> I don't get why you need to be under 25.

I didn't either, but the FAQ offers this answer:

> Why focus on 25 years and younger? Our goal is to encourage the next generation to take more risks and make entrepreneurship more acceptable across European culture. We believe many VC products out there cater to entrepreneurs irrespective of age. By focusing on under 25 year olds we aim to support a younger set of founders that often don’t fit the requirements of venture investors. Backing first-time founders at a young age is more risky but it’s the bet we’re making to change the narrative of European entrepreneurship.

The Wrights actually found that Lilienthal's glider data, especially the specifics about airfoil design, was terribly inaccurate (the closer they got to replicating his designs, the worse their gliders performed). It was only after they built a wind tunnel and used it to validate the performance of various airfoil shapes that they could stabilize their gliders enough to think about making them powered. In many ways, the Wright's greatest advancement was abandoning the established knowledge of the field, including Lilienthal's, and validating their design experimentally from base principles.

This is excellent. People do not take the time to truly understand human behavior and what it takes to shift i, along with the way that collides with the incentives corporations have.

Something I’ve started saying is “systems, not solutions.” If you aim to change the game at this point in most areas, you have to build a different system, not just a different solution. The way I define a system is also very important:

A system is a set of rules, norms, incentives, and consequences that define what is easy and what is hard.

You wanna change people’s behavior? Make the thing you want them to do stupidly easy. So easy they would feel like a fool to not do it. Then, make the thing you don’t want them to do incredibly hard, so hard that almost nobody will even try because it’s so clear to them that they’ll fail and feel terrible doing it.

That’s how you shift behavior.

My counter argument to this is that the later in the process your face is shown, the fewer people have the option to discriminate and therefore the fewer arbitrary filters you have to pass through. And ideally the people who are discriminating at that point are the people you'd actually be working with, so their discrimination (however arbitrary) is more relevant bc you might continue to experience it on the job (not to say that jobs where a person is discriminatory isn't one worth taking or possible to work past.)

You know what you need to make stuff? Energy. You need energy. And that's what the US government's fossil-fuel-subsidizing bullshit is denying you.

Importing oil and gas now does not increase security, but importing PV modules does, because it gives you the capacity to produce energy from them for 20 years (module warranty period) or more likely 100 years (how long they'll actually work, though below the 80% of original capacity the warranty guarantees). Moreover, distributed generation with PV panels is enormously more resilient to being blown up by Chinese nukes or Russian, Ukrainian, or Chinese drone swarms than a few big coal power stations and oil refineries. (To say nothing of global warming.)

> Delphi and Visual Basic 6 were definitely not the pinnacle of UI development.

> All layout was pixel based.

I'd say that was a very reasonable trade-off at the time, when most screens were somewhere between 640x480 and 1024x768 resolutions at 72 DPI. This simplified UI design sufficiently enough that VB/Delphi provided an optimal solution that, yes in hindsight, would most accurately be described as a "local maxima" for the environment and the time.

> Making windows resizable required much complex ad-hoc code

I remember there were ActiveX controls one could drop onto their form that would attempt to derive the layout based on initial positioning of controls, i.e. that a lower row of buttons should be anchored to the bottom of the window, while textboxes are took up a larger area would automagically resize with the window.

I had type 2 SLAP tear (lemme guess, rock climbing?) confirmed by MRI with dye. It seemed to just... go asymptomatic after months of rest, gradual return to activity. Some guy on reddit said stem cells from mexico fixed his SLAP tear but he never went for a followup MRI so who knows.
"practical bicycles" is nebulous, vague, and always means whatever you want it to mean to claim to be right.

Bicycles do not need precision bearings nor pneumatic tires, as proven by the fact that bicycles predate them by decades. Also radial style ball bearings were invented for bicycles. Bicycles were the catalyst for precision bearings, not the other way around. Similarly pneumatic tires were created for tricycles (long after pedal bicycles were already invented)

Yes we absolutely could have had 2 wheeled transportation centuries earlier. Roads, the actually necessary infrastructure, was long since a thing for carts and wagons.

The lack of sympathy is understandable, though I do think becoming depressed after a huge success is probably very common. You've spent so much of your waking life for years working towards a goal and then you attain it, and maybe that success no longer needs your hard work, so there's a massive vacuum in your life. Obviously there's more to life than business success and it'll take time to find your purpose again, but that come down, I think, is natural.

It reminds me of the article about one of the co-founders of RxBar and how he was finding it hard to search for meaning after they sold their company for hundreds of millions. It was posted here years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21138106

Now, how do you explain to that executive that they will not get that feature in 3 months but rather in 5 years if the company survives that long with work screeching to a halt?

You have turned 20 teams working on 20 different focuses into 1 team. The focuses are interconnected but 90% independent. One team is working on billing. Another team is working on admin. Another team is working on a feature that has blocked five deals this quarter totaling $800,000 dollars in potential contract. Another team is working on imports from other external systems. Another team is working on exports to CSV and Looker and other platforms.

Yet another team is working on a feature that is only connected because they are the same user base but otherwise has no relation. Another team is directly tied to all of the same data, but could be flying on their own with a reasonable set of CRUD APIs.

These all get mashed into the same codebase early on because everyone is going as fast as possible with 8 developers two funding rounds ago.

I am not excusing systems that are a microservice to a developer, or worse, but these patterns evolved because there was a need.
> Waltz set some of the messages in the Signal group to disappear after one week, and some after four. That raises questions about whether the officials may have violated federal records law: Text messages about official acts are considered records that should be preserved.

