Huge problem in the creative fields.

Almost everyone is super hyped that someone finally likes their work enough that they actually want it, let alone actually want to pay for it. So they undervalue their work and sell it for peanuts. I sometimes see work priced so low that it barely covers the supplies. They might sell a few but don't want to raise their price as they get better. Get a few people doing this and it becomes hard for legitimate creatives to sell their work at higher realistic prices.

Then there's overseas creatives. Some can do phenomenal work but you just can't compete with their prices even if they're pricing realiatically for where they live.
Fortunately this century also invented noise isolating earphones.
As someone who spends a lot of time in this space, their only "killer app" is automated workload / data distribution management. Which is cool, and hard to get right, but clearly something the cloud vendors and other data players are have taken steps towards / offer more or less the same outcomes.

And in contrast their Silicon Valley roots means a lot of their tooling/UX/data capabilities are ... undercooked. Their Web IDE feels like a throwback to 2003 Hadoop, their ETL capabilities are a joke, they don't support joins in views ...

And they've also squandered some opportunities to actually offer a differentiating "all in one" data processing experience for ad hoc/exploratory, BI/aggregated, and Big Data/AI/ML model crunching. For example, here's their garbage blog post on Spark SQL - https://www.snowflake.com/blog/snowflake-spark-part-2-pushin...

tl;dr when someone writes a Spark job that includes a filter against data in Snowflake, it's more efficient to let Snowflake filter the data before shipping it off to the (much more performant) Spark engine to do the actual analytical pieces of the query plan, instead of just shipping all the data over and letting Spark do the filtering.

Like ... wow, predicate pushdown is your answer?

Contrast with Azure Synapse providing Spark and SQL Server compute in the same environment; Databricks adding Delta Lake capabilities to be more schema-on-write friendly; Dremio building AI into their caching, and Starburst into their workload management ...

Anyway, I don't see any secret sauce, which means it's still just traditional enterprise sales cycles...
Do a search for USC communications professor to understand the previous example.

It's hard to defend insulting a person's intelligence, regardless of the word used. A better example would be referring to something inanimate like a company policy as "retarded". Even better is the purging of words like "master" from software. Or actors having to apologize for their Halloween costumes. It seems like every major comedian is complaining bitterly about political correctness lately, save perhaps for certain partisan ones.

I look at these phone announcements nowadays and realize I don't care about any of their value propositions.

The phones sold 5 or 6 years ago were good enough on any of those metrics by my standards: I look at my 5 year old phone, look at the new ones, and realize that just the hassle of setting a new one up wouldn't be worth it.

Also they need to scrap all the Google software crap like "Google Assistant" out of their marketing. I have yet to meet someone who would consider anything like that a feature. People expect it to be an annoyance at best - that's those who don't give a fuck about privacy.
Yea, after reading more I got a sense of the scale.

Still, I think that's the proper comparison—human processes are the analogue to keeping a blockchain online and mining.
Well, "old" is relative. There is a difference between being 60 and being 90 years old.

ArcGIS - Windows only, has enough issues as it is, virtualizing it doesn't tend to go well. Though you can do something like VMWare Fusion mostly successfully.

MS Office - Yes there are alternatives, but we sill operate primarily in Office, and the alternatives are not perfectly compatible. Especially when collaborating with other companies its important. Teams / O365 are certainly getting better, but still not there yet.

I agree with you, but this is one of those cases where the federal government would have a good reason for temporary overreach. Lots of other free countries have figured this out.
Yeah, seems like that would be a system that can respond to changing conditions - seems like a good thing.
This is not the point I was trying to make. Of course it is important to monitor new scientific evidence that arises and to update the measures and recommendations accordingly. I believe that most functional governments are trying to do exactly that in the current situation.

The issue is that politicians usually don't have the luxury of having lots of high-quality studies available. At the same time, it is impossible not to communicate. Not recommending masks sends the message "masks don't work", for which there is not much evidence either. Unlike scientists, politicians constantly have to make best guesses using the limited information that is available to them.
Yeah, screw this. I already have a 2018 900€ Android TV from Sony and it really frustrating to a point this whole OS just makes me angry. It is really bad.

