Pretty cool theory, and I really appreciate how it champions the idea of startups seeing tight budgets as a good thing.

Although, the 'One Round Wonder' is kind of like the startup world's unicorn – much desired but pretty rare. I mean, what founder would not want to raise once and never need to raise again because their startup is so successful? It's a lovely thought, but as the author points out, it's not exactly what happens in the real world. Even with a popular product and a market blooming like a spring onion, you might still need to raise again or even raise having never raised before.

I also think that bootstrapped businesses versus those startups 'needing' $100K to $5M for a pre-seed round are like different species in the startup ecosystem. Bootstrappers aren't necessarily gunning to be the next headline-grabbing unicorn. They're more like the scrappy alley cats, making the most out of every scrap, which somehow keeps them agile and inventive. Ever notice how some startups after raising get a bit, let's say, 'comfy' after a big early funding round? It's like they swap their running shoes for slippers.

Funding can be a blessing or a curse.
It's not necessarily all that different in the US. I often respond honestly when asked (if I'm not focused on other things), and similarly, I often get honest responses too (eg store cashiers on a slow day).

Just because they're saying "I'm alright" instead of pouring their heart out about how they had one customer earlier who caused a lot of trouble, doesn't mean that they aren't being honest.

Because your resume is better?

You really saving time by filtering those to whom it's important. Those who contact you would mind less about those missing months.

Yes, when you need every possible contact, you might be interested to approach things differently, but the question isn't how to match best the screening algorithms. And it's very sad thing to have to explain those months.
You're not going to be able to send any useful screen contents over a usb 2 cable.

The outdated Display Port 1.0 can send up to 10.8Gbit/s, and the even older USB 2.0 could only send 480Mbit/s.

That'd let a raw 800x600 image per frame come through.

It'd be better just to stream over wifi.

Right, they are only good because the original GE has nothing to do with them now.
Then you stopped before it got interesting.
Markets aren’t efficient like that though. In theory they’re supposed to be, but we’ve had wave after wave of “innovation” that’s the same shit with different paint.

Take a car, replace all the perfectly good knobs with touch screens you won’t be able to replace in 5 years. Innovation! Massive conglomerates control the internet and feed you expertly tuned rage engagement. Innovation! Smart home lights that stop working when the servers go offline. Innovation!

On and on. If the markets were rational and efficient NFTs wouldn’t have even started. Crypto wouldn’t be a thing. Printers that refuse to print black because you’re out of cyan wouldn’t exist.

Markets blow and aren’t really maximizing productive anything directly. Tangentially, occasionally, when they’re not causing cost savings that cause doors to blow off of planes to save money. Seems tenuous at best.

This is probably the best option. I can't find it now, but in 2020 on either Slashdot.org or here, there was a project trying to transcribe hundreds or thousands of old British rainfall records.

The researchers made digital scans and posted the images online and had random users around the world transcribe them. They didn't care if a user did one or hundreds. I did about 20-50 before they were finished. What would have taken a paid team years was completed in only a week.

Does anyone know a link to the article that announced it?
> Also, I have not found a flashcard program that lets you make cards as fast as Supermemo. With Supermemo, you paste in a chunk of text (ctrl-n), highlight a word you want to make cloze deletion from, and press alt-x.

In Mochi it's mostly the same. Press n (new card), ctrl-v (paste text), select word, ctrl-l (make cloze), ctrl-[n] (where n is 0-9) to create a cloze group. Each cloze group will have its own "card".

Starbucks is a terrible example. That's like claiming the Costco membership makes the Costco retail business the auxillary. Or that Kroger/CVS/Walgreens membership/rewards cards do the same for those retail businesses (when in fact all they do is drive higher rates of return visits and higher sales).

The Starbucks business remains almost entirely their retail service business.

Why not? Development is development.

If I build a new assembly building for a new product, that roof is going to be mainstream, long lasting, cheap as I can get it, and billed to “development” because that’s exactly what it is.

