Ask HN: Where does one search development advice these days?
In the good old days (at least since online became a thing) I would have turned to the Usenet and would have got more or less meaningful responses within a couple of hours. When the Usenet started dwindling in relevance web forums took its place and eventually StackOverflow. But now it seems all these three places have become irrelevant

* The Usenet has become utterly irrelevant

* Equally web forums

* StackOverflow has archival value but for the rest it is a wide desert of 0-answer questions

* In my current case (an Android issue) even Google's own forum (https://groups.google.com/g/android-developers) appears to be only a honeypot to train their spam protection :)

So is there a place to turn to these days when someone is hitting a roadblock with a specific development issue or have they completely disappeared?

Thanks
Any idea what scientifically is actually happening?

That sounds good!

How do I do this? What's transcript?
Modern phones have done a tremendous job of taking the thrill out of various troublesome activities.

You could let someone else play a game, you could let someone else risk STDs, someone else do the risky heists and killing etc all while watching from the comfort of your couch, living your life as a voyeur.

IMO that definitely means folks are getting in lesser trouble: I think it draws a lot of poison out.

Now is that a good thing: I don’t know. I like the above benefits, who wouldn’t appreciate a docile community! I don’t like the fact that it is drawing away the youth from action. Yes it went wrong in oh so many places, but it is what brought us here. I hate stagnation. Anyway - just me rambling.
HN to me at least is an place I actively go towards when I have the time and I want to. I don't believe in dogmatism, if you want to reduce the impact social media has on you, just reduce your usage. You don't have to become a recluse and you won't become a heretic for going to social media once in a while, if you make it a conscious choice.

Just like that if you want to eat less meat because of the environment, just eat less meat. If you eat selected meat once in a while on selected occasions this won't make you a heretic, because you are still reaching your goal of reducing your impact on the environment etc.

The people who say "if you want to reduce X you are a heretic if you don't abstain 100% from using X" are projecting their own lack of dicipline onto others — they feel they wouldn't have the discipline to do it, but also realise it would be good for them to have it. So they have to invent an excuse why this is a goal that cannot be reached, not worth reaching etc.

Being a free thinking and acting person fundamentally means also to notice when you are manipulating yourself by making your thinking fit the image you already have of the world. I for example often fall into the trap of "if I can't do it perfectly it might not be worth doing at all", and because I know that, I try to work against it.

So what your comment does here is undermining another people's effort to be in control of their social media environment. Why you deem such an act necessary should be something you should know yourself.
Well said. I simply don’t understand the amount of people defending the gameplay/story/“open world” here on HN while it’s receiving scathing reviews on Steam and Metacritic. Maybe game players actually more casual here than on those game-centric platforms?
Maybe one easy right morally correct answer would have been to have not given manpads to the Taliban in the 80's?
Impossible question, it depends what your app does and what your users do. Even within the same company, 1000 concurrent users of Google Maps will use completely different resources than 1000 concurrent users of gmail. It'll even change over time for the same app and same users, as their behaviour or the world around them changes.
Really? I've heard nothing but good stuff story wise though I've deliberately avoided spoilers.
Oh zero. Even when I said it I fully understood that it wasn’t true. I was just venting.

A lot of people won’t fly on these planes, but far from a majority I’m quite sure.

Those same people will also be aghast if something goes wrong in the future as “they” were supposed to have made sure the planes were safe.

People still want to believe in The Magical Them.
This. Devs nowadays seem to be just NPCs, they jump on every bandwagon, it's very depressing. But this is the same with rest of society, groupthink is becoming a real problem. Unwanted opinions, thoughts are scrubbed everywhere.
I am in the middle of setting the foundations of a new product project going DDD, CQRS and Event Sourcing so imagine my surprise when I see a book about... that.

Then I see JavaScript and Node.js.

So this isn't a book on either of DDD, CQRS or EventSourcing. It's about JS.
Finding out how to do that is a quest on its own unfortunately.
There are some pretty fine hairs being split here between different kinds of "best".

