Such a stange response to a valid issue. This is leaving brilliant minds behind for loosing the lottery of not being born in a native English speaking land. I have no idea why this comment is showing up in top..

The struggle is real, while I was in academia, I got to know brilliant people who didn't make it far enough because they had it in their own native language for too long and it became too late to invest a year or so working on their English..
No, a veranda is not a balcony. They are similar, but there is a clear difference – a balcony is something above ground level.

In Portuguese, the word "varanda" is used to refer to that above ground level construction.

Those gebaji (ゲバ字) are really interesting stuff, would deserve their own discussion on HN.
It is entertaining and intelligent, but you won't learn Python from it and you won't get anywhere near a production ready implementation, since it glosses over all the hard parts.
Windows doesn't just work either. You've invested years upon years of learning to make it work. If you had instead used Linux full time exclusively for over a decade like me you'd be able to make it work too.

MacOS doesn't work by design. It's by far the worst choice there is.
I reallly love web-components. They allow to encapsulate logic, and be re-used and composed with others. It starts feeling like unix in the browser, to me.

Maybe a bit verbose, but here is an example https://jsfiddle.net/8kvucm9f/5/ in the context of the blog post (and with my preferences of doing things; there are just many different ways of "writing web components", and can adapt many use cases).

Also, by using their HTML attributes (id="", name=""), it is possible to make really nice features with CSS.

Finally, they can offer a clear API (just like the <img/> or <video/> or <input/> elements), to the users of these elements.

They can be inserted, to give "markdown" documents (or .org mode etc. if it is converted to HTML), JSX like features, by being "just embedded HTML text".

It is super powerful, maybe feels a bit scary at first, but all problems seems to get solvable with clean patterns.
Opinionated design is design.
There are certainly more programmers now than when you had to build a program by wiring together vacuum tubes, or even manually manage memory. Hollywood definitely didn't employ 2.5 million people back in the silent film era when film-making tools were much less productive. That's Jevon's Paradox, increased efficiency increases demand. Labor is like 30% of an airline ticket, and that counts not just the flight crew, so efficiency doesn't do much much for demand when jet fuel is pricey. Likewise there's only so many Xrays that are justified to give out. There's an infinite amount of software crud to be created, and it's primary input is programmers.

In Brazil when we play rock-paper-scissors we say "Jan Ken Po"
The two that comes to mind is rock-paper-scissors, which we call "jokenpô", that is similar to the japanese 'jankenpon'. Chopsticks are "hashis" like already mentioned.

Also, we call soy-sauce "shoyu", which is the japanese for soy.
My (layman) path to growth suggestion would be to start with nr 2 using the mechanisms you describe in nr 3 internally ($1M to $3M ARR), and then slowly expand to comparable verticals until you have about $10M to $20M ARR.
After that you can start productizing the internal tools you built to the public and become a platform.

(Mostly written from a GTM perspective, and including the obligatory disclaimer thatI'm still way below $1M ARR myself, so take this with a grain of salt...)
It isn't a well received opinion, but this kind of stuff, like in other engineering domains, can only be fixed by liability and regulation.

Most people (and companies), don't care for quality unless ignoring at it comes with a fine.
Cannot not think of this quote from C.S. Lewis' "That hideous strength":

> “The cardinal difficulty,” said MacPhee, “in collaboration between the sexes is that women speak a language without nouns. If two men are doing a bit of work, one will say to the other, ‘Put this bowl inside the bigger bowl which you’ll find on the top shelf of the green cupboard.’ The female for this is, ‘Put that in the other one in there.’ And then if you ask them, ‘in where?’ they say, ‘in there, of course.’ There is consequently a phatic hiatus.”
> That said, I'd consider paying a $10/m premium subscription fee if they brought back OW1 in the exact form it existed in circa 2019

I would, too, I'd even go beyond that. I'm used to OW2, and I don't care about an apology, but I would -love- to get back old OW.

