Having grown up poor & not a particularly attractive person every time I went somewhere (nice restaurant, store, bar, game) my inner monologue told me it was a waste of money, I should be working not relaxing and that people that belonged didn't want me there. Hard to enjoy something when this is your mentality. The attractive, well off person showed me that spending within reason wasn't something to have anxiety over, relaxation is the payoff to working hard and in almost all cases no one really cares if you're there (it's all in your own head).

The most tangible example is, we would go to a nice restaurant, the host would seat us (I was happy), she would ask for a table near the window or one away from the kitchen door (no hesitation). She would always order a fun or adventurous appetizer to try new things and not finish it if she didn't like it (we always ate everything on our plates no matter what). Also if things were taking too long. she never chalked it up to we're being slighted, she was just relaxed and filled the time with conversation

To use an analogy, if we were both in a river, I was anxiously fighting against, she was gliding with flow
This is a good and slightly random intro. Kind of nice that it tells you about stuff other than the borrow checker.

Minor nit though: Rust doesn't have exceptions.
I have an irrational aversion to sequencers so I've been working on rhythm synthesis using oscillators to build a drumming robot.
early prototype: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeHJXyyhJ70

Rather than operating on preset sequences, I'm using a series of oscillators in Puredata that can have their frequencies set to various ratios of a primary frequency. The oscillators get added together and a drum hit is triggered on the zero crossing of the result. The patterns can be modulated by changing the amplitude and phase of the oscillators in realtime. The early prototype was made in Puredata but now I'm trying to put all the rhythm synthesis into the robot microcontroller using the Mozzi library.

I'd love be able to initialize the oscillators with these Euclidean patterns and then be able to modulate them using the oscillator controls. I'm curious if any one knows of a way to take an existing drum pattern and calculate a small series of sine waves that would express that pattern. Kind of like FFT but for rhythms. This seems like something someone might have already figured out.
It still requires 0 to be represented as all bits set to zero.
Crypto’s best use case!
According to the final tweet in that thread [0] it seems like they are pivoting to a sort of AI generated art based social media platform. I’m curious why they think this has the potential to be a “mass market changing” business since the social media world seems pretty over saturated already

Cool, but we are talking about a PM tool here, so what really matters is people having no/slow internet for a short period of time.
I have quarter century of experience in software development and have been programming most days for the past 30 years. Can't say how I am stacking up against developers with same level of experience but I can say with no exaggeration that I do, in fact, have more experience and more valuable skills (as I am routinely called to help with failing projects) than most developers I am working with. Saying otherwise would be just false modesty.

Also stating that there exists something like "illusory superiority" does not mean there does not exist "superiority". Yeah, I also studied theoretical math.

Even though most drivers think of themselves as above average it absolutely does not mean that there do not exist superior drivers. An F1 driver can absolutely say he is a superior driver and it is completely true, factual and not driven by feelings of "illusory superiority".
Women who abandon children after birth still face consequences.

Before a child is born the mother faces significant risks to her health, mental well-being, relationships, and career if she gives birth.

It's reasonable then that women and their doctors have a final say in whether a pregnancy continues.
Someone suggested Go and I do believe it solves many of these problems in a nice way. IMHO, it’s a fun and reliable programming language.

However, you might also want to try some kind of PaaS. That can simplify those things, even for a Python application.

Fly.io is very nice[0]. AWS App Runner could be another interesting option.

Hope you’ll find something to your liking. Godspeed!

Rant:

Growth at all costs will ultimately wreck Apple.

It's past time for Apple to transition from a growth stock to a blue chip.

From stock buybacks to dividends (and higher wages).

From conquering every market and enemy to being a good shepherd of their existing products.

Cumulatively, dick moves like messing with Spotify and embracing ads harm Apple's hard earned branding.

I wish they'd redouble their focus on their customers and leave their (perceived) competitors alone.

There's SO MUCH left for Apple to do. Wearable and affective computing will be huge. Micromobility could be huge (pivot from Project Titan, h/t Horace Dediu). Personal health will be huge. I'm still waiting to backup my desktop to iCloud. And maybe there's a future IoT play (h/t Robert Cringely). I'm fairly bullish on AR too.

Etc.

Movies and music are nice. But they're not core customer needs. They're no longer forward looking.

And besides, Apple's UX for music and podcasts still sucks. Irredeemable. Stop sucking up all the oxygen and let some young bloods take a whack at the problem.
Hey.

The paper is discussing a hyper isolation that hasn’t often been seen historically. As stated, 1 in 10 Europeans didn’t see any friends or family outside of their household for an entire year.

I do agree with you that it’s ultimately apples and oranges to compare our current social state to our ancestors’.
Trying again, there's one point: What really made Figma successful is design moving from being made in "professional software" (like say Photoshop, Premiere, Visual Studio, Maya) to "collaboration software" (like Slack, Google Sheets), and that this was made possible because "flat design" is less technically demanding than the "skeumorphic" design it replaced.

