If you are the smartest guy in the room, you are in the wrong room. Interview and get a job elsewhere. While you may not easily find an ideal direct mentor even in a company with great senior+ engineers, you will get experience through osmosis. Staying where you are would be a mistake. I almost did that, and in retrospect it definitely would have been.

For the sake of recognizing a hill I too would be proud to die on, and so you know there are others who feel the same: I agree with you.

I like to think the negative feedback you are receiving is due to the ambiguity, and so, the multitude of definitions for “intelligence” that each of us has.

I know I have met people who others have touted as “intelligent” that I thought were too deplorable to be given such an accolade.

I am with you, one of my measures of intelligence is how one recognizes the collective fate of all life.

Debating such a subject leaves me with too much ire to articulate sufficiently so I will lean on the eloquence of Martin Luther King Jr:

My experience has been different. Rails is good for everything from small internal projects to larger, enterprise level projects. Like all languages and frameworks, it requires discipline and good practices for the code to remain robust and maintainable, but functionally I’m not aware of anything that fits what you describe in your second paragraph.

> Do not let yourself fall behind.

That hit home. I'm afraid I was one of those lazy math undergrads who struggled with a few of the first year topics, didn't get help or put the hours in and never really recovered. I will maintain I think the teaching was very poor in places (lots of "just trust me" handwashing and "this is obvious so I'll leave it to you to complete" which for an 18 year old frankly sucks). A system that lets you get 30% in "analysis 1" and then just marches you straight into "analysis 2" next semester and expects you to just pull your socks up isn't much of a system to me. Honestly I'm afraid my time at university doing maths was miserable. I should have done something more applied like engineering or CS probably.

Someone once told me "If you like biology at school, do psychology at university. If you like chemistry, do biology. If you like physics, do chemistry. If you like maths, do physics and if you like philosophy, do maths". I should have listened.
"Cerebral decomposition disorder" does have a certain ring to it.
Microsoft Access definitely took off. It was certainly more popular than the new crop of no-code/low-code platforms we have today. In the late-90s and early 2000s almost every large company seems to have had Access applications running in several different corners of the business.

The reason Access eventually died off is that it wasn't designed as a multi-user database. You could run Access on a network file share but performance would suffer (especially with concurrent access by multiple users), and you'll be running the risk of database file corruption. Microsoft Access did support a client-only mode, where Access is used for the forms, queries and application code, but the actual data is stored in Microsoft SQL Server — but setting up and maintaining a database server was probably too complicated for the type of contexts in which Access became popular.

The key point is that most of the usage of low-code products in the past was basically an instance of Shadow IT. In order for a Shadow IT product to be successful it generally needs to be easy to use, easy to distribute (or access) and have a capable free (or effectively free) version. Access and Excel had it all. They were easy to use for beginners (although complex applications required skill). Distribution was extremely simple in the corporate intranet age: you just had to place your Excel or Access file on a network share. They were part of Microsoft Office, so everybody had them on their computer "for free". If a product fulfills the conditions above, entrepreneurial employees will start using this product to address viable needs that your IT department lacks the resources to solve with a more robust solution.

Often these Access apps became popular enough that it had to be officially taken by the IT department, where IT programmers invariably cursed the buggy hack of an application they had to maintain. I don't know the statistics, but I assume a great number of these would just be rewritten as a traditional client/server or web application.
Except we didn't. Instead of 500 channels we don't want, we have 10 services with 50 channels. We've managed to actually find the worst of both worlds, which in of itself is an impressive accomplishment.
The end-to-end encryption part is clear IMO: it's between the hub and the app, both of which are trusted. This is different from an untrusted server decrypting the messages.
> And to echo your argument: in familiar environments those shortcuts are often a good idea!

Only to continue to reaffirm the original post, this was some of the basis for my dissertation. Lower-level practice, or exposure to tons of interactive worked examples, allowed students to train the "mental muscle memory" for coding syntax to learn the more general CS concept (like loops instead of for(int i = 0...). The shortcut in this case is learning what the syntax for a loop looks like so that it can BECOME a shortcut. Once its automatic, then it can be compartmentalized as "loop" instead of getting anxious over where the semicolons go.

Keep in mind that this bust was a paid subscription service. That’s how they were netting €250 million per month.

The hypothetical damages amount is moot. They were charging a specific amount of money and people were paying it. That amount was high enough that you can completely ignore any inflated estimates and they were still doing a huge amount of criminal business.
There's probably some strange math going on here, like 1 view = 1 lost subscription.
This is why I think multitenancy is the more important problem (though both are related), because it's the key to solving shared-kernel application permissions without "users". Containers were a step in the right direction but aren't a sufficient security boundary in themselves - what is currently handled by the "container runtime"/sandbox needs to be built into the kernel IMO.

Show HN: A community-driven bookmarking website for early-stage SaaS Founders
I'm Prashant and just released 0.4 version of SaaS Experts.

