What you probably like most are the "Radial Menus". Which are a damn good GUI paradigm.

That nobody uses outside of games.

And Fusion 360 basically had to write their own entire GUI engine to do all the stuff they wanted.

Infuriatingly, Fusion 360 doesn't provide a Linux version which should be stupidly easy to do since they wrote their own GUI.
Dan (mush's author) went on to start Z-Mail, a commercial GUI mail client, using mush as its basis, which likely explains the restrictive license. SGI eventually bundled Z-Mail with IRIX, which is why I scored an Indigo workstation when Dan hired me away from SCO in the early 1990s to help support it.

I'm not sure when Z-Mail Lite, the TUI version, was introduced, but I eventually made it my speciality because I fell in love with its speed. To this day, I detest web-based email clients; at a later gig, Windows ports of Pine, Vim and par, an awesome paragraph formatter, made life with Windows bearable.

Dan eventually sold out to Judy Estrin at NCD, maker of X terminals and, later, X servers for Windows. Then NCD sold out to NetManage, then I left and eventually made my way to Netscape (post-IPO, sadly) to support their email server product.
People said the same about mobile gaming and look where we are.

PC Gaming is a big initial investment for some people so making it more accesible will maybe also attract some of the mobile market who want to play AAA titles but dont want a console or a PC.

That being said I dont think we'll be saying goodbye to the desktop gaming PC anytime soon.

The trust calculus is different though. You still need to trust the legal framework in your jurisdiction honours the blockchain's authority over ownership.

But you can at least not need to trust the registry's "database" of who owns what.
May I ask if the startup succeeded and why do you regret?

If the startup failed, why do you care how much you owned? 100% of 0 is 0.If the startup succeed, you probably made very good money regardless.

Second question:
I started with looking at stuff similar to how you see it. Then I talked to someone who tried to found a startup and wasted 18 months without getting investment or real revenue. He's point is that we only see in the media the people who succeeded, but there are many people who fail even before doing anything.

The arrangement I have with them is giving me a true shot at my dream. Fair or not, I'm going to learn a lot, get the money and support I need to try to build my vision and if successful make a lot of money (probably >$10M even if exit is modest).

So, his suggestion was, go for it.

Depends on the school, for sure. My CS education included a course on Computer Architecture, for which the final project was to implement your unique architecture on an FPGA and demonstrate it running a (simple) algorithm. I liked that course so much, I went back for Computer Architecture II and learned about pipelining, hazards, etc.

A comment made by a carpenter friend of mine some 20+ years ago still sticks with me.

"The only difference between me and the guy who goes to Home Depot and does it himself is that I get it right the first time. This isn't rocket science."

His entire value proposition is that he can do something at high quality and get it done quickly. Yours is that you can do something high quality because we assume that you can take multiple attempts until you get it right.

Ask HN: People using Sublime Text instead of VSCode, why?
I found Sublime Text 4 surprisingly pleasant to use. A friend of mine recommended me the editor, which I used up until VSCode came out. I switched back and found it somehow... snappier. I wonder if there are more "old timers" who are using Sublime Text and their own reason to still use this editor over others?

The first video card with a programmable pixel shader was the Nvidia GeForce 3 (NV20)

---

These early efforts to use GPUs as general-purpose processors required reformulating computational problems in terms of graphics primitives, as supported by the two major APIs for graphics processors, OpenGL and DirectX. This cumbersome translation was obviated by the advent of general-purpose programming languages and APIs such as Sh/RapidMind, Brook and Accelerator.[8][9]

These were followed by Nvidia's CUDA, which allowed programmers to ignore the underlying graphical concepts in favor of more common high-performance computing concepts.[
I didn't even realize Arduino was a VC venture.

For some reason I was under the impression they were a non-profit or some corporate supported education related thing.

Outside of selling a few boards that can be hard to get a hold of how do they make all this money back? Just about as soon as I started playing with one Arduino I found other third party hardware better suited my needs. I don't really see any reason to use Arduino's hardware over anyone else's compatible hardware ....
I'd prefer to avoid even downloading apps if they ask for permissions that aren't necessary. To hide that just makes me never want to use the play story anymore.
The NSA is holding a portfolio of undiscovered vulnerabilities, whether they've been planted by its operatives or discovered by its researchers. Old ones get discovered independently and patched, new ones get created, all the time.

Sending men in black or a top secret letter to a company and demanding a back door has to be the clumsiest possible way to go about introducing a vulnerability. It creates way too many people in the know, anyone could disclose it to researchers like OP who could then claim to have found it independently.

It's way more effective to have moles on your payroll.
The UX design concept for that is probably "progressive disclosure":

https://www.nngroup.com/articles/progressive-disclosure/

> Progressive disclosure defers advanced or rarely used features to a secondary screen, making applications easier to learn and less error-prone.

"Encrypt File" would be a big button on the first screen, which would lead to the most common secure ways to encrypt a file that version of the software knows about, with less-common but still secure methods gated behind an "Advanced" button, and known-insecure methods gated behind a "Danger" button after that, which shows them on a screen which explains that they're known to be insecure and are not recommended for use.

It's well-known that people, in general, refuse to read what's on their screens, so the warnings won't do a single bit of good if someone has the patience to click through all the way to the insecure algorithms. Since most people don't have that kind of patience, it evens out in the end.
I guess I should have specified that I was being a bit tongue in cheek.

I do believe Write-Once was actually a thing with the banking mainframe I was acquainted with in my youth. It wasn't a CD-R thing, it was just an IBM thing which enforced write-only at the BIOS/Hardware level. Honestly, I'm not sure, I was young and impressionable :D. IOW, I might have been misled.

Anyway... All you need is logically write-once with proper signing, audits, etc. and you'll be just as close to unforgeable, etc. etc. as reality demands.

Heck, even journald on Linux provides unforgeable log entries. It is vulnerable to a destruction attack, so whatevs. Everything is. Even a blockchain -- witness the rugpulls.

> by which point you've reinvented most of what constitutes a blockchain anyway.

I love that.

Anyway, I'm here to dissuade you. Do whatever you want. Just be aware of the potential consequences.

> If you don't eat [bagels] within the hour they're not good anymore

This is a very New York/New Jersey perspective. And I respect that your palette is too refined to ever accept a non-fresh bagel.

But there are people who live outside of NY/NJ, who don't have a bagel shop down the street. And you may be surprised to learn that some of us love bagels, and will even eat a toasted bagel. I understand this is an abomination no New Yorker or New Jerseyan would ever touch. But I can assure you many of us with lower standards get quite a bit of joy out of a good re-toasted bagel. If a bagel is sliced and frozen shortly after baking it actually keeps fairly well.

Again, I can't recommend you ever try a toasted bagel yourself. You would certainly be disgusted by it, as any respectable New Yorker would be. But for the rest of us they can be quite enjoyable.

I don't have the training data so I can't say for sure, but I'm assuming here that the training data is a lot of "valid question" => "valid answer", without many examples of "nonsense question" => "i don't understand"/"that's nonsense"

Edit: I want to add that expressing confidence is not the same as answering the prompt. If I ask somebody "give me a drawing depicting Obama's son", and they said "Obama doesn't have a son", I explicitly asked for a drawing and they are giving a speech response. I believe this kind of indirect response has to be taught, and can't be expected to come out naturally from a model that has only been trained on giving out direct responses.

It's "Doesn't she look tired" but for the federal government as an entity. Much of the conservative side of the country still actively fights any expansion or increase to the federal government however nowadays it's more about greed and grift ex limiting regulations on businesses, expanding mining/drilling options vs EPA protections, or removing worker/voter rights.

The concept that government is there to help is taken like a conspiracy theory and slowly 'Starving the beast' provides ample opportunity for failure that only furthers anti-federalist mentality. Or as some should be saying as they campaign, "Government doesn't work, elect me and I'll prove it!"

i have been thinking about a portable mini-server without keyboard and screen, but i haven't found one that comes with a rechargeable battery instead of requiring external power at all times.

i have considered my active phone, but i don't trust that enough.

Do they have any other companies in their portfolio that they have already implemented this structure? Can you talk to the non-VC staff?

