> Modi's openly aggressive nationalism

I'd caution people against forming strong opinions about Indian politicians based on western coverage of them. It comes across as uninformed and politically motivated.

I don't understand what you mean by nationalism here. Modi has made no attempt at expansionism or hawkish interference into other nations. Unlike the Congress, they have not sent in military to suppress political insurgencies in other nations (LTTE & Srilanka), and hasn't been putting opposition in prison (Indira Gandhi & Emergency).

Modi has maintained a cordial relationship with Sheikh Hasina's Bangladesh, send aid to Srilanka during their political implosion & has kept things generally quiet against Pakistan (a terror state). Each of the altercations against China have come after the CCP initiated aggression. On the economic front, he has opened the nation up to foreign investment in a way that rejects nationalism derived isolationism. India has also refused to engage in economic-warfare through sanctions like most countries in Europe.

The only nations that can afford to not be nationalistic are nations with no real threats. European egalitarianism came from the knowledge that the US covered its defense and strict immigration protocols keep non-Europeans out rather effectively. Now that we have seen a wave of unforeseen immigration & Russian military activity, the dormant nationalism among these same nations that lectured the world has sprung into action once again.

Name a country with real threats that is less nationalistic than India. It isn't a dirty word. There has been wide-spread bi=partisan agreement on this in India [1]. The only reason Modi appears nationalistic, is because of the wanton disregard Rahul Gandhi (and specifically him, less so than the party) shows towards the geopolitical interests of the nation.

Or not.

Spent the last 30 minutes watching searchlights play on the clouds and surface-to-air missiles rising into the night sky. Got a little footage, but have learned I need to set infinite focus at night (the points of light in shot are blurry, as the camera cannot focus).

I saw four shots fired in total, after the third there was a white flash in the sky, where I would think they hit their mark.
Slightly off topic, but the author should really reconsider the flashing title and logo. It is incredibly distracting.
Hey meaniehead... I added offsets to the hour hands for +30 and +45 timezones!
async is pretty efficient, no reason to ditch that.

It's just a pool of threads being used on demand.

The source of "complexity" according to the author is in using traits to make sure the middlewares are defined correctly.
Tried the demo and it feels like a web ‘app’.

Nothing says “I don’t give a crap about our users or the user experience” like building a web app or using a cross-platform toolkit. It telegraphs you mainly care about doing it as cheap as you can instead of just building a good app.

The only way to build a decent mobile UX is by making an actual native app.

My experience with XP tools is that if you build anything but the most trivial of apps you keep running into issues where you have to do platform specific workarounds. Eventually it becomes an unmaintainable mess of exceptions and workarounds.

In the long run it’s faster and easier to just build a native app for each platform. That way you can provide the native UX a user of each platform expects without compromise.

I'm sorry you personally are unhappy with MacOS, truly.

I don't connect my iPhone except to charge it, so I have no idea what that experience is like. Perhaps it is a disgrace. Then again, Apple made iPhone completely independent from Macs quite a few years ago now, so I have no idea why one would connect one in 2022 on MacOS Ventura.

I haven't observed icons disappearing prematurely when ejecting volumes, although that's something I do rarely.

The Ventura update itself finished unattended on both my M1 Mac mini and my M1 Pro MacBook, so that one doesn't seem to be a universal issue.

Again, what few specifics are mentioned are clearly not universal, and I can't really judge vague statements at all. If you feel it's dumbed down, who can argue? If you feel it's being run into the ground, who can argue?

> Among outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19, treatment with ivermectin, with a maximum targeted dose of 600 μg/kg daily for 6 days, compared with placebo did not improve time to recovery. These findings do not support the use of ivermectin in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.
The bivalent vaccines are less effective than expected, due to a change in the type of antibodies induced.

> Prolog feels like one of those things I definitely couldn’t write a whole app in, but I often wish it was just there in other languages the same way regex is.

