They're 100% explained by that, not just partially. At all of the top-rated restaurants in every city I've cooked in, all the chefs are buddies. It's very common for there to be a tacit agreement to just not pay more than $X, that way they can all keep labor costs down.
Wow - that is some very high quality information about bootstrapping. And I co-founded a profitable SaaS!

Caveat: when someone talented explains things, there is a lot of “it’s obvious” (to them) and they can easily explain why it is obvious, and it all sounds convincingly obvious (successful founders often are very convincing - correlation). However the details of how he learnt his opinions and the details really really are not obvious unless you have the right talents, or perhaps if you can develop the right skills (where it is only rarely obvious how to learn them well).

Aside: I loath the term micro-SaaS - especially when applied to a business with “$1,000,000 ARR” - but even the spelling is crappy. What does micro imply? Jason mentions at the start he prefers the word “self-funded” which I really like (presumably the title of the video uses “bootstrapped” because that’s more common?).
Years of poor education and dark money being invested in the system. People like Peter Thiel who love America already have their plans to escape to New Zealand. We are one of the only developed countries where we still argue about teaching evolution AND biblical myths like Afghanistan. We could have been one of the best countries in the world. If we had stayed honest and hardworking.

DI payments are tax free if you pay the premiums out of pocket. If the employer pays your premium through a group policy, the payments are taxable.

Your comment about fuel is definitely valid. However, what is so special about COVID as it currently stands now in 2022? There is zero hope of containing it, as it has become endemic so lockdowns are pointless. There are several vaccines and effective treatments available. It is not significantly more deadly than several other common ailments like typical influenza variants. I understand why we all did what we did in 2019-2020, perhaps even early 2021, but why are we still treating COVID like it’s a special case?
The 'unsafe feeling' you have is a function of bigotry and misinformation.

Small town America is very safe.

If you take away the 50 most violent 'urban hot zones' in the US, national crime rates actually start to look like something a bit more normal.

Suburbs, exurbs, small towns and rural areas are about the same level of gun violence, which is less than urban areas, that said, the more 'remote' people are, the more likely they are to use guns to commit suicide.

Hard question to answer without specifying topics. The usual way is to find an introductory textbook on the subject, find the papers and authors referenced for results and theorems and work forward through the literature. This will give you both historical perspective and develop your knowledge at a gradual pace.

Meeting many talented, creative and hard working people in my life had

waste. To see people who could change the world and solve real

something of a hypocrite/imposter because the one thing I cannot teach

I wonder if anybody has any good book / article references on alternatives to what Jack Welch did with GE. For years what he did was touted as genius and efficient etc. But it seems that these strategies all sort of make sense if your goal is to maximize executive pay, dividends, and share price, while cutting jobs, R&D spending (to a certain extent outside of known profit centers like plastic manufacturing in the case of GE), and in general optimizing for financial engineering rather than hard engineering improvements. Basically I think plenty of people would say that he promoted a bunch of ideas that were successful for a while but now that we have some hindsight I wonder what would be some good alternative ideas to modernize GE in a better way.
I wonder, without a functioning democracy, what kind of mandate they think they would have to assert authority over others. What would then stop the rest of the population from considering them tyrants and either ignoring their laws or overthrowing them by force? Americans living in states heavily-gerrymandered via REDMAP would seem to have a duty to openly reject any laws passed by such legislatures.
I don't think they've dropped them, you can still find them under the Gaming tab.

Makes me think about those wise statements Elon Musk shared in the video of him at the Twitter All Hands zoom meeting. It was there that he contemplated the value of side stepping news outlets and avoiding their negative filters. He also questioned the reach of the negative social impact that receiving such negative news has on our wider society and the costs these news outlets place on us with their distorted focus.
> So it's just generating a markdown document from my Word document and dynamically renders that to HTML.

Ages ago (probably more than 15 years or so) I generated HTML, even multi-page web sites from within Word itself, using VBA. It required some proficiency in VBA but Word already had a structure that you could translate with different classes of headings, font modifications, etc. - so it wasn't exactly "rocket science" either. I did the same in Excel, but here more focused on autogenerating pseudo "db-driven" sites than on prose.

Typically these would be "intranet" apps, but I believe some may have been exposed to the www. Being static sites, security was like any other pure HTML site.

> I still don't see who would use this for their site.

My customers were in marketing. They already used these Office tools and they found it a real advantage that they could just continue to use these tools.

This was before WP got to the dominant position (and level of user-friendlyness) it has today. It's still possible though.
I just think the money is a weird metric. If a guy is 5'6", he could either remain a chubby dork and try to earn $270k, or he could work out and have some kind of leadership role in his community to get a better quality woman. Sounds like working out and being more assertive is a lot easier than making 3x the national income for most people. Also, if you do remain a dork and use money, your wife will still feel like she sold her soul and sex life for money. Why not just become desirable instead and then also make as much money as you want?