But just for reference I thought Robinhood took all of the improvement! So their marketing definitely wasn't universally misleading.
If I had worked for months doing overtime only for the game to be released before it was ready, and seen the reaction it has got, I'd be frustrated.

"Performance on last gen aside"

The way I understand all of this, Sony is pulling the game from the PS4 store but promoting that it's available on PS5 with additional patches.

CD Projekt Red also already said that getting the PS5 port ready for launch will take all of their capabilities. So it might be a deliberate move to sacrifice the PS4 version in order to improve the PS5 one.

I mean Sony clearly has a financial incentive to push the PS5 onto the market and to make players abandon the PS4.
This is what I tell every macOS user looking to try Linux. Pick hardware that is officially supported.

In every Linux thread on HN, macOS fans seem to disregard the fact that Linux has to support so many more hardware configs entirely. In fact they'd compare the experience of them installing Ubuntu on a $300 Best Buy laptop they got for $150 on Black Friday and wonder why the experience isn't up to par compared to their 2019 decked out $3000 MBP.

I only heard of Nest.js a few weeks ago and haven't had the chance to look it. Therefore, take my reply with a grain of salt.

Libraries and frameworks can help you with different things, but they can also get in your way. If the CQRS module of Nest.js seems useful for a specific scenario, I would give it a try.

CQRS can be implemented in many different ways. Even more, a lot of software is applying this pattern inherently to some extent.

If you separate a software (or a part of it) into a write side and a read side, the two become independent. They both only interact with the synchronization mechanism. Therefore, they are free to use their own set of patterns, libraries and even technologies. Many times, the two parts are operated as individual programs/services and can scale autonomously.

Personally, I never encountered a situation with implementing CQRS where I really would have needed a framework. In fact, I contributed to a Node.js framework for implementing CQRS and Event Sourcing. In hindsight, I think the framework was a mistake and should not even be used.

My book explains how to implement all the concepts, patterns and mechanisms without any third-party code. The goal is not to use the custom code in production, but to understand how everything works.
Does it need to be a "direct" benefit? I think sometimes the things we do out of our own volition shape ourselves not only directly but also indirectly.

As a personal example, I have noticed how my way of discussing heated topics has changed based on discourse I have seen here.

And this would not have happened if I didn't invest time similar to yourself.
I get a sense of calm while at the same time feeling terrified of nature. The color palette is unmatched. The feeling of movement contrasted with the feeling of calm is impeccable. It looks different from most art I've seen in my life.

The exchange publishes the details of TAS trades as they happen, but it's not right to think of it as an "auction". Those contracts have already changed hands, just at an undetermined price, so the number of contracts bought will always be the same as the number sold. Probably what you want to know is how many of the TAS contracts were bought/sold by market makers who intend to hedge the trade in the closing minutes of the day, as opposed to speculators who wanted to enter/exit/roll a position.

You can also get a pretty good estimate of the closing price by watching the trade prints during the 2-minute settlement window, which the exchange publishes in real time.

This. I also find it hard to believe how Apple can screw up bigtime with buggy OS releases considering they make and own the full hardware-software stack which has way less variety than what Linux and Windows have to deal with.

Mac fans have defended Apple saying that "QA is expansive and they can't afford it", as if Apple is some low budget indie app developer in an incubator and not this trillion dollar goliath with insane margins.
I agree that on the software front it’s a whole different story.

I was thinking about broader categories like the music players (initially derided), phones (that Ballmer interview really aged poorly and and all large phone manufacturers couldn’t believe what was happening). Watches - all the media portrayed the Apple Watch as a failure even years after it was a market leader. The M1 is the same story, all the benchmarks were showing that A series chips had great performance compared to x86 and yet people still somehow managed to be surprised that M1 is fast.

