My wife and I were high school sweethearts and got married out of college. When people ask us how we made it work, I always say that during college we grew and changed together. We had hard times and we worked through it, as we learned and grew we worked together and compromised. We grew up together through college. When you have a long term partner, they soften your edges. I don't think people want to have their edges softened anymore, which makes compromise and sacrifice less and less common. Note that this is not to say you should just settle for anyone, but I don't believe we as humans are puzzle pieces.
Believe me, I do but there are a large amount of digital only products coming on the print world. Especially academic publishing.
That's a mobile design flaw: on desktop the date shows up at the top in the right hand sidebar but on mobile you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.

I should fix that, it annoys me too.

UPDATE: Fixed. https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog/commit/6db7db174...
Well... maybe. Or it could become like graphene.
>How would picking up the phone made any difference here? The sibling is still dead. Finding out whenever you checked your voicemail isn’t going to change that.

Sure, in that specific instance. But it doesn't have to be strictly for a death. Spouse gets into a car crash, or has some kind of medical emergency, where they're still alive but they're trying to get in touch with someone from the family to notify them of their whereabouts and current condition.

>I promise it’ll be okay if you don’t leap to answer every unknown call that lights up your screen.

I think you missed the part where I said I agreed with the general sentiment but disagreed with that specific absolute, but thanks for being a touch condescending.
HN is all I have left. Been this way for a few years. I guess I still use Twitter, but just for local emergency news.
Pros:
- markets validated

- investors may see more options for acquisition exits

- if in a crowded space you still see a gap it's likely real

Cons:
- table stakes to reach parity with existing solutions may be higher

- existing entrants may be quick to replicate your killer feature

- with more noise demands more marketing/differentiation/ads/baked-in virality

I'm sure you've already thought of all that jazz. One idea is, if you can find any online communities which overlap with your target demographic maybe develop a survey (crude mockups could be even better in the survey) and ask if that feature set would entice them to switch from their current solution.

Another approach is to use the producthunt "coming soon" with decent mockups / landing page to gauge interest?

Maybe find a content creator that specializes in this space and propose a interview style video where you open the book and bounce ideas for what's missing in the market and what your solution would be. This would likely be the most fruitful move but you'd be putting it all out there which is the only way to make this type of video work for both parties.

Lastly, YC never seems worried about funding startups in a crowded space especially if the market doesn't seem too matured as there's still time for a new entrant to "get it right".

Good luck!

Communication is important and does require more communication - but more frequently I don"t think so. You don't pop into somon elses space and interrupt them unless you have a reason and don't do that often. IRC or other chats happened a lot more often as the receiver can just ignore it.

It's quite likely that if you cool this thing at liquid nitrogen temperature, its performance will improve a lot.

Not the revolution people are claiming, but it's a huge gain nonetheless.
> it's a long rant against a feature change which is really just "I don't like this change in behavior". The search box likely changed to show results from only your library, instead of worldwide results, because it was confusing a lot of library patrons

> But this is just a UX change that the author doesn't like.

That's not the case. This removed the ability for me, a library patron, to request a digital title that I had before. I can still request a printed book to be added to the catalog, but for digital title our library FAQ states (which I presume is copied from OverDrive): If you’re looking for a specific digital title that we do not have, you can use a Notify Me tag in Libby. Notify Me will alert you if the library buys the title. However, not all publishers sell their content to libraries in digital format. If you cannot find a title in Libby’s catalog, then we cannot buy the item.

This looks like the control for digital purchases was removed from the libraries and moved to OverDrive/Libby, which is definitely not a simple UX change.

