> Population is peaking soon which should be a good start for flattening that curve.

It might help but most of the world is still considered "in development", we need for that development to happen with sustainable energy sources, and for that it needs to be as simple and cheap to be harvested and used as it is for those countries to use fossil fuels today.

If that doesn't happen then these countries will use fossil fuels to develop, and the population peaking won't be of much help when those countries start emitting more per capita like many developed countries.

Embark: Dynamic documents for making travel plans
It’s the difference between residents and citizens being eligible to apply. Actually, restricting non-resident citizens from applying could violate their rights.
I’m a solo founder myself, and here’s what’s worked for me so far:

Start with the Basics: I spent some time wrapping my head around the fundamentals. Books like "Influence" by Cialdini, "Crossing the Chasm" by Geoffrey Moore, and "The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing" by Ries & Trout helped me get a grip on core concepts like positioning, target audiences, and the psychology behind persuasion.

Focus on One Channel and Iterate: I learned the hard way that it’s tempting to try every platform, but that’s overwhelming—especially when you’re solo. So I picked one channel that made sense for my audience (initially, email outreach and LinkedIn). I ran small experiments with subject lines, tone, calls-to-action, and watched what worked.

Engage in Conversations, Not Sales Pitches: A big part of sales, I realized, is listening. I started hanging out in niche forums and Slack/Discord channels where my potential users might be, answering questions, and offering help. When people realize you’re there to support them, not just push a product, it builds trust.

Use Low-Cost Tools and Communities: Hacker News, indie hacker communities, and entrepreneur subreddits are goldmines for getting feedback on landing pages, pitch decks, or just your general marketing approach. I regularly post progress updates or ask for opinions—sometimes the feedback can sting, but it’s invaluable.

Document Everything: Whenever I tried a new marketing tactic—be it a cold outreach email or a small Twitter ad campaign—I noted my assumptions, what I did, and the results. Over time, I built up a playbook of what actually moves the needle for my audience.

Build Real Relationships: Early on, I put a lot of effort into meaningful relationships—both with early customers and other solo founders. A quick Zoom call or a coffee chat can lead to referrals, partnerships, or just great insight. Honestly, it’s usually more about genuine curiosity and a willingness to help than any formal pitch.

Adopt a Continuous Learning Mindset: Marketing and sales tactics change quickly—algorithms, consumer behavior, best practices, all of it. I keep reading, trying, and asking questions. And I keep telling myself that every “No” is actually a “Not yet”—it’s just data to improve my approach.

That’s how I’ve been tackling marketing and sales as a solo entrepreneur. Keep things simple, learn by doing, and stay genuinely curious about your customers. It’s an ongoing process, but one that becomes more intuitive with each experiment. Good luck!
> It's explicitly partially monotonic.

From the RFC:

Monotonicity (each subsequent value being greater than the last) is
the backbone of time-based sortable UUIDs. Normally, time-based UUIDs
from this document will be monotonic due to an embedded timestamp

"time-based UUIDs from this document will be monotonic". "will be monotonic".

I'm not sure how much more explicit this can be made.

The intent of UUIDv7 is monotonicity. If an implementation is not monotonic then it's a bug in the implementation.
> At the end of the day this is a war between two groups of wealthy corporations: ISPs don't want net neutrality because big tech traffic blows up their bandwidth allocations. Big Tech wants net neutrality because they don't want to pay for the build outs needed to sustain their outsized footprints.

Big Tech does pay. Every big site that has a huge amount of traffic also gets a huge bill, roughly proportional to the amount of traffic, from their internet providers.

This is a nice UI for end users, however it seems to be a seems wrapper on top of mutool, which is distributed as AGPL. If you want to process PDF locally, legally and safely you should use their CLI instead.
As far as I can see, all the proposed solutions calculate the sums by doing division, and badly. This is in LiveCode, which I'm more familiar with than Python, but it's roughly twice as fast as the mod/div equivalent in LiveCode:

repeat with i = 0 to 9
put i * 10000 into ip
repeat with j = 0 to 9
put j * 1000 into jp
repeat with k = 0 to 9
put k * 100 into kp
repeat with l = 0 to 9
put l * 10 into lp
repeat with m = 0 to 9
put i + j + k + l + m into R[ip + jp + kp + lp + m]
end repeat
end repeat
end repeat
end repeat
end repeat
What is missing is leaving the experience alone, instead of trying to shove everything under the sun into it, including buggy AI and calendars, and making slow Electron apps. Sparrow was a fantastic email client. Had it been left alone, apart from UI tweaks to match the OS and compatibility fixes, it would probably still be near perfect.

> I could explain to a child how printing new money causes inflation, which we did twice since COVID.

We've printed money a dozen times in the 30 years prior to 2022. Economists predicted that all of them would cause inflation. None of them did.

In 2022 we had money printing and a supply side squeeze. Insisting that the inflation was caused by the money printing rather than the supply side squeeze takes incredible chutzpah.

Obviously what keys to include, what they do, and maybe other choices to make when designing a keyboard is almost entirely subjective, but here's my opinion:

Layering, chording, combos, and other methods of producing different keycodes aside from just throwing more buttons and adding more surface area ARE a good solution and arguably superior due to the following benefits:

- Ergonomics are better due to less overall movement and effort needed to produce a certain keycodes by moving two fingers slightly instead of moving your wrist or arm.

