Every time some politician gets on a high horse about "we're gonna make errybody who's doing X also do Y" that's a cost.

A bike rack out front. A change in the ratio of hand washing stations per employee. It's all "cheap", and most of it's good stuff that's easy to justify. But it adds up in a big way. And you let this stuff run for awhile and this is how that "authentic" taco stand or used book store you loved gets pushed out of business.
Agreed. I meant the role of tanks cannot be fulfilled by drones, and therefore they cannot be a replacement. The tech is irrelevant, the role is relevant.

Even an evolution of the tank's role, because all roles change, will not be fulfilled by drones.
This really depends on where you live. Consider yourself lucky if it is the same.
After my grandfather got Parkinson’s disease circa 2005, I developed hand tremor cancelling software for the mouse [1].

It has gone through a lot of development since then; it is my best work as a developer.

It suffers from the common flaw us engineers have of hyperfocus on the product while not caring about marketing enough. It makes enough.

I have a hard time talking about it in everyday life for some reason. It feels like a conversation that is hard for others to participate in.

Do other founders feel this way? I wish I understood it better.

Spanner can delete >100k rows if partitioned DML is used. TiDB is already what Vitess is trying to be. I think you would be surprised the number of companies who touted Vitess publicly that either went to TiDB or back to vanilla MySQL.
It amazes me that literal generations can pass and people assume the tone and nature of a company won't change. Honestly, at this time Microsoft is doing some pretty great stuff with embarrassing the open source community and free solutions. That could change but right now I like it.

There is a sort of state by state summary at the end, about all the forms they had to fill in. Boston's is on 98. They're not counted specifically, but general steps.

It seems counter intutive but adding another agency (the "start a business" agency) might help. That group will get fed up with the process and since they're doing it repeatably they can see the issuses and perhaps force a fix. Most people go through this process once and there is little incentive to fix.

For sure.

Generally, the electron app would pull face value prices and availability from [baseballteam].com, current resale prices from hubstub.com (<- changing name) and stick them into a mini database (object store). From there, I could use these snapshots to track sales across the resale site, determine a fair value for my tickets, and estimate the probability of it selling (by comparing ticket availability between days on the resale site).

Next, I had collected a list of email addresses from friends and a few posts on Facebook and Craigslist. The app had a button create/update a Google sheet with games/prices, pull in the emails, and batch email people (in groups of <50) the information along with the games. The manual part was marking the games as sold in the sheet, tracking etransfers and sending tickets, but it was little work.
Very nice. :) Every language deserves its own ray tracer!
Crypto mining with fpga was in the weeds down this path, or 100 Gbps signal processing. Two examples where low level stuff is still relevant, just not commodity and widely available like the 8 bit micros were.
So I looked at https://nextfield.vercel.app/exhibitions to understand how Nest.js's static page rendering works alongside React.

The HTML it returns is really big! 374kb before compression. I turned off Javascript to see how the page loaded without it, and it still downloaded the whole 374kb HTML (I guess that's to be expected).

I dug into the HTML and realised that the reason for the size is that Next.js includes a <script id="__NEXT_DATA__"> element that contains the entire data of the page's components as JSON for React to hydrate. This JSON takes up 60% of the whole HTML file! I suppose it's prioritising smooth rendering over reducing data use, but it doesn't seem very optimal, tbh. And it's really inefficient for browsers operating without JS, since every navigation click requires downloading a bloated HTML file.

I found Github issues, SO questions, and blogposts about this drawback, and it seems like this is a common practice for even the largest websites. This massive duplication seems to be a problem that newer frameworks are trying to solve. I wonder if non-dynamic sites like this aren't better off just being static HTML served from CDNs, since they aren't interactive.

Also, the main stylesheet is 1.12mb uncompressed! Bootstrap is part of it, but it seems like there's a lot of other CSS?

(Now I understand more about why my web browsing on mobile consumes so much data even on low-media sites, ouch.)
lousy timing
One aspect that I see recurring in successful side-project stories is that someone pairs their development skills with some domain-specific knowledge. So you could do an inventory of what domain-specific knowledge you do have, and think about projects that would leverage that.

>I think Linux is suffering from the Lisp curse. Because they never choosed a DE, there is endless splintering and re-invention of the wheel.

But who is "they", Linux the OS doesn't exist as Linux is just a kernel. There are countless distributions that assemble operating systems from parts, throwing GNU userland on top of Linux kernel and other bits of software on top of the GNU userland and the kernel.

FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD are operating systems, the developers do both the kernel and the userland.

