The biggest thing for me was spending too much time worrying about dating and women. The funny thing is, that all took care of itself when I would spend the least amount of time thinking about it.

Other things I could have done to give myself a better chance with a startup:

- Embed myself in the startup scene and network

- Think of opportunities in terms of business models instead of focusing on what sounds cool or useful to me at the moment

- Don't be too skeptical. If something looks dumb but people are excited about it, maybe you're the one that is dumb.

- When you're doing business with people, be confident and always think about what you want to get out of a negotiation before going in. This could be a formal business meeting, or an informal get together. People enter into negotiations all the time. Think about what you need, who can get it for you, and if the opportunity presents itself then ask for it. There have been many times where I had the opportunity to really help myself, but I was too preoccupied with helping the other person get what they need.

- Build yourself a reputation as someone who succeeds at getting big things done, and is fun to be around. That may sound dumb and obvious, but it's the reason LinkedIn looks the way it looks.
Nicolas M. Chaillan, Former U.S. Air Force and Space Force Chief Software Officer (CSO), has been running Ask Sage for a little over a year now. It's a very clever way to benefit from relationships and timing the market on Generative AI buzz. It's not that hard to see where this could go for Ask Sage.

I'm curious - since the individual stops are so relatively short, how do you manage to stay on top of it all? How do you consistently find short-term housing every 30-90 days at a reasonable price?

This model sounds pretty appealing to me as something to consider doing in the future, but I'm not sure on just how much hassle this would introduce.
This (a policy of charging some devs more/less than others) isn't Apple bribing devs to not compete with them, and it isn't a series of shady backroom deals. It's a relatively straightforward and transparent price discrimination scheme, and I have a hard time imagining why this would put Apple at risk of an unfavorable antitrust ruling if the complete lack of any alternate app stores didn't.

Where I imagine Apple could get into trouble is if they systematically turned a blind eye to commission-dodging by specific entities as part of a trade to ensure their market dominance. Unlike Google, though, I'm not even sure which entities Apple could bribe that would risk looking like a trust.
One tip: stick everything on a small platform with wheels and have a spot where there is an anchor embedded in the floor so you can fix a machine when you need to. The best kind of wheels are the retractable ones so when you set it down the machine is planted properly. I'm pretty space constrained here as well and this is my strategy for maximizing the use of the workspace.
As a user, if I go to buy something in an app and it asks me to punch in my credit card number or sign in to some payment processor instead of just the usual "double click to apple pay", there is a very high chance i will just change my mind.

The immediate problems are likely to be that they will lose the ability to sustain welfare for their non-productive population (the elderly, children, disabled, etc.). The long-term problems are likely to be that they will fail to protect their borders eventually since they can't field a sufficiently large fighting force.

But perhaps they have another path. I guess it's good to have someone else run that experiment. We can observe and duplicate or avoid.

> Other countries antagonize the US because of its military interventionism. If the US had lower military spending, other countries wouldn't feel the need to be aggressive.

You've conflated two different things here:

1. Military interventionism. Presumably the unjustified sort, like invading Iraq (and not the first time, when the US was pushing Iraq out of Kuwait).

2. Military spending.

These are totally different things. You can spend a lot on your military and not go on military adventures.
There's currently a 40% estate tax rate for amounts above the generous exemption. Are you suggesting a 100% inheritance tax on death? With no exemption?
The same laws say the user doesn't have to use first party payment methods for IAPs anymore and you can, of course, buy an iPhone without a bank account so it's very possible there will be no payment method on file and requiring one for the device to comply with local law would not fly. I think the article is right they might rely on the new location based service restriction. Even if you don't use location in your apps your phone can still know the location. Barring GNSS just connecting to a cellular network would be enough to know if it's in a region that needs to comply with this.
What military interventionism in Venezuela? The US applied sanctions when Maduro started suppressing democracy, sure, but that's not the same thing as airstrikes or invading. This sounds like goalpost moving, since we were talking specifically about military force.

The US has a shit history of intervening in Latin America from the 20th century, no argument there, but it's been several decades now at least since the US overthrow a democracy in that region.

Interestingly, there was another PID post earlier today and someone specifically commented on using a PID for camera tracking: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39011630#39016836

I am surprised to hear about a PD controller though. In my testing, a PI controller seemed to behave much better than a PD controller. In my research, it seemed a common strategy to drop the D-component completely but I did not see the suggestion to drop the I-component.
Thankfully our local dollar store has a pretty decent produce section. Dollar General. I'm aware that we have one of the better dollar generals out there. (Hillsboro KS)

I'm sure the environment is fine, it's just a question of economics. The comp for mere software engineers these days is more than the commander in chief gets paid. Usually what organizations like USDS try to do to attract coders is get them interested in a "tour of duty" where they rough it for a few years on a major general's salary before going back to their old jobs generating text, managing cat videos, and getting people to click on ads. It's a busted system.
Yeah, the amazement amongst people here on HN amazes me.

