>He received the Victoria Cross, the highest British military award for gallantry, for his actions at La Boiselle. He, however, declined to even mention the medal in his autobiography, later telling a friend that "it had been won by the 8th Glosters, for every man has done as much as I have".

This is leadership. I didn't win it, we won it, and I happened to be the man in charge at the time.
The engine is PlayCanvas. It's an open source game engine. Check out the repo on GitHub here: https://github.com/playcanvas/engine There's high level editor tools (kind of a blend of Google Docs and Unity) here: https://playcanvas.com/
Gee this makes me glad that I'm passionate about software rather than anime. I can totally imagine companies pitting workers against each other in our field too. I mean they do to some extent but people can make a reasonable living.
> The fact that Facebook appears to consider user consent an existential threat to their business model tells me everything I need to know about them right now.

They see it as the beginning of a slippery slope. And I hope they're right!

The concept of social media and living our lives on the internet is new, in the scale of things. The last ~10 years have been like the period of time where the sun goes in but the thermostat hasn't noticed yet. Now people have decided they don't like being cold (having their data harvested) and are pushing back.
El Reg's snark is what makes it fun to speak with as they do cut to the heart of it.

GKE Autopilot is still fundamentally Kubernetes and supports the k8s APIs. GKE has simplified a lot of Kubernetes tasks that can be a pain, such as upgrades & scaling, but as many people said on other threads Kubernetes definitely is not for all workloads. For workloads that actually do need to scale then Autopilot removes a lot of the time consuming tasks required to get Kubernetes running and staying running. There are restrictions so check the docs on if it would work for how you use k8s.

Disclosure: I run product for GKE at Google so I'm definitely not a neutral voice on this...
Parent post is right on the money.

Many companies talk a big talk about tech but ultimately believe it is not a core enabler of innovation, but rather a necessary but annoying cost that they haven't figured out how to minimize effectively. I've definitely seen that in the past. They're more businesses that use technology, rather than technology companies.

Often, fashion dictates their technical aesthetic more than actual taste. Which is fine, as long as they're honest about it. (And I just _feel_ someone itching to justify this point to me in a reply. Don't bother.)

Current trajectory of my career is that of a technical specialist, namely in the area of static/dynamic analysis and compilers. Basically, the science part of "computer science." Of course, not many companies do this sort of thing. That's fine. There are companies that value experts, and expertise, but they may not be the types of companies that get talked about on HN. The tech world is much bigger than HN.

I could write a book on this; I have gone all the way down the rabbit hole of burnout and back in trying to carve out my career niche. It can be done.
Both of you are missing a key ingredient that the article goes over -- fanboyism.

“A lot of people just felt that there was value in being able to work on anime that they loved,” Mr. Hirakimoto said. “No matter how little they got paid, they were willing to do the work.”

Looking back at his departure, he said, “I don’t regret the decision at all.”

And the same story is in the video game industry. Take Blizzard for example. When I moved to SoCal I applied for lots of tech companies including Blizzard, and got several offers. Blizzard was by far the lowest offer. And I noticed during the interview process, everyone I talked to kept asking what I thought about Blizzard, and it wasn't the standard "why do you want to work here?" I got the impression they were testing how much of a fanboy I was. And from others I've talked to afterwards, that is exactly what they were doing.
Intermediate solution: SQL command text that generates the configuration file. Command text goes into source control, and the database it generates gets deployed.

cat my_configuration_text.sql | sqlite3 my_configuration_database.sqlite

Closely related, sqldiff ships with sqlite. It generates the difference between sqlite database files as a bunch of {insert,update,delete} statements.
Really? Escape hatches?

Edit: Ok. Maybe

You are right on - the fact that I even needed to think about whether I should have to be concerned with it is where I was headed.

Devices do listen to all sounds to listen for their "prompt" - how do I know what is actually discarded? And with precedence, I don't think it is 'crazy'.

everyone seems to conveniently forget about the absolute moral nightmare that is Apple’s supply chain

No, everyone hasn't. Apple has its problems, too, and nobody denies that. But arguments like yours amount to no more than "Hey, look over there! Don't look at Facebook, look at this other thing!"

Deflection. Whataboutism. Call it what you will.

I hadn't clicked on the link above but after reading your comment, I immediately knew we're talking about Luke Dashjr. :)

I remember back when I mined, his pool Eligius would embed bible verses into the mined blocks. We had quite a chat about it back then.
It would really be neat if you could use regex inside of the algebra. Right now it just does a string match.
Some observations:

* Santa Clara County has over double the population of SF County.

* Santa Clara County has always been ahead of SF County in confirmed cases.

