So, almost all my content is hidden, but if you like text adventures you might have a go with the header bar.

It's pointing at my repo which is a mono-repo full of whatever I feel like:
https://github.com/ricklove/rick-love-master

Basically, this is a website all built in react. It uses a simplified version of gatsby to generate a static website with async loaded components. That is hosted on netlify which basically provides free https, simple dns management, and git deploy with auto CDN cache expiration. In addition, I use serverless framework cli to define my AWS infrastructure and deploy the serverless stuff from command line. Essentially, I can make anything and deploy it in about 30 secs.

Some interesting things:

- A text adventure called dork (it's in the console simulator in the header)

- A doodle game for parties (using serverless websockets with AWS Api Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB): https://ricklove.me/games/doodle-party?room=hacker-news

- A bunch of educational games I made for my kids (using AWS lambda and S3 for storage): https://ricklove.me/games

- A code relationship visualizer: https://ricklove.me/tests/code-space/

- Components Testing (e.g. Stripe: https://ricklove.me/tests/stripe/)
> I know at least octopi can use computer screens, and I know they enjoy hard puzzles that reward them with food, so it should be easy to teach them some computer puzzle game?

I'm not sure it's that easy.

For example, suppose a race of hyperintelligent octopuses beam down and decide to study your intelligence. They notice in one test that if you begin scrambling eggs for breakfast and they cut off both your arms at the shoulder, your arms aren't able to finish scrambling the eggs.

"My, the intelligence in this species isn't very well-distributed," they and their tentacles agree.
In the world's second most populated country...incidents have been happening all the time. Except now its the media reporting and amplifying and sensationalizing the issues to get TRP and clicks.
Yes, the rules. Basically to encode the rules of GoL into the convolutional matrices.
That’s why I mentioned the whistleblower statutes. SARs are not crimes. They are potentially suspicious activity. If there is a crime not being reported after collection of these SARs then blow the whistle. No reason to leak a bunch of them unless you believe the collection of such data to be illegal in the first place (it’s not).

For what it’s worth, the problem is that most folks don’t know what SARs are, when they’re filed, etc. This is basically the equivalent of leaking a bunch of private banking records that banks have to provide to the government, not “leaking hidden crimes that nobody stopped”
To be fair, he's been very heavy-handed with his support for Apple through any and all criticism. I follow him on Twitter and, from the tweets of his that I have read, he's defended Apple every single time they have appeared in the news, irrespective of circumstance or evidence. He is definitely not an objective and unbiased source when it comes to Apple.

Just because he is a well-known individual, and is incredibly intelligent, does not mean that every single opinion that he holds is necessarily superior (which is why an appeal to authority is a logical fallacy).

All of that being said, I really don't understand the point of the root comment.
I always love when reality and music collide in strange ways. It always drives my thinking into directions I don't expect.
Eh, I dunno. The default react to a lot of things here on HN is "talk to a lawyer". It feels very different to cultire here in the UK where lawsuits are seen as a last resort.
I recently set this up, but with Podman since I was experimenting with CentOS. It turned out to be quite simple to use network namespaces. I created a new namespace for wireguard and moved wg0 into the namespace, then had the container use that namespace:

ip netns add vpn
ip link add wg0 type wireguard
ip link set wg0 netns vpn
# configure wireguard as usual, prefix commands with ip netns exec vpn
podman run --network=ns:/var/run/netns/vpn ...

When I tried this was not yet possible with rootless containers, but in newer Podman versions you can tell slirp4netns to use a specific network interface with --network=slirp4netns:outbound_addr=INTERFACE.
Gotta love all the "German style" beers that still taste like watery IPAs and nothing like the German beer they pretend to imitate.

That is not what the article is about. The article is about choosing what projects to do to do at work, not the usual “things that matter” schtick.
“Talk to a lawyer” and “initiate a lawsuit” are very different recommendations.
How to Read at Work
Like I said, my information is spotty, but good to know, thanks. Looks like they also have pro-rated bundles (at the same time or later, I can't discern).

However, a search suggests that this feature was announced 2 years ago next month. Which is one of those grey areas where advertisers say "hundreds" and the potential customer thinks, "347" whereas the advertiser means "147".

