A degree is something that a person who conforms to the norms aspires to. Nothing wrong with that, I have a PhD. I got it in the middle of the dot com boom. It's a nice conversation piece but otherwise has zero relevance to what I do. Instead of getting rid in one of the bubble companies or taking a fat salary solving the y2k problem for some boring consulting company, I went off and did research.

Then I pivoted to become a software engineer, and I went back to doing research at an industrial research institute. And via a brief stint doing some more software development I ended up being a startup entrepreneur in my late thirties. That was ten years ago.

In Germany where I live it's an almost automatic salary booster, which is nice except I don't get a salary because I'm a freelance consultant and a bootstrapped startup CTO (might get a salary out of that soon). It's what I did after I got my degree that enables me to charge premium rates when I'm freelancing.

Entrepreneurial mindset and straight career paths via some big name university are two things. One requires taking risk, the other is basically about risk averse careers. Big name universities, followed by big name companies and big title career paths. Again nothing wrong with that. But not a likely path for starting your own company, which is risky.

The Google web search infrastructure consists of dozens of different services hitting hundreds of different databases, most of which obviously contain PII. We're talking about layer upon layer of abstraction and refinement. Thinking that there's one 'algorithm' to be open-sourced which tackles one of the most sophisticated software problems we've ever concocted is a bit juvenile, IMO :)

Wouldn't work because you could complete the same trip via a range of different companies. So to keep track, you'd need to be tapping in/off each train so the operators could charge you accordingly. And then you'd never have an idea of what the price would be, as fares change according to how early you book and how busy the trains are.

I'm not saying it's a good system - it's a very bad one, having it split between so many companies is a mistake. But the London metro is not a good analogy since it is all one company.
> "Not too long ago, it was perfectly fine for people to turn up at your house unannounced, to pay you a visit, for no reason in particular other than to engage socially and you were expected to host them at your house (!)."

That very much differs with social class and location. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visiting_card for the elaborate social conventions which developed amongst the European and American aristocracy regarding visits to the home.

As implemented, the OV chipkaart has its own share of problems.

1. For railway travel, you need to top up a minimum balance of 20 € (okay, technically 16 €, because with an anonymous card you're allowed 4 € of credit), which is already a bit on the high side if you're only need to go a few stations by train and are only travelling occasionally.

2. Changing trains has become a bit more complicated, because if the change of trains also coincides with a change of the train operator you now always have to check out and back in again (and the check out/in procedure also potentially makes things more expensive than a true through ticket).

3. Certain offers (including e.g. reduced fares for children!) are only available with a personal chipkaart – for a long time those were impossible to obtain without a Dutch address of residence and/or bank account. These days they're also sold to residents of Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany, but you still have to order them in advance, and everybody else is still left out (e.g. somebody from Lille is actually closer to the Dutch border than somebody living in Munich, but only the latter is allowed to buy a personal chipkaart).
MSVC has /Ob1 [1] which only inlines specifically marked functions, or functions defined in a header. Shouldn't this inline all those trivial calls yet keep most debug info if you disable all the other optimizations? I haven't experimented with it yet *or what I rather mean is use Debug builds, but enable /Ob1 in them.

But the whole point is that the UX of the website is perfect. It has nothing to do with what the webapage is built on.

It could be built on PHP, it could be Java, it could be node, it could ASP.NET but if it's fast and with perfect UX like Mcmaster.com, what's the difference?

It is definitely possible to build such a website using all the mentioned languages, they have happened to have chosen ASP.NET and have done it well, but I wouldn't blindly throw everything else under the bus with such a comment.

And they aren't clear of "fancy web shenanigans" as well, they use socket.io and their website is unusable without Javascript so there's a lot of going on and this isn't your typical static website anyway.

So I think your sarcasm is a bit out of place in this instance.

And yes, I'm biased as I've been node.JS developer for a long time but I don't agree that the languages are the ones building shitty UX webpages that are slow... it's the developers that do that.

That's pretty clear. I start from "work should be financially incentivized" as evidenced by, well, the world around us. Then you argue that writing is very special (maybe a form of art, and many artists are hobbyists). To which I reply that while writing could be considered a form of art, the kind of books I read (and sometimes write) require hundreds of hours of work (that could be very satisfying, for sure). The enormous time investment means that you either get money for it in some way or you don't do as much of it as you'd want to, because you need to get a paying job to survive.
Well, technically there is another option: unionization.

I definitely don't come from a family of "particularly extroverted individuals" but when I was a teenager, about 10 years ago, in the UK, it was VERY common on the weekend for family members to randomly appear without calling ahead. Now it is totally unheard of

I think that people are blissfully unaware of how different things were before we gained the ability to instantly communicate across long distances at all times. Even those who lived through it have forgotten, or have no wish to go back (as you said, who wants random people to arrive? Not many people. But still, THEY DID)

A transcription streaming service would be nice. Think of a webhook but based on some streaming protocol (websocket?) instead of HTTP requests. I'm not aware of any commercial or free API that supports this.
Learned in therapy that I don't have to act on my feelings. You can feel mad/rage/sad/whatever without acting on it. Having a bad day? Just allow yourself to feel it. You don't have to run, punch a wall, drink alcohol, yell at someone, or whatever. As the feeling passes, get on with your life. It's also fair to ask yourself where those feelings are coming from in the first place, but that's a different lesson.
That's the wrong metric. Scrolling is less straining than moving eyes (or even the head in this case).

> It is physically painful for me to communicate with people.

I don't understand this. Are you autistic by any chance?
Of course. With the ease of communication we have, and considering we no longer have servants or a designated person in the family that is tasked with maintaining the house to a perfect standard at all times as their full time job, it goes without saying it's usually rude to try to do so. Not arguing we should go back to that.

I was attempting to drive the point that we've gone from "you can be interrupted at any moment when you're home in and be expected to host friends" from "I get severe anxiety if I get a phone call". Clearly there's a point in between, or do most people really like the hermit lifestyle? Even if some people in here are genuinely busy with hobbies, side projects or genuinely lead a busy life, most people I know that express this point of view are most definitely not doing anything remotely interesting with their free time.

The fact that extreme social isolation (either on purpose or not) is one of many factors that can lead to steep decline in mental health suggests that behaving like this is not good for us, yet a life of "do not talk to me ever, email me if you must" is always seen as the perfect end goal in most of these discussions.
> Oxford English Dictionary is a great resource.

Absolutely true, but difficult to get access from the US without a university affiliation.

However, it isn't obvious that the OED is a better source on the meaning of a classical Latin month name than a classical Roman is. It's certainly possible, but not close to a slam dunk. And the OED is appropriately hesitant to say that it knows the origin of the name.

I'd be curious when the entry was updated, except that I can imagine the entry for "May" being updated for quite a few other reasons than to review the etymology.

(I might as well note that Ovid also presents two theories for the name of June, one that it is named in honor of Juno and one that it is named in honor of either the goddess Youth [Iuventas] or youths [iuvenes] in general, forming a contrast with May. There appears to be no real distinction between honoring Youth or honoring youths, despite the fact that honoring Maiestas and honoring the maiores are explicitly presented as separate theories.

I would say the June-from-Juno theory is on much stronger ground than the May-from-Maia theory simply because Juno is so much more important a god, but that is also open to debate.)
On the other hand, 1974 is when the killer ceased written communication, according to the Wikipedia article. Kind of macabre, and certainly not evidence, but it would be darkly hilarious if the reason the killer stopped was that he got into D&D. There wouldn't happen to be anyone here who played D&D with Paul Doerr in the 70s?
You run 4-5 marathons a year. That is more than many professional runners, who usually limit themselves to 4 a year max, because of the sheer amount of stress a marathon puts your body through. Add in the ultras, and you are running more than pretty much anyone being paid to do so.

You do not rank "quite well". You rank in the 0.1%, and even amongst fitness enthusiasts, you also rank easily amongst the top 10%. Not necessarily in terms of speed, but in raw distance done.
Some places the ISP's are monopolies, or duopolies. Even with current tech giants you have many options.
The mnemonic I use is "for index", as in for keys you can use to index things. One gotcha to remember here is that officially all property names are strings [0], and that includes array indexes. To exemplify, `for (let x in { a: 40, b: 41, c: 42 }) { console.log(x); }` would give you "a", "b", "c" as that's what you can use as an index to key into that object to get the values. And `for (let x in [40, 41, 42]) { console.log(x); }` would give you "0", "1", "2" as that what's you can use as an index to key into that object. I always remember `for..of` as just the other one.

https://tme.eu does a better job of this. If you enter "16V", it knows to also select the 12-20V ranges. It also works the other way around, you can enter "10-22u" in the parameteric search and it will find both 10uF and 22uF parts.

So annoying that digikey doesn't do this, you have to click each value/range separately.

the fee is usually less than £1. Every single person I know in the UK that travels via train uses it. I wish it didn't fall to a private institution to provide what is a fairly basic service, but I think the fee shouldn't deter people from using it, especially considering they don't even charge it in a lot of cases. Booking tickets directly with a ToC is a terrible experience.

