It would be interesting to see a list of unsuccessful small teams as a point of reference. Oh wait… it probably wouldn’t. Then again, a list of unsuccesful large teams may not offer much insight either.

There may be many advantages to small teams and yes there are cases where they have wild financial success, but in general these may just be outliers. Are these outliers because they have the secret sauce worth emulating? Maybe, and maybe their stories will show why they succeeded where so many failed. Success is rarely all luck, but we’ll likely also invent myths around their exceptionalism as we tend to do. Not the type of exceptionalism which precludes the rest of us from having a similar shot of course, but one about cleverness and grit or other characteristics we can fairly easily attribute to ourselves.

Everyone likes a good narrative, I suppose. And narratives about scrappy small teams achieving success meritoriously are more attractive than ones about how the massive organizations usually tend to eat them for lunch (despite having their own types of problems) or ones about the frequencies with which the scrappy teams fail. Cherry-picking data points is the key to any good narrative.
>It's going to come as a surprise to many that it is only to be found in the individual.

I'm going to give this a YnEoS as an answer.

So, yes, meaning is individual and occurs in your mind.

Also, no, your ideas of what meaning should even be in the first time are affected by your collective endeavor, your political party, your football team, your religious group, and your country. There will be a statistically high correlation with of your views of what meaning is and your affiliations with any of the above parties.

>hat is missed with this sort of anthropomorphising is what is actually occurring: the denigration of what it is to be human and to have meaning. A simulacrum is, by definition, not the thing-in-itself, but for nefarious reasons, this line will be heavily blurred. Imo.

I mean, isn't the meaning of being human to live on the Serengeti plains, fighting for survival and enough food to eat, and everything since then is just the simulacrum? Humans create society which create the simulacrum in the first place. That line was blurred so long ago we have no idea where it even existed.
It's unclear how just-in-case learning solves this problem. By learning more things "just in case" you might happen upon the thing you didn't know you didn't know, or you might not. It's a shot in the dark and could waste a lot of time.

Alyson couldn't have picked the card that was torn up, because she selected a card from the deck after the card was destroyed; https://youtu.be/5_KcQt0z-eE?t=332 is around when she's given cards to select from.

On the other hand, Penn was asked to name a card which was then shown, an alternate card destroyed, and the named card shown again. If a further name a card was attempted on the 51-card deck, you'd have the chance of naming the destroyed card.
It’s also a trivially false conclusion. No amount of great DNA can counteract lead poisoning.
Windows95 introduced the Windows key, before that sure there was no „win” key, but it was not needed much before real multitasking
Nothing baffles me more than cassette nostalgia. They were such SHIT for fidelity and quality, and so prone to failure!

Digital music on the go is an unalloyed win. With a nice enough rig I guess you MIGHT be able to tell CD source from streamed digital in your living room, but it's unlikely.

Vinyl is legitimately fun to use, and with decent gear you'd be surprised by how good it can sound (way better than cassette), but it's nowhere near CD or digital. It is, however, a bit more visceral and intentional, which is nice.
Most people dont scroll through their social feeds to click links. They come to social feeds to see content.

I get that some people dont want to have this experience. But this here is using the medium as intended. It fits in the scene & participates actively with others, in a way that going-off-and-doing-your-own-isolated-thing (then linking to it) doesnt.

It'd be so nice if we didnt have to keep having this debate every single time. There's advantages to both. Recognizing & accepting that different things can be happening in the world & that you should maybe have a little flexibility about it seems like the mature response I'd hope for.
Stopping Meta would only solve a small percentage of the problem. Hackers stealing our data is also a huge problem. My philosophy is to assume that I don't have privacy online or even offline due to facial recognition software. I've decided to accept it instead of fighting it like I used to.

Disagree. China is a house of cards, a paper tiger. They've been in a downward spiral ever since Xi took over. That's why I think they'll attack Taiwan sooner rather than later, it'll be impossible in 10 years and it'll be obvious.
My point was that these people tend to live a full decade less, and they're missing out the decade when health care cost rise to $11k/yr (65+, also when Medicaid kicks in as far as I understand).

