True, but in a lot of ways their vbucks/robux/etc. thing is equivalent of anything else that is paid for that has no physical or value going forward. Do I really need to do anything ppv or movies on demand? It's fleeting enjoyment much like those are.

And in the case of Fortnite and Roblox, the games are free so it does make sense to pay at least some into it (there's no such thing as a free lunch) and thankfully none of the things you pay for give the player an advantage so it is mostly what elicits an "I want my avatar to look like this" reaction. Plus, it teaches limits and in the case of my daughter, she weighs what she really wants in the game vs just seeing something shiny. In Adopt Me, that is mostly ride/fly potions for pets she has raised and turned to neon via raising 4 and merging.

I do, however, think there should be limits on it. But I think lessons can be learned from the experience all the same.

Gamut is orthogonal to dynamic range in many three dimensional color spaces. A wide gamut CRT will tend to have less dynamic range than a wide gamut OLED. Dynamic range is a description of contrast. Gamut is a description of color.
IMO this is about as tame as it gets when it comes to advertising. You can switch it off, and there's no tracking.

I hope they make enough from it to make a good case for tracking-free advertising. (And not that they end up wishing they were a bit less 'privacy-centered'.)

While I agree with you, I’m afraid that say a blacksmith could have made very similar arguments in the beginning of the industrialisation. At that time he was a skilled independent worker. His work conditions eventually became much worse, but the productivity increased enormously.
Yikes. Can you provide any detail on OS, browser, etc.?
I worked for a top-20 Fortune company (granted not software but we were still glued to our laptops the whole day) and the environment and equipment were exactly like OP described.
How did you find out about this?
"But remember that making something for yourself is just a heuristic to guide you in finding an idea. In the actual execution, you need to focus on users. You need to understand what they want, and be fanatically dedicated to making them happy."

This point aside, I haven't written anything in 2 years, so it's possible I'm out of shape :)
But this is only a procedure for the customer. We'd hope that their employees have internal rules that are just as strict for interacting with internal IT, but can't be sure.

The rules for the customer don't matter much is it get hold of a company account which can make the right change.

Re. Cryptocurrency, I'd be really nervous implementing that in production. The current registers may not be perfect, but there's an escape hatch where things go wrong, you contact the right people and changes get reverted. With coin based DNS, the right hack may mean you lose access to your domain forever and there's no rollback possible.
My biggest hurdle as a mostly back end engineer with a shaky but workable knowledge of react is creating a page that doesn't entirely break moving from desktop to mobile. Like most things today, there are hundreds of "valid" ways to do this with each JS tutorial / dev seeming to have their own preferences that are seemingly completely arbitrary to me.

Excited to learn more about this! Dig the design for his page as well - wish I could hire a designer / dev hybrid for $300-400 to make a single page site like this! (inquiries welcome)
I think it's different because internet is literally interconnecting devices, some of which might not even be running an OS per say.

Whereas Apple can release a new device on new OS with some custom hardware/drivers and as long as the internet + web parts are compatible with those interfaces there is no issue for customers.

Maybe you're right though, but also isn't that what Posix was meant for?

Also for things like Wi-Fi, they define those standards but the underlying vendor implementation is totally custom and can get really ugly still, just like an OS.
Hahaha you think technical business interviews are more challenging than se interviews. Do an interview for Jane street or two sigma :) I have all the cracking the case interview books by people who go ran mckinsey and other firms, it’a a joke
I have this same problem, i never use the second screen. I got my self a 27inch 4k monitor. I can have windows next to each other if i need to. more then enough space for my self. Anything else i would need to move everything to far back and I would start to need my glasses, or like you said constantly be moving my head
Thanks Breck!
In addition to being ugly, this sentiment is pretty misguided. The selection pressure is far too mild to have any evolutionary impact.

To whit: covid selects primarily against individuals beyond their reproductive age, selects far too small of the population (unless we see these deaths continue for decades), and is only mildly selecting for anti mask populations.
One of the best things I had in High School was a teacher who taught us basic system administration. He had us all go through the process of installing Windows XP from scratch, including service packs 1 & 2. Then he had us install PC-BSD, just to see how much better life is outside the Windows ecosystem.

I was already a Linux geek by then, but there are plenty of others who found that class to be an eye opening experience.
Can't help but note the description of a meeting between a strong, tall and healthy indigenous man versus short, unhealthy European explorer. I recall this being noted in a university course I took on early French Canadian history as well. Very soon the health of early colonists also eclipsed those back home.

While those in France needed the permission of the Seigneur(Lord) to kill a deer, and meat was a expensive food, First Nations and Colonists had an abundance of easily available game and fish, and had much more freedom to claim it for themselves.

