Haha. I was born in Hong Kong and spoke Cantonese growing up. I never really thought about what sung means until this article. To me, it was basically "everything that's not rice," which is a more casual, flippant definition in the article. But it's still an odd word and an odd concept if you think about it. What a mindfuck.
>That's kind of the trouble with Gemini now. Since you can't send significant amounts of text to the server, you can't really make a message board kind of thing in pure Gemini.

Given the aggressive anti-complexity stance of Gemini, isn't that supposed to be a feature? A messageboard isn't a static text document, it doesn't belong there.

Each one of us has his or her own way of expressing opinions, from my point of view there is more than just those three lines of text in what I wrote, some people got it, other people didn't, and that's what I find great about HN comments.

I really appreciate that people took the time to express their opinions starting from a simple statement like the one I wrote, and I don't think that each and every comment needs to be a complete analysis of every possible nuance of the subject we are commenting about.

I'm not a monolithic person, I prefer a conversational approach when discussing opinions, but that's just a matter of personal taste.

Anyway, to make my point I'll use as an example two projects I was personally involved and still bring food on the table: NodeJS + MongoDB (started 7 years ago, still on it); MariaDB + PHP + FORTRAN (started 4 years ago, after the first two years only consulting from time to time).
Fun fact: right now I could swap one DB for the other and I wouldn't mind the difference, maybe some minor tricks here and there.

You can get burned with MongoDB (totally inconsistent data model? Well, that sucks bad), you can get burned with PostgreSQL or other SQL databases (thousand line long business critical stored procedures starts getting inefficient? Self join time explodes after some time in production? Ouch...)

The main point I wanted to make is what jeff-davis (your sibling) summarized for me with words way better than my own: "If you are building something and excited, then keep going, don't stop because a blog told you 'never'"

Too often I read blog posts like the one we are commenting when I was starting with software development as a job, they scared the shit out of me! I didn't have any experience on the tools so reading that some much more experienced guy working on some Silicon Valley billion dollar corporation was saying "This is shit: you touch it, you die" didn't bring anything useful to me, just stress...

Over the years I've heard everything and its contrary about... anything! There is normal people here on HN, there are young devs starting right now that read those comments, not everyone is building mission critical rocket firmware, billion users social networks or AI/ML/Blockchain fanta-finance trading bots (not that you are implying anything like that, far from it) but my advice after some years in the business is what I wrote: know your tools, get to like them, get proficient, use them well and try to build something good... your personal experience, be it success or failure, is worth a thousand times more than the success or failure narrated on a random guy/girl blog from N years ago
Well I wouldn't use Spring, so that solves a lot of the problems... :)

I was never really a fan of DI.

Part of my point is your application should be fast enough before the JIT kicks in.

Ideally, you should also do performance testing. Incorporating that with your release go or no go is a great approach, IMO, if you do releases very often.
but they have $400MM of 2020 revenue. How can they do that with such a disappointing product?
Extending your line of reasoning, that would imply not just that we shouldn't fall in love with Apple, but additionally that we shouldn't avoid companies with bad reputations. Which seems bonkers to me?

Taking my Oracle example, I'm definitely never going to recommend my company adopts Oracle. Given their historical behaviour, it's just too much risk!

This position that all companies are equally amoral seems 1. blind to reality and 2. to be throwing away useful information.

The likely actions of a company are embedded in their culture, their structure, the people who choose to work there, and the personalities of their leadership. That can all change, but you have the ability to observe that change and punish companies which violate your trust.

What happens after Geoffrey Moore's famous chasm?
Yeah. The problem is I want something different from what seemingly the entire space of game developers is willing to make, even when there are no economics at stake. When I see a little game like this, which clearly came from a place of inspiration and was positioned to break the mold, and then it's still spoiled by just a tiny piece of needless gamification, it's doubly frustrating specifically because it came so close to escaping that trope.

I don't mean to come off as demanding - people can make what they want to make - I just feel like sometimes people tack this kind of mechanic onto a game not because it's essential, but because (consciously or subconsciously) they're afraid people won't know what to do with a video game that doesn't give you a dopamine kick in the form of a number going up. Of course I don't know if that was the case here (though I suspect it might be), it's just that this game touches on a much bigger story of exasperation with the world of game design, for me.
> A small-fry content owner doesn't have the resources to find copyright infringement

Again, DMCA works out in favor of the small-fry content owner who more than likely has the resources to find copyright infringement (Google searches are free), but that certainly doesn't have the resources to take every case of copyright violation to court for injunction or other remedy.

Pre-DMCA, if someone posted content that I created to a website, my main recourse would be to ask the website nicely to remove said content and hope they didn't immediately delete my request. I could try to sue the website for violating my copyright by distributing my content without my permission.

Post-DMCA, if someone posts content that I created to a website, I can file an un-ignorable DMCA complaint with the website, and there are defined timelines and processes that must be followed if the website does not want to take on liability for distributing my content.

It's unfortunate that big content owners abuse the system, but it's unfair to say that there are no benefits for small content owners.
I gave up after waiting 30 seconds for assets to load.

