I want "scratchpads" on every desk, and virtual whiteboards for realtime distributed collab. MS Surface promised with its table top and classroom 50" protos. But I think we need an open source hardware vision here.
I think that there is a much deeper track to entrepreneurship than the false, oversimplified binary of

1) either do a side project purely in the spare time of one's bigco job and surviving

2) go full-time into a company whether one may fail (and ultimately starve) or not

Not everyone is (or should) become a professional social media influencer.

Not everyone is (or should) become a professional musician.

Not everyone is (or should) become a professional basketball player.

Not everyone is (or should) become a professional politician.

Not everyone is (or should) become a professional founder.

But plenty of people do.

What you're talking about as being "so risky" can really be as mundane as becoming a competent mid level manager at a large tech company. One do have to make certain moves in one's career to prepare for management, and there's a certain level of progressive, targeted professional maturation that has to take place before one can be put in charge of others in some kind of a management capacity and not mess the whole thing up completely. But it's ultimately something which can be (and commonly is) trained for. Moreover, it is something most people can accomplish in their lifetime with training -- not that it means it's something most people should do or would enjoy doing.

It can take 6-10 years of practicing how to find and get into the top 1-10% startups to get any good at it. Or to get the skills one would need to run one. Or to find the right colleagues to build a network of peers and mentors one likes.

But if someone puts the full time in and don't get even decent (never mind best in class) results, they probably need to be more patient, and/or they screwed something very specific up, which they could probably fix; it's not because they aren't capable of it.

So it may require a different much more personal playbook than one may be used to, and if one has not fully developed theirs yet, it may seem delusional or unattainable. But much of that, if that's in the case, would be in their head. It would be like saying "I can't be a manager." That's probably not the case. What is likely more the case is "I like being an IC more than a manager" and "I prefer the working environment of established big companies over small startups."

People tend to prefer what they're good at, and they tend to be good at what they prefer. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Not sure about the cursor being 1 to the left of where you'd expect but the box behaviour is something you need to specify in your .vimrc otherwise it'll use the default cursor for the terminal. Something like this may be what you're used to:

let &t_SI .= "\<Esc>[4 q"

let &t_EI .= "\<Esc>[2 q"

You probably also want set ttym=sgr if you want mouse interactions to be sent properly.

WP and SSH seem to be the most common bot attacks. SSH is easily mitigated by changing the default port from 22 to something else, and adding in fail2ban.

As for WP, I like to use a static site generator like Hugo, unless you have huge requirements for dynamic server side resources (versus of a site with 1000s of pages, albeit static and highly cacheable).

The reduction from 30mph to 20mph in London is political CV padding and has had no real effect on outcomes. All based on Chinese whispers. Wouldn't be surprised if your comment ended up as an original source in Islington's justification for some thing or other. It's that flimsy
This real life example is more complicated than the Fight Club version. It includes more variables like the added sales I mentioned and all these variables are unknown. How can you draw conclusions about one variable in a formula in which you don't know the value of any of the variables?
You can't provide typesafety (with TypeScript) across the frontend and backend for multiple languages without codegen. There's no intention for this to be strictly JS, but there's no easy way to offer this for multiple languages.

There will be an openapi generator some time in the future so that could help with generating clients for other languages (https://github.com/trpc/trpc/issues/1724).
Oh man, I didn't expect to read a comment saying "it's OK if 100 times more cars have accidents as long as a company isn't liable".
This specific sort of filter has been in place in the UK since 2004. It's part of the "Mobile Broadband Group"'s code of practice – the joint industry association representing the large UK mobile networks. The principle in general was that mobile broadband operators would enable an "adult content filter" by default on their products, with the ability for users to disable it on providing proof of age. I think it's basically a DNS block, though the implementation might vary between operators.

If I remember the details right, I'm pretty sure this was a compromise solution – basically one of those situations where the industry generally agrees to self-regulate in exchange for avoiding more formal state regulation on their services.

It's a bit silly generally, particularly when stuff like archive.org gets added to the list when it really shouldn't be.

What is "the reality" to which you are referring?

Inequality is measured by relative levels of wealth. When the group with the most wealth's wealth declines relative to the group with the least, inequality declines.

Are you trying to make some kind of point that, because it hasn't declined as much as you would like it to, it hasn't declined at all? I really can't tell.
The more studies that are done, the more evidence there is that bacteria from the 'gut biome' affects quite a bit in your body. My armchair summary on this is that the cells pull bacteria from the gut and move it about the body.

That could easily be a lawyer-speak official statement.

They say “personal information”. That is consumer-facing language for something which in banking has a legally (regulation) defined term: “PII” or personally identifiable information:

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/personally-identifiable...

