Your advice is correct, but the reason is wrong. If you want to raise money, then inbound VC interest is a great source of leads (led to out series A, similar to sibling comments).

But VCs employ armies of people to trawl the internet for new companies, and as an early stage founder you are time poor. Tell them that you are focusing on building right now but would love to chat when the time is right, add them to a spreadsheet, and go back to work.

The time to start taking calls is when you are actually ready to raise a pre-seed/seed, or ~6-12 months out from your series A (by this point you should have a team who can keep building while you are networking).

Also as the author noticed, treat the VC calls like a phone screen, and ask questions to filter out bad matches. If they don’t lead rounds at your current stage, or don’t “get” your product or market, move on.
You are correct, the gpu needs to be passed through. However transcoding can generally be avoided if you pay attention to how you're getting your source material. Also if you aren't transcoding 4k, 1080 is almost trivial now.

For sure!

I also think there are systemic reasons to stop it. If you're running, say, a good streaming service, imagine a competitor coming along that makes a lot of use of dark patterns to get people to sign up and keep paying even though the value is much lower than your service. Now you have a choice: try to compete against a better-funded competitor or go for the same dirty money yourself?

As a society, we want companies to devote their capital and brainpower to making things better for customers that can freely choose the best products. And that's what most company founders want too, so that markets are competitive in fair ways and they can focus on the products that got them excited enough to start a company. So I think it's in the interests of everybody except the parasitically inclined to just rule out exploitative business models.
The whole Windows Subsystem for Linux saga is kind of interesting, and maybe illustrative. With the GUI interface (WSL2g) working, you can basically do Linux development pretty easily on a Windows machine, with some caveats (Linux network control commands didn't work, they seem to want you to use Powershell for that).

However, I think it was more out of necessity as most developers seem to view Linux as a far easier development environment relative to Windows or Mac. You did have to sign up for the Insider program (at least with Win10, not sure about 11) which meant a lot of telemetry and constant updates. They've also now released WSL2 for Windows Server:

https://www.theregister.com/2022/05/26/wsl2_windows_server_2...

To get the full use out of it, though, you probably need a Windows Pro license, which costs ~$100-$200 last I checked (lower if it comes bundled with the inital purchase of the computer). I eventually just wiped Windows entirely and installed Debian, because the telemetry and updates were getting to be too much... flashing the BIOS at the same time. There were a few challenges (getting the drivers for my laptop's touchpad to work definitely wasn't that easy, but eventually found instructions on the Debian forums).

Practically, Linux is just easier to understand, and that's where open source is better than proprietary. Regardless, and equally practically, knowing how to use a Windows or Apple system is still necessary if you want to make software that can be run on those systems, and of course Android/iOS. However, there's no reason not to make Linux (and RISCV) the primary standard in academic education, which is still where Apple and Microsoft (and ARM and Intel) market heavily.
I work for an IT consulting firm and manage a team consisting of system engineers, cloud architects and big data application developers. The team's mission is to operationalise new technologies for clients.

My responsibilities (apart from administrative tasks) are:

- coordinating effort estimates

- aligning team skills with the project pipeline

- evaluate tools, technologies and methodologies

- advising on SW/cloud architecture topics

- colab on PoCs

- smoothen load peaks with hands-on work (rarely)

- contribute to interdisciplinary workgroups
They did a blog post about insert perf using PostgreSQL 9.# and it was the use of their partition. The same year PostgreSQL 10 dropped which added partitioning support so they revisited it and still came out on top. But they have never revisited the insert perf in 11/12/13/14. And as far as I can tell they don’t support pg13 yet.

So im curious if PostgreSQL caught up or not, or if the results are even real.
Essentially impossible to do especially if you're researching things. However, a list that's helped for me re: basic browsing, and reducing the amount of politics to non-incendiary low amount levels:

- Delete accounts with twitter/tumblr/insta/social media. Twitter especially is a cesspool of people who want to be miserable and/or mad.

- Opt for hand-built sites, tightly curated RSS feeds from non-political blogs, or discord servers that have a strong resistance to those topics. It'll take some searching. I tend to keep my interests around pretty and/or sleazy art.

