Suhail blocked me on Twitter some time ago as I was a bit vocal in my opposition to the core idea behind this app.

I think it was already dead at the time and the criticism got under his skin.

I wish there was a way to make money by shorting bad ideas. I think I could easily fund a few companies by doing that on weekends.
If I use photoshop to recreate a copywritten work - they don’t have to redistribute photoshop or change it in any way. The originals are not being shipped in the models but the models are capable of recreating copywritten work. These are tools just like photoshop.

In the end I think c++11 did make things way better and less error prone than before, largely through new features.

It's just a quick overview of the app though. Making a great tutorial video takes time, and we don't have the resources to do that at the moment. But we definitely will. Thanks for your feedback.
This was EXACTLY the problem Mighty was encountering.

They were targeting customers who didn't have powerful enough computers and offering a way to make their computer effectively faster while browsing the web without needing to upgrade their computer.

The problem is the solution costs $35/mo. That's $420 a year.

Anyone who can afford an extra $420 a year to improve their computer speed, probably is just going to buy a better computer with that money.
Sure, let's agree that CICO is a decent rule of thumb, not a law. That's a fun anecdote, though.
>Plenty of "smart contracts" have been drained due to programming flaws because they are so extremely complicated.

So? In the early days of the internet credit card scams and all sorts of scams were running rampant, the solution was not to stop developing because it's "extremely complicated" ( not true btw ), but to continuously improve systems. There are plenty of startups now that specialize on security and auditing smart contracts.

> Very, very few people can read and understand what is happening.

Anyone who can code and has a few hours can learn about it on youtube, it's not rocket science.

>It might be transparent in theory but in reality it's just for show.

Bizarre non sequitor, its transparency is an objective fact, what "show" is it supposed to be for? Auditors have been successfully discovering bugs and fixing them because of this transparency.
I glanced through it. I didn't learn anything new, except the definition of bloat. The raw source wasn't available when I was doing this, so I learned it entirely by reverse engineering, and documentation.

Ironically I learned how the boot sector worked and basic ASM purely by using DEBUG.EXE. My computer got infected by Stoned virus, and I was pretty excited about it! This was back when DOS came with a green binder with actual documentation. It was a year or so of that before I discovered TASM and then MASM assemblers, which of course are a LOT more human-friendly.

The earlier versions of DOS were entirely written in ASM, and they were super-tight. But later versions were all rewritten in high level languages. The stuff in the leak is all the bloated high-level language versions.

I know this is a horrible option and most likely not what you had in mind, but there is always the option to cut open the spine of the book and use a normal flatbed scanner. Many commercial digitalization services use this approach AFAIK.

Other than that, have you checked your local library if they have a book scanner? No need to buy your own ...
This is how it appears to me also.

I suspect by 'free', GNU licenses aren't really referring to user-freedom more so source-code-freedom.

It all depends on the developer's objectives, no doubt.

> If he didn't intend to produce a child then he should have taken reasonable measures.

Like what? A condom? That applies to women too, if they don't intend to have kids, use a condom (rape excluded). But we give them ther ways out too. If the condom pops, the next step would be a day after pill. That applies to women, men get no say in that. Abortion? Same. What reasonable measures does a man have after a bad condom?
They are using a classic dollar sign for assignment, so clearly at&t is better.
Personally, I think both ends of these conversations could see improvement. A lot of people on here are rich and well-to-do so if you tell them the thing they bought for $45-$90k is more of a luxury than an environmental benefit or investment they'll get upset. Likewise, when rich people tell everyone their flatulents don't stink but others do, it'll make people upset, especially if the price tag to non-stinking-flatulents is high.

Civility and mutual respect tend to go a lot farther than "just facts".
How is this problem an opposite argument against women allowed to have an abortion? Surely these are two parallel issues that can be solved separately from each other.

By your logic women should not be able to abort because there's still kids in third world countries suffering from hunger.
Balance it against nothing. The beneficiaries are not the same people as the victims.

I'll say this. Without being critical of this tool, over 30 years of involvement with software projects, I have found that good project management is a result of a good project manager, not the software tools he or she uses.

A good project manager will do a good job even with index cards taped to the wall. A bad project manager will do a poor job even with the best software tools.

People who have the aptitude and desire and organizational skills to be good project managers are rare. You need to seek them out, not keep looking for magic in software tools.

If it's personal productivity you are after, you need to work on the skills that support that. I can't tell you how, because I'm pretty bad at it myself. Maybe look at some of the best-sellers such as Getting Things Done. But it won't be easy if you don't naturally have the necessary organized mind and self motivation. Software won't give you that.

