You’re saying you invested the equivalent of the car’s sticker price into an index fund upon purchasing, and draw from that to pay the installments on the loan used to purchase the car? How is this different than just investing all your spare cash? Mindset shift reserving the capital to cover the cars value, like the envelope budgeting approach?

What other companies do you like? DJI products are impressive, wonder if I’m missing awareness on other similarly well formed tech

Did you do a stint in big tech companies prior to going freelance? Is it just you or did you form a team of devs?

Curious to know your journey to viably being your own boss

Implying GitHub in its current form will die and functionality will gradually switch over to Az DevOps?

Or what am I missing here..

Couldn’t agree more. Recently hit the stage of needing things to ‘just work’ to free up time in other directions, whereas I used to constantly load new roms from xda onto a rooted pixel, or tinker with getting coreboot to run on an old thinkpad with arch..

Now it’s iOS / macOS / iCloud and a headless Ubuntu box. Never been more productive and never had more free time. Choose your battles.

Interested in learning more about this, if you can point me to the source data somewhere online. Unless you meant your particular company found this in which case I’m guessing you can’t go much further into it.

This would be really insightful if possible, thank you!

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.
