You didn&#x27;t start a discussion with a good argument from begin with though.<p>And i personally really think if people from a different field, jump into a new field and revolutionize it, a nobel price is not a bad thing to appreciate this effort.

Compassion is supposed to be the key reason for mankind becoming the dominant species on our planet, and with intelligence being key to survival, it would follow that compassion would be a key marker for intelligence. A lot of scientists generally fit this characterization, a classical example being Einstein. As a counter-example, a lot of people regarded as poor leaders would probably also rank low for perceived compassion.

No, English was not formed the same way as creoles are. A creole is a language that develops from a pidgin. That&#x27;s a process of increasing complexity. English underwent _simplification_ due to significant contact with non-native speakers. That&#x27;s the opposite process and gets referred to as &quot;creolisation&quot;, which happens to languages all the time. Almost all the Romance languages underwent some degree of amount of it. Some pidgins and jargons might&#x27;ve developed along the way and influenced the change, but the key difference with creolisation is that the modern language didn&#x27;t primarily develop out of these.

This is small-p politics.<p>In a hierarchical organization, you can give directions to your direct reports. You cannot give directions sideways. You certainly cannot give directions upwards, unless it&#x27;s for something legally binding like safety.<p>This means you need to ask nicely, to persuade, invite, and probably compromise. It&#x27;s a very different set of skills.<p>(a &quot;non hierarchical&quot; organization has a hierarchy too, but it&#x27;s more fluid and hard to see)

I&#x27;m not 100% sure what you mean by narrow string, but if you refer to std::string vs std::wstring, then std::string is perfectly fine for encoding UTF8, as that uses 8 bit code units which are guaranteed to fit in a char. On the other hand, std::wstring would be a bizarre choice for UTF8 on any platform.

There is no other industry that is equally driven by fad and buzzword. Try to hide a simple fact that a whole motivation behind SaaS preaching is greed, and bait users with innovative &quot;local-first&quot; option.<p>It is actually kinda funny to read cries about &quot;enshitiffication&quot; and praises for more web-based bullshittery on the same site, although both are clearly connected and supporting each other. Good material for studying false consciousness among dev proletariat.

In many cases, we didn’t deliver sooner than we could have, because my solution had roughly equivalent implementation costs to the solution that was chosen instead. In some cases the bug was discovered before we’d even delivered the feature to the customers at all.

In that video, Penrose explicitly claims that quantum mechanics &quot;is wrong&quot;. He means that the equations of quantum mechanics are not sufficient to describe the universe. He thinks you need some additional mechanics to cause wave function collapse.<p>Wheeler, on the other hand, does not claim that quantum mechanics is wrong or incomplete, but suggests an interpretation of the equations. So in my mind they are taking very different approaches.<p>I watched the later part of the video you linked where Penrose describes the thought experiment with the planet without any conscious agents. He describes wave function collapse as an objective process that is &quot;caused&quot; by conscious measurement. Whereas my understanding of Wheeler&#x27;s ideas is that wave function collapse is a subjective process.

Show HN: Handinger – API to extract data from the Internet
A few months ago, I was developing a bookmark manager for <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fika.bar" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fika.bar</a>. I needed a way to fetch metadata, screenshots, and markdown content from websites. Since Fika is a donation-based product, I couldn&#x27;t afford any of the providers out there, so I decided to build instead of buy.<p>&quot;Easy,&quot; I thought. But weeks later, I found myself building data pipelines, implementing proxy rotation schemes, and dealing with TLS fingerprinting. Not fun—and definitely not how I wanted to spend my time. My product was a bookmark manager, not a data extraction service, yet most of my efforts ended up there!<p>It turns out that the Internet has become a difficult place to extract information from. Many websites have implemented measures against data extraction, making it more challenging and expensive than it should be to build products that rely on web data.<p>Handinger is my attempt to fix this. During that time, I also noticed that people training LLMs need to fetch data at scale. So, I extracted the work I&#x27;d done for Fika and built a very affordable, general-purpose scraping API. I managed to optimize it so I can price it at only 0.0005 EUR per URL—peanuts!<p>Try it out and let me know what you think :)

It may not even be that nefarious — perhaps they did the hack “for the lulz” then had pangs of conscience afterward and scrabbled around for a (false) excuse.<p>In any case, the IA was in some cases the only public host of important documents about Palestinian history, which are currently inaccessible, to say nothing about how important the Wayback Machine has been over the past year.