Gmail on iOS certainly will try to notify you for “important” messages. If anything, I think the failure of email in combatting spam is the only thing saving us from the notification-heavy defaults you mentioned.

Not that different from setting a reminder to send the text yourself…and you’d presumably pick a scheduled send time when you’re also available to reply. But I do agree, it’s marginally more impersonal.
Understood. The expectations of your job/team (emergencies etc) are probably just different from what I'm used to. Seems like a good system for your team so I'm glad it works for you.
I think C is a trap, honestly. I have used the PRUs before and wrote my code in C. 99% of the time, I was just reading the assembly outputs trying to figure out how many instructions some C statement actually compiles to. Should have just written raw assembly for the timing-sensitive parts.
http://cfsselfhelp.org

My doctor (Lucinda Bateman, a CFS research coordinator kind of person and founder of a center, BHC aka https://batemanhornecenter.org which has other materials including a CFS self-care brochure kind of thing, and ed. materials for doctors--they provide education that counts in professional training hours I gather, etc--not a cure so far though) recommended the site once. I have very many notes & other URLs, not all of known quality. More ideas than one can try reasonably, in a lifetime, I guess, so in large part I am waiting for COVID-19 ("long covid") research to shed more light on CFS, and answers to my prayers, and I expect to get better.

My efforts at routines (work vs. rest, doing things one at a time, per plan and in order), mental habits etc have expanded greatly beyond that. There is some stuff at my web site (in profile) which has my email in the footer if you ever want to discuss details, ideas, or questions further. It's still hard but I feel peaceful and pointed in the right direction. Best to you.
Saying without examples is a pedagogical nonsense, I can't argue, because I agree.

But if I provide the two typical examples Hom(A,) and Home(,A) and how they transport the arrows it starts to click.

There is also List which is a covariant functor. The stupid Home(unit,) which is the "identity" functor.

I could also add Hom(Bool,) which is the pair functor, ie Hom(Bool,A) is a tuple in AxA. A->AxA (or A->Him(Bool, A)) is a covariant functor.

Etc. Examples are the keys to understand the idea.

Not quite related, but my oldest brother tells a story of an internship repairing 8" hard drives for CP/M machines... and having verified he'd fixed his first, picked it up, and went to stick it on the shelf.

> They almost never evolve their code bases to a second version.

This isn't necessarily true, a lot of code can and is reused between games (math, physics, audio, etc.)

In terms of isolation from the users, that isn't really true either -- the users are the rest of your team. You have to build tools for the team to use and they better be at least somewhat usable, and you need to have something workable quick so you're not blocking your artists and level designers, etc.
My experience is the exact opposite of yours. I was told for 12 years my back pain was caused by bulging discs, having a spine that has a reduced natural curve and also caused by poor posture. I read Sarno's book and I have been pain free since November last year. I have never gone longer than 2 weeks without severe sciatic or SI joint pain.

Please don't dismiss Sarno's work as BS. It may have not been the right fit for you, but it is for countless other people. Sarno's work is aimed at exactly people who don't have a real biomechanical issue like yourself. It's not a one size fits all, nor is Physiotherapy or surgery.

Also in general, Sarno doesn't reccomend journaling to everyone. A simple mindset change works for most people. Worked for me.

That was the original comment, that is all I responded to - which is just a completely ridiculous.

And if you work on cars, you'll encounter the fasteners all the time.

But there's a very popular construction screw sold at Home Depot, etc that uses a "star" bit. The overall fastener selection at Home Depot isn't amazing, never has been - they've never been much of a hardware store. Check Grainger or something.
That kind of violence is extremely rare, moreover, it happens by extremists on 'all sides' and pales in comparison to the likelihood you will be robbed/killed for all the normal reasons, and, if you live anywhere 'normal' in the US, the likelihood of any of that is actually quite low, almost (but not quite) on par with most other countries.

Despite what the headlines might have us believe.

That this is the second weirdly cynical comment espousing hugely aggrandized mistruths, this is more evidence of something odd going on than otherwise. I think we should be just as much concerned about misinformation as anything else. Unless you are in a really bad neighbourhood, or into some very bad things, odds are you are quite safe.

I don't think modular synths do a good job conveying lots of information since I have to trace wires across multiple components to try to figure out what is modulated by what. That information is not available 'at a glance'.

They're highly configurable and thus flexible in what they're capable of, but I don't think they convey information well at all.

This was a fascinating read and the kernel does quite nicely in comparison - 66% of DPDK performance is amazing. That said, the article completely nails the performance advantage: DPDK doesn't do a lot of stuff that the kernel does. That stuff takes time. If I recall correctly, DPDK abstractions themselves cost a bit of NIC performance, so it might be interesting to see a comparison including a raw NIC-specific kernel bypass framework (like the SolarFlare one).
> You wouldn't even go to drink necessarily but just go by default because that's what everyone else was doing.

