> I’d make a good wager that “living their lives”, did not mean going to work. It’s going to the park or the “nice, bustling area” of town a.k.a. the walkable area like the farmers market.

Did you know that suburbs also have parks, shopping, etc. right?

> The density you want to live in doesn’t sound like it promotes social interactions,

FYI, "promoting social interactions" does not require density.

Honestly, it seems you have the strange idea that a particular kind of urban living (that you probably prefer or idealize) is the only kind of good living, and therefore feel the need to take a piss on every other type.
Anything you say can and will be used against you.

There never really was Miranda rights, just lots of fighting over technicality
And then when every time the user interacts with the system you would have to trash the GPU queue and recompute everything. If you could compute everything before hand, it would be far simpler just encode the entire scene as a video.

For example, consider a game server that must handle inputs from multiple clients. It can't just compute everything and queue it off to the network because a user input may change the entire game world. A "computation" loop provides a consistent model of which all the game interaction happens.
Of my 4 wisdom teeth, I got 2 removed for that reason. They got infected at least once per year un my twenties and it was really painful. Doctor never recommended to do it, but did tell me "if you feel like it's too annoying, we can remove them". I was the one asking after a holiday completely ruined (and no pharmacy available). So 2 it is.

Now, all good with the other 2,however the new dentist suggested removing them because those are a little bit extruded (they have been this way for a long time). Looks like I need a new dentist

This is going to be tough to hear, but I see a bunch of red flags if I’m taking the lens of investing in / joining your company.

First, it sounds like y’all are very slow at product iteration and customer feedback if you’ve been in business for 5 years and haven’t actually built a product.

Second, it sounds like the founders don’t really have a clear vision for the company with time running out.

Third, one of the founders is part time but is still getting the same deal as other founders? It’s essentially impossible to add significant value as a part time founder. He/she probably doesn’t believe in the company enough to commit full time.

Fourth, you should’ve raised long before now knowing your run rate isn’t going to be long. Also another red flag that y’all haven’t been default alive or raising money for the past 5 years.

If you want to keep going, cut your burn even if it means longer product launch timelines. The likelihood of acquisition and fundraising is pretty low.
The climate is completely fucked, no bones about it
This is a brilliant way of framing it; I couldn’t agree more.
Also react-dom.min is 15 times larger than solid/preact/lit-html/svelte, is on the bottom of every perf benchmark, and yet we pretend to have engineering mindshare. It feels like new coming kids would just skip engineering school/university just fine for working in this industry. Disappointed.
I took my kids there once during a visit to Berkeley about twenty-five years ago, and even then it seemed daring and against the grain. I don’t think that one visit was enough for my kids to see the attraction of the place, but I sure did. I would have loved to be able go there when I was a child.
The results in the paper are not statistically significant. It is measuring non stat sig tail events from the trial.

The only statistically significant result is the 95% efficacy of the vaccine.

This paper compares serious hospitalizations in the placebo group versus side effects in the treatment group, neither of which has stat sig data. In particular the number of covid19 infections/exposure in the 4 month period were small, a couple of hundred, whereas the vaccine exposure was 10K+.

The paper simply ignores basic normalization of the data for exposure.

You cannot spend your way into scaling an original content business. Period.

Every MBA wants to create predictable success with a recipe or a formula but it doesn't work that way. And if you do stumble into an an Ozark, it doesn't mean you can just create 100 Ozarks. Quibi tried to spend their way into original content. It failed spectacularly then.

Many shows were cut short. Without the direct feedback loop of ratings it can be extremely difficult to know what to renew and what not to renew. The wrong metrics can lead you astray. Some shows had too much money. Others not enough.

And the real big lesson in doing all this is that the economics of big budget movies completely fail without theatrical releases. You just cannot recoup production costs otherwise. There's a reason Top Gun: Maverick delayed release 2-3 years.

And if you overspend the only way to recover that is by raising prices. Do that too much and it becomes a vicious cycle just like cable TV of ever-increasing price hikes to balance out the inevitable subscriber losses.
I don’t think the word “common” should apply to one dude’s anecdote for one company.

It’s true that C++ is very large and everyone necessarily uses a dialect of it — their own unique dialect. But learning the STL, for example, would pay dividends in most C++ shops.

Outside of C++, this advice is pretty much completely inapplicable.
You didn't get the /s of the thread apparently. I'm French. The US gun politics are bonkers to me.

Seriously, what sane person would be worried that a lone terrorist would manage to bring a tank to a suburb and need a civilian Javelin to fight that ? If a tank is at your door, it's not terrorism, it's war.