The downside of these online games really is the ability for developers to shut them down / change them drastically without you having a way to stick with an older version. There are multiplayer games from the 90s that I still play today, and they're just as enjoyable now as they were then.
> Word of mouth (IE searching with “[…] Reddit”) gives far better information

Used to. Now that advertising believe their salvation lies in forums, wadding into the big ones increasingly feels like entering the water at a British beach after the privatisation of Thames Water...
Good language models are far too demanding to run well on consumer products.
Blitzer - hangout application, you put a pin on the map that is active for up to 1 hour and then you can meet people for anything. The problem was the geolocation, because it is hyper-geolocated so I would need to get many people in one small place, like one city.

Mimic - if you know what TikTok has duets now, Mimic was supposed to be that before TikTok existed where you imitate a person, mimicking person. The problem was marketing, no budget and no idea how to market.

xoxoSnap - what OnlyFans is now, xoxoSnap used to be where these models could sell their content, but without a subscription. I gave up without a reason, but I had interested models. This was the worst decision I made with my projects.

SMS Schedule - enable people to automatically send some SMS at a certain time, such as for someone's birthday or Christmas, so that you never forget to congratulate someone. I didn't feel like it would be used.

Gay sex site - Current gay dating is all about sex but covered as dating. So I wanted to make it what it actually is, about sex. Mostly profiles are empty without pics so I wanted to tackle that problem. The problem is again location, need to get people from one city otherwise website makes no sense.

JustBelievers - OnlyFans for believers. Type to subscribe to a priest or pastor who preaches. Nobody was interested

Timechat - a chat application that forces you to answer as soon as possible, otherwise you lose points and fall in the ranking. I didn't do it because I didn't know how to promote it

PhantomChat - a chat that has no history, there is already a bunch of it

CryptoAdults - OnlyFans with crypto. Not working because crypto isn't really used and it's complicated for people

A website selling fetish stuff like farts in a bottle, panties, piss and so on. I didn't make it because I want to find supply before I look for demand. So I need to connect with women who want to sell those things. But then again why would they do it through my site when they can do it via IG or Twitter
it's the cycle of civilizations and English got a turn, I agree that's the way. But the issue for most places is the fear to loose their language and identity slowly.. Pushing their own language in schools and universities is a way to keep it alive but does sacrifice people and leave them behind.. I come from a place where English is the third language and I can see the pain of brilliant people left behind because of that.
That's rather strange. The graphics part is lightweight (pre-rendering the background and then drawing few shapes), but if you could shrink the browser to very small dimensions and test we could eliminate this one.

The audio part is bit more involved. The vocal tract is simulated in segments, each segment receiving, filtering and reflecting the soundwave energy. The algorithm is computationally heavy, but it ran well on my mediocre smartphone.

Maybe if stuttering is detected it could lower the number of tract segments, which also lowers the quality. Increasing the buffer size would probably also help with glitches but I don't think it would solve the high CPU utilization.
The take is relevant because it's being quoted in answer to its own author.
Just my understanding of the manpage and TCP forwarding (-L): an SSH connection will be established to the jump host, which then establishes a connection on port 22 to the destination. The local machine now has a forwarded connection to the destination and uses that to establish a second SSH connection between them.

Between local and jump host, there will be two layers of encryption. The jump host decrypts the outer layer, and the two ends the inner layer.
> Which might make you, what, maybe 10% more productive overall? The more experienced you are...

But the more exeperienced you are, more valuable your output is (in most cases). So the 10% of your productivity could be more valuable than a novice's 50%.
It's one of the few that's still difficult to detect, and by the time you show symptoms you are basically stage 4... it's treatable if you catch it early, but therein lies the problem; My grandfather passed away from it.

That I need to install additional extensions for features I wanted and also relying on those extensions to stay maintained. Also I don't like tree structuring generally, because I noticed that that just enables my tab hoarding habit. Configuration was also a bit annoying (in my memory) due to the drop down menus
So is there a 5 user limit with on premise installation or not? The site seems to say so, and your comment just makes it more confusing.
Or the Feynman one.
Very true... only issue is that you wont receive any local signals if there's no local web-SDR in your area.

I agree, definitely harder working alone. So far I spent energy on my partners trying to keep them motivated, trying to make them work and constantly pinging them, it was time, energy and motivation wasting, I could have focused on the project itself instead.

