I guess the obsession to fix something that's wrong on the internet only applies to mistakes by other people, not one's own mistakes. Cuz really, it's the responsibility of other people to fix my mistakes.
Looks cool - if it’s similar to the pixlr tools it should be pretty useful, though very niche.

Maybe for the intro video have it be drawing a normal logo like most people would be doing instead of the weird space jellyfish.
> If you refuse and it's an actual emergency with the real CFO, it might be a career limiting move, if you don't get fired.

This is really the crux of it: senior management needs to take the lead setting up policies which are efficient enough not encourage people to try to bypass them and the culture that everyone in the company should feel comfortable telling the CEO “I’m not allowed to do that”. This is possible but it has to be actively cultivated.
I've worn a Garmin smart watch for the last two years, exclusively for activity and sleep tracking benefits. I was an Apple Watch wearer for years (pre-ordered a Series 1 way back when.)

The apple watch, for me, was too distracting. Too many notifications, too much temptation to glance at the watch during meetings, during dinner, etc. I ended up selling the latest one I had and going back to dumb watches for a while. I felt phantom notifications on my wrist for about two weeks after I got rid of the Apple Watch.

So, when I decided to get a Garmin, I bought the dumbest smart watch they had (Instinct Solar 2) that could do activity/GPS tracking and never turned on message notifications, etc. I did enable their Garmin Pay thing and linked it to a card, because I usually run without my phone, and figured it might be handy to be able to stop by a coffee shop or something.

Anyway, smart watches are terrible.
The Amiga was special and magical. There was never a computer so far advanced than anything else on the market, that existed before, or since. It took the IBM PC many years to catch up to the Amiga's power and some of its abilities. There are still powerful features of the Amiga hardware and software that systems today do not have and Amiga owners still pine for. It's something someone who never owned an Amiga or owned one but never understood its power, won't understand. The fact there are still so many Amiga fans keeping the community alive is a testament to how great the Amiga was and could have been if its life was not cut off by people who cared only for short-term gains and didn't appreciate what it was and what it could have been.
> I don't really care about quantified self sort of data,

Same here... I really don't understand why everyone cares about their heart rate or how many steps they've done today.... Like how is that helping my life? I might as well start measuring how many millimeters my fingernails grow each week and have a fingernail-growth-race...

After years of Qualcomm not updating its wearable chips and keeping them on 22nm, Samsung had exclusive first dibs access to its own 5nm chip.

A new version of Android was built that required newer chips, and that's what it took for Qualcomm to finally release something worth it.

The first Pixel Watch had a Samsung Exynos, Pixel Watch 2 a Qualcomm chipset.

That's something I hadn't thought of before. I suppose the part of the solution that addresses that would go hand-in-hand with TFA?
"Get Started" and/or "Try it yourself" redirects to sign-up page. No, thank you. Not interested.

Also, I took a screenshot of the "input" in the YT video and asked GPT to make a logo of it. Honestly it did 10x better job - https://pasteboard.co/4m3JLt5Oxzzy.png
This looks like a much worse Wolfenstein clone... No 3D as far as I see (all rooms are of the same height, the map is just a 2d maze), no textures on floors on ceilings. Not to mention much lower resolution than wolf3d - the graphics are barely legible.
I'm still not even sure wtf a data lake is.
How did you train your AI? Did you use ethically acquired data sources?
Maybe just the ECU of a car.
You don't remember AGA? It could do those resolutions and all versions of the Amiga chipsets had blazing pixel writes. The article even mentions this. You obviously didn't read the article and weren't in the Amiga community.
> So what we are missing now is a 500GB framework that can write the config file for the programming language that is writing a config file for the actual program I wish to use.

That exists since 1960. It's called LISP. The e.g. https://guix.gnu.org/ uses with great success, the Guile Scheme dialect of LISP, to be precise. And FYI the "framework" is:

$ ls --human-readable --size $(readlink $(which guile))
16K /gnu/store/1gd9nsy4cps8fnrd1avkc9l01l7ywiai-guile-3.0.9/bin/guile

Yes, only sixteen kilos, not gigas.
That makes total sense. The A500 was the most popular machine, with a 68000, 512K RAM. If your game required 1 meg, you'd lose a decent number of potential customers. (My A500, circa 1989, was souped up! 3 megs of RAM and a hard drive!)
One of the things I never understood is what do you do with information such as heart rate, sleep quality, total steps you made, and so on... What is the use of all that? One of my brothers asked me a few months ago if he should buy a smart watch and I told him "what for, what are you going to get from it?"... He then acknowledged that I was kind of right. Just suggested him to use an old casio watch and what he probably needed was just a simple chronometer. That's the only metric I have been using when going out for a run. I can't possibly see what's the benefit of other metrics offered by smartwatches. And they have the disadvantage that you need to regularly recharge them.
Imagine this scenario:

- You have an uncle with skin cancer. You bump into an oncologist at a party. You ask some technical questions. Annoying lady cuts in and starts talking about essential oils. Oncologist wanders off.

