Part of the point of consoles is to provide a stable platform, both for developers and for consumers. Their lifetime tends to be around 7 years. Toward the end of that cycle, they're always going to be completely outclassed by gaming PCs.

Because of software optimisation and developer familiarity, every consoles' late-in-cycle titles are far more graphically impressive than the early-in-cycle titles. Compare Halo 1 and Halo 2 for the original Xbox, for instance, or GTA IV and GTA V on the PS3.

Also, games consoles are generally sold at a loss, with the manufacturer more than making up for this by taking a cut from every subsequent game purchase. They don't want their device to cost far more than the competition, and they don't want to drown because of the console being a loss-leader, so they have to strike a balance in how impressive their console hardware is.
I agree with your comment, yet I wish to pick a nit:

> n(n-1)/2

> exponentially

I see this a lot in mainstream media (who simply can't help themselves) and increasingly so on HN (where we should know better): using "exponential" as a synonym for "explosive". I'd love for all of us to stop that. n(n-1)/2 isn't exponential growth, it's quadratic, and once you're at more than 10-ish team members the difference is enormous :-)
Browsh also has mouse support judging by the showcase video.

Residential property is overpriced and supply exceeds demand. It's unlikely prices will fall - in India people would rather hold on to property than sell at even a slightly lower price - but you would have to be in for the really long haul to realize a decent profit.
I find this reporting biased. It would be one thing if the court found Monsanto bullied scientists. It is another when the plaintiffs attorney says it.
When I was at university, there were a few older students that had come from careers in software development.

They were split into two camps: One would study part-time over several years to boost the knowledge they already have. The other would use it as a "reset", in order to move into different types of development. Given our location near a bunch of defence contractors and big-name engineering firms, many of these developers were keen to get out of that world, and viewed getting a degree as their chance to jump from low-level development to working on web stuff, or in higher-level languages.

I remember one guy that flew through all of his programming assignments, and would spend most of his time chatting to lecturers about C. He was earning money that made student me's eyes water, but he took three years out and moved into building web applications. Within a few years he went from junior to technical manager at a large agency, and now he's heading his own startup.

On the .NET front, some of the best .NET developers I've worked with had no degree, so I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing skills-wise, but I do share your concern that you simply don't know what roles you'll have missed out on due to not having a degree. It's also another layer to throw onto the standard "imposter syndrome" that all developers face. Should you choose to do a degree, my only advice is to budget well. The adjustment from 9-5 to student life is hard enough without having to worry about whether you've got the money to afford that book you really need.
hi,
what do you think about the approaches of CiliumProject ? (https://opensource.googleblog.com/2016/11/cilium-networking-...). They do have a Docker plugin (but does not work seamlessly with Swarm), but they claim to use BPF for superior performance https://cilium.io/blog/2018/04/17/why-is-the-kernel-communit...

I think the Kubernetes and Swarm devs have generally leveraged IPVS as the next step from iptables. Any thoughts on going straight to BPF ?

Thanks for your advice, it's really helpful. I agree, I think it has a large gimmick factor, for which I don't think there's a huge amount of $ (though it does help spread the word). You have a good point about finding a niche in a large company. As others have mentioned this looks like it would be to do with endeavours out in the field so to speak, where the Internet is slow and/or expensive. So eg; military or shipping operations.

So at the moment I guess it's just best to hope as many different people and organisations see Browsh as possible and seeing what sticks and where.

I agree that it's a decent approach for that extremely narrow use case.

My point is the extent to which that is different from the peak of XML's hype cycle, which was circa 2000. Then, XML was everywhere. E.g., eBay circa 2004 would render data internally as XML, which would get passed off to multiple Rube Goldbergian XSLT transformation layers on its way to becoming HTML. Or I did some work at a bank around then, and their internal architecture was very XML-heavy. There was no good reason for this, and from what I see JSON now dominates.

I note though that your examples were all created when XML's hype cycle was in full swing, and many have enterprise roots. I'll be interested to see if projects created today end up using XML even for the document-creation cases for which it was intended. JSON is also a way to represent large tree-structured data, and I wouldn't be shocked to see it take over most of the data sharing just because that's what everybody knows.

Hahahaha - no. We use contractors for that too - no one who is outside our offices is an employee. GIS jockeys are contractors too. My developers also and most of the call centers. Essentially the only in-house functions are architecture, project management - everything else is contracted out.

I hold an even more unpopular opinion - socialism doesn't help the poor which it actually tries to. Take a look at how China, Russia and even India's elite have amassed wealth. Purely through a socialistic system which is supposed to help everyone by giving too much power to a handful of people.

To paraphrase someone on HN - laws tend to made for David to fight Goliath. But with time Goliath comes to understand the rules and uses it to shut down the Davids.

I've thought of that too. The trouble is that Browsh's text renderer is more of a science than an art. It's quite hard to actually get a guarantee of the same text twice, which is a pretty important condition of testing.

Usually the question embeds an initial assumption that one answer or the other is the 'default' state, so anchor bias is introduced in the very consideration of the question.

Visiting the page, I'm seeing fewer anchor issues than I'd seen previously, but still seeing some like the following:

'Students Keep "No Platforming" Contentious Speakers. Should They Stop?'

'Should Businesses Deny Service to Trump Administration Officials?'

'Is Science Political?'

Some of these can't be phrased any other way, but a little tuning might help: the latter, for example, has a subtle bias towards science being apolitical, and introduces a new claim: that science may be political. Rephrasing the question 'Is science political or apolitical?' would leave you with only an ordering anchor bias - a slight weighting towards the first item in the list.

This also seems to be a factor in the foundational claim made in each question: it usually picks one side or the other, and all arguments and counterarguments are then firmly grounded in that claim. Perhaps expressing each claim as both a positive and negative claim would make a difference.

For example, in the 'no-platforming' question, the foundational claim is 'Social justice movements should abandon the use of no-platforming at universities'. If there were a way to present both claims as foundational - 'should abandon' vs. 'should embrace', e.g. - you would get a more fleshed-out debate, as the arguments for and against the one are not necessarily arguments against and for the other, respectively.

EDIT: I do see you've added what you call 'multi-thesis debates', this seems to tackle the latter half of this post fairly directly.

The government at federal level is still a very "noisy" affair. The ruling coalition though enjoying significant majority in lower house is far from simple majority in the upper house which holds elections once in 6 years. You only need to watch a few minutes of a session in action to realize it is well and truly a very noisy affair.

India saw the rise of regional parties with the parallel fall of the Congress party since the 90s. There are many states now where Congress has only namesake presence. This resulted in coalition rule at the federal level which was finally reversed in 2014 when BJP came to power with simple majority (though also as part of the NDA coalition). Subsequently it won most state elections, effectively gaining power in 19/31 states/union territories. But due to the bicameral nature of Indian parliament, it is far from majority in the Rajya Sabha (Upper House, where the MPs are indirectly elected). Because of this they have not been able to introduce many legislations.
This approach has already crossed my mind, and its not my favourite either. But if it enables me to make Browsh my job then I'd be open to it. I actually already self-advertise Browsh at the bottom of every https://html.brow.sh page. So I'd certainly be open to placing a simple ad link there at least.

Ha, the "reduce wasted time" idea is interesting one!

Thanks for your support :)

This is an evergreen story. Regulations sold as weapons for davids to defend against goliaths are instead used by goliaths to fend off davids. It turns out that Goliath can learn to use a sling too, and can hurl bigger stones with it. This is why goliaths like regulations so much, and why patents may be more disease than cure.

> Businesses live and die by cash flow. What if cash flows instantly 24/7?

Business payments are delayed not because there is an underlying fault in the payment systems (wire transfers are nearly instantaneous, at least within the country), but because businesses sit on payments.

A new technology isn't going to solve this problem. Businesses like to hold onto invoices as long as they can get away with it.

I've thought about this too, because https://text.brow.sh certainly does make scraping websites easy, you just need to `curl` and `grep`. But the trouble is, as I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, Browsh's text renderer is more of an art than a science, it doesn't guarantee consistent results for every render. Whereas of course downloading HTML and using something like Beautiful Soup does give a much better guarantee of consistency.
Depending on context, does the potential for an event go away when the event does not occur for a long time? Much of the time I'd say that that has no information value whatsoever, and sometimes it may actually signal worse to come. So by itself I would claim the piece of data that you mention, accepting it at face value, is meaningless.

Having lived through 1985, most people did not think email was silly. Even we primitives of that dark age could tell that instant delivery was generally better than waiting a few days.

Moreover, the "most people" standard does not apply. I'm not asking what "most people" think about Bitcoin. I'm asking for evidence of delivered value to early-adopter audiences. In 1985 any crowd of tech people could tell you why email was better. It would have been easy to find non-technical academic staff who were excited about email, as many of them had been using (mostly non-Internet) email for years at that point. Neutral observers could easily be shown that it was valuable.

> I stated some above. But i'll copy/paste:

No, what you stated above was hypothetical. None of those are areas where blockchains are demonstrated to be better than commercial alternatives for any significant audience.

Ten years ago, even five years ago, I would have given you a pass for selling the amazing possibility rather than any actual facts. Sorry, but time's up on that. I'm asking for proof of traction, not further hype.
I do know about Singapore. Feel free to point out another 5 examples from the entire history of mankind, all 5000 years of it, all across the world.

It's be great if html.brow.sh could become a sophisticated proxy that stripped the web down to an absolute bare minimum. Yes I think travelers are the most likely to pay for it, but I think the poorer people of less developed nations would be the largest sector of users.

I was thinking more of a specialized console in the browser where you could write code sort of like the following:

let b = new BreakPoint();

let start = codebase.find('let creditrating');

let end = codebase.find(functionExit('chanceToPurchaseSet'));

let report = new Reporter();

report.preamble = 'line ' + start.lineNumber + ' in file ' + start.codeFile;

report.ending = '-------------------';

report.bindTo(b.reports);

b.reportOn(['undefined','null',b.error]);

start.setBreakpoint(b);

start.runUntil(end);

with of course requisite functionality to do stuff like save scripts, run a saved script, history of reports etc.

Democracy depends on the knowledge and understanding of the people (demos).

General mistrust regarding the media and politicians is required. E.g. the weird behavior of the top UK politicians in the Skripal case, the lies related to the war in Iraq, the war in Libya, the war in Syria.

Understanding the basics of science is important too. If you believe in working cars then you should believe in climate warming and the need for urgent change too because the involved science is basically the same.

Understanding of non-classic or modern or progressive economics is important too.

The government at federal level is still a very "noisy" affair.

Perhaps so. Perhaps not. I suspect we have different definitions of "noisy". There's also a tremendous gap between what you see in the media and how things actually work. That's one of the cornerstones of a corrupt system, sadly: the impenetrable nature of trying to observe it from the outside.

I wish you the best of luck. My advice is to acknowledge human nature and create systems that work with it. These systems tend to be the ones that are able to adapt and thrive over time.
