Czech Hussites did just that. Using primitive firearms and a clever strategy.
Simplicity is what strikes the brightest of minds, some prefer to have simple shortcuts and a tone of sh*tware that prevent the user from knowing how to use it's tools (git, configuring an IDE), some prefer to have something they can master over the years, is standard in the industry, and that doesn't induce tons of un-controlled behaviours.
This is nice and all but they need to fix things like alt-tabbing in an out of a game. Many games just crash. I know it sounds dumb but sometimes when organising a game or using discord you need to alt-tab from the game to the chat app. This almost never happens with Windows unless the games are old.

Also performance when streaming via discord or OBS significantly drops the framerate even on games my rig can play at 60FPS (while streaming) at 4k without any problems. Amid Evil for example with start stuttering when streaming in Linux but is 100% fine in Windows.

Many people say these games work fine but in my experience they don't. I am normally running with whatever is the latest version of proton valve is bundling with. Generally though this maybe because UHD is a total mess on Linux.
I'm not sure what would be accomplished if the source leaked. Someone would still need to maintain both the client and now a new set of servers. This would be difficult given that Microsoft would almost certainly use whatever means they could to stop this from happening.
Industrial espionage is real. There are many companies who are concerned about this and take active steps to keep data secret who would likely not have approved zoom use if they'd known e2e encryption wasn't to the level they were told.

Some folks are concerned with more than stability and ease of use.
Fun fact, the original Skype developers also developed the great (for its time) P2P filesharing app/network Kazaa/FastTrack.
Can you speak about Benfords law or post data plots on Parler?

Unfortunately you can no longer do that on HN even...
Make it a 4 star reviews. I bet people who read reviews will skip the 5 stars and check the rest. I know I do that.
You don't have to win open battles. You just have to make it not worthwhile to keep fighting. Think Vietnam war. Also, in this scenario the army will not be united. In our civil war, many army units joined the rebels.
Guilt (fear) and feeling sorry for someone else (empathy), are two distinct feelings.

The problem is the sociopath behaviour and attitudes, that will project all their bad feelings unto others. The sociopath won't acknowledge their own state, so will blame others, also knowingly and silently for personal gain.

The remedy is radical honesty and working with oneself. Nobody else can do the work for someone, but breaking the patterns can be inspiring.

Don't let authority gain undue power over your lives. Some day you will regret it.
> When I was demonstrating emacs to some co-workers last week, I opened up code in three different languages and pointed out how the comments were all the exact same color.

I don't get this. That is normal in any modern editor. What is so special about this?
I can understand that. But in my mind, if things are separate enough that I want multiple commits, then I would work on them separately. If a feature needs A, but A needs B, then I would work on B, commit that and only then work on A. Sometimes working on A will cause me to change the committed B part a little, but that's fine. At the moment in time that I committed B it was a perfectly reasonable solution that I can revert back to.

You know what, typing it out I can totally see why people do it the other way. A matter of personal preference probably.

You're talking about the current president of the united states as if he's some unknown whistleblower.

We concentrate on making it a general purpose calculation engine and bring value by adding more formula functions (now there are about ~200 of them).

And we will integrate it with our other product, Handsontable.

It should be fairly easy to make any integration. If not, then we will be happy to help.

So far I have mostly seen people integrate it with vanilla JS and Node. Any framework should be possible, as long as the data CRUD operations are performed through the HyperFormula API.

I'm having the same issue on my PC. It runs multiple OSes and I'd like to share the Steam library. I've settled for Ext4FS, which works on all the Linux distributions, but not on Windows. I wonder, has anyone tried to get this to work? There's at least 3 options: Ext4FS (Ext3/Ext2), NTFS, and Btrfs (which has a Windows driver as well).
No. that's not misinformation, that's your perception.

This is an important point. There are very few "objective" truths in politics, politics is mainly just people arguing over their personal preferences.

The problem is those who hold power like to label other preferences as wrong and often try to suppress them.

I'm not sure truth is protectable in most political contexts. What does truth mean when we're dealing with conversions involving subjective preferences?
Do you mean because of the constant censorship and groupthink? Like how its wrong to discuss data anomalies of the current election?

