I actually found the old reddit (pre-2016 or so) hard to use and full of even more useless content than it is today. I personally don't understand how people continue to use the "old" reddit interface.

I spend a lot of time reading incredibly engaging and useful content on reddit (web/official app) these days.

Tbh I wish SMTP had died a long time ago. It's the reason email is so terribly broken. We can't trust a sender is who they say they are. We can't stop spammers, we can't hide personal info, there is no e2e encryption. As a result everyone is afraid of clicking on links and companies no longer send confidential info through it. It's just a fancy notification service now ("there's a message waiting for you at our portal" crap). I understand why they do it but it's really poor UX having to log into portals just to read a message.

Of all the original internet protocols, SMTP is the ice that needs replacement the most IMO.

I'm non-techie. I am probably like 80% of the population when I say : even the low code stuff is difficult. The real issue is feeling like you need a map.In other words, this functionality goes here, that functionality goes there etc. It seems necessary to have some sort of compiler that lets you know the order of things. But no one ever discusses this when they talk about coding or building.So the mysteries are why some of these things don't reach the traction that they probably should. Solve the mysteries for people. Don't keep so many secrets because you think it will make us want to hire you or whatever. I have a ton of projects sitting on my laptop that I should probably be hiring someone to build...but I won't because every time I have a conversation with someone techie....it makes steam come out of my ears and raises my blood pressure 100 points. People did the same thing in the 80s with their vcr clocks....they'd rather just watch them blink than get someone to fix it.

Yes coding is a different language than most people are used to speaking, but it isn't as difficult as some like to make it look. And the average person would rather do something else (rather than sit and type all day).

In the end, I'll probably use Budibase because it's FOSS and it seems more like the needed framework than the others.

But the hate shouldn't surprise you...devs have been told for years that they were the Kings of the castle....and power concedes nothing. Anything that is perceived to reduce their power will be bashed.
"you’re wrong"? -- I didn't make any assertions.

How can you not get excited or at least, curiously so, to see how they solve this "problem"?

How is bolt going to be better or different than PayPal checkout or the amazing Apple Pay checkout (I literally use Safari for this).

PayPal checkout kinda sucks (the UX was bad when I used it years ago, not sure how its improved). Apple Pay is way better on UX, but can only be used in specific cases.

Simplifying something complex that the user uses as a one-click can/is exciting. I don't think Bolt is the solution though.

I did for a few years until I realized the futility of trying to convince drug addicts that not being on drugs was good for them.

Unfortunately, the reality is that most drug addicts prefer to be high, and the more they use, the stronger that preference. Worse, an aspect of many mental illnesses (especially the schizoid series) is paranoia regarding medication, so while ill most of the mentally ill will refuse their medications, though they may otherwise want to take their meds when not ill. (This is why stable housing is so important for the mentally ill: missing even a single dose can cause the illness to relapse, leading the individual to actively avoid medication.)
I selected the company I'm at because they offered me the highest salary of all the places I was interviewing. They also have a product in domain I'm very familiar with and are a size that would allow me to have a big impact on the engineering org. Basically this opportunity checked all the boxes I set out to check when I decided to leave my last job.

I'll vest my options here without exercising and if they turn into something one day that'll be nice. In the meantime I'll collect the nice salary I negotiated for myself and grow my career the way I wanted.

Edit:

A little clarification about my last role. I took that job because they were using tech I wanted to learn and they had a team I wanted to work with. They also offered me salary that was a healthy bump from where I was at at the time. I didn't early exercise those options back then because I didn't know enough about the company to justify plunking down the cash. After being there nearly 5 years I believe in the company a lot and see the exercise as a smart investment. I don't have that clarity yet for my current role and so it just doesn't make sense to me to early exercise.
Hi mate, Visual Studio is available for Mac, not sure about Linux. If you can get by with VS Code then you should be set.

Maybe Ryder is available in Linux? It should be just as good as VS.

Because, as that quoted sentence points out, the logic itself is simpler and the creators think that makes it easier to use for teaching.

Taken to an extreme, if all you want to show off is how proofs are constructed, then whether or not your logic is actually sound doesn't matter. Since the goal of the tool isn't correct proofs, the proofs don't need to have any soundness properties.
What I find shocking is not Google doing this or even how Go team didn't care about the issue and apparently banished him, but how much people here think this is an acceptable behavior and how much people take their time to defend Google and to justify this behavior blaming not Google but Drew because "it is hard to deal with him".
I use a tool called rcm[0], which is essentially a set of shell scripts for managing symlinks from $HOME into $HOME/.dotfiles. $HOME/.dotfiles can then be a git repo.

Some notes:

1. rcm lets you decide make host-specific or host-agnostic dotfiles. For example, I can declare that I want a different `.ssh/config` file for each host, and rcm will figure out which `.ssh/config` to symlink based on the current machine's hostname.