SaaS Experts categorize and list the most useful resources for early-stage SaaS Founders to make them succeed.

I felt the need for such a website as I worked on my previous SaaS product.

I'm building in public and using Softr and Airtable to release this.

I'm also building in public and so far I'm able to complete below:
- Created pages to list resources by category. Communities, YouTube Channels, Podcast, Newsletters, Books, Marketing Agencies, UI/UX Agencies, Dev Agencies, Starter kits, and blogs are listed so far with 10-12 entries in each page
- Added about, story, launches, and roadmap pages
- Added a page to contribute and received 5 contributions from the community so far

In the next release, I will be working on:
- Events - listing upcoming events useful to the saas founders.
- Launchpad - A free consulting and guidance on the MVP/project that saas founders want to start.

I would love to get some feedback and ideas from the community. Try it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks for the info! Didn’t know they moved on.
Yeah, I’m saying it doesn’t even handle in-process concurrent writes very well, let alone distributed ones.
The best I can offer you: read books (Prag Prog is great), and read technical blogs (HN is great). That won't be the same as having a series of progressively more competent mentors, but it gets you most of the way with about double the work.

Different concept. Enshittification implies an original state that is better. Meanwhile, most of the stuff that we consider brainrot are actually pretty well made.

> This goes to show people are sick of having to buy 5-10 services just to see all their things, they'd rather get a single pirate stream with them all.

I don’t understand this desire to do mental gymnastics to ignore the elephant in the room:

The primary driver for these people was not convenience. Pirate services are flakey, don’t always have the content you want, have quirky content, and generally require some work to navigate. These people weren’t seeking convenience.

They signed up because it was cheap. They wanted to save money and they’d give up some of the polish and convenience of a mainstream app and service to save that money.
Creating Synthesizer Patches for OP-XY in ChatGPT
I've been playing around with a music synthesizer and sequencer that just came out.

I noticed while uploading new presets to the OP-XY that the presets themselves are in a .JSON file format. The fields in the JSON are fairly self-evident, though the devil is in the details and you'd have to consult the user guide to figure out certain enums.

I also spoon fed the official User Guide into Notebook LM and kinda ping ponged between it and Chat GPT O-1 to write a technical spec for the JSON format.

I tested it out by giving it the script of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIfssnYO6Hs (essentially a tutorial on a specific synth engine within the device) and asking it to come up with a JSON file that is similar to the one described around the 1-2 min mark of the video. It tried and when I uploaded it to my device and played it, I was astounded to see it mimics very closely the bass in the video. That made my jaw drop.

I tried another prompt where I asked it:

```
please create a pluck patch. It should sound a bit like the plush in Kygo's Firestone. Almost like a steel drum a little bit. It should sound very tropical house. Give it to me as JSON for a preset.
```

It produced a valid patch file. Indeed it did sound very steel drum like and would fit with tropical house. It didn't really understand how to get the envelop of a pluck right, so it may need some fine tuning. And it's not clear how much it really understands.

I burned all my Chat GPT o-1 quota playing with this, but will mess with it more next week. I'm very curious if you could give it enough information so it could actually design a whole ensemble of presets that would play well together.

If you want to play with this yourself, I saved off the entire draft file specification and some initial tips on how to sound design a patch (very crude and needs work). You can copy/paste it into Chat GPT or Claude Anthropic and play with it yourself. https://gist.github.com/kmorrill/898579c18df24ac5094f691cd411d741
Then you better stop wasting time on places like HN.

If you’re looking for a quick and efficient way to build a web application without having to worry about customization limits, code ownership and recurring fees, then you should check PagePalooza.

PagePalooza can used to build a small SaaS web-app with a core feature or addition to an informative website or a complete MVP that can scale without boundaries.

Step 1:
After signing-up, you kick start the project by generating an informative website from a single prompt. You could also claim one of the pre-built themes.

Step 2:
Edit your generated website or claimed theme. You can change colors, replace images, edit text, add pages and navigation your self.

Step 3:
On PagePalooza you have no customization limits. That is achievable by visiting your projects “Engineering Tasks” tab. On that page you can create new tasks to be implemented

The Palooza engineers will view the task and will convert it into a quote. If you are building an MVP and not just a small feature or change, the Palooza engineers can also create tasks for you and that will appear in your dashboard.

Step 4:
The palooza engineers will convert the task to a quote and you pay a one-time fee for each task. You can also post comments and chat with the Palooza engineers in the task detail page. A 40% initiation fee is required for the implemented to progress.

The custom tasks will get implemented on top of the website you originally created and edited. This process enables you to build an MVP task by task and scale at your own pace and at your own budget. There are no limits to customizations and you own all the customized quote.

