Excel probably hits the sweet spot for no-code vs low-code vs actual code. The transiion between the levels is completely seamless. If you want to add a complex calculation you can. If you really want to go crazy, you can too. Sure, it's not maintainable, you can't google the formula syntax (because it's translated) etc.

An important aspect of "no code" and "low code" isn't that there is no code being typed, there is "no coding tools", "no code compilation", "no code maintenance".

A family office is simply a team of lawyers/financiers who manage an individual/family's money, rather than outside money.

There is no reason they are mutually exclusive. Additionally, Roth IRAs can be self-directed which means they can use whatever exotic investment they choose, including private equity.

Could you elaborate on personality?

In my opinion Switch has good balance of personality and usefulness. You can play it at home, you can play it handheld, you can share a joycon with a friend, it got games like ARMS and LABO kits, all that seems like a lot of character to me.

A comparison of Safedean Ammous to Deepak Chopra isn't useful IMO. Chopra does likely have views on economics but it's not the focus of his work. Ammous' work is about economics.

Thus it appears you're merely trying to discredit one person by comparing them to another person whose views (on a totally different topic) are ridiculed/controversial (for potentially legitimate reasons).

As to Lee Smolin .. he appears rather off-topic to me in this discussion. I like his view on "There is only one universe." though [1]. Makes him stand out from the many many people who handle the meaning of words with insufficient rigor and then come up with useless conclusions.

> People’s appearance on Lex Fridman shouldn’t be used as an indicator of anything.

I was just linking to this interview because it's reasonably well done and Ammous' views come over, not because it was done by Fridman.

> But he isn’t very selective about guests.

Which is IMO a good thing.

Right. What propagandists often use is the logical fallacy called "Whataboutism". Russia invaded Ukraine but what about US invading Iraq, doesn't that show that Russia is no worse than US?

The fallacy in that argument is that Russia is doing its war-crimes right now at this moment. What US did in Iraq was far less bad, and most importantly whatever US did in Iraq they stopped doing. But Russia has not stopped bombing Ukraine. Therefore, at the current moment, we must condemn Russia for what it is doing now, not US for what it did long ago and stopped doing.

And even if it was true that US was and still is as bad as Russia then so what? That doesn't give Russia the license to do war-crimes. Two bads don't make it right. Hey, I may be bad, but what about Al Capone? He was much worse than I!

Personally I’d much rather work with Flutter than RN. The tooling and general developer experience I find to be far superior.

But of course the primary advantage of RN is the ecosystem of developers and libraries it comes with, so if those are important to you I don’t believe Flutter will catch up any time soon. Personally I think those are a bit overrated. Any competent JS developer could pick up Dart very quickly, and all the various bits of browser knowledge a front end developer would have that are more valuable wouldn’t be applicable here, so to me “used before” only offers rather modest gains, and over the long run isn’t much to base a decision on.
Personal blogs were invented for exactly this purpose.
The issue here is the lack of opportunities. You have a finite number of bins to place your money in. If you find a "winner," there is no necessarily refresh to get new winners.

After some amount invested that likely most people will never see one has a hard time finding suitable places to reinvest -- that is experienced by eg the renessaince fund, Warren buffet etc. Or of course you can inflate the public or private market
Dude, it's a real world example - a personal experience - of how this problem can we well solved, and of how crypto is not the solution. That's what it is. Sorry you don't like it, but that's not relevant. What you might do is try to bring those systems to where you are.

> "equivalent" is the wrong phrasing

A 15-year period is 3 times longer than a 5-year period.

5x3 = 15

Compounding the 3x return, for 3 times:

3^3 = 27

They are exactly, mathematically equivalent.

But of course there's no way to predict that the growth rate will stay the same. Logistic functions look like exponentials, until they suddenly don't (market saturation).
> The marginal cost of rooftop solar is zero. Nothing is wasted. Really!

