Sure, but what platforms ship with Vulkan support?

* Vulkan was a recommended API on android N+, which has ~35% device install (from first % stats that came up on google). However, the CDD doesn't require Vulkan to be present.
* Linux is it up to the distribution to include it, and it isn't currently required by any standard open source package. If your card isn't AMD or Nvidia, you do not have an option for vulkan support AFAIK.
* Windows it is something installed by the video card driver as part of their game support and not available across all cards
* Mac/iOS it is built on top of Metal and available as a free third party library for your app bundles

I'm sure people would prefer Apple lead the pack and embrace a new standard before the rest of the industry, but it doesn't really buy them anything with their Metal investment to be first adopter, and it is very Anti-Apple to want to cede that sort of control. Especially when nobody else is doing it.
It is hard to prove that you can learn fast.

If you can learn the buzzword framework in 2weeks, then you should be able to fool the HR in day one and perform good enough in the technical interview.

Besides that, if the company insist on the buzzword, it won't be a suitable company for you... :)
It's good fun, like an swiss knife type language. Doco is pretty average, a lot of aha moments.

But once you get going you're really fast at pumping native tools.
Observations on trackpoint input data
We shared our true figures when Chessable got on IH.

I don’t see what could be the motivation behind lying?

If one did hoping to catch investors eyes, investors would quickly uncover the lie, as they definitely do check!
TIM was one of my favorite games of all time. One of the nicest features of it is that for more complex puzzles, there were so many different ways of achieving the result, sometimes in very strange and peculiar ways. Most games at the time did not allow such freedom to the player.
Thats odd. Went to London as well and didnt have to work in restaurants and had absolutely no issue opening an account.
Do you agree that the active button should always be the least destructive action, irregardless of which button comes first from left to right?
Hi Courtland, as my username suggests, I am a big fan of IH but I've almost completely stopped visiting. All feedback/suggestions are in good faith.

- Blog : this was the single most valuable part of IH in the early days. Your struggles to grow, make money were so relatable. While the numbers might not have given you an idea of how wonderful the blog was, I'm sure people who've read it feel the same. Please consider restarting the blog. Share your struggles, what metrics you track, what goals if any Stripe expects you to hit, life post acquisition, why you make certain decisions (pushing for signups which IMO is a terrible idea) etc. The blog can be a great way to get feedback before making changes.

- Don't push for signups. Someone mentioned that signing up was required to read the transcripts. This pushes people away. While the numbers might be great, moving away from a no BS design rarely works long term. It's good that you reverted that signup requirement.

- Community participation : You and your brother's participation is extremely valuable but I've noticed that you guys are taking a back seat and letting the community grow organically. In theory it sounds good, but I urge you to reconsider. The community is not large enough to be self sustaining.

- Development speed : Why do you take sooo long to make simple changes like changing the navbar? If there's a reason, I'd love to learn why this is so. Please move a little faster. All the changes like badges, changing the podcasts page. interviews page, adding Stripe verified revenue actually make the experience worse. The interview and podcast pages are unusable now with so much going on. It's so cluttered. The old one was way better. The new design has actively pushed me away from the interviews and podcasts. Focus on building features that actually make a meaningful difference : DMs, software to organize meetups etc.

- Speed : the IH site is slow and full of junk tracking. Please make it work faster. SPAs are great in theory but are almost always worse than server rendered pages.
Adobe Premier runs just fine on Windows, an ecosystem where raw power comes much cheaper. It wasn’t so much lackluster GPUs as the decline of Final Cut Pro.
The very early 787 production after those two units were sold to Ethiopian at a significant discount. They are far overweight and were plagued with a series of defects requiring warranty service.
I’ve worked with for a Tesla supplier and can attest that they do ask for some exotic designs/stuff. What made my company a good partner is that it was relatevely small and technologically advanced, we could cope with their engineering requests and changes and collaborated on R&D. When they went for the model 3 they used a bigger OEM supplier. We heard constant complaints about lack of flexibility. They iterate faster than other manufacturers. They are... different.
Have you got a rebuttal for that quotes section?

ASUS is Taiwanese but as with most Taiwanese oem and odm these days, does the bulk of its manufacturing in the mainland. Same for others like msi, tyan, supermicro, quanta, hon hai precision industry (foxconn), etc.

Sierra was just so great, particularly their Impressions Games group. Lords of the Realm, Civil War Generals, Caesar, the Dr Brain games

Sierra even published Half-Life
I've heard lots of good things about KDE lately.

