In some ways it's easier than ever before, and in others it's much harder than it was 10 or 15 years ago, depending on your industry. For software, the barriers to entry have been decimated. Modern frameworks, libraries, PAAS, and now generative AI etc massively boost dev productivity. It's viable to build an MVP as a solo dev in weeks or months that used to take years.

However, it's easier for everyone else too, and the market is now so flooded with B2B SAAS apps that it's extremely difficult to find an untargeted niche, or even one with incompetent competition, and it's even worse in the B2C space. All the low hanging fruit has been picked.

I started my own company Grizzly Bulls (https://grizzlybulls.com), an algotrading platform, two years ago and the experience has highlighted the difficulty of the non tech aspects of running the business -> marketing, sales, support, etc. It's highly niche and my indicators and models and therefor value prop are entirely unique and unclonable, but the hardest part is reaching new audience. As a freemium SAAS, we have very strong free to paid conversion and even lower premium churn so customers must be content with the product and results, but I've found it very difficult to grow the top of the funnel exposure.

Modern C++ is mostly syntactic sugar over older C++. If you manage to walk the happy path entirely within said syntax the code looks quite pretty. Lots of the language design is about having a nicer way to express common ideas.

If you stray from the happy path, the demons come for you. Or if your use case isn't met by the existing sugar. Or if you have a dependency which was written a couple of years ago that you need to reach into.

And naturally the project started from scratch today, only using the very nicest C++ features, will be legacy code written wrong in three or six years from now as the language moves on.

I wouldn't want to start a new project in C++ today but I'm not totally confident there's a better choice available.

If I see a photo online, I don't need to pay a license to see it, for my brain to process it.

This push for licensing works for the purposes of tranining is not german to the purposes that copyright sets to achieve. It slows down progress, makes it extremely more expensive for small players to partcipate.

I'm not sure if we have good enough systems in place, in terms of UX, for that to work.

Imagine every C-level exec who's opened a top-urgent ticket with IT because their printer doesn't work (they forgot to plug it in/forgot it needs paper/it's not a printer, it's a paper shredder) trying to operate some form of key exchange software securely, while people capable of pulling off this sort of scam are targeting them.

I don't think this is a problem that can be solved with technology.

I kinda saw the point a decade or two ago. As of today we have transparency mode where the person might actually hear you better with the buds on, then bone conduction where putting or removing them makes no sense, then ear cuff types etc.

It's just so much more complex that having someone remove whatever they're wearing feels like an anachronism. It can still be a nice gesture, but as it becomes devoid of meaning it's also to me signaling that we don't trust the other person to understand they have our attention (through eye contact, actual conversation etc) if we don't overdo it.
Yeah that's exactly the problem with the boogeyman. They inevitably enter a rebellious phase that could be mostly avoided if you maintained trust and communication.

Due to electrification, I imagine the average weight of a new car is increasing, which causes more damage. Previously non-severe crashes becomes severe crashes.

Due to increasingly pedestrian-unfriendly designs, like "grr I'm a bad boy" grills on trucks, crashes becomes more damaging to what they crash into. More, previously non-severe crashes becomes severe crashes.
I think we're at a point in the history of Western civilization where we should strive to guarantee non-painful survival for all our citizens. This doesn't necessarily mean comfort, but nobody who grew up legally in the United States should have to wonder about finding nutritious food; clean water; and a quiet, warm, and secure place to sleep. I only restrict this tentatively to citizens because I think these programs would fare better politically if limited to citizens.

People of all backgrounds will find that non-painful survival is still profoundly unfulfilling and will continue to innovate, create, work. I think the fear of succumbing to the elements in America is too real and that that fear is a massive drain on the economy and the spirit of our people.

Also variable byte length. The 36-bit PDP-6 and quite popular PDP-10 allowed you to address a byte (length from 1-36 bits) in memory; incrementing that address got you the next byte. Allowed for very efficient packed arrays of small values that could easily be used in assembly code.

These days automatic license plate readers can trivially be wired up to insurance databases. A cop car can just automatically know who is insured and who isn't just watching the traffic go. But it's hard enough to convince cops to pull over people with obviously bogus or expired paper tags.

The paper's back end systems must be a train wreck. We've got the opposite problem - bought a house where the previous occupant had a subscription and they can't seem to update the delivery. Every time it snows I have to find the paper before I snow blow the driveway. If we are ever gone, we end up with a pile of papers in our driveway. We've called, and can connect eventually to a human, which usually gets us a week of paused delivery. I wish I could rid myself of this litter.
Moderately interesting that the compile-N-times-keep-one is a C++ thing. C's inline makes you specify which translation unit exports the symbol so the compiler knows whether it is working with the canonical symbol or one that it can discard at will. Thus it can inline functions, but if it chooses not to, it doesn't have to optimise&codegen that function just to have the linker probably throw it away.
"combine this two and create the image I have in my mind"

OK, this is obviously a powerful tool for exploring ideas, but it doesn't look anything like a tool to exactly render your mind's-eye, and especially, logos, which are often abstract, and consist of interlocking ideas.

