Impressions Games. Made the Caesar, Lords of the Realm, and Civil War General series of games. I put thousands of hours in on those games. Most of them are now on GoG, but my favorite, Civil War Generals 2, is still not, and is very fiddly to get working on modern OSs.
> The most obvious case would be climate change. Regularly, climate skeptics are given the same amount of airtime as climate scientists, despite the fact that the evidence and opinion is overwhelmingly in support of climate change being a real problem.

Is this actually a thing? As far as I can tell what actually happens is that outlets like Fox News just pretend climate change doesn't exist. They don't host a panel on it with climate skeptics, they just avoid discussing it at all, or center discussions around ad hominem attacks on the character or financial/political incentives of anyone who proposes doing anything about it.

Granted it's hard for them to discuss anything at all now that cable news airtime is 89% commercials.

Because it’s the same situation as with any enterprise software - the buyers are not the users, and they are evaluated at how well they did or not do their job based on a whole host of criteria that have absolutely nothing to do with satisfied users.

I have been working with him and his team at Vulcan on a project. I met him once and he was super cool and deeply interesting within a few minutes of talking with him. He had a way at taking the idea to the next level and not getting bogged down in why it won't work. Vision and drive. His team at Vulcan were all smart, creative and driven. I would work with them on anything. It is a big shock and bummer to hear about him passing.

A few years ago an Indian guy changed his name to get admitted into medical school. I wonder how it would play out if more Asians do this. They should try harder messing with the system, forcing schools to do DNA tests, etc.

This is not unique to software. Physical objects also benefit from iterations in development. That doesn't mean you have to update things you've already sold. The iteration happens when people buy the next version. This used to be how software was sold too.

I don't understand how this is even possible? 100h/w means 14h per day every single day. If you work 8am to 10pm and your commute is 1 hour you'll be spending 7am to 11pm out. Let's say you're ok with 6h sleep every day, you still have 2h to do life. Ignore dinner, entertainment, sex, relaxing, chilling etc... When do these people take shower? Do laundry? Pay bills? Grocery shop? I don't understand. I'm not even questioning the human aspect, it literally seems impossible to me, unless they decided to hire someone who'll do their laundry etc and they take quick showers. Bizarre.

im honestly not sure what your point is here about guys hitting on guys, but in my experience being hit on by women it is a genuinely blurry line.

in general, it makes me very uncomfortable to be touched by someone without giving explicit consent, and over the years this has happened quite a few times (ranging from touching my hair at a bar to forcibly trying to restrain me from leaving after i decline sex). but if someone who i already consider attractive grabs me and starts talking to me, i don't necessarily mind and i might even like it. a whole range of behavior goes from uncomfortable to enjoyable in proportion to how much i am attracted to the person. on the flip side, knowing how uncomfortable it makes me, i will basically never touch anyone (other than to shake hands), unless they have explicitly told me it's okay. i think people perceive me as being kind of cold because of this.

my point isn't that the ambiguity condones bad behavior in any way, but rather that you shouldn't make such sweeping statements to shut people down who might be trying to have a good faith discussion. this stuff is complicated and we need to talk about it.
I'm not arguing that.
I find I tend to see a lot of bugs during hatches. You only see one kind, it lasts a few days, and then it's back to normal. Maybe that's what you saw.

It's still programming; you're just programming with YAML (and inline JS, it appears!!!).

But they get worse every generation. Sometimes they undo something horrible (like when they replaced the function keys with a touch strip on the X1 Carbon, or got rid of the track pad mouse buttons), but other mistakes remain (like changing the keyboard to the same style as everyone else, instead of the Selectric Typewrite shaped keys). And they used to be the poster child for good Linux support, but that's starting to drift away also (things like the fingerprint reader).

> ActiveRecord makes the easy things easy and the difficult things impossible unless you just give up and write SQL, which you could have just done in the first place and wouldn't have actually been that much harder.

Most queries in a typical web application are much easier with ActiveRecord, others with plain sql. A decent rails developer would know to use the right tool for the right situation. Throwing out all of ActiveRecord is throwing out the baby with the bathwater, in my opninion.

It's a computer museum, but they work. They're turned on, and you can use them! You can program them; you can even get an account to access ancient computers over the internet (via telnet).

For example, look at the cool as hell control panel and general design of this thing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_Sigma_9 -- light bulbs add something to computers that LEDs don't. :)

If nothing else, it makes us nerds happy. Thanks, Paul.
These experiences also exacerbate the perception that I referred to before that can basically be summarized as "every previous attempt at making this better ended up being completely terrible". A whole slew of people want to improve things, but a lot of the time they don't take that responsibility seriously enough -- or know, fully, what that entails -- and when they bail that leaves the next would-be "disruptor" at a disadvantage.
talking to customers -> Listening to what the customer's pain points are, what the customer needs, what to address

going to conferences -> Because face-to-face contact is far faster and richer than sending emails

researching competitors -> What aren't we doing that others are doing better / what are we doing that's winning / what to change?

researching products -> well, yes, constantly learning

Is it any surprise they tend to make more than people stuck in the office coding?

Listening to customer needs, staying ahead, constantly learning. Sounds like good general career advice.
Note! The examples link is for Phaser 2. Phaser 2 has good documentation but development stopped about two years ago. Phaser CE (community edition) picked up where Phaser 2 left off and went from 2.6 to 2.11, cleaning things up a bit and adding support for stuff like new event APIs. Meanwhile, the original Phaser developer released Phaser 3 and many revisions (up to 3.14 now), but the documentation isn't organized as well as the Phaser 2 docs yet.

Anyway, it's a good framework but you have to pick a version and there isn't an obvious answer.
full disclosure: I'm a PM in FANG

I think that's what the bad PMs do. Good PMs think 'what is the smallest possible thing we could do to start truly adding value against our problem space?'

If Harvard was scoring Asians no worse than Whites, there would be less outrage.

Instead, data is suggesting that Harvard actively is discriminating against Asians in favor of all other groups (including Whites). That is absolutely not justified by "systemic racism" of the past (esp. given that Asians also suffered systematic racism in the past)
"Later this fall, they are launching Callisto for founders. Callisto detects serial perpetrators of sexual coercion and assault, and connects survivors to each other and their options for taking action to protect their community.

Founders will be able to use Callisto to securely store the identities of perpetrators of sexual coercion and assault. These identities will be encrypted in a way that not even the Callisto team can view. If multiple founders name the same perpetrator, they will be referred to an attorney who can then decrypt the founder’s contact info and reach out to provide them with free advice on their options for coming forward, including the option to share information with other victims of the same perpetrator."

-------------------

Collusion between witnesses can derail a court case. The best way to prevent charges of collusion is to limit communication between witnesses. This system absolutely should put an attorney in touch with the founders to build a case, but it should not put them in touch with each other. At least, not until after pressing legal charges is ruled out.
I'm really curious to see how much they made
Are conservatives disproportionately posting false information about voting requirements, voting methods, long lines at polling places, and violence at polling places?

That's what the article is about filtering, so if conservatives aren't doing that more than liberals, their posts won't be hit more.
The number one thing you can do to get doctors to use your new tool is find a way so that they don't have to enter patient data again.

The fear they have isn't that they'll be replaced on the job. The fear they have is that they will be required by some policy to enter yet another copy of the same data into yet another "time saving" system.
The good thing about competing in the enterprise is that price is just one part of the overall criteria that you are judged on. Clearly, SendGrid has some winning value proposition that resonates if they are indeed more expensive and command their reported margins (I haven't personally checked).
It seems like you're writing as though the survey result was "experienced unwanted sexual overtures or sexual badgering, in the course of seeking funding." (Emphasis mine). That italicized portion wasn't actually written, though. Absent that portion, it seem like the survey considers advances harassment even when no power dynamic exists. See this example (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18225474) for a situation where this is not the case, as well as my other post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18225907) to see an example of why explicit wording of question like this can profoundly change the actual meaning of responses to question like this.
It's a good read.

I often wonder what would have become of him had his parents not had the forethought to send him to Lakeside School; his family wasn't rich like Bill Gates' family; I imagine, with money, Gates would have done well whether or not he had gone to that school, but if Allen hadn't, and therefore hadn't met Gates, where would have gone?

It makes me think long and hard about my children's education. They'll get a fantastic education regardless of what school they go to, since we'll learn at home, but just how important is the networking? Does that itself supercede the education?

I guess biographies always make you ask yourself these what if questions, and often apply them to yourself.

It's hard to take these articles seriously. Do these psychologists think that the average person's issue is they get distracted 60 times a day on their weekends? Who cares about that???

My problem is that I get interrupted 160 times a day in my workplace!!! How do these suggestions help me in my workplace? Shall I tell my boss that I can't reply his email right now because I am counting back in sevens from 1000 or what???
Arguably, new styles of programming are making concurrency less important. You won't always need a concurrent language when you can spin up a thousand instances of your function on platforms like AWS Lambda etc.
Wow, I've been thinking about smaller phones a lot lately. Eventually settled on using one of my old (small) phones when I go biking. iPhone 5s is great for this.

I also recently got one of the smallest 4g phones out there- the UniHertz Jelly ($100). It was impressively small, weighing in at only 80g [0]! Compare that with the latest iPhones at something like 208g.

Cons: Difficult to remove the back panel to swap the SIM without marring the plastic edges.
It's made of such cheap plastic that it does not inspire confidence for longevity. Easy to envision it easily scratching and becoming trash over time.

This palm thing for $350 is way to much for a toy phone, imo. Definitely doesn't seem to have higher utility than an old iPhone or Android device.

A worthy, pioneering investment.

I'll also remember Paul for the Museum of Pop Culture, a wonderful gift to the Pacific Northwest. Born as the 'Experience Music Project' in 2000, it has since added a Sci-Fi museum which became the SFF Hall of Fame. Much appreciated by all fans of pop music and sci-fi, and a location for numerous cultural and educational events.
One could say that the Saudis have moved on from spreading wahhabism and funding terrorists as well, regretted their mistakes spreading an intolerant ideology, and are now much nicer.

But I guess the kingdom is still permeated with Sunni Islam and they are willing to bomb the crap out of Yemen so it won’t fall into Shiite Houthis’ hands.

One time pads are theoretically more secure than any other form of encryption. If implemented correctly they offer information theoretic security, whereas modern encryption schemes can only provide computational security.

Information theoretic security essentially means that we cannot learn anything whatsoever about a plaintext from a ciphertext. There exists no information leakage.

In order to achieve this we need to 1) use an encryption key at least as long as the plaintext, 2) generate that key secure and (truly) randomly, and 3) never reuse that key for the duration of the session. Computational security was invented (in part) because this is a completely unrealistic ideal to strive for in approximately all communication. If I want to securely send you an plaintext with a size of 1GB, I need to first securely generate a truly random 1GB string and exchange that with you. Since that secure exchange would obviate the encryption in the first place, it's more likely I'd generate a significantly larger key and exchange that with you first, then only use as much of the key as necessary for each exchanged message in the session.

This makes one time pads extremely inefficient - in order to achieve the information theoretic advantages of one time pads all messages must be doubled in size and no part of the key can ever encrypt the same part of the text. It's effectively a stream cipher. If you and I encrypt recurring metadata, or we reuse common idioms or greetings under the same key, we immediately lose information theoretic security. Then we're downgraded to a ridiculously inefficient stream cipher with computational security. At that point we might as well use AES, or ChaCha-Poly.

One time pads are used (typically by the government), but it's very uncommon and reserved for areas where literally no expense is spared. The purpose of computational security is to make cryptography more efficient and practical via a simple tradeoff. We get disproportionately more efficiency back by accepting infeasibility instead of impossibility.

Does that help clarify things for you?
Try superhuman - it feels like this but better (faster, more keyboard shortcuts, filtering), imho
> Perhaps hanging out at an old fashioned bar might not be bad. Not the ones with fancy music but the ones that remain somewhat rustic, where you can just have a beer and a random conversation.

This is one thing I loved about rural Ireland. The service out there was so shitty and was a pain in the ass to get a text message in the old pub, let alone data. So it forced you to be more in the present with the people you're chatting with, even if they were just locals while you were visiting. It was really nice, actually. I wonder how a bar that is built to specifically jam signal while inside would fare?

I definitely agree with you about the anti-blockchain bubble that's formed, but I think that there are a few unanswered questions about non-technological factors (shameless self-promotion: [1]) that will unfortunately limit them to be little more than interesting technologies for now.

A large part of this is how one choses to use their smartphone.

By default, it's a device that's receives a million notifications, but I've turned off most of them, so it's back to being a tiny computer that's helpful to look stuff up with. I only get notifications on four things:

1) phone calls - it's still a phone

2) "texts" (SMS/WhatsApp/iMessage/Line) - I disable Slack because it's too noisy aside from one "emergency" channel for work

3) one email account that notifies me of new gmail logins, foreign transactions, bank withdrawals, etc. to keep the junk mail away, i use filters on my other accounts to forward emails to this one special "notifications" account

4) financial ticker (which is set to only notify when something drops more than 5%)

I once made a real meals-and-visits schedule signup sheet app for a sick relative (dozens of folks signing up for slots over days, etc.) in about 20 minutes, including learning a bunch about the tool.

Ultimately it "just" made CRUD apps, but it made the process amazingly fast. The equivalent of updating a Django model and view was usually a click or two with no waiting, and the only typing was to name things.
Great, just what more women need - a man telling them how they should feel about being sexually assaulted. "Come on baby, I only touched you a little bit, it's no big deal".

Being asked by a VC about sex, going on a date, or grabbing a drink while trying to secure money from them is far worse than being fondled by some random guy in a nightclub.
