If you don't know Rust yet, you should be careful choosing it just because of what strangers write on the internet. The learning curve is steep and the productivity much worse compared to GC languages unless you're an experienced Rust dev. I haven't used Elixir, but it looks like a very productive stack. If you're good at Rust and know what you're doing, then yes, Rust (Axum) is very nice. You can pair it with HTMX if you don't need a SPA.
Note that Java support on VSCode, is provided by Red-Hat and Microsoft, and is basically Eclipse running headless.

With Oracle plugins for VSCode being Netbeans running headless.

Which ironically means having Electron on top of their existing resource usage.

So anyone saying that they prefer VSCode to pure Eclipse for Java coding, better look out their CPU monitoring tools.

> Most education prior to the industrial revolution was considered a luxury for the wealthy,

In fact this is still the case in many ways. There are loads of kids studying things that are not directly economically useful, mainly for their own enjoyment and as a luxury status symbol.
An open source StarCraft could have lead to a renaissance of the genre, but he found it more important to get like 250 quid of unsold Overwatch trash from the blizz store.

> America was founded on people taking up arms against the taxman [while lacking political enfranchisement].

The second half of the slogan "no taxation without representation" is not a minor detail. In fact the Tea Act [0] —which motivated the Boston Tea Party protests, to which the British government's escalation in response eventually led to the American Revolution— was not an act establishing or increasing any tax. On the contrary, the Tea Act was actually reducing taxes and duties on tea!

The idea that the American Revolution was triggered by "taxation" shouldn't be retconned under modern eyes into believing that the colonists were against the idea of taxation.

I'm pretty sure I saw it mentioned that if the source and destination are Starlink dishes then packets will be routed by the satellites directly to the destination dish without going through any ground stations.

That means Starlink can, in fact, guarantee communications during outages (so long as the Starlink network itself isn't down). You just need to have Starlink service at both the send and receive sides and the communication effectively acts as a direct link.

Exactly, I remember the game for not being technically impressive upon release. 2D games were looked down upon in 1998.

I worked at another game studio at the time of release and all our titles under production were 3D.

I’d put a slightly different framing to you. Even in places like the US (where there is no clear comparison to the BBC when looking at audience and influence with public funding) you still see those exact same dynamics play out as you describe it with a huge rush to the bottom style mentality.

The problem wasn’t the public funding but rather that good journalism is incompatible with a profit maximising corporate structure. We saw the exact same thing play out online with how the fact that the internets primary business model is advertising and what that has done to content creation across all formats and all platforms almost without exception.

So like you’re saying but the opposite in some ways.
Hey HN,

I'm Ewen, a student working on this side project.

I've been working on several startups already, but I always faced the problem of having a hard time collecting feedback from users (because they're not enough engaged, don't answer surveys, etc...)

So I made FeedbackLoop, with it you can integrate an Intercom-like widget to your page to collect feedback from your users and even showcase your roadmap.

There are many more fun and interesting features!

I hope you'll like this tool of mine and I'd be delighted if you could give feedback on it!

Hypothesis:

Introverts are more afraid of social consequences when they say something that somebody else might criticize (loudly) as wrong, hence

- they speak less

- they are more precise when speaking

- they are more tired after social situations

- they are less interesting to small talk with because they leave little room to engage (which could be done by expressing, e.g., preferences, ideas, hypotheses, jokes, ...)

Another hypothesis:

Extroverts made the experience in their life that at a certain point more confidence begets less criticism begets more confidence.

Anyone has thoughts on this?
Perhaps i just have the wrong mental model on how people think, but this sounds like just a description of all human thought processes, whether writing deep thoughts or deciding what to eat for dinner. I honestly am not sure what the alternative would be.

I found this quote from the article especially heartfelt. To me it doesn't just convey a hopeful message, it also shows the attitude and inner strength of someone who just endured the closest thing we have to living & working on a new frontier. It's a powerful message when read through that lens.