This doesn't serve my interests at all and, according to the article, doesn't serve the library interests either, as they don't have the information they had before about who requests what books and can't control the purchase process. It's also (according to the author) a sign of the (coming) platform changes for the worse, which I tend to agree with.
Yeah but this kind of clickbait actively destroys trust in climate science, because the lunatics think that they get sold a hoax. And actually, the kind of writing is extremely sketchy.
I see, now, it makes complete sense. I'm sure museums in France are free for French citizen under 25 and the unemployed in order to draw in more tourists which would come and pay anyway. That has absolutely nothing to do with these countries actually seeing access to culture as a public good and valuing education.
The government is by far the largest enabler of consumption. Overall, it taxes savings and investment more aggressively than consumption. And in addition to massive government borrowing and spending, the government also directly underwrites much of the privately held debt (mortgages and student loans)
Congrats Rich! I met you at Stu's house during a rousing game of Marvel Champions. Thank you for Clojure, Datomic, Cognitect, and your talks. Your creations have enriched my life in many ways. I hope retirement affords you ample hammock time!
Theranos had very little external hype. No one talked about Theranos until it blew up, outside of pretty niche fields. The founder tried to build some hype but it was still a pretty typical "tech startup founder hyping themselves up" type of situation
Look for online schools that cater to US federal government / DoD.

Advanced degrees make career advancement easier, even if (basically) nothing was learned.
Hear hear. If someone happens to find a spouse on their first try, then good for them. Otherwise, keep looking. Clinging to your first relationship merely because they're your first is an indicator of personal insecurity and/or desperation, and you'll be a better partner once you learn to work past that.
For the colours with light they already do it, only on occasions though.
> It's worse than selling users off. Pocket was integrated for free and Mozilla later bought Pocket. In essence Mozilla paid to sell it's users.

Maybe I have reading comprehension issues, because it seems to me like it isn't worse than selling users off. Mozilla sold its users... to itself. That's really bad, right?
Yes, it belongs to the remaining 30% of exploits, when we remove the 70% ones caused by memory corruption.
A very helpful summary from the repo:

Gorilla enables LLMs to use tools by invoking APIs. Given a natural language query, Gorilla comes up with the semantically- and syntactically- correct API to invoke. With Gorilla, we are the first to demonstrate how to use LLMs to invoke 1,600+ (and growing) API calls accurately while reducing hallucination. We also release APIBench, the largest collection of APIs, curated and easy to be trained on!

This sounds great for experienced engineers, but in my experience junior workers often require bite-sized guidance in order to avoid going down rabbit holes. A 10 second conversation could easily save hours of head-banging-into-wall type work for a junior SWE (not even exaggerating).

Accordingly, during the pandemic I think it was mostly the less experienced engineers suffering from low productivity and lack of confidence (which feed into each other).
Management communication style is "Communicating less, but more frequently", the opposite of OP. This explains why management likes to see more people in offices.

Wow. I wonder to what degree that's designed for Helsinki residents vs. visitors (from elsewhere in Finland or beyond) -- since it's located next to a few other tourist-centric places. I'd absolutely visit when in Helsinki, especially in the winter.
The hype is more warranted here because I think material and physics scientists are excited and publicly and clearly skeptical.

There is a wider knowledge that this may be nothing or somewhere in between. The rollercoaster following the developments is why the wider public is enjoying following it as science entertainment.

On Twitter it seems like crypto bros are trying to scam with a LK-99 coin.

Do you use Gravity Payments for SaaS apps or solely online payments? How easy is it technically to integrate like Stripe? So many systems only use Stripe that it seems technically difficult to integrate other providers. I can't find pricing on the Gravity Payments page, any indications of how they compete pricing wise? Do they support online invoicing and recurring subscription billing?
wow a website that gives me the desktop experience on my phone, feels like 2007 when the iPhone felt like a real web browser in my hand before everyone embraced the “mobile web” and reduced my handheld browser real estate by 1000%, and to think how small the screen was back then!

This paper several authors with professional backgrounds that should make people skeptical.

* Three authors are from Australian Biologics. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has in the past "instituted proceedings in the Federal Court, Sydney, against Australian Biologics Testing Services Pty Ltd and its director, Ms Janette Burke [third author on this paper!], alleging that representations made in brochures and on Australian Biologics’ website in 2001 and part of 2002 were false, misleading, and deceptive" [1].