The fact it seemed credible enough for you to answer seriously to it makes me think the USA situation is even worse than I thought.
The whole point of the story is how irrelevant the abrupt remark was in the broader context of the higher purpose they were both trying to achieve. Why did he react that way? Maybe he is a jerk. Maybe he had a bad day. Maybe he was frustrated because the paper was truly terrible.

We don't know, and it doesn't matter. What matters is the end product accomplished the higher goal that they both wanted.
Author here. HighwayHash is indeed reasonably fast for a PRF/MAC/fingerprint, but our security claims are not strong enough for it to serve as a cryptographic hash. No collision nor preimage attacks are known to us, but it would not be appropriate to use HighwayHash in this context.
Netflix has a passing resemblance to Yahoo.

At one point in time Yahoo could not decide whether it was a media company or a technology one.

Netflix for all intent and purpose is a tech company (they have engg' blog but no 'content' one), but is that the path to success?
I think during a discussion here on HN, somebody posted a link to a study (or guidelines?) about safe playgrounds (I don't recall from which country).

IIRC the gist of the article was that playgrounds should always include risk elements because otherwise the children will use the playground against its design to find those risks (e.g. climb up on top of a structure which was designed that you play inside of it). The crucial element though was that risks should be calculatable and there should not be surprising dangerous outcomes.

I have to say looking at the playgrounds available to my kids here in Sweden, I'm pretty jealous of them, we didn't have such cool playgrounds available to us (or they were very rare). It is sometimes terrifying to watch as a parent, but look like great fun.
here I thought maximum exploitation would be selling someones identity on the dark web but I come to find on HN that it's actually hashed analytics data D: !!!
The problem with all the modern graphics APIs isn't sleep()--the graphics card generally can be filled to 100%, and you kick off another render when the swapchain releases a frame.

The problem is knowing how long the actual render is going to take. Scenes can vary vastly in complexity and predicting how long they will take to render a priori is extremely difficult.
I haven't read much of the article, but they claim early on that they have no marketing spend. Do they say later in the article what their sales, saas, and server costs are like?
All of that is because of the cloud act, non american companies won't have as much issues. The obvious solution is to remove this spying law breaching EU laws and common sense.
Hard to tell without more financial information, but generally speaking, having only one customer despite it being very happy with your product, is way too much risk to tolerate over the long run.

This customer may be extending the startup's runway considerably, but assuming they leave or downgrade their spending with you, you'll be getting into trouble fast.

Have an honest conversation with the founders about these potential facts. You'll learn with their behavior and response if you should stay or leave.
We could even call it "arm club" in reference to fight club, to make it popular. And eventually give it a cute nick name ending with -y like arm cluby. Or army.
Go is a compiled language with comparable performance to Zig/Rust/C in a lot of use cases. It's heavily ergonomic for network/server side programming, it's safe, easy to use with a tiny footprint.

Rust is not only or even primarily used in embedded or driver programming. Indeed, I see more user space software built in rust than in embedded nowadays. As for Zig, it's so new and alpha that it didn't even find a niche yet. Rust also hasn't yet found a specific niche. It's all over the place in GUI, networking, embedded etc. which isn't a bad thing, to be clear.

It might be harder to do embedded in Go but that's not the point here, is it? It's about safety. Go has a special place in that it is compiled, easy to learn, quite performant for most tasks, and safe to boot.

> I can believe that abstractions prevent errors, but can't a language allow footguns but have syntax that makes them easy to detect?

What would be the point though? If a language can detect footguns, it's time to prevent them which is what Rust does, essentially. Footguns are rarely useful and there's always an alternative way. For these rare cases, Rust includes the unsafe escape hatch but then all bets are off. Don't expect the compiler to help you if you are intent on going down that road.
You're right. It was total garbage. Your post actually describes the situation much more concisely and effectively. It really reframes the parable described on a way that makes it accessible to every person, whether they consider themselves a leader or not. Thank you for your contribution to discourse on this forum.
Dangerous playgrounds are a fucking AWESOME idea, but they also would breed the NEGLIGENT PLAYGROUND.

I went to an elementary school in Wisconsin where they had a bunch of tires bolted to a huge wooden pole.

After a few years the metal bands and rusted webbing of the tires was sticking out of all the climbing elements. How about we just give all the kids TETANUS FOR FREE? It's on the house.

At the same school I was a big swing proponent - I would ride that goddamn swing every day, no matter how much rust it developed and ---- surprise, the chain rope broke and almost killed my ass.

Edit: My school did pay these glorious medical bills.
Shitty playgrounds are good until you almost die.

