Right.

But there has to be a better model than delegating innovation to Apple and Google. It's a huge conflict of interest too, since they are both Ad companies.

We're heading down a path where there are products that only Apple and Google can build, and it's a huge problem for the ecosystem.
Ugly people with lumpy bodies have been successfully reproducing for millennia. Many of them even had/have shit personalities to top it off. Dating sucks because in modern times we are coddled and are terrified of failure, many of us spend way too much time behind computer screens and on social media so our people skills have atrophied, and we also spend relatively little time around other people in fun and recreational environments so the opportunities are just missing in a massive way.

The apps completely change how we perceive ourselves and our potential sexual partners. I can't believe I have to say this, but the biggest things that have changed with regards to dating in the past 10 years vs the past 1,000 are social patterns and technology.

>It’s completely asymmetric gender-wise and failing on it is basically failing on being.

This kind of attitude is so harmful. If your life's purpose is 100% dependent on some idealized stranger granting you validation you are in for a bad time. Sex is great, biological imperatives are powerful, but you wont find animals falling into existential dread and despair because they haven't gotten laid yet (or recently). That is a particularly human trait, and it comes from obsessive and self-defeating beliefs about the world rather than reality itself. You might feel like this belief is out of your hands, but it very much is not. Your beliefs are one of the few things in this world that are entirely up to you to change and improve upon (or not).
What a weird article. A whole lot of words to say, "hiring low performers will hurt your company"?

And the alternative is, "hire good people but not with the PM role"?

It reads like someone had a bad experience with a PM who thought they were Steve Jobs. PMs are just ordinary people, I don't understand this supposition that anyone holding the title is going be an entitled douchbag. An org can have thousands of PMs, each with a superior.

Just a weird article

True, I didn't mean to suggest that the n100 is a bad machine. I'm actually considering getting this one for running opnsense directly (instead of as a pass-through NIC-enabled VM on proxmox)! I was just pointing out that AMD does have machines in this "mini ITX teensy tiny cheap aliexpress special" form factor.

Bottom line is that the n100 is a way better choice than pretty much any overpriced and under-supported ARM SBC these days.

I had a look at the "design a crawler" part, since that's something I have experience with. It makes some pretty sketchy assumptions and weird design choices.

First in the back-of-the-envelope calculation it overestimates the size of a document by about two orders of magnitude. It's closer to 7.5 KB than 500 KB on average, uncompressed. 500 KB is closer to the size of Homer's Odyssey, which I will state is much longer than most websites. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt though, maybe I'm misunderstanding what these 500 KB is supposed to consist of.

I also don't think the crawl frontier design would work at the sort of scales they imagine. This is a design that will get you to maybe 10 million documents.

Apart from the profoundly questionable choice of using a nosql database for this, apart from the race condition in the crawling algorithm, Redis can only store 4 billion (2^32-1) items in a set, and let me tell you, crawl frontiers grow very quickly when you design them like this one has been designed. By the time you're indexing a billion documents, your crawl frontier will be of many orders of magnitude more.

The biggest mistake is to think too link-oriented. You probably want to retrieve links one domain at a time as this permits connection pooling (otherwise your biggest crawling bottleneck will be waiting for the remote end to acknowledge the connection's closure), helps with deduplication and means you don't need to re-fetch robots.txt for every single document you retrieve. It also solves many problems limiting how much you fetch from a single domain, since you can just set a hard time and link limit.

You don't have to re-fetch every document on that domain when you refresh it, just get the new ones and sample the existing ones. This also means you don't need a billion-entry priority queue, you can get away with a manageable queue of a few million instead.
I thought Tesla's strategy was getting autopilot to the point that their cars would be utilized more hours in the day, essentially like these Hertz Teslas have been used. But apparently they can't stand up to that amount of use?