Current AI models do not seem capable of that logical 'click'; witness their difficulty with simple math. They 'fuzz' solutions.
I was thinking more grey area like abandoned and completely derelict building or vehicles. They may be an eyesore but nobody can or will do anything about it, and the act of painting them will in no way diminish their value. I'm just saying I see why some people might believe there's a discussion to be had about that.

Technically anything that is illegal is prohibited and yet we all find justifications for doing some of those things anyway. Sometimes because you believe the law is unjust, or because you believe some exceptions should be granted, etc.

"The policy is probably the de facto assumption that driving is a right: the United States has been rebuilt around the need to drive everywhere and the entire system tends to implicitly assume that anything which would impede someone from driving is unconscionable unless you get to the point of a serious collision or fatality."

They take away driver licenses all the time in the US though. DUIs being the most notable, but even getting enough tickets can result in losing your license, or having it suspended. I know at least a dozen people who lost their license at some point.

I no longer use header files when I can help it. They haven't made sense since 1980. I have a Python script that reads my C++ source and writes all the headers for me. C++ is so much nicer to write when you don't have to do the compiler's job for it.

Modules are supposed to be coming soon, and then I won't even need the script anymore.

>Adding a cheap, coarse prefilter in front will expand the lifespan to be very, very long, indeed. It won't impede airflow much either...

Can you direct me to a reference on this statement? Is there any guidance from 3M on employing an added filter or vacuuming them? I couldn't find any. How much longer a lifespan is "very, very long...? I did not know this and I would like to learn more.

I am always struck by how pitch black and opaque my filters are when I replace them at the prescribed 3-month intervals.

One more thing: my ancient oil furnace/heat pump only has the capacity to accept one air filter at a time: without rebuilding it, there is no way to add a prefilter.

I've been lucky enough to live in basically the same place since the '90s with almost all the same neighbours, and when I'm invited into the houses of my older neighbours almost all of them have the same appliances they've had since the early 2000s. Meanwhile if I go into the houses of more recently moved in neighbours or younger neighbours who had to restock their houses when they moved in, often times when I enter into their houses to talk I notice that there's a new appliance every few months, almost all replaced due to poor performance or failure.

I myself have repaired everything from toasters to microwaves in the last few years as things have aged in my house, and it got me a reputation that has encouraged family members to bring things to me to be fixed. There's a stark difference in how things are made post 2010, and the quality only gets worse post 2020. Often times the cost cutting goes so beyond making manufacturability easier that it makes it impossible to use whatever it is for it's intended purpose for more than a few times.

For example older smoke detectors have the boards on legs where the screws go through them, and for high quality ones the legs have threaded brass inserts so that if you tighten things down after replacing the battery you don't have a chance of stripping the threading. Newer ones the boards just float freely inside the case and are held in by snap clips which become brittle after just a couple of years and break easily, meaning you have to glue the board back in after replacing the battery. Key fobs and remotes often suffer the exact same problem of using plastic snap clips which will break the first time you have to pry the body open to replace the CR2032 battery inside. I've had to buy a new car key specifically because of that. Showerheads use soft compound plastics for the flow rings which break down unlike their older rubber variants, not only clogging some of the showerhead's openings but also failing to function as a flow ring and allowing the full force of the pipe's throughput. Freestanding lamps no longer route the cable through the bottom and attach it via a ring inside the body as a double insulator. Instead often times the cable is just glued into a hole in the side, and if you're lucky there's a rubber ring to cap the hole and act as an insulator. I've gotten shocked from cheap metal desk lamps because of this. Clocks these days are just single chips blobbed onto a cheap board with an induction motor powered by a single AAA battery and three plastic gears to move the hands. Most have as severe a drift as minutes per week which gets worse as the batteries lose charge. Old ones used batteries to periodically wind springs under tension or the 60Hz frequency of the electric grid which would move a gear system at a consistent ratio, keeping drift under a few seconds a month.

Survivorship bias may be real, but even cheap garbage from the '90s is far better built than anything I can buy now that isn't hand made.
Actually white feminism is a technical term when used in my comment referring to a certain type of egotistical blindness to the reality of others enabled by an extreme privilege and narrative making of one’s own.

Solnit has no clue what she’s talking about. She writes as if San Francisco was a bohemian paradise in 1980 when she moved there when in fact it was already considered very expensive (the NYT would write that it was a city for childless yuppies a few years after she arrived), the gays were displacing blacks and Latinos in the Filmore and elsewhere (it was losing more of black residents then than anytime in the 21st century), and it was the financial capital of the west coast.

Most importantly: all the so-called billionaires that clueless progressives think live in San Francisco and influence its politics actually live in Atherton and couldn’t care less. You wouldn’t get clowns like Hallinan and Daly winning elections if there was any meaningful moderate faction in local politics. Which is why they so greatly fear the establishment of one in recent years.

That was because the authorities did not understand how co-working spaces operated, and had concluded that the foreigners in there were employees of the space's owner.

They have since said that they will not repeat that, and have been true to their word so far.
My friend does export/import into SEA. You don’t just have to know who/when to bribe, you have to have an insider set up already. They used to have a guy in customs who would take a monthly payment to forward all her packages through without a second look. He disappeared and then trying to find the next one took months. Nothing was getting through customs, and showing up at the office they would deny any attempts to bribe. It is definitely a very coded art finding the right person, price, and parameters to get something set up like that.