So, you're right, and thank you for the update, but also I'm keeping an eye on you...
I'd put my money on less utility. Dogs can be used for hunting, managing herds of pasture animals, guarding things, tracking animals and people by scent, and more. Pigs can learn tricks and be trained to sniff for things (e.g. truffles). But I've never seen a pig herding sheep. Pigs are probably less useful to hunt with, since they're slower than dogs and aren't natural predators.
Do you feel it's a good stepping stone though for people to open up before starting to share non-anonymous feedback?
It matters if sentencing you over a video call makes it more likely that you'll be sentenced to death.

I think there's a good chance that people are more willing to sentence people they haven't seen in person to death.
Whole Foods Founder: ‘The Whole World Is Getting Fat’
If the work is that low priority, it makes you wonder why they bother having anyone doing it at all!
I don't think you are talking about the same number. Original mentioned that the number of deaths in 2020 would be 3% more than the number of deaths in 2019, not that 3% of the population had died. That would be 240 Million people!
A better argument about user freedom would be:

* The social media companies that had to deal with having their apps blocked because of Apple's puritanical stance on nudity.

* The recent rule change banning vaping and tobacco related apps.

* The inability for FOSS projects to easily distribute to users without paying a $100/year fee for something they want to give away. Users can only acquire it through the app store, or compile themselves and go through an inconvenient signing process to load it on. And I believe that's very temporary.

It's pretty offensive that a company thinks they can dictate what sort of software you run on your own device.

It was popular, like, a century ago. Black licorice now is pretty uncommon.

I'm one of those night owls, thank you. I've had to deal with early morning standups in the past and it was soul crushing and a huge net-negative for my work.

Fortunately my current team does 11:15 which works great, especially from home.
My company's leadership does not acknowledge or care about value delivered locally; it is all about cross-team collaboration. (If you get something done locally in 6 weeks, you wasted your time, while if you involve 4 other orgs so that it takes 30 weeks, everyone involved gets promoted).

It seems local variations in development processes as the #1 blocker to more cross-team collaboration, so it is enthusiastically steamrolling them.

Isn't the schema.org annotations the semantic web? My understanding is that the adoption small i.e. Wiki says 17% (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema.org).

> As it stands, livestock are a significant contributor towards global CO₂ emissions

Correct.

> going in with the mindset that "this isn't useful unless innovation and policy changes come about"

Curbing methane emissions by including seaweed in the feed is useful and proactive. Blaming consumers is not.
I find having context for what others are working is helpful. Not only does it mean I can help them better when necessary, I can be aware of what other people are doing in the project and head off any potential problems.
I can also buy games from other places than Steam. I cannot install iPhone apps I download online. That little detail changes the situation entirely.

I don't care what Apple charges if I can install a binary without dealing with their store.
Just delete that fragment "and new types ...". No part of it is true. Unsafe blocks do not introduce any new types anyways. You can do anything at all with a pointer, except dereference it, outside of an unsafe block. There's no such thing as an "unsafe type". Safe rust can do anything it wants to with an UnsafeCell, for example, except get inside it.

If you really must, you can say "and allows dereferencing raw pointers", but that's something which is true of unsafe blocks, not "Unsafe Rust". Which, incidentally, is not a thing. If someone says "unsafe rust" what they mean is "the part of rust outside the safe subset"; but when you capitalize it and say it "introduces" all these things you make it sound like a separate language...
That's not much of an argument when the supposedly "objective" measurements aren't measuring what's truly important anyway. I think the best you can do is probably to moderate the managers assessment with "360" feedback from everyone an emplotee works with, and similar feedback on the manager themselves.
Thanks that’s a great paper. Much obliged.
I've come across a few foods that appear to be heavily acquired tastes, and if you did not get used to it as a kid, it is very difficult to change your tastes. Licorice is definitely one for me, it makes me feel like I am eating tree sap. Others include perilla leaves (called sesame leaves in Korean cuisine) and cilantro (people who are not used to it says it tastes like soap).
I see so much space between a journal and the CCP that Facebook is more like neither than like either.

The main historical analogy to Facebook which seems relevant is the phone company. Either Facebook is so large and influential that misinformation on Facebook can threaten our political process, or it isn't, and clearly it's the former.

When Ma Bell was the only game in town, they weren't allowed to deny use of the network to the Communist Party, because that was clearly a violation of the concept of free speech.

I don't think the difference between a natural monopoly and a state monopoly has much relevance here, what does matter is that if you ban, say, a political party, from Facebook, it absolutely cripples their ability to participate in the democratic process. That's too much power for me to simply shrug and say "their house, their rules".

