This is impressive!

I’ll admit: My first reaction was: cool but why not just use qemu to get a more full fledged system, add rv64 etc?

But the readme explains it very well, I admire the dedication and consistency it takes to stick to rv32 no MMU only to be able yo fit it into very minimal environments in the end.

Agreed. I give them bonus points for using a pie graph to represent pizza, though.

Very, very little photography that you will ever see is untouched - from mild tweaking of curves to complete recomposition. This is what photoshop is for.

Ansel Adams, for example, used to dodge and burn extensively when printing, and is viewed as a master of the art - he was mostly really good at upping the drama by amplifying or outright inventing chiaroscuro.

My Biggest Lesson Doing a $10K in 30 Days Challenge
After getting laid off for the third time I decided I had enough of building other people’s dreams. I was going to go out on my own. The problem was I didn’t know what to build.

After a year of learning to build no-code apps, produce podcasts, create online courses, ebooks, e-commerce, and even learning how to create illustrations I was nowhere close to figuring it out.

Many solopreneurs want the autonomy of being self-employed, but the ramp up is brutal. I decided to do a $10K in 30 days challenge to see if I could figure it out.

It’s day 29. I’m at $3,646.57 with $23K in the pipeline. Two major meetings got rescheduled. It’ll take a miracle to make it, but with the internet you never know.

My strategy (below is my Hail Mary):

Come up with a variety of products/services at varying price points. I asked, what if I sold:

1 - $10K item (corporate workshop),
10 - $1K items (illustration packs),
100 - $100 items (info products/courses/coaching snacks),
1000 - $10 items (e-commerce)

Get the word out through sales (reach out to 50 people/week), social media, and podcasts

What actually happened:

50 outreaches/week was too many. 20/week is intense but doable

Launched 7 products (find most on Gumroad under michepriest)

Dropped the ball on podcasts

I sold a mix of everything except the corporate workshops.

My biggest lesson:

Reaching out to 100 people led to opportunities I could never have imagined.

1 potential license deal for my micro-coaching service Unstuck in 15 where I get people unstuck with 3 questions in 15 minutes

1 pack of Unstuck in 15 gift certificates for corporate gifts

3 collaborations for online courses

1 illustration pack which could end up being a long term contract

1 Upwork gig consulting on two AI products

Second biggest lesson:

Put as many buy button on the internet as possible and have big ticket items

Bonus: I learned what I want to offer that people actually want, who I want to serve, and got over my fear of publishing.

My Hail Mary:

Reach out to 100 connections in one day with an offer I believe they will find valuable

If you have any ideas for how I can earn $6,353.43 in sales in one day, I’m all ears. Whether I hit the target or not doesn’t matter. I’ve already won, but it would be fun to do so.
So, they're giving up their revenue to deny someone else's theirs?

it looks at the referer field in the http request to see where you came from, and for the existence of a scarlet cookie. if it's a place they don't like, it drops a scarlet cookie in your browser that says they don't like you and then redirects. if the cookie exists, it redirects regardless.

MS Teams is the buggiest thing I have ever had the misfortune to use. I have to log in daily to use it – the browser is a better option than the standalone client as it's easier to wipe everything and start again. Yesterday, I received the following errors during two meetings:

1) I was unable to login in Chrome – "An unexpected error has occurred"

2) In an incognito mode browser window, I was unable to login due to not permitting the use of 3rd party cookies, despite whitelisting those in Chrome's preferences

3) I wiped cookies all cookies and tried again in a normal window – I was able to log in, but when trying to have a call, I was told "This feature is only available in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge". I was using Chrome.

4) I therefore swapped to a chrome-based browser that spoofs its user-agent as the previous version, Iridium.

5) This enabled me to start a call. It worked fine, but during the process of the meeting, the mute/video/screensharing/leave bar completely vanished, leaving a black box at the top (and me unable to mute myself or share my screen)

6) During the next meeting, about 30 s after the end of the previous one (I refreshed the page to get the box back), the camera periodically turned off with the message "Your video isn't working. We couldn't access your camera".

7) I have previously emailed M$ support highlighting these issues. The response I received was "We are aware that Teams isn't perfect and are working hard to improve it continually".

It's not fit for purpose.
Yes,

Because contrary to whatever one thinks making frequent changes to a process doesn't mean automatic improvement. Staying at one place ensures I don't have to undergo pointless stress to prove myself to new managers over and over again. Plenty of time to exercise, take care of health, work on investment projects and more time for generating multiple streams of income.

Also lots of free time. All code written is the same, and after a while you stop being impressed by over working and wild wild west coding lifestyle. I'd like to have more time for what matters to my life.

The only catch is finding a place worthy of being a lifer at. I did find one, and sticking to it as long as I can. And yeah by the way, I have done the other side of things too- Sleeping 2 hrs/day, multiple side projects, start ups etc etc. It wasn't pleasant, and not very rewarding either.

