Early Product Lessons (2016)
I'm working on a native wrapper for SWT with GraalVM. The resulting library with base SWT is about 18M, which is fairly large, but definitely workable.

I have successfully used the wrapper from C and Zig as a proof of concept. The main goal was to originally expose SWT for Nim, but I got pretty side tracked. I'll probably make a show HN later this year when I have it in a usable state. I haven't gotten callbacks working quite yet, which makes it pretty useless.

I'm a bit worried about performance, but I'll throw a cassowary constraint manager on top of a ton of widgets and see how it does. Memory usage with an empty window is ~35mb at 1920x1080. It successfully works on Windows, Linux, and MacOS x86 and aarch64.

But they aren't and the article doesn't suggest they are.
This is the correct behaviour, =SUM(A1) should give you A1 in both Excel and Google Sheets. You are passing in a single cell into SUM, so only asking it to add that cell up (not the cells below).

You must refer to a range of cells for it to work - in Excel this would be for instance =SUM(A:A).

In Google Sheets: generally you write a formula and hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter which will turn it into an array formula.

In Excel there are many more options in how to handle this, one of which is to define a table in Excel (Insert -> Table) and then refer to the table and column (=TableName[Column]).
NFTs are art-projects, status-symbols, patreons, access keys (conferences/private discords), and an experiment in IP law (as owning a Bored Ape confers merchandising rights.) The space is more interesting than just jpegs.

If a government gives a company permission to drill for oil in a certain area, the government should not revoke it. If it does, it should compensate the company for financial losses. That is how the rule of law works -- which the author opposes:

"The energy charter treaty started as an EU agreement in 1991 which guaranteed legal safeguards for companies invested in energy projects such as offshore oil rigs. Under Article 10 (1) of the treaty, these investments must “enjoy the most constant protection and security”. If government policies change in order to curtail these projects, such as Italy’s 2019 decision to ban drilling for oil and gas within 12 miles of its coast, the government is obliged to compensate the relevant company for its lost future earnings."
Can you give more info on this so I know what to look out for?
I currently do. One of my managers complains bitterly about meetings, management decisions and people he dislikes to a usual group of people he feels he trusts (which I am sadly in, and he will trash members of that group whilst talking other members also), he generally exhibits little empathy and frequently declares work he organizes to be easy, discourages dissent in estimates in sprint planning and then needles people when they struggle with it whilst never leaning in to help, and is broadly disrespectful to people he perceives as moving slower than his pace or that think different. I've had a falling out with him before, but have ended up reporting to him again due to unfortunate events.

Generally, he refuses to work with people to build trust and advance his views, fails to control his temper and also refuses to try and identify deeper issues behind things he gets annoyed about in terms of process or the organization, which means a lot of his behavior is meaningless and he functionally does very little.

Frustratingly, I feel like I've become a more impatient and less supporting person whilst working under him as it's easy to get caught up in impotent anger, and I'm having to carefully reexamine how I work with people to try and find a better normal. I've previously had a very good manager before that, so this has been very hard for me.
Germany jumped into solar really early and it's very far north so it’s not that relevant when considering todays tradeoffs.

41.3 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2016 was frankly excessive though it helped PV get much cheaper. Unfortunately, Germany now stuck with these huge agreed upon subsides for another decade.
People skills are more important than attitude, intelligence, and knowledge.

Yes, they have blown their shot at it by failing to launch a compelling product while the rest of the industry was not paying attention. The rest of the industry has had a few years to figure things out and whatever advantage they had five years ago, no longer exists or is greatly diminished.

I wouldn't count Meta as the victor though. So far, all we have is a lot of vapor ware and a lot of rumors about what Facebook Apple, Google, MS, etc. may or may not do. We'll likely get some new generation of goggles in the next few years but beyond that, I don't think there is much of a plan.

This smells a lot like the late nineties when the battle was on for who would own the best walled garden. We had Compuserve, AOL, Yahoo, and many other contenders. In the end none of those walled gardens survived and
However, people instead pivoted to using the products of completely new companies (like Google).

I think we'll get a repeat of that and somebody will find a use for those shiny new goggles (beyond games and porn, the traditional accelerators of any new thing on the web). I don't think that's likely to come out of the corporate headquarters of big public companies.

Ask HN: Jobs Without Growth and Recognition
What are some jobs and roles that will be gone forever?

When recession and unemployment are influx, may jobs get an uplift or there is huge shift is roles and positions. Any jobs that might go away forever?
Correct. Somehow, though, Linux does "everything" better than any other OS I've used in the past. Relative to MacOS and Windows, Linux really can be the best of both worlds. Linux still plays the games that MacOS and even Windows do not. Linux is still getting regular updates on my laptop from 2007. It hosts my Plex server, handles the majority of my work-related tasks, and generally it doesn't really complain. Having spent dozens of hours working around roadblocks in MacOS and tweaking Windows to just barely be a dev environment, I'm perfectly happy to use Linux even if though it is total garbage, because the kernel is almost undeniably better than modern NT or XNU.