* According to https://projects.sfchronicle.com/2020/coronavirus-map/, the ratio has stayed roughly the same over the last two weeks (3:1).

* Interestingly, LA County had fewer confirmed cases than SF County until 11 days ago.

I think a fee would go against the spirit of the conference, but at least having free but limit tickets would be nice.

I would love to go if i knew that i would not have to suffer 90% of the time. I would also not be angry if i did not get a ticket. Maybe they should randomize who gets one instead of a first come, first serve approach to make it fair.
I love the simplicity of Maven and declarative build tools vs imperative.

The problem is Maven has a huge legacy code base and sees very little improvement.

Its ability to concurrently build modules is flawed and it doesn't have incremental compilation support.

There is an opportunity to build a new Maven (Maven 4) from scratch with some newer principles but adhering to most of the XML format.

Btw Maven can now read POM file in other languages than XML like Groovy & Kotlin
It's more than that. I know many women who quit their well-paying jobs because societally in the US we have not fully socialized child rearing in a way that China has.

e.g.: Our infrastructure and attitudes about kids transport is in dire need of refactoring.
"No matter how it looks at first, it's always a people problem." - Jerry Weinberg
This reminds me of an old article by Jakob Nielsen, "Better than Reality" [1], about how the web shouldn't try to emulate reality. Of course, technology has advanced a lot since 1998. But I wonder if his core point is still right. For one thing, at its best, the web is still better than reality in that it can be much more accessible to people with disabilities. Products like this one still run the risk of negating that advantage.

Seems unlikely this 20% number implies that 80% of women are sitting at home drinking tea & looking after kids.

Where is it from? Is this formal sector employment?

IIRC the informal labor market is something like 80% of the country in total. Lots of people work in ways that are difficult to gather statistics about.
The utility for solving crime is, I think, the wrong metric for deciding what technology police should be allowed to use.

Murders would be a lot easier to solve if every person was forced to wear a tracker that reported their location to the police at all times--but we would not stand for such a thing. Why should we accept a lower standard of privacy just because we're driving?
Could it also discourage potential purchasers in the event of an exit? Instead of buying shares from a company in a known jurisdiction, they'd be buying shares from a foreign jurisdiction. Might complicate the legal work, and so on. This was one reason I considered as to why it doesn't seem to be common practice.
Where I've worked, you'd be more likely to see a spreadsheet poorly pasted into a PowerPoint presentation with a poorly scaled bitmap of a logo in the corner that is a 6 MiB attachment to an email...
I'm looking for a daisy-wheel printer that can be run from a modern computer. Purchased an Olivetti typewriter that could supposedly print from a 3.5 floppy, but it didn't work.

Oh man can this die please... Why is techcrunch simply recycling a blog post, without taking its latter corrections into account.
I don't think you've been a member of the community long enough, then. On YC, I certainly find a correlation between the points for a certain comment and the thoughtfulness put into that comment. This isn't true on other systems (reddit, etc) where clever noise is preferred to depth, but I generally find the most helpful comments getting voted up here.
The example seems more hypothetical than actual.

A more likely case is a person who posts "mysql won't help you with foo" with no link and for no upvotes and "this is the ninja lisp trick" with a link and notices that they get far more upvoates for it.

But the most likely case is a person who notices that the first person to refer to Balmer as "monkey boy" in a hit thread gets massive upvotes.
I have a few small children and I like the idea. However, I ran into a snag when I attempted to set up an account. First of all, I can't add all my children at once. I have to add a child, skip the invites, click on the child's name up top, then click "Add garden." So, unless I misunderstand, it looks like I can't have all of my children in one garden. What do I do if I want to e-mail in a vignette about two of my children or all of them? And how will my family view the timeline of all children at once? If you have an answer for this, you could make that a little more clear.
This is great, I want to get in there and add my small town (it's raining and snowing here, so I can't really do it now) but when it gets nicer, I'm all over it.

Where's your FEEDBACK button???? I would like to send in some typos I found in your tutorial images.
Surely that's no different to what we have now: the most "popular" comments / submissions are, with the application of some secret sauce, the most visible and promoted to the top of the thread. The fact that we can't see the underlying numbers makes no difference.
|I believe we are all here because we respect the opinions of the people here.

What does that even mean? That by not showing the comments we're somehow disrespecting those opinions?

|Sometimes the best reply is to a no-so-great parent comment.

And even then those replies are sorted again... what is your concern? Time? If you were saying hey, I only have so much time, I could maybe understand. But... I think it would be better for HN as a community to train people for more thought out discussions, fewer flame wars, and more of a focus on actually reading the comments and evaluating them based on their own content and not just on what others have said.

As someone in this thread also pointed out, it also ends the perception that an argument can be won by popularity or upvotes-- I believe this has been especially beneficial at preventing/reducing typical fan-boy flaming. I think HN has already begun to benefit for the changes. Also, I would rather read fewer threads with better comments, than more threads with worse comments.

Note: Better subjectively being defined as more thought out, less antagonistic, more discussion based, more logic, and more citations/sources.
Just hack it and fix it.
Snowflake’s CEO, Frank Slootman, made a similarly insane amount of money on IPO after being at the company for 18 months. I think he got given what became over $1 billion worth.
while i like the term "text adventure" simply because that's what i grew up with, the broader term "interactive fiction" has genuinely provided room for people to experiment with the genre. it's not just a matter of "same thing, different label slapped on it"; if i say "design a text adventure" and "design a work of interactive fiction" the latter immediately suggests a lot more possibilities.
I assume they had a warrant?
Lacking this is probably my biggest gripe when trying to pattern match recursive structures, though mostly closures, this saddens me, you could say my hopes have been dashed.
Cool stuff!

I found an issue with "+" symbols in the brand name.

If "+" symbol is present, the UI won't show anything.
My favorite translation so far is Duff's Device. In old C from Wikipedia modernized it's roughly:

void send(volatile short *to, short *from, int count)
{
int n = (count + 7) / 8;
switch (count % 8) {
case 0: do { *to = *from++;
case 7: *to = *from++;
case 6: *to = *from++;
case 5: *to = *from++;
case 4: *to = *from++;
case 3: *to = *from++;
case 2: *to = *from++;
case 1: *to = *from++;
} while (--n > 0);
}
}

While the result from c2rust is even less maintainable than original interleaved-loop-switch, I'm impressed that it looks like they have a robust way to handle bizarre control flow. (The output from c2rust is not reproduced here to save space, you can try it on https://c2rust.com/ )
I think you might be misinterpreting the parent. Nothing is controversial about the move itself, the elephant in the room is why they're doing it. They mention a change of strategy, but don't really spell out why.

It's pretty obvious why; everyone would be in China in a huge way if it wasn't for their trade abuse and/or human rights abuses.

Ok, we've taken the [dupe] tag off this one.
In other words, it’s good for users, who’s should have access to the source much less the binary anyway.
It finds memory safety bugs, so it would be prudent to treat all findings as security bugs by default. The binder driver maintainers did get notified right away and it's a prominent part of android attack surface.
Business won't be the one to push the change on this attitude. It has to be people, or at best government. Most companies are morally agnostic, they only follow the money, you can judge them for it either way, but it's the truth.
Have any communities taken up the charge since Flipcode died? It was an amazing resource of great value. I haven't seen anything else quite like it.

There is Gamasutra. But I find it too heavily focussed on the industry and not enough on the practice. They don't offer enough technical, practical, working material. It's primarily a discussion of ideas and theories.

I'd love to see something like Flipcode alive on the web today, in this climate of do-it-yourself games as apps. The market is open like never before to the insurgent developer, no longer in the exclusive purview of mega-companies.
Surprisingly short article that might as well be an ad for the game.

I hoped for at least mention of pokemon, which supposedly was a game born out of the (once popular?) kids pastime of capturing bugs and making them fight each other.

Nor does it mention the massively popular genre of Human Fighting games, like Call of Duty.

I'm reminded of Penny Arcade:

There is an audience for social games, and it doesn't necessarily encompass the whole of someone's social network. Just think about how facebook, after countless reincarnations, created special sections for games. I just hope it's opt-in this time, not force-fed like buzz.
What I really don't understand is how the finance industry can draw in so many engineers. Aren't there only a few financial powerhouse regions in the U.S. on the coasts? How many firms are there, anyways? And just how many quants do these firms need?
Any luck with fingerprint sensor drivers? I know that's a big problem. Still not working on my 4yo thinkpad
All these replies telling you this isn't possible are amazing. Perhaps they are forgetting that when you hold coins at Coinbase that's no different from a bank giving you a bank note saying you "own" x amount of gold in their vault.

EDIT: I was obviously not the first to say this but it is really interesting to watch the crypo space re-invent all of modern finance, one piece at a time.
Was it just that they didn't have the usual setup of recruiters, coordinators etc to manage the hiring loop well?

If they are less than 300 people company grown over a very slow pace, that's understandable.
This is pretty much the essence of international “free” trade agreements...
The official mailchimp app was also removed from the Shopify app store for not complying with the terms. Shopify doesn't care who you are, everyone is on the same terms now.
My guess would be that Sci-hub probably isn't doing this because my guess is that they don't need to. Given how widespread support and usage of Sci-hub is within academia, I suspect they have access voluntarily donated credentials on the order of hundreds if not thousands (remember that it's not only faculty staff that have access to journal articles: students do too).
Welcome to dense urban environments, where the list of available wi-fi networks is well above fifty and the throughput well under 100 Mb/s on a good day... When I sit at my desk, I plug the RJ-45 and I get 1 Gb/s - no ifs, no buts !
There will be options to choose from later on. Right now we kind of need to get a glance if the trike is really a product that people would choose. Right now it's default at 24kWh (+~2kWh for accesories) and the consumption is around 8kWh/100km
If they have to resort to this tactic it’s usually not a good sign. Skilled workers will get the contracts without the shenanigans.

By reading Hacker News I had the impression that everyone there that is not a junior is making at least U$100k/year, except for special cases in rural areas or small towns.
Welcome to the new world order where even your own government is a cyber-terrorist. Makes the folks over at https://silentcircle.com/ sound prophetic.

Firefox does not use the built-in certificate store. Mozilla has their own trusted CA list.
UTC just provides a labeling for TAI/TT seconds, so a count-of-UTC-seconds timestamp is identical to a count-of-TAI-seconds timestamp (assuming the same epoch). Both are different from a count-of-non-leap-UTC-seconds aka POSIX time.

Heraldry will never go out of style. It will just get updated. We love showing our tribal affiliations.
Reminded of the Hamming quote:

If you do not work on an important problem, it's unlikely you'll do important work. It's perfectly obvious. Great scientists have thought through, in a careful way, a number of important problems in their field, and they keep an eye on wondering how to attack them. Let me warn you, `important problem' must be phrased carefully. The three outstanding problems in physics, in a certain sense, were never worked on while I was at Bell Labs. By important I mean guaranteed a Nobel Prize and any sum of money you want to mention. We didn't work on (1) time travel, (2) teleportation, and (3) antigravity. They are not important problems because we do not have an attack. It's not the consequence that makes a problem important, it is that you have a reasonable attack. That is what makes a problem important. When I say that most scientists don't work on important problems, I mean it in that sense. The average scientist, so far as I can make out, spends almost all his time working on problems which he believes will not be important and he also doesn't believe that they will lead to important problems.
Keep it minimal. I've written pretty serious web applications with no more dependencies than jQuery, lodash, browserify, and handlebars, for instance. Learn javascript really well, leverage "plain old javascript" patterns like function composition and closures over fancy but poorly-motivated new stuff like reactive data-binding and MVWXYZ.
I am not defending carriers here. I just wanted to point out that Apple's approach isn't perfect either.
Been on 5.0 for Moto X (2014) for a few weeks now without issue. These bug reports appear to be for Nexus 4/5.
It is simpler. It's like comparing English to German. Sure, in German you can just say "schadenfreude" and in English you have to say "taking joy from someone else's misfortune", but everyone will understand the latter, and many people may misunderstand the former... And even though you may feel smarter for being able to use a big word, if you are writing a legal document that needs to be understood by many people, you're probably better off with the more wordy English.

UCL has support for json schema (http://json-schema.org/) so you can achieve some cool things with it. However, it is apparently not a full DSL.
I think I read somewhere incremental parsers are better off being written with bottomup parsers rather than topdown parsers. The reason was that when a small edit is made to the code being parsed, the artifact from a bottomup parser often only needs a minor change that ripples only as far as it needs to, whereas the topdown parser needs to be completely rerun because it can't tell whether the effect of one small edit is large or localized. Anyone out there who can verify or refute this?

>> - fasting on Ramadan was probably created by a religious leader who felt better after doing it himself and though it to be a good idea for everybody else to do it.

That religious leader would be Muhammad.

That's one way to see things and how I explain part of my belief in Islam to non-religious people: Worst case scenario, I'm just doing things that I believe are pretty smart (fasting, praying, helping the poor and oprhan, keeping a strong sense of family, etc.); best-case scenario it's actually God that told us to do those things. Actually, it's mainly because I believe all those recommendations are pretty darn smart and coherent that I believe it might well be God's message. (Muhammad was an illiterate shepherd after all, hardly who you'd expected to come with these things)
thankfully, here, we have Trader Joe's and their "3 buck chuck". the local Kroger store (Fred Meyer) also has $3 wine, but I think of that as "emergency wine" - the 3 buck chuck is much, much better.

I have some questions though:

1. do they teach you about sanitization and airlocks, or is it simply "toss some yeast in this bottle"

2. I'm guessing no aging? it would be awesome if they allowed you to pop some in a barrel for aging

3. (not really a question) but wow, $20/gallon is still kind of spendy!
It's just to get rid of the air gap between the glass and the chip. The intent isn't to break the scanner.
