I don't think any story starts with hitting it big on TechCrunch, HN, or Product Hunt.

For one thing there is a lot of blood, sweat and tears involved in getting your product ready to show.

On the other hand I think a lot of people don't have respect for how much work marketing is. Back when I was the PR director for the college radio station at a small college I would put up hundreds of signs to advertise a dance. We went from having a handful of people show up to having a huge crowd. My posters were part of it but we also had better DJs than me (people would boo when I took over the board) who could rock the crowd and get a good reputation that would keep people coming.

A lot of people bet it all on one marketing channel but that's not how you succeed.
If so, that might be the first thing software simplified.

Made easier or faster? Sure. Made a profitable wedge into some existing business (a.k.a. disrupted)? Absolutely!

But adding layers of complicated stuff only experts understand rarely makes anything simpler.

I'm almost at this point as well. Using the Not Interested and other tips helps but it's not long before the stuff rolls in not remotely matching my interests.
Finally, the underserved market of Atherton/Palo Alto SFH owners looking to add an ADU for their live-in nanny or young adult child have an off the shelf solution, inspired by the LinkedIn Sunnyvale campus.
Copy the url for the subscription page and add it as a new search engine with a shortcut like "y" if you are using Chrome or a Chrome based browser.

Then you can just go to the address bar and type y + enter.

A fast way of getting to the address bar is CTRL + L (CMD + L on mac).
Look, it's simple:

The code execution is locked down with a private key that only Apple has.

Apple can therefore sign any executable for any iDevice that exists, and it will run without issues. They could make a completely new bootloader/OS combo from scratch while mantaining compatibility with the hardware.

The bar is then: "Is it technically and officially possible for Apple to install any OS/bootloader that's compatible with the iPhone hardware?" The answer to that is yes, it is.

So, if it is possible for Apple to do so (by them having the private key used to sign the OS images) even after they sell it to me, then it should be legally mandated for me to have the same level of official posibility to do the same via the same means.
Not too different from using Google Forms to create a form anybody can fill out, and then buying search ads to get people to fill it out, is it now?
My last home cost its architect roughly $750/sq ft to custom build ... in 1990.

There's a lot of variability in how to build.

No idea how this is built; just noting.
I don’t mean this to be rude, but that’s how complete sentences work. Sometimes they’re internally inconsistent, but when you reach the full stop you’ve hopefully arrived at a coherent view of what the speaker intended to express. I know with this one that I did, even when I noted the same inconsistency. It seems you did too, but got hung up mid-sentence anyway. Maybe just be glad you understand what they meant to say?
There's a monthly "Who Wants to Be Hired?" thread here on HN, e.g.for Sept. 2022[0], that gets posted at the beginning of the month. Perhaps she should post on those threads?

No, it affects visitors of “Cloudflare hosted sites”. It also affects all sites not hosted by CloudFlare.

You are complaining about the use of IP as an imperfect signal. Everyone involved knows that. But it’s still better than the current alternatives.
I've been using Migadu without trouble. I used Protonmail before, but I didn't like the hoops I had to jump through if I wanted to use POP3/IMAP. They do have a bridge daemon thing where you can sign into protonmail and it exposes POP3/IMAP locally but it's not available for phone OSes. I could set up a VPN or something, but that's more hoops than I wanted to jump through.
I must be doing it in my sleep, because I'm sure not doing it when I'm awake.

Its a mindflip to me to imagine wanton anti-caring like this. Literally just make an incredibly smallley modestly better choice to serve yourself & each other better. Why not pick a good option? Why go through the trouble then be like, fuck it, Ill pick a shitty option? I dont get the anti-progressive pro-shitty attitude. But it sure seems popular & well represented! Blast us all!

Amusing but silly. They are obviously lying.

