My group has been doing a similar thing - except that video quality has been to unreliable for some of the more detailed boards (Troyes, Power Grid). We needed the ability to pinch and zoom the board.

We’ve been using an app called iPhotoBot to take high res shots every few seconds. These get uploaded to Dropbox. Then there is a web server of a synced folder which builds a page of the images. Server-sent events are used to update the page.

It’s kind of clunky to set up, but I can share my code if anyone is interested. I’m also curious if there are better ways to stream high quality photos.
I've been very surprised, and I guess I shouldn't be, that so many folks are taking such a hard black or white stance on this. There's folks who've literally pushing ingestion of Chlorine Dioxide to eliminate coronavirus, or conflating HBOT with inhaling ozone to "clean" the lungs. I 100% believe that transparency and understanding when and why things are taken down can help, but there's a _lot_ of slippery-slope arguments being made that here that actually surprised me, when we're talking about actually trying to prevent people from spreading information that can actually lead other to harming themselves, rather than seeking treatment.
Show HN: Shepherd – Get inside intros to dev teams with great culture
Why don't you try to steel man the argument, instead of straw manning it?
Its talking about 500C and you definitely can cook one that fast at that temp.
Hi all, OP here.

We were interviewing developers for a project and kept hearing how much they hated looking for a new job. We dug into why and it was usually because they couldn't find companies with the culture and work environment they wanted. They either had to invest a ton of time into research or trust a recruiter.

Our tool is different because it matches you with companies who have the culture and work environment you want. And, it skips the black hole that is the modern job application by having companies pitch you.

Privacy is very important to us and we built this so that you have complete control of when you share your personal info. You can anonymously ask interested engineering teams questions before you share anything.

Feedback requested:
1. Would you use this?
2. What are we missing when it comes to culture and dev environment?
I'd be okay with everybody starting the mocking now.
If they had fun, they had fun, and it's great.

It's interesting that the Purple (surveillance) line are all listed as CMR since I was just looking up Seagate's Surveillance drives, which are apparently SMR.

Might grab me a couple of Purples as they're more available locally to me than Seagate's IronWolf CMR NAS drives.
I've never used that service, thanks for the advice! I would love to cancel my Zoom account if possible.

I have a group of friends that is doing the "IRL" board game setup that you mentioned. They have a tripod and like three devices for household. I'll see if I can get more info on how they have it working.
Nice! I think this is what I've been using on AWS Workspaces. It's not so bad.

In certain commercial mortgages, you have to maintain a certain debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), which is operating income divided by debt service.

If not maintained above a certain ratio, the lender has the right to come and take over your bank accounts and you have to submit to them to get reimbursed for expenses.

Never heard of it in a residential loan though.
Unless the end user is not technical, use a .py file and force them to subclass your Configuration class which has an __init_subclass__ method so you can enforce rules.

When you are ready to move to a more generic solution, your .config or .yml file can generate these.

The advantage here is both flexibility (it's Python) and control (allow/disallow whatever you want).

If you need nested items, use nested classes.

The borrower is sort of using logic, but because of his extreme level of entitlement he fails to understand his premises are flawed.

Low rates are a function of your total risk not your perceived status as a responsible borrower.

The lender is using logic(the refi equation was almost certainly devised and reviewed by a qualified actuary)
Most code doesn’t give you leverage against competitors. Building in-house for 100X the cost (or at 1% quality) of using an AWS component confers a competitive disadvantage unless you have lots of customers who pay a lot to do business with someone “not on amazon” but even then you probably shouldn’t be building it yourself. This is generally implied when people say “code is a liability”.

I'm not sure it doesn't, at least at some times for some people, given my own experiences with it.
Best advice I can give, as a manager, is self-discipline. It's a core tenant of what divides my good workers, from my standard workers.

Sure, learning Java, or C#, or Python is nice. But what really makes an effective worker to me is someone who has strategies for tackling problems, and I believe that the highest abstraction of that is self-discipline.

When you are tasked with a problem in the real word, whether it be enterprise, start-up, or side project, you will need to look at the problem wholly. You will need strategies for laying a path that you, and you alone can follow.

There's so much to writing software, but every developer wants to type. Do you have a good method for discovery? Understanding unfamiliar project landscapes, or code flows? Are you practicing reading code? If a manager gave you a project in a project you've never seen before, how do you know where to start?

Do you have a strategy for note taking? For flow charting as you discover? For documenting minutiae as you come across it during development? If you do, are you consistent? You need to be diligent and habitual in your process. If you present problems in a consistent manner to your manager, you will developer an easy means of communication, allowing you to solve things faster, and get what you need faster.

Are you consistent in your coding style? Are you implementing according to the problem, or according to whatever new tool you most recently discovered. That's engineering discipline.

