This looks really good, going through the first couple of tasks it seems well considered.

I'm introducing my 8yo daughter to programming at the moment, she is beginning to play around with Scratch. I'm keeping my eye out some something closer to proper coding though. I think this may be a little too far at the moment, but I may try her out on it with me sitting next to her and see how she gets on!

Is there any way for users to construct their own multiple stage tutorials? (It looks like we can do single questions)

Currently you have the console output, have you considered having a canvas/bitmap output that could be targeted with the various Python drawing and image manipulation apis?

Incredibly generous of you to make it open source!

> I have a uni education (up to PhD)

If I were hiring, that would get you dropped from my candidate pool. I hired a PhD once, and it was a mistake. They're ultra-specialized in a field that probably isn't important to your business, they're very clever and don't take well to being instructed, and they don't like grunt work.

I realize that's a very broad generalization! I've only had to recruit once, and I wasn't recruiting for something intellectually challenging. And the recruit in question wasn't a CS graduate - he was an astronomer.

> The BoS & electorate create laws, bureaucracies, structures and courts that would create those 25 year court cases in the first place. The properly allocated elected set of judges, supervisors, mayor and DAs can make most of those disappear in the first place by changing the law, how the government runs and how the courts run and rule on cases, complete with prioritizing court cases for the few they don't have a choice in getting rid of to make them get through the system quickly.

Let's say they do that. All the branches of SF government collude to make or remove laws as needed to eliminate all obstacles to permenently buidling more.

Who will be satisfied? What would happen to the city as everyone flees such authoritarian approach?

The need to close tags has been a pretty low grumble about XML. It really doesn't matter. Especially with compression.

XML got a bad rap because SOAP & enterprise built nightmarish systems. It's possible to do very bad things with any kind of data interchange system, which, contrary to this post, I would say XML is & does fine at.
Sure but if you can churn this out why not do it organically, or if you must fabricate: through a persona?

I can't imagine this pays off once the real person finds out and gets it closed.

Wait, what? Isn’t the price set by what people are willing to pay?

If scalpers can get $1000, that means people will pay $1000; if the scalpers could get $2000,’that’s what they’d charge.

So if Nike raises their prices to $1000, I don’t see how that increases market price.
I understand your point that most people who drink alcohol do not become alcoholics. But that is true for all drugs, really. I think the thing that separates alcohol is the long cultural acceptance.

I find explicable joy in the social experience of listening to music together. One weekend I threw together a PoC with Mediasoup + socket.io and I was amazed how easy it was to get started.

In my very amateur testing, I was able to observe < 100ms of de-sync between 7 different devices, each on a different network. I'm still not too happy about the exact implementation so I'm hoping having some experienced eyes on the project could guide me in the right direction.

Sure, but in that way a private school is public as well.

> "parents can take the kids to another school if things aren't working out. And since they're paid a certain dollar amount per warm body, the school has a pretty direct feedback loop."

Indeed, this is exactly why British private schools like Eton are called "public schools," because anyone can attend if they have the money. But in the US we use a different definition.
Trying new beers and supporting local breweries is the whole point! Endless variations and ideas.

Here in Western Australia there are tons, and the only ‘glut’ to speak of is probably that the Hazy IPA market is saturated, and it can be difficult to find some other styles. Red Ales are well represented, and very sweet stouts. But a good dry Irish-style stout? A nice spicy saison? A little harder.

Throwing out a statement like:

> Perhaps the only reason why flu is harmless is because we don't fight it?

Without providing any evidence that viruses tend to become more dangerous when we combat them is anti-science. It's like saying: What if the earth is flat?

Consider successful viral eradication campaigns like smallpox or polio. There's no indication that smallpox became "super smallpox" as it was about to be eradicated. Nor is there a reason to think this would happen based on what we know about how viruses work. It's pure fear mongering on the basis of nothing at all.

Edit: There's so much wrong with the original post here. Not only is the flu sometimes deadly, as others have pointed out, but we already fight the flu with seasonal flu vaccines. Indeed, they seem to have a strong protective effect[1]. The flu doesn't seem to be getting stronger as a result any of this.

Yeah this is really odd. If you had a personal blog and someone was just copy/pasting your articles to Substack in order to get subscribers I could see it. But based on your comments below it sounds like you didn't even write this (or accept a guest post), it's a complete fabrication in terms of author and post. TBH I wonder if this is a ChatGPT post though it seems almost more like someone is whining and wanted to use your credentials to get on top of HN.
Houses are not taxed based on any gains at all. Houses are taxed based on a government issued current valuation. People complain about the accuracy of these valuations all the time, but the taxation has nothing to do with capital gains. If it was a tax on capital gains, then you’d only be paying a tax on the difference in valuation from year to year. Which isn’t how it works at all. It’s more of a wealth tax.

What does “support” entail? Whether “we print its friendly name on the invoice before its value” or “we validate it, fetch the business data from the national registries and auto-fill the rest of the form”, you still need some special handling and registration. In that case, you don’t save much by using an existing scheme, and you there is a bigger risk of someone providing a schema you don’t support.
I am sure you are not going to agree or like my response to this argument then.

It should be incumbent upon the driver to learn how to operate their car safely. If our ultimate goals are to maximize highway safety, we should be punishing reckless driving. It shouldn't matter if it's caused by alcohol, sleep deprivation, prescription medication, text messaging, or Touch Screens. If lawmakers want to stick it to dangerous drivers who threaten everyone else on the road, they can dial up the civil and criminal liability for reckless driving, especially in cases that result in injury or property damage.

The punishable act should be violating road rules or causing an accident, not the factors that led to those offenses.