If there is no product, there is no need of any architecture. By the way, multiple architectures will give you different product features. So, what do people need in the product drives the functional architecture, while regulation, performance and pricing will drive the technical architecture.<p>Excessive craftsmanship and over-engineering may kill your product as much as over-selling features may kill the project.

&gt; Concept 9: Eval and Uplevel<p>That&#x27;s where it gets really criminal: Dynamic scoping rules. There is no lexical scoping and hence no closures. If you use `uplevel`, your procedure works or doesn&#x27;t, depending on the caller. There is a reason Tcl is the last language that uses this braindead mechanism.

Some of this is what stackoverflow calls an X&#x2F;Y problem; someone has a problem, got halfway down a route to a solution, and now is talking to you. It can be quite difficult to dig down into what the actual original problem was, then persuade them to back up and pursue what is in your opinion a better solution.

By the way, if you truly care about NP-optimization, e.g. MaxSAT algorithms, there&#x27;s a lot of good work being done, just check out [1]. It&#x27;s fun, and useful. You could make &gt;$1B just by slightly improving global logistics via such algorithms. Yes, scalability can be an issue, but it only takes some work to cut the problems into chunks, and do local optimization at each level, rather than total global optimization. Yes, it won&#x27;t be a global optimum, but likely significantly better than what&#x27;s out there right now. They already use these algorithms for e.g. train and bus schedule optimization.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxsat-evaluations.github.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxsat-evaluations.github.io&#x2F;</a>

&gt; It’s software engineerings job to figure out, how, to do it, not if it should be done.<p>This isn&#x27;t true in the explicit sense you&#x27;ve written it at least. How it should be done is very dependent on if what was specifically asked should be done.<p>Client says they want automatic payment processing without users approval. Technical capability, absolutely.<p>Client says they want to disable unsubscribe payments options to retain more subscription revenue.<p>All can be done from a technical standpoint, but its an engineers job to explain to the client that it can&#x27;t be done that way.

Most HN users already use languages with GC which are more memory safe than Rust. People still use C++ either because they are maintaining existing code, or they work in domains where memory safety is not really necessary (games, HFT, ML). Apart from these, C++ is rarely used in the real world.<p>&gt; practitioners is &quot;No, I don&#x27;t like change, therefore you&#x27;re crazy for explaining why I should change&quot;<p>Who <i>exactly</i> are you referring to here?

&gt; Fortunately the Customer asked the question &quot;Why does the app work fine across the 1.544Mbps T1 to our other office?&quot; (The T1 had sub-5ms latency.)<p>That reminds me on the <i>atrocious</i> performance of Apple&#x27;s TimeMachine with small files. Running backups on SSDs is fast, but cable ethernet is noticeably worse, and even WiFi 6 is utterly disgraceful.<p>To my knowledge you can&#x27;t even go and say &quot;do not include <i>any</i> folder named vendor (PHP) or node_modules (JS)&quot;, because (at least on my machine) these stacks tend to be the worst offenders in creating hundreds of thousands of small files.

They&#x27;re increased, and some things are just obviously slow at least without extra effort to setup things like gpu pass-through. But is it worth basically turning back the clock on your computer&#x27;s performance a few years to live in a world where a random click from HN or reddit can&#x27;t quietly compromise your entire computer? I think so.<p>Probably the biggest thing is to have a lot of ram, because if you&#x27;re really using the virtualization it&#x27;s a bit ram inefficient.<p>Many things I expected to be hard or annoying just turn out to be non-issues. Qubes has lots of good automation to make it pretty seamless to use multiple VMs.<p>I was already a fedora user, so I just copied my old home into a new app vm and was instantly productive. Then over time I weaned myself off the monolithic legacy vm into partitioned VMs.

Worth adding that managers have to report upwards. So you not only have to be able to generate sympathy for someone who presumably knows your product &amp; team well, you have to arm your manager to go upwards with a good story about where your team is spending its efforts that even less technical less intimately connected business operators will need to at least check off on.

That isn&#x27;t emotional manipulation. It is what would get called &quot;good communication&quot; or maybe even &quot;empathy&quot; on a slow day. If someone is talking to a salesperson it can&#x27;t reasonably be seen as manipulation when they explain why said person should buy the thing. That is the point of the conversation.

