Woodworking with the occasional bit of electronics mixed in to sell on Etsy and locally. Buy a bad ass CNC router, laser engraver, and 3d printer. And a bunch of Festool power tools. And a small shop. The YouTubers make it look easy, which I know it’s not. But I already enjoy doing this for personal projects. If I had better tools and more time, I am sure I could make professional quality items and would love doing it.
Great question.

Let me know what you find out, I'm ready
Love laundromats. Love speed queens. Cash money, reliable assets, and no moral issues with providing laundry services. Same with car washes, good margins there too.

> There is a mathematical theorem that forbids you from writing down a discrete version of certain quantum field theories.

> You know, if you take this theorem at face value, it’s telling us we’re not living in the Matrix. The way you simulate anything on a computer is by first discretizing it and then simulating. And yet there’s a fundamental obstacle seemingly to discretizing the laws of physics as we know it. So we can’t simulate the laws of physics, but it means no one else can either. So if you really buy this theorem, then we’re not living in the Matrix.

I don't buy this reasoning.

I can encode the continuous function f(x) = x^2 on a computer.
Then I can calculate this function for any number up to any digit, if I allocate enough memory.

I don't need to allocate a discrete domain up-front and then stick to it at all times. I can increase and decrease the accuracy as needed.

In a similar fashion I could simulate a continuous universe encoded with continuous operators. I could simulate it on a discrete lattice with certain precision as long as nobody inside the simulation builds equipment that can measure things "in-between" the lattice points. And when somebody does, at that moment, I can simply pause the simulation, calculate the values of my operators using a locally-denser lattice, then unpause. The observer with their equipment wouldn't notice anything because the simulation was paused, they would just get the correct measurement.
How come there is no SQLite of Datalog? You can find plenty of implementations of embedded datalog database in a specific language, where the query API is tied to the language. I want to write text datalog queries and access my database from multiple languages. Why doesn’t this exist?
Reviewing the categories of a movie I know well, I’m seeing a lot of votes aren’t solidly one way or the other, but there’s an upvoted comment explaining how it’s actually “yes”. Makes me wonder if some people are just quickly and incorrectly voting on things by memory.

On the other hand it’s also very incomplete. There are so many movies/show times the number of categories. For example, there’s a scene in Mr. Robot that I just can’t follow the discussion because of chewing sounds when some guy’s eating ribs with his mouth open while they discuss some plan (misophonia category) but for Mr. Robot misophonia it has 1 yes, 1 no, and the one comment doesn’t mention that. And whoever voted no was probably just guessing.

Scientific paper on ocean acidification, which takes the reader through the chemistry:

https://co2coalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/2015-Coh...

It states in summary that:

"doubling atmospheric CO2 from the current level of 400 ppm to 800
ppm only decreases the pH of ocean water from about 8.2 to 7.9. This is well within the day-night fluctuations that already occur because of photosynthesis by plankton"

"doubling atmospheric CO2 from the current level of 400 ppm to 800
ppm only decreases the carbonate-ion concentration, [CO2−3], by about 30%. Ocean
surface waters are already supersaturated by several hundred per cent for formation
of CaCO3 crystals from Ca2+ and CO2−3. So scare stories about dissolving carbonate
shells are nonsense."

"Over most of the Phanerozoic, the past 550 million years, CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have been measured in thousands of parts per million, and life flourished in both the oceans and on land. This is hardly surprising, given the relative insensitivity of ocean pH to large changes in CO2 concentrations that we have discussed above, and given the fact that the pH changes that do occur are small compared to the natural variations of ocean pH in space and time"

"This minimalist discussion already shows how hard it is to scare informed people with ocean acidification, but, alas, many people are not informed."

If you or anyone else thinks this paper's calculations are wrong, then that would be interesting to learn why.
If switching from beef to chicken is an option, and switching from beef to lentils is an option, and you say that switching from beef to chickens is the best option then you are indeed implying that switching from beef to chicken is better than switching from beef to lentils. You need not explicitly state exactly that; it logically follows from what you said.

Also you refute the general scientific consensus among all major nutrition and dietetic institutions worldwide that animal products are not required to be healthy at any stage of life by saying “that’s probably not true”. You’ve got to admit how silly that is, right? Unless the “at the margin” part of what you said means something I don’t understand?
That's the point. It's a word that won't appear anywhere else in the training data but your own articles. I'm not sure how these models work for such edge cases. But I'm curious if you could get a model to learn some associations on your articles alone. You could define a new part of language.
I will view HP printers suspiciously if I'm ever in the market again, and I won't consider Canon unless everything else is a poor fit. Both brands just make it hard for no good reason. Canon in particular makes using their printers with anything other than Windows arbitrarily difficult.
The US rail network does what it is designed to do very well - move absolutely insane amounts of freight (container/truck and bulk) relatively quickly over insanely long distances.

