I own a cargo bike and regularly use it in bad weather to go to the supermarket and get a full load of groceries. Works great, much more fun and a better workout than a car. Invest in a good jacket and the cold/rain won't bother you.
As someone who has used both, that's not entirely off-base, though the details are very different: AHK is better at lower-level keyboard remapping and related I/O — you really need to combine BTT with something like Karabiner-Elements for more than rough equivalence here — but BTT is much better than AHK for out-of-box support for non-keyboard event triggers, with native support for mouse button-press events[1], trackpad and Magic Mouse gestures, touch bar, Siri remote, MIDI messages, hot corners, BT LE proximity events, all manner of system events (battery status, lock/unlock, Apple Events, distributed notifications, etc.), scheduled and recurring timer events, and the list goes on.

[1] Including support for all buttons on n-button mice for all values of n supported by USB standards, something that, last I checked, Windows itself was incapable of handling at the driver level without dropping down to low-level HID event processing that's a bit of a stretch, though not technically impossible, for AHK.

This, incidentally, is why many-buttoned Logitech gaming mice come preconfigured to send keyboard events for all but the first few buttons.
Here is why: I still have people I can't send Zelle payments to because they bank with some random credit union. I can ACH anyone. ACH is managed through the "partisan" Federal Reserve.

Also, not sure if you're aware of the irony of your statement on no government involvement. Zelle originated at Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo in 2011. Three of the largest recipients of bailout funds after the 2008 financial crisis. So, technically, Zelle wouldn't exist without government involvement.

That’s possible, but my gut feeling is that this turns out to the the same as the DARPA grand challenge moment for self driving cars.

It was an absolutely amazing accomplishment. I legitimately thought I could hold out long enough that my next car would be fully self driving. Truckers were an endangered species.

But here we are 20 years later, and we’re still almost there.

We’ve made amazing progress and I love the self driving features I do have on my car, but how many jobs have been replaced by self driving cars?

Isn't that up to them? I mean the Ukrainians? It's not as if the west is forcing them against their will to keep on fighting for their country and freedom.

In the first months of the war hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians returned to their country to sign up to fight. We either support them, or abandon them to their fate. I don't see how you can credibly claim that abandoning them, despite their appeals for support, is better for them and in their interests. It's clearly in the interests of the Russian government, but why should the west care about that?

Sending UN peace keepers is a nice idea, but unfortunately Russia is a permanent member of the UN security council, with a veto.
I care because, as a rational agent (or at least someone who aims to be), group-think affects me negatively when the group develops a dominant ideology which risks to infringe on my personal rights or take away opportunities from me sooner or later. I also believe that these dominant ideologies are harmful to the group and most of its honest/rational members.

It's important that members of the group keep an open mind so that the group doesn't become dogmatic. That's why I try to make contrarian arguments.
For me, it was good to see that the person who started the start up I worked at was just a normal guy. He hired this CTO though that was amazing to work with.

Unfortunately, my impostor syndrome (along with my inexperience) became quite crippling and I had to leave.

Looking back, I probably should have left sooner or been comfortable with standing up for myself.

Lol, no.

Market forces created an economy which made everyone rich including the government which could then afford to spend a very large amount of money on one project, which also wouldn't have worked without the skills people acquired and the products that were created in the market economy.

There is a vast academic literature on the topic if you are truly interested. Here is just one such study [0].

The argument is in any case very simple. In countries where unions were historically powerful, especially in the post-war period, workers have collectively extracted several concessions, such as higher pay, better working hours and paid leave.

In the United States itself, it is a demonstrable fact that unionized workers earn, on average, much better than nonunion ones, among other benefits [1].

In France the right to strike is in the Constitution, so you can't waive it with a contract.

But I'm a bit baffled that not going to overtime is qualified as a strike, they are doing their normal hours, they are not locking the jobsite, and the management has the opportunity to hire more people or call a temp agency, which I guess a vote for a strike would prevent. I'm not very familiar with the anglo striking procedures, here it's an individual choice, it's the other side of being a constitutional right.
It slightly changes frequency randomly on every zero crossing of the input frequency, so 100Hz FSK modulation effectively. It is enough to slow down your bluetooth and wifi when the door is closed and the radiated power is fully legal (<0.1W IIRC), so the effect should be amplified a lot when the door is open. Long distance flight is already getting close to the limits of what signal integrity you can get, so even a few miliwatts at the drone might be enough to disable the communications with it.

I too would really like to know, and try it too, but getting permission for 800W transmission would be a pain.
We have a "Founders Program" for people that know they want to start a company in the next few years. I think it's better to have full transparency on both sides:

As the company: You get highly motivated, amazing talent

As the employee / future founder: You make your intention clear to leave in x months to start your own thing and can openly discuss strategy for your company with the current founders instead of hiding your side projects.