On paid ads – I’ve also noticed indie devs often dismiss them. It just takes time (and some money) to find what works for your product. You&#x27;ve got to keep experimenting until something works and when it works, double down on it. I&#x27;ve had success with both search ads and display ads.<p>If your product converts well, your ads will usually work in your favor. Although, designing a good ad creative is like building a product: it needs a clear value and a strong CTA to drive clicks.<p>Meta ads, for example, has been my top source of users for one of my apps[1].<p>[1] Unwind - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;unwind-daily-breathwork&#x2F;id1470613384" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;unwind-daily-breathwork&#x2F;id1470...</a>

Introducing my Shopify App Review Analyzer MVP<p>Over the past few days, I’ve been working on an MVP designed to streamline competitor review analysis for Shopify apps. While I’m not a professional developer, I’ve built this tool with the help of AI tools like Cursor, ClaudeAI and ChatGPT.<p>Why I Built This: As we work toward launching our Shopify app, I’ve found that analysing competitor reviews is a crucial part of our strategy. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any reliable tools that effectively gather and analyse these reviews. So, I decided to create one myself.<p>How It Works:<p>Input a Shopify app URL.<p>The app fetches the first 50 reviews and generates a SWOT analysis using AI (powered by OpenAI&#x27;s API and scraping tools).<p>Future Plans:<p>Extend support to other SaaS review platforms like G2, Capterra, and more.<p>Implement a seamless sign-up process.<p>Monetize the app by offering more in-depth competitor analysis and access to a larger dataset (e.g., more reviews).<p>Current Status &amp; Feedback: This MVP is still in early testing, and while I’ve worked hard to make it functional, there might be bugs, especially when handling multiple users. Also, since I’m paying for each API request (OpenAI, scraping), I’d appreciate it if you could sign up to help gauge real interest and provide valuable feedback.<p>If there’s enough interest, I plan to collaborate with a developer to refine the app further.<p>Try it out: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app-review-analyzer-5cebd7de6aa0.herokuapp.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app-review-analyzer-5cebd7de6aa0.herokuapp.com&#x2F;</a>

Not sure if mobile carriers would allow the required ports to be routed, and the connection is usually behind CGNAT, so you can&#x27;t accept connections from the outside to receive emails. Many home ISPs however can give you a (mostly) unfiltered public IP that once paired with a dynamic DNS service can be reached from the outside. Once the network part is solved, a small cheap box (*Pi like board, mini PC, etc) can be set up to act as mail server, with firewall rules on the router that don&#x27;t expose anything else to the outside.

Yeah I mean it depends if you want the benefits of OTP or not. To be honest, while it was nice as an all in one solution 50 years ago, these days there are all sorts of solutions for deployment so I wouldn&#x27;t want to choose a programming language just because of its additional features in the form of OTP, especially if it entails dynamic typing or slower speed.

The insight in languages like Rust is that aliasing is actually fine <i>if</i> we can guarantee all the aliases are immutable and that&#x27;s facilitated by default reference immutability. [These alias related] Bugs only arise when you have <i>mutable</i> aliasing which is why that doesn&#x27;t exist in safe Rust.<p>That paper also highlights that <i>checking</i> is crucial, their initial Euclid compiler just required that there&#x27;s no aliasing, but never checked. So of course programmers will make mistakes and without the checks those mistakes leak into running code. The finished compiler checked, which means the mistake won&#x27;t even compile.<p>Shifting left in this way is huge, WUFFS shifts bounds misses left - when you write code which <i>can</i> have a bounds miss in C of course it just does have a bounds miss at runtime, there&#x27;s a stray read or overwrite and chaos results maybe it&#x27;s Remote Code Execution, in Rust the miss panics at runtime - maybe a Denial of Service or at least a major inconvenience. But in WUFFS it won&#x27;t compile - you find out about your bug likely before it gets sent out for code review.<p>Most software can&#x27;t be written in WUFFS, but &quot;most&quot; is doing a lot of work there, plenty of code which should be in WUFFS or an analogous language is not, meaning mistakes are not shifted left.

