It's a cute quote, but it seems about 5 years out of date. There was a golden period for a while there that indie hackers and self-funded devs could create a useful product and grow it themselves and could 'beat' VCs.

But now you can create some AI generated slop in a day that used to take months. Being an indie hacker used to be a sort of badge of honour, now it's where everyone starts.

I think the VC-backed companies who have budgets to do actual marketing, actual sales, actual outreach beyond "I have a good following on X, I'm gonna sell them stuff" will win in the end.

As a customer, for me I don't care whether the company is profitable, I care about whether it works, whether it's in my budget, whether the company will be around in 2 years regardless of if the founder loses their passion for it.
Semiconductors with direct band gaps like gallium nitride can be used to make light emitting diodes (both incoherent light and lasers). Gallium nitride emits light around 405 nanometers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_nitride

The light wavelength is proportional to the band gap. GaN has a 3.4 electron volt band gap.

To get a 13.5 nanometer emission, you'd need a direct band gap material in excess of 90 electron volts:

https://www.kmlabs.com/en/wavelength-to-photon-energy-calcul...

No such materials exist.

The emission from tin in EUV light sources is actually from thermal (blackbody) radiation. The infrared lasers heat tin vapor to extremely high temperatures where it shines into the extreme ultraviolet. It's inherently wasteful but this extreme ultraviolet range is much harder to access than visible light or near ultraviolet.
Network authority models are more nuanced than “nobody can tell me what to do” vs “one person controls everything.”

This case is confusing because there were actually three sides.

Wikimedia (and others) were arguing that the image was in public domain because animals can't hold copyright. PETA were arguing that monkeys should be able to hold copyright. And the original "photographer" was arguing that he should own the copyright because he did everything except push the button.

The only side that actually reached court was PETA, arguing the monkey should hold copyright. And the court promptly ruled against PETA. But that ruling doesn't say the image is public domain, it simply rules the monkey can't hold copyright.

It wasn't even an interesting court case, copyright law is pretty clear that animals can't hold copyright. Nobody (other than PETA) really thought otherwise.

If the original "photographer" actually went to court against the public domain camp, I do think they would have a decent chance of winning back the copyright to that image. But he never scrapped together enough funding for a lawsuit, so it hasn't gone to court.
If you want your electronics to work:

1. Read the datasheets for everything and follow all restrictions, like on safe operating area (SOA), in regard to current and ambient temperature and so on. Use appropriate heat sinks.

2. Unless you have good reasons or confidence coming from somewhere, do not stray far from the example circuits in the datasheet. If they call for certain decoupling capacitors, have those. If something has a minimum and/or maximum load impedance, be in that limit (same as point 1).

3. Do not design anything to depend on the performance of an individual part, in regard to some performance parameter that has lots of variance in mass production of those parts. This is particularly a problem for analog components; e.g. current gain of bipolar transistors and such. In simulation, play with variances in part values to see how sensitive it is; you can choose tolerances accordingly. Maybe some resistors need only 5%.

4. Good PCB layout and so on. Careful breadboard work. Proper soldering practices. Solid power supply circuits operating well within their capacity range. Proper grounding. Safety devices: fuses, diodes, etc.
Stop taking things so seriously and understand my comment was playful as I already indicated. It was more of a jab at usage of lazy but not in critical way.

> How could the board approve this?

Disagreements on board levels are less and less frequent in the corporate world.

On top of that, many huge voters are simply ETFs, and their representatives virtually always side with management (state street, vanguard, etc have documents that explain their voting, but they are far from any kind of activist or naysayer.
I mean, these edge cases are very sensitive to the exact facts at hand. Even an experienced copyright lawyer can't give you a definitive answer until you go to trial. That's why I said you're vulnerable to the argument, not that you'll definitely lose the copyright.

Well… when Parquet came out, it was the first necessary evolutionary step required to solve the lack of the metadata problem in CSV extracts.

> The way I was taught to be on call by a guy I worked with that was also an SRE at a large software company was to "patch the hole in the tire and get it to the service center".

That is a great philosophy to have when supporting a prod system off-hours, one which I fully subscribe.

> While I do agree with your sentiment, I'd say that the perspective I've learned about being on call is a big[sic] different than the one you've experienced (which may be the more common one, I'm not sure).

My underlying thesis is not with being on-call, but instead expecting a developer to perform their non-support duties in addition to being on-call. The worst case scenario of this is when the on-call developer is also tier one support.

If an organization wants to have developers perform SRE duties, presumably due to deeper understanding of a system, fine. Assign them to support and suspend development responsibilities during same.

Third-party controllers have been widely available for every popular video game console including the GameCube. Nothing was stopping anyone - Microsoft included - from creating an Xbox controller which would also work on the GameCube. Nintendo certainly didn't stop anyone.

This example completely misrepresents the issue. Nobody is asking Apple to add support for Pebble watches to their devices. They're asking Apple to stop preventing Pebble (and other smart watch manufacturers) from being able to support Apple devices.
"Israel literally owned Congress" - Donald Trump [1]

There has been a full and total coup of Zionist influence peddles over over the United States government. This is the lens in which you should look at this deal.

The Department of Education is on the verge of being abolished, and the remaining skeleton staff have been redirected to investigate cases of "antisemitism". [2]

The administration is weaponizing 'antisemitism' to unleash once unthinkable retributions against opponents of the State of Israel. The Zionist lobby is using the full levers of the US government to direct their wrath against opponents, and no one is being spared, not universities, students and even entire nations.

It would be naive to think the leadership at Alphabet are unaware of that good things happen when you be good to Zionists.

It's really a shame really, from 'Don't be Evil' to funding decades more years of 'Israeli Americans' using this wealth to funnel to AIPAC and other nefarious political causes. [3]

Yes, that's my point, although I can see why you interpreted it otherwise.

I think in such situations it can be withheld but not withdrawn, it's pretty common for universities to hold back credentials until debts are paid. But once it's been given I think the only scenario which it can be withdrawn is if it was given under fraudulent circumstances. Like a newspaper retraction, it can only be retracted if the original statement was found to be false.

The perpetrator should be sued for damages which is the normal thing to happen. Withdrawing properly received credentials opens the door to yet another extra-judicial punishment and we already have too many of those.

(EDIT)
I've since googled around a bit and am surprised that there does seem to be a degree of discretion available to the university to revoke degrees that I was unaware of. I had always considered degrees to be like an affidavit, a statement of a fact as the institution understands it. There are plenty of horrible people who have done heinous things and I've never heard of their degrees being taken away. Perhaps one difference here is that the behavior under question was during their undergrad.

Tesla, privacy...?! I remember years ago when Musk remotely disabled root access to someone's car because they were rummaging around in the software too much. Plus all the times Tesla publicly released play-by-play details of an Autopilot/FSD crash to the news. If anything, I'd categorize Tesla as the least privacy-focused car company out there, especially now that they'll face zero repercussions from the federal government for any violations.
I was also finishing a CS degree (at WGU), and had a very stressful job. I started having chest and stomach pains, then I got shingles, then I was diagnosed with celiac disease, all in a very short time.

I quit the job, finished my degree, and still struggle with the chest pains and celiac disease.

So I feel this. I pushed through the stress for a time, and it took something from me--goodbye delicious gluten.

Either I'm missing something big, or their products are outrageously far ahead of all the other similar sounding products out there.

I've been known to roll my eyes at a lot of these sorts of product catalogues in the past though and so I'm definitely biased and not the target audience for their marketing.

Some CIO out there probably really does think that their security problems will finally be over once they purchase another half dozen dashboards click through and look at.

I feel the same way about Villeneuve's last few movies, I don't think it's that controversial, I've had some people agree before. He seems to be very good at visual, audio effects, 2049/Dune both looked and sounded absolutely great at parts. But the writing, dialogue and respect for the source material is absolutely subpar, Dune part 2 was especially laughable and bad enough that the first time I tried to watch it I walked out halfway. It seems to be a trend in movies/shows that regardless of how alien the setting is everyone talks like how someone in Hollywood THINKS intellectual teenagers imagine themselves talking like when they've had several hours to think of a witty comeback to some situation. Too much snark, too many quips, too many jokes,it's like the idea of a movie taking a silly or absurd concept seriously for more than a minute without baiting a laugh from the audience is something to be embarrassed about.
I might have gone too far off. I apologize, taking my anger on here is not constructive. I am just dumbfounded at some of the dots that are connecting, which are making me feel very uneasy. You are right, that if this was but an isolated incident, free speech would not be at stake. But not even 2 months into this administration, and some very concerning incidents made me uneasy.