"Taxi drivers told you what to buy. The shoeshine boy could give you a summary of the day's financial news as he worked with rag and polish. An old beggar who regularly patrolled the street in front of my office now gave me tips and, I suppose, spent the money I and others gave him in the market. My cook had a brokerage account and followed the ticker closely. Her paper profits were quickly blown away in the gale of 1929."
To clarify that is at current exchange range:

$49.99 = £38.72

It's actually twice the price!
I owned the Logitech Google TV which I bought for about $300 early in its lifespan. After about a year they shipped some really bad updates to it that made it so slow that it was essentially unuseable and removed several key features, and then never shipped another update to it again. Logitech and Google both lost interest in it and after not long all of the apps like Netflix and even Google's own Youtube stopped working because of changes to the underlying services.

Will this be different? I doubt it. I'm not putting more money into Google hardware to find out that they'll break it and then lose interest.

Meanwhile my second gen Apple TV is working great.

Why you should care about Robot Framework – Part I
This article is just ridiculous. The click-bait is subtle, but it's definitely there - play off of current political divisions in an attempt to get more eyeballs on this story.

The reason I say that is that the conclusions of the people quoted in the article do not at all follow from what was discovered.

The works were from Hopper's "early" years, but only once or twice was it mentioned that "early" in this case means "when he was a teenager". Every single artist copies work from others when they are teenagers. It's how you learn. I'd be more surprised if he didn't copy works from others when he was that young.

> “What is this Americanness that people are identifying? Where does it come from, is it useful as a term?” — Mr. Shadwick said those are the questions at the heart of his study of Hopper

I'm sorry, but those are frankly stupid questions to ask in light of discovering that a teenage Edward Hopper used reference material in his paintings.
> dang does a way better job than Reddit

How is that a relevant comparison? Reddit is orders of magnitude larger (looks to be around 100 times more active users) and allows users to create public and private subreddits that can easily become echo chambers.

HN moderation is not even in the same ballpark as what Reddit deals with.

To be clear I'm not defending Reddit or even saying they do a good job; I'm just saying the comparison is not fair or useful.
Yeah currently the OC funds are mainly used for expenses, such as a community developer needing a piece of hardware to add or work on support for something, hosting fees, etc.

I think a few bounties have been given out as well, but there isn't an entirely formal process for those yet.
> It is a pretty solid deterrent though.

It absolutely is not. It is completely unenforceable, especially in the case of criminal circumvention, and serves no realistic or practical purpose. Anyone who commits said "crime" in any meaningfully damaging sense and is caught will already be committing the actual crime of infringement, and so tacking circumvention on is largely pointless. It only serves to deter legitimate public research.

Also, the T2 isn't in any way classifiable as "technological measures used to prevent unauthorized access to copyrighted works". This law is meant to apply to copyright-protection DRM and has nothing to do with software security measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to computer systems. Circumventing the protection of those measures is only legal to do on systems on which you are authorized to do so, and is otherwise illegal under separate law.

Google merges Chromecast and Android TV with the “Chromecast with Google TV”

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/09/google-merges-chrome...
It took me a while to realize this was a new device and not an app.
I wonder if another interpretation might be that culture matters regardless what policies get enforced. I hear that people in Sweden stayed at home more and distanced themselves regardless of enforcement. Similarly asian countries likely already had higher acceptance of mask wearing regardless of what was enforced and so on.

The praising of swedish policies seems to largely come from folks in the US wear we have no social/cultural consensuses because the country is so divided
Clearly it's the parrot's fault. \s
Yeah, I'm hoping this year we can make the "identified as spam" numbers approach the "actually spam" numbers. It's a bit of fools' errand, because all the spammer has to do is find an unmaintained repository (or a repository where the maintainer doesn't look at PRs for 7 days). But maybe it'll help make the problem clearer to DigitalOcean.
> give your kids "control". Instead of telling them to do this or that, provide them choices and let them decide for themselves. And let them feel confident and not worry about failing.

This is great, but the _last part_ is so important. A lot of parents try to follow this path, but they end up providing the kids only with false choices. Think "do you want to do your chores or play outside?" where the only answer the parent will actually accept is "do your chores". This is ultimately still parents telling their kids what to do, but framed as though the parents were _helping_ the kids. Children faced with these sorts of questions can grow up always seeking validation, always trying to pick "the right answer" -- leading to failure avoidance, lack of confidence, etc. This can lead to an adult who cannot make choices for themselves (everyone knows people who are always paralyzed by decision-making). Works great for training kids to do well in school, though, since school follows a similar pattern of always having one "correct" answer...