I was hoping this was a bit closer in load time to the original Adventure game.
Very often in home and industrial automation you want to have a smart enough, local, gateway that can:

- speak multiple protocols as needed by the devices

- aggregate data, provide history of values from sensors & so on

- isolates the (limited) network stacks of local devices from the Internet - e.g. provides different timeouts and retransmission behavior

- terminates a VPN, often providing better security than exposing services directly on the Internet!

Bingo.
Ads making so much money has destroyed Google, because they can make mistake after mistake and still be profitable. Most companies think this is good, but it's actually a curse. When decisions don't have consequences, people don't care. Google doesn't care if Stadia fails.

What surprises me more is why people trusted Google enough to invest in Stadia in the first place. Had they let you import Steam games (like Nvidia does), fine, you're not risking anything. But actually paying Google for the license to a game that's ONLY available on Stadia? No thanks.

This is exactly what HP looked like a couple of decades ago. Making billions from printers meant everything else suffered.
Didn't they make that DOTA autochess game as well?
Maybe a confusion of tartar the sauce with Tatars the central Asian nomads?

There’s possibly something there though, even if the steak tartar version is incorrect. Bret Deveraux claims the aim was to preserve meat into a kind of jerky: “On the move, meat could be placed between the rider’s saddle and the horse’s back – the frequent compression of riding, combined with the salinity of the horse’s sweat would produce a dried, salted jerky that would keep for a very long time.”[1]

His stuff is very well sourced, but also he’s self-admittedly talking outside his area of expertise there. So who knows.

If it was opt out, Facebook could get away with this. Apple is forcing their hand so people are presented with a fairly straight forward choice.
Does it really matter if you are dead, everyone who ever knew you is dead, and everyone that was told about you is dead?

I don't believe the burial grounds should just be disrespected and all the bones dumped in the trash, but if 300 years from now scientist want to research an aspect of our lives to further humanity it seems like the dead shouldn't be trying to hamper that.

I'd even be fine if the land was even used for building development so long as the removal process is similar to an archaeological dig and it is very easy for charitable groups to stake a claim to maintain the grounds and pay taxes on it. From an American perspective, I'm thinking of Native American religious burial sites, slave burial sites, and other sites that may have historical significance but were not allowed to be maintained properly.
15 months until they announced it's gon, 25 until they shutter it
Man, I'm so salty about GFN - they have a great product and an economic model that makes sense but, for whatever reason, they gave in to publishers' pressure to remove some games from their service. This is doubly upsetting, as publishers should have no say on where I play the games I've already purchased - whether it's on a computer I physically own or on a computer I rent in the cloud.

I am a University of Maryland new grad software engineer looking for work. I have experience with full stack development across a variety of languages, from iOS/Android to backend web services development. Ultimately I want to learn and make an impact with my code.
Never stopped. The reason why I started medication was because I switched to a therapist who convinced me that I wasn't going to be a deranged drug addict.
"wouldn't one already know how to get to their favorite brewery?" - I navigate most everywhere I go of any distance so I get warned of traffic issues or speed traps.
Same! my only complaint was how very accurate I had to be at the stops to operate the doors and let passengers on an off.
The level of inconvenience is on the same level as having to log into Gmail on my iPhone. That doesn’t stop me from using Gmail or buying an iPhone. UX matters a lot, but not that much.

Steam is free by the way, since I guess I didn’t point that out in my last post. You just have to buy the games, same as Stadia.

I am really happy this didn't succeed. Google is the type of company with the wrong incentives to screw up the whole gaming industry turning them into marketing data mining, microtransactions ad machines.
It used to be much better, but publishers cracked down on it when it started gaining traction.

I think it's ridiculous that a publisher can prevent me from using my license on what is essentially rented cloud hardware. IP laws have come to stifle the very innovation they were supposed to protect.

Looks gorgeous. I'll take a deeper look when I get home.

Or just pay $150 for a second-hand graphics card that is one or two generations behind current models but was top-end at its age, and put it to a basic desktop PC.
A word of caution: The pop-culture definition of ADHD has started to drift quite far from the original diagnosis.

Whenever you read someone's personal description of ADHD, it helps to remember that many of the traits they describe are common to everyone, ADHD or not. The distinction lies in the severity of the symptoms, and how resistant those symptoms are to more typical (non-medication) interventions.

The bigger problem is that some of these overly generic descriptions of ADHD are so broad that you'd be hard pressed to find any young person in 2021 who doesn't fit the description.

For example, consider what the inverse of this person's list of bullet points would look like:

- Very, very easy time focusing on things they don't like or don't want to do

- Easy time reading physical books

- Hard to distract with construction noises

- Enjoys sitting still for extended periods of time

- Easily gets back to a flow state after being interrupted

Taken to extremes, overly generic descriptions of ADHD tend to paint unrealistic pictures of what a non-ADHD person looks like. When was the last time you met any young person who is unaffected by distractions, interruptions, sitting still for long periods of time, and has no issues focusing on things they don't like?

The list of recommended techniques provided by the author is excellent. Everyone could benefit from it, frankly. ADHD people especially.

