I had this experience a couple of months ago when I noticed a gap in the shopify app ecosystem. I saw some comments discussing this need, found nothing in the store, and had a friend starting a shop that could potentially use it as well.

Worked on the app for 2-3 months, polishing, coding, learning tailwind and a bit of formal UI design in the process. Kept thinking "It's not ready yet. Just needs this hook into the UI. Needs React. Needs a Rails backend. Needs built in email support"... As you can guess, I never shipped.

Fast forward 7 months later and I found myself browsing the store again, and yep, found TWO applications in the store that solved the same issue I was attempting to solve months earlier. With installs, and reviews! Got pretty down on myself for a couple of days with the author's same sense of happiness, doubt, sadness..

I'm working on another application where the same 'hesitate to ship' tendencies started rearing their ugly heads. I've started experimenting with just setting deadlines for shipping, feature complete, etc.

I'm submitting the app to Shopify today. And no, I don't consider it anywhere near 'ready'.
If your phone supports it `fastboot flashing unlock` is the simple and straight forward way of unlocking your bootloader, that's not using a random binary.

While LineageOS doesn't advertise or provide support for re-locking, GrapheneOS explicitly does and I can highly suggest it over the rest of the AOSP-based projects if your goal is maintaining high security on a supported device.

Is it really a bad thing if you hyper-grow by just focusing on one client? It takes time to get a lead, so why not focus on the leads you don’t need to get?
> Cities to do not have fixed capacity.

That doesn’t mean they don’t have optimal capacities.

The metrics you’re optimizing for are not necessarily high density and high population — like a dinner party, which would be impossible to scale and would ruin the experience if you tried.

> I have not heard of extant cities hitting fundamental scaling constraints in and other way.

You’re ignoring all other negatives to living in a city and high population density.

Crime. No need for community involvement; everything is provided by paid municipal services. Not knowing your neighbors. Not having space to breath, or to have a woodshop, or to garden.

The list is endless. You might not care about optimizing for those properties, but lots of other people do.

> Then why aren't rents lower?

They are in plenty of places, you just don’t want to live there.
You don’t need a crime to sue somebody. You need a tort.
Likely it is not about the mass, but about the arrangement of clumps of matter circling around the super massive black holes in the accretion disk. During the presentation they speak about much shorter time-scales for Sgr A* in comparison with M87, saying that for Sgr A* they were "making the image while it was changing" [1]. Also see other variations of the image (many teams analyzed data independently) here [2].

However, particular servers in the Netherlands have been hosting a lot of CSAM and revenge porn type of material. The EU is increasingly becoming a major host for illegal and dangerous material. This is a reality and a problem.

The problem IMHO is that it is really hard to have a reasonable discussion on how to tackle this. Reasonable voices are often the quietest.

In Germany we woke up to really bad experience with pedophiles actually loudly undermining political parties in the past (particularly the Greens). Just as a reminder: This is not all black and white.
Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl.

Good luck.
I do not see your point. Sometimes consistent mutations between modules is wanted. Monoliths lets you do it. Perhaps you discovered your module boundaries were wrong, you create a supermodule to encaspulate both to coordinate the joint transaction and then split up later a different way and so on.

Module boundaries are refactorable.

Importantly, what if the alternatives you end up with achieve the same things with microservices end up causing a ball of mud of services, reimplementing transaction logic that belong in your DB in your homegrown network protocols?

You seem to say that some things are not possible with microservices and therefore this leads to cleaner code. My retort is that the kind of things one sometimes come up with as workarounds to make things still work for microservices are so complex that the cure is worse than the disease you wanted to cure in the first place.

IQ in humans strongly correlates with almost any measure of performance you pick, so I think its definitely telling us some measure of capability even if not the whole story. I imagine people with ADHD do have trouble with some types of tasks (other than IQ tests), or we wouldn't think of it as a disorder?

Of course, we can't necessarily expect this trend to continue for machines taking IQ tests!

IQ tests may not test world understanding to a large degree, but definitely do test ability to adapt to new problems. Its hard to define understanding, so I prefer to stick with quantifiable measures of performance.
yes, that is why i explained that
If only we took this much care in the news. How many times has both sides misquoted someone? Yet people only seem to care when it’s misquoting the Coinbase CEO.
Was it open speculation though?

