OK, I will: it's illiberal to ban a computation on the grounds of the pollution emitted by some ways to generate energy. If the pollution is bad, you want to discourage the bad way to generate it, and encourage the good way. If this makes a computation more expensive (in those places where less-pollutey power is less available), that will discourage that computation if and only if it's not valuable enough to the person choosing whether to run it.

A human may emit more CO2 than a computer doing the same work. As AI improves, this will happen more and more until they dominate humans by this measure. Then you'll have established a principle justifying a ban of biological humans.

If you believe in human rights, it's mostly bad to put prior restraint on people's use of computers, just as it's bad to restrict writing, talk, and privacy. The restriction of this kind that makes the most sense to me is on the development of superhuman general intelligence, until we understand better how to avoid that ending humanity.
Non-blocking I/O channels use fewer threads (native or green) than tasks. Some programming languages ARE designed to handle this: they use async/await.

You could argue that Go does this more elegantly with goroutines, but this further highlights the point that threads should not be a silver bullet to development models.
Does ordering something from Amazon and having it reliably show up qualify as wonderful?

How about AWS lambda+DynamoDB+S3, a system that allows you to run 10 fairly complex web sites for 6 bucks a month AND reliably stay operational with almost zero maintenance effort?

>adjective

>inspiring delight, pleasure, or admiration; extremely good; marvelous.

>"they all think she's wonderful"
Exactly, they include other programs. They don't ship a kernel that includes a music player.

It is, I agree, at the end of the day he built his products on top of corporate workers and exploited good opportunities and niches, and he brags about it, to market it, which I personally find distasteful, but that what it takes for solo devs.

But it's not the vibe I get from most of the comments, it seems a lot of comments are knee-jerk reaction promted by envy.
I think the takeaway here is cooking in plastic in the microwave, not the microwave technology itself.
Sorry but you can’t fall downhill into 45k a month. You also can’t write down a cake recipe for 45k a month like you seem to be expecting.

As someone who, over the last two years, has created a more modest 5 figure MRR business, I can assure you, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

It takes a lot of skill and understanding of the market and market forces to be this successful. Being able to do the same thing again and get the same results is exactly what these people are not trying to do.

There seems to be some disconnect between what you think would make a successful business and what people who are making successful businesses do.

If I was to start again today and do the same thing, I would fail. If I wrote down what I did and someone else tried it, they would fail. The market has moved on since then and so every day when I get out of bed, I need to get my work done, manage my team and plan for tomorrow.

And after all this, my little MRR is an important metric because it shows success and because it’s something that I’ve worked the hardest in my life for.

Best of luck for your nature walks, people get to chose what they do in life.
Very cool! Wonderful work.

I love how, when somebody makes two or three of something, the one in the movie is the 'real' one and the others are 'replicas'. Even though they are identical.

Ad based exploits are not remotely new. Most ads these days have their own javascript- it would be surprising if they couldnt be used to deliver exploits.

As other have said, this is a key reason to block ads.
It doesn't make sense to me that there should be consensus. People have diverse opinions and values, and these topics are highly situational and subjective rather than neatly, objectively, universally right or wrong.
baaaahahahaha, you think this ponzi scheme is going to end any time soon? Think again.
In the 80s a bully broke my friend's arm and only failed to break mine because of a thick coat. Teachers were busy chatting it up and didn't believe he was truly hurt. I however left a mark on the bully when I bit him. My friend suffered in pain the rest of the school day. I got a stern talking to. AFAIK the bully was treated as a victim, even after my friend came back the next day in a cast.

Also got to witness a classmate getting spanked on his bare ass by a teacher.

The 80s weren't so great for safety in school.

Not sure if indoor cameras are the answer, though I wouldn't mind if they tried at my kid's school.
Not really that I’ve seen, they are basically written in plain text and you are at the mercy of the tab writer. You really got to have a recording available to go along with the tab since theres no rhythm information at all usually.
Let's agree to disagree. Out of curiosity, did you adopt this belief before or after talking with your friend?
I didn't mean to describe python as "legacy"; it is a great choice for scripting in the year 2023. It's second only to pwsh for that.

I use pwsh on Linux every day.

Anything that isn't a lisp machine is a legacy OS ;-)

I realise I've given offense, for which I'm sorry, but I'm driven not so much to denigrate bash as to advocate for a world where shells are semantic.
This falls into the category of "the tiny bit of extra safety I may gain is not worth the huge amount of inconvenience that it causes."

Even if I were to stop putting stuff in the microwave, that won't account for all the other foods I eat outside the home that may have had microwaving as part of their preparation process. I mean, I'll take a frozen package of ribs out of the freezer and microwave it for a minute so the surface softens enough for me to cut the plastic and peel it off before thawing or brining the meat.

No, I think I'll just take my chances and not have yet one more thing to stress out about.

