> We found that the average age of entrepreneurs at the time they founded their companies is 42. But the vast majority of these new businesses are likely small businesses with no intentions to grow large (for example, dry cleaners and restaurants)

From your first link, this is the key passage.

People are conflating two data points (startup founder and average age of a business owner when they founded their company). The later is a bigger population than the former.

"Startup Founder" is synonymous with growing a business to be huge, so you should exclude founders from the calculation who are NOT attempting to grow a business to be huge.

I imagine when you exclude said individuals, the average age of a "startup" founder to be much younger.

Critical context for the Maginot line in the first few paragraphs here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_France#Central_front

Quick summary: The French Army's high command was stuporhumanly slow and weak in their response to the German attack through the Ardennes (just north of the north end of the Maginot line). Especially considering how quickly the German Army had conquered Poland less than a year earlier. And had conquered Denmark just one month before. And was wrapping up the conquest of Norway at the same time as they started attacking France...

If you know in advance that your soldiers are solid (and the French soldiers were) but your military high command will be worse than useless - then relying on fixed fortifications is actually the best possible national strategy. Your good soldiers can hold out for a while in the fortifications, taking (mostly) not-too-horrible casualties, without needing any orders from or action by your brain-dead high command.

I'll go ahead and say that a sprinkle of humor would help a lot here.

If a coworker comes to you with a problem that is trivial to you, it shouldn't be a problem in the first place for you to say "Oh just do X".

The problem lies in how the other person takes it and most importantly if the environment allows people to safely "confess" they don't know something, regardless of how trivial it is.

If it does, there shouldn't be any problem. The dialogue can continue in multiple positive ways such as "Oh that didn't cross my mind, thanks!", "I don't know how to do X", "Can you show my sorry ass how to do X?", "Just do X huh... How do I do X again?“, "See the problem with X is that I don't know how to do Y / how to apply X in this case" and "Well obviously I should do X! I was just testing you"

If it doesn't, the problem is with the environment.

When you have a problem with the environment, you shouldn't try to "solve" it by making it impossible for the problematic thing to enter the environment (censoring comes to mind), but instead teach the environment how to deal with the problem when it eventually and inevitably enters it.

Great, I can wax poetic how I'm nearly hit by cars walking on the sidewalk and crossing intersections as a pedestrian EVERY SINGLE TIME I WALK TO THE STORE. Or I can talk about how cars drive in the bike lane EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Actually, it IS your problem if you hit me when I Idaho Stop a stop-sign, it's entirely legal to do so in my state and it just means you're an irresponsible driver who can't be assed to actually look both ways before crossing an intersection.

Yeah, you are the problem, you precisely. Not your argument in general, it's you, entitled carbrains who think you deserve the road because you're bigger or spent more money on your vehicle.

I think your post highlights a good point. The article talks about needing "OSS maintainers", but of course OSS isn't really a thing you sell for money (yes, I know in the broader sense people have tried business models around OSS, but nobody is paying for OpenSSL).

It's entirely an economic problem, not a "too many" or "not enough" people problem.

Sorry you got laid off. If anything, I felt like the Stripe layoffs we're a bit of a special case, because I've seen Stripe churn out tons of useful new features and functionality over the past couple years, in contrast to some of the other tech layoffs where the companies seem like they've been treading water for years.

The USD 5.00 per month thing is relatively 'cheap' but the designers of the pricing model don't take into account all the other services people are signed up to. This is why super cheap tiers are great, like $1.00/mo tiers where I may not get all features, but at least I get to save some money. Spotify, Netflix, Hosting, Domain Renewals, etc all start to add up.
Ok... I'm failing to form the abstract connections necessary to understand the point you're getting at here.

Is the implication that it's inherently unethical to subject others to stimuli under the presumption that the stimulation is uniformly harmless? Surely that's the whole point of studies like this; to rigorously probe such assumptions within the relative safety of a controlled experiment?

From the FAQ:

> Svija pages are fully-readable by screen readers, and you can add special text for each page in Svija Admin, visible only to screen readers.

I tested the accessibility with a keyboard and screen reader. With a keyboard, when you press the tab key, focus should usually go left-to-right, top-to-bottom. On this page the first link you tab to is 'Request Access'. From there the tab key goes backwards, to FAQ, Examples etc, then up to Vibe, Blazing Speed etc. Then it jumps down to the footer, does the same reverse order, then jumps all over the place.

The buttons in the main content to trigger animations aren't focussable at all, so aren't accessible without a mouse or touchscreen.

