You're kidding right?

Nvidia never went into cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies went into Nvidia. Nvidia actively tried to sell GPUs to gamers instead of crypto people because crypto people will flood the used GPU market when the bubble inevitably pops every single time.

Nvidia isn't abandoning the consumer GPU market. They're still the leader by far. The consumer GPU market has actually been declining for nearly 20 years now.[0] They should not invest more into a declining market.

AI is the correct market to put their eggs in.

on edit: he was a cool enough guy and certainly I myself am prone to non-normative behavior but as I said he was weird, and one thing that you would notice he had a bunch of stuff he didn't really have reasons for having, so you put it down to his weirdness as potential cause, because when someone has a big flag "weird" everything out of the ordinary about them gathers beneath that flag.

> they always built their own binary

> Think of it as they had a fork of Firefox

Yep indeed, you are right.

Notable projects using actual XULRunner included Songbird (a music player) and BlueGriffon, an WYSIWYG HTML editor (a successor of Nvu and KompoZer, themselves succeeding Netscape Composer). Both released after 2006 indeed.

I liked XUL, I strongly believe Mozilla could have dominated the market taken by Electron, had they pushed XULRunner more, and perhaps make it transition to pure HTML, like they did to Firefox's core, because that's what people know and because XUL was a maintenance burden. I think XUL tags made more sense than HTML to build UIs, though, and with XUL, Gecko have had a CSS flex-like mechanism for a long time by the way.

> - Cashback systems are simply banned.

The fees are so heavily restricted EU wide that cashbacks are generally infeasible even where they are legal (I hadn't know they were banned in some countries) (e.g. I have card with a effective 0.2% cashback (in gift cards), it used to be 1-2% back in 2014).
I think this is only true for charging cables that are USB-A to USB-C. I have some of those lying around, also from cheap gadgets. But I would not recommend using them for data transfers anyway.
It's actually hard to find people with product vision AND the ability to execute it. I'm an engineer like you and have participated in startup school for a few rounds and haven't found anybody "with an idea" and some skills that had a good market or really good connection.

Regarding the "lifestyle" startup idea, while I'm also found of this idea, it doesn't make it any easy. There are likely more 10+ people tech companies than 1-10 people tech companies.

I've tried for many years to go solo(or duo) and never made it. I'd honestly consider the idea: I want to build a profitable business. (whatever it is)
So if we're not seeing individual molecules, why talk about molecules? Its fine to talk about desks or whatever we can actually see, right?
Hmm I just stumbled on this and am loving it so far, and your objection interests me: I'd be curious to hear what you see as the cycle? Lets say in WebDev only.

My best guess:

1990-2010: *thin* static sites w/ minimal JS (e.g. JQuery).

2011-2019: *thick* SPAs

2020-2023: *thin* Server Side Rendered SPAs

2023-20??: *thick* Local-First apps

Is that close to your thoughts?

If so, I don't really see how this is promoting thicker apps. This whole approach assumes from the jump that you have complex state interactions on the client, and is just providing a wrapper around that to simplify syncing that state with the server. Couldn't you write a very thin SSR app that uses this paradigm to offload as much business logic (e.g. update cascades) to the server as possible? I suppose it would lose the offline capabilities, but otherwise it seems like the same fundamental approach.

All of this is assuming we're not going with what Hacker News wishes was true: that pure static sites are becoming the standard again ;)

> How do you stop China from producing and leaking COVID 2.0?

Step one would be stop giving them money as a workaround for domestic bans. Step two would be to stop helping them by building high tech biolabs for them. Presumably they needed western funding and expertise for a reason.

Step three is to recognize that there's nothing China-specific about accidents in virus labs, and to solve the problem domestically as well. Then if it does happen again in China the rest of the world will be in a much stronger position to criticize a violation of global norms, and impose actual consequences.

> with a stockpile of PPE and teams ready to respond quickly.

Ugh please no not this again. PPE was worth nothing during COVID, so that won't help. Go prove it to yourself right now. Pick five random countries you don't know anything about. Pull up their reported COVID case number graphs from OWID or elsewhere. Now try and draw lines on the discontinuities where they added or removed mask mandates (or even lockdowns). Mass PPE deployment had no effect on case growth so you'll find it's impossible. If the Trump admin sold off stockpiles then it's not like the man himself made that call, it'd be because pre-COVID people understood there was no evidence to support it.
I wasn't asking out of curiosity. It's hard to give you advice on some of those topics without knowing what country's laws you're currently governed by and what financial systems you have access to. Totally understand your desire to keep that information private for now though.

You probably want to contact Google support and try to recover your account as soon as possible, because once you leave the country you're going to have an extra fraud-hoop to jump through if you try to regain access from a country other than the one that the account was primarily used from. Google is pretty notorious for locking people out of their accounts and being useless about recovering them, so you want as few red flags as possible.

