I asked pretty much the same kind of question in response to another post, and it was recognized as being very valuable.

This one was perceived differently. Based on the unusually high number of downvotes, I have some explanations that may explain them: some people have little awareness / appreciation for (some combination of):

- the importance of signal to noise ratio on HN

- YouTube, for many, is an unwelcome rabbit hole —- and so a lot of people don’t want to go there without good reason

- the value of asking “what do you get out of this” questions

I am genuinely curious about other people’s brains work. I’m also acutely interested in building better awareness and even mechanisms for collaborating and discussing.
While I disagree with the video's framing of the question, I didn't find her position within that framing surprising at all. In that sense it's a pretty standard center-left embrace of capitalism with caveats/regulations. What surprised me is just how scattershot and circular the argument was, and the near-total dismissal of any kind of critique of capitalism (which I consider kind of a problem for someone arguing "capitalism is good" in light of a ~150-year tradition of "capitalism is bad" commentary).
Here Are Five Things I want to share coming out of YC
Self-hosting is definitely not easy, but it’s the indirection more so. You’re excited about X and want to gather a community around that, and you definitely don’t want to spend a lot of time on Y (mechanics of running a forum).

It’s good that Matrix is catching up in UX… we’ll hopefully soon be at a point where it will be good enough to serve as the default choice. All it would take at that point (for example) is one SNAFU from Discord.

Financial independence is a big deal, though. Especially for people living in poorer areas of the world, where the majority of the population is struggling to get by. This type of content, where someone shares their legitimate road to FI instead of using some get-rich-quick scheme is a big deal. It's very insightful, and inspires many to want to do the same, which is a good thing.

I'm sure that if your plumber or proctologist shared their journeys this openly that others would find it helpful as well. Mentioning incomes can be tacky, and I too scowl whenever someone boasts about theirs, but this article didn't strike me as such at all. Which is why I think the negative tone here is unwarranted.

Every one of those skills you list benefits you, personally. That isn't what public education is for.

School teaches skills that you will use to benefit society. Lessons in tax cheating and being frugal are wholly antithetical to that.

You instead learn how to build a bridge, understand failures in history and how to work with toxic people you can't just run away from.

Your idea of school is indistinguishable from a FYP or curated YouTube channel...it's all about you. Where's the ROI?

Why are people (or maybe it's AI, ha!) writing hit pieces about a non-profit who attempts to make classical works widely and freely available? Not sure who/what "quartz" is but it's giving off major writing-for-hire vibes. Likely there is not a single member of SAG who cares what Project Gutenberg does.

Maybe this is another union ploy, similar to the Netflix hit pieces a month ago about the ML job.

I think if they had initially released this page there would have been very minimal outage. Not just the change in plans, but the language itself seems more thought out.

I had to double check this, because basically the only use of symbols in any languages is to provide a constant value you can treat as an internalized string (like Common Lisp keywords, for example). The would be entirely useless if that were not the case.

Luckily, the current Dart specification does guarantee this (section 17.8):

"Assume that i ∈ 1, 2, and that oi is the value of a constant expression which
is a symbol based on the string si. If s1 == s2 then o1 and o2 is the same object.
That is, symbol instances are canonicalized."

Apparently, there's even special treatment for "private symbols", which are only the same object "in the same library". TIL.

Source: https://spec.dart.dev/DartLangSpecDraft.pdf

EDIT: there's even a whole sentence justifying the existence of symbols as being related to reflection, actually... they say Dart literal Strings are already "canonicalized" so that fact about Symbols is not enough for that.... hence you're right that String literals are just as good for the use-cases I had in mind. I guess I will use String literals from now on after all.

EDIT 2:
> I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "need"

Hopefully it's clear what I "needed" now... basically, interned Strings to avoid wastefully comparing bytes when a pointer comparison would suffice as all values are known at compile-time.

they don't mind that actually... they just want you to not sell it or anything too close to the original game. if you want to figure out how to compile it and play it they are fine with it. it seems to be the don't screw me over license.

In this particular case, I'm not sure it would be possible to modify the code in transit, because although you could trick the user into submitting the code into Fake GitHub, you wouldn't be able to authenticate as the user to submit your modified copy to Real GitHub.

More importantly, in my opinion, the end-user has no way of verifying the integrity of the code if authentication was the only security measure. By signing releases or the commits themselves (which can be done with both PGP and SSH keys currently) the end-user can verify the integrity themselves.
It's important to note that no artist would have done that because the economics for it weren't there, or some would already have picked up the work.

This is not technical question, but mostly psychology, so best answer you will find talking with good psychoanalyst if you cannot switch yourself.

To be more informational, I suggest google, how to accept the inevitable. As this is the most annoying thing in development, question, where to stop doing and become abstract observer, or switch to something more important.

In practice, this could be done by switching environment, go to gym, or even go to travel.

Some people could use meditation, some need just look good cinema, or even read good book, or just walk on street. It depends on how good person in regulation of his psychology.

