In 2016, my second year at university, I was betting on the US elections. I'd collated multiple sources (FiveThirtyEight and a bunch of publications) to calculate each states swing and decided it would be a democratic sweep.

Unfortunately, I ended up losing a good portion of my savings I'd made developing websites over the years. I choose to take the night off to figure out how the make the best out of this situation, which ended up turning into TrumpTracker.

TrumpTracker [1] followed Donald Trump's Electoral Promises and kept the previous president-elect accountable for all actions and promises he made prior to his commencement. I deliberately open sourced [2] the project so that everyone could equally vote on whether a promise was comprised via GitHub issues. There was also a published iOS app for a bit.

Since I'd completed the project in 12 hours post election results it got picked up by the news cycle.

I enjoyed working on something at scale which collaborated with engineers, data scientists, and economists from all around the world, especially when the codebase was forked and used in other countries for their respective electives.

This project paved the way for a number of projects, as well as my current job, and also helped in securing my eventual O1.

This is the way I wish it could be (for me, personally), but some standardization among my friends is required. Which app do we tie our interdependence to? A very real question.
Thanks this looks promising!
Tax cuts for the wealthy only benefit the rich: debunking trickle-down economics
This is tangential to the subject at hand, but I feel obliged to complain about how much Substacks now requires you install its app to read the content. Very similar to Reddit, in fact. I've watched the progression in pushiness over the year. On my phone, I did not install the app and there was apparently no other way to read the article.

I block Reddit at the router for similar dark patterns.
I am glad it does, and I don't want to stop the motivation, but you are hearing the success stories. Most Github projects / side projects don't land jobs. That is why I think it is important to do them (if you choose to!) for other reasons too, like fun, charity, learning, or whatever.
It is quite bizarre we call them social networks.

Actually I wonder if there’s a market for an actual social network that is restricted to only being social.

Maybe you can only have 100 connections and you can’t post links or rants. Just life updates and photos.
Maybe, but that's the world we live in now. If it's crazy, it's an inevitable sort of crazy. Get enough spam calls, and even if you know you might get a valid call from an unknown number, you'll find yourself treating them all as spam just the same. We really, really don't do well with repeated false alarms.

It's how our brains operate, and the fact that the spam keeps on coming just reinforces it. If the call is legitimate and time sensitive, you hope they'll leave a voicemail or, better yet, follow up with a text message.
I think it's bit too much, once a while neighborhood or school cleaning makes sense but it shouldn't be part of a typical school day.

Along the same lines, lack of trash cans in Japanese streets and classrooms is also a source of frustration, most people have to carry their trash in their pockets which is weird.
The rich, entitled parents send their kids to private schools which employ janitors.
I always thought an interesting format would have been the plastic disc with a physical track similar to vinyl, but read optically so that it could be a disc that was compact like that other digital format. The loss in fidelity would naturally cause the format to have a charm of its own. Sort of like those old films with an optical audio track that have a distinctive sound.
Stumbled on your blog the other day while trying to figure how to use tailwindcss with Go. Had seen other posts here and the. Also a tail scale fan. Thanks!
There aren't. There are entire fields of this stuff.

Taxpayers shouldn't be funding studies into the weaving techniques used by pre-Columbian natives in the upper Mississippi basin.
Absolutely! It can be annoying till you build the habit of just putting your trash in your bag's side pockets.

What constitutes “modern” here? ~15 years ago I was bitten by the CMake bug and enjoyed it for years until I got frustrated by it getting 90% of the job done and having to fight it for the last 10%. These days I have “reverted” back to BSD Make, and feel pretty good about it.

So… when did CMake start its “modern” phase? Does my experience resonate with yours at all?
Why would you pay $100k to stop people driving their cars?
> But she didn't even know for sure the "got" was going to come. Yes, she saw the "temporary" label, but every relationship starts out temporary. Sometimes people date other people knowing ahead of time that it won't last forever. Sometimes people express that fact in writing (private diary, spreadsheet, whatever). That doesn't excuse this behavior.

I'm not completely convinced. I don't agree with "every relationship starts out temporary"; to me a relationship should be part of a good-faith effort towards a permanent relationship unless agreed otherwise. (And if you take the position that the girlfriend didn't agree to a relationship at all, then by the same token she can't complain about it being nonexclusive). If you know someone's maintaining a relationship with you under deeply false pretenses (explicitly or implicitly), then I don't think you owe them or your relationship any loyalty.