You can’t seriously believe they are afraid of naming an Apple Store. If the store existed and they named it, then I’d look like a complete asshole.
I guess that's your opinion. I'm not seeing the same thing though. And how must it feel as a dev on a game when marketing gets 4x your budget?
you have to produce the photons as well, the particle flux is likely extremely small with those devices so you may need a gigantic power input. Remember that a proton is almost 2,000 times heavier than an electron.
I like PG and his essays. And I followed him on twitter also. While I really admire him but no one is perfect including PG. What I notice is that he always stubbornly believe he is right on all things he believe and look down on others who have a different opinion. I think PG should reflect on himself, if he believes he is right on all things all the time, then it is probably objectively not true. This is the smart people trap. They are right a lot of the times and that make them too errogant.
They are sort of recommending 100 videos to everyone.
In my circle, a lot of people I know have very different interests than me. Yet, whenever I recommend a video to a friend, they often say it was already in their recommendations.

They might be pushing videos or topics that advertisers are more willing to pay for.
Turnkey: “45 million Americans have no credit history.”

Almost entirely children.

There were 73 million children in the U.S. in 2019—22 percent of our nation's population.
>If they serve you bad videos, you stop.

Actually this is false. It’s a bit counter-intuitive, I know, but it has long been known in the field of psychology that a variable reward system works significantly better than consistent rewards or consistent punishment. The reality is that a mixture of bad, mediocre, and occasionally good recommendations is the most likely to keep you on the site for the longest.

See: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27353633/ (or Google “variable reward schedules” and take your pick of a publication you trust)
Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: In order to obtain power? Hell yes!

I should note, lest anyone think I’m taking sides, that it is not overly difficult to follow US news closely enough to know that there are cheaters and creeps of all sorts trying to subvert elections and the law. It’s a rainbow of representation. All sorts of jerks are breaking and bending all sorts of laws and norms.

All y’all need an apolitical electoral commission, like Australia or Canada (and probably others) have. Heck, invite them over to run the next federal election.
> how does one figure out what services are actually needed when the service adviser comes to you with a list of issues?

As a basic set of rules:

a) say no to everything.

b) look at the service intervals in the book (or what the maintenance minder in the car says).

c) ask them if the factory service plan would cover it

d) ask them if it's critical to safety, and if so, explain what would happen if you didn't do it, how you would notice it was an issue, and how you should respond while it's happening on the road.

e) as soon as you run out of factory service, and maybe factory warranty, use an independent mechanic

Now, sometimes the factory service intervals are wrong, and sometimes there's stuff you probably should do that the factory doesn't say to do ever; but for the most part, the factory schedule is a good baseline, and dealer service wants to do extra frivolous stuff. Some independents do too, I have never seen a next oil change sticker printed with factory intervals.
Logically if you want to rip out work from the client you would put more work into the backend? I don't understand what you're getting at.

CRUD may be fast on the server side, but if the client is performing a complex workflow of CRUD calls, you're incurring the round-trip network cost each time. The more you can coalesce the workflow on the server side, the lower round-trip network costs you'll incur, which is the real bottleneck here (10ms server processing time vs a wild range of 10ms-1000+ms network latency, depending on where you are/what you're on).
Yes.

But can somebody help me understand? Flexport seems to be a 3PL (third party logistics) company marketing itself as a software company. There are literally thousands of 3PL companies though. What's the difference between Flexport and say DHL/DSV/UPS/Geodis Wilson/Toll/Yusen/<insert your local 3PL provider>, other than snappy marketing and a position in YCombinator?

For comparison. There are software companies that provide software to many 3PL companies, and don't do any actual 3PL themselves.
In the past, it was aluminum smelting pots, which can't go cold or they take a huge amount of effort to spin up again. They built huge dams just for this [0].

When those plants shut down, the power, which was transmitted directly to the plants, had nowhere to go. Sending it somewhere else requires building high voltage transmission towers, which is very expensive to build as well as maintain.

Coinmint [1] took over the old Alcoa plant and is now pulling power from that dam. As it was explained to me by the head electrician when I visited, Coinmint is doing the dam a favor by having a constant draw of power to replace what was once the smelters. They also are paying for the electricity, which helps with maintenance of the dam, which is effectively a national resource.

