> I see many issues from developers where I have to walk them back to the start and spend time on identifying the problem.

Honestly, in a lot of cases when I have thrown away something and used something else because I just need to show that I'm doing something to develop a reasonably performant application rather than spending all my time optimizing performance. Spending a whole week optimizing your application's performance is surprisingly rare in the modern hustle-driven culture of "lean" startups and such -- cargo-culted by a lot of companies and bosses who have nothing to do with startups.

I recently realized that the entire gunicorn / uwsgi world for example is filled with anecdotes about performance instead of simple, comprehensible benchmarks; and I thought they were one of the better ones. I suspect this kind of lack of performance focus by most of the users is a big part of why.

Here is some data backing up what I’ve been (mostly subjectively) observing. In particular, look at the skyrocketing median list/sale price (+10% YOY) and the YOY changes in sale price since ~2010. Also, medians are of course just an aggregate measure that does not tell the full story—low quality cookie cutter developments drag the medians down. Older homes in decent neighborhoods are even hotter.

And the tower of ever more obscure abstractions just keeps on growing. Until one of these fragile layers starts to malfunction and the whole thing comes tumbling down and nobody has a clue how to fix it all up.

Collectively, as an industry we have gone insane.
All terms of service is a status quo in a way
I think the only way to do that (in principle) would be to make an electric jet engine and power it wirelessly, which becomes less efficient and powerful the further from the transmitting array and thinner the atmosphere before replacing the atmosphere with its own propellant (you can't push against nothing in a vacuum).

But if you did have such an engine/transmitter maybe you could make an electric plane that gets recharged as it passes over transmitting stations on the ground.
Ask HN: Any interest in a programmer career networking service?
I might be starting a new job search fairly soon, and with that comes the need to brush up on interviewing skills.

The problem is that it can be difficult to find other programmers to practice with, let alone ones working on the same technology or with a similar amount of experience.

I am finding myself wishing there was some sort of low key network of other programmers which I could plug into and practice interviewing, but also to regularly discuss the industry in general wrt to career opportunity / advancement.

Are any others are interested in this type of network? I've set up a minimal google site and form to gauge interest as well:

Here in my 3rd world country, fiber is getting pretty common. Small ISPs just rent space on poles and lay the fiber to the extend that I can choose from 4 different fiber ISPs in my home.

It amazes me how difficult it seems to get the same in more developed places like US/Canada.
Yes! I think comprehensive social benefits and putting handling of disabilities and such outside the purview of schools would go a long way towards reducing the amount spent per child.
A horn? Like a fucking rhino? Glad OP covered that use case, I was concerned.
Exactly, but then they rightly realized they would also lose all those customers looking for 5400rpm disks. And, no no no, they didn't want THAT.

Easy fix though, smack a new 5400rpm label on those disks and fix the firmware to report 5400rpm, now they could get rid of the production line and retain the customers that weren't looking for 7200rpm disks.

Absolute garbage.
You can record your voice in different styles, which I think would help with inflection. I haven't had enough time to really experiment with it yet. The starting point is definitely an impressive effort on the Overdub/Descript team's side.

> Games are often very low margin products

Yeah, so, did you check how much Epic earns with fortnite?
I wont call this 'low margin' at all.
Like any other regulation?

Rules, Letters to enforce those rules, Strongly worded letters to enforce those rules.

Announced and unannounced audits to ensure compliance.

In the extreme case and only if needed, fines, warrants and searches or revocation of access to customers (EU companies wanting to advertise) and resources (FB users in Europe).

FB knows that and they also know this particular case is very public so they will either comply (probably hesitantly and last minute) or withdraw from the EU market if the bean counters say it's not worth the effort.
non-profit doesn't mean non-revenue
I feel like this would be an easier sell for me if there didn't exist any competitor devices wherein you could run unauthenticated 3rd party software. As a consumer you have the option to purchase those devices instead or even consider reverse-engineering the locked-down product.

> IMO this should extend to game consoles too. You should be able to run homebrew games and tools on a console.

That argument there appeals to me emotionally a lot more though, I will admit! It's easy to admire Commodore 64 programmers before my time, or when I wrote Xbox 360 games using XNA in university.
what do you mean by masking your IP address? Tor?
Everyone's a "fox" or a "rabbit" about different things, and often the foxes are in the majority for each issue, but (almost) everyone would be better off with "rabbit for everything" than "fox for everything".