I took this idea from Mighty / Supabase.

Application process is simple, pitch me at mike@luabase.com. Tell me what you want to do to grow Luabase and what you're thinking of doing for your company.

Ask HN: Are you a designer learning coding?
Are you a visual designer or UX designer learning coding? Interested to hear your reasons for learning programming.

Is it one of the following reasons (or a combination)?

- Build your own product (i.e. learn programming so you won't have to rely on other delevlopers).

- Learn coding to add another skill to your toolbox, but not looking to becoming a full-time developer.

- Learning to understand the techology or the language of developers, but not looking to change your design role.

- Learning programming to become a full-time developer (change career).

Note: This question isn't related to current discussions about AI-generated images, but feel free to add any thoughts on the impact of AI on design.
Wow, this is incredible. AI tech has been so interesting to follow along lately.

Is there something like an index of cool new AI projects that is easy to follow? HN works for this to an extent but I’d love to track more closely.
Depends, if you signed a contract that mentions doing voluntary shifts, but then collectively say no, I think it is.
>I live in a city where it’s normal to go shopping every 1-2 days

>It’s not as inconvenient as it sounds because there is usually a grocery store within walking and definitely one within biking distance.

I've lived exactly what you are describing and I would not go back to it given the option.

There's a pretty substantial opportunity cost difference between shopping weekly and shopping every couple days. That's time you could spend doing other things you actually want to do. And if the store that's on your way is in a prime location then there is probably a monetary cost too.

Edit: Since I'm apparently wrong would anyone care to point out my error?
There's two approaches to this:
- my company has a formally-structured approach to training / knowledge gathering
- my company provides me the ability to independently structure my process of inquiry without interference or external management

The second often morphs into or informs the first.

No, apparently we just massively underestimate how important studying the humanities is.
This is illustration, not art. I'm flabbergasted how many people are so quick to confuse or conflate the two.
Why should "perform" be a message? It's just a method of the Object class, which is the superclass of Integer. You can use my St80ClassBrowser and St80ImageViewer (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Smalltalk/) to check the ST-80 source code and image if you want; there is a list of all selectors (i.e. method signatures) and the classes which implement them. Going up the class hierarchy when doing virtual method dispatch is a fundamental concept of all object-oriented implementations; in contrast to e.g. C++ this can be done dynamically at runtime in Smalltalk or Java (which is also called late binding). In contrast to Smalltalk in Java the class loader verifies that a method for the referenced signature actually exists; in Smalltalk you can try to dispatch any signature which can result in a call to the doesNotUnderstand method of the Object class; the same could also be achieved in Java with a custom class loader, but usually you want to avoid it.
I just want to say thanks for taking the innitiative and setting it up. Although I'm not in london I would've gone if I was nearby. YC just did an official one near me in Boston and there seemed to be lots of enthusiasm.

I don't venture too far on the internet, but the only thing like a cult of personality around Musk I've seen is the anti-Musk cult going on and on about how he is a "garbage human", he's a fraud, not a real engineer, and how annoying his cult followers are, when it comes to any vaguely related topic.

This story for example, of the comments where Musk is first mentioned in a thread, 3 (including the dead one) are anti-Musk, and 1 is neutral (using Musk as shorthand for Musk's businesses), and zero are positive. Nothing rabidly pro-Musk.

So I rather think stories like this are being upvoted because people like hearing about travel, internet and comms, rockets, satellites, and the like. I don't think it's very charitable to think it's only due to some vapid Musk fan club.
I assume you attended a language school for a reason. Leverage that to find development work where a company maybe has a presence of developers that use that language but the main company uses a diff language for primary communication, like English.

Two and half years isn't much experience so expect some employers thinking you would be like a fresh employee. Try to have your CV demonstrate it wasn't 2.5 years of repeating the same work pattern (aka 6mo experience 5 times).

You could also start coding by contributing to open source in whatever realm of software development you have experience in.

sorry for not responding earlier..... my initial question still remains.

there is a "The benefits of moving from Muon to Chromium" so if you replace the word chromium with firefox, do you think any line would be wrong or a lie?

extensions are available in firefox just as easily so that sounds like a lame excuse.
The headline is a bit misleading.
Anecdotal warning about Curcumin (aka turmeric):

A good friend of mine is a cancer researcher who works in research as well as with clinicians at a famous institute. He told me about a case where one patient wasn’t responding to a novel and highly specific immunotherapy in a situation where they expected it to work well. They analyzed her cells and saw little activity fighting the cancer. It turns out she on her own was taking very high doses of Curcumin due to the generic advice that it’s good for you. It actually suppressed her immune system. Once she stopped she responded well to the treatment.

The lesson: taking supplements that you believe will have a meaningful impact on your body can do powerful things you don’t anticipate or appreciate the consequences thereof.

