Good set of questions, and thanks for the feedback. Currently updating the website to add this stuff.

Comments/answers to questions in order:

1. Yes, finding a single resistor is easy. Part solving is more about making parametric circuits possible. (like a buck regulator that can configure itself on SS, output voltage). There you need to calculate values from parameters and then go find a part you can actually buy. Doing that manually is less magical of an experience.

2. Yes - some example code here (have not documented yet, apologies) https://github.com/JITx-Inc/jitx-cookbook/blob/main/regulato...

3. Our customers are professional EEs doing really complex work (e.g. many 30Ghz SERDES), and our website is drastically out of date. Will update design on site soon - this post was some guy submitting our landing page to HN. I'm trying to keep up!

4. Yes, this works already. Was very hard to do on the product side, design code was relatively simple. DDR3 example here - https://youtu.be/bw4KxhV-d8g

5. Physical constraints are imported or generated - works quite well to automatically sync electromechanicals. Mutliple 3D models including STEP can be added to parts, again I need to update the website.
Google itself is a superapp at this point as you only have one account. But to answer your question, I think it’s because of interoperability issues. Why can’t my calendar services message me? Or why can’t I quickly create an event inside a chat? If you remember PDAs, they fell under the definition of one ecosystem to manage your communication and time, but now you have several services that refuses to talk to each other. One of the core strength of Apple is that kind of integration. It’s not that you want one company managing it all, you just want an integrated app ecosystem.
I don't believe this is correct - there's no such thing as "speaking tree-sitter." Every tree-sitter parser emits a different concrete syntax tree, not a standard abstract syntax tree.

LSP truly solves the M editors to N languages needing M * N many integrations by using a standard interface for a query oriented compiler. Tree sitter doesn't solve this problem, it just makes it way easier to write N many integrations for your editor/tool.
I use an extension called histre, https://histre.com/ for annotation and keeping up with _notes_ / _thoughts_ inline. I found that using tools like Fermat's Library, which provides side bar annotation, histre for inline highlight, annotation and multi-references, and ChatGPT to understand complex terms, all helped with understand recent papers. Even a medical journal paper, https://senthil.learntosolveit.com/posts/2023/10/21/medical-... for me, in one instance.
Thanks! It's http://smaller.fish. I have a subscribe form at the bottom which I only use for new post announcements (which, as you can see, are pretty infrequent :)).
We do have "Super Apps" in the Western world. They're called "web browsers."

Note that Apple doesn't allow alternative web browsers on iOS, so Safari/WebKit is the only Super App allowed on iOS.

https://open-web-advocacy.org/apple-browser-ban/

> When you download Chrome, Firefox or any other browser that isn't Safari on an Apple device, that browser is forced to use Safari's rendering engine WebKit. Chrome normally uses Chromium, and Firefox Gecko. However, Apple will not allow those browsers to use their own engines. Without the ability to use their own engines, those browsers are unable to bring you their latest and greatest features, and can only go so far as whatever WebKit has added.
How can it be blamed to negligence? It's not like these disincentives and dangerous gotchas are not obvious when these rules are written?
It's an interesting perspective, but as I understand this case, the case is not interested in a developer's bargaining power against their distributor. The case is interested in the impact on consumers (fewer choices, higher prices). There's certainly no argument to make that consumers lack a variety of apps and app features.

I care about you as a developer, but I'm not sure this case does. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong.
> outsourcing to contractors, effectively picking winners in a "market" to give monopoly status

In principle this is supposed to be a competitive bidding process, and then the winner is chosen by the most competitive bid rather than the government. In practice the process is corrupt and regulatory barriers are created to prevent smaller companies from submitting bids or project requirements are set such that only one company can satisfy them.

The problem here is corruption, which has nothing to do with whether the corrupting entity is a corporation. Public sector unions lobby for the same kind of labor-inefficient practices because they know that more jobs give them more members which give them more power, even (or especially) when the jobs are unnecessary or inefficient.

The advantage that existed pre-WWII is that neither large government contractors nor large public sector unions already existed in order to lobby for corrupt practices and their continued existence, so the government could just pay someone to do work and then have them to return to the private sector when the work is done. But WWII created such a large apparatus dependent on taxpayer revenue that it had enough lobbying power to sustain its continued existence, and now it needs to be disassembled before we can have nice things again.

