Reed Hastings is also equally famous for having a rather non-traditional managerial style. Especially the "keeper test".

> If a person on your team were to quit tomorrow, would you try to change their mind? Or would you accept their resignation, perhaps with a little relief? If the latter, you should give them a severance package now and look for a star, someone you would fight to keep.

I agree with some of the other replies. That Hastings was very aware of two things
- He's not the best manager
- Corporate manager's are full of bs

IMO, the "keeper test" and some of the other famous and/or controversial policies at Netflix are a direct approach at avoid "manager mode".

… and once that was done, it started harassing me to install Windows 11. “Harassing” like full screen takeovers with buried “no thanks” buttons and secondary “ARE YOU SURE?” screens once I found and clicked the close buttons. That hasn’t stopped.

I had two herniated disks (T2/4) and one with a small fracture (T3). Clenching my jaw at night was leading to my SCM being tightened and applying pressure to the herniations, which was then causing imbalances in my upper back (which lead to the body correcting posture all the way down to your feet in a zig-zag manner) and also from my shoulder down to the wrist.

Mouth guard helps prevent too much pressure being applied to the neck, which gives pain relief all over.

As for soles, I had one foot that was facing outward while walking, which was identified by a physio to be due to hamstring tightness. But why is the hamstring tight? Automatic posture correction by my body! Since getting mouth guards, I've also been enjoying shoes with wide toeboxes and no rise too, which helped me correct my gait and reduce the impact on my hip.
It’s difficult in the sense that somebody consuming your class will sooner or later start relying on reflection to do something with it they shouldn’t (because they can), and then when you make a change in the future it will cause breakage downstream. Records solved this for some cases at least.

More important imo is that the standard collection classes can’t even be set to immutable with the final keyword. Sure you can use something else, but professionally you are going to have to deal with them most of the time still.
Yes. I'd like to have something that runs Docker images on desktop but doesn't require a privileged daemon, users, groups, etc.

How to you define memorization and reasoning? There is a large grey area in between them. Some say that if you can memorize facts and algorithms and apply them to new data, it is a memorization. Some say that it is reasoning.

More than that -- It's not clear that what humans do is not "just" a memorization. We can always look at human experience mechanisticly and say that we don't think -- we just memorized thinking patterns and apply them when speaking and "thinking"
at this point we can do it without the photon!
If you haven't, look around. Macintosh (was still called I believe?) 9 has (had?) a crazy following still. There was a fork of some old Firefox being updated and maintained up until 2-3 years ago. macos9lives.com is a site I have handy.
Was just about to post this. Apple heads tend to think that Mac is the default. Funny when you realise that the problem OrbStack is trying to fix is that MacOS isn't Linux.
A signature is a zkp. So your example is also a good example :)
I have been happily using OrbStack for a while now, and I've had nothing but good experiences. The UI is polished and responsive, the containers have great performance and nice integration with the host, and overall the product seems to be constantly pushing itself to be even better.

I admit my greatest confusion about this software is how a product that appears to be a one-man show so quickly became more compelling than the well-funded incumbent (Docker Desktop). This is even more impressive considering that the developer appears to be a college student.

Hats off, this is amazing work.

Why did I always had impression that decompressing data is much faster than reading inflated data off disk? Like, if you need to read just 5MB and decompress it would take less time than just to read 10MB off a disk, for example, but this article kinda states the otherwise.
I’m curious how orbstack is able to achieve the performance they claim.
I think this is just due to the slow death of organized religion. There was no way for a temple builder to survive in their primary business. Otherwise, they had an extraordinary run. Wish governments supported such companies as cultural legacies.

> I struggle to see "founder mode" as something that scales. Is there not some self-selection bias occurring here, given the audience "included a lot of the most successful founders we've funded"?

That's what the article is about. The "common knowledge" is that it doesn't scale at all, that as soon as you become an established company you need professional managers. Paul provides counterexamples that prove it can scale and when it does it benefits the company immensely. He is hesitant to recommend this management mode outright because he doesn't know:

- what exactly do these founders do that makes their management more effective than business administration
- what the limits of founder management are
- how to trace the limits across the org chart
> C++ is relatively easy to read

Only if you suffer from a very high level of stockholm syndrome, that is. Rust's syntax is vastly clearer than C++ in basically all circumstances.
I’ll let the actual developer respond but OrbStack has several people working on it now.
Unfortunately the SSO tax isn’t the worst. Most companies pay for it anyway.

In my experience (as in IC), the real issue is when the company don’t want to pay enough seats for everyone.

Honestly sometimes it makes sense when you don’t use the tool everyday but it’s a PITA.