The most obvious cases of fox / rabbit issues are regarding GRSM rights. A majority would weakly prefer that gay people not marry (but they'd just shrug and move on if overruled), a small minority would strongly prefer that gay people not marry… and then you've got all the gay people, most of whom would very strongly prefer that gay people can marry. The weak majority who care enough to block "rabbit", but not enough to actually be upset if it happened, rule the policy – until democracy becomes indirect, anyway.

Indirect democracy should never have superior properties to direct democracy. Is there a way of fixing this?
I am happy this worked out for them. Sweden is a great country, I wish them well.
I think the issue is that there's always inherent risks to relying on external forces.

And that you literally cannot avoid external forces.

This isn't unique to Apple, and it's not arbitrary or capricious on their behalf.
I use something pretty minimal myself: https://github.com/graupe/brownout
I hear people insist they're more efficient in a terminal, and some tasks are friendly to this bias -- but not all of them. And when it comes to the ones not fundamentally text-mode in nature, I have yet to really SEE that happen from those same people when I've worked closely with them.

IME, these people are also the ones who insist that the tasks a terminal is bad at, and that they consequently have trouble doing efficiently (e.g., well-formatted text, or formatting text in line with a shared template) are somehow not important or legitimate. The super common pattern is a refusal to engage in HTML email, for example. Sure, mutt is fast for plaintext mail, but if you have to engage in some additional toolchain machinations to read (let alone create) an HTML mail, you lose a bunch of those efficiency points.

Maybe you're different! It's possible! But I haven't seen it.

As for myself, I absolutely still do composition in plain text 99% of the time, because I've been bitten by extinct file formats too many times. But I'm running native emacs under OSX, in a graphical environment, when I do it. When I need to do something for production to a client, I'm in Word, because it makes creating an attractive document far, far easier than with any prior tool.

(Including, it chagrins me to note, Word 5 for DOS.)
I’m clearly not Eric, but you’ve only addressed the investor side here.

Looks to me LTSE is trying to create a forcing function, primarily through governance, for companies to think and act long-term.
I would speculate that the disappearance of Fortnite from the App Store is a net positive for game developers there.

Fortnite sucks the air out of the room, as much as any #1 media property does to its category.

Besides, making an Unreal Engine game for iOS hardly ever makes sense. Those are always crummy ports.

You could argue Fortnite on mobile devices is itself a crummy port.

Do we need more virtual joystick games? Are we deprived of Battle Royales?

Ask film people whether we’d be better off without Disney, for example.

Listen Epic may be right in some ways, but if Apple just arbitrarily periodically removed the #1 apps from the App Store, I’ve got a surprise for you: it would be healthy for the app ecosystem.
That just excludes haemorrhagic stroke rather than confirms most ischaemic strokes. It allows for antiplatlets to be safely given. MRI is still needed to diagnose all but severe or very late strokes as far as I’m aware (although this is not my field. Happy to be proven wrong)
Shame on you. You know better than that.
Potentially a good use of this is so we can stop running CT's on children that banged their head on something. Kids do that all the time and 99.999% of the time it's nothing but hospitals run CT's to cover their butts.
I don't have a great answer for you but it bears reminding that Woodword previously built the case that caused Nixon to resign by publishing it in a book (when he was an investigative reporter for the Washington Post).

Why Trump woudl sit down for a recorded interview with Woodward is an interesting question.

People who have money and a stake in green energy have the motivation and means to actively fight against the movie, while part-time volunteer activists don't.

That doesn't make the content of the film any more accurate [1], nor does it mean that the technologies put forward by profiteers of green energy less valid. This article too seems to cherry-pick problems without comparing the size to alternatives (which it doesn't offer).

It's ironic that the solution would lie in the hands of common people (change their consumption, become active), but prefer to blame rich people, left and right.

I personally enjoyed the snark, too many HN commenters are arrogant, short-sighted or just plain stupid and could use a little "social correction" from time to time.
I'm very excited about the continued evolution of SwiftUI, as well as Apple Silicon! I think these are both great moves for the Mac, and while there are some aspects of the Big Sur UI I'm not totally sold on, I think these will be refined over the coming years. I'm hoping for way more new Mac apps with SwiftUI and Catalyst making it easier for iOS developers to write Mac apps!
The problem as I see it is that we have stated principles: e.g. no torture, no punishment without trial, no extrajudicial punishment. There are good reasons for those principles. If we don't follow those principles, then what principles are we following? There are no limits.

