41,789,800 | comment | alexpotato | 2024-10-09T16:33:26 | null | Rory Sutherland has a great take on this which is (paraphrasing and my own interpretation):<p>Innovation is a lot easier when you have a lot of money to spend on R&D. In order to get that money, you can't compete on price b/c that's a race to the bottom. Instead, you want to focus on quality and/or customer service so that you become a monopoly and then can use monopoly profits to innovate to higher quality products and services.<p>Clip: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@rorysutherlandclips/video/7314765561513200928" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@rorysutherlandclips/video/7314765561...</a> | null | null | 41,784,599 | 41,784,287 | null | [

Most of my bare except: are followed by import pdb;pdb.set_trace() so I can figure out what went wrong and then fix my code so that it never happens again, but I still leave it there because I I don't have time to consider the millions of ways my hastily thrown-together python script is going to fail nor do I want to game out how many different errors could happen. If Python would have been this hard to use 20 years ago, I wouldn't have been able to learn to program. | null | null | 41,788,983 | 41,788,026 | null | null | null | null |

41,789,806 | comment | Voloskaya | 2024-10-09T16:34:04 | null | How would you implement that in startup world for example?
It's very common for startups to be valued at ~20M$ right out of the gate in seed stage, not because the company is worth $20M, but because at $20M valuation it allows the VCs to invest say $4M and only take 20%, no one want the VCs to take more (not even the VCs themselves) because otherwise it would mean the founders are left with too little equity too soon and probably won't care about their business anymore.<p>Now, as one of the founder, maybe you own ~40% of that business, so now your paper net worth is $8M, and just made $8M of unrealized gains in that year, how are you going to pay that?
There is no way you will ever find someone to buy $1M of your share at the price of that round, you probably wouldn't find anyone willing to buy your entire paper $8M for $1M, because again, the company isn't worth $20M yet.<p>This is true until pretty late in a VC backed company, most round aren't priced based on how a realistic buyer would value the company, they are priced based on complex dynamics. Even a large number of unicorn startups founders in the Series C/D stages would have paper wealth of potentially 500M range, but absolutely no way to find 50M.<p>So, you effectively have no way to pay that tax.<p>This system actually already pseudo-exist in Canada in specific conditions: If you stop being a tax resident of the country, all your assets are considered realized the year you leave and you must pay taxes on them. Which is effectively impossible for most startup founders, because again, your stock isn't actually liquid. This means you can't stop being a tax resident of Canada until your companies either dies or you exit somehow. To be clear you can't easily just choose to remain tax resident of Canada while living abroad, Canada gets to decide, to maximize your chance you must prove that you still have ties, so e.g. you have to keep a home, you have to keep your bank accounts opened there, you must visit often enough etc.<p>Canada revenue agency offers one alternative: You leave the country but leave your stock in their keep, on the day you actually realize the gains, they will take what they were owed, which sounds great, except if the company fails, or you realize gains at a lower valuation, they still consider you owe them what was computed the year you left, not the day you exit, so there is a real risk of being in debt for the rest of your life. | null | null | 41,789,517 | 41,780,569 | null | [

41,789,822 | comment | NoMoreNicksLeft | 2024-10-09T16:35:17 | null | Your landlord knows moving is a hassle that you'll avoid if it means paying a little more. So he raises it just enough that you won't just pack up the Uhaul and go live there. Then over the next few years, he does the same again, when he can, until he recoups the property tax, or near enough of it.<p>Some landlords are bad at guessing the correct numbers. Others are savants. In aggregate, renters end up paying almost all of it over time if not immediately, and those that don't end up suffering in other ways (when the landlord just stops paying the tax entirely, but taking your rent, the building gets sold, and you don't get to renew the lease because they're going to knock it down and build luxury condos). | null | null | 41,789,447 | 41,780,569 | null | null | null | null |

Instead of filling the endless field of a form to enter my airline ticket or hotel reservation, I just forward their the confirmation email, and in most cases, they parse it. This is the feature you should consider adding.<p>Another comment I have is that the product description on the web page is sparse, so I was hesitant to sign up. Maybe there should be an "About" section?<p>A modern TripIt replacement is overdue and I will be glad to try alternatives. | null | null | 41,788,246 | 41,788,246 | null | [

41,789,851 | comment | bloopernova | 2024-10-09T16:37:14 | null | Question for those who use Deno in their $job: How well does Jest work with Deno to test TypeScript? I was wondering because the announcement says it supports typescript natively, which is intriguing after I've had issues with node+jest+es6+typescript.<p>(Issues = mts vs ts, configuration problems, lots of conflicting documentation. It doesn't help that I'm mostly DevOps and don't spend every day on writing Lambdas for AWS etc)<p>Edited to add: The installation page[1] talks about asdf[2] but I find mise-en-place[3] to be faster than asdf.<p>1: <a href="https://docs.deno.com/runtime/getting_started/installation/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.deno.com/runtime/getting_started/installation/</a><p>2: <a href="https://asdf-vm.com/" rel="nofollow">https://asdf-vm.com/</a><p>3: <a href="https://mise.jdx.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://mise.jdx.dev/</a><p>Mise/asdf are pretty great. A .tool-versions file in your homedir will set up default versions, and you can override them with .tool-versions in your repos. And because 2 different tools can read those versioning files, you can include them in the repo and pin versions. | null | null | 41,789,551 | 41,789,551 | null | null | null | null |

41,789,855 | comment | collinvandyck76 | 2024-10-09T16:37:35 | null | I wouldn't say that it's hard to grok.. even a year ago I found that rust projects lent themselves well towards understanding the project structure due to rust being fairly explicit about most things, and with an LSP integration I could follow along fairly easily compared to something like a python or a ruby project.<p>Go is just easier to read. You don't have a lot of generics typically to assemble in your mental model, no lifetimes to consider, no explicit interface implementations, and so on. All of those things in Rust are great for what they do, but I think it makes it more difficult to breeze through a codebase compared to Go. | null | null | 41,789,268 | 41,785,511 | null | null | null | null |

While yes, I agree, that bare excepts are often a source of bugs, I don't think it should be the language's responsibility to nanny the programmer on such things. To me, this seems to only reduce the functionality of the language. If explicit exception handling is necessary, let the programmer make that decision. | null | null | 41,788,026 | 41,788,026 | null | null | null | null |

41,789,866 | comment | nextos | 2024-10-09T16:38:37 | null | AlphaFold is excellent engineering, but I struggle calling this a breakthrough in science. Take T cell receptor (TCR) proteins, which are produced pseudo-randomly by somatic recombination, yielding an enormous diversity. AlphaFold's predictions for those are not useful. A breakthrough in folding would have produced rules that are universal. What was produced instead is a really good regressor in the space of proteins where some known training examples are closeby.<p>If I was the Nobel Committee, I would have waited a bit to see if this issue aged well. Also, in terms of giving credit, I think those who invented pairwise and multiple alignment dynamic programming algorithms deserved some recognition. AlphaFold built on top of those. They are the cornerstone of the entire field of biological sequence analysis. Interestingly, ESM was trained on raw sequences, not on multiple alignments. And while it performed worse, it generalizes better to unseen proteins like TCRs. | null | null | 41,788,659 | 41,786,101 | null | [

I enjoyed the book when I was young and it did launch my interest in logic but reading Godel’s personal writings, he had great respect for Russell and literally wrote in a paper defending Russell that he would not have made his discovery without the Principia Mathematica, because it showed him an instance of a consistent language and then he took the further step of noticing you could do this infinitely. My recollection was Hasshelhoff thought Russell was a kind of dunce who didn’t know what he was doing. He was putting in the fucking work for others to build on, and it was incredibly hard work if you read Russell’s autobiography of that time. | null | null | 41,757,983 | 41,756,432 | null | null | null | null |

However, I was really looking for your explanation of the horrors that could happen rather than what the suggestion was. Thinking through a bit more, yeah, implicit re-raise does have some pretty bad outcomes if you can't change code in a dependency.<p>It still feels like `deno` is somewhat on the right track where permissions are dropped by default, but It'd Be Nice(tm) if programming languages enabled that a bit easier.<p><pre><code> import sales_tax_calculator as xyz with [ cap.NETWORK, cap.FILESYSTEM, cap.USB, ...etc... ]
xyz.calculate( sales_price, state=user.address.state )
</code></pre>
We're implicitly allowing imported libraries the full power of the containing programming language where with promiscuous code sharing (trending towards a low-trust environment), it'd be a lot better to _not_ give `cap.FS, NETWORK, USB, etc...` by default.<p>Bringing it back around: `import somelib with [ cap.BARE_EXCEPT, cap.RAISE ]` or something to control their handling of "unknown" exceptions is interesting. Let them handle any exceptions or interrupts they've authored, but let me explicitly have control over catching stuff that isn't "from them".<p>...an extended version of dependency injection or inversion of control. | null | null | 41,789,471 | 41,788,026 | null | [

Our project wasn't working by coincidence, the dependency resolver was flagging incompatibilities that simply didn't apply to our case, and began refusing to build a stable working project. Yes it's more risky to override that kind of guardrail, that's why I would only do it when I know the risks and tradeoffs and determine it's the best course of action on balance. I strongly believe that tools should ultimately work for the user, over dogmatic principles.<p>I'm fine with the those safety guardrails being the default behavior, but removing any sort of escape hatch because the pip devs think that they know better than the users of the tool 100% of the time is what I object to.<p>In the end we ended up ditching pip entirely for this use case and ended up with a much better system, with absolutely no disasters as a result, but we had a burn a lot of time and angst that could have been spent on actual problems we were trying to solve. | null | null | 41,789,157 | 41,788,026 | null | [
