Unless money is needed for bare survival, it's almost always a proxy / an abstraction for social/peer recognition. There are fields where you can get plenty of social recognition directly without making money. For example art

And here's your startup idea: Build a complete and configurable front-end to Stripe Billing that does all the hard work behind the scenes and lets existing Stripe users "upgrade" to billing without the implementation pain. I&

Great post! Some questions: - How strongly does the performance of the SLAM depend on the type of sensor and the amount of sensors being used? I.e. I'm sure the performance using three 128-channel sensors will be better than using one

Thanks much! Never too late to learn something new... So from what I know about cloud technologies (not much) your description makes it sound like Kong is a Service Mesh. But then you also say you support Service Meshes as an architecture,

I frankly have no clue about enterprise IT but the funding and their growth sound impressive. Would someone ELI5 to me what problem Kong solves (bonus points for business model because it sounds like Kong is Open Source)?

Exactly. Or a bit more succinct: High-volume, low-margin (as with the iPhone SE) is neither a viable growth strategy for Apple (the volumes would have to be huge and it would erode the brand -- way too risky), nor a viable complementary off

Integer multiplication always carries the risk of Integer overflow. Integer Overflow is undefined behavior in C, so it's the programmer's responsibility to make sure it doesn't happen. To that end in the example a __uint128_t

Should we be surprised? The __(u)int128_t types are an optional extension of the C standard, hence there can be no expectation that operations with these are implemented well or at all, let alone implemented in silicon.

Just curious: Have you tried any of the git GUIs out there? There are many good ones: Fork, Git Tower, GitX-dev. I guess I would be lost as well just using the command line.

Ok, so when OpenAI was still a straight non-profit the Charter made sense in the context and there wasn't much need to specify it any further. Now with OpenAI leaving the non-profit path the Charter content, fuzzy as it is, is 100% up

For anyone taking Melatonin as a sleeping aid: The dosages it is being sold at are way too high. Recent studies point to 0.3 mg being the right amount for adults [1]. That dosage (taken over a period of several months every day at the same

Given the support for this answer I will likely get downvoted for this, but I disagree with this advice. I am a co-founder (and CTO) of a small company myself and hence get to talk to the folks in my company quite regularly. I disagree with

Why the focus on niche languages / frameworks? Why not make your life easy and use Qt (C++) or Electron (JS)?

Haha, why not? ;) At least someone more knowledgable than me could explain why this is so obviously a silly idea.

I don't see the bridge mentioned. But thanks a lot for clearing that up. There's so little data out there on companies' term sheets so it's always good to get a dose of real world.

Hello Sahil, thanks so much for sharing this. I know it helps a lot of founders out there. One question: You mentioned that you raised ~$8m from investors, but that your liq. preferences used to be $16.5m. Was there a 2x preference in the S

This is a great piece of advice. However I think it should be added that a strategy that works for snack products (sub $10 purchase) may not be successfully transferred to more expensive products. It only works as long as the effort for a m

They have put some videos up on YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnLpB5QxlQUexi40vM12mNQ/vid... Some of the footage either shows real sensors or is extremely convincing CG :)

I know I'm not going to make a lot of friends with this opinion, but this is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with modern C++. Seriously who, except for a small circle of academics, actually believes that this is good,

Can you point me to any references for this definition of application? I have never heard TF being called an application. I'd call it a library or a toolkit but maybe these terms aren't en vogue these days. (Software) Application
