You're misremembering somewhat. God agrees not to destroy the city if Abraham can find 10 honest men. In the end it turns out there's only 1 (named Lot) and this isn't enough, so God has his angels escort Lot and his family out of the city before smiting it. Oddly, this determination of honesty is based on Lot extending hospitality to two angelic visitors sent to test him and defending his guests from the rapacious townspeople; Lot offers to let the crowd ravage his daughters instead but the townspeople decline his offer. No word on how the daughters felt about this.
It probably has measurable impacts at manufacturers’ scale in repairs. Even if you didn’t consciously shower with a phone, it could rain which to a phone is same as owner taking it to a shower.
Our experience is opposite. We started with GetX because we were new. Then moved to Riverpod/Go-Router as we gained experience. We have a set-up of four modules (shared lib; shared ui; app1 and app2) for two apps targeting web+ios+android; about 50k LoC @ 160 line length.

Obviously there were a lot of friction when moving out of GetX, but upgrading things have always been easy. Usually at most one day worth of work (worst case). We don't upgrade as soon as a new flutter version is released. We give it a month at least and then upgrade.

During upgrade, most of the problems usually come from 3P dependencies which interact with native such as package info plus. Also, we don't add dependencies unless we really need to. I think we are at ~30 total between all modules.

On the other hand, our react projects are forever in dependency hell. Much larger project, yes but way too many dependencies and too many things break during upgrade.
Observations on Seven Years of Maintaining Open Source
> Facebook isn't doing this out of the kindness of their hearts

Personally, I don't care if they had a plan to profit from this move as long as it brings value for the public, it's a win-win action.
Huge topic, but briefly, we use a combination of RSS, scrapers, and official APIs to obtain article/post text. As far as clustering, it's a combination of text analysis, link analysis, and editorial input. I don't expect us to open source much of our code unless we find a new source of revenue!

I don't see a problem with charging for a product (I feel like this sentiment isn't exactly unique here on HN). Just like I don't see a problem in Reddit charging these 3rd party apps to play ball. But the pricing was not grounded in reality, certainly not with but a 30-day notice. All of the developers whose apps will be shutdown at the end of the month are on record saying they were more than willing to pay a fee to access the API, but that the cost and timeline is absolutely impossible.

Particularly, with Apollo, many of his customers were on annual subs, and even if he started charging more to pay API price increase, if his customers would even bear it, it will still take much longer than a month to make that transition.

There really is no defense for the timeline Reddit put forward for this sweeping change.

The standard is that 3rd party apps must be in the format: "X for reddit". So, Reddit Sync became Sync for reddit, and Reddit News became Relay for reddit.
> Ideally your incentives get aligned such that you're not spending your enthusiasm on your employer, but on yourself via your employer.

If the "via" here is "by giving me money to do what I want", then I agree. GP is arguing that fulfillment from work is necessary to be an enthusiast, thus the assumption that your response is related.

Even in the purely financial scenario though, aren't the incentives still in conflict? If both you and your employer's incentive is "earn as much money as possible", then you are both vying for the same pool of profit.
There is a standardized Bluetooth protocol called the “Messaging Access Protocol”. Any Bluetooth device that you connect to the phone can work with that protocol and send and receive messages. It worked with my old 2011 Ford Fusion.

Quote from article: Reddit CEO Steve Huffman… is apparently unaware that Reddit's success is because of the posts by the users that use the service in all of its forms

If Reddit starts losing popularity due to this incident (and that is not guaranteed by far) this is going to be the money quote which sums up the entire situation. An unaware CEO unable to understand his own product nor users.

With that said I think there is a strong chance that this will end up being a tempest in a teapot - there doesn’t seem to be any immediately obvious damage to the Reddit brand because of the blackout.

FYI, those people were talking about the future of AI.
You could always take the output and write it to a file, run a compiler on it, and feed the results back into the AI, automatically.

This just makes it easier to build systems like that or the system to be more efficient. For example, you can give it a function to call to replace some text in a file. Whereas before you needed to come up with some custom scheme with a diff format or sed call or something which was prone to breaking due to things like minor AI "typos" or newlines etc.

This also makes it easy to implement an interface to things like a compiler or other command line tools so the AI can call them itself if necessary. Such as for installing packages or initializing a project.

Before you had to keep begging GPT to follow some protocol with file outputs or something. Although GPT-4 was much better (but cost 10X more).

> On the other hand, if he's a good farmer, and the farm produces well, and he doesn't over-extend his risk on what he's committing to, he now has a fixed price contract for his goods, which isn't going to fluctuate based on time (assuming the contract is honoured - if he's worried about that, Jeremy could then buy insurance on the risk of a default on the contract

So basically a third party would step in to assure him that he'd be paid the fixed price for a small fee? Are there no repercussions if the contract isnt honored?
Yes, but it's reasonable to note such things instead of simply derogating the remark.
No, it's more like watching a slow-motion car-wreck where all the participants already knew they were drunk and their brake lines had been cut.

