Primates have been cloned [1], human embryos have been cloned (supposedly) [2], and there are confirmed gene edited babies [3]. But, I doubt the existence of a ban means humans haven't been cloned, because I have trouble believing that a group that would successfully clone a human would be dumb enough to tell the world, state sponsored or not.

None of these ring true.

The actual reasons: lack of purpose and strategy, combined with permanent record.

A resource is only worth as much as it is requested. No readers? No updates. A personal website: if you are not looking for a job, you won't update it. A blog: if you have nowhere to passively promo your website (no twitter followers, no youtube subscribers, no newsletter readers, and you are not otherwise famous) then you must either actively promote it on HN/Reddit (takes a certain mindset) or again you won't update it (a strategy where you write first and then promote might help but target payoff must be so good to outweigh that, and again certain mindset).

You'd ask why not just practice around, write stuff knowing no one will read it? Permanent record. Screw up once on your personal domain and 98% of the time it's OK but 2% that's it for life.

Linkkraft is an offline-first browser that helps you process large amount of tabs when you're trying to extract useful pieces from them.

Problem known as tab clutter/ tab overload.

How does linkkraft help?

1. It saves (locally) history as a graph where your movements interconnected. New movement is new entry. Linkraft visualizes the graph as a tree instead of tabs.

2. Linkkraft creates snapshot of page state for each step (DOM/text/styles/fonts, removes js). That works for usual pages and SPA (like twitter)

There is GC for such snapshots and limitations. So, you don't have to worry about removing not necessary snapshots.

Tree & snapshots complement each other. You don't have to deal with finding html snapshot in your downloads. Snapshots are integrated in the trails tree. When you open snapshot, you will get all context.

Currently, I'm researching for product market fit and for first 10 paying customers. Going to ask $15 per month for that.

(Eventually it will be a tool for hypertext collecting, note-taking, thinking)

Not boxing floating-point values on the heap can be a big deal.

I retrofitted NaN boxing into a production Lisp implementation literally in one evening and morning, with minimal impact to all the existing code in the implementation that is built around the pointer tagging scheme that existed for 13 years. It's nicely delimited with #if CONFIG_NAN_BOXING.

Accumulator-incrementing loop on pointer tagging:

This is the TXR Lisp interactive listener of TXR 281.
Quit with :quit or Ctrl-D on an empty line. Ctrl-X ? for cheatsheet.

This is not native code. The difference would be more emphasized in native code.

However, code that doesn't do floating-point calculation (or even some that does) will see a small performance penalty due to the more complex access to all values. That is a bummer.

At least users can choose; if you don't care about floating-point, build it with pointer tagging.
I do! I started earning real money after I created the first monitor control app for Apple Silicon (https://lunar.fyi).

I wrote about my journey to doing that here: https://alinpanaitiu.com/blog/journey-to-ddc-on-m1-macs/

I quit my job in April 2020 and nowadays I make desktop apps on https://lowtechguys.com/

Each app brings about $200/month in revenue at the start, then ramps up as I work on user feedback and telling people about the apps in whichever way I can.

For example rcmd (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd) just reached $1.5k/month because it has a more complete feature set than it had in v1 and because more people are recommended it to their peers.

Ah. The new definition of standards I see. The only thing that matters is how long it's been in development. Not the checks notes reality and the actual standards track.

I thought long and hard about this, but when I realized that the USGA, itself, has incorrect data more often than not, I realized that letting the people who love the course add the data is going to be better in the long run.
revenue always matters, it's how you know market share, it's how you know margins, etc. etc.
It's completely permissionless. Grab an open source core, tweak it how you like, and move into production. No one will ask you to sign a licensing agreement or pay any license fees.

Depending on what you're doing this may or may not be an advantage, but it's certainly a large difference from Arm. It could lead to innovation happening more quickly since there's no need to wait for a gatekeeper, it's unclear at the moment how much that matters.

This is usually when you're on company time with company assets. If you're at home/coffee shop and off the clock and on your assets/pc its your IP.

Do you have a contract with current employer that has this specific language? I would understand a term for a non-compete agreement, but what you're saying does not sound right/legal from my perspective.

Do it!

It might take 6 months, a year or longer to make a profit. Can you afford that? Do you have other revenue streams? Does your current employer contract bind you to any terms if you quit?

Questions I don't need to know, but you should.

Good luck!

Same for me, I write to get my concepts and ideas ordered and polished. I think it is important to communicate with the public, even if you get no responses. 99% of users only read, 1% reply - still, you have an impact on both groups. Confirmation is really not necessary (and confirmation may also have a negative influence on behavior and incentives, see how Instagram affects motivations to share pictures).

Yes. Key word: experiment

Ah yes. Disconnected from reality in which... a standard is not a standard until all parties agree on it, and there are at least two independent implementations before the standard is considered safe to move from experimentation stage.

No-no. We live in a new reality where Google couldn't care less about the process and release features with full disregard of any of that.

I used the Command pattern in LibreOffice to create a “filter” for animations and bitmaps.

I created a BitmapFilter class [1] it just has an execute abstract function which you override to create your own objects.

For convenience I created a static Filter function that takes a command object and then executes it to return a bitmap.

It means I never have to modify the Bitmap or BitmapEx classes to implement functions that modify the bitmap. Just derive from BitmapFilter’s class and you are up and running!

How long will it take to change the implementation when/if it does?

I've seen far too much "future proofing" that makes the present worse, for a future that might never even happen.

Right, but they had the exact coordinates of that F-35 that fell off the carrier into the Med, which is a far shallower sea, and it still took weeks to find it.

I'd like to see them succeed, but it's just too unlikely they will find anything. Might get a few detailed undersea maps out of the effort though, but that's about it.

What makes you believe that? IMO, the immutability and pattern matching eliminate a huge class of common frustrations that beginners usually have with the most popular half dozen programming languages.

I think all of them, especially JavaScript, PHP and C are harder to learn than Elixir, unless you already know another similar language.

There's probably something in all of these methods but everybody is different. I don't know if actual pen and paper is required, perhaps typing is just as good. The benefit of typing is that the data is preserved in a useful format. If I write it out simply to learn it, what do I do with the paper? Crumple it up and throw it out?

My process is to open about 20 browser tabs on a subject and cull them off one by one as I create flashcards from the information (process it, write bite-sized chunks in my own words). I learn via flashcards for about 15 minutes per day for a while. Nothing strenuous. That cements the 10,000ft view into my head before trying trying the hands-on stuff, so that I don't give up out of frustration. From there I try to use the information for real.

You're optimizing for revenue/chance of success, not for the creation itself, which most world-class indie games are optimizing for (e.g. stardew valley, dwarf fortress, celeste, hollow knight, etc).

Also, building a million simple mobile games will not magically compound into making you a great complex/deep game builder.

Not trying to say your strategy is wrong, I just don't agree with your strategy if someone's goal is to build the game they have in mind, exactly like they have it in their mind (assuming it's more than a simple mobile game). It will help in terms of general "steps" to have built a couple simple games before sure, but that's about it.
Indeed. At this point if I'm building an app, I don't want surprises in the technology side. If I hit a problem, I'm more likely to find a solution had I used Postgres than had I used the database du jour, SurrealDB in this case. I'd much rather go through composing building blocks together (Apollo GraphQL with Postgres) than depending on one tool to do them all well, because if one part sucks, at least I can swap it out.
