I forgot how annoying things were before steam. Manually patching and update games, making sure the disc you bought had a key that wasn't already used.

That being said, I do miss the little game guides that would come with your game. Starcraft 1 comes to mind. It told you what every unit did and it was a handy little reference companion that was wedged between the frontpanel of the CD cassette
Modulus and power commute, so you can use ((n%15)**4)%15 to keep it small for any integer n
$1.4k isn't much to most HN users, so I would tell you to invest it in crypto if you don't own any yet. I'm not saying you should take out a mortgage to buy crypto, but if 2-10% of your portfolio isn't already crypto, then you should really fix that. The chance that ETH gets a 500% return from now until the end of the year is about 50%, in my opinion.
In my opinion they set their prices too low and have not invested enough in fabs. The demand now way exceeds their capability to manufacture and unfortunately the only way to "restart" is to set prices to a level that will allow building the capacity to satisfy the demand at lower price point. They can try doing those PR tricks, but they'll just waste even more money without addressing the problem.
I feel like it's really lame that its Swift version 157 or whatever and they still don't have a stable async/concurrency story besides callbacks. What's more is that they actually chose an error handling mechanism that doesn't even work with callbacks/closures! So sometimes you have a throwing function and sometimes you return a Result.

As much as I actually do enjoy working with Swift (real type classes!!), there are some parts that are a big WTF.
Because while in the end project valhalla will not call them value classes, it is a sort of an overloaded term.

Structs/value types can be mutable, records are not. They are basically tuples with names. And as far as I know, while records have a sane default equals defined, they are still identity objects in that they are passed by reference.
There has to be a catch here...

Maybe the original AJAX in internet explorer? Combined with Javascript it moved the web from being RESTful hypertext applications to enabling moveable code - killing Java applets, Ole/com plug-ins (including flash).

I'm a bit sad that tls/http2 basically put the final nail in the coffin, essentially killing the viability (if not possibility) of elegant caching from REST. But arguably it's an architecture that's not needed with today's ample resources (fast networks, fast cpus, ample ram and storage).

Hard to imagine that the defining technology of this decade came out of a classic "screw standards; extend/embrace/extinguish"-playbook.

Yes. Never forget how the US seemingly thought that its companies, unchecked, would defend the national interests. We should all learn from this.
> how close to universal replicators do you need to come

We'll probably reach technological self-replication singularity before AGI. I envision a small self replicating/repairing/transforming factory that could function based on local resources. Mostly 3d-printers, robots and tools for making tools.

But I think in reality there will be limited resources, energy and pollution we can all use, so we can't have our exponential utopia. Technology will be more like biology, and it will get good at recycling anything.
And yet, the US healthcare system is largely seen as one of the most expensive and one where an average middle-class household is quickly at risk of paying enormous costs out-of-pocket.

Did this increase in empolyer contributions lead to any actual increase in coverage or a better treatments for employees or were just prices rising overall?
in austria (and germany) buying a house or an apartment is considered a luxury.

Sure, we're talking about the exceptions vs the rule. The rule, generally, is you can do whatever you want with trees on your private property. There are relatively rare exceptions in cases like you mentioned if an endangered bird has a nest on your tree or something.

No it doesn't.

USB Type-C is a connector shape, used by both USB and Thunderbolt. So people saying they want thunderbolt and you saying they should want USB Type-C doesn't make much sense.

Imagine someone in 2001 saying they are disappointed with new computers being released without USB 2.0 (i.e. still using USB 1.1), and you replying that things should be based on Type-A. Both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 used Type-A connectors. The shape is unrelated to the protocol/speed/etc.
Sounds like an instance of the No True Scotsman fallacy to me, friend. What is capitalism if not the systems that purport to be it? It's like saying "communism has never been tried". They tried _something_, and they certainly labelled it communism.

That said, I do find the Equity Fund idea interesting, though it's not entirely clear what this looks like in practice, especially for the unbanked, the mentally ill, homeless people, etc. who might not really know what to do with shares, since some of them don't really know what to do with cash, either. Seems to me these are the people most in need of uplift, no?

I'm not too worried about most lawyers getting automated out of a job anytime soon, after all, to the extent where I want to see the economy overturned for the likes of them.
All is about threat model. I really would love to switch to firefox but afaik it's less secure. So who would hurt me more, so random dude or corporation? My choice is simple.

It's the same with all messengers. I use facebook messenger (because everybody around me use it) and i know that they collect a lot of data (and have acess to my chats). For me, still threat isn't facebook but my acquaintances who use weak password, so they're easy target (and my messages would be compromised).

We have to change our mind about computers. Everything can be exploited and used against us.

