> the development model is not the one we've come to be comfortable with

Says who? There are many free software projects, with public source code and free licenses, that are not developed openly. For example, lua itself (on which neovim is based). The lua team are adamant on not accepting external patches. And that is perfectly alright, and not contradictory with neither the letter nor the spirit of free software.

Fair warning, setting up and managing a DSLAM is an undertaking, and additionally everyone that wanted to use it would need a compatible modem as well.

Source: I've setup and managed two such environments back in the day at an ISP, and also a couple of older VDSL setups in apartment blocks. It's a good way of getting some extra mileage out of old wiring but its expensive, creates another SPOF, and requires at least some knowledge. It can also be a giant PITA to troubleshoot, and all your wiring becomes far more precious when it comes to water/damp and interference.
Performance Summary Cycle. From experience, the psc culture within fb/meta is intense, internally competitive (even within teams) and heavily focuses on quantifiable gains (e.g. often tech-debt or ethical-minded features are forgone for engagement metric increases ... via any means). It's not nice unless you're a very specific type of person.

Ask HN: I interviewed 30 solo dev founders. AMA
Hi HN

I just recently interviewed 30 founders who are collectively making $1.2M+ per month building their startups as solo developers. Also, I've been watching the solo-startup-scene closely for 3+ years now.

If you're planning to start your own "microstartup" as a solo dev and you have any questions, I'm happy to answer with my perspective!

PS. I also run a site around this topic called https://microfounder.com
Sounds like you're describing ActivityPub
I remember it as “Bless My Dear Aunt Sally”.
I have been diving reasonably deep into the Tool For Thought category over the last two years, but have yet to see notegarden in this space. I concur with the spend your effort on marketing not development.
Look into tools that both do the same and more:
- Obsidian.md
- RoamResearch.com
- Notion.so
- Remnote
- Readwise.io
- Anki

I am sure there are others.
You mention remnote specifically, how do your tool compare, when is it the best, when should I go with some other tool?
See for instance https://medium.com/geekculture/roam-research-vs-notion-3064a...

Also the copy overall could take some overhauling, there are some errors and stuff that takes you a bit out - perhaps hire someone on upwork to check that up.

With regards to team, maybe figure out what your cutoff point is for calling it quits. If you have been working on this for 3-4 years, without many users, three persons, what are the signals that you are working in the right direction? Figure that out, commit to some numbers and dates, and strategize based on those numbers.

Good luck.

On the other hand, there is Mongolia:

> But a closer look at cultural practices around the world has challenged that picture. In modern Mongolia, for example, traditional herders get more than a third of their calories from dairy products. They milk seven kinds of mammals, yielding diverse cheeses, yogurts, and other fermented milk products, including alcohol made from mare's milk. “If you can milk it, they do in Mongolia,” Warinner says. And yet 95% of those people are lactose intolerant.

Even though most products are fermented for shelf life, unfermented milk is widely consumed by Mongolians to this day.

Yes, and the wording implies that as they mature they would be merged into the SDK. Yet 18 months after release there was nothing done save for some minor janitorial fixes. Not to mention the lack of any sort of documentation.

Nobody ever wants to do that but you make it sound like you'll be homeless and starving soon so I'm suggesting you evaluate priorities and cash flow should be #1. You could also pick up some contract work but, if you hadn't already thought of that, I think that would take you longer to line up and generate some cash from. There's no magic solution that HN can give you that will make your product start ringing in sales/users. But if this is some roundabout way of getting product feedback... It just looks like a Notion clone to me, the website is very disjointed and confusing, the copy has a lot of room for improvement (please have a native English speaker proofread or just hire a copywriter), a short explainer video might help as I think this could benefit from seeing in action, pricing>0?

A lot of this article sounds less about selling, and more about selling out. It doesn't teach you how to sell an existing idea/product that you already have, it tells you to "abandon the hope of finding the next billion dollar idea inside your head, and instead look for it out there, in the heads of other people".