- You're an armchair general (a nerd who has never been in the army, but reads a lot), and you bump into a government intelligence analyst who studies the situation in Ukraine. It's a goldmine! Someone who read an article on Fox News cuts in and starts lecturing you on Putin. It's not even quite wrong, but it's so shallow it's pointless. The analyst wanders off.

That's basically how I read your intervention. I didn't ask you for free training or anything else. I asked rsync a question. You decided to butt into a conversation uninvited, without having anything to contribute, figured you knew more on the topic than a cloud storage provider, and proceeded to deliver a lecture at the level of what my child might learn in their grade school IT class.

I'm not claiming to be brilliant, but I don't get why people like you do that. I think that's a place you could provide a more interesting insight than about anything technical.

(And to answer your question: I wrote a question and not an essay; an extreme example is often just a concise way of phrasing something like this)

> Can you think of any command-line tool you might not use for 6 or 12mo but when you crack it open after a long time it is intuitive how to do what you need to?

Most of them that I do use; sed, awk, even perl. I don't bust them out often, but when I do most of what I need is pretty "front of mind".

I'm not asserting it's necessarily a tool issue vs a "me" issue, but jq, parallel, and pandoc (although pandoc the least of these) just don't "click" with me, and even if I use them multiple times a month I have to go back to previous commands, --help, or man pages routinely.
I'm facing the same issues!

My wife recently fought and unfortunately lost a battle with metastatic melanoma.

I would agree that the nivo/ipi combo isn’t poison, but it’s no joke, and given that disease like melanoma sprouts mets like crazy, and the side effects of the treatment can result in significant side effect to critical organs.

I think it’s fine to critique the FDA process, but I also think that a conservative approach to approvals is important, because ultimately bad outcomes will cause the pharmaceutical people to get more conservative internally - imo we’re better with a external entity putting the brakes on.

It’s a tough business. I’m uncomfortable with the “fuck it give me the newest whatever” attitude that you find in online forums. I’m an IT exec, my wife was a finance professional in healthcare. It was difficult for us to navigate the decisions and risks. Most people are not well equipped to make risk decisions, and dumping experimental consent and other decisions on people facing death with adequate support is a really vicious thing to do.

One thing that Molly felt deeply was that the hope she was able to have about beating the cancer was built on the shoulders of those before her. And folks even 10-15 years ago had no hope at all. We have a duty to honor the sacrifice made and be cognizant of what is real and what is not.

True, Quake 2 with Lithium mod I did play on Windows. Because I never got my winmodem (which I had in the beginning) working in DOS.

Never played orig. Diablo (I'm sure I'd have loved it).

Wacky Wheels. Tomb Raider. Settlers 2. Battle Isle 2, 3. Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Duke Nukem 3D. Most of these are from '96.

At some point DOS games also worked kind of OK in Windows. Though NT regressed on it.

But let me tell you this: I've never been a sucker for needing the latest and the greatest game at launch. So I lagged behind. And some games I could replay and replay.

And I came from OS/2. Which couldn't run DOS games well.

PS: Carmageddon I remember playing on MSDOS, too. But I also remember that (I guess Carmageddon 2?) was also optically quite nice on Windows with 3D / GPU.

Example: Germany’s mostly-public (Gesetzliche - more like, extremely strictly regulated) health insurance system putting a market-based cap on what private (more like, more lightly-regulated) insurance can cost and cover.

I was on the private system my first 13 years working in Germany. I was obligated (but didn’t try to fight) switch to public recently.

The change has overall been positive.
Of course I looked, I'm a big fan of (sanctioned) street art and was expecting to see 27 stories wonderfully engulfed in a creative dreamworld. Searching for "graffiti pieces" on your hint turned up some quite skillful pieces, nothing like 90+% of the tags in the article.

Does anyone consider the words "SOUP" written in blue letters and pink contour (top left title picture), or "AKDE" in all black bold letters (top right), or plain white lettered "LOSTKA" (second picture middle), or the absolute jumble of plain green text right next to it as anything other than low effort spraying of paint on a wall?

Nobody presumes some guy shouting in the park is a talented singer and the shouting is quality art. And someone kicking in your door wasn't actually a ballet dancer performing their art. Tagging your name or your crew on a wall is nothing different. People want their name on a wall because it makes them feel important or memorable. They are neither, and this "tag" art is in the same vein as someone drawing dicks on the side of library books. Low effort, low skill, just making the real artists look bad in the name of some short lived boost of ego and self-importance.

Some decades ago I organized in my adoptive home town several yearly "celebrations" that were a combination of book-fest, food-fest, and street-art-fest. As a thank you for organizing this I was always invited to put my own "art" on the walls. Due to my distinct lack of talent in this area it was limited to a tag-style signature in a corner of some real art. So I managed to do the same level (albeit slightly smaller scale) of street art as these taggers with no preparation and two left hands. It was a punchline against the incredible art the others put on there. Random internet examples [0].

Guess we could think of the Giza Pyramids as a counter-example. Plenty
of religious monuments got built on the bones of slaves.

But I wonder, factoring out the physical toil, whether future generations
might look at giant technological monoliths, maybe The Internet of 2100
and say;

"Those techies were unhappy slaves. they laboured in basements and
cubicles. They wrote code just to eat! It was obscenely inhuman."

