I don't think many people would have strong objections to increasing notice to 3 months or something. But actually 2 months has never been a huge issue when i've been renting, and the idea that renting out a property for a non infinite period of time should be impossible is ??? to me.

I think one should absolutely be able rent out a flat for a year whilst working abroad. Or to rent out a house whilst saving up to renovate and move in. The ultimate irony is ofc that you can always just airbnb the damned things instead and skip all that pesky restriction
I built LightTag and eventually
sold it. In my experience , at lower price points (<100 month) it’s a none issue. If you can build a self serve funnel, get people in it and convert them no one will care if your 1 person or 100.

Once you go up in price point it becomes a bigger issue, I had many deals die when they realized I was a 1 man show.

That shouldn’t stop you. If you close a 50k
recurring deal once a year, that still adds up to a great income.

> As a result, almost every office uses Excel.

I'll have to disagree with your conclusion.

Excel has been the de facto standard for spreadsheets for a couple of decades so its user base is not because of how the office suite is priced right now, but because it is "what everyone uses".

This effect is even so powerful that despite Apple's suite (whatever it is called this year) being free, and various free online offerings exist that are adequate for a large chunk of users, Microsoft can still price licenses relatively high.

I may be misunderstanding you, but I do want to reiterate: if it’s in localstorage, I will hijack user sessions on your pentest.

If there’s a use case to keep session tokens in localstorage, it’s insecure design that’s inherently vulnerable.
As things stand now, CHERI doesn't replace virtual memory. MMU is still there; CHERI is a layer placed on top (so it's CHERI capabilities -> linear local addresses -> hardware addresses). Which is why things generally work as usual, even though the entire FreeBSD userspace and (sometimes) the kernel are compiled as purecap binaries, using capabilities instead of pointers.

The fork(2) isn't a problem when running like this, but it does become a problem if you want to colocate processes in a single address space. It's not as much of a problem as I'd previously expect: there's vfork(2) and posix_spawn(2); fork is only a problem until subsequent execve(2); and also because many systems don't support fork(2) anyway, userspace had to adapt.

As for performance: there are some (somewhat old) numbers at https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/pdfs/201904..., measured on FPGA; benchmarks on real silicon are still pending.
This is an almost-true fallacy levied against all ostensibly benevolent corporate behavior, not just "woke"ness. The theory is that, since profit is supreme, they must engage in benevolence only when it directly or indirectly increases profits (usually via the long-term game of public image).

However, it's a fallacy because those making these decisions are not "corporations", but, in fact, humans, and many of them (optimistically, most of them) are not sociopathic monsters, and therefore like the idea of engaging in benevolence. (You can make an argument that all benevolence is merely atavistic tribe/family-protection behavior on a long enough timeline, and that's another topic, but it is a good analogy for the "true benevolence" vs "false benevolence" theory of corporate behavior). All desires inescapably inform decisions to some extent, no matter how shrewd a person is - therefore, genuine benevolence plays a part in corporate benevolence. It's unrealistically pessimistic to assume all corporate benevolence is purely false, and it seems like that accusation is frequently used to make shallow arguments about social politics.
Newly elected Colombian President on Bitcoin. “It removes power from the banks”
Can someone explain the logic behind this excerpt? I don't understand the connection between rising inflation and interest rates and online-only banks being outcompeted.

> "Rising inflation and interest rates this year have made it harder for online-only banks, called neobanks in Australia, to compete with established lenders, making fundraising much more difficult."

The first online-only bank in Norway was founded all the way back in 2000, and has overall been very successful. (Unfortunately, in my opinion, they were bought out by the largest local bank this year.) I understand how regulations and local habits/expectations can mean that an online-only back won't work in certain countries. For example, I can't imagine it'd work very well somewhere like Germany which is very conservative when it comes to tech in finance – cash and faxed contracts still being very much a thing and so on (correct me if I'm wrong, though). However, Australia doesn't strike me as being as conservative as Germany in this sense, so I'd be interested in hearing more about why online-only banking doesn't seem to be doing well there.
I've been wondering about exactly the same thing, but for a different reason: wouldn't it be great if I could summon Siri / Alexa by subvocalisation?

You aren't joking about them being unafraid of people. I was sitting out on my back deck one evening here in $RELATIVELY_BIG_CITY and had two adolescent racoons approach me and start engaging in playful behavior. One of them even ran up and snagged the slipper off my foot before I protested and it dropped it and ran away.

