To your point on social isolation and writing: Have you looked into one of those services that track SEO trends? I've found them useful to get a sense of what a specific niche of people are looking for. Think google trends but more targeted.
I wonder if this will get to Mitch McConnell, he'd be promoting the hell out of it (Three of his top five individual donors have ties to the Kentucky-based maker of Jack Daniel’s whiskey).
> Hint: if it were the latter, women and minorities would be over-represented rather than underrepresented in tech.

They often are. At Dropbox women made up over 23% of tech roles in 2018 while recruiters estimated that the Bay Area average is 19.2%. That's an overrepresentation of ~20%. At my current employer, last year 50% of engineering hires were women - 2.5x the industry wide representation (though that was an anomaly - it usually averages ~30%).

> And, no, comparing racial slurs on the job to diverse hiring is not apples-to-apples, it's apples-to-clan-hooded-racist. There is no way you can be making that comparison in good faith. But do continue tell me how racist slurs and diverse hiring committees are basically the same thing...

At this point you seem to be offended by the notion that one can even try to compare the impact of racial or gendered slurs or harassment with denying White and Asian men employment opportunities on the basis of their race and gender. There's really nothing to say except that people will compare these two things regardless of your objections, and some of them reach the conclusion that the former outweighs the latter.
Google didn't stop there. It ruined the internet even at protocols level. Google engineers didn't understand the beauty and simplicity of the original internet protocols, and were in a position to trace the evolution path of such algorithms without any of the elegance and equilibrium the original designers had. Now if you want to make an HTTP query you have to understand an incredible amount of details. Before that with adsense Google forced the web to evolve into a clickbait arena. Google is the worst thing that ever happened to the internet.
Obviously you're being downvoted by the libertarians here, but possibly also by people who think this isn't relevant to the discussion. To those folks: it absolutely is.

Employers are never going to get this right. Amazon specifically (and obviously they're not alone) is looking at a huge financial impact to "doing the right thing" here. Yes, we'd all want our employers to take this kind of safety seriously, and a few will, but most of them won't either because they don't care or because they're worried their competitors don't. Bezos isn't any different than anyone else here, really. Maybe someone will get to him to be kind, maybe they won't, but for employees that's just not something that's ever going to be a security guarantee.

Realistically, governments are the only entities capable of providing this kind of security in extremis. Employers, at best, get this right (due to competetive pressure) during steady state situations. When the world blows up, they can't help.
Very neat. Shameless plug: Things can get extremely minimal if you make the view frustum orthogonal and also use raymarching instead, then the geometry (SDF) is very concise to define... a lot of the math disappears and the code gets super short... like 140 chars short:

Not very practical for much of an engine of course, and also much slower than casting, but it makes it dead easy to understand by removing matrix transforms et al.
Basic state machines are useful for controlling flow between different menus/game screens - this "current mode" state exists across iterations of the game loop so you need some kind of data based state machine.

e.g. in say a jrpg you have "new game/continue" menu -> world map -> battles and character menu and back again.

Edit: oh I misunderstood you - you were asking about behaviour trees. I haven't used them for anything other than controlling game unit behaviour (although not necessarily just enemy ai - one other example is using them to combine a bunch of simple actions into one thing that the user can tell a unit to do - so like an attack move in an RTS is actually "loop (is enemy nearby? -> no -> move towards location -> yes -> attack (which is probably it's own behaviour tree))
Perfect is the enemy of the good, that's why people are obsessed with surgical masks and n95 masks. Simple homemade masks are good enough. Plus they prevent people from touching their own faces.

Right, I was assuming x and y were unsigned types at least as large as an integer. Tests for other types are different.
> The burden of sustained combat or psychologically-informed training can increase the propensity of people to kill, but it's not a natural psychological state.

I believe observational studies of pre-industrial people's contradict this notion. There was a somewhat recent book (10-12 years old) that aggregated many studies and favored a Hobbesian outlook on this subject. I cannot remember the author or book though. Written by a Dane or a German I think. The topic is still in some debate.

Regardless I specifically indicated that it is produced state not a natural one.