Or maybe historians might pore through HN archives and say;

"Those who believed in the Great Singularity", devoted their lives
out of religious fervour. Many of them wrote code without being
paid, just because they had a vision. "

Or maybe there will be no trace of us. Anyway, history can tell us
facts about what happened, but maybe isn't so good at telling us what
went on the minds and dreams of people past.

With headers, every translation unit is some (probably large) amount of text spliced together then fed into the compiler front end. You parse <vector> and <string> over and over again. If headers are big or templates many, the time per translation unit get rather high.

With modules, as of the last time I looked, in order to compile some file, you must first compile the files it depends on, at least far enough to create a module file which is then depended on. Compiling a single translation unit with a bunch of already-existing module files should be faster than the equivalent with a lot of header files as you don't need to repeat the parsing.

This makes the individual compilations cheaper (win) but replaces independent work with a dependency graph traversal (loss).

It's totally obvious from the outside that the right solution is a compiler daemon. Integrate the build system with the compiler, persist state between separate file compilations. The C/C++ world really likes the independent batch compiler scheduled by cmake approach though so that arbitrarily constrains their design space.

It's fascinating that tooling choices from the early days (notably separate compilation is forced by insufficient memory) combined with the division of responsibility between compiler tooling vendors and the standards committee forces this sort of design.

> They deliberately (!) broke compatibility to the INI format

There is no "ini format" though? INI is a weak set of conventions that different programs parse in a completely different way, it's the opposite of standardization.

Reimbursement is the #1 barrier to bringing a novel therapy to market in the US for the company I'm working for. The technology is decades old and proven (the novel part is where it's being put in the body) - the clinical benefits are now proven.

But it's a battle to get US insurance to cover the therapy - we have about 3x more patients confirmed as clinically eligible than actually get the therapy. (That is to say, US insurance rejects ~75%+ of claims).

As a result, there is an entire segment of the org dedicated to reimbursement. We have a team of professional insurance-bullshit-waders - they call, they file claims, they follow up, and I hear them asking for Document Control Numbers and Call Reference Numbers.
There are 'Government Affairs' people who lobby with the VA and Medica{re, aid?}.

I'm not sure this is accurate. He shows the IIGS cursor as the Lisa "Color mode" cursor, for one thing.

He never mentions the NeXT environment, DPS and differences in DPI, their own black and white arrow cursor, and how that cursor actually came into Mac OS X, not the one from System 1 and onward.

Hmm.

Just curious whether Rust would have averted these issues?
There’s no surprise why drivers are worse to anyone paying attention around them. It’s TikTok and similar apps. There are stupid assholes in droves on the road doing 80 while scrolling through videos. If you keep an eye out you’ll start to notice the growing abundance of people doing this in the left lane of the interstate and relying on active lane keeping to keep them on the road.

It’s an epidemic of people addicted to their phones who won’t set it aside for 20 minutes to drive somewhere. It’s that simple. The knock-on effects is they enrage everyone else and create a generally more aggressive environment.
I think you're forgetting the cost parameter—obviously no provider can guarantee either reliability or stability
It’s never been easier. It’s basically as easy as filling out a simple form.

Entrepreneur by definition just means ”a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so.”

Then the real question begins: can you hack it as an entrepreneur? Can you grow, and harvest, enough to eat? Can you do it for others?

These questions define the heart of entrepreneurship — succeeding at being an entrepreneur — which is so very much more than simply being an entrepreneur.

Becoming an entrepreneur vs succeeding as one is, and do forgive the metaphor, like the difference between being a pig or a chicken at breakfast: the chicken is involved; the pig is committed.

This word has become dilute. What even does “greater than normal risk” even mean? What is success as an entrepreneurship. But as many on this forum can attest, the hammer and forge or entrepreneurship remains a crucible for testing yourself against the world as great as any other.

So file paperwork. It’s easier than it has ever been. And then join us in building something great, and find out for yourself.

There’s never been a better time to start a company! Except for yesterday.

Edit: not gpt. And it appears I’m unpopular with entrepreneurs who are vegetarians.

I'm looking to dive into challenging backend development tasks and embrace the latest in web technologies. I'm eager to apply my skills in complex, cloud-based systems, and I'm always up for learning new things to stay sharp in my field. I thrive in team-oriented environments where collaboration sparks innovation. While I have a good understanding in backend development, I'm also interested in opportunities that let me explore full stack development. Most importantly, I want to be part of projects that make a real difference, improving user experiences and streamlining business processes.

There is a class of tools that have high demand but also high supply - for example, online json formatters, or doc-to-pdf conversion tools. Occasionally very useful but not a daily tool, and not something to subscribe to etc. Suppliers often struggle to make money and more often than not don't make much, either with something like adwords or gray/black data brokering.

On the good side, AI logo design has strong demand, but I think it probably fits with the many other high but infrequently demanded tools that are (relatively) easy to construct by a modern programmer and deployed on a cheap VPS for fun. Maybe you wish to become a "secret weapon" for fiverr logo designers, who very well might pay a monthly subscription and consider it money well spent?