- Using HN as the "daily newspaper" - if there's no article in the top three slots that have to do with real world events, it's a slow news day and nothing big/bad happened.
You might have it backwards. Most people typically do untrusted actions inside the VM and keep their host “clean”. You’re correct though that VM escapes are pretty difficult, especially with modern, patched microcode processors.
It’s a decent start, but without testing, there’s no evidence that these icons are any better than the originals.

I’m not sure that they even meets the authors own objectives — there are more small details that are harder to resolve at small sizes and likely would be harder to print clearly. They also aren’t any more “googleable” than the originals.

Lastly, they also assume that users are familiar with front loading washing machines, which may not be common in some places. It could easily be interpreted as a tumble dryer.
Nothing changed about the Simpsons. That was my point. Nothing changed about human nature, either. What has changed is that the people who were offended now have a forum to air their grievance, and other people can agree with them who might never have considered the issue at all. You're still free to appreciate Apu, just as the makers of the series are free to change the show in any way they see fit, since they own the intellectual property.

If this were the case, I would expect many more successful companies to have discovered this secret competitive advantage. It's not like employee-owned or union businesses are new. They've been around forever at the timescale of the Internet, and it's not like they haven't tried investing. I used to work for one that tried to diversify into tech and I can tell you what I saw: during growth phases, union pay wasn't competitive enough to retain top talent (due to a more egalitarian pay structure than the industry), and pretty quickly the strategic long term prospects of the company became pretty bleak compared with where the industry was going. So everybody who stayed aboard the egalitarian pay ship basically sunk with the ship.

Again I agree exceptions exist, but if it was some magic secret sauce, it'd probably be obvious by now...

Looks like you're only focusing on technical skills in your recruiting process. New research (link below) shows "soft skills" such as values are more important, especially for senior positions. My company quantifies applicant values such as empathy, agility, & disruption and measures alignment with org culture. Reach out if you want more info.

Nice to see comparison done to the previous version of TimescaleDB rather than comparison to other vendors, which always tends to be questionable and biased
I reacted to this as well. I hope he/she gets real value for the work they put in. Having worked as a developer and consumer of open source work (for huge finance institutions), it pains me to see how devs pour their souls into open source projects, and consumers (our bosses) don’t even know or care who wrote the code everyone is using.
Nevertheless, using a banking app is very quick and convenient and is therefore used by many people.

It's used by most people because they've been taught to think "app".

Most people don't even know they have an alternative --- they don't know that they can easily make a link on their home screen to any web site that will look and function just like an app.

"Progressive web apps" even remove the browser interface so the casual user can't tell that they're not using an app. Chase; for example, has one.

It's also amazing how many developers don't know about PWAs and how they can be used to bypass the politics and extortion of app stores.

I used to think that most major cities were their own county, because I'm from Philadelphia and it is. This describes some other major cities, too: San Francisco, and to a first approximation Boston.

And in some states cities can cross county lines. (This is different than the NYC case because New York City consists of five entire counties.) List from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._municipalities_in.... Most cities in multiple counties are in two counties, but some are in more.

Some are large cities - from a quick scan through the list these include Atlanta, Columbus, Dallas, Houston, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City. But some are just cities that happened to be founded near a county line and expanded into adjacent counties. Braselton, Georgia has eleven thousand people and it's in four counties.
New robotics software framework beta-release
SQLite's virtual table API (https://www.sqlite.org/vtab.html) makes it possible to access other data structures through the query engine. You don't need to know much if anything about how the database engine executes queries, you only need to implement the callbacks it needs to do its job. A few years ago I wrote an extension to let me search through serialized Protobufs which were stored as blobs in a regular database.

I think this paragraph on the difficulty of building good independent indexes should not be overlooked. What's going on with Cloudfare?