Only looking at the obesity-related health-care cost without looking at the earlier-death-related savings doesn't get you a clear picture. All obese people becoming healthier might actually cost the health-care system more. I understand that's not a comfortable way to think about it for some people, but I do believe it's useful to consider.

Here's a study on lifetime costs for smokers vs nonsmokers: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm199710093371506

In Germany, healthcare spending for women is about 20% larger per person which is primarily explained by the 5 years additional life expectancy. You'll see that it's not obvious that an obese person dying 10 years earlier will necessarily have the same life time cost because their life is much shorter, and cost rises rapidly when you're past retirement age.
Probably yes. More so, it charges to 70% in 30 minutes, so stopping twice to charge shouldn't be a big deal either.
Like what? Appeasement hasn't worked well historically.
I have a question as someone who has only just started toying with gpt3 and chatgpt.

Currently there is a lot of power with the big corporations to put their angle/slant/bias on search results. But in general, as a user you still are presented with pages of results you can scan through and read.

With something like chatGPT, what is the likely hood result sets will be home more specific and echo chambered. And furthermore, what is the chance the big corporations will get even more control on applying their bias/slant/angle than we currently already get.

And, as a thought experiment, what might the answer be in 5 years and 10 years.

Because setting up a personal blog is a lot of work. And it’s not fun. And it requires maintenance over the year. Writing a sequence of tweets “just works”.

I say this as someone with a custom blog written in custom HTML/CSS/JS.

If it makes you feel better a lot of people are creating substacks, with no intent to monetize, to act as their blog.

We won't solve it so long as we think of it as a moral issue.
Does it though? Quoting was always available: select the text, copy it, and go. Is it really the deciding difference? Do people perceive selecting and copying as a major friction?
While it enjoyed outsized influence, the Mac never had enough share to create a sufficiently large software ecosystem w/o the web.

In this era (~'98-'12), the web provided a bridge over a moat formed by a competitor's proprietary stack winning through momentum and network effects. The web went "over the top" of both Macs and PCs, and while Apple desperately coveted native app builders for the Mac, was at least savvy enough to know that if it could add the universe of great web apps to the Mac experience, it would be a market-reality help at point of sale.
> what you said is that food marketing and the amount of sugars and fats in purchased foods are the cause of obesity.

Yes, I mean the cause of the obesity epidemics we're witnessing. Not the reason why every single obese person is obese.

My subjective feeling as a European traveling to the US is that it's extremely hard to eat healthy food there. In some states, it seems everybody is obese, including children, and I myself need to fight actively not to gain weight there. People there don't seem to realize that their diet is very unhealthy, and I'm not even sure they make the connection with their obesity. And this trend is happening in Europe too, with a few years lag behind the US.

But this is only my conviction and I didn't find the data to back up my intuition. How do you explain why obesity rate went from 10% to 40% in a few decades?

Pretty much every expensive medication has a copay assistance program in the US.

For trirzepatide: https://www.mounjaro.com/hcp/savings-resources

They typically are income blind and make your out-of-pocket price negligible. I'm on a med (Skyrizi) that's $18k per shot, one every three months; their assistance program ensures I don't pay more than $5.

They chip in on the deductible/coinsurance/copay, you don't skip the medication due to cost, and they still get significant money out of your insurer. Everybody wins, until everyone's premiums go up next year.
To me, working anyone in the EU, under the EU laws would suck, I would be "abused" by the government instead of corporations in that case and would not no avenue of escape at all

Your assimilation of government abuse as not being abused does not magically change that
Generally not really any better or worse. The electric bits added in a PHEV is relatively ancient, simple and reliable tech - ~5 to 20kwh battery plus a small electric motor added to the end of the existing transmission in most cases. Electric motors in vehicles generally have little to no maintenance requirements and just last the lifespan of the vehicle - the stator/rotor never "touch" so there isn't anything that "wears" anything like as much as in a combustion engine and no complex lubrication challenges. The battery will wear over time, but again generally lasts most to all of the lifespan of the vehicle.