Now consider that courts will use this evidence in case of a crime being suspected. And they will presume Apple’s backups to be more reliable source of information that anything you can produce.

I too lost quite a few files with iCloud Drive a while ago. I think there might have even been a second file sinkhole, as some of my files disappeared entirely off iCloud Drive circa 2015, without showing up in the deleted/recoverable file list they had if you logged into iCloud over the web. That's not what the author describes.
That's like saying that cars don't address the where-to-park issue at all.

It's up to you, the author of the contract/dapp/whatever, to decide on the conditions under which it should make changes, and its up to the users to decide, based on its code, whether they should trust whatever other users (or keys, or data) that it indicates.

Users trusting users, not users trusting infra.

(Yeah, ok, you could call the contract "infra", but the difference is that once you publish it, you no longer have a privileged position to alter its behavior. It is to be trusted, or not, based on its merits, not on yours. The same cannot be said for certificate authorities, DNS records, databases, or websites, whose maintainers typically retain privileges that are not shared with the rest of us.)
Last time I checked, there is no file versioning for arbitrary file type on iCloud, meaning that if I made a mistake and modified a file by error, there is no way to get the old file back. I decided that I was not going to put any important document on iCloud but should rely on Dropbox or Google Drive.

(It seems that certain apps -- the type that I never use -- support file versioning within the app. That's not useful.)

Git doesn't even work well with large binary objects.
It’s a non-profit, open source venture with negligible revenue doing the best it can to open up reading to people of all colors and stripes. What a stupid fight to pick.

If you want to complain, complain about the Bezos-owned WaPo adding machine-generated audio versions of all their stories (linked prominently under the headline) and pushing them for a podcast-like experience (terrible quality generated audio, might I add, having clicked on it yesterday by accident while scrolling and couldn’t figure out how to stop it until I just killed the app).

Unlike Project Gutenberg, WaPo and NYT used to hire narrators for their popular stories or bleeding headlines. That is revenue and jobs that might actually be erased.
You can significantly reduce it easily. Don't heat things in plastic, don't buy hot food or beverages served in plastic or "bamboo / paper," stop using K-cups, etc.
I enabled Advanced Data Protection and put the recovery key in an encrypted 7zip file, then uploaded that file to Onedrive and Backblaze also picked it up. Every now and then I have a reminder on my phone to test-decrypt the recovery key locally to make sure I don't forget the encryption key.
I mean 45k MRR with 90% profit is far from moderate success when compared to US minimum wage (or even of a more civilized country like Switzerland where it’s $4k), especially when living in moderate or low cost of living locations like Vietnam or Bali (he also mentions Lisbon but i doubt the CoL is comparable to vietnam)

Especially when working only “4” hours a day.

I think the only concern with something like that is the sustainable lifetime of the product, seems to me you have to re-invent the business every few years if you want to keep your solopreneur story going ( the product grows beyond the solo part or gets overtaken by the competition).
Thank you! I didn't know. I'll research and move the folder.
Ignoring all the weird design decisions, STS was flexible enough to do a bunch of things we still don't have a replacement for, such as on-orbit service missions, satellite return (if we wanted, never used as far as the public knows), ISS reboost (dragon can't, cygnus can), etc.

Anyway the failures I was pointing out were very tactical, classical get-there-itis ones. Challenger had a clear warning not to launch on that cold day but was overridden. For Columbia, Boeing engineers modeled potential damage from the foam strike, but mission managers dismissed the risk and decided not to inspect and mitigate; there were several options on the table that might have improved survival if they had done so.
I guess this is rather category #2 than #3, but my favorite example is Advent of Code 2021, day 24: https://adventofcode.com/2021/day/24. I think many people consider this one of the hardest AOC problems ever and at the time many people didn't even code up a complete solution but solved in manually (me included). However, with Prolog it's almost trivial. So many of Prologs strengths come together here: writing parsers, writing interpreters, solving integer constraints, and in particular "reasoning backwards".
I’ll do my little PSA of: your “cool mist“ or ultrasonic dehumidifier is pumping your air full of particulate pollution. I’ve measured this myself, unintentionally, by putting one in my daughter’s room where I already had an air quality sensor. The PM2.5 soared.

Don’t put these in a bedroom! Probably avoid them entirely, and used a steam humidifier if you need the functionality.

> Yeah, I suggesting that at the very least it could be, if it means more Americans have access to an airport and airlines served a larger percentage of the country

Why would it mean that? It obviously didn’t work that way before deregulation and afterwards air travel became much more accessible to more people
>can individually lifestyle-choice their way out of

>Plastic pollution is a systemic problem, and has been for decades.

Sorry, this gets uncritically repeated so much that it's bordering on propaganda. Like it's just doing free work for oil companies at this point. This kind of stuff is exactly what I'd say as someone working for an oil company's social media team after realizing that individual choice is not something that happens in a vacuum. Corporate propaganda on the personal-carbon-footprint issue backfired - they thought they would be able to demoralize people, but it slowly grew into a movement that continues to grow. It's honestly kind of funny they thought people wouldn't attach their morality to decisions about environmental destruction.