(Sorry I wasn't clearer, I struggle on how to make points like this succinctly without is sounding a bit disjointed.)
Are there plans to reduce boilerplate on the UI? What about adopting the Elm architecture?

What about using egui, iced, etc? The problem is lack of integration with ECS, right? But you can still draw inspiration from them I guess?
for perspective, i built a personal crm that told you who to engage next (via a dynamic contact list powered by interaction data streams). it failed[0] because this was not actually the biggest pain point of sales people (folks most likely to use and pay for such a tool), and it was too important a decision point for users to rely on it solely.

a smart tool, it turns out, isn't all that useful, even though it has wow factor. it may even be enough of a wow to be an effective marketing tool, but an effective marketing tool is not an effective productivity tool.

Why? to know your enemies and friends share this technology is to succor temperment in your foreign and domestic political and military policy. in other words: Parity encourages clarity. That the United States specifically sees "technological advantage" as a blank cheque to blow up things and people it does not like.

to put it short, the reason we dont park aircraft carriers near china, or mine their ports as we did Nicaragua, is due to a technological parity that forces our statesmen to sobering and challenging political discussion.

learning radar means empowering nations to guard their airspace and detect an adversary, an achievement the US will fight to keep many other nations from gaining as it would see their exodus from the duly designated "evil countries" list.

Radar is an interdisciplinary adventure in electrical engineering and the material sciences as well as the further reaches of mathematics and physics. it is an enriching pursuit that enables independence and growth through learning and mastry. its uses are not strictly warlike, much to the scorn of ITAR.

Thanks. We're not doing a great job on the website copy. Definitely will look into it.
I understand what you are going through. Am in my 70's and took a long time to get past it. A few thoughts. While it is great to love your job, it is even better to have a job that you don't hate and that gives you the most money and free time to do what you figure out you want to do. I also suffered from very low self-esteem which really sucks.

I went to a few therapists and I did find one I could relate to, but it didn't make miracles happen. I do not think it is worth it.

I found a hobby I really liked - it is photographing birds in flight. It is hard to do well, but easy to do. I am not suggesting that, but as an example you can meet people through photography clubs, through Audobon field trips, through going to places where birds are spotted (ebirds.org). I am also, because of the birds, engaged in environment where I work with a community group of chemists, geologists, interested people. My skills in programming help with charting and anazlying results of samples we collect. Maybe you want to get in shape and meet people are 10K;s or play pickleball or rugby or whatever. Maybe you want to write and can get brave enough to expose your work at a writers club.

My point is that if work isn't it now, it pays the bills and use it as a means to make enough money to do something you think you really like. So photography, bird watching, running, team sports, teaching (think helping high school robotics team), any community group for any cause needs web designers, collecting things, model railroading, drones, flying. (My first non-work activity was flyiing and until I busted my medical was a great thing for me).

Nice catalog! YouTube channel discovery is terrible even for people already subscribed to channels. Simply clicking on English -> Photography brought me back to a few people I subscribe to but haven't checked out in over a year. They literally never surface in my recommendations even though I'm subbed.
There's an entire generation of Internet nerds that were raised on snark and sarcasm. That's how early Reddit felt, and you can still see it in action in this forum. I guess that's what happens when you discover the Internet in your "it's cool to hate" teenage phase.

It's like nerd catnip when you mix a deeply scientific expert, say in astrophysics, with sarcasm and cynicism. "They are so cocky it must be true. Also they're a physicist!"

Yes, and from that perspective the fact that it didn't work and nobody actually wanted it seems to indicate that it shouldn't have been embarrassing after all.
"the difficulty with finding truly transformative, great ideas is that they look pretty similar to bad ideas in the early stages" is one of pg's central theses that I couldn't disagree with more strongly, and the only conclusion I can come to is that pg's hubris is blinding him.

I don't think it's so much that you can't tell the difference between crazy bad and crazy good ideas in the early stages, it's that you're asking the wrong people. pg loves to quote the mythos that AirBnB was such a "crazy" idea early on that big VCs couldn't see the potential. But even in the early years, I don't think AirBnB was a big leap at all. Couchsurfing was already big, and platforms like HomeAway/VRBO had received huge funding rounds. pg was just asking the wrong VCs - not surprising that a bunch of rich old guys would be put off staying in someone's guestroom. Indeed, my understanding is that the first investor to really see value in AirBnB was very familiar with the vacation rental space.

In my opinion, the startups that were wildly successful weren't so much because they had "out there" ideas, but because their execution was unparalleled. Dropbox, Stripe, Figma, AirBnB, etc. just came out with products that were a delight to use when you first tried them in ways their competitors weren't.

Trying to be introspective, I think the event that most surprised me and seemed "crazy" was the election of Donald Trump in 2016. But again, I think i was just asking the wrong people. My circle of college-educated urbanites was basically unaware of the depth of some of the discontent with the status quo that Trump tapped into.
Depends. Are we apples to apples doing the same things and our work is bringing value only through programming, but I don’t like confrontation? Then no. It can of course be that the better negotiator is also a better communicator and acts as some type of team adhesive and then it is a different story.