No kidding -> I am a beta tester for Whatsapp on Android (I don't really do anything much nowadays but some years ago I wrote a feature request for it that there should be a way for a small business to communicate with it's users (my parents own a small business). A couple of years later, Facebook rolled out a Whatsapp for Businesses API. So you maybe have me to thank for this

I am not sure what is defined as "financial success," since it appears to be something one can be born into regardless of IQ.

In regards to income, I briefly skimmed the Wikipedia section for IQ and Income, which can be found here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient#Income

"Highly correlated" would not be the choice of words I use to describe correlations between (0.23 - 0.5).

We, as people, should cherish the contributions of one's intelligence instead of obsessing over an arbitrary, qualitative value painted as a qualitative value like one's potential intelligence.
I recently started working on a project with typescript for the first time. I have been astounded by how often my code works the first time I try it because so much is caught by the typing system. I know what I want my code to do, how it should do it, and that it does work - my errors are almost all from mistyping things.

Massive productivity boost, and I have a kind of confidence in my code that I never have had before, not having used a strongly typed language before.
Thank you for taking a look, and many thanks for your constructive comments. I found the BLC language and interpreter to be elegant and that was what brought me here.

I was unaware of the nil-test-free method for Scott-encoded lists. It's true that it would remove a lot of bits from LambdaLisp's implementation. I'll also be using this for future projects. I was also unaware of Melvin Zhang's interpreter. I suspect that result sharing would improve the execution speed. I'll try to add that in one of the supported interpreters in the repository. Thank you very much for thoroughly reading my post and pointing these facts out. It has deepened my understanding and interest for binary lambda calculus.

I also want to say that Lazy K is one of my all-time favorite languages, as I mentioned in the post. It was about 10 years ago when I first found out about Lazy K - at that time I wrote a blog post about a language I made that directly transpiles to Lazy K (written in Japanese). Although at that time I couldn't fully grasp the language, I'm happy that now I could write large programs for Lazy K. I was thrilled to find that the Lazy K language proposal was now published on your website.
Sure. Other types of energy plants burn. This might be the only one for which Elon Musk has culpability, though.
I love paying for content like that (when the content is good of course). It’s one of the few mediums where some creators allow me to be in control of how they monetize my viewership.

It drives me crazy that on YouTube I pay for premium and still need to sidestep ads. It makes sense; the creators don’t get paid directly from my membership and if they did it would be fractions of pennies. But that’s the problem; I want to support them directly. The platform is nice, but it’s mostly fungible. The excellent content often isn’t.

I think an hour+ podcast is absolutely valuable. Some are incredibly thoughtful and well-produced. I hope more podcasters adopt this model!
They are designed essentially by a committee. What others said about security,anti-*,obfuscation can apply to lighter apps as well.

These apps reflect the complexities of the organization. Each sub feature can have an entirely different stakeholder and not being a tech-first company means outsourcing to a an army of devs that will pile on code for more profit or internal devs who will pile on code upon code back and forth because the stakeholder's vision is rarely is communicated accurately or efficiently to whoever writes the code. And then that work has to go through security, qa,marketing,etc.... back and forth. Essentially, it will probably feel like a miracle that they managed to make a functioning app if you're used to tech-first companies.
Seems you're not familiar with recent advances. GraphQL servers have the ability to collate requests together and only redo a query when data changes instead of "whenever they want" because the client and server know exactly what data is used for which component.

This video describes how this is done in Relay but it can exist in other servers too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT3XKDBZW7M

Search is entirely crippled for new stories now. If I saw some breaking news on Twitter I used to pop over to Youtube to find original or better footage than news services were getting, or to get it faster. Impossible via YT's search now, it's just pages and pages of old-media channels with their thoughts on the footage, always clipped down and talked over. Even Twitter seems to do this now, it's becoming harder to find stuff that doesn't have a large slathering of approved views slathered over the top.
The point is, calling it zero-tolerance when it's not is misleading. There's a perfectly fine way to describe zero-tolerance with exceptions, and it's not even far fetched: “low tolerance”.

