If bitcoin utility is storing value outside of tax jurisdiction and moving it without obstruction, globally – then the question is Why should that even matter? Former is every rich person's dream, and latter enables a lot of things, good or bad.

A counter-example: can you come up to a coffee shop with a gold collectible coin, chew a piece out, and use it to pay for your coffee directly? You need a proxy in form of a pawn shop for that.

It will be completely standalone. The same way it works with Rust, Go, etc. The binary size will be smaller than Go but bigger than Rust.

Portability is by definition not possible with natively compiled binaries however. It is a choice - either produce an assembly (still single-file, .NET can do this unlike JVM offerings) that is completely portable, or produce a self-contained executable targeted at a particular OS and ISA.

It's quite impressive to see how much the Windows experience has improved for developers since this was written.

I love being able to both do all of my web application work in a deeply integrated NixOS WSL VM and develop my own desktop environment power tools against a stable DWM using an officially supported Win32 API crate in Rust.

Honestly I dread booting up my M1 MacBook Pro for work, the experience feels sluggish, slow and unresponsive in comparison. In particular the experience of using a wireless mouse is like dragging the cursor through heavy sludge.

At some point they lose touch with reality. I've found their "advice" often doesn't work for young people who wanna become successful like them. Another example is Jensen:

I think it's largely because SV tech bros have almost zero intersection with enterprise compute as it's used in the rest of the world. PG sees nothing but Apple laptops around him, because everyone holding them has never worked for a diesel engine manufacturer in Michigan or a wood panel plant in North Carolina.

The disconnect between SV and the rest of the world is as wide today as it has ever been.

Good luck!
Just a rant about MS , people here claim how good they are with backwards compatibility. Bullshit, we were using an MS Azure TTS API, MS also had anew similar API but in alpha so we could not use that one back then. The old API has still more then 1 year of support but the MS "very nice guys" /sarcasm
started breaking it, like one day one end point returns a different response structure, I fix it and next weak other endpoint changes the response structure, and the results start to bug out, returns success but transcription is incomplete etc .

In the end I did the work and move the new API, I am not sure how much this new one will work, maybe the nice guys at MS will want to restart things again with some new even more shiny thing.

Some fanboy will claim this is just a mistake and MS team are just incompetent and have no tests, and support if busy with other stuff.
> Maybe they do have ADHD, maybe they don't. Maybe they should get diagnosed so they can learn more about it and find strategies for dealing with it instead of blaming it.

Cool, I wish it was that simple but I don't think you realize how screwed up the system is. The waiting lists are YEARS long in many places, and many people with ADHD (I would dare to speculate the majority) get misdiagnosed with just anxiety and depression at some point, for women it's even harder and they're often misdiagnosed with bipolar.

The fight to even get your struggles appropriately recognized is long and exhausting, often requiring energy that people with ADHD just don't have.

> But regardless, just find something that works for you and stop making excuses.

This sort of advice is perhaps the most common form of gaslighting that individuals with ADHD experience from childhood up to present day and I don't think you understand how damaging it is.

People with ADHD should still make an effort, but these aren't just "excuses" and the fact is that the majority will never be able to consistently perform at the same level as non-ADHD people of similar intelligence. If I can't find something that works, and people who should know better say I'm "healthy", then this means I'm suffering from a character flaw like laziness.

This is the highway to guilt, self-loathing and internalized shame, which eventually leads to suicidal ideation (1 in 4 people with ADHD) and approximately half of those will attempt to take their own life at some point.

Obviously certain systems can and do work for certain people, but they're not a solution and chances are that the people you're lecturing have already tried various systems and still struggle.

How are you accommodating people who you think are using ADHD as an excuse?

> put it in your calendar. Forget to check your calendar? Set an alarm that you have to dismiss.

Autopay is a valid tactic, but other suggestions just don't work consistently. Even if there's an alarm that has to be dismissed, there's a chance that you'll dismiss the alarm, go to pay the bill and then get sidetracked by a random chore and completely forget about it again.