I didn't really get there until I was in my late 20s, but it took some seriously trivial changes in my life to get started on that road. Like, I started making my bed every morning. Reading before bed, making a small breakfast, and coffee before work. Walking twice a day. Gym at lunch.

Having a schedule, being habitual, helps you get in the mind set of optimization. Optimizing your own processes will lead you to consistency, and sharpening your consistency will force you to be disciplined!

Wow, that sounds pretty cool though! I wonder if there are any video services that offer pinch-to-zoom.

An alternative would be to open a video chat in your browser. Then, on a Mac, you can zoom in with your touchpad. But I think zooming on the page in any browser should work, right?

Without giving what data away, exactly?

If for example I'm fully on amazon AWS for everything, DNS/DB/Web then no matter how encrypted your data is Amazon still has a very good idea of the effectiveness of your campaign. You can't hide the number of DNS queries. You can't hide the number of TCP SYNs. Hell, there is just a huge amount of things that encryption does not cover up, especially involving time for particular transactions to occur.

The fact that they are rendered as text provides a good rule of thumb for when they are appropriate :

1. Can you read your sentence without reading the emoji text and it makes sense?

2. Can you read your sentence with the emoji text and it still makes sense (and it means the same thing, with emphasis added)?

If the answer to both questions is YES, then using the emoji is OK.
Yeah, VASSAL is a good alternative to TTS! I left it out because I'm personally not into war games which feels like it's strength. But I would definitely be open to learning it and adding it to the article.
The biggest career lesson that I've had is that 80% of development is testing.

Should you apologize for bugs? No. But if you're doing professional quality work, (as opposed to prototyping or researching,) a large portion of your time (as a developer) should be writing automated tests (like unit tests) to test the code you write.
Look at VASSAL - it's primarily been used for wargaming but modules can be made with lots of different mechanics, and the more recent abilities to build automated rule behavior get better and better.
Just a nitpick, your mortgage isn't secured by the government. It's actually owned by the government, Fannie Mae. Your bank is just the middle man that services it. If your bank doesn't want to service it or the government don't think they are managing it correctly they will move it to another bank.

So I'm not surprised these banks don't want to touch jumbo loans right now. That debt is their risk. They can't wash their hands of it if it goes tits up.
Correct.

That said, the "WHO praised China!" meme is largely a deflection. Trump, talk radio, and Fox have been pushing it heavily in an attempt to blame others for the US's poor response.
Apple/Alphabet/Microsoft/Amazon are innovating?

Mostly they seem to be acquiring smaller companies that have come up with interesting ideas.

Apple, especially, appears to be churning out annual updates on a product line that is not changing at all (I'm not blaming them, they're making more money than god, but still).

And pivoting? I guess Alphabet's "it didn't go viral in the first two years so we're dropping it" strategy could be thought of as pivoting, but not really.
Awesome, thanks for the link! I'm working on an addendum to the article for game-specific sites. This is perfect.

WordPress has a publish button, post scheduling and revision history all out of the box with no plugins. That right there eliminates most of the need of IT in day to day publishing.
Considering how few people could read and how expensive books would have been, I would expect that those books would have been valuable cargo (as opposed to personal items) and not willingly released anyway.
They both screwed up, yes.

It's disingenuous to act like the WHO was the only folks doing this at the time, and it's being used to deflect blame - "blame China!" - from the administration.
I'm kinda surprised by all the hate on Monopoly.

It's a great game for learning. It teaches you to take risks early and slowly lower your risk tolerance over time to let your existing assets appreciate. It teaches you that the best values are at the extremes of real estate: you want to be either a luxury condo owner or a slum lord. It teaches you that capitalism isn't fair, because good strategy and hard work don't pay off if you don't get lucky. Come to think of it, maybe that last one is why HN doesn't like it. ;P
I moved away from Gnome to KDE for several years after Gnome 3 came out. Try as I might, I just couldn't get into other desktop environments (KDE, XFCE, LXDE, I tried quite a few). A few years ago I switched back to Mate and haven't considered leaving. It provides the functionality I need while staying out of my way, which is more or less the reason I can't move away from text editors despite their complete lack of coolness.

Isn't that the heart of the "meme"? I never thought it was "no difference" or "all wines are equal" but rather that you get out of it what you want.
TTS is a such a blast. I have a group of five friends who play Wingspan every week and the winner gets to flip the table. Such a satisfying experience! Also, secretly making your opponents pieces slightly bigger or smaller can be a fun way to stay occupied between turns.
I recently went to Naples and IMO the secret to just how amazing everything tastes there is the quality of produce.
I don't know whether you can even export it - I don't know whether that kind of quality travels.