It's interesting to note that the improved algorithm also has a downside. With the VisiCalc algorithm, it is possible to model iterative fixpoint computations, so you could have a process that "converges" to a value, even having cycles in the computation graph. This is not true for the topological-sort based variants.

All of the research I've read connects this effect to paraphrasing but, it doesn't have to be, at least for me.

When I get the pen in my hand, everything changes, incl. the way I think.

Also while unrelated, if I'm working on something in English, my whole data processing pipeline switches to English. Everything returns to my native language when I finish. Strange and fascinating.

> I've ditched pen and paper in the past because it was too slow for me....

Same for me. I've gone through that phase too. Tried to be too efficient but found out that excessive speed kills (concentration, in-depth thinking and the broad perspective). Then I've returned to my old ways for thinking.

However, getting used to something like Evernote and Trello for longer term planning complemented writing and supercharged both, at least for me.
What capitalists seem to love more is buying the good business and making it crap too so one has no choice but to buy a product that will break sooner.
I think that that software industry philosophy now applies to many other things. I guess because most things now run software, from cars to farmers milk tanks. But it's probably not the only reason.
I've actually seen quite a few updates from twitter the last couple of years, most of them quality of life related.

Not a lot of new features (although let's not forget they increased tweet size) but personally I don't mind that. It'd be like complaining HN is not getting enough new features.
They will need vaccine passports to fly.
Why is Secondary Market an important part after fundraising completion
Good question... No idea about the same level, I reckon it would be decently quick (5 years maybe? less than a decade imo) if the right people are alive.

If not, there's still knowledge of older, but decent processes like 130nm/90nm, which should be doable pretty fast...
Yes, although it also comes with the point that there could be outcomes other than an element of the set you’re trying to engineer: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/5782108/17/Harry-Potter-and-the-M...
Yes, they did. Lot of physical demanding tasks, but no, they were in a almost constant state of sub nutrition to be stronger that a modern working class person.
Twitter alternatives will all fail because they try to be an application for millions. They see Twitter and see the volume of users so build something for the numbers and hope that they are less bad.

But Twitter and every other thing that has grown big has 1) started small 2) was not initially created to be big and 3) was attractive to use.
I had the same thought in my use of Gather and I think there are (at least) two separate scenarios.

One is when someone is alone. Are they actually still physically present? Are they waiting for someone? In person, I can see if someone is actively scanning the room and appear open to a conversation.

The second is when a group of people are already engaged in a conversation. Are they discussing something a bit more private? Are they speaking my language? Do they appear open to having more people join the conversation. In real life, I can hear parts of a conversation from a distance and look at how those in the conversation are positioning their bodies relative to one another to make some judgements on this.
Who holds the secrets/documentation to the chip designs themselves? I reckon without the right experts, it would be very hard. Plus, Intel uses equipment from third parties, too.

It's like the Saturn V - the documentation/blueprints/etc was massive, secret, spread all over, making it basically impossible to recreate the rocket just by "following instructions", replacement stuff would have to be recreated from scratch.
> and it became rather clear it wasn’t particularly worth it.

Wasn't worth it with the guidance systems of the time.

There's a reason everyone and their brother has or is developing a hypersonic anti ship missile.
I think the group writing the HoTT book (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy_type_theory ) probably come close, though.

A Conversation with Eleanor Roosevelt (1959) [video]
On a side note, there was a workaround found for the backdoor: since it was using DH key agreement without digital signatures, both sides could use proxies that each generated a secret w, raised the outgoing DH public key to the power of w, and raised the incoming DH public key to the same power w. Alice's public key is g^x, where x is known to the government but is otherwise locked away deep in tamper-resistant hardware in the Clipper chip. Alice's proxy raises her (g^x)^w mod p = g^(xw) mod p before it hits the wire. Likewise, Bob's proxy raises (g^y)^v mod p = g^(y v) mod p. Alice's proxy raises Bob's seen public key to her secret exponent g^(y * v)^w mod p = g^(y * v * w) mod p before sending it to her clipper chip, and the tamper-resistant hardware calculates g^(y * v * w) ^ x mod p = g^(x * y * w * v) mod p. Bob's clipper chip likewise is given 9^(x * w)^v mod p and calculates g^(x * w)^v^y mod p = g^(x * y * w * v) mod p. Both chips calculate the same shared secret Skipkack key to encrypt the keystream. A government wiretapper knows x and y and sees g^(xw) and g^(yv), but can't calculate g^(xywv) unless they can compute discrete logarithms mod p. As a bonus, they'd get perfect forward secrecy whereas fixed DH public keys don't provide forward secrecy.

