Yup. I feel as if I have done well, in that arena. I was a manager, for 25 years. I managed a couple of people "on the spectrum," and they were (and still are) amazing.

Last night, I watched The Accountant again. I really enjoy that movie. It does kinda go a bit crazy in advocating for autistic people (I get the feeling it was written by people that studied hard, but maybe don't have a lot of personal experience), but it's really fun.

I wish I had a teak-lined camper and a Renoir in my bedroom, but I'm fairly happy how things turned out.
The compiler has gotten faster over the years; don't forget that rustup makes it easy to try out older compilers; if your code would have compiled on Rust 1.0, you can

$ rustup install 1.0.0

$ cargo +1.0.0 run

to give it a shot!

This is all pretty silly, isn't it? For the dollar figures involved in pulling off a highly-sophisticated attack (one that chains multiple zero days, including some in obscure products that imply the commissioning of vulnerabilities and not just their purchase off the black-market shelf as well as some in mainstream products with a real bidding interest), you're still talking about amounts of money so low that Cape Verde could be a _very_ competent cyber-actor if they wanted.
> It's in almost everyone's interest to keep Iran from getting nukes.

It’s in almost everyone’s interest, absent complete regional disarmament in WMD, for someone other than Israel in the region to get nukes, and Iran is probably the least-bad option.

OTOH, it would reduce the possibility of eventually convincing Israel to go the South Africa route, but its dubious whether that can be managed anyway, short of a similar trigger, which doesn’t seem likely in Israel for both demographic and geopolitical reasons.

These companies seem to have been digging their own graves for the past decade or so.

Their old school methods are not adequate, their customer base is shrinking, they can't seem to be able to even copy other companies' monetization strategies. At least try to do what Riot Games is doing with League of Legends or something.

I haven't watched a Hollywood movie in years, I haven't watched any sports in over a decade.

And I see young people just not caring about them at all, preferring Youtube/Instagram/etc celebrities over old school celebrities, esports and small time stuff over big time events, and they certainly don't pay for cable TV (what the heck is that?).

These real sports companies will go the way of Blockbuster and Sears, imo.
Steve Ballmer Going Crazy on Stage [video]
I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't own a modern VR headset ?

Although, you still could and have this opinion I'm just curious.

Honestly even if you don't own one I'm not saying we should dismiss your opinion. Honestly it arguably means more or I should say could mean more.

The thing that sticks out to me is, do you think these are good arguments for "games won't grow" or "Vr usage won't grow" ?

I'm thinking about when video games first were gaining popularity since it's a really good comparison imo.

~ * tv/game eye problems
~ * limited controls
~ * very crude interfaces
~ * expensive hardware (thinking of original pc games to even the N64 $100+)

So if we're not close to the ideal then it's not worth it ? "Matrix days is a long way off.", yeah it probably is... so ?

If you want VR of today or even in 5 years to be the "Matrix" or the holy grail of VR then yes you will be dissapointed.

All that to say this hypothesis you're proposing : "Vr won't grow a whole lot because we're far away from the Matrix vr experience" is not totally unreasonable but I personally think it's really weak and historically proven wrong in so many industries.
Roud Folk Song Index
"The Roud Folk Song Index is a database of around 250,000 references to nearly 25,000 songs collected from oral tradition in the English language from all over the world. It is compiled by Steve Roud, a former librarian in the London Borough of Croydon. Roud's Index is a combination of the Broadside Index (printed sources before 1900) and a 'field-recording index' compiled by Roud. It subsumes all the previous printed sources known to Francis James Child (the Child Ballads) and includes recordings from 1900 to 1975. Until early 2006 the index was available by a CD subscription; now it can be found online on the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library website, maintained by the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS). A partial list is also available at List of folk songs by Roud number."
Ivan I just want to say that you are so incredibly generous in your comments, your attitude, everything. You're inspiring! Thank you!
IMO better comparison will be AWS Fargate vs GKE Autopilot.
>That’s a hard comparison as there many variables during past case declines too when curfew lifted

Certainly, but if the curfew was the determinant factor, then we would not see the decline persist past it's relaxation or removal.

>However, right now Ontario has had a total lockdown for a while, but no curfew.

Even the implementation of the major measures in January 1st did not have much effect outside of healthcare until around 2 weeks afterwards. It's only been four days since Ontario implemented similar measures. The earlier "lockdown" was a lockdown in name only and even allowed gyms and indoor-dining to be open. For this comparison to be made we will still have to wait at least ten days.

As it stands, the only conclusion we can take from this data we have so far is that the curfew is likely not the decisive, as case declines persisted after it's removal and relaxation.

The priors we have from expert opinions and even government officials is that the lockdown is not expect to be effective.

From this, I can't conclude anything except that the lockdowns are likely not effective.
Your English is good but your plan is bad. You need more content, more structure, and a 3 year multi stage plan. (Of which 1 year is focused around getting employed.) Acquire some credentials. You are aiming too low. Anyone with the aptitude to be a professional programmer can earn a lot more than $900/mo.
In nations like the US (outside the DC-to-Boston corridor anyway) without a well-designed and -maintained rail infastructure,

The U.S. has the world's best designed and maintained rail infrastructure. It's simply that, unlike every other country with a national rail network, America's rail system is designed for freight traffic, because now and historically passenger traffic in America has always been such a small portion of trips that it has never been worth the investment to prioritize people over goods. If transporting people had ever been more profitable than transporting cargo, America would have more rail lines dedicated to transporting people.
I am in no way condoning sports piracy, or any other sort of piracy, but watching sports has become so incredibly difficult using legal means as to be virtually impossible.