> When talking to search engine founders, I found that the biggest obstacle to growing an index is getting blocked by sites. Cloudflare is one of the worst offenders. Too many sites block perfectly well-behaved crawlers, only allowing major players like Googlebot, BingBot, and TwitterBot; this cements the current duopoly over English search and is harmful to the health of the Web as a whole.
The Psycho-Geography of the Cretto Di Burri (2021)
You have events mixed up. People act in the way you object to because others have politicized their existence. Refusing to be quiet about who they are is a response to people trying to erase them, both culturally and violently. That's what Pride is about. The first one was a riot kicked off by cops invading a space that was exactly as quiet as you would have preferred.

It didn't work. The police came and attacked them anyway. Now we march and get in your face so you'll notice when someone tries to get rid of us.
It is strange to me how the author praises the aesthetics of the original designs and then goes on to produce such an ugly set of symbols
I had to do something very similar for analysing CVE information recently, but I don't remember having to use the :memory: option. I suspect it defaults to that if no .db file is specified.

Slightly tangentially, when doing aggregated queries, SQLite has a very useful group_concat(..., ',') function that will concatenate the expression in the first arg for each row in the group, separated by the separator in the 2nd arg.

In many situations SQLite is a suitable alternative to jq for simple tabular JSON.
This might be silly to mention, but wouldn’t a VPN suffice? Even a VPN set to “always on” in a VM? Another option would be to stand up a t2.micro on AWS and then dynamic port forward web traffic via “ssh -D 7777 $awshost” and use a browser proxy.
> whatever you do isn't going to beat Google at that - even Google hasn't been successful at it yet

Why not? This seems exactly like the sort of situation where an upstart could be very successful: an industry transitioning to a new approach.
Ideally, tuition should be provided by the government.

If not, then a subsidy that provides universities only charge 5% of income to $50k, 10% of annual net income per year if making up to $150k, then 20% of any net income exceeding $150k. Add a break to deduct from taxable income the tuition donated to a blind trust scholarship up to a certain amount. That scholarship is then used to offset high achievers for whom college tuition might still be a burden. That gives universities a fair share of money while still allowing everyone to go to college.

If it keeps going the way it's going, the only people who will be able to go to anything other than a community college are those whose parents are making in excess of $200k per year. Mind you community college is often a great education, but you don't get the extra opportunity benefits you would at a university: increased networking, professors who can demand a higher salary (come of these will work at community colleges because they want to), wider range of curriculum, more research opportunities, easier to get published.
Could you say a bit more about why you like it? I was thinking about getting back into touring and I just recently learned about them. Previously I was using a mirror that attached to my glasses, which seemed adequate. The radar seemed interesting, but I was concerned that it would more be in the "cute toy" category for me.
I run a Linux VM on my Windows work machine so that I can safely access my personal accounts on the web. I am allowed to access my personal email, bank accounts, etc on my work computer; but they have a web filtering agent installed with certs that MITM everything. In the VM I'm subject to a more restrictive filter, but without the certs or agent they can't MITM.
> This is endemic in American society now. Everywhere I lived in the suburbs/exurbs I'd describe the vast majority of my neighbors to act exactly like that. Utter sheer fear of things that simply don't exist. And they vote on those fears.

Did you poll them all?

> I don't think American society survives the suburbs, personally. The social fabric it ripped apart, and the "bubble" it put so many citizens in I believe is the most harmful thing to happen to the US at least in the modern era.

No. The suburbs are fine, it's social media that will get us. It greatly amplifies the the voices of people who use it compulsively, and those people are often unhinged and driven by unreasonable paranoia, fear, anger, etc.

You can do both, at least as a user. Take advantage of the positive resources (github, etc) while being aware of or even supporting alternatives as well (god help us if we ever lose GCC and CLang becomes a monopoly).

75.8% of Android Tinder app users are male and 24.2% are female. (Tankovska, 2021)
By 2023, the number of dating app users in the US is forecast to reach 25.7 million. (Tankovska, 2021; Kats, 2020)

I think they are a lot more intuitive than the old ones, but I'd need to look up some stuff. I don't know what's the difference between normal, perm press and delicate for example. Or why the 3 knobs on the washing machine should represent it

The flask for bleach, and the drying symbols are much clearer though.

The detail in some is a bit too high for some clothing tags, I'd agree on that.

That's fine, but it has an opportunity cost.