No, it isn't. There's literally materials consumed to build the solar panels, and a 0.4-0.8 deaths per TWh generated. To your own point a 1-2 year recovery period on panels that last 20 is 5-10% loss in energy off the mark. We don't really have a recycling plan, but we better get one, because solar generates a ton of waste materials. To power the entire United States, we'd need 20,000 square miles of solar panel - the entire landmass of West Virginia. Replaced every 20 years, we'd need almost 100,000 square miles of solar panel in my lifetime. That's the entire surface area of Colorado.

But that's ok because I'm not arguing against rooftop solar lol. I never was. That doesn't change the fact they're not particularly efficient, and there's a lot of room to improve. I was arguing in favor of nuclear, which, with seawater extraction, can be completely renewable.
Google has problem with generated "marketing" sites whose content gets filled by bots. They also use the latest SEO tricks to get ahead. This is something any small private internet presence will never have while click-farms will.

Additionally we hide information behind proprietary platforms like Discord that cannot be crawled.

Ironically Googles research of text AI undermines their search algorithm because now spammers use said AIs to get good page ratings. A lot of sites have ever the same content with a few different words here and there. Especially new media content get immediately swamped with such sites since there are no established sites under certain key words. A domain filter sadly won't work as well since there a so many scamming sites.

> Imagine a world where only mechanics could drive cars

A closer metaphor is: imagine a world where everybody builds their own car. That would be a bit of a mess.
Ugh, this again.

For no code to work one needs to be sure the framework can handle the requirements well, so customizations and workarounds wont be needed. To know the requirements sufficiently well one usually needs something in production, and years of experience with it. Why bother with no/low code then? If a more modern reimplementation is needed, it can be elegantly implemented in one of the bazzilion software stacks out there.

Another big disadvantage is lack of developers that like those kind of things and know them well. Those who do know those frameworks usually cost a lot more. Lots of those relatively niche things, such as mulesoft, are really just means to strengten the vendor lock in, and are sold to management, not engineering leads, on the premise of lessening the reliance on actual engineering. Which of course is a lie.

Yes exactly, that's the idea with that tool, this would make the process compatible with most services (I'd hope, that all services that require this level of attention also offer TOTP).

I believe the sensible next step would then be to implement a mobile authenticator app for this protocol, that can scan QR codes, perform the initial "split", send out the shares, and then orchestrate the generation with other players.

The initial step is the weak link: the user could just store that TOTP secret and everything else becomes pointless. It'd be great to have the service itself (e.g. AWS) generate those shares on their end and send them out individually.
But then again, a malicious actor with that kind of access to begin with would have a thousand other ways to do some damage.

Please stop unreflectively parroting Kremlin’s propaganda. Putin's Russia started a war of aggression against a sovereign nation -- that would be an heinous act EVEN IF there'd have been "Western passive aggression" prior to that. And for the record, there wasn't. Putin's speeches to justify Russia's war of aggression paint a clear picture: Putin is an old man who is dreaming of times that came and went, hoping to turn back the clock -- by any means necessary. NATO is a defensive alliance and Russia has no say in an independent nation's decision to join. Putin says that said defensive alliance threatened Russia but if you look how Russia's armed forces are concentrated in and around Ukraine while thereby leaving ~95% of Russia's territory exposed to possible attacks, you can easily tell that he does not expect NATO to attack -- he almost certainly never has.

Indeed, taken to the extreme a Pyodide-based jupyter is available[1] which uses the same underpinnings as pyscript. It might not be perfectly efficient but it's totally usable, especially considering it moves the compute from a server to the client.

At this point the main issue I've seen is the slow load time (not a problem for jupyterlite but is for pyscript). Hopefully this can improve with time and regardless I think there are a lot of cases for pyscript to remove the need for server-side code and the associated maintaince.

> What else are you looking for?