The task manager enables you to know the software engineer and get on calls to understand how you exactly want a feature if needed. The software engineers are also there for support with building a new feature. Discussing features with the engineer and understanding your long term goals with your app could lead to discounted tasks. What I mean by that is that sometimes you could just use an excel as a database instead of having to build a full backend API and a database.
Not OP, but also used the API for music discovery, crawling the related artists network from playlists I'd created to find highly connected nodes. I found that strategy was very efficient at filling blind spots in major genres I listened to, and reasonably good at exploring random niches, but generally wasn't the place I found songs that felt truly fresh to me. It felt like it got noticeably worse about 5 years ago, when I perceived them to have ramped up the payola, but that might just be in my head.
I'm not saying it'd be good for HBO to do that, only that they could. Regardless of whether or not they should, edge cases like GoT's success should not control the outcome for everyone and everything else.
Most of those 500 were paying to be carried, not the other way around.

My point was how our most serious issues are with memory management that exists in popular type-strict languages and so type safety is not up there in importance compared to the biggest causes.
I’d love to see how those new options perform these days by replicating a large tumblr blog or instagram feed. Might be a fun project.
> Wat. Do you think that's an either-or choice?

Often worse -- in many markets a buyer will pick whichever available option has a plurality of their preferences. Most buyers are going to prioritize the location, size, and permanent qualities of the home, and that's going to narrow them down to a short-list of options. Major renovations tend to affect the price of a house somewhat, but the quality of individual appliances typically does not, because they are easily changed and account for maybe 1% of the value of a home. Even a home without appliances entirely will tend to sell just as fast and for prices similar to other homes.
I hope the Amazon retail and fulfillment operations are separated.
What an incredibly misleading headline
Bicameral, Not Homoiconic
> Navigating between the X services available to find 'thing you want to watch' is frustrating, time consuming, and expensive.

Apple TV and other TV boxes have aggregated services for a long time now. You can search for content across providers from one interface.

Pirate streaming sites aren’t exactly known for their quality, consistency, reliability, and ease of use. I bet it was more frustrating to use the pirate service, especially for those dealing with subtitles and alternate audio.

This really does come down to expense.
wait until 18.2, it'll be more disappointing: image generation is limited, mail has stupid categorization, webkit is buggy, Siri is the only thing does not get worse bc it can't be any.

If someone formatted this opinion into a blog post highlighting why the UI is worse while providing counterexamples and stuff, it would have a lot more value.
> "If you like biology at school, do psychology at university. If you like chemistry, do biology. If you like physics, do chemistry. If you like maths, do physics and if you like philosophy, do maths"

This is good advice if the objective is to do well regarding grade results.
If you want to get down to the bottom of things, to understand everything and to solve fundamental questions of science, you might well want to invert the advice:

If you liked biology, study chemistry, for the processes of life are (electro-)chemical processes.

If you liked chemistry, study physics, for the processes of molecules and atoms, their formation and reactions, are physical processes.

Having used few “lesser” VCSes I am not so sure I’d call Git elegant. It just became famous and defacto VCS of the Internet - a lot of that credit must go to Github (which also was and is used a lot by comps and teams). Something like Markdown — one day everyone and their kittens were just using it which is not necessarily not a compliment.

I had created 2-3 char git submodule related aliases. Git submodule exists because a better alternative isn’t available (which gives us same behaviour or close to it).

That doesn't pass as an excuse to lie to the people because Trump or someone else is also doing it. We have fact checkers for this regardless.

The Democrats campaigned on being the better party, a new clean slate and to move on and persuaded voters to not vote for the convicted felon (Trump). Yet he still won the election.

My point is Biden should have just told the press that he will pardon his son, instead of repeatedly saying that he would not and then goes and does it anyway.

Is it fair to say that he lied to everyone and also what else are they lying to us about?

I would trust her general judgment based on a complex list of factors, including my own personal experience and how my own understanding of the world aligns with hers. I'm exercising my own judgment honed over time.
The main problem is that category theorists keep writing stuff claiming that, if only you get through the math, you'll eventually be able to apply the category theory to typical everyday programming problems. And by the time they get to the Yoneda lemma or whatever, they've forgotten they're supposed to show some applications. All they show is how to express category theoretical concepts in a program. And it is mostly because the demonstrated applications are few (I have spent a lot of time looking and have found little convincing evidence).

Having learned the subject myself, I'm not convinced it's useful for programmers. Hell, it's not even useful for all areas of mathematics, and that is its raison d'etre.
Because it is working code. Not just talk.

So technically in linguistics, the spoken language is considered the ground truth while the way the language is written is just a crude representation of the spoken language.

What this implies is that a space being used between two tokens doesn't actually make it two words. You can still consider that to be one word.

(Also, if you wanna go even more meta, there isn't even a widely agreed upon definition for what a word even is in linguistics!)
It's equal (as in, comparing them with == is true), but they are not the same value. At least in IEEE 754 floats, which is what most languages with floating point numbers use. E.g., in JS:

> 1 / -0
-Infinity
> 0 === -0

> Object.is(0, -0)