That's why ADHD is a disorder and a disability, not just a personality quirk. I hope that you mean well, but you're spreading very unhelpful and potentially damaging commentary on the topic.
This response is again just underscoring why people around the world right now hold such an incredibly and deeply negative view of the country right now. You aren’t going to convince anyone else this is their fault that they should have known not to trust you and that they are somehow suckers.

People are motivated to make sure you feel the pain of this situation moving forward.

> Unrecoverable

panics are very much designed to be recoverable at some well defined boundaries (e.g. the request handler of a web server, a thread in a thread pool etc.)

this is where most of it's overhead comes from

you can use panic=abort setting to abort on panics and there is a funny (but unpractical) hack with which somewhat can make sure that no not-dead-code-eliminated code path can hit a panic (you link the panic->abort handler to a invalid symbol)
Read all of it. Go beyond just the title, and it should tell you that Paul Graham was more right than wrong with this one.

- Google was, for a while, the "gorilla in the room" - their decline is recent. But Paul Graham got it right, that Google was more scary than MS.

- Microsoft was "dead" in 2007, same as Apple was before Steve Jobs came back. The revival started with Satya Nadella, 7 years later. It is still a shadow of its former self, MS dominated the industry like no other player ever did (or is likely to do, again).

- The 4 forces that lead to MS' demise are likely spot-on. And again "demise" in the same sense of IBM, "still exists, still makes money, nobody really cares".

Did the "all ycombinator founders use Macs" rub me the wrong way, when used as an argument as he did? Yes. But I also kinda' understand it(*), even though I still think he should've steered away from that argument.

(*) you can interpret it in the sense of "the future is already here - it is just very unevenly distributed"; that's probably what he meant. He knew full well the market share.
Yeah. It has its uses. You could accomplish the same with the rather verbose `counts.try_emplace(thing).first->second++` but nobody wants to type that (even if it is more explicit about what it's doing).

Another popular use case is something along the lines of:

std::unique_ptr<T>& ptr = ptrs[key];
if (ptr != nullptr) {
ptr = std::make_unique<T>(...);
}

That said, I don't know what behavior I'd want if maps didn't automatically insert an element when the key was absent. UB (as with vector)? Throw an exception? Report the incident to Stroustrop? All these options feel differently bad.
I understand you're joking, but I guess that depends if you are trying to monopolize a market, retain first-mover advantage, etc. I guess ability to execute is itself a type of moat, perhaps especially so when the potential competition would be other startups that are statistically highly likely to fail.

Still, I wonder how many head-on competing businesses of a particular category the market can bear before they start feeling it via competitive pricing pressure, lower sales and/or slower growth, etc. What if there were 2 more video-flipbook companies, or 10 more ?
He was wrong about Microsoft's death but correct about how AJAX making web apps feel more desktop-like would remove Microsoft's dominance in many categories and niches.

If you're building a bridge, legally you must have an accredited engineer sign off on the plans and stamp them. If the bridge subsequently collapses because the plans were wrong, that engineer goes to prison.

Of course, the big problem here is that any engineer who knows how LLMs work probably wouldn't bet jail time that one they built would never do the wrong thing

Microsoft has long been included, they just didn’t happen to be in the catchy FAANG acronym that a tv show used for a set of companies with increasing stock prices all the way back in 2013.

Netflix dropped out of that a long time ago, but FAANG is still sometimes used since it is catchier than MAMAA or whatever a 7 letter acronym would be if including Nvidia and Tesla.

Any government willing to fund a large infrastructure stimulus project should prioritize one which maximizes its utility for the tax-paying public.

Some of the infrastructure needed to support a large particle collider (roads, power generation and distribution) may be of general utility, but with current technology, most of the money will literally go into digging a "black hole" and filling it with superconducting magnets and detectors. None of that is good for anything other than particle physics (and at this point, even that is questionable; the most plausible result of a Higgs factory would be just another confirmation that yes, the standard model works, with a few new decimals tacked on to various constants).