You can say the same standing up a CD/CI infrastructure, writing unit tests, mundane documentation and validation processes. It’s all development, getting stuff into production and into the market.

Csirac - The First Computer in Australia (2006)
I worked at GE for a bit when I was in college right at the end of Jack Welsh's tenure. The bizarre culture blew my mind and in a big way steered me away from pursuing a career at big businesses.

It was at the height of the 6 sigma management craze. I had 8 managers between me and the CEO. All of them were pitted against each other in a race to climb the corporate ladder. Internal competition wasn't the fundamental problem. It was how it created a culture of backstabbing in order to hit KPI targets. Managers would intentionally withhold important information from each other or hold back projects just to make their own quarterly reports look good. The general idea was you did a 2 year run at GE, climb as quickly as possible, then leave to pursue a consultant career teaching other companies the GE system of management.

The culture was driven from the top down by Jack. It looked good on paper but was eating away at the company's longevity.

The pinnacle example of the corrosive culture was when a female manager sent one of my female coworkers home because she wasn't wearing pantyhose. She pulled her into her office to explain how GE is a "dog-eat-dog" world, and women in particular need to act and dress a certain way to get ahead. And she wasn't wrong. Everyone was hyper focused on conforming to "the culture" driven ultimately by the quarterly reports, at the expense of all else. It was surreal with many parallels to a personality cult with Jack at the top.

Strangely, I enjoyed working there and seeing how the sausage got made. But OMG, if GE didn't fail, I would have lost my faith in true meritocracy... not to mention a bit of humanity.
Isn't that the actual function of (big-brand) consultants? They roam from company to company, sharing current "best" practices, and tout that as one of the advantages of hiring consultants.
https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 has a theme for GTK+4 with classic widgets, they work quite well w/ the new "responsive" mobile-friendly apps. Unfortunately you'll need to replace your GTK+ user config outright to use it because the new version has no support for themes.
It doesn't need to be inefficient, it depends on the implementation. Immediate mode is describing the API and usage, you can implement it such that it's retained mode behind the scenes, or only redrawing when necessary, etc.

I've written an immediate mode GUI for my projects and it's fine for performance. I've written a music player for instance which uses a negligible amount of CPU, it uses slightly more resources than Clementine, my previous music player.
I’ve often wondered if late if rather than a “wet wall”, if houses should have a “hot wall”. Could I run a thermal loop past the fridge and a couple other appliances and either shunt it outside in the summer or distribute it around the house.
I hope this works out. I’ve done mushrooms a dozen times about a decade ago in my 20s. It was an amazing time every single time except the very last time I did it and it was an absolute nightmare since I was awaiting some bad news. Haven’t done them since and I don’t think I had any lasting effects. Always have a sitter and make sure you’re in a comfortable place and a stable mindset before you do them.
This has been the case for me. I know that I will have to force myself to use AI, because at present it slows me down.

i tire of IM vs retained discussions. the difference is academic up-to tools and code-gen in my experience. you can make one with the other up-to a point of usability. the classic point of split i find is if a UI designer wants to insert intermediate "for-show" elements, e.g. for animation. in that space imgui is, in practice, just going to disable your ui designers vs a retained mode solution using well established tools for defining and animating ui in standard ways. sure you can undo that problem, but thats code work, code work that blocks your ui people from doing their job until its done, and more points of failure for bugs to creep in...

the arguments i hear about debuggability seem brain-dead, but on reflection that might be the utility here. "make things easier to debug, shittier programmers can do work"... and that is not to be taken lightly or dismissively when it has real world weight.

retained mode most often exists in the backend, e.g. Win32, although some of it may use IM style interfaces, e.g. MessageBox, and so a lot of im gui tools will still use something retained under the hood, and have to go to some lengths to be able to identify "dynamically created" things. yes it can be worked around, but its another headache and bug vector...

ive honestly never seen IM GUI as a great approach, most often i implement it due to demand, and with some frustration at the brain dead arguments levelled for it. it solves a problem of programmer burden, which is not that useful in real world projects in my experience, and since the interfaces are interchangeable, its not really a fundamental decision to be making either until someone else forces it.