I'm honestly not sure I understand that you're complaining there are no new features whilst saying they need to go back to simple + good + affordable. It's pretty affordable for the CPU, RAM, storage etc. I buy Pixel phones specifically because they don't come with any """useful""" shit. Because useful typically means 500MB of RAM POS bloatware bundled in with the vendor's ROM and buggy home screen replacement.
for most people phones have reached the same peak as laptops: only buy a new one if yours breaks
You’re twisting words to make your point vacuously true. I do not care about changing federal government policy or who runs the federal government. Call that whatever you like, doesn’t mean I have ever received special benefits from the system any more than anyone else. That is my stance because I have better things to do with my time, like being productive.
Haha you sound pretty similar to Norwegians. It is true though. We are underdogs and so we get thrilled when foreigners praise us. It is a bit like hunting for likes on social media.

I also think there are a lot of people in the rat of the world that project on is Nordic countries. They want us to be what they dream of. They want so badly to believe. And we are more than willing to indulge in their fantasy and self deception.

I like the Nordics but we have pros and cons. Nordic life also comes with downsides. Downsides I think many people are not ready for.

Given that the law protecting pre-existing conditions from disqualifying one for healthcare (Covid is a pre-existing condition) is currently up in the courts to be struck down + the highest court is likely to be highly pro-tear down of this law, IMO it is completely reasonable to not want to catch Covid.
I'm not just talking about the "flame-war detection", although that system alone is extremely crude an ineffective (in my opinion).

There are lots of other moderation features -- e.g. shadow bans and automatic vote penalties -- that are completely opaque but turn HN into a strong echo chamber.

I also disagree with your point about Reddit. At least on Reddit you can easily track what was removed (there are entire subreddits dedicated to tracking what's been removed by moderators) and many subreddits provide explanations of why content was removed.
Were you using WSL 1 or 2? WSL 1 networking didn't work the way I expected, but WSL 2 seems to support proper Linux networking since it's just a Linux VM under the hood.

Um, well... coming from Google this is more of a turn-off, not a selling point.
Web Components are a total mess and impossible to build anything of significance with. I can't even imagine how anyone would get anything done with them. It's like an Angular developer, an artist, and a mid-2010s neural net walked into a bar and sketched out a spec by taking shots and passing it clockwise.

Separation of languages is a silly way to separate things. You're building components: logic, structure and style are coupled. SwiftUI adopts the React model, and it succeeds because of it. One can build an app in React/SwiftUI in about 1/2 the time spent "separating concerns", and build systems still extract things out to be clean and performant, there's no sacrifice being made there. CSS is a shitshow and a total mess especially on large teams.

React has nothing to do with how performant an app is and if anything speeds them up compared to anything previously, you may be confusing the power and ease with which it enables development as getting some drunk on building larger apps, but that's only because of how effective it is. Twitter is a good example, great performance. It's way more about the team than the tool, though certainly it will get easier over time to have the defaults be better at optimization for smaller teams who are ambitious.

Most of the super bloated websites I see are basically news sites and other less-techy sites that are stuffed with ad tracking and have no tree shaking. The majority of React apps build with Webpack which supports tree shaking and lazy loading out of the box, plus React makes it possible to pre-render your entire app and deliver it as HTML that hydrates.
Did Google manage to convince Netflix to allow them to monitor what you watch on Netflix? This is one of the biggest holes in Apple TV (the app, on Apple TV, the box) - it knows most of what you watch and can make recommendations for Hulu, HBO, Prime, etc. and manage your queue except for Netflix.

Ok, maybe I'm the only one, but I'm actually excited about this.

It appears to be an aggregation service. Instead of individually searching across N platforms for content (hulu, disney+, youtube, crunchyroll, netflix, etc), you can now just use a single app (Google TV) which will allows you to search and stream across all platforms you are subscribed to.

Furthermore you can cast stuff directly to chromecast from Google TV as well as watch locally on your device.