But probably the best way to do it is under anti-corruption. You still want roads and ships to be built, but if you could get the corruption out of the bidding process then they'd be built by smaller and less consolidated companies with less individual lobbying power, and then you could address efficiency issues without having to fight a multi-billion dollar corporation or huge public sector union because that inefficiency is their profit margin/job. Another possibility would be anti-trust -- break the big government contractors up.
i wrote a different reply initially but i think we agree after all, and i misinterpreted your original post.
Its a bit easier to use letsencrypt on a remote host. In less than 5 minutes i can setup a remote host with domains and certificates attached to it. Localhost with certs and hostnames is always a pita. Thats why i always work on a remote box. For my local editors it doesnt matter. Just attach remote disks to my local machine.

Why would China buy from brokers when they have Tik-Tok?
There are tons of apps that offer end-to-end encrypted messaging between iOS and Android (and Windows, MacOS, Linux fwiw). Apple offers APIs to allow you to associate your contacts with their ID in those apps so you can easily message them or share photos and files as part of iOS. The thing they are accused of is that they provide a great experience for users in their ecosystem on top of that.
Vertical integration and competition are orthogonal. Vertical integration is when Apple improves upon Bluetooth with a proprietary enhancement to the standard. Competition is Pixel Buds advertising a similar feature set.
AirPods also drop audio quality severely when their mic is active, just as with Bluetooth. Apple hasn’t solved that in any way with some nefarious extension.
Are you Product Marketing or Content Marketing/Demand Gen?

First - recognize that there is a significant difference between the two.

Second - chat with peer PMMs, Field Marketers, Growth PMs, etc to get good tips and advice.

Finally, I recommend reading Monetizing Innovation [0] in order to understand the Packaging and Pricing portion of Product Marketing. For Content Marketing/Demand Gen, I found Hacking Growth to be useful, but honestly there are a number of YC and adjacent podcasts that are fairly useful for that.

Finally - if you feel you don't like the role or the space, make sure to let you CEO know ASAP and make a transition plan with them. In my younger days I burnt a bridge with a good friend when I became an inexperienced VP Marketing/Demand Gen at their startup.

What makes it the right choice in your opinion?
One thing I did that helped a ton was make a “flush” Postgres db branch (same db name just appending _flush to the name) and use that for tests on the code to reset the database state. Otherwise you have to mess around trying to make sure the tests of db resetting happen after all the other tests, and that can be flaky and wind up using hard coded delays or ordering tests, slows things way down.
Interesting. I really like Google Doc, Sheets, and Slides. Google keeps adding features, which I find to be very useful and innovative. I wish they updated Google Forms too. The only thing I am not a fan of is the AI features, which largely don't work for me.
Aws not offering it does indeed make it harder to adopt, especially if you have to have additional billing contracts with an additional business party, have to validate their certifications (soc2, etc), customer data sharing agreements, etc.

There’s a difference between developer popularity, and ability to actually use it in commercial product. If AWS provides a commercial alternative out of the box available within existing contracts and certifications, adopting that is low friction.
That’s Dell’s management problems. What I was referring to was the policy Microsoft had in the 90s of, say, telling Dell that they could license Windows for the XPS line at, say, $10/unit if it was on every device sold or list price if they offered a different OS. That was very effective at making it cost more not to use Windows and did exactly what they intended.
I agree with your assessment. A duplicate MAC address could cause a problem for one device, but it shouldn't have caused a full network outage.

Simply opening WireShark for a few minutes might have helped the poster identify their problem faster. Maybe you would observe the same frame transmitting again and again, maybe you would see corrupted frames, or maybe nothing at all.
I hope he has fresh ideas for moderation when reddit goes public

I can't wait for reddit to go public, it's going to generate a lot of drama

we are in the decade of internet moderation, I don't understand why the world doesn't care enough about this problem
Seems right - Renesas just acquired Altium after all. Varies a lot by customer.
Vue is the best framework I have ever used. I can't imagine why anyone would use anything else. Angular has gotta be the worst imho, perhaps Ember. There are big communities around these tools though so I guess the approach resonates with certain folks.
Why not use an app like WhatsApp?
> In lieu of this what is the problem?

You assertions are immaterial to the fact that they are breaking the law. Monopolies and monopolistic practices are flatly illegal.

You're also viewing this exclusively through the lens of the "consumer" experience while fully ignoring the effects on the "labor" and "supplier" market.

> The government seems to want to make it illegal to have a tight experience

Is there some evidence that a monopoly is absolutely required to have a "tight experience?"
Some communities move to discourse forums.
Agreed.

After the API thing, I stopped using for a few months, converting to Lemmy instead.

