That's a lovely way to try to frame the narrative, take that all the way through and every vacation home or place for sale/ready is "abandoned" and therefore morally acceptable for someone to take. Double plus good.

Don't let the fact the Oceanwide lot alone being worth $100m plus stop though, though. Definitely abandoned, no one likes money.
Btw, Outside California Many companies price cheaper if the insurance start date is X days after the purchase date. X is more than 1.
The DEC PDP-8 is a mini computer but because it was so small and inexpensive, it was often used as a personal computer. Micro computers were also personal computers, especially in the beginning, so perhaps there is some conflation there.
Why are there so many startups failing in 2024?
Hey YC Community,

What's with this myth that Microsoft never cared about UI/UX design? It's simply not true. They're especially not any better at it now than in the 90s and 00s. Modern designers don't put even a fraction of research into UI design than what Microsoft used to do.
Usually telling someone to 'just move' is pretty rude. People have reasons to stay in the places they're at. Public transit is not viable in California at all. It's impossible. As someone who did 'just move' (and to the PNW, where transit is shockingly better), I recognize that this is certainly not a viable option for most people.

I don't know Rust, but I've worked in blockchain for 6 years. Recruiters are always reaching out to me and most list Rust as a language.

In Ethereum (the domain I work in) there are lots of developer tools being written in Rust (Foundry, Build Bear). There is a new Eth node/client being developed in Rust, as well as a "wallet" browser extension. In Bitcoin I know Hiro, a Bitcoin L2, has lots of Rust, but I don't know which parts.
Dynamic linking doesn't require section headers, either, just a PT_DYNAMIC program header to refer to the .dynamic section (which in turn refers to .dynsym, .dynstr, .rela.dyn, .init_array, stc.).
Great post. Was a little worried this is gonna be salty fanboy retrospective, but it wasn't. Great mix of anecdotes and memories from growing up with that machine, and at the same time realistic about why the platform failed and why you didn't want it to be true.

> Spending that kind of money will get you a computer mostly useful for finding out why you don't want to run outdated ports of Linux software on an operating system without memory protection.

That actually made me LOL.
Great advice provided all jobs and fields pay the same. They do not.
Simple answer there: the countries where that suffering is being carried out by institutions armed and funded by my tax dollars.

As soon as the American military assets are pulled from the region, Israel is welcome to try their luck with their neighbors (I'm actually eager to see it at this point, considering they lost to Hezbollah alone in 2006). Until then, they should get used to us caring about what atrocities our tax dollars are funding.
Aren't those "sweats" being paid for with the salaries they've received? And on these salaries aren't taxes been collected by the government?
If the organizer and capital risk taker can't keep the results of his venture for himself and investors he won't do a thing. Without him no venture would exist and no taxes will be generated and no wealth would be created.

Neither apple nor google smartwatches have easy enoughUX for things I do often.

Eg. Someone Whatsapps me 'Can I get that bag back I left at your house", I want to reply with "Sure, I'll be home around 6pm".

I could get my phone out to reply. It will take about 10 seconds (1 to get phone out of pocket, 1 for finger unlock, 1 to open the notification tray, 1 to tap the notification and wait while the tray slides closed and the keyboard slides up, 5 to type the message and hit send, 1 to return the phone to my pocket).

Or... I could use my watch with voice typing. But the watch still takes around 10 seconds when you deal with the fact I need to confirm the message and the voice typing is laggy and sometimes needs to be done twice.

Just fix the UX so common tasks can be done in 4 seconds or less and I'd use it. It should be a physical button I press and hold, say "reply saying I'll be home at 6pm", release the button, and it should automatically reply to the notification that just came in and should be all done within 4 seconds (3 seconds of speaking, 1 to lift the watch to the mouth and press the button).
> But you likely get hundreds of call to action from notifications every day

This line stood out to me. Do people really get this many? A few months ago I started an experiment to put my phone in permanent Do Not Disturb mode - only letting immediate family members in the whitelist. It's done wonders for my mental health.

How the hell do people manage even a fraction of hundreds of notifications a day? It sounds like literal torture to me.

From a security pov it doesn't make a difference though, the sandbox needs to be able to safely contain untrusted code, no matter if the code is riddled with memory bugs or not.
yeah, it is. the percentage of new C++ projects has plummeted, compared to modern options such as Rust or Go.

developers are sick and tired of the awful tooling and decades old issues with C++, that will likely never be fixed. I for one will never touch a C++ code base again if I can avoid it.
Yeah, says someone who doesn't live in Los Angeles.