It's a bad situation, and we should get out of it. And yes, Facebook itself isn't the Ministry of Truth, and doesn't have jackbooted security waiting in the wings.

But I firmly believe that the parties who are pushing for control over social media discourse absolutely want that end state, they are driven by power, and the only way to fight that outcome is to resist it early and often. Denying a victory here will spare expensive battles down the line.
I would gladly pay the cost of standup in exchange for a team culture that is reluctant about interruptions.

Most people get both standup and constant interruption.
> this study proves that birds have something equivalent of a cerebral cortex

It shows that they have a brain area that is in the same general location, anatomically and developmentally speaking, and that that brain area shows neuron activity that correlates with behavior cues that they see an object they have been trained to look for.

> Cerebral cortex is critical for awareness, consciousness, thought, memory, and language.

It is in humans. But humans provide a huge amount of behavioral evidence for these capacities, far beyond that brain area showing neuron activity when we give a signal we were trained by conditioning to give when we see something we were trained by conditioning to look for.
> humans aren’t intelligent because they can’t avoid car accidents in the rain

A reasonable exhibit one for the presently observable limits on (at least collective) human intelligence.
Thanks. Seems like I’m mistaken about this or my experience is not as common. Appreciate the links.

I’d be interested if they always came with a press release and public quotes / pressure - but maybe that’s in the ACU report. Haven’t gotten all the way through it yet.
You misread my comment. I wasn't advocating for, or against, Apple or any other company. My comment applied to the entire smartphone market, and how it was different from the entire console market.

Saying that because a certain model (seemingly) works in consoles, that it should also work in phones is lazy thinking. Saying "the iPhone is a console, end of story" is a ridiculous analogy. It's also an analogy that exclusively comes from (predominantly white) wealthy westerners.

Try asking anyone not in the top 5% of the worlds wealth if a gaming console and a smart phone are of comparable importance. Then, ask them if smartphones and consoles should be afforded similar consideration and protections by their society.

You'll be laughed out of the room because there's no comparison. One gives them access to the entirety of the worlds knowledge, the ability to communicate with anyone in the world, and captures deeply intimate thoughts and ideas. While the other...?

It plays Grand Theft Auto[0].

The rest of your argument, seems to be that "the market will sort it out" and any interference with the space will stifle growth and innovation. Maybe. But I'm sorry, that's not a universal "first principle", that's an opinion. My opinion is that smart legislation could actually accelerate growth and innovation while at the same time enhancing user freedoms and protections. But that's getting off track and wasn't the point I was making:

Equating smartphones with gaming consoles is as intellectually lazy as it is troubling.

[0] I love GTA, and gaming in general, so this is not a knock on it.

Hmm are you saying that it's not too hard because the writing style in the feedback will give away the identity or anything else?
> It’s just that simple

That’s an awfully simple view of the world. And it’s just not feasible. Even games that are well done have these anti patterns. For example, my kids have been playing “Among us” a lot with their friends. On iOS at least, this is a free game that shows ads to continue. Not playing the game was not really a good option for them from a social perspective.

Thankfully, there is an in app purchase to remove the ads.

But this is to illustrate that even “good” apps still sometimes have these dark patterns.
"loser pays" also has a significant impact
I've come to believe that the real motivation is avoiding the need for a meeting room.
Case in point, the off-maligned McDonald's woman. Take a look at the burns that woman sustained and the facts of the case to see how much of a hit job that was.
I love black licorice, and have for years. A few years back, I started to notice I'd get a headache if I ate some.
My wife told me she heard it was connected to higher blood pressure, which I was unable to confirm despite some self-testing. Still, the headaches persist. So I've been laying off.
Try other apps besides VRChat. Well optimized ones run fine.

I am 100% in agreement with the author. I happily pay Apple a premium to keep my devices private, secure and for their thoughtful curated user experience.

Epic et al can f* off
I have fiber at the moment and I've been using GeForce NOW on my wireless home network. I've been playing FPS games (Insurgency) and to be honest, I don't even notice I'm streaming outside of rare glitches.

I'm positive it's the future of gaming. There are countless benefits for both users (don't need to buy a dedicated gaming machine, don't need to download or install games, improved security when you're just streaming video instead of installing all sorts of software) and developers (easier to prevent cheating, stops piracy, subscription model for pricing). Previous methods of gaming just feel outdated in my opinion.

