I think your last paragraph is the answer. Targeting ad with personal information is questionably profitable to me. I am almost not caught by the ads in websites but by some search results (google search first page) or article in forums like here or reddit or some people I followed. Maybe Google just find out they actually do not need such garbage personal information. I said garbage because lots of them are really caused by random events (sometimes you are interested in something. But after that period of time, you would not ever get in touch with it again) or fake information. And, the ecosystem to store these information is expensive.

Reddit seems so preposterously stupid. They keep inventing ways to make the site worse.

For example, I just went to reddit to see if I could see a green dot by my username. First thing I got was a popup at the bottom asking me to register my email account (it's a 12 year account, I've refused to do this who knows how many times by now, keep me asking me though - maybe one day). I saw the green dot. I expanded my profile and saw a little toggle by "Online" and clicked it. Nothing happened. I clicked it repeatedly. After a few seconds I got five "Status saved" updates appearing at once. Now I didn't know the state of my setting. I refreshed the page. It loaded the page in the unauthenticated state, dark mode is gone, my reddit page is replaced with the unauthenticated version, etc. I refreshed again, now I'm back in authenticated and see my status indicator is off.

I don't even care about the status indicator, it just bothers me that reddit is striving to become more and more this clumsy, over-engineered, mess. It's slow. Things don't work right. It's obnoxious. Why not clean and simple, like hackernews?

They say the status indicator is to promote talking with your friends - but is that what people are using reddit for? Why not just try to be a good link aggregator and forum rather than mash in messenger and what not. Reddit would be much better had they focused on nothing but site reliability and performance for the past 10 years.
The managerial class in Germany earns much more than normal workers. The point here isn't that Germany somehow successfully combated inequality, just that it doesn't value software engineers as much as the US or even the UK does.

Usually you get a 4 year grant that vests monthly or weekly or whatever over the four years. You get one of those every year, so after 4 years you have 4 stacked vesting bonuses, when the oldest runs out, the new one you got that year will take its place.
Mathematicians have largely abandoned the term "imaginary number" and use "complex number" instead. I never used the term "imaginary number" when I was teaching (except to point out that it wasn't very good terminology).

But the old term still survives in some areas. For instance, the real and imaginary parts of a complex number:

re (3 + 4 i) = 3 and im (3 + 4 i) = 4.

What other languages have you been exposed to?
Last major one I worked on that needed to be cross platform was a GPS navigator, which had massive functionality in C and C++ under the hood, called from the platform-specific UI/event handling code through Objective-C-to-C++ on iOS, through JNI on Android, and directly on PC native platforms. It worked pretty well. The ratio of platform-specific to platform-independent code was very small, so it was not like writing the app N separate times. Major engineering savings AND each platform's build had its own UI idioms that users of those platforms were accustomed to. Guess I never realized this was a controversial approach to take!

> If the prevailing mentality of most web users is to install their adblocker of choice

This is not the prevailing mentality of "most" web users, in fact it's not even possible for it to be because the most common user agent is Chrome on Android.

Brave is an attempt to funnel as many oblivious users as possible into a pipeline where native ads are automatically blocked, for the precise purpose of being able to execute the "hostage situation" that you mention. The premise that the target market for Brave is the tiny group of people who are willing to look at one kind of ad (provided by Brave) but not a different kind of ad (provided by the publisher) so that the publisher can get a fraction of what they would have received from the native ad (if they opt into a crypto scam) is laughable. Most people who want to block ads just want to block all ads.
No way, I was reading this page just a few days ago. I personally enjoyed seeing just a little splash of the writer's personality. Sad to see it go already.

Sort of related: in UK an entire skyscraper went up in flames, and it was obvious there were multiple breaches of fire safety. Over 100 people died.

The inquery was told that the plans for the building were lost, and it was the intern's fault that he deleted them off his pc.

A few insights I've learned from my meetings with the company:

* The magic number is $40. If you send a large box of clothes to them, they will pay you some amount that's very near to $40. That's the amount that stops you from complaining.

* They effectively sell 6mm SKUs because almost every item is unique. This makes efficient logistics key. They used to operate out of 2 warehouses, and they would charge the same for shipping from either warehouse, until some engineer pointed out that they would actually lose money if the customer ordered a low value item from the warehouse farthest from them. So then they shifted to subtly only show/promote you items that are located in the nearest warehouse to you.

