I’m so bearish on commercial real estate I’m hibernating in a cave and I’m not going to feel comfortable investing until I see it crash to earth. The fact the pricing is staying as high as it is, that’s nothing but total madness.

Doesn't the end point show up once you have SSO with your own identity provider enabled for any Microsoft services? Maybe technically this means that you have an Active Directory tenant as well, but it doesn't necessarily imply that you are using those Active Directory services for anything beyond that SSO capability.

Classic recursive or iterative problem that an undergraduate Statistics major needs to be able to derive directly not using formulas. Its wild how the chance of going broke is your money in bet units above both sides money at 50/50 and the odds go dramatically worse with any house edge.
And when you need to fire your friend, or report them for inappropriate behavior in the workplace, how is that going to go for you? What if you share something important with a coworker-friend and they dislike it? You are now stuck with that person.
The trick is to just guess - with enough steps your errors will cancel each other out, unless you're grossly wrong, in which case you can go back and fix it. Back when these were common interview questions, because Microsoft did it, bad interviewers would pick at whether you knew the "right" number for each step.
Oh no you're absolutely right, my general frustration was ill-placed for this thread. Wasm is no doubt the right and only way to have done this.
Politicians become brands. Strom Thurmond was in bad shape during his last term in the Senate and possibly before that. I can only suppose that the South Carolina Republican Party was afraid of replacing him, either because it meant acknowledging that they had sent him to Washington when he was in bad shape, or because they didn't want the bad feelings around a contested primary. Meanwhile Chuck Grassley is apparently compos mentis, but running again this year, 42 years after he first won election.

I almost did mechanical engineering, in my placement before starting a degree I didn’t start I was working with detonation guns to fire tungsten carbide into machined parts to make them last far longer in nuclear power stations.

That had finished, just work on jet engine blades.

Would you really want your SSH connection or editor session with unsaved changes just exit after pressing one key combination? Interactive applications have different requirements than a commandline with much more limited inputs.
There's no reason to be against Ctrl-C for copy in a text editor.
"What no one ate as much of is grains, specifically ground grains."

From the article...

"Recently, there’s been some really cool work looking at the little bit of plaque and calculus stuck to the teeth in fossilized hominids. If you look at that, you’ll find remains of plants and starches. So we actually do have preserved evidence that early humans are eating lots of starchy vegetable foods. There’s even some evidence of a primitive flourlike substance that’s made out of grains. That kind of thing is anathema to most Paleo diets, which say that you can’t eat grains because grains are a farmed food."

Can't have evidence mucking up your belief system eh?

Why is this published in a GitHub org called "golang-standards"?

As someone who has worked with Go for years in a professional capacity, more than half of these folders are not necessary or convention in any sense. They usually introduce complexity into a language and ecosystem that tries very hard to prevent it.

Folks reading this without Go experience, really the only ones that are important are "internal" and "vendor" folders. The former cannot be imported into consuming packages, and the latter is the output of "go mod vendor" (commonly required in corporate environments). "pkg" is also mostly a convention because of projects like Kubernetes, but is not idiomatic either. (A Git repository itself represents a Go package or collection of packages based on the presence of a go.mod or go.work file)
That’s a legit & hard question, and my startup experience is in consumer SaaS products, but my first thought is: are sales & marketing truly critical to your bootstrapping process, if you’re going B2B? I ask just because I’ve heard a lot of B2B, especially for young companies, happens via referral.

Like the article, one way is to do it yourself until you grow and can hire someone into the positions you need. Do you have 1 customer ready to go who will fund solo development? Do you have a team who will jump in if you land a seed round, or will you start building solo? This all depends a lot on your funding & runway situation.
I think here it's a historical materialist view on capitalism, so if you work in your shop, it's not capitalism (basically).
I always wondered, did we put the nukes on the wrong end of the rockets? I mean a nuclear warhead can cause serious damage, but if you put it behind a rocket for controlled propulsion, we can explore deep space, which is better. Why go to war when we can become space faring instead? It's much more humane, civilized, and less embarrassing as a species.

Yeah. If I put in enough solar & batteries to fully serve this largish house, the local utility will still make me pay about half of my current electric bill. It'd make more sense to go off-grid and buy a generator for backup.

