Sure, if you literally only have a metal utensil, it's fine for a couple of uses, but there are other side effects as well. When you use metal and the the nonstick coating begins to scrape off, that means it's going into your food and you're likely eating it! It's not good for your health or your wallet. I think every discount store I've ever been to has a set of plastic spoons/spatulas for 1 €/$/£ so there isn't really an excuse not to use them long term.

Hmm, my experience with one of the largest investors in NL was a full verbal 'yes'. The investor was actively involved in the hiring process (that is how I got in). A founder put in his cash (think a small apartment) for a lower single digit percentage of agreed valuation. I signed for something smaller / similar but without bringing in cash.

In reality the money never arrived, they forked in few times 250k. The other investors who bartered a deal all brought in their share. My takeaway is that even the most reputable investor has absolutely no limit in saying yes and doing no.

The motivation for everybody was greed, and that was buzzing around due to the fact a large investor was involved. They know that and they used it. But in the end in this world signed contracts and wire transfers are the only credible thing.
A thousand times this. I'm hesitant to use ChatGPT whenever I really want the information to be correct. It's fine for getting a general outline of an historic event, for example, but not for getting the exact year and date of said event. I've been burned by way too many close-but-not-really's.

I think GitHub Copilot made this very obvious. It can outline stuff really well, but you really have to double check and fix everything that it spits out as soon as complexity is above a certain (very low) threshold.

ChatGPT is quite far from being the Google replacement that some people pretends/wants it to be. It's like that annoying friend who is extremely confident in announcing facts, but is often wrong. I keep giving it the side eyes.
Yeah, of course, violence.
This might be true for a fixed power output. But as you acknowledge, idiots (enthusiasts) means larger engines =more noise.

That said, We don’t have to specify the means to reduce noise … just set the limit and let people comply how they want. But a large engine is a probably dead weight given the range of reasonable speeds in residential areas or off of a motorway.

They're far behind Nvidia in gaming, to they try to compete on price to get market share back.

Eg the 7900 XTX competes with the 4090 in rastering but is between 30 and 50% cheaper, 7900 XT / 4080, 7800 XT / 4070 are all winning by decent amount in pricing. Frankly this focus has allowed them to catch back in a field they've behind for more than a decade now.

The rise of RT and other compute tools in gaming (DLSS and co) is hurting this strategy, but their APU being on PS5 AND Xbox Series keep them in the race, game engines and game developpers need to make it work on AMD tech.

With Nvidia pricing and memory choice this generation, it's the first time in a while that bying an AMD card for gaming is the better choice at almost every price point (unless you can afford the 4090).

Everyone can see that. Those old “black light” fluorescent tubes had filters that eliminated most of the visible light and appeared a dim purple when on… but modern UV LEDs and such emit plenty of visible light.

That's because they emit a bit of violet light too

What system would you recommend?
Bikes with no mufflers are already breaking the law. We should actually enforce those laws
I feel Spotify doesn't do anything they don't want to do. Most changes (especially) in the Podcast function are baaaaad. I switched from Podcast Addict to Spotify (already had it for music), and I ended up to stop updating the app, because I dislike more and more every update.

The insult to that is also "no changelog". I hate the generic "we try to make it better, but ain't telling you what". So at this point it's a gamble whether I want to update or not, so I don't.

Also for Spotify, perhaps it's time to allow a pool of 1000 (?) volunteers from each language to help you rewrite titles, names, etc. in the local languages. I'm happy for the latin alphabet, but do make a "local language" field and then let the users see THAT instead of the common if they choose to.
Every time France wants to organize something with african countries, the world colonialism is thrown somewhere in the discussion. French colonialism died 50 years ago. Time to move on.

All countries in the world can participate in "Francophonie" initiatives or meetings. There are 88 countries who participate in it. It is just a club to promote french language.
That's with every dialect of English. English has phonemic stress, i.e. the way you stress a word can change its meaning or make it unrecognisable unless you're speaking to an English-speaker familiar with people who speak English coloured by whatever your native language is. This is a particular problem for French-speakers, since French doesn't have phonemic stress.

British and Irish people will probably understand French-accented English better than Americans because of greater exposure to French.

> why would you need VC money to build an app after you've already spent several months doing it?

As someone who raised VC money for a SaaS, the answer is that operating a SaaS requires employees. I had two choices - attempt to operate it myself and incur a lot of personal costs, or raise money to pay for those operating costs at no personal cost.

Contrary to the other posts, the goal was in no way to operate at a loss for a long period of time or to get some sort of exponential growth at all costs or whatever. It was literally "do I personally want to spend 10s of thousands of dollars and attempt to operate a complex system 24/7, or do I want to take literally 0 financial risk and be able to pay other people to help me".
Ask HN: Use cases for a modular webhooks system
While working on a project with lot of 3rd party integrations, I have developed a modular & scalable webhooks system that can accept events from many sources and follows a pub-sub architecture. The system has seen good amount of traffic in production and has worked really for the purpose it was built for.

