Cool stuff, I've considered building something similar for my own needs. For me, I would never invest the time to learn and integrate something like this into my business processes if its not open source. But there is a large market of folks who don't care about that (obviously, as Salesforce isn't open source and does well enough), so you have a lot of potential.

I played with the demo for a couple of minutes- one thing I noticed was that to add a field, you have to go up to the drop down menu in the top right and select add field- I would expect to see an "add field" button below the (initially empty) list of fields on an object. Hotkeys would also be really nice at some point as you develop the app. Probably just really early in your development to refine these things.

You mention your path to success being a "modern UX" and I think that is great, if by "modern UX" you mean (at least in part- a major part) "much faster and more responsive than Salesforce". Maintaining the flexibility while also keeping it easy to use and fast is a triple combination of power.
> I think they deprecated the old keyboard shortcuts, had to set mine up fresh.

On my laptop the keyboard shortcuts magically restored themselves after I logged in and out of X11 and Wayland mode a few times. I'd try that on my desktop if I could get the UI for logging out to spawn :) (or the UI to configure the shortcuts)

> Have you tried setting them up from scratch?

I couldn't summon any UI to set them up (remember that there's no panels or desktop to click and that KDE applications in general have rendering issues that can render them unusable). I suspect it won't help though since when I log in I can see them blinking in and out of existence a few times before disappearing permanently, I assume crashing and restarting a few times before giving up on running.

> the default panel is great

I do have quite a bit of customizations on top of the default that I'd rather not lose, but I'll set them up again if I have to. After it looks like it will actually work that is.
Hendrick Could Bring 1k HP to Nascar 'Next Week' at No Cost, Kyle Larson Says
This is a large task list, and many of these things will require a lot of time and effort to implement properly. Especially given the language spread, where a different solution is often required for each language, you'll need to prioritize effectively to make effective positive change (not easy, but important).

Those changes should ideally make developers' jobs easier, but it should also improve the security and quality of the systems. The priorities depend on not just what developers see as friction, but also what's important to the business.

You don't always get to make everyone happy, but one example at my company is that we implemented [OpenID Connect](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/security-harde...) with our GitHub Actions and Artifactory installation to enable passwordless auth for uploading build artifacts as part of a CI build. This let developers not have to deal with managing a password for Artifactory, and also made security happy because that's a lot less passwords floating around.

Another idea that's helped the comradery and quality of our teams is language-specific working groups. My company has a few thousand developers, so establishing a monthly meeting where you share ideas, and facilitating discussions of recommended paths is useful. Your job as developer advocate can be a facilitator of the objectives and tasks, and run the meeting. Again, it's a significant time commitment, but has been very valuable for us. To emphasize; you're paving paths, not building walls. This is key to avoid preventing teams from deviating as needed, but also attract those that are looking for a smoother way of getting where they're going.
This NFM is a curious quantity . It has the flavor of a metric on the space of inputs to that layer. However, the fact that W’W remains proportional to DfDf’ seems to be an obvious consequence of the very form of f… since Df is itself Ds’WW’Ds, then this should be expected under some assumptions (perhaps mild) on the statistics of Ds, no?
Yeah this'll really attract the best and brightest to Dell! The leading supplier of mid tier office PCs! They'll be loaded with the best engineering talent in the world!

> People like Paul Graham telling 14-year-olds that basically getting rich is the most important thing is one of the reasons we got into this late-stage capitalism nightmare in the first place.

I don't think that's a fair summary of the article. Yes, he says you can get rich. But he also says, and says first, that it's less annoying and more fun (and also more actual work).

