No, it’s purely economics. Manufacturing is really tough to get right and producing at scale is a monstrous problem. There is no hobby that teaches you the exact process for creating a stinger missile using 247 custom parts assembled in 36 steps in a highly choreographed process of man and machine. To build even the most basic thing you need a team of highly experienced people who have been doing that job for a decade. Keeping those production line active while producing no parts is a crazy expensive proposition.

There was a post that hit the front page recently about how the us airforce paid $50k for an airplane trashcan. It costs that much not because the raw materials + direct labor to create it cost that much, but instead because you have to pay for the 30+ people involved to restart that product line again for a super small batch.
This might not add much to the discussion, since the post is not really about dead code removal, but your woodworking shop analogy reminds me of the bakery analogy at the beginninf of this old post by Joel Spolsky:

What is the whole purpose of deleting it? To me it seems to be to punish Reddit, so why does it need to be off the Internet entirely?
I think it was a long time ago now, back when Google stopped improving their core service (search) to help profits through a better service than the rest and no longer "breaking markets" like introducing Gmail with seemingly infinite storage at the time... (another service that has stalled) And now instead rather going for squeezing out profits by keeping people on their sites and selling their data.

But maybe it was just a realization of what was more profitable? R&D becomes exponentially more expensive the more advanced search you try to provide, but any random weird company will be interested in user data for marketing.
Nice essay. Time to re-read True Grit (one of the most enjoyable books I’ve read), and check out Portis’ other books.
> I tend to listen to those in podcasts when they are truly one-off live reads (TWiT has historically done pretty well at this, for example)

TWiT uses pre-recorded ads pretty often, and has admitted to trying AI-read ads which mimic the host. I prefer either to the meandering before and after banter that bookends the off-the-cuff ad reads. Thankfully it appears their paid Club TWiT excludes both ads and annoying wind up / wind down around them.

It must be a challenge for the Deno team competing against the likes of Amazon or Google without the andvantage/burden of open source.

This is fair and I think I understand why Roberts wanted to write this, but the notion that the text of Kagan's dissent could move the public's opinion of the court at this moment in time is silly enough that it doesn't need to be discussed in an opinion.

tl;dr the presence of exactly the same gene in reproductively isolated species has puzzled scientists for some time. The example cited were two different very cold water fish which both have exactly the same “antifreeze” gene.

This research group identified a type of transposon that infect worms with a virus-like ability to penetrate cells and “infect” hosts. Transposons are “greedy” particles that “transpose” DNA in order to reproduce, often at the expense of their hosts. While doing this, entire genes may be transposed.

The transposon itself likely gained this ability from an encounter with a virus.

Fascinating.

Yep, they show it's not a senolytic, but I'd like to see an experimental human group (preferably with a dopamine transporter allele making them more prone to placebo-like responses) being given psilocybin and told that it is a senolytic.

"Psilocybin treatment led to a dose-dependent decrease in cell cycle arrest markers (p21, p16, and p53) and an increase in markers of DNA replication
(phosphorylated-Retinoblastoma protein; pRB) and proliferation (PCNA), as compared to vehicle-treated cells". They don't say it IS carcinogenic. At least this statement favors taking psilocybin after fasting/senolytics/autophagy induction.

"may mediate SIRT1-dependent pathways which impact cellular senescence". So if senescence is delayed by it and during this period SIRTs are activated, it may be anti-cancerous.

Show HN: Withpublic.com – The First MVP Marketplace
In the search for a co-founder, I have come across several platforms that claim to help in finding the right match, but their effectiveness remains uncertain. That's why I am taking a different approach and developing withpublic.com, an MVP marketplace where you can buy, sell, or even request an MVP for free. Many startups build their MVPs but fail to succeed, so why not give them the opportunity to sell or provide them for free to other founders who may have better ideas to promote? As a byproduct, this platform also offers the potential to find a co-founder who appreciates what you have built.