They were clearly implying that his girlfriend father's being an economics professor was somehow a critical part of perpetuating the scam.

The people who were scammed were crypto investors who chose to put their money in an unregulated international exchange. Also many many other exchanges have also fallen apart and their parents weren't economics professors.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

> The laws of thermodynamics define a group of physical quantities, such as temperature, energy, and entropy, that characterize thermodynamic systems in thermodynamic equilibrium.

If you eat 2000 calories of food and burn 2000 calories (taking into account inefficiencies in the metabolic processes our bodies undertake to convert molecules to other molecules), there is no source of energy for you to accumulate fat, regardless of anything else.

Your metabolic rate and the chemical energy of your excrement and the amount of co2 you exhale can be affected by a myriad of factors, hormonal included. But they just change the CO part of the equation, not the fact that CICO is law.

For Mighty, this would mean their addressable market shrinks every year as more people replace with computers that are faster. That's not the characteristic of a market most startups want to be in.
That’s a good question. Setting aside climate change and fossil fuel issues, the general answer is something like when the present value of a new installation, minus installation cost, is greater than the present value of the existing installation. Estimation can’t be precise but after 20 or 25 years, the homeowner will have some idea of the remaining efficiency they’re dealing with. They might know the reliability of their inverters, too.

The replacement installation should be cheaper since initial permitting and electrical hookup is in place, and the roof mount might be reusable.

Tax incentives to modernize old solar installations will factor significantly.

Put another way: how high did your electric bill have to be to justify installing panels in the first place?

>I'm just of the opinion that whatever next steady state situation we might find out on the other end of a crypto-world isn't necessarily going to be better, or relatively better enough.

Oh is that so? Curious that governments are now basically salivating and trying to copy cryptocurrencies for their own CBCDs but stripping it from everything that prevents them from having full domination over their respective populations.

>The more I see crypto come up, the more I become convinced that actually, perhaps it's for the best after all that the government controls the financial sector. Human in the loop sort of idea.

Based on what evidence? Your inference is so backwards, because all of these fiascos have one thing in common: the human in the loop.

No one can ever tell me that a biased human could do a better job than an auditable open-source smart contract refined by thousands of diverse engineers that work together to create credibly neutral infrastructure transparent and verifiable by anyone. Luddites may disagree.
I appreciate that the Julia base install and standard library includes dependency management and that compilation happens on the fly. The entire experience involves Julia itself modifying a few TOML files. It really helps when almost everyone using the language is using the same package management system.
> By your logic women should not be able to abort because there's still kids in third world countries suffering from hunger.

No, by my logic, if women have that option, men should be given a "way out" from unwanted kids too, even if it's due to financial or other non-medical reasons. Obviously men cannot physically abort, so a paper abortion (giving up all rights and responsibilities) would be a way out for them/us.
Shameless Plug: a simple shell in ~60 lines of Go: https://simjue.pages.dev/post/2018/07-01-go-unix-shell/
Thank you for posting this, I read it a while back and had been trying to find it recently to share with someone.
I haven't tried the app yet and wanted to make sure it had one deal breaker feature: does it integrate with Github issues/PRs?

When something goes wrong, I look at the code, recent changes to it, and the discussion that happened in writing that code.

I'm not interested in anything that washes its hands of scope when the item is marked done. I want easy ways of getting back to all that data long after it's marked done.

That's a great idea for a startup, VCs would be falling over themselves for a piece!
> This means what really powered Figma's takeover was that flat design took over, which is less technically demanding.

Absolutely 100%. The other thing is that flat design brought a lot of low quality designers into the market because you could just add a few recommended spacing grids and flat colours and get a design out. But because the quality often was low, it forced collaboration for cross checking and that caused Figma and other software to come to the forefront.

So on one side we have folks saying we expect too much from OSS devs and we're burning them out. And then on the flip side in this post were saying they need to support a variety of compilers and endless hardware configurations.

It's still the case that since their inception, voting machines have been analyzed and described by the infosec world as a disaster.

This is awesome! I too have wanted to conquer the WASM dungeon but haven't dedicated the time myself to approach the project. I'm eager to look through this repo and learn a thing or two from it.
Figma is really slow on older computers. If your laptop is (say) 4 years old, it's entirely likely that Figma is not usable on it and so something like Mighty might make sense. But then when your power supply goes out and you replace the old laptop with even the cheapest Mac, suddenly you don't need Mighty anymore.
But Spotify is the same way. They underpay the artists in the market they dominate. Everybody with Monopoly in any market is abusing it and pointing fingers at the others.
98% of performance problems on my machine are traceable to a crappy Electron video communication app (skype) eating 4 cores and still having hiccups galore. Switching to a different app usually fixes the issue.

