The app: https://onin.co

With a founding team of just two we closed a seed round of £2.75M in July 2022. We’ve since hired two engineers. We plan on keeping the engineering team as small as possible with a highly selective hiring process. Our app is built in React Native but we are only considering candidates with significant Swift / Objective-C experience as building a high quality app often requires dipping into the native APIs. This is an opportunity to be part of a founding team building a high quality product.

You're right. But I'm not doing that. I view the data collection and the use the data is put to as adversarial, not necessarily the efforts to sell me things.

Although that can be very adversarial, too, depending on how the sales effort is conducted.

I'm not able to auto-generate notes, then delete some of them.

e.g., a row contains the auto-generated notes:

I can't remove 1,2,3 from the first cell.
Respectfully disagree. I'd argue that those are just fronts 4Chan hopes to hide behind so that it can remain a cesspool.

> I've read about many dismissals that were challenged, and I've never heard the institution defend itself on the grounds that tenure isn't actually guaranteed, but is just a social expectation.

Lots of colleges and universities have done layoffs and cut academic programs. They don't even say it's a social expectation, they just say they're laying off faculty and leave it at that, no explanation required.

I've never actually heard of a role reduction successfully challenged. The usual cases that get contested are firing for cause, not layoffs.

Also: note that even the AAUP allows universities to lay off tenured faculty. They just insist that the non-tenured faculty get axed first. Labor solidarity n'at.
Honestly, other than being comfortable with your material, I'm not sure you can really prepare for getting up on stage in front of 100s or 1000s of people.

Most of us should probably do proper dress rehearsals more. I always mentally walkthrough a presentation a few times but I often don't do an actual run-through--except those times when I miss switching the video on for a recorded presentation :-) And it really does help. I always make some changes if I'm giving a presentation more than once.

Record yourself. We all have both speech and physical tics.

That said, I've done this a lot. And the bar to getting materially better was probably a bunch of professional voice coaching and speaker training years ago.

> A STEM PhD, after 10-20 years in tech or finance, IS an independently wealthy person... that's the whole point.

Was an independently wealthy person, as the US job market was rigged to favor upper middle class professionals. Nobody knows if that's going to be the case for the fresh PhDs entering the job market today. Those lucrative careers may be threatened by any number of reasons, including political pressure and/or instability, more PhDs entering the industry, increasing competition due to remote work, and AI.
Like, when does it stop being "we're playing spy" and becomes "daddy won't let me come over and play because he says your toaster told google about me".

AidKit | Remote | Full-time | https://aidkit.org | $130k + equity | Social Impact / GovTech | TypeScript

AidKit runs the largest guaranteed income programs in the country. We replace convoluted workflows of glued together spreadsheets, bank portals and human tedium with one unified platform to allow organizations that do good, to do so faster and more effectively. AidKit is in many ways a technological petri dish to explore how we can bring the leverage of a bespoke software team to those without a software background through domain modeling and low-code tooling.

We're looking for an experienced all-around engineer (frontend & backend) who cares about our mission to bring good software to doing good. You'll work (with me!) as part of our small tech team. Our stack is mostly Typescript and Postgres (with some Python that we're deprecating).

We're bootstrapped and profitable.

I would like to highlight another aspect of the academia that has come to the fore in the past 15 years, which is the rapid rise of the publication indices such as the citations count and H-index. I blame Google Scholar and Analytics.

The indices have brought about a number of new problems. The goal in academia is no longer primarily production of science, but mostly maximizing these indices ( see here “I am a bigger guy”). The number of co-authors have as a result greatly increased, with politicians and research managers becoming skilled in putting their names in like tens of papers a year. Savvy junior players are also learning to foster as many “collaboration opportunities” as possible. Another practice is permutation of authors: it costs me nothing to put your name at the end of my paper, and you do the same, so that our citations counts go up.
Of course, in practice, I noticed, this often involves minor contributions.
I think the ability “to collaborate“ will gradually be an official job requirement.