2. The installation process is very simple. It's just shell scripts, so you don't have to worry about a C/C++ compiler or having any pre-reqs installed. Operating system packages exist for the common platforms, and there's also a convenient way to "build" from source using configure && make && make install. The from source option is particularly convenient if you need to change the installation prefix to a user-writable location on a multi-user machine.

3. I use SSH Agent Forwarding[1] to avoid needing to install private keys (either new keys or copies of existing keys) on all the hosts I manage. This lets me git push and pull to my dotfiles repo on all hosts.

4. Taking it a step further, some shell config I have is host-specific (e.g., certain PATH modifications I only want to apply on certain hosts). Rather than use the host-specific dotfile feature of rcm for the whole .bashrc, I factor my shell config files into multiple files, that I then source. One of these files is called `$HOME/.util/host.sh`, which is host specific. Again, rcm creates a symlink from this to the correct host-specific file automatically by hostname.

If you're curious to learn more about any of this, my dotfiles are public.[2]

I just finished working on a .NET backend for a year and a half on mac w/ vscode, I found the experience to work pretty well. I did however choose to run a cloud windows VM to work with .NET Framework 4.7 libraries that needed to be integrated into the project, but after a few months worth of work I was back 100% on mac.

Unfortunately, if you have to reach back further than .net core or standard then you'll need to work in a windows environment – Cloud VMs are pretty cool and cheap if you don't want to use your hardware for a partition.
I recommend reading up on ethylene. "Paper bag" and "ripening" can also be included in the query for more practical applications.
From the post:
"That may sound paradoxical, and it highlights a problem in the use of statistics. There really is a clear, strong and statistically significant correlation between Mr Cage’s annual output and deaths by falling into swimming pools (at least, in the US). And there is also no reason whatever for believing it to be true.

There is every reason for Mr Vigen winning an award for the most entertaining demonstration of one of the most important lessons in statistical science: correlation is not causation."
Possibly? It seems like it's more aggressive about prioritizing the focused application to me. This is bad in my case because it's doing so to the point where I can't play games on one monitor and also watch a YouTube video on the other.

Legally those things are not similar at all. The government (FCC) can only fine broadcasters for cursing and pornography because RF broadcast spectrum is a limited public resource. The government generally has no legal authority to restrict content in other media delivered through other channels such as print, cable TV, and Internet. (There are some limited exceptions for obscenity and commercial content targeted toward children.) Any media restrictions would have to take the form of a voluntary code of conduct.

There are centuries worth of Supreme Court rulings on this topic. You should read them before making such suggestions.
You are comparing Tesla's worldwide sales across all models versus Kia's single-model sales in one country.

For a proper comparison, Kia sells 200k vehicles/month (for 600k/quarter). And is considered one of the smaller major automakers.

Kias don't get covered in the news because cheap, reliable cars that don't have issues aren't newsworthy. They're the standard. Teslas are in the news all the time because they're expensive pieces of crap that have constant issues from the moment they roll of the assembly line.

> Just make a ducking dumb electric car already! We don’t need 4 screens in every car.

The drive/power train are incredibly expensive and manufacturers are looking for ways to cut costs. The incumbents might be able to do save money by reusing components out of other cars but the reality is that all the little switches, knobs, levers, and such cost money.

What Tesla did to reduce cost in the 3/Y was omit all the custom interfaces and inherit tooling costs, replacing it all with what's basically an Intel Atom based Tablet you can get from Best Buy for $100. This allowed them to use more premium materials to trim out the interior.

Until they can bring down battery costs, we're probably going to see more of this.

The Economist recently reported on "The coming food catastrophe". The subheading read "War is tipping a fragile world towards mass hunger. Fixing that is everyone’s business".

Our product is used in commercial and industrial food kitchens to make them run more efficiently. We help everyone from mom-and-pop shops to factories. Our customers use our apps to calculate production costs, reduce waste, calculate nutrition, find suppliers, and order ingredients. The last few months have been particularly busy for us because of inflation and rising food prices. We hope to help as many food SMB's make it through the recession.

Our plan is to be in every business kitchen in the world so our core features are available for free and the subscription price is affordable to all. I18n is one of our biggest considerations because our users are all over the world and majority speaks languages other than English.

We bootstrapped ourselves to 100,000+ kitchens so our customers aren't worried about us folding because we can't raise the next round of funding.

Unless you were recently hired, you should look out for another job and quit. The argument that you are already compensated as per market standards only holds true if you were hired less than an year ago. Also, the company should have given you raise even if it was smaller value in percentage terms. Not giving any raise is a clear indication.
Oh, just wait until your hear about the curricula in police training academies!

Whole days are spent watching dash- and body-worn-cam videos of officers getting ambushed, ostensibly to teach ways to mitigate harm, but in practice it just has the effect of deepening the chasm between "us" officers and "them" citizens by instilling a deep sense of fear bordering on what may be considered an anticipatory PTSD. I mean, talk about a garbage biased dataset...