It can be argued that lists of money spent at stores cannot be reversed back to a person without other information. So they might not consider your transactions PII.

As for the consent, the TOS click wrap generally gets your consent, in the part where firms mumble about “our partners” for “legitimate uses” or etc. while bucketing various data brokers in that class.
This is true to some extent, but not in a simple and categorical way.

We should really think more about how we want our kids to grow and discover the (online) world, and sheltering them from everything controversial or have their parents dictate every content they can and cannot access until they’re 18, doesn’t look like an actual viable option to me.
I love it. Thanks for sharing.
the fact that it is opt-out rather than opt-in makes it much more than a "nothing burger" IMHO.
It's interesting how go and python have similar achilles heels, namely the way they handle strings (python's print was highlighted as a similar performance problem in another post recently in HN). I wonder if there will ever be a solution to this issue (i.e. the marshalling/demarshalling of potential unicode/runes to bytes and vice versa), or are we forever stuck in this tradeoff?

It is enabled by default, so it's a big deal in my opinion.

Edit: also, "parental control" is not really a good description for something that is active by default for anyone regardless of their age. It is quite literally a case of "nanny ISP".
thank you. overreactions over things like this REALLY increase people's "I care about this" fatigue more than people realize.

those who do the overreacting never seem to look into things and immediately jump to incorrect conclusions, and observers eventually get an understanding that these issues are crackpot issues and not real, or not real enough to care about.

it erodes the awareness of the issue that the overreacting person hopes (consciously or not) to increase.

it really is a shame that most "civic-level" advocates are so poor at their advocacy; paid lobbyists are quite effective, indeed.
Create a logging method/function, llog() or something, with named parameters and whatnot.
Just code. Python, C, doesn't matter. Learn both at once, learn 5 languages at once, or focus on one exclusively. Write a GUI app, or a web front end, or an assembler implementation of a parser tree, or a text adventure game. Whatever keeps you interested. People will tell you you have to do it this way or that, and they're all wrong, because they're not you. It doesn't matter at all how you do it, or what you choose to write, so long as (1) you can keep up your interest and (2) you're coding.

Deep Reinforcement Learning Methods in Character Animation
When you have logs you can see where the anomalies are and trace them back to the source. Things are wrong all over the place, but where did it start?

Often I'll identify a wrong value, or bad object, and then search for that through the logs to see what is touching it or where it first appeared. If it's interacting with another value I'll search for that, maybe in a longer chain. Eventually you figure out where the interaction is going wrong, and more often than not it's a subtle error that looks right but isn't. You make a small change (the classic is an off-by-one error) and suddenly everything works perfectly.
That's not really what the OP is saying though, is it?

The Saudis should have had come through.

In a rare moment of clarity Musk self-diagnosed and understood that he can't be trusted with a public company. He takes the stock price (and generally everything that impacts or perceived as impacting the stock price) too personally.

His best work was when he was at the helm of a private company out of the public eye. Unfortunately I think he became addicted to attention and can't go back.

All the former members of the PayPal mafia became addicted to being high ranked generals in the culture and political wars raging in across the country.
I listed some ways that it helps. You get a strict, well-defined, easily-documented API. Yeah, you can do all that with REST, but I like having a defined structure for it.

My german friend taught me this. Now I do exactly what you say, if it's an approximate, I say 5-10 mins. If I'm being more precise, I'll say 4 mins, 7 mins etc, which does exactly what you mention: it "suddenly" turns the approximation into a time critical event.
That was the argument of Federalist No. 84:

"It has been several times truly remarked, that bills of rights are in their origin, stipulations between kings and their subjects, abridgments of prerogative in favor of privilege, reservations of rights not surrendered to the prince. Such was Magna Carta, obtained by the Barons, sword in hand, from the king John...It is evident, therefore, that according to their primitive signification, they have no application to constitutions professedly founded upon the power of the people, and executed by their immediate representatives and servants. Here, in strictness, the people surrender nothing, and as they retain everything, they have no need of particular reservations."

"I go further and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than were granted."
I'm not quite sure that something that is on by default for everyone can be described as parental control, unless in the context of a nanny-state metaphor?
> This makes sense at first glance: as an exercise to the reader, go to archive.org and type in the URL of your favorite porn website.

If this is their reasoning, then it's silly to me. With this logic every search engine should be blocked! Even with all their domain blacklisting simply searching for adult content on google images will yield millions of results. Probably more than archive.org :)

I think this is an honest mistake. I reckon they either had a crawler that flagged archive.org or maybe someone added it by mistake and never realized it :)
Imagine bragging and laughing about hearing the 'pop' in the shoulder of a 73 year old woman that you just threw to the ground. Wonder if members of non-state gangs would get only five years rather than that 10 to 30 he avoided.