Blow has different aproach when it comes to building the language (it's project driven, as he is working in it alongside his bug commercial game), but that's it. Nothing about looking down on others
The analogy doesn't hold because anyone can send an email to anyone else on any service at any time.

You can't exactly just climb up a telephone pole and tap off a few phone numbers for yourself. You have to explicitly enter into a contract with a service provider to use their infrastructure.

Spammers and scammers are wasting infrastructure resources that the telcos could be allocating to users. The telco can just cut your access off if you abuse it.

If I spin up an email server, no one entity can stop me sending email to anyone else. Gmail or Outlook or other services can block me individually, but there is no centralized network and no central authority that can refuse my connection. [0]

I suspect that telcos don't want to do anything about abuse because it's a very large fraction of their total traffic. The artificially higher utilization of the network gives them more justification for their prices or gives them some sort of good boy points for having x number of users. I don't really know how any of that works, just a wild guess.

[0] There are centralized blacklists and other ways to communicate that a sender should be widely blocked, but that's not the same as a telco refusing to physically connect you
I was speaking to the results on Americans in this study

> To put America’s result into context, the average monthly income in the U.S. is roughly $6,000 (or $72,000 annually). Thus, the average American would need to make $19,165 per month ($230,000 annually) to choose to live in an authoritarian society rather than a democratic one.
Just a rant.

I hated this as a Japanese kid. Why the hell should I clean up the mess created by my classmates? Because kids are supposed to obey their elders. This is the continual tradition to nurture soldiers (literally) from before the war, and even the traumatic defeat hasn't changed that. Embodiment of submissiveness...
That makes perfect sense. Extra points if you designed the system to be replaced in time.
You misspelled “Hitchhiker’s Guide”: https://xkcd.com/548/
A lot of it is the connector and cable. Good connectors are surprisingly expensive.
I see. Having to vet and pick a provider seems to diminish the decentralization aspect somewhat. The upside is of course no provider lock in.

At first glance I had the impression of a decentralized crypto funded cloud and my mind goes directly to a homogeneous cloud of crypto miner like entities that are providing the capacity. But this system isn't trust free so that Idea can't work.
Now I understand the core aspect of the product to be a open framework that horizontally scalable cloud infrastructure can be built on.
I'm not sure what the best path is but judging by this comment section, the crypto funded capacity seems to be a somewhat unhappy marriage with the core product, at least in the current post crypto boom landscape.

In any case, I wish you the best of luck with this project.
I think here, the question of reciprocal digital communication and the (free) flow of information is markedly different from the reciprocity of physical goods, as the latter has historically had far stricter entry requirements, regulatory, monetary, or otherwise.

Regarding the former, none of the global players are perfect when it comes to unencumbered access to their respective digital markets, but as Tiktok (and recently Temu) demonstrate, getting a foothold in one may be easier than another.
Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry regarding our dataset's compliance with the draft "Basic security requirements for generative artificial intelligence service."

I can confirm that our dataset adheres to the data source security requirements outlined in section 5.1 and the corpus content security requirements detailed in section 5.2 of the document. Additionally, we have implemented safety filters to address the main security risks associated with the corpus and generated content, as listed in the annex of the document, which outlines 31 types of potential risks across five categories.

Furthermore, our user agreement explicitly includes terms that mandate the secure use of our services. We take these measures seriously to ensure that our dataset and AI services are not only compliant with current regulations but also maintain the highest standards of data security and integrity.

Please let us know if you require any further information or clarification on this matter.

He can't figure out how to make Twitter financially viable without the advertisers. Which is very ironic because all of his other companies are financially very stable without having to deal with advertisers and their requirements for political speech.
They do that at my kids school, KG and grade 2. They have to take out the trash, sweep the floor, dust the deks, etc. Kids are still on the younger side so it's really just ~15min at the end of the day. Still, good habit.
I'd argue that having a disdain for everyone and everything is actually an upside, and while I won't expect such aproach to become mainstream, I definitely appreciate it as a niche possibility
... yup, email was a total failure.
Re: Fog, your flight takes off from Oakland instead of SFO. It's not fun.
The way Suspense works is actually even a bit more interesting/horrifying: it doesn’t throw an error, it throws a Promise. Which again you don’t need to know to use it, and so it’s a valid implementation detail, but it’s a really odd one.
Same thing had always been the case in USSR. Though there were a GREAT many things wrong with USSR in general and USSR schools in particular, this one is just common sense. Any well adjusted adult should learn a habit of cleaning up his or her own mess.