I think, maybe, that SaaS companies should reflect on a (capped) per-day billing for those accounts.
Isn't there a distinction here?

You can use AI models to help create content. What about something like object selection or object removal?

In post Czechoslovakia if you moved out of your hometown, you lost valuable networks. Healthcare and childcare were always connection based - you needed to know the local doctor, teacher, homebuilder - to get connected with specialists, skip the queues, get preferred treatment, faster processing of documents, etc. Once you part with your network, you start to build new one from scratch which takes many years. Unlike in US which is more market based - as long as you have the money you can recreate similar lifestyle elsewhere in the country.

Second, there was never really a need to rush to move to another location offering better opportunities. As consequence of the 1990s policies the local capital vanished into the hands of western entities and with it the opportunities worth moving for. The post 2000 capital which moved to the region just found spots with cheap labor to build new factories or logistic centers to keep the German powerhouse running. With an unfair advantage of cheap eastern energy, cheap eastern workers across the border and cheap euro currency as a result of sharing it with the unproductive european south.

I often find myself reaching for the term "anticipatory anhedonia": When someone doesn't feel happiness looking forward to things that are coming.

Oh, they might be happy during the activity, and they might abstractly know that they'll enjoy it a lot, the gut-reaction during the planning phase is that it's a to-do item that might be a big hassle.
It might be that someone sent a message and then deleted it.

Yes, Gleam and Rust are very different in the use-cases they address, performance etc. They share superficial syntax, which is why people think they're similar. The other main similarity is a focus on sum-types and pattern matching, which people associate with Rust but is really an ML borrowing. That's really where the similarities end.

I enjoy both. Rust for its performance and close-to-metalness, Gleam for its delightful simplicity. It really is a tiny language, and very tastefully designed.

What’s the security model for OrbStack and its containers?

Is OrbStack rootless? Where is the security boundary for the containers? (Are they sandboxed completely from the host?)

How does the virtualisation work? (I’d assume Virtualization.framework, so I can run it without Rosetta if all containers will share host architecture?)

Does it support Docker-in-Docker and Docker-out-of-Docker? (M1 and M2 Mac’s don’t have hardware for nested virtualisation so I assume this also prevents DiD with OrbStack?)

Thanks in advance, eager to try it out.

Show HN: I built a free tool for breaking down tasks into manageable subtasks
Hi HN!
First time posting. I created a tool for my Autistic son who is in high school junior battling severe ADHD symptoms. His difficulties include;
1. Time blindness
2. Lack of executive functioning skills
3. Task initiation issues

These three were severely affecting his grades. We had a consultation with a Developmental Psychologist who prescribed Concerta that improves his ability to focus in class. In addition he also has the boilerplate ADHD accommodations(2X time on tests and quiet place to take the test). These collectively improved his test taking abilities. But, when it came to his completing his assignments and other submissions "ontime", he is left to his devices.

I realized after observing him closely(with his consent :-)), that his real problem was that, the task at hand was overwhelming him. He didnt know how to go about piecing the various sub-tasks that went into completing that task at-hand. For example, for one of his literature class; he had to write a term paper on the book "Rosencrantz and Guildernstern are dead". This was very over-whelming for him which prevented him from starting on-time.

I created www.voxtodo.com to help him;
1. Manage his workload - Break down his tasks into sub-tasks
2. Plan his work sessions- sign-in using google credentials and lets him load the tasks into his Google calendar
3. Track his progress - Setup alerts(custom alert frequency) to receive alerts on his Phone/PC wherever he is working
4. Stay organized - He can close out the task within the app which then removes the task from calendar and removes the alerts. That gives him a big high knowing he completed a task from his todo-stack.
4. Track time spent- Each subtask has timers that he can start and stop. And there is a dashboard view where he can view metrics on which task he spent the most time on.

Here is a snap-shot of one of his working session;
https://imgur.com/a/nf1FpkA

I tried it on one of my own tasks, where I am trying to recreate the Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models from scratch and it gave me these steps to follow through;

Would love for you to try the app and recommend it to others. Would it equally appreciate any bugs. i have tested in on all major browsers, but there might be some lurking bugs somewhere.
If you have a specific feature request, i have a repo where I am collecting them. Here is the issues template;

My training is as a mechanical engineer, but I switched to software because it paid a lot better. I did not have a formal education in computer science, but my abilities as a mechanical engineer made the transition fairly easy.

In my younger days, the best programmers were usually physicists.

I mean pretty much every app is likely to operate over http, and that’s the

Recently saw some interesting AMD Ryzen motherboards with integrated Zen4 laptop CPU on AliExpress.

