> 4. The best code is no code, or code you don’t have to maintain

Relativised in the last sentence:

> This is a balancing act, there are lots of reasons to grow your own, but beware of toxic “Not Invented Here” syndrome.

Rubs me the wrong way. I get what he is saying here. But damn this feels outdated to me coming from web development.

I work in a small web dev team, but we're constantly working hard to reduce dependencies and rather code things up ourselves. We have designed it, we know how it works, what it can do and what it can't. We have tested it, we maintain it. It is smaller and more purposeful and fits our needs well.

Just keep in mind that this is a learning process.

You will likely suck at writing your own libraries and tools until you made some mistakes. But the end result is code that does exactly what it needs to instead of something that is cobbled together, hard to debug, hard to change.

When your code breaks you can debug the code in your head, while you are walking your dog or after you woke up from a nap. You can see it all there, you can _feel_ it.

With external tools, services and libraries it's not like that. It's always a black box. And it might suddenly change its contents if you look at it funny.
They really couldn't just trip the light circuit off overnight until a solution could be found? Last one out etc.? Assuming things like fridges and cctv would be on another circuit, or at least another one could be setup more cheaply than 'thousands of dollars'.
Do you know if they have to reach a certain temperature ?
I would think so because I assumme garbage produces a lot of fumes and gases that would better off

On the other end I wonder what kind of temperature you can get with a dumpster

My daughter, 18 at the time, "productized" this for me - by buying me for Christmas a cheap digital microscope. We looked around the house for something to look at, and decided to try a drop of water from our aquarium.
> This form also has some bonkers checkboxes like "do you plan to commit any crimes in the US".

The point of this is not to get people to admit their plans.

Its to convert having those inchoate plans into a crime (fraud against the government) that can be prosecuted if discovered without any criminal act after entry (and can be used, with a reduced proof threshold compared to prosecuting crime, as a basis to withdraw status and deny any future application.)

Hahahaha nice when people rediscover forums :D

Welcome! this is basically a news-ish site with a lot of very competent and capable engineers used for exchange of information and experience. A little corner of the internet with a tight focus if you will =)

My personal take: this site is full of amazing people of various background and some of the discussions here are worth their weight in gold.

This is what ChatGPT "thinks":

Hacker News is a social news website focusing on computer science and entrepreneurship, run by Paul Graham's investment fund and startup incubator, Y Combinator.

In general, content that can be submitted is defined as "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". Users can submit articles and the site has a voting system to rank the most popular submissions.

The site is known for its coverage of technology and startup companies, but it also covers science, design, business, and other topics. It is also a popular place for software developers and entrepreneurs to discuss technology-related topics and share information.
Not quite. This is more like breaking all the toys in the playpen because you don't like that other kids get to play with them.
I mean, so do digital assets. There is plenty of bullshit out there, but when Nikola had a market cap of 14 billion based on someone pushing a hollowed out semi truck down a hill, is that radically different?

I don't see it as radically different. And Nikola still has a market cap of 1 billion. The idea of digital assets, of trustless contracts, its still very very interesting to me. That a bubble formed and popped is more of a 'well of course it would' result to me than something to be feared.

And maybe someday Nikola solves the truck thing and dominates shipping. I don't know.

I think they whining about coins being a vehicle for speculation is puritanical hand wringing. Especially when it comes from the left and is focused on how people, who were quite literally engaged in speculation, lost money.
The point is, if they don't know it, then they may worry whether or not they're getting the code right.
It's very obvious in context that they meant the positive solution of xˆ2 = 2.

My definition of the square root is as follows: the square root of a positive real number x is the positive number, noted √x, such that (√x) ^ 2 = x. To make this a useable definition, we need to prove that equation has a solution (using the fact the function t -> t^2 is zero for t=0, diverges to +inf when t -> +inf, and is continuous between the two) and that solution is unique (using the fact the same function is strictly increasing).

Do you have any other definition of √x?
It's been confirmed that you cannot

Exactly. Apple is good at product design and hardware/software integration.

AR/VR is much more difficult than people expected, there are fundamental issues, on the optical side (lenses, projection, depth, fov) and on the 6DOF tracking side (latency, robustness, occlusion handling.

Once all of that is really working, then we cal talk about batteries, weight, design, software.

I am not convinced that AR/VR is something that will replace screens any time soon.

It is a good reminder that technology improvement is not a given and not magical, it is pushed by hard work and quite often the results are not there.