I still think the world of Linux desktop development is a total disaster, though. GNOME is out for blood, KDE is building great stuff on a terrible library, and everyone else is just shifting uncomfortably because Wayland still isn't desktop-agnostic (much less hardware-agnostic, for that matter). The way things are headed, I wouldn't be surprised if Linux was almost entirely unsupported by Slack/Spotify/Discord in 2025.

Just got super nostalgic for my Beanie Baby collection!
I think probably the reason is that in 2008, consumer chips were still mostly single or dual core. Today we have consumer grade chips that have dozens of cores, so the calculus has changed.

I'd rather be middle class in a developed country now than any king 200 years ago. No amount of wealth could have gotten me modern medicine, especially anesthesia(!). Even stuff that's now trivial like pretty fresh tropical fruit or good food from other countries in general would have been very hard to come by. I have way more knowledge and entertainment at my finger tips than any medieval king could have ever dreamed of.
Doesn’t this assume the existence of a strong fourth estate and/or an executive branch, able and willing to investigate leaks?

There are ways to at least partially inoculate against leaks; regulatory capture and elimination of accountability, quid pro quo journalism, “fact checking”-driven censorship, or just simply positioning yourself politically so that the responsible entities don’t want to investigate.

Anything left over can be written off as a smear job, a conspiracy theory, etc.

> Yeah, I don't believe that happened.

It's not hard to believe that an 11-year-old being taught about transgenderism might come away with "if you feel uncomfortable in your body, it means you are transgender" as the message - even if it wasn't intended by the teacher. Humans of all ages love to believe they have more control than they do and it's easy to imagine how a kid might decide to pursue transgender treatments to try and escape puberty.

> Why isn't this parent complaining about the lousy quality of the sex education in the kid's school?

I'm pretty sure the main point of this blog post was complaining about how her child's school handles sex education, particularly in regards to sexual identity.

> Does anyone seriously think the teachers informed the parents of that?

A nickname with seemingly no derogatory implications is not comparable to the sexual identity of a child.

> Just how many minors are getting 'radical surgery' without their parents consent? Who then is paying for it?

I don't think the implication was that their child would attempt to get surgery on their own. Rather, that they are finding it tough to balance the immediate desires of their child with their own concerns about their child's long-term well being - particularly while the school promotes messages which conflict with their own.
NFTs as you pay top dollar for a random hash string. Because thats what you get. At least you can give the Beanie Babies to your kids to play with them when the market crashed.

It's one thing if some random employee doesn't take care about a social media account that can trivially be associated with their company. But high-ranked executives, particularly in sensitive departments?! JFC it's not that hard to create an anonymous account on any social media site except Facebook.
It makes sense. I think one of the challenges is the question of how much you need to store in order to be able to do this. Hanging onto every request/response object / parameters for an interaction with an API can be become expensive pretty quickly.

This becomes an issue when you start thinking about what is considered to be a bug. If you're just talking about error codes, then you're probably fine to store everything. But when you talk about unexplained (but not erroneous) behaviour from the API, how much you need to store to catch the bugs is an important consideration.
Discord is definitely worse. at least for technical communities. There's no need for a project or a technical community to have many channels. you need #project-support and #project-development that's basically it, having an entire server for that is way overkill, and whoever wants more, there's always email or a forum (Hell, you can just run host a fossil server which has a forum/chat now). I understand easy phone access, but discord is not it, if anything, Telegram, offer a IRC+ for the modern era.
And how little tax they pay
Very good comments here, so I'll just add that knowledge without attitude is as dangerous as attitude without knowledge. For an entrepreneur is best to develop both.

"Justice without power is empty, power without justice is violence. To be strong to protect yourself and others is your goal."
> Yes what kind of procedure is needed often is known in advance. The details often only emerge after it's been started though. Just because it's routine does not at all mean it's all predictably-in-advance the same throughout, except for really basic stuff, which in turn is unlikely to be the big cost driver.

I dunno that I'd call a broken leg "really basic stuff".

This is what I responded to and what I quoted in my original post:

> "Here is the cash price. We won't know your HDHP insurance price until after we bill them, which could be good for you or could be bad."

So, yeah, the supplier currently knows in advance what it costs to fix a broken leg. There is no reason for the price of more mundane medical care to be opaque at all.
From Jimmy Wales – WT.Social Needs Your Help
Dear Supporters,

I need your help.

All the problems in the world that I've set out to try to solve with WikiTribune Social are as bad as ever. We're all seeing the possibility that Elon Musk will buy twitter and turn it into a radical free speech troll zone. He’s notorious himself for bad behavior on twitter - he definitely won't make twitter less toxic. He’s promised to allow Donald Trump back on the platform in the name of ‘free speech’, but let's be clear what he really wants: Trump kept twitter on the front page of every newspaper in the world for half a decade and it's very profitable for them to bring him back, no matter the cost.

