In a single worker house, no daycare - so strike that.

$2000 for health insurance in the US? Not from a professional job. Normal employee copays for a famils are in the $200-$400 per month range.

$2000 rent? No way. Move. You can live for $1000 or less in many areas of the world with great jobs.

$1000 groceries? No way, try more like $500.

here is the spending report of a family of 3. It is about $25,000.

That should be the baseline for where you think. Not some crazy fantasy land with a $2000 mortgage and $2000 daycare (despite 1 parent being stay at home)

He's quoting Jurassic Park. The idea is that the technology does something that would normally be considered highly unusual or even ridiculous to consider, like running a very complicated code base through a transpiler to make it run on another tech stack. Generally speaking, this kind of comment would be a compliment. Sort of along the lines of "wow, that's absolutely crazy, you did something no one would have thought possible, good work".

It's a much more light-hearted comment than you seem to think it is.
There are no 50s-sized cheap houses within walking distance of employment centers in good school districts in my city. Out where the good schools are, they only build McMansions. This is the typical case for cities in the US. I live in a big-ass house in the 'burbs because a big-ass house in the 'burbs is cheaper than a smaller one still capable of (more or less) comfortably housing 2 adults + 3 kids in the city, plus private school for those three kids. It's not because I love McMansions and owning cars and being far from everything.

As for entertainment spending (Netflix, cell phones, et c), it's nothing next to (especially) housing and (even cooked at home) food. Cutting all of that wouldn't get us down to a secure, responsible income level with only one parent working.
I, as an independent coder, enjoy my 90 hour work week.

> TOFU (Trust On First Use) principle ... used by ssh

No. That might be how you use SSH, but you are not really using SSH correctly IMO so you are not qualified to tell me HTTPS should run like SSH...

For a properly secure connection you should be verifying the fingerprint against a reference you received through a different trustworthy communications channel. If I'm connecting to my own servers I know the value is correct as I setup the server and have record of it. If it is a newly setup machine/VM as a hosting location I might have to go on trust that the first one I see is OK but if I'm connecting to an existing service I expect to be told the fingerprint so I can check it. FYI: in my day job I handle file transfers potentially containing our clients' client data so we have to do this sort of thing properly.

Ignoring the "you are doing SSH wrong" thing for a moment, there is another major flaw in TOFU: users will just click OK without thinking when presented with an "are you sure" question. The people most vulnerable to the current problems with TLS are not going to have their risk profile changed at all (or if it changes it'll be for the worse) by this proposal.
3D XKCD
Utilities is part of the game ecosystem though. Dwarf Therapist is great, but after 30 dwarfs it becomes better to enable autolabor. To be fair, I'd like to see RimWorld* manage 200+ pawns.

* Not to say I dislike RimWorld, in fact it is my favour dwarflike.
Dwarf fortress is a great idea made possible by the winnowing effect of its UI.

I've found that this particular game has found its niche because of what it is.

The point of the creator is this: the game isnt even past pre-alpha. Lots of things will change, which a UI will only bog down.

So for example rimworld is still currently 2d. (will possibly change), but that a big change

DF plans to change the full world gen and design in the next arc - its a reasonable view.

Did you try Qt? Creating GUI with qtdesigner is similar to Delphi, and Qt Studio is well integrated nowadays.
The problem is not automating, but Google shoots first and doesn't ask questions later. This leaves false positives helpless.

I'm not surprised Google closes their eyes and ignores false positives, your answer only confirms that.
Show HN: Stuff I Need to Remember
I found DS to be too hands on. I like to be more elevated, with my pawns having some autonomy.
I love Don't Starve, but it doesn't even approach the complexity of Dwarf Fortress. I think the similarity is mostly thematic, both being pretty dark and having a techno-fantasy element.
It's not even the UI, or the graphics. It's the fact that the game exists in some sort of "hobby" or forum limbo. That is why it's not more popular, and simply exists in a perpetual status of some sort of "geeky" reverence.

You search for it, and the main page for Dwarf Fortress is on a "bay12games" domain rather than its own. No one knows "Bay12Games", and it's been 10+ years since Dwarf Fortress was first released. The guy running this should get over it, and admit that the only reason he's got some sort of fame is because of a single game. He should focus on that, not "Bay 12 Games". That company doesn't even have its own Wiki page.

Then the page itself. Looks like it's made in the early 2000's and hasn't been updated since. I just, I don't even know where to start with this one.

Then the actual download for the game: "df_43_05_win.zip". No installer, no MSI, nothing. I opened it just now, and couldn't find any sort of "Instructions" file or manual, either. Not to mention that all the "nicely packaged" versions of Dwarf Fortress exist in random forum threads.
Delphi used drag and drop and property setting to do most of what you'd do in Rails. Whether it's validation, master-details views, specifying display formats to represent decimal formats as currencies, specify the correct editing control for a database column - all specified as properties on the components representing the connection to the database.

