are too big to handle solo.
That would imply you are trying to multi-task whilst compiling Rust/Haskell.

Chances are it has nothing to do with M1 and everything to do with your SSD being overwhelmed.
Well noted, thank you for letting me know!
I don't think this is about elections, but about how much people care about the leader as an individual versus a representative of a party? For example, in a traditional monarchy, even if you had a very clear successor (popular 60yo king with a popular 35yo eldest child etc) killing the king would still be a huge "message".

(Kagi dev here)

Kagi is privately owned US corporation.

> And how do we know Kagi doesn't end up the same way as DDG?

Being a paid service means Kagi's incentives are very different. Instead of selling your data or profiting from feeding into ad-tech food chain, we are interested in selling you a subscription. This changes everything as the number one thing in Kagi's universe becomes what the users want, different to DDG, Google and other ad-supported search engines.

> How do we know these privacy claims are true?

Sadly I can not think of a way to verify them (let me know if you have one). But most plainly, we have no incentive or reason to do otherwise. Note that the only private information Kagi asks of the user is an email address, need to create an account, and those concerned can use whatever email they want.

I couldn't agree more and I think the road the right takes with "free speech" is purely emotional and makes no sense.

What makes HN great isn't that there is free speech, it is that everyone is treated equally. The rules are the same no matter what your opinions. I really wish the people clamoring for free speech would use their heads instead of their hearts and realize that this is what they really want.

If Twitter openly said, "we ban anyone with a right of center opinion" then I would be perfectly happy. What bothers me is they lie about what they are doing. It tells me they know they are doing something wrong. It is really dark and manipulative what they are up to.
Fascinating indeed. As a comparison, it would be interesting to do the same for various other processors such as, 8008, 8048, 8080, 8085, 8051, Z80, V20, 8088/86, 8086/87 combo, etc.

First we'd test these procs with a move/best fit translation of the 4004 code to 8-bit then redo the process with their additional/native instructions at 8-bit, etc.

Wishful thinking I know, but I've always wanted to know how these early procs compared against each other in raw calculating power.
So this disagreement is an interesting example of error being a construction in itself: I will posit that you are wrong or not interpreting my point of view properly, and you will say that I am wrong or possibly not explaining things properly.

There is an objectively quantifiable disagreement. But its nature (and even whether it is desirable or not) are possibly camped in subjective terms. Of course you could argue that I am objectively wrong — though trying to prove that with my own writings is risky since we’ve established I’m not a trustworthy source — but that in itself does not resolve the overall disagreement from existing.

This sort of situation can also happen in software where an ambiguous specification yields two distinct compliant implementations that nevertheless do not work together.
What makes you say that? Their attitudes towards concepts like cheating, deception and outcome over process behind the social wall of politeness and diligence might surprise you.
I see a few people didn't like what you said, and that's mystifying to me because while I understand the point of view of the business owner, as well as the reality that nearly all code stinks more or less, at the end of the day your #1 obligation is to your own interests. There's no reason people should choose to work on projects they don't like if they have no financial need to do so, or if the pay isn't enticing enough.

Attitudes will change in the next decade when vulnerabilities in software and tech become more obvious, serious, and regulated. Right now we're all happy hogs feeding from the trough of few meaningful standards, but the time will come when we are blamed for human lives lost as a result of bad code, and it's no longer going to be funny that we get paid so much to write such shit. As well, doing whatever companies pay us to do will become more shameful. From much of what I read here on HN and what I've seen in my own experience, way too many software developers will do practically anything for money and prestige.

This is why the selfishness of only wanting to work with teams that write decent code is actually more beneficial for society than "fail fast, bruh". Already, the tech bruhs aren't revered so much as they were even a handful of years ago.

I understand why people might think that, but I'm not sure it'd be great for the culture for me to be different from my coworkers. We're all working on important things, and we all need to collaborate together.
To add to your point. New R&D for plastics is probably where the solution to microplastics is going to come from.

Some researcher building the next superplastic pauses to say "hey that's funny" and bam we've got a new formula that completely prevents the formation of microplastics.

Artificially constraining development is a great way to either miss an important direction of research that will unknowingly solve our problems OR just kill the industry leaving us with our existing plastics that degrade into microplastics.

Of course new developments should definitely run a microplastics study to make sure we don't make the situation worse. However "no more this until that" is a great way to freeze ourselves into our current less than ideal state for decades longer than we have to be here.
From my experience also building a live looper in rust (https://github.com/mwylde/loopers):

Pros

- Rust is much more pleasant to write (for me at least) than C or C++

- lots of good libraries for the non-audio stuff (like lockless queues)

- the compiler checks for potential data races, making complex multithreaded programming much easier

- C++ audio plugins are notoriously unstable, rust makes it much easier to write reliable code

- easy custom allocator support to help prevent accidental allocations in the audio thread (which can potentially lock)

Cons

- the rust audio ecosystem is much less mature, so you’re going to need to figure out a lot of basic things yourself and potentially write patches for core libs like jack and core audio

- some stuff is more or less unsolved, like building audio plug-in GUIs

But overall, I think it’s totally worth it. Audio programming requires tight control over allocations and locking in order to ensure that the audio thread remains live, and generally needs high performance to stay within your latency budget. Rust makes it easier to achieve those goals without giving up safety and reliability.
I do get it but only when an app is blocking its UI thread. The rest of the system is still responsive. On my old macbook I'd get a beachball and the entire system would freeze for seconds at a time.
Not just that, but changing machines is a chore. I'd be happy to only upgrade when my machines starts to disintegrate. Sadly, corporations don't agree with that.

there is no respect for other people's right to form their own conclusion

You have a right to be treated with respect, your conclusions do not.

You have a right to form “your own” conclusion, no matter how hubristic.

You do not have a right to expect others respect your own conclusion. E.g, if your conclusion tracks propaganda verbatim, interlocutors have their own right to call that out.

Respect for conclusions based on regard for the reasoner’s “believability” is earned and can be lost.

People can respect your right to be dead wrong, while still trying to help you be less so.

The comment dismissing your conclusions wasn’t helpful, but was within both your and their rights.
This reply made my day ^_^

Cheers and thanks for everything.
Sure, but all this is only within one space. The "internal language" is a formalism of that space, and not beyond.

What I think we're doing is, you know, forming concepts which are not constrained to spaces. I dont even really think our concepts, which are mostly just bundles-of-techniques, live within the space of the target object, nor its measurment space (ie., that of experience).

Eg., my "pen" includes being able to grasp a pen (indeed, the relevant motor skills are prior-to and necessary-for the abstract concept formation).

What you're talking about is a pixel-space projection of "pen" being able to function like the (animal, body-first) concept "pen". It doesnt.

Rather "pen" in pixel space is, sure, an "internal langauge" of a sampling of AllPixelPatterns concerned with pixel-space projections of "pen". This i'd call a "template", and I dont think it has almost anything to do with concepts/representations/etc.

What we are doing when we acquire motor techniques which produce "ways of sensing and moving" that eventually could become reified as the abstract "Pixel Pen" is really nothing at all like sampling PixelPenSpace and deriving a tempalte.

To see the difference, consider that our concept allows us to resolve ambiguities -- eg., if I think something might be a pen, I can go beyond one space of measurement (eg., sight) -- eg., move the pen, write with it etc. -- and thus return to the target space "Is Pen?" with sufficient confidence.

Once such "mere templates" exist, everything we do, isnt required. Indeed, a calculator can take over at that point; put it in a cupboard forever to repeat whatever thin inferences pixel templates admit.