It is an common theme with PG to write confidently about technology while also demonstrating that he has absolutely no understanding of what he's talking about.

I've been commenting about this here for YEARS with constant pushback and excuses for him from the community. "He's a billionaire so he must be smart", "He personally wrote the entire HN codebase", "Nobody really needs a valid SSL cert on their website in 2023". Dang has even cited me for "personal attacks" for daring to point out PG's most visible shortcomings and knowledge gaps.

I guess the inflection point was PG turning to X to screech about "wokism" in support of oligarchs like Trump and Musk to snap this community out of it's pro-PG trance. Watching a billionaire cheer on the billionaire class as we plummet into technofeudalism is a hell of a wake up call.

Glad to see criticism of PG finally going mainstream here, especially digging back 18 years and concluding that he's always been like this. It's a shame he financially runs this place and these comments are short-lived due to platform manipulation.

Amsterdam experiment shows how households can cut energy costs by about 50%
Every once in a while someone will bulid a house in a day. However it is more costly to do this. you either need expensive really fast cure concrete or a low quality wood foundation. You need to carefully plan who is where and when so plumbers and electritions are no standing in the same spot (think sink with an outlet nearby). You need to specify where everything is to a pipe and wire are not in the same place with enough slack that the pipe can be put in. You pay your crews to arrive early so as soon as the last crew is done with a section next con start.

your 100 day house has slack built in so if one crew is running late the next isn't affected. This means you can tightly schedule the labor a month in advance.

You have the answer to your question.

I find it odd that you’re ok with peaceful insurrections. It’s not ok for a small mob to attempt to overthrow the government, whether they go about it violently or not. (Ironically, the fictional election fraud that was being protested would itself be a peaceful insurrection, so one wonders what supporters of peaceful insurrections would have found to complain about in Biden’s victory!)

Is fundamentally unsound `check_invariant` needs to be unsafe as it doesn't actually check the invariant but tells the compiler to blindly assume they hold. Should probably also be named `assume_invariant_holds()` instead of `check_invariant()`.

Challenging the status quo is crucial for fostering innovation and personal growth, yet it’s a trap many organizations and individuals stumble into. Early in our careers, we lack the confidence or knowledge to question existing methods. Over time, we either cling too firmly to our beliefs or grow complacent, accepting outdated practices without probing for improvements. This article highlights that human nature, with its adaptability, fuels this complacency. By comparing it to examples of Stockholm Syndrome and referencing real-world case studies, it illustrates how easily we find comfort—even in flawed processes.

Organizations that enjoyed early success often accumulate complex systems without ever pausing to ask if there’s a better way. They onboard bright engineers, but train them in the same dated approaches, effectively boxing them into constrained thinking. These newcomers then propose incremental fixes rather than imagining radical solutions—yet genuine transformation depends on stepping outside that box.

To break this cycle, the article advises seeking fresh perspectives: welcome new employees without rigid frameworks, consult external experts, and encourage hackathons to spark untethered creativity. Artificial constraints—like intentionally slowing a CI pipeline—can push teams to innovate rather than just accept inefficiencies. Moreover, allocating “slack time” invites engineers to experiment, often leading to breakthroughs that can reshape an entire organization.

Ultimately, challenging the usual approach is risky, but the payoff is immense. By applying scientific methods—testing assumptions, questioning norms, and learning from experiments—companies and individuals can uncover innovative solutions. Whether it’s containerization for development, rethinking product features, or designing new collaboration models, consistent curiosity can propel teams forward and enrich careers.

Read the full article to discover how small mindset shifts can spur remarkable growth. Don’t let complacency stifle your potential—embrace the struggle and stand apart from the crowd. Challenge the status quo, and watch innovation flourish in your organization and beyond.
