The TrashCan is 10 years old. It had only Thunderbolt 2 and gigabit ethernet.

We've also got USB-C in the meantime, including a lot of USB-C displays.

So I think this is a case of "too early". The market looks very different today at how fast external communication is.

I'd say that MacStudio is really todays TrashCan. Much better timing, so much better success.
Love to see it. Happy paying customer here.
Their product is great and I actually found myself enjoying their AI integrations as well. Specifically their universal summarizer is surprisingly good. But that's just an added Bonus. I'm primarily very happy that I can use a search engine that is incentivised to build a great search product because their revenue depends on it.
My wife and I both had these, we loved them and I agree it fits the description perfectly. However, both of them failed for us right around the time the warranty expired in the same way - the watch worked fine but refused to charge. My wife managed to get hers replaced, but mine failed just after a year and they refused to replace it. I decided not to get another one because of this, but I do miss it and there’s really no other I’ve found like it.
> Do you think the Mojeek index is good enough to compete with Google?

As a back-end for something like Kagi, it's sure getting there. Most of what sets Google apart is their exceptional level of user profiling. The actual indexing technology is likely on par with most of their competition.

Of course very little of that enters into API queries.
Especially for media studios with lots of data to digest. They eat all of these PCI slots up probably.

As someone who started when CSS was so underpowered that layout was still done with <table>… I remember the introduction of every new CSS feature, and I will cherish them all forever.

The introduction of flexbox was like Christmas to me, and CSS grid was all my birthdays and Christmases at once.

It’s definitely much easier when you learn all of these features as a drip drip drip over decades.

I can’t imagine picking up CSS from scratch as a new dev in 2023. It must be extremely intimidating.

Although on balance, I’d say that despite the extra features, CSS is a lot simpler now than it was in the 00s and early 10s. The rendering engines are much better and agree almost all the time, in the past you’d spend a most of your time debugging your layout in different browsers, or fighting CSS to get it to get it to make the layout that you want (and eventually giving up and using a table)

i wouldn't mind this gibberish if the article would at least make clear afterwards what this is supposed to mean. but i can't find any explanation of the gravitational dynamics at play or even a description how exactly this is measured. 100m relative to what? i mean isn't sea level always 0m by definition? even on that "dip" sea level is 0m. so there is some assumed distance between sea surface and something else. an ideal circumference around the equator with the same volume (or technically area) of air under it as water over it? like an x-axis going through a sinus curve?

one might argue that sth like that shouldn't show up on the hn front page. but maybe the meta message and discussion of the quality of sa journalism is worth the +31 points.

Such a bizarre take.

Many countries have national ID systems that are compulsory (or effectively compulsory) and do not fall under any reasonable definition of a "police state"
The pixelbar had just had a safety inspection (as much as the whole space) and its kind of an irony that it burned down after that was passed.
The general problem was that not the Hackerspace itself burned down but the building around it. There is lots of media coverage on that https://www.flashphoto.nl/nieuws/13281/zeer-grote-uitslaande... gives an idea.
There were lots of small companies in that space that worked in various areas. It is unknown where the fire broke out and given that the building is now taken down it is unlikely that we ever find out. Noone got hurt which is the most important part.

I wrote a bit about the fire and the follow up at https://milliways.social/@mcfly/110620505067543759 if you want to be updated.

Returning new HTML blobs will never be faster than an equivalent AJAX roundtrip. In other words, if AJAX is slow when "literally blocking", fetching new HTML is at least that slow as well.

Static HTML only has a potential latency benefit on first load due to the ability to save render-blocking resource roundtrips. For later requests where those resources are already fetched, it only adds bandwidth overhead.

seriously ! everything in life is cost / result equations .... it might be easier for some than others to start a company (network, location, background, experince, timing, team, intelligence ...) but everyone pays something in exchange for a result.

your emotional labor as a founder is clearly a huge one, you should be aware of it, but the article is foundementally ignoring that fact that there is a price for everything.

we all so the "pasty" elon musk ... it's not that it's the only way to build amazing things and so many people look that way playing video games ....

my point is, anyone wants to build something and not pay for it (emotionally, financially, reputation ....) is just unaware what the word build means.
Conversely, your approach has been used to justify the most abhorrent programming practices even perpetrated on mankind. What you get are not carefully chosen abstractions, but custom mini-languages with no specification masquerading as the original language by redefining basic primitives, a dependency hell to arbitrary and non maintained weekend projects someone dumped on github, which would have been easy to write in terms of the standard library - if only the original author knew its capabilities - but now they must be reverse-engineered from context etc.

The maintainer is not ready for a paradigm shift because they will not own your program in perpetuity. Even you yourself ran away and abandoned it, so how can you expect someone else to love it more? No, the maintainer has a limited time and attention span to work on a specific bug or feature, and your code is either maintainable or it's not.

