This is extremely misleading.

The author is not showing logos. They are showing the text of the company's branding, in monochrome, without the full elements attached. Take Microsoft for example. Yes, the OLD logo was literally just Microsoft, but the new logo is Microsoft with the 4 colored squares next to it. Omitting that means you're not showing the logo. Same with Pinterest. It USED to be Pinterest, but now it's Pinterest + a stylistic P right next to

Ebay's logo is entirely in color so showing it in monochrome is a useless comparison. Spotify as well. Not to mention they also omitted the spotify icon which came from the old o in Spotify and is now it's own icon displayed next to the logo.

These comparisons are frustrating at best and useless at worst. Instead of doing a monochrome comparison where we omit the logos and only include the wordmarks (which skews toward older brands since newer brands tend to use more imagery displayed along their wordmarks), why don't we have it the other way? Let's compare the logomarks; all of the old brands would be blank lines and then the new brands would have exciting and attractive logomarks. I'll even make my own comparison to demonstrate [1].

See how useless this comparison is?

Blew their chance at what? And what trade-offs would have been necessary to take that chance?

Those questions are at the heart of this talk, and I think make it clear that there is a much larger range of definitions for "success" than is often assumed. And that perhaps we should question the default definitions. Perhaps the decisions, if not the ones you would have taken, are not so obviously bad (or are at least understandable) with that in mind?
May not be a "catastrophe", but this is a perfectly valid point.

RAM bitflips is one of the sources of bitrot. You may use ZFS, do scrubbing and what not, yet still end up with a corrupted data, because it'd be damaged before it hits the storage.
A nice uplifting list indeed. As to all save the last two, one might hope that eventually love would manifest as action. Emotions, logic, and time are complicated for people.
I'd also prefer if there was no $100 to pay. But it is a fair price, and I find the attitude of programmers that everything should be free quite damaging. If you want to donate your free time, that's really up to you. Don't construe constraints for other people or companies from that.

No, a newly named award shouldn't really have any existing clout associated with it, and can make it's own reputation. The Turing award is not treated like a nobel prize by pretty much anyone, though it is respected.

Economics decided that kind of thing, say a "Smith award" wouldn't get them enough clout, so better to abuse a brand name for it's value. How classic.

Damnit, "was completely annihilated" was Right. There.
You are right that urgency is related to value (same as important), but also to time.

One way to look at it is that urgent things are those whose value is soon going to be accelerating quite a lot (even infinitely), either up or down. Important things are things whose value is high, irrespective of rate of change.

Example: Fix the hole now or the boat sinks: urgent (currently you have a boat that is completely functional: that's going to change). Arrive to the intended port and not a wrong one: important (if you make a mistake, you may need to spend several days travelling back. Sure, the longer you keep navigating in a wrong direction the more fuel and time you lose, but it is not super-urgent).

Hey! Absolutely, we would love to offer as many cloud providers as possible for our compute backend. We're starting with AWS, and will be adding other clouds based on demand. I've added Scaleway to our list, and if you'd like to help us bring ParadeDB to Scaleway we would love to work together to make it happen faster.

In the meantime, you can self-host ParadeDB on Scaleway directly by running the Docker container. Hope this helps!

All systems went through changes and I'm not afraid to change them further along the way. I was interested in video games from a young age and have an interest in how games progressed over the years. I saw a chance to have a somewhat comprehensive experience from the 90's over to the 00's, who knows how long I will keep doing this.

With movies I didn't want to start in the 30's and watch all kinds of esoteric material that is mostly historically relevant, I just want to be entertained with a movie. Also, with movies it feels more satisfying to watch a classic in between other movies, instead of watching only classic after classic, so that's how I designed that system. With video games, I want all experiences to be very good otherwise I will just stop playing. It's just how I consume it and it's quite personal.

Typically randomness adds an exciting factor to the equation so I prefer it over deterministic systems, but video games are an exception here.
Not sure about all of these, but some of the logos are actually incomplete: the Microsoft logo is only ever used together with the 4 "ex-Windows" colored squares, the Spotify logo always contains the "spotify icon"; in others, like the Google or the ebay logo, the letters themselves are usually colored. So it looks like it took quite a bit of manipulation to get to the point where all logos look the same. You could add other "logos" to the list, e.g. Lufthansa (https://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/homepage) - which is however also incomplete without the crane symbol.
I don't consider "replace half fucking motherboard coz a connector or chip got bad" to be called "repair"

Even among people who hold out hope that a warp drive is physically possible (as opposed to merely mathematically possible), I don't think anyone ever suggested that antimatter was a candidate for the negative mass required by the equations. It's always been some kind of unobtainium.
The author is using an IKEA Skadis setup which is pretty popular in the 3D printing community. There’s a bunch of prints available for it, highly recommend if you need a wall organization of some sort.