Embedding prolog (or limited versions, like Datalog, or versions of Prolog or Datalog extended with probabilistic, temporal, or other features), or other logic sublanguages like MiniKanren, in other languages isn’t particularly uncommon.
That doesn't sound like "immutable" to me, more like batched updates. I guess like Windows service packs?
Instead of dividing by two equal halves day and night, make this dependent on sunrise and sunset of the location, would be helpful to know at a glance the actual day hours and night hours

Not exactly - while the initial stock they grant vests on a 5/15/40/40 schedule, they also have a large cash "bonus" which "vests" monthly for the first two years. With their assumption of 15% stock growth per year, you should have equal TC per year for your first 4 years. Of course, assuming 15% annual stock growth is silly, but you can run the numbers however you want. The point is that compensation for the first two years is predominantly cash.
They do it because coding a large UI project is brutally hard and money doesn't help that much. Building a new UI team is hard, hiring is hard, managing is hard, designing is hard, it's all brutal. Now do that 2-3X in parallel and manage that efficiently and ship new features on time.

Couple that with the fact that web devs are much easier to recruit than devs for any native platform and it's easy to see why they don't bother with native.

The real choice is (1) be single-platform (Mac only, Windows only, etc) or (2) use a cross-platform UI with Electron being the easiest to adopt.
Europe has many prosperous countries that are well managed. It looks like small scale countries (let's say Finland, Estonia) can have better governance. With the right design, EU can be a benefit to all of them without centralizing too much. That's what I hope for. Avoid the inefficiency and corruption of bigger empire-like states, while using the size of the EU to be able to survive in the global market.
Ok, a court with zero enforcement power might rule on a territorial dispute, so?

The only resolution is going to come from the disputing parties agreeing or someone with a terrible amount of power going to war. Neither is going to happen any time soon and other feeble actions don’t help.
He's always been a bumbling idiot. His skills are getting government grant money to prop up his businesses to increase his personal wealth, and hiring smart people and letting them do their thing. At least daily, he gets in the way and causes messes.

Europeans can defend themselves against all realistic threats. Through France they even have an independent nuclear deterrent.

The claim that Europe needs the US is like an abusive relationship where the abuser keeps devaluing its victim to maintain dominance: "you need me, you're nothing without me, you can't look after yourself without me"...

More generally, be it with the EU, China, or even India, the US need to come to terms with the fact that they are no longer the 'capo di tutti capi' and should treat others as equals.

I realise that this is a position that is in China's interests but that is also in Europe's interests and, really in "anyone that is not the US"'s interests.

They do not and I've been wanting a 24h analog dial on mine with nothing else for years... Pole Clock's timezone hour hands would be a bonus though!
The minute-hand seems to be buggy. It seems to take its 0 as top even though the 0 for hours is at bottom. So when I choose midnight-on-top option, it flips and 00:45 time shows the minute-hand in due-east which is completely wrong.

Would also love to see an option to highlight working hours (9am to 5pm?). Those are important markers for most individuals.
> The reality of the eurozone is that it has made rich countries exports cheaper (Germany, France) and made marginal countries poorer (Italy, Spain, Portugal)

Italy is not a marginal country. It's the world's 8th largest economy, way larger than such EU heavyweights as Belgium, the Netherlands and Ireland.

> If you grew up in Croatia speaking Croat and possibly English, do you really think the Greek labor market is open to you? Could you in all practicality relocate to Belgium and start a business?

If you grew up in Croatia, you for sure speak English and possibly German or Italian as well.

It would not be as easy to relocate your business as, perhaps from one US state to another, but that's mostly because of local law differences in how a business must operate.

I know people who basically just got up and moved (to the Netherlands, Sweden, Ireland and Germany) and they had no problem whatsoever.
At some level in some way?

A space station will never be truly airtight; are screen doors as good as airlocks?
I like the position of this author and think it's quite correct, but FWIW the logical conclusion if we pull the lever all the way over to this line of thinking is that in the modern era, the FOSS ecosystem has failed as a business model and companies will be better off developing their cores in-house (with all the opacity and lock-in that implies), and the pendulum swings again.

Fortunately, we need not pull the lever all the way in that direction. As with so many aspects of the open source ecosystem, the real most valuable element is trust.

This plan looks even worse for privacy, and seems to rely on authenticating the unique device itself.