It happens all the time. Even when I had a partner with their own project. They start super motivated and within a month they drop and stop contacting me, so I have to contact them to work on their own project. Either they don't have time so I do all the work
In Sweden I often had a higher salary than my immediate manager. Only the "strategic" level management were really above engineers, mostly because they decided how resources get allocated and which projects need to be prioritised.

There are 19,000 LinkedIn employees world wide according to my cursory Kagi. That means more than two endpoints for every employee. I feel like regardless of micro or macro that’s an enormous sprawl of entropy.
> It is simply far, far easier for a newbie to see a computer generate 1 / 3 / 5 slightly-different attempts to solve a specific problem they have, and then to pattern match sufficiently to be able to solve the problem themselves, than it is to muddle around by yourself with it for hours and hours with no end in sight.

That's because it is easier. Multiple choice is easier than open questions.

It's also a good way to not really grasp anything deeply.
Postgres didn't ship built-in replication until 2010, and prior replication solutions like Slony were not options I would have enjoyed building a business around.
I found this on their tech blog from 2016: https://engineeringblog.yelp.com/2016/08/how-we-scaled-our-a...

Whether they really needed cassandra or whether it was just using fancy complicated tech for the sake of it, I couldn't say.
Theo's achievements wouldn't be possible without his parent's legacy to protect him. The average student journalist absolutely could not do the same thing Theo did here.
Introverted... introverted what? Are you introverted thinking, introverted feeling, introverted sensing?

Likewise extroverted what? Extroverted thinking means thinking out loud in the crowd. My wife does this even at home. I have to be careful as an introverted thinker, I can't hear myself think when she's thinking out loud, so I defer deep thoughts for work time and stay present. That can be draining after a while and so I take it out on the cryptic crossword.

To me introvert/extrovert is dimensionless unless you use it in conjunction with some faculty. On their own these terms are quite meaningless.
You can pretty much do anything with a combination of refs, events and useEffect. It’s often fiddly and cumbersome though.

Aside:

That’s why I‘ve been gravitating towards approaches that have much simpler execution models.

You can still do declarative and functional. But you have more control when needed, create _much_ smaller bundles, have fewer dependencies, better default performance, allocate less garbage and you can reason about your code in more fundamental ways.

In cljs this would mean to not use a react wrapper.

However I personally try to avoid using any deps for frontend, and that includes cljs. Any dep needs a justification IMO.

That justification is often not good enough, since I’m mostly writing „interactive documents with some fancy parts“.

If you’re writing something like nextjournal, roam, data rabbit or similar then it’s a different story.
Is there an obit that isn't on a dumb site that blocks entire countries for no reason?
I built my home server in 2013 and it is still going strong. It is based around an ASRock E350M1 with integrated AMD E350 dual-core processor [0].

It sports 4GB RAM an old 64 GB SSD for the operating system (debian) and three 2 TB HDDs in a btrfs RAID1 array giving ~3TB of usable space which is plenty for my own needs.

It runs the following services:

- DNS server (unbound + custom domain filtering)

- Syncthing

- OpenVPN client & server

- PostgreSQL + lighttpd + PHP for various small websites

- Samba & NFS

- Transmission (for linux distros of course)

For these scientific papers, at a minimum truth==reproducibility.

For humanities and social sciences, it could mean consensus, but in hard science it is different. You are doing experiments that produce data. If someone else repeats the experiment, they should get the same data.

In this case, no one could reproduce the results of the papers in question.

I wonder how widespread this has become. How many scientists, driven to publish, know that it is too expensive to reproduce their experiment?
The target service must be known and compatible. Looser coupling is sacrificed for higher performance.
I think it's more than a one-dimensional thing. Like the idea of the "political compass". Just as a person's political views cannot be compressed to a single "left - right axis", their social preferences cannot be reduced to a single "introvert - extrovert axis".

How is a person with existing relationships vs. new people? Similar people vs. different people?

My theory is that a lot of people labelled "introvert" are just more selective then average in who they want to deal with.
As an SWE, my problem isn’t boilerplate. It’s architecture and orchestration. I cancelled my Copilot subscription because it just doesn’t help with this. Let alone ChatGPT which has zero context about the application.

I would like an AI to tell me if I’m reinventing the wheel or if something similar can be abstracted. Whether what I’m doing aligns with existing patterns in the codebase. How the application as a whole could be refactored to improve maintainability, performance, or both.