The only character this kind of crap adds is the kind of shady character that makes me not want to walk around Downtown at night.

LA has been getting worse and worse. The Westside has been pretty much given over to drug addicts and the criminally insane. The Valley is rapidly suffering the same fate.

The only reason this sort of thing even exists is pure neglect, plain and simple. If your property doesn't mean enough to you to either finish it or sell it to someone who will, then maybe you have no business owning it in the first place. Wanna bet that this property is owned by Chinese interests that don't give two shits about this city?

Agreed, it depends on the use case. For some "more storage" is all that matters, for others you don't want to be bottlenecked on getting it into / out of the machine or through processing.
Perhaps it's a clickbait title, but while reading the article, it struck me that the obvious point is that the default choice tool is not the best in all situations; engineering is about tradeoffs. It's akin to saying why a machete didn't work for us when cutting bread.
Yea but unilaterally imposing your sense of aesthetic to everyone else ?

I do not find those graffiti attractive. It is not art, like a huge beautiful wall mural, it is rather the human equivalent of dogs peeing on trees to mark their territory.
Yep this was like a cheat code when I had to take notes from the computer and could write and scroll simultaneously.
Nielsen's usability heuristics, arguably his most impactful work, still hold up surprisingly well after more than 30 years. It's hard to understate the impact he has had on my own career, as well as the UX field as a whole (together with Don Norman, of course).

Also sobering to read how much of his career seems obvious in hindsight, but also was shaped so much by randomness and chance (such as taking not taking the job at Apple).

Imagine that you live in a civilization where for every billion watt we might get from the sun we only consume one watt. That's the kind of world we live in today.

Amen. That's the way.
I had a similar story once on an medical insurance coverage situation, which only resolved itself when I dug up the contact information of an employee at the insurance company from Google/LinkedIn and directly contacted the person.

Going through the official "process" was just handing me from one department to another until it went back to the original department, and the cycle started again.

I've never written C++ in professional capacity, what turns me off from learning is what I've heard and read about its vast complexity, e.g. you could meet 20 expert C++ developers and they'd all be using a different subset of the language. I don't want to spend more energy learning a language than I do actually solving the problem. Same reasoning turns me off from Rust, too.

I don't think I made my point clear. If tech is now cheap and useful, it has become boring. If you wait 5 years, it's not delayed gratification because you won't experience the fun of playing with new tech, because it's not new anymore.

The whole gratification part comes from playing with the bleeding edge. It comes with dreaming of what this tech could become.

I think your comment is attracting downvotes because unmuffled engine brakes are loud, and those signs are usually placed when people live near the road and find the noise obnoxious. I think it doesn't apply to trucks where the compression brake has a muffler.
Pretty much all bans against PEDs and doping are to protect the athletes. If you allow them then the winner is whoever pushes their body furthest without going over the point that kills them, and a lot of people end up going over.
Function definitions in headers are compiled and included in the object file, then all but one copy is discarded during linking. Reading and discarding all this stuff adds some time to the linking process, which is a noticeable fraction of total build time if you're only recompiling one source file.
> throught-provoking, good looking

It is conceptual yes but it's not exactly deep in it's thinking.

Good looking yes but isn't exactly provocative or beautiful in its aesthetics.

Banksy is friendly and harmless and non threatening. Easy to digest and understand and appreciate. Its very understandable why his works are so valued - they are good products to be consumed.

Graffiti is threatening, and is less easy to digest and understand. It's also less valued by the world. Arguably graffiti doesn't aim to be consumed as art or to be approved of by cities.

Personally I would rather not see either! But as the above outlines this would be for different reasons.
Older people/Children are not a problem. I've seen both using digital payments for a long time.

Unbanked people is more concerning, as unbanked people include political enemies of the state. The centralisation of power that digital payments allow is concerning.

Oh, yes, exceedingly so. I found it to be extraordinary[1]. It has been on the back of my mind to-read since late summer of 2019, where the recommendation came from a soft-spoken lecturer.

Have had similar experiences with UHC for some very expensive injectables. Fortunately, my doc’s back office handled the appeals process to get it approved. Keep in mind I am paying a higher premium for a PPO plan vs an HMO plan offered by employer.

Doc’s back office submitted 3-4 “appeals” to get it covered. Each review was reviewed by UHC personnel. Probably someone like this guy [1]

I fucking hate private insurance. It’s a useless middleman that is driving the costs of healthcare up. We can have the most advanced healthcare available but it’s largely inaccessible because of health insurance industry. They will make it as difficult as possible so you either give up or end up paying out of pocket.

