A lot of people advocate for self help through diet, exercise, meditation, taking time off, etc. While these all have their place, at a certain point and a certain level of stress you stop being able to do it. You end up cutting short during a workout because your brain won't switch off. The lack of sleep starts to affect all your cognitive function and then the diet starts to slip and before you know it you're eating like crap again.

At the best of times these routines of habit are just an escape from the stress or covering the actual problems related to not just running companies as a founder but actual all roles in life that require your ultimate sacrifice of mind, body and soul.

The diet, exercise, holidays and whatever else only go so far. Talking to other founders only goes so far. They're also struggling but it's hard to make time for each other. We're all busy just staying afloat. What we don't really talk about is the fact that you are more than your startup, that your life and identity is more. Part of that means other experiences or trauma earlier in your life could be magnified by the stresses of running a startup. The people starting companies already have to be a bit delusional.

The reality is it's excruciatingly hard and yet also still a first world problem because you have to be ultra privileged to be in a place that you're even thinking of starting a startup.

My last point here. Routines and habits don't always help. There has to be more. To ensure the stress and sacrifice are manageable at that level it can often also help to seek external council from a CEO coach, a therapist, etc. Your investors are not going to be helpful here, neither are your friends, family or other founders. You have obligations to all of them and you can't use them as a dumping ground. So seeking external guidance at a certain point is a must.

Luckily, I don't see this “taking over the web” at all. This looks like design created by people who aren't good at design.
What product placement is there in Bridgerton?
Is it tho?

The article cites only two examples: Figma and Gumroad. While Figma obviously has the potential to influence lots of designs by being a design tool, it also seems to match the style much less directly than Gumroad. And while Gumroad is apparently a great example, two off-mainstream sites are hardly enough to base such an extremely broad claim on.

Plus this style is not really new. It seems more like a rehash of a lot of elements of a style that came and went roughly a decade ago although at the time taking more inspiration from pop art and golden age comic strips (with trapezoids and bold angles) than the more toned down examples the article shows. There's no reason to assume "neobrutalism" will be more influential than "neo pop art" was at the time.

If anything, trends seem to be largely defined by boilerplate toolkits (twitter bootstrap at its time, material now) and OSes (especially iOS but Windows modern UI also had some influence for a while).

No. The inputs are labour and capital, so that's already taken care of.

One answer might be "TFP reflects technical knowledge; the more knowledge there is, the easier it is to generate new knowledge". But you'd have to get into growth macro for the details. Indeed, Romer is the person.

Ask HN: Buying a domain previously owned by a now deceased person
Strange (or maybe not so strange?) thing happened.

I'm looking for a good name & .com domain for a product for some time now. Just tried a new guess and the .com is available. I was quite enthusiastic about this option. Or so I thought...

It just so happens that the previous owner was a person that died from cancer couple of years ago and hosted some semi personal stuff there - judging from a quick read on web.archive.org, mostly promoted their books, but the topic of disease was present and books were somewhat related.

Apparently there was no one around them who would take care of the site and pay for the domain (or maybe there was, but they decided it was better not to). Related Facebook account is deleted, too. OTOH books are available on Amazon.

Now I don't feel like taking this domain would be the right move. Both emotionally and business wise.

Curious if you have any thoughts or maybe have seen some similar situations.
I knew this would come up :-)

Doesn't improve overall game performance though.
I'm thinking kind of the opposite. I think control is real, and most definitely can be trained. And free will is something that can be an aspiration, but definitely out of reach for most, sort of like enlightenment or nirvana.
Flat is nice but a bit boring and every website looks the same. Designers should start using some textures, shadows and gradients a bit more to add depth.

FOAF Vocabulary Specification
> Now would it have the same effect in humans?

It's only studied in rats, so we basically don't know. I cannot access the original paper so I can't discern exactly how much fungus these rats were fed. Given what usually happens with such papers, it's probably an extreme amount. I wouldn't put too much credence into it.
No. The whole day was the „brief moment“.

> But even if we insist on getting in harm's way, safe Rust promises to protect us anyway. For example if I make an array of a thousand misfortunate::OnewayGreater<u8>s they're only one byte each, yet they all insist they're Ordered greater than each other and even than themselves, Rust's sort() doesn't cause Undefined Behaviour on this input. It may never succeed, since all the elements to be "sorted" insist they're greater than each other, but it definitely won't segfault, trash unrelated memory or cause chaos.

This argument feels like a difference in semantics, rather than any actual added safety.

Rust will happily let you run the sort with an unstable comparator, which then leads to undefined behavior in the sense that the final sorting order, or whether the sort completes at all, is not defined by the standard and is instead dependent on the internal implementation. The fact that this is not called "undefined behavior" in Rust is a difference in semantics only.

