Sorry if it might look subjective or raw, but I think the problem here is, as you greatly highlighted, the entrepreneurial porn bullshit existing on the Internet.

The thing is almost everyone wants to get the saint Graal, financial freedom blah blah... and thus, the same people overthink the life to find problems to solve where in reality, the problem is not worth solving.
Nevertheless, I like your point since it is rare to see *real* posts of someone giving up and realising their errors.

Your second paragraph is important and I hope more people could realise that Product Hunt is mainly full of junk, from raw copies of existing and successful products to fake comments.
Every time I open Product Hunt and click on some random product, I can clearly see comments that are unrealistic, and it contributes to this idea of "everything is. problem to solve".

At the end of the day, the real freedom for someone is finding who they really are, and thus what they have to do to be happy, because once you do something you like, you will feel free.

Once again, I am glad you realised your mistakes and hope you can find your way in this world. However, don't give up forever, you never know the future /shrugh.
For sure. You don't want to get some dicey supply that might burn your house down. I got a Mean Well LRS-200-5 Switching Power Supply from Mouser (200W at 5V = 40A !!!). Mean Well makes quality supplies at reasonable prices and are a popular brand with the WLED crowd. Be sure to buy the 25cent piece of plastic that snaps over top of the AC terminals so you don't electrocute yourself. And get some inline fuses while you are at it to be on the safe side (unless you are getting something like a QuinLED board that builds that in). You'll also want some terminal to barrel connectors to.

I have a C project I picked up (and got working thanks to help from HN users) that was heavily dependent on Autotools. I wanted to be able to compile it under Windows and couldn't make heads nor tails of it. After guessing and tweaking a config.h file to replace the one it didn't create, I was finally able to get gcc to compile everything using a batch file.

Eventually I'll be purging Autotools, make and all build systems, replacing it with a single batch file that wipes the slate then compiles. It only takes a few seconds to run, and removes a huge set of dependencies.

I hope to port the code to run under the Cosmopolitan library so I can be cross-platform and more.
Seriously!! There’s something special about spending an afternoon taking photographs and only returning with half a dozen exposures. You really wanted to make every one count. And looking at that ground glass is like nothing else.

And then my favourite part was printing the photos by hand in the dark room. Total blissful, single-minded concentration. I don’t think I have felt more at peace than when I was printing.
Ask HN: How do you keep track of all the content you encounter?
I spend a lot of my time looking at HN, reddit, and a lot of other aggregation sites to find new cool projects or ideas. I have hundreds of browser bookmarks, my pocket saves are unwieldy, and a ton of different github stars.

How do people keep track of everything they're encountering? Like sometimes I'll see something and it will remind me of a post or project I saw months ago, but it's almost up to chance if I'm able to find it again or link the two concepts together.
And once you realize that nearly all renewable energy production has a marginal cost of zero, then it quickly becomes the overwhelmingly best idea for energy storage.

All seriousness aside, Mistborn (Era 1) is fantastic, especially as an introduction into Sanderson's world. Part of the reason it's great is because he was able to write all three books at once -- book 1 went to print as book 2 was in editing stages and as he was wrapping up the first draft of book 3. That means he was able to keep it tight and put proper foreshadowing and have everything kind of work out really well. You can see in his other books that it hasn't worked out quite as well. They're all good books, but Mistborn stands out to me as fantastic because of that.

But back to my serious joke, read more! Sanderson's a great author, but he's far from the only good one, and there are some truly brilliant folks out there that just aren't as good at marketing themselves as Sanderson is, and they deserve recognition and more for their good work too!

It does. I've done it, starting with their x11_rawfb demo. It's pretty nice, but I've personally switched to using LVGL (https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl) for the OS I work on, as I find it a better fit for the purpose. I do still have a soft spot for Nuklear though, and depending on what you're trying to do with your OS, could also be a good fit. Really not hard to get it going if you don't mind implementing your own keyboard/mouse driver layer.
Assuming your question isn't snark, you could try reading The Emperor's Soul. It's a short novella, so you can finish it in a 2-3 hour reading session. And it will give you a taste of his writing style as well as a metaphysical primer to his Cosmere universe.