The district court was crystal clear about this in their judgment, which at the time caused quite some consternation.

The appellate court then affirmed the same and even clarified more clearly that it’s completely fine because it primarily is the mechanic Apple gets payment for the use of their IP and, secondly, their services that encompass more than just payment processing.

In fact, if you read the appellate judgment, the annoyance towards the district court is palpable.

The annoyance stems from the fact that the district court states in their judgment that alternative ways of collecting the commission aren’t worth considering and expanding on because of how onerous they are (retroactive audit, collection efforts, etc.) while at the same time causing exactly that by striking the anti-steering provision and opening the door to third-party payment providers.

The appellate court doesn’t go further than expressing annoyance between the lines because, ultimately, the district court didn’t err substantially enough for the appellate court to step in, which is ultimately the bar that needs to be met.
Appellate courts aren’t meant to relitigate cases, after all.
YMMV I guess :)
Then you will be pleased to learn that the US military takes an oath to the Constitution, not to whoever happens to be the current President. Exactly because the dangers of assholes assuming the Presidency isn't some kind of genius insight that you're the first person to ever consider.
> Took weeks building it. It took days to get bored with it.

That's my experience as well. A guy I met in a store had inherited an absolutely massive Rokal set, a lesser known brand so there wasn't a lot of documentation about how it all worked. He asked me to get it all working. The whole installation on 8 full sized sheets of plywood had been cut up to move it into his basement, they'd cut a temporary hole in the floor to move the sheets in but all the wiring had been cut and there was zero documentation. It took many months to figure it all out and to get it connected to the point where it would all work reliably. But once that was done I think I looked at it for 30 minutes before moving on to something more interesting. I loved working on the set itself though, especially because I kept finding new details that had previously eluded me (such as working traffic lights!).
I'm pretty skeptical "energy through the night" is financially viable for anyone. Whenever I've looked into it, the cost-per-kwh on a battery blows away any savings over the cost of just paying for off-peak electricity.

Which makes sense of course: if it didn't, then it would be more cost-effective for larger players to simply build grid batteries and arbitrage the power cost down to parity.

The only real value I've seen is when your selling your own battery capacity under grid-stabilization programs (where some other power company is managing virtual power plants). And I'm still fairly skeptical if that's even a sensible business model (i.e. how much real estate cost can you be saving versus the costs of installing distributed batteries as opposed to centralizing them?)
Is it enough to make you stop using Apple products? I’m considering it.
A lot of the time you could say that it's structured handwaving, but the structure gives you a number of benefits over regular handwaving ;)

Pretty quickly we can tell if we disagree about the whole framing of something (the overall model) or our priors are just very different.

The explicitness of priors is a big feature and when they're wildly different we can discuss / present evidence for those.

We can also see how much our priors matter in terms of outcome, i.e, what are the "load bearing beliefs" that lead us to make a certain prediction.

That's how you talk if, as an outsider, you don't want the perspective of an App Store developer. If your desire is just to rip on me for doing it to myself, then you don't need me here to do that; you can accomplish such denigration on your own, in the self-congratulatory, know-it-all fashion that you've been exhibiting.

Organizing masses of individual people around a shared goal against a powerful opponent is one of the hardest tasks in the world. For example, the majority of people in the United States hate both of the two major political parties, and lots of people say, "We should have a third party!", and there are indeed many minor party alternatives, but turning one of those minor parties into a viable alternative to the existing major parties is obviously extremely difficult. It's not that people don't want to, but the barriers to organization are massive and multifarious. Though everyone may have the same vague goal, the devil is in the details. And the costs of defection from the status quo can be significant; as small as they are now, third parties are still blamed as "spoilers" of elections.

"all the other"
some of this is correct

'naturally focuses all colors across visible spectrum to a same point' would be no dispersion, not 'abnormal dispersion'. abnormal dispersion (usually called anomalous dispersion) is when the refractive index increases with increasing wavelength, instead of decreasing as in normal dispersion

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)#Material_d...

if you had a material with no dispersion you could just make a lens out of it and avoid chromatic aberration, but since you don't, you need to use the dispersions of different materials to cancel it out in the way you describe

fluorite doesn't have anomalous dispersion in the visible spectrum, it just has low dispersion

canon has evidently successfully been scaling out camera-sized crystals of calcium fluoride since the 01960s. other companies have too actually; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorite says

> In the laboratory, calcium fluoride is commonly used as a window material for both infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths, since it is transparent in these regions (about 0.15 µm to 9 µm) and exhibits an extremely low change in refractive index with wavelength. Furthermore, the material is attacked by few reagents. At wavelengths as short as 157 nm, a common wavelength used for semiconductor stepper manufacture for integrated circuit lithography, the refractive index of calcium fluoride shows some non-linearity at high power densities, which has inhibited its use for this purpose. In the early years of the 21st century, the stepper market for calcium fluoride collapsed, and many large manufacturing facilities have been closed. Canon and other manufacturers have used synthetically grown crystals of calcium fluoride components in lenses to aid apochromatic design, and to reduce light dispersion. This use has largely been superseded by newer glasses and computer-aided design. As an infrared optical material, calcium fluoride is widely available and was sometimes known by the Eastman Kodak trademarked name "Irtran-3", although this designation is obsolete.

sodium, fluorite, calcium, and fluoride are not brand names or other proper nouns and thus should not be capitalized in english as they are in german
I'm probably oversimplifying, but Alaska + Hawaiian creates a larger regional competitor to e.g American, United, and Southwest on a more local scale where most of their routes are complimentary (the two weren't substantially competing; Alaska offers a handful of CONUS to Hawaii routes, whereas Hawaiian offers CONUS as well as international routes to/from Hawaii), whereas JetBlue acquiring Spirit consolidates nationwide low-cost carriers and reduces low-cost competition
I misread the merge date in the wiki. Hotspot merged into mainline in Java 1.3 in 2000. It was first released as a separate distributable.

That said, in the paper they didn't use sun's JVM they used gcj and their own modified version of gcj.

> We examined the performance of both our new Java implementation as well as standard gcj on a variety of Java applications.

So my point still stands, a lot as changed. The researches chose to use static compilation over a JIT or interpreter.

There's definitely both "established best practices" and many other legacy ways to do things on x86.

RISC-V is quite boring, majorly opting for well-proven approaches. And a lot of its technical value comes from doing just that.

Yet x86-64 and ARM would have a hard time justifying their complexity, when RISC-V achieves the same with simplicity, and matches or beats them on objective metrics[0].

Okay, but then that's an an argument subject to the critiques made upthread that you were initially trying to dismiss?

It is extremely common in performance sensitive code,

2) networking
3) buffers

> But further newer JVM additions like the enhanced for loop eliminate a ton of conditions
> The JVM is far more likely today to remove the bounds check all together than it ever was in 2004.

There are more comments in this thread that clarify further, but Java is very commonly unable to eliminate bounds checks. You can test all of these things yourself with a quick benchmark - don't take my word for it! The JIT is not as great at this as common rhetoric claims it is.
I don't know how that works in Yemen or Gaza. Do they have any networking infrastructure left?
I've had to use the D term recently in a self guided model rocket project.

When the rocket had an angle error it needed to point it's thrust to rotate itself back to 0. There is no built in stopping force that stops the rocket rotating when the thrust is not angled. So a D term was needed in order to take into account how fast the rotation was happening. When it was rotating to 0 degrees of error, it needed that d term to not overshoot. With the d term, the thrust would swing in the opposite direction to prevent it overshooting.
The second OpenAI stopped being a not for profit it opened itself up to the highest bidder namely the military industrial complex ... this danger motivated it's corporate structure which explicitly detailed it did not wish to be a pawn of big corporations

Yeah, it’s not quite the same.

On the other hand the tools are mostly very simple and highly standardized. The simple tools are applied to the problem through a combination of applied experience and constructed jigs. I guess the equivalent in the software world would be classic non-fat Unix as your base tools, and building your own libraries and toolkits as your jigs (no or very limited third party deps), while aggressively avoiding complexity. You’ll get reliability this way; of course, there are serious tradeoffs.

Don’t misunderstand me, though. I agree that the modern software treadmill is horrible and needs to be tamed.

＞ the idea that simply using a different payment processor would remove the entirety of the 30% commission was always a pipe dream

The idea wasn't to use third party processors as an argument to evade the fee, it was the other way round. Front and center Epic wanted to get rid of or strongly lower the fee, and as a consequence developers would probably have had to use other processors.

The judge shut this down by legitimizing Apple's 30%, which as a consequent allows Apple to collect that money however the dev processes their customers, third party PSP or not.
