I think you're on the right track with this. The issue, apparently, for Spielberg is the definition of a movie. From the article it seems that his definition includes the requirement that a film must be shown in theaters to be a movie. I don't think the average person thinks of movies that way. Especially not in today's world with Redbox and streaming services.

Personally, I never really thought about the definition right now, but I think a crude definition would include something regarding runtimes since I think part of what defines a movie is its length. You can do more with additional time than a 30 or 60 minute TV episode can do. However, you can do more with a miniseries or episodic TV over the long term with regards to character development, story arcs, etc. I think the definition of a movie has to be somewhere between the individual episode and the miniseries.
Pay for level 1 positions is indeed not great, but the money is pretty good in companies that value support enough to do it in-house and once you've learned enough to be senior/backline to a whole crew of juniors.

I do agree that the pay does not necessarily reflect the fact that the job is often harder than mere software development: you're basically debugging other people's software in realtime, often while angry people yell at you.
Agreed. I feel we are spending enormous resources optimizing things that don't need optimization at all, like ordering laundry detergent. It would be nice if we spent a fraction of these resources optimizing more important/irritating items, like waiting times at government offices for example - I've been to a handful in my lifetime, and every single time it has been a terrible experience. Meaningless paperwork, paper based systems, clueless/disinterested employees...

And the one place worse than gov offices are the hospitals :(

It is hilarious that we save a few minutes here and there using fancy stuff like dash buttons, only to waste all that time at the doctor's office, DMV, immigration, permits...
I think clonezilla uses partition specific tools for copying. You could dd to a new drive, but you would not be able to enlarge the partition. You would need to create a larger partition manually an copy data.

You might be able to do a fresh install (same version) and then copy over it with your existing installation. You'd have to mount both partitions.

When I started at my current place, I had some great learning experiences answering the support phone after the regular support staff had gone home for the day. Officially our support ended at 1600, but sometimes I'd hear the phone ring 5-6 times in a row, so I figured they probably had an urgent issue and picked it up.

Since I was still quite new, this introduced me to areas of the program I didn't know very well yet, as well as learning just how the users used our program. This knowledge has been invaluable when improving the program.

I also had several instances of me going "wait why did you click there before going here?" with a reply along the lines of "oh if I don't do that I'll get an error message, let me show you", bugs that had never been reported yet being present for years.

Movie theaters will lose popularity but the theater experience cannot be reproduced in the home at least for the foreseeable future.

I don't see many films in theaters because many films gain nothing by being viewed at the theater. I often see films in like Interstellar, Dunkirk, Blade Runner, etc that are an assault on the senses and have a lot to gain through theater viewing.

The question to me is- will people care? There are plenty of examples of people shirking quality for convenience.

Friend 2: 55$

Total: 150$

I didn't increased the money supply.

> It's only created in the sense that the person they've lent it to can spend it while the depositor still has it in their account.

That's the thing, the depositor can still use that money. Friend 1 can't spend 50$ right now, only 40$, while the depositor in a bank, can still spend 50$.
Once upon a time, most growth came from creating supply chains for things people already knew they needed. Then, it was about creating products that made people's lives better in ways they didn't expect. Now, increasingly, it's about getting an audience together and adapting to what they need as it changes over time. Staying close to the customer is getting more and more important.

I've always felt like this effect is just perception. LibreOffice Writer starts in a couple of seconds on my current laptop, for example. I remember when Word took a few multiples of that in the past.

One great thing my company does is put a prominent link on the intranet homepage where anyone in the company can schedule a 1 hour shadowing session with customer support. You don't need a reason and within a few hours you've got time scheduled within the next few days. I think the whole process was actually driven by support as they wanted the rest of company to know what they do and see what they see.
Make an appointment with a mental health professional. They can help you contextualize what is going on (is it burnout? Depression? Maybe something with a physiological cause? Is your current gig not a good place for you?) way more effectively than a forum of your peers. I’m sure many people here can relate to some/all of what you describe, but that doesn’t make them qualified to answer your question as it applies to you as a whole person. Professionals, while not perfect, are much better at doing that.
Congrats on this - there are some really good ideas here that would definitely improve Github further. IMHO, there is still room for improvement:

- Mobile - Github's mobile experience is less than desirable, proposing a mobile-first approach here would be amazing;

- Tabs - having a row with more than 10 tabs won't help much on improving the navigation, not to mention localization;

- Overview tab - this is a great idea, but it would depend on the user type. If you are the owner or contributor to the repository, you'd most like benefit from the glanced overview page, but if you are a regular user, you would want to see the Readme.md view to decide if the repo is what s/he is looking for or if it's well documented.
Just using it for what?

We're arguing slightly different things. Sure, guns don't kill people. Referrer as an aggregate statistic, on its own is pretty harmless. This script doesn't even phone home on its own.

But it's what you do with that data. How you collect it. What you collect with it. How you aggregate, or infer from it. Modern sales funnelling and marketing is all sold around targeting users. That's what this all feeds into.

It was in the plans back in the late 1970s/early 1980s. You can see it popular science of the past, along with a lot of other parts to the total shuttle system, very little of which was ever built. The basic idea is you can put lots of things in the cargo bay, parts to a space station (not the ISS, though the shuttle was used to build the ISS), a rocket to get from low earth orbit to something else, a bus for lots of people.

I wonder how much was a serious proposal, and how much was an artist allowed to daydream.
Hi HN,

3 of us from the MIT Senseable City Laboratory, Singapore developed this tool in the past 6-8 months. We wanted to create something to help us picture the price landscape whenever we felt like taking a holiday. With so many destinations in South East Asia we thought of a map-based price-first approach could make the exploration process fun and intuitive.

You can set your own origin and preferred dates. The tool then gets you live prices of the cheapest return flight to each and every city in the world. It allows you to filter the options by visa, weather, price, region, direct/indirect. By clicking on a city you can get the entire list of flights to the city.

Hope you enjoy it.
By the way, as always it turns out that things are not so simple as just adding a more efficient photosynthesis pathway to a life-form and everything will be better. There are complex trade-offs between the different photosynthesis pathways, and some results are counter-intuitive. Despite having evolved independently multiple times, practically no tree species with the C4 pathway seem to have evolved: only "grasses, herbs, bushes and shrubberies"[0]. According to the summary on Wikipedia[1], C4 has an advantage in high temperatures and low rainfall environments, and needs more sunlight. Furthermore, as a linked article on the researchgate discussion[3] mentions:

> While growth and photosynthetic potentials are typically less in the woody species relative to the C4 plants, the woody seedlings often tolerate low light within the C4 canopy, and will steadily grow until they overtop the C4 plants, unless they are reduced or killed by an episodic disturbance (Bond and Midgley, 2000; Wedin, 2004; Bond, 2008)

So there is a reason the trees win in the long-run if left undisturbed, and that could mean that adding C4 to other plants isn't a panacea as it is less robust under poor sunlight conditions. And in another article[3] comparing a C3 tree with one of the few known C4 trees:

> The results show that the carbon-gaining capacity of E. forbesii is comparable to that of a C3 species in a moderately cool, shaded forest environment. There appears to be no particular advantage or disadvantage associated with the C4 photosynthetic pathway of E. forbesii in this environment.

Perhaps most disturbing is this opening sentence in the abstract of a paper from 2006:

> Plants with the C4 photosynthetic pathway dominate today's tropical savannahs and grasslands, and account for some 30% of global terrestrial carbon fixation. Their success stems from a physiological CO2-concentrating pump, which leads to high photosynthetic efficiency in warm climates and low atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

Since "low atmospheric CO2 concentrations" are not exactly our biggest concern at the moment, does C4 actually help then?

So as always, improving on nature is complicated.

Still don't understand it though. If the bad code is already able to alter the files on disk is it really make a difference whether the data was altered before or after the using code had mapped it into its memory ? Either the file is changed before the process starts, in which case it already gets bad data, or it is altered after in which case it only sees it after experiencing memory pressure.

Wouldn't the issue be the change on disk in the first place ?

but Roma had a theatrical release so i'm not sure it counts here

He seems to think that Roma sticks to the letter of the law, but not the spirit and thus wants the law changed. Roma, the argument goes, had a limited token theatrical release solely to qualify it for the Oscars, but the intention was always that people where meant to see the movie on 'TV' rather than at the cinema.
It was open sourced for a brief period of time, and torrents of that can still be found floating around.

But I agree with you, it's an amazing OS and it's a shame it didn't get a w8der userbase.
Well I do freelance work at a client which paid out about 20k in bounties in the last few weeks.

10k was for a bug that had actually been found by the internal test-team on a Friday after a new release on Wednesday. Over the weekend however, a bounty hunter/pen-tester discovered the same thing...

There was some internal discussion (certainly because an internal ticket existed with an extensive discussion) about paying out this bounty - but eventually was decided to not bother with it and not get a rep of screwing over bounty hunters/pen-testers, certainly because this was a guy they already worked with before, and they had actually informed him and a few others specifically about the new release that Wednesday.

They did inform the guy that the internal testing had already found this, but since it was still open on the public-facing service at the time he reported it, they would pay him.
It's only a problem when there is large enough majority of people that use the same network.

> Most of those responding aren't old enough to have experience of pre-web real books... [flagged]

You aren't old enough to have experienced the pre-printing-press real books. Nowadays they just print everything that comes to their filthy minds, regardless of the content or even position of the author in our society. Just a machine printing away inked paper. Oh, how I miss the good old days when you could feel the woodblock pressure immortalized against the pulp, that subtle off-white coloring; the tasteful thickness of it.
Does social status still matter when you reach a certain age?
Laws already helped to break large monopolies in the past.

At one point, the internet giants will probably be broken into several entities as they start to have detrimental effect on society, we are seeing the early stages with Zuckerberg's testimony in front of Congress for example.

It will probably happen by breaking down the various services provided by these giants (AWS/Amazon, gmail/search/youtube, etc).
This was strikingly on point, although I'm saddened it's mostly about the Internet, and only obliquely mentions the status games of office culture, wider adult culture, and pre-technology child's play.

One very, very uncomfortable feeling about the Internet is status-seeking, which is now omnipresent, feels a bit too good. I used to be able to socialize in places where I knew the interaction would lead nowhere -- acquire some status the time of the conversation, make people laugh, make people stay longer than they wanted, maybe buy me candy or silly things -- then leave and kinda calmly come down and sleep and forget about them. Nowadays it's all permeating everywhere and if I want to play the game it has to be "for real" spending a bit of time building up a persona, staying on a platform, knowing whatever happens may live forever on some server or the minds of the mostly random strangers I was trying to impress. The fun part happens a lot less fast, and in addition, you have to deal with it encroaching on your real life and the status games that actually matter much more. (For example, nosy interviewers who want my GitHub.)

There used to be, well, recreational status-seeking, and now, all recreation is status-seeking. You can't even go walk in a park without somebody almost having an accident trying to take a "unique" cellphone pic. I miss having "on" periods that are intense fun but temporary in nature and "off" alone calm periods no one sees. Please somebody turn off the social thingies and give me that world back.
Thanks, Mainline support is great. And like mentioned above, that there is mesa/panfrost for the gpu could very well mean that this time the driver situation will actually be quite good when the laptop comes out. I'm looking forward to see how it works out.
The controls themselves are standard Qt Quick Controls 2 items. We didn't need to invent anything new. However, we do have custom styling for each control (buttons, checkboxes etc). If you want a native desktop look'n'feel then you should use QtWidgets instead. In our case it was an explicit requirement to have a custom theme from our design team.

We have internal builds on Mac/Linux for our own use but its not useful to release it to our users as our Anticheat software is Windows-only. In other words, we can release a package for Mac/Linux for the Qt app itself, but not the Anticheat (without which players cannot join the game servers). For the internal builds, we generate .dmg using macdeployqt and .deb for Ubuntu.

QML and JS are used mostly for the UI interaction, all heavy lifting (populating models, user information, lobby statemachine etc) is done in C++.

As for Electron, I haven't personally used it for development so I cannot compare the development differences. There are obviously more libraries available for the JS/HTML world* but on the flip side using Qt/C++ has made it very easy to keep the app lightweight with just a ~1.5man dev team. Players must keep the app open alongwith the game so we need to be very conservative about resource consumption.

*But then, Qt adds support for some of them. The most recent example being QtLottie.

Engineer hat off, I wish that more popular desktop apps were made using dedicated tooling (Qt, .NET etc) instead of cramming a UI inside a browser engine just because its "easier".
I work at a company where most of our contracts are for larger enterprise businesses and, as a result, we have a training component to our launches.

As much as possible we try to bring a person from Product (dev + design + PM) to be involved in the launch project. The benefit here is that the product team gets direct access to the users. And they get "early access" to the challenges our customers face: in the early days of using a new product, the issues shine very bright compared to later when the users have found a suitable workaround. This has and will certainly continue to be essential to building empathy between the people who build the product and those who use it.
Not to rain on your parade with nicely formatted code like hardly any shell projects do, but what I would have expected for such a tool that I just want to use:

wget https://github/.../releases/.../stable/htrace.sh

Only gave it a quick look and saw the other comment asking for dependencies. if there are some, why not list them in the README.

I'm really not against installers, but falls under the "small handy tool" category and not "I will spend time automating the install, either it works or it doesn't"
So, can I easily host the server?

ZeroTier is great, but hosting the server is very complicated (I'm not going to stop using it now, since it's so easy and is already set, but it's good to know of alternatives).
The current MQB system isn't just used for VW Golf and Audi A3.

The system scales from small compact cars like the Audi A1 or the VW Polo to big family cars like the VW Touran or Skoda Superb or even SUVs like Skoda Kodiaq.

If their strategy works out, and they can introduce a system like that for EVs, they can start introducing multiple new models per year.

Is it possible to use cjdns for that kind of thing? I'm genuinely asking as I don't understand it.

Once I tried to set up a VPN using some odd Windows software (OpenVPN, maybe?) and the results were disastrous. I didn't understand any of the jargon the program used, and I think I didn't get what was its main use case (most certainly it wasn't what I was trying to do, that was creating a local subnet between two computers or two LANs).

Then some months later I tried ZeroTier and was able to understand everything, it seemed a perfect fit.

But still, people call ZeroTier a VPN. So why is it so different? And why does it use a jargon so different?
Do you have a source for that evidence? To me it seems hard to prove causation.

I think the single button with no screen is actually kind of a nice idea. you buy a few, put them in strategic places (sponge button by the sink, paper towel button by the paper towels, etc), and just hit the button when you're running low on something.

the main deal breaker with the current setup is that the price might shoot up unexpectedly, but this could be fixed with the ability to set a price limit when you configure the device (eg, don't spend more than $5 on a pack of paper towels).