(To any pedants in the audience, the trauma occurs when watching the videos, so "post-traumatic" is appropriate here :))

Not to derail this thread but what’s two faced and charlatan about JF/DHH? Or are you referring to someone else?
Don't worry about it, I've showed it to the best people in the field (you would think), and haven't gotten much of a response out of most of them so far. It is a VERY conservative field. At least nobody so far said it's wrong. I am starting to submit now to conferences, let's see how long it takes until people realise what they've got here.

This is not a push-button technology like machine learning. You need to either experience using the logic, which is difficult right now, because there is no proof assistant yet implementing it (there will be something in a few months, I hope). Or you understand the arguments I make in the paper, which so far only two other people sort of have, both of which have a Ph.D. in the field.

But let me assure you, this is the simplest logic out there. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them!

Much more documentation and tooling for this is necessary. It will take some time until it is accessible to most, but that time will come.

> I think it’s rather that complexity naturally expands to fill up the available capacity (of complexity-handling ability). That is, unless conscious and continuous effort is spent to contain and reduce complexity, it will naturally grow up to the limit where it causes too much problems to be viable anymore

I disagree that this is something that "naturally" happens. A lot of this thread is about how adding complexity is either a deliberate choice made by software developers or just that the developer simply was never taught how to do it the simple way--both of which illustrate a gap in software development education. When the tutorial about How To Create a TODO App starts with "Step 1: Install Kubernetes", I'd argue we have an education problem.
You give far too little agency to Congress in these matters. The PATRIOT ACT, CLOUD ACT, FOSTA/SESTA, and other laws were passed with bipartisan support. Currently, members of Congress are reenacting the Crypto Wars with legislation like EARN IT. Congress needs no help to undermine the rights of its citizens. It's ironic that the same people are now unhappy when a state is copying their own methods. Ultimately, this a case of Democrats being hoisted by their own petard.

The Fourth Amendment does not need to be fixed. It needs protection, and not just from Republicans, but from abuse by any government body or agency. That Google can allegedly stop data collection (although I'm not convinced that any such "switch" exists) is irrelevant to the fundamental matter. If Democrats want to protect privacy, they shouldn't have interfered with it in the first place.
Dead matter decays quickly (due to hot&wet climate) on the surface instead of settling into the ground and decaying there. And rich ecosystem also grows fast, picking up any nutrients immediately. And high rainfall etc means nutrients would be washed out quickly. These three things mean that soil in tropical rainforests isn't nutrient-rich, because the nutrients are constantly reused everywhere else.

I mean, they're not entirely wrong. Apple has long subscribed to the Club Bouncer model of security: "bad stuff can't hurt our users if we control who's allowed in and what they're allowed to do at all times." Sideloading is like sneaking past the bouncer, and the club owner (Apple) is afraid that someone will sneak past the bouncer with a gun. Which is possible, of course.

On the other hand, Google and other companies take the TSA approach instead: it doesn't block who can come in, but it stops everyone at the door and takes away anything that might be dangerous. Sometimes, that results in removal of harmless water bottles, but overall it allows more people to be more free, with around the same level of security as the Club.

I very much dislike Apple's garden wall model (and the way they occasionally use it to steal ideas from devs), which is why the only Apple product I use is my company-mandated work MacBook. But obviously, their model works for them, considering how many people love their products, so...
> This throws me back to the good ol' days of fitting all software in a few dozens/hundreds of KBs on Speccy and similar systems.

And yet very few developers would want to go back to the days when we had no syntax highlighting and editors couldn't hold more than 64kb of text at a time and the OS could only run one thing at a time. Times change (thankfully). The 64kb machines now live in the domain of hobby projects, not machines for "getting things done." (There's a rather active group of folks who still hack on the C64, C128, and similar machines. Search for the "MEGA65" to find a recent (late 2021/early 2022) machine which was built solely for that crowd.)
I think combining a version of your post in SoylentNews and adding a few examples would make an interesting post. Are you still working on this?

In the page 51 of your tesis is a form with a lot of parameters to tweak. Is that a manual process or there is some automatic adjustment?

I just noticed that you have some examples in the "Appendix b" of your thesis (page 72 of the pdf). The first time I stopped reading once I reached the bibliography.
Ask HN: Could Bitcoin be replaced by an ERC-20 token?
One of the main arguments against Bitcoin is its energy consumption.

On the other hand, it is often said that there will be no new blockchain that achieves what Bitcoin has achieved: Being distributed without a premine that makes the founders rich and with no way for the people in power to inflate the supply.

What would happen is an ERC-20 token would be created that is distributed just as Bitcoin. In a way that everyone who holds Bitcoin automatically owns the same amount of this token? A fork of Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain, so to say.