Then I saw one of the sellers had a note that the processor would not show model number, so you had to look up the serial number to determine model, and it'd benchmark 10% slower.

The "to record an event" meaning of logging does in fact originate from wooden logs, which were used to calculate the speed of a ship under sail. A log, tied to a fathom-line, was cast off the stern, and the number of knots which passed through the sailors hands in a measured time interval determined the speed. This was recorded as "log", in what came to be known as the "ship's log". The term came to be used for event recording in general. This was used as a component of "dead reckoning" (that is, deduced reckoning of position) in navigation, prior to the development of accurate time-keeping and direct position reporting through LORAN, radar-navigation, and ultimately GPS. Dead reckoning was not especially accurate and had some rather notorious failure modes.

This directly inspired the Longitude Rewards prizes for developing accurate navigational methods (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude_rewards>) and John Harrison's invention of a marine clock (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harrison#Longitude_proble...>).

More recently, the Honda Point disaster in which the US Navy, 1923 saw the loss of 7 destroyers at flank speed of 20 knots off the Santa Barbara coast: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Point_disaster>.

It's interesting to note that advances in timekeeping typically translate to improvements in location determination.

Gleam compiles very fast - I believe the language has been designed in part to enable this. No context-dependent grammar, etc.

They have an architecture overview here: https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture
The article states a "net-positive energy result", not necessarily a faster time for this specific optimization. They say GZIP decompression is energy-intensive, so while the combination of read + decompress may be faster, the CPU load during decompression and memory relocation of the decompressed data ultimately consumes more energy than reading an uncompressed kernel and running it directly.
One place I wish there was zero knowledge proofs involved, or even any kind of cryptography, is when you perform credit assessment for loans outside your bank: an external loan provide peeks at your full bank account history to assess whether you’re eligible. They don’t need to know where I buy my socks, or even how much money I have. Only that I have a big enough deposit and a steady enough cashflow.

Rust for Linux maintainer steps down in frustration with 'nontechnical nonsense'
Maybe it’s just me, but the idea of starting a company that exists 1,000 years into the future is much more exciting than building a startup in a trendy industry, getting acquired for big bucks, and never being heard of again.
Love to hear that. We're actually a small team at OrbStack now!
What the breaking up of companies does is reallocate the resources of an inefficient company to more efficient uses. Free markets are not steady state - they are a chaotic system constantly creating, disassembling, and reallocating resources.

A bit "off" the off-topic point.

- I'm not really sure Stadia can be called a "technical achievement at scale". Mainly because it didn't achieve all that much scale to begin with. Definitely a technical achievement in cloud gaming. But the implementation at scale is something that I now see Sony and Xbox working toward (along with their console partners - hardware and software).

- Youtube, definitely, given the content base, the number of active users at literally anytime, is a monumental achievement. But so are a bunch of porn websites. And I know the porn industry doesn't have a good rep. Even in engineering. Still, porn sees more active users than Youtube and netflix combined, albeit, on a bunch of different websites, but a few large enough websites that are comparable to Youtube in terms of active users, and catalogue size. Also, these companies manage to host all of this content and delivery it all over the world on a much smaller budget than Youtube. Not to take away any of Youtube's achievements, but from a technical point of view, I do think the porn industry wins. To begin with, porn streaming is older than youtube, but quite a few years actually. Additionally, from what I've heard, some of the popular live streams on OnlyFans (and similar websites) see more concurrent viewers than most YouTube live streams.
It's because Rosetta doesn't seem to emulate /proc/cpuinfo, so the contents reflect that of the arm64 host.

I’ve also encountered this problem using various tree-sitter grammars. I would love a data set that showed various implementations for different languages, along with some kind of consistent test coverage for each language that shows compatibility versus the compiler’s parser. And, of course, links to precompiled wasm modules. Basically, a tree-sitter package manager.
Adding a way to query the path at the current node would let you skip out on doing stuff like keeping track of `in_section`.

I wonder if the `enter|exit ...` syntax might be too limiting but for a lot of stuff it seems nice and easy to reason about. Easier than tree-sitter's own queries.

I think if you really wanted performance and whatnot, you might end up compiling the queries to another target and just reuse them.

I could see myself writing a lua DSL around compiling these kinds of queries `enter/exit` stanzas or an SQL one too.
It's basically and edgelord trope to bring up Einstein as an example of this kind of behavior. Kids with these conditions aren't all genuises in waiting.

Rebelling against all of the authorities is pathological. All authorities aren't illegitimate.
Nice article. I think all of their choices make sense. I also imagine that given that it's based on RocksDB the overhead of CGo would also be eliminated, which might be important in saving CPU in their case.