Another striking feature of academia is the pyramidal structure of the system and rent-seeking. The professor collects the credit for the work of the students and postdocs. Of course there is some contribution, but a lot of time it’s commentary. When the researchers leave, the professor can hire new researchers to continue the topic. The credit for the professor adds up to a career on that topic. The career brings new grants, citations, awards, etc, all the while the professor is essentially acting as a manager than a scientist.

> Wow someone really ought to let the rest of the world outside of America know.

It's exactly the same as you describe in many European cities. When you pack houses next to each other and stack apartments on top one of another, which is the definition of a city, you get concrete. Lots of concrete.

Sure some European cities may have historical city center totally car free but most restaurants have outdoor terrace on regular streets, complete with cars, lots of people passing by, noise (not just from cars) and dog poo.

I agree with you one point: it's not a relaxing environment to eat.
Correction on this someone else sent me:

The check of interest is for a Mark Of The Web[0] flag that Windows includes in file system metadata. The builtin unzipping utility just faithfully propagates this flag to the files it unpacks. Other utilities like 7zip are unlikely to do this propagation (effectively clearing it).

But yeah either way it has nothing to do with code signing!

That does look reasonable. Seems like a lower spec though, 1/2 the ram, fairly slow CPU, single ethernet (instead of two 2.5G ethernets ports). I do like usb-c for a power supply over whatever custom wall wart+barrel connector.

I'm curious about the Celeron N4020 vs rk3588. Keep in mind that the rk3588 vs Pi4 isn't really in the same class. In a compile based benchmark my rk3588 was 7 times as fast as the Pi4. JeffG's geekbench multi placed it 3+ times faster than the Pi4. On the same compile benchmark the rk3588 was about half as fast as my quad core xeon system from 2015, not bad for a few watts.

Do you have a transcoding benchmark you prefer to compare? Or something else media related? Or storage? JeffG managed 3GB/sec which is pretty respectable for a small/cheap widget.

> The American Coalition for Ocean Protection includes another group, “Protect Our Coast NJ,” that makes similar grassroots appeals for members of the public to oppose offshore wind turbines over environmental concerns, claiming the projects will lead to an “industrialization of our ocean” with turbine towers that threaten marine and bird life. The group makes no donor information public, but a link redirects viewers to donate to the Caesar Rodney Institute.

> The appeals are especially insidious given that less than a decade ago, in 2014, the Caesar Rodney Institute sponsored a study that promoted drilling off of the shores of Maryland and Delaware, touting the benefits of offshore oil for jobs, energy independence, and boosted economic development.

Book Review: _Grokking Continuous Delivery_ by Christie Wilson
> Yeah, you who else else doesn't require many hours of training to carry a weapon, hell! any amount of hours, everybody.

Admittedly, I'm not personally familiar with gun control regulations but I get the feeling it's a fair bit more complicated than that. Regardless, not everybody has the authority that comes with being a police officer so it's hard to see that the author is getting ahead of themselves per this argument. Certainly we can complain about a lack of standard training (or the poor quality thereof) for police officers.
Zoe is good, but (to my ear) this is far superior. Zoe is still in the uncanny valley. This feels completely natural.
I agree it's not a fair comparison. However, that doesn't preclude it from being a better choice. The used SBC market seems to be extremely small compared to other used markets, and with less of a markdown. It's hard to even find new SBCs in some cases, especially not marked up.
> Second, you assert that being in the overwhelmingly dominant racial group, the overwhelmingly dominant sexual orientation and the undeniably dominant gender should somehow be interpreted at "counterculture" even though the group that fits that definition is numerically larger, wealthier, and politically empowered than any other group.

And yet, it's remarkably unpopular to announce the simple truism that "white lives matter", or that "it's ok to be white", and our top universities interrogate "whiteness" as problematic, so evidently much further nuance is required between numerical size and cultural sway.
Let's stop calling "dynamic" and "static" versus "runtime" and "comptime" instead ?

