>It is always funny to me to see a claim that Amazon has some type of outsize pricing power in the marketplace, when switching to a different business involves typing in a different URL.

That's the power of habit. You can use Bing to search the web, but you probably don't. It's unconscious brand loyalty. I know the VAST majority of stuff I buy online comes from Amazon. Why? The barrier is low. I know they'll have it and I can most likely get it in two days. Mix in familiarity with the website, it's all over.
There's still way, way more little-endian platforms, and it's not likely to change in the future. So it makes sense to use the representation that's most efficient for them when designing protocols.
Think about it this way. If I, for example, did a series of activities that led to 13% of my division's business being impacted adversely, I'm almost assuredly getting fired.

When you go higher up the food chain, the same thing happens. When the people at the very top do something like that, does the same happen? Sometimes. Depends on who's on the BoD I guess.

Well apparently they're now labeling accounts as 'official' so users can distinguish between a mere $8.00/mo tick versus a notable, official account.

I'm going to sign up for it. If it means I'm not shadowbanned and get noticed in people's feeds more, then this is a win.

Also Twitter Blue drastically separates the wheat from the chaff. People don't like spending good money to spam (unless I'm wrong, maybe there's a tonne of spammers leveraging Twitter Blue so they can spam).
I am making a much more narrow point than you're interpreting it. The Twitter thread is claiming people who "take responsibility" are somehow superior to those who don't. I am saying I see no evidence to believe that. Talk is cheap.

My personal belief is that I would like to see discussion of the system that gets us to the point of mass layoffs. As rich as Zuck or Musk or whoever is, they are still close to gears in the system than orchestrators, so we should probably have a discussion about if this situation is something we could modify the system to prevent, and if we want to modify the system in that way.
Projects should rewrite their public history from time to time, for instance to get rid of commits that never should have happened, or move changes between commits, fix commit messages and such.

The history should be treated as the perfect object to develop. We should continuously revise how this program should have been developed to its current state, by what sequence of changes.
From what I understand; they purchased a piece of software that already existed to translate PPC to x86 in some form or another and iterated on it. I believe the software may have already even been called ‘Rosetta’.

My memory is very hazy; though. While I experienced this transition firsthand and was an early Intel adopter, that’s about all I can remember about Rosetta or where it came from.

I remember before Adobe had released the Universal Binary CS3 that running Photoshop on my Intel Mac was a total nightmare. :( I learned to not be an early adopter from that whole debacle.

So not long ago FTX was going to save Celsius, then balked. Now Binance was going to save FTX, then balked. When Binance needs saving, is that the end, or is there another turtle under these three turtles?
Haha. what's the git reflog talk? To be clear I know what reflog is, but what's "the talk"?
It's still a sexy beast. Looks modern even 23 years later.
There's FTX.intl and FTX.us. They're supposed to be separate. The SEC and the CFTC just started investigating how separate.

FTX.us is either OK or some people are going to jail. Too soon to tell which.
Using interactive rebase in that way is a great tool, but we're talking about people that are against rebasing in general, so it's not the most relevant point IMO.

i.e. the anti-rebase people are usually of the "never rebase" flavor. Because they're also the "history is sacred even though I never look at history because if I did I would get dizzy and throw up" crowd :P
Nice page! Very well made and great explanations. However; I'm a big fan of aliases in git, but I don't think this is the way to go personally. Knowing the difference between rebase and merge is vital, and I think it's worth the time investment to learn git properly.

It took me 1 month of painstakingly learning the git CLI and I'm happy I spent the time. Before that I was using a GUI and was essentially afraid of git.

I'm no longer afraid. Instead I'm actively exploring ways to do things faster and/or smarter every day.

This happened when I switched jobs recently and came into contact with a fantastic developer and patient teacher. Doing it myself would have taken a bit longer and I wouldn't be able to see how much it would be worth it.

I'm enjoying a rebase workflow everyday. And I especially like the -i flag for interactive rebasing;

git rebase -i

Same with -p for interactively adding code/files before commits

git add -p

I read the first three chapters of the git-scm book[0] and it made a world of difference in understanding what's actually going on.

Apple stuff has always cost what Apple stuff cost.

At one point you could shop around at places such as Best Buy and get an Apple device with a "free" printer or something, but you were still paying what Apple charged for the Apple device. I guess I don't follow what's going on here.
I think a better analogy is Erlang being like Latin and Elixir being like Portuguese or Spanish.

"Making the world a better place, through minimal message oriented transport layers." -Hooli

What is important to you, what do you care about? Who depends on you for what? What skills, abilities, connections, positions, etc. do you have that can be useful in the world?

I think too often people want some grand overall narrative about making a big impact on the world, which, if you adopt it without really truly believing and caring about it, will be actually demotivating. For the most part, anyone can find purpose by doing a better job at what they are already doing in life. Be a better whatever you are. Go deeply into it, and put more energy into it.

