There’s a huge difference between losing control and giving equity. Namely, 50% (and that’s assuming equal voting eight per share). Why do you not want to give equity at all then?

I quite don’t get the math behind this. That’s a 50 person company with 100M of revenues. Their yearly operating costs are probably around 5M. Even if said revenues spanned 10 years they would still be making 5M in profit each year. Since t

The datasheet says it features a "Cortex M4 with 16 KB of instruction cache and 16 KB of data cache". As far as I know, M4 don't have L1 cache. Maybe they're using an M7? Or there's just simply no cache? https:&#x2

Ha, interesting! I always assumed a .org was at least a dollar. Mind sharing a link?

Well they’re “free” if you buy them alongside hosting. Still even if cheap, that’s quite a commitment: finding a domain, paying it, writing a custom (albeit simple) website, uploading it, etc...

Wait a minute, did somebody get so pissed at flatpak that they bought a domain name just to specifically host that single blog post?

For non-lookup csv-to-csv transformation, yes, I guess your tool can easily beat any SQL DB since it can work without any need for an external storage. That also applies to sequential-scan queries too. You make a good point :-) Regarding th

Seems great at first, but how is that better than piping the whole CSV file into SQLite and then doing the processing there? I think CSV is great for data exchange but not so great for data processing. By using SQLite (or any other DB actua

Every other month an amazing project from Fabrice Bellard comes back under the spotlight on HN. I guess you could train a ML model on previous posts and make a automatic karma-generating machine :-)

Very interesting, thanks for sharing this. Out of curiosity I dug a little bit and found a much more comprehensive writeup on this amazing piece of history: https://www.cairn.info/revue-histoire-economie-et-societe-20...

I find Ruby’s stdlib a pleasure to use.

How would that compare to, say, an HTML template + wkhtmltopdf? Also I feel like the biggest gripe with generating (long) PDFs from HTML are things such as page numbering, orphans and widows, semantically correct word-wrapping, page margins

How is the price settled upon? I mean, why ask $35k specifically? Why not 3.5k or 350k?

Well... Apparently there is a way to get those businesses to stop :-D

For some reason nobody talks about the extreme nuisance of those bikes. Customers would just drop them literally anywhere : on the sidewalk blocking pedestrians, right in the middle of the street blocking cars, in front of building doors p

I quite don't understand the appeal. If you want a PPC laptop, just buy an iBook G4, they sell for $30 on eBay…

Good points. The 30% increase and the not-straight-distance could explain a 50% slowdown. But here we have a 500% difference. Also the number of hops probably isn't really relevant : there probably isn't any router in the middle o