In some cases reliability actually improves, as the extremely reliable electric motor can replace things such as reverse gear and the starter motor, reducing complexity of the ICE system and transmission. The only parts being serviced that you pay for continue to be the gas bits exactly as before.

While I agree, you're right, nobody wants to hear it. There's no point telling people to have discipline, because discipline is not spread through strangers telling each other to have it. Someone either has the capacity to have discipline (instilled through upbringing or formative events), or they don't. These magic pills are for everyone who doesn't have discipline.

The other posts in the chain go into more detail. By improving and pushing the web experience on Mac, Apple gets access to a whole ecosystem of web-based application which make the Mac more valuable to customer, instead of relying solely on 3rd party native Mac application developers.
I would love to know what sort of healthy cut has a 6"2 male eating that low a calorie count. That is approaching weight class athlete cutting numbers which is near uniformly considered very bad for you.
I agree that eating every other day would be socially isolating but OP stated he ate every other day 7 years after his original bout of weight loss which he said he did, “the old fashioned way.”

This kind of quoting doesn't link to the original source without extra steps. With Twitter it's one click.
Actually it was untrue even before the quote was first stated in 1996, the first war between countries with McDonalds was the US invasion of Panama in 1989.
One point in favor of running these lines — city already has lots of lamp posts.
Many other benefits to the company: (not necessarily for the user)

* Persistent shortcut button on device's launcher

* Notifications to pull user back into app to consume content, spend money, view ads

* Data collection like you say

* Uniquely identify user w/ device identifiers

* No browser UI and quirks

* Persistent storage on user's device

It's saying that small market participants benefit from open standards and compatibility. People are buying a different entry point into a massive shared resource, rather than choosing between a massive network and a niche player.
This is really well made. At first I didn't get it but then played for ages. Got a score of 4714

>> People can read it natively in the social app they find themselves already in

Not saying you're wrong, but... if it was a blog wouldn't that "native app" be a browser?

>> Also makes it easier for such readers to share, increasing the post/thread's reach

I think this is a big part of it; it's not about connecting with a few deeply, but many shallow connections. I'd argue that these authors care more about the sharing than the communication aspects TBH.

Telegram is probably the best example of a PWA. It's not as good as the mobile app, especially for gestures, but it's better than a lot of native apps.
I have been coding with v1 for about 15yrs and switched to v2 in a heartbeat.

But I would definitely not recommend converting v1 scripts to v2 if is not absolutely necessary.

You can have both installed and work great with the new launcher that auto selects version based on the #Requires directive.

I would definitely not convert v1 scripts that are longer than 2k lines.

What I have found is that re-writing stuff for v2 is WAY easier than converting.

You might also try the v1 -> v2 converter by dimitri.
It is not perfect but does 90% of the work for ya.
Sounds interesting. Source?
Hilarious, thanks for the chuckle.

I'd like to ride along on an ERP integration some day.

I've been a part of a scaling start-up and it just feels like the kludge of tools small teams buy would be better served by a more integrated system. So I'd like to see what a big implementation looks like and figure out what pieces might be usable for small teams.
It should automatically focus a window on that workspace yeah.

You can assign workspaces to different monitors, if I understand the question correctly

I don't think the reason that street cars lines were removed is because they're hard to implement, I think they were removed for political reasons.

I'm not sure that I am healthier than my parents. Some of my life/lifestyle choices have likely contributed to superior health, others have done the opposite.
Note that they're also talking about Google search ranking. People who are actual experts in things tend to have meatier hits at the top than J Random Vlogger.
True - but building IP for Risc-V will likely go faster - primarily because it is open source, design tools are better and there are companies like TSMC that are foundries and will make whatever you design. I first started working with Arm when it was stilled laid out by hand. It is a great little processor but in a way the licensing thing has retarded progress in certain areas. Back in the day it was an innovative business decision to license only but the world has changed.

