and it's not because of piracy. It's because these games _do_ absolutely bring in more money, due to the way it's designed to fuel addiction.

There's plenty of games in the indie games market that are original and fresh. But the unfortunate outcome of those games is that they don't bring in as much money, and so any failure dooms the indie developer.

Years ago I chuckled to myself when I selected Admiral from a dropdown when buying tickets for a gig.

Tickets arrived fine, went to gig, etc.

But the events company must have sold my data in a big way, because for years later my parents continued to get all sorts of junk mail to the admiral of the house.
The author's pie chart showing data science to be 60% data manipulation is accurate. The biggest gap between good and bad data scientist is their comfort level with data wrangling. When interviewing candidates for data science positions, one of the simplest questions is to have them sort a 1 GB tab-delimited file.

1. Poor candidates will try to open the file in Excel.

2a. Marginal candidates will use R or Stata.

2b. Okay candidates will use a scripting language like Python.

3. Good candidates will use Unix sort.

To my knowledge, there are no university courses teaching the Unix toolchain and it remains very much a skill learned through practice.
> What would be the other plausible explanation though?

Other plausible? However "Aliens" isn't the plausible explanation at all. The series' producer has a very specific agenda: to train the viewers to not believe the science (1) in his own words:

"It’s really a show about looking for God. Science would have you believe we are the result of nothing more than a chance assemblage of matter. The real truth is we don’t know."

Whereas in fact, science is also very much about knowing exactly what we don't know and where the limits of our knowledge are. Some people find that unsatisfying, compared to the wrong answers but giving assuring "certainty."

It particularly catches the people who won't attempt to analyze what is actually claimed there. 082349872349872 here (2) comments about how the claims in the series are constructed. I'd say "required reading" only to study how the underlying untrue "message" is packed in the series of non-sequitur claims, effectively navigating in the direction opposite of logic.

Ask HN: Side project went viral, now Google is charging me $1k. Help?
About two years ago I hacked together a side project (https://bennettfeely.com/antiweather) that compares the weather at your location and the exact opposite point on Earth.

It uses the (affordable) Dark Sky API to get the weather forecast at two antipodes and Google's Reverse Geocoding API to simply get the geographic name of a coordinate.

The project was live then but never received much traffic until it was posted on /r/InternetIsBeautiful yesterday.

Now I see I am being charged a little over $1,000 from Google for using their API.

I wish I kept a closer eye on the fact Google jacked up the price of their APIs since I released Antiweather two years ago.

Maybe someone can help me understand why it costs 50x more to simply get the name of a location (Google) than it does to get detailed weather conditions and forecast for any point on Earth (Dark Sky).

I don't feel much hope of finding a way around this surprise bill but I am posting here for any advice at all. Is there any chance at forgiveness for a recent college grad whose side project unintentionally went viral, anyone to contact?
Hi there. Nice work. I've been tinkering with wrapping a bash script around the serverless and aws CLI tools. Out of curiosity, does this do anything that serverless doesn't?

I fully appreciate that "intellectual curiosity" is a fully valid reason for creating something like this :)
Rolling something yourself has the benefit that you don't need to teach yourself how the system works because you built it but once you want someone else to join the team this fires back because that person needs to be taught how your database works. If the database in question was widely used then spending time on learning a new database would be worth the investment but if it is only used internally then it's just a waste of time.

You can't. Because first they don't have monopoly on anything. Making the argument that only Disney can make Star Wars would be like arguing that only Tom Hanks can be Tom Hanks.

Second, even if you could prove they are a monopoly 'to big' you would still need to prove that there is actual harm to consumers. If the Disney streaming service is reasonably priced its not clear how you would prove that.

What would really make far more sense is simply to reduce Copyright laws back to former levels so that things get to be public domain.

This looks very similar to our Moonshot open-science initiative and we love the idea of using crowdsourcing when such diseases lack commercial funding. If you know the folks who are organising this we'd be very happy to discuss with them.
I think it's possible that two people can want high-quality discussion and disagree with what high quality discussion is. On the other hand, it seems that insulting generalisations about huge swathes of people with whom you disagree is very cheap and easy, but it's there as the conclusion to a post apparently wanting high-quality discussion. Any place that wanted to focus on high quality discussion should probably try to avoid that or else become the murky waters of insults or groupthink, but then we seem to be stuck in recursion.

(It seems that in a high quality forum, a person on the right should only be able to make generalisations about people on the right, and a person on the left should only be able to make generalisations about people on the left, unless the post has been moderated and approved as high quality. Not that such terms hold much content in any case, and they're far better avoided entirely. It is trivial to be a racist, misogynist, anti-glbt, protectionist, anti-business, anti-monarchist, anti-"their religion" communist.)

So to be clear, numpy gives you a highly optimised matrix multiplication algorithm, and your FORTRAN solution was just something you threw together yourself, right? Little surprise that numpy roundly outperforms it, especially if it's using a different algorithm, such as Strassen rather than naive matrix multiplication. [0]

> every single way I tried had "gotchas" and utterly astonishing behaviour in it

As someone who doesn't know much about Rust (or FORTRAN for that matter), what kinds of gotchas? I'd expect numeric code like this to be quite straightforward, as it presumably doesn't lean heavily on memory-management cleverness in the language, or anything like that.

It feels like they have distinct sweet spots.

Markdown is good if you want simplicity that lets you do headings, emphasis and bold, and gets out of your way. I write fiction in Markdown.

AsciiDoc is good if you want structured documents. I would use it to write a technical manual.
I personally think the real reason those types of tools seem less common and popular today is that people remember for example the reputation that Visual Basic programmers got (by the way, I was one). Basically, any really convenient RAD/GUI tool has an association with beginner programmers or even users. The last thing programmers want to be identified with is a user.

Programming is manipulating cryptic colorful text. That sadly seems to be the definition we are stuck with. You start to get into anything that involves drag & drop, you are inviting other programmers to assume you are not good enough with cryptic text.

Its just a stupid psychological thing. And I think it holds back software engineering.

>Inaction can be as devastating as action.

It can be but rarely is.

In the case racism, it isn't. Sitting in my house doing nothing isn't as bad as attacking blacklivesmatter protesters.

The call against inaction is an exaggeration to shame people into action for their side. It's the "if you aren't with us, you're against us" repackaged for the woke.
This runs both ways though. At the same time though we should be mindful of our actions and words, as much as possible. If there is a way of saying something that would not be perceived as a dog whistle, then choose those words. This is hard though because our own experiences mean we might not always see right away what is offensive to others, but we should try.
'Who they are' is scammers, it's not relevant that some of them are Indian.

My point is that it's the same because the 'personal opinion/attitude towards certain people' is that all of them are Indian.

It's as racist as saying 'I'm sick of these Poles taking our jobs'. The truthful existence of Polish economic migration doesn't make it not a racist attitude.

Hmm, does 4 engines really add to survivability? Looking at recent-ish cases like the 777(?) the Russians shot down over Ukraine or the case in Iran a few years ago, after being hit they go down pretty solidly whether they have 2 or 20 engines.

I guess the one case where 4 engines might be useful is if somebody sneaks up with an IR-guided manpad near an airport. Such a small missile might just take out an engine without breaking up the entire plane.

Then again, in a war if you're operating AF1 anywhere close where hostile missiles are a concern, you're doing something wrong.
"The big shareholders of the venture—Arm and Hopu Investment Management Co.—voted to remove its chief executive officer, Allen Wu; under conventional theories of corporate governance, the shareholders get to do that.

But Wu refused to go, and he had some powerful corporate governance theory on his side too.

Specifically, in China, the legal representative of a company (Wu) controls the company seal, which is required to endorse corporate documents like, you know, the ones firing him.

So as long as he hangs on to the seal they can’t get rid of him. "
Not everyone is a free speech absolutist who sees it as the most fundamental value. There are plenty of things we as a society decided we should ban to protect people. Can you have the opinion that it's ok to kill people? Would society be better with that kind of diversity of opinions? At one point society has chosen that people are equal no matter their physical attributes, and that society would be better with it. Free speech can come second to that, I don't see the problem.

Are they? What's the statement?
Yes, but would more engines have helped in that case? If that problem stopped both engines, chances are the same problem would have stopped all 4 engines on a 4 engine plane as well.

So you'd need to look at cases where independent failures cause both engines on a twin engine plane to fail. I'd guess those are quite rare.

I wonder if thermonuclear would be a cheap method to break up valuable asteroids into safer sized chunks to be routed into an orbit around Earth where they could be further processed or even decelerated before being crashed into remote areas where they could be conventionally mined.

In my experience the real meat of data manipulation/wrangling is in extracting statistical value from the data. If the data is noisy, what aggregations and what filters produce the best signal without smudging the underlying statistical properties?

While this is a good skill to have and is a good sign of efficiency, for me the deal breaker is how well the purpose of data transformations is understood and the care to which statistical value is extracted and tested.