Unless you live in or near a deep-water ocean port, almost everything you have went on a train at some point if you're in the US.
That would probably be quite efficient from an energy-standpoint, but we'd need too much rails to make it work at scale.

Cool as hell, though. When going to visit one of my grandparents, I usually pass by a decommissioned railroad that now does bicycle draisines for tourism-purposes. I really should go ahead and ride that some day, it seems like a lot of fun.
For issue management, sure – but just using Github doesn't remove the semi-decentralization of git.
Good point but writing and maintaining README.md files for your solo projects is nothing like writing proper docs for big projects with multiple contributors and users. That's a full time job, isn't it?

Writing non-code is easy and fun to me - I used to do it for a living - but when I am pressed to deliver features, documentation takes a backseat. Also, I've never felt like documenting other people's code
"The survey must be bad because it doesn't fit my optics" is an awful take.

I agree with it that when the OSS is in the early stages. When the OSS has a large number of users, forms a community, and has commercial potential, things will change.
I remember Thomas Salanderer (a very prominent 3d printing YouTuber) saying he refuses to use Klipper just because of how toxic their community is. God knows what lead to that kind of behaviour around a 3d printer firmware!). On the other hand I’ve experienced nothing but friendliness from Gina and the Octoprint community!
> ..The only qualification to be a professional is whether you make money with your work.

So true. And professionals can range from "mindblowing to the putrid, with no guarantees" too. In fact, I'd say they are able to achieve a far greater level of putrid than non-professionals, "amateurs".

> An amateur is generally considered a person who pursues an avocation independent from their source of income. Amateurs and their pursuits are also described as popular, informal, self-taught, user-generated, DIY, and hobbyist.

That does describe much of the open source world.

But great work has come from amateurs. Ah, Wikipedia has a wonderful description of this.

> Contribution of amateurs

> Many amateurs make valuable contributions in the field of computer programming through the open source movement.

> Amateur dramatics is the performance of plays or musical theater, often to high standards, but lacking the budgets of professional West End or Broadway performances.

> Astronomy, chemistry, history, linguistics, and the natural sciences are among the fields that have benefited from the activities of amateurs. Gregor Mendel was an amateur scientist who never held a position in his field of study. Radio astronomy was founded by Grote Reber, an amateur radio operator. Radio itself was greatly advanced by Guglielmo Marconi, a young Italian gentleman who started out by tinkering with a coherer and a spark coil as an amateur electrician. Pierre de Fermat was a highly influential mathematician whose primary vocation was law.

> In the 2000s and 2010s, the distinction between amateur and professional has become increasingly blurred, especially in areas such as computer programming, music and astronomy. The term amateur professionalism, or pro-am, is used to describe these activities.
> the National Renewable Energy Laboratory indicates that today’s batteries may last 12 to 15 years in moderate climates (8 to 12 years in extreme climates).

We are talking about web development, while the survey you linked is about all software developers. No one argues that Windows is king in software development world in general, but for web development I would argue Linux/Mac duo is way more popular.

At this point I'd probably just put that money into blue chip (especially tech) stocks. They got beat up pretty bad the past year but are starting to recover (Apple stock is up 32% just since mid-June).

I'd probably get a larger return in a shorter time than investing in any random startup right now, with less risk.
It's kind of amazing how our beliefs are still mostly formed by our surroundings. Even in the age of internet where information is plenty and free.

I still read often in HN that "most people use iPhones" and "almost no dev uses Windows".

Makes me question if my own beliefs have these enormous misconceptions too.

Starting 2023 it will be lower than the UK as well for any business above GBP 250,000 when HMRC bumps that rate to 25%. Heck, I would argue that even 20.6% is not that different to the current 19% across the board in the UK.
If you're actually interested in this, start hanging around Rockler or other such stores, get to know people, and I daresay you'll find someone who has all the equipment and none of the time who would love to collaborate.

Festool is amazing but ... honestly for many things there's better, unless you're particularly looking for dust containment on actual job sites (their drywall sander, and the domino joiner, are unparalleled).
In this case it is also possible to encode the message up to and including fields 1 and 2, then repeatedly encoding field 3 and concatenating the resulting buffers. Protobuf is designed to do this.

Inflation isn't a solution. It only cuts the value of existing debt. But future borrowing costs will increase, and potentially spiral out of control. In the long run some form of technical default is a distinct possibility.

>People aren't dumb. Cars are expensive yet extremely popular. Thus, car travel is superior when it comes to satisfying the needs of the owners. Train travel is often more costly and much more inconvenient. Air travel obviously doesn't work on short routes. Travel by bike comes closest in terms of cost and convenience, but only in good weather, for extremely short routes, and with relatively little baggage.