Seeing RAM as a collection of linear addresses on GPUs (especially as shared virtual memory, pinned memory, or other such GPU/CPU virtual memory sharing features) is a feature from 2010-era, be it from OpenCL, DirectCompute, or CUDA.

Linear.app is awesome. We switched from Jira and our team's participation on issues went through the roof. It's fast, clean, has keyboard shortcuts and replaces agile terminology with simpler, familiar paradigms. We activated Slack, Sentry and GitLab integrations too. It's a beautiful piece of software to use and part of the reason we chose it was to inspire ourselves to try build something of similar quality in our own domain. Seriously, it's that good.

I've also used Redmine a few years ago. It gets the job done but nowhere near as slick and fun to use.

I'm curious as to why the author even thought that a throat mic would have good audio quality. Throat mics are designed for loud, high intensity situations. For the use case of a throat mic, "good audio quality" means the receiver can actually understand what you're saying, something that is pretty easy to achieve in a home office environment.

And I'm sure that it's possible to make a throat mic that has great audio quality. But I think the overlap of "people who want throat mics" and "people who want good audio quality" consists solely of the author of this article.
A hammer really can drive it's own nails --- you just have to believe.

And if it can't --- well, it's all because not enough people believe.
You have it nailed: they offer low-churn products.

Atlassian is well-managed. Their revenue is fine. Their cash flow management is good. Their compensation plan is effective at retaining employees--the stock employees receive is likely to be more valuable at the end dof the vesting cycle than it is today.

Atlassian has got a collection of offerings that are industry standard. When used at large companies, they become quickly entrenched, with very low churn.

It is also a collection of offerings that is chosen by startups. Last quarter through a year from now, I expect that stream to be dry. But they are on 3-year contracts at an awful lot of got-my-Series A startups that will have to tighten their belts in other ways before trying to rotate off of Atlassian.
You are overlooking a very simple fact in your comment. Cerbos is open source and has an Apache2 license. Therefore most of your points are irrelevant:

* No one needs to pay
* No need for a company to be around for the next 100 years.
Just take a look at the portfolio of companies like Idera. That's their business model. Buy products "in the long tail" and squeeze them dry.

If you care about aesthetics and sound go with the gear that broadcast professionals use - a headset/earset. There are carotid models that work pretty well in noisy conditions, though they don't isolate as well as a dynamic handheld.

You can get ones with a shorter boom that match your skin tone, and those aren't that noticeable on camera. That's what they use in musicals and concerts and they certainly sound much better than a throat mike.

Lavs are also an option but they do pick up more background noise due to the fact that the mic is much farther from the mouth. For computer use you may need an external preamp as most soundcards I've seen do not have adequate clean gain to drive a lav to acceptable levels.

Depending on your situation a shotgun mic above the monitor or a gooseneck (podium) mic are options as well. The gooseneck is basically a ECM on a flexible boom, and is relatively unobstructive. Note that these are starting to go into the more pricey territory, and you will need a preamp to drive them.
I think the whole point of the article is that you don't need to do anything crazy to lose weight or be healthy, you really just have to eat healthier foods and move around more in general. A lot of people think a diet is this magical thing that makes it easy for you, but the truth is that it ultimately comes down to choosing foods that are good for you, rather than taking diet pills or doing some extreme diet like keto or carnivore. And that can be _hard_, because eating good food and being lazy are very easy to do and can be quite enjoyable.

I tend to agree with you in the main - I use MDR-7506's and a sE Dynacaster as my normal setup - but you absolutely can get comfortable IEMs. But they really aren't cheap. If I need to do something that looks "cans free" at my desk I keep a set of Shure SE215s, which aren't super comfortable but they're tolerable for an hour or two.

To me, reasonably affordable throat mics sound terrible, which is a big factor.
And then there is NIO quick battery swap tech. That could be another strategy other than just charging the battery. Offer many options.

Yes, but it depends on the software.

From a builder's POV, I also thought about this whenever I had ideas. Thoughts like - if I build this alone, will my customers be stuck or drastically affected if something happens to me? What will be the impact to my customers if I'm unreachable for a day or more (sick, traveling, etc).

For me, if it's a utility tool or software where my data is on my system, then I'm more likely going to be okay if it was built by a solo developer (this is how I green-lit my current project - https://nocommandline.com).