Arm was launched in 1985. It has had an extraordinary run. Supermicro tends to stick with tried and true so maybe Arm would be the most cost effective for them. However as you said the instruction set is not the deal breaker any longer - but expensive licenses and proprietary IP can be.
It does but it doesn’t mean you get any treatment available. They carefully make decisions on what treatments they can/should provide. This may be offered eventually but at the moment it’s a case of be very fat and get offered gastric sleeve or just be overweight and no treatments are offered other than advice about losing weight
Copy and paste? Seems to work well enough on HN.
It's just easier to write. You start with an idea about where you want to go, and then every step forward is published, so there's no editing or revision possible. Sure, the quality of the writing might suffer, but it makes up for it by allowing so much more writing to happen without getting killed by second thoughts or hesitations. The prevalence of these threads on HN is a great example of how systems can succeed by optimizing for production instead of consumption.
Mobile web apps have existed for decades.

It simply comes down to the fact that the user experience is not as good as native.

And you can't run a successful business without making your users happy.
Magnetocardiography
The magnetic field produced by the heart is 100 times greater than the field generated by the brain.

It can be detected up to 3 feet away from the body in all directions using quantum SQUID-based magnetometers.
The reasoning they don't need to build anything in their servers that's not needed still stands. It doesn't make sense if you need just a few units of a given type, but hyperscalers, who deploy computers by the acre, any unused SAS connector is dead weight.
I prefer this medium to blogs. And I’m an old beard who reads newspapers and prefers scheduled TV to streaming.

Tweet chains have a rhythm, no ads (with a decent client) and no filler.

Blogs (and worse: podcasts or videos) are full of fluff and filler, and often packed with ads.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_point_theory may help

> but it is thrown off hard by our modern diets.

Yes. I think the dominant theory is that it has something to do with gut microbiomes, and in particular sugar and/or artificial sweeteners screw it up pretty badly.
Calling it a "startup" at this point feels like a wild exaggeration, I have a user account system and a landing page so far.

My current goal is to dedicate the same amount of time to the idea that I spent playing Factorio last year (about 160 hours by Steam's reckoning). At the end of that I will, if nothing else, have learned a lot about Phoenix, which feels like a good bet regardless of any wild dreams of sustaining an income from the other.

Either way though, thanks for the encouragement!
I like posts like this, because software with these properties does deserve to be roasted. It seems like no one can figure out or remember anymore what's wrong with it, though. It's a valid question.

But a couple clarifications.

I don't develop or distribute software that depends on Node, but I imagine deciding which versions of Node to support, or conversely require, for software like Ghost, is a bit like deciding which Java VM versions to support, or which browsers to support. That is, there is a lot of compatibility between Node versions, but do you just develop and test on the latest one, or do you make an effort to support more/older versions? In this case, Ghost seems to be tested on v12, v14, and v16. The author seems to mistakenly think that only the "Active LTS" version of Node gets security fixes, but that's not the case, v14 and v16 are in "Maintenance LTS" and receive security fixes. That said, their "ends of life" are in April and September of this year, for whatever that's worth. At the end of the day, I think it is considered easy to update and/or run multiple versions of Node. I'm don't know why an app written for Node 16 wouldn't work with a newer Node 18, though, that kind of stuff annoys me sometimes.

For the MariaDB support, I googled and found this note from the Ghost devs: "Note: MariaDB is not an officially supported database for Ghost. It just happened to work given the similarities with MySQL, but we optimize and test for MySQL 5 and 8. As of Ghost 5.0 we are clarifying that official support is purely for MySQL8 in production so that we can double down on DB optimizations." Maybe that's what we're talking about? https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/14446

Now, the deeper trend that I think is misguided is the rate of iteration and breaking changes, and apps and libraries having too many dependencies. The problems propagate through the dependency graph. Someone releases a library, and then adds a bunch of features, and then rewrites it, adds features, rewrites it again. That's fine for some hobby project that no one is using. I think anything I say won't be appreciated by someone who hasn't experienced programming and computing any other way, e.g. writing Java applications in the 1990s and 2000s. Or even just using desktop applications in the 90s. Software used to sort of "mature" and then continue to be used and supported, while staying pretty much the same, for years. It wasn't constantly rearranged to use new versions of things that are constantly rearranged to use new versions of things that are constantly rearranged etc. etc. etc.