I got a good laugh from your comment here. Imagine it from my perspective. Someone (you) is suggesting they search for a ToE in their spare time, and they’re labeling someone else as clearly crazy.

;)

All in good fun. I greatly enjoy the sentiment of your comment and it’s parent that great ideas can come from anywhere. At the risk of creating a segue into controversial topics, I think this plays a huge part of why it’s important that a team of programmers be made up of folks with different backgrounds. I am so often caught completely off guard by how different a valid idea is than mine. “I totally never would have thought of that.”
Oh, interesting. I don't think it was that though. My understanding was that somehow the entire truck ended up flipping around 180 degrees (or more). And I didn't quite understand why that was a good thing - I think it was mostly about letting you do new kinds of tricks that weren't otherwise possible.
Were the chances that WFH proliferation will remain at pandemic levels high? No. Were the chances that opportunistic eshops will remain once prior corrects high? Debatable.

This is just more hindsight being employed.

It is so easy, so simple to look back, and proclaim one superior and correct.

Did you have these thoughts, and think all these precise things when people were hiring for pandemic booms?

Did you proclaim this loudly, put your reputation on the line, emphatically state that everyone was wrong, wrong!?

I doubt it.

I further doubt you, and the other poster, would have staked capital either way too. And you know why?

Because you didn't know with surety. Because this is all hindsight.

Heck, I'm willing to bet you had no opinion at all about this specific topic at all a year ago. None.

Unless you looked at this, thought about this, you're looking back.

> Even if you could write your sensor's face data into someone else's phone,

Since the keys presumably aren't retrievable from the hardware, it doesn't matter if there are random or intentional production flaws in the sensor itself: you need the original hardware anyway. You just need to trick it into doing the authentication. That's the part where biometrics are involved, the part where you present it with a username so to say. The rest is private key authentication.
I believe this all boils down to mental energy an efficiency.

Our brains are great at pattern matching. We want to look at the landscape, see that there’s no hiding lion, and continue hunting-gathering. Constantly rechecking that there’s no lion is draining, and it also leads to less hunting-gathering. Adult humans really dislike having to do that (we even consider it a sign of mental illness)

The “back and forth” between husband and wife supports this theory. Every time one of them designed one experiment, “the ball was on somebody else’s field” and they could temporarily forget about the problem until the results came back. I am sure they were two very busy individuals and being able to “move on to other things” after designing the next experiment was gratifying.
The things on your mind are misunderstandings. Not sure exactly what you think, but what you wrote made no sense to me.

It seems you haven't read any of the books.

I did use the listening technique in Never Split... and it worked well, and long term good effects too for everyone. -- When listening to the other person, one gets a bit more open oneself -- sometimes the other person does have (partly) good ideas (although not in that case) and it's simpler to find something that works.
Downstream refers to liquids, or concepts. Perhaps "downwind" was meant?

> Do you have trouble reading HN in a maximized browser window on a wide screen monitor

HN comments happen to be capped at 1215px (which I find too long on big comments), and comments usually have line breaks in between that make them not reach the max width.

> Text in books tends to take the full width of the page

Yes. Not the full width of both pages at the same time. Pages on a book have a vertical format, not horizontal. I guess columns would be somewhat ok on the web, but it's not really comfortable either... as we can scroll.

Coverage of the screen with text is the wrong metric regarding legibility.

It's a lot less common than you think, especially by email. In my spare time, I work on motorcycles, and I often have to source specific parts or - in rare cases - reach out to a local machine shop. I've given up on email, a phone call is often the only way to get a response.

When you work in the tech industry, you get accustomed to everything being done by text, but the rest of the world isn't so convinced :)
Observer selection bias makes our own existence entirely irrelevant to the question of whether there are other intelligences out there.
I wonder if it's down to having an opportunity to negotiate the price. It's either that, or things like handling get calculated to fine points - a single screw being more expensive than a box of screws, for example. Shipping is complicated as well. Maybe it's about setting up invoicing accounts as well?

Anyway, lots of barriers, makes you think it's either a requirement that I as a layperson don't understand, or a hole in the market.

That said, what about German electronics parts sites like Conrad or Reichelt?
nice strawman that has nothing to do with the point being made
Really? I always found that the ink came off, then you need a bidet anyway...
Conrad is a shitshow in my country.

- Almost nothing is on stock, most items have 10+ weeks backorder time.

- Ridiculously expensive, its common to find 2x prices than in other shops.

- Full with Chinesium crap (but some high quality items too), one can never be sure what they will get.