Price, health aspects, time (when two people work full time, fitting in hours of drinking is harder) and possibly good availability of alternative neuro-affective substances aside, I think this is the actual "problem" pubs have now.

Not long ago, in living memory even of millennials, "going down the local" was literally your only option in a lot of rural and suburban places.

People just have things to do with friends these days that tickle the dopamine centres more than cheap beer, dirty toilets and sticky carpets. Phones, games, thousands of hours of TV and films, hacking on Linux kernel drivers over Discord, whatever. You don't even have to always physically meet up any more to hang out, and you certainly don't have to pay by the minute for telecoms any more. Once the network effect of "that's just where my mates are going to be" is gone, so are you.

Ask HN: What do you look for when reviewing 3rd party dependencies?
As downloading and using 3rd party dependencies is as normal as writing code nowadays, it feels like the process of reviewing said dependencies has fallen out of fashion.

Normally (or "back in the day" rather) you'd read through the code, see if it's of "maintainable" quality in case you're gonna have to fork it, see if the code quality is at least average, the author being consistent, having good tests and so on.

But today I see people just pulling down fresh 3rd party dependencies just because their peers are using the same ones, or going by number of GitHub stars to see if it's OK to use.

If you're reviewing dependencies before using them, what kind of things are you looking for? Is there something obvious that would immediately make you reject the dependency outright?

If you're not, do you go by some other metrics or even feelings to understand if it's OK to depend on this dependency or not?
Fascinating article. When I taught my 16-year-old to drive recently (in the US), it became quickly apparent which auto controls are intuitive, and which are arbitrary and require memorization and habit. For ex:

- Turning the steering wheel clockwise to go right, counterclockwise to go left: He got this immediately.

- Flicking the turn lever up to indicate a right turn, down to indicate a left turn: This confused him and he got it wrong for days.

- Pushing the turn lever forward to turn on the high beams, pulling for low beams: Also made no sense to him, and took days to get correct.
They are - usually a place will charge 3-4x, sometimes 5-6x depending on the type of liquor and brand, what they paid for the product. You lose a bit to labor if you're making craft cocktails, as there can be a lot of prep behind those. Having a good wine list usually means have a sommelier or wine steward who will get paid a bit more than the rest of the serving staff. But for the most part the labor costs for front-of-house are nothing ($2.13/hr in a lot of states) compared to the cooking staff.

I always wonder if one can take solace in the fact that one has a problem that everybody else also is dealing with/will be dealing with and so there is a huge financial (and quite frankly medically selfish) incentive to solve.

The opposite of that is that having such thoughts immediately makes me feel a shitty person because financial resources are not infinite and if they are thrown at solving the problem that everybody is dealing with it means that people with rare diseases are getting the short hand of the stick.

There's not a lot more exhausting than chronic pain. I spend 6 months of the year not working because I need time for other parts of my life, otherwise all I do is work and rest. But after many years, I've found a good balance.

The best thing I found..

- Find out how much you can work. If it's even just 1 hour a day, you can still make a living.

- Make a list of people you don't want to lose contact with, you need to plan your visits and reaching out. Otherwise you'll end up alone, on your own. That makes everything harder.

- Find a job or business that can support async work. There's a lot more options these days than there were even 2 years ago. Startups, dodgy greyhat tech businesses, your own SaaS are all options. Find or create a niche. This is the hard one, but there's opportunity out there - you just need to find it. Blog posts on LinkedIn, Medium articles, get your name out there - this is a good start. Write about what you know, then write about what you're interested in. You're already on the front page of HN, so you're past the majority of people.

Right now you're out of money though so what you need right now is..

- To be able eat, keep shelter, and a source to support those things - in your case - internet and power.

Figure out those first. Because without them, you're screwed. Thankfully you're probably eligible for credit cards and all sorts of bad debt, obviously find the "best of the worst" option and go with that if you can't sell anything or loan from family.

Thanks for that suggestion! I need to make a V2 of the website to present the uniqueness upfront which is that I took out the VC channels outside of servers(as oppose to discord where in order to join a voice channel, you need to be a member of the server), and instead made them as accessible audio/video rooms for friends/members/anyone with a link can drop in when they want to hang out. You just have to be friends with someone, and not have to be in the same server.

I think it's fair to say that believing in a "functioning US democracy" is akin to believing in Santa Claus.

There has never been a functioning US democracy, for at least as long as I've been alive (50+ years). Instead, the US political system can best be described as an oligarchy that catters to corporate power. The mechanism that constitutes the backbone of this oligarchy does not change, regardless of which political party "rules".
