The web wasn't taken over by advertising and walled gardens. It was always like that. Most of the folks experiencing those Angelfire or GeoCities sites back in the day got online through a paid portal. Popups and banners were ubiquitous (web 0, gopher 1).

The web never quite met Ted Nelson's (among others) dreams. It's the 21st century and not only do I not have bidirectional links but there's no hope of Nelson-style transclusion. [1] And Xanadu [2] remains a dream.

I'd be more interested in seeing or helping explore lost ideas like those than in creating some shadow of the actual 1990s. That would allow us to explore other past futures (alternative presents?) than this one. And why the nostalgia trip for old web if not exploring what we lost?

My own feelings aside, Do might be a good case study. I don’t think he’s an intentional scammer; he just had an idea that he was convinced was brilliant, without the knowledge or maybe imagination to see how spectacularly dangerous it was. I personally avoided Terra/UST from genesis because I immediately saw that is was exploitable with a big enough position on UST. But it took some searching to find the exact peg mechanism, and by the time it collapsed, it had gotten so big that I started to question my own judgement. Do might have caught whiffs of the already risky ideas surrounding algorithmic stablecoins, and pushed forward something that looked passably similar at his introductory level of knowledge. The apparent possibilities at this level are far greater than what is possible with more knowledge in the area. The investor class is also stuck at this level of knowledge, because they make their money by raising from and selling to the level down from there. I don’t see any distinction between crypto and traditional equities in this regard, except that the SEC is supposed to protect ignorant consumers, which they clearly can’t, and the government is there to backstop any disasters at the expense of everybody smart enough to avoid it in the first place, which makes them the dumb ones in the end. So yeah, it was a stupid idea, but look hard enough and you’ll find the same stupid ideas behind every investment with any hope of keeping up with the cost of feeding, housing, and educating your kids. If there is evidence that shows that Do is the one who pulled the rug, then my theory is flawed. Basically, it is that people who achieve great investment success are operating at a level of genuine enthusiastic ignorance that cannot be faked by a scammer or an expert.

It certainly wasn't pushed by parcplace. They expected us to use change sets while their own package management was developed.

We ended up going direct to OTI at the time. It about tripled the licensing costs for a smalltalk seat. Due to the costs, it was uncommon in ST shops.
LSSP, apparently.

Maybe no one in your school is getting involved with it, but her school was doing diagnosis and referrals to external psychs.
For induction to work, you need to have a base-case to apply the inductive rule to.

I don't think Girard would ever seriously have made the absolute claim that all desire is mimetic.
What do the stats about “endings” mean?
True indeed. I was patting myself on the back for graduating engineering school without any help from WikiPedia or YouTube. But these legends wrote all those universe describing equations without the help of a computer.

They're not telling people to sell their Nasdaq positions.

They're telling their portfolio companies to shore up their balance sheets and extend their runways in case raising money at previous peak multiples continues to be difficult.
Naive responses like this either do not understand him or listens to mainstream opinion too much. It is neither intellectual, nor inquisitive. I disagree with him very much but there is no doubt he is an independent thinker.

The sad thing is that these types of hit pieces about [insert hot name here] tend to work in terms of being an article that people both click on and discuss. I try to avoid clicking into them now, and if I do happen to, I might try to block that news source unless I have seen other value from it. It's just noise.
This post is not really about robot vacuums and laundry racks, but about how simple ideas can elude human beings for long stretches of time, and then in retrospect look obvious.
I wonder what this could be that Apple feels it is close to consumer ready. Apple targets the premium mass market. They do not release products that sell a few million; they release products that sell 10 million or more a year. Anything less is a failure.

So either Apple has figured out something really compelling in AR/VR that everyone--not just gamers and nerds--will want, or they are reaching.
That's a slogan, not a solution. You talk like that would stop school attacks, when it would not. There have been many mass-casually school attacks with knives.

If we really want to solve this problem, strict and comprehensive media safety laws will need to be part of the solution.
The book children of ruin explores the concept of a hyperintellegent cephalopods that build a planet and eventually discover faster than light travel. It's the second book in the series but great sci-fi book that explores different typee of consciousness.
On the other hand, their JQL is quite useful (I use it daily), although that is not what most users think of as “search”.

