Here’s maybe a useful example. Consider a scalar potential function F on R^3 that describes some nonlinear spring law. At a point p=(x,y,z), the differential dF can be thought of as a (1,0) tensor measuring the spring force. It acts on a particle at p moving with velocity v to give the instantaneous work of the particle on the spring dF(p)(v). Now, suppose that we want to know how this quantity changes when we vary the x coordinate. The x coordinate is also a function of p, we can represent its differential as dx, which is a co-vector(field). The quantity that captures this change can be thought of as a (1,1) tensor field, which is related to the stiffness of the spring potential in the x direction at each point p. In the usual undergraduate setting, this tensor field is given as the hessian of F, call this H. The action of this tensor looks like the product u^T H(p) v, where in our case, u^T = dx(p) = [1 0 0]. A good giveaway for when a “co-vector” appears in a tensor calculation is whenever there is a “row vector” in a matrix operation (most people identify “column” vectors with proper vectors). It’s helpful in this case that “row” rhymes with “co-“.
Hey sorry I've also had a lot of radio silence from them. It all started when I couldn't update our team's Zero Tier user seats count back in July, and that is still ongoing. Cloudflare's core systems seem to be up (in Cloudflare terms, up is relative), but their admin backend seems to be having serious issues that I'm hoping they are working on. And or give up and crack open some kind of Solarwinds samanage or BMC footprints or heck even some bugzilla - something to get them unblocked more than they are now.

I don't have any contact info to help with.
Global population is not declining. It is projected to continue growing for at least another few decades.
I wonder how much of the software you're proposing Apple get paid 99.9% for is open source? (Including the xkcd-famous "one guy in Nebraska" who's been doing his thing for over 20 years)?

How much do all the contributors of these projects get paid?

https://opensource.apple.com/projects/

And all the stuff not listed there too, like OpenSSH, curl, all those little things that pretty much _every_ OS uses?

And the predecessors? BSD, Mach, FreeBSD...
Oh, please. Wordstar is nothing but an insignificant pre-GUI editor with roughly zero useful modern printer drivers.

For a comparable but better experience, choose any text editor — emacs, for example — and groff. You get the control-keys of your choice (wordstar should you so choose) and world class typesetting capable of anything, including books.

I’ll note their app actually sucks at least for reading serial fiction from a few people I subscribe to.

What does require an app though is sending notifications. As a result I have their app just to receive notifications of new chapter releases, then go read the post on the website.

If Apple stopped locking this functionality into applications then something like Patreon could just be a website that you pin on your homescreen.

Now another alternative is email notifications but I will tell you email sucks and most people won’t bother with it. If I start allowing notifications from my mail client I’ll get a ton of notifications that I don’t give a crap about. There is a real spam problem there which application based notifications don’t have.
Oh wow, I just checked the prices on the MT-32 and IT IS N-U-T-S! Hope you can find a good one without breaking the bank. :)
That is also fair. I think both are fair enough in this rare situation. Whether or not the finish is this close is already luck-based even when two people have equal skill.
I agree that consumer ownership rights to their computers are the more pressing issue, but Apple should probably also be broken up. The problem is how to do that without destroying the value they bring to consumers, i.e. where do you draw the lines internally?
The whole thing is a boondoggle and running a deficit to redistribute more wealth to the top should disgust people. Your strawman is meaningless.
This just seems kind of insane to me in that it really burns up a lot of consumer goodwill towards Apple, especially from creator types, who are way more influential than regular customers. And it also seems to invite regulatory scrutiny which could end up killing their golden goose if they are forced to open up their platform and strict limits are placed on what they can charge for facilitating transactions on the platform. That kind of regulatory crackdown is really not unprecedented-- just look what the US did the phone company back in the day, or to banks and credit card companies in terms of interchange fees. This is just extremely silly behavior to engage in from a dominant company.
What country are you in? Like you already know, CS Degrees are a dime a dozen and Business Degrees really are sort of too general to be useful. If it is one or the other then perhaps pick the one where your chances of employment are greater.

Couple weeks ago we had an issue where we were running into the 100 MB file upload limit so we upgraded to pro. Even after upgrading, we still are stuck at 100 MB upload limit and after weeks of trying to reach out to support (submitting HAR files, etc) that limit has not been raised. Cancelled pro because it simply doesn’t work and yeah support sucks. At one point we got a candid response (paraphrasing): sorry we've been late to reply, shit has been hitting the fan recently.

It's really unfortunate because Cloudflare is incredibly valuable tech and we rely on it for all sorts of things: zero trust, tunnels via cloudflared, advanced page/routing/redirect rules, a lot of cloudflare pages/workers deployed, on top of all our DNS there.

We manage about 800k domains so having a reliable partner here is critical.
They can _not_ charge through iOS though. It’s a very small matter for me to navigate to the Amazon website to buy a new book, then load it up in the Kindle app.

