Let’s keep it simple. Does any store allow goods to be sold without a markup for them to make a profit? When I walk into Walmart, how many of the items have a price labeled from the factory? Has any retailer of digital goods ever sold at cost? Does Epic charge a markup for their digital goods or do they sell at cost? Can I buy virtual goods for use in Fortnite and avoid the “Epic tax”?
Anyone here still cares about COVID-19? That's probably the most overhyped disease of all the time.

It's weird to admit you believe that something is occurring based on analysis of the situation, but to still demand an explicit single quoted admission of unsavory behavior. That standard seems almost tailor-made to make it impossible to react to harmful behavior, or to perform any sort of nuanced analysis that can't be encapsulated into a single quote on HN.
According to your story, the prediction didn't affect the outcome.
most rooted Android devices can do something like this with the USB Mountr app (available on F-Droid). unfortunately, most kernels only provide mass storage device support, not optical drive, but it's usually good enough.

I use Unity's Blender integration extensively. It just invokes blender's CLI to convert .blend -> .fbx for you automatically, which is nice.

However, only very simple material properties are imported. Multi-textured objects, materials with specific BSDF properties, etc. are basically ignored entirely and you have to manually reproduce them in Unity after the fact. It's very annoying.
The rules of grammar aren't gospel. Writing was meant to approximate spoken language and when spoken language changes you would expect written language to change too. Grammar rules are a lagging indicator of accepted speech.

I enjoyed the article and didn't think it fixated on anything, really. It described an artistic style that is based on the cultural experience of a particular group and has values consistent with that group. By your reading we should criticise Dante's inferno for being fixated on guilt, anti-science and hard to understand, rather than appreciating it for what it is
I think the App market is like that of pop songs: a few developers make lots of money, a few make decent money for a short time, and most of them think they are working on a career but are lucky if they can scrape by.

Main reason, I think, is the same in both industries: more people have the ability for the craft than are needed to satisfy demand, and they’re willing to do it for peanuts and/or tricking themselves to think success and, with it, monetary compensation, will eventually come their way.

And compared to the music industry, 30% doesn’t seem that bad. https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/music-artists-make-12-...: “Musicians Get Only 12 Percent of the Money the Music Industry Makes”

So, are musicians being preyed upon by the music industry, or is selling music harder work than making music? I would think it’s a bit of both. I also think that applies to apps, too.
> The first thing everyone does is check the box

If that is the first thing everyone does, it is clearly a desirable feature. Yet I don't know anyone who is not "in tech" with an Android device that has the box checked.

Android is a privacy and security nightmare because neither Google, nor the OEMs really care. They do not provide timely updates for the majority of devices, do only a lax automated check on the Play Store, the hardware components are not vertically integrated etc.

This has nothing to do with the ability to sideload apps with an obscure checkbox. The problems are architectural and cultural. In fact, I'd wager that F-Droid, (a 3rd party store), is safer than the Play Store.
> I think it's plausible that a god would not want to talk to another intelligent civilization. Why would we? We would be to a god what bacteria is to us.

That may be because we can't even perceive bacteria, but if we go a little bit bigger and you could have a conversation with a dog, cat, deer, or any other animal, I bet you would. I know I personally would just to understand how those animals think and the differences between them and us.

With that said, I do agree with you, but I don't think this is really a comparable analogy though because I'm sure a god wouldn't want to converse with us due to boredom of interacting with plenty of other intelligent life and pretty much everything else before reaching us.
It's wishful thinking about how it will turn out (clearly it's not working out like people wanted) with a lot of magical thinking, and political expediency. The economy is hurting, and if you are a leading politician, you want the economy to improve, for people to see there is an end in sight and that we can go back to normal. All these motivations can be true at the same time.

America is so polarized and so many stupid people are convinced that there's some political basis behind the fact that masks prevent spreading, that the US won't be able to just recover from this until we have some combination of effective treatment and/or vaccines. We'll continue to have a lot of big cities, mostly liberal places probably, where people try to distance and wear masks (but not enough). Magical thinking won't make this go away, unlike a lot of other things that you can wish away or ignore when you are in a really rich country.