Withpublic.com aims to create a dynamic marketplace where the exchange of MVPs can lead to greater opportunities for entrepreneurs. Join us on this journey and explore the possibilities of finding not only valuable MVPs but also potential co-founders who share your vision.

It would be an additional cost, but it might make sense to require that military contractors include full documentation of production methods with their products. There could be odd measures like keeping the records sealed for a time to protect secrets, but it seems like anything the nation needs to defend its interests should not be left in the hands of the producers who are expected to abandon it.
And that was only one line added. Most of the code is 3 and 5 years old.
I'll do you one better:
When they call, sincerely start asking them questions about the identity of their business: location, name, ownership, etc. Usually they'll hang up. Call them back over and over with these questions. Then after a few calls, explain that you know how to use "VOIP APIs" and that you will be happy to spend $100 to DOS attack their call center.

That would be illegal, but typically they're in no position to run to the law.
Also, I don't know what a "VOIP API" is or if it's possible to use to DOS attack someone with it. But there's probably an API out there that you could use for that, so the threat seems to be enough.

If lawmakers wanted to pass a law that actually made this happen they needed to stipulate a cut off date (and potential compensation) as well as rigid rules about what one can do with the released code.
It solved a few problems but the strictness of the bindings was not helpful. The C++ heavy tooling focus was neither and don‘t get me started on the gap between promise and actual implementation. Once you dealt with different ORBs in a large scale installation (read 3G networks) it became madness. In my first job I fought and kept it out. On my third it caught up with me and I had the fun to rip one vendor out and swap an open source in as the former did not work with the C++ compiler and we were a tier 1 telco vendor and the Orb vendor was on site with the source code. Total mess.
To be fair, in any GUI toolkit, the "table" is abolutely the most complex general purpose widget. People really under estimate the difficult of an efficient implementation. Qt spents YEARS improving their QTableWidget class. The implementation is mind-bogglingly complex. I am sure many very smart summer interns (PhDs!) have tried to tweak that class to squeeze every bit of performance possible. The table class in GTK+ and MSFT DotNet's WPF are equally, freakishly insane.

Consider this idea: Most people who use a table class in a GUI framework assume it is essentially infinitely scalable (myself included!). I am talking about millions of rows or thousands of columns with all kinds of silly widgets injected into individual cells. It is a crazy hard computer science problem to solve. I would not doubt there are many PhD thesises written on the topic of fast, scalable table widgets.

Beyond desktop GUI toolkits, people have tried to do the same in a browser (HTML/CSS/JS). Have you seen AG-Grid? Woah, it is unbelievable how much goddamn data you can squeeze into that widget. Most Wall Streets web-based trading apps use it one way or another. It's just so hard to beat. Ref: https://www.ag-grid.com/ There must be 1,000 person years of optimisation sunk into that implementation.
But that's just called research. If you want to learn about Sparta, it's pretty easy to find blog posts or reddit threads about what the best book is, or to find the multi-paragraph reviews on Amazon and Goodreads and see what they say, or professional book reviews of them.

So you absolutely do have a way of knowing. What you usually don't have a reliable way of knowing is how good of a teacher on Sparta a local history teacher happens to be. And the answer is usually, not good enough to write a book on it.

They addressed the issue by scaling up but the scale up itself ended up lagging behind the database. If that attack happens again presumably the bigger database + caching would mitigate it.
This is the database that shows up when I’m trying to pitch PostgreSQL, but the boss read a blog post and now has Strong Opinions, and now my job depends on writing a comparative analysis of PostgreSQL and TabDB that reaches the right conclusion while also making anybody who advocated TabDB look smart and feel like they contributed. I literally just wanted to code.

Reddit was great for aimless scrolling, and its most recent incarnation was as close you could get to TikTok while still having text posts. Which meant that it got used the most while in the bathroom or while stuck somewhere - both phone uses.

