> like one login account but still true pseudonymity wrt to other users

Exactly.

FWIW: That's what I tried to explain above: "like one login account but still true pseudonymity wrt to other users"

> I don’t recall the specifics but I remember the whole thing being very confusing as a user. It was definitely when I started losing trust in Google because there was never a clear benefit to me as a user.

On Google+ the social network it became really simple: You logged in using your main account.

Then in the upper right corner of the desktop (and probably in the hamburger menu on mobile) you could choose which connected identity you would like to post as.

Meaning one identity to answer serious questions about programming on the backend and another identity in a support group for front end developers etc ;-)

Google of course knew but back then we trusted Google.
I tried Stadia this christmas and while I'm not surprised, I'm disappointed. Everyone says that it runs well, no input lag, great picture quality and so on. But that was a lie.

While playing Destiny 2 and Hitman on a laptop running Ubuntu and over wifi with a controller, it felt ok-ish. Almost on par with playing on a Xbox Series X but not quite there.

However, when I tried the same games on my gaming rig, on a 1 Gbit fiber connection with a mouse and keyboard it was completely unplayable for me. The input lag is just too high for me to enjoy the experience. On top of that the picture quality is pretty bad compared to running the same game on your own machine at 4K.

My conclusion is that Stadia will not replace a high end gaming rig for the type of gamer with higher demands. I even doubt it will replace xbox or playstation for the console players.
This may be silly question, but what is ' pay-equity adjustment' in the article? Quick search does not provide easy understanding.

With all these comments about stimulants, I think it's important to note that 25-50% of people with ADHD also have a sleep disorder (often not diagnosed). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6299464/

I have ADHD and have found that being on a strict sleep schedule and really making good sleep a focal point has helped maybe more than taking a stimulant

I don't understand what kind of programming wizard you have to be to make this work so smoothly in Pico-8. I've made a Tetris game with a scrolling parallax background for fun in Pico-8 and it struggled to stay at 30fps, and this is running full 3D environment?? Also it blows my mind that this is only 15 colours, incredible how much can be achieved with so little.

Start solving them one on each page.

Detach as much as possible from work. Pick tasks that aren't sinkholes for your time.

By the end of 50 probs, you will know better about your strategy and have better ideas on how to take it from there
Sure. It's possible to create something that is both good for small data and has a better feature set than Excel/Access/etc., but then you do not have the other main asset of those databases: popularity. It's relatively very easy to find people skilled in these technologies, whereas new technologies need to come either with advocates capable of teaching others on their own or programmers already skilled with them. Otherwise, teaching people new technical skills is costly.
Its not that simple, often thorough benchmarks will be the ones suggested by manufacturer, or even designed and written by manufacturer.

As it happens this is precisely Anandtech problem. They have a long legacy of printing whatever toiled paper manufacturers/vendors ship them https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22241800

>Intel tactic was manufacturing facts and positive press stories, something we now call fake news.
...

Intel SSE also got a big push with fake 3D acceleration claims https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=65247&start=20#p...

Intel version:
"At the time, I was working for Intel and was involved in the launch of the Pentium 3, aka Katmai.

We _engaged_ a number of games manufacturers to provide demos showcasing not only Screaming Sindy's Extensions, but the arcane and mysterious Katmai New Instructions.

One such outfit was Rage Software, now sadly deceased. Rage provided demos of Incoming and an early prototype of a game called Dispatched, which as far as I know never actually saw the light of day. Dispatched featured a strangely-arousing cat riding a jet powered motorcycle. The first version I saw was running on a 400MHz Katmai and was still in wireframe. It was bloody impressive."

Reality, according to hardware.fr:
"Let's start with Dispatched first. This is actually a Rage Software game that should come out late 99, which Intel showed the demo at Comdex Fall to highlight the benefits of the SSE. Big interest, it is possible to enable or disable the use of SSE instructions at any time.

Nothing to say in terms of speed, it goes squarely faster once the SSE activated, + 50% to + 100% depending on the scenes! But looking closely at the demo, we notice - as you can see on the screenshots - that the _SSE version is less detailed_ than the non-SSE version (see the ground). Intel would you try to roll the journalists in the flour?"