Silvanus' book makes calculus simple by adopting an infinitesimal approach, like Newton and Leibniz did when they invented calculus. But that approach was shunned by mathematicians for a long time, because it was only made rigorous in the 60s. After Silvanus' book, I also recommend Elementary Calculus: An Infinitesimal Approach, by professor Jerome Keisler, for those interested in this alternative pathway to calculus. It can be freely downloaded at https://people.math.wisc.edu/~hkeisler/calc.html

I think the only viable option is a two or possibly three state solution. For obvious reasons (obvious to Israelis at least), Israel must remain a majority-Jewish state, so a one-state solution is simply impossible. That means a two state solution where the Palestinians have their own state.

But how to get there from here is the problem. There have been many attempts at peace, including several peace deals that the Palestinians walked away from. The common line is that Israel has agreed to every compromise peace deal that's ever been put forward, which I'm sure isn't accurate, but is largely true; I fully believe that if the Palestinians had a decent leadership that would try to negotiate with Israel today and offer a deal, Israel would accept it.

But as long as the Palestinians insist on things that are unrealistic - with Hamas obviously being the worst example, insisting that Israel stop existing! - as long as that's the demand, I just don't see how we get to a peace deal. And obviously, Israeli leadership has been somewhat between apathetic to the Palestinians and full-on discouraging any kind of deal, so it's not like the Israeli government are exactly saints on this topic.

The only possible hope I have is that the current war is so bad, it forces Israel to actually wipe out Hamas, but then help get a more decent leadership on the Palestinian side that will actually help get to peace. I'm very doubtful that will happen, because I don't really trust either side to acutally pursue peace.

Show HN: Newslater – A Personal Newsletter Generator
Inspired by my ability to collect articles from HN that I wanted to read, but never getting around to reading them, I built Newslater. You add the articles you want to read to your reading list, and Newslater will email you a newsletter containing summaries of 5 of your articles sent at a time you choose. My aim was to create a tl;dr newsletter from articles you are actually interested in.

The app is free, has no ads, and is available on Android and iOS:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.readlater.readlater
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/readlater-personal-newsletter/id6469415216

It’s a bit rough, but I thought some others may be interested in giving it a go. You can see examples of the newsletters it generates here too https://newslater.co/

It's a fairly harsh take, as a whole, but there's parts of this that absolutely ring true. Once you get that "product org" in a company, it tends to progress the way the author describes, with committees and OKRs and review cycles and planning and a lot of bureaucracy.

I took, naively, a product manager job at one place I worked, thinking it would finally give me formal control over the product that I'd been previously asserting through influence - very successfully - in my client-facing sales engineering role. Of course as soon as I got in the chair I discovered it was a highly-constrained clerical job that I was completely unsuited to. Managing tickets and a backlog; coordinating decisions instead of making them; writing interminable powerpoint reports; the most creative thing was putting together a process for the company to follow in formalizing its product roadmaps. I lasted six months before running away.

The function is quite useful in supplying some visibility into what's getting built and in managing conflicting priorities for a growing product, but one thing it is not is shaping or controlling the evolution of the product in any way. It's a sorting, filtering, and (if you're lucky) a data collection function, producing an auditable decision trail and an impression of maturity in decision making which helps the MBAs higher up sleep a little easier.
Who was ever in love with dating apps? They were used because it was becoming impossible to meet people outside of them. People used them and loathed using them from the start. You would come up with stories together on how you "actually" met as it was embarrassing to say, "a dating app".

The only people who enjoy using them in the slightest are people who see relationships as transactions and are looking for something specific: sex for the night - or a kid, but certainly not love. If no other avenues are available, dating apps seem like a useful tool.
My parent’s waited 12+ months for a replacement bumper for their Tesla. They eventually decided to just trade it in for a new SUV. My dad is the kind of man who takes excellent care of things, and keeps vehicles in perfect condition.

If Tesla was able to provide the replacement parts I imagine they would have kept the car, but the waiting and poor communication from Tesla was the deciding factor to go back to a SUV.
I went to Mexico once, damaged the side of a brand new rental car (big huge dent in the side of the door from a close corner in an alley). Shockingly to me, the repairs (which they estimated and billed me for when I returned the car), were less than the insurance (that I didn't purchase).