>> It is quite bizarre we call them social networks.

They used to be social networks until they got littered with short-term engagement boosting content and ads. Facebook in 2006/2007 was so awesome.
>Actually I wonder if there’s a market for an actual social network that is restricted to only being social.

There's a huge market for them. They're called private group chats, and they're popular everywhere. The problem is that you can't make much money off of that, precisely because they're socially valuable (i.e., they're strictly socially-driven, so there's no opportunity for in-line advertising, or recommending "new connections").
We're pointing to a block of data; that's the 4 KiB. You have 12 direct pointers — that's the "12".

The "1024" appears to be the single indirect pointers: it seems like the inode only has 1 "single indirect pointer", so that points to a block's worth of pointers. (Hence the "indirect" part.) A block in this design is 4 KiB, and a pointer in this design is 4 B, so the block of pointers will hold 4 KiB / (4 B/pointer) = 1024 pointers — that's the "1024".
> The main issue with Fediverse is the vast majority of people don't know what it is.

Who knew what the Internet was when it started spreading into the mainstream? People don't need to know what something is or does to start interacting with it, it either needs a smooth enough onboarding process that people can easily experiment, or it needs some compelling value that they've heard about from others to make the extra effort worth it. Not sure where the Fediverse is on either of these points.
Maybe if he released the language and updated his changes in a main branch on github, but he won't do it. How many years has it been? All this time people could have been building libraries and tools.
The enemy is a for-profit, privatized healthcare system. Few patients can effectively compare medical services

Many are ill and in no position to shop around. Look at assisted living facilities: A recent NY Times article talked about how they jack up prices on individual services. How can someone in an assisted living facility shop around and leave unless they have family to help? And even with family help, moving a weakened, ill, elderly relative can be very difficult and stressful for them.
You can always continue to hold until you're into an emergency and then declare it. I mean it'll probably trash your career but it might impact the ATC too. Hooray?
It’s easy to deactivate. Many networks (ie LinkedIn) simply reactivate the account upon login.

Yes and no. You have dirtyness in Japan everywhere too, but they just systematically clean a lot and very often. Public toilets can be cleaned like 10 times a day. This frequency is unseen in the US
All of the ones I work with. All the ones I went to school with that I know what happened to.
It's always interesting to be presented with the bubble you are in.
I was under the impression that nobody seriously believed in trickle-down economics anymore.
I'm confused. Getting IPA integration looks relatively straightforward. You need to make sure that the FreeBSD packages have certain integrations enabled. If you aren't happy with the default package settings, you can raise that with the maintainer

It's easy to change the package settings anyway. You can do this if you manually build them yourself using something like portmaster for a one-off server, or run your own package and build server with poudriere, if its for a cluster of servers.

If you can make something that is 10x better than group chats, there may be a market. I'm assuming that someone soon will come up with something.
This is just factually wrong.
Across thousands of hours of Blow's streams, massive amounts of codebase, both from jai itself as well as the game that it is used to develop, has been shown.
You are free to not care about it until it's public,even be skeptical. And that's perfectly fair aproach.
But saying it is a vaporwave as if it's all promises and no substance is just objectively wrong.
For my current job, I talked about a lot of stuff I had done over the years. (My role is not best described as "Cloud Architect" which is my actual title; I do a lot more stuff than that)

The thing which caught the interest of one of my interviewers was a side project I had creating tools to be more effective at playing Travian.

Travian did something interesting, in that each server instance would dump a single database table nightly for players to ingest and tinker with.

I wrote a script which would grab the file, de-MySQL it to get it to run on SQLEXPRESS, and then execute some stored procedures to extract some insights out of the data. Then, I had some Asp.Net pages which would let you do interesting stuff with it: Find inactive accounts, Track someone's alliance history, a few other things. I had half a dozen tools for different things, mostly I focused on building stuff which nobody had thought of yet, and made the tools only available to people in my alliance.