Authentication worked by the phone displaying a hash of the session key, and the two users were expected to read the key hash to each other and recognize each other's voices. If they were being MitM'd, they wouldn't have identical session keys. Alice and Bob's authentication procedure would then still work just fine, since they'd still have identical session keys.

If the government were wiretapping Alice, they'd of course detect the tampering because they'd be getting garbage data/failed checksums, but otherwise, the tampering would be undetectable, and Alice and Bob get hardware-accelerated 80-bit Skipjack encryption of their data stream, back when 56-bit DES was generally considered reasonably safe and 80-bit symmetric keys were considered sufficient for data classified SECRET and below.

(Or maybe the tampering could be detected when the wiretappers went to look up Alice's fixed DH public key and couldn't find it in their escrow database... I forget if the escrow worked by having a database or if the chip encrypted the DH secret key with a master key and transmitted it at the start of every session. In any case, the whole thing wasn't that well thought out. It's also possible the DH exchange was signed using a malleable signature scheme using the same prime as DH, allowing Alice to raise the DH public key to a known-only-to-Alice power and calculate the power needed to raise the signature in order to still get a valid signature on the modified DH public key. Clearly, I forget the exact details.)
Wasn’t Skype pre-MS P2P, not server based?
Same. Punishing tool usage is a really dumb mistake. You want your tool to be used all the time and become indispensable, so you can charge a high monthly fee for it. Corporations are used to and even expect fixed monthly fees. Pernosco doesn't at all understand how large firms work, and what it takes to get a budget for developer productivity tools.

Also due to deception, it auto reinstalled on macs until they were caught.
My view is that nobility were really like gangs that controlled and fought over territory and extorted the common people.

So the current nobility are really just the heirs of criminal associations. They shouldn't have a place in the modern world.

From https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/15/oracles-larry-ellison-calls-... :

Along with is growth in users, Zoom has seen concerns spike about how it is protecting users’ privacy. The Senate advised members not to use the service, according to Ars Technica and the New York City Department of Education banned its use for remote learning. A group of state attorneys general are probing the company after one of the officials was “zoombombed” on a forum about the Census, meaning the chat box was filled with profanities.

Ellison’s support could prove useful to Zoom as it wades through the new challenges of becoming a consumer tech company. Ellison is an influential billionaire with ties to the Trump administration. He has supported Trump’s campaign and even told the President about an anti-malaria drug Trump ended up touting as a possible treatment for the coronavirus, according to The New York Times. Oracle CEO Safra Catz served on Trump’s transition team in 2016.
Is this the reason stock price going down? or Covid vaccine?
To add to this: we've already seen high-budget games with worse performance on Direct3D 12 than on Direct3D 11. Making good use of the new APIs is no small task.
I think it also exists in western cultures, especially for immigrants. The way the immigrants (from poorer countries) dress, the phones they use etc can help locals differentiate between "good" immigrants and "bad" immigrants.
I'm an old school developer, but really hate the complexity and syntax of git.

Therefore, I use the GUI that comes with Visual Studio Code and the "Git Graph" plugin.

I work with juniors, which for some reason always want to do things in the command line. A lot of times I have to help them out with git issues, and can always to that using the GUI. When I see them work in the command line, it's always so slow for them to type in things.

Want to switch branches? Click lower left and select your branch.
Want to sync with server? Click lower left on the sync icon
Want to commit? Just type your commit message and CTRL-Enter. Stop wasting time adding files on the command line.
Want to prune your origin branches? Click on the Git menu and prune pull.

For this last one, I always need to look up the syntax when doing it on the command line.