I also highly recommend these books:
* Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
* The Enchiridion by Epictetus
* Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
It's impossible to work with it on mobile due to input highjacking. It actively tries to update my input any time I type something.
"My dad switched from working with a map printout without knowing real-time conditions, the imperative flow, to Google Maps with turn-by-turn directions, the declarative flow."

There is no such thing as an imperative or declarative "flow". By its very definition, declarative does not have "flow". It is just a statement. Imperative (in programming) literally means "describing steps that change state". Declarative (in programming) literally means "describing a state which is desired".

Declarative would be "I want a cheeseburger." Imperative would be "Get me a bun, and some lettuce, and tomato, and mayo, and raw meat. Cook the meat on a grill at high heat, flipping half way. Put the mayo on the bottom of the bun, then the meat, then the lettuce, then the tomato, then put on the top of the bun. Give it to me."

It's still strange to me how people learn about "magic words" like declarative and imperative, and then try to ssstttrrreeeeettttttcccccccchhhhhhhhhhh their meaning into some new paradigm that they have just thought up.

There is no such thing as an imperative configuration file. A configuration file describes how a program should be configured. Even when the configuration file "describes a series of steps to change state", it's still declarative, because the configuration file is still declaring to the program how to operate. It's the program that is imperative or declarative, depending on how it interprets and acts on the configuration file. (This is made clearer in programs like Ansible, which, within the exact same configuration file, supports both declarative and imperative statements)

Before you say "what about template files! jinja2! go templates! hcl!", that is merely a DSL, which is no longer a configuration file; it is effectively a program in a crude programming language, interpreted by an interpreter (the program loading the file).

(edit: I agree with the author's point! But I suggest we stop using these terms 'declarative' and 'imperative', and instead say "let's write programs that are functional enough that we don't need to write configuration files that are mini-programs")
Dojo4 Playbook
I know there are countless counter-examples but:

- The "public" Internet, although since I used the word "deviant" people might not like me giving it as an example.

- Social media in general, which again not necessarily deviant, but before it reached critical mass a lot of people just found it weird and privacy invasive. I distinctly remember my family making fun of people posting their thoughts on early Twitter.

- eCommerce, was considered strange as you would put your CC information on some random website.

- Video games were for nerds and losers, now most people have an Xbox/Playstation.

- Drone/RC plane community was much more weird before the likes of DJI which lowered the bar significantly.

- More recently remote work was usually for a small portion of workers and people commonly said you had to be a certain type of person for it to work at all. Fast forward a pandemic and remote meetings are common and even requested by would-be employees.

I feel like there a fallacy somewhere in my arguments for sure, but there definitely seems to be a trend where things are weird, dumb and strange until they just aren't by reaching critical mass. Strapping a screen to your face to play video games and chat with people is definitely one of those until it isn't and I'd bet that within 10 years it will be already much more common.
Binance Said to Waver on FTX Deal, Bitcoin Falls Below $17K
you can't argue with a (p-)zombie, i suppose.
> Besides they're no longer their products, Apple lost ownership of them after they sold them.

First sale doctrine is only for retail sales that have no contract outside the sale.

In distribution, contracts can absolutely dictate terms. This is a good thing. It lets, for instance, Boeing require purchasers to properly maintain airplanes (it hurts Boeing when they fall out of the sky). It also lets manufacturers offer lower prices on the condition that products be displayed or promoted in certain ways. This is very common in retail ("we'll give you 5% off quantity 100 on the condition they're promoted in ads and an endcap in each store").

The Apple / Amazon example is resale price maintenance. There's some good background on US law in the area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resale_price_maintenance#Unite...

In this specific example, where the claim is that Amazon and Apple colluded to raise prices by only allowing authorized Apple resellers on amazon.com, I guess I'm kind of sympathetic to Apple. At least inasmuch as they can show that sales from unauthorized resellers generate more warranty/support/other expense, or brand damage from even worse stuff like fraud and counterfeits.

It seems like the real complaint is with the resale price maintenance in Apple's authorized reseller program. Which may be a fair complaint. But why not go after that? If the price maintenance is illegal, it should be illegal everywhere, not just Amazon. And if it's legal, it should be legal on Amazon as well.
At the end of the day, this is a bog-standard contract dispute over creative differences, and now these guys have to hash it out in the court of public opinion, because some gamers didn't feel like the soundtrack was good enough for their money, and started making a stink? Good grief. "Social" media is killing society.
Non disparagement clauses are gonna be common in any settlement where the other party has the legal upper hand. A wrongful termination would be an example, where the settling party would want assurances the manager won't pull a Marty on reddit.
I'm sure one's wife will completely understand.
>Apple is not involved in that sale at all.