But if it's something where my data is on the cloud and/or the software is a key part of my workflow, then I would do some further analysis if I know it's a solo developer e.g. can I easily backup/extract my data, are there alternatives that I can easily move to, do I need to be able to reach support within a very short window (e.g. 6 hours). To be clear, this automatically doesn't mean I won't buy the software but the analysis will help me reach the decision.
I have previously launched an idea that fell into this category but I provided the ability for users to export their data in JSON format from day 1 and I knew there were alternatives that users could move to with very little down-time

You are comparing security in response to an issue about privacy. Facebook's security around data that they shouldn't have in the first place is irrelevant.

Additionally, even a contractor today still could not create feature parity with Facebook as they do not have the network effect of Facebook. That's assuming the company/contractor would even try to build all of it themselves.

> Feels like a misallocation of capital if I'm honest that will just create more unequal and unhealthy societies.

I think you have the causation backwards. Rising income/wealth inequality is what leads to capital chasing the lucrative top x%.

I would say automation and technology and their resulting economies of scale inevitably lead to income/wealth inequality, and wealth redistribution is a political problem with political solutions. There is nothing a VC fund is going to be able to do about it.

The sk-1 was my first "real" musical instrument, and what I remember the most is that I was thrilled at the sampler. I must have been 7 or 8 years old and it was amazing to be able to record any sound and then play music with it.

Shortly after giving this to me my parents sent me to a music teacher, a lovely old lady who had a house full of different instruments (a dream for any musically inclined kid, during breaks we all obviously wanted to exchange instruments for a bit), and one thing I remember is she kept telling me how this little thing had the best synthetic piano sound she had heard so far.

Thanks, this took me back in a good way!
>> Atlassian is probably a fair bit away from that.

How do you justify that?

One way Atlassian's market size gets limited is by being viewed as a competitor to Microsoft (or other large incumbent's) products. Some customers can choose both, but not everyone can. The feature and experience differences don't matter much to the buyers (procurement), so if something is cheaper elsewhere, then it's a harder sell. It also increases risk in a potential recession where Atlassian is viewed as a luxury option. I feel like JetBrains play a smarter game here.

It feels like folks have forgotten how bad a niche developer tools have been. Circumstances have meant that VCs have been throwing money at developer tools and developer experience has been in vogue. Things will probably be better in this wave than previous ones, but it's still much riskier than other markets. Developers may rule the world, but the software powering their day-to-day is very different between software companies and the majority building line-of-business software.

I'm sure there are improvements to be made but there are pretty fundamental physical reasons why reading a random piece of data from a large pool of memory is going to take longer than reading random piece of data from a small pool of memory. Hence, as memory pools have gotten bigger since the days of the R1000 we use caches both in memory itself and in address translation.

If it’s a one time sale then it doesn’t matter the size of the company selling. If it’s a SaaS but for a commodity service then it similarly doesn’t matter who is selling it, since there are other partners to work with if the one man shop goes out of business.

It’s only in the case of enterprise software or niche products that I wouldn’t trust a one man shop.

I guess that this is true for any advice. You find good ones, and you find others from not useful to harmful.

> Another big issue with what passes for modern-day wellness is that it creates the impression that everyone is happy all the time and that you should be, too.

I found to be there other way around, it could depend on country, thou. Well being is more acceptant that being sad is part of being human. And I found this acceptance not only from professionals but even from on line comics and memes.

> Better than a fit mindset is a development mindset, in which you understand that passion takes time to emerge, thus lowering the bar for further engagement in something from “this is perfect” to “this is interesting.

There has been a lot of people calling out the role of game-graders and auction-houses in artificially raising the prices of video-games.

For example this expose:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvLFEh7V18A

But I think it's fair to say that the people who are paying these prices are not interested in gaming per se, instead seeing their purchases as investments - after all the prices keep going up, and their grades are "the best". What could go wrong? (Ignoring the fact that millions of cartridges exist, of course.)

I too am disappointed by the lack of innovation around state management in applications. But I don't think this solves the problem.

A lot of developers think what we need is additional abstraction on top of the way data is stored and retrieved, to remove all the annoying CRUD boilerplate that goes into building an app. This seems to make sense because devs think in terms of simple examples like TODO lists.

But in a real production application with heavy scale, you need a lot of low-level control over precisely how state is managed. Tweaking a SQL query or table structure can be the difference between minutes of latency and milliseconds.

I'm not sure what the path forward is here, but I hope smart people keep thinking about it.
