Fifteen years ago I had a job offer from Jane St sitting in my inbox, and I turned it down to work in tech.

Could I have made more money at Jane St? No idea. Probably? But money isn't exactly holding me back right now.

Would I have felt like I was working on interesting problems? For me, personally, I don't think so. I don't find abstract problems as interesting as I do practical ones, and, practically, working at Jane St is working to make a few rich guys incrementally richer. Not really a problem I'm interested in, I guess.

(As an aside, it seems to me retention is much higher in tech than it is on Wall St. The rosy view of this seems to be that Wall St pays so well that everyone retires early, but then again, there's a reason they call it "compensation.")

You have to make your own choices. Jane St has a gleaming reputation--and maybe, for you, it would have been a perfect match!--but not getting hired there seems to me to be a strange thing to consider a "greatest regret."
Totally agree. That behaviour is exactly what I would expect.

All in all, I really don't get the dramatic tone in this article. It turns out that in python (as in most languages that give you access to the internals) if you mess with the internals the results are well messy. But literally nothing in this article suprised me at all.
> It’s also a feature you never ever have to know about or touch.

The "never have to know or touch" argument applies only to the lone hacker working on a completely new project with no inherited legacy code.
Those things in the middle do sound risky. But what's the alternative really? What energy do we have that (i) scales, and (ii) comes at will? Right now that's mostly nuclear and fossil.

Now there's this thing called "global warming", caused by fossil fuels. That thing is poised to displace billions of people as parts of the planet becomes unfit for human life. That means wars, famine, and disease, whose scale will increase with the warming.

What's the greater risk? Those mid-level nuclear waste, or the continued use of fossil fuel? Sure we could have energy storage to make wind and solar work, but the costs to make that work at scale without a secondary source are enormous (I believe Jancovici once reported it would multiply the costs of renewable by 6 or so).

There's no such thing as "clean" energy. It's a tradeof all around. Our problem right now is to find the least bad source of energy. Which by the way depends on the geographical and geopolitical situation of each part of the world. Nuke plants make more sense in France than they do in other countries. Iceland for instance has more geothermal opportunities.

Hi, I'm Marija!
I'm passionate about building efficient, mobile‑first responsive web applications using JavaScript and React with experience of building them throughout a two‑year‑long career‑changing journey to a fulfilling role as a Front-End Engineer.
The thing I am still missing is a zero-weight alternative to Github/lab. Most of the task performed on either of them could be done in a completely distributed fashion (issue tracking, CI, etc.), just like git itself. But there has been frustratingly little development in that area, though a few projects exists (e.g. "git-bug", "act").
> The Asahi developers have also stated that Apple tends to keep hardware peripheral interfaces stable across generations (they speculate that this is to keep things easy for their own OS dev teams)

It's crazy what happens when hardware designers collaborate with software developers. The current de-facto standard of working in silos with no regard for how the other party gets their part done is what's led us to the current global status quo.
While not the spirit of your question, I would love to see the system that could resolve global NYSE hourly demand at an hourly cadence.

One aspect is that companies can grow much faster than people do. Someone who's decent at managing 5 people will need many years of experience to become capable at properly managing 500 people, and a company can grow to needing such a manager much faster than that. Just as you can't expect a skilled individual contributor to be able to instantly become a good manager (they can, but that's a different skillset that needs both learning and practice which will take some time), so if you suddenly need a bunch of good managers now then you have to hire them instead of promoting your contributors; and in the same manner you can't expect a skilled team-lead to become a good CxO in a large organization (the difference in the daily work and skillset is comparable to that of IC to manager), so if you suddenly need CxOs to become a larger organization from a small one, it's exceedingly likely that none of your managers are qualified at the moment - they might become qualified with, say, two years of personal growth if targeted at that, but a fast growing company likely can't wait those two years and need a CxO that can start doing these things properly now.

That's because you shouldn't hire them but you should grow them internally. Outside hires for executive positions are usually a great way to de-stabilize your company, early hires tend to be loyal to the founders and if you then hire some 'suit' to sit between them and you you risk them breaking off.

So the solution to this problem is to ensure that your early hires are all top notch with the potential to eventually build out to become your C-suite, and to treat them as generously as you can when it comes to equity.

And if you're really smart you stick to that mantra: hire quality over quantity, it will allow you to push back the typical organizational struggles until you've achieved an order of magnitude or more in revenues (assuming product market fit).

