Hi, sorry for the rapid-fire on these articles ^-^;;

I'm trying to build out the site to debut it on an upcoming AMA, as right now it's quite new. By October, new articles will proceed at a more reasonable pace.

I do greatly appreciate the attention here, however! I was afraid with it being a new domain with no links, the content would end up not being found by anyone. HN has helped me tremendously, and for that I am very grateful. It's been a real privilege to have so many people reading and caring about this little niche of mine.

Thank you all very much!
And filtering based on location, which affects the salary as well.
Exactly! Well put.
What’s far easier is writing your code, manually doing some QA tests, and then writing automated tests that mimic those situations, specifically for the code you wrote.

This is the most popular method of doing things in my experience and the reason for that seems to be it makes chronological sense to a human brain. It’s very unnatural for people (including clever devs) to consider a project like manufacturing a car and starting with ‘the tire pressure should be correct’. Also too often (wrongly or rightly) prototypes often don’t have tests and that sets the tone quite early. Automated tests should be written ASAP no matter which methodology is used.

As I have more and more experience in the software development field, the more I think it is not engineering, but rather art. At least it's a creative process, not always an exact science.
This tech will really make a big impact for AR stuff. You can precisely track objects in relation to your phone camera.
I assume what is referred to is rather of the "we have built all this internal tooling, release pipelines and processes, internal know-how
even among non-developers" etc that any technology choice is accompanied by. These effectively lock you in and costs real money to replace.
This will really help a a lot in tracking things real time for AR apps
He didn't publish fact. He published opinion.

The context of that opinion is highly relevant and not qualified in the article or a bio.

His insta page listed in the bio however gives an insight into his experience.

So yes, I feel perfectly content to raise his lack of experience.

I'm fed up of noise posing as insight.
This article is ultimately a bit philosophically underwhelming because it doesn't delve deeper into the notions of "fact" and "fiction" and how (according to many philosophers, at least) they are ultimately messy linguistic concepts. There are many things considered facts which are really little more than fictions which have been accepted society-wide. Indeed the existence of a coherent continuing society seems almost dependent on a shared semi-fictional narrative. Jorge Luis Borges' Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius is a fantastic short story on this idea. [1]

Very young children “can rationally deal with the make-believe aspects of stories,” distinguishing the actual, the possible, and the fantastical with sophistication, as Denis Dutton has written in The Art Instinct. “Not only does the artistic structure of stories speak to Darwinian sources: so does the intense pleasure taken in their universal themes of love, death, adventure, family conflict, justice, and overcoming adversity.”

An alternative view would be that children haven't been indoctrinated, for lack of a better word, into the socio-linguistic world of adults, which has privileged some fictions and relegated others.

The best 'more recent example' that I can think of is that even 50-75 years later there is still a continuous struggle to get basics such as healthcare sorted out in such a way that the outcome of the lottery does not immediately mean bankruptcy for those lower on the totempole. If unions were to be massively disbanded you'd be back to square one in a heartbeat.

It's a bit like marketing: if you stop doing it your marketshare will dwindle, even if you're top dog.
> It's really bad when doing anything that requires exploration and research

I wouldn't say that, I have an counterexample ([1]):
It is clear what the refactoring (that is to be implemented) should do and how to state that ([2]), but it usually requires exploration and research how to work with the AST and which methods to use.

I would even say that TDD is awesome for exploring, researching, for getting a feeling of the problem's context, what to do and what the caveats are, as long as neither of that is required for stating the test itself.

Having tests first, you can simply start the debugger, try things out and with hot reloading you can write the code while running the specific test that you want to concentrate on.
Visualization tools like [3] can greatly help exploring how to solve and implement the current test while you debug it.

Yes, it's a tabloid style account so it lists the accomplishments that are more readily recognisable to a wider readership.
I, for one, really like the idea of a single .zip file per game. Then you can include the unmodified ROM, a separate file with configuration data, any necessary firmware, box art, and any other information an emulator might want. And it saves a little space to!

Also, if two different emulators want two different configuration formats, you could just include both! (As long as the file names aren't the same.)

Indeed, the sharing of information and knowledge obtainment has scaled. What are the traditional metrics of impact of a brick-and-mortar course? Is it just grades? Or is it deeper: students who go on to use the knowledge gained to find new ideas, new careers, etc? Reaching order(s) of magnitude more students probably means more of the latter effect/metric. For something like academics, I would think that the more people who have been exposed to useful information and peers interested in these ideas the better.

@turadg recounts how Coursera created statistics for partners: """The completion “rate” does not matter because the denominator is a very noisy signal. It’s a count of enrollments and what does “enrollment” signal in an online course, when it takes two clicks from a tweet."""

The maximum power of the car is not relevant to range. A Tesla uses between 200 and 300 Watt-hours per mile if I recall correctly. A Watt-hour (Whr) is a one watt load used for an hour. If it takes you 5 hours to deplete your battery, a 50W load for 5 hours will use 250 Whr. You will lose 1 mile of range because of it.

When doing motor control work and dyno testing, one of the challenges is measurement of mechanical power (and even electrical) because you need to measure up to -200kW but you care about differences of 10s of Watts.
TDD is just another tool. I don't use it all that often but there are some situations where I know it works. I have for example found it very helpful in verifying and later addressing issues in larger codebases. There are other approaches but they often make the root cause or causes of an issue harder to locate. I really hope the author reevaluates TDD as I think they're doing themselves a massive disservice.
Yes, as cmroanirgo notes, they're renowned for this, and sometimes it can be quite amazing to 'spot the poo' after you've left some object out for only a day or two. I see them regularly on 50mm wide poly (irrigation) pipe - the accuracy of placement is astounding.

Wombats are territorial, and very regular in their nightly movements. The cubic poo may be in part a simple consequence of their body shape (squat, narrow, long - evolved to wiggle into tight holes leaving only their impenetrable back plate exposed to would-be predators through the day), or, as you observe, assisting in perching scat with less risk of it being moved.

As I understand it, the extra height allows for other animals to more easily detect (by smell, I'm guessing, but may be visual as well) their presence in the area - presumably with the intent that those other animals keep away.
How do we learn about all their tools? (I'm still salty about Google Sets)
One difference - I think that guy essentially forces his signal on the various data lines instead of having a proper NES "communication layer", which is why it's a bit glitchy
But a platform gets creates if there is a reason to pick the language in the first place, usualy by curious people with time. Nobody in production would choose a new language, sure, that comes later.
I'm not much for electronics. Can you explain how playing the stereo affects mileage?
Not directly from my reading; but it was a very windy day so it was contributing quite a lot, so when it failed it made a bigger impact than normal. They also take about sources that provide 'inertia' - and I don't understand if a wind farm counts or not; I don't think it does
>The "housing crunch" is a very general term; the specific symptom addressed by this bill is drastic increases of rent on

Right ... except the bill aggravates the "housing crunch". Again, you're trying to solve a small problem by magnifying the major cause of the problem you're trying to solve.

Your linked articled quotes an economists who says this will hurt people who "are upwardly mobile, striving families who are middle-income or lower-income in Irvine, who can’t afford to buy a house but where renting might be in their reach,", because:

1) "landlords who might have held rents for existing tenants at below-market rates with the knowledge they could increase them at any time might decide to hike rents every year."

2) "restrictions on rent hikes encourage owners to convert their apartments into condominiums, which removes properties from rental stock"

So, this policy makes rent broadly more expensive, and it lowers housing supply - which makes rent more expensive. Come on man.

What if you California introduced legislation that targeted the underlying cause of the rent spike ... i.e. the 'housing crunch'. This way, you can solve both problems, the housing crunch and rental spikes.
> What is the result of "badger"+2

The same result as `convert_to_number("badger") + convert_to_number(2)`. In Z it seems that converting an invalid string to number yields NaN, so "badger" + 2 returns NaN.

> There is a good reason to not define it because it is not associative: in JavaScript 2+2+"x" != 2+(2+"x")

The problem with + not being associative in JavaScript is because it's actually two different operators: String concatenation and number addition. Z doesn't have this problem because + is only number addition.

Personally I prefer strong typing (and thus `string + number` throwing an error and/or being a compile-time error), but it seems like the way Z does coercing is very sensible and doesn't have the same issues as JavaScript.
I can't think of any situations where self-benefit, when not justified by claims it will make you more able to function as a worker or 'contribute to society' (aka an employer), isn't laced with implications of inherent immorality, assumptions of damaging health, etc. If food is delicious, it must be unhealthy. If an innovation makes things easier, it must be dangerous. If something is fun, it is probably addictive. If something is addictive, it is inherently immoral and bad. If you pursue pleasure, you are self-destructive.

Yes, if you take up exercise and yoga and healthy eating, that could be seen as 'benefitting yourself'.... but it is OK only because those things are cloaked suffering. They're things you don't want to do, they cause pain or discomfort and involve avoiding doing the things you would prefer to do.

I am open to a counterpoint. I might just not be thinking of something where doing something pleasurable because you care for it for your own benefit is seen as a positive, something a mother would love to hear her child is pursuing, something that would be met with people at a party saying 'good for you!' that is, at the bottom of it, just fun.

> Was that the problem? One level of abstraction?

No, that's not the problem.

Take this sentence from your last comment, for example:

> You don't have to research Stallman for long to encounter a whole bunch of people (women) who feel the misgonistic air around him actively drove them away from engaging in fsf style open source.

You're being deliberately vague.

You don't say "Stallman is a misogynist" or "Stallman drove women away from contributing to fsf..."

Instead, you say there are people who "feel" that a misogynistic "air around him" drove them away.

Do you not see how that's a problem?

What if I were to claim that people "feel" a "misogynistic air" around you is driving people away from Hacker News?

That could be true, it could be false. Difficult to disprove.

But more importantly, it might not be your fault.

What you're doing is being deliberately vague to get away with blaming/accusing someone of something you wouldn't be able to get away with accusing them of directly.

It's the equivalent of asking "why was that young girl out alone so late at night anyway?" when discussing a sexual assault case.

Stallman may be a very bad man. Maybe he is a misogynist. Maybe he drove women away from working on FSF.

If so, accuse him of it. Don't hide behind waffle and doublespeak.

Show HN: Learn and Build Apps and Games on Web3
Web3(Blockchains & p2p stuff) is a relatively new space today, so it's hard to learn and build on Web3.
It's hard to

- find resources that help you understand the concepts.

- find examples/apps/tutorials that actually work. Most of them are broken as the projects introduce breaking changes, thus examples break.
Plus the ones that work don't have many details on how the example works.

SimpleAsWater[0], a YC SUS19 Startup:

- Gives you Interactive Guides that help you understand the concepts like you are 10.

- Has a ton of tutorials that help you build Apps and Games on Web3.

Right now, the website has Guide for InterPlanetary File System or IPFS[1], and I'm working on Guides for other Platforms like

- Libp2p[2]

- Multiformats[3]

- InterPlanetary Linked Data[4]

- Filecoin[5]

- IPFS Cluster[6]

- State Channels & Side Chains[7]

If you want to get a SimpleAsWater guide(pun intended) for your project, let me know here[8].

I very much agree. My vision was a ZIP file that when selected in an emulator, could be extracted for instant access, and any save RAM, cheat codes, save states, etc could be stored alongside the game in said folder. It would be bundled with an extensible markup description of the board, and optional pack-in content like box art and user manuals. For games stored on flash memory that could write to themselves (BS Memory, Neo Geo Pocket), this would also prevent the archived, pristene copy from being damaged. The folder would then act like a physical cartridge, and all your game saves would move along with it.

I wrote about my idea here: https://higan.byuu.org/game-paks

It ... was not a popular idea, to put it mildly. I further shot myself in the foot by trying to force the idea on people. You will never win people over with an approach like that.

Let's avoid mentioning names for obvious reasons, but unfortunately those most capable of adopting and promoting such a format through their database effort are unwilling to use ZIP archives in this way. They will only allow for an uncompressed single-file-per-game approach.

As mentioned in my article, this turns into quite the problem. When you take the 8KB program ROM for Galaxian, and append a character ROM for graphics onto it, but your header can only tell you the size of the program ROM in 16KB increments, it means there's no way of specifying where the program ROM ends, and the character ROM begins. Any emulator that supports Galaxian does it via game-specific workarounds like checksum identification.