All this was on the roadmap to start building a bot to play the game for me. That turned out to be a lot more work, and I ended up losing interest in the game in the interim.

We only spent about 10 minutes or so talking about it, but still, it was 10 minutes of followup questions. I feel pretty strongly this, and one other anecdote is what got me hired. (The other anecdote was writing a really dumb hotfix out of a decompiled java class to fix Novell eDirectory support for one of my prior company's products - in protest of our engineering group not finding the effort worthwhile)
MP3: How MP3 Was Invented, by Fraunhofer IIS
Japanese pop-psychology is funny. Japanese martial arts are all about "learning respect" and children cleaning up their messes is about learning to "respect your surroundings". But what's really happening here is people are gaining agency. In the US, most people seem to believe that they have no control over their environment, so it's fine to litter, for instance, because it's "someone else's job" to clean it up. They don't believe that they have the power to make a difference, even if they tried. It's not until you see that picking up your own trash... makes the trash go away... that people really get it.

EDIT: Also worth mentioning, an effect you see in the US and European countries is a sense that cleaning up your own messes is low-class, and if you clean up after yourself you're diminishing your own worth. Normalizing tidying up helps break this assumption.
I tend to agree with your conclusion, but this this was a survey, and people were being asked their opinion. Was there even an "I dont care care" option. How much do they care, and have they ever thought about it before being asked?

Real opinion surveys are hard and you cant infer much from the results.
Kind of an aside, but I can’t stand how in Svelte the statement “foo = foo” is semantically meaningful.
I didn't hate this as a Soviet kid, despite hating a great many other things as a Soviet kid. The idea has never been that another kid spit on the floor and I should clean up his spit, that would have been handled differently. More like that it's our place and in the course of normal use it gets messy, so we should all also participate in cleaning it up. So we all got wet cloth and wiped our assigned floor squares about once a month.
> Why the hell should I clean up the mess created by my classmates?

you would be learning to apply peer pressure on those who creates a mess to not do so, making clean up easier.
This is why Japan can have nice things.

Seriously, as a society we should have it ingrained in us from a young age to take personal responsibility for our space, and not pawn it off on someone else. It's depressing that we have so many people trashing our shared spaces and feeling absolutely no shame about it.

This is also why I feel like everyone should work in some kind of service job for a year or two. It makes you a better member of society when you can see the world from a variety of perspectives, from experience. It's the biggest red flag for me when a person treats service staff poorly.
As someone whose college girlfriend made a (much shorter) numerical chart about me before later dumping me, and even referenced it when explaining why, this hits home in a strange way.
Perhaps some of those 94% believe Apple shouldn't waste the physical resources to create an iPhone every year. If they used an extra year worth of time and resources on making the phone better, maybe it wouldn't be such an incremental upgrade, use less precious physical resources, and create less waste.
I would argue that a good interview process will certainly reject some candidates that would in fact end up performing very well at their job. To really understand if someone is good for the job, it would be very costly in terms of time spent in the interview process, both for the employer and for the prospective employee. It’s a poor allocation of resources by the employer and the candidate wouldn’t stand for it either. To judge a candidate, I wish they could come to our office and they have a full day to work solo on completing a small coding project. It’s just not practical.
This is a good article, but I've noticed that the adjective "modern" is used disproportionately more in the world of JavaScript, compared to other tech stacks. Is it more performant, more maintainable, faster to develop, compatible with more devices/platforms? If not, what is the advantage of being modern? That said, I'm a fan of JavaScript and have been writing it since 2001, and many of the backends I write are Node.
2011: A free Cards Against Humanity multiplayer website version using the then cutting-edge iOS lookalike UI. It had a simple, thoughtful interface - cards were clunky so it didn't do that, it was all very careful Clear-style colorful rows, and Evil Apples afterwards made that clunky choice nonetheless - and it was extremely easy to join multiplayer games with code based lobbies, no accounts.

There are a lot of people who can program out there. Being really opinionated mattered more. Perhaps to a fault, I was very opinionated about how card games should work on phones, how people should play multiplayer games, how you should work with free versus paid game content, etc.

A few days after posting maybe even to Hacker News, there was a lot of adoption. A year later, shortly after graduating, Scopely found it on GitHub, recruited me, and I went on to make some big mobile games with the rest of their talented team. A New York Times Flash interactive I made helped too.