Imagine I have few kilograms of resistors, capacitors, transistors etc and I want to make an amplifier of sound frequencies. How to see on GitHub all 1-channel amps of class A, having 5-15W of output power, using no more items than I have or can buy in my town, and no SMD, and having a PCB layout for saving my time, and not having a power supply on that layout?

This is an example of my typical real goal and I can achieve this kind of goals in old fashioned way: using paper journals like "Radio" (a famous Soviet journal on electronics) or websites like vrtp.ru radiokot.ru (not an advertisement, those are real sources of schematics which I use in my hobby electronics projects) but this approach has a serious problem - these designs has been curated by "benevolent dictators", and I can not edit those for public even if I am sure there is some better ways to achieve same results. Also those resources might have minor problems like missing images from other websites which may be crucial for building this or that schematics.

Also your question has a second answer - I am not that big fun of electronics and those resources more than fullfill my beginner asks of making electronic devices but I have a hobby research project on VCS for general purposes so I am interested to see more of different approaches.
Show HN: I developed a fast general purpose sorting algorithm
ChenSort is an improved bucket sort, which is a general-purpose sorting algorithm.

The time complexity is O(n) at best and O(nlogn) at worst, the space complexity is O(n), and it is stable.

Randomly generate [1000,10000000] random numbers in the range [-2^63,2^63-1], average speed is 3 times faster than Quicksort, fastest is 20 times. Traditional counting sorts and bucket sorts cannot handle such a large range of values because the performance is worse than Quicksort.

Oils go rancid by premature oxidation of the fat. Saturated fat is least susceptible to this, polyunsaturated oil the most. Rancid fat is quite toxic and will suppress the immune system, slow metabolism and cause other issues.

Butter and coconut oil are nearly 100% saturated fats, with 2-3% PUFA. Olive oil is a bit higher in PUFA, 8-11%, so it decomposes more easily when heated up.

Consider that olive oil is one of the most counterfeited products in the world. It is very common for producers (Greece, Italy, Macedonia etc) to add low-quality seed oils, and this is hard to detect. Research the price of olives, the amount of olives needed for one liter of olive oil, and the price olive oil sells for in supermarkets - it doesn't add up.
In attempt to disabuse this notion that "nobody uses linux"...

Spoken like someone who only eats from fast food restaurants.

Fast food, for the most part, is horrid, disgusting, greasy, bad for your general health. Sometimes, I'm out and about, and I eat from a fast food website.

I also cook. Lest you think I'm in some minority, the cooking business is a billion dollar industry, with multiple "trendy" startups (hellofresh, blue apron, etc.) selling pricey services. I've even used some of them.

Yes, some people only eat fast food. Some people know no better. Yes, eating non-fast food can be incovenient, but its incredibly good for you... and just because we do good things doesn't mean we are all starving artists or paupers.

But no, we are probably not sitting 400lbs overweight surrounded by burger king wrappers filled with xenophobia at anything that's not "like us".

They truly did. I was a lifelong Nintendo enthusiast until the stuff with the 3DS started.

They kept getting more and more user hostile, and sometimes quite literally!

Suing and sending 'investigators' after enulation developers.

Stealing fan-patches and translations and selling them on their store.

Reselling games some of us have purchased numerous times, only to find the 'remakes' are just shitty emulated ports. And again they would download fan-fixed roms and use those.

After D2 I am done. They didn't bother to give any way to use M/KB, the multiplayer is virtually non-existent, as is chat (typed, voice is non-existent). No mouse or use of stick-controled aiming such as in twin stick shooters breaks sorceress teleport, Enigma teleport, etc.

I paid $60, which was bad enough for a shitty re-skin of a decades old game that could run on a graphing calculator, but I chose the wrong system to purchase it on.

Nintendo is the definition of user hostile now, to the point of losing lifelong customers.

They and Disney are in the same boat. They had the balls to think their shitty entertainment businesses had been around so long they were too big to fail and didn't need their customers.

Well, maybe they don't need us, but they sure as shit need our money.