I refuse to use the official app, and the new site crashes safari in the iOS beta, so Reddit is now dead to me. I’ve dropped by a couple of times but since the changes and blackout all of the good subs I follow are empty/dead. They lost me as a user.

Let them go implement fuchsia. It will check all their boxes right before it slams into a mountain from a km to mi conversion.

I thought we handled this years ago and coming from aviation experts is rather strange that they don't know the industry has migrated away from having a singular operating system that can't die to having a series of redundant fail-safes to fall back to when it does. It's strange to see the places where the microkernel debate still rages on....and how little investment is being made by those complaining multibillion $$ international corporations into projects like fuschia, RTOS, ZephyerOS, GNU Hurd, MIT Mach (or even Darwin), or even Minix!

I think these arguments are disingenuous and while they are valid the various organizations making them seem to aggressively not want to find solutions. I smell a strong desire to hold the vanguard of what they have built until they retire and can be unconcerned with compliance...understandable to a degree but harmful in the long run to be going so fast in the wrong direction.

Maybe Linux isn't a good fit, that's fine but they clearly don't care about that, they just don't want to implement anything and Linux is a convenient scape goat to not have to contribute back into an open source project even one on a BSD license
IMO, it’s because software engineering is still in infancy. There are very rapid changes in what and how you build things every 5-10 years.

But I agree with the point. I think we are at the stage where we view coders (who’s main job should be to “just” write great code) and engineers (who’s main job should be to build safe and cost effective solutions to problems) as interchangeable.

Those are different jobs.
> "Linux does not have a safety culture... Linux does not have a quality culture."

Of course, Linux is mostly competing with Windows and Mac OS, not airplane RTOSes.

Thing is, are they expecting someone to do a linux based RTOS for free? Like just pull it off kernel.org and set it up in the airplane?

Ask HN: Tips for Selling to public agencies while bootstrapping?
Hi HN,

Recently I was seeking on validating a MVP targetted towards public agencies on the state and federal level but have not had any luck getting past gatekeepers or getting any distribution.

Being bootstrapped with n=1 my goal is to launch a free product, unfortunately I unable to make any inroads.

Any there any guides for selling to these public organizations?

I understand it is relationship based but as an outsider how do I culitivate these relationships?

Are there any marketing channels that would be better to focus on e.g. public events vs cold outreach?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
IMO, the war crimes thing, unless very egregious, is not a very good argument. Because if there is a war, there will be war crimes, and wartime-legal actions that are as bad as war crimes, too. Basically, you start a war, you awaken the monster, and everything that happens is your responsibility. A "small" amount of war crimes is par for the course. The US did it, too!

To me the Gnostic beliefs seem rather explicitly those of Jesus described in the remaining texts, despite thier efforts to wipe it away.

We are all the children of God according to the Bible, therefore Jesus was no more than the Son of God than any other man, he simply took on the mantle more fully than most.

Add in the Gospel of Judas and he quickly becomes an apparent Gnostic who engaged in a giant con with the specific intent of widescale social reform (he ordered Judas to "betray" him and take the money to put to the cults efforts, having recognized that any leader who survives -Loh- long enough just becomes another tyrant and only martyrs remain saints who he people use for guidance and example.)
No, comments tell me what you wanted to achieve. Code only tells me what you actually achieved.

Winston Royce's (fantastic) 1970 paper "Managing the Development of Large Software Systems" accurately anticipated how things would end up working 30+ years later in shops that try to use 'self-documenting' code as a substitute for good documentation.

> Without good documentation every mistake, large or small, is analyzed by one man who probably made the mistake in the first place because he is the only man who understands the program area.

> When system improvements are in order, good documentation permits effective redesign, updating, and retrofitting in the field. If documentation does not exist, generally the entire existing framework of operating software must be junked, even for relatively modest changes.

Add modern-day turnover rates on technical teams, so that the person who originally wrote the code is unlikely to be around to help with analyzing problems, and you've got an excellent recipe for the current chronic burnout status quo.