That’s why I wouldn’t bet agains apple when it comes to graphics cards. Now, the software story is different. Even if they have the greatest GC, the question is “what for?” As you mentioned they managed to scared off professionals. And they chased gaming away years ago.
That's true, on the other hand, consider that Moderna has lowered storage requirements twice in the past four months. This gives us three options, Is it Moderna taking more risks, Pfizer being more risk-averse or is the Moderna one inherently more stable?

I get the feeling those issues are over on the Mac now. Over the years I’ve had issues that are shockingly similar to my PC stuff on the Mac. I have concluded this is possibly the underlying architecture complexity. Most of the PC architecture that is shared is a massive stack of sticky tape and string piled up over the last 20 years and I think that leaks out into the OS. I’m surprised it works for any vendors at all. It’s not as if Linux doesn’t have a ton of problems in that space either.

The only thing I can say is that with the M1 Mac mini I have it’s the only computer I haven’t found any issues with at all yet and I’ve been using it since November 26th 100% of the time. Absolutely no issues at all.

Now windows is mostly reliable from the hardware side of things I’d you are lucky but the software is broken as fuck. Nothing works reliably or consistently. For over a month now Alt-tab on 20H2 has been randomly changing window ordering as an example breaking over 20 years of muscle memory. Their own mail client stops receiving mail twenty times a day. I’m not even going to start the book-sized rant on how unreliable their development stack is. And yesterday I spent an hour trying to delete a file which wouldn’t go away. It’s just motivational poison at the end of the day. Death by a thousand paper cuts.
Horizon and Spiderman (original and Miles Morales) are both great gameplay wise. Spiderman is more of a button smasher but still a little tactical, Horizon on hard difficulties really makes you think on your feet while still being an rpg.

Outer Wilds is one of the best things I've played in years. I don't want to spoil anything because it's main appeal is exploration but think walking/space sim mixed with a platformer and a puzzle game. That doesn't do it justice because emotionally it's an incredible experience but unlike name rpgs the story is told through exploration rather than cut scenes. Best £20 I've spent all year.
I've got to be honest, I answered yes to both your rhetorical "are these algorithms?" questions, which I'm guessing was not your intention. It would help if you gave some examples of what is missing in each case (in your eyes) disqualifying them.

With the SQL example:

I don't think a set of rules is disqualified from being called an algorithm if it's implemented using some other tool or process, because we do this all the time: when programming, we split up implementations into functions, or we could have used the standard library's sort function too -- I would still consider it an algorithm no matter how the "sort the results" step ended up being implemented.

If the result is wrong, it is not necessarily because the implementation of SQL's ORDER BY is incorrect (it could be but it's unlikely for a popular SQL implementation), and if you know that the the rules are incorrect then I agree, I definitely wouldn't blame the sorting algorithm (at least initially, although it's possible it's also be wrong).

SATA over USB and boot from SD-Card has proven to be possible, but that's not what I would consider a good storage solution.

On Raspberry Pi 5 I would like to find a M.2 or SATA slot and we finally have a small low-end desktop replacement or mini server or cheap NAS. Storage is really the last missing piece for the Pi-series.
‘Breath’ Review: Eager Breather
> I've mentioned as much to several C-suite executives and professional venture investors I know who tend to wax philosophical about "exponential growth in cloud services and big data" and whatnot. Invariably, their response has been to tell me that I just don't get it, or that I make no sense. They give me puzzled looks and maybe even get a bit exasperated with me.

One word: Worldcom

I still remember coming up to 2000 sitting in a meeting room of an equipment provider I recently joined looking at projections of market growth, competitors and our own sales and profitability. Shortly afterwards that part of the business was sold, I remained with the other non internet part and we sailed through the .com crash unscathed.

A lot of what AWS offers makes no sense. A lot what some AWS customer's teams are building is overly complex and a horror show to maintain. But there is also value: Maintained images, backups, on demand resources and specialized resources. We hit one of the inflection points in Moore's Law and that drives us into horizontal scaling and specialized hardware.