> from coal to clean energy

The reason I'm skeptical of that framing is it implies coal production is being replaced by clean energy, rather than total energy production being increased.

Coal production continues to climb[1] and construction of new coal plants hit a 10 year high in 2024[2]. China accounted for 95% of the world’s new coal power construction activity in 2023[3].

Lots of countries announce decarbonization goals, but I will remain skeptical until the data show progress.

There's another part of his story, where he did try make new games post-Minecraft and never got very far, and eventually gave up on making anything on a larger scale again.

This accident analysis doesn't seem correct. A GriGri sucked into a draw will automatically unlock the cam; there has to be a differential force between the top and bottom of the GriGri to hold the cam down. Some critical details are missing here, but nobody should come to the conclusion that a GriGri unlocks automatically if sucked into a draw.
I think that some domestic manufacturers will abuse labor and pollute, you will never have 100% compliance. However it is far easier to police things here then somewhere without our regulatory framework. If Nike could get away with child sweatshops in the US, why did they bother moving abroad?

Sure, they want to roll back all those protections but we don't have to. And more to the point, why doesn't the US party that champions labor rights and environmental regulations want to move manufacturing back to the US? It's very easy to say you support factory worker rights when you don't have any factory workers.
"Here's when and why to use a tool" is a really good thing to explain along with how to use it.
One pattern I’ve now seen succeed a few times is wrapping the react-y parts of your application into web components.

That does NOT mean exposing every component as a web component, NOR building everything with web components.

Rather, use it as a bridge between Rails and React. Rails just needs to put the tag onto the page to spawn frontend magic. Your teams can deploy a simple JS bundle on S3, so they can still make deployments without changes to the Rails side of things.

This also allows Hotwire to spawn a react component, since it just needs to refer to a web component’s tag as well.

I’ve seen it work nicely a few times now!

Why do you think I am being “snarky”?

I meant it literally. I genuinely believe that if you could demonstrate the proof and publish it… then you would become so.
We agree there. Many teams went way too far in the other direction. There is a happy medium of one service per 1-3 teams with a few dedicated outliers such as third party connectors, and using libraries judiciously within larger codebases.
They have this kind of thing, it's used constantly by business travelers. In my 4 years of business travel and tracking every expense I only noticed one time that there was a discrepancy. So it does happen but personal experience says it's rare.

This comment really resonates with me. The annoyance at the label, the realization of internet addictions being a coping mechanism for uncontrolled stress (subconsciously finding myself scrolling hackernews or Reddit on my phone when I run into a problem that doesn’t have an immediate solution), the feeling of failure from not being able to be productive 100% of the day.

I’m glad that you were able to find a solution, and I’ve heard some others(and ChatGPT) say similar things, but I never understand what it means to “solve stress”. Like what does that mean? To me, stress isn’t a singular task that can be killed/solved, it’s just a long running background task that takes up more resources than it should. Likely you won’t want to get into your personal life here, but can you give an example(even if you have to make it up) of what it meant to remove the stress from your life?
Sounds like you end up missing out on a lot of features either way.
Incentives are part of the story, but not all of it. Users can, and do, behave in ways that are deeply suboptimal in terms of getting the results they want. (In fact, the biggest success we had late in Triplebyte's history largely consisted of removing user agency in a way that didn't feel bad to them, precisely because users were behaving in ways that were counterproductive.)

Sophisticated users on mature platforms generally behave more-or-less rationally, but those will not be most of your users early on. That's to your benefit, because abuses take time to arise - you can get away with stuff on year one or two of your platform that would be a glaring vulnerability in year ten.
OpenAI reshuffles leadership as Sam Altman pivots to technical focus
Yes. Yes it is. I guess this person has the same stance Vercel now has. Even Next.js docs can make up their mind of whether you should or should not do it. They reccomended it until yesteray, but then another major securityflaw was discovered that made it useless, and now they removed authentication from the docs.

The takeaway is that you should not do it. You should never use Next.js if you ever has somehting that is not supposed to be public for everyone.

No serious company uses Next.js after all the recent major security issues, at least not if they have and respect users data.

Other humans are not "dogs" or "pigs".

Jesus was unambiguous. "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:30–31)

Or, even more explicit, Matthew 25:31-46.

"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’"

Jesus is explicitly advocating welfare - providing food, drink, clothes, healthcare, and more to anyone in need.

Jesus was also unambiguous on wealth. Christians, who follow the teachings of Christ, should give greater merit to his words than to anything in the old testament which came before.

For more, consider 1 John 4:20 "Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen."

I think the bigger issue might be the microphone placement. Humans tend to prefer microphones that are closer to microphones which are further away (this is one reason headsets w/ a boom arm usually sound better than a built-in microphone.) Having the microphone behind you / to the side (as in the case of an AirPod) is not great either. Of course, audio processing can fix a lot of this.

Flatpaks also share dependencies. Usually not quite as much as distro-specific packages, but it's wrong to suggest that each Flatpak ships all dependencies separately.
I don't believe your statement is accurate.

[Edit: I interpreted "curated manually" to mean that dang picks each story that is on the front page. tptacek interpreted it to mean that, since users upvote and comment on stories, that's "manual curation". I interpret that as being "automatic curation", that is, an algorithm picks the front page stories, even though it's based on users' upvotes and comments. I cannot prove which of these two forms belter meant. Naturally, I prefer to think that it was the one I read it as, but I can squint hard enough to see tptacek's version.]
And they don't have access to cheap natural gas so the financial incentive to switch to renewables is even stronger. Even more so given the inability of coal to flexibly produce power throughout the day, so cheaper renewables just completely kill the economic feasibility of coal.