If you're not raising money, you're not doing the CEO job. My guess is they're willing to back you but see that you don't have the business experience to be CEO (and if you're the CEO, you're not going to be doing the engineering work you need to be doing to build the company). In this scenario is the single fund providing all of the $2.85MM? Is there a board? Who does the VC/CEO answer to? Do they see their role as interim (i.e. support you to a point where you could become CEO, or get the company going until it can bring in a salaried CEO)? Or permanent?

Do you want to be the CEO? or the CTO?

I'm not saying it's perfect, but a scenario where someone is bankrolling you and providing a CEO to handle the CEO b.s. while you build the company is also not that bad given the current funding environment. I'd look for some formal role definitions both on personnel as well as business (i.e. does the incubator provide basic business resources like HR assistance, payroll assistance, so that you're not burning precious seed $$ on that?).

Ask them to put in some protections for you in writing.

I mean, it sounds like they want to build the company around you and offload the crappy bureaucracy of running a company that you admittedly don't have experience with. Yes, they absolutely get a chunk of the upside out of it, but you get to focus on building the product. 10% equity seems low but they’re bringing the seed round in to fund the company and you’re getting a decent base salary. I'd ask for accelerated vesting and something to protect your equity from dilution through at least a Series A.

IIRC Fusion 360 has radial menus (https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-6514...), and I think it was a major part of Maya or another one of the older modellers. I was never a huge fan and the mouse model still trips me up (imho, mouse-button-1 drags should rotate, and shift/alt mouse-button-1 pan and zoom, respectively).

Also, everything in Fusion 360 could be done in Qt5 without a lot of work, it's just that getting all the hints and the second level details (like maintaing the selection when you switch tools) is a real bear.
They made a risk/benefit decision, that seems clear enough. I'm not arguing the sauna in Madrid needs to be closed. I'm arguing that a random person heading to Berlin, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tel Aviv, etc. for Pride should know how monkeypox is currently making its way around the world.

After that, it's their call — just like people do knowing that syphilis, HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other diseases are disproportionately represented in MSM. I'm not telling anyone what to do, just advocating that everyone get unfiltered information.
>Nintendo sent someone to jail for selling cheats for a single player game. To jail! (emphasized and repeated)

No, it's not splitting hairs. He was arrested. At least where I'm from, that basically means being escorted to a police station and questioned.

Perhaps you know some specifics about the Japanese legal system that I don't, and everyone over there that is arrested spends a week in jail waiting to be heard by a magistrate.

But as far as I can tell, there's nothing to even suggest that he was charged.
You're right, of course!
Because bribery has ensured that regulators and regulation got strangled in the US. This has been a multi-decade effort, eg Regan's “Most Terrifying Words – ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” propaganda meme etc. There is a reason that what is called blatant bribery pretty much anywhere else in the civilized world is called "free speech" and "lobbying" in the US, without any intended or perceived irony or sarcasm.

Absent regulation, rules are defined by those in power for their convenience rather than for the public's benefit.
Neither syphilis nor unsafe sex nor HIV are unique to gay men, nor is monkeypox. I think that is enough to genuinely disqualify it as a ‘gay disease’.
> good primer on modern software development and something like the Missing Semester

That's... what a boot camp is? It's been 5-6 years since I was involved with one and the marketing has always promised a lot more than anyone could deliver, but the best ones were always basically that.

2-3 months is enough time for a motivated person to get the basics of a framework, and enough of the abstract mechanics of modern web development that they can implement solutions that are adequately described to them.

Yes that's very "junior" and yes they will have huge gaps in their understanding of software "under the hood." But honestly a lot of modern web development benefits from but does not require that knowledge at the beginning. They will fill those in an astonishing amount over the first year working if supported properly.

I know that hurts to hear because we know our work is complex and difficult. But not all of it is, and it's not necessary that you master the hard parts before beginning the work at all. That practical insight is still valuable and one we should take to heart.

I always seek out code school grads when hiring because honestly they tend to be pretty interesting confident people who know how to take calculated risks and work as part of a team. They almost all had other careers first and bring surprising and valuable experiences and skills.

Hiring someone fresh out a code school is a responsibility for sure, they truly do need more and different kinds of support for their first six months or so. But one like 2+ years into their career? Not all great programmers are great developers you know? but code school grads tend to overperform their technical ability in my experience.