That is extremely impressive for a model that can do literally millions of tasks. It is not trained to play chess. It can write stories, code, recipes, franslate text, create JSON AND play chess. Don't you see how amazing this is compared to everything we had previously? LLMs are not just generalists that can't do anything specific properly. They can play chess better than most humans and I'm pretty sure soon they will play better than any human. And this in a general AI system!

I fully understand their choice to default to CGNAT because of their rapid expansion and the lack of available IPv4 space. However, if they have the money to invest in ISP grade CGNAT equipment, adding IPv6 shouldn't be a big problem.

Ziggo's DS-Lite, which also CGNATs IPv4 traffic, is annoying but at least you get a normal IPv6 subnet. This would've been a much better solution looking forward.

Dutch ISPs in general have plenty of space. Dutch ISPs has 53 million IPv4 addresses for a country of 18 million according to the first result on Google. Every person in every household can have a home connection and two servers without anyone lacking IPv4 addressing if these addresses were all pooled together.

However, there's no guarantee that things will stay this way. Like I said, Ziggo already does a form of CGNAT, and as the price of IPv4 addresses keeps rising, I expect more cheap providers to start selling off address space. KPN will stick to normal IPv4 for a while, but I don't trust super cheap companies like Odido to have the benefit of the consumer in mind, especially after trying to route all traffic through their affiliated German exchange instead of AMS-IX a while back. Odido is owned by an American fund as well (which is why they had to change their name), as is VodafoneZiggo.

For popcorn there’s a third option: get an air popper! They’re fast and convenient, make great popcorn, and allow you to precisely control how much fat you add (since they don’t use fat to pop)!
Are these people entrepreneurs? What risks did they take. I wager almost none, they were fine whatever happened.
What about all those foods that come wrapped in plastic that you put directly into the microwave. For example, you can buy countless vegetables that you are supposed to cook / steam in the package.
I once played a esoteric video game where you had to interact with a terminal inside a 3d world as part of the gameplay mechanic. It was implemented in unity, and it featured motion blur when a lot of output was generated. Since then I always wonder if text editors and terminals could actually greatly benefit from motion blur whenever text is moving.

The purpose of motion blur is first to make things seems smoother, but mostly to indicate how things are moving on the screen with lower framerates. I think with motion blur you could make text jump way further frame by frame while understanding how text was moving. If you have a word that is bold on screen, you could make it jump half a screen with within a single frame while immediately understanding where it went. Wouldn't that help navigating e.g. huge logs (esp. if they're colored) faster while still having a sense of how far you moved frame by frame?

If your terminal outputs so much that nothing of the screen is the same frame by frame, you could also still get a feeling of how much is actually outputted, by how blurry the screen is.

Never got around implementing it though, curious what you think!
I mean we're talking about it here, and health hipsters have been talking about it for a long time, but are we actually at the point where enough people know/care that concerted society-wide effort is being made to fix it?

Basically all food comes in plastic now a days. There are still people surprised to find out that the aluminum or steel can they get food out of is coated internally.

This article is talking about heating plastic in a microwave which is something a lot of people do but I suspect fewer people have unloaded skids from the back of a tractor trailer in the summer. That stuff that is at room temp on the grocery store shelve has gone through a tone of heat cool cycles before it makes it to you.

I think there’s an interesting argument to be made about reducing the attack surface area for userspace though. A really naive thing to do would be to run any shell (any program really) in its own isolated environment. The barriers to this aren’t really technical IMO, mostly they are UX barriers. It needs good OS support, and there’s not really a developer oriented OS with smooth mechanisms for escalating and de-escalating privileges at a granular level (sudo ain’t it lol).

An ideal development environment would: (1) allow for executing unsigned/self-signed code without jumping through hoops or relying on a 3rd party or App Store, (2) allow for escalation and automatic descalation of fine-grained privileges with native UX for grants (LittleSnitch on macOS has a good design for this specifically for networking IMO —- one could imagine extending this to the file system).

There are plenty of systems that have some aspects of these, but I have not seen both, at least not in a form accessible enough to be ubiquitous in 2023.
here's a good read about terminal emulators, including speed benchmarks and discussing security aspects: https://lwn.net/Articles/749992/ https://lwn.net/Articles/751763/

For practically my whole life I've had this recurring memory of a 1-12 song with this exact rhythm and couldn't remember where it was from. The older I got, the more I wondered if it was manufactured purely by my imagination. I'm pretty sure this is it. Even though it was made before my time, it must have either been re-run in the 90s or some teacher might have played it off a VHS tape.

Also, gotta love how the video is 12 minutes and 12 seconds long. :)
The obvious upside is that it does have "affordable" and "housing" in a single sentence, especially if we are not talking about Moscow (but even then your chances of owning your own home now exist).

In terms of form validation: Those things are all useful, but also trivial, scoped to a single element and in some cases near useless from a UI/UX perspective on its own.

Again, client side form validation is all about guiding the user. It's a pure UI concern that should make it easy and obvious for the user to understand if they are about to make a mistake or similar.