On the Netflix show ugly delicious one of the chefs explain supposedly in Naples chefs will choose their mozzarella freshness by the hour (e.g. 6 hours or 12 hours) but to make "authentic" Neapolitan pizza with Neapolitan mozzarella you're not going to get Mozzarella fresher than 7 days old...
I'm not arguing that youtube is doing a good job, or that youtube's brand of corona-related censorship is in any way making a positive impact.

I'm arguing against the parent comment that essentially makes the argument that _all forms_ of censorship/moderation are bad and inherently lead to oppression.

If you instead want to argue that youtube's specific policies regarding coronavirus are bad/harmful/etc, go ahead, I won't stop you.
I love this, having seen it in operation so many times. Accountants promoted to senior managers whose only way of increasing profits is to trim the costs, reducing all flexibility and removing any resilience from the organisation. Good ideas for new stuff getting veto'd because they're "risky" (risky to the management bonus if they fail).
As someone who did a lot of moderation in the past, people forget any platform is more akin to a cafe, instead of a public square. A cafe has rules that keep a pleasant atmosphere. A public square has a public function and needs rules to allow for a broad discourse or protests. One could argue if there is a certain size where a platform like youtube becomes a public square. But on the whole its their room, their rules.
I haven't found anything yet, but if I do I'll add it to the article.
So true. Love the diversity.

They’re not wealthy by the standard of the Bay Area, which is the point of the comment you’re replying to. Wealth is relative. Otherwise you could say that just about any American middle class family is wealthy — just look at the entire world’s population, where anyone making over something like $40k a year would be in the top 1%.

Just to underscore the point, Palo Alto declares not too long ago that anyone making under $100k a year is considered “low income”.
(IMO / 2 cents) because as a software developer, you can create a huge amount of functionality in a short amount of time if you cut some corners. This just isn't the case, doesn't have nearly the fast return-on-investment that you get in other fields of engineering.

I mean in electrical engineering, idea-to-working-prototype involves a lot of design and assembly first. In structural engineering, you just can't build a bridge on your own. It goes on.

While in software development, I can cough up ten distinct features in a day if not more without forward design or testing.
Good call. I initially left it out because it felt too close to TTS. How does it compare?
A bit of a mix of the other comments, but I use a generic VPS (I use DO now, used to use EC2, but anything works) with my application wrapped in a Docker container with its port exposed. Nginx reverse proxy to pass from 80 to my container's port. After that is working, I use certbot and it automatically detects Nginx and offers to automatically set up TLS on 443 and redirect 80 -> 443 to ensure connections are coming through HTTPS. certbot is a god send.

Should I trust you, djsumdog, at all on this?

44 days ago you posted this garbage to HN:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22553177

That article downplayed the threat of the virus, equated it with the seasonal flu, and said it wasn't a real health emergency but an irrational panic.

"The coronavirus is quite simply, and almost exclusively, a moral panic."

I'll charitably assume that you posted that very wrong article in good faith. Perhaps you posted it but didn't agree with it, maybe you posted it to contradict it. It's hard to tell from your comment history.

I've been a harsh critic of Bill Gates and his company for two decades, but on pandemics he saw this coming years ago, and he's investing billions to fight it.

Time has proven Gates was right on this. I pay attention to people with a track record of getting it right.
That’s a reasonable general rule but it’s too easy to remember the short version “make games, not engines” and forget the underlying advice, which is more subtle.

Making a game engine first and then making a game second is a fools errand, even if your goal is to make the game engine. However, you can make the engine in parallel with the game. Making a purpose-built engine in parallel with a game can be very reasonable.

Having made a number of games with and without off-the-shelf engines, whether or not a custom engine makes sense depends heavily on the specifics of your team and the game you are making.
Just launched 108-point e-commerce conversion checklist. It's free for everyone

I've played more than a 100 hours of Stardew and I feel you're being overly generous. None of the systems are particularly complex (Civ has more complex interlocking systems), the mines and combat is relatively barebones (compared to something like Terraria) and the dialogue is above average, not the maximum that could be achieved (you could look at Divinity 2 to see dialogue done right).

What it does do well is an incredible level of polish in the production side of the game and giving the player a real and fulfilling sense of progression.
The way I've been doing mine is to preheat the oven as hot as it will get and with a baking steel on the rack second to the top. You could probably do something similar with the iron pan/plancha.

Then when it is as hot as it's going to get, slide the pizza on to the steel/pan/whatever and switch the oven to high broil. The heat from the baking steel cooks from the bottom and the broiler hits it from the top, delivering high heat on both sides.

I can get a pretty solid pizza in 5 minutes and there are lots of variations on this method (broil for a few min, switch to bake for the last few, etc) but you can play around with your oven and setup to get the best results.