Actually what would happen is that you would pay $1400: $1000 to the creator and $400 to Apple.
This is what’s called the “golden handcuffs “. You want to leave but the current job is pretty good and you likely won’t be able to find something better.
they didn't prohibit charging more for App Store purchases, they prohibited mentioning it in the app. i.e, you cannot mention something like 'purchase this in-app product for $3 cheaper on our website'.
And intent is notoriously hard to prove. As long as there isn't an email saying "fuck the laws break it down" good luck proving the cops were the bad guy and every judge will side with them all day long.

What? I have many many many monthly bills that are not iPhone apps. My gas bill may or may not have an iOS app, but I'm sure as hell not confused and angry if it doesn't.
Also, walking doesn't trigger your appetite as much as running or weight lifting for the same calorie expenditure. That's purely anecdotal but what I've come to conclude. One poster said walking doesn't burn glycogen, which is your immediate fuel source. That correlates because your body needs immediate fuel much more than fat stores.
I usually despise stack rank, but it looks like there are times when it's needed. Maybe companies should mostly eschew it for other methods, but run it once per decade and flush out all the dead weight, of course, including management.
> or disable transactions in the iOS app

This should be beyond illegal right? Other apps do this without issues.

I am aware, which is why I said "effectively." The bar for removing a sport is different than for adding one. For one thing, swimming and similar events have over a century of work making them more accessible.
Unless it changed recently, Pro has the same 100mb upload limit as the Free tier. You need a Business or Enterprise plan for a higher limit.

Ask HN: Tool or package support for hybrid graphical and textual development
Tool or package support for hybrid graphical and textual development

I am looking for some kind of hybrid development environment that allows you to write software in both a graphical sense and textual sense for one of the more common languages (Java/python/nim, etc). My main point of reference is Ballerina.

One of its main pages describes what I’m looking for: https://ballerina.io/why-ballerina/graphical/
- Generation of sequence diagrams
- generate code from sequence diagram tools

However the plugin is explicitly linked to the ballerina programming language, with some integrations with Java.

It doesn’t need to be tied into every framework, but the fundamentals of a language would be nice.
It also has to be able to translate every part or block to the core language it supports to run standalone.

I’ve also looked into the following other tools that are similar but too niche in my mind.

Maybe I meant to say business? I explicitly upgraded to the plan that allows 200mb.

As a stop gap, since our assets are stored on S3, we transitioned to using pre-signed URL's that the client will directly upload to.
> A distributed computing system, then, is naturally expressed as a set of relational stores with triggers.

1. This statement is too big of a leap; it doesn’t follow from the setup which only required an upsert operation and key/value storage. Nothing in the setup example requires relational algebra. Agree?

2. This seems like a hasty generalization. Is the author claiming that the toy example is representative of distributed systems? If so, what aspects?

IMO, the post started strong but fizzled; this is why I’m giving pointed feedback.

It is made possible by my code. But I would emphasize that the code is quite trivial. It's literally just populating a prompt template with the output of a previous template-- simple string manipulation. I never could understand why anyone would want to use Langchain for that sort of thing.

Despite, perhaps, all your experience to the contrary it's only a relatively recent change to a situation where "most people" have no association with the animals they eat for meat and thus can find themselves "not thinking about it very much".

It's only within the past decade or so that the bulk of human population lives in an urban setting. Until that point most people did not and most people gone fishing, seen a carcass hanging in a butcher's shop, killed for food at least once, had a holiday on a farm if not worked on one or grown up farm adjacent.

By most people, of course, I refer to globally.

Throughout history vegetarianism was relatively rare save in vegatarian cultures (Hindi, et al) and in those cultures where it was rare people were all too aware of the animals they killed to eat. Many knew that pigs were smart and that dogs and cats interact with humans, etc.

Eliezer was correct to think that people who killed to eat thought about their food animals differently but I suspect it had less to do with sapience and more to do with thinking animals to be of a lesser order, or there to be eaten and to be nutured so there would be more for the years to come.

This is most evident in, sat, hunter societies, aboriginals and bushmen, who have extensive stories about animals, how they think, how they move and react, when they breed, how many can be taken, etc. They absolutely attribute a differing kind of thought, and they hunt them and try not to over tax the populations.
What makes 3D harder to implement? Mmath should be quite similar.
My lay observance is many soldier's are stronger+heavier than WWII for example. Strength doesn't quite offset the increased body weight effects when it comes to running medium to long distances. So typically you'd be right, but recently I think we're selecting for strength which requires higher bodymass more than in the past.
There's no cure though. You can't fix organizations infested with politicians. They're too entrenched. They have an advantage: you, rare competent person, have to focus on both the engineering and the organizational dynamics, whereas these creatures, since they don't believe in world of atoms outcomes, can spend 100% of their time on schemes and on getting rid of gadfly types like you.

Progress depends on creative destruction, not internal reform. The only way we maintain or advance quality as a society is to enable the continual creation of new institutions to compete with sclerotic and terminally politician-infested ones.

When you artificially prop up the latter, you curtail progress overall.

> does anybody want to argue that Apple hosting the Patreon app on iOS provides more value to Patreon subscribers and creators than the existence of Patreon itself does?

Well, there is a simple way to test this... just get rid of the Patreon iOS app and just use a web version. Why does patreon need its own app? Why can't it just be web based?