Newly diagnosed (or self-diagnosed) ADHD patients often make the mistake of letting their diagnosis become a convenient excuse. They might start speaking about their ADHD as if it's a separate entity, holding their true self back (For example "It's not my fault I have ADHD" or "If it wasn't for my ADHD, I would be more successful"). While this is short-term satisfying, it can be extremely counterproductive. If anything, an ADHD diagnosis means you need to put more effort into building routines, improving your self-discipline, creating focus-conducive environments, and other healthy habits that everyone benefits from, ADHD or otherwise.

If you find yourself identifying with some of the points in this article, bookmark the article and spend some time implementation the recommended bullet points. If you find the issues are interfering with your life to an unbearable degree, consider engaging with a professional psychiatrist for a conversation on ADHD. You don't want someone who will simply prescribe stimulants and send you on your way. You want someone who will create a long-term plan. Medication can help, but it's not as straightforward as it sounds. Worse yet, some people mistake medication for a free pass around building self-discipline, which fails when tolerance develops (and it will). Healthy habits and self-discipline last a lifetime, so it's worth investing in building those up front.
>Cold engineering logic drove us to see that everything is just bytes and so everything can be served over HTTP.

>The same logic is used in the retail world to optimize away culture and quirk and nuance and difference: everything is just a product, so everything can be sold in just one superstore.

That seems an odd aspersion to cast on a protocol that gave Hacker News the culture and quirk and nuance and difference of the early web it's so nostalgic for.

> you can easily write Gemini pages in a text editor, without worrying about HTML, WYSIWYG or other markup formats.

text/gemini is a markup format by itself, and I do not think that it is any more readable/editable compared to say markdown.

> You can write your own server or client in a couple days, from scratch, without using libraries or worrying about corner cases.

Good luck implementing TLS from scratch. If we ignore TLS this argument still does not make a lot of sense, I made a toy http server years back within a few hours.

> links from modern web sites (causing annoyed users who think your site is broken)

This line of argument seems elitistic to me, as in "we do not want the common non-technical folk to start using it".

> or invasions by thousands upon thousands of 4chan trolls or whatever

Yet one of the most popular sites on gemini is a BBS by kiwifarms (which includes 4channers).

The metaphor (thanks for explaining it by the way) seems to make the incorrect assumption that gemini is a simpler protocol compared to a subset of http that gemini could have used instead.
I agree risk management should start at the patient and work backwards to the individual units that themselves can be inputs into an FMEA. When the design gets a bit further along, you can perform an FMEA and repeat the process several times over the course of the design. I am always surprised at how many more risks can be identified by doing the process iteratively and frequently.

Do you recommend any tools that have helped you perform risk analysis?
As both an advertiser and publisher I'd also be far happier without individually targeted advertising. On our websites I would prefer to just show contextual ads, and when advertising I'd honestly rather just get our message out there in places where it's likely to resonate, rather than trying to target a specific person who's ready to buy a car, or whatever.
We certainly don't want to create an adverse incentive where you would consider limiting the number of devs who had access to the monitoring system. There are trade-offs but we think that per-seat pricing (like GitLab, GitHub) actually does make it much easier to budget and plan for monitoring spend. Generally, a headcount plan is more predictable than the data your application generates. For example, a single engineer can add (and maybe should be adding) far more metrics and logs to their applications to monitor it correctly. They should not also be worried about breaking the budget when doing so. Does this make sense to you - what do you think?
Typically referred to as toys or simulators rather than games; there isn’t much out there but I find those terms get better S:N
> the project never got far enough to tell if it was a successful gaming platform

The project hasn't gotten far enough to tell yet. Presumably shutting down their internal studio will help them focus on the platform rather than on making games. Much like Sony, it seems like this would have been the better strategy to start with.
Pinged!
Hi justasidenote2, I'm at 60% scrolling down this whole hacker news crap thing, and I finally found a post that I think makes any sense at all.

First of all, make sure you get that diagnosis. Don't go wild with the medication thing, because the first thing that the medication should do is bring you from the "giving up in advance" level to the "ooh, I can learn about and try some things that might help me to take control of my own life" level.

And for now, start ignoring "anyone who doesn't have our experience" and what they think and shout, because I think you won't start to feel any better after reading all of that.

P.S. my un-scientific explanation for the overload of stress reactions (and anxiety and panic attacks) is that in absence of 'neurotypical' ways to get us going, the body goes into an emergency stress loop, producing stress hormones and adrenaline all the time, to try get us going to do anything at all.
I'd think they'd react in the opposite way, if they knew about the test -- that they wouldn't want to be one of the yes sayers.

(And some might have thought that the whole thing was then a waste of their time anyway?)
Wow, they are really awesome. Thank you both!

At this point, I am eager to move into a more senior level position with opportunities for mentoring and to work with newer technologies while obtaining a better work life balance.

Ideally my next position will be in DevOps or SRE type role as my skill set aligns well with those responsibilities, and my latest role has afforded me the opportunity to learn many more facets of SRE. Full stack development is also a viable option, for the right opportunity.