Complete sentences may make it possible to pretend bad wording is consistent, but that doesn't make it good wording.
Not an answer to your question, but an indicator of shared culture: Tesla vehicles also don’t support IPv6 whatsoever.

Things you might use an internet connection for in your Tesla include triggering air con remotely, live traffic and satellite maps, streaming music or online radio, web browsing, or YouTube/Netflix/Disney+ clients.

It completely refuses to use IPv6 over mobile or wi-fi. Also it refuses to access anything over IPv4 (apart from DNS) which resolves to an RFC1918 address, even if it's connected to said RFC1918 network.

So yes, Starlink and Tesla are different companies, but I see cultural parallels which I'm sure surprises nobody.
This may not be Elon's fault. Maybe Li-Ion batteries for grid storage just aren't there yet. The facility next door to the PG&E/Tesla one had problems several months ago.

Some mix of politics, management, and prioritization, in practice, when I've seen it. (It's often hard to fully separate those three things.)

Consider an app that has a TV interface, a desktop interface, and a phone interface. The UI might be very different on each. You might want different art at different sizes/aspect ratios for different interfaces (consider different ways of browsing content on a streaming media service, including potentially "live TV guide" views and/or series-vs-show-level navigation). You might iterate on those interfaces at different rates - it's easier to release to the web than to mobile, and it's a LOT easier to release there than to, say, Samsung TVs.

So either distinct sets of APIs for each, or some sort of graphql-style "get just what you ask for" open-ended API contract becomes necessary.

The former is often easier to optimize for performance if you don't truly need unlimited permutations, but just a handful of them.

Nothing here is impossible to do out of a single API gateway, but you're likely run into some problems over time:

* at a certain number of people, a single team working in a single codebase often steps on each other's feet more than is productive

* at a certain feature complexity, the API gateway becomes much more "custom logic for each device" than "shared aggregation of stuff from individual backends"

* at a certain company/product organization/roadmap size, trying to sequence and deliver priorities for three competing client teams at the same time becomes tricky

Splitting up the teams to each focus on different clients lets you accomplish organizational resource splitting at a higher level (how much do we staff these teams) than stakeholders having to jockey for prioritization on every single feature.

Once the teams are split up, splitting up the codebases and deployables makes sense too - if you're responsible for the mobile API, you don't want to be paged because the TV team pushed something that screwed up your crap, etc. You can do finer-grained optimizations at that point, too.
hehe shutting it down because it couldn't compete and it was never profitable is an interesting measure of "successful" even for these c-suite types that love re-branding abject failure as success. I guess you're right. That's what they'd have to do for their egos as they cry into their money... :S

China produces 80% of lithium batteries and uses a lot of coal while doing it. Are they going to levy a proportional tax on import? Or they going to facilitate changes to encourage more domestically produced batteries?

As recent as a year ago German politicians were trying to convince that natural gas(from Russia) is a relatively clean energy. Germany was invested in Nord Stream 2 and looks like wanted to be a gatekeeper of Russian gas to Europe. Now Europe is facing a painful reconciliation with reality, that they will have to either hurt their economy, freeze a little their population in the upcoming winter, which is gonna cost them politically or sleep with the devil.

This probably more of a personal bias/preference than a rational decision. I prefer emacs as my editor and use VSCode only for its stellar Typescript integration. When I started game dev back in 2020, I tried rider and really liked it for these reasons:

- I found the Unity integration reliable and seamless.
- The local history extension saved me quite a few times (since then I've discovered that vscode has a local history extension, but I find the rider version being better integrated).
- I liked the rider debugger a lot.

I don't think I gave VSCode as a Unity Companion editor a fair chance to usefully answer this question.