(This is not to say that First Nations didn't have concepts of exclusive hunting/farming areas handed down through family and political ties, but in general, there was a lot more food to be had in NA!)
I see "Looking for a cofounder" regularly posted on HN, often with no reply. I think there's a demand.
> But a big pain is to maintain your database code, by example the version control of your functions.

The solution I came with is to have a git repository in which each schema is represented by a directory and each table, view, function, etc… by a .sql file containing its DDL. Every time I make a change in the database I make the change in the repository. It doesn't automate anything, it doesn't save me time in the process of modifying the database, it's actually a lot of extra work, but I think it's worth it. If I want to know when, who, why and how a table has been modified over the last 2 years, I just check the logs, commits dates, authors and messages, and display the diffs If I want to see exactly what changed.
Which country doesn't have access to SSDs?
Ask HN: Are backlinks so important to rank first in Google results?
Sitting in a meeting with marketers, hearing only about back links, guest posts, outreach and so on. Basically everyone is trying to get a back link at any cost, to promote their product. At first it seemed like if you have more links you have valuable information. Now if you have more links, you are just good at working hard and/or cheating. Thanks Google and Marketers for making information more junk everyday. You guys already ruined Quora with pseudo-helpful answer just to get a back link.

Doesn't it ruin whole idea of finding information? I feel like bunch of people found a way how to hack Google ranking and trying to out compete each other by cheating. Google doesn't care because they are making money out of it.
I spent a year building an app from scratch in pure SwiftUI.
The first few month were difficult because of the bugs and missing doc.
But then it got refined and enhanced. I could do almost everything I wanted with it and this years release brought well waited features.

Thanks to
Big Mountain Studio’s work on documentation and lots of blogs with nice articles (swift with majid) it’s possible to get a good grasp on the subject.

It’s definitely the future and a real joy to work with, definitely so in new projects.

The app I built is bulletweek.
Well, it’s a damn inconvenient truth for us, the whites. Although I immigrated to the US about 20 years ago I somehow identify with the western colonizers, after all I came to a country largely shaped by them. So at least one thing I can do is to acknowledge the history of the original landowners. Another thing is to point out to their philosophy and their connection to the land underneath them. Us, westerners may he the heroes of industrialization but we may as well have the most toxic culture to this planet
I got it working now, but it's still often giving nonsensical answers for simple queries like a for loop.
At least one of his points is already addressed by the twitter thread he links: Debians bug tracker behaves correctly, Gmail just ignores the information included in the email headers to group them.

So he has been told that this is a Gmail issue, but insists on using it. Meanwhile he complains that the rsync package maintainer is blocking his changes out of personal preference. Double standards much?
I used to publish some math-heavy posts on medium (complete with equation images!) before moving it all over to gitlab pages with the hugo static site generator, and equations rendered with katex. If the author is reading this, the translation process didn't take very long (maybe a day) and I'm very happy with the results; compare:

I'm generally allergic to tweaking things & general command-line bullshit but the whole process was surprisingly smooth. Readers don't have to deal with popup & tracker bullshit (except for youtube, who have endeavored to make it impossible to embed videos with issuing tracking cookies), and it feels nice to have much more control over what makes it into the final product.
Just think, things like today's latest and hippest deep learning tools are possibly going to look like legacy skills long before most of us 'old timers' retire (do old coders ever really retire?)
Thanks for your comment.

I am relatively new to HN, but I've seen similar posts on IndieHackers and reddit.
B cells also do something called Immunoglobulin class switching to change the structure of antibodies they produce when they encounter their antigen. Different types of antibodies interact with receptors on other cells in the immune system to facilitate the immune response.

There are definitely tradeoffs and I suspect that having chosen software, you might have gotten cabin fever before you were 20 years in.

With software, you can tweak the rules that create a forest and press a button to have - in your hand - a board that’s better than the last: solid, straight, and knot-free.

These are things that take decades in simpler disciplines.
Tax on using roads make sense as road maintenance costs money that has to come from somewhere.

But climate change is also a question of timing and transition, EV will be taxed at some point what about timing and message:

- do we want to replace fossil fuel for transportation?
- if so how fast do we want to do it?

Taxing EV right now might not be the best idea...

EV is also less imports, less pollution (including less noise) so it will have some net positive budgetary effect.
Decentralized naming is going to be critical to an open internet. We've already seen fights over names by corporations and governments.