> Game developers should be investing their time in open tooling without contracts or restrictive licensing

Unfortunately, this is not possible in consoles, because of issues with NDA. Even Bevy can't have an open licensing there: https://github.com/rust-gamedev/wg/issues/90 (Godot also can't: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/platform/co...)

I expect that Bevy ports to consoles will take a cut of sales rather than a flat fee :(

As other comment said, it's a vitamin, not a painkiller. And you can always buy a new computer or upgrade it. Would it really make me much difference to run a browser in a much more powerful computer than the one I'm at? Only in extremely limited situations

Props to Suhail for building in the open (takes a lot of rejection tolerance) and being so honest about the path.

That said, I work with lawyers as customers and I suspect there was an adjacent market in data privacy that a hosted browser would have had PM fit for.

A lot of industries have strict legal requirements on controlling employee access to data (think healthcare, legal, compliance). In these cases, SaaS becomes risky if it can be accessed by anyone off their work computer.

The standard solution is to limit the webapp to be accessible on VPN, and limit VPN to be accessible on MDM controlled devices, and limit MDM to be accessible on company owned devices.

It would be a lot easier to just control the browser viewport and prevent data harvesting (essentially what Mighty was doing, focused on performance).

Sounds like a small change, but it makes a world of difference when it's not feasible to send a physical machine to someone (3rd party contractors, overseas employees, low wage employees, etc)... something I discovered when talking to lawyers about using contractors overseas for routine data entry tasks.

But that's definitely not the same kind of user, or tech expertise and would have been a big pivot in itself. Hopefully someone buys the IP and builds something cool.
Constant temperature ovens are usually a well insulated box with an ohmic heater and do not emit a lot of heat to maintain their design temperature. Optical stuff is very high in frequency and requires high temp bi directional signal handling. These often need IS's based on ECL - a non saturating logic suitable for this, or possibly other SHF substrate based logic. Non saturating = always on = heat at all times. The whole bi-directional optical amplifier and signal processor can be in the 5-10 watt level. with most wasted as heat which in a small space is substantial.

For a long long time 9/10 of Europeans didn't leave their village for a multitude of reasons. If the village is small and remote enough that's functionally the same thing.

When you did leave you might not see your family and friends for years if you even managed to come back alive.

If you lived in a viking settlement or out in the wilderness of the Wild West or some secret monastery at the top of a mountain range in Tibet that's pretty damn isolated. Or a lighthouse. Or an island. 'etc.

I think this is the 8th separate attempt I've seen to get LLVM to output 6502 binaries. The others involved a presentation showing the issues involved and how the creator has got it mostly working and made a hello world app or simple game with it. After that the project disappears. Hopefully this time it'll be different.
Tinder and other dating apps are making it even harder...

People will say that it's because of the creeps etc, but as long as men have almost no matches if they don't pay, it's not going to lead to a good experience, which leads to even worse experience for women who won't use it.

Online dating deserves it's awful reputation.

It's time that a good documentary highlights how those platforms work.
> Brands can back out if and when that happens, no need to do it preemptively

Risk aversion is about doing or not doing things in _advance_ to avoid an undesirable outcome. There are plenty of places for them to advertise at, so it only makes sense to avoid risks on a platform that is (by design!) going through extremely turbulent and chaotic changes.

Remember, many of these advertisers have already reached out with specific questions and assurances and got the equivalent of a shrug and a blank stare from the new platform owner. This is already a "reactive" step.

I usually have no idea what superior and inferior are. A $50 Casio watch is a better timekeeper than a $20,000 Rolex, but it's not really superior is it?
> But all forms of coding and media editing (the main tasks that are truly CPU/GPU-bound, the area where something like Mighty would help) have remained as local desktop app affairs.

Media creation maybe, but I feel like professional software engineering might move soon.

At the beginning of the year I moved from a company where I worked entirely locally, running a local stack, developing in a local editor, etc, to a company where I work almost entirely non-locally. That happens to be on a box under my desk, but I only use it over SSH. It's beefy, and I could get an even beefier VM somewhere if I wanted. All my editing is now in a web-based VSCode instance which has been much closer to desktop VSCode I was using before than I expected. All my builds happen remotely. It's honestly an amazing experience. I think things like GitHub Codespaces have so much potential here.

"Experts once warned millions of tons of waste from solar panels was on the horizon"

Eh, no expert ever warned that. It was always an overblown issue, taken up by bored members of the press with deadlines to meet and column-inches to fill with words, shadow-funded by oil interest astroturf campaigns.
Since you haven't provided any information besides "Try it, you'll love it", I tried it, and I'm sorry to say our relationship didn't work out. My Notepad++ is more useful.

Is it really fair to call this an "alpha male" game? Alameda trading had a woman as the CEO. This is excluding the female and failing to recognize her contributions yet again.
There probably is a less nefarious reason here. They built a “send this song to Alice” feature but supporting it for non-Apple services is very tough. They will need to work with everyone to integrate it. It’s possible they haven’t gotten to it or Spotify hasn’t gotten to it or didn’t bother. We don’t know.