Private equity market is comprised of private equity firms and private investment sources such as HNWI, family planning offices, institutions.<p>Think of them like a few steps further along than VC’s. Typically VC’s are buying potential and emerging businesses. More often than not PE are buying established business.<p>The PE firms employees create a value thesis for a certain vertical. They create a “fund” to allocate capital towards an investment thesis. Within the fund they are the general partner responsible for making investments. They also put up their own money. For the rest of the money in the fund, they raise money from those investment sources (family offices etc.) and they are known as limited partners. A single firm can operate one or many funds depending on size and investment strategy.<p>So a Firm, starts a fund comprising of itself as a General partner, and fundraise from limited partners.<p>The firm then looks for investment opportunities with a 3-10 year horizon to exit. So they basically buy a bunch of companies that match their investment thesis, improve them in some way or extract value from them and then sell the results to either another fund or to a private source or eventually IPO.<p>In the pre-purchase phase the firm is assessing investment opportunities and doing their due dilligence to decide if the target company is a good buy or not, they’re also working with banks to structure the capital needed for purchase and fundraising with the limited partners.<p>Post acquisition the purchased company is now a “portfolio company” and Firm appointed management team is responsible for executing the value creation plan they set out in their investment thesis. If the existing management were good they could be the same people as pre acquisition or they could be entirely new.<p>Lets look at an example.<p>Say within a given US state there are several dentists. Each one alone is run by the practicing dentists and they have to pay for all of their supplies.<p>A private equity fund thinks they can run the business parts of this better. They buy 10 dental practices and now they can negotiate bulk with providers. They can centralise the business process and software and auxiliary staff. Now it only costs 7 dental practices worth of capital to effectively run 10 practices via synergies from being able to centralise a bunch of systems and negotiate in bulk.<p>Later they sell the entire dentistry group for a profit.<p>That’s the basic idea, there are obviously nuances at every step.

Cloudflare &quot;splits&quot; their reverse proxies functionally into different processes; TLS termination may happen in a different process from WAF, or cache access, or origin fetch. I&#x27;m sure other large CDNs do similar things.<p>As others have said, &quot;processing layers&quot; in contemporary network service architecture don&#x27;t align that well with OSI layers anymore, though.

I agree, I think it&#x27;s mainly due to indie devs being cash poor and time rich at the beginning of the product&#x27;s lifecycle, so they do more organic marketing (or none at all, lol) but then they never learn to invest in ads. There really should be an ads course for indie devs, or something to that effect. I learned ads due to running an entirely different business and it&#x27;s pretty successful, but I&#x27;ve only scratched the surface for using ads in typical SaaS products.

If my job is to prioritize work and understand all the tradeoffs involved in that work, you can be damn sure I&#x27;ll go understand the tradeoffs. If Product don&#x27;t understand that technical debt makes things slower, and <i>exactly how much slower</i> it makes them, then they aren&#x27;t doing their jobs.<p>My current role is &quot;Director of Product and Technology&quot;, so I have to look after both domains. I have deep knowledge in technology, but if I&#x27;m not going around the company asking other departments what the impact of the work they want is (and what happens when they don&#x27;t get it), I&#x27;m just plain bad at the product side of my role.

Yes and you also don&#x27;t need to reach all your customers directly. If you make a good product word of it will spread naturally. Ads actually inhibit that by taking over people&#x27;s attention and pre-empting any interested customers from finding you by showing them your competitors first. So you end up paying for the reach that the advertisement industry took away from you in the first place.<p>Of course, word of mouth requires you to actually make a good product whereas with advertisment it&#x27;s enough if your product looks good.

&gt; proficient with C# which is even faster to write and debug.<p>I don&#x27;t get it - why are we ignoring the fact that C# necessarily implies distributing CLR? NativeAOT doesn&#x27;t work for everything.

He&#x27;s definitely not talking about 5 line functions and DRY.

Servo exists, in Rust. I don&#x27;t know of any browser engine in C#&#x2F;Java?<p>Also, modern browsers as a whole outsize entire OSes (sans browser)...

It’s extremely mild, not even as strong as coffee. It takes 1&#x2F;2 a kilo of coca leaves to make 1g of cocaine!<p>I often wonder why nobody has CRISPR-ed the genes from the Coca plant that make the alkaloids into yeast by now… given the $100bn market you’d expect someone to give this or another process a go.

yeah. there is a difference between &quot;Speed money&quot; and actual bribes for officials to look the other way when you are doing clearly not legal stuff.

I don’t like working in teams where some people have been there for much longer than everyone else.<p>It’s very difficult to get opportunities for growth. Most of the challenging work is given to the seniors, because it needs to be done as fast as possible, and it’s faster in the short term for them to do it than it would be for you to do with with their help.<p>It’s very difficult for anyone else to build credibility with stakeholders. The stakeholders always want a second opinion from the veterans, and don’t trust you to have already sought that opinion before proceeding, if you thought it was necessary to do so (no matter how many times you demonstrate that you do this). Even if the senior agrees with you, the stakeholder’s perception isn’t that you are competent, it’s that you were able to come to the right conclusion <i>only because the senior has helped you</i>.