Then I got booted from Lemmy for not being communist enough, I started looking at Reddit again maybe once a day.

At first, I was so happy to see a lot of activity on my small subreddits that never had much activity before.

But after a few weeks I realized it's just bots basically rephrasing popular posts from the past. And bots rephrasing responses to those posts.

Where is the next Reddit? I miss it.
The actual effect is ostracism of green bubbles. You literally get kicked out of social circles and get peer-pressured into buying an iPhone.
Yea, "world" is often used in pretty drastically different senses, like we might mean an everett branch, the continuity of a fictional universe, or, as here, the experiential reality of a person or group of people. Their context.

I have little granular information about the economic and political policies of most of the world, and will not claim to. I can mostly only talk about the US, where I live, though to be fair, this article is about a US festival wherein US industries got booed. Also, while it's great that we have ended the most obvious forms of nominal discrimination against racial minorities, there are a lot of thinly-veiled ways in which discrimination is still rampant, and trends like the decline of labor power and the automation of various decisions actually exacerbate these
Yes, for $30. And they even have convenient control buttons.
The fee is paid by card issuers. It's 0.15% for cc and 0.5 pennies for debit cards. Card issuers take a large chunk of change in interchange fees, this is a tiny, tiny proportion of it. Even if they managed to pass the cost on (which they almost certainly cannot given the nature of that business), spread across it might be 0.00000x % increase in costs. And, it's quite likely to actually reduce costs for card issuers due to reduced fraud and reduced physical card issuance (those cards actually cost money to produce).
Not sure I get your point since I'm not super familiar with the Windows phone. If the argument is that the Windows phone was locked down and could only load software from a Microsoft store, then I'm glad it died. Same way I'm glad Internet Explorer as the default on Windows had government action taken against it. Let me use my machine for my code. I don't care if you are Apple or Microsoft or whoever. I do not care if you "own" your company, the fact is that if you sell me a device, I want to to own my device by running whatever I want.

Oh, this is delightful; so many things that I somehow never thought of and now I've got to go buy:) The only one that gives me pause - for all that I very much want it - is the power cable adapters; is that kind of "dumb" adapter quite safe? I wouldn't have necessarily expected ex. a thinkpad power cord to have the same volts/amps as a USB(-C) cable.
I’m sorry that me asking a question is so emotionally upsetting to you that it leads to you attempting to insult me. I’ll try not to ask anymore question about Microsoft the 3.19 trillion dollar company, Sony the 113 billion dollar company, and Nintendo the 10 billion dollar company. I hope my question didn’t hurt these mom and pop businesses. You also made me completely aware of the fact that these aren’t the big three players in the console market which is a pretty fair comparison to this situation. Thanks again for your wonderful contribution.
> What search term do people add to try to bypass genAI content farms? Reddit.

I suspect that if reddit loses its more bespoke content, adding 'reddit' to searches will be far less useful. However, even if not, I think those days are numbered as AI becomes more useful and more integrated into search; and as it replaces traditional search.
iPhone has a 55-60% market share in the US & Canada. So Id be pretty happy with saying they have the 'dominant position' in the North American mobile market.

Seems it would have costed you a lot less if Apple just didn't arbitrarily block that person in the first place.
Playing Super Mario induces structural brain plasticity
> Longest-running example is Apple Maps displaying mapping on the lockscreen and having special bespoke turn-by-turn notifications, using a private API to which no other navigation app has access to.

This is a huge one! I love this feature, but really would like to see it shared with Google and Waze.
That seems like a pretty extreme solution to that problem.
Matt Stoller and Lina Khan run in the same circles so, yes, probably what he writes is a reasonable proxy for what she thinks.
It's not feasible to use an old iPhone forever, I tried. If the required app updates don't get you, the carrier will.

The big competitors like Samsung removed the jack too once they started selling their own wireless earbuds. They realized they could use Apple's strategy too.

No, developers aren't responsible for infrastructure. Most large enterprises have separate specialized positions for sysadmin, networking, storage, firewalls, etc.
If you think computers get a special opt out from anti-trust checkbox, you should work for the Trump people.
> Are you saying you’d prefer a world where innovation was held from the market for almost a decade while standards caught up and made them available to everyone and every product simultaneously?

Not really, I don't particularly have a problem with how Airpods went, except that Apple could have moved to standardize or at least open up fast pairing and instant switching, but they didn't.
iPhone SE battery life is shockingly poor versus the last 3 previous Androids I had which would last 2 days of light use.