I do see people enjoying the convenience of bikes all over winter. Where I shop families do their weekly groceries with cargo bikes or just two bike bags.

We got different experiences, probably live in different cities and countries and now? Both of them are just singular experiences strongly depending on the specific circumstances of our lives and of the concrete available good infrastructure.

Most successful startup founder I know is north of 60. He's been at it a decade.

He recently got handed multiple billions to expand from 500 HC. Secret ingredient: two decades at Mckinsey.

I would suggest joining even smaller than 40 if you can, although that’s not bad. I had joined a 250 person startup before founding my first company and I can say confidently I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and I think the experience would have helped.

Either way you’re going to be figuring out a lot of stuff on your own, but I think I would have recognised that earlier and would have had a little more practice.

My experience at a few startups does not align but I support the overall thesis.

More than one startup talked a big game in hiring about the product, the customers and the culture only to be more of a cult of personality where decisions were made in private between cofounders despite being an "open" company, unequal pay despite "transparent" salaries with bands, a lack of managerial skills or care for personnel management (once told not to bring my feelings to work) and in almost every single instance a technical founder or early engineer that cannot or will not share work by delegating.

The most important things I have learned have absolutely came from being involved with startups and 90% are what NOT to do.

The good thing is I identified what I love:

"Devops" and adding automation and structure to processes very early. Everyone thinks is has to get in the way or will slow them down. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

Building people is was more fun than building tech but you have to be on top of your hiring game early on. And you have to be willing to share and trust.

You have to ship. But that doesnt mean you dont invest in yourself. If you have money for 100 days then build for 100 days. If you have money for 2 years then build for 2 years. This means making that investment in your tools and your process.

Lastly, if you are B2B, buy a SOC2-in-a-box and get it over with and use something like auth0 or workos and just be ready with SSO integrations. Dont put off the foundational tablestakes of doing business with other tech companies.

I think the problem is that some, or even many, would have volunteered if not for the circulated letter. By collectively influencing each others' choices, rather than letting people choose individually without consideration from the union, the court ruled that this is essentially a union strike, especially since it had a purpose of trying to get benefits from the employer.

And that could have been fine, but if I understand the article correctly, the problem is that there wasn't a vote on this action within the union. If it would have been voted on and formally taken as a union action, they would have been acting legally. But without the formal vote, it is an illegal strike according to the region's labor laws.
I think it depends on what exactly you mean with it all. Upholding international law was most likely in his best interests, with Russia in its weak state this was probably the best option to stay relevant and have influence. If you mean that he believed that upholding international law is the right thing to do independent of Russia situation, that is something I can not say. Maybe someone who really studied Putin could make an educated guess at this.
Is that supposed to be an actual argument?

I think these programmes are awesome!

We have a few people who are explicitly at incident.io to gain experience of how to build companies. It may be that they won't go to do this, but their time here will put them in a great position to do so, if they ever want to.

I've seen some companies who have a standing offer to angel invest in your start-up too, though I was never sure how I felt about that.
> Over a few decades the availability of cars naturally destroys the usefulness of other modes of transportation unless there is active effort to prevent these effects.

That is simply not true. The car isn't some inherently superior mode of transportation. People will use whatever infrastructure a city invests into most. If you build a city where all the infrastructure budget is spent on cars, then is it any surprise people will use their car to get everywhere?

Once you force people to use cars to get anywhere, then of course that kills local shops, but that didn't happen simply because of the availability of cars. It happened because the city stopped investing into any infrastructure that's not designed for the car.
This was a great read, thanks.
That's a super cool program, props to you for actually putting it in place! I guess the next step is to also have a small internal vc mechanism (or partnership with a vc firm) that gives the first check to people who join? I know that'd be a huge plus for me just as an option for something I could potentially rotate to in the future if I was thinking of joining a new co, it definitely sends a strong pro-entrepreneurial signal regardless of whether you're founding something or not.

I had a 20” Sony PVM (20M4E) for a few years for retro games. Playing anything intended for analogue video was an absolute joy. The characteristics of the display were factored into the creation of the art in a fascinating way (and sometimes even the characteristics of the display signal, like the transparency effects in Sonic the Hedgehog that only work over composite video).

I ended up selling it due to space and practicality concerns, plus some of the corner geometry was starting to drift in a way that would need physical adjustments to the tube to correct. I used the money to buy a RetroTink 5X scaler; it’s not the same by any stretch, but it’s a best-in-class scaler so at least I’m not adding a ton of latency and visual artefacts to the process.

I find it remarkable how much display tech can affect our perception of what is essentially the same image, and how this manifests with different types of content. It’s not even just legacy stuff—OLEDs have very different motion characteristics to LCDs due to the pixel response time, for example.