Decentralization does not imply cryptocurrency but you do need (1) some proof of work to reduce squatting the whole namespace, (2) atomic-ish transactions to ensure one owner of a name, and (3) lots of malicious participants.
Instead of compromizing cryptocurrency services, they support paying for their services in cryptocurrency. That's arguably a better strategy for engaging with the target audience of crypto enthusiasts ;)
Would love to see this turned around into a generative model.
I have learned more about Kevin and feel bad for bringing up the heckling thing now. I would ignore that part of what I said.
I've seen parking closed or limited here and there. And some Mass Audubon properties, for example, may still be by appointment only. But, yes, in general I'm not aware of general trail closures in the Northeast.
There's been talk about having the file picker dialog reside outside the specific app sandbox, and the app only receiving (revocable) capability to act on whatever the user authorized.

That is, on file save the app would be handed essentially an open, writable and closeable, file descriptor -- the app might not even know the name of the file it's writing to.

On file open, the app might be handed an open, read-only, file descriptor.

Making such a mechanism usable for both the end user and the app developer gets complicated for sure, but the idea of not just permanently allowing "read+write ~/Photos forever" is definitely out there.
Engineering talent likely falls on some sort of distribution like most everything else in the universe.

Whether it's normally distributed or not I don't know. Some of the variables that underpin engineering skill are independent, but software careers have a tonne of path dependence where the types of software and problems you work on feed into the types of software and problems that you get to work on in future and that has a big impact on your skills and that particular variable isn't independent.

I still work with the assumption that the distribution is normal just cos it's easy to conceptualize. So maybe it makes more sense to think about the 2, 3 and 4 sigma engineers than the "10x" engineer.
Strewth, bloody, rooted: is there a quintessentially Australian swear word?
I get another popup in Facebook that only has an opt-in no opt out.

I've screenshottet it and it might very well become my second actual gdpr complaint.

My first was a few days ago when "HP smart" demanded with no workaround that I hand over my email address to print on my own old printer.
> In the past decade, electric guitar sales have plummeted, from about 1.5 million sold annually to just over 1 million.

As a guitarist, the number of new guitars, especially electric, sold always amazes me. Electric guitars are a pretty durable product. Short of leaving them outside or dropping one a fairly significant distance it's pretty tough to destroy even a marginally decent instrument. Additionally, the technology has changed significantly over the years. At its core, your average electric guitar is nearly identical to its late 1950's counterpart.

If we're selling a million guitars a year during what's considered a slowdown, that means there have probably been well over 50 million guitars sold since 1985. A lot of these were cheap junk and some were destroyed, but there are still an incredible numbers of decent quality instruments out there and it seems like the number of guitar players/owners is not growing (more likely shrinking), where are all these new guitars going?

My general impression is that a small portion of guitarists are collecting large (10+) collections, but that may just be based on social media making such collections more obvious.
You feel like the one missing the point here. The discussion is about a change within the Google product line, what do Slack and Zoom have to do with it?

I get the impression you may be treating this as "what are the leading products in each niche for the overall ecosystem," but that doesn't really have anything to do with what's being discussed.
> majority of the popular vote in the US voted for someone that does believe in science

Why would Trump support accelerated vaccines if he didn’t believe in COVID and science?
My personal experience: after working on existing UIKit application for over a month or so, I spent a couple of weeks trying SwiftUI out in last summer, by first watching most of the Stanford's great SwiftUI iOS lectures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIYdYpPXil4&list=PLpGHT1n4-m...

With the little experience I got, I agree with mikenew's comment. SwiftUI felt like an expressive way to define UI elements, but I had some small weird details that took long time to solve, perhaps because I defined something in a way that wasn't supposed to. Ultimately, I mostly got the code to look in the way I preferred, but for example regarding animation or gestures there were some problematic details I didn't want to spend time to get exactly right.

Overall I enjoyed it much more than UIKit but I would hesitate to use it in the future in a professional setting without properly investigating how mature it is at that point of time.

If anyone is interested, here's the Shogi app I developed, intended for two local two players, and as a reminder I am quite new to the iOS ecosystem: https://github.com/EvidentSolutions/toodim
Your comment made me laugh! I can imagine a machine learning model would derive the same meaning.
a good mask will help when you're occasionally visiting an infectious patient in a hospital. There is nothing, short of full bio-defense suit, that can help in the densely packed Moscow (or any other large Russian city) subway or bus, and the people in the country have no resources for any prolonged lockdowns. Add to that that the top people in Russia, like in any other country, receive highly personalized healthcare, and that means that they have practically no risk of death from Covid as it is a very treatable given enough resources (antibody injection, etc. under very personalized treatment resulting in just few days of "bad flu" - i.e. while infection-wise Covid doesn't distinguish much, outcome-wise it is very socially unequal decease).
Someone has ported TianoCore to powerNV, but I've never looked into it. You could replace the hostboot payload with any binary, it's basically just an ELF file with a payload delivered, an initramfs in the case of skiboot/petitboot.