I came out of a dotnet post-secondary school but I'm now currently working on a React/Node/GraphQL team, I don't see it as a negative in the way you're portraying it here. I think C# is a great starting language both because of the great tool support and the sort of medium level of abstraction.
Every outage represents an opportunity to demonstrate resilience and ingenuity. Outages are guaranteed to happen. Might as well make the most of it to reveal something cool about their infrastructure.
Same. Those scenarios point to more of a "meaning of life" and "reason behind it all" types of scenarios, assuming that the message-deliverer is trustworthy/ accurate. Knowing such weighty matters might heavily shift the way you live, the choices you make, and the things you invest your energy and time into.
Unless you believe children shouldn't exist - almost no one is pro-abortion. So, that's not really an argument that anyone is making, is it?

In the same way people say pro-union - they mean "pro-choice" as in you should have the choice and freedom to form and be part of a union easily.
Same for us, we're hosting 3 events right now, neither seems to be working, nor can we log in to their website.

Just a heads up, a lot of endpoint detection and response runs at the kernel level and can view network traffic if you’re running in bridged mode.
Try something like Hired.com. It takes time and energy for people to seek out and apply to jobs. On Hired, people have a profile just seeing what’s out there, are open to interviews and will already have posted their salary and their interests. You apply to them instead of hoping they apply to you.

Yes. Real-time Kinematic Positioning (RTK)[0] is a differential GNSS technique of combining data from satellites and fixed ground stations. Since the location of fixed ground stations has been surveyed, and has a higher degree of accuracy, combining the data can provide a higher degree of accuracy to the downstream consumer of the data.

Some states in the US provide RTK data over the internet for free as a public service.

If your GPS supports RTK[1], and you have an internet connection, you can feed the publicly available RTK data into the GPS to get very accurate location data.

I've successfully integrated RTK and seen ~1cm accuracy. Our navigation device was not cheap, but I think the GNSS chipset in it was pretty common. To get really good GNSS accuracy you will need a clear view of the sky, as you'll need good satellite coverage in all directions to start with. You'll need an antenna mounted in such a way that it's not obstructed. Your antenna will need to be electrically grounded/isolated in such a way that noise is not introduced to the signal before it gets to the GNSS device. Etc.

The internet runs on BGP, I would think that most internet issues would be a result of BGP then.
I do wonder what would happen should happen if either of them left the company, I feel like there's a lot of trust on HN (and other places) that's heavily attached to them as individuals and their track record of good communication.
I've seen it used for way more than that. Their sales (and customer support) people will gladly tell you it can, or soon will, do everything you may want it to do.
Unfortunately, bad actors have made centralisation necessary for many sites to survive against even low-traffic attacks
It is kind of a big deal to discover just how much of the Internet and the WWW is now dependent on CloudFlare.

For their part, they handled this very well, and are to be commended (quick fix, quick explanation of failure).

But you also can't help but see that they have a dangerous amount of control over such important systems.
>Visually be annoyed.

The visual design of KDE was annoying and distracting to me, too. (Ditto the other non-GNOME DEs I tried.) If I had continued
to use it instead of abandoning it after 5
minutes, it would've become much less annoying, but some of the annoyance would've persisted indefinitely.

So I've been using GNOME for the last year and a half. In many ways it is worse than the GUI of MacOS or Windows, but it looks great.
Thanks, that's a good tip. I might try that.
Only in the sense that renting an apartment for a single year is technically cheaper than purchasing a permanent home.

It's actually insanely expensive because most of us are going to still going to buy a computer and that $30/month ($327/year with discount) would have much more value for maxing out an M1 laptop.
I talked to all 5 women in tech that started to study with me. 1 got her degree together with 20 men from over 120 students, the other all changed subjects after the first semesters. How can there be discrimination if there wasn't even a possibility for it? This was technical computer science that is even worse than general computer science in regards to gender ratio. It just makes no sense at all, it defies any logic to propose this can be discrimination. There might be some cases, but there needs to be an effect that is far more relevant. The numbers of people starting computer science is evidence you cannot just reject, you leave reality behind at that point.

I lived with women in a shared apartment who studied economics. They simply didn't like computer science.