It's probably my number one gripe with the SE. It runs flat when I need it. One time 4 hours walk because couldn't call a taxi (_luckily_ I hitched ride with a dodgy drug dealer instead - battery life matters!). Or staying overnight and not charging so needing to carefully manage power for day. Not everyone has a spare charger for iPhone.

Apple prioritise phone size/weight instead of battery life.

If I could buy a bigger internal battery (maybe needs to replace back of phone too), I would. Carrying a power bank is too bulky. I lose backpacks, and dislike the other alternatives.
> Would we have Tesla today without Musk? No. Would electric cars be ubiquitous if it was up to the likes of Ford, GM, Mercedes, Toyota to push the tech? No.

These may all be true, but that doesn't make Elon the founder of Tesla. As for the general sentiment of Elon-hate over the last few years, well, he has only himself to blame...

The reason people like to point this out is because it highlights the fact that Elon's fragile ego is not a new phenomenon. It was always there, even before he decided to go full crazy.
I don't really know how all this tech works, but when I bought my new Xiaomi buds, the moment I opened them my Android phone recognised I have new buds and asked me to pair them with one click. It was like magic. My understanding is that this would not be possible on an iphone, whereas this exact behavior works with Apple buds on an Apple phone.
>He must rewrite history to paint himself as the singular genius

But that's closer to the truth in this case than anything else.

It's not an exaggeration to say that all Musk gained when he joined Tesla seven months after the founding—bringing the first substantial amount of outside capital—was the brand name.
Can this somehow be made a filter option when booking a flight? Like in a browser extension?
My guess is even if iMessage bubbles were green, the sheer horribleness of SMS would still make communicating with Android a second class experience in a way everyone found frustrating. Sure RCS might make that better (I’m skeptical — standards support in the Android ecosystem is very inconsistent and varying in quality), but it’s a decade late. The basic argument is: Apple can’t make anything better for iPhone users until they can make it a standard for every mobile computing platform and competing service provider. About as absurd as it sounds.
Totally agreed. And does Apple has a "dominant position" in text messaging? They have around 60% of total phone market share [1], but that seems like a far cry from, say, 80% or 90%, which is what I'd consider "dominant."

Microsoft had over 90% market share of the world's personal computers in the 1990s [2], which I'd also consider dominant... and which did result in some similar antitrust lawsuits.

Regarding roads: nope!

Bicycles and bicyclists came first, then the better roads.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2011/aug/1...

> The hard, flat road surfaces we take for granted are relatively new. Asphalt surfaces weren't widespread until the 1930s. So, are motorists to thank for this smoothness?

> No. The improvement of roads was first lobbied for – and paid for – by cycling organisations.

Good roads are important to cycling, obviously, and to cycling becoming popular, but lack of smooth roads didn't impede the development of the bicycle. Rather, lack of bicycles impeded the development of smooth roads!
I have a thinkpad, and for some reason my wifi firmware crashes at random times, I can't fix it.

Other annoying problem: if I start my computer with the jack plugged in, unplugging it doesn't switch to speakers.
I think I agree with someone else in this thread. This reads like spin and fluff. We all make quality improvements when we use open source software because we run into our own issues. Were also on a hacker forum, you don't need to respond to me like were at some business partner meeting.

What do you want redis to do though as they are run out of business by amazon and the rest? Who pays for the rest of the developers?

It reads like Amazon is trying to bully their code supplier. The code was out there, and without negotiating Amazon decided on their own "one developer sending TLS upstream seems fair". I'm sure amazon will negotiate with Redis for some amount in the end. Or have the one developer write the drop in replacement if the code is only worth one persons time and some other random commits? Then maybe Amazon can even open source it with no restrictions?

Do you at least see and understand the perspective, that giant companies are making tons of money off software that is out there from smaller people. Giving back what is perceived not that much if anything?
Yes, basically non-Apple headphones are pointless for iPhone owners now. Doesn't matter how much Bose or anyone improves their tech, the port they relied upon got removed. Apple has locked together iPhones and headphones.
Why? Won't this result in vastly inferior products?
I’m mostly talking about iOS. Mac market share isn’t too huge, but iPhone market share in the US (where Apple Music exploded in user count immediately after) is.

Ordinarily I hate market interventions like this, but with iOS+Android being a duopoly, we don’t have a free market so special rules start to apply.
> t's 0.15% for cc and 0.5 pennies for debit cards.

So in other words, it's not 0%. Apple takes a cut.

Instead, it should be 0%.

That's how consumers would benefit. If it were 0%.