"individual lifestyle choices don't cause systemic change" is a bastardization of the original concept. And it's actually doing the original intent of corporations - to demoralize people about seeking an oilless future.

The original concept was that one should not feel guilty if they can't make an individual lifestyle choice because something is preventing them from doing so. It was never meant to demoralize people from using their own moral compass to decide not to participate in certain behaviors. I don't get why "I want to use less petroleum-derived products and eventually none at all" is exempt from spreading through the social network as a worthwhile idea when literally everything else does.

Again, people aren't individually responsible for the systemic results of their choices, but their individual choices do create signals that result in systemic change. Our choices don't operate in a vacuum, our peers, friends, and family all look at what we do; their peers, friends, and family do the same.
Glad my buy-orders went through Friday when it broke into the $31/share territory. This'll make for a tidy flip.
Sure, but how does that help you chose an effective strategy? For example, winning lottery players absolutely dominate when it comes to risk vs reward. But that doesn't mean playing the lottery is the way to achieving your financial goals.

Without an understanding of the underlying odds of success, isolated success stories are just random noise. And you have to ask: are they really success stories? Did Linus set out to create a world known free kernel, or was ìt just serendipty, he was just a random bloke who filled a role that needed to be filled at that particular historic time, so in fact had no control over the story and did not, in fact, change the world, he just gave a name of the rough thing that was to appear at that rough time.
I think this is the beauty of HN: having people that does not share the hive mind from Social Media, edgy comments, contrarians, insiders, builders and people that reflects over the topics posted here.
I have substantial layman's expertise in quantum physics and while she correctly points out many mistakes that are even in textbooks, she also follows the very niche Superdeterimistic viewpoint and then presents hypotheses that follow from that viewpoint (Hidden Variables and Einstein's gloves) as if they are facts. For a science educator, this is a massive problem, and so she's become my least popular quantum physics educator even though she explains many quantum physics concepts very well.
He does, at times.

HN Algolia search should find some.
We can tell an argument is rational when it upholds existing power structures and diminishes people who are already marginalized. They're probably just complaining because being marginalized upsets their emotions.
Your comment got me curious, so I made it into a spreadsheet.

There are 265 papers currently.

If you're curious, there's a reason it feels overwhelming. Here's a plot of the age of the papers relative to now. Its a bit of a wall/tsunami.

Edit: Because of the shock like character I also postulate several hypotheses:

- It will rapidly expand like a fireball, consuming all of the "air" of possible nearby topics.

- Possible secondary: Ignition of other topics as possible fuel to extend the publishing "burn."

- Possible secondary: Vacuum implosion when all nearby topic fuel is expended.

- Cause significant destruction (existing wealth, businesses, market segments, ect...)

- Cause many humans to effectively "reflect" due to its impenetrability, effectively rendering those humans permanently downhill as consumers.

- Possible secondary: Further shocks as the shock wave bends or reflects off of "currently impenetrable" obstructions (topics that do not immediately turn into fuel).

- Cause significant secondary (mostly unrelated) growth in topics impeded by the current suffocating fuel environment (like an old growth forest that has become choked with debris and oppresses all growth)
That's probably an age (culture) thing. The smokers I know smoke -- and even vape -- only outside. The oldest one is 48 but they're married to someone a bit younger.

Now that OCaml has gained algebraic effects, I suspect that it should be feasible to reimplement Lwt to use these instead of monads, which should make writing async code much easier, which in turn should make Ocsigen much easier.

I don't know if that's in the books, though.

I’m inthe PNW and feel this is largely situation dependent. Was camping in Oregon last weekend and was surprised by how many different groups of campers were conversing at length with one another. When on/around my boat at the marina it’s common for folks to chat openly.

In my neighborhood it’s very much the opposite and there’s little/no eye contact and chatter.
NextCloud, but the experience is fairly frustrating (gotta open the app manually quite often).

Google Photos had better hooks previously, and I can't tell if new iOS limits that shaft NextCloud also affect Google Photos, since I don't use it for a while.

Our Unity rep has been applying a ton of pressure to purchase more licenses and I've heard similar stories from other companies.

I think Unity has some bad financials right now and are pressing every part of the business to generate more revenue.

I don't think this was some grand scheme - I think they're panicking about money and acting without thinking through the long term consequences of their actions.

iCloud has become a real nightmare when I try to build something in Swift Playground and open it also on Xcode on a Mac. On iPad I was constantly reminded of conflicts, saying that the file is edited elsewhere, while in fact it was just I leave the Xcode window open. Sometimes it just revert to an older version. It is really annoying.

Stop putting your work directly on a network share? Maybe I'm weird but for 20+ years I always used network shares for backups, or sharing of data. Never to store my live work, that's always on my local disk. Why else have a local disk?

People put way too much trust in these computers. It feels like we're learning the same lessons over and over again. If you had to put your trust in 1) your local disk, or 2) a cloud service, then local disk always wins. Common sense.