The situation in Lake Mead is horrific. I’ve been watching a YouTuber that has been filming various locations around the basin for the past couple months. It’s one thing to hear “the lake is doomed” and another to see it disappearing as the days go by:

I'm curious about your journey. In another thread you mentioned to me that you're currently debating leaving a faculty position for industry research. To go back and forth twice seems really unusual and I'm curious to hear more.
I've seen data scientists who take the "no assignments" idea as an excuse to focus on "interesting" vs "practical" data problems (and IME, like yours, the "no assignments" mindset arises mainly in academia, not industry - I never even finished a MS, but even there saw far fewer academic 'assignments' than industry ones).

And if that project is high-budget or has ample data, the stakes get a lot higher. I've seen teams lose their projects and leaders lose their position because the results weren't there. It doesn't matter if they did the math right or wrong, if the results weren't there due to randomness or outside of their control, etc.... lots of people don't want to spend hundreds of thousands to millions a year on a team that hasn't produced working products.

The worst were cases where the project had an impact, but a negative one (because of an over-focus on specific areas, say, without getting sufficient full-business context). And often these were cases which some more requirements gathering up front could've avoided, but "you can do all the science and math right and still fail and lose your job" is a particular pitfall that I don't think most academic transfers really appreciate at first.
Agreed it's much better service, I've been really enjoying it.

What's wild to me is that apparently there's only one place on this continent that grows lettuce. It seems like a bit of an all-your-eggs-in-one-basket thing to have one valley in QLD(I think) that does lettuce for the nation, and they have some bad weather and suddenly we're all sans-lettuce.

Readable code is important? Then keep in mind the context: low-level programming and writing Safe Rust or writing in some not-quite-memory-safe language because one would rather be bitten by undefined behavior now and again rather than have to learn the borrow checker.

Knowing for sure that the code you write is at least memory safe is a certain kind of readability win and I don’t see how anyone can claim that it’s not.

I'm a parent. Yeah, Taco Bell isn't "ideal". But hey, is my kid happy? Are they keeping their life together? Are they staying out of trouble? Are their bills paid?

If the answer to all of those questions - especially the first - is yes, then I am happy. Of course I will push them to strive for more than that, but what they do with their lives when they leave the house is up to them, and at a bare minimum, I just want them to be happy with whatever they choose.
Yeah, that sounds reasonable. I feel like the article makes some good points with terrible illustrations. I mean, on the playgrounds I was around, the swings had metal frames, solid bars rather than chains and the fence was within jumping/falling distance. These are all things that are improved these days without changing anything about the size of the swing itself. We don't have to show the playground as a dangerous gauntlet that it was decades ago as an good alternative to the oversimplified things we see today.

Netflix is now a feature compared with the likes of Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ etc and now you can see them struggling as their stock has crashed, increased prices, cancelled shows and films and are doing more layoffs.

Not only they are losing subscribers and money, their competitors are still gaining users and can afford to lose them; Netflix cannot.

At this point Netflix is a feature just like Dropbox, Box, DocuSign etc and cannot afford to lose a significant amount of customers for their services. It is a different story for Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+.

He didn't say "a natural environment." He said a "more natural environment," which I hazard to guess means stuff like more grass and trees and less concrete outside the window.

When I grew up, there was an old steam locomotive as the centerpiece for a park for kids. We were always climbing around on it. There wasn't anything safe about it, everything was made of iron and stuck out at all angles.

The locomotive is still there, but there's a fence around it now.

Things appear to be different in the UK. I went to a new playground (new as in weeks old) the other day.

I think the biggest benefit of SSR is you get the first page fully rendered out (good for SEO), and beyond that page the react SPA takes over by doing all the cool client side stuff like routing and what-not.

The biggest benefit for SSR in my opinion is SEO + first load is fast because its already generated. After that though, its just the plain old SPA experience.
It must be said, however, that the general tolerance for child injuries was much higher. I grew up in the 1970s and a child breaking a limb was mostly expected (on the playground, skiing, sport activities). Anecdotally, I got away pretty well with just an ankle splintered by a playground see-saw, while most peers suffered a broken limb at least once. And this, while playgrounds already started to become "boring" – nothing compared to what could be still found in some places. (Personally, I was not allowed to use these.)

The EU hasn’t shaken off their roots in monarchy. Using the power of the state to go after a single private entity since they have a blood feud with said entity and are now finding all sorts of excuses to hit them economically.

I’ve been following the cases with regard to privacy in the EU and it’s a complete joke. You have all these onerous rules against any web technology making it near impossible for startups to function without an army of lawyers. Think I’m exaggerating? Look up the provisions under GDPR for any business, big or small, to set up a website and then process a single user request for their data even without sign in.

The UK is sick and tired of this and has recently begun moving to ignore these onerous rules. All power to them.
