It's still in beta. Also the market share for ColdFusion is pretty small and I imagine getting smaller every year. That said, how much do you think the market share will be for a programming language inspired by it?

It's better just to either pay Adobe the license fee for ColdFusion so that you know a company will be behind it and in the meantime start migrating over to python, .net or ruby.
This really should be a default though.
Great job on the website. You will go a long way. Good luck on your new venture.
I’d add to the other replies by saying that this isn’t just pure inefficiency - it’s the ability to try things and get them wrong without dying. Often several things. If one of them works out, maybe they justify the rest - just like investing in startups, ironically.

Second, it’s also about redundancy, having more employees covers you from key man syndrome where your operations could be adversely affected by an employee leaving. Even if it means you technically have more employees than you need at a bare minimum.

Third, I’d argue that the level of “efficiency” required by a startup simply isn’t sustainable in the long run, unless you want everyone to burn out. Successful companies likely span a spectrum of efficiency, but none of them need to be on the far efficient end like startups do, and that’s better for everyone working there.
I'm afraid math doesn't with that way. You would need to replace the $1 and $5 with something.

Considering i seem to be the minority here based on all the other responses the message you replied to, the answer i'd give is "by mine, i guess".

At least when i saw the "Building LLMs from the Ground Up" what i expected was someone to open vim, emacs or their favorite text editor and start writing some C code (or something around that level) to implement, well, everything from the "ground" (the operating system's user space which in most OSes is around the overall level of C) and "up".

Hmm I would call lazy loading the opposite of a sharp knife that requires skill.. you're not being explicit about database work. You're relying on the framework to bail you out where you've forgotten a fetch. And by default Django will do that silently so missing prefetches easily go undiscovered.

This is why most of the actually meaningful companies are "mission driven" (the phrase has been coopted).

That's how you obtain incentive alignment, when you genuinely believe that working hard as possible for the company is in pursuit of something greater.

This is impossible to do for yet another tax/hr/finance/billing startup, and why companies with big missions like SpaceX et al have no problem hiring.
The article you linked to says famine was declared in Sudan on 2017. But the situation on 2017 is different from nowadays (to keep it short, at least on 2017, Sudan had a president, and that means a lot in such a country)
> this is exactly the kind of job where a laptop is more efficient

You are correct, but I think efforts like this are an important part of discovering how we can make the tablet form factor useful for more types of productivity. Software design is an evolutionary process, and I think professional tablet software is still pretty stunted in that department. Largely down to Apple's endless resistance against allowing the iPad to be used as a computer rather than a media appliance.

The more stuff we get like this, the sooner we can collectively work out how to work around the shortcomings (no guaranteed keyboard, poor feature discoverability of touch-first UIs) and lean into the positives (handheld, ultraportable, direct manipulation).

It's crazy that we've had the iPad for 14 years and tablet computers in general much longer than that but we seemingly still haven't worked it out yet. It still feels like the only options are scaled up phone software (iOS, Android) or desktop software with a touch layer awkwardly bolted on (Windows).
Is there a reason why this isn't Nokia branded? It seems insane to me that HMD own the most respected phone brand in history and... just choose not to use it for some of their phones? I feel like I'm missing something about the HMD/Nokia situation here.
Not for legal purposes, it isn't. Unless you're arguing the morality of the Brazilian Constitution and the limits it imposes on freedom of speech in some scenarios, such as outlawing racism.

The judge doesn't care about the morality of his decision. He shouldn't care. He is there to decide what's lawful and unlawful based on the facts and on the law.
That's what the world tried with Germany after World War I.

There's a reason we stopped believing "just let sovereign nations sort themselves out" is the best approach. It's a pretty selfish reason.

Well the blog post said that some other wisdom was conventional wisdom, I'm not sure what the conventional wisdom he was pointing to is, I was just saying, people have known how to build, grow and manage enterprises for a little while now, I'm not sure why Ron Conway was so flabbergasted. Maybe he didn't make notes because he'd read some Patrick Lencioni. ;)

"I bought it for all my female friends and relatives. It enabled them, finally, to write things (although they may not yet know to do so on paper; but you can only expect so much, really)."
That is, to some extent, what happened in South Africa. Of course, the whites didn't give power over easily, and the road since has not been smooth. There's no reason to think the Rhodesians would have handed it over any easier, when the time came.