> I now owe 2.5% of these sky-rocketing property values every year

Just as a UBI gives people an income floor, I think that a land tax should come with a personal allowance below which you are exempt.

To do some rough calculations, the US state with the highest population density is New Jersey, at 1,210.1 people per square mile, which equates to 23,038 square feet per person. The average American house size is apparently 2,687 square feet, which is typically shared by multiple people, so the allowance could be comfortably set to maybe 10,000 square feet per person.
In the 1980s I was impressed with LapLink software which I used to move files between computers. The copy I bought came with cables to connect the computers, both serial and parallel cables. The serial cable had 25 pin and 9 pin connectors on both ends. If one PC did not have a disk drive, they gave you instructions to write a short command to re-direct the serial input. LapLink would then transfer itself across the serial link and begin running.

I don't really think that the 'online mob' has the right to hold someone's past actions over their head, and expect some public appeasement before it relents.
At my last eye appointment, I directly asked the optometrist why this couldn't all be automated. His visibly frustrated response was that an eye exam is about finding early signs of eye diseases, like macular degeneration, as much as finding the prescription. I didn't have the guts to ask why that couldn't be automated.
If they could actually enforce this then I would be all for it. Crypto mining is the biggest and most pointless waste of energy since nuclear weapons testing. All these crypto miners are just making the planet hotter, while pissing off people who have more legitimate uses for these cards but cannot realistically obtain one because they are being hogged by the miners.
I admire the optimism and motivational tone of the article, but fairs and expos are a thing of the past. We don't need to build elaborate, carefully constructed single-use cities to showcase the scientific advances of the world. Those showcases happen day by day on the internet and mass media.
Where do you think those theaters redoing other people's shows get those shows? Do you think Broadways playwrights and musical composers do what they do so the show can run in one theater for a month then in every community theater in the country the next month, undercutting their market?

The Georgist land value (which Altman suggests might be more practically replaced by a system linked to actual property transaction values) is still going to be a sufficiently large proportion of the value of a typical home to ensure pretty much anyone not living in a multistorey tenement block is paying massively higher tax rates on their home than anyone pays on a YC company.

Yes, but if you take the software from the App Store, you are bound by App Store TOS. The TOS supercedes any Free Software rights you may have had from the license; and prohibits you from redistributing the software, which trips GPL's no-further-restrictions clause. Of course, you can take both sets of terms for the App Store and a self-compiled version, and you can then distribute modifications to the source code of the self-compiled version under GPL terms. But you cannot upload software to the App Store under GPL terms without violating the GPL.

In practice, this means you cannot actually put GPL applications on iOS unless you get a CLA from every developer on the project. This means a lot of perfectly good GPL-licensed applications will never actually get ported to iOS. You'll never see, say, Blender or Krita on iPad until and unless they CLA all their developers so that they can actually distribute the port legally.

If Blender Foundation or whoever runs Krita does have a CLA requirement for contributors, then consider that particular example corrected, but my point still stands: You should be able to distribute GPL software on the App Store and have the GPL terms supercede the App Store TOS.
But I fear kotlin will fall in-between all the platforms they try to support, and will end up comparatively bad on all. Like, you can’t really target both your coroutines on each platform as well as project loom properly, same with project Valhalla and the like.
I just find something very cold and socially undesirable in the idea that somebody can spend a lifetime putting in the work to get the home they want, only to be forced out because "society" decides they are no longer productive. I'm no NIMBY—those people shouldn't have the right to stop others from developing their own properties—but I'm not sure I like the idea of economic incentives kicking the least productive to the curb because it's "efficient".
All accurate. My point is that Kub deprecating the shimming does not affect Docker’s popularly or market share either way. The existence of the shim was an implementation detail and Docker themselves have been encouraging the switch to containerd. They clearly want the Docker brand to be attached to developer-facing tools instead of a hidden piece of increasingly commoditized infrastructure.

If a critical mass of kubernetes deployments switched from containerd to cri-o, that would be more problematic for Docker, but that seems unlikely to happen. Openshift to my knowledge is the only major kubernetes distribution not based on containerd. At this stage of the adoption cycle, cri-o is unlikely to be more than a distant second to containerd.
Another right wing argument for UBI is that it reduces the possibility of being trapped in welfare by being disincentivized to earn more, since earning more in a traditional means-tested welfare system means that entitlements get removed.

The UBI has no such inbuilt disincentive for work.

> Tesla is literally the largest selling EV maker in China.

That's true for the Model 3 for the first half of 2020 only, they were a long way behind in 2019 and were outsold by the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV in the second half of 2020. Most of their competitors sell multiple models as well meaning that in some of those months they sold more EVs than Tesla overall.