- Keyboard is generally cheaper to produce due to fewer parts required, simpler circuitry, smaller footprint, and other benefits. The arguable downside is that you are "hiding" the complexity in software (firmware?).

- It's more fun! This one is more subjective, but thinking about clever and more efficient ways to setup your keyboard can be a good time indeed! It feels cool to use.
It's simple.

Code quality is (Number of stars + number of forks * median number of commits per fork + 10 * number of closed issues + 100 * number of open issues + 3 * number of dependent packages + 0.01 * number of installs in the last 30 days) * number of commits in the last 100 days * number of core contributors active in the last 7 days / percentage of lines of code with no test coverage / (1+the number of open CVEs in dependencies) * the vibe factor
As an example of the excess here:

Marriott (the hotel brand) shipped a release of their Android app that refused to run on unlocked devices.

It probably didn't impact the majority of (locked) Android devices, so why would Marriott care?

And with one app update, a valid user configuration became less capable.
That happens entirely on device, no internet component.

David Brooks has a good book called “The Second Mountain” where he details the shift of priorities later in one’s life. The “first mountain” is what this guy achieved, monumental material success and freedom in pursuit of the “aesthetic life” that is overly portrayed in social media as the ultimate goal. But Brooks’ position is there is a “second mountain” to climb focused on commitment to a purpose beyond ourselves. Somewhat paradoxically, the second mountain is defined by a constraining of the freedom we pursue originally because it requires dogged commitment.

ADHD is an actively-researched dopaminergic disorder with a host of possible symptoms completely unrelated to attention or hyperactivity.

It is ill-named and thus one often encounters comments such as yours in the real world, which while not meant to be negative, can be marginalizing to those with ADHD who see their disorder as misunderstood and the term misused much like people who say "I'm depressed" or "They're acting schizo again".

LLMs do not have dopamine pathways and therefore we should avoid comparing them to human-specific brain disorders, or marginalizing ADHD folk by trivializing the disorder or spreading misinformation about the presentation of ADHD. LLM hallucination does not "look a lot like ADD", that's such a vague and unsupported claim. Furthermore, "lacking attention" doesn't even make sense with respect to attention models. The "attention" in ADHD and "attention" in transformers share a semantic basis but are two very different phenomena.

Oh wow, Serbia is le bad again?
The issue is the government has been ignoring for nearly 4 decades passing proper laws. They have been deferring to these groups to make fiat laws and calling them regulations. Laws not passed by the congress or senate. The current ruling exactly because the supreme court has basically said 'hey congress do your job and we are not deferring to these made up laws anymore'. It is going to be very messy for a long time.

I got ganged up on when this was first done in the FCC. I said it will flip flop depending on who is in power and what their motivations are. Here we are 15 years later and that is exactly what happened. Until Title III is written there will be no real change. We should not let the executive branch have law judge and jury authority. It was not designed that way, it fundamentally breaks the separation of duties. We should also not let the congress and senate and judiciary cede their authority because it is convenient at the moment.

> Most of them are happy with that, but most of them also remember the freedom they had in college

The freedom you have in college is a shallow, parasitic kind of freedom. College is the apex point of your being an uncontributing member of society. Up to that point all you've done is receive. Becoming an adult is taking on responsibility, contributing to society and earning the real freedom to live a life you value. If you maintained the supposed freedom you have at college you're just blind to the fact that you're totally dependent on other people. A more authentic version of the college freedom would be to go live in the woods and forage for sustenance.

Benchmark code is in the post! The trick is to limit the number of SHLX instructions before you re-initialize RCX. Doing it every 10,000 keeps it fresh enough. I didn't have to disable preemption or anything, perf shows 0 context switches and only ~50 page faults (probably all at startup).

You are off by one derivation. Breaking would be putting the carbon from the atmosphere back into the ground, which we are not doing at all.

Your doomerism argument is a strawman, it is fact that we are still accelerating the current temperature excursion. If it helps you, we are at one of the coldest moments in earth's history, so most of what climate change will cause will have been there before.

I really do wish that git itself would like check for a `.githooks` directory and prompt if it should set `core.hooksPath` to that path (probably would need to notify on pull when any files in it changed for security reasons)

SEEKING WORK | France | Remote & Onsite in Toulouse

+15 years of production experience with Python, both web dev and data processing

+4 years of production experience with Elixir as a developer and team lead

+20 years with Linux

What I have been doing a lot over the last 10 years is helping data science teams with technical "chores" such as software architecture, database design, debugging, packaging and deployment. So if you have a team of domain experts processing data with Python but struggling to deliver reliable software, we should probably talk.

While I usually get hired for my technical expertise, I generally also end up improving the development process in areas like branching policy and issue management. I also have a lot of experience training people to use Python and Django.

I would be interested in working with Elixir again!

Yes, it's important that the development of large groups of people who don't emit much at all, leapfrog directly to more modern energy.
I think it's safe to say there is a large risk that a billion people in india will still use fossil fuel for a large part of their development. Their first cars will be internal combustion and so on. They'll use that increased wealth to eat more meat than they did before and so on. I'm not optimistic about our chances to change any of that.