I feel like it's an easy prediction. Gaming desktops will become more and more niche over the next decade or two. Consoles will turn into streaming devices with controllers. I imagine next generation consoles will have a cheap version that just stream games on a monthly subscription, and a pro version with actual hardware. Two generations after that will just be streaming only versions.
You’re right and it clearly didn’t influence the election.

I meant to say the single most significant piece of misinformation since the last election.
It really depends on the organization. I've been in places where the job of the manager really is to just "manage": make sure everyone has a desk and a computer and takes their vacation sometimes but not too much and so forth. Performance was based on peer review, work was planned from the bottom up. Obviously a non-technical manager is fine in this role and a technical person would be wasted.
The inverse to "not safe" isn't "good for their health", but "safe" (or at least not less safe than one would expect - i.e. that much sweet liquorice is also going to have a bunch of sugar, which is both widely known and documented on the packaging), which is more reasonable to think.
> horses are incredibly stupid

I thought horses were supposed to be smart, but TV may have influenced my thinking...

> As actor Alan Young recounted: "It was initially done by putting a piece of nylon thread in his mouth. But Ed actually learned to move his lips on cue when the trainer touched his hoof. In fact, he soon learned to do it when I stopped talking during a scene! Ed was very smart."
A lot of bologna in this thread. Time boxing works, full stop.
Epic is suing Google for pressuring OEMs against preinstalling its app store on devices, not for preventing users from installing its app store themselves. It's true that app stores not signed with the system key can't automatically update apps, and users would benefit even more if they could, but users already benefit from being able to install apps outside of the official app store at all.
I found it interesting that the coriander thing is genetic: https://www.britannica.com/story/why-does-cilantro-taste-lik...

> However, some people find cilantro revolting, including, famously, the chef Julia Child. Of course some of this dislike may come down to simple preference, but for those cilantro-haters for whom the plant tastes like soap, the issue is genetic. These people have a variation in a group of olfactory-receptor genes that allows them to strongly perceive the soapy-flavored aldehydes in cilantro leaves.
If you detested it the first 49 times, why keep eating it?
I feel like recently the semantic web is gaining a bit of a resurgance with wikidata.

But i think the general vision of individual mutually untrusted individuals participating in an interconnected knowledge graph is pretty dead.

* its hard to do quality/concistency control on that which makes the results less useful.

* RDF is rediculously complicated. Microformats/rdfa is a bit better, but still it essentially requires specialist knowledge to do this properly. This strongly discourages average joe from just adding annotations.

* unclear value proposition at the small scale.

* it is very difficult to scale complex queries on large semantic data sets. It can often be hard to predict how performance will change over time. Compare to traditional relational DBs which have very predictable scalability and lots of DBAs who know how to optimize. I think this is probably the biggest hurdle to large-scale adoption.

* * key example: the example queries at https://query.wikidata.org are pretty magical, but when you try your own, you can quickly run into timeouts, especially when nested deeply in a graph (e.g. find all species of plants matching some property)
You'd be receiving a lot of emails then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life_of_knowledge
Well as one specific example...

On the Mac App Store, you can’t even initiate a search in a category; you must start with text. From there, you can select Filters; the only price options are “Any” or ”Free” (ridiculous), the only categories are extremely broad things like “Games” (yes, just that). So I want to be able to say things like “Search -> Games -> Puzzles”, with checkboxes like “No In-App Purchases”. That is a simple query but you’d go crazy trying to compose that list with the current Store.

Worse, existing groups do not represent apps faithfully. A store link that says “See All” really means “see a list of about 12 things that random Apple employees threw together using $UNKNOWN_CRITERIA, and we refuse to show you anything else on the store that certainly belongs in this category”. So I want a list to actually have the apps for sale in that category, not something from Apple’s “experts”.

As far as banishing apps...sometimes I just want to search more quickly but there are definitely apps that I think have no right to exist (like trivial apps with absurd subscription prices designed to scam people, or games with built-in massive in-app purchases that are repeatable).

Which other ones besides DAFT are you referring to? I think all of them that I have read about(Portugal, Malta, Cyprus) require hundreds of thousand of Euros no?
Me too. Luckily, on Android, apps must also request the location permission, and you don't have to send your location to anybody. This is unlike iOS, where Apple gets your location no matter what.