I'm a little surprised that brakes and such aren't electronic. I've seen wireless shifters on bicycles. And the gearing is something I would fully expect to be beyond most home mechanics. That is, I'm surprised the transmissions haven't gotten a bit more involved.

I suppose the market catered to itself, and things were kept more home serviceable for longer?
As an immigrant in the US, I don't understand this talk about higher bar for US immigration. The US selects immigrants by luck and persistence rather than by talent. Anyone with a professional job offer is qualified for an H-1B visa, but it usually takes luck to get one. Similarly, anyone with a professional job offer can get a green card, but the process is long, expensive, and unpredictable.
Tesla does provide crash statistics.

Those stats used to be criticized on the basis that AutoPilot was driving predominantly highway miles and it’s safety record was being compared to overall driving crash statistics which have much more non-highway driving.

Now Tesla breaks out AutoPilot and FSD statistics and shows that FSD driving, noting that those miles are predominantly non-highway, still has 5x fewer crashes per million miles than average.

As you can see, the goalposts moved however. Now the “standard” for convincing stats includes controlling for road surfaces, weather patterns, and phase of the moon.

Pro-tip from a guy whose first computer had a monochrome display:

Going to war with your community never ends well for a forum. Specifically going to war with power users ends very poorly.

Treating your forum community poorly is like treating your developer community poorly:

You won’t see the impact at first, because it occurs on a side of the platform not immediately monetized.

Short term ad revenue comes from lurkers.

But the content that drives them to your site? That is generated, managed, and made possible by power users.
I think it's because of the popularity of Apollo. I know that's the only app I use for Reddit.

> protect circuitry (which is inside the battery package) will most likely cut power

I wonder if that's responsible for the experiences folks had way before waterproof phones were introduced: they would drop their phone into water, it would shut off and refuse to boot for a significant amount of time (enough to send them shopping for a replacement) and then they'd try it a week later only to find that it works fine. Accelerated by putting it in a bag with rice or other desiccant.
DISCLAIMER: all advice given here is given under the assumption that you did your research, and that you have good reasons why you're interested in psychedelics as a tool. They're a powerful tool, and powerful tools cut both ways. Turning into a new age woo head is a real risk, I've seen it happen to the staunchest of sceptics, no one is immune. Do your research, people, test your drugs, and be careful.

I think this research sort of puts the kibosh on microdosing as a paradigm, which has been my intuition all along. If you really want the potential from psychedelics, microdosing is sort of the wrong approach I always thought.

What you want to do instead is take them maybe once a year at most, though just one trip in a lifetime can be sufficient depending on your situation, then spend the following period of plasticity putting a lot of effort into changing your life the way you want to, establish habits, pick up new techniques, whatever it is you want to accomplish. You will learn faster, be more able to establish habits. And that learning is forever. You can reap the benefits for the rest of your life, completely sober.

I have done extensive self experimentation with microdosing of various psychedelics and the results were fairly clear to me. I felt smarter, and overall pretty great. I felt like I was making all these brilliant connections. But whenever there was an objective source of truth available, it became clear this was all an illusion, I was struggling to make connections that would otherwise be obvious to me, and that made it feel more significant than it was.

Chess, for instance, was one such source of truth. Played a couple long games against evenly matched opponent(rated and everything). Made a complete ass of myself. Played easily 3-400 elo points below my usual level. And all the while thinking I was playing brilliantly and calculating deep lines, I was really just imagining lines that never worked. My working memory was terrible. Time management completely off.

I’ve been writing mobile apps since 2013. Cross Platform UI is a myth. Just use a framework and language you are familiar or comfortable with. I prefer native so I just stick to that. You are sure to be most productive in languages you are familiar with rather than any new/old cross platform UI framework.
Just be cognizant of the fact that all of them have trade offs.
Proud to see my name (https://twitter.com/YingjunWu) mentioned in Andy's blog. I was Andy's visiting PhD at CMU and was the top 1 contributor to Peloton (https://github.com/cmu-db/peloton).

Today, building a database from scratch is extremely difficult, for several reasons:
1. it anyways takes a long time;
2. there are so many successful (open-source) databases;
3. hiring top engineers are so expensive.
4. you won't get enough attention unless your system is drastically better than existing ones.

An interesting observation is that very few database was built since 2020 - almost all the newly built databases were developed on top of existing databases (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, etc).