Apple is still on the hook to provide at least the bare minimum of support which costs Apple money.

It's still shocking because aside from anything else, CZ must know that FTX dying is going to be massive blow to the whole industry. Like Lehman and Bear Stern's but with no Fed or Treasury bailout.
I think the AI did learn the game correctly though. It's reasonable for white to pass assuming the black stones in its territory are dead. It's reasonable for black to pass assuming that it cannot make its stones in white's territory live. The only unreasonable thing is the scoring which incorrectly counts the dead black stones as alive.

I believe that human players would also pass in this situation.
What specific consequence would you expect him to bear? It's not like there's any meaningful financial consequence that he would actually feel.

Should he impose some consequence on himself, like he only gets to spend $1 million on leisure over the next year?

Currently the Elizabeth Line trains are slow and stop everywhere. Think of tube rather than train.

From the West end of the line in Reading nobody takes the Elizabeth Line to go into London, for instance, it's much too slow compared to the direct fast GWR trains.

This also means that the line probably cannot be shared with fast trains for direct routes from East to West, I think.

Many articles and books make it seem as though it might be reasonable to try and be a novelist

The truth is that most short story publishers pay about 3-10 cents per word, so the pay for your work is usually less than $300-500. Most novels sell less than 1000 copies, and often far less; even then, the author might only get 10% of the price tag unless they self publish (but then sales are apparently 1/10 as high)

If you earned half minimum wage, you would have cause to celebrate!

Even authors of bestsellers often have day jobs unless they have a string of huge successes. That’s why we see so many sequels — less risk to the author who sees their chance to finally be a full time writer

There are so many sites out there right now hosting free fiction that it’s hard for many to find readers, even if the work is released for free. Many authors I know spend more time on self promotion than in writing due to this: otherwise, nobody will ever read their work in the first place

Publishers are now preferring authors who already have large followings, which reinforces this dynamic

For some people, writing is a vocation, but for 99.999% of the others, it’s a dream or a hobby, or a way to meet like minded people and enjoy being part of a community

Anyway: go out and read some small publisher books. Many are fantastic! There are a stunning number of great books around with 0-3 reviews that never had a shot — look for them sometime!

> no need to squash unless you split trivial changes that belong together

If a PR represents a distinct product feature/bug fix/unit of work, one could argue that its commits belong together.

Squashing makes for a very clean history. True it reduces granularity, but in my opinion at least, it's a good level of granularity.

The exception to this would be a really big PR. That's a reason to avoid huge PRs.

Show HN: Hackathon Camp – Platform to organize your next internal hackathon
Hey everyone,

I am Kevin. Founder of https://www.hackathon.camp [1]. Hackathon Camp is a platform to organize internal hackathons within your companies. We provide a platform to manage communication, signup, idea submission, project assignments, voting, and more.

We launched this project because we struggled to manage hackathons in our companies previously. It was a hassle to set everything up and write announcement emails, market the hackathon, manage the teams, and everything else. It took too much time. We want to have an easier way to organize hackathons.

After analyzing how we have done hackathons in our past jobs (mostly big tech companies), we have figured out the typical process of hackathons: Ideation/Planning of the hackathon -> Marketing the hackathon -> Getting participants/ideas -> Forming teams -> Starting hackathon -> Presentation of all projects -> Voting. We are trying to automate as much of the process, like the team matching which works with some preference algorithm, or the voting process via our platform. Trying to create a platform that works and does not feel like a weird hack of different forms and google sheets.

The basic version of hackathon.camp is free. It allows you to organize a hackathon with a maximum of 3 teams and 10 participants, ideal for your team to try the platform for a small team-internal hackathon. But because this is our first significant launch we will provide the Hacker News community with a special offer. We will organize the first hackathon with you for free, no matter the company. Reach out to hello@hackathon.camp [2], and we will onboard you and your company to the platform!

We are still at the very early stage of this project, so we apologize in advance for any bugs or features missing in the app when trying it out. We appreciate any feedback. So feel free to write here in the comments or send us an email: hello@hackathon.camp [2]

Thanks, Kevin & Boris & Julius

IMHO this highlights the need for a country like France to invest in producing its own solar panels.

They are:

https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/07/13/french-hjt-solar-plan...

France deployed 2.68 GW of new solar capacity in 2021 [1], so this 2 GW factory will cover more than 70% of domestic demand at 2021 installation rates.

My Roost is the original (Kickstarter?) one which looks exactly like the Nextstand, as opposed to looking like the Roost v3.

Closing the lid is fairly safe on my old one cause it hits the rubber discs, but leaves a ~1cm gap. I'm generally pretty happy with it and I've had it the best part of a decade now; my only gripe is that it doesn't adjust as low as I'd like sometimes.

If I remember right, I paid something like £60-70 + Duty (to UK).