Now I am exploring potential independent use cases for the system. Webhooks-as-a-service is the first thing comes to my mind and products like Svix already do it.

Out of curiosity I have a natural question - can this system can be an independent product (SaaS)? What are some use cases that a system like this can solve?

It’s the same as using “unsafe” in rust, it shouldn’t be necessary by default, but when you do need it, you can have a well-defined part that safely encapsulates all the logic of dealing manually with memory. The end result will be a safe program with the assumed memory/performance-bottleneck of doing it naively solved.

The difference in both of those cases are that you can create a micro framework yourself for the few abstractions that you need. (Not saying that you should!)

Doing this with Java entails reflection and various other runtime extending toolery, which requires a huge panel of tests because of a lack of ability to type the more difficult aspects. This is certainly not impossible and I have done this many times, but it's not practical and it is not cheap.
This.

I’m currently working at a company with lots of smart people.

But everyone wants to work on the sexy stuff. The core parts of the business either don’t get done or they are half-assed. It’s like a dozen monkeys banging at a dozen typewriters. Lots of noise but little productive work.

As the saying goes “everyone wants to come to the party but no one wants to clean up”.

Quality employees know not everything is fun or exciting to work on. Hell, some of the most important stuff is viewed as “boring”.

But valuable employees recognize what’s important for the business not just their own careers or own interests.
Yes, but it gnerally wasn't considered a virtue.
> For a very long time Apple's platforms were the only ones with a proper OpenCL support

I'm curious about this, since I never had a problem with OpenCL on Intel, AMD, Nvidia and am pretty sure I did with Apple in the beginning. Shipping two commercial OpenCL apps since 2010 (and they still work excellently on all of them).
I heard the short deadline advice also, it’s nice idea but has flaws:

- most VCs will have at least a few days delay on when they are willing to meet you

- intros are required, and often intros come out of other VC meetings. This means you can’t shotgun everything

- if a VC wants to meet after your “deadline”, will you actually say no? Who has more power?

If you are a hot deal or Michael Seibel himself, the short deadline probably works. For mid level startups it’s not as easy.
> need to put controls further apart to allow a taller

You know that how exactly?

Maybe that the case but if it’s not maximizing safety and minimizing failure risk (so by extension any unnecessary complexity) should be prioritized over any accessibility concerns under any circumstances
CDNs can track which sites you are browsing, at the very least via knowing the request referrer URL. The larger the CDN, the more you are likely to be served a file from it, and the more information it can collect about you.
This has happened in many developed countries and not just Japan. My guess is due to globalism, stuff got really cheap. For example, many 70” flat screen TVs were at $400over the past few weeks. Another reason is the year by year lowering of testosterone in men.
I'm specifically talking about refunds not purchases as in US only a few states have laws relating to returns and refunds.[1] Otherwise its left up to the retailer to set the policy. Most purchasers are not making large amounts of interest on their checking accounts compared to the balance amounts a business would carry. If no settlement happens on the weekends I can see a large advantage to a business holding one million dollars in refunds for two extra days before you complete or run the batch job of refunds.

When I make a purchase I don't get to decide when to run the batch job for it to post/settle. Retailers however can determine when they want to actually process refunds. What can a customer complain about when the posted refund shows up on the following Monday, Tuesday, Friday, two weeks later?

To further my point of retailers not being incentivized to process your refund quickly there was a small study done that delaying refunds had customers "re-spending" the refund before it had fulled settled.[2]

SE/SE is called out explicitly in the ISO26262 documents (functional safety in road vehicles). This makes it easy to defend the inclusion of such a guideline, even if you may not agree with it.

But as it happens, MISRA C++:2023 doesn't have this guideline.
You're coming off as very biased. My startup was certainly grounded in research and rigor, I even spoke with academics at universities about the work. In many ways, my project was productizing some state of the art CRDT research by applying it to a domain that is in dire need of solutions - information security.

Most founders I met were doing similarly well-founded work. You're thinking about a tiny fraction of the VC market - the moonshot startups that make the news. Most people are raising money around very reasonable ideas, of course, since VCs obviously have to minimize risk for some of their investments.

In contrast, ChatGPT appears very hard to forget who it is. From my understanding, LLMs are fed with vast amounts of facts and knowledge. The input data may often involve the use of pronouns such as "I" or "You" in various contexts. It appears natural that LLMs might struggle to establish a sense of self. How do humans manage to avoid this when reading stories narrated in the first person?

For me the naive part is focussing on player options.

I understand that groups generally have one DM and 4 players, do if you include player options you might sell 5 books instead of one. But that's the shallow, cash-in-now-fuck-next-decade mentality.

