Is it though? Before the iphone desktops were king. On desktops
- developers could use any programming language and there was a standard language that was well supported on pretty much all systems (C), so no need to learn 4 different language ecosystems to target different platforms if you arent a language nerd.
- you could release your software to users under any licence you see fit.
- Software SDK's billed with flat fee's instead of revenue sharing.
- Developers could develop in any environment and didn't have to depend on heavy, buggy IDE's.
- Cross compilation for other systems was common. You didn't need a system from the target vendor to build and distribute software (although for testing purposes it was still common).
- There weren't arbitrary rules on how you are allowed to monetize your software.

The developer experience since the release of mobile systems has dramatically decreased. To say that is not true is just naive. These electronic markets will form no matter what. If apple and google was wiped of the face of the earth today, new markets will form within months. Apple and Google act like the markets are their God given property but in reality they are piggy backing off their first mover's advantage.

Honestly, i feel sad to see your type of attitude on HackerNews.
> I would say the difference here is that no one is going to read it and see the code. As much as people fantasise about reading code, few actually do it and those that do are broadly wasting their time.

You'd be surprised how much this statement is wrong. A lot of people enjoy reading the code of the esoteric projects. Case in point, a bunch of HNers are upvoting this and commenting on it.

It's not for you, fine. You're not interested. Fine. Shrug and move on, instead of writing half a dozen posts to let the world know you personally don't care much for it.

PS: you say it's "wasting their time". I've been in software long enough to know that the people who are good at reading code make some of the best programmers on my teams. Friendly advice: Get good at reading code. Especially when it's clunky, weird and esoteric. It'll go a long way.
For completeness, there are languages that do not require stacks to implement (nor any workarounds that in practice emulate a stack). If you do not support explicit recursion, you don't need one. All variables can be statically allocated and only a single return address needs to be stored for each function, so you do not need a stack for return addresses either.

The most famous example is FORTRAN, until 1990 when they added RECURSIVE directive.
TIL, woops!

I use this for all my internal domains, haha. I guess this is why we need a proper tld like this.
I think it would be a much better UX for 90% of users. But it would require the store to exist from the start so it contains all/most of the content. That never happened on windows.
I have to give µWebSockets a try sometime soon.
> according to a report compiled by a law firm investigating the incident. The law firm, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, was hired by Cruise to determine whether its executives misled regulators

This is why lawyers are so expensive. Totally worth the money in this case to hire an "independent" auditor.
Another possibility is `.zz`, which technically can be a ccTLD but it's a user-assigned ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, and its last position makes extremely impossible for it to be repurposed as a valid code even in that setting. In comparison, some user-assigned codes like `XZ` are often used for temporary country codes so `.xz` would be less appropriate.

It seems that ICANN did consider this choice among others, but reject for the lack of meaningfulness:

> The qualitative assessment on the latter properties was performed in the six United Nations languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish). [...] Many candidate strings were deemed unsuitable due to their lack of meaningfulness. [...] In this evaluation, only two candidates emerged as broadly meeting the assessment criteria across the assessed languages. These were “INTERNAL” and “PRIVATE”. Some weaknesses were identified for both of these candidates. [...]

I wonder if this means that they only scored the highest among others and all candidate strings were indeed unsuitable, but that they had to pick one anyway. I'm not even sure that laypersons can relate `.internal` with the stuff for "internal" uses.

It really matters what are the provisional measures that were voted -
South Africa asked several measures that would stop the the war, allow independent parties to enter Gaza and arrest Israeli officials.
They got none of that.

What was asked from Israel is to continue its commitment to the genocide charter, update the court on aid Israel is letting into Gaza, and prosecute in Israeli courts people that call for genocide.
The reasonable fee if you ask me would be only to cover their own cost. So the same fee for Spotify and Netflix as for my own combined Todo/flappy bird clone app.

The laser cutters are usually also sold as a kit rather than assembled.

There are quite a few of these:

https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-cnc-router.html

Quality is all over the place and given the fact that they have a tool that creates backpressure (and that sometimes wants to 'climb' the workpiece depending on the direction of the cut) any kind of imperfection in the mechanism will immediately show up on the work product.

I posted a DIY one the other day that I think is pretty neat https://www.instructables.com/LOW-COST-DIY-500-CNC-MILL/ .

I don't think anything you buy of Ali or Amazon in this price range will ever be in 'it just works' territory, neither laser nor mill. They're barely functional and usually need quite a bit of tweaking to get them to work properly. And tbh I don't think the Shapeoko is that much better.

CNC milling is messy, you'll spend quite a bit of money in tooling and the work area is usually quite limited. If you want a larger machine and it still has to be affordable I'd shop around for an older industrial machine. It will be large and heavy but construction wise there isn't going to be anything small and lightweight that can begin to compete. If you're lucky you might even get a bunch of tooling with it.

I've driven on Mill Rd. plenty of times, and it actually is hard to see pedestrians who have a bad habit of walking around wearing all black at night because they don't want to use the crosswalks that may be 1/2 mile away. The glare from all the lights makes it hard to see for normal humans, too.

Part of the problem is that their safety driver was watching something on their phone and not actually watching out like they were supposed to. If they had actually been paying attention, that would've been avoidable.

Still, the automatic cars have a much better record with me than the human drivers do. For all that these few accidents were stupid and avoidable, I've seen normal humans doing things far dumber.
It does not. eSIM isn't made to help you, it's made to give control back to carrier and them money.
That's just motivated reasoning. The UN is multidisciplinary. If you have a better source, present it.

I find it to be coincidental to the general interest in mental health and the resulting wave of self-diagnoses. It has its positive sides - even I did eventually seek psychological help after going through all the resources available online - but I've also met people in real life who collected personality disorders like badges of honor. There's one couple I know who only formed a strong bond after she's convinced him that his family is toxic and he should go no contact with them, just as she did long time before that.

