Building stuff in crypto today is really hard. Imagine if you wanted to put up a personal website and all you had to do was start by breaking ground to build a data center. Your personal page probably would not be that good, would it? Small teams can only focus on so many things; we want them to use center so they can focus on the details that truly matter and make products beautiful.

We want to eliminate all of these annoying, cumbersome, expensive problems that devs face so that they can build incredible user experiences that help people flourish and rise to the level of their ambition, without having to think about if their nodes are online or if their indexer is missing any data.

We started about 3 years ago and have finally started to find product market fit. We're looking to scale the engineering team so that we can finally bring our products to market.

Our investors include Founders Fund, Thrive Capital, SV Angel, @balajis, and many more incredible folks who have taken a chance on us; it's been my mission for the last 3+ years to make sure that everyone involved in this venture does phenomenally well.

I guess Vincent Bevins has the money quote:

We were already in a deep recession for regular Americans starting in 2020. Double housing and transportation costs.

Hello, your doc about const says "The const qualifier is only retained for actual constant variables".

Then how do you express read-only pointers ? Like C `const int* ptr`
You know this already but the reason nintendo doesnt release their games on other systems is so you have to buy the system.

I bought a switch. I didnt think I'd buy a switch 2 but damn it if I didnt just see the new mario kart and think, "Maybe I should get a switch 2". I would never buy another nintendo device if they released their games on other system. So they likely never will.

It's the same reason they will never put a mainline pokemon, a game that is basically made for mobile phones, onto ios or android.
Of course they don't.

LLMs are a brainless algorithm that guesses the next word. When you ask them what they think they're also guessing the next word. No reason for it to match, except a trick of context
This isn't uniformly true in all industries or throughout all manufacturing. Not to mention that you need qualified people to operate and maintain these machines and the machines themselves.
It's more that we shouldn't pretend that things could not be worse, which is what the person they were replying to was trying to say.

Hi, I'm Kurtis. I've been programming for ~10 years, 3 years professionally. I'm currently looking for a project that has positive real-world impact; working at a company that chugs out AI slop for the betterment of stakeholders isn't really my thing. The listed technologies are in no particular order, nor are they comprehensive. For relocation: I have Canadian and EU citizenship.

the right is good at presenting a facade of cohesion. those differences are better-hidden from view until the common enemies of the right are destroyed and they need to begin eating each other.
This turned out to be entirely the right approach, though, and it was probably pretty obvious even at the time. Sound Cards with built in mixers have all but died out. Everything they did has been eaten by software,

Even at the time, few games used an API where they managed multiple channels directly; Software mixing was commonplace from the 90s. Any game that wanted to play battle sounds was not relying on the mere 6-8 channels that cards from that time could handle.

Our modern Pipewire based workflow is remarkably simple and remarkably effective, and it's significantly an evolution of PA.
> If the tariffs remained in effect for three decades, or more, there may have been incentive to move manufacturing back to the US;

That's the European Union, with no tariffs within the EU, moderately high tariffs at the EU border, and few policy shocks. The EU plugs along, with somewhat protected industries, moderately high prices, good quality, and some export business.

This is great news if it’s true.

You're both painting polarized views. I'm from the rust belt where many of these disenfranchised can be found. Manufacturing isn't coming back. Tariffs are only going to increase the gap between the haves and the have-nots.
I’m curious to see how they are going to fumble this.
Internet commenters don't "reason". They just generate inane arguments over definitions, like a lowly markov bot, without the true spark of life and soul that even certain large language models have.
Not OP, but a) "to them", and b) I would add that they are being nudged - ever so slightly - to believe in an exaggeration of the facts.
I'm of a similar mindset, just look how many software adjacent roles are basically UBI already.