* Another author is Peter Mayne. In 2017 the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission prosecuted a complaint against him for "unsatisfactory professional conduct" because he "inappropriately diagnosing [a] patient with Lyme disease" and then, among other things, "[i]nappropriately treated the patient with weekly and then biweekly antibiotic injections for Lyme disease over approximately 30 weeks but failed to investigate or consider the patient might have cancer due to his age and medical history" and finally ordered him "[n]ot to advice [sic], diagnose or treat patients who he believes to have or may have Lyme disease or similar tick-borne disease" [2]

* Another author is Raphael B. Stricker, who the NIH found guilty of scientific misconduct in 1993 [3]

It is a red flag if a scientific field is this dense with people who have been found guilty of this kind of misconduct. Maybe being persecuted by an authority just adds fuel to the conspiracy, but I'm going to leave it at this: this strand of the chronic Lyme cottage industry (and maybe the industry in general) appears to be populated by people who either believe they themselves have chronic Lyme disease, or believe that they can make money off people who do. What it does not seem to have is disinterested third parties who are working on it because it's a meaningful research problem. This is a red flag, too: it suggests that there is something repelling people with reputations to lose, and I think it is the quality of research produced by its adherents.

Look, I believe these people are suffering, and suffering is bad, so I hope they get help, but I am very skeptical that the people claiming to offer help are the right people to do so.

Fine, one more thing. Willie Burgdorfer died in 2014, five years before Newby's book came out. He was 89 and died of complications from Parkinson's disease. The numbers for Parkinson's disease, dementia, and old age may, depending on the dates when Newby talked to him, make his testimony somewhat less than ironclad.

Notes on Data Structures and Programming Techniques (CPSC 223, Spring 2022)
Lots of crazy things in the weather this year. The obvious thing is to blame climate change. But these are pretty sudden and extremely unusual. I don’t think this is at all what is predicted.

I wonder how much the Hunga Tonga eruption of last year affected the weather this year. I think it injected some crazy amount of water into the atmosphere.
Macro expansion as in dang made it bigger by hand. Maybe he has a script.
Surprised to see someone I associate with the right wing standing up for privacy, but a win is a win.
The fun thing is that Jupiter was migrating into the inner solar system and Saturn managed to convince it that it would be a bad time so they migrated back out. It's fascinating. I didn't realize the term ice giant was so unknown. It's a sample of one thread but I'd bet that if I asked a lot of my friends and family they wouldn't know it either.
It's not biased, it's a fact. I see it all the time as PC/AC/reviwer/etc.

There is deluge of terrible papers from China that are just a mess, below any imaginable standard. Ones that labs in the EU/US/Russia/Japan/etc. don't put out. Yes, everyone has to publish, and there are bad papers out there, but the volume and low quality from China is unmatched.
Thank you. I think I finally grasp what's going on now.
My argument is that the foreign tourists who visit these places would be visiting NYC either way, and are just visiting these sites while they're in NYC, with something else having drawn them there. These sites are serving as part of a portfolio of factors that make NYC an interesting place to visit, but they don't manage to draw tourists all on their own in a way where reducing the ticket price to them would make a foreign tourist more likely to book a flight to America as a whole, just to go to NYC, just to go to that site.

Consider the "gap-year" 20-something who "travels Europe" by just staying in each country a few days to visit the cultural sites while staying at a hostel. To such a person, the equivalent cultural sites in the US are basically inaccessible. (Not that such a person is the sort of high-hospitality-ROI that a city would plan around; but their presence as a "keystone species" indicates that a hospitality-loss-led economy is functioning the way it should.)

Right, thank you for digging that up. It looks like you are right that is soldered. Either that or wire bonded which is usually a weld, but welding would locally raise the temperature to the point that I wonder if that wouldn't potentially destroy the sample. Given the tiny current I wonder why they didn't use spring loaded contacts, but presumably they know what they are doing and this is just another 'why didn't they' style comment.

So many questions about all of this, I would love to interview all these people, but I totally get that they have much better things to do right now.
The word congratulations came into English from Latin, where it was formed by combining prefix com-, meaning with, to gratulari, meaning "give thanks" or "show joy." Gratulari is derived from gratus, as is gratitude. Gratus means "pleasing," "thankful."