I've been doing a good bit of research and planning for self-hosted Functions as a Service (also marketed as Serverless). Now, right off the bat, setting up one of the frameworks in kubernetes to accomplish this is going to be more complicated than setting up a cgi-bin capable system. So I wouldn't quite recommend self hosting it for a personal project.

But if someone else set it up, or you're using one of the cloud ones, FaaS sort of reinvents the cgi-bin mindset. Here is a talk by one of the Fission.io devs showing the similarities.

I guess they are trying hard to keep it that way.

I use these https://www.olimex.com/Products/IoT/ESP32/ESP32-POE/open-sou... - they support proper PoE as opposed to the dodgy passive stuff you usually end up with with splitters.

Personally I'd take an ESP32 over a teensy 4.1 unless you specifically need the extra GPIOs or something. The teensy's are great hardware, but you're stuck with either Arduino or hand rolling.

You don't pay for WiFi power if the RF amp is off, and ESP-IDF for me is far better to work with than the Arduino software ecosystem especially once the complexity starts going up.

Also, if you just want to make widgets and not learn embedded development esp-home is brilliant.
You're quite the mindreader.

Companies posting positions they aren't actually trying to fill are a real thing, and that isn't a problem with my resume.

Companies dealing with a macroeconomic situation wherein they can't fill roles they want to is a real thing, and that isn't a problem with my resume.

There are a dozen factors contributing which aren't problems with my resume.

I get it, though, it's fun to blame people for their situation.
In my state we have a lot of breweries that essentially just operate as family friendly restaurants with bars. Like towns of a few thousand people have multiple breweries.

It turns out liquor license laws make it much cheaper to open a tasting room that serves food then a restaurant that serves beer. Some can or bottle their beer but the business model can work fine without major distribution. So people open breweries instead of pizza parlors or steak houses.
one of my favorite tidbits from the Miles book is when he says he's obviously proud of Kind Of Blue, but that he didn't quite manage to get the sound he had in his head. if i recall, he said he was trying to go for the vibe of an african thumb piano.

I could only listen to about half of this. This is not what tech leadership sounds like, this is what a financier sounds like. Their strategy is to continue to try and compete in commodity-services with AWS.

...but if that's so, and you want to do things "efficiently", why rathole capital into hololens? Are x86-jammed unprovisioned data centers really efficient?

Microsoft has enough credit to suddenly genesis anything imaginable or useful, it's ridiculous to hear their CEO yammer on about margins.

Dividends are taxable income my dude… kinda showing how well you understand the topic here.
You just described my history on the subject. I once believed that too.
I share your doubt. As for sustainability, the key to that is efficient utilisation of resources. I don’t see how that can be possible without scale efficiencies.

Basically there are trade offs between population level, standard of living and sustainability. More of any one of those will require us to make do with less of one or both of the others. A more efficient economy can give us more to distribute between them.

That’s broad strokes. There are cases where some efficiencies compete with some standard of living concerns for example. It would be a poor world in which there were no artisanal crafts.

The important part of RAII is that the constructor actually acquires the resource.

I attended a talk in college by a guy who had measured a bunch of cultural attitudes toward animals, nature, the environment, etc. from different cultures all around the world, then ranked them from most empathetic to least empathetic.

He found the #1 contributing factor to be whether or not that human population coexists with monkeys.

Monkeys are the link that connect us to the animal world. Looking at the face of a creature that is similar to your own is tremendously powerful.

I think it's natural to wonder about our place in the world, but you're right: we shouldn't think of ourselves as distinct from it.

It's just a saying, having the same number on both ends (but measuring different things) is the part that is supposed to make you think it's clever ;)

I was able to get into modular in college with the synthesizers.com monthly payment plan. Each installment you paid, they mailed another module. They start you out with a few modules and a rack with a power supply mounted for you. The whole plan together gave you a bit of a deal on the cost.

It doesn’t look like they offer that anymore, but you could still do the same thing yourself. If I was starting over, I’d probably do eurorack, that seems to be where all the modern innovation is.

I don't know of a reference, but C encourages to do more things at run time, whereas C++ encourages you to do more things at compile time. Simplest example of this is probably qsort() vs. std::sort(), but it extends far beyond this. So you end up with slightly slower code in C, but much faster compile times, and much smaller binaries. So if you want smaller binaries or faster compile times, you'll have an easier time keeping them in C. Of course you'll have an easier time keeping & introducing more bugs in C too, but that's another matter.
These tools are really useful as scaffolding for ideas. If you go into them knowing that they're not always going to be 100% accurate, that the models can 'hallucinate', there's still a ton of value in having a scaffold of an idea that you can work with.

I've got a neat little CRUD app in mind and I'm going to need opengl/ES for a couple specialized UX views that involve lots of elements. I thought about WASM, but I want to charge a little subscription ($5-10/yr) and so the app-store system is attractive because setting up a payment backend is more than I want to tackle.

What's the minimum-overhead way to do this these days?
In 2023 I don't think CGI is as easy as it was back in the day. The major proxies/servers most people use like nginx only support FCGI which isn't directly compatible with CGI--you need to run helpers like fcgiwrap or other new layers of complexity. The only major servers that still support plain old CGI are apache and lighttpd. IMHO properly configuring apache is a mess.

I think what people really want when they pine for the days of CGI is simple file-based routing for dynamic content. Look around and you can see new frameworks are coming back around to this... or consider plain old PHP.

My brother works for an indy brewery in the UK. It's super hard work, but he loves the job. The industry is very tough and many of the independent players don't make it. Those who do are often swallowed by one of the big names or become everything they set out not to be (looking at you, Brewdog).