* Customers typically browse ThredUp while waiting in line. This is something you do to fill the time, like Twitter or Facebook. They find most purchases are impulse and average time on site/app is very low. This might be why growth isn't as good right now

It's still kinda not private, because GTM/GA/ etc on 3rd party sites are going to track where your click came from.
For what it’s worth my objection isn’t the content or that there’s politics mingling in an open source project - it’s that the specific message was unbelievably asinine and so stupid as to cast doubt on the competence of the developers (for the same reason it isn’t assuring to read a manual for your television and discover a long rant about Flat Earth - it’s not a strictly fair metric for their technical competence but it’s a huge red flag about their general seriousness and reasoning ability).

Software projects shouldn’t loudly advertise that they are written by people with the political sophistication of a college student who smokes too much weed.
I wish they had kept it, a little bit of fun doesn't hurt anyone nor detract from the project.
It wouldn’t make much of a difference.
Yep! I just figured out that I would need a combination of flags to get it to work the way I wanted, thank you for the help. Aliasing the whole command has basically given me all the functionality I could ask for.

Something about bullying and sexism? I don't really get it
Agreed. It’s crazy that people on HN (you, me, and other commenters) are considering an Air just to get away from the TB. Airs only have one free port (one has to be used for charging).

It really says something that HNers are willing to give up ports and speed (and possibly SD, if rumors are true) just to get away from the TB.
I keep waiting for Apple to introduce their own search engine. They are already pushing on the privacy angle, so it would seem to make logical sense to dump Google and have their own search engine. I think switching the iPhone/Safari search engine to their own search would be devastating to Google.

Basically, they would be doing a similar strategy that Microsoft used against Netscape. As I remember it, in the MSFT/Netscape case, they gave away IE and the web server, crippling Netscape's ability to make money. MSFT didn't have to make money off either as they made money off the OS.

In this case, ads are the core of Google revenue. Apple, however, doesn't need to care about that (yes, it would be a loss in revenue). So they dump Google and Google loses a major source of revenue and data.

Obviously there would be some anti-trust issues - I assume that's what is holding them back.
What was the actual problem with your list? The default list worked really well for me, even when not correctly building the child. What platform were you using it on or building for? I'm not asking to be a prick or prove you wrong, my experience is just limited to my own and haven't had any of the issues you describe.

I can say, because I've read quite a lot of code Dart and Flutter code over the past few months, that my experience does seem to be a newer one. I'm sure up until recently (past year or two) it was probably pretty awful at times because of constant flux and a myriad strangely broken shit.

Right now though, it's fucking great. Let me tell you a story even:

Hokay, so, there is this fucking "null-safety migration" going on and I'm thinking to myself, "oh shit, this is going to be fuckin' awful. Every package has to be updated or it doesn't work. This is gonna end up like Scala 2.11... Heat death of the universe or my obscure flutter dependency updates, which could happen first?"

Turns out, almost zero time, the Dart/Flutter team built a tool to automate it... the tool has a built-in "migration UI" with it to make the process super obvious and easy.

It was so easy, and generally correct, I proceeded to make PRs to add null-safety support to my dependencies because I realized I could do them ALL, myself, with a couple of hours of work.

</end>

What that says to me, is that Google's tooling is pretty fucking mature and that my quality of life is likely to only get better. I have never had an experience even remotely close with anything except Swift and that only works on and for Apple's specific platforms. I'd be worried of Google abandoning it if it wasn't for Flutter and Dart being what Fuchsia uses for its UI.

Hi, I audited the performance of the GPay app. Almost all of the performance issues in GPay are related to its use of vector graphics libraries which make Skia spawn many new shaders that have to get compiled. The suggestion was given to move to raster graphics but since GPay ships in many locations that are sensitive to app size, like India, they made the tradeoff to keep raster graphics.

That said there are some longer term initiatives to address this problem on Flutter's side and Skia's side since the problem can show up outside of vector graphics, it's just more unlikely.
It’s an industry failure, society failure, not just a single project failure.

This country can not build a new reliable airplane, like it did decades ago.

It’s failed project after project. Ask yourself why this is the case? What has changed in this country? What has changed in the industry. What has changed in society?

It’s not just aircraft. Where are US high speed rail systems, that other countries built 30, 40 years ago?

Where are modern infrastructure?