Take "pattern" for example:

At which point is this useful for UI? Does it tell an average user what they _actually_ need to know to provide a correct input?

No of course not. Regex patterns are deemed black magic, even among some programmers. You are going to have to explain in words what the format (or pattern) is supposed to be.

Great, the user understands what is should be. But the error message is still a useless and generic "It's not correct".

We don't do that to ourselves btw. Our programming languages tell us exactly what the issue is and where it is. We also automatically insert characters and terms or at least suggest them.

Or other trivial stuff like date/time ranges (from/to) can't be expressed with native form fields.

The solution to this is of course to use JS: composite input fields, insert spacing or other characters to automatically structure inputs, make suggestions, underline errors etc.

But all of that is bespoke, subtle and sometimes hard to make accessible. It's 2023.
Are you thinking that picking up trash and building infrastructure are examples of labour that is victorious with working from home?
Just to make it clear: the database doesn't have to contain exclusively top rated games. It can be 99% low ELO games, as long as there are suffiiciently many high ELO games (in absolute number), the LLM is large enough, and there is sufficient context for the model to distinguish high ELO from low ELO games, it can learn to play well given fhe right prompting.
So that's ls

It’s money-focused because that is what people want to read.

I’ve been running a small successful software business for 10 years and we’ve posted here, Twitter, everywhere over the years, and nothing I write about attracts as much interest as when I open the kimono and share real numbers.

Partly it generates feedback like yours which is cat nip for social feed algorithms, but I think mainly people just really like personal details about others lives and businesses.

My advice would be to just not read these if they bother you.

Touring artist’s absolutely have a say in their ticket prices, after all it directly correlates to how much they will be paid. Once tickets are handed over to promoters and distributors then it becomes out of their control.

Festival appearance rates are agreed on in advance of ticket sales, so tickets prices are the responsibility of festival organisers.

Custom mobile apps for different companies in the industry is sooo under utilized that you can easily reach 10 million a year with 70-80% margins by just doing that.
I've been exposed to precisely this mechanism at "mom & pop" venues; it works great, and no one's upset (there's a loss of last-minute transfer between friends, but that's the cost). Ticketmaster self-scalps: it's in their best interest not to have this mechanism.
I think the guy’s aesthetic just turns people off here. He seems intensely invested in how to make virality happen in any way possible, and building simplistic stuff that’s not advancing the state of tech. People here want to see technical contributions and organic success. It’s kind of ironic since this is a forum made by a VC company, but I doubt the Tony guy could get into YC with his ideas, despite his 70k followers and 40k mrr.

Adtech is a pursuit that has turned into a scientifically-quantified attempt to subvert the executive function of other human beings with the aim of getting them to perform actions they would otherwise not perform.

If you can't survive without engaging in amoral psychological manipulation of other human beings, you don't deserve to be paid, and your way of life should collapse.

Find a different job.

Let's not forget that this article is about adtech being used to distribute malware.
This makes sense. It provides a signal of seriousness by cost.

Coincidentally, my neighbor is working on a dating app that instead verifies income sheet and/or balance sheet as a proxy filter for people who want to date similar HNWIs. (It's anti-sugar*.)

Perhaps one day there will be a dating app that pairs people by appearance, stats, and interactive personality match by machine learning and does a real background check while blinding the biases of visual and profile particulars before in-person meeting so the focus is on real communication, not who's the most attractive or the best comedian. Failing that, it's easier, simpler, and cheaper to talk to people in the real world.
Nintendo's hilariously bad Switch networking guides ("to make games work, forward ports 1-65535 to your switch") are more of a Nintendo problem than a CGNAT problem. Normally I'm all for blaming CGNAT for shitty internet issues, but Nintendo is at fault this time, and ISPs should rightly tell their customers to ask Nintendo to get its shit together. Even without CGNAT, STUN/TURN is important to get peer to peer connections working.

CGNAT brings tons of issues, but following Amazon's pricing model, I don't think consumers would be willing to pay $4 a month to rent an IP address. Better to sigh and shrug at the two of three games and programs that don't work than to spend $48 a year, especially with the current cost of living being on the rise.

What about the porousness of the vegetables? It is well understood that there is a high likelihood that vegetables are contaminated with "meat bacteria" before reaching your home. In fact, a significant number of "meat bacteria" illnesses are attributed to the consumption of contaminated vegetables.

Which, of course, is why you wash your vegetables before use. If that washing is good enough for your vegetables, why wouldn't it be good enough for a cutting board?
Management frowned at this suggestion.

Oh interesting. Typically the gradle release notes, like 8.4-rc-1, will have comments that imply that Groovy build scripts compile but Kotlin ones lag.

"Gradle now supports using Java 21 for compiling, testing, and starting other Java programs. This can be accomplished using toolchains. Currently, you cannot run Gradle on Java 21 because Kotlin lacks support for JDK 21. However, support for running Gradle with Java 21 is expected in future versions."