For Canonical: I suppose it sort of makes sense from a historical perspective in that before Unity they used Gnome, so they were returning to Gnome. But given that Gnome appears to be a single-threaded Javascript engine with memory leaks, I'm not convinced it's a great choice. Still, Gnome is backed by Red Hat and just got a $1 million donation ( https://www.gnome.org/news/2018/05/anonymous-donor-pledges-1... ), so in theory it should get better....but I've been thinking "it should get better soon" for a while, so who knows.
There's no need to imagine such an epidemic. We're all going to die. And sometimes that involves extended periods of pain and suffering, with no chance of survival. In civilized places, voluntary euthanasia is available. Elsewhere, one needs to plan ahead.
I was walking through a computer store recently and I couldn't help but notice how tacky all the computers looked. The Touch Bar may be frivolous, pretty useless and a waste of money, but it blends into the design of the laptop and most importantly, is subtle. Now, Asus could certainly prove me wrong and implement some beautiful, understated software for the touchpad, but judging by the demo photos, that isn't the case. Not to mention, how does it perform as a touchpad? Will I have to avoid hitting some corner for fear that it will open a new app? At least the Touch Bar took away features that most consumers (i.e. non professional computer users) won't miss.
At least it didn't pull an uncontrolled reentry over the Canadian Arctic.
Hi tnolet I am co-founder of SenseGrow (http://sensegrow.com) would try out checklyhq. Was looking for something like this.
I honestly have no idea what you are going on about. Nobody else is talking about “changes”, workflow-breaking or otherwise.

You said “In fact, I'd say this is even clearer, putting the question at the end and immediately following it with the two choices:”

Did you ever test this explicitly vs. the recommended alternative of using verbs for labels? (Ideally by doing a user study, but heck, I’ll take anything...)

I claim that this has been empirically tested and found to be inferior (i.e. result in higher error rate) in a variety of studies, both in published research and internal to various large companies which then got baked into their design guidelines. This was a subject of active research in the 1970s–1990s (and perhaps before).

You can find reasonably good advice about the subject in any number of introductory interface design textbooks, etc.

In this particular case, where user data is being irrevocably deleted, errors are especially harmful.

Edit: Maybe the word “terrible” in my previous comment was unfair. Sorry to be inflammatory.
Unsur Keberuntungan Dalam Bermain Situs Judi Online
I used to constantly refresh indiehackers in its early days just to see if there was a new interview. At that point, the website was straightforward; you have just stories of people who have built something and you get to know how they did that. They just lay it out in the open and you take whatever you seem fit.

Now, the site homepage just looks like a mashup of all the 'start scratching your own itch' books giving 'agile/practical' ideas.

I wish the homepage focussed on what the site was originally about (like it used to be) - stories on how people actually built a small(profitable) tech business. It should be left to the visitors to find their way to move to more subjective realms like forums, posts discussing 'practical business ideas' etc
Ruby has made huge strides to be sure. However this is a bit hyperbolic IMHO.

Golang plus gin, sure. However there are other Go frameworks on the charts that blast the Ruby competition out of the water. Ruby isn't really on the podium at all with C, C++, Rust, Golang, C#, and Java about an order of magnitude out in the lead on fortunes.

Martini isn't much of a framework itself either, so lets forget the full featured nonsense. Almost none of the ecosystem is in play with these benchmarks. You could build a system up around fasthttp just as well as net/http, and ASP.NET certainly can't be accused of being a for-purpose contender.

The most impressive thing IMHO is how well Ruby is doing on maximum latency. I can't quite reconcile that considering fasthttp is pretty much zero-allocation and golangs stop the world is in the microseconds.. Pretty impressive.

Probably it reads like textbook gatekeeping and doesn't add much to the discussion.

Granted this doesn't really either, but I'd rather people be interested in learning something rather than just be intimidated because they can't "really" learn anything about AI. That's just plain mean-spirited.
The biggest problem to me is that while IH started out as a curated collection of interviews, it's turned into a forum where basically everyone has advice in the form of articles they want to share and success stories...even when they're brand new. The early content had a sense of authority and assuredness that the tips and successes were genuine.

There's a thread on IH right now called "Why would a company lie about their revenue on IH?" [0] that perfectly exemplifies this. Earnings mean absolutely nothing if people lie. One bad number can spoil the whole lot. It shouldn't because that's just how statistics works, but it calls into question every non-verified number on the site. It's not motivating that people claim to get $x thousands of dollars per month without something backing it. It just starts to look like fake critical mass.

As counter-intuitive as it is, I'd like to see less company names. More founder names, less companies. Less "here's how I got my first users for SUPER PRODUCT" articles, because it feels like it's all just a way to promote SUPER PRODUCT. SUPER PRODUCT made $100k a month (and you've never heard of SUPER PRODUCT). That might help cut down on fake revenue numbers and inspire more integrity. As it stands, it seriously does feel like a part time ad forum.

Excuse me if I stray out a little (I wholeheartedly agree with your comment) and ask you how is that your bed needs making. Are these things uncommon over there?

I'll be happy when Lenovo releases another ThinkPad which has NO trackpad, and only the TrackPoint.
Oh, there's plenty to refute. Uneducated is plainly false. Not that smart is also clearly a non-starter.

Willful misuse of the word community is different from blundering misuse. Like much of facebook's practice in the black art of dark patterns, malice is suspect well before the presumption of incompetence. No time for Hanlon's razor here.

Emotional blackmail is deeply engrained into facebook's user interface, and serves as a driver of profits. So deeply pervasive this principle seems to be, that it would be unsurprising to find the infectious premise of such a persuasive tactic permeating Zuckerberg's general demeanor and subliminal mannerisms.

Still I'd suspect that calculating organizational malice doesn't preclude an individual still mostly being a nice guy, but with an apparatus like facebook being as huge as it is, beyond any single human, it matters less whether one is simply "a nice guy" at all, but rather a nice guy at what level, and to whom?

Does Mark Zuckerberg regard different types of strangers differently from one another? Which ones? When and why? How do strangers compare to employees, friends on a first name basis, or family members? Not all of these things are likely to be held in equal regard.
The examples they've currently demonstrated are useless, and that's probably because ASUS alone cannot bring software partners on board. Real use cases will arrive when Windows adds support for touchscreen pads, which I think they should do. Once software support is available, ASUS's implementation can be used by "pro-users" in novel ways; especially in content creation apps.

Apple's bar is one dimensional, which limits what it can be used for. I wouldn't trade that for physical keys I press every day.
I use a Trackball mouse so this sounds awesome but I already decided to get a Microsoft Surface Book 2 for my next laptop so I wont bother.

This is absolutely valuable advice. Initial sales interaction gives you a lot of market insight. It has a lotof value in initial days.
With time, I have come to realize that giving to charity is not a good measure of goodness. In statistical terms, it would be if the data was not biased. However, that's not true.

A lot of religious institutions tell followers that charity is required by God, and doing charity would make them more liked by God (and hence you will get a better treatment in after-life). This makes it very difficult to compare the data across the two groups.
Reminds me of the moving platform idea a few years back. Essentially, platform trains would run on a loop, connecting to high speed express trains. It sounded unsafe, but maybe not more dangerous than a slip coach.

I see that you’re posting under a pseudonym - in line with Facebook, HN doesn’t allow that unless it’s the nickname you use in meatspace. Please correct and add location data, psychological profiling and demographics so that your data is worth a bit more when sold/leaked. /s obviously.
No more vanity projects for the desktop version of Ubuntu is what I got out of it. He’s probably referring to the spirit in which Ubuntu desktop was originally released (the Linux desktop for everybody) and now the focus is on things that can assist virtualization and containers in the cloud.

You're confusing the First Amendment with the principle of Free Speech.

When it comes to privately owned forums, they may have absolute control over what is acceptable to say, but those who disagree with their policies are perfectly justified in criticizing them for violating the principle of free speech.

But it isn't even as black and white as you say from a legal standpoint. There is precedent (Marsh v. Alabama) for the owners of a publicly-used, privately-owned space to have their rights limited in order to protect the constitutional rights of persons using the space. The same principle could apply to sites as large as Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit.
It does the bulk of its assembly in mainland China, assembly != production obviously, which is why, for example, most of an iPhone isn’t made in China even if it is assembled there.

Components not made in China are actually more expensive to source there outside of SEZs.
Keep in mind the flat sheet provides a barrier to protect your comforter from your gross body. Sheets are easier to wash than a comforter.
I only ever read Indie Hackers when something is posted to HN and makes the front page. And when I saw today's post, I clicked through, read several of the vignettes (which read like a hybrid of a story and an advertisement), and wondered:

Isn't this basically the same thing that I read on Indie Hackers last time it was on HN?

Perhaps I just got unlucky and it happened to be very similar to the last IH post I read about on HN, but this was my reaction. It made me slightly curious to know if there was more to IH than this (and I can see now that there is).

But mostly I felt like the linked post was not terribly valuable, and that it was upvoted by people who had written a story of their own in the HN comments, and then upvoted to get more exposure.

Sorry if this is too cynical, but it's my honest feedback.
Great summary.

Another thing to note in the Factorio mockups is the use of a guideline that I originally picked up from the macOS HIG[1]: use descriptive verbs rather than a generic confirmation.

"Apply settings" vs "OK"

"Load game" vs "OK"

"Delete file" vs "OK"

"Send email" vs "OK"

"Print" vs "OK"

and so on.

I call bullshit!

More than 50% of companies have positions that could telecommute and 24%+ of people telecommute fully or partly now.[2]

People do want to live in large cities because of all the cool shit there to do, and that convenience costs money.

You can afford a two-bedroom house in the south-eastern part of the US on $15/hour, which wouldn't even cover the costs of being homeless in SF or NYC.

I understand people want convenience and people want to be close to friends and family, but many of them (not all) could easily solve this problem by simply moving. People seem to think they are "owed" affordable housing regardless of where that housing is -- which is absurd!

Yeah, unix usually is based on reactor pattern async I/O, while IOCP is proactor pattern.

You can build a proactor pattern on top of a reactor pattern, but that implementation needs to provide quite a bit - more coordination of pending memory/state and probably needing back pressure support (which I never really understood if Microsoft supplied or if you had to track that yourself).

I know Microsoft used to have several IOCP-related patents; I believe I remember one for event scheduling for multi-threaded locality (preferring to dispatch a completion to the same thread that made the original request).

Office appears to have non-trivial ribbon integration:

> The [Excel and Word] ribbon where they live occupies 20% of the screen on the ZenBook Pro, so shifting those functions to the top edge of the trackpad gives you more space to do your work.

At first sight the thing is terrifying, but it seems a rather quite reasonable alternative play on the touchbar that does not mess with the ability to sell the device. Two massive benefits: the tactile response of the keyboard is totally preserved, and the feature can be entirely disabled for conservative users who cannot think of an immediate use for the display.

Clearly it will appeal to gadgeteers (as much as I expect the touchbar does) who can use it for instrumentation or other generally distracting applications. Then there is the blindingly obvious: video editing on a laptop always sucks, there is never enough screen space. But moving the monitor window (rendered video preview) to the touchpad area might change that considerably -- it amounts to a 25% increase in display area, and in a 'natural application' of video editing, the monitor would be separate anyway.

I think this design, simply by virtue of being optional, and large and rectangular, is hugely more applicable than the touchbar.

The modality (pumping F6 to enable/disable) could definitely be improved upon. I can imagine it quite natural to use a hot corner of the pad itself as a toggle, or perhaps some gesture or similar.

Very excited to see how these work out in the real world

They will sue if they see an emerging threat to the survivability of their core buisness. No one can touch Google on their ads and search ecosystem so they won’t sue. This is an illusion of benevolence.
As part of its marketing products Google used to have a keyword analysis tool that enabled the look up of search statistics for keywords. It also recommend keywords based on a target URL. They’ve changed their tools since I used it last, but I assume something similar still exists.

The approach of discovering a keyword niche and targeting it is harder now that more people know about the technique.
So, in order for that 24 percent to be free to move where they please, that needs to be a figure where they can telecommute full time or where going to the office occasionally from farther away costs less than the amount saved by moving farther away. On top of that, all other household members would need to be equally portable, such as a working spouse or children attending school.

I got myself off the street in part by developing portable earned income and moving someplace cheap. It is something I am willing to recommend as a method. But my entire household was free to move. That isn't always the case.
Does computer architecture count? I find myself using that knowledge all the time to optimize hot code for physical simulations.
The downvotes are because it's not clear what the heck you are saying. For example:

I remember reading a proposal for a system where a high speed train would travel non-stop for the entire length of its route. In halfway towns a shuttle would be sent out to match the train's speed, interface with it to exchange passengers then detach to return to the halfway town platform.

It sounds unbelievable, but remember it was once considered insane to consider building a railway between Liverpool and Manchester.
