Wiki article for Chandrayaan-1 from 2008.
Back in 2012, I hired a dev shop overseas to build a startup idea I had. I didn't know how to code, how product development worked, and got screwed over in the end with nothing to show for it. After that ordeal, I decided I would teach myself how to code with the goal that someday when I was ready again I could build my startup without having to pay others.

Like you, I started in web development and eventually expanded into full stack because I was lucky enough to really enjoy programming and craved learning more because it made me more confident, ultimately allowing me to shed my imposter syndrome.

Fast forward to today, and I'm still learning new things all the time. I recently learned C/C++ because I wanted to understand what dynamic memory was and how that worked. Whenever I want to learn a new language, I spend some time answering the same leetcode questions in that new language if I can't find something I want to build in it in that moment. I also have a startup where I'm the CTO and have the luxury of deciding what tech we use, how things are built, and it's a great learning experience because I have to understand things on a deep level.

That's just me, but thought I would share.
Exactly this!

My first principle in building software is:

Avoid Writing Code.

Code takes time to run. Code is habitat for bugs. Avoid it. Do everything possible before writing it to minimize it — think, plan, select better algorithms, data structures, process models, etc. Write and test toy versions to select the most streamlined. Of course some code must eventually be written, but doing the work to avoid it pays off.

Car analogy lesson; my coach in sportscar racing once asked me what things I do as a driver that slow me down on the track. I started to say something about "when I initiate the turn too harshly it generates more scrub and....". "No, No, I mean the big simple things...". "Well, that would be braking, turning, lifting off the throttle?". "Yes, so always avoid braking, turning, and lifting.". Obviously, doing all three becomes necessary at the end of the first straight going into Turn 1, but the point is that there hundreds of times where we'll do those things without thinking, and eliminating the unnecessary things that slow us down is one of the primary keys to fast lap times. The fastest drivers make FEWER moves and are much calmer in the cockpit. That simplicity takes a LOT of dedicated work.

Similarly, eliminating unnecessary code takes a lot of dedicated work, but it is critical to software that performs.

Spend the effort; it's worth it.

Avoid Writing (and including) Code.
Right, so, “prior to world war industrialization.”

I know what I wrote. Have a good day!

The article is like four paragraphs.

I think the contribution is better identification of risk factors than were previously known?

The most important variables influencing KECAN included 4 known risk
factors(age, race, sex, BMI) and 9 novel (COPD, greater Hct,lower HDL,
greater LDL, lower serum CO2, lower Na, lower BUN, lower ALT, and
greater WBC).

The AI part seems like a buzzword-y add-on?

"We collected prescriptions, laboratory results, and International Classification of Diseases diagnoses 1 to 5 years prior to index. We randomly divided the cohort into training (50%), preliminary validation (25%), and testing (25%). In the preliminary validation set, simple random sampling imputation and extreme gradient boosting machine learning were most accurate. In the test set, we compared the final model, the Kettles Esophageal and Cardia Adenocarcinoma predictioN (K-ECAN) Tool, to HUNT, Kunzmann, and published guidelines."

I'm 100% not knowledgeable enough to parse that out, but I think maybe they ran XGBoost and did some hyperparameter tuning?

Does anyone have an idea how bad is the ARM version? The reviews online say they did not fully adapt it from MIPS, and that the instruction set is partially made up instead of using the real one, which means listings won't work on real hardware.
Making a roll chart for my motorcycle trip the night before is an enjoyable prelude to a nice ride the next day, and the act of doing it almost makes the chart unnecessary because you commit the route to memory. I always feel that a few hours on the bike is refreshing for my mind because I can't use my phone, check Twitter, or get called. Having an X-mount or earpiece would spoil the whole thing.

A better term is "non-essential complexity", since "accidental" implies that it wasn't intended. The reason it's a durable trend for non-essential complexity to increase is that there are common and powerful forces that push for increased non-essential complexity.

The prime example is short-term technical debt taken on to speed the release of something new. It's not accidental, the team intentionally chose to (temporarily, hopefully) take on the added complexity.

> "There is no cash limit for car purchases"

wth?

Cash isn't great, but some people don't use online banking - and in a private sale, only a fool would hand over their car keys to a stranger in exchange for a cheque.