This can all already be done by a human with experience and context, so it must be possible with AI. This will be the biggest game changer for me.
This has me thinking, there must be some intersection point, where a civilization can't grow any larger while staying connected because it'd create new diseases faster than the medicine of the time could develop cures/treatments/vaccines.
> I just tell myself that those jobs would have made me miserable anyway

This is certainly wrong because the usage of LinkedIn is very high. It's equivalent to saying, "I don't take recruiting calls from meat-eaters." I mean, if it's extremely important to you, go for it, but if not, you're doing yourself a disservice.
Show HN: ReleasesNotes – Automate Your Release Notes and Boost Productivity
Hey there, Hacker News community!

I'm thrilled to introduce you to ReleasesNotes, the ultimate solution for simplifying release management and supercharging your productivity.

With ReleasesNotes, you can bid farewell to the tedious task of compiling release notes. Our tool seamlessly integrates with your version control system, automatically extracting commit messages and generating clean, user-friendly release notes in seconds
Not really. Thinking that Reddit is not gamed by marketers or bought/sponsored influencers in 2023 is just completely wrong. Any kind of aggregated rating is gamed, whether it’s Amazon or Reddit or Google or yelp

At best you’ll find one very opinionated guys recommendation which may or may not match yours
Both this post and the one two levels back honestly sound like someone who's never worked in a SW company. Craft my own tools? When? Who's paying for that? Too much boilerplate? Tell that to the 20+ people who built this thing and are long gone. You really have to work for a specific kind of company to be able to change any of that.
+1 for this, I think this is one of the most useful and underrated things enabled by ChatGPT for effective learning.

One of the types of teaching video that I've found very helpful is where an expert, usually a professor explaining a concept (e.g zero knowledge proof) to five different audiences starting from school kids up to fellow researchers or professors. You can basically ask many different targeted levels of questions to ChatGPT for example, explain the concept as I am five years old, etc.

Isn't B2B even harder when you have to convince businesses to use your product instead of existing one, so they have to completely move to your product. Then of course attend the meetings with them and so on. I'm not a salesman and for me it would be mission impossible
Dude you need to find girlfriend and normal 9-17h job.

All these ideas just show how immature you are.

My advice is to find real problem that people have in that region and try to solve it.
Liability is the big one. As soon as that kicks in a lot of this absolutely irresponsible stuff will stop.

Regulation would still be playing catch up but being liable, preferably all the way to the people involved including directors, could be done pretty fast and would set us on the path to licensed software engineer in short order.

It will be lightweight on time during 4 weeks, $20k and counting in prizes, meeting amazing people, and just having a great time building and contributing to the open ecosystem.

if this is a good fit for you, go ahead and apply!
Just like if you publish your code as MIT or BSD. It will still require attribution, and they still can't re-license it to something incompatible with the original license. Turns out that closed-source is compatible with MIT/BSD (still requiring attribution).

And the "closed-source" part will be only the new code added after your contribution, but the project itself will keep the open source license (so that you can fork it at the state it was when the authors decided to go closed-source).
The thing is even that is speculative. You cannot know that these treatments specifically worked better. These are things we can only assess via statistics on more than a single patient.

I.E. x% more patient survive after n years while using this or this treatment. And same treatment could increase odds of dying sooner from other decease out of scope with the research years later.

I wish there were good companies like that in software, but honestly it feels like it's a lot of consultants that only add more workload and headache over the span of years, or ones that just throw some recommendations from books like Clean Code or Google's SWE book or worse, SIG your way.

Mind you, I'm a consultant myself so in many ways it feels like we're the ones that are supposed to do that kinda thing. Supposed to, in practice we put down overcomplicated solutions that the company in question cannot do on their own, locking them into consultancy / freelancers just to keep things afloat.
That's a rejection.

One thing about protobufs in a highly interconnected ball of mess, good luck reving the protocol in any non trivial way. Schema-less encodings such as those you mention (as well as bson, etc) are really advantageous for loosely coupled interfaces and graceful message format migrations. IMO (opinion!) protobufs is popular simply because of the Google cargo cult where anything Google tech is slavishly adopted without a great deal of introspection on applicability to the specific situation.