With DOGE the US seems to moving backwards, cutting down on gov busywork for what self-defeating purpose? They just end up flooding the market, or worse, sabotaging productive teams with their meetings and ceremonies.
If you look at what has happened i'm not sure. The ukraine invasion has been happening for a while now, and it has caused increase defense spending in europe somewhat, but it seems suddenly over the last three month the needle has been moving a lot faster than the last few years.
Small objections to the licensing terms, and the name...

I've recently been considering making my own open source nutrition app, (since every single one I've looked at seems to either violate my privacy&security, or is designed/works very poorly), but the available "open" nutrition info databases for bootstrapping have seemed poor.

So I looked at the license of this database, and the idea of making it "open" is good and maybe appropriate. But the attribution requirements to promote this other, commercial, product are a little annoying. And could also be a little confusing in app store listings.

> Attribution Requirements: If you display or use any data from this dataset, you must provide clear attribution to "OpenNutrition" with a link to https://www.opennutrition.app in:

> * Every interface where data is displayed

> * Application store listings

> * Your website

> * Legal/about sections

Additionally, I've soured on single companies that call themselves "open". "Open" has a few-decades history in computers, as everyone realized the dangers and costs of proprietary lock-ins, and so created concepts such as "open systems" and "open standards". Appropriating the "open" term for a single company, for something more proprietary than open (like the very proprietary OpenAI that's mentioned many times in https://www.opennutrition.app/about ), rubs a bit the wrong way.
You went to the extreme though. I didn't ask if one wants to do everything themselves. In the US, for example, there are still hundreds of millions of people to specialize in various roles.
The is a really good, IMO, Saturday Night Live skit about this where the contestants try to guess Republican or not of various people. Some of the bits do a great job of pointing out how some of the values people claim to believe in are only applied selectivity when it benefits their side.
from Mike Johnson, about DOGE's use of algorithms: ""Elon has cracked the code. He is now inside the agencies. He’s created these algorithms that are constantly crawling through the data. And as he told me in his office, the data doesn’t lie. We’re going to be able to get the information."

It does matter if things get worse and it's very uncaring to say otherwise. The import taxes are going to make wealth inequality much worse and significantly hurt not just almost all American's but large swathes of the world too.
The majority of countries have a negative birth rate. The US is doing "OK" (stopping immigration is why I put it in quotes).

This is going to catch up to most countries very soon. The US will be in a small group of the ones last standing.
VAT complicates the business environment for EU companies operating in the EU too. You're demanding that American companies in the EU should be able to operate the same way they do in the US instead of complying with local laws, ie you're just demanding the right to bring your legal environment with you. Do you believe that foreign companies who open branches in the US should be exempt from US laws and be able to run themselves according to the law in their country of origin, at their US branches? I doubt it.
Actually doing positive things is hard. Good presidents like Biden can pass stuff like IRA.

I think you'll find that no matter how crazy it gets or what it bleeds into, it's never going to be acceptable to discuss here. As soon as people get a whiff of "politics" they're going to start flagging. Especially if they see the "T" word.

The regime could be rolling dissidents into mass graves and the only valid point of discussion for most people here would be packing algorithms.
Most 'systemd haters' see boot security as unnecessary, or a toy no one would use, and that UEFI secure boot is a conspiracy orchestrated by Microsoft.

It fits the personality profile of not wanting to learn new things. After all, we didn't need it in 2002, so why do we need it now?

There is no fixing these people, so it doesn't make sense expending energy convincing them.
Agree, that's why I've been loading up $INTL last couple of months.
I've used this for Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Database Projects. It's basically as you say: write it as if creating a new database, then deploy it in CI where it does a diff on the live database to come up with the actual migration strategy on the fly. If you're clever you add a manual review stage in the pipeline and have the db engineers approve the generated migration script before deployment is completed automatically. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/tools/sql-database-pro...

