This is the model that most tech companies who say they are founded on the basis of "helping the world to do X" should adopt. Major Kudos to the Ghost founders for actually following through on their ideals rather than playing lip service to them until the big money flows in, like so many others. And you know, this model is not for everyone and that's fine, but if you're not planning on following through then drop the bullshit idealism from the start and just plainly come out with "we're here to make as much money as possible". (Looking at you, Altman, and many others.)

> you can't set the resolution

You keep saying that, but you can set the resolution though. I set the resolution every time I export from iMovie. You’re telling me it doesn’t have an option I’ve used every single time I’ve opened the app.

Your complaint is not that you can’t set the resolution, your complaint is that it doesn’t have the options you want.

There is a reason: ISO-8859-9 is an extended ASCII character set. The shared characters are not an accident, they are by definition the same characters. Most ISO character sets follow a specific template with fixed ranges for shared and custom characters. Interpreting that i as anything special would violate the spec.

> it feels like something they'd be well-positioned to seriously take on if they invested heavily in it.

I agree, but history just proved that Apple does not care.

And let's be real: Photoshop is cross-platform, and lots of content creation software is cross platform (or a web app). There are many more content creators that use Windows than people here are aware of or want to acknowledge (on HN, sometimes you get the impression that Windows is a forgotten OS that nobody uses). Now, Apple is at a huge disadvantage for losing that market -- often you can only be a big player if you have enough users. Apple also is never known for putting apps on the web like Figma and doesn't appear to have plan to do so.

A similar example is the iWork suite. It exists, but neither users nor Apple seem to care about it.

In the end, they just kind of development native Mac OS software half-mindedly. Which is fine -- that's what they want to do.

Man, I don’t think this will be good for users.

The biggest shortcoming of Pixelmator is its lack of Windows support. This rules out use in most of the professional world, not because one must run Windows, but because one must collaborate with others. Pixelmator has long been Apple-centric, but while previously I’d hoped that, in the right situation, they might expand their strategy, now I can’t imagine I will ever be able to use Pixelmator for work.

Its second biggest shortcoming is the plugin ecosystem’s apathy towards it. Apple doesn’t have it in their DNA to fix this. Apple’s developer relations strategy is to own a lucrative enough audience that developers will endure anything for access to them. Apple doesn’t own the audience for professional image editor plugins, and I can’t imagine them suddenly learning a whole new mode of interacting with developers.

Additionally, when a company acquires a much smaller one, they really don’t care at all about the smaller one’s business, they care about how their existing business is affected. For example, when Apple acquired Dark Sky, they transplanted the features that fit into their existing strategy, but they weren’t interested in crowd sourced data or Android weather apps, so they just deleted it, and now the world’s weather forecasts are worse. Maybe, hopefully, Apple believes their walled garden’s value will be increased by the addition of a Pixelmator-like product. But I fear it’s more likely they just want to stick layers in Photos, delete the rest, lose every Pixelmator customer, and cry a fraction of a tear equal to Pixelmator’s profits divided by their own.

Affinity sold out, too. I don’t know where to go at this point.

yeah the transiency thing is huge. I think a big part of that is young people moving away from their home city for university and then for a job. It really breaks up the social fabric at an important stage and replaces it with uni friends and work friends. I find there is a bit less of that here because people are a bit more likely to get into the trades/small business so schooling doesn't uproot them as much.
The difference walking makes is interesting to me because rural communities are obviously not that walkable, though I guess as a kid I could bike to my friends' place (2km).
I really don't get the appeal of suburbs, I think they might just be a reaction to failures in cities, and companies inability to set up shop where their workers/customers are. I've heard of people who drive in 1:30 - 2:00 to their workplace in a major urban center, why wouldn't the companies just move out to where they live, drop their wages by 10% and everyone would have more time/money. So yeah, true suburbs make no sense, the only reason people choose them is because cities get expensive and/or scummy.

Jetbrains IDEs (Webstorm, PHPStorm, RubyMine, etc., or IntelliJ is the superset of all of them). Been using them for a decade and they are simply amazing. VSCode with a dozen plugins can kinda sorta replicate some of the functionality, but the Jetbrains stuff is just so much better integrated.

The UI is pretty cluttered and archaic though, and some simple things (like running the current file, or seeing the current npm scripts) are harder than they should be, and takes more steps than in VScode. But once you get the hang of it, there is soooo much power and time-saving features that VScode doesn't natively have.

The Jetbrains plug-in ecosystem also isn't quite as rich as VScode's, but it's there.

Their pricing is also very fair (it's a subscription, but the subscription gets cheaper if you keep it more than 1 year, up to like a 40% discount I think, and you can keep the last version you paid for even after you unsub just without further updates).

I love love love their stuff and it's the only software I'm truly happy to pay for.

All the web developers I've worked with in the last four years understand the concept of a bottom type, even if they've never been introduced to the formal phrase, because `never` is the explicit bottom type in TS and appears all the time. You can't go very long consuming libraries written in TS before you run into it, at which point you become familiar with it.