In terms of medical help, the NHS is focusing on preventing the headaches. I've been prescribed topirimate, which gave me horrible side effects (stopped after 3 days), and small dosage amitriptyline, which I'm currently decreasing the dose of in order to get off of because it's not helping and it also gives me side effects. I've got an MRI scheduled in 3 months time. It's all moving quite slowly, and the focus on headaches and prescribing medicines over cognitive performance isn't particularly helpful. My GP (Family doctor) has been excellent but there's a limited amount he can do.

Neurofeedback has been suggested in this thread and I can get it privately here for about £2000, so I'm considering that. It's a lot of money but could have a very high ROI if it works. I'm also on a very long waitlist for hyperbaric oxygen therapy run by a charity. There's some limited evidence that it helps people heal.

I'm not brighter than most of my cohort, though my cohort is a pretty bright group of people. I'm just about keeping up through stubbornness and doing nothing but studying.

Compared to the average teenager my age - they'd probably get a better score on an IQ test, but I don't spend my time drinking and partying, and over the course of the year I've gotten my grades from Es to Bs, so I suppose I'm probably still a bit above average.

I will definitely be taking a gap year(s?) between A levels and uni.

Thank you.
That makes sense to me. Multiplayer games and MMOs in particular are satisfying in ways that a lot of other genres really aren't. A single player game might be fun, but your friends aren't there, and you have don't have the years of investment in your character and their progression. You also don't usually get the guilds and clans and forums and spreadsheets that can keep you engaged even out of the game.

I recently finished a Final Fantasy game after more than 300 hours, so I can spend a lot of time on a single title myself and I absolutely have a few games I keep going back to when I want a break from the backlog. I think as long as people are trying out new things it's fine to fall back on familiar favorites. My worry was that these people were 100% CoD and nothing else which seems very strange and self-limiting.
Also dont emotionally go for investment.

The problem with the situation is that the entrepeneur he describes is in this phase where the running of the business got so time consuming that it trumps longterm development, wether that's finding investment or developing the company structurally.

That's a hard spot to be in.
This is a significant step towards empowering users and ensuring privacy in the digital age. Giving users more control over their data is crucial, and it's great to see my EU taking steps in that direction.

It will be interesting to see how companies navigate the balance between data sharing and protecting trade secrets.

Overall, this is a positive development for data protection and user rights, just like GDPR was. Let's see the implementation.
How do you differentiate? To me, building a PoC is exactly that: create the shortest path, in order to (in)validate the concept.

I'm able to cancel the auto-renew. Once I do that with email I will get a warning that says: "We will attempt to cancel renewal the last date of your subscription. If your account exceeds the free quota, your account WILL renew."

As the date for the renewal comes closer and the user exceeds the free quota, as a user I will repeatedly get mail that the account will renew unless it meets said free quota.
Wait, how does that work? As far as I can see from the documentation, it can only serve on localhost, which to my understanding is only accessible from the single device it was launched on.
Yeah I got that impression too.

I don't get the premise though. If you extend horrible views and then get treated poorly by others that is simple the consequences of your actions. It also does not mean that people are devoid of compassion for you.

It's like complaining that the criminal justice system makes victims of criminals.

Yes, the hate nerds are being rejected broadly, but also yes that many in their lives will be showing them compassion and trying to rehabilitate them. Both are true, and both are needed.

It's wild to suggest that hate nerds should be treated with only compassion, or even to suggest they get zero compassion from anyone. That's just unfounded conjecture.

If you think toxic people are being treated too unfairly then perhaps its because you think their toxicity is actually okay to some degree and just need to self-reflect on why that is.
Software Crafters Sydney “Running Open-Source Projects” [video]
I've been on various projects in this building for 20+ years. We even had a small office at one point on one of the floors. Back then we were told the upper floors couldn't be converted to data center space. Fast forward to 2 years ago and everytime I went in there a semi truck full of cabinets was being sent up. I have no idea how much weight it can hold but my gut told me we are a moderate sized earthquake away from the place falling to the ground. Called my provider and said we are moving across the street. 2 months later with the help of some friends we did it in I think 13 minutes.

One cool thing was the filming of fast and furious Tokyo drift out front. They spent probably 2 months converting 2 blocks into Tokyo and at night would swap out street signs with Japanese ones. Turns out they actually do race the cars around the corners. Explosions and everything.

Here is a pic I found which is facing the front of the building/parking garage entrance: http://www.veilsidejpn.com/gallery/images/re_2335_AA_D001_00...

