>Digger from 1983 is a Dig-Dug-Clone-but-Not that came out right as IBM PCs were starting to take off, and it’s a lovely little game

I used to play this a lot. But is it really a dig-dug (1982) clone? It looks closer to Mr. Do! (also 1982) to me.
They shouldn’t feed the homeless on a marquee holiday and then ignore the problem the other 364 days of the year; nor should they feel like feeding them directly does anything to address the underlying systemic issues that create or sustain the problem in the first place.

The main criticism of Thanksgiving charity is that it’s about making the privileged feel generous without solving any problems at all, and in fact blinds the privileged to any need to do more than they are on one day a year.
I'm curious, how do you know details about the operations of the seller for the listing? I couldn't find anything with a cursory Google search.
Multi vendor is even worse than described. I worked for one of the vendors. The incentives make you fight tooth and nail for suboptimal technical decisions that direct money to you rather than the other vendors.

We won the internal bid for a functionality module that ended up being a standalone service called by system X. Vendor X had lost that bid. They convinced the bank that it is absolutely necessary for us to expose a JDBC driver as an interface.

Their engineers were actually pretty cool and we agreed to implement something which made more sense. Unfortunately this decision was blocked. We ended up exposing a simple RPC API via a JDBC driver. I think it had over a thousand methods, almost all of them empty.
Venting it and flaring it have wildly different environmental impacts.
It’s also not solved by them, despite the warm glow they get from dishing out mashed potatoes once a year.

CNBC cites 2017 data from Costco:

In 2017, the most recent year Costco has data for, the average household income of the Costco member was $92,236.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/22/hooked-how-costco-turns-cust...

Regardless of your threshold for reliability, I would be much more interested in anything that demonstrates your claim that Costco is "a cross section of society from all income levels".
The primary reason is that LXD has an indisputably better overall security policy than Docker. They support isolated user namespaces (containers running with different userns mappings), user namespaces are the default, they make use of far more new kernel hardening features than Docker, and so on. If I'm going to self-host something at home and expose it to the internet, I'm simply not going to use Docker.

I used to run Docker containers several years ago, but I found them far more frustrating to manage. --restart policies were fairly hairy to make sure they actually worked properly, the whole "link" system in Docker is pretty frustrating to use, docker-compose has a laundry-list of problems, and so on. With LXD I have a fairly resilient setup that just requires a few proxy devices to link services together, and boot.autostart always works.

Personally, I also find it much simpler to manage a couple of services as full-distro containers. Having to maintain your own Dockerfiles to work around bugs (and missteps) in the "official library" Docker images also added a bunch of senseless headaches. I just have a few scripts that will auto-set up a new LXD container using my configuration -- so I can throw away and recreate any one of my LXD containers.

[Note: I do actually maintain runc -- which is the runtime underneath Docker -- and I've contributed to Docker a fair bit in the past. So all of the above is a bit more than just uneducated conjecture.]

There is a difference between "being able to hear" very low frequencies and a situation where the inner ear has been sensitized - in many cases through a continuous LFN immission that's slightly below the average hearing threshold. If the exposure is constant, the dampening mechanism that is managing the adaption of the cochlea to sound of various intensities can "wear out" on a cellular level and the ear is basically reverting back to it's original (= super sensitive) state. The process of sensitization can also be accelerated/caused through the presence of ototoxic substances like certain organic solvents, desinfectants or antibiotics. Persons with this type of cochlear damage will experience a tiny low-frequency tonal peak in an otherwise "normal" sound spectrum as almost painfully loud, booming (spread out in frequency) and/or as a pressure on the ear. This damage will not show up in standard hearing tests, in fact, pure-tone audiometry will show above-average results. Currently, only DPOAE testing could in theory reveal this type of (rather common) cochlear damage in a non-invasive way. Even though not totally understood, there is epidemiological evidence that this type of aural sensitization is connected with (read: the cause of) disrupted sleep, higher cortisol levels and thus a heightened risk of infections, cardiovascular disease. The lack of sleep frequently leads to depression and anxiety disorders. ... more here: https://biology.stackexchange.com/questions/30101/do-our-ear...

The article to which this letter is in response: https://archive.is/Rf4Yj
Blaming the user is a pernicious problem in UX engineering, especially when a feature is introduced not for the actual users, but the executives making the purchasing decisions.

MCAS was an economics driven decision by Boeing to be able to sell it as a "no cost" upgrade to existing 737 fleets. "You get all this and you don't need to retrain your people"

The entire concept of the 737 MAX was flawed, marketing an inherently unstable aircraft with a patched undocumented system to control that instability. Then, incredibly, making the safety indicators an optional extra was criminal.

The FAA is also liable for regulatory capture and handing over its responsibilities the actual organization it is supposed to be supervising.

Ultimately, it's an example of what happens when MBA execs, convinced that they can run "any business" take over from a rigourous engineering culture. The Harvard (and other) Business Schools have a lot to be blamed for.

> Of the books that I explored, Baby Rudin came the closest to this ideal. While many of the individual chapters contains long runs of mostly linear development, the interdependence of the chapters is complex, and apparently very carefully considered.

Naw! Take another pass through Baby Rudin!

Here is some help: With appropriate mild assumptions, a continuous, real value function on a compact set is uniformly continuous. For the finite dimensional space of interest, compact is the same as closed and bounded. That is the main content of the first chapters.

First Application: With uniform continuity, get to show that the Riemann and Riemann Stieltjes sums converge so that those integrals do exist.

Second Application: The uniform limit of a sequence of continuous functions is continuous. This was a question on my Analysis Ph.D. qualifying exam -- I got it! Thus a certain normed space is complete, that is, is a Banach space -- I'm not sure this remark is in the book.

The chapter(s) on sequences and series is used to define ln, sin, cosine so that can do Fourier series.

The exterior algebra is essentially separate.

That's the main stuff.

Don't take the Riemann integral very seriously: The good stuff is Lebesgue's integral (partitions the range instead of the domain) as in the first half of Rudin's Real and Complex Analysis. There also get to see Banach space, Hilbert space, von Neumann's novel proof of the Radon-Nikodym theorem (grown up version of the fundamental theorem of calculus and with astounding power) and the Fourier integral. I won't take off points if you don't read the second half.

Rudin's Functional Analysis -- get to see distributions.

Please don't post in the flamewar style to HN. Regardless of how strongly you feel and what good reasons you have for it (both are clear), it only makes this place worse and gives people more reasons to complain and post badly.

I recently picked up two products – one is La Cappicella Pasta, sold through PC which is made in Italy with Durham flour and ACE Bakery’s Non-GMO Baguette….and have had no symptoms or problems. I’ve heard it before that the preservatives and non-clumping additives etc are what can contribute to a lot of GI symptoms and I seem to be experiencing that. So pleased there are some products out there that don’t make those of us with problems like that experience pain when we eat!

I've sued Amazon (privately in arbitration) and I have friends who've sued them in court. Nothing wrong with suing to prevent infringement. It'll just get them to fix the problem, and you'll get nice money out of it if it's as clear cut as you say.

I very much doubt Amazon is rejecting DMCA notices, and suspect the story is more complicated than that. I've heard from many sellers that it's easy to file complaints, and I know many sellers who have gotten false complaints, which is also what you'd expect if it's super easy to file complaints.

From a legal standpoint, there is way more to cover with those services. All sorts of hoops (NDA, compliance, etc.) would have to be jumped through. At my current employer, those services not being on our property under our complete control makes our lawyers nervous; counterfeits of our product are an existential threat to us, and keeping tight control over the software and electrical implementation details is paramount. Any idea involving a third-party service hosting sensitive engineering data goes straight into the shitcan.

If you managed to address the legal and security concerns, you'd have to fight against decades of momentum and user entrenchment. Drive and Dropbox are rare; any customers or vendors that you're working with will probably have the headache of figuring out how to interface with these services instead of just applying their ~25 years of experience administering massively powerful Windows services. Power users have assimilated those 25 years of workflow into their very being, and all the added complexity of SMB/Windows shares and other related services are extremely powerful tools that help them ensure that the right people have access to what they need and no access to what they don't. In-house tools are written to integrate with the existing infrastructure, and nobody has enough knowledge or balls to attempt replacing them. Internal data sharing services are generally based on software which has been continuously improving for decades, and has best-in-class feature sets and support.

The points above are themes that I've encountered pretty much universally in every engineering firm that I've worked for or interfaced with.

People with passionate politics usually perceive Hacker News as favoring their enemies. This is a cognitive bias: the comments we dislike make a stronger impression than the comments we agree with, so it feels like the community is against us. In reality, it's a large community with a wide spectrum. The people with opposite politics notice the opposite comments and so have the opposite picture of HN. Here are some examples from what I assume is the opposite side to yours:

Sorry for bombarding you with ridiculously many links, but maybe that makes the point better.
youtube is not a tool - it's a platform, and increasingly more hostile towards content creators (and increasingly biased towards commercial content or clickbait content). Twitch is same as youtube basically, but slightly more content creator friendly.

Unity, scratch, blender, these are all programming related. They are not beginner friendly at all.

itch.io isn't a tool either, but a website for distributing. The content you find on there are good, but most are not made with something easy like the flash animations would've been. Game maker comes close, but it isn't well suited for animation.

There isn't, and hasn't been, a replacement for flash animation suite, which is such a great, easy to use, integrated tool of drawing, animation and timing with a relatively simple scripting model. Even amateurs are able to make interesting animations with it. I bet you can't say the same for any of the tools named above.
To be fair, that game is going places no AAA title in existence today will go. So it’s debatable that anyone visiting that archive will have experienced a contemporary, mainstream game that does the same themes. It even makes the most sense for Archive.org, because the Apple App Store would never allow that game.

While I personally find nudity and sex conquest games pretty stupid, and I recognize there are a lot of interesting boundary pushing indie titles out there, it does show how utterly dead games distribution and production has gotten if people find Leisure Suit Larry in Archive.org interesting enough to try.
I vividly remember following yugop.com (Yugo Nakamura’s Mono*crafts) in college around ~2000, waiting for more experiments to be posted. To me that was what the web was for, far reaching and experimental design. This article was a reminder of how absent that kind of design experimentation is now, even as businesses and applications have gotten more experimental.

Langewiesche is a terrific writer, but it does seem like the overwhelming majority of people in the business consider his take on the 737MAX to be misguided.

Reading his article, I got the impression that he has a certain idealised image of what a pilot should be like. One that I have also noticed quite a few people here on HN seem to be rather fond of.

Namely: that being a pilot should not just be someone's job, but their calling. To use a weird phrase I once saw here, they are supposed to be "fixed-wing enthusiasts".

There also seems to be a certain, somewhat outdated, concept of masculinity at play here. And, of course, combining these expectations with stereotypes of African and Asian companies (and people) initially led many to the conclusion that these pilots were either incompetent ("because of a lack of calories in early childhood" to quote one line of reasoning I saw (luckily not here)) or incapable of independent thinking. Never mind that at least one of the captains was trained in the US.

These ideas couldn't be farther from how the system is actually evolving, and how it should be: Flying needs to be boring. If your pilot has a chance to become a hero, the system has already failed. The goal must be a system of technology, institutions, curricula, etc. that makes it perfectly safe to trust any decent high school student to become a competent(-enough) pilot. Candidates with a sense for adventure should be screened out, because flying an airliner is dreadfully boring, and a volatile personality will soon find a way to make it more exciting (drinking, usually).

And planes should become more and more automated. Software and design errors tend to occur just once. Humans tend to make mistakes, even repeatedly, even with the best training. The 737MAX disaster is a terrible outlier that shouldn't obfuscate the fact that in the last 50 years or so, airline fatalities have dropped by an order of magnitude, even thought miles traveled have increased by a similar magnitude.

Combining the two: air travel today is 50 to 100x safer than it was in the golden age of piloting so many seem to glorify.
I would say the article actually supports the "automate everything" position. The author prevents future mistakes by adding more automation rather than less.