I don't want to scour the markets trying to find an opening, and then put in years of effort only to realize that I don't care about any of it. I'd rather build a product that I care about from the beginning.

> Searching "lego stop motion" I get a non-checkmark channel in the 4th result: https://i.imgur.com/Dvds7ib.png

I believe he was referring to politics-linked searched on YouTube.

> Are you talking about all videos, or just controversy-adjacent videos? I know I've seen people online complaining in the past that YouTube sometimes leads to people going down a rabbit hole of crazy videos with the recommendations. If you're just referring to controversial videos, what you say sounds like YouTube fixed the rabbit hole problem. If you're referring to all videos, I haven't experienced that. I get mostly good recommendations.

YouTube's solution consists of two things: upranking an entire class of videos/channels (mainstream media channels) and additionally deranking other channels/videos (I've had the experience of looking up a politician by full name and never finding his high-views Youtube channel unless I click Filters -> Channel). All of that, with zero transparency (giving us the lists of all artificially-reranked channels, and the new rank weights) nor government or at least independent oversight. At Google's scale, when they promote certain views over others, that poses problems of interference with elections and with the public mind (see Manufacturing Consent). The political-interference problem existed before (when the rabbit-hole effect ended up promoting Stefan Molyneux), but has simply been inverted in the other direction, basically promoting US ideological interests.

What YouTube is doing violates Popper's 'open society' principles.
No offence but these types of comments are starting to look like AI generated
What I never get about these sorts of sports controversies, is whenever they play the replay on ESPN its as clear as day to the commentators and every single viewer what is happening. You don't need a robot. You need to let refs sit in a booth with access to the broadcast feeds.
The SIWE movement probably will win out, imo. Brave already supports it natively, and services like ENS are growing in popularity and use cases. And MetaMask itself is already at 50 million installs. Most other smart contract blockchains are Ethereum compatible, so you can use the same account (via MetaMask or wallet of your choice) across blockchains pretty easily. It's also dead simple to implement as a web developer, and it's a pleasure to use as a user.

MIT lost its ability to attract talent about two decades ago. Talent wants to work their. The endowment is obscene, and they won't lose their ability to afford talent.

What they cant do is screen talent.

For faculty positions, the competition is extreme; around 1000:1. That lends itself to people who cheat the system. In this case, it means, at the very least, overselling results, baking data, and giving TED-style talks. In many cases, it results in much worse.

The extreme competition also drives off many people who just want to nerd.

MIT isn't going away anytime soon, but that's why I think the problems may be hard to fix. The culture is broken.

Being able to steelman someone else's argument without adopting their presuppositions, while understanding and possible experiencing the emotional/intuitive phenomena that got them to embrace them is a true test of your faith in your own worldview. If you "fail" that test, you will be absorbed into the outgroup and lose sight of your old emotional/intuitive presuppositions and worldview. You will lose a lot of friends and sunk costs, and be subjected to new rules. The risk is to literally lose your old self. That's horrifying, that idea can feel something like being abducted by the borg from star trek and converted into one of them.
There is no transparency here. The court elevated the extremely vague made up "major-questions doctrine" which essentially says that the court gets to decide if a regulatory agency's actions are "major" enough that congress has to act. It's the opposite of clarity. There's no principle besides whether the right-wing judge thinks something is major or not.
No, Bitcoin is rarely ever used except by geeks. Metamask however (a wallet for EVM chains like Ethereum) has 30 million monthly active users.
This list sucks.

It's basically a complaint that X11 software doesn't work on Wayland while conveniently ignoring patches or alternatives to that same software.

This is akin to saying "32 bit x86 is not a 1:1 compatible ARM64 replacement" or "English is not a 1:1 compatible Japanese replacement" or "Writing with your left hand is not a 1:1 compatible right hand replacement". They are different things. Why should they be? Who said they should be? Where was it agreed it should be? I don't see anyone in the Wayland community who actually does work (e.g. maintaining the protocol spec or large projects) saying it should be.