Edit: Also they have spread things out around DTLA and El Segundo and even just recently filled plans to build a second building next door. While it wouldn't be good I don't think if something happened it would melt down the Internet as perhaps it may have 15-20 years ago.
I think what he is trying to say: some people pride themselves in being bootstrapped, and his point his a bit of investment would probably allow to company to become competitive and the founder wouldn't have such a stressful time while also making more money in the end. So basically swallow your pride.
Maybe I'm not senior enough, but I think this misses the point. If I'm not prototyping, I don't try to "code the shortest path first", I try to code using the most popular libraries, and the most concrete, broad-strokes, fundamental abstractions, towards a goal of improving understandability.

At the end of the day, most code is deleted anyway. But even then people still need to understand it. I am attempting to write in the "lingua franca" and to make it clear to myself and others what I understand about the problem.

I think the lack of expandable memory is worse than lack of support for dGPUs. Everyone doing technical work (e.g. scientific computing and audio/video and VFX) could use more memory, but not everyone cares about GPU performance. They need to figure out the expandable memory piece first. This would instantly open up the scientific computing market to the new Mac Pro.

I think you assume that the choice is between "good, idiomatic code" and "non-idiomatic, horrible, abandoned mess".

Most of what you said are problems with simply not documenting code and writing code well enough; being idiomatic slightly helps in that by making it more familiar, but that's just a masking of the fact that the program is written horribly with no documentation.

Libraries like language-ext are absolutely not "badly chosen abstractions" or "dependency hell".

Also, "your code is either maintainable or it's not." is heavily subjective. Maintainability is often also used to criticise stylistic choices like variable naming, tabs vs. spaces, brace placement and other things which might be non-standard but don't detract from readability at all. If it did, there wouldn't be so many different standards across languages.
> I have a coach, I work with an executive coaching mastermind as I deepen my own executive coaching practice, I have a men’s group that meets weekly (it’s like crossfit for my emotions), a therapist and a slack channel filled with innovation consultants who are all more talented than me, and generous with their insights. And...yet...It can still feel lonely and hard sometimes.

My take is that startups are intrinsically hard: you’re out of your comfort zone, you don’t know if you’re making good decisions, and you have to repeatedly deal with setbacks and other roadblocks. No amount of therapy-adjacent talking will change that. I wonder if I’m completely out of touch with the younger generation of founders.

I'm long out of web dev, but... is this really how (well designed) web apps work? It seems lazy, you should be able to statically generate a list of most, if not all, assets and queue them all up simultaneously.

With only a tiny bit more effort you could improve things even further by generating 'resource packs' (just zip files really) like games do, that you can load and then unpack locally.
I may have a poor understanding of the mechanisms involved but it doesn’t seem immediately obvious why unified memory should hold back the implementation of high bandwidth PCI-E. Except of course if they just haven’t consciously designed their processors with enough PCI-E capability

The only issue I see is their lack of support for video cards integrating their output into the thunderbolt ports. Which is a problem they pretty much solved in the last Mac Pro with their MPX extension to PCI-E, which conveniently provided additional power and allowed the injection of displayport signal into the thunderbolt outputs.
> Having this will be an awesome replacement to the limitations of the visa/mastercard monopoly

Yes, they are a 2-3% leech on the economy in the US. In Europe, the regulators there have kept it a bit lower, which is reflected in EU credit cards having few benefits and high fees.

> I wonder how they will implement the infrastructure.

That's also what I wonder. A description of the cryptography and system would be interesting.

If this is only as anonymous as cash (i.e. unique serial numbers on every bill), then this would still be a step backwards, as it would be trivial to track individual e-bills around.

I am also surprised that they allow up to €3,000. This would make smuggling far easier/denser than physical €500/CHF1,000/USD100 notes. It could even allow a relay-attack smuggling, where the wallet is located far away from where the funds are used.
> deepen my profile with a bank credentials (but I would pay for premium with crypto if it will be possible

Bull fucking shit. There are services like Privacy.com which allow you to pay without deepening your profile.
I agree with the sentiment but not the examples:

> spend days setting up a CI/CD pipeline

This should/does take minutes. It's like 15 lines of YAML for most CI providers. Ideally it's a part of the template you use for new code.

> use a cool new library they just found

Integrating a useful lib that makes the code simpler should be done from day 1. Don't code your own platform lib and switch to SDL halfway through development. Don't code your "tracer bullet" on Win32 API calls when you're going to be using libuv. And like CI/CD, integrating libraries into the build should be painless

> if it’s software that’s going to ship, it needs tests

Oftentimes the tests are the only way you know if the code is even minimum viable, even manages to be the "tracer bullet". Ok you implemented a new feature, what says the code even runs and doesn't segfault immediately if there's not a test to build the new code into and run? Not comprehensive tests, but something
Tethered to a desk is useful though for fixed assets where there are multiple users on the device (post-production studio, etc...).