I think it would be very hard to deduce how much a lack of combat efectiveness is due to fear of killing vs. fear of being killed. As a sniper or artilleryman you may take your time to fire. As a frontline soldier the longer you aim the longer you expose yourself.
In my opinion, "the Feed" ruined the internet. The news feed, the Twitter feed, the Reddit feed, etc. The addictive nature of the Feed, and the tendency to reward dramatic or outrageous or ridiculous content leads to the herd mentality and mindless dogpiling that occurs on these platforms. And then, because expression is compressed into short form soundbites, pics and videos, the platforms actively inhibit constructive, complex discussion. This is one reason I like podcasts and why, for example, Joe Rogan has become popular. The demand for long form, complex discussion is higher than the supply the internet currently provides.
Business-targeted tools don't have this because they're intended for people used to conference calls on a telephone system.

Can someone explain what this will translate into in terms of the end-user experience? For one thing, authentication will be next to useless (at least to me) if my phone is still going to ring. So does that mean it's not going to ring for a spoofed number? Also, if it results in tons of voicemail then that's still going to be quite annoying. (How) is the actual end-user experience going to be addressed?
Outside the box... Oh thanks...

It is a lot less likely, but it can happen when you first download and then execute a script, too.

Disk read errors may prevent running the entire script or the script may run out of memory, disk space, or other resource limit such as the maximum number of open files or the maximum length of a file path.
Perfect is the enemy of the good. The point is to slow the spread, flatten the curve. Eliminating it is not an option. Shutting down all travel 100% is not an option.

Mandating everyone in airports, on planes, etc.. must be wearing a mask is 100% possible and would have slowed the spread. Don't have a mask? Here's some scissors, cut up a shirt in your luggage and make one.
Another thing would help a more vibrant app economy would be if more teams made high-quality apps that I want that I can pay a few dollars a year in exchange for no advertisements or tracking.
Yeah, it is a bit of a garden-path sentence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence).
From what I can tell from the investor docs, the overall loss was from exchange rates and tariffs from losing access to sharing Ford's factories and costs and the high capex to building a replacement factory and generally transitioning to a fully independent automaker.

Every shareholder report in the last couple years stated that their premium offerings are doing better than they expected and they're making more money than they expected given the capex.

Maybe to you, just like the INR is useless to you as a currency (because you don't live in India). Many people do use Bitcoin as currency, and transact with it every day.

Actually, it isn't. It makes it immeasurably stronger. You see, you just can't get around google. They've poisoned the well in so many ways that you just have to use their products or you will end up being cut out. Email is the best example of that. Google determines who can and who can't email and the best defense against that is to make the problem worse: use a gmail address.

Some monopolies are necessary, like utilities. But they need to be regulated.
Yeah, my intuition is that the person evaluating the behavior is misunderstanding it, and the person doing it could tell you if they were comfortable.

The idea of "hiding it" seems way too loaded, because it's usually in a context with an implicit value judgement.

I suspect that there are multiple factors of various importance going into every decision, and the observer is reducing, reprioritizing, and judging it against their own opinions.

Perhaps that book or some other source offers a more rigorous analysis.

We could alleviate that problem by standardizing glass containers, eg: have one or two standard soft drink containers. Same for wine bottles, milk jugs. Glass containers don't need to be re-melted. They can be washed and reused in a plant.
The History of Loneliness
I used to write about fashion, and the reason I took it seriously was because it was how people signalled their beliefs about power every morning when they got dressed. Luxury goods are just one very narrow dimension. The only question is what you perceive to represent power, and who you intend to signal that to.

Linux was a great example, where originally you could signal your technical skill by just having it installed at home. Today the equivalent would probably be having a functional language on your CV. It's a costly signal in that you need to make a non-trivial investment in learning it to be able to claim it. It also says that what you perceive to be power is esoteric knowledge with intelligence, and you are looking for people who meet that level. Signals are also tells.

What fashion companies did is recognized powerful people, and watched how they signalled to one another, and then sold that to everyone else, while flattering the powerful ones enough to adopt them. Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger made billions on that.

Luxury goods like say, a handbag or a BMW 3-Series, are things you can pay enough for to show that you have money, or in the latter case, credit. If you think money and credit represents power, you will signal that to other people who think the same. Some people think an Ivy education or an advanced degree is power, which it can be in political and finance circles, but not in say, car racing or sailing circles.

Facebook really was the original online luxury good, as it showed you believed in ivy schools, fame, technology, and gossip, but now it's the same as a hollowed out haute couture fashion house owned by a conglomerate that makes its money selling perfume in big box drug stores and airports.

