This is a concept I almost pursed for my PhD over a decade ago. I’m still surprised no one has done this.

The bigger picture: context is often missing for anything complicated, be it software or a new law. Yet many hands touch and retouch the underlying material over time. If you could capture _how_ something was built, and had enough insight into the larger process to sample some of the _why_, then you could both know what changed together and what potentially impacted the final decisions. This would result in (hypothetically) tremendous gains for anyone working on or joining a project that’s bigger than can fit in the mind of one person.
He's a specialist in bankruptcy and liquidation administration. Essentially the debtors have appointed him to take over and identify what can be sold or salvaged. He gets paid out of whatever funds he can find.
I don't think it's unrealistic to think you can get a 30% pay bump by taking another job, or that asking for 30% over what you might think is "fair market rate" for your skills is a bad idea
The purpose of cutting that division is not optimizing the government's revenue, it's optimizing the revenue of their campaign backers.

This isn't a policy that was adopted just because, it's the reason the party gets money (As opposed to stuff like the culture war, which is just the excuse that drives the base out to vote).
I enjoy how they state like 3 times that code reviews should be synchronous, yet "industry-standard" (aka: what people really do) is to toss it over the fence in a PR and go back and forth for several days with stylistic bullshit.

That's not true - people should stop mindlessly parroting it.

Glenn Ellison is the department head of the Econ school, Gary Gensler worked in the business school. In any case, department heads aren't the "boss" of the rest of the professors in any sense familiar to the corporate world. They're just professors with administrative responsibilities and the point-of-contact to the Dean's office.

That doesn't sound like the best ratio to me, but I don't know what you are running or how good your deploy process is at catching issues. With a 4 person team, you are probably better off discussing risky/bigger changes as a whole team, and allowing 1 review for smaller, less risky changes with well defined rollback processes.
I live in an area of SF that has seen a number of Pakhtun refugees and ex-ANA servicemembers in the aftermath of the collapse. Listening to some of their first hand stories it's also pretty clear the Americans stopped supporting them towards the tail end of the conflict (late 2020-21). A common complaint I heard from them was a lack of access to ammunition along with the lack of air cover (which was essential for keeping the Talibs at bay). Also, the Amreekis didn't really seem to cultivate the right people or even really try to understand on-the-ground realities that other factions (Iran, CIS, Turkey, Pakistan, India) tended to understand.

As with everything it depends. The heirloom varieties that make it to grocery stores (at least in the Bay Area) have a short enough window each year that they're definitely not being kept in cold storage for too long. The window of availability for something like Gravensteins and Pink Pearls out here is about a month.

The sweetest apples you're talking about are probably the mealy ones folks are complaining about (although some varieties are more prone to becoming mealy than others).
IRC has seen a gentle resurgence, as had the fediverse, largely because the friction (and basic knowledge) required to get on and participate is too high of a bar for a significant percentage of the population.
One thing I've enjoyed where I am now is that PR comments come in two flavors. The first, actual feedback. The second, borderline pedantic issues that are prefaced with "nit: " in the comment. Nit comments are safely ignored but are there so that if the author wants to put in that change while changing some other issue, then OK.
2019 MB Pro with an i9 with 32G of RAM

You know that's a very expensive laptop, right? Like more expensive than 99.9% of all laptops. Of course you don't have a problem.

I think Mighty was always a weird project that pretty much only solved a problem for people that would never be willing to pay for it.

Amen. If it could have been, say, $10/month or less it would have been great for people who can't afford a fast computer.
What the ever loving fuck are you on about?
AMD has them beat on battery life too, Intel just keeps pushing up TDP to try to get perf back even though their node size is bigger and their fab tech is behind. It looks good on paper to call this a "14-core laptop" too but really it's more like an 8-core with a 6-core co-processor.

I like this in general, but $2400 + $100 shipping for an i7-12700H / 32GB DDR5 / 2TB 980 Pro / non-OLED display is a bit high. I'm personally waiting for this Vivobook Pro 16x to drop later this year: https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-creators/vivobook/vivobook-...