Not a lot of advantages in UEFI over petitboot, though.

Edit: here it is. https://github.com/andreiw/ppc64le-edk2 mocks the presence of ACPI tables using the equivalent OPAL calls.
Plus amazing views.
One must ask, “do I need the leverage tech provides to live a well lived life?”
Where it works, SwiftUI is indisputably the most compact and maintainable form of data bindings and auto-layout that you have. It should be used immediately for those working cases.

It is therefore critical to also learn the bridges (e.g. how to get a platform-specific view or controller out of SwiftUI) because you will also want those somewhere.

Note, I have seen Herculean attempts on blogs, etc. to shoehorn ungodly amounts of hacks into SwiftUI objects to get certain behaviors that don’t exist yet; That Is Wrong. Do not fight this framework; either use a native element with full functionality and a bridge, or a succinct SwiftUI description. It is clear that “someday” everything will have a nice SwiftUI version and it isn’t worth faking it for now wherever it doesn’t work yet.
This is a good point, a lot of people are nostalgic for office life, but if those coworkers are never there what socializing are you going to be doing?
Do you have a list? I'm interested.

I was surprised that even in 2020 you have people making up straight lies about covid, while I believed that the wild theories that people had about the plague back in the day (e.g. the one that blamed the jews for it) were born from the fact that these people haven't went to school and were badly educated. But now they can write and relevant parts of the population claim similar things. And COVID is way less deadly than the bubonic plague is. This is a pandemic in easy mode. We would have been in for much worse had it been like the bubonic plague.

> That is the price of diversity.

> We also lack the social trust and cohesion of much less diverse countries like Japan or the Scandinavian countries at whose social welfare programs we marvel.

> Personally, I'll take the jazz music and snowboarding even if it means fighting over what should be basic components of the welfare state.

So what I took you to be saying is that "jazz music and snowboarding" come from a diversity present because of the lack of social programs like welfare. What "diversity" is that if not that which includes poverty?

What I'm trying to say is that it's ridiculous to assert that "jazz music and snowboarding" come from the lack of a welfare state. Nowhere do you illustrate how we can't have both.
Good thought, but that might incentivize not replacing worn tires
I'm in no way responding to the blog, as you can see in my 4 points. I'm addressing the comments here.

Every time similar content is shared here there's a number of people making exaggerated claims around Debian being dead or in deep trouble.

The other comments accusing me of doing damage control are a good example.

I recommend attending Debian events in person (once COVID is gone) to see that 99% of interactions between people are very friendly.

God forbid that the rich be asked to pay anything at all for this incredible and unnecessary gift the people give them? What would make more sense would be targeted debt relief indexed on familial wealth, student earnings, and the institution's median outcome for the given degree program.

Is there any room for accountability, or is the indiscriminate dumping of money out of a helicopter the only solution we're allowed to consider?
Social Darwinism, alive and well on HN...
JEDEC specifications for DDR4 top out at DDR4-3200, and anything beyond that is vendor overclocking with whatever settings that particular vendor deems is suitable.

While there's nothing technically preventing vendors from factory-overclocking ECC memory the same way, ECC's (perceived) main audience is reliability-critical systems, and so it doesn't make sense for vendors to market a feature that their target audience wouldn't appreciate.

What you can do is get two 32 GB DDR4-3200 memory modules (example: https://www.crucial.com/memory/server-ddr4/mta18asf4g72az-3g...), and then overclock them yourself to 3600 MT/s. As with any overclock, your results may vary, but that's also the case with factory overclocking as well.
How to Set Up Liquibase in Spinnaker (Armory – YC W17)
The Q45 was their first vehicle, in ~1989. As far as I can tell, their second car was the M30, followed by the J30. Those were different (size) classes, so, historically, they've always used different letters to designate different models. While the QX4 (SUV) came out in, what, the late 90s, and ALSO began with a Q, it's never been a historical convention to just name all of their vehicles with a Q. There were only 2 "Q" vehicles, and one was actually a "QX".

I suppose you can call the Q superfluous, and then point to BMW if you want another company that just names cars by number, but at least there's a well-understood history and progression between the 3 series and the 5 series and the 7 series, but I have no idea what makes a Q60 (big number!) a sporty coupe that used to be a G35/G37 and now the QX30 is a small SUV-like-thing, that's, I guess, the size of older G35s but that means the Q60 somehow jumped 3 places in the tens column for no apparent reason.