Rich people and politicians get insider trading information all the time. It may be hard to prove (or effectively impossible to investigate in the case of US politicians due to Obama), but such speculations usually don't fall out of the sky.
Eh, it's something people sort of laugh about now, but in 1998 it was probably the right choice to change it to sorcerer. It made it much clearer to children (and adults, to be honest), that it was a book about magic. And 1998 was still a time when many families didn't have internet access, so you were more likely to run into it at the bookstore or library, so the title needed to be more descriptive.
Madoff used the same approach to tell everything was safe: "By purportedly selling its holdings for cash at the end of each period, Madoff avoided filing disclosures of its holdings with the SEC, an unusual tactic.".[0]

This way, each time the market was down, he would answer, me paraphrasing: "nothing to worry about, I was liquid".

Seen from outside, this feels the same... now suddenly backed by something way more secure, no external audits.

As somebody totally outside of the crypto currency bubble, I looked for the first time today at the official market capitalization of these currencies, these are mind blowing, I simply do not understand how they can be so.

I'm having a hard time imagining boarding an airplane for a 6hr flight, whipping out the TE and headphones and then spending the entire flight composing a quality song. Really, who does that? There is just too much noise from the plane and I'd feel like seeking attention.
tbh the image isnt inspiring. kinda like a low res computer simulation.
This is the correct answer. People are lazy; politicians, police, your mail person, YOU. It's much easier to put on some coffee and start going through CSAM alerts from the emails and texts you AI sent you overnight and see what looks promising.

USDT actually has a cash out mechanism directly with Tether (the company), right? If it is trading at 0.9935 (coinmarketcap showing this now), what's stopping people from buying 1 million USDT and selling back to the company to make a $6500 profit? Is moving it around very slow? Is the cash out mechanism limited to X per day or something?

Why not release it regardless? Many SaaS offerings have competition, you don’t have to aim for a field where competition doesn’t exist. In fact, no competition is usually red flag about the idea.
You just need a pencil and paper to write a song on an airplane! Also, why would you want to do that? Can't think of a less inspiring environment.

The first project sounds like you just thought of a really clever caching mechanism :) if the data rarely changes and the cache is still valid then why not, I think you did find the “proper” way to do it!

As programmers we tend to want to generalize a lot, when in fact you can get to 80% of solving the real pain of a task with the first 20% of the work. The rest of the work can usually be done by a human much faster and with more trust than a three-thousand-if-elif-else solution would get.
It posts a slack message to a channel, which triggers an alert on my desktop. My build/test/deploy cycle (for the GAE app, which is the primary service) is currently about 25 minutes. I'm happy with the flow.

My only real complaint is that Github Actions offers almost nothing if a build fails. I try to put some useful info in the slack message, but often I have to download and grep the build logs.
Besides reliability, the moment you need to scale up, you wish you were on Heroku or a real PaaS. Although their pricing model is unacceptable and there’s many better options by now.

We too use some Hetzner servers at work for infrequently accessed databases that have no need to be highly available. We recently migrated non-production logging to a Hetzner dedicated with 8TB of HDD. Almost unbeatable price.

Choose the right tool for the job. I have nothing against Hetzner, but I’ve been seeing them mentioned dozens of times in unsuitable contexts by now.

Ask HN: Dependabot-like service on other Git hosting providers?
If I were to move away from GitHub, one of the services I'd miss the most is their integration with Dependabot.

Is there something similar to it on other providers (sourcehut, GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, etc)?

To extend the discussion, I'm not sure if the vulnerability/security reports are part of Dependabot or something else, but they are also very useful.

Anything that helps you identify your values so you can align your habits and routines with them:

- Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl (existential psychologist and holocaust survivor - some principles of finding meaning in life's circumstances from someone who went through a concentration camp)

- 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson (Despite the politicized figure he became, the book is more about finding meaning in adopting responsibility with each rule being an example of how to do so)

- Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Mason (light hearted self help, but some nice principles in it)

- Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (a little dated, but contains some nice aphorisms. Audible has a really great version read by Richard Armitage, the guy who played Thorin in the Hobbtit)

- Give the New Testament a shot (not everyone's cup of tea, but several billion have found it helpful in finding a meaningful life so its probably worth a shot)

Also, don't neglect audio books! I've found going for walkins while listening to these kind of books a great way to relax and reflect.

It was strange to just mention that movie. I remember Ashton Kutcher more from his role on "That 70's Show".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That_%2770s_Show

"Its eight seasons, consisting of 200 episodes, made it Fox's second-longest-running live-action sitcom ever behind Married... with Children,"

Also I remember him from when he hosted (and apparently co-created) Punk'd

I had completely forgotten about him, but had a generally positive perception of him. That is no longer true.
Yes and no.

There's two ends to the spectrum: over-enginerring and spagetti. Basically overplanned layers of abstraction agreed by distributed committee vs unplanned mess.