I explored the page with NVDA (a free screen reader) and found a number of sections and links where what was read out was different to what was shown in screen. It looks like you have a hidden HTML DOM that's exposed to screen readers and I assume this is out of sync somehow with what's on screen? I also got a bunch of links that didn't appear on the screen at all.

Exploring with the NVDA elements list (Insert+F7) shows a lot of junk in the Links list - links with text like 'id1584143858', 'UCmfF3YOMVyRcd0m-WpMUZ2g' etc. The Buttons list doesn't show the animation trigger buttons (because they're not marked up as buttons) and the Landmarks list is empty, meaning no easy way to jump to nav, header, footer etc.

Browser zoom is completely broken. The page looks the same at 500% zoom as it does at 100%.

Accessibility is important, and it's really disheartening when new page-building platforms like this pop up that clearly haven't been audited by an accessibility specialist or run past a disabled person who uses assisitve technology, especially when they specifically give the impression they're accessible as the FAQ answer does
Right—it's not like they'd have done better without it. Odds are they would have lost even sooner, in fact. The little air war after Poland was invaded would have instantly been a bloody ground war in the West, too, rather than most of the action on that front waiting until Germany marched through the low countries. Not like they'd have been better off with that border unfortified—it likely bought them some weeks or months, not that it mattered for the ultimate outcome. Hell, without it, Germany may have decided to attack West first, then turn East, rather than vice-versa.

A good piece on going to grad school or not. It's tailored to the Humanities, but the advice is still relevant for the Sciences:

https://acoup.blog/2021/10/01/collections-so-you-want-to-go-...

TLDR: Only go if you meet 1 of 2 conditions:

1) You are rich.

2) You get along with your advisor so well you know within 9 months of meeting/working with them that you'll be at their funeral no matter what. The chance of this is a dice roll with very heavy disadvantage (4xd20, choose lowest).

Otherwise, try it out for a year, then bounce. It's not worth your time.

It's cute how almost everyone here is bringing up like one or two instances they had an issue with a cyclist. when you could ask any cyclist how many issues they have with cars and the volume of negative interactions is MASSIVELY different.

Oh cool, you met a single bad cyclist. Every time I go out on foot or on bike I meet like 3 bad drivers. Oh, and when I meet a bad driver I am likely to die or be critically injured, when you meet a bad cyclist you're likely to scratch your paint.

It's important to zoom out and have some perspective.
> Some VLFs were above the predicted perceptual thresholds, although consciously undetectable. Because VLFs were relatively near thresholds (that were determined in silence) whereas non-VLFs were far above thresholds (see supplemental material), we believe that auditory masking of the VLFs contributed to their being undetectable.

> I think the actual issue is a step beyond that: cyclists are treated as if they were equal to drivers sometimes (e.g., bikes being entitled to the whole lane even if they're going 20 under the speed limit)

Unless the road has a minimum speed limit posted, there's no requirement to drive at or near the speed limit. The rules of the road were designed to accommodate drivers moving at different speeds. Where traffic keeps to the right, the general rule is that slower traffic keeps further towards the right and faster traffic passes them on the left.

But when there are marked lanes, slower traffic just uses the right lane and faster traffic passes using one of the lanes to the left (even if that lane is normally for traffic moving in the other direction. Whether the slower vehicle is a bus, truck, or pedalcycle doesn't really matter. The lane isn't wide enough to share side by side anyway because lanes are really only wide enough for a single dual track vehicle. The only exception to that is two single track vehicles traveling side by side within the same lane.

This is what makes it possible for traffic moving at different speeds to share the road.
In case anyone doesn't feel like they intuitively understand loop pipelining, an example most programmers respond to well is that of a running total.

CPUs are capable nowadays of executing multiple instructions per clock cycle, BUT those instructions still take maybe several cycles to finish, so if instruction B depends on the result of instruction A then you have to wait awhile to execute B.

for (i in 0..n) { total += v[i]; }

Here, the `total` variable changes every loop iteration, so even if we can execute 4 additions per clock cycle, we'll instead expect to see just one every 1 or 2 cycles. A trivial change (not safe when your addition isn't commutative and you care about the difference -- e.g., floats without fast math enabled) is to maintain two independent counters.

for (i in 0..(n-1):+2) { t1 += v[i]; t2 += v[i+1]; }

total = t1 + t2 + (n&1) && v[n-1];

You need a bit of cleanup code at the end to merge the running totals and handle a straggling element you might've missed when looping in increments of two, but for most of the procedure you're flip-flopping between doing operations on t1 and t2, so since there isn't a direct data dependence the CPU is free to execute them simultaneously and halve your latency.

