> Thanks for the free armchair psych analysis, but that's not why I came today. I'm here to compare patterns about our practice.

The Rorschach test you inadvertently did in your post resulted in you throwing whole hypothetical teams under the bus to then try to pass off yourself as the holder of the one true fix. You fabricated the hypothetical problem, you were quick to point fingers to throw blame around, and you were quick to present yourself as the fixer. There is no way around it.

> You're describing your garden variety software development. The SOP for technical debt is refactoring, not rewrite.

I didn't, and you don't refactor out a whole tech stack written in an entirely different programming language targetting entirely different platforms.

Again, you didn't even pay attention to the problem and you're quick to point fingers and present yourself as the fixer. There is a pattern in your behavior.

Humility is a virtue, and I'm not your psychologist. Have a nice day, and try at least to be kind to others instead of succumbing to your need to throw everyone under the bus.
The ambitious foray into messaging apps aside, a few things:

- What ACTUAL, sans marketing speech, benefit does this app have over <insert messaging app name here>?

- Android Store button exists, but redirects you to a form to give your email.

- The link here does not work.

- The privacy policy states you collect and store all UGC including messages. It also states you may share all this with your “partners”. Is it safe to say messages are not encrypted in any shape or form? How’s that a good thing?

- Again, nothing in regards to HOW the data is stored - I’m entrusting you with my name, photo, email and messages.

- There is also barely any information regarding the future of this app. How are we to believe it won’t just disappear with all of the collected data (which we also can’t export) say a month from now?

- There is zero information about who Scott Lee or “Epsilon Mobile” are. Your twitter handle is from July and your domain is behind a privacy shield.

The bottom line is, even if this is not a scam, it definitely looks shady.
Possibly. The article notes:

Show HN: StartupRoasters – Brutally honest feedback to help you refine your idea
Hey HN,
Today I'm launching StartupRoasters.com a community of people that give Brutally Honest Feedback to anything from a business idea, a Youtube video, a website...

In today's internet, I feel like getting feedback to one's projects is tough because most online communities slaughter anyone who posts their own work stating that it's self-promotion and spam.

That's why I built StartupRoasters.com where anyone can post their work and get feedback. You can even add a survey to your post so that people answer specific questions and make votes.

The obvious issue is that everyone is just going to post their work and not care about the others. The solution I found was to implement a points system. You need 100 points to create a new post about your project and to get points, you need to review projects from others, get upvotes, comment...

Thereby, everyone needs to contribute to get feedback on their own work.

I hope this community will grow and be helpful to people in improving their work.
Cheers,
Yassine (@ybouane)
I thought the OP's point is there are too many considerations when doing this?

Someone is suggesting a way of making it less tedious, and your response is "performance?!" even though in both scenarios you're running the same code and it is likely the compiler in release would remove the intermediary.
The lack of integration with anything. The primary method of storage being flat memory that cannot hold a DOM reference in a way that doesn't break garbage collection. The lack of string handling.

I'm not saying that it is impossible, but you would end up pretty much building a new language with all the required features, sitting next to the useless array-based thing.
Because designing a new motherboard is an expensive and painful process, so it's usually reserved for new processors.

The SBC market is full of things that are small and new.

But old processors are often run in old equipment, which has lots of space. And if you're running a new-old board, you often want bulky connectors anyway.

Excellent article. I have long thought that mobile has horrible UX, especially for typing. I don't know how other people aren't more annoyed. For me it's because I can touch type relatively fast on a real keyboard, and can switch between a mouse and a keyboard very fast. It's sooo frustrating not having the same speed on mobile while editing.

For writing prose, gboard is bad, but it's the least bad solution, its sliding gestures and predictions are good enough.

I use unexpected keyboard for programming on the go. Free and open source, originally developed for termux. It has arrow keys and modifiers, and undo also works (ctrl z). TBH it's not perfect for me as it doesn't have predictive text and its arrow keys are fiddly, so I use it sparingly.
I did not say this. If I build it in five days - and for simplicity assuming no future maintenance, support or service costs - than I would want to make say $5k for five days of work. Profit is revenue minus costs and costs include salaries. So I never said anyone should do anything for free.

But I have a problem with making money without doing any work. If you put in a week of work, then you should be paid for a week of work, you should not profit from indefinitely selling the result of that work again and again. Or even worse, make it into a subscription so that you do not even have to sell it again and again but can just repeatedly extract money from your customers.

I’m sure most instructors would, if they had a choice, cut lectures and just have discussion sections/labs. But this would require that everybody read the book and come to the discussion sections ready to engage.

Lectures seem more like a failure-mode that has somehow become the standard. Assume the students won’t read, and have a human take the book’s job. Humans are… not great books.

It is weird that video-lectures+in person discussion sections didn’t become the standard by, like, 2010 or so.

Thank you for WELLL ACKSHUALLYING that for me. I did read my source documents, and I stand by what I wrote: the phrase ‘processed food’ is absolutely meaningless. That you can find a bunch of different, vague, and conflicting definitions of the same terms in common use is part of the problem.

The stuff you quoted is, for the most part, absolute nonsense. Ultra processed foods are characterized by the involvement of “transnational” companies? Some ingredients in processed foods can be detrimental to health when consumed in excess? Really? Water is detrimental to health when consumed in excess. What about ingredients in non- and minimally-processed foods? I can think of several you should only eat in minimal quantities. The USDA definition is “regulatory” in nature, but NOVA’s is — what, exactly? You didn’t really say, but I’m guessing something like “health-based.” Their “group 4” definition includes all pre-prepared frozen meals. How is that useful? A prepackaged meal could be unhealthy to eat, or it could be quite healthy. You’d have to look at the ingredients to know for sure.

That’s the thing - the only sensible thing to do is ignore the phrase and focus on individual ingredients and overall macro/micro nutritive content. Anti processed food advocates have rendered the phrase useless.

And, by the way, the only reasons to add salt to canned tomatoes are to a) enhance the flavor and b) increase shelf life of said tomatoes.

Wrong. Windows uses UTF-16. It used to use UCS-2 a long time ago.
A original in-camera JPEG is easily 10-15 MB, while the raws are easily 30-40MB each. Stacks up quickly.

Granted, these are presumably edits from the raws, and a good AVIF or JXL export in full resolution should be more like... 5MB?
Ah - that makes sense.
Seems like you broke even and then some - let the rest ride. Unless you really need money but it sounds like you happy with the break even.

It really depends on your time line from here - after series A things will go well or could start slipping. So you need to think about it. If it’s a small series A there is more chance of another round sooner - if it’s a massive series a then maybe others have solid belief in this company and you should let it ride for sure.
> And yet you don't use different file systems for small files vs large files, for text vs movies.

Um, yes, I do. Not that it matters anyway, filesystems are not optimized to handle source code to begin with, they deal well with sectors/blocks and do that well.
Very happy with proton. Having simplelogin bundled in is great.

I think the endgame is having a different understanding of privacy, modesty, etc. There's no way this is going to go away or be regulated away somehow. Heavy handed punishment of young kids who generate images just creates more problems (though I imagine we'll go through that phase). Eventually (in a generation or two) it will equilibrate and nobody will take the pictures seriously or be interested in making them. There's novelty now, it will go away.

I can't see any other realistic direction this will go.
One time I installed a buggy version of Arduino and it installed recursively, creating file paths far larger than 260 char. I was unable to delete the files using explorer, cmd line, or power shell. I had to use cygwin. That was the most disappointed I've ever been with Windows.

How can a capitalist system exist that is not inherently authoritarian? If someone refuses to follow the rules ... you get the idea. The only difference is that they become the authority instead of being punished by it, but the practical effect on the vast majority is the same. See: Stalin's USSR vs. Putin's Russia. Different in theory, but both authoritarian and both imperialist and both (not coincidentally) very oppressive toward any kind of minority.

Again, this issue is orthogonal to the economic model. Authoritarianism can and does exist in every economic system. The antidote IMO is institutions which define and enforce rules without bestowing permanent favor on any one group. Democracy, federalism, checks and balances, yadda yadda. I even mentioned social democracy already. But don't take my word for it. I suggest you actually study the issue for yourself, not just polemics from one side but the actual history of how these systems have developed and the theories that have been developed with them over centuries, then reach your own conclusions. They might not be the same as mine, but I guarantee they'll be even further from the laissez-faire extremists.
It should, but it's early enough you might have to custom-compile to fully utilize it.

Also 32bit (or 32bit with weird memory features like EM64T) may be significantly faster because of the smaller memory access sizes. Or weird hybrids with 32bit addressing and 64bit extensions.
Thanks.

But that’s the problem. I haven’t used any of Tony’s products, but it’s hard to believe that each and one of them—is outstanding.

And this is the missing part. I see a lot of people on twitter, who build all kind of products. None of them are the next Facebook, and yet some of them are able to generate pretty nice MRR. But I rarely see people talking about how they promote their products.

It’s always one of two: (1) people use click bait and “beating the algorithm” tactics, or (2) they come up with an explanation of their success, after they already succeeded (I.e. I posted everyday, and based on survivorship bias I came to a conclusion that you need to post X time a day, interact with Y people, and your first comment should be a link to your product).
can you say more about the 20th century involvement of Sweden, their government and bureaucracy, in re-shaping the Balkans since 1970 or so ? (all new to me, news media seems filled with ads)

Because you shouldn't. Either try and write, and see if it fails, or if need-be ask for an exclusive lock on the file and see if the OS gives it to you. That isn't just permissions either, it actually picks up a lot of potential problems (e.g. device disconnected, lock conflict, et al).
Not offended. But I think you might be mis-understanding my post

The main take away you should have is that you need to be consistent, have a system and give your audience what _they_ want

Posting a lot about whatever topic you want to talk about whenever you want to talk about it will probably not work, especially if you are only talking about your product

People don’t care about you or your product, they care about themselves and their problems

Marketing is work, just like any other, it’s not a fun past time that you do on the side after you spent most of your day working on the product

And yes, people do get lucky, but the most successful people at building a personal brand are consistent in building an audience to try to increase their “luck surface”

She surely was a brilliant mind, but calling her "the mother of Wi-Fi" is IMO a bit disingenuous, it is like calling Becquerel "the father of the nuclear reactor" because he accidentally discovered spontaneous radioactivity.
Very interesting, but after a superficial quick read, it looks like the proposed parallelization method has O(n³) time complexity and O(n²) space complexity, with n being the number of sequential time steps, i.e., the number of tokens in generative language models.

If that's right, it means that in practice the proposed parallelization method will likely be much slower and much less efficient than modern implementations of self-attention, which have O(n²) time complexity and O(n) space complexity (for example, with FlashAttention). Ouch.

og_kalu, have you had a chance to look at this closely or tinker with it?
TEXTFILES.COM is http only - your reading material needs are assured.
As someone who has been studying type theory and developing strongly typed programming languages, that is a very strange take to me. It isn't untyped, it has a type: the GeometricAlgebra type, which just happens to have a very rich structure. Complaining about that is like complaining that Int isn't split into two types because it has negative and positive values. That makes no sense at all.

>Also, decades-old software written by long-gone engineers at the factory still runs on the equipment, and nobody understands how the stuff works nowadays. Therefore, there is plenty of incentive to keep the old systems running and running and running.

Vernor Vinge figured this out 25 years ago. A Deepness in the Sky depicts a human society thousands of years in the future, in which pretty much all software has already been written; it's just a matter of finding it.

Tell HN: Deceptive Amazon Day Shipping Option with “Buy Now” on Amazon.com
I bought a (time sensitive) product that was advertised as one day prime delivery. When I checked up on it, it showed me that it is set to arrive much later mid-week (+3 days than advertised.)

On closer inspection, I realized that I had used the 'Buy Now' option that only uses the Prime Day shipping option.

To me, that is a solid dark pattern and is making me seriously consider cancelling Prime for the first time in 15+ years.

> The whole point of the TV show was "Murphy Brown was divorced, and then she decided it was fine to have a child."

Here's how the Wikipedia plot synopsis describes it: "In the show's 1991–92 season, Murphy became pregnant. When her baby's father (ex-husband and current underground radical Jake Lowenstein) expressed his unwillingness to give up his own lifestyle to be a parent, Murphy chose to have the child and raise it alone." If you were to see a real-life woman in the same circumstance, what would you advise that she do instead? And why are we blaming the mother for the problem of deadbeat fathers?
That's fair, and it's also exactly one of the issues discussed in this thread. Namely, that refuting "misinformation" is an order of magnitude harder than spreading it.

I can tell we have deep disagreements, and it would take entirely too much time and effort to try and convince you otherwise (which is probably unachievable in this sort of forum anyways).

I'll just say that I disagree with the framing of your points around school curriculum and Florida censorship. The framing is the most uncharitable interpretation of what's actually going on, which is why I referred to your "less factual versions of reality".
There is no room for being a bit provocative here. Misinformation was mostly directed at the unsubstantiated claims about God, beyond that the Bible is of course a multifaceted book of its time containing all kinds of stuff from historical records to moral guidelines.

For the extension part, maybe. we only use very limited extensions in production: PostGIS, TimescaleDB, and PGVector will suffice for most cases, plus pg_repack, pg_cron, and wal2json for maintenance.

The core/RDS part (HA/PTIR/IaC/Monitor) is quite robust, which has served our 25000 core deployment for 3 years+ and survived dozens of hardware failures.
If I search for ‘ecliptic’, I get 2 different definitions: one is the “apparent path of the sun” (where the observer is the reference point), and the other is the plane of earth’s orbit around the sun (where the sun is the reference point). A good portion of the time, the plane of earth’s orbit is referred to as the ‘ecliptic plane’ and not just ‘ecliptic’. Maybe using ‘plane’ as a qualifier is a nice way to distinguish these ideas. Google’s chosen quick-definition, the one where it shows you the result without linking to a website, is the apparent-path definition.
Child pornography is one of the worst forms of human depravity, because in order to satisfy one person's messed up desires, a child is subjected to unspeakable sexual violence. We're conditioned to protect our young for lots of obvious reasons, so this triggers an understandable an entirely justified visceral response.

This particular situation is ... different. It's clearly still causing pain to children. It's using their likeness without their consent and in a sexually violent way.

But ... I can't get behind the idea of equating it to child pornography.

It should absolutely be considered a crime, and come with its own set of punishments for those found guilty.

Again, making it absolutely clear that I personally find this act to be vile, unacceptable and highly antisocial, I also think that it should be published much less severely than producing/distributing .. err ... "actual" child pornography...?

We treat manslaughter and murder as different things, perhaps that's a suitable analogy here?

This also seems similar to the whole issue of deepfaked porn involving celebrities. When folks said "AI is gonna usher in societal problems we have no idea how to deal with", I never imagined it would get this bad, this quickly.