That may not maximize ad revenue however. For instance if the Going rate for placing guitar ads is low (not many people bidding to show guitar related ads) but mortgages is quite high google (or someone) would rather show the expensive mortgage ad than the cheap guitar ad.
It's as simple as not deducting my taxes from my paycheck and forcing me to pay in. Almost as if I'd never be overtaxed then.
Immediate mode GUIs don't necessarily rerender all the pixels every loop iteration either. The thing that gets "redrawn" every loop iteration is the programmatic representation of what the UI should look like. Eg every iteration you say "draw a button of this size with this text, then draw a dropdown with this size, then if the button was clicked draw this else draw that, ..." . The library then compares what you want against what's already on screen, and renders the difference.
We already have enough regulations and we still have so much problems. For one thing, it is selective enforcement. Secondly, the penalty is peanut. If penalty is a percentage of total revenue, it will change the behavior of the executive of the tech giant. Add some jail time for repeating offenders is a good idea too.

Lastly, the reason why regulations don’t work is regulations is written by lobbyists here in the US. Guess who these lobbyists represented?

Apologies. New to HN and I understand this comment did not add to the discussion. Thank you for hiding it and I will try to keep the rules in mind.
In other words the coverage is not really any more informative than an advert, as I originally stated. The availability of this device was covered on HN a while back (when I made a favorable comment about it), so my point is that this 'news' article doesn't provide HN readers with any additional information. It's a month old and basically a rewrite of a press release rather than a hands-on review.

I am not sure why you have gone to the bother of writing three comments trying to negate my point of view, but don't plan to reply to any more of them. Have a nice day.
> No one stopped the scope from creeping out of control as new tech and capabilities were added.

The problem with F-35 wasn't scope creep, it was the initial premise which operated under a mistaken belief that getting a single “do everything” airframe to maximize commonality would drive down unit cost, rather than driving it up through the conflicting needs of distinct missions.
To be clear: there is no joke in the code. The joke is the issue itself.

Specifically, the idea is that the character designs in Among Us are so minimalistic that just about anything [1] can look like them, due to pareidolia. So there's a running gag of people posting objects whose resemblance to the characters is increasingly strained, until you're seeing little spacemen literally everywhere you look. When you take this to its extreme, the joke is that even just seeing the words "among us" in source code is enough to drive someone to a nervous breakdown.

> ..."software is being increasingly commoditized"...

I only wish this were true; then value propositions for software could climb a value ladder. The challenge is business' are not standardized beyond some very basic functions, and new standardization comes at a brutally high cost (time and expense). So I see where office productivity has settled on Microsoft Office (though even there, I see huge fragmentation between versions, how people don't use styles, how most people have no idea of pivot tables in Excel, etc.), and we've pretty much just crawled along at a snails pace since then.

If anything, judging by how little I can transplant of business processes that emerge around software from one company to another, and how much those processes mutate over time, I would assert software standardization is getting worse, because getting businesses to standardize even when moving to the cloud has been a bigger challenge than I anticipated.
Not really sure the point that you're trying to make here. You seem to be implying that anyone living anywhere in Ukraine (such as Kyiv) is under constant threat of getting bombed by Russia, while jjjei3 is saying that Ukraine is relatively safe.

If you're so sure its so dangerous there, maybe you can pull up statistics about number/rate of shooting deaths there compared to the US?

what I meant about the ratio part is that physicists don't care much about the computation they care about whenever you know one piece, you know the other will variate through a third factor in a multiplicative manner.. maybe it makes sense, but it's not at all a structural notion like (x) === iterate(+,n)
I can understand that. But while I disagree fundamentally with the Brave CEO's political stances on the aforementioned topics, I just don't see a strong connection between those and his product, which is politically neutral from a left/right perspective.

It's nothing like, for example, the clear connections between the political views of the execs/funders of Parler and Gab and their their products.

If this ever succeeded, then you'll have crazier and crazier apps test the boundaries of platforms and sue for losing their fictitious valuation. Parler lost because it was poorly written, it's hard to keep trust when all your data is uploaded and your users go to jail for sharing that data with your platform.
Now this is a wonderful job.

Thanks!
I don't think that entirely holds up when you consider the size aspect but regardless the moment you are bringing a dedicated GPU into the equation you aren't holding things equal.

It should be compared to integrated graphics because that is what is is both competing against and running circles around in performance, and what it is on-par with (better actually) in power consumption.