So you mean instead of feedbacking the functionalities of the product, in this case, users feedback on the quality, design of the clothes?
That wiki page is a little outdated. The pinned thread is a little more recent but still missing a lot of offshoots like TheMotte.org.

Ironically the only off-site that ever really took off is the snuff film site which has 2.3M users now.
Sort of. Imagine you sell watches, and you want to know why 10% of a certain SKU is getting returned. Currently you just have a text box for that, but it’s difficult and time consuming sifting through all that feedback to get specific data.

With your product, you make it more systematic, so a customer returning it is drilling down to “watch band is fraying” or whatever. That way the company can take the feedback, and improve.

Or an ebike company wants to create a second version of their flagship bike, but wants to know what existing customers would want improved. So they fire out an email with a $50 coupon for anyone who completes your feedback process. Through that, they are able to find out the handlebars are too narrow, the brake caliper screws strip easily, and the motor is too loud. So they prioritize these upgrades accordingly.

I dunno, to me that seems useful, and an improvement over what they do currently.

That’s as deep as I can go for now, but as general advice don’t be afraid to pivot. Find what works/sells and go all in on it.
I think you are mixing up being an introvert with being socially anxious. While the two can go hand in hand, there are plenty of socially anxious extroverts and socially confident introverts.
This is one of the reasons why many hashtable implementations introduce a random component into the algorithm. The order of elements changes on every run, so if you accidentally rely on the order, it's going to go wrong sooner rather than later.

It also very nicely prevents security issues, since if the hashing algorithm is fixed, it can be exploited for denial of service by coming up with keys that all fall into the same bucket.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7772588/

why should it be any different on mars than on earth?

> This show has a cool premise, that being what if the space race never ended. It's a sort-of alternate reality and it does a good job of weaving in actual historical events with where the timeline diverged. The main problem is that I feel like the show is being pulled in two directions. In one direction, there is the tension of the space race, engineers scrambling to be the first on the moon/mars and dealing with all manner of technical issues in a realistic-ish way. That part of the show I enjoy. Then, for some reason, the show also throws in a bunch of trite interpersonal drama and stupidity. Like inter-marital affairs, people leaking NASA secrets to the soviets, and a CLEARLY unstable drug-addicted astronaut being given solo control of a super important mission. It's like the showrunners thought the show couldn't stand on it's own without dumb drama, as if there couldn't organically be issues and drama in the context of Frigging SPACE. The first season does this better, but by the 2nd/3rd seasons most of the issues come not from unforeseen difficulties of life on the moon/mars but idiots. It really makes me wonder if they just aren't sure who their audience are. The people who like the technical stuff are not going to like the artificial drama, and vise-versa. Pick a lane, show, and stick with it.

Revival was on a soundtrack of a (mediocre) movie Reality Bites. It has wonderful sense of South-style communion for me. I remember that was the only song by Me Phi Me, which I enjoyed at that time.

Thx for links, good stuff. Let us keep it up.
I tend to agree. The author appears to have discovered that he can better examine and criticize his own thoughts by making his thinking verbally explicit and then putting in effort to actually perform that examination (both mentally and through further writing).

I suppose there are other ways to work with the mind’s symbols, such as visual art, music, etc. But the author seems confined to language and language-based logic.
Thanks for being one of the few commenters questioning the microconomic angle itself. In my view, the problem is that no rational economic agent will ever embrace the idea that research should be expensive. Well some very few of us do, we realize that we are competing against Nature and the Universe (not other economic entities), so one of the sensible avenues left to us is to try and recuperate all the losses that have already gone into past research. (maybe Kepler was trying desperately to salvage Hellenic heliocentrism? He also had a thing for platonic solids, after all)
Another hypothesis: being extravert means getting energised by interactions with others; being introvert means that costs energy.
(Most people will have experienced both, at different times.)

This is why I don't think that being introvert is caused by fear, nor that courage cause extraverted behaviour. For most people, whether a social situation is providing or draining energy very often depends on more than just you.