In my experience, this doesn’t work. It’s always in everyone’s “In a perfect world” plans, but no one ever seems to have much to say, in the beginning.

Even technically-proficient major stakeholders (for example, managers and testers) seldom offer much in the way of feedback, early in the project.

I have learned to write my applications in a manner that affords “hands-on” testing, as early as possible, and I use techniques that allow a lot of pivoting.

I wrote the following comment, in an earlier thread[0] where I discuss this approach.

I used a Casio electronic dictionary for many years. I bought it when I moved to Japan, then kept using it for several years after moving back to the US. You'd be surprised how often a word comes up that you assume you know, and, just to be sure you double-check and what-do-you-know, you were way off!

The pre-color dictionary models would wake from sleep instantly after opening the cover. Then you type your word in on a physical keyboard, glance at the definition, and then close it again. The AAA batteries would several months. Compare with a phone where you have to put in your password to unlock it, you type on a screen, the keyboard takes precious screen space where you need to display definitions, you have to recharge every day, etc.

But I absolutely love the ideas expressed in the post. Offline-first, data freedom, basic study support, simple layout. Data freedom, in particular, is something Casio's never had (using Oxford, etc.).

Done well, a good dictionary makes collecting words as fun as collecting Pokemon was.
There are places you van rent an fpga, it looks like azure offers this for example.

Ask HN: Meal Planning App?
How do you plan meals / food shopping?

I want to have a list of recipes which I rotate round every 4-6 weeks, which then creates a shopping list each week, minus any ingredients I still have in the fridge.

Does such a tool exist? All the meal planning apps are over complicated, focus on specific diets, and generally can’t seem to do this task.

>In fact Europe was losing money to Asia

Thank you for the article, very interesting read! China absorbed a lot of precious metals from Europe and elsewhere (silver more then gold as was the case with India historically). The British Empire used military force first in India and later in China, motivated in part by the precious metal deficit. And as consequent as the Raj was in the process, I mentioned China to add depth and nuance to the narrative and to illustrate that the precious metal outflow was by no means stopped by the British administration of India.
This happened to us.

Zooming way out, it’s an interesting case study in innovation. The military must be the largest and longest tightly-controlled organization of humans in the US. They certainly have spent time thinking about this issue. But the marketplace (both “of ideas” and literal profit-driven) is even bigger, and found the better solution.

I wonder if the military, and other large innovation-seeking organizations, could give members a “Desk Budget” which is carefully tracked as “voting with your dollars” and eventually bring some of the popular items into standard issue through central procurement. Basically crowdsourcing the constant scan for market innovation.

I like to look at these things through the lens of "collective action problems".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action_problem

Notably, this recasts the problem as "we can't do this noble thing because everyone would suffer" to "we can't do this smart thing that will improve everyone's lives, because small connected groups currently profit from everyone else's misery".

It's like the scheme in the original superman film (and Office Space) to become rich by stealing fractions of pennies from lots of people.

In some ways that is more hopeful, if only people could be made to see that it's in everyone's benefit and work together we'd be fine.

But then you look at recorded human history and see that, while "civilization" does overall trend in that direction, it gets fought all the way by the concentrated interests, often to catastrophic ends.

Like WW1 and WW2 essentially being about people trying to hold back the rising tide of democracy (see footnote). The Holocaust arising fairly directly from Russian royalty's anti-democratic propaganda being constantly repurposed for the same ends. A pattern that continues to this day.

Footnote:

> In 1919 Adolf Hitler was recruited into the political department of the German Army in Munich. During his training he impressed the senior officers with his abilities as an orator. Hitler soon became an educational officer whose duties included lecturing soldiers returning from the war on the dangers of socialism, pacifism and democracy. The army considered this important work, as they feared that the Russian Revolution might spread to Germany.

> Hitler was also asked to investigate the radical political organisations that had emerged in the city after the war. In September 1919, he was sent to spy on the German Workers' Party. Hitler reported back that it posed no threat as it was small in numbers (only 40 members) and was extremely hostile to communism. Under the orders of his commanding officer, Captain Karl Mayr, Hitler joined the German Workers' Party with instructions to use his talents to help it grow.

I think there is little accountability for drivers. We were in France recently, and getting an uber anywhere was very tough. We would be offered to 3 or 4 drivers who would all decline, and then when you eventually get one, they often cancelled en route. Several drivers saw us with luggage and small children and either drove off or told us that they weren't going to take us. It's not an exaggeration that it would take 30-40 minutes before getting a ride every time.