Meanwhile they haven't put out a decent adventure in a decade. The internet is awash with people trying to glue their ramblings back into coherent campaigns and running D&D (always a huge time sink) is becoming a worse experience every year as they keep flooding the market with crap.

I love running games but I've come to the point where I'm not really interested in starting a D&D group anymore because of all the bullshit.

> This said, I am all for a simplification of French

Interestingly, they tried 15 or 20 years ago, and that went nowhere. The only thing I remember about it is they wanted to simplify oignon, but I don't even remember if they suggested removing the i or spelling it like in English.

> It was "vas-y carré"

I guess I'm too old to know this, even non abbreviated.

> sometimes one r, sometimes two, sometimes one l, sometimes two.

Same with m, etc. And many more. The "fun" part of living abroad and barely speaking or writing French is that now there are plenty of times where I can't find words or how to spell them. It's compounded by the fact that English spelling of similar words is sometimes different (e.g. address vs adresse), or worse, some words spelt the same way have different meanings (which trips French natives often, but now I sometimes have the opposite problem, ironically)

I'm not sure, actually. The law doesn't seem to specify, although it does say exceptions can be made, so I figure that's what happens. Estonia has also been known to deport its own citizens when they truly are a menace to our society.

> Creativity is a personal pursuit that demands time made for it like anything else. School isn't really the proper place for positive reinforcement of that. Teachers are overburdened enough.

It feels like that's starting from the wrong end though — teachers are over-burdened because of the way the education system is set-up; it's a symptom of the status quo rather than a reason that we shouldn't change it.

I think if we say "School is where you go to learn academic stuff only; there's other places for everything else", then we waste a big opportunity.

If instead of tieing ourselves to the current system as a model, if we just started from a blank sheet & the premise — "School is where we allow every kid the opportunity to spend 14 years preparing for life after that. What's the best way to use that time?" — I don't think we'd end up where we are now.
> With the price hikes, and also just how complicated it is to actually run and maintain IT-Operations in Azure (I can’t speak for AWS) we’re now in a world where more and more organisations here in Denmark are looking to get out of Azure/AWS to reduce cost, and many have already made the move.

It's an endless loop, I think. I've observed a very different behaviour in other parts of the world, where companies which either migrated away from the cloud already, or companies which never moved to the cloud to begin with, are now moving things into the cloud and other managed services in order to better focus on their core competencies.

Dropbox, for instance, shifted everything out of AWS in 2014 -- but are now moving a lot of their corporate infra back into AWS in order to focus on effective and efficient storage, which is what they're good at, without having to build everything else themselves. Likewise hedge funds - if you look at job postings for a lot of systematic trading firms (e.g. Jane Street, HRT, 2Sigma, etc.), you'll find loads of them are hiring extensively for people with cloud experience, because there's been a sort of wake-up moment where companies are breaking free of the idea that everyone can be Google, and realising that you can't build everything in-house if you only have 1000 employees.

So, interesting to hear of a move in the opposite direction in Denmark. I'm sure that ten years down the line, a new generation of engineers will be coming in and asking, "Why in the world are we managing all of this infrastructure on our own?"
Unless all objects allocated by the library have one of the fundamental alignment requirements, I'd add a fourth item to the checklist:

4. All functions take the alignment requirement as a parameter. The alignment requirement must be a power of 2. The reallocation and deallocation functions must be passed the same alignment requirement value as was passed to the allocation function when the block was first allocated.

A common motivation for rolling out your custom allocator is dealing with extended alignment requirements. This should be reflected in the allocator's API.

I tend to stick with the first thing that works and isn't too complex. On the frontend, I stayed with Angular. Tried react, hated the infinite abstractions, came back to Angular. Have been reading about Svelte's pragmatism and simplicity. If it really makes things simpler and allows me to reason about lower level things, I might move to it. Not urgent.

With Node, I stayed with NestJS+typeorm, done, no need to revisit that decision tree. For Golang, I stayed with Echo, I only need it to handle the webserver/api side of things, I build the rest myself, done, no need to explore all the other trends. If I revisit something, it might be 5 years down the line, likely the decision will just be to stay with current tools if they continue to work as expected.
It's interesting how perceptions of things change in different cultures. I remember an Australian colleague who used this term in a casual context among our other Texan coworkers. The Texans were quite surprised, and almost aghast. When asked later, they said that the term was demeaning, despite no one being offended in the slightest, and they didn't really seem to understand how context changes the meaning of a word, or how to pick up on context clues.
>We're all greedy by default.

That is a pretty bleak view of human nature. Maybe try reading "Human kind" by Rutger Bregman for a counter view.

I think we are highly social creatures who care a lot about our status. If society looks up to people having a garage full of super cars as 'successful', then that is something to aspire to. If society looks down on these people as greedy and taking more than their fair share of the world's resources, then it isn't something to aspire to. I hope society soon changes to the latter attitude, for the sake of our children.