In the 60s many people were convinced that flying cars, domestic robots and spaceships were only a few decades away.

> there is whole universe of intense tastes unavailable to traditional western cuisine that doesn't burn your tongue a bit

FWIW, I agree with everything you said, but I'd like to point out there's a ton of spices used in western cuisine too.

For example, in my hometown (central Italy) we use a lot of wild fennel pollen, which goes on basically everything. In Hungary fennel seeds, marjoram, paprika and turmeric are in practically every kitchen.

Star anise, nutmeg, saffron, mace, clove etc.. have been used in western cuisine for centuries too, and are used in very traditional western dishes (french onion soup, bechamel sauce, risotto alla milanese etc)

Western cuisine certainly uses less spices than the indian subcontinent, but I would not say the spices were unavailable to western cuisine.
> Just make the regular veggie burgers better and cheaper.

These burgers are out there already, for what it's worth. Veggie burgers nowadays are very tasty, very healthy, and mostly made of ground/diced vegetables and legumes. But they don't have the marketing hype that comes with "plant based food that bleeds!" so meat eating individuals didn't and don't even consider them as an option.

Police typically have a 5 year period they want for zero drug involvement. The military is more dependent on the position and clearance level, but the max limit numbers are arbitrarily set. They set the numbers high enough to make recruiting possible, but it isn’t based off of any science.
The biggest flop about it is it's higher carbs than normal meat. Steak and things like that typically have zero or near zero carbs per serving. This plant-based stuff is carby as hell, so keto people are going to avoid it, and basically everyone is keto right now in some capacity. If it was zero carb, people would put up with the taste and increased cost.
Apple is probably like "let's just wait this out and let Zuck take all the heat and pain of getting this figured out. By that time he'll be out of money and we'll look like the heroes for fixing everything. If we go in too early with even a 90% baked product we have nothing to gain."

I got an immigration official very worried when I was asked whether I'd ever been convicted of any "crimes of moral turpitude" and asked whether they could tell me what that meant before I answered. They had to go print out a dictionary definition.

(I had never been convicted of any crimes, so admittedly I could have just said "no" without causing a scene.)

However, I do find it slightly dishonest that there's a "remove" button but it does not remove anything :) So I just wanted to let people know about that.
Isn't that mostly because android devices use the old school "picture transfer protocol" mode, which involves a round trip to the device for every single object in a directory, rather than being able to just retrieve a directory listing in all one request like typical filesystems.
In that vein I highly recommend Foundations and Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics by Howard Eves. I think it might be a little dated, but it gives an amazing overview of the most important developments in mathematics that were relevant at the time. It's less focused on practice (though there are some problems) and more on the history and motivation behind the ideas. This book introduced me to axiomatics, non-Euclidean geometry, quaternions, and abstract algebra in my senior year of high-school.
I'm so happy to hear that! I've always loved this little book (even if it's completely independent of the math needed for my work).

In a similar spirit, but with a much more geometrical flavor, there is Evans-Gariepy.

I went the opposite direction and built a static site generator on top of Rails: https://sitepress.cc/

Turns out, Rails is a really good web framework! I tried building Sitepress on something “light weight”, Tilt and Rack, and it was a pain. I found myself constantly solving the same problems that were already solved in Rails. At some point it dawned on me that I could just build on top of a few parts of Rails, so I did. I wrote about it at https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/single-file-rails-app/

I’m glad I did! Now I can plug all of the Rails template handlers, view components, and other Rails plugins into it and ride off that entire community’s docs.

If you find yourself thinking, “rails is too heavy”, consider shedding the parts of Rails that you don’t need. Then as your application grows in complexity and you find yourself needing more parts of Rails, bring it back in.
I'll repeat myself: it's very obvious in context that they meant the positive solution of xˆ2 = 2.

My definition of the square root is as follows: the square root of a positive real number x is the positive number, noted √x, such that (√x) ^ 2 = x.

Do you have any other definition of √x?

Chicken is not red meat, and also it's an healthy meat ( not sure if in USA chickens are pumped with weird stuff that makes them unhealthy ), you can make a light version of schnitzel by using chicken breast ( mostly protein, low fat ), some healthy oil like EVO oil to shallow fry it, and you should be good ( also if you are worried about cholesterol you can avoid eggs and use other ingredients like oil to make the breadcrumbs/panko/flour/semola stick to the meat )

PS: I'm not a doctor, to my knowledge this is a healthy dish but if you have any health issue I recommend first talking with someone with a specialisation to know how much is healthy and much you can eat of it

So... what if your inner critic doesn't believe any of the affirmations?
It actually does (to an extent). There are BEGIN and END blocks (not used that much in regular scripting but they exist). There are also a bunch of perl command flags that can make things more awk-ish or sed-ish.