When the same stuff is sold on Amazon with 2x to 10x markup, it doesn't magically become safer, non-counterfeit or certified. Everyone is discussing economics because it's the only difference between ordering on Aliexpress/Taobao/Temu directly, and buying from Amazon/Ebay/Etsy/etc.
People look at this as a problem, but it's just fashion.

Today, one of the primary ways we interact with brands is through 40px tall logos. It's simply too hard to read many old-school logos, so everything looks "the same" right now as we all react to the new requirements.

But soon, logo designers will find new ways to differentiate as they need to. We went through this special time in the past 25 years when everything could have a logo much more cheaply. But we're reaching a saturation point so now "nothing has a logo" with much distinction.

The current season is lovely news for me, since I'm an awful logo designer but look like a genius setting everything in Jakarta. No kidding I have created 10 logos in the past year, all using Jakarta Bold, and they all look "great" – for now.
> "with uncertainty around the current economic climate, the widespread issue of financial anxiety isn't going away."

privatise profits and socialise losses.

the truth is that for anxiety to be relieved, we need higher wages, much more time off,
good healthcare and less rising costs.

economic "uncertainty" and inflation are not natural disasters. they are the outcomes of rational and incentivised behaviour.
economists proudly ignore real world data. They care about their models, even when they are obviously wrong.

Milton Friedman said "Truly important and significant hypotheses will be found to have 'assumptions' that are wildly inaccurate descriptive representations of reality, and, in general, the more significant the theory, the more unrealistic the assumptions."
I think many creative industries are in a rut. Brand design is no exception. I'm not sure why or what it will take to get them back out, but it's pretty grim to look around and see nothing but homogeneous "content".

There are other options for zero downtime schema changes in MySQL and MariaDB.

You can use the database's built-in support for instant DDL (algorithm=instant) for adding and dropping columns. And then use Percona's pt-online-schema-change for all other cases, since it supports foreign keys.

Or if you're using a physical replication setup -- for example AWS Aurora without any traditional binlog replicas -- you can get away with using the database's built-in "online DDL" (algorithm=inplace, lock=none) for quite a few other cases. Historically the main problem with that method is that it causes replication lag, but that's a non-issue if you're not using logical replication in the first place. So then you only need to fall back to pt-osc for the rarer ALTER cases which don't support online DDL.

MariaDB 10.8+ also has an option called binlog_alter_two_phase, which can allow you to use online DDL without causing much replication lag.

Fewer people are needed to perform a specific job as we do it today. But there will always be room to improve the products and services we produce and to make them cheaper.

Consider the steam-locomotive. It was a great invention but we didn't stop there now we have bullet-trains and hyperloops.

There is also plenty of room at the bottom as famously noted by Feynman I think. We can make products smaller to make them easier to carry around. New cheaper price points create new demand and new markets.

Also as economies improve, people will have fewer children, because they don't need them to take care of themselves at old age. So it's not like we will have too many people having nothing to do.

On the contrary I think AI can be the great equalizer: Rather than having fewer people who know how to do things, we will have more people who are able to do things with the help of AI.

The technology by itself will not produce a great society however. We need democracy to accomplish that. As people will have more free time they will have time to study and more and more people will demand democracy because they will understand it's the only way to avoid wars.

> Not sure why you’re framing this thread by different HNers as an attack somehow and your last statement feels judgmental.

I wasn't talking about the criticisms themselves, heck, I agree with them. I was more referring to the fact someone felt entitled to a good user experience they got angry.

Perhaps I'm being oversensitive on behalf of the guy who put effort into releasing this. But this isn't isolated, often people get punished for putting something out there that does not have a certain level of polish, I think that's totally counterproductive.
That’s what happens when you don’t have open source and open protocols. I see people on HN constantly complaining but very little support for distributed systems, especially byzantine fault tolerant with proper incentives, why? Incentives are key to such distributed systems working, but it sounds too much like Web3? FTX? Or what? I guess many people don’t want to see viable alternatives appear. So then all you can do is keep complaining about black boxes and secret actions.
Reeducation? I don't understand this.

If I have whatever believed higher standards to something (be it carbon-free, worker protection, no child work, or whatever) but other's on the global market do not, and it makes things massively cheaper, I can only have tariffs or drop my standards (or not care about competitiveness of my industries). What other alternatives exist?
I don't even have a clue how to force HEVC to use the same bitrate a ProRes file would use. HEVC is very efficient, and does not always use the full amount of bitrate being allowed. That's its the entire point for being. Trying to get "high bitrate" HEVC is one of those "you're holding it wrong" moments.
I think a key factor is that Evan seems to think about the (very) long term. With that in mind, relying on one person's sustained willpower and charisma probably isn't attractive.