Git is already complex enough (compared to SVN), so if you're junior, for god sake use the GUI menu!
AMD, most likely. There's a lot of benchmark comparisons between Linux and Windows here [1].

Debugging in VS actually works pretty well already, the msvc target generates PDB files. It's what I use when need to attach a debugger to something.
Actual language support would be really nice, though. Hopefully MS are already working on this.
Incompetence? That Zoom team has been working on video communication for many many years over in China.
That's the matter of your intuition itself. Being familiar with editor modes concept and the idea of editor commands (e.g. "actions" in IntelliJ Idea or "command palette" in VSCode) - you can figure out how to quit quite quickly.
Until 2017 this actually was a rule (not a legally binding, just the "honor code") for media, but this got changed after the AfD and other Nazis whined for years that police and media would not "tell the truth" about migrant crimes, "suppress" or "hide" them (https://www.migazin.de/2017/03/24/presserat-aendert-richtlin...).

A very sad day for our society.
At least it includes the helpful advice at the end about making sure to sacrifice the same eye to the laser gods whenever a sacrifice is required.

I guess this goes well with the unreasonably large Russian ruby laser rods that show up on ebay...
Very great work.
I'm also interested to see this patterns "unrolled".
Not on a circle but on timeline (like spectrogram). Where x-axis is time and y-axis is unrolled pattern (0..2pi).
Ask HN: Do you have a bias for IndieMaker products?
I've been in the IndieHacker circles for the past year or so. I have to say, I love the support the community gives to small makers (who are often solving small but substantial problems).

My question is, do you consciously choose an indie maker over a larger software company? If you do, is this because you can often reach the founder of the SaaS you are using to solve problems you might experience in a product or is there another reason?

I've started to see this behaviour in myself (maybe because I am trying to be one). I'd love to hear from you all.
> Biggest problem with IDEs is they are a big in-your-face hurricane of features that is often too much.

This is another aspect. They suck up attention, which is a scarce resource. It is just like you start a web browser to look up some documentation, and it shows a dozen of interesting sites you might want to read because the browser developers got some money from these sites, or whatever.

Good software typically has a sparse feeling (depending on which are its intended users), in the sense that it does not distract.

But this is just a symptom of a bigger issue that they are not really friendly to the developer.

You are missing the point. The games do not work.

As you said some install Kernel Level drivers (I believe this is a Ring-0 but I am not an expert in such things) as a Anti-cheat mechanism.

These do not work with Wine/Proton. e.g. Doom Eternal worked fine until the first patch and then didn't once the anti-cheat was installed (for the non-existant multiplayer community). Then they removed it only after the fanbase heavily downvoted the game on the steam store and constantly bitched to bethesda about it.

However most companies bet on most players just putting up with the bullshit to play the game and they are normally right.

I don't drop £700 on a GPU to worry about software freedoms. I buy it to play games. If I get fed up of messing about (I am the guy that runs unironically runs Arch on my desktop when not gaming and OpenBSD on my office laptop), the vast majority of players just won't even bother.

The best solution I've found is GPU passthrough (which a friend of mine has setup and I am going to try in the coming weeks) but that has it caveats and tbh Dual booting and just putting up with BS is just easier than trying to fight it.
Yes, I phrased it that way quite on purpose.

I'd prefer not to get Covid19, but the real worrying thing about it is the potential for a worse disease. Say it's almost as transmissible but much more deadly. How will we respond?

I'm sure many people would do more to protect themselves, but I wonder how deadly it would have to be for some people, and how deadly would it have to be to make community minded cooperation the obvious path (this is a reasonable description of mask wearing…).
Too bad your opinion doesn’t matter. That is how this stuff works, you are not the first to complain, they’ve heard every argument you can come up with before and they don’t care.

The older I get the more absurd the years of my life wasted in schooling become.

Being tested by people who mostly have never even worked the job you're supposedly preparing for using methods that don't represent the way you'll actually be working seems a complete waste of time and money. Increasingly the more talented individuals I'm working with in my job I see more and more that never even went through any of that in the first place.

I can imagine a way that it would be valuable but really you'd have to start from scratch, there is too much cruft.