Then for the rest of the article, he doesn't harp on "you can get rich". He talks about getting good at some technology, and doing projects because they're interesting, and finding other people to do things with.
If people often give advice about how to do a certain thing, pretty soon you are going to think that the thing is important.
The anecdote claims to offer something about toxicity, it seems reasonable to consider whether it achieves this.
Claude 3 vs. Gemini 1.5 vs. GPT-4 vs. Mistral Large
The core criterion for whether something can be property is whether it is economically rival, i.e. whether possession/use by one party inherently excludes others from equivalent possession/use. This is true for all physical resources, including most items that people regard as "means of production", making them natural property, but isn't true for most of the things IP laws apply to.
Your mistake was assuming US workers have any protections lol
This article only mentions Stanford once, so here's some additional information:

https://new.nsf.gov/news/origins-google

> "The National Science Foundation led the multi-agency Digital Library Initiative (DLI) that, in 1994, made its first six awards. One of those awards supported a Stanford University project led by professors Hector Garcia-Molina and Terry Winograd... Around the same time, one of the graduate students funded under the NSF-supported DLI project at Stanford took an interest in the Web as a "collection." The student was Larry Page.... Page was soon joined by Sergey Brin, another Stanford graduate student working on the DLI project. (Brin was supported by an NSF Graduate Student Fellowship.)"

Under a rational and fair approach to patents, anything created with taxpayer funds would be available to all American businesses under a non-exclusive licensing program. However, in the 1980s, Bayh-Dole was pushed through which allowed exclusive licensing of those inventions to private parties. This is nothing but theft from the taxpayer, the entity who funds the NSF, which funded this research effort, which generated PageRank.

As a result, Google didn't face market competition for some time, and was able to create a monopolistic situation, and as with all monopolies, this resulted in the degradation of their product, which is why, as everyone seems to agree, Google search results are much worse today than they used to be.

[edit: contemplate the outcome if Brin & Page had instead invented PageRank as Apple or Microsoft employees - would they have been able to run off with the IP and found a company?]

I cut cost overruns for things like this some slack because I know, irrefutably, that anyone who thinks they can estimate a budget for a one-of-one, never-been-done-before, object like Euclid is a liar.

I know all about the techniques. I've been in the meetings. I've seen the spreadsheets. Your parametric cost model is adorable.

But at the end of the day, you're just lying with math.

And if you have to lie a little bit to get a space telescope built... no sweat.
Congrats on your launch! I have some feedback, but please don't take it negatively, it's just my thoughts.

I love to see anyone taking on salesforce.com, but your product so far is way too barebones. It reminds me of something I'd get from just using some admin UI for a database.

I was a salesforce technical architect and consultant for a number of years (hated it.) and what I've seen is that some of the first things people look for are reports, dashboards, workflows, integration. A lot of people think their sales process is super unique and want to see a path of implementing it in a system and that includes integrating it with a bunch of other systems already in place.

For smaller companies, sourcing leads, creating and tracking email campaigns, is probably the first thing they look for.

Some feedback for your website:

* gifs/videos take a while to load and stay blurred

* The linkedin example is great, show more like this

* Ability to add custom fields/objects is expected, doubt anyone would be impressed by that

* Show some canned dashboards and reports on the data
This is libel! You should go to jail!!

It isn't, obviously. But nor was that value stolen. Words mean things.
Typst does look very nice based on the brief look I took at it, but besides the questions of adoption and entrenchment that have been raised in parallel comments, the choice of Rust as the implementation language is also concerning to me. I think that Rust and the community that surrounds it are associated with a newer, simultaneously somewhat trend-chasing and decidedly paternalistic culture of software engineering that does not mesh well with the longtermist demands of science and scientific publishing. Concretely,

* Where LaTeX evidently favours doing whatever it takes to achieve a desired result (exhibit 1 being the article we are discussing), Rust itself and the culture that begot it are clearly on the side of decreeing a Right Way from high above and treating the possibility of deviating from it as a bug. In the light of the discussion in Footnote 7, I could for example imagine a Rust-minded typesetting system designer decreeing that unnumbered "displaystyle" math will not be supported.

* Cultural acceptance of mandatory automatic updates means that backwards compatibility may actually be considered an anti-goal.

* Cultural acceptance of ideology/politics in software engineering brings the danger of invasive conditions. What if, by way of an aggressively interpreted CoC, {receiving funding from military/police-aligned agencies, working with Russian collaborators, working with Iranian collaborators} becomes grounds for being excluded from issue discussions or package repositories? (I do take note that Typst does not currently show signs of doing anything like this, but the tone of the wider Rust community does have to be taken into account.)