A bunch of modern frameworks have gone far too far over the abstraction cliff, but as bad as it gets for people wanting to contribute to those core libraries, the APIs provided for extension and integration are mostly sane, as is error logging. Most importantly of all, they tend to be reasonably stable and secure at their core: updates are less mandatory and LTS cycles are longer for past library versions.

So while your complaints are valid, I think the pros and cons weigh heavily against WordPress. Yes, when something broke I could always dive into my WP install with a quick fix, but I never had any way of being sure it worked everywhere (automated testing is nightmarish), never knew how long my fix would last; whether it would be an editor contribution or a plug-in update that would break it, etc. etc. Side effects in WordPress are absolutely out of control.
Sounds like you could cure the polymer while the container is spinning...

The original idea (polymer lenses) is definitely a huge potential for amateur astronomes making large refracting telescopes.

At the end of the article they mention being able to make large mirrors with liquid metal using the same technique as for the lenses. I do not quite understand how this is supposed to work.
I've worked as a normal employee at 2 startups and both failed. Some people invested their own money for different classes of stock.

Before going to a startup I would tell everyone to read this post about liquidation preferences and cap tables.

Who invests money? What about the second round of investors? A lot of people think that the people who were their the longest should have priority but it is the exact opposite. The people who invest last get the best deal on a return on their investment.

Ask these questions to the founder / owners of the company. If they don't answer your questions directly take that as a sign that they won't be truthful and straightforward when you are an employee.
I’d say it was more “an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay”.
I wasn’t talking about nerfing C-extensions. You can get the same power out of a smaller, well-defined interface that would give the interpreter a lot more leeway for optimization. This optimizations would therefore make native Python packages more feasible, making the ecosystem less dependent on C extensions. Anyway, I don’t think people use Python because of the C-extensions packages (although there are certainly some exceptions e.g., pandas), I think people use C extensions because the native performance is so poor.

I believe the word revenue was simply elided in this case. i.e., parse as “sales revenue.”

(I’m noticing elsewhere in this thread that others are interpreting “sales” as sales departments or salespeople. Perhaps it’s a cultural thing, where the meaning of the plain word varies depending on where you live.)

Folks, the whole point of this effort and what stands it apart from previous GIL-removal efforts is that it's carefully designed to:

1. Give the performance-benefits of GIL removal for multi-threaded code.

2. Not hurt the performance of single-threaded code, hopefully improving it too.

3. Not break any pure Python code that relies on the semantics of the GIL.

4. Minimize impact to extensions.

If you're commenting here that this is going to break things w/o having read the design doc, you're contributing FUD. It's disappointing to see the discussion go this way.

Here's Sam's design doc:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/18CXhDb1ygxg-YXNBJNzfzZsD...

Some highlights:

The project aims for a concurrency model that matches the threads + shared memory model implemented in common operating systems and in programming languages like Java, C++, and Swift. We also aim for similar safety guarantees to Java and Go -- the language doesn’t prevent data races, but data races in user code do not corrupt the VM state. (Notably, Swift and C++ do not have this property: data races in those languages may corrupt VM state leading to segfaults). This strikes a balance between safety and performance. Weaker guarantees, like in Swift and C++, can make debugging difficult, while much stronger guarantees can limit flexibility or hamper performance.

Compatibility:

The vast majority of Python programs should not require any changes to Python code to continue working. Most of the issues I have encountered so far are due to being based on 3.9.0a3 and libraries using features from the 3.9 final release. A few of the issues have been due to changes to code object internals or the bytecode format, but so far I have been able to address those by making changes to the interpreter to improve backwards compatibility.

All extensions that use the Python C API will require re-compilation, even the few that are limited to the stable ABI. (The reference counting changes do not preserve the stable ABI).

To compile successfully, some C API extensions will need minor modifications, typically replacement of direct access of PyObject reference count fields with the Py_REFCNT macro.

To run successfully, some C API extensions need modifications to protect global data structures in C code that were previously protected by the GIL. For an example, see these two patches to NumPy.
It's actually one of the sharpest images ever made - in terms of angular resolution. The Sag.A* ring is about 51 microarcseconds in diameter. The EHT has a theoretical resolution of ~25 micro arcseconds. For comparison NirCam on Webb has a pixel resolution of 70 miliarcseconds (about 2800 times worse resolution than EHT).

The reason it looks blurry is that the black hole features are close to the resolution of EHT so it's only a dozen or so pixels worth of information enlarged to typical image size.

EHT is essentially a radio telescope with a dish the size of the Earth. The only way to get higher angular resolution is to use higher frequencies (which they are working on) or use radio telescopes in space to get longer baselines than the diameter of the Earth.