If it's okay to murder detainees in this situation, then why wouldn't it be okay to murder detainees in that other, only slightly less justifiable situation?

If the President can order the assassination of American citizens, then what prevents the next President to order the assassination of political opponents?

Why couldn't I murder my neighbor for their TV? If you say "that way lies chaos" that's exactly, exactly my point.

I cannot imagine what ends justifies some of these actions. Is it really keeping us "safe" to have a government that abandons our principles whenever expedient?
Minor point: sideloading is allowed, but requires you pay Apple their yearly developer tax.
Panpsychists posit that the type of mentality we know through our own experience is present, in some form, in a wide range of natural bodies.[7]
Panpsychism assert the nonsensical belief that any physical object (an atom, a rock, a cpu) have some undefined, variable cognitive abilities + eventually qualias.
So what I'm saying about panpsychism applied to the current state of a cpu through software make as much sense (or nonsense) as about a rock.

I've read and quoted the definition, now please show that you have a working brain
I honestly cannot figure out how to use this site to see if my broker, or any broker for that matter, is a member of LTSE. Would you be able to provide an example?
Two of the three peer reviewers didn't agree with how the study extrapolated results to predict the effect on carbon. One reviewer wrote, "The conclusion about neutralizing the carbon sink ignores forest management ..."

Using a static analysis to predict complex system behavior seldom works.

I'm wondering about how a tree becomes unnerved.
If "adding capacity to existing lanes" was your intended wording it absolutely can - widening a lane, simplifying lane markings, restricting turns in/out of a lane, and more can be done to increase the efficiency of a lane.

If you meant adding capacity to existing roads (by adding lanes) it certainly can drop congestion as well. Expanding roads blindly CAN also make congestion worse but that's a possible outcome not a guarantee.

The point of the original "paradox" is that if you want the least amount of road congestion by private vehicles the best investment is to grow public transport but many places dump more money into roads and lower the percentage of users using public transport because "roads are where the congestion is". Hence the paradox, increasing road spending increases road congestion (in places with existing public transport).

The point of the second paradox is there exist ways to add more paths to a network that result in less flow than the network had before regardless of other conditions like public transport being available. The paradox is NOT that adding additional capacity to a network ALWAYS or NORMALLY results in less flow. In fact most of the time it does help flow (marginally) it's just a poor investment compared to the same amount spent on public transport.
Uber was forced into compliance and AirBnB just lost a court case against them in Germany if I recall correctly that forces them to reveal some landlords to the local authorities.
“Go against” meaning purposely breaking a TOS and then suing Apple. Epic wanted this so the crowd can call Apple the bad guy when they react to the terms.
Perhaps it's a really good render and they're just saying it's IRL! Give it a couple of years ...
Except when they fired basically all their talent. I don't really have any love for them after this.

It really is modern ORVs that have made this so much worse recently. It used to be 4-wheelers, but that's a rough and rugged form of travel. You're not going to get an entire family plus drinks and food loaded up on 4-wheelers the same way people do now with RZRs. RZRs and their like have made off-roading way more accessible. What used to be outdoor gear rental shops selling kayaks and mountain bikes have turned into snowmobile and RZR rental shops

In my experience it's the family who shows up at the trailhead with two trailers full of RZRs who are ignorant of LNT principles, not college students and young adults getting out to car camp with their REI gear.
They're better in terms of impacting the immediate area around them than the RV/trailer/car-camping crowd but way worse than the actual off road "pitch a tent beside your Jeep" crowd because they go off the trail or stack rocks to avoid getting a scratch on the 4Runner they're still making payments on.

It's like they took every bad habit they could find from the '00s Landrover enthusiast crowd and unironically cranked it to 11

Frankly I like the car-camping crowd better because they don't tend to stray far from the road.
It is pretty wild, though mine wasn't quite as bad. It ended up clocking in at 650 lines. I guess part of that is because nim doesn't have braces... https://github.com/oakes/vulkan_triangle_nim/blob/master/src...
Thank you.