South Africa today is simultaneously a troubled place and yet doing well compared to many of its peers. Violent crime is very high, for example, but similar to 19th/early 20th century USA.

You keep saying “we”. Do you work for X, formerly Twitter? If not, who exactly are you? If you’re in any way related to the case or the companies or governments involved, there’s a major conflict of interest in this conversation and your defences. It’s good form to disclose those so that potential biases can be properly taken into consideration.
So you travelled 11 hours to Berlin in order to spend 9 hours there, then 12 hours to Vienna in order spend 14 hours there, then 11 hours to Venice? You would have been exhausted whatever mode of transport used.

For some reason Americans have a strong tendency to come up with these kinds of itineraries in the name of having a relaxing vacation, even though to any European it appears completely bonkers.
In my country, they had to tell govt officers to remember to check their email because agreements would be signed, and foreign officials would email relevant officers to start work and get no reply and get confused.

Turned out officers run their entire dept on Whatsapp.

Everything is adhoc, emails are in the old 2MB email, 50 MB inbox era, websites have not been updated since they were created and only page that gets changed is the organogram, (got to advertise the new minister in charge).

So no websites are NOT a reliable source of info. For example, there does infact exist a website to check loadshedding and work shutdown schedules... but my area was split off from a previous feeder and now has a new feeder code, but the website was not updated so I don't updated for my meter.

But I can check the twitter account and see tomorrow's shutdowns, and if I am regular, I can be prepped for tomorrow's 5 hr shutdown.

same for other things like road closures, due to protests or security corridor or whatever. Maybe other things, twitter is the best source of info.

Officers maintain an active twitter profile (despite the ban!) because ministers also are there, and they want their work to be visible.

If your boss sees the tweets of your work and people praising you in the comments, that improves your chances of a promotion and better postings.

This is an excellent option if you are willing to accept hundreds of millions of people will die in the process and that it will take a hundred years or more for that to happen. Development does not happen overnight and it takes a toll.

That being said, my impression is that the people leaning left in politics are strongly against non-interventionism. This means it will become a political issue in the countries that can help (or intervene), especially because most of these countries have a very strong left leaning. Sudan will become ammunition in electoral fights in elections, politics will win and interventions will happen just because of that, not because the interventionists care in any way about people of Sudan, they are just simple pawns on their chess board.
>Stop listening to what he says and pay attention to what he does. You’re being swindled.

I am paying attention to what he does. I use Twitter for hours every day.

The point is less about "free speech", because of course you're right, this is Musk's version of free speech.

But the real issue to the left is that he's allowing speech that, in recent history, has been considered "dissenting" or restricted. The fact that in the past week we have had Zuck come out and say Facebook was pressured to censor COVID19 materials and that we have mainstream politicians and bureaucrats calling to THROW MUSK IN JAIL is insane. Utterly insane.

The people behind this are getting found out, and there will be political consequences.

Show HN: I created an app to learn any language without effort for free
I moved to Denmark from Russia two years ago. I noticed that it's hard to learn Danish while living in Copenhagen because everyone speaks good English, and it's hard to find friends when you don't speak Danish.

I joined a public language school because it's free to study Danish for the first five years of residency. I didn't learn much because, apart from this public school, I didn't have anyone to practice Danish with.

I've created an app where you can speak with friends you already have, and you can all learn different languages because the app will translate it for you.

You can join the "Show HN" group chat that I created for this post to see how it works: https://app.fluent.im/invite/group/0iNwuVVIyhTc

p.s. I posted the old version of the app here some time ago. It was for solo study only, without chats and friends, which is the main focus of the new version.
With regards to central planning, neither China nor the US is fully in or out of it.

China still has Five Year Plans and some central planning, but Deng Xioping took steps away from it in the 1980s.