It would definitely either be TS or Python.

I think I might use Bootstrap but I'd heavily customize theming.

Probably SvelteKit or Vue for the frontend. Most likely SvelteKit.

SQLite or a flat file database for sure.

I think what I would do is use Tornado to serve SvelteKit pages, if I went with Python.

Definitely a monorepo for front and back end. Probably I'd try to do zero server side templating.
You could be right, although given that it is explicitly about filtering contemporary political bias, that would be an unhelpful definition to work with. Also many progressives nowadays will say the same thing about issues at work for example. When people say things like, "let's keep politics out of the workplace" they will say that is impossible because that reinforces the status quo, which is a political viewpoint.

If humans have a big enough presence on a second planet for there to be wars, we’ve almost certainly spread throughout the rest of the solar system and potentially have even put generation ships en route to other star systems, so even if earth and mars are nuking each other humanity will persist.

That scenario is somewhat unlikely anyway simply because access to resources is so much greater at that point, with there being thousands of times more of anything we have on earth in the asteroid belt and other parts of the solar system.

>What's with the insistence of running it off of just MySQL?

I think the most honest answer here is that it's planned but not scheduled. There's an open issue to update Textpattern to PDO:

https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/issues/345

…which will open up a whole new world of possibilities.

The Textpattern dev team & user base is pretty small, and the user base is largely patient, so Textpattern can sometimes fall into a trap of being 'good enough for now' and go for extended periods of time with few commits. What tends to happen is a release is scheduled, takes place, and then the plans for the next release are more forefront in our minds. The most recent release was nearly two years ago, which is a long time in Textpattern terms, but I'm confident we can get Textpattern 4.9 into the release pipeline this winter. More on that here:

I am living the reality described by the article. The PM role has too much power and too little accountability if things go south. The usual scrape goats are sales, then engineering and support.
Meh, the article's solution smells like great man theory.

> Tremendous people envision alternative realities, fully commit themselves to their work, and move mountains with their willpower.

The last part is so reductive. It's not willpower moving mountains. It's the underlings actually making the vision come to pass. At most the "great person" is aligning the incentives to motivate the actual doers and experts.

> You hire everyday great people. Each one needs to be great at something, obsessed by their craft, and driven by quality. You then put them together in a team, without individual responsibilities, ensuring that there’s minimal overlap in areas of greatness.

My current company is full of smart people, and (for a variety of reasons) we don't have product managers. It sucks. What happens is that the things a PM does do not get done. Very few engineers want to maintain relationships with customers, interview users to identify potential features, manage leadership, play politics for resource allocation, and so on. So it doesn't get done. That's what happens there.

At my last company, where I worked for about a year, I had three product managers. Two of them were fired because they were incompetent. One was really, really good (tremendous, in the parlance of this article). Our team still got more done in a year with a fraction of a good PM than my current company has gotten done in over two years without any PMs.

I agree with one thing: there aren't enough good PMs to go around. My belief is the number of people cut out to be a good product manager scales linearly with the size of the population. You need certain personality traits and other qualities that can't be taught. You can mint mediocre PMs in school, but you can't make good ones that way, let alone great ones. The problem we are dealing with is that the software industry did not scale linearly, it exploded exponentially, and it needed 100x the number of people wearing the PM hat than there were actual, bonafide PMs in the world.
I guess the question I have is whether this is really the optimal setup. Shouldn’t we be encouraging more tenure-aged faculty to be getting their hands dirty with research?
Obviously the truth is somewhere in between, there is no engineer so talented that they can produce a 100% reliable and available system, and the percentage goes down the more complex the system gets. The decision of whether to have a on-call rotation should be based on the consequences of downtime, not on some kind of moral stance on human fallibility.

This is no longer true, the older rents were unfrozen by Assunção Cristas, about a decade ago. As a consequence, many older people were thrown out of their homes to make way for AirBnB, particularly in the touristy areas.