A million times this. Things seemed more broken than usual in Teams for me today like image attachments not working and such. I just figured it was Teams being Teams until someone informed me there was a service outage degrading things. That’s how low the bar is.
I guess using Expo app ?
When I got to a position where I started leading teams something I quickly realized is that I can't generalize about people. Everyone is different. We're all motivated by different things, and you have to account for that as a manager. Some people are motivated by lofty goals and values statements that companies write. Linking their work to a value statement the company has written definitely works. Other people just laugh if you try it.

The lesson is that universal statements like this are wrong. The mission just doesn't motivate everyone.

That said, I'm fairly sure the Asana one is trolling.

1. Non core jobs that don't need a lot of customization nor need to be done particularly well.

For example, I had to help a friend with a tax credit estimation function for their charity (they can't code and their current developer left much to be desired). I don't know jQuery. I haven't touched it since university. I pasted in the documentation from the jurisdiction's tax site and got a working solution in 12 seconds. Solution may be inefficient. It may not be clean code (was cleaner than what it replaced though). It doesn't matter. It took 12 seconds. That is an incredible value. I didn't even have to look up what a jQuery selector was, even though I had long forgotten. And yes, it got it correct. I know enough raw JS to know that.

2. Understanding API docs such as https://docsgpt.antimetal.com/. I am not the owner of this. I don't pay anything for this. I read about it here on Hacker News. It is fantastic.
Do you think there might be more functions to a mission other than to motivate employees with some grand narrative? Perhaps it could serve as a basis for alignment, potentially helping to write strategies, set goals and sometimes even take day-to-day decisions on all levels? I have certainly seen mission statements that are useful in this sense, not just on a company level, but on a level of platforms and individual teams. Personally, I find it much easier to work towards explicitly stated common goals.

I’d love to one day read the full story on how that one went so sideways.

There’s an outline of it here worth checking out https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/08/15/botched-cia-communicati...

As best as I can tell they had people designing their tradecraft who really did not properly understand how the internet works not because they are incompetent but because the agency mentality is so heavily focused on compartmentalisation (which is ironic because a lack of compartmentalisation across systems is what ultimately screwed them here) that it was considered to be good enough by people who weren’t in a position to make that call and bringing in further experts to validate it violated the “need to know” aspect.

I think that was a huge wake up call for those folks, when things go that badly they will end up rebuilding a lot of the people process and technology from the ground up.

But for what it’s worth some of the websites in question are still available on archive.org if I recall correctly.

But I don’t agree with the conclusion that the answer is use radio instead. I think a lot of things have changed in that world in the past 10-20 years and lots of things that were previously considered “best practice” suddenly became unambiguous signals that you were up to something that warrants a closer look.

For example: biometrics mostly killed the idea of operating undercover means traveling on a passport issued in a fake name. There’s a LOT of these changes but that’s an easy one that everyone intuitively understands.

I currently read through both PDF and EPUB formats, and I don't think PDF is that bad.
I think the advantage of PDF is that you can take notes like a paper book, and you can write directly on the document through software such as Goodnote on the iPad. However, PDF is indeed inconvenient to read on small-screen devices, and high-quality PDF files are too large. The PDF of a book may be as high as several hundred MB.
The advantage of the EPUB format is that it can adapt to more devices and the files are smaller. It is more troublesome to mark EPUB. Maybe new devices like Kindle Scribe can do it, but as far as my experience of reading EPUB on Kindle paperwhite and iPhone, I can only make some simple marks or record some text by typing.
I think PDF is closer to the experience of a paper book, but only if you use a screen no less than the size of a book. The EPUB format is more suitable for mobile electronic reading.
well, I meant unmindful as in trying to forget that to get to the point where you stand today you had to pass past some doors that you decided not to open. A child-like attitude towards discovery, free from preconceptions. Then, after discovery, we should ground ourselves and leverage from our adult experience.

An example from my own experience: an org leader proclaiming the need for "laser sharp focus". Amigo, you're running an organizational metrics p-value hacking campaign, which is by definition not a "focused" play.

That's very much not safe! I was at a resort in Eastern Europe over Christmas and on the other side of a lake someone had a rig like that.

I’d say this: It is very hard to beat the market consistently. It is even harder to statistically prove and convince yourself that our new strategy actually now beats the market. There are a lot of gotchas and caveats to watch out for when backtesting.

A clear mission statement can help to guide decision-making and keep the company focused on its goals. It can provide a framework for evaluating new initiatives and ensuring that they are aligned with the company's overall vision. Also a compelling mission statement can attract top talent who are aligned with the company's values and goals. This can be a significant advantage for startups competing for a limited pool of skilled workers.

This was clearly true for Google with its mission. There are so many other successful examples.

It's not just their optics. It looks that way to the rest of the world as well.

When the IDF kills (at least) two civilians to every combatant, and then drives many others out of their homes and into starvation, it really does make it look like Hamas is the only organization that will fight for them. And Hamas barely even does that (seeing as they are a terrorist organization that uses Palestinian civilians like sacrificial pawns), but they come far closer to it than any other organization in a position to do anything.

If we want Gazans to support an alternative to Hamas, then we need to come up with an alternative to Hamas that supports Gazans better than Hamas does. That should be pretty easy; it's a very low bar.

I’ve read the book under review and would recommend it.

Philosophy has always appealed to me but disappointed because it never seems to settle on answers. There’s a bit in the book where Kleene (I think?) is advising young academic philosophers to go into logic instead as at least there they’ll get answers.

Someone in the book describes philosophy’s truth value as less like scientific inquiry and more like poetry done in logical argument. That seemed like a potentially valuable way of looking at it.