This is purely a function of contemporary car-oriented infrastructure, nothing more. People do indeed select the choice that is most convenient, and the built environment as is today does favor the use of cars.

Though, for all the reasons mentioned in this thread, and more, this is a grim mistake.

>That being said, cities don't have to look like the US dystopian suburb. Germany, for instance, is full of towns and cities that are walkable, bikable, and impose no artificial restrictions on car ownership and usage. It's the big cities that have problems with cars due to space constraints. But that's not an inherent property of cars. They start to see similar issues with cargo bikes and will arguably face problems with kitchen ownership at some point.

Cargo bikes scale far better than cars. Germany, while better than the U.S, is still not peak built environment. As a nation they lean quite a bit on cars.
Can the compiler statically prove that it’ll not cause stack overflow? Otherwise recursion seems quite unsafe.
We should also talk about why this is the case. JavascriptCore. The reason Bun is so fast is mostly due to the fact that it is using Apple's JavascriptCore and what all of the benchmark comparisons are really doing are comparing Google's V8 engine to Apple's JavascriptCore engine.

So basically, there will never be Windows support until JavascriptCore is able to be used on Windows and I'm not entirely sure on the state of that. My guess is that it has limited to no support for that scenario.
What is up with buns binary config file? How does one check dependency versions and warn of security vulns? How can someone think binary format config is a good idea?

Honestly the DRMification of everything is getting out of hand. It's not just tractors. Much of the industrial gear for sale has the same problems. Vendors seem to think it's acceptable. We need a DRM-free mark and a complaints registration system to provide a PR-pushback mechanism.

Modern popular culture and even some scholarship exaggerates the degree to which women were forcibly excluded from intellectual life in medieval Europe.

Some time ago, I was perusing some late-medieval illuminated manuscripts and came across a picture presenting a philosophy class at the university of Paris. The scene showed the professor on a podium, addressing about two dozen students at bench desks. About half the students were women.
I haven't tried but it's probably true, if only because sourcehut is aimed towards multi users, multi repo, multi projects. Which is far more than what self hosting people need.

I still believe it makes sense to use sourcehut as a basis rather than Gogs/gitea or even gitlab
I don't think we disagree, and I agree that I could probably refine my advocacy a bit.

Not really - specs and sound wise, it's not any different from any other integrated class D analog input amp. Pretty run of the mill THD and SNR specs.

It also has one hell of a startup transient. It was not a fun exercise to get that passing startup click/pop requirements. I said some words about TI in anger while bench testing.
Rubbish. The people who commissioned this story have no way of knowing your experience. They're hoping you don't trust your own perceptions, and they're catering to CxO's retrograde biases.

Because a poorly-documented product that does something, is much better than a well-documented product that does nothing.

Engineers have to decide where to spend their time, and taking time away from feature development when your early-stage product doesn't have many features is not a winning move.
You must have at least one legal representative, usually a director, in Sweden.

You can apply for temporary exemptions, but they are temporary and you are supposed to have good reason.

There’s no explicit requirements that any particular position must be held in Sweden, you can be a VD in the EEA for example, but you still need at least one legal responsible person to be domiciled.
A combination of things. My concerns are usually dismissed. When shit I predict actually happens there is no credit or even acknowledgement. At times I don't feel respected and when I raise it it is equally dismissed with a "grow up" attitude. While technically I am probably amongst the best devs around the bosses tried to manage me into a test position (sugar coated as test lead) in order to bring in an older acquaintance of them in my position. Finally even though nobody told me so there is some travelling that is mandated (because they are insecure and they want to show up as much as possible to their bosses). This kind of thinking permeates them and is the reason why my concerns are dismissed (if we complain we will look bad so stop complaining and cheer up).

Pulling back the camera a bit, this question astounds me. I guess I'm finding it very very odd the extent to which people don't understand (or better, remember) that the hackers most always win here, and those wins are nearly always a good thing. It's true that the companies end up rerouting and finding other ways to preserve profits (and subsequently get real quiet about these defeats) but for me the recent history of tech is about wins like this.

Aren't EMI options basically a scam? I never understood why company cannot just give an employee real shares.
I was at a start up a couple of years ago and was promised these. Basically every month CEO had a new excuse that HMRC this or HMRC that. After a year and a half I decided to leave, because I understood I would never get any of that.
Now when I see company offering EMI shares it is a clear red flag for me.
E.g. if you offer £50k in EMI shares just pay a lump sum instead and I can put this on my ISA tracking fund or just give real shares in the company.

I would advise you to read up on the history of the advice ADA has been giving throughout the years (spoiler alert: they were wrong about fats and complex carbohydrates) before putting your money in that basket that this is the "general scientific consensus".
