> With TVs, we see how the outward form stays the same over a long period of time (rectangle, with varying depth), but the inner mechanism is completely different (vacuum tubes, plasma, LEDs, etc.)

This is a very good point. I have to admit I haven't thought about it this way. I'm trying to understand the distinction you make between transformations of living organisms and man-made objects.

So you are highlighting the observation that mammals have similar skeletons and muscle structures, similar digestive systems etc.

What does this observation mean? Example: Wa see a remarkable similarity between human and bird skeletons. The difference is topological because differences are in form only. In topology a doughnut and a teacup are the same object. They may look different but they can be transformed into eech other.

Another example: A cat has a tail. Human skeleton does not have a fully developed tail, but the spinal column ends with a tailbone. This is usually interpreted as a "vestigal" tail; meaning that human skeleton once had a tail but humans lost the tail by way of "evolution". For me this reasoning is not justified. To me it is more plausible that the creator(s) or designer(s) of mammals figured how to design different forms from the same formula. So they knew topology. And by tweaking certain terms in their formula (or genes) they could get a cat, a dog or a human. A dog embrio cannot be distinguished from human embrio in early stages.

We can even observe this topological design in the two human species. The reproductive organs of man and woman are exactly the same; they differ only as the way a doughnut differs from a teacup.

The fact that both sexes have the same reproductive organs, but organized in a topologically different form, does not imply that man evolved into woman. Or woman evolved into man. On the contrary, they must have been created separately with each other in mind.

So if different species have similar organs varying only topologically, this does not imply that one "evolved" from the other. Or that they evolved from the same common ancestor. This only implies that the same formula created both of them.

> (mouse, elephant, dolphin)...

Regarding the topic of the creation of new species by evolution, I belong in Lynn Margulis' school of thought. According to Margulis, new species are created by symbiosis and not by speciation by evolution.

I'm against arguing by using the word "evolution" as a cause because this word has so many meanings that it can mean anything and everything.
Hmm, good point, didn't quite look at it that way.

But now I'm wondering if there are motherboards out there that radiate a little bit more than they should, and force peripheral vendors to do extra work clipping EMI in their own products.

This is probably not true, since all PCI card vendors would have to test their products with tons of different boards.

> On Android we'll be seeing 3 VMs running on top of each other. It's insanity.

Why does it follow that development of abstractions will lead to people stacking endless VMs on top of each other? Javascript runs on Android today in a native VM, not a java-based one. Why would that change in the future?
"On the shortness of life, by Seneca" Wonderful. Haha Happy people in the world are making a positive impact.
The biggest concerns would be full scale automation, sophisticated manipulation, and handing over our decision making. Imagine government run by AIs who already know enough about the citizenry to not require a vote? Or better yet, manipulate the citizenry to vote for their own good, which would be whatever the AGI models determine is in our best interest. And then there's warfare.

But my reaction from a gut level is, what's the value of human life if machines do all the important stuff for us, while also surpassing us in creativity, insight and discovery?

Quickly? Firebase + React.

Seriously, don’t overlook this combo. Auth just works. Hosting built in, no backend or database server to maintain. No API, just subscribe to a collection right from the view. It just works (and is easily swapped for the real deal if you need it).

I made a guide/boilerplate to show you how (includes auth, CRUD, full text search, stripe subscriptions):

Anyway, if many of the units sold are fake and some are real, you'd expect a large number of reviews both ways, which is what you can see.
That's a great point.

In addition, NSA has not only unique analytical techniques but also unique number-crunching capabilities. The combination of these allow it to design ciphers that can be broken by NSA but not by adversaries.

The author made mention of this specifically in the link: had his university had additional hardware, he is confident that more rounds would easily be broken.

No. They hear the lightweight part. The author clearly understands this. It's the actual designs of the cipher, security margins, motivations for the key schedule, and others he has an issue with. The issues include lies and misleading omissions in publications.
Not true that it doesn't rely on a 3rd party operaring system; it just doesn't directly depend on a third party operating system.

The last couple prototypes I put up for work were using Flask and Vue on Heroku. I've been really happy with both how quickly they went up, but also how understandable everything is even a year later (they are only used internally).

The piece I wouldn't mind cutting out is heroku. If you do end up going the docker route, docker-machine is nice for being able to quickly put things up, "push" updates to digital ocean:

I use Elixir/Phoenix mainly because I think it is fun and think that side projects should be fun. If it has the potential to become something more, I believe that it is a great production language for a company and would stake my business on it. Usually deploy to Heroku free tier for my up and fast prototypes.

Frontend will either be React or plain ol' JS depending on how complex the idea is.
For me, the ideal shape of a game development team is to just make games for yourselves. If you find that people love your games, too, then great! If not, then that's great too. Once you start chasing and building on success, the work stops being about scratching your own itch, and moves away from building stuff for yourselves.

Labor organizations survive on the employees that pay them, they are the formality of wage theft.
For a small, one person project you can use absolutely any language and feel great about yourself and the language. It's like a stroll in a park - you can do it in any shoes, or even barefoot.

Where language matters are thousands or million lines of code projects, with multiple teams and people of varying experience and abilities, coming and leaving. With stupidly short deadlines and changing business requirements. With liabilities, support, maintenance, budget, time-to-market, etc.

Then it's like climbing Mt. Everest, in a snowstorm, with limited supplies and low team morale.

This whole article is just "mom look, I can walk". I come to HN to hear a "I've survived hell and here is how my shoes did" story.

Not trying to be snarky but... how is it cheaper to hire a freelance IT person to set up something for you, and help you when it breaks/changes, than $7/mo for Heroku?

Unions suck, they really do. These things happen and people have to leave and find a new place, staying and litigating is not going to make any difference, and a union cannot spring money out of nowhere, they ould have the exact same issues.

Presumably the tax breaks lead to further taxation through increased economic activity so it isn't a clear cut case of a library "loosing" $3 million a year as the article implies.

The author makes an important point about having a list of languages to choose from.

We are working on a JVM-based project at work. We chose to use Kotlin because the initial team was intermediate programmers who didn't have that much experience. When we got an MVP out, and some clients willing to pay for the solution; we got some Java devs involved.

The guys have only known Java 6 and 7. They are struggling around with Kotlin, not because it's difficult, but because they only know "The Java Way". Sadly also, they've been stuck in J6/7 for so long that they don't know Streams or Lambdas.
For people making their living from Java, that's dangerous self-extinction.

Their software architect is even worse. Ignorant guy who lives in a rock, if they don't understand something or have never heard of it, it's wrong or useless.

We're working on a greenfield project, and the guy wanted to write a REST proxy on top of gRPC because he thinks clients won't like us having ports exposed internally.

I nearly took him for his salary when I told him that *://localhost is only visible to the local machine. He bet me his salary that he could access a service on the server even if it's listening on localhost. I was gracious when it came time to pay up.

Anyways, I wish the guys were the exception, but I've seen many guys in their 30's who still think Oracle Inc. is where the sauce is.

My advice: learn something new every once in a while. The author found that C was better suited for some things than C++. That's a powerful statement to make, something I've learnt a lot over the years when I pick up a new language.

That's interesting... I think I'll spend a couple of days playing with Vue to see if I can get rid of Webpack and Babel, because they're an enormous pain to set up (especially as they keep changing their config schema every major version release - I think I've climbed Webpack's config learning cliff three times now).
Rails + heroku is pretty much instant. If you want to pay a little little less a single vps instance can run the web app and the postgres server at the same time.
You seem to be hung up on utilitarianism implying a particular one dimensional utility metric. I don't see why that is necessary, to call something "utilitarianism". Why can't utilitarianism be conceived of as parameterizable? Without arguing for any particular ethical system, I think the world as it exists operates largely on a utilitarian basis, just with a less simplistic utility metric, similar to what I mentioned twice. Is acting according to this "ethical"? I have no interest in debating that. Your examples are starting to sound like things I believe have happened frequently in history, unethical or not.

Edit/post script: I am not so sure that rules like "don't murder" are in conflict with utilitarianism as I think of it existing. Maybe if you look at moral choices as an optimization process, simple rules function as heuristics to deal with uncertainty, bias and lack of information on utility.
For gods sake, don't use LinkedIn (especially in those circumstances).

Mondragon , in the Basque region of Spain is a good example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation

I don't read Italian, but there are a set of unemployment laws in Italy that roughly state - if there are 10 unemployed people who have an idea for a company, they can request all their unemployment insurance collectively and form a worker cooperative. Right now, there's more than 8000 such cooperatives in Italy.

In Norway, Kantega is another such example. They're considered in the top 100 best workplaces in Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantega

Suma, a food collective, is another such example. Again, note the humane treatment of workers. Again, this is democracy in the workplace - the workers collectively decide how they are to be treated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suma_(co-operative)

My first job was bagging groceries in Safeway, and I remember vividly watching the minute hand on a big clock slowly tick around to the end of my shift. I was thinking, when I graduate university I don't want a job where I am always so bored I'm just wishing my life away so I can go home. I can honestly say after 25 years working on video games I have never once been bored. There is a vibrant industry out there which has never had so many different platforms and delivery mechanisms. In the next 10 years we will only see more. My advice for those that want to make games is try it out; don't be shy to move around different companies and work on different types of technology until you find something you enjoy and team you like to work with. Do the same every few years and you'll have a long career ahead of you. And most importantly, do not crunch. A few extra hours of work here and there is fine, but any extended death march is bad for your health, bad for the product and ultimately bad for the company.
There's a common theme in the comment section about the likelihood of a backdoor.

There's really no telling. This kind of capability is definitely within the means of the NSA - so the question is more about one of intent.

In this case, the decision makers at the ISO determined that not enough information had been made available for them to determine the intent. Significant technical questions could/would not be answered by NSA in a satisfactory way.

The ISO committee also believes that the problem is likely to correct itself in a short time window without the need for an additional, if suspicious, standard. They would rather not have to do the legwork to solve a non-problem to acquire and have to deal with a possibly suboptimal or backdoored cipher.

I grew up in a time when no one thought there was a chance to have a job making video games. I remember before I finished college, someone from EA called me about a shareware game I made (distributed on a floppy! imagine). In those days EA was a small company. The guy was trying to see if I wanted a job and I didn't even think to ask. Later, in grad school, another small company, Activision put a poster advertising jobs. I'm glad I replied.

What I have learned after twenty plus years in games is that you can make enough money to retire, but nothing guarantees a chance to keep working. At the top level the pressure is intense and new talent is always cycling in. No one writes an article about how uncertain a career is in film, or music, or theater, because everyone knows it is nothing you bet on. I was super lucky to be in the write place at the right time, like someone who got a job at a record label in the 70's or a movie studio in the 80's. I got to do something exciting that I didn't know could be a career. There is probably something else I have never heard of happening right now which is what a young person ought to be doing.
Rails still rocks, ruby is still beautiful and elegant, Heroku is still incredibly easy to deploy to. Vuejs is a good option for complex data driven ui.
I don't follow. The world may often operate on intuitive, inchoate, proto-utilitarian principles, but I don't think most of us accept a just-world principle, so that observation doesn't take us very far. Utilitarianism is an ethical framework used to evaluate ethical claims. Why do you even care about it if you're not interested in talking about ethics?
Thank you for sharing, it is worth something.
Good idea. Gonna look into this!

Arrghh... why can't archeologists ever just say "we don't know what this was used for" instead of claiming "ritual purposes" for everything they don't understand?

Ancient peoples were intensely practical, and most of the stuff they made had definite utility. As in this case. Glad someone took the time and trouble to understand what they were used for. I hope the idiots who speculated (with no evidence) that they were purely ornamental feel utterly ashamed of themselves.

Archeology should impose a rule that if a digger claims an object was made for "ritual purposes" then they should have to specify the ritual and the part that the object plays in it.