(Of course, this was a much bigger issue 15 years ago - these days we have faster payments, and the vast majority of people can make payments from their phone.)

Very much agreed on both. Especially systems. There seems to be a hard cutoff in developer productivity and solution finding that is directly correlated to their level of knowledge in this area. There is just something about being initiated into the UNIX philosophy that helps immensely.

That my biggest beef with VScode and IntelliJ. Why on earth I can’t have multiple projects open and switch between them as fast as in Emacs / Vim with Tmux
Other than that I could somewhat live with modern editor, but I’m switching constantly between 5 different projects and VSCode solution to have single workspace makes navigation an awful experience

Very few exams I've taken tested anything but the ability for rote memorization.
I like working in the office too, for similar reasons. I do think that as years go by, more people will come to realise what they have lost by working from home.

But i don't think the vigorous antipathy to working in an office is an HN thing. I think it's that many people who don't like working in an office really don't like working in an office, and so mission post about it, in a way that office appreciators don't.
Here's my example. I'm currently learning test automation. There are courses for that on Udemy, so I can choose "Test automation with Selenium and Python".

The next step is to google "demo projects for test automation", pick one, and apply that knowledge. If you still need more, pick another.

This will be your proof of basic knowledge.
This is indeed an easy way to fix text rendering in your inputs and textareas. However, you'll also need to do the same for elements that render the submitted text. And once you encounter bidirectional text (e.g. an English product name within an Arabic paragraph), that opens up another whole can of worms...

Note also that there's currently a regression in Chrome that affects how RTL text is rendered in inputs with dir='auto'. They just shipped a fix though so it should be included in the next release.
Why is your proposed solution better? What makes theirs worse than the disease?

Their solution is to tax corporations for forcing their employees to commute. Yours is to increase the costs for those employees.

These costs are already huge ($8000+ per year), and so far have had little impact on company policy. Do you really think that increasing commute costs will substantially alter the number of people who are required to commute?
On the other hand, political speeches on such occasions go down as most remembered historically. The infamous quote "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." was obviously said by some politician! (or at least with non-technical motives)

> So even though the dedicated CPU option has stable performance, the shared CPU is almost 4x as fast

The difference between Rome and Milan is rather minor, but if you do get genoa on dedicated it's like a 50% difference, which would turn the tide somewhat.
I understand feeling this way if the company actually closed the office so you literally could not go in. But even remote-friendly places typically have an office which is big enough for the people that go, so you'd still have company even if plenty of people were remote. I understand why some people like RTO (even though I'm not one of them), I don't understand why they have such hostility towards the WFH folks.

They Mayo clinic says obesity (plus inactivity) is either the cause or closely linked. So while we can't say for sure, it seems pretty obvious that people who stop eating over 2k calories a day and get 30+ minutes of high quality exercise, will almost all be "cured".

>Comes in MIPS (original version now in its 5th edition), ARM and RISC-V focused flavors

They're not flavors, they're editions. They have changed their ISA over time.

The current edition uses RISC-V.
Looks great! Congrats on the launch.
We'll work on adding this to the repo, but I'll try to summarize here.

Why should I use this? If you're looking to deploy computer vision models to production (on edge devices or self-hosting in the cloud), Roboflow Inference is the easiest way to get up and running quickly & to iteratively improve your model's performance over time.

It's also in very active use with many real-world customers in production. That means we've ironed out (and are continuing to find and fix) many of the bugs and edge-cases that you'd invariably encounter building something on your own or using something less mature.

When should you _not_ use this? For everything else.

* If you're prototyping & hacking on core model primitives there are likely too many layers of abstraction & you should wait to productionize the model until you're happy with the underlying architecture.

* If you're not doing computer vision you're probably better off with something focused on the specific needs of LLMs or other types of models.

* If you need the absolute highest speed possible you may want to use lower-level tools like DeepStream and Triton (for now). Out of the box we sacrifice a bit of speed to get a better interface & end-user experience. We do have a TensorRT provider that sacrifices some of that convenience for speed & are working on additional optimizations (including potentially integrating with DeepStream/Triton behind the scenes).

Edit: @zerojames updated the README.
> Why would someone need to pay for 10k in cash?