I helped set this up in a fortune 500 company a few years ago. They were using a team of db engineers to execute manually written change scripts, with manual reviews, control processes, and deployment schedules. You'd be lucky if you got your schema change to prod in a month. When they started integrating this tool on some trial candidates they found SO many inconsistencies between environments: server settings differences, extraneous or missing indexes, vestigial "temp" tables created during previous migrations, enum tables that should be static with extra or missing rows, etc, etc. All the environment differences meant that deployments had to be manual in the past. Once they got through the initial pain of syncing up the environments the whole department got way more efficient.

Its a perspective thing. I saw an interview a couple weeks ago of a man in his 30s saying he finished high school and couldn't find a warehouse job like his father did and had been working odd jobs ever since.

To my parents that was an unacceptable thing, had I finished high school and not done college (or some vocational school) I'm sure they would have kicked me out of their place. So not continuing my education was never an option, I had to, because from their perspective that was the only way.

This other dude never had this, his dad worked an warehouse job at some big box store more likely, went up the chain there and made a decent living for his family. The expectation for the family was that if their kids had done the same, it would have been fine, he said his father never even finished high school, but that isn't reality anymore for most people and I don't think this has been a culturally set reality in the US.

People were very much still expecting this would continue to be a thing but its very hard for you to do that in a place where there is very little manufacture and with so much tech taking over brick and mortar stores.

> To them, it doesn't even matter if things get "worse" for a while. Their life is already meeting every economic headwind imaginable.

Really? How do you even know that? You think another round of price hikes within the year is unimaginable, which what the economic consensus on immediate tariffs this high predicts?

The unemployment rate is 4%. The amount of liberation day tariff supporters is an order of magnitude higher than that. Pretending that things can't get worse is dangerous and stupid.
> If you're unemployed and living on whatever odd jobs and government assistance you can get, tariffs won't make one bit of difference in your life.

Categorically false.

Tariffs raise prices for consumers. These tariffs will make it even harder for them to make ends meet.
> If you're unemployed and living on whatever odd jobs and government assistance you can get, tariffs won't make one bit of difference in your life.

Prices going up on everything will absolutely make a difference in their lives. Even with government assistance and very low income, they still have to buy things to live - and they'll be able to afford even less. The poorer you are, the harder this is going to hit you.
the advantage of systemd is the company backing, almost noone gonna donate for their init system, or their timezone system, or the network etc.., donating to their desktop enviroment is hard enough, but because all of that is inside systemd, with company backing, it's a good tradeoff, and people can donate directly to all the project instead of only one software
I have, and that depends on whether you are concerned at all with where we externalize our costs to. We had it good while messing up a lot of other places.

Maybe that's fine, maybe its not, but its not as simple as trade makes everyone better off.

I remember when the GOP was the free trade party, and you had to look mercantilism up in the history books because it was dead. President McKinley, from the 1890s, is one of Trump's economic role models. https://fortune.com/2025/03/10/trump-william-mckinley-tariff...

I wonder how pre-MAGA GOP'ers are reconciling this new reality with their existing beliefs.
I think the point was that these tariffs are hurting stocks because it is hurting workers, which hurts consumer spending. These tariffs are against workers primarily. The next time you see someone digging up a water main check their boots, the supervisor might be wearing Carhartt and Redwing, if they are a hipster, but the people who are muddy are typically wearing much cheaper imported equipment.
They work for a government that can help with the threats, bribery and social engineering required to get access to employees of exchanges.

> “Diversity” is a nice positive spin on what is an extremely fragmented/disjointed/nonexistent energy policy, military strategy, technological cooperation, consumer markets, etc. Like I said, the average European cannot converse with his/her neighbor even at a 1st grade level in a common language. These are obviously not strengths in the context of the current international order, and to try to brush that away with platitudes is to live outside of reality.

I don't think we should be a geopolitical strongman like America though. The world has seen enough of America oil police. Blowing up half the middle east under the guise of 'freedom' and leaving power vacuums that caused nasties to bubble up like ISIS. Which hurt Europe a lot more than it did the US (think mass refugee exodus, attacks etc). They caused these problems.

I think it's great that Europe has more ideals than just money. We still care about all our citizens, not the top 0,01% that has all the money.

> If the EU had a cohesive strategy on these things, you can 100% guarantee Russia wouldn’t be starting wars along its borders. Russia is a small, weak economy compared to a theoretical unified EU (the irony of that phrase!)

Well especially because we don't have a good nuclear deterrent. And this is nothing new. Putin has been massacring ex-soviet states during all of his career. Checznia, Georgia etc. But nobody gave a crap in Europe. Part of this is that the EU had their designs on Ukraine also and this is why we suddenly care. I don't like this expansionist EU. Yes, I do think the Ukrainians should be helped and they should be free to choose who to align with. But it's a bit hypocritical that we didn't help the others before them.

For the nuclear deterrent we should have worked on that more but America was always against that and they assured they would protect us. Clearly now we can stop trusting them. Even after Trump I don't think relations will ever be the same because we know there can always be another Trump.

But with a deterrent we will be fine. Putin is not going to invade Poland if he knows Moscow will be nuked the same day.

> Also, the reason Finland didn’t join NATO before is not because Finland felt they were so strong on their own. It’s because Finland didn’t want to piss off Russia in the slightest way and end up like Ukraine. An inability to make formal alignments comes from a position of weakness, not strength.

So, in other words appeasement. Which is something that you are accusing the EU of now.

I just don't think you can expect the strongman EU to emerge and there are many people like myself that don't want that to happen.

Also, military blocs (NATO) and economic (EU) are very different things. After NATO we should just form a new military one.
>They didn't learn from the last time, when U.S. soybean farmers got screwed

They absolutely learned. They learned those soybean farmers they screwed through outright incompetence or being too stupid to govern would still consume their propaganda and happily vote for them again.
What is the point of discussing politics? (not rhetorical). What physical changes in the world do you expect afterwards? You won't undo indoctrination. It just upsets people.
Is this a sign republicans in congress may do something?
Ok but why would you need a "humanities course" to appreciate art?
Exactly. There's no state outside the context. The difference in performance between the non-reasoning model and the reasoning model comes from the extra tokens in the context. The relationship isn't strictly a logical one, just as it isn't for non-reasoning LLMs, but the process is autoregression and happens in plain sight.
They’ll do that now.
The unemployment rate is near historic lows. Apparently there’s plenty of jobs going round.

Not that that’s going to last if actual economic headwinds hit the economy.

Are relations and allies impossible to have with trade tariffs? Historically we have had both, I'm not sure why they would be considered mutually exclusive.
The problem is the same, no matter if you look at it formally or informally. You could get your set theory axioms wrong, for example, but you would still be formal. Oh wait, you have a proof that set theory is consistent, right?
>The calculus is pretty complicated. Economies of scale become a factor - is one large global factory more efficient than separate regional facilities? Also income disparities; Americans can more afford to pay a 25% premium on a good than most of the rest of the world can; so maybe you just make Americans pay more. Or, maybe you do both, have a world-wide facility and a American facility, but still charge Americans the tariff premium, and pocket the 25% as profit instead (steel producers model; also pickup trucks); this works well in conjunction with the USA's low business taxes.

25% margins are huge. Sounds like that margin is someone else's opportunity....which is exactly what the Administration hopes will happen.

There is an opportunity here: Cozy up to Trump, have him give you a ton of government money and spin up a company that will take those margins.
I agree getting shipped off to a concentration camp ("detention center") without resource to justice is not on par with getting thrown out of a helicopter, but it's starting to get pretty damn close. And Trump is only getting started. If he had 7 years like the Junta did, we might wind up with our own contingent of desaparecidos.
They’ll make things harder to afford but I get your point. They had one way to make money which was their factory and now it’s gone and orange man is promising he’ll bring it back. It’s a no brainer, of course you go all in on that one hope that you have.
Don't they have to buy things too?