Ask HN: I scanned an old paper book. How to turn it into an eBook?
Hi,

I have scanned a couple of books written by an ancestor.

He was not famous, and I doubt too many people are interested but I wanted to give the books a new digital life.
I think the enormous back catalog of things that have been published but then disappeared is sad.

Anyways I have a few hundred pdf files.
They have an image of the page and the OCR text.
The text will have to be edited by hand I think.
Its not in English.

I was wondering if anyone knew of scripts or applications that can take that as an input,
do some decent formatting and typesetting and spit out a couple of different formats of
eBooks at the other end.

There are photos and illustrations on some pages.
I am hoping to keep them.

The images are ok but given the curvature of the page, and other factors
the images are not I feel ready to be used.

I could try to cut and paste it all into Word

There is also an extensive cross reference and table of contents that I have no idea how to deal with.
I presume I will do it by hand but it would take a long time.

Anyways if you have any tips for me on how to take the raw files and make them into pretty, easy to read
eBooks that would be fabulous.
The link was entirely random to show a similar mass produced product, I didn't do much research.

You can search for NFC ones on the same website, they're a few bucks more.

There are also Bluetooth variants which is more friendly to hacking at home (update over the air from farther away) but those look pricier.
It's really an opposite of anonymously as you have to pay for publishing using your credit card.
How slow is it? And why bother when you could run ffmpeg natively and just send it commands from the browser (even suing something as primitive as custom URI)
Totally agree with you. I don’t really need more features (maybe +2 page rules?) but having a way to give back without paying per site would be awesome.
> Very rarely do you need to update a page once it's been posted so we punted on that feature for now.

According to Telegram's own priorization, privacy is its second most defining feature after simplicity.

It is not by accident that people think that Telegram is focussed on privacy.

They can have pitfalls is a better way to think about it. Inheritance has a similar penalty.

The potential problem is that JS engines only see the ‘shape’ of an object. That is the members and member order. Which is slightly more strict that TS’s structural types where order doesn’t matter. So union variants and subtypes are each different shapes if they have different members or member order.

Shapes are important for function calls. Objects property access is optimised based on the number of ‘shapes’ that have been seen. Into the following:

Monomorphic - It’s seen only 1 shape and can access the properties by offset directly.

Polymorphic - A small inline cache of several shapes. Access is a lookup into this. Slightly slower.

Megamorphic - A lookup into a global table. This is a performance cliff.

So if you have lots of functions that take a tagged union or base class *and at runtime* they see lots of different types passed in *and this is in a hot path* they can be a problem.

You're the only one in this discussion talking about crop land. To focuse solely on crop land and ignore pastures is misleading.

> Eloff: ... won't need to raise animals or food for animals ... we could rewild huge parts of the Earth

> randomdata: probably not ... 36% of the cropland is used for animal food ...

Even if we kept all the arable land for human consumption (to compensate for missing meat, assuming the lab-grown meat will take some time to scale) we'd have 3.3 billion hectares of pastures to rewild/reforest. Or we could reforest those 35% of arable land we use for growing animal feed and instead use a fraction of pastures for nuts/fruit production.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-pasture

Forests cover 40 mil. km2, and animal agriculture takes 37 mil. km2. Majority of plant-based foods is produced on 11 mil. km2. By switching to plant-based we could increase forest cover from 40 mil. km2 to 70+ mil. km2.

"We might even address the very real disaster scenarios presently threatening the world with questions like these: "What if you could make a simple and compassionate change in your life that would increase available farmland, increase available clean water, reduce rainforest destruction, reduce greenhouse gas production, reduce the threat from antibiotic-resistant bacteria, decrease land and waterway pollution, prevent creation of ocean dead zones, end your participation in the deaths of sentient individuals and increase overall human health by switching to a plant-based diet? Would you do it?” This is the reality we actually live in, and this is the choice each one of us faces."

OFF-TOPIC: we should reforest some deserts/barren areas as well
Making your own class names arent a standard either. I dont see why you would reinvent and abstract things over and over again in every project?

> So many careers are being ruined before they’ve even started because data science kids went straight from undergrad to being the third data science hire at a series C company

This is something that bothers me about the industry in general, but thankfully seems rare inside tech giants.

My perception is that VC companies in pursuit of the next unicorn idea believe it can only come from a young mind, and so pile money and opportunities onto young people who aren't ready for that responsibility. Either they crash and burn, or they are carried over the finish line by multiple investment rounds then swan off, thinking they did it all themselves, to go through the experience again as an angel investor.
> They've never taken issue with other OSes running on their hardware.

What on earth are you talking about, iPads, iPhones and all other new devices from Apple outright lockout any kind of 3rd party OS from booting on them.

MacBooks are the only ones grandfathered into old behaviour of actually allowing 3rd party OSes (although they've also lost the ability to boot Windows in latest generation as well).