I wish fewer companies had apps. I don't need an app for everything. I don't need every hotel I stay at to have their own app, I don't need an app to order food at a restaurant.

So why do companies make them? Because people spend more money when they can just use the in app purchase functionality. It is CLEARLY worth the 30% to most companies, because they keep pumping out single use apps that would be better as a mobile web page.

> In the sense that [bigger company] can make more money and reach more people than [smaller company], yes. But if all they are doing is sitting there and using that bigger presence, you can see how that roads ends in antitrust.

I don't follow this at all. If a big record label strikes an international distribution deal with a small label, the big label brings more value to the artist than the small label does. Is that necessarily antitrust?

> Let's not pretend this trillion dollar company that already forces devs to use IOS hardware to develop (and took down their server OS's to boot), and charges a yearly membership to dev is scaping for cash here.

I think you replied to the wrong post? I certainly didn't assert that out of pretense or otherwise. Though it's hard for me to fault "forcing" devs to own the hardware they are developing for. Phone software and iOS software have enough quality issues without letting developers ship stuff that has never been tested on real HW.
Hey, I'm from Greece. But, I really don't see myself staying here after college. As for chances of employment, right now it is quite easy to find a relatively high paying Cs job in Greece. But, since the Greek jobs market generally does seem to be a few years behind the US and northern European ones, and we didn't experience a post pandemic slow down in hiring, I believe it's very likely we're in for one in a few years.

Many people, myself included, dislike being advertised to in general.

Especially in the real world I think ads are a blight, and so do the Swiss [1].

I do use sponsor block myself, though I have it disabled on certain channels because they actually show decent sponsors, like things that their audience might actually be interested in and they're not complete lies.
But there is absolutely no positive impact on my life from seeing the 624th ad for a VPN to "protect myself online".

The topic buying the votes isn't moon policy, it's that they're creating jobs. SLS was being given absurd sums of money for development well before Artemis was a thing.

Canceling SLS would mean losing jobs, yes. But that's not because of some sort of Boeing monopoly on space (they're obviously not a monopoly in that area), it's because the program is designed to be inefficient, with tons of 3rd party suppliers intentionally spread across the entire country, and tons of extra red tape to justify creating more jobs. They and other old school defense contractors specifically advertise these projects with the promise of creating jobs in all 50 states.

I'd disagree on the claim that the senators have fantastically small power on this matter, a single senator was capable of holding back in-space refueling tech for at least a decade under threat of canceling the entire space technologies program (because if you can refuel in space, even launching several medium lift disposable rockets is more efficient, and that'd mean no need for SLS, affecting jobs in his area).
I'd love to try one, but their price in my country (Australia) is absolutely bonkers. For the same money I could literally buy a perfectly usable secondhand car.

If it was at most, the same cost as a Macbook Pro or ideally a Macbook Air I might think about getting one.
Fair enough and thanks for pointing that out. Even that focuses on "adhere to NASA requirements" rather than "will it work". In between there's stuff like:

> DCMA also found that Boeing personnel made numerous administrative errors through changes to certified work order data without proper documentation

and

> Some technicians reported they had to hunt through layers of documentation to identify required instructions and documentation of work history and key decisions related to the hardware

It sounds like the focus is more on making documents and reading documents and complying with documents than "will this thing fly?"
Productivity is the sum of the aggregate output not just getting started.

If you're familiar with a tool, you might be able to "get something" a lot quicker with it than learn to use the correct tool, but on the long term, the correct tool pays off better.
I too cared once about technical excellence, and was burned badly.

Good code ships, even if it’s dogshit. Works for everyone else, fuck it.
in my case, I prefer to see that the code is calling functions, so that I'm aware that they take extra resources such as stack space and it's easy to quickly jump into the functions to find what they are doing. Code that uses op overloading is hard to navigate and sometimes causes intense debugging pain. Simplicity always beats fancy features imo.

> Fiction’s great trick, putting you inside other people’s minds, is one that no other art form can pull off. Cinema, video games, painting — all these are hopelessly stuck in the world of surfaces.

Huh, I hadn't through of it that way before, but I think that the author is far too quick to dismiss video games.

Sure, some video-game genres are simply not applicable (e.g. flight simulators) or have you as a floating observer, but a few--like books--let you "walk a mile in another's shoes."

Not only that, but they can do something extra that novels cannot: They can present the player with an emotional dilemma and make the player agonize over the choice and own the outcomes. The same is not true in books (outside choose-your-own-adventure types) because even if you empathize with the dilemma the character has you can just turn the page to see what the author has predetermined.

Gamedev in Go will require cgo (and not just the easy parts), which ups the complexity quite a bit, unless you're already very familiar with C.

I think it's pretty viable nonetheless, but more for the experienced developer with specific goals outside of the nice parts of common engines, or for a hobbyist who knows the language and wants to tinker and learn.
Why would that require them to do anything (except pull their app?)
So now we just have to rely on Google/Apple/cell-carriers to not hand over all the geofence data without a warrant. I'm sure the cops will be leaning _heavily_ on 3rd Party Doctrine next time they call up Google with their warrantless geofence data requests.