EDIT: to be clear, imagine trying to debug your data-defined if-statement. really think it through and implement it.
I’m pretty sure the legislation accounts for that kind of behavior. You’re not going to be allowed to create extra warnings based on which vector the application is delivered.

After posting this comment I then decided to look into it (in my usual way) and just looking for homemade brown rice onigiri what I found was that at least the couple of recipes I looked at used short grain brown rice (which I did not even realize existed) and/or recommended using more water than usual.

That's obviously intended as being lackluster. So I don't get how anyone could possibly be confused by this. It's quite plain English.
Gee... Let me forward that request to our QA depart... Oh. Oops.
I don't think I've ever been in a company that's used any Agile practice in an iterative fashion, or that's in any way thoughtful about structuring dev work. Managers adopt it as an arbitrary template for more compressed work, regardless of how well it fits into 2 weeks or 1-day standup cycles, then usually the same template permeates every other team, making it impossible to design a schedule that's appropriate out-of-sync with any other department or team. So I reduce the scope of my work to what can fit into 2 weeks and that I could have something tangible to speak about every single day, and there's no real feedback cycle engaged without a ton of friction and a raised eyebrow. I have a hard time believing that anything has ever shipped because the team chose Agile; any success determined only by deadlines, budget, and periodic (real) feedback cycles.

Some additional reasons for the rivalry between East and West are language and demography.

The dialects of Japanese spoken in Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, etc. are distinct and different from both the colloquial Japanese spoken in Tokyo and the standard language that is taught in schools and used in broadcasting. A person from Osaka who visits Tokyo is immediately identified by their accent and vocabulary. This makes people very aware of where they and others come from within Japan.

Also, Tokyo is similar to cities like New York and London. While there are people who have lived in Tokyo their whole lives and whose ancestors also lived in Tokyo, since the 19th century the city has drawn waves of immigrants from throughout Japan. This makes it something of a melting pot for ethnic Japanese. While Osaka has also drawn outsiders, it has a larger core of people who have lived there for generations. This creates a sense of loyalty and attachment to the home area and to the food eaten there.

That localism is amplified by the mass media. A popular topic on television quiz shows is differences in food, speech, and behavior between eastern and western Japan.

taxes. the way that R&D is measured is very tied to the tax code in countries. If R&D is economically promoted (historically the USA has invested much more money into R&D than other nations per capita because other nations tend to favour tax credits as opposed to direct investment - which seems like it opens the door for foreign investment to control a large percentage early in a startups life in exchange for tax credits after investment has dropped into their borders)
"atrocities" is a loaded term. There is a war going on, war is brutal and in war civilians suffer and die, which is horrible and regrettable. But you can't look at this situation and treat it as if out of thin air, for no reason at all, Israel decided to just commit atrocities.

No, what is happening is the following: Hamas is a 30,000 strong organization that has support of Iran which has as its main purpose and reason for existence, destruction of Israel and murder of Israelis.

It has been firing thousands of rockets into Israel for 17 years and on October 7th they attacked, broke through border defenses and killed 1200 Israelis. And subsequently explicitly vowed to repeat this again and again. In this situation Israel simply has no choice but to fight this group to the death.

That is the backdrop in which civilian deaths are happening. You cant just deny this backdrop or analyze the situation as if it doesn't exist.

It's an actual war, a war between two parties. It's bizarre to say that in a war which involves two actors and which Israel did not start, that it bears 100% of responsiblity for civilian casualties. You can't ignore the fact that Hamas embeds itself in civilian population or that Hamas and Islamic Jihad fire rockets at Israel, a decent percentage of which misfire and subsequently fall on Palestinian civilians and injure or kill them.

War is absolutely a horrible thing but you have to at least be willing to assign some of the responsibility for this war to Hamas, which actually started it on October 7th