Isn’t pretty much all infinity focus infinite depth?
Since being alive is what most people cherish, time before birth is an unconscious countdown to this nice state. Whereas time before death is a conscious countdown to have it taken from you.

That both times are a "period where you're not alive" isn't enough to make people treat them equally. It's the difference in context that matters. Else one might ask "why people aren't afraid of kitchen knives when they're cooking, but are when a serial killer charges at them with one?"

People wouldn't give a fuck about the time after their death if it was in the past, like their time before birth always is while they are alive.

I've read this book a couple of times, with my most recent re-read being within the last year or two. So I guess that means that I, for one at least, find something of value in SofM even now.

So the question then might be "what do you find valuable in it?"

That would take a lot of words to answer fully, but let me start by saying that I agree with a lot of the other comments in on this post. The theory, inasmuch as you can call it that, isn't super concrete, isn't necessarily something you can implement directly as such, does mostly lack any kind of experimental evidence, and is kind of hand wavy. Sooooo... what value does it have?

Well for me it's mostly something I look at as inspirational from a very high-level, abstract point of view. It strikes me as more of a framework that could support very many theories, rather than a specific realizable theory. But I believe that there's something fundamentally correct (or at least useful) about the idea of a collections of semi-autonomous agents collaborating in a style akin to SofM. And on top of that, I think there are at least a handful of specific notions contained in the book that might be realizable and might prove useful. If you want a specific example, I'd say that I think something like K-lines may prove useful.

Of course I have no experimental evidence, or much of anything else beyond intuition, to support my beliefs in this. And I'm just one random guy who's pretty much a nobody in the AI field. I just sit quietly at my computer and work, not really trying to attract a lot of attention. And in the process of doing so, I do occasionally consult Society of Mind. YMMV.

And just to be clear in case anybody wants to misinterpret what I'm saying. It's not my "bible", and I'm not a Minsky acolyte, and I don't consider SofM to be the "be all end all" any more than I consider A New Kind of Science, Godel Escher, Bach, Hands on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras & Tensorflow, Computational Approaches to Analogical Reasoning: Current Trends, or Parallel Distributed Processing, Vol. 1: Foundations to be the "be all, end all". I'm all about applying Bruce Lee's mantra:

"Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it."

In Canada, if you have a P. Eng, you can do that (and, in fact, must).

(I don't know how many software developers have P. Engs though. The regulators try to extend the coverage of their regulation to encompass software and tech, but at the same time ignore a lot of tech companies and workers operating without license. They also tend to write rules with an implicit assumption that all engineers are working in big utilities or mining companies, making it very hard for tech workers to jump through those hoops and get licensed.) /rant

> But also, at the same time, the small ethical run business is more likely to survive

This isn't really true, either, though. Even a small mom-and-pop shop won't be kept in business by a single customer choosing to shop there. Unless we are talking about a speciality shop that only has a few customers, one customer is never going to make or break a retailer.

Now, of course you can argue "yeah, but if 50 other people do the same thing then the store will survive!", which is true, but again, my choice doesn't really change anything. My choice to shop there or not doesn't have any affect on the other 49 people, and if the store would survive with 50 customers, it will survive with 49. My choice doesn't matter to either store.
Wow. I always was flummoxed by the first part of the story, especially by the fox thinking about hobbits sleeping under a tree. It just feels to be out of place in the book. An echo of The Hobbit. But if the real story of LOTR started later it becomes clearer.
`{}.first` works, so no reason why `{}.last` shouldn't. I would argue, though, that it's best not to rely on hashes for ordering, though that's a relatively loose preference, and I've certainly use it for quick 'n' dirty scriptss
I have a friend who used to work in accounting at Uber freight, and he said it was the only division that actually made money at all, and even that was quite poor. If it were not for mountains of VC cash keeping these things going they would simply fail, good UX or not. Unit economics are the physics of the business world, and Uber and lift just simply have shitty numbers full stop.

The VC money has let these companies escape gravity for this long but it likely won't last forever.

AFAIK, most of them are actually warehouse employees at entry-level wages that ship his books/swag from his online store and other endeavors, and also handle the kickstarter fulfillment process, versus white-collar jobs like editors and artists and so on. It's still impressive to have 60 employees, though, especially as an author (Robert Jordan only had four, to my knowledge).