So I wasn't referring to the recent tweets about public servants perpetrating the Holocaust. I was referring to the incident from late 2023 where he replied "this is the actual truth" to someone who posted that Jewish communities are trying to create divisions in society. It was quickly discovered that the person he replied to had posted plenty of Holocaust denial material - specifically about fatalities. I misremembered the actual tweet that Elon promoted. One could make the argument that he was making a very narrow point, recklessly doing no diligence on who he chose to amplify. He did follow it with an apology tour though.

> Small-scale methods may be easy to analyze, but they lack the richness and complexity that makes intelligence interesting.

I don't disagree.

But what a scientist would do after having strong evidence that huge scaling might help is attempting to understand what part of the much larger complexity leads to this qualitative change.
> I've tried at several companies to get dev-teams to prioritise things causing a lot of work for the ops-team, and nothing has worked as well as disbanding the ops team and putting the devs on-call.

This is a leadership problem, not a development problem. If stakeholders prioritize resolving production issues and development teams do not address the objectives set forth, then there are bigger problems afoot.

> Subversion docs are clear that it's a snarky name and that 'svn praise' and 'svn annotate' are neutral synonyms.

A few years ago, some Atlassian developer changed "Blame" in the BitBucket UI to "Annotate". I remember a lot of people being frustrated because they couldn't find "blame" anywhere and the change was never officially announced. It just happened one day

Someone opened a ticket with BitBucket about it which ended up drawing a lot of attention from frustrated users who couldn't find "blame", and their searches for it on Google led people to the ticket. Atlassian eventually responded saying that they made the change because "blame" sounds bad and can hurt people's feelings somehow (with no examples given of course, though ironically the dev who made the change certainly had hurt feelings after the upset masses had some choice words for the short-sighted decision. Though Atlassian doubled down and I believe closed the ticket without reverting the change, so the confusion remains, as far as I know)

I don't think that they ever mentioned the Subversion/CVS parallel that was drawn to choose that name, so it was really confusing why that was selected. But this comment shed some light on that ancient incident
How would they revoke someone's degree in either country? Do they break into someone's house and steal the piece of paper? A degree is awarded by the institution but I don't see how they could then claim that they did not meet the requirements for the degree retroactively absent some proof of academic misconduct. What possible difference would such a renovation make to anyone outside the university?
So cool. Is this basically like 2 inaudible waves coming together in an "overlap spot" to create an audible moment?
I would suggest dispensing with meta-level arguments and engaging on the object level.
I've recently started an indie hacker journey and cannot emphasize how much work it takes. It's incredibly hard to develop the technical side, listen to feedback to improve the product/UX, do SEO, viral marketing, and more.

Hiring more people seems necessary to stay sane -- at least for my project. But you need money for that, which you won't have for a long time. Even tools for all these aspects (Claude, Revid.ai, ahrefs, etc) stack up in subscription costs.

Maybe this is just because I'm getting started, though.

I've found this approach super useful for anything that has a potentially complex implementation with relatively simple output (e.g. compilers, query generators, format converters). You can comprehensively cover your code with simple snapshot tests and not really anything else.

It's critically important to very carefully review the snapshots before committing them for the first time though - it's far too easy to run the test, look at the output, think "yup that looks like some sql/assembly/whatever that does the thing I'm trying to do" and carry on. Only to realize days/weeks/months later that there's a bunch of bugs that you never caught because your supposed "correct" output was never actually correct.

If you want to know information before the public knows it (like the interest rate adjustment) go to a Wall St. bar and ask a trader. None of them are supposed to know that. They all do (unless they don't go out or talk to friends), and they trade based off of that information.
Google already owns GCP. Wiz obviously built something that differentiates themselves and fills a need. I am sure they support GCP. If so, why would google not copy and develop this functionality themselves instead of buying them out?

Among the wiz customers if they use GCP already then surely they will be willing to try the functionality of google builds it.

If the customer doesn’t use GCP, chances are they wont move to GCP and probably move away from wiz too after the acquisition.

I don’t get why they bought them instead of copying them

This assumption that a tech company is going to keep reinventing or inventing new wheels all the time has very little evidence in human history, while the opposite one, the many great tales of that super company that did so many great things and then is far more common.