I'm pretty sure the average user cares about "hey this app sucks, but this other app gives me the same functionality without issue".

You can hope they never discover other apps for work-from-home, but frankly, if that's your business model, you're doing it wrong.
Yes a huge part of shell is parsing, and C is a bad language for that.

If you want POSIX shell you'll have at least 5K lines of parsing code; if you want bash it's at least 10K lines. It's closer to 20K lines of C in bash itself.

There's really no way around that, and IMO the best answer is to use a different language -- which is ALSO hard, because many language runtimes don't support fork() or signals in the way that a shell needs.

(e.g. CPython is actually closer than say Go because it supports fork() and exec(), but even it has issues with signals, EINTR, etc.)

Consider finding your “Why” first. Then decide what to do.

The method is really sound and you can do it within 2-3 hrs together with another person.

There is a book outlining the method. It’s called “Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team“.

I did it with 2 friends. It was pretty eye opening for them.

Yeah, it would be interested to compare annual spend on professional services versus TV consumption. I think the average ammerican now spends more than 40 hours a week watching TV, and social media consumption is on top of that.

This, as much as people may moan, is the answer. Either that or go subscribe to Nebula or whatever not-YouTube platform your favourite YouTube channels are publishing to.

Content production costs money, in some cases vast amounts of it, and while advertising is a terrible solution to that just not paying is an even worse one. If everyone blocks ads then nobody gets paid, and nothing gets produced.
I've actually known a few people involved (as employees) in these kind of frauds, and whistleblowers or some kind of stupid mistake can expose them certainly.

But the business cycle is what really clears even the most clever ones out.
It’s only obvious to you because it exists. Someone had to invent the novel concept. Often the simplest innovations are not obvious until they exist and they’re often the most powerful.
Recycling solar panels is tough because glass fines are created, often inseparable from items that adhere to them. Those fines don't currently have secondary demand and they're a health and possibly environmental hazard. The CAPEX for recycling panels is high because size reduction and separation requires expensive (and expensive to maintain) equipment. I expect companies like American Battery Recycling, et. al., to tackle this waste stream on as a natural adjunct to their battery recycling operations/systems. I'm not as optimistic that the waste won't be as bad as once thought because I envision the price of new panels to continue to fall, while efficiency increases. Could be a secondary market emerges for the old panels, but I'm skeptical.

To be clear, nobody, but nobody, is a bigger right-to-repair advocate than I am. And I walk the talk. I've shipped hardware whose user manual, at my insistence, included schematics.

But the last time I upgraded the RAM in a PC to keep from having to buy a new one was in the late 1990s, if I remember correctly.

The last time I upgraded the RAM in a portable device -- even a laptop PC, much less a phone -- to keep from having to buy a new one? That would be never... and I'd definitely remember that.

Forcing literally billions of users to pay more because a microscopic minority might want to upgrade their RAM is terrible business, and, frankly, terrible engineering. It's never going to happen again; the ship has sailed. Sorry.

Consistent with my comment. That they can't cut down eating doesn't mean the problem isn't overproduction.
You can try it out yourself. Probably you'll find that it looks complicated but is actually very simple and easy to use :)
In practice, aren't almost all of them either a bank themselves or partner one or more banks and auto-sweep customer deposits into these 'program banks'?

Sure it might be slightly more convoluted, but at the end of the day isn't this still customer deposits funding margin/loans?
Is there some data to confirm that? Both AMD and Intel just came out with their new 5Ghz+ CPUs. I doubt that even M2 is faster.
Hair splitting. My point is there are limits to even the law's tolerance of speech: extortion, threats, defamation, etc.

Regardless of the legal definitions, if someone does falsely yell 'fire' in a crowded place they'll experience unpleasant consequences. Similarly if they proclaim their hatred of group X or civil right Y at job onboarding then they shouldn't be surprised to find themselves escorted out.
> 1. Cost of living forcing both partners to work and have less time and energy

If both partners working = both partners employed, that seems to be the norm since the industrial revolution got underway (allowing for that post-WWII historical exception).

If both partners working = hours in labor, I can't recall a period with disproportional demands on time.

I think you're right about having less time and money; I think your #3 is closer to the cause. I'd phrase 3 to read:
