From Zero to Full-Stack JavaScript Developer – How to Teach Yourself to Code
I am a for-real founder of Mozilla so spare me. I poured 16 years into it, including a bunch of coding as well as recruiting key talent, managing, and strategic decision making. We restarted the browser market when conventional wisdom said it could not be done. This enabled us to restart web standards (WHATWG => HTML5, ECMA-262 new editions). We did that (not you, unless I know you from old days).

But Google is a monopoly now and has tied its browser to its other products to take over adjacent markets, or buy other companies that pioneered such markets. Mozilla depends on Google for most of its revenue, and on a declining (traffic) basis. Reality requires acknowledging my and others work on Mozilla but not dying on that nostalgic hill. Especially not with such arrant mismanagement as is going on there now.
Nobody forced SV companies to take that money, though. They knew what the deal was.

Shameless plug: I also made some games built with TypeScript/Phaser: https://xojoc.pw/games2d/

The code is on GitHub: https://github.com/xojoc/games2d

It's a PWA[1] too, so it can be installed on some OSes. I wrote about the experience here: https://xojoc.pw/blog/experience-pwa

> it is becoming increasingly apparent that non-technical solutions to climate change will necessarily include the elimination of those who metaphorically are holding a gun to humanity's head.

I beg your pardon?

Who exactly is holding a gun to humanity's head?

Are you thinking of entire populations or do you have specific individuals in mind?

And what does your plan look like?
My account can’t downvote on HN.

Some people say it gets unlocked after 500 karma, others say they can do it before then which makes me think a mod can activate it for an account.

It was ironic and surprising to see all these high karma accounts discuss a theoretical forum where users can’t downvote without discussing HN’s existing rules.

The question is how such a person is able to do research. If you weren't independently wealthy, how would you go about getting funding for a study of human subjects and have it covered by the oversight that it should entail, if you didn't already receive training to a satisfactory degree in an institution of higher learning? Not saying it's impossible, but it would be remarkable on its own.

Of course, once you have already become a popular writer, people start to assume that you are the real deal, without looking into it in detail. So you can fake it 'till you make it. But you'd have to fake it.
This is 1999 and popping "parachute jump for NHS" into Google yields many results and let's not forget the ADsense promoted ones as well.

So a known issue and one perpetuated still today for profit. But this is a pattern we see play out over and over again and alas without some media drama incident of say a charity parachutist landing on a child in a playground with fatalities - nothing will change. Heck - look at bigger issues like climate change and how long that's been known about and how long it drags out.

Which makes you wonder why governments who have departments for everything, lack one for common sense education as many sound messages get lost in the void of nothingness.
> Does that tell you anything about your unconscious biases?

No. Horoscopes are not real, while various biases are. Please stay out of the teaching profession!
>If you mean over IE11, that's probably a (dumb, unhealthy) Group Policy decision of your Enterprise as Edge has been the default browser in Windows 10 since launch.

LTSC/LTSB versions of Windows 10 (i.e. the ones that enterprises are supposed to use) don't have Edge and there's no way to install it. The same goes for Windows Server 2016 and 2019.
My expectation based on my childhood (I'm in my 40s) is that you would have at least some snowcover from early December through late March. Some winters were snowier than others, but you'd always find a hunk of ice somewhere. There was always 3-5 significant storms with more than 12" of snow. Now we get 1-2, and they typically melt within a week. In any case, the ground would be frozen solid.

I live about 150 miles north of NYC. Last weekend, I planted tulips that I forgot about in the fall, wearing shorts. The weather that we have here today is warmer than the ocean climate around NYC and Long Island was in the 80s when I was a little kid.
Really? I've always thought a CoC was for treating people like human beings, instead of attacking them in the issues.
> I find that the timing is actually worse

That's fine. Amazingly, these things are customizable to fit everyones needs. Thinking there is only one way to do it is silly, but apparently a number of developers things autocomplete can be done only one way.
I largely agree with your sentiment, except for this:

> put all the worlds knowledge at your fingertips?

I think this is a dream that has passed by. There's a lot of simplified knowledge now on the web, littered with ads, but we are far from having the worlds knowledge at our fingertips.

Instead we get a slow, controlled leak, of very noisy data, accompanied by as many ads as possible.

If you truly want access to the world's knowledge, you have to work for one of a handful of elite companies, pay an exorbitant amount for premium databases, or get it illegally via tools like scihub.
In some European countries people still tip for good service so that could still be factor (the dynamic between increase waiter attentiveness to high tipper). Hopefully, jobs "of that similar level" could pay a better wage in general.
Advertisers are just companies and people doing the advertising, and they're only trying to tell you about their product (which helps you in it's intended function).

Where did you get this requirement that they must help you with your entire shopping comparison? Why would they do that for free? It's your responsibility to learn about what you need and make the decision that's best for you.

Also there's plenty of marketing that does help, for example the entire field of content marketing where educational and informative content is posted with a minor sponsor mention.

>Humans are tool builders.

But they don't always build useful tools ! And more notably, useful tools don't necessarily become widespread, and widespread tools aren't necessarily useful

And of course widespread tooling is often not actually best-in-class

But so human advancement is not sufficient reasoning -- it's not uncommon that doing nothing at all is more optimal than doing the thing we did (eg the recent flight boarding article on frontpage, which described the common back-to-front, and front-to-back, load orders being worse than random load -- the optimal solution is quite convoluted)
If soil continues to accumulate in a healthy form, as it did on the Great Plains over millennia of grazing by bison herds, then yes.

Old growth forests often grow on rocky land, and have little long-term depth accumulation.

Source: hiking old growth forests over decades, and being a farmer.
The radius is often not known. Radius is found most easily with transiting exoplanets, which are easy to detect but also only visible if you're lined up along the plane of the exoplanet's orbit.

You can also possibly find it via imaging, but even then, since you can't directly resolve it better than a point light source, you're making assumptions about albedo that lead to a wide dispersion in possible radii. High resolution optical imaging would require a telescope roughly 1-2km in diameter. Pretty tough... and because of the glare of the star, would be nearly impossible to image with an interferometric (i.e. non-filled-aperture) telescope since the light gather power would be so low. However, astronomers are incredibly clever at pulling data out of tiny points of light, so there may be some way.
Are the completions legally owned by you the user? Or are they provided under license?
Users authenticate to access that API with their developer credentials.. username and password on infrastructure owned by Apple. There is no need for them to give out their signing keys.
If something as blatant as these colors was legitimately an inherent part of human psychology, how would it be that they were only discovered in the past decades? Wouldn't philosophers have noticed it thousands and thousands of years ago?
> If you choose poorly you can lose pretty quickly, but then you can just start the game over again if you want. But if you're like "wow, this is the furthest I've been, let's go for it this time!" or whatever, and you burned through the items that you earned during the course of the game, well you could just see if you get lucky and get farther, or you can spend money to get a bundle of items help ensure you survive a bit longer.

... actually, my assumption will be that you designed the game to require purchasing those items, and I won't even install it :)

It's not only that I have to believe you when you say they're not required, but even if i do, I have to believe you won't sneakily - or not so sneakily - change things in the next update.

It was bad enough when EA bought Popcap and my paid for Plants vs Zombies turned into some bullshit with IAPs.

> How does a game studio should earn money then?

I'll echo others: Charge money. Don't hide the actual cost behind a bevy of different and confusing currencies. Ads are attention vampires, and are not consumer friendly despite their innocuous appearances.

I'd also posit that in-game ads will not be sustainable long term. There's already a huge backlash against ads on web pages, I think that games are going to be close behind. Sites like this are only the start of that trend.

> How a game studio can make money with a F2P game?

Ask Epic games how they made money. Or don't ask, they've talked about it extensively. I'm not fond of the side effect of peer pressure against kids to get money, but the model is otherwise fairly sound.

> why a F2P with IAP and ads is not always a Bullshit game

Ads are bullshit. Gambling mechanics hidden as IAP are bullshit. Allowing individuals to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on a mobile game is bullshit. Avoid those, and you will avoid a lot of the worst blowback.
Necessary. Some people, especially in management think that something which works but does so by exploiting accidental interaction of the build environment is acceptable, and then the blame falls on the person who makes the unrelated change that breaks the trashy code, so the thing is cast as blame on the guy who changes things rather than opportunity to fix latent bugs.

It is a common attitude among non-programmers too and on people who think delivered fast matters the most.

In vim, you have to ask for autocomplete (^n).
The data collected is, as mentioned, used to analyze crashes. In case of an error, some information is collected, that can be explained as being justified: device unique ID, to know if an error happened on one device multiple times, IP address is collected in web server access logs, configuration of the app could mean a lot of things, i.e. resolution of the viewport, etc.

If the Privacy Policy contains no mention of sending images to the server and storing the images and/or text contents, then ... it's not happening.

States can make regulations, introduce carbon taxes, ban unsafe or unsustainable activity. When was the first international industry emissions reduction summit? How are they doing in comparison to the politicians? Exxon, Shell and BP knew all about the harm they did in the mid 20th century. So they buried it, briefed against it, greenwash us with irrelevant and insignificant adverts.

I indict the states, particularly the developed states, for not bringing forth regulation requiring environmental consideration, emissions reduction, sustainability with penalties encompassing delisting, huge fines and exec imprisonment. Companies are quite happy to drive everyone off a cliff for a little more gold. We've known that since the first days of the Dutch East India Company (VOC).
>At my college town the police were obsessive with writing jay walking tickets. Even if no one is around at all. They really took pride in fining broke college kids $300 for crossing the road.

And police in America wonder why people hate them so much.
The actual term used is "kompetent", and they talk about the general competency of the individual, and assume this correlates with their suitability as politicians. They then show that their measure of competency correlates positively with municipalities having better economy and better perceived service by the citizens. They also get more votes and things like that. The measure is basically if the person makes more than average within their peer group.

Make Marketing Your SaaS Easier
Thanks for taking the time to check it out! Feedback noted.
I will only stop tipping people working jobs that traditionally get tips when their employers pay them rates that will compensate for the missing tips.

I also tend to tip in cash, specifically so that the company isn't involved. A tip is between me and the people who served me.
I thought Window tax was what you have to pay on every PC you buy that you would then scrub and install Linux.
I still have SMS tied to Hangouts. I moved my phone number to Google Voice when I left the US years ago and kept it on there when I moved back. It's been migrated to hangouts, which is pretty much total garbage now.

I want to migrate my phone number to another service, but I also want to get off Android entirely at some point and want to find a service with a public API so I can eventually write Plasma Apps or a Matrix bridge. Are there any good VoIP providers I can pay for monthly that fit that bill?
Some older versions of BASIC did this as well, except false was -1.

I think internally it was represented as all 0 bits for true, all 1 bits for false.

To be pendantic, at least in terms of bash if's, ['s, and test's, I think 0 is true and non-0 is non-true though, no?
The Times kept saying they "obtained" the video, as if it was leaked to them by a confidential source. That's not the case. They found it, like many others, including Bellingcat, on a Telegram group. I'm glad they reported the video, but to make it seem like _they_ were the ones to find it first is misleading and grandstanding.
One way to think of this is as an experiment itself. That is, do your friends have an increase in happiness and life enjoyment having read the book? If so, it may be worth tolerating if only for the placebo effect.
Very little in biology reaches a high level of confidence, let alone in psychology.

There are other ways to allocate scare resources than giving it to the highest bidder (disproportionately the wealthy). Lotteries, first in line, etc.