- Ryzen 9 6900HX (8-core / 4.9Ghz)
- RTX 3060 / 6GB GDDR6
- Choice between 4K/60 OLED or 3200x2000/120 OLED, both with >=550nits and TUV cert
- 2x NVMe slots so 8TB max SSD?
- 90whr battery
- The current model is $1650 / free shipping on Amazon so expected pricing is the same as it replaces that model (current: M7600RE-XB99, new: M7601)

For $2400 you can get a ProArt Studiobook H5600QR-XB99 with Ryzen 9 5900HX | 64GB | 2TB | RTX 3070 or for $2200 (on sale right now) a Razer Blade 14 with 6900HX |RTX 3070 Ti| 14" QHD 165Hz | 16GB DDR5 RAM | 1TB, so those are what this is competing with, and those others come with Windows licenses too (it looks like the Vivobook MIGHT be available without an OS, but no word on what configurations offer that).

Ask HN: Feedback for my microSAAS product idea
This is a request to get feedback on the value proposition of my product InMemory - https://inmemory-beta.webflow.io/

InMemory is a platform for managing special occasions of your customers - tracking the special occasions, automating engagement touchpoints and building workflows for sending online as well as physical gifts to your customers.

I'm at a very early stage in my journey and would like to get your feedback on "does this offering seem useful to you and would any of you be interested in buying it for your business."

The way it would work is:

Step 1 : Integrate CRM
Data of the birthdays, anniversaries any other special occasions of your customers shall be ingested in InMemory from your CRMs directly along with their delivery addresses, email, phone number - whatever is your modus operandi of communication with your clients.

Step 2 : Build Workflows
You can setup automated online workflows for preparing templates and sending them personalized emailers, skype messages, whatsapp messages, SMS, (any other communication tools that would be predominantly used)

Step 3 : Send Gifts
In the workflows, you can also send e-cards or physical gifts to your customers. You can choose from the supported marketplaces, pre-pay the amount and on the day of the occasion, the gift would be sent to your customer.

Please share your thoughts, comments or feedback on what you feel about this concept.
I'd also love to buy some of your time to discuss a detailed feedback if any of you find this idea promising and provide you a free credits and access to the alpha for 6 months as soon as it is ready.

Looking forward to your honest feedback !
I've had some spectacular Golden Delicious apples. I hypothesize that these otherwise mealy apples in the right condition have a soft pearish texture rather than a crisp cucumber-like one, but it is a fragile structure that degrades more rapidly.
I don’t know of an authoritative source. You can pay verisign or commercial entities to track this.

All the blockchain serves as is an agreed upon common entity that isn’t controlled by a particular company.

It would be nice if governments would issue keypairs and serve as an authoritative source. Sadly, I’ve been waiting 25 years.

That's still a very small subset of a very small market. I highly doubt it would be even remotely viable to develop a product comparable to M1/M2 Macs if you're targeting the Linux market. Even if you can get decent margins the scale is just no there. At best you can get some rebadged Windows laptops like HP Dev One.

Framework is probably an exception but I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of those who bought it still use Windows

> There’s always the issue with comment-code disagreement.

You just mentioned mathematical articles where the math expressions are a minority of the text, right?

> But mainly the point is about the language itself and the prioritization of terseness over unambiguity and intuition.

Math notation had - and keeps having - reason to be terser than plain text. Same for APL - which started life as "Iverson notation".

> Good mathematical notation strives for the latter, not the former.

Don't you think APL is a pretty good mathematical notation? If not, why?
Its not a complicated story.

Last week: "FTX lent customer deposits to Alameda research. Both FTX and Alameda are owned by SBF".

This week: "Alameda research issued personal loans to SBF".

We've gone from "SBF probably stole everyone's money" into "SBF definitely stole everyone's money". There's not much else to say, honest. I guess you can dig into the details more-and-more and try to figure out how various groups will deal with the fallout, but that's really not the important bit here.
He’s there on behalf of the new owners (the people who FTX owed money to) and his job is to untangle what happened, see what can be salvaged if anything, and then part up the carcass and dispose of it. Read his filing and in the first three pages he explains what he’s doing there and what his priorities are. He’s basically a trusted neutral party who’s made a career of stepping in to sort out messes like this. A very niche career track and nothing like the job of a CEO in a healthy organization. More like part forensic investigator, part salvage operator, part corp lawyer.
Yeah, that sounds about right to me. I used to help edit Testing on the Toilet and there were a lot of internal-tool-specific ones that we never made public. When we were low on content, we would happily publish an issue about someone's internal service/project, for example. It's not that we were trying to hide something, it would just be completely useless to the outside world.
Can you imagine if the resources allocated to "social justice" were allocated towards the poor and others in dire need?
I agree that anything that _could_ be covered by an automated check ought to be. But don't think I'm convinced that everything else is either an egregious mistake or isn't worth discussing.

IMO a big part of what you ought to be reviewing for is readability, which does sometimes overlap with personal preference. But there's a spectrum from "I'd indent these columns a little differently" to "it's hard for me to follow what's happening, I think it'd be clearer if we organized things like...".
They aren’t all the same thing. A diff (or patch) is a change to the code that’s not tied to the history in any place. Linux kernel patches and Meta diffs are like this.

Pull Requests and Merge Requests are more complicated, and the unit of change is a branch. Many people reject this workflow because ultimately a branch of commits can be summed to one single diff and that’s the only thing that matters in the wider project, outside of your private branches on your personal machine.

GitLab doesn’t support anything other than merging hence the name. Most people who prefer linear history will never merge. Instead they’ll land their change on the tip of the branch, each developer taking it in turns to advance the linear history one step at a time.

I don’t know about changelists or change requests.
Taking a fact raised in another comment and returning the discussion to books, information, and its access:

Total bookstore sales in the US are apparently on the order of $9 billion annually.

<https://www.statista.com/statistics/197710/annual-book-store...>

Dividing by a population of 333 millions, we arrive at an annualised per-person book sales figure of just over $27. For a family of four, that's less than $110 annually.

Discussions of books, other content, copyright, and authors almost always descends into lamentations of "but authors should be paid". Those lamenters at the same time seem utterly insensitive to the fact that many millions of people in the US, and billions worldwide, could have access to information but do not, because of an industry-driven interest, largely of publishers rather than authors, on insisting on direct, per-copy, payment for works. This utterly obsolete practice has an enormous deadweight cost in loss of access to information.

I'd given household and family bases above, but the fairer allocation would be based on income or even wealth. I'm sticking with income as those values are easier to find.

Total household income in the US is ... let's call it $9 trillion.[1] So that the $9 billion in book sales is 1/1,000 of household income, equivalent to a taxed rate of 0.1%. The median household earning about $63,000 could have unlimited access for only $63 a year, or $5.25/month. Households falling below the median would pay even less, and I'd suggest a progressive scale to ensure that this fall to nil for lower incomes generally.

That would provide all the present income to authors and publishers, access to unlimited books (I'm assuming digital formats), and lift those deadweight losses, free up access to materials presently under copyright but not available for purchase at all, and much, much more.

Publishers would lose no wealth. Though I strongly suspect we'd discover that what in fact motivates them is power and control.

I have a golden delicious tree in my yard, and the apple are amazingly good. I wonder if there isn't a bias against apples like red delicious, yellow delicious and Granny Smith that store very well and may be getting stale at the time of purchase. For example, mealiness is usually an indication that an apple is getting stale.

Hey folks I wrote this guide as a reference for moving our agencies projects from Wordpress to Directus.

Directus is a nodejs based open source headless CMS. Not a direct Wordpress competitor but nonetheless it is a very solid headless CMS.

In this guide I tackle issues such as:

- Does it support custom fields(like ACF)

- How is the API?

- How are the docs?

- How does media management work?

..etc.

This guide started out small but snowballed into a 3000+ word article. If you're planning to move to Directus, I hope this guide is helpful.
This article from about ten years ago asserts that "a highly cohesive story [was] emerging regarding the etiology and treatment of ADHD": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2894421/ and gives an overview of that etiology, which concerns norepinephrine and dopamine in the prefrontal cortex.
This is a great release! Now we have a way to share code between our CI and Terraform (we use CDKTF).

Imagine this scenario:

1. You onboard new developers and their on-boarding task is to add their name and public key to a DEVELOPERS.ts constants file

2. git submodule update your CDKTF repo and spin up a new dev box / playground for them to use

3. git submodule update your CI scripts and now your Dagger repo/definitions can deploy to said dev boxes

All with one source of truth (DEVELOPERS.ts), type-safety, and version-control!

Not to mention, if you wrote your server code in TypeScript, there's a lot of options here.

The great part is you can do this in any of the matrices of languages that are shared between these tools.

It seems like it might be easy to confuse things, but from experience, it isn't.

I feel like in general, you're making a lot of (fairly reasonable) assumptions about what programming in an array language is like, but they aren't really the case (as lots of other people have tried to explain). Without really trying it out, I'm not sure how someone could convince you otherwise, so there's a bit of an impasse.

I think you should listen to what people are saying and have said in the past though (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33640275, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22524918) and trust that for some people who do learn array languages, they do find it useful + productive, and a lot of the things you've raised are not issues in practice.