Also, there are either maintained forks for these (e.g. redshift-wayland for redshift) or straight up Wayland alternatives (e.g. wlsunset instead of redshift). The author even links to the Arch Linux wiki page for Redshift which at the top in a purple banner says "Note: Redshift does not support Wayland [1]. See Backlight#Wayland for alternatives." so that's some nice cherry picking to say the least.

So while the claim "Wayland breaks Redshift" is _technically_ true (even though there's a patch) it is heavy implied, I feel, that there is no alternative which is objectively false and misleading.

It's FOSS, go contribute if you are this upset; it's not like you do not have access to the entire protocol specification for Wayland, and the source code for each and every single item listed. This kind of complaint would make sense if it was closed source software where you cannot make changes without extreme effort in reverse engineering and potential legal problems with redistributing those patches. Not the case here.
There are some chip factories with old node sizes. I think they're used for military or something like this. There are plans to build more modern chip factories, but I doubt that they'll materialize.

Russia has good experience in designing CPUs, but they relied on Taiwan to produce those.

Probably the most likely scenario for future is that they'll continue designing CPUs and will print them on Chinese fabs. China has huge investments.
This is speculation but his symptoms and age appear consistent with metastatic osteosarcoma (bone cancer that has spread, typically to the lungs). Osteosarcoma treatment has not had a breakthrough in decades, so it's a very bad cancer to get. Surgical techniques have gotten more effective at preserving limb function, and there are more tools to ameliorate symptoms from aggressive chemotherapy, but the fundamentals haven't changed since the late 1970s. It's also very sad because this often chemoresistant cancer primarily affects adolescents in their growth spurt years around age 15.

I hope that a more effective treatment can be found soon for this cancer too. It's upsetting that so much progress has been made on so many varieties of cancer, but there are still some varieties that are a big question mark.

Yeah. Just tax you and give them the money.
In the same way dropping foreign aid on a country to ‘solve’ hunger can make the problem worse, EA money could distort market forces if it became big enough. I suspect it’s very difficult to find investments that return more net good than standard businesses.
Congress did vote for EPA to have this power. The Supreme Court decided that they didn't like where that power led, and is now restricting the types of laws that Congress can make.
> I'm not a libertarian exactly, but it always boggles my mind how the philosophy that at least tries to remain consistent with the ideal of not aggressing on the life, liberty, or property of others receives some of the most derisive comments.

Because every time you need to apply such a reductive philosophy to reality, it falls apart. This would be fine if they adopted it as a purely personal lifestyle but they try to push it as a feasible form of government.

They do this by mostly ignoring the real world complexity and real historical issues when aspects of their philosophy were actually applied.

Examples? I’ve seen arguments police should be entirely privately funded, insider trading should be legal.
For those thinking it's all about money and interest rates, it's not. The problem is energy supply, which is becoming the limiting factor to economic growth. This is what, in my analysis, the Ukraine war is about.
That's great advice. When I started selling an Outlook add-in a couple decades ago some of the best traction I got was from a website dedicated to providing technical advice to Exchange admins. Go to where users who'd find your product useful congregate.
If you like Townes Van Zandt you might like Jimmie Dale Gilmore as well. You may find the first songs by Gilmore too polished if you like the realism of Van Zandt's live recordings, as I think I probably would if I had discovered Gilmore later, but listen to "Dallas" or "Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown" to get a sense of his good lyrics in my opinion. Happy to see someone else like Townes Van Zandt!
It is intrinsically better though. Wired sound infinitely nicer sounding, and with much lower latency. Will we ever have a day when wireless will be sufficiently low latency?
Why are you asking for advice and then rejecting the answer? It sounds like you know what you want to do: work on your side project until you're poor or bankrupt.

If you don't want to be poor or bankrupt, you need to get a job.

Notes apps are extremely common and almost impossible to monetize. You could do everything "right" and still fail to profit from this.

If you have cash, you can invest in marketing, but customer acquisition costs for B2C notes apps are extremely high.

If you don't have cash and can't find investors, the company is dead. It happens even to brilliant people -- there's no shame in failure.