Of course all these concerns are speculative, but scientific papers can be a nightmare scenario of maintenance (half a year's worth of work, one-digit number of people in the world qualified to write, two-digit number of people who will bother to read). Under those constraints, some measure of paranoia feels appropriate.
(2020) isn't quite enough to clue the reader in that GFS was extirpated at Google more than a decade ago. Historical trivia only.
- I agree that we shouldn‘t tell young people to aim for companies like Google / aim to get really really rich

- I agree that we should tell young children to aim for sustainable companies

- I at least partially disagree with warning against the unsustainable ruthless capitalism in case your sustainable ideas do get really big. Some companies would get really really big, and I would prefer to see those reaching there to be those who had a (comparatively) caring mind (the others would not listen anyway)

- but I would agree to explain young children that what and where they buy does impact climatic problems. And that supporting small-medium sized companies (or creating one) is the most beneficial for our future
Quantum Weirdness in New Metals Bends the Rules of Physics
restic is also great
For quite a while, when calling into a call center with the automated voice prompt system, swearing emphatically would get the system to cut to the chase and give you to a human (someone finally figured out that when you get your customers swearing mad, you tend to lose them).

It seems that swearing at the bot/person might work in the same way; "you worthless piece of $#&! bot, let me talk to a human" might provoke a human to respond off-script (and we can then apologize), or provoke the bot to escalate as did the answering systems.

Of course, then they'll get the bots to act like we hurt their feelings and ask for apologies, and it's back to square one.

Maybe, ask where they are from, with details?
The generative quantum eigensolver (GQE) and its application
His advice is:

- Work on a personal project that is motivating to you (obviously you won't work on it if it's not motivating to you)

- It's a good sign if the project you're motivated to work on solves a problem that you and your friends care a lot about, because there's a good chance many more people will also want that problem solved and will buy/use your product.

Sure, plenty of big companies were started via different paths, but not many were founded by kids barely out of high school.
That's only true if you need a lot of speciality packages. For the vast majority of people using LaTeX, they only need the core packages like the basic features of hyperref, geometry, amsmath, amsthm, and in that case, they are quite stable.

I've never had a problem recompiling documents. Yeah, you might have a problem if you're using LaTeX for a fringe use but most people don't.
They do - there is a physical latch you can pull (at least in the Model Y) that opens the door even when the car is totally unpowered.

I never actually knew about them, but I had passengers find them because people don't think of pushing a button to open a door. And when the latch is used, the car beeps at you and says something along the lines of "Your windows might be broken now when you do that".
I love the opening because the mission statement of my company has always been "make sure taneq doesn't ever have to go back to a real job". Don't get me wrong, at most points a 'real job' would have been easier but easier wasn't the mission.

When I was a kid, I once diluted some dark raspberry syrup in a glass of water. After mixing I discovered there were tons of ants in there. I drank it anyway and the ants were really sour like lemon pulp when you bit on them. I think them steeping in the syrup helped. It was really tasty!
Though apparently not gude enough for guding my speling.
> soaking up as much knowledge and relationships while you're in school

A family friend was recently admitted to a magnet school - it's not like an Ivy League level institution, but it's fairly prestigious in the area, and not easy to get to. I need to make sure to remind him that while it's good that he's feeling academically challenged, he should also focus on building friendships with people who are statistically likely (much as he is, tbh) to be successful in life - they can help pull him up when he's down, and he can do the same for them.

I didn't get that much out of college, academically - but the relationships I built there got me my first two jobs, and I still treasure the friends I made there.

That is in the Plans section. Are you in the phase of building a 529 or withdrawing from one? Either way, the app supports it and both of them are in the Plans section. In it, you can prioritize your cash outflow to build a 529 or include it as part of your inflow if you are withdrawing from one.
This is entirely fair in its goal and perspective.

It's not about starting Koch Industries or Disney.

It's not about some ideal world where connections and funding don't matter.

It's about a kind of productive problem solving that creates value for other people by solving problems they just accept as friction in their lives.

It's insightful in focusing on how projects you love can end up helping others.

But it's a little misleading in that people are listening not because they are doing what they love, but because they want to be successful - ideally to take what they love and turn it into success - according to this plan.

Let's say each year 10,000 people would love to become professional football players, 500 make it to the NFL, and 5 become household names - success stories.

There's no real accounting for the time wasted by the 9,500 doing the extra required not out of enjoyment of the game but to become successful (leaving aside any actual costs like TBI). It's at least an exported cost. But it might have other downstream effects, making someone less confident in their judgement, less likely to engage in making a better world of whatever sort.

One of the Buddhist precepts is not to sell the wine of delusion (in some translations). But it's also soul-killing to tell someone how likely they are to fail; who says that at a wedding? What benefit is that?

Paul Graham made a success of helping others be successful. That's a really good model to consider: to do and teach and help. So I would take this as good teaching for teens.

> That means that in order to utilize that “wealth” it needs to be liquidated and no longer accreting value

This is objectively wrong. The great majority of owned wealth is capital, and capital is operated. Most of Buffett's net worth is in businesses which he owns: those businesses operate at a profit, creative value for the world at large, some of which accrues to Mr. Buffett. Which he promptly reinvests in more (hopefully) productive businesses.
Leetcode style interviews were always a reasonable option for a particular type of company. But they became a trend for companies that weren't a good fit.
It’s so deflating to see both YC & PG focus their content almost solely on the younger generations. As someone who came to tech later in their mid-30s, it’s not hard to feel like expired goods when the “thought leaders” of tech are unabashedly gunning for younger minds with little to no acknowledgement of those who may want to start ventures during later stages of life.

The more I try to plug myself in, the more it seems like starting a company at this age is borderline schizophrenic delusion.
I'm unsure about the Canadian market particularly but i can name half a dozen people I know personally who have "Steaming boxes". Most are tech illiterate so I doubt they fully know what it is or how they work but I'm sure they know its illegal.

"financially incentivized" -> Welcome to the world.

You can search HN and find plenty of arguments that scientific reporting by all major journals are biased and no longer factual and are just clickbait.

Researchers have 'clickbait' studies because they are "financially incentivized" to get funding.

You are drawing the line at YouTube, others draw the line at CNN, others draw the line at freaking 'Nature'.

Now AI is generating scientific papers, I think we should be worried about how we determine 'factual' sources across the board.

Most people I know went from dealing with live TV, high prices, and having to pirate what wasn't airing to paying for one or two streaming services to get everything they want.
Then half of them kept getting new services and pay more than they did for cable in the first place, and the other half rotate services, pay less than they did for cable, and still have to wait to watch what they want and pirate some things.

It's better than cable was, no argument, but it's like we passed right through the bright future, ripe with possibilities, and landed at marginal improvement.

Commercial license is not required for the plain C# extension, which is distributed under a custom license for extension install[0] and under MIT for source code[1].

The features of DevKit (which is uninstalled on my system) are as follows[2]:

- VS-style solution explorer

- VS-style test explorer

- Intellicode (extra extension that integrates with DevKit)

I don't have use for any of these, preferring folder style navigation and CMD+T/P/etc., and GitHub Copilot autocomplete does way better job for any text than Intellicode. The "intellisense" VS calls it is just a base autocomplete feature in VSC that works for any language provided it has a back-end that integrates through LSP.

Figma’s dev mode was just a way to take existing functionality and gate it behind a higher price point under the guise of “new functionality”.

As a developers i found it simpler to access css from figma via the old inspect vs. having to toggle in and out of dev mode.

It is shady to take a commonly used feature and move it behind a higher tier after years of offering to people already giving you money. Just classic VC driven startups trying to screw over its loyal customers.
They care about those things insofar as they're legally obligated to and/or they can be mined for positive PR. All of them would sell your grandma into slavery for $5 in shareholder value if they knew they wouldn't be penalized more than $4 for it.
I live in the Bay Area. The problem here is the temporary nature of those residing here. They tend to plan to leave after a few years when enough of their RSUs have vested to afford a nice home elsewhere.

One thing that helped me enormously was… getting a dog. I’ll take multiple walks in the neighborhood each day and eventually got to know a whole bunch of neighbors. Even now I’ll go out for a brisk thirty minute walk only to end up spending multiple hours chatting with neighbors.