Ask HN: Why didn't dynamically linked dependencies become standard on Android?
Almost no apps use dynamically linked dependencies. While developing an application, you often have to build and ship hefty 10MBs of libraries and SDKs, that probably a lot of other apps use as well. Analytics and SaaS backends Like Firebase come to mind. I know there could be worries about version conflicts - but think about all the storage space that could be saved!
There is a big difference between anti vecicle and anti personal mines.

First, they are way easier to detect, as they are bigger and have more metal/explosives to spot.

Also the risk is minimized for the people clearing those mines, if they know they only have to deal with the big ones.

Secondly, it is easier and more practical to mark a field as not save for big vecicles for some time, compared to unsafe for everyone. (schoolbuses usually don't drive through fields)

So yeah, ideally we would not have any kind of mines or war, but we do. And when you want to stop lots of russian tanks for example, I totally would use anti tank mines.

They just won't cripple random children, like the anti person mines will do.
And you can clear them out quite easily and safe with just a metal detector and a minimum of training.

But if you have a field with both types of mines, yeah than it is really expensive and dangerous to clear it. And I am amazed by the concept of using rats for help.

And about the self destroying mines - if they would always work like this, it is indeed a big improvement. The concept that they only can go off as long as the battery has power, sounds quite failproof. I remain sceptical though.
It is irksome to me given how much Linux is used inside Apple (board bringup, debugging, etc). You benefit from these gifts, Apple, give back a teensy bit in return. Everybody wins.
Check out “childhood emotional neglect” and “complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD)”. There are lots of books, websites, and forums about this.

Your chronic feeling of emptiness and lack of joy indicate that you have turned off your emotions, maybe in early childhood, maybe to block out a traumatic experience or because your family ignored you and so emotions felt useless.

Look for a therapist who specializes in these issues. You will probably need to try out multiple therapists before you find one for you.

Sounds like you have a lot going for you. It is really common with these issues to have low self-esteem, to feel lots of shame, to feel hopelessly broken, etc, but other people probably do not see you like that.
I wonder if you could recreate this today using a CSP to limit things like JavaScript and online CSS while retaining the simplicity of the design.
Please note that Neil Strauss has said that pickup artistry destroyed his ability to relate to women and remain faithful to his wife, and that he seems to regret it. I'm only so familiar with his work, but my understanding is that he didn't know what to do when he met a woman he actually cared for, and that he couldn't "turn off" his objectification of women and his desire for sexual conquest.

I'd really encourage people to steer clear of pickup artistry, especially people who feel they are in a vulnerable frame of mind. The central goal of pickup artistry is to manipulate women into lowering their expectations rather than being a partner who fulfills their needs. And that's just not a recipe for happiness in the long term. (And it's not an okay way to treat people either.)
Oh what a great idea! I hope this can get mainlined someday(perhaps behind a config option) since Eglot should benefit from that approach as well!

> That spark of chaos that brings curiosity back in and depression out.
> It's not what I do, it's the degree of freedom that I felt in doing it.

This rings true to me. In the depths of depression, I find that curiosity gets replaced with a self-fulfilling, self-defeating, yet overly self-confident prophecy -- that every new experience will just be a rebranding of something I've already experienced. I'm sorry to hear you've struggled in a similar way, but happy to hear you've found hope somewhere in the chaos. Thank you for the wisdom.
This post would benefit from a summary at the top. It's hard to extract facts from all the fluff.
I enjoyed reading your blogpost. Thanks for sharing!
Yup, I got that :) What I was asking is if Companies House was the kind of thing we talking about. So yes, the UK has left the EU, but was Companies House brought up at the time to be in compliance with EU regulations — or even, is it the same thing we're talking about, regardless of the UK's EU status.

Because if it is, then I'm glad the EU at least is getting rid of things like that.
I change jobs just for the variety. After 3 years with a company I don't believe in, dealing with crappy management and piss poor products, at least doing it all over again somewhere else is new for a little while. Plus you can get that salary / title bump by moving.

I'm honestly just waiting for inspiration to quit my job and start homesteading or something. I don't mind becoming a joke as long as I don't have to deal with the monotony of endless subpar commercial bullshit.
A big part of avantgarde music is also conceptually connected to the philosophical and artistic movements of their times, e.g. postmodernism so some of what you critique it for might be the declared goal of the people making it.

On top of that the people making something will often find different aspects interesting than the people consuming something. Musicians have different ears when listening because they have listened much more focused to potentially much more music. Just like a programmer can find value in someones weird experimental github repo that seems like a waste of time to the layperson, musicians can find value in music and sounds the typical music consumer finds actively horrible.

Let's not forget the avantgarde is about trying new things out. And those attempts are bound to fail a lot of the times. The professional or academic world might be interested in those attempts. Film students might find interesting ideas in obscure european film makers etc. This is normal, they look for something else in films than someone who seeks some entertainment after work.