There's a mythology the US has no central planning, but it has had a lot of central planning since 1932 and certainly since 1941. Market makers watch for the presidentially nominated Powell to come out and announce the fed funds rate for our fiat currency, and the economy either speeds up or slows down in response. We are typing on a network the government paid BBN and other companies to create, on chips descended from the Fairchild chips that Air Force contracts funded. For various historical reasons, much of the central planning in the US is done via its very well funded military (then well funded military contractors pay think tanks and politicians to go out and say they're not so well funded)
Your characterization using the phrase "conventional wisdom" is demeaning.

I've found that a lot of wisdom PG passes on is novel, not 'conventional'; moreover the observation he offers is not something I would have been able to obtain through my own life experience, and I very much appreciate him putting his thoughts out into the world for us to learn from.
I used to put a lot of stock in texting with perfect spelling, punctuation and capitalization. Even with a T9 phone.

Eventually I got a cheap Nokia 9290, and it was heaven. My last (good) QWERTY phone was an E90 which was the perfect form factor.

I have loosened up since then and care less about writing properly while texting. I still want an E90 running Android.

(Side note: I had an Astro slide, and I wanted to love it, but the overall quality was not there)

I carefully reviewed all three of these articles. While it's possible that I still missed something, I did not find any material that aligns with the unique point of Paul's post. Nothing that says leaders may have to directly engage with employees underneath their direct reports to understand what is actually going on in the company.

It is perhaps possible to interpret these articles as saying anything whatsoever, but they don't seem to specifically say what Paul's article says.
>> ... from employees simply doing what was best for them and bad for the company, and most of them not even realizing or caring to think about the long-term consequences of their actions ...

I am confused. In the past decades free society is not the direction of the governments, things like free speech are regressing a lot in Anglophone countries (UK, Canada, Australia, New Zeeland) and even Germany. Are you talking about free society in terms of classical liberalism or modern governments that look more like China? Because Europe and down under are going in the direction of China, not freedom. So what do you want to see in Sudan, a China-like "democracy" or an US-style with 1st, 2nd and 4th amendments?
I believe it's something along the lines of "flagrant excision" (of established language conventions).

The resultant confusion from such communication innovations may be justifiable in service to a larger goal, e.g. making a clean cultural break from ancient lion-torturing Latin speakers.

Be the change you want to see. Et cetera, et alii.

Someone recently hinted at the opposite angle: Give them a lot of money and their motives would move to safeguarding their jobs, which results in a higher level of corporate politics.
This is true, but following this logic you can’t hold anyone responsible for any negative externalities of their business since nobody can solely be in control. That’s not the world I want to encourage.
The original spec didn't allow for anything but "dark on light" codes. The official spec has been amended a bunch of times, but it's not always clear what version of the QR code spec an app uses. If it stuck with the original from 2000, it can't scan inverted codes. The spec itself has been amended in 2006, but the full spec is proprietary and needs to be bought, so not everyone may have updated their code if they have the old spec on a network share somewhere.

At the time of the release of Turbo Pascal 3.x, the IDE's on the CP/M version and MS-DOS version were almost identical. I suspect that the author was using TP 4.x or later on MS-DOS.

Turbo Pascal on CP/M was a sweet spot among the development tools of the day. As the author describes, the IDE was very pleasant to use, compile-times were speedy, the generated code was compact, and the language implementation permitted a nice mix of high-level constructs with low-level access.

I would be interested in hearing about Wolfram Research too, if someome knows.
E-ink is special because it has basically no downsides when compared to paper. This makes it perfect for reading regular black and white books and for the vast majority of readers it's all they need. As soon as you try to do more, there are tradeoffs, like with anything else. I've never found a screen to be anywhere near as good as paper for writing (unless it comes with a keyboard, but even then it's not as good for drawing pictures etc). So it's just another device that might work for you, but might not. I can't see it replacing eink unless it has literally no downsides (including cost).

Elon spent about $100M on Skadden Arps lawyering after wanting to buy Twitter, not wanting to honor the airtight deal he signed, in which he waived dd, and then rage quitting a couple days before a trial was to begin. In that case Twitter spent a similar amount making Elon perform to the contract. That was all among consenting adults, and shareholders got what was promised. But it shows there is no constraint on what Elon will spend on a legal lost cause. There probably should be, like a federal anti-SLAPP law. Meanwhile I won't be on X and I won''t be driving a Tesla.