I don't like density. I understand where pro-density people are coming from, but I think there is a max density where people lose too much freedom.

Getting rid of commutes and letting everyone have a smaller required radius is a big winner. It's a winner for pollution, for transportation and for family/work balance.

Fun fact, the signs that show how many parking spaces are left run NixOS!
The layout and styling are very nice.

However, the main text color is lacking contrast, either the font is too thin or its color too light.

I can read it, but it is borderline uncomfortable.

I don't mind a bit of softened contrast, but in this case, this is a bit too much.
Indeed, I don't ride my bike on multi-lane roads if I can avoid them, so I'm only talking about roads where my choices are riding in the traffic lane or ducking into the parking lane. In my locale it's pretty easy to get around on neighborhood streets and bike paths, so I'm actually rarely sharing the road with a lot of car traffic.
This looks awesome. Great work!
Atlanta has a dismal history for their bike infrastructure projects that betrays an deep-seated disinterest in them being anything other than window dressing and the ability to check a box on some urbanist dream list. Bike tracks are almost instantly taken over by taxis and the city does nothing about it. If not taxis, then the city will designate them as loading areas for "special events" where special is a weekly occurrence and thus the bike tracks or lanes can't be relied on to be available without contacting city hall first to find out their daily status. Even the Beltline suffers greatly from too many uses being crammed into too little space, making it quite often poor quality for all users.

If Atlanta was serious, they'd convert Peachtree (THE Peachtree Street) through downtown and Midtown into a two lane street, remove as many curb cuts as possible (not 100% achievable but probably 90%), and force turns every couple of blocks to ensure there is no through traffic. Peachtree Street is shady and relatively flat, while the wide, highspeed mostly one-way streets that run parallel to it where the bike lanes have been placed are hilly and mostly unshaded. Plus the bike lanes are filled with debris and storm grates. Push most vehicular traffic off Peachtree Street onto those streets instead.

The space gained by making cars and trucks the minority users of Peachtree could be used for multiple bike lanes, pedestrian paths, small linear parks, and perhaps even a low speed lane for those electric scooters that are so popular.

I will take this opportunity to ask: is there any way to make Cypress work with Safari? I saw they have experimental webkit support, but I don't know if that's Safari or the GNOME browser on Linux. (Maybe it doesn't matter, but we ran into something at work where we'd have a use for testing on older versions of Safari)

You won't need those either. AI will be able to just use your neuralink implant to build a complete product based on some vague ideas, in minutes. Goodbye daily scrum meetings and quarterly planning.

In all seriousness now - who is going to be building this "AI"? What about the platforms it has to run on (both software and hardware)? The tools that team has to use?

Will AI find new ways to implement AI? Will AI research and implement ways to optimize itself across the whole stack?

Are you just going to let AI spin VMs for you in your multi-cloud Azure subscription with uncapped spend, if that's what it takes to build your product? Maybe AI will also investigate customer escalations and bug reports? Or memory corruption issues?

Look, I get it. You're excited about a computer computing. And maybe you've gotten used to the idea that engineering ends with being a code-monkey stitching together CRUD APIs in Python.

Nothing wrong with being excited. But please, have a bit of respect for the craft.
At the bank I'm working at, last year with my coworkers, we decided to guess which managers/execs owned real estate in Paris according to how much they pushed against WFH. We had one outlier, and probably a lot of confounding factors, but the correlation do exist.
Now i can imagine some rail being reused for a different line and suddenly trains showing up in the old line on screens in the control room.
Again, your understanding of how Mantle evolved into Vulkan is incorrect as is your understanding of which consoles support Vulkan and how much the graphics APIs for both those consoles differ from Vulkan.

Consoles are far from a driving factor for Vulkan other than the need for these engines to abstract anyway.