There is pain, though. You will feel sad, frustrated, and maybe regretful for a while, but it will pass. Don't make the pain worse by risking more on this.

I think tab and table come from the same root. Tab stops existed on typewriters prior to tab keys on terminal keyboards, and I presume it was a shortening of tabulation stop, i.e. a way to more easily input data in a tabular form or a table. So I always internally read fstab as "file system table" and crontab as "chronology table", or something similar.
How significant is it as a source of commercial fertilizer? A rounding error, from what I can tell. An article on the situation in Germany gives it the potential to replace 5% of phosphate, if all of the bonemeal was used, and currently, barely any of it is used that way.

Something I don't understand about this interpretation: the decision concerns an interpretation of the Clean Air Act, a law passed by Congress. It's a 60 year old act, sure, but it's an act nonetheless (and one that empowers these kinds of statutory interpretations by the executive branch).

Where is the buck being passed, precisely? To me this reads more as a cynical prediction by SCOTUS (that Congress will continue to deadlock, effectively granting victory-by-default to conservative causes). And they probably won't be wrong in that prediction, if the last decade serves as evidence.

This decision simply told the EPA that it needs specific authorization to engage in a sweeping restructuring of the country’s power generation mix to address climate change, and can’t rely on its existing authority to tell coal plants to install particulate scrubbers.

This is a huge problem warranting an apoplectic reaction because everyone knows Congress won’t do that. In fact, voters are about to hand Congress back over to the GOP because they’re mad about paying $5/gallon for gas. The vast majority of Americans want to address climate change, but won’t pay even $10/month extra on their electric bill to do so: https://www.cato.org/blog/68-americans-wouldnt-pay-10-month-.... Having Congress vote to raise everyone’s energy costs is a total non-starter.

The unstated subtext to all this is that, to address climate change, we need to bypass democracy and impose sweeping changes through unelected bureaucrats and boring administrative proceedings nobody pays attention to. And it’s quite revealing who thinks that’s a good idea and who thinks it’s a bad idea.

A lot of people find the Barkley Marathons through the documentaries. If you find stuff like this compelling, I'd recommend Nikki Kimball's Finding Traction or some of the shorter stuff at Aravaipa Running's YouTube channel[0].

Similarly, Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) is next month and will have a much more professional livestream.

It's hitting me harder than I'd have expected, I think it's partly due to how much fun his videos always are and how positive he always seems to be. Even going back and rewatching his earlier videos of his cancer updates, he still has me laughing (and now, crying too) at his self-directed morbid jokes. The Great Potato War is on my top ten of all time (if not top five) youtube videos list: he's hilarious, the optimization is insane, it's such a trivial thing it seems it could only be done for the love of the game, and it also reminds me of what it's like when I'm optimizing a piece of code. Just hunting for the smallest advantage in the most obscure places. It's just sad to see someone who's brought so much joy to so many people go through that.

Usual caveat that I don't know him as a person, only what he shows through his videos, but even the fact that he worked to keep his identity unknown draws me in more: he wasn't in it for the money or fame, he was just a guy who loved the game and loved sharing it with others.

How do you know what Congress was thinking? You can't read the mind of Congress.

Also, the Supreme Court has always restricted the types of laws that Congress can pass, based on what the Constitution says. However this doesn't involve Constitutionality. Congress can absolutely pass a law giving this exact power to the EPA and the Supreme Court couldn't touch it.

It might have something to do with all the cryptobro’s pushing get-rich-quick-schemes. Crypto-enthusiasts ignore how regulations existed for good reasons before regulatory capture made a mess of things. Not everyone likes the idea of an anarchocapitalist future.

And I’m not even talking about the outright scamming and the fact that most crypto’s primary use case is criminal. Or the environmental issues of spending energy we can’t spare on something we could solve so many other ways.

Swift on iOS still has support for C/C++ interop via bridging headers. I imagine that would be preserved even if Obj-C was deprecated as a broader iOS runtime. Eliminating C/C++ in one fell swoop would be disastrous.