Or, in other words, for using CO2 efficiently on an environment-temperature heat pump, you need it to sustain higher pressures at both the hot and cool sides, and both the pump and nozzle to survive dealing with a higher density fluid that acts in many ways like a liquid.

That explains why people keep searching for a different gas. What is interesting is that it's probably the best gas for that kind of cycle on environment-temperature, as it's too cold for water and amonia, but a low condensing pressure is a benefit here.
My suspicion would be that the combination of the words "kill" and "all" in close proximity is the problem. It shouldn't be hard to imagine the sorts of messages this was intended to catch.

What's disappointing here is that human review either didn't occur, or failed to recognize that this wasn't a post that was intended to be caught by this filter.
Ab rollers are good. Start kneeling then progress to standing.

Also hanging knee lifts, leg lifts, and l-sits.

L-sit pull-ups are great for time efficiency. Those are mainly what I do for core these days, along with some squats/deadlifts, and it seems to be enough to maintain pretty strong abs.
My largest gripe with Corsair (Elgato) here is that I can't set padding on a per-tile/button basis, as it seems icon packs, system icons, and native Stream Deck icons come in varying sizes.

Second, the profile switching is hit or miss with Electron (or adjacent) applications, which I don't fault Corsair for. Looking at you, Discord and Slack, which I would love to set a contextual app profile for.
They’re trying to avoid a wage-price spiral which would likely lead to stagflation.

There are futures to hedge inputs, especially for farming:

- Diesel for tractors

- Fertilizers

- The weather itself

- interest rates

- real estate

AFAIK the only inputs without derivatives are labor cost and pesticides.
The fact is few teachers at the university level are interested in teaching the majority of classes that students take. Some professors may enjoy teaching the higher grad level coursework, but overall professors are generally terrible teachers.

Teachers go to learn how to teach, in the abstract sense, for 4 years, to go to teach high school kids. They learn the techniques and tools to effectively translate subjects and educate people.

Professors do not do this.
I appreciate the reference.

But, I don't think those are vultures. They are bald eagles. I'm not sure if owls scavenge, but I do know they primarily hunt. Eagles both hunt and scavenge. Vultures primarily scavenge.

What you're missing is the larger picture.

Anyone paying attention in the industry knew in 2019, pre-pandemic, that something wasn't quite right. Companies were hiring way more people than they needed, growing way too fast, building products that didn't make sense, pivoting to increasingly user hostile products, etc. But it kept going because VC and other investor money just kept flowing in.

Then pandemic hit. Everyone who thought things weren't right in 2019 expected the reality check to finally be cashed and for a major industry correction to happen. It should have happened. But it didn't.

Instead the Fed poured incredible amounts of money into the market. We saw stocks instantly u-turn and companies that in 2019 you were suspicious of were all of a sudden getting even more ridiculous valuations.

This happened for what is in retrospect and obvious reason: Big name investors and VCs needed time to cash out. And they got it. We saw two years of record numbers of IPOs. Myself and many others pointed out over a year ago that something wasn't right, that this looked like investors rushing to cash in their chips and get out before everything came crashing down.

Inflation started to rise, and indeed the game came to an end. Now we're going to see a crash that will be much harder than we though we would have seen in 2020 because policy has allowed already unhealthy companies to explode and grow even larger. And they're all interconnected so it's going to be ugly.

How many of your company's customers are other start ups or other tech companies? We have a generation of companies led by people who have never really seen a recession, forget one that impacts tech, completely clueless about what's coming. First we saw consumer spending absolutely wreck big name companies bottom lines. But this is very likely to start spreading as more startups that depend on other startups revenue streams start to miss their targets.

This current generation of founders might be clueless about recession and major downturns, but the people in charge at places like Sequoia sure as hell aren't.
Major nitpick: ARK is not a hedge fund but an ETF. My understanding is that it tracks an actively managed list of public stocks.

I'm sure it's not much consolation, but "actual" hedge funds are for the sophisticated investor. These funds have access to more sophisticated ways of wiping out investor money.
Maybe it’ll tether to the iPhone. It already has all that and just needs a display
This is really cool. I’m sure this helps you develop a relationship with the business owners, too, which I would think helps foster more of a sense of community for everyone. Very neat.

I’ve written a few rudimentary regex-based searches engines and thought I was a badass until I encountered the need for ANDing and ORing, realizing that they are often (at least in English) interchangeable and also opposite in meaning, depending on context. That’s when you give up and use an actual search engine.
I had a couch that was slightly shorter than the vacuum, which kept getting wedged underneath. Didn't eat too many USB cables, surprisingly.
This is also exactly how i use HA. It works quite well. I don't have too many automations.

Hey—I saw some of your past comments on your interviewing experience. Have you contributed to any open source projects? It can be helpful as a reference point in interviewing.

If you want to drop me an email, the least I can do is offer some feedback on your resume / online profile(s).
But my understanding is that Matter is conceptually just porting Zigbee to run on IPv6, and no longer being tied to the special Zigbee variation of IEEE 802.15.4.

Matter re-uses the Zigbee Cluster library for actual device control. It can operate over any layer 1 and 2 solutions that support ipv6, but the blessed implementations seem to be Ethernet, Wifi, Thread, and Bluetooth.

It will remain local control, on Apple's insistence. Apple is pretty stubborn, in that the only cloud server allowed to be involved in its home automation systems is iCloud, which is basically only used to let Siri on your phone control your home when away from home.
Isn't the product already built? Why are they continuing to invest in R&D?
Last one was mid march, so every few months. The current plan (last I checked) is 2 more in this google-sponsored free program.
The parity cannot be used in the degraded scenario that was under discussion.

See eg here where the increasing disk size vs specified unrecoverable read error rate is explored in relation to the question at hand: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1670144 (in the article Adam Leventhal from Sun, the makers of ZFS, talks about the need for triple parity).

Also, the conclusion "ensure your backups are really working" is an important point irrespective of this question, since you'll also risk losing data due to buggy software, human errors, ransomware, etc.
Beauty of open source, make a fork with those pull requests accepted and involve the devs that made them.
I was thinking about getting one for my IDE. Any one try that?
Most of what people learn is from the day-to-day, not what they are actually studying. What does that tell you? Instead of ad hominem for 'non-academic merits of university life' perhaps they are not in fact being instructed properly. This makes sense because graduate school is such a grind for personal research instead of actually educating other people.

Teachers need to design their programs around actual learning principles like: Deep Processing, Chunking, Building Associations, Dual Coding, Deliberate Practice.
Pixar is academics who use stories to showcase their technology. Disney Animation is artists who use technology to tell stories.

I worked at Walt Disney Animation Studio (WDAS) for a while and this was the best best explanation of the differences between Pixar and WDAS
It's not so secret, TBH. Usually the intel microarchitecture manuals are detailed enough to describe how many and what type of execution ports there are, how many stages in the pipeline, the size of the reorder buffer, latency of most u-ops, and any frontend hazards. The super secret stuff are things like the design of the branch predictors, memory disambiguation, etc, as well as the low-level tricks to optimize each of these down to the fewest gate delays (for high clockspeeds, etc), as well as where and how they figure out placement, etc.
This tracks with my experiences. Classical macro shortcut keys are great if you can spare the effort of preparing an ultimate workstation setup for them. But the majority of the workflow you want to have concentrated on a vocabulary of a few keys that you reuse a lot like "copy" or "undo". And that only needs a few keys, and moreover, it's usually pretty contextual to a specific app and not strictly about keys but the whole range of inputs - some apps need you scrubbing through timelines and tracks, others need zoom and rotate. Lots of apps have modal toolbars, but they don't all use the same shortcuts to select the pencil tool or the crop tool, so you have layers of configuration to solve to get to the point where you can even test the setup.

So devices with screen displays for shortcuts like the Stream Deck, the Xencelabs Quick Keys, or the many DIY programmable solutions are pretty indispensable because they let you trial and error ideas, and give you a context hint while also keeping the keys located in the same place - they let you ramp up to a traditional macro experience as you start getting pages of stuff you want to trigger. And this goes even more so if they are able to respond to desktop generated events and present the right context automatically.

A nice cheap alternative to the dedicated hardware is the various tools that are smartphone-based: if you're going to look away from the screen to browse, and you want to trial ideas for shortcuts, then tactility isn't so important and the rest is a matter of getting a good software experience.
What is a church planter? I’m imagining a flower planter out in front of a church, but that can’t be what you mean.
Key Point from the Article:

The sit-up and crunch violate all of these principles. The exercise asks you to pick up something heavy, but because you’re lying on the ground and the heavy thing is your upper body, there’s no way for you to brace your core and shift the effort to the big, high-capacity muscles of your legs.

The best way to train your "Core" (both front and back) is to do some Yoga Asanas and Bandhas.
I got nauseous after a few hours of Half Life Alyx. Until then my test was going smoothly. I would imagine most games where you can move freely would be fairly bad for me. I even took a Dramamine to try to play some more which worked but wasn’t something I’d want to do often
Ask HN: Is there a truly solid low-code to build Twitter or Reddit clone?
Hi there,
I'd like to build a full featured Reddit or Twitter clone with most of the common functionality. The requirement I have is that it needs to be production-ready. I also need things like image uploading, plans, stripe integration etc.
Is there a low-code solution that you think that'd help me build the frontend and the backend?
I just can't find something that can really help with both frontend and backend.

I'm thinking something like retool (frontend) and firebase (backend) combo. Is that that route I should take?

EDIT: Just to give some more context as people were asking:
The features I'm looking to have are:
Nothing really special but here are some requirements.

1. Allow people to login using LinkedIn, Twitter, or Gmail. 2FA auth.
2. Allow people to post news articles, comment on others, upvote, downvote.
- Have nested comments
3. Scan for NSFW images and bad words to hide them.
4. Admin tasks: remove, block, throttle spam (as much as possible)
5. Have people and company profile page (similar to what you see on Twitter)
- Have some special sections on those profile pages to allow folks to have links (CTAs) to things they care about.

6. Verify people for authenticity.
--- Engage folks ---
1. Show Trending topics, send emails, send other notifications to get people to engage.

--- business side---
Allow companies/people to login, pay and ad display ads to show up on different places on the app.
Understanding is being able to predict.

Predicting with sufficient accuracy is a prerequisite when it comes to rule.

It becomes more and more difficult to show that some group is able to do so.

Therefore, bar any "some can but are all evil-minded", stating that we less and less can understand seems to be a solid case.

The next question is "why?", and a potential answer seems "because everything is already too big and growing: more and more agents interact more and more frequently".
thankfully, in representative democracy we bend to the will of oligarchs represented by disposable sockpuppets whose campaigns they bankroll and retirement gigs they provide, instead of giving the unwashed masses of deplorable proles any say
I know several companies that have a need for HDR capable KVMs. Imaging you're making an OS/Browser/Game that supports HDR. You want to run continuous integration / testing machines that test that your HDR actually works and makes it to the screen (not just what your read-back tells you).

Anyone know of any?
We seem to be in a bear market rally. Remember, 2000 took 2 years to go from peak to trough. 2008 took 18 months. Lots of people wanted to call the correction over with last week, but history suggests we will see many rips upward during an overall downward trend. Lots of retail investors seem to be getting suckered in as usual.

This is completely appropriate. Twitter is a corporation, not a government, and it's allowed to use its property as it sees fit. Glorifying violence is generally a bad thing for society. That strikes me as a compelling argument to hide a Trump tweet.

Of course, as head-of-state, Trump had an ethical obligation to not glorify violence, or to "sic" any violent people on his enemies. This is a pretty basic part of leadership in a democracy.

EDIT: I see the "free speach" people are out downvoting (censoring) anything they don't like. Cancel culture run amok, I tell you!
And introducing a blockchain to the equation changes nothing about that! It doesn't magically make applications interoperate with each other, or make them consume each other's data, or force them to maintain API compatibility. At most, it provides a shared, public location for them to store data -- and even that has some very awkward limitations associated with it.

A lot of the blockchain boosterism I see online comes from a place of assuming that the blockchain represents a solution to a problem, and trying to work backwards from there. Avoid that.
It’s less about not having the time and being constructive.

Happy to use a better term than andragogy - I’m happy to learn what it is.

Any ideas or suggestions?
Lol, no. This leads to dystopia.
Haven't used mine for a while, then dusted it off and now use it to switch virtual desktops (Win10). Works really nice for the job.
Rumour has it they want to replace the phone.
Me thinks you're overstating it because you don't understand how VC's function. Venture Capitalists borrow money from Investment Bankers based on percentages. The market has lost all of its gains during the pandemic, that trend is still bearish. The risk percentages were adjusted, and now there's less money to go around. It's seriously basic math.