SSE version is less detailed? How convenient! Rage Software Dispatched never came out. The only outfit, other than Intel, in possession of this software was Anandtech. They used this exclusive press access to pimp out Pentium 3 benchmarks manufacturing fiction like this https://images.anandtech.com/old/cpu/intel-pentium3/Image94....

>so it was pretty much an Intel commissioned demo piece to showcase P3 during Comdex Fall, and was cheating with details. Two other SSE patched games mentioned on hardware.fr actually ran slower with SSE

Anandtech used Intel commissioned piece of fake software to lie to its readers about SSE for couple of years during the time Intel was getting kicked by AMD and paying bribes to vendors.

With shared-disk the data sits in cold storage (eg. s3) for which you pay cheaply. Only when you have to do some big computation you spin up a temporary compute cluster, do the computation, store resukt back in s3 and kill the cluster. You can also have long lived compute clusters and shut them or scale them down at night when nobody uses them. Since the data doesn't "live" in the compute nodes, you can add or remove as many compute nodes as you wish.

In shared-nothing the data "lives" on the compute nodes, so you can't willy nilly add or remove nodes. The data would either get lost if you removed more nodes than what is necessary for triple replicated redundancy. Or if you added nodes you'd have to wait before the data gets rebalanced to those new nodes, resulting in massive reshuffling of everything.

Keep in mind that shared-nothing clusters are most likely long lived and have multiple large datasets sitting on them, so by adding nodes you will start to shuffle everything around.

With shared-disk your compute cluster is only a single use for one dataset and you don't lose data as you scale cluster up and down.

There is a hybrid architecture which will give you both, but doesn't exist out there: Shared-disk with active caching. Ie. giving you control over which tables will be pinned down on your temporary compute-cluster. That will give you performance of shared-nothing but with convenience of shared-disk temporary compute clusters.

Well I'm a Brit, but I did write that with an eye to the fact that most people here are yank... er, I mean my esteemed colonial colleagues. Yes you have fewer and more threadbare social safety nets that in Europe, but a heck of a lot more than in China.
I'm working on https://github.com/uberswe/beubo - It's a CMS similar to Wordpress but written in Go. It's still very early and it has a lot of bugs but what will make it powerful is plugins and themes. Performance is the biggest difference between Wordpress, plugins will most likely use RPC/gRPC which means they could be written in any language.

I'm mostly writing it for use with my own projects like https://tournify.io but it would be awesome if a few others found it useful too. It's a nice way for me to practice my Go programming skills.

off_t needs 64bit alignment so registers get copied to the stack argument structure correctly on kernel entry. This is ancient voodoo.
My solution was to move away from traditional 9-5 work.

First, I moved into contracting/consulting, which meant I could work shorter gigs that let me run at full speed for a few months at a time, then down tools for a while and recover completely before doing it again. Normally said recovery would involve the better part of a year traveling through interesting parts of the world, which was a pretty big upside in itself.

The second part was building a couple Software as a Service products that eventually combined to bring in the equivalent of a dev salary on their own, while not taking up a lot of time to maintain. That let me pick and choose just the most fun sounding consulting gigs, and whether to simply spend a given year traveling or working on my surfing.

The cool thing about either of these routes is that they eliminate the whole "ageism" thing. None of my customers have ever asked my age before signing up for a trial of the SaaS. And none of the startups I've worked with have held my lack of inexperience against me when they bring me in to build something for them. If anything, "25 years of javascript experience" and some scary tales from the document.all days just helps to justify a high bill rate.

I suppose if I'm honest, I can see where you're coming from with regard to slowing down and finding it harder to tolerate the non-stop-imaginary-crisis-to-ship that you find in so many shops these days. But I find that I can still burst hard for short periods of time and build things quick, so long as I have a good amount of downtime between gigs. Contracting is perfect for that.

I wrote a meal scheduler - https://gitlab.com/dustin-space/meal-scheduler. It tracks ingredients we have at home, it has a database of recipes, it knows where we can buy ingredients online (for delivery).

It schedules meals for my shared household.
I can give it a request like: "next week I want to cook 4 vegetarian meals with 3 portions, and 1 vegan meal for 8 people for big shared dinner, and I want <=2 of those to be noodles.