Apple is a luxury company that sells tech, as their real product is privacy and a unified brand experience, and not selling users to advertisers like almost every other platform out there. I think they have risk under Cook's vision as he's just not sexy enough to carry the brand much further. You can see it with his whole push with old celebrities and wholesomeness, I think the lack of eros makes them vulnerable.

Twitter seems to be trying to upgrade its brand to a luxury product, with the opportunity to be a channel for infinite minor status upgrades beyond the blue check. If you can persuade hundreds of millions of people to put up with the character limit and whole culture of the place, it's like the indignity of economy class in airlines, where people will pay stupid amounts of money for small mercies.

Signalling is a rich enough metaphor to capture dynamics in pretty much any human endeavour. Such an interesting area.
> Search for "GM" and the Gmail homepage ranks prominently. Is Google pushing its own products on people? Well, yes, but not here. This is an example of a query refinement algorithm at work. Google is altering its results in recognition of the fact that many people who search "gm" subsequently search for "gmail."

I tried this and there are three news articles about General Motors, an infobox for General Motors, 4 search results for General Motors (their web page, another of their pages, a New York Times article about them, and the Wikipedia article about them), a box containing tweets from General Motors, two more news articles about General motors, and finally a link to GMail. Then the other "GMs" start, including GraphicsMagick for node.js. I think they did a pretty good job interpreting "GM" here, and I don't think the Internet is exactly ruined.

Regarding the people appearing to rage against Apple for dropping Android support, claiming how this move turns them away from Apple etc., that's how I've felt about Google since they took over YouTube and continued to gimp iPad support for years (like refusing to support the native picture-in-picture feature).
Where did the restaurants and the school get their food from? I know that means a great disruption, but I’m still not convinced that means a shortage.
@dalton I have a couple of quick questions, if you don't mind. It seems that YC appreciates science-based (aka deep tech) startups. However, some deep tech startups require much more than three months to develop a solid MVP (say, a year or more). In such cases, 1) would YC still be interested in funding such venture and 2) would it still make sense to participate in Demo Day (by the way, is it mandatory?) or it could be safely skipped for some alternative options when the time is right (e.g., warm introductions to relevant VC firms and potential customers)? Also, what is your current stance on solo founders?

Here's a quote I bet many here can appreciate:

`I would say if you have a project with a deadline today, quite often, that goes badly. That is, you’ll have reviews of the project, and people will say, “Yes, of course we’re going to make the deadline.” Then finally the deadline comes, and you don’t make the deadline, and you’ve failed.

This happens a lot, and if you ask people, “Why does that happen?” they often say, “It was because they wouldn’t listen to us about the problems with the project and all the things going wrong, and they kept saying it would work.”

If you turn it around and look at it from the guy running the project’s point of view, they’re thinking, “I might fail on this project. It might not make the deadline. What will my excuse be? I need a good excuse.”

Their favorite excuse is usually, “Everything was going fine until all of the sudden, something came out of left field. No one could have seen it coming. It’ll never happen again. It knocked us flat, but you don’t need to hold anybody accountable or prepare or change it in any way because this was a one-time event.”

In order to make that excuse work, you need everybody to say “It’s going fine” until all of a sudden, it doesn’t.`

Someone else already mentioned Godot, which I think is fantastic and a lot of fun for making 2d games. I have not tried to use it for 3d, I understand its new renderer is making it more competitive with more advanced engines.

edit: btw, I don't really agree with anything GP said. I just wanted to plug these two nice open source alternatives. I personally (as a casual hobbyist) did not really mesh with Unity or Unreal, for different reasons but I definitely understand what they offer to both beginners and serious businesses.
FTP doesn’t have redirect, so the original code wouldn’t have that test.

The writers who added handling of HTTP would only have added it if they had realized the HTTP library they used could do a redirect. Even if they did, they would have to have thought about redirecting to some specially crafted URL.
It's alright isn't it to get something done fast, until this huge amount of code that you will never understand bites you in the ass.

I'm secretly rewriting an API written in Prisma 1 into something lower level that actually allows me to write database queries, optimise what is going on, look into the simple underlying abstractions if things go wrong and essentially produce something I can reason about without just hoping nothing goes wrong under the hood.

Apollo codegen is what you want if you'd like your Typescript frontend to be consuming the API in a typesafe way.