For their own personal reasons. Purchasing a business, a vehicle, a property or other real/tangible asset, hush money, avoiding a lawsuit, and so forth.

> Where does that cash come from?

It doesn't matter. Why do you care where people get their currency from? Do you have a rash of mint or bank robberies or something?
I guess this terrible practice is more widespread than we realized.
What was a typical day for him at Tesla or SpaceX? My understanding is his contribution is getting big government contracts, but the companies were essentially run by others.
>Cash isn't great, but some people don't use online banking

This is the US version of the events. I don't know all EU member states in detail, but I can't think of one where it's possible to receive salary/pension in cash.

Cheques have not been a thing for 20y+, I wonder if they are still issued.
There is nothing stopping you from using gold as payment.

But its not anonymous, if you want consumer protection then you need a contract (thats how gold is traded, and has been for many many years)

You don't want to physically exchange gold, because verification of gold's value is super hard. In low volumes proving that you have the correct volume and purity is very difficult and expensive.

In Hungary there is a public project to create freely accessible house plans with all necessary documentation to start to build them. The website is only available in Hungarian (but google translate manages to translate it quite well), and the houses are mostly really small compared to American standards, and their style is just way different from American houses. Anyway, let me drop the link here, maybe there is something interesting to be found there: https://www.oeny.hu/oeny/nmtk/mintatervek
I suppose the person that assesses my knowledge the most is myself. You know you understand the concept when you can use it and build on it with other learning.
Because they can't track it. Without total control of every aspect of your life they can't make sure you're a Good Person (TM). What if we let the Bad Guys (R) do whatever they want? Won't you think of the children? You wouldn't want children hurt would you? The irony of all this is the people that want sex workers, minorities, and other marginalized communities to live without fear also vote for these policies to keep their Bad Guy (R) under their thumb.

How long until what Netflix did with DVDs becomes illegal? I suppose libraries do it, and hopefully that will maintain the status quo.
The best way to learn something is to do a deep dive and present/share it with others. Repeat this cycle. Make it a regular habit.

This could be in the form of a tech blog or giving a presentation to your team. There are also meetup groups, social media, and other outlets. Mentoring junior developers is another great way to stay current.

If you've been focused on front end for a while then try giving a talk at your company about something orm, db, or api related. In doing research you will learn, and you'll find yourself digging for more information to answer potential questions.

In short: help others learn. You'll learn a lot yourself along the way.
This gets said a lot - but in practice, very little housing is built that way.

The mega builders that build big developments certainly don't match up house plans with the way lots are oriented, and that's where most houses are built.

I'm not trying to argue we shouldn't work on that, but to just dismiss off the shelf house plans entirely because "you have to build for the site" is rejecting the reality of how things are done.

At the very least, a repository of plans that was categorized simply by the orientation it was optimized for would be a step ahead of how most housing is planned and built today.

In my opinion (others will disagree), the vast majority of CS concepts are not very useful for most software developers. I don't think you should feel bad about that. I consider my time & money getting a CS degree to be almost entirely wasted.

If you're at a large company, look around for open positions that look interesting on other teams and talk to those team leads about what skills they would want. Maybe they'd even be willing to have you on board as a "trainee." If you're genuinely good at self-teaching, you will be an asset even without the skills built in.

If there aren't positions available at your current employer, you'll have to try to decide what skills are in demand and pick one, and you'll have to spend your personal time on it. My approach has always been to build something with the tech I want to learn. Usually just toys (a music player to learn GTK; many garbage video games and websites to learn various languages & toolkits) but sometimes useful stuff, too (a blog post demonstrating reverse-engineering a video game; many little unixy tools to make my dayjob easier; porting a Linux video game controller driver to macOS). In my opinion, just doing exercises isn't a good way to learn or demonstrate your abilities to an employer. Projects you own & and can talk about are way more interesting.

Also, consider that you might just be burning out on tech. I know I'm getting there. Ten-plus years in an industry is a long time, not everyone's built to do the same kind of work for their whole life. I'm keeping my eyes open for something in another field that grabs me.
I’ve heard some people say that this is intrinsic to and required by capitalism. I sure hope not, since that would be a pretty damning indictment of capitalism, which I otherwise like for a lot of reasons.