Similarly, a function that accepts (explicitly) `A | B | (C & D)` and then dispatches to functions that accept `A | (C&D)` vs `B` is, you guessed it, type algebra and is a common pattern in hot paths through every TS codebase.

Just because the formal nomenclature is unknown does not mean the concepts are unfamiliar.

I think there is some merit to that idea. It is not perfect, but it is a potential red flag.

I experienced something similar a couple weeks ago when I went to a local dermatologist for a skin cancer screening. The office was gorgeous. Top of the line everything, spacious, just incredible.

When the doctor came in, he was a whirlwind - he glanced at my back, the fronts of my arms, and my face ... then pronounced me in perfect health and "see you again next year!"

He billed my insurance just under $300 for an exam that took under 5 minutes (including the consult with his nurse to point out anything I was worried about) and was worth almost nothing.

A skin exam shouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes, but if the doc doesn't bother to look at your scalp, or the inside of your mouth, the soles of your feet, etc ... it is not really screening for much.

$100/minute is why his office was magnificent. What a scam.

There is no incentive to be truthful currently, among democracies the seems to be most powerful in the US with Trump able to lie and there seemingly be no counter for it.

With old regulated media there was (is?) the legacy of the organisation and the idea it was "trustworthy" on the line for the journalists that work for it. So they have an incentive to be truthful, and hopefully an idea that publishing lies is not a good moral choice.

With the personality driven journalism that emerges from the internet there is less incentive to be truthful, such personalities can be very successful using populism alone to play to their audience.

> Pixelmator was one of the apps that was extremely-tightly-integrated with Apple's APIs and ecosystem

While I can understand that companies want to build cross platform applications, something like Pixelmator shows us what can be done if you take advantage for the platform you're targeting. We're not seeing that often enough anymore.

The few other times I've seen code that truly uses the operating system and APIs it's mostly been server software. It's not unique to macOS either, Windows provide a ton of APIs as well.
Guys do you all realize this is why our modern work from home zoom era of meetings all day is silly and why nothing is getting done anymore? We get all these same benefits from working in an office together. This thread is a Gell-Mann Amnesia generator. Everyone says online conferences are stupid and then doesn’t see how absurd it is to say working the other 51 weeks of the year that way makes sense.
Same, but I feel like most people aren’t going to read it, and I’m unsure of its use when there may be no accountability for it. Especially considering responses can be automated “thanks for applying” and also take months for rejections.
We all live in our own bubbles. I never saw a tech person using MacOS, it's always Windows or Linux - I assume that's not your experience either (and I only know a few people using MacOS privately). That probably mostly depends on the country one resides in.

Role: Senior Software Engineer

Company: Tomorrow, a pre-seed, stealth, next-gen kitchen appliance company

Location: Seattle, WA (full time ON-SITE - Lower Queen Anne)

Comp: Competitive compensation and equity package for very early stage startups.

Company background:
A small team - 4 people - working on fusing some novel food storage science with some cool hardware and software to offer a physical product that is truly a step-function better than any of the other devices in its category. The company is about two years old - most of that time spent in R&D but we've recently shifted gears towards productizing said research. We are currently self-funded by our CEO, who previously founded a local Seattle unicorn, but do expect to raise venture funding.

This role:
In the short term, this role will be focused primarily on iterating on the UX of our PWA prototype, building our production mobile app in React Native, adapting our existing infrastructure as we scale into alpha and beta, and building out the on-device experience. We are looking for someone who is excited to work iteratively, and is just as happy tweaking margin spacing as they are building new APIs and managing data transfer between edge devices and our servers. You'll have significant ownership over our technical stack and direction, and many opportunities to explore and learn new technologies.

Technologies we're currently using:
We do not expect candidates to be an expert in, or even familiar with, every technology on this list - just to be interested in learning the ones they aren't familiar with (although we are prioritizing candidates with deep experience in technologies with an asterisk):
- React Native*
- Node*
- Preact
- Kubernetes/Helm
- Docker
- AWS
- Python
- Terraform
- Working with LLMs

To apply, please email me (zachary@edesia.ai) your LinkedIn and a few sentences about you and your background.
If you take it literally, there is a non-zero chance that a monkey types the entire works of Shakespeare. I mean, it has already happened: who is Shakespeare but an intelligent monkey? (don't tell the librarian...)

For that to happen again, a monkey has to evolve into an intelligent specie interested in human history, find the complete works of Shakespeare, and write it. It is more likely than using probabilistic arguments using letter frequencies, or actual monkeys[1].

Except abiogenesis didn't occur on Earth in few billion years, but within half to billion years after Earth was habitable. All the other features of life have taken four billion years to arise through evolution. It is like looking at current cars and wondering how they could come from nothing where had to look at the original cars and hundred years of improvement.

Abiogenesis really only need to explain how the first life arose. It could have been really simple since it got out competed by more sophisticated descendant that took over planet and left no trace of original life. We don't know how it happened, if required lots of random chance or if there was a replication step that made if go faster. We know that evolution can make complicated stuff over time.