I started building RisingWave (https://github.com/risingwavelabs/risingwave) in early 2021. The only reason we built the system from scratch was that none of the existing systems can address the problem we are solving - distributed SQL stream processing at cloud scale. We tried Flink but gave up, as it's too heavy and it's architecture was not designed for the cloud environment.

If you want to build a database from scratch, or are simply interested in databases, we may talk.

This is the third wave of gentrification on reddit. This has all happened before including reddit kicking off/out mods that closed their subreddits in protest. I know because it happened to me in wave 2.

For all the people that leave there are plenty of Facebook refugees trickling in at the same rate. Reddit doesn't want it's power users, it wants Facebook/etc's users and cares nothing for it's original userbase (or culture, as shown by the post-VC capital emphasis on posting to /u/ user profiles instead of subreddits).
To any mods facing similar pressure: you can implement ridiculous rules. Like how Reddit is fine with r/Superbowl deleting any post that isn't a picture of an owl.

Might I recommend requiring all posts to your sub to tag u/spez, or having an even number of characters, etc. All of which can easily be done with Automod.

This lets you to moderate your subreddit and enforce the rules while allowing it to wither on the vine.

I'm curious how common it is for that kind of connection to be made in an obituary. Not that I have a strong opinion one way or the other here, but in my understanding, obits typically cover the life of the individual and the direct impact of their work -- notably, not the impact of others inspired by their work?

First hit is always free.

Don’t forget what your dealing with here: The faceless, amoral, infinitely ravenous, maw of the most efficient personal data succubus in history. Make no mistake this is something like “goodwill capture” instead of “regulatory capture.”

I see no way that this diminishes Meta’s power in any way - arguably it strengthens it by making it easier to choose a Meta architecture instead of creating a competing FOSS architecture.

So arguably all this does is raise the FOSS bar technically further entrench Meta - AND with the most important thing, having thousands of developers prime their data architectures for Meta models to eventually serve from a Meta account.

And once it’s widespread enough to lock you in, those commercial terms, whoops they changed!

At 21, I did a 6 month sabbatical from college just to experiment with psychedelics.

Here's a few things I did while tripping:
- Took a hike
- Danced in nature at the sunset
- Listened to music (1st time listening Pink Floyd, the TDSOTM is a must!)
- Took a swim in my hometown cold river
- Experienced the "yin-yang" almost as an emotion-like feeling. Observing on top of my hometown mountains the greenery growing up on top of the charcoal again, after 2 years, when wildfires took 80% out. The moon and sun being present helped.
- Walked around and explored a new city with music on (I was with friends, they were sober)
- Painted and did drawings (I suck at it, it was incredible just seeing the ink flow out of the pen)
- I meditated
- I wrote about stuff
- I explored the online content people make (r/LSD has a list of links + a lot of people on these communities provide a lot of interesting content)
- felt like a Neanderthal eating a very juicy peach for the first time by doing exactly the same
- masturbation (as demisexual, I wish I could had met someone who I could have sex with)
- I played computer and felt like a god (usually I'm a noob, on that day I was truly overpowered)
- I went to the beach
- To the raves (I hated it!)
- I observed animals
- I climbed some trees
- I spent time with friends

So... ye. You can literally do anything and you'll have a radically different experience from what you would normally feel. Just seek out information first how to do it carefully. I would also not advise leaving to far from home until you understand the dosages and the impact it has on you.

Not trying to victim blame you but I will, Facebook/Insta/Twitter are not exactly reliable marketplace. Never ever order stuff from social media websites. Thats why they are called that.
Rather than arguing with him about racism I tried explaining the commercial logic behind the decision, pointing out that advertisers would like to reach black consumers and if the original show was popular with a black audience then recycling the successful formula was a safer commercial decision than trying to build a new brand, but he kept going on about his heritage being stolen. I guess this means all the Fred Savage statues will have to come down.

I don't watch television much except for a little bit of news and local weather, but it seems to me there's always about the same number of family-centered sitcoms and dramas set in the present, about one's parents generation (nostalgia aimed at 30 something starting a family) and grandparents or older ancestors (mythmaking, culture reproduction). Sitcoms are like the McRib of television; they generally don't age well but since they come and go as the cast ages out it's easy to get teary-eyed at how great they used to be.
Yeah there's a lot of different ways to count something like that to get the result you want. Torture the numbers and they will confess.

You need to iterate. I've had decent luck having it "fill in the blanks" of a spec, then produce outlines of code with placeholders, then fill in placeholders. Granted, each time with me in the loop to go "hold on, do this slightly differently". So basically treating it as a junior doing the typing and gruntwork, while providing regular feedback on the direction. But you need to effectively constantly refine and narrow down a harness it can be told to work within. But that's often how I work on my own as well, so that's fine.