Print shops nearly always print multiple copies/multiple pages of a job onto larger sheets and them cut and collate them afterwards, as the print step takes the longest time which includes moving sheets in and starting the print and then stopping the print and moving the result out.

An A1 sheet can fit 4x A3 posters, 8x A4 pages or 16x A5 flyer/booklet pages without any wastage, so all you need is a single A1 printer.
I've successfully used it from Clojure (I think it's through JRuby). With a few lines of code you can configure AsciiDoctor to whatever you need. It's way easier than fiddling at the command-line (I couldn't immediately understand how to get extensions and how it played with whatever version of the software I got through `apt`). It'd be good to have alternatives just for the sake of it - but I didn't find anything particularly lacking

To imagine history, and all of its consequences, dies with one generation is a view you obviously do not hold. And so I do not believe you are arguing in good faith.

Yeah, which is why people tell themselves that their self doubt is just "impostor syndrome", there is no way they actually are bad its just them underestimating themselves! We all know how research shows how humans usually underestimates their own capabilities, right???

But I guess if that makes them happy why not. But it gets old quick when everyone says they have impostor syndrome.
Most cattle doesn’t graze, and grazing being “good” for the land is contentious.

Most cattle eats soy beans and stuff like that. Incidentally, crops grown for cattle are a big driver of Amazon rainforest destruction.

This is all widely known at this point.

Cattle also emits significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

So overall cattle is far far worse environmentally, having all the bad things your comment cited about an order of magnitude worse than the food your comment cited.
The fundamental problem is that everyone has a different reason for wanting plant-based meat/fake meat. So by any particular metric, they have failed.

Some people want fake meat to be a 1:1 meat substitute because they love meat but can't eat it (allergies, cardiovascular, etc). Some people want cheaper meat because quality meat you can trust has grown too expensive. Some people want more vegan/vegetarian options because they object to killing animals or economic externalities that cattle grazing causes. Some people want meat-based substitutes because the companies are public and they are looking for the next unicorn to invest in.

The problem is, those looking for meat substitute think it isn't close enough, those who want cheaper meat think it's too expensive, vegans/vegetarians have actually vegetable based options and aren't necessarily looking for fake meat at all, and investors fell for hype.

Every one of these entities has a different metric, and several of them are at odds with each other. In my opinion, if plant-based meat turns out to be a flop, it will be because its core market is too many different groups and it'll never satiate all of them.

Case in point - read the comments on this article. Everyone has a different reason for wanting or not wanting this stuff.

Yes, api definitions are in code, but what our customers see is just as valuable.

If it’s not what they want, and they can’t support themselves with the doc we write we’ll be in a hellish back and forth with them.

The truth is that most men get nothing from dating services. It’s only the top few percent of men who are getting substantial attention. Even then - of the friends I know who are getting some attention, they say it’s a huge mental drain because they have to be a jester to entertain so many women in order to get anywhere. These are above average men but not very good looking men. The good looking men don’t even have to try - the mental effort is low.

Because children lack the sufficient agency and maturity to advocate for themselves in the workplace, and therefore are historically (and in some parts of the world still are) an extremely exploited workforce.

In short, it's illegal in order to protect children from abuse. And it's not just "think of the children" either. Children in the workflow are not on an equal footing with adults and are an easy target.

As for the specific legal carve outs that you mention, those are generally crafted to ensure that children are very protected in the workplace, putting serious limitations on what their employers are allowed to ask them to do, the amount of hours and such. It also makes sure the parents are involved as an advocate for the child because again the child is not really mature enough to be their own advocate.

Anyways, I think what you'll find is that many people who did work quite young don't actually think it was all that valuable. My girlfriend worked at a public library after school starting at 13. She enjoyed it but doesn't think it was that useful for her career. I started working in a call center at 14, and other than spending money it was kinda worthless to me.

The kinds of work that kids can do is severely limited. Even a decade of experience doing it is not going to put them further ahead than high school and university.
Yeah just having some kind of display would be huge, partly for integration with voice controller AI tools. Using Siri would be so much easier with a visual GUI aspect so it could show you options, let you quickly skim and skip to what you want it to do, etc.