There are other reasons they may be incentivized to use higher prices as the mechanism to decrease crowding, but it is definitely not the only way.

I don't think SV supports constraining housing supply in California. Quite the opposite. Its workforce is stuck coughing up their paychecks to their landlords.
> Yet we’re supposed to believe that we can do even better through different methods, and become even more successful than Apple and Amazon etc.

This is a prime example of why diversity training is needed. People are deeply biased in regards to seeing something successful and then thinking that is the formula to success. It's textbook survivorship bias. Furthermore, it completely misses the material basis for why these companies would have such hiring patterns: there were higher rates of asian and white college-educated men in CS, but, as hiring pools change, so do hiring patterns.

There isn't some innate ability to found software companies in white or asian men.

The Display of the Future Might Be in Your Contact Lens
It's possible, and it's possible to avoid losing source code, and its.possible to have valid backups, and keep your servers decemtly secure... yet it's sufficiently common (especially as the program ages) that its not trivially attributed to competency; rather you need continuous, unfailing competency, in the face of continuous environmental change (local changes, within the business, and external changes, as business needs change, and mergers occur, and people quit/fired, etc)
Hmm, at what point do all the trailers for other shows tip in to the advert category?

I wouldn't want to try counting how many times I heard a trailer about 13 Minutes to the Moon last year, which I'm picking on specifically because I actually enjoyed it to make the point that the bucket choice can be very subjective.
I like how "script"[1] works - you can write really simple interactive software and let script do the autocomplete and reverse lookup for you. Rob Pike even uses it in some of his presentations.

You can host it for free with Github pages/Netlify and a static site generator such as Hugo or 11ty (https://www.11ty.dev/).

Plus, the initial setup takes just a few minutes. Iterating with these tools is fairly easy, although 11ty would be my preference due to its simplicity.
This is why using safe languages is important. Even frequent users of C and C++ end up making mistakes that are difficult to track down.
In many states, the minimum wage for many traditionally tipped positions (particularly in food service) is substantially lower than the minimum wage for everyone else.

> unless someone was wrong with the service, 18-20% is really the minimum.

This. My default tip is 20%. If the staff did more than an average job, I'll go to 25% or more.
Yes, the foundation depth varies based on the frost line [1]. Also in warmer areas, termites can be a problem and foundations will be designed to prevent termites from getting in.

Well, some/many Japanese believe that blood type determines a lot about your personality, and Americans believe in Myers-Briggs types, and I'm sure there are local equivalents everywhere else too, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
How to Build a Twitter Text-Generating AI Bot with GPT-2
I would add this: whatever you decide to do to the running binary, create a mock binary on another computer and try the exact sequence of commands/steps first. And verify that it doesn't disturb the mock.

This should reduce risk a bit because you are not experimenting and creating your procedure on the fly when you do the actual thing. Instead, you are applying a procedure that you have rehearsed, and you have gained partial confidence that it won't disturb a similar running binary.

The mock doesn't have to be a perfect reproduction of the real binary, but it should do similar things where relevant. For example, if the service listens on a TCP port, so should the mock. You might not have to code the mock from scratch; maybe some existing software is similar enough. Or maybe you can even run a non-production copy of your real binary, if you are really confident you can configure it to not interact with anything it shouldn't.
Ask HN: Web development environments like native?
I am looking for a web development environment/language/framework that gets as close as possible to the speed, productivity, and uniformity as native development in for example iOS. I find that I have limited time to work on side projects, and I would be much faster (and enjoy it much more) if I didn’t have to slog through the mud that is modern front end web development. There must exist some stack with a relatively decent language, UI framework, and build system, but I haven’t been able to find it or put it together.

Recently I tried Vue/Nuxt, but it lacks good Typescript (or other good language) support and lacks a UI framework (they exist, but they are ugly and/or huge). I’ve tried some other stacks but they generate massive file size which is unacceptable especially if you wish to serve mobile users.

Thanks!