I will indeed argue that these are dissimilar groups. Being a Trump supporter and reluctantly voting Republican are two entirely different positions that nevertheless lead to the same outcome.

I agree with a lot of what's written here and applying it to CI/CD was what led me to build https://boxci.dev

In my view your tools should come to you - for instance with CI, why should you have to go all-in porting your production build pipeline for a third-party platform and workflow when you have a build script that already works, and fast, and you really just need to change a couple of flags to build for production rather than dev? As the author says, you shouldn't change your workflow for the tool, the tool should help you with your workflow.

I'm not sure what your definition of meaning is. Take this example from the GPT3 paper:

To do a "farduddle" means to jump up and down really fast. An example of a sentence that uses the word farduddle is:
One day when I was playing tag with my little sister, she got really excited and she started doing these crazy farduddles.

According to my understanding of the concept it must know something about meaning and is able to reason about it if it was able to generate this.
Yeah, true

GPT-3 involves zero fine-tuning or customization to any purpose. It’s not attempting to be a product, but rather a platform people can use to explore the possibilities of products. With fine-tuning it could do all sorts of domain-specific things that it can only passably do now. We suspect this to be true because we’ve seen how other systems behave with and without fine-tuning.
This is amazing....

I think a lot of people in the tech community would be open to a few 1:1 conversations with people out of their normal network now and then. This approach chimes with how (I think) community can be sustainably built and expanded in tech, both parties benefiting from possible out-of-band experiences. There’s no guarantee of that, of course, but that’s a risk people can assess when spending their time. People love talking about what they do, both for personal brand and personal enjoyment (Meet-ups and less corporate conferences are clear examples of this).

Wish the expectations of these conversations were more outlined, though. “Get on the waitlist” is a bit of a black box.

Also, maybe this is personal bias, but allowing for non-Twitter handles (I think my HN handle better resonates with my technical leanings than my Twitter, which is mostly just me posting more or less random thoughts). Looks like they’re using Twitter authentication, though, as well the “We met up” tweets have some virality, so I understand that design choice at the current moment.

After seeing a former teacher of mine ask about people who’d be willing to talk with his high school students, I think there’s also an extension of this platform to help match speakers with educators trying to help students understand what it means to work in technology (Or other fields). When I was an undergraduate we’d run part of a summer program teaching high school students how to differentiate stem cells into beating heart cells, hard to say that example wouldn’t be formative for students trying to figure out what to pursue in the future.

I still have to give Epic a cut. Why can’t I accept credit cards on the Epic platform and bypass Epic’s “walled garden”?

Because the version available on people's phone still relies on their payment processor for in app payments.

The version on the phone allows people to bypass Apple’s in app payment.

Isn't Apple asking for a 30% cut on that?

The original sin was to allow in app purchases for consumables in games to fester on iOS in the first place. I would be fine if all games had to either be paid up front or allow you to pay for levels you keep.
I want to agree with this author, but sadly the business world does not agree.

The reason Airtable, Notion, Monday, and others are so successful is because they do precisely the opposite of what the author is suggesting.

This is the same reason most workflow software starts out as a replacement to Excel and Spreadsheets, but people continue to resort to Excel and Spreadsheets.
Years ago I analyzed the build vs. buy question and came up with a rule that I later found to be not so original: buy for parity, build for competitive advantage.

Most of any business is commodity stuff, typically things like HR, payroll, logistics, finance, security. Except if your business is one of those functions. Take Amazon's logistics for example. They aren't just any online retailer, they are the dominant online retailer in large part because they optimized the hell out of their logistics pipeline.

But if it's not your bread-and-butter, then yeah, go ahead and change your workflow to whatever COTS software you pick requires. You'll be fine. I worked for an insurance company, and they picked PeopleWare for their HR system and used commodity software tools for their actuarials. I worked for a very large shoe company they has SAP at the core of their (extremely complex) product lifecycle management system because their real business differentiator is their design and marketing.