Added safety would be if Rust could detect the fact that the comparator is unstable and tell the user so they could fix the bug in their comparator.

What is perhaps more relevant here than any safety provided by the Rust language is that there is only one Rust compiler. Relying on internal implementation details of that compiler is much more accepted, and the distinction between "internal compiler implementation detail" and "behavior defined by the standard" is a lot less relevant than it is in C or C++, which have many different implementations.
I think I will copy/paste my comment from a thread from yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31098822), which incidentally was also referring to pdqsort, as it is just as relevant here:

Hi all, I'm the author of pdqsort. I recently held a talk at my institute on efficient in-memory sorting and the ideas in pdqsort, in case you're interested in hearing some of the theory behind it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz-PBiWwNjc
Next week I will hold another talk in the Dutch seminar on data systems design (https://dsdsd.da.cwi.nl/) on glidesort, a new stable sorting algorithm I've been working on. It is a combination of adaptive quicksort (like pdqsort, fully adaptive for many equal elements) and an adaptive mergesort (like timsort, fully adaptive for long pre-sorted runs). It is the first practical implementation of an algorithm I'm aware of that's fully adaptive for both. Like pdqsort it uses modern architecture aware branchless sorting, and it can use an arbitrary buffer size, becoming faster as you give it more memory (although if given a constant buffer size it will degrade to O(n (log n)^2) in theory, in practice for realistic workloads it's just a near-constant factor (c ~<= 3-5) slower).

The source code isn't publish-ready yet, I have to still do some extra correctness vetting and testing, and in particular exception-safety is still not yet fully implemented. This is important because I wrote it in Rust where we must always give back a valid initialized array, even if a comparison operator caused a panic. But I do have some performance numbers to quote, that won't significantly change.

For sorting 2^24 randomly shuffled distinct u32s using a buffer of 2^23 elements (n/2), glidesort beats Rust's stdlib slice::sort (which is a classic timsort also using a buffer of n/2) by a factor of 3.5 times. When stably sorting the same numbers comparing only their least significant 4 bits, it beats stdlib slice::sort by 12.5 times using 6.5 times fewer comparisons, both numbers on my Apple M1 Macbook. All of this is just using single-threaded code with a generic comparison function. No SIMD, no threads, no type-specific optimizations.

Finally, glidesort with a buffer size of >= n/2 is faster than pdqsort.
Well, that works as long as the … is some fairly unobjectionable group of people. It doesn’t work if you substitute it with “drunk drivers” for example.

The NTSB report is probably not done yet and this is part of some immediate regulatory response to ensure that the guy doesn't do any more of that shit.
IMO the more varied the sensory input we receive from an interface the better (higher information throughput, more diverse engagement of the mind, fine motor skills, etc. etc.), and satisfaction with touch taken away and being limited almost exclusively to sight is to some degree Stockholm syndrome.

We gained something, but we also lost something and hopefully we will not settle for that. I am looking forwards to tactile interfaces, whatever new tech will make it possible.
Spend on what though? The sanctions are rather porous and quite a bit of the world outside of the self-anointed "International Community" has given at most lip service to the sanctions. Doubt there's much on this planet that Russia could want that it couldn't get.
I don't know if the atrocities in Bucha were staged, if I'm being perfectly honest, I literally can't know that. It seems more plausible the Russians are responsible than the Ukrainians, but I can't actually know that. I wasn't there. The posters are correct, the Ukrainians might have staged the deaths. I doubt it, false flag attacks are far more rare than some run-of-the-mill victimisation by an invading force, but it's true that they might have staged things. Facebook should absolutely not be going further than attributing source, and should be wary of false positives.

This idea that Facebook has a mandate to link articles to some bias editorials so long as the editorialist calls themselves a fact checker is asinine. I don't have an issue with editorialists, I just don't think they're entitled to such undemocratic favoritism. They can publish a browser extension or something if they want links to their articles to be overlaid on top of Facebook.

I've grown a distaste for the very concepts of "denialism" or "fact checking". It's practically a red flag to me at this point that this person is going to start advocating editorialising social media with their version of the truth despite their lack of objectivity or actual knowledge.
In a previous life, when I worked with solvers a lot, this was exactly my problem too: the examples in the documentation are always way too simple.

What I saw often, and this was in finance, that one or two developers gain proficiency in converting problems to a specific solver tool, and then we could never move to a different library because it would have been so much effort to relearn.