Sorry this happened to you. It sounds terrible and I wish you the best.
Said large percentage of users will be installing through a package manager anyway, where you can make sure that Caddy has a path the user it runs as can write to.

If you're correct that I'm overestimating users then what are you guys doing? You're expecting users to know how to secure their Caddy configuration when in reality most users probably have no idea that this API even exists, they'll put their config in Caddyfile, start the server, and be done with it.

We should be expecting that they don't know anything about the risks involved with leaving an unauthenticated HTTP API on localhost, and instead shipping a default that doesn't place their system and network at unnecessary risk.

>In Germany, they have a term for the beer you drink as you walk to the next bar, a "wegbier."

There is a humorous pun on “Wegbier”. It is sometimes called “Fusspils” (foot beer) which is a homophone of “Fusspilz” (athlete’s foot).
For me smartphone screens are too small, the keyboards too fiddly and yet too big in my pocket and due to their size easy to drop.

How about a flip phone, like the Nokia 2720, but with an Apple M2 SoC and camera. When you activate its HotSpot any device can connect to it via WiFi and use it as a personal server. That way you can have a convenient sized screen, keyboard and any other devices. It basically would be like a ChromeBox in your pocket.

Simply bridging the platforms is not enough. You’d also need to get those people off the platforms before the next train arrived, and you would need something more permanent than platform bogies to support wider stairs and escalator banks.
I'm curious what kind of app doesn't already require tracking state on the client...? Very confused about your objection, but probably just because of inexperience on my part. It seems to me that basically every web app I can think of (e.g. Facebook, Figma, ChatGPT, Spotify, Discord) revolves around the server and client sharing some responsibility for tracking and updating the state.

If your objection is that we should just have state as a DB table on a server and just sync it to the client as needed, then that's basically what this is -- just with a client DB instead of a client Redux store/bespoke javascript mess/etc.
I believe these complaints may be caused by lack of experience with Django:

- There is nothing wrong with the ORM, you may be resorting to using deferred attributes too much. There are ways to eliminate them (select_related, prefetch_related) if you are having performance issues.

- Jinja2 has been a supported templating engine for years.

- I don't understand the question about static type checking. Can you elaborate?

PayPal doesn't deserve to hold this special, seemingly untouchable perch in our economy. If we want the wild west, then let everyone else open up the same business. Otherwise, regulate them like a bank. I hope the DOJ goes after them next.

It's quite universal to find that schools in your own country are terrible :)

Not sure why... probably simply because everybody has (good !) ideas on how it could be better, but they are not easy to implement ! :). Probably also because that's really something people care about
Yes, but if people treat the symptoms then carry on with their normal life, they risk spreading the virus to everyone else. Those "Soldier on with Codral" ads were really messed up.
I’ve had the series 3 for almost six years now. It still works fine, and even though I’m very tempted to upgrade there is no immediate need. So the lifespan of these devices is actually pretty good.

I like the Apple Watch a lot. There’s not a single killer feature in my opinion, just a bunch of small stuff that together makes it very nice. Like using it as an alarm clock without sound to not wake the rest of the family. Or timers when cooking. Or seeing how much (or more likely how little) I move about in a day. Seeing how many hours of sleep I got, taking into account my toddlers wake me up a few times every night. Having my todo list (Todoist) on the wrist, even though I’ll admit it’s pretty slow and I can’t quite get used to dictating my tasks. Seeing the weather for the day through a glance at a my wrist, to quickly know whether to bring a rain coat or not. Seeing the UV-index on a sunny summer day, to know how worried I should be about sunscreen for my kids. Seeing my schedule for the day without having to pick up my phone. Always having the phone on silent without missing calls or texts. Pinging my phone when I forget where I put it.

None of these features make the watch worth it on their own, but in aggregate it’s an amazing device and if it ever breaks down I’ll buy a new one in a heartbeat.

Yeah, I think the 35 is probably too simplistic, but as the links elsewhere in this thread shows, you can get an implementation that converts to a DFA and is competitive with your browsers and Nodes native regexp engines in just a couple of times that. I'm not inherently against having options that do crazy work to provide extra features and squeeze out a bit more performance, but I also wish more people would try starting over, because the results are often surprising.

E.g I'm pretty much "by accident" building my own desktop environment. I don't really want to, but I've rewritten bit by bit of software where it turns out rewriting something that does exactly what I want is often simpler than trying to fix issues in huge pieces of software.

It took me one night to replace Caja with my own desktop/ file manager. It does far less than Caja, but it does more of what I want. E.g. it has a semi-spatial mode that lets me control when to snapshot positions rather than do it either always or never.