It thinks for a bit with a planner (implemented in Minizinc - https://www.minizinc.org/ - with OR-Tools for a solver), and out pops a plan, like: "OK, you need to check you still have 500 g of potatoes, ..., then buy 1 kg of carrots, 1 liter of coconut milk, and here's links for the online store; I also checked those ingredients in stock; I also need cayenne pepper, you'll have to get it yourself because I don't know how to get it online".

The planner can understand things like "there's risotto rice, jasmine rice, arborio rice, etc.; some recipes ask for specific type of rice but some recipes are OK with any kind of rice". And there's more things I plan to support in the future, like ingredients that allow "use this ingredient or this other ingredient", or optional ingredients.

When we get a plan, we then check we have all the needed stock, and if we don't, we update the stock and replan. And when it's done, it generates an ICS file with calendar entries we add to our shared calendar ("today we're cooking gnocchi with pesto for 4 people, here's link to the recipe"). It also generates stickers, which you print on sticker paper, and you put them on the ingredients that will be needed to cook. The stickers ensure someone doesn't accidentally eat too much of them before we need them.

It's given us a lot of utility for our household. It lets us make tasty fancy meals without the toil of planning. It's quite rough around the edges - no fancy UI, lots of "you have to enter this textproto here and there's next to no validation". But I'm slowly improving it in my spare time to make it more convenient and useful for us.

Right now, the published part of it is not useful, it only includes like 8 recipes that we manually entered. But I'm trying to design it so that it can eventually be a platform, and ideally easy-ish to use for households.
Ask HN: Did the government regulate renovation / construction during pandemic?
It boggles my mind that everyone decided that lockdown is the best time to start renovating their apartments.

That analogy probably lands differently for different people. I haven’t used Stadia and don’t have a strong opinion of it. (But I’m open to it - my normal gaming approach is along the lines of XKCD 606 - I’m currently working through my PS3 library.) However, I find reading books on an iPad to be viscerally unpleasant, even though an iPad is my primary mobile computing device.
They have different rules for big companies and for small companies. All big companies are given a pass on shady stuff
The problem with that is that it creates a culture of complacency. If failure is acceptable and even expected to be the norm, then don't be surprised when lots of projects you thought would be sure-fire hits or are executed successfully by competitors end up failing.
And to be fair, they also definitely have to cover themselves before they need to make delivery two days later.

I think naked shorting would be a perfectly valid thing to allow every investor to do, you clearing house would just want to ask for pretty high margin requirements.

Very similar to how there are covered call options, but also naked call options. And the economy hasn't collapsed either.
> It doesn't matter whether it's open source or not

It actually does: with open-source you are not bound to the vendor if it isn't cooperative, but can pay anyone else willing and able to do the work. Plenty consultancies will happily fix old bugs or backport fixes in open-source software for you, but can't do much about closed software you depend on.

Okay, so I'm referring mainly to the typical "GNU/Linux" desktop/server OS vs embedded or "container Linux" which is where the majority of alternative libc use will happen.

In either case though there is a libc that most software will use, and the mitigations can be applied there. Even though direct use of syscalls is legal on Linux, the fact that it's stable is primarily relevant and interesting to said libc developers.

The fact that syscalls aren't guaranteed on other systems is usually of little consequence since the libc is developed in tandem with the kernels of those systems. Linux's situation as a fully decoupled kernel means it does things differently in that sense. The developers are fully separated, so there needs to be a strong "contract" that syscalls will be stable.

Doesn't mean (IMO) it's a good idea for end-users e.g. software developers to use syscalls except in exceptional circumstances. Which is usually the case!

Well, only fungible shares lend themselves to be traded on financial markets.

Most companies decide to make their shares fungible, because they want them to be readily tradable.

But there's no one forcing anyone here. Companies and investors could agree to shares with particular serial numbers.

It's just so much more convenient to have fungible shares, that this is where all the capital goes.
I wasn't a participant, but ... it definitely hurts that, like, I haven't the faintest friggin clue how HN's whole voting system works - in fact I'm not even sure where the downvote button is.

I just assume I don't have access until I have some sort of hidden karma value that's high enough.

A few tooltips would work wonders, and I believe can still be done with the nice, cleanly-simple html style they've gone for.