If they manage to get wide adoption of something like this it seems like a very bad day for privacy, and a joyous day for advertisers, anyone who wants to prevent web scraping, Google and/or anyone who might want to make it hard to crawl the entire web…
As far as corruption, Romania’s CPI is virtually identical to Hungary’s.

You won’t be able to make a good argument using statistics about corruption and migration. European politicians have given up on that, too. Now it’s subjective stuff like “they don’t treat our businesses well.”
Ideally we'd have something like quadratic funding[0] as the means of choosing where to spend that fund, so that we get optimal contributions from private funds as well. In general, software should be treated like a public resource, since the marginal cost of distribution is ~0, and restricting distribution frequently requires a lot of effort.

Having and managing your own currency costs resources that could be used for other things. Lots of countries are incompetent at managing their own currency, e.g. Argentina or Venezuela. Using the currency of a country with competent monetary management means you avoid those costs and problems.
Be that as it may, that still makes the subject controversial.

FWIW, I do tend to think the bolide hypothesis seems right. But I wasn't there so I don't really know.

Is it the same 5% for everyone or is everyone part of a 5% for some small group of people?
This would indeed be great to have... Then it's also easier to adopt the thing for team! Good idea!
Can't is a really strong word. More like we are still working on it, and so far the solution looks complicated.
But the point is that the UI is the one thing cannot be shared.
Your representative problem strikes me as very weird. Greeces own citizens are benefiting immensely as you say because now they can follow their preferred careers within the EU and enrich themselves and their family.
Surely it's the failure of their own government to provide a high value internal export and not the EU?
Significant whitespace is probably my favorite feature of Python, which might have to do with the German keyboard layout making it very cumbersome to enter curly braces.
The EU countries could have simply cooperated and agreed not to charge extra fees on trading among them or having each other citizens visiting (or why not extend that to the entire world) without giving away their monetary freedom and allow bureaucrats in other countries to dictate their laws
Greece has 10 million people. It seems ridiculous to expect every profession could be maximally employed there, especially given the geography.

It's like an American expecting no one to ever leave the US state of Georgia to look for a job.
Happy new year. May we both get within touching distance of our dreams/grass.
Me too! Issue is that different longitudes have different sunrise/sunset times, so I went with an arbitrary cut down the middle to get a rough idea of how people in other timezones are feeling right now (tired, close to dark, etc)
Read a bit more; that’s not how the cryptography works. They’re blinded tokens.
For Putin I'll make an exception. I've looked at lots of media from Ukraine and I have zero compassion with him, he knows full well what he's doing and not a day goes by or innocent people are murdered in his name.

I wish a solution like [6] were more widely accessible to those without a deep understanding of Android boot system internals. I'd love to be the holder of my own master keys, and the ADB password override feature sounds convenient.

I did the biggest one, the most solid resume item to date, but can't say what yet.

Lost on the others. Actually gained weight. I'll do the standard lose weight one this year.

I did aspire to read all the leftover books, and ended up reading maybe 2-3. I think firstmost, the unfinished books are both lifechanging and difficult to read, and just won't happen without active effort. Some of the other unfinished books are just crap and I have to speed through them without taking notes.
Not saying that there was no mistake done when Greece joined the EU (actually I don't think Greece should have been allowed to join) but claiming that none of this would have happened if it were not for the EU is just bullshit. Greece was already corrupted, with really unhealthy economics.

1. We can’t know for sure if the EU is preventing war. Smaller countries might think the EU is not serving them well and revolt. Germany might flip and decide to invade the other countries again. These things happened in a cascading and fast fashion in the past. There is no reason or proofs that suggests it can’t happen again. Of course, people who sells the EU will try to convince you of this, but they offer no detailed explanation of why it’s the case.

2. This is over-generalizing. A country like croatia might benefit more from being not into the EU. As an EU country they have to play by EU rules and standards. As a non-EU country, they can instead undermine EU policy (ie: lower taxes, cut standards, etc..) in order to attract companies (near-shoring).

> Without the EU as an ally, the US may be too small to compete.