WikiTribune has a different model. A strange model, to be sure, but it's one that I believe in. We don’t want our platform to grow by focussing on having as many pageviews as possible by maximizing addiction and outrage. We want to build something that people like you care enough about to support voluntarily, financially. It's a "pay if you want" model. I've joked many times - it may not be a great business model to give things away and hope people will voluntarily support them - but this is how I've built my career so far!
We are severely short on funds

There's no simple way to avoid saying it. I've chosen not to raise venture capital money because I want to maintain full creative control to build the vision that I have in mind. Over the past two years, I've been personally the major funder of the project - but it's straining my personal resources.

Over the past several months, we've gone back to the codebase and completely re-architected it from scratch pulling from everything that we've learned so far. We've got a great small community and the new software will have new ways to support and reward people for making quality posts (instead of how all other social networks reward people for making viral addictive fluff). Finishing this redesign will have a huge impact. I'm excited about it!

But to finish, I need your support. I have to pay for the development work to finish the new version of the site, and I need to do some PR and marketing to get the word out. I need to really start pushing this forward as a relaunch. If each of you can afford to give even a little, I think we have a real shot at making something revolutionary and new. We won't know unless we keep trying.

This is our chance to break the back of toxic social media by offering a better alternative. With Musk’s impending Twitter purchase, and the US elections approaching, time is short to create a space for healthier discourse, so please donate today.

Good question. The M1 can do more than one by using a special hub (don't remember the specifics) - would be nice if the M2 supported multiple natively.

And my "Test" comment is now visible again. I wonder if the dev is changes things back to normal to gaslight me. I would still appreciate if someone could look at the logs to see who is doing that and ask them to stop.
we had this optimized string before here. I really wanted to try it out in a compiler or runtime, but hadn't had the time yet. anyone else already tried it?

Am I an outlier in the fact that I'll listen to any type of music when programming, not just ambient(boring) stuff? Maybe it takes a mental adjustment, but it seems like my brain tunes it out as needed. It's certainly easier to tune out than co-workers talking.

what does this mean if your company is acquired and run by a private equity? will the rising fed rate mean that they are looking to cut out the highest salaries? am I better off not takin a higher salary because that might paint a red target on myself?
The critique is perhaps not relevant here, since it suffices to say that the country's wealth can afford a health care system not held together by "spit and twine", irrespective of how that wealth is presently apportioned. The wealth gap is, as you say, enormous.

In fact, the wealth gap is but a reflection of the underlying cause of the problem: legislators corrupted to the interests of the donor class at severe cost to the actual constituents of those legislators.
So only unscrupulous people succeed, right? That's what you're implying.

You assume I care about Musk's success. Being unethical is a big part of it, sure.

But if I could choose for Musk to be a failure, I would. He hasn't done anything that benefited me, and now he's determined to do things that are actively harmful (removing safeguards at Twitter, pushing "FSD" alpha software onto roads, supporting authoritarian politicians in the US).
Interesting point. So, hopefully the science of environmental stewardship gets a name like “Environmental Engineering” or “Resilience Engineering” from the NSF and grows the pie.

Because the costs of not adapting to climate-related environmental change will be astronomical. I mean, would you say climate adaptation is on par with the importance and urgency of curing cancer? The arguments would be interesting.
The user agreed in facebook to have is data "public", so it can't complain that a robot scrap it.

Nothing prevents him to restrict access to his pages an data to "trusted" friends.
Well, I wasn't having a go at you. I just think it's an interesting word; I was throwing some light on its origins, and noting how the word "virii" is used as if it were an import word from Latin, but which never existed in Latin.

Your "sed" suggestion is interesting, but there are many abused words that my inner pedant would have to put through the filter. Not all of them are HTML markup. So I envision a kind of "super-sed", that can auto-translate all of my linguistic experience, including text, speech, video, and even road-signs, and make everything nice for me.

Neat startup plan: world-changing idea, huge ambition, no detailed explanation of how it works, but hell; fake it till you make it.
> Is the waste problem solved?

It has never been a problem in the first place. At least not a technical problem. Sure, it is nasty stuff, to be treated with respect, but not worse than toxic chemicals we regularly deal with. It is also potentially useful stuff: rare, exotic matter that gives off energy. Compare with coal plants that also produce nuclear waste (there are radioisotopes in coal), but that waste is dumped in the air you breathe.

> Are old powerplants properly decommissioned and replaced with new ones when the time comes?

The are properly decommissioned, and it is really expensive, and that's indeed a real problem with nuclear power: it is expensive. But the thing is: nuclear plants don't have an expiration date like bottles of milk, you could potentially run them forever with regular maintenance. The reason we don't do that is that is that over time, maintenance becomes more and more expensive, parts become obsolete and stop being produced, etc... At some point it is cheaper to build a new, better plant and decommission the old one instead of spending a fortune on obsolete parts and retrofitting.

> Can we really claim to be able to handle worst case scenarios well (e.g. Fukushima)?

No, they wouldn't be worst case scenarios if we could, but we are doing our best. In the end, even with Chernobyl, nuclear power is still one of the safest per unit of energy produced. It is no excuse, Fukushima shouldn't have happened, but if the only response to an accident was to stop everything, we wouldn't do much.