You'd then be able to drag and drop columns from the list onto a form, and it would create the correct components depending on type, with appropriate labels, etc. Similarly, drop a grid on a form and get type-aware in-cell editing. Automatic updating of a details view when navigating through a parent data set. Etc.

One of the nicest things about Delphi was that you could compile into a single executable that you could deploy without further dependencies. One of selling points of Go, 20 years ago.
That was always my biggest disappointment with Delphi. Things that were simple, free, and of very high quality in other languages would lead you into a thicket of shady, low quality nagware VCL components that had a tangle restrictions on use and usually a magic DLL blob you were then forced to distribute along with your app.

It was a constant infuriating disappointment. Delphi should have been so much more.
The Ultimate Guide to Becoming Your Best Self (2015)
Because it's horribly inefficient. It's using 49 bytes to encode 8 bytes worth of data. If your data set is a few hundred observations this likely doesn't matter. But most users of timeseries data have millions or billions. (I come from a computational finance background.)

Even if they were wedded to JSON for some reason, they could have just used a list of observations, like:

[1458000000,63.422235],

That would have cut their data costs in half.

Or just use one of the many existing formats for transmitting time series data. It's not a new topic. https://github.com/mobileink/data.frame/wiki/What-is-a-Data-...

People make tools that reads memory of DF to create better GUIs. Compare dwarf therapist to standard gui of DF to assigning jobs, it is just horrible.

I honestly kinda stopped playing after military gui is changed. The new system is unplayable. New conversation system is also very frustrating in adventure mode.

I just wish the game will be open source at some point and the things will be improved.
I ordered mine sometime last year, and was able to get them fairly quickly when they finally delivered. Guess they couldn't keep up with demand after initial backers.

Took a look at the API Monitor app you recommended -- it is interesting -- can it be used as a procmon replacement in your experience? The UI seems to be a bit better (more intuitively) organized...with procmon, between one instance of running it and another, I always have to search for where the menu settings are to do some action -- it's almost like a GUI over a command line program.

Xbox unveils $9.99 monthly subscription for videogames
I think these are really inflated. I've got 5 kids, my wife doesn't work, and our expenses in the categories above are:

$150/month for day care or camps or lessons or whatever...

$500/month for health insurance for family [my portion, the company has a plan]

$1500 month in rent or mortgage

$1000/month in groceries

That's just under $38,000 per year. I make more now, but we lived very comfortably when I made $80,000 per year (before tax).
Hasn't this been the average experience for as long as dual income parenting had been typical? A "traditional" 8am-3pm school schedule still conflicts with a "traditional" 9am-5pm work schedule - you might prepare them in the morning but you won't be there when school gets out. This is why the "latch key generation" was considered a thing.

If we all worked 4-6 hours per day then we could flex morning/evening according to our family needs.

Indeed, the high barrier of entry, but for those of us who have entered, we enjoy a very privileged membership that just keeps on giving.

I'm a ten year veteran, and have helped many other "hardcore" gamers to get into it, but none of them have stuck with it, citing difficulty. It's a shame, as it has more to give than any other game.
What am I adding to the conversation? I thought your question was fucking stupid and typical of people that want to put safety rails on everything, child proof everything, and legislate everything to the point you cant do anything fun. Im not saying you're that person, but I am saying that your question sure makes it sound like you are. I felt my response was a common sense response to your silly, perhaps hyperbolic, question and needed to be said. What exactly did your question add to the conversation? Nothing.

[Edit]

Also, in response to your car analogy, how many of those accidents were caused by people operating a motor vehicle while on a phone, texting, being intoxicated, being on drugs prescribed or illegal, being too exhausted to drive, driving too fast in hazardous conditions such as rain, snow, and ice, driving recklessly or at a high rate of speed through construction zones, etc.? Are you telling me these people were able to get a license without being aware of the dangers? Hell, there are even laws to prevent most of the stuff I listed yet people do them anyhow. People are reckless, only are concerned with themselves, and many can't seem make the connection that actions have consequences, or they just don't care. That makes them what? Say it with me... Imbeciles!

What's wrong with the police requesting Echo records? Surely the Echo records requests you make to it. No different than Google recording your search history. And it's pretty reasonable for the police to want to look at that in a murder case. And they got a warrant. I don't see anything sinister in this case at all.

Shouldn't is a funny idea, as is properly functioning.

HR should never be considered "on your side." It's hardly considered cynical to presume a subsection of a company to care more for the company's than an aggrieved employee who would likely stir up trouble.

If this behaviour is as rampant as it seems to be, what incentivization reinforced it? More of a tangent thought, but if this keeps occurring what is causing the disparaging treatment?

I disagree, respectfully, I think that the stop-start nature and complex workings of DF would mean that any sort of co-op would severely constrain the game, well at least with respect to fortress mode.

I suppose there could be an argument for taking adventurer mode and making it more like a MUD but I'm not really an AM person.
Just curious, what is the link between a CTO and a product manager? A CTO would be looking at the latest technology while a PM would look at the latest competitor in the field.
This is the thing that gets lost in some of these discussions. US citizens tend to shrug at this stuff and say, "Well, I'm a citizen, it doesn't affect me." But it WILL affect you, because once the US starts putting this stuff in place, everyone else will too. Intrusive border searches, electronic snooping and information gathering, insistence on decrypting devices and permitting searches of social media accounts, gathering biometric data...all these things that the US is busy imposing on immigrants and visitors, other countries will in turn happily impose on US citizens entering /their/ borders.
I want to point out that you and sheepmullet are not exactly in disagreement.

You can't value high productivity if you don't recognize it when you see it, so any workplace that satisfies your first criterion will also satisfy sheepmullet's.

I once worked at a place that used spreadsheet workbooks to track developer activity down to the second and used SLoC as a management metric. It was the least productive workplace I have ever seen. Paid for by ~= $7M per year of the US federal budget, and returning a CRUD app that was probably still outperformed by folders in a file cabinet. A year of work by 12 "developers" might replace one paper form.

High productivity was interpreted as a threat to the gravy train. In retrospect, I should not have suggested that everyone on the team read _Code Complete_, because it just painted a target on my back.
I don't care what he's quoting and to see this as 'light-hearted' (without any further elaboration on the part of the OP) is extrapolation.

FWIW the comment in the movie is also a negative one.

> John Hammond: I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before...

> Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

> John Hammond: Condors. Condors are on the verge of extinction...

> Dr. Ian Malcolm: [shaking his head] No...

> John Hammond: If I was to create a flock of condors on this island, you wouldn't have anything to say.

> Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, hold on. This isn't some species that was obliterated by deforestation, or the building of a dam. Dinosaurs had their shot, and nature selected them for extinction.

> John Hammond: I simply don't understand this Luddite attitude, especially from a scientist. I mean, how can we stand in the light of discovery, and not act?

> Dr. Ian Malcolm: What's so great about discovery? It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.

I am a 3rd year dev living on 70k income. Wife works >20 hrs part time. 2 kids. I live in the US between the Rocky and the Appalachian mountains where the cost of living is reasonable. Things are tight, but solid.
$800/mo rent (4 bedroom house, .7 acres)
$800/mo debt, 2 car payments
$200/mo gas
$500/mo savings

$250/mo car, life insurance

Not even at 50k a year for essential expenses. It's doable. At 100k I'd have pretty much no financial worries, and at 200k, I'd have better problems to worry about. :)

Since I'm first I'll bite:

The article didn't specify what role she had in the creation of the app, so I will assume that she designed the interaction model (at least loosely) and worked with someone else to actually build it.

Anyway, if my slightly pessimistic/cynical view is correct: that's still nothing to sniff at. My lovely and relatively tech-eager 73 year-old mom hasn't gotten to the app-producer role yet. :)

The transport technologies already exist; Camel unifies them under a single API. What you get in return is precisely not having to manage all of them in your own code.

Simplistic problems don't demand complex solutions. Complex problems do. If you're not doing anything complex enough to require a complex solution, then of course you wouldn't need something like Camel or any other ESB-like solution.

Not that I disagree with your other arguments but this one sticks out:

> Except if you want to store objects/arrays/numbers (localStorage only supports strings)

My normal usage of localStorage usually looks like this:

const getItem = (item) => { JSON.parse(window.localStorage.getItem(item)) }
// and
const setItem = (item, val) { window.localStorage.setItem(item, JSON.stringify(val)) }

And then you won't have issues with any type.
Since you ask, I think a neglected part of the solution might lie in getting businesses to communicate securely. Unlike individuals, businesses actually care quite a lot if their data leaks.

I think maybe people have wasted a lot of time trying to peddle crypto to hippies and politicos, when lawyers and insurance companies might have been a more receptive audience. The only way PGP was ever going to get any adoption was if people feared getting fired for sending unencrypted private info.

And of course once there's a critical mass of people who know what a private key is due to their work, it's a smaller step to get individuals to encrypt things voluntarily.

Who's going to do that? In case you haven't noticed, we've now elected an Administration and Congress who explicitly don't believe climate change is real, and who are gutting the EPA as I write this. There is zero support in government for moving towards more environmentally sustainable practices, and the Citizenry backs this change of course wholeheartedly.