I think it's a reasonable argument that because YouTube have deigned to not support this device with a first party app that they are indeed adding "significant independent value or functionality that improves users' interactions with YouTube" with this program?

Specifically this appears to offer a better experience than what YouTube choose to offer.

The protests are a red herring. It's the cops not wanting to be charged with murder so they just make less traffic stops.
I couldn't find a single specialist who were taking new patients within 100 miles for my chronic condition when it was first diagnosed.

This sort of thing depends heavily on where you live, what your insurance coverage is, and the specific condition you're seeking care for.
I find it interesting that you are claiming to have known all of this all but your original proposal was “plugging a 20TB HDD into a RaspberryPI, tossing it on a high speed connection (and charging for transfer), and getting 6x annual returns”.

If I was asking someone else for free training, I’d want my question to accurately reflect my starting knowledge and willingness to do my own homework.
+1. I think platform-specific software architecture should be lifted into the build system rather than in the code. This is straightforward with CMake, Meson, Build2, etc. `#ifdef` is a very bad idea and tends to make for leaky abstractions. It litters the code with platform selection and platform-specific behaviour that should ideally be abstracted away, e.g. things like `CreateProcess` vs `fork(); exec();`.

With C++20 named modules, this is made even easier, and there is no need to even have an `app/platform.h`. Programmers can literally copy-paste the function declarations into different files, and just select the correct module interface at configure time, and just write

import app;

Again, most new-ish build systems support this too.
Don't think you can speak for all city residents. I've lived in DTLA for eight years, across the street from another abandoned building. The whole time it's been graffitied from floor to roof.

Like OP, I enjoy the artwork just outside my window.
Driving risk is in a large part driving by driving behavior which is a characteristic that is under control of the individual.

Monitoring that directly and pricing on it is far more fair than pricing on correlated hard to change attributes like being male or being young or being poor (credit score)

Also it’s a lot creepier for companies to run a file on people and get all that and more info sent over rather than just getting sent over how the person drives.

Stanley Made Reusable Cups Huge. Now It Has to Make Them Sustainable
I think I'd rather have neither.
Current B2B software founder here:

1. Customers all have a singular convergent goal to 'get efficient'. The only thing better than software which can reduce jobs, is having less software.

2. That is happening in all companies, so whatever type of software you are selling it becoming more difficult. Doesn't matter if former PMF existed.

3. Some of the digital boom during Covid (e.g. ecommerce) that floated so many startups is running backwards. Wealthy consumers mostly spending money in person. So e-commerce went from insane growth to slow growth, etc.

Those are the three things we've seen but really they apply to any B2B startup.

It's actually normal in science to have a back-and-forth of positive, negative, and neutral studies about any given topic.

> and when they don't reimburse within 30 days file in small claims court

The very nature of having to be adversarial and “guard up” on everything is what exhausts people and sours a culture. It’s also inaccessible to many who are already exhausted and just don’t have another manual process and battle in them.

It feels foreign only for a little bit. I'm right-handed but started developing RSI in my right wrist from using the mouse with that hand, so I've been using my left hand for over a decade now and no issues. The brain is very adaptable. For instance, we very quickly adapt to seeing the world upside down:

I completely agree with you. If a billboard company puts up a billboard against the property owner's will and then claims they can't take it down because it's their preferred form of art, and it's really truly their right to place billboards wherever they want, I believe the company should be dissolved, its executives jailed, and the proceeds of the asset sale distributed to those wronged.

Now lets apply the same standard to graffiti.
Well. The paragraph below really comes at a good time,

>> Emotion cannot be separate from work. It has to be a part of it. When working, you’re expressing yourself. You express beliefs, opinions, and strategies, world views. You cannot detach yourself completely from work. I doubt that you ever should.

because 2 days ago I had a discussion with the owner of the company I work for (and, therefore, my boss), where I told him that we are going through a bizarre moment and that one of our colleagues was in pieces when talking to me.

He asked if that affected me, and I said that obviously it does, it's a person suffering, a person I like and who delivers a lot of value to the company.

He replied saying: "Well, it shouldn't, only our family should affect us in that aspect."

Then, finally, I understood what these people really think. They use us just to achieve their goals, the whole idea of team/squad is, in the end, a big fallacy.
This is the best measure I've found:
