> The goal of wax is to be a "common subset" of most major imperative programming languages. By lacking the unique fancy features in each of these languages and being as boring as possible, wax transpiles to all of them seamlessly

I love the concept. I was recently studying a very small language called "subscript", with a similar idea they called "common syntax".

For me I grade tests as follows. The stack is created as students turn in the test. I grade the first page in that order. The stack reverses for the second page. So on and so forth. I teach college math. I just cant imagine a system of grading done in alphabetical order.
Apex predators can help, but in places like New Jersey (and hell, the entire Accela corridor) deer are incredibly overpopulated in places too dense with humans for apex predators to tolerate. In those places, we need aggressive bow hunting and culling. But the very noisy and politically powerful "don't shoot Bambi" crowd prevents this. You get sick deer and forests entirely devoid of saplings, and therefore at risk.

Sky did a thing in the 90s called Intertext.

You would dial a premium rate number and you would then be read out a page number. You went to that page and used your telephone keypad to do interactive stuff and the page would update in near real time.

> If a dog were not conscious, there would be no point in distinguishing a sleeping dog from a wakeful dog; the two would have to be the same.

While I don’t disagree with your conclusion, your argument is flawed because you switch the meaning of the word “conscious” from “having thoughts and self-awareness” to “transitioning between a dormant and active state”.

You're right that I didn't mean to communicate that, but it's a good point. I agree with you entirely that this is the big downside of YC and frankly all VC backed entrepreneurship. It is not the path of highest expected return for a founder. If you want a high expected return then a FAANG job or a bootstrapped SaaS product you can build yourself are good options. Some days that's what I wish I was doing to be honest.

I think a lot of VC backed founders aren't just in it because they want to get rich though. Sure, we all want that, but we're also all predisposed to irrationally believe that we're the exception. That trait (for better or worse) comes with implications, and many founders I speak to are simply compelled to try because it's hard, and it's theirs, and they're impatient.

I also very much agree with the sibling though. Getting rejected does not carry that much signal, because YC are wrong more than they're right. So just keep trying.

Of course high rents are caused by the investors. After all, rents are huge part of the return on their investment and also huge factor in determining the asset price.

Solution to rental crisis is the reduction of what percentage of people rent vs buy. With a flood of cheap properties on the market more people would consider buying. Also they'd need smaller mortgages so they could be easier to acquire.
>For BS answers I'll admit I got less generous as the hours went on.

Also prof: me too. I'm much more likely to provide comments on the first couple of exams I grade than on the later ones.

I've found that gradescope is helpful in this regard, because it at least forces every point assignment to be matched to a rubric item. I don't have data, but I believe it makes our grading a lot more uniform compared to the pre-gradescope days.
(This might be easier in grading computer science exams than in more subjective areas, though.)
I don’t think anybody would claim it’s supernatural. Only that for doctors who have seen lots of patients, they (their subconscious?) pick up on signals that they cannot consciously articulate, which means they can’t be easily taught or checked for. (Over time I think we do catalog more of these things but it takes a lot of instances and some explicit reflection before people can identify and describe the pattern.) I’ve got plenty of criticisms for doctors and medicine but I absolutely think this is true because I experience the same in my own personal and professional life.
Or having ever taken a band class? Like even once? You have to tune the instruments to a common reference before you play so they’re not… out of tune. With themselves. The exact thing he’s talking about.

I’m so amazed such a musically-inclined guy (he’s clearly been passing it on to his kids, at least!) evidently had zero close family members who got what he meant, that I’m wondering if the story is exaggerated for effect and this was actually audience feedback. If not, I’m flabbergasted. That’s not obscure or deep knowledge.

Or maybe they were trolling him?

[edit] or is… language changing? I’ve never known “out of tune” to mean anything but what he was trying to communicate: you do not say a guitar is “out of tune” if it’s a half-step down or in an alternate tuning or something. Instruments accompanying a poorly-tuned piano are “out of tune” if they’re not exactly as wrong as the piano is. That’s just what it means. But maybe that’s changing?

[edit2] for context, I play some instruments to about the same level as people who only sing in the shower or in the car alone sing, am by far the most-musical person in my immediate family, and half-assed my way through some band classes in school—I’m entirely with him in being surprised this isn’t usage that anyone who’s looked at an instrument is familiar with.

At that viewing distance the pixels are probably far enough apart to stick your pinky between them. If you're ever close enough to a digital billboard you can ran your hand over it and it's like a bed of nails. LEDs on little stalks. The metric is called "pixel pitch". And there's loads of software and hardware options for running massive displays. There are some beefy PCs with like 8 HDMI outs, splitters, combiners. Or more likely you split the video into multiple segments and then use software to keep multiple players in sync.

That's a good question, for sure. I clicked on the OP (and then here) because the company I work for is in the early stages of bringing this functionality (linktree, ffm.to type thing) in-house, so I was curious to see what's on offer here.

We won't use this because we'll end up building something more custom fit for us (more of a full featured "landing page" experience), but this is still interesting to see.

(For context, the company works with artists and we launch dozens of projects a year, each of which needs a "link tree" or landing page-style place that's updated constantly for several months bracketing the launch date.)
Thanks, and very cool, thanks for breaking it down! I appreciate you sharing numbers.

A bank seems like a much better option if you just need the capital but you don't want to give up too much (or any) equity. That's likely the route we'd go if we ever wanted to tap into funding.

Both private equity and venture funding seem more like you have to give up the company and go work for the investor. Investors bring some value sure, network and what-not, but I wonder how valuable their "advice" and network really is.
Morton codes are pretty fun, I remember playing with them a few years ago when toying around with tricks for optimizing voxel rendering.

I wrote a routine that was the fastest I could manage to encode/decode them, I wonder how it compares nowadays to this implementation. This was back when Ryzen CPUs still implemented PDEP in microcode, so lookup table and bit twiddling was much faster than PDEP.

I don't know who this guy is, but he's clearly been immersed in music his entire life, and is playing a different game with different rules than everyone else is when it comes to listening to music.

I love a good rant, it's like watching a well-choreographed fight scene where you get multiple short cycles of tense setup and visceral payoff, building to a final climax that resolves the specific fight decisively whether or not it made any larger difference.

When a rant has almost exclusively ineffective, ignorant, and frankly bad-faith arguments, it's like one of those joke fights where a tiny character is limply slapping a tank that doesn't sell any impact. Those "fight" scenes don't last more than a few seconds because nothing interesting can come from that dynamic and everyone's time is better spent on something else.

This rant was far too long to get away with how thin its material is. I encourage people who want to criticize Rust to at least learn more about it so they can actually target relatable weaknesses for a meaningful payoff.
I had the same conclusion. You learn things as you go, including things you don't like.
> Is SF particularly bad for German?

Anecdote: For some time San Francisco had the wrong glyph for the German character Capital Sharp S - the „ẞ“.

SF rendered the glyph as a ligature of two combined S letters, you can see this in this screenshot of a Wikipedia page compared to SF in Safari’s UI:

https://imgur.com/6wxr4Rw

Pretty much every other font which included a Capital Sharp S uses a shape which is more similar to the lowercase ß – and there were over time a lot of variation proposed:

https://web.archive.org/web/20141024232352/http://www.signog...

For non German speakers: There exists an orthographic rule in German to render the lowercase ß as SS in uppercase in low fidelity environments and sometimes also for line breaks. For some reason English speakers sometimes interpret „ß“ and „ss“ as interchangeable, which is somewhat wrong. But I can see how an English speaking monolinguist tries to optimise things.

Most of the time that orthographic rule works. But it is after all a low fidelity variant, similar how the ü → ue pattern loses some information. To always use an SS ligature robs the reader of discrimination: Is „MASSE“ an uppercase variant of „Masse“ or of „Maße“? That’s particular significant for personal names which should be written exact, even in uppercase. There are reasons why typography introduced an „ẞ“, it then got encoded into Unicode - it fills a small need.

Apple had this wrong glyph in San Francisco from Mac OS El Capitan up until Mojave and elsewhere, including its web sites. It was rather absurd to report this bug to Apple: Radar/Feedback dialogue wasn’t really equipped to report a font bug and secondly both the Feedback reporter and Apple’s developer website used San Francisco at its font, making illustrating the report with glyphs rather annoying. And of course, as usual with bug reports to Apple: You’ll never get feedback.
What do you think is nonsensical about Searle? My sense is that he's very much not obscurantist in the way one might think Heidegger or Kant is (of course, the defense is that they use technical language because they're discussing technical things). But maybe you just mean that his arguments fail.
I created a k8s deployment which spins up nginx in a job to update TLS secrets with dehydrated because I couldn’t get an admin to install cert-manager. It works great, especially because I had scheduled rebuilds of the base container off of latest images. I left the job 3 years ago, and it’s still running fine and staying ahead of the vuln scanners.

I had also used a pre-shared private key, which I put on a F5 BigIp, and just scheduled a job on the F5 to pull the updated certs daily.
Random order would still mean a few students in the class get unlucky and near the end the majority of the time. Although over the course of all classes it would tend to even out somewhat.

It’s certainly better than fixed order.
Distribution Is King
Yeah, I think it's probably just a vocabulary issue, but it could be something else.

When I play an instrument that's perfectly in tune, it feels really good... maybe because in-tune instruments generate harmonics with themselves creating a fuller, more pleasing experience. Kinda like drinking a really nice wine.

Maybe people who don't play haven't ever noticed that instruments do that.
It is legally relevant since they can't charge a dead person with a crime?
Yeah it's pretty well solved. You can buy players at retail for many years. I'm not sure what products handle this much scale seamlessly but Brightsign is the one I always preferred. I haven't gone past 4 players but it's really easy to send it a gigantic video and the software will send crops to different players and play them in sync. We did like a 10k display for very up close viewing and there was no code to write or anything. Just spend the money and run the cables.
I've participated in day-long and multi-day interview events for job candidates, and I see the same effect. At the beginning you don't have a frame of reference and you're more likely to question your own decision or give someone the benefit of the doubt, but by the end you're far more systematic, plus a little bit numb to the effect your decision is having.
It should average out over their career at the university - whereas if the alphabetical order is kept, then they would be systematically penalised.

I only referred to the average of homeownership rate over the decades. So inequality is still irrelevant there.

Given the homeownership rate is 66% and has been around that number for many decades, I am sure a lot of "regular working people" are homeowners. Unless you think that segment is a minority of the society, in which case they should not be called "regular".