That same insurance company had a customer sales pipeline tailored to a specific market – high-end professionals like doctors, lawyers, and similar – so they had custom software for that. That same shoe company had customized design and bill of materials systems so they could get their shoes to market quickly and globally.
My main gripe with apple is their tactics around subscription fees.

You can't direct your customers to sign-up via your website, circumventing apple to receive a 30% discount. Ultimately the customer suffers. They should have consumer awareness and choice, it's their right.

Then they give Netflix special sweetheart treatment, why?

I find these examples both deceptive and anti-competitive.

Because 30% is an extraordinary amount of money. Apple is user-hostile on this too, not sure why their users would ever defend it. Think of it this way, every time you buy something on the store you're paying 30% of your money to Apple. You're paying 30% of your money to Apple for the right to install the app on your phone

You are allowed to charge more to make up for the fees. But you cannot tell your users this. If you say "sign up on our website to save" you will be banned from the store. Tons of people pay 30% more for subscriptions because they bought them through apple store.

I'm tired of all the locked down bullshit and you should be too. It's my device, I should be able to install whatever I want
> and afaict, inexplicably, vendors listened

That got a good laugh out of me.

That idea sounds really clever, but even if NATs wouldn't mangle the ICMP reply, don't you need elevated privileges to receive it in your application? And I wouldn't be too surprised if a bunch of devices would just drop it entirely.

Another thing that just came to my mind: Do any of those hard NATs assign the outgoing port in a predictable pattern for some inexplicable reason? I'd guess no, since those already seem to be security focused and not randomizing the port sounds stupid, but you never know... Would be a cool last resort for hard/hard.
You don’t buy the product and store it, you just find the customer and the distributor mails it directly to the customers, not you.

This post seems to be conflating a few different things:

1. Trimming for mean estimation, which removes extreme values in an algorithmic fashion

2. Subjective removal of outliers based on researcher judgment (this is the garden of forking paths Gelman talks about)

3. Estimating other distributional properties, such as the variance, with trimmed estimators

These are all different things and come with different theoretical and practical risks and benefits. Trimmed means are perfectly good statistical tools, although they have their limitations like anything else.
It's certainly possible, HN here is a niche reddit clone that doesn't have a subreddit equivalent I've found. Slashdot would be the closest to HN ...
Thanks. In that case, I'm confused on why do y'all choose to emphasize email that much in your product's introduction (you even have the word "mail" in your product's name).

Email is like one of the most common used identity, if not "the" most common used one, for web/cloud services. It's used as identity for roughly half of services in the wild, yet they don't put email/mail in their names, or emphasize that they are email alternatives.

You said emails are not the _core_ mechanism within the app. Maybe besides using them as identities, you also use emails for other, "non-core" way? Can you clarify on that? Maybe it's only me but it really confuses me that you emphasize email in such a way but only use them as identities.
I don't think that's what it means, I think it means they have to re-invest benefits in the company no? Signal does get money from donations

I agree with the general sentiment of your post, however, this may not be necessarily true. If you have a shelter that provides adequate conditions for life, that's it.

It got a very crazy build system, and uses it for all its dependencies.
It uses some kind of special IDE with compilation rules for msvc and gcc, no configure/make, no cmake.

In this stage it has no chance of being packaged. I started converting it to autotools, but it's long way to go.
The demo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLumnSctakY&feature=youtu.be) reveals that this is not just a traditional window manager for a static screen, it's got a much larger virtual canvas that the display can scroll around in. So there's a LOT more space to make an aesthetic decision for big, character-wide window frames.

Seriously go watch the video, this thing feels like it's got a foot in the realm of UI roads not taken like Raskin's zoomable UI, text-mode is maybe more just a way to keep their focus on thinking about the interactions without having to worry about drawing a bunch of pretty widgets.

It is very important for the development of the children to continue their education and socialize. Basically every child you ask will tell you it wants to go back to school. Making this about economics is nonsense.