It's not a lie. It just says that under any set of constraints you define, a free market will arrange itself in the optimal way. The market, by itself, is blind, and its optimal state is as good as your constraints. Under no constraints, the most efficient "eigenfunction" of the market is one uber monopoly.

Less than 1% of abortions occur in the third trimester. I'd imagine nearly all of those are because the mom's life is in jeopardy.

There are a bunch of really stupid US state laws that just got passed that prevent doctors from removing a miscarried fetus until sepsis develops. Pretty barbaric - and these infections can often render the mother infertile, which feels extra cruel.

I'm sorry to hear it. I find HN a useful (though sometimes frustrating) resource, despite being completely disconnected from the business side of things. If you were hoping to get connected with the business side by joining the community and feel frustrated by invisible (but quite solid) social/economic barriers, I can see why you'd feel quite frustrated. There has always been a tension between 'hack the planet, use technology to change the world' ethos and the 'I made $1m in 6 months by monetizing kindness.'

Depending on your motivations and aspirations, the upset you feel might be an example of Promethean punishment. When I find myself feeling angry a lot on HN (whether that's a reflection of content or my own emotional state) I just stop posting for a week or two. I hope you'll come back after a break rather than just give up on it.

Search "ESP RGB" on AliExpress. There's a $2 breakout board for the ESP-01 that makes it really easy to run LED strips. All you have to do it power it with 5V and the board converts it for the ESP.

You can pause your main loop when there is no input or animations that would require a redraw. That saves a lot of CPU when the app is idle. You need to run on mouse moves if you want hover effects though.

Same reason why people would contribute to an open source compiler and toolchain and distribute for less than the cost of the old school paid compiler vendors like Borland. These contributors aren't really in the business of selling compilers and simply have strategic reasons to drop the floor of that market as much as possible. The same applies to RISC-V cores, with probably the most prominent example being Alibaba/T-Head and their open source cores.
Basically, No, IMO. I do embedded systems. Most of the important differences, would be covered under the peripheral side. Assuming you move to a drastically different ARM chipset, there would be no difference.

As disappointing as it may be to some people, architecture rarely winds up mattering much (although you might be able to argue that some elements that make it into the peripherals are "architectural"). At least for software developers, there will never be a reason to dig into architecture. Maybe for some stuff interrupt, or hardware exception related.

I've found that the specific chipset and compiler tend to be more important for software developers working close to hardware. Even ASM code probably won't really matter, unless you plan to heavily rely on it; I would guess it could come into play if you plan on writing heavy ASM code, which I doubt you'd ever do on a modern architecture... maybe you're REALLY trying to save memory, or think you can improve CPU performance for some reason. Seems far fetched in almost every application, but I bet people out there are doing it for good reasons.

Of course, there may always be little places where you end up doing stuff with ASM, but again IME they tend to be where the peripherals and architecture meet.

You'd have a better argument saying Google Container Engine isn't Linux.

(Because it ain't; the "kernel" of a container running on Google Cloud is a userspace application called gVisor. It's just compatible with Linux syscalls. gVisor happens to run on Linux currently, but I don't see why they couldn't port it, you pretty much just need a KVM- or ptrace-like API, and Go platform support.)

How could he not trust them in the first place? C-level executives are on the record, before Congress, with the biggest and brightest politicians around, saying everything should be regulated, including themselves. They're actively projecting that they acknowledge the general sleaze surrounding the crypto industry and they are not a part of it.

Think about it this way. Most ideas are garbage. But people are always looking for good ideas. If your ideas can’t hack it in the local scene, that’s to everyone’s benefit that only a small local audience has to deal with your rubbish. But if you rush your ideas to the global audience, you’re adding to a huge trash pile. Even if your ideas are good at this point, you are still going to need boosters in order for them to be found - and when they’re not you’re contributing to the burying of good ideas. That’s why you should start in the local community.

On a more personal note. If you think you community sucks, change it. Easier said than done, I know, but the alternative, resignation such as you have displayed, is repulsive.

Much like movies today, if the sequel comes out long enough after the original, and you want to target the SAME people, you go from children/YA to adult.