I read the parent as meaning to say that because Mercedes will be liable, even 1,000 accidents will be a real problem for them. This is a good thing because it shows that Mercedes expects a very low number of accidents while the system is enabled.

Mercedes accepting the risk like this is a massive step forward for these reasons. It sets a precedent that hopefully others will follow. They wouldn't transfer the risk if they didn't think it would profit them.
The real way to achieve level 4, in the Tesla software, is to improve its decision making AI. You'll pretty much never spot the neural network not detect something in all of the public FSD videos, at least when it's important to the operational safety of the car (the objects on the screen don't always match up with the NN since they likely have an renderable object budget). Where it always, always fails is in deciding "is is safe to turn right now" or "can i pull into the center of the divided highway for my unprotected left yet".
People seem to be reading the parent post as being critical of the show’s style. The last sentence pretty clearly indicates that it’s not. The poster is saying that Joey’s enthusiasm for what he’s doing is contagious, and is a huge part of the draw to the show. See for example videos of Julius Sumner Miller.

The occasional “ya prick!” or “asteraceae dungeon” remark and the signature sign-off are the icing, not the cake, and the poster is not suggesting that Joey should scrape off the icing. They’re just calling it the icing.

How to Ask for a Raise Amid Soaring Inflation
Although I use wayback machine infrequently (1-2 times per week), I hold it's one of the most important websites in existence - up there with wikipedia - it's the digital equivalent of a famous museum.

I do wish there was a wayback machine for youtube videos, because of all the now dead links in my technical and personal notes. I suspect the cost of hosting video is too high.

> Startups die all the time, for all sorts of reasons, but "large company started competing with it" is a rather rare one.

Currently rare, but as with other aspects of the market for startups, it is irregularly cyclical. Not too long ago Google accidentally killed startups every so often when they launched a product or service (the examples that particularly stick in my mind are Kiko - killed by the launch of Google Calendar in 2006, and Autumn AI, killed by Tensorflow around 2016). Go back to the pre-www days and Microsoft killed startups regularly, seemingly as a competitive sport. A reasonably entertaining account of one such is Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure, by Jerry Kaplan, founder of Go Corporation:

30 to 34 minutes . . . 13.9%

And you can tell that after saying 30 mins, people next tended to say 45 mins.

What are your goals? I don't mean to be snarky when I say that learning to ask a structured question (or being more disciplined about asking them) should be high on your priority list. Book like the pyramid principle about top down communication would probably be helpful.

1. It's probably fine. Based on your self-description, based on your self-description I imagine you're still struggling with syntax and program structure. Programming in either language will improve your abilities in that regard and let you focus more on the underlying ideas in your classes. That said, if you can stick to 1 or 2 languages for most of your CS classes that is preferable.

2. Data Structures and Algorithms is useful, how useful depends on your goals. If you want to make the big bucks you should aim to be fluent in at least a textbook's worth of material. If you don't feel the need to aim for the top, you can get away with less. I would start with Skienna:
https://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena...

If you really want to be a master, you can then go for CLRS:
https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-3rd-MIT-Press...

3. This depends on your goals. If you're aiming to be a top engineer now's one of your few chances to really focus in on lower level system stuff: Operating Systems, Networking, Compilers, or Databases. If you want a decent job fast of college, focus on data structures and algorithms and start trying to deploy code on something like digital ocean. That said you probably also want to do: https://missing.csail.mit.edu/

General advice:
Dive deep, understanding a few things really well is better than understanding many things shallowly (you will retain more info over time).

A mistake many people make when reading textbooks is to guess what words mean. In technical texts this usually leads to misunderstandings and ultimately a slower learning process. Take the time to understand the words even if it takes hours (imminent deadlines notwithstanding), you will go faster. (I once took a month to get through a single page of a textbook because it had so many new words and concepts).

Start using version control (preferably git). Try to at least every hour if you have new code.

Try to start writing well structured code now. You probably won't do a great job at first but by trying earlier you'll do better.

Related to above, start writing tests for your code. Code that is testable is usually better structured.

> The Office of Admission considers each student holistically within the context of their setting to build a dynamic University community. Given this, data points such as overall admission rates and average SAT scores shouldn’t influence a prospective student’s decision about whether to apply to Princeton.

But of course they should influence it. Data points of overall admission rates and average SAT scores are one of the best data for deciding to apply or not. It's weird how Princeton affirms they should not even "influence" it. It's a celebration of ignorance.