Having only had the good fortune to meet you in person a few times:

Congratulations, Rich. You have my deepest gratitude. It fills me with great joy to know you are taking this step. I look forward to what your next stage brings.
Not quite pseudonymous - she says her name is Iris Alexandria and that she's affiliated with the IGB in Russia and is now collaborating with the MEPI in producing more and measuring samples and that this is the reason why she doesn't publish any data as it's not hers and is bound for a publication, and that some of the researchers there are familiar with alternative superconducting theories which LK99's late PI was basing off on.

Of course it could all be faked, but she is prima facie attaching real, professional identities to her claims.
Regulation is a double edge sword that often comes back to bite you. So is lack of regulation. It is really hard to find the right balance.

It being hard to start a business in Europe means that they are not as innovative, but they also miss out on many scams.
> If you're under 45 and middle class (or lower down) you'll never retire, but your grand-kids might.

This seems like scare mongering. Especially for people under ~35, that would likely be able to ride out economic problems. Not everyone has all their money in cash, lol. On top of investments, lots of middle class people own their house by age 50, and you can retire quite more easily with a paid for house.

It also seems to me that these labor shortages aren't going away. There may be an ups and downs, but I'd be very surprised to go another 20 years without a covid-like jobs shortage, where businesses didn't seem fazed to throw money and benefits at the problem.

An economic downturn isn't even really needed in the aftermath, or excessive inflation. We've had times where the average joe has prospered. Lots of really wonky things were done in the economy to cause COL increases. We gassed up the real estate market for very little reason. That's a big driver of the inflation, or especially cost of living.

Also, it seems that there are market forces that caused the inflation in cost of products. I think cost of living can go down without deflation, but I could be wrong. If companies are overcharging, that could leave room in the market. It's already eroded their position, since many products are now similar in cost to premium products, yet lower quality.
Didn't this whole threat start with claiming female promiscuirity being a problem? Since, apparently, women don't have issues finding partners, there have to be places. Also for people above college age.

Regarding bar hopping, going out still is a thing, isn't it? Just one thing so, if bar hopping is only done to pick up women, it might a good thing you stopped doing it, not because of AIDS, but for everyone else going out.

Edit: What weird kind of creep goes to church to pick up women? And why do some people think that all social interaction with the opposite sex (gays and lesbians seem not to have that problem) has to be aimed at some kind of sexual / romantic end game? That can happen, as can a real friendship or nothing at all. Approaching it with the goal of sex / dating in mind might actually be part of the problem...

A lot of the outrage is cultivated by right wing paid-for by billionaires media outlets that post extremely neoliberal to downright neofeudal takes, alongside the ragebait anti-woke stuff. The Daily Wire is probably one of the best examples. In Germany, the backlash against climate protests has been driven by an outlet - NIUS - that is copying them word for word, down to their video editing style.

Maybe bootcampers should learn the LAM stack instead of the JAM stack.
>"For performance-oriented UDP-based apps, much of the OS networking stack is useless:

the app could simply use the driver API, much like DPDK-style applications already do.

There is currently no way to easily remove just the network stack but not the entire network sub-system from standard OSes."

On a router I had back in the day that seemed to only offer IPv6 support with a toggle of "enable IPv6" it still had a stateful firewall of all out and no new in by default, you just couldn't add custom rules because its whole legacy firewall UI was based around the NAT port forwarding.

I've never had a home router that just completely opened IPv6 to the world on my whole home network.

Rust's generics are quite strict (types are verified abstractly at the point of definition, not against concrete types at the point of use). This means they sometimes need verbose trait bounds, and are very sensitive to wrong/imprecise lifetime annotations.

Especially for numeric code I'd suggest using macros instead. Generic monomorphisation duplicates code anyway, so macros aren't as terrible as they may seem. Rust's macros are a bit closer to C++ templates than generics are.
I can't related to the timeline of your relationship but I love your phrasing "soften your edges" - that is so great.

Completely agree with you. Strong relationships survive on compromise and very strong communication about the ebb and flow of one partner's compromise vs. the other. But everyone has things they want. One way (IMO) to be a great partner is to learn when to proactively soften your own edges vs. being told to do so.