Like with Worldcom and the fantastic internet growth story back then there is a kernel of truth and value. Find people that understand it and be glad others are playing around and subsidizing the investments in the core.
For what it's worth, this doesn't mean anything (by this I mean that literally, you have gained zero bits of information from this result, and should be exactly as confident as you were before the study)
I'm not a casual gamer and perceive the main and large side quests as some of the best I have played over the last 20 years.

But that doesn't mean the terrible AI (in all aspects of the game) or the lackluster attempt at an interactive open world don't bother me.

How is it so hard for people to distinguish the good parts of the game from the bad parts? The biggest offender is the combat AI because that impacts gameplay but issues like "not being able to get a haircut" don't deserve the mountains of hate threads and death threats by the children on r/cyberpunkgame.

For a latecomer, you've managed to see through a lot of bullshit, and the psychological/sociological nature of it. What you're maybe missing is that's not always been like that. Cloud, SaaS is only a thing since around 2006 when AWS hit the scene big time. Before that, we had a relatively conservative, standards-driven perspective on progress. Maybe it's also the time when the generation having learned computing from the ground up (assembler, C, hardware hacking) was starting to fade from the job market, or rather the then-new devs became eager to carve out their niche with arbitrary abstractions (but not entirely - I remember OOP bullshit from early 1990s and WS-* SOA crap from 2000s).

Retina is a very interesting example for how Apple works. They have identified the necessary resolution (200+ ppi) for this technology and worked towards across their whole product range. The technology isn't exclusive to Apple, but they are the only company which pushes it, even if it sometimes means quite odd display resolutions.

Other manufacturers seem to be completely oblivious to it. They still equip their laptops either with full hd or 4k screens. The resulting ppi are all over the place. Sometimes way to low (bad quality) or way to high (4k in an 13" laptop, halves the runtime). Same with standalone screens, there is a good selection around 100ppi, but for "high res" the manufacturers just offer 4k in whatever size, so once again the ppi are all over the place again.
How helpful to have a person who knows nothing about my situation police my behaviors because of a vague congruence and an apparent desire to score internet points.

No, for the purposes of what I'm doing, HN was not included in that. From my perspective, HN isn't really designed for addiction in the same way. No personalized, UAM-optimized algorithmic feed, no infinite river of small content bites, no rich mechanisms for interaction. And, very importantly, it has the noprocrast feature, which I long ago set to low usage levels.

And as others point out, it's not like I took some sort of vow of internet chastity to a god who will now smite me because I looked at HN. The point was to partially undo some bad habits that had built up during the election cycle. I'll often make some 1-month change at the beginning of the month. For me it's valuable mainly as self-experiment and a way of getting back to some baseline.

Just a comment regarding belief in the context of learning: a lot (in fact almost all) of learning is through our innately held beliefs. Without having beliefs we would be no different than an ML model, which just keeps adjusting weights according to the data it receives. Each of us has some beliefs, which "seems right" to us and this is what shapes our understanding of what we see around us, no matter what the "data" says.

If the belief is weak (or false), it might lead to confusion and distrust, which will make it impossible to learn anything.

Also, experiencing heightened states of awareness is not necessarily beneficial, people on drugs experience it routinely.
Fair enough, but even including all those extras that stil puts the cost at maybe $150/month? That assumes cooking for oneself, not buying a lot of meat or other expensive products etc. On that budget, you will probably not eat worse that a median human.

Maybe but the game is still tons of fun and .... that's what I want a game to be. CDPR deserves some backlash and the situation on last gen consoles is terrible.

But they delivered an amazing game on higher end platforms which suffers from bugs that are mainly silly and rarely game breaking. The truth is that communities like r/cyberpunkgame are just the gaming equivalent for hateful Facebook groups.

How sad do you have to be as a person if you send death threats to CDPR devs because of a fucking game?