In the early days of PC BSD I've tried to kickstart a new DE, just for PC BSD to break free from the rest of open source operating systems, and to have an UI that only work on PC BSD, is consistent - the same way Windows and macOS have their UI layers. And I failed at it, because I am human and I need to earn a living.

Gobekli Tepe has shown this to in fact be the case

The greatest evidence I've seen for this is the water erosion on the Sphinx. One of the main arguments against the Sphinx water erosion theory put forth by archaelogists was:

"there is no evidence whatsoever for a culture capable of building the Great Sphinx much before the traditionally accepted date (2500 bce)"

Ask HN: Will the US Fed rate hike affect the tech industry
I hear a lot of doom and gloom. Talks about incoming layoffs and stifling of growth and innovation in the tech industry . Now that the Fed has announced a 0.75% hike to tackle inflation. . How is this going to affect the tech industry worldwide?
That's just not true and it's plain to see if you stretch out the timeline. Is the Hudson Bay Company basically the same at it was in 17th century?
As an American, I would remark that in most of the US you won't have to adapt too much to the culture. I think that much of the northern Midwest is congenial, and mostly not too expensive.
There are some things that just cannot be addressed via free markets. There are some pre-conditions for markets that just cannot be met: Either because the demand for something is inelastic OR there's no way for the consumer to have the information they need to act in a rational fashion (in the economic sense of the word).

I'm not anti-market; the closest thing to my economic position is market socialism, but treating housing and water the same way as video games is moronic.

Are you sure about that? LLDB is primarily a native code debugger. For .NET you want to debug "managed" stack frames and variables.
I don't think there's a misalignment at all, the complexities come when the governments try to build water tight systems.

For example, let's say that to do some specific work the law says a degree is required. Normally, a degree is something that a university gives to its successful students so it shouldn't be that big of a bureaucracy to hire someone for that job, right?

firts, they start by simply taking the xerox copy of the diploma. Then someone starts hiring people without a diploma and forges a fake xerox copy and gets caught? To solve this, bureaucrats introduce a requirement for diploma registrations so they can check against fakes.

Congratulation, now you have an office visit step where you go show your original diploma.

Unfortunately, some people start showing fake diplomas. Once the bureaucrats catch on, they introduce a protocol with the universities to start checking the diplomas. Unfortunately, some universities say they can't accommodate that, others say they can do it moving forward but can't to for those who graduated more than 5 years ago. Also, some people studied abroad, others have their institutions merged or seized to exits.

Congratulation, now you have multiple ways to accomplish the same thing. You will need to fill the correct form.
its all good for the environment
My assessment is based on the very scattered attention in evidence.

A new language is a full-time project, if you are at all serious. A new kernel is another full-time project, if you are at all serious. A new kernel coded in an absolutely immature language starts it out at a major handicap, even if you were serious.

Nobody is obliged to be serious, of course, on a hobby project, but there is no hiding the fact. Wishing doesn't make up the difference. Taking the question at face value, it deserved an honest answer, even at risk of resentment in, well, the peanut gallery -- which delivered.
NIMBYism drives things like this. Sure, we abstractly want fewer regulations for the restaurant 12 blocks away. As long as you can keep strict regulations on the empty retail space below your apartment, the tight parking situation on your block, or the crime rate in your neighborhood.
Your very first sentence is why CLAP is going to succeed in the long term. It is why CLAP was developed. It it an open standard that gives developers what they need in a way that LV2 never will. For many devs, it will be their primary CI/CD target of choice. It is not unlikely that the plugin devs with huge legacy code bases, such as NI, will begin to realize that CLAP provides a path forward to VST3/4/? support that will insulate them from Steinberg and Apple's decisions in the long term and save the a lot of money, and keep their legacy code bases profitable.

Avid is already evaluating CLAP support. So is Presonus. Reaper is nearly there. So in my opinion it's only a matter of time before Pro Tools, the industry mastering standard, supports CLAP. Other DAWs will follow.

I think you are underestimating just how much of a problem that Steinberg has created for the industry as a whole with their draconian limitations on the VST development. Pulling VST2 out from under everyone has created huge issues for plugin developers (like u-he) who rely on VST2 as their primary development target. Developers hate VST3, and nobody trusts Steinberg. Nor should they. VST3 is a dumpster fire that people target only because they have no choice.

CLAP may or may not succeed as a plugin format that users will use. But its greatest chance of success will be as the primary development target for developers, with all other formats wrapped around CLAP. It's a dream to develop on with its simple ABI, and a dream to wrap to other formats. This means that, over time, a large number of developers will produce CLAP plugins just to end the nightmare of maintaining VST2/3/AU/AAX versions that are feature complete.