The EU needs the US more than the US needs the EU. People who think the US is an ally to the EU are delusional. The US is undermining the EU to reduce its power and to reduce its dependency to it. The US will be happy to see the EU crash into a thousands easily manipulated city-states than the current status quo. Of course, there is the Russian threat for now which justifies the existence of the EU. But they are working on that (at the expense of the EU of course).
lol I think they were giving a tl;dr by giving an analog to someone ripping off your css and expecting help from you. It's an example of how people who use your freely available software for their project behave. They come along, as you say, like a "raccoon digging through dumpsters for free code." But then they think they're entitled to think of you as a supplier and that you should provide support. That was the joke in "I have a big blog post going live tomorrow."
Aye! I had a user request flag emojis for countries, so I popped the statue of liberty in for NYC to show the feature of naming :)
Sure. Which laws stopped the AMA’s abuses? Conversely, which laws made those abuses possible? How are laws made, and how has the AMA, or unions in general, influenced that process? How often is the answer, “the union is a de facto segment of a specific political party, always contributes to that party’s campaign funds, and due to closed-shop employment arrangements, those funds are collected from workers’ paychecks regardless of their personal opinions”?
I'm not sure what to make of this article. It actually seems very hard to draw a clear-cut boundary between the Romantics and the earlier sentimentalism of 18th-c. English literature. And that sentimentalism in turn seems to be heavily influenced by attitudes towards wonder, individuality, metaphor etc. that had developed already in earlier Baroque literature (which was a continental European movement but nonetheless a huge influence e.g. on John Donne, etc. My relevant point is that the early-modern period was truly "modern" in spite of being strictly pre-Enlightenment, but also surprisingly broad and varied). So this whole notion of "the first Romantics" as being somehow revolutionary just seems to be missing the forest for the trees.
Totally. You have a base sheet that specifies how everything works, write access limited to developers. Every new players starts by cloning a template that links to the base sheet. It'll have the number crunching of EVE Online with the aesthetics of Dwarf Fortress!

Between 2010 and 2018, no country in the Eurozone increased their GDP per capita by 1% or more annually. Finland and Italy both experienced negative GDP per capita growth. The actual reality is that Europe is the single most economically stagnant region in the world. Whether that is due to the EU or not is absolutely an open question though.

Nonsense, there are plenty of circumstances where a lone person or small group was responsible for great change. The thing that’s missing from people’s attention is that usually this change was ripe and if not one person, another would have come along in a short time. The many occurrences of scientific discoveries happening completely independently at almost the same time demonstrates this.

And there certainly have been great women, too often somebody else got credit for far too long, but there have been plenty.

Khun, summarized, said that (in science but really applicable anywhere) development tends to happen with long periods of many people making incremental changes interspersed with short bursts of paradigm shifts where the basic assumptions change… often led by small groups or individual outsiders.
Its amazing how propaganda can shape human perception. Stalin literally oversaw transforming the Soviet Union from agrarian society to world superpower, yet it is "unbelievable". This is what capitalist propaganda does to your brain, you literally believe lies are true, and actual reality is false. The USSR was not an industrialized, first world nation, no, it was a cartoon nightmare. I pity you. Your brain is completely consumed by propaganda. Wish you the best in freeing yourself from propaganda.

I view Apple's behavior the same as I do people who leave their shopping carts loose in the parking lot instead of returning them to the corrals. Sure, they aren't legally required to provide any form of support to curl, but they would anyway if they had any decency.
Ask HN: What are the downstream implications of high dilution during seed round?
In this guide to seed fundraising (https://www.ycombinator.com/library/4A-a-guide-to-seed-fundraising), YC advises not to give out more than 25% of equity to investors at the seed stage. Besides the obvious loss of founder stake, what are the other downstream implications of giving out a higher equity stake?

Let's say I hypothetically give ~40% of my company to the seed stage (or pre-seed) investor for some reason. Would it be a problem for Series A or B investors coming in at ~20% stake down the line? If yes, what are the exact reasons?
I did just that, I have friends trying to do it and it's complete BS.

I was able to do it just because I'm in software and I work with english speaking clients outside the EU and I'm just shopping for the best eu country that gives me the best weather / services / lifestyle with the lower taxes.

People outside of software have a hard time and are stuck in their country, exactly like they were before the EU.