The Model 3 smashed it for a few months last year, but they're not the largest selling EV maker in China.
Interesting.

> With hindsight, you could have invested in all kinds of stupid things and still have made money.

Exactly, thanks for proving my point. It's stupid easy to make money by investing it right now so why are you telling people not to do it?
It makes sense to me that you'd need a way to regulate the platform's content to avoid it filling up with the spammy garbage that LinkedIn is known for, and I'm not sure what the right solution is. You've obviously spent more time thinking about this than I have, but my gut reaction is that this scoring approach would be super harmful for non-traditional or non-elite candidates.

To use tech as an example, in the limit, regardless of how meritocratic we claim we are as an industry, my experience has been that folks hiring technical teams are more receptive to inquiries from someone with an Ivy League education in CS than they are from someone self-taught without a degree or who has a degree in something unrelated. I assume that reaching out to several hiring managers and getting zero response would hurt your TRU score, regardless of the quality of your messages. Meanwhile a traditional candidate with a higher response rate wouldn't see their score fall quite as much, even if they couldn't pass a simple fizzbuzz technical screen.

Having to work harder than a traditional candidate to get a response is expected in this scenario, but it'd be a huge bummer if the platform itself acted as a gatekeeper in this way.
I still use my old copy of Deluxe Paint II under Dosbox. It’s a bit rough, because of the LBM format, which adds an extra step in a more modern tool to add transparency and convert to PNG, but works well for my needs.

Also, the DP2 drawing primitives are soooo easy to use that I find any other tool too cumbersome.
Well the size of the pie is still the same in this plan. All it would do is shuffle the money around a little bit, so some artists earn less and others more. The top demand from the linked campaign is for Spotify to pay out >3x what they currently do to artists, which is a completely different (and much more significant) ask.
Yes it is similar, but the smaller indie studio model is much more viable than it was a decade or two ago, particularly for unique games that find deep popularity with a small niche. (See Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, Coffee Stain Studios)

I think independent video game dev is good for people who want to write the game anyways, and want to monetize to allow them to keep working on it. But, it is very unlikely to make you significant wealth.
Not freeing memory, but tracking down memory leaks. We rarely even hear that term nowadays, but most large commercial programs used to have them.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I think it works for him though, his audience see themselves as "readers" and I think the prolixity adds a certain sheen of "seriousness" to his writing. I don't think he would hold the status of emerging thought-leader/authoritative thinker that he has in tech circles if he wrote quicker, punchier pieces.

I think that you have a point about how the media portrayal of Trump differed from the reality, but Trump is an example of what I'm saying. He had some good instincts, and a vague sense that we lost our way forty or so years ago, and he may value family, markets, and some sort of liberty, but he can't mount a coherent defense of those things, because he doesn't really understand them. He has some positions, albeit flexible ones and an odd mix at that, but no underlying principles — no philosophy of liberty. How can you expect to move a country in the right direction, and make a lasting change to how we think politically, without principles?
Yeah but I want to be able to only buy one disc, take it out after the game starts on PC 1, and pop it into PC 2 for multiplayer.
I've been visiting all of the Great Lakes except Lake Ontario pretty regularly since I was a kid in the 1980s. The zebra mussels have really improved the clarity of the water, but at significant expense to humans, native mussels, and likely a lot of other species[1]. The effect on the inland lake where we stay has been dramatic, too. The water clarity changed dramatically in just a few years. Their effects make the water very photogenic, but I'm sure it's a net negative.

Developing now 80% in Kotlin and 20% in Java (on backend), I really think the main advantage of Kotlin over Java is nullability. You can use @Nullable/@NotNull annotations in Java, but nullability being a part of the type system in Kotlin is better. I also love being able to create simple functions and add extension methods to existing classes. But still, nullability is the strongest advantage of Kotlin and I don’t see how Java will address it.

Afaik it’s more secure. Personally, I’ve enabled DNS-over-HTTPS and HTTPS-only mode, which are both available as standard options in Firefox. There are more security options on the about:config page.

Of course, there’s also Enhanced Tracking Protection, which is enabled by default. It’s more of a privacy feature, but it has a positive effect on security as well..

When did I say they required a smartphone? A landline will work perfectly fine for "voice" 2FA, and just about anything but a landline will work for SMS 2FA.

“has the Swift cross platform support improved?”

That’s hard to answer without a “since when”, but the answer probably is “yes”. See https://swift.org/platform-support. There are Windows binaries now, for example.

Many of Apple’s libraries aren’t available on non-Apple platforms, though, so many would say it hasn’t improved enough to be competitive with other languages.