Yes, there are exceptions. But don't underestimate yourself -- in either direction. The vast majority of people need both to thrive.

Ask HN: Do SWEs need a tool for gaining insight and exploring creativity?
I'm exploring the idea of developing a tool to enhance software engineers' creativity and insight generation during the development process. Key concepts include:

1. A note-taking system similar to Obsidian, but tailored for code-related insights.

2. Lightweight prototyping capabilities integrated with or separated with mainstream IDEs.

3. Features to stimulate non-linear thinking and problem-solving.

4. Visualization tools for understanding complex systems and algorithms.

Some questions I'm pondering:

- How do you currently spark creativity in your development process?

- What challenges do you face when trying to innovate within standardized development workflows?

- Would a tool focusing on creativity and insight generation be valuable in your work?

- For those in research or tackling complex problems, what features would you find most useful?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from SWEs working on cutting-edge technologies, research, or complex system design.

Your thoughts and experiences would be incredibly valuable. Thanks!

Yes, all those discussions about introverts sound more easily described as a bully society.

- Bullied people are afraid of talking and must prove their hypotheses all the time,

- Bullying people aren’t afraid of extrapolations, because even when they are wrong, they can use various forces to remain on top.
thank you:) not so easy with pastries
Sure, but all of those work for numbers higher than 10, and all assume you know the multiplication table by heart. The multiplication table (the result of multiplying every number between 1 and 10 with each other) is something you have to memorize. You can get away with memorizing only some of these results and computing the others based on them, but it's basically impossible to do any more complex arithmetic if you don't know most of it by rote memorization.

No, I am just saying that the article is omitting a very important fact that would go against the argument it implies. I am not saying that it was necessarily genetically driven, I am simply saying that I find it strange that this other perspective was not even mentioned, especially since this genetic predisposition to disliking cilantro is such a widely known fact, and since the author they cite chose to describe cilantro in exactly the way everyone with this genetic predisposition (including myself) chooses to describe it.

If an article about the lack of dairy in east Asian cuisine never mentioned the high frequency of lactose intolerance in those regions, it would be equally misleading, even if there were many other factors resulting in this lack of dairy (primarily different agricultural practices).

Agreed. None of the modern AI shops has anything like the level of elite technology expertise that the serious Unix companies did in the 80s or 90s: the Sun Microsystems people would eat OpenAI and still be hungry.

And they got their ass kicked by Linux. Not even a close, hard-fought match. Brutally humiliated and driven out of business and sold off for parts.

The reckless contempt that the modern AI cartel holds open models in, and GGUF in, and even Apple in on this stuff is staggering and makes me wonder if any of the leadership even knows the history.

No one has ever tried to tell the technology community what they can and can’t do on their own machine and lived to tell the story. The people pushing DRM over the years need a restraining order against their own employees.

LOL, when I read just the first paragraph of your comment, I immediately thought of computer graphics.

There are other examples. I wouldn't be motivated to analyze some filter circuit's transfer function if it's not related to guitar somehow.

If you are someone who is primarily about Making Stuff, this will resonate.

I think some of the academics in math are not Make Stuff people; they can get motivated by the math itself. Or, well, maybe they are Make Stuff people, but what hey make is the math itself. Their application for something is, oh, I need that to prove this other thing in some structure I'm making.

I've experienced the Make Stuff motivation playing with just math. For instance, in high school, I independently came up with double and triple integration along multiple a, and used that to work out the volumes of common solids (easily verifiable to be right). I was thinking, I'm following this cool idea where we integrate along one variable, to get a formula which we integrate along another; will that work?

What’s interesting here is that there appears to be little convergence from different manufacturers towards an ‘ideal’ design.

I suspect that a good proportion of the aerodynamic work on cycling products (frames, wheels, etc.) is mostly for marketing, and isn’t backed by expertise, testing or CFD remotely approaching the level of, say, Formula 1.

The apparent randomness of aero helmet designs maybe reflects this, and also (of course) the relative lack of resource in cycling product design.