If I understand what you’ve written already, the essence of the answer in terms of mekkkkkk’s question (for reference: “ Sorry for also asking a space 101 question, but since the fabric of space is expanding, does that mean that things are getting bigger as well? Naively, it would seem that way. In your balloon example, the dots would get bigger.”), I think the answer would be:

Anything held together (for example by gravity, or the force that keeps out atoms together) is not growing along with the universe simply because those forces are (for now) stronger than the expansion.

This does produce an interesting side question though: aren’t we (humans) shrinking in relation to the universe?
Or, without the click-baity phrasing: isn’t the universe growing without us?
This has been a long time in coming, and is significant for the EU as a whole because of Ireland is the designated lead regulator for data privacy issues.

Even if a bunch of people used cheap money to buy TSLA, that means a bunch of other people now have lots of money they made selling TSLA.

So someone, somewhere, is sitting on cash, which is deflationary and not what you want in a weak economy.

The cure for that problem is cheap money plus expected inflation (cheap money so people can get cash, expected inflation so they go spend it). The Fed can make money cheap, but it can't force people to expect inflation. It can do stuff to encourage that expectation, though, and yeah it's doing just that.
Alexa, do you work for NSA?
Even $10 billion is nothing for a company of Apple's market value.

What needs to happen is that Apple and the App Store become separate companies, and other companies are also allowed to sell apps on iOS devices. Restrictive walled gardens like this need to be banned.
Fantastic explanation ookdatnog, thank you!
I think you can do it without. See AltStore.
It might only end up as little more than a rounding error, but I think Apple is losing this fight with consumers: Both my kids like Fortnite, and preferred to play on hand-me-down iPads. It was their main activity on any iOS device. Now they barely touch their iPads:

We already had a single Nintendo Switch that they both shared, so we let them spend the money they saved to split the cost & buy a second Switch lite so that they can both still play together. After getting used to haptic joystick controls, they much prefer them to touch controls.

They both now say "I hate Apple". They didn't get that from me: I think both companies are engaged in an arms race of their own self interest, and have explained the issue to my kids as being about both companies wanting to make money. Something like this:

"Apple created a store and wants people who sell items in the store to share money from their sales, which is the way stores generally work. Epic thinks that Apple & Google take way too much of that money and Epic wants to keep more of that money, though they are willing to let users get some saving too."

They both still hate Apple now, and when my daughter did pick up her iPad for the first time in days, she was afraid to spend her money on a different game she wanted because she thought Apple might take it away. (She's 7... she also kicks my --s in Fortnite. I'm smart, and decades of practice mean I pickup videogames fast enough to be above average in any new game. She is better & smarter than me in every way. I work in data science, and I'm half convinced that if I taught her the basics of SQL, python, R and a few presentation-layer reporting technologies, she could do my job in an hour of her free time each day. But, you know, child labor laws.)

"Up to now Sweden has recorded 5,838 coronavirus deaths, giving it the fifth-highest per capita death rate in Europe, [...]"

Yes they have the fift worst mortality per capita in Europe excluding microstates (Andorra, San Marino).

It is the 11th worst mortality in the world, again excluding the same two microstates.

Not sure how one can "vindicate" a strategy that lead to that, unless you imagine scenarios where the rest of the countries have huge moralities due to second wave, and Sweden somehow ends up on the other side of the table, with 11th best in the world.

They tried, props for the courage, but they fucked up.
My understanding is that on Multics, segment = file.

Multics had a segmented memory model, much like segmented memory models on the 286 and 386 – indeed, Multics was one of the influences on the designers of the 286 and 386 – although newer x86 operating systems moved to flat memory model instead, so segmented memory only ever saw significant use on 16-bit versions of Windows and OS/2.

What made Multics unique was that all files were mmaped – opening a file gave you the ID of a memory segment, which you'd then use much as you'd use a segment selector on x86.
I doubt you know what you’re talking about.

It’s never been about a status symbol for me. I don’t regret switching to Apple 20 years ago and the very little amount of time I spend fighting the OS to do what I need it to on a daily basis.

If anything, I have to put up with schmucks telling me I bought apple hardware for looks more than I enjoy any sort of status symbol for owning it.
The simulation you describe, if precise enough is isomorphic to a real brain so obviously it's tautologic that it would think the same way as the real brain do (qualias aside).
