May be an over simplification here, I’ve done both and found most web app backends to be more trivial than embedded programming projects.

Probably an encrypted payload to be forwarded to apples ‘find my’ services

Can you elaborate on the benefits of what intel built here as opposed to doing the processing on host machines? My company uses these in some products but I never investigated the market or trade space for this type of device

Usually I have to type :%s, and a trailing /g, you can omit those?

Reframing the analysis helps show that your thoughts still fit within the proposed model:

Sundials and astronomical observations are not principle mechanisms of clocks.. they are a window of observation into the clock system of moving planetary bodies. Those planetary bodies indeed follow the thermodynamic principles outlined.

Imagine you had a rotating disc occluding a light source with a thin slot cut in the disc such that every rotation at one small interval the light source is visible. Rotate it using, say, a coiled spring, and you have a clock, revealing a pulse of light with a constant frequency. This is easy enough to fit into the mold of a thermodynamic clock as proposed in the article.

Now, we can think of earth orbiting the sun similarly to our disc rotating in front of the light source…. Every time earth rotates on its axis, half is exposed to the light and half is not…. Quite a wide ‘slot’ cut into our planetary ‘disc’, not useful for much more than knowing what day it is.

All a sundial does is narrow that ‘slot’ to make a more accurate observation of our planetary clock’s state.

Same goes for observing other planets / stars etc. While these planetary motions appear to be ‘regular and sustained’ on our timescales, they are still subject to the same thermodynamic principles as all other matter, and reach lower entropy over time, until the heat death of the universe :(

Someone posted about two bodies orbiting each other, and not know time forward from backward.. again, you can’t ignore physics, those orbits will measurably and irreversibly decay over time until the bodies collide.. just not on timescales that would effect our species using them as clocks!

Thanks, needed to hear this today.

Out if curiosity, how did you invest in a YC company so early? Did you have a personal connection to that particular company or were looking to invest in startups?

One stack everywhere is not a ground breaking concept since Java did it from an architecture stand point, but Electron is doing it in a new and unique way: one stack across across desktop, web, mobile - device classes instead of just architecture / OS. Same concept applied differently as I see it.

What do those window management tools accomplish that Rectangle doesn’t for free? I recently switched to macOS as a daily driver for work and the non-existent window management in macOS is disappointing

Thanks for the perspective. For someone who used to study EE / basic digital design but took the software route as a career, do you have suggestions on FPGA projects to contribute to on the side akin to the software world’s ability to contribute to an endless number of open source projects? I would love to chip away at learning how to work with anything more complex than the academic Xilinx boards we used in school years ago.

It blows my mind that TI has such a stranglehold on the educational calculator market. Producing a TI-84 must be a few bucks vs. the >$100 they sold them for when I was in school.

Does anybody know of open source alternatives that could be pushed in the classroom? There’s no way they can patent math..

The 12 mini fits this niche well if you haven’t checked it out yet

My non-new-grad employment with Microsoft had a 1yr vesting cliff. As others have previously mentioned, as long as it’s an established company I see no issue with this since you get a solid signing bonus if continued cash flow is the concern.

Look into the formal definition of a field in physics, and particle / wave duality, to gain clarity on electrons vs electromagnetic waves.. the math of wave mechanics is generally common across waves propagating in different types of fields, although I’m not sure if that’s what you’re getting at.

This exists via recent NLP models, I’ll see if I can dig up a link…

What jurisdictions include such restrictions? Just curious, have never heard of this.

Great stories, thanks for sharing!

This is the same line of thinking a lot of ‘coding boot camps’ seem to take- why learn 4 years of computer science and engineering fundamentals when you’ll just be using node.js in the workplace?

A dangerous trap IMO- both are valuable but incredibly different. The former is teaching a narrow-scoped trade as opposed to learning a full-fledged engineering discipline. The latter is much more generalizable and equips you to understand / build / use most tools going forward, rather than overfitting use only to the current fad of high-level tooling.

Exactly. This is why Eth has a wildly superior value proposition than pretty much any other coin, because it drives a useful blockchain ecosystem and isn’t just another stagnant store of value…

One of my favorite bundles of docs to peruse through from time to time. I go in with a specific question and end up going down the rabbit hole of learning a ton of other interesting design patterns instead

Well this is just false. You are not at all responsible for a company’s actions just because you are a shareholder. HN is evidently quite out of its depth with these kinds of threads.

They weren’t given financial data from company execs… instead a research report on pathology / virology. Cut and dry, not insider trading. Vote to pass new / other legislation if it bothers you that politicians can trade stocks freely.

It was a big source of internal pride when I was at Microsoft. As far as tech companies go, Satya’s version of Microsoft really does give a damn about people, including it’s employees. Great place to work.

Are you up for explaining these gists? We use nix extensively at work and yet I’m having trouble wrapping my head around these. Node dependencies have been a thorn in our nixification of some packages, C / C++ has come easily.

We nixify all in-house development packages at work, it isn’t that bad once you get the hang of it, and comes with an awesome amount of ‘just works’ when integrating packages on custom devices down the road.

Do you employ others within your LLC? If not, how do you drum up clients / contracts? Would it have been possible to drum up some contracts at lower hour amounts while still working full-time?

Which do you prefer? I’ve been rocking the Bose QC35 II’s for years but am wondering if in-ear solutions can compete now for commuting on foot (metro, buses, etc.)

Most HN folks interested in hacking on an AR platform will be happy to know there’s a far more capable open source software and hardware platform:

https://docs.projectnorthstar.org/getting-started/faq

100 deg FOV, as many functions / connectivity features as a HoloLens 2, now that’s awesome. You can bypass the virtue signaling, limited app ecosystem, and high price tag and build whatever you’d like.

Don’t take it too literally, the point is YTD is still positive and 1YR charts are ridiculously in the green, beyond any bull’s dream not too long ago