300 lines of code. Should other people run it? Probably not, but at 300 lines we can afford a lot of variants more closely tailored to different workflows.

My terminal is ca 1000 and close to be more accurate and have more features than st (about 8k lines), and has more of the feature I actually use than xterm (88k lines of code). Xterms scrollbars code is many times the size of my entire terminal.

Xterm is more capable, but not 88 times more capable... And less capable in the areas I care about.

I tend to think we need more software that is less capable.

I'd rather have a wider choice in 1kloc terminals than 1 x 88kloc one, because the 1kloc ones are far easier to customize and tailor.

The big difference is that the flavor of a more expensive wine is more consistent than one you buy very cheaply.

Not really. Cheap wines are made in laboratory like conditions by experts in food chemistry, with grapes sourced and blended from a wide area and 'enhanced' with all kinds of chemicals and additives to consistency and stability. They also use plastic corks or screw corks and aren't really aged, which removes another potential source on inconsistency. More expensive wines are often made with grapes from a single vineyard and made using traditional methods and with minimal additives. This means that the resulting wine is much more susceptible to fluctuations in things like local weather conditions and other 'random' events. In fact one of the 'fun' aspects of wine is tasting how wines from the same grapes, vineyard and wine maker made 1 year apart can end up tasting really different.

Again, our view is that the TCP socket for admin is secure enough for 99.99% of users, and has been for over 3 years since Caddy v2 was released. We've still not seen any evidence of a practical exploit in the wild.

I guess the idea that directly giving out money to consumers is more beneficial to the economy (e.g. if the government just gives a $1000 check to everyone making under 100k) they are more likely to just spend it on goods and services.

If the central bank printed an equivalent amount per capita, more of it would be invested (into both productive and unproductive assets). On the other hand that wouldn't increase consumer good inflation as much.

In the New Jersey direction you have a higher chance of encountering a train with passengers on it, because they use Sunnyside Yard in Queens for this purpose, but the yard is often at capacity or the tunnels leading to them are, so those trains may need to turn around in Penn instead.

I wager more children get issues from bad posture on computers than carrying a mildly heavy bag from class to class… Honestly to me the worry of children’s backs carrying a couple textbooks is the epitome of the ‘nanny state’. Say a child has five different classes in a day, that will be five textbooks, some notebooks, a pencil case, and a packed lunch. Maybe also sports clothes. If a child can’t carry that (and I’m thinking 7+ here, but realistically you carry larger text books later in your school life) then they have some health issues already.

If they do have health issues accommodations should be made of course! But the vast majority can carry a couple books.

I agree fighting obesity is not going to be solved by carrying books BUT I think this attitude towards coddling children is partly responsible, along with food as you mention which is also very important.

Edit: Just so this isn’t anecdotal points, here’s a survey that found no evidence backpacks cause issues in children https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/52/19/1241
If you accept payments via Paypal you can't withdraw money for 21 days, at least that is the case in the company I work for. Explanation is that in case a dispute will be issued so that they can refund, so my guess is large proportion of those funds is such payments being held.
My experience is similar to another commenter: never in my life did I have to dispute any payment (in Europe). I understand the idea of added consumer protection, but in practice there seems to be very little need for it.

And apparently banks in Europe tend to side with the creditor anyway, so I'm not looking forward to the day I actually have to dispute anything, be it credit or debit.

> Credit cards are credit cards, even in Europe. It's just that banks issue debit cards, rather than credit cards and I think that the point

Partially but not exactly.

France "CB" are labelled "Visa" (not Visa Debit nor V-Pay) or "MasterCard" (Not Maestro nor MasterCard debit).

Their interchange system will make these card accepted mostly everywhere where Credit Card are accepted.

They are accepted even where Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit are refused (e.g Airlines ticket, Car Rental, Some Hotel booking).

And still they are all debit cards by default with instant payment taken from your bank account.

> Thus over all positions of the vertex on this square-edge, the area either is always the same (if the opposite triangle edge is parallel to this square-edge), or the area is maximised by putting this vertex in a square corner.

I'm sure this is correct, but the proof doesn't seem ironclad. As far as I see, you're relying on the idea that moving two vertices jointly, as one operation, can't produce any benefits relative to moving the two vertices in sequence one after the other. And while I have no reason to doubt that that's correct, it isn't obvious to me.

(Wording it another way - how do you prove that [the position of vertex B on the edge of the square] that maximizes the area of the triangle holding the position of vertex C fixed is the same as [the position of vertex B on the edge of the square] that maximizes the area of the triangle holding only the edge to which vertex C is attached fixed?)
Unfortunately the blog post is so poorly worded that I'm not sure after that. My reading, too, is that once you reach the threshold, you pay for those first 200k installs, too! The table says 'per install', not 'per additional install' or anything like it. Not sure though.