With Avid, Bitwig, and Presonus already on board, and Reaper soon to follow, and with developers like Fabfilter and Xfer announcing interest, I think you vastly underestimate its chance of long term success.

This is even before considering what CLAP gives you. MIDI 2.0 is coming. Rich per-note expression is presently poorly supported in all DAWs except for Bitwig, (but until now, only on its internal instruments). CLAP has it, out the door, and Bitwig now supports it with its per-note modulation system. Other DAWs want this feature, but don't want to roll their own version of it. But the entire equation changes when you have major plugin developers already supporting it via CLAP.

My gentleman's bet is that CLAP will gain momentum, and the rest of the DAW world, save for Apple and Steinberg, will support it.

It is either nuclear or hydroelectric power. The only two near-zero-carbon options.
The author identified the cause of the integration-to-zero behavior - they've set the DC (0Hz) component to 0, so the signal must sum to 0.

Any length-N signal can be thought of as one period of an N-periodic signal, so the FFT will be exact. It's not the first and last samples that need to be identical, it's the 1st sample needs to match the (N+1)th sample (1-indexed), which comes right after the last sample of the original finite signal.

For example if you have the length-8 signal 12345678, the FFT is valid - you can think of it as a slice of the signal ...123456781234567812345678...

Page 19 shows that nuclear power is less competitive than coal or gas (and vastly less competitive than large wind and solar- before taking in consideration the cost associate with intermittence)

The book you mention talk about nuclear weapons

New nuclear technologies will probably reduce the delay and decrease the cost. But 1) design are not ready and tested yet 2) there is a huge uncertainty about how much it will cut time and price.

This happen while 1) we have proven cheap and working renewable energies, and proven storage technologies (electrical, and thermal) with fast decreasing cost 2) We are sure that wind, solar and storage will see their cost continue decreasing
Discovering that there is nothing the be discovered is a discovery.
Sure but when it's loaded how much memory does it use?
For more 16-bit 65816 context -- other than for space-savings, these instructions are never used when performance is needed due to the low effective throughput of 7 cycles per byte. A basic unrolled loop using 16-bit instructions is 20 - 30% faster and specialized graphics routines that are able to use the stack can approach 3 cycles per byte using the PEA and PEI instructions.
I have already spent over 3 years on Hare and it has nearly 50 people working on it. It is also much simpler in design and smaller in scope than other new languages. Furthermore, building a kernel with it helps to validate the language design, so working on one improves the other.

I think small businesses owners often treat their workers badly and are overall a reactionary force in American politics.

But sympathy makes a bit of sense when you think about it economically. The businesses that do make it in have more market share and are selected to be those that are politically connected. The regulations serve to keep other businesses out, and we should try to help people that aren't as connected start businesses as well.

This begs the question: has there ever been "real" journalism?

Electronic publication opened the door for easy money in the form of ad revenue for very little effort and risk (compared to print media of old).

Just looking at the categories listed under "space" provides some inside into the quality and expected depth of the site: "Aliens", "Elon Musk", "NASA", "SpaceX", "Astronaut"(sic!), "Mars", and "Planets".

If these are the browsable "categories" under "Space/Physics" of a publication calling itself "LiveScience", you know you're in for a treat.

Outlets like this existed back in the print media days as well and are not reflective of journalism as whole. It's basically the pop-sci version of the yellow press.
People can do harmful actions unknowingly. There's not much use labeling any inproper action as "asshole." Most of the time people are just making honest mistakes where they didn't adequately consider all the outcomes.

I’ve put together lists of ideas before, here’s a few ways I’ve done it:

1. Any idea that comes in your head, jot down in a card or list. This is just to get in the habit.

You may sometimes write a full page about the idea, sometimes it’s a sentence.

2. Quick triage, is this for “fame” (it’s just a small, time bound, scoped, fun project with no explicit objective or plan to earn money), or “fortune” (you’d only want it to be a business, prepared for months and years of work), both are fine

3. For “fame” tasks, pick ones that scratch an itch where you want to learn something or solve a problem (simple website, VS Code plug-in, OSS repo on GitHub, a tool/script you wrote and use locally you want to offer to others as a website, etc) something that’s time bound and has a very simple and complete scope.

4. For “fortune” tasks, decide which ones you feel are interesting, you have knowledge about the problem personally, you see revenue generation possibility, you can do it on your own or with minimal resources to start, you know it’s going to take years, but you’ve got something encouraging/progress to show yourself within 1-2 months

That’s how I think about ideas lately.