Also, "dynamic code generation" for "meta programming" ?
Tough crowd today... My comment was a reference to xkcd: https://xkcd.com/378/

Regarding your second point, this is exactly why I like Vue and Svelte so much over React (which I am also quite familiar with). Coming from a design background and having learned HTML/CSS first, the Svelte and Vue approach to SFCs and templating makes it far easier to understand, write, and visually parse than React where everything is always JS first. I can't think of a situation where Svelte/Vue limited me from doing something you can do in React, and Svelte/Vue make getting into a codebase far more accessible for people with a wider range of skillsets.

The secondary effects of React's popularity have been a significant loss in emphasis on HTML and CSS skills over doing everything in JS which often results in div-soup that is less performant and less capable. HTML and CSS not being first class-citizens as they are in other frameworks means developers simply aren't encouraged to learn them nearly as well as they used to.

Front-end frameworks should not be just for front-end developers. They should be understandable and accessible to people who are not JS first and who come from backgrounds that are not purely engineering. In my experience it is much easier to teach someone familiar with design and HTML/CSS how to explore a Vue or Svelte codebase than a React one, and the JS devs I have worked with who fully learn these libraries have not complained about any limitations compared to React.
> You wonder how pockets of this survive when top management comes and goes, who sometimes only know the company as just some logo or another corporation to be managed

I mean, no, right? Obviously no? Is this even a question? I can think of many significant countercultures across all sorts of political spectrums?
I prefer cold showers, and have the opposite complaint. Most valves are over-optimized for 'normal' shower temp ranges, and still mix in a lot of hot water even on the coldest setting, which makes taking a really cold shower impossible.
The hard part of programming was always gathering requirements accurately and architecting a solution to meet those requirements. All this does is automate out the easier parts.

(Almost) nobody is hand-crafting screws and nails anymore. It doesn't mean that those people don't have something to do, we just produce many more screws and nails at a much higher quality than before. The people do other things at a higher level of abstraction.

Now, eventually, general purpose strong AI will emerge that is capable of filling those roles that occupy the higher level abstraction niches. Once that happens we're entering a phase change in how cognition works in our little corner of the universe, and all bets are off.
I'd agree with your general point on the overabundance of mediocre quality recipes, but the availability of quality literature isn't really in question to me. There are plenty of reliable sources that publish good cooking manuals that are widely available (even in used book stores). This is more a problem with consumers not using their own discretion or doing proper research, but also with people publishing shoddy excuses for recipes that do not appear to have been tested.

Ross ordered and paid a lot of money for 6 murders. Thankfully those didn't happen, because he was scammed, but he thought that he was paying for real murders.

That's a deeply flawed statement on a number of levels, here's a few:

1. Hippies were ~1960s. Children of hippies would then be adults in the ~1980s, and would be grandparents now. Tenderloin's median age[1] is 38, or 20 years too young

2a. Hippies pushed marijuana and psychedelics. Weed has a 10% addiction rate. LSD and psilocybin have no addiction rate.

2b. Drugs that are addictive (heroin) had complex, controversial and conspiratorial factors [2] (and that's aside from the complexity of "addiction" itself)

2c. Alcohol and alcoholism had (and has) way more impact.

3a. Family instability (re: divorce rates) occurs in far, far more places than the hippy movement.

3b. Just because a family is stable doesn't mean it produces healthy adults

It would be nice if it would be free knowledge. But, like the rest of the internet, wikipedia became a victim of people with an agenda (to not say 3 letter agencies).
Side note about rapid API, I originally built https://text-generator.io on rapid API but I got 0 customers there, you would think you could just look on rapid API to see the gaps, there wasn't and still isn't a good alternative to text-generator.io on there but that doesn't guarantee anything, market research takes a lot of thought and the product needs constant marketing just like all businesses, I had to launch it as its own website for it to get users, so there's a lot more that goes into it than just building the right API.

I've also had customers scared off or investors not want to invest because it is a plain API platform and not B2C...

To answer the question market research is kind of the only way to know, Google adwords keyword planner and Google trends are quite good, as well as researching the companies in the same space well and what gaps there APIs have.

As an example https://text-generator.io distinguishes itself from OpenAI by including automatic analysis for input links, linked images, documents etc and doing speech to text/self hosting/embedding images, text and code in the same space, so isn't just an API clone