Yeah, but normally taking money from investors means they want growth and a return on their investment which often skews business decisions to get quick money at some point. This often leads to an enshittified product.
It seems unrealistic to make millions of dollars in short time in return for a simple product that already exists in many variants even for free. So people believe the product will suffer which makes the users suffer.

Apparently the Perseverance Mars Rover has some self-driving capability:

With the help of special 3D glasses, rover drivers on Earth plan routes with specific stops, but increasingly allow the rover to "take the wheel" and choose how it gets to those stops. Perseverance's auto-navigation system, known as AutoNav, makes 3D maps of the terrain ahead, identifies hazards, and plans a route around any obstacles without additional direction from controllers back on Earth. [1]

The mission has used AI not just for driving the rover, but also landing and targeting instruments. [2]

Yeah - I don't think it's so clever that nobody has thought of it. It just seems obvious when you look enough into how hard inter-stellar travel will be.

But making machines that operate for 100 years seems doable if we try.

> It would be nice if someone worked on actually improving the terminal experience.

Contour. Oh, sorry, I mean: To be honest? There are plenty of young terminals that work on that, it's not just Contour, but also WezTerm, foot, Ghostty, Warp, and Terminal.click (even though I am strongly against their architecture). Also Charm and Fig should earn an honorable mention.

> Selecting, copying and pasting text is still pretty awful

Use the vi-like normal mode in Contour and that should(tm) fix almost all of the above problems. At least I have almost never touched a mouse again on Contour since I've implemented modal input in Contour. Well, I use the mouse, casually for scrolling and procrastinating by randomly clicking around. :)

> (why is the cursor an entire block rather than a I bar?).

this is configurable in recent terminals

> Editing multiline inputs is awful.

this should be implemented by your shell or readline, in case you want to improve here. your TE has nothing to do with this except that it provides the tools to realize that on the screen :)

> Navigating history is so-so (even with McFly etc.).

This is the job of the shell/readline.

> Anything more complicated than left/right/up/down fails half the time and dumps control characters instead.

I really cannot related that claim to anything I am experiencing in my own life. Sadly.

> Why are terminals always stuck in the 70s? Can I get a modern terminal?

To be fair, they are not named "emulator" for fun and giggles. But I agree, not every VT sequence or semantic should be blindingly implemented. Especially the Unicode case on Terminals were always a fight against the historian terminal emulator developers. I asked myself why a lot on that matter. My theory? Because it potentially requires those existing terminals to fully re-write their core code base in order to be fully (as full as it gets) Unicode aware.

Have a look here for a baby-step forward: https://github.com/contour-terminal/terminal-unicode-core

This is implemented by 4 terminals (Ghostty, WezTerm, foot, Contour). One bite at a time I guess. Let's just stay positive, we can't break the world! (Terminal.Click? You listening?) But we should certainly break here and there when it makes sense and also not blindingly implement the 70s again. The GUI has also good moments and can live next to the TUI ;)
One example of this is people saying "you have a 1 in 10 million chance of getting attacked by a shark!" I thought about this swimming for an hour+ a day at a beach with a huge amount of sharks.

Like "1 in 10 million? What's the average number of hours per year per American spent full body swimming in shark infested waters? Not even a very high % of people who live in this area spend as much time doing that as I do. If I spend 500 hours per year doing that, my risk calculation has gotta be about 50,000 times worse than average."
Yes, you are right, just saw this yesterday, too.
Agreed, though also I really appreciate this sort of "obvious" experiment, because the incentives really aren't set up to encourage it and we've been surprised often enough over the centuries that Actually Double Checking is probably something we should do more of.

(there's a parallel here to 'more negative results' and 'more replications')
"False positives are rare" does not imply that a positive result it is probably true. True positives might be even rarer than false positives.

The problem is false positive rates are usually expressed in terms of "what proportion of negative cases will be reported as positive?" which can't answer the question "what proportion of positive results will be wrong?". Answering the latter also depends on how many true positives there are, which may vary, or even be completely unknown. The false negative rate also needs to be factored in.

I guess I agree with you when you put it like this. I think I don't like the term "technique" here because it makes it sound as if there's something you need prior to starting meditating; as if there are some requirements to meditating; whereas I would argue meditation is not that different from the non-meditative state. Sure there are techniques like counting your breaths or body-scanning but I think this is all secondary to just sitting still and noticing whatever appears.