Most people don't really need hibernate. If you use your computer every couple days sleep is good enough. And if you make sure the apps you use save their state often enough that you won't lose things, it's just as fast to boot normally.
That's not particularly relevant, no standard library sort method is using multithreading in the background. It actually is about algorithmic improvements.
So, all for helping customers get their hands on the Pi, but one valid question: I want to build a cluster of 8GB Pi 4s... probably minimum of 5, but ideally 8 or 9... How do I get my hands on that many?! Most places limit you to 1 or now, you to be a previous customer... This is not "business" related, directly, but its something that would help in $DayJob (VMWare Cluster, Kubernetes, Beowulf Cluster... etc). So, how do you buy that many?
I suspect they would disagree with what's in their best interest. Most large businesses (especially nVidia) operate with a zero-sum mindset: they're not winning unless someone else is losing. To them, sharing information when not absolutely necessary is losing.
Can't there be a middle ground? I have a real hard time with the flat low-contrast design that's everywhere.

The low contrast material design makes it incredibly difficult to navigate, you constantly have to guess what is a button and what is not.

I think something like Windows 95 is peak interface design. Sounds facetious but think about it: Controls are clearly distinguished from content with not only colors but bevels. Buttons often have both icons and text so you don't have to guess what the button does. Overall it leverages real world spatial metaphors extremely effectively to produce an interface that is very intuitive. You never have to ask yourself whether a button is a dialogue or an input field because they look visually distinct.
Ask HN: Opinion on an app that can store newly learned words (Not a dictionary)
Hey People!
Everytime we see a new word, we search it on Google or in a dictionary (It might be digital or printed). Which is actually good, we see a lot of words and try to remember their meaning. But these words are not stored on somewhere, I mean a central place where we can search and find ONLY the words we've learnt.

My plan is to make an app for JUST the words I put in it. The user will search the meaning by himself and add the corresponding meaning to the word.

Thus a database will be created and I’ll add search functionality within the database (Not like dictionaries). After that maybe... Adding AI recommendation system, TTS, Showing progress etc.

Example:

Count | Word | Meaning
-----------------------------------
1 | Humbug | Deceptive

I know that some people may say that a note taking app or even an excel sheet can do that, but personally I felt the need of something different.

So..... What do you think of this idea?
> The nomenclature is just wild...

I totally agree. The described style has nothing to do with béton brut. Rather the opposite.
Crypto exchange Binance limits services in Russia after EU sanctions
> Brutalism is a 1950’s architectural trend that was abandoning all decorations, and creating brutally simple buildings made from concrete. They often weren’t even painted to emphasize their brutal nature. So big, brutal blocks of concrete.

> It was the architects showing they were bored with the status-quo and trying something different. That feels very similar to the current search for the UI trend to take over design.

"Brutalism" doesn't come from "brutal" but from "brut", meaning raw or unaltered. It also had goals and values beyond being bored with the status quo, in that it was a close offshoot of modernism concerned with authenticity.

Although it's true that the name wasn't very good and it's now mostly understood to refer to the massive angular concrete structures we know and love.
AWS is extremely expensive for what it offers. It doesn't have to raise prices to be a bad idea, it just has a very large mindshare in the space.
For me it works well with swap. I'm playing an indie game that suffers from a slight memory leak. After 4 or 5 hours the oom killer comes along and puts an end to it. Everything else gets pushed to swap before the game is killed. No unresponsiveness.
Oh wow, and that is a prominent YouTuber too. I'm subscribed to him, though haven't been watching his videos lately since they started feeling a bit too content-farmy. Definitely gonna be thinking about looking into this further and possibly raising some stink.
Why couldn't you use memory without corresponding swap space?

No, they don't.

You can still get a ton of useful work out of 12 year old machines like dual xeon servers that never had UEFI or even 1st and 2nd gen core i7 machines. Piling it all into landfill while it still works is wasteful and shortsighted.
Zearalenone is a known mycotoxin that is routinely screened for in food production, so the exposure risk for people who consume commercially produced grains is minimal. Additionally although the toxin is heat stable, the fungal spores if present are destroyed by cooking.

So you’d have to consume non-heat-treated raw infected grains, and ignore the other symptoms of mycotoxin poisoning, as it’s not the only toxin Fusarium moulds produce.

To the founders on here: which item would have helped the most reduce the stress

1. more (or more secure) money. If you got your house paid for and a decent salary guaranteed for two years while you got the thing started, would that have helped?

2. A wingman - someone you trusted utterly with you each step of the way (but harder to provide than the above)

3. Other

I am just wondering if the VC game is rigged to be like a hazing - we cannot find any other decent way to sort the winners

> Seems like one step along the way for the government to criminalize personal VPN access and ban the websites they don't like. They could already do it but this way is so much easier.

You mean much harder, because when government (ISP) is blocking sites it's censorship, that is against constitution, while corporations can do whatever they want (especially if it is heavily "encouraged" by government), so your only action is to change ISP(good luck with that in land of the freedom). And even when there is a competing ISP in your area, odds are that it also was "encouraged" by government.

No one told me this when I embarked on the startup journey, so I had to learn it the hard way.