Loop pipelining usually doesn't actually introduce changes in behavior like that (though occasionally I've seen a compiler do that for me -- not quite sure what that optimization stage is called), but it instead relies on there already not being any data dependencies and expresses your ordinary loop as several iterations being appropriately interleaved. It's a similar idea though, and it can have a massive performance benefit.

The problem is that even your "sane" system will consistently fail to be appropriately liquid, even when compared to traditional finance. Exchanges are a liability being thrown into the mix, and since the cold/hot funds aren't regulated they could frankly be spent on anything. Their cold wallet could be tied up in the speculation market or being leveraged against lenders. Every one of these exchanges has every incentive to operate against the user's wishes, at the end of the day.

Exchanges simply don't work. The comparison between them and banks ignores the surrounding regulation and guarantees that banks are obligated to issue you. Are my FTX holdings FDIC insured?
Let me preface by saying that this seems like a great piece of software and it is absolutely within your right to license it as whatever you would like, no matter what any of the commenters here think.

However, I don't believe your understanding of AGPL is accurate.

> No, my understanding is that if you don't make any changes to the Cozo code, you don't need to release anything to the public. If you do, and you cannot release your non-Cozo code, then you must dynamically link to the library (and release your changes to the Cozo code). The Python, NodeJS and Java/Clojure libraries all use dynamic linking.

This sounds like you're thinking of the LGPL, not AGPL. Whereas LGPL is less strict than GPL because the exception you describe above applies. AGPL on the other hand is more strict. Essentially, if you use any AGPL code to provide a service to users then you must also make the source code available, even if the software itself is never delivered to users.

The intention here is that you can't get around GPL by hiding any use of the GPL code behind a server, so it makes perfect sense to use it for a database. But I don't think it does what you want.

Whichever way you decide to go, be it AGPL, LGPL or something else, I encourage you to make a choice before accepting any outside contributions. As soon as you have code from other authors without a CLA you will need to obtain their permission to change the license (with some exceptions).

(Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, just interested in licenses.)

What a marvelous story. Daly's project was also thoughtful (as presented here, anyway) rather than a 1960s "shock" piece.

I was a little disappointed that the historical section was not more detailed, especially as the beginning of the article talks about today being a tie of misinformation. All cultures invent historical precedent, of course. But this work brought to mind a series of Nazi "documentaries" produced in the 1930s and 1940s trying to justify the bogus "Aryan origin" narrative and in particular to claim that the so-called "Aryan" German culture they were asserting was in fact indigenous to German territory. (Of course, like all cultures, it both is and is not).

I find this kind of thing particularly interesting and, separately, hilarious, as I personally couldn't care less about the idea that one's ancestry justifies one's own self. Thus its importance to others makes it worth learning about.

(On the amusing side, I was particularly struck by a supposed artifact, a sculpted head, that looked remarkably like Dilbert. I told Scott Adams about it and he was suitably amused. But looking now at his writing over the last six years or so one has to wonder...:-).

It wasn't a criticism of the video. On the contrary, he largely gets it when he starts talking about how playing a guitar really quickly using power chords for timbre limits note sequences and eschews tonality, which is why there end up being a lot of call and response and variation-on-previous sequence type rhythmic patterns to analyse

But there's more thought involved in labelling the riffs in the video than composing them :D

I have been mostly a Common Lisp developer since 1982 (probably 30% professional work, the rest of my paid for time split between Java, C++, Python, Prolog, and Ruby).

About three years ago I was very enthusiastic about Julia becoming my primary language because so much of my work was in deep learning. I created a small repo of examples using Julia for non-numeric stuff like string processing, SPARQL query client, etc. Julia was pretty good all around.

What kept me from adopting Julia was realizing that Python had so many more libraries and frameworks. Right now, I split my time between Common Lisp and Python.

I've always thought that blockhead psychology was like this.

With ordinary greed people just want to be rich. I think it pains blockheads that anybody else has anything at all.

They see somebody getting a coffee and think "it's a tragedy that they can afford a coffee, they should buy a coffee NFT from me and then I'd have all the money".

Most of us see a homeless encampment and have some feelings between "this is a humanitarian catastrophe" and "this makes me feel personally uncomfortable". The blockhead looks at this and thinks that if they had all the money nobody else would get to live in a house, everyone else would be in a homeless encampment and that would be a great thing.

Like the goldbug who fantasizes that a switch to the gold standard, however, they don't get that if, like in the movie Goldfinger, one person wound up with all the money, there wouldn't be anything left to buy with that money.