I 100% agree - my point is that cars are easier to dodge in NYC right now with the relative slow speed in their neighborhoods. The e-bikes often go well above 30mph and pay no heed to lights or other traffic signals. I was honestly shocked after having biked myself on multiple continents and having seen much better bike etiquette pretty much everywhere else.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. Windmill looks well done. I've got a few ideas I'm mulling over in the dev tools space and would consider going the solo technical founder. Will definitely reach out for some advice when the time comes. Out of curiosity, any downsides to use the .dev tld?
As far as I know, they're definitely not independent, because Stadia only runs Vulkan natively. That's kind of the point.
Yeah, I personally dislike AGPL but even I do not see any practical issues with it for this use.
Those statements are in line with nutrition science so it’s unclear what sources you expect if you dismiss nutrition science.
Win7 had an occassional timing issue where it would try to start before the profile could be read so it would boot to a temp profile. The main symptom is that all the user's files and desktop icons were gone. I would just have them reboot then it would be fine but it would need a tuneup, chkdsk, delete tmps, etc. as long as the drive wasn't really old. It used to be more common before the move to SSDs instead of HDDs but a Win7 computer's drive is probably really old, so yes, time for a new PC.

In this case the deleted files would have to recovered. I recently use Easus Data Recovery Wizard and was able to restore a lot of files for a client who's photo storage drive crashed. It would be best to pull the drive and do the recovery on another computer. I think the free tool allows up to 2GBs of data recovery but in this case the client had 100's of GBs so he paid for a 30 day license for $65.

Like all fundamental things, rationality is what we say it is. Things just are, if we cannot explain them we call them irrational but that doesn't mean that they are inherently bad or to be shunned.

Rational thought arises out living, it is not mechanical. I would say the triumph of our rationality has been the ability to deal with this irrationality, something which is on the decline.

I would say that we won't be able to build true AI till we understand and reconcile this conflict and find a way to express it.

> If I'm not mistaken the goal of 100% cyclable Paris is limited to the city of Paris which has half the area of Amsterdam

But twice the population.

Depends on the city, but the majority are also working on making themselves more cyclable, even when the terrain isn't great for it (western suburbs are quite hilly).
One thing that's weird about Dostoevsky is that there are so many characters and their relationships with each other are very complex. "The Idiot" , ironically, was one of the more complicated books, IMHO. It made me wonder if the average Russian back in the 19th century had the ability to hold this chess like complexity in their heads or Dostoevsky just made everyone in the book unrealistically intelligent.
Same. I wasn't clicking my own ads but I was 16ish and had some sort of text along the lines "Please click an ad to support this website."

Your posts have always been so clear minded, and well-informed. If there were a way to follow a user on HN, you would be one of the few if not the only person on that list for me. Every post I see from you, it’s clear you’re informed on the market, you know how everything works, and you are very rarely wrong. I just wanted to say that in my opinion having used HN for many years, you’re in the top 1% of users for contributions. I think you would be successful as some sort of IT and business analyst. Or maybe a blog or YouTube channel commenting on industry events.

"Founder" is not a title you can add casually under US law.

Should you be spending a lot of time in the production environment though? Also, in many places, the list of things you can do in the production environment is quite short (viewing logs or reconfiguring things), because the app runs off a Docker-or-whatever container and is written in a compiled language (so you can’t just hack together a bugfix in vim on the production server).
State machine diagrams illuminate system semantics without code: “when an API returns 403, go to REQUEST_AUTH state.” The transitions/states can then be observed by outside code to trigger UI/side effects.

Done correctly, you can disentangle the decision-making code from the side effecting code to maximize reasoning ability.

My favorite example of this is the following write up: https://gist.github.com/andymatuschak/d5f0a8730ad601bcccae97...

As far as I understand, that also brings up the true farce about grid-tied solar: you are still at the utility company’s mercy to keep the grid working, because the solar system only works when there is grid power. Insane.
> Rather than 90 percent of this man's brain being missing, it's more likely that it's simply been compressed into the thin layer you can see in the images above.

As I understand , nuclear power wasn't used for space exploration mostly for political reasons. It's considered quite unpopular to put nuclear engines which fly above people heads. There are therefore a lot of regulations for the use of nuclear propulsion, which has discouraged its use for now.

I am really sick of this "think of the children" argument for why the US needs to persist in this dysfunctional car-centric model, particularly when they're applied to the only part of the country with halfway decent transportation alternatives. I live in lower Manhattan, we need LESS cars and we're going to get it sooner or later. If you don't like that, please stay out of the city, you have practically the entire continent of cities already suited to live your car-centered suburban life.