I am a foreigner in my country of residence, I only own an Android smart TV (Philips, and with minor side-loading patches, all ads and nonsense are removed).

I used to run a media PC as my TV because local media options are so bad, and I cannot get "cable" because the TV corner, and telekoms corner of my apartment are opposite.

By now, it is impossible to watch MotoGP, or Formula 1 on a SmartTV using any kind of app in either my host, or home language - my choices are streaming with DRM via custom apps on some platforms (Apple iPad, desktop browser with DRM plugins), or to subscribe for €50/month to a nonsense cable package I won't use.

I maintained the desktop PC and fought with VPNs (and, the arms-race of anti-vpn, with DNS tricking from the stream host) to get a stream (Eurosport, if I recall) for a while, but at some point the VPN detection was reliable enough that I couldn't watch UK Eurosports, just EU Eurosport which didn't show the same streams.

In the end, I'm 18+ months out of any kind of motorsports, and completely lost the interest after a lifetime of being enthralled. They are killing these sports for internet audiences.

Thank you for this. Freud has a bad reputation among people who know nothing, but he was flawed genius who gave us the basis for what we do know about the mind. He’s only remembered for the goofy parts because the rest is just “how things obviously work”—-obvious, of course, only after his work.

> Having a few months to a year of expenses on the side fixes this.

It doesn't, for me. I'm sitting at ~12mo with full expenses. I budget everything, so i do me full expenses, all the niceties, enterainment, etc. If i lost my job i could probably stretch it to ~24mo with the fat cut away.

Still, i worry. Keep in mind i do partially agree with you, paycheck to paycheck is a massive concern for people. It's why i obsessively envelope budget. But the concern i described in my prior post is a concern of skill, interview success, etc. Ie, feeling unsure in success of finding a job in my career path.

I haven't worked on the money side of a business - businesses are allowed to claim an expense for purposes of reducing their income tax burden, but they don't have to pay sales taxes on that same expense if it's internal to an associated business? That seems perverse.

"I spent money on X"

"Okay where's the sales tax payments for X?"

"The money went to myself, so there's no sales tax"

"So then you didn't spend the money?"

"Yes I did."

Also in my opinion, blue teaming is harder. Red team has to find one weakness to win. If blue team misses any system, vulnerability, process, anything, they are in trouble against the right attackers.

This can be seen by how many automated infiltration agents are around, and how few automated defense systems. And how annoyingly succesful they are.

Thanks. That, too, is a learnable (and teachable) skill. It did not (and still does not) come naturally to me. Took me about 20 years of concerted effort to really figure it out (and I sometimes lapse even now). But in retrospect well worth the effort.
Fair point. In case of GameStop it was more like a casino running out of chips and being obliged to get them at any price. A real casino would simply stop letting people in... and that’s what happened with the help of DTCC.

So I think the one thing that will resonate with the HN crowd is the fact that Stan Prokopenko, one of the hosts, is also some sort of small-time tech entrepreneur. This comes up throughout the episodes but two that really focus on his efforts are:

If you take programming/hacking as an art and hold fierce ideals over it, some of their other episodes might also benefit you, either personally or professionally:

I just want to say, whatever your feelings about programming as an art there are still definitely differences between the two industries. I might just be biased because if I didn't love my paycheck too much, I'd probably be making indie comics.
UPDATE: spelling.
Well, I can continue on listing problems with X. How about HDPI? Or mixed HDPI? I’m sure some things can be retrofitted, but I still don’t see why should we continue with a protocol not planned for/with modern hardware in mind.

Also, regarding network transparency. As you note, most apps are no longer network transparent, and remote window streaming can be much better solved with modern compressions/encoding. It doesn’t have to be part of the core protocol, the latter should only concern itself with displaying rectangles on the screen. Everything else can be built on top of it.

Also, while in itself not a good argument, both MacOS and windows use a compositor since forever.
What aggression‽ Has israel ever stated that their one mission in life is to wipe out iran? Cause iran HAS stated that towards israel.

Self defence isn't aggression. If you provide a credible threat against me, you better believe I'll punch you in the face and knock you out first.
Sure. There is no denying that. I will only add that the predictions I think you are referring to never made it beyond numbers on a sheet ( bond buying and the like ). Supply increased, economy was stabilized, but money touched main street directly.

Still, your main point is valid.

>But we really don't have an evidence that vaccine-induced immunity response prevents virus transmission.

What I have a problem with here is how the goalposts for going back to normal just continue to push out like this. First it was just reducing R0 to a certain level. Then it was vaccination. Now it's something else that is yet undefined. It's impossible to come up with a rule because someone will always bring up some extreme edge case and say "well we don't really know with P99 certainty". This isn't a reasonable way to manage a society. At some point we need to acknowledge and ingest the remaining risk so that, for mental health reasons and others, our society can return to something that resembles normalcy.

You can still do it, but the "old school" way of doing it is much less flexible.

For this kind of setup, prometheus and grafana are not complicated (close to 0 configuration), and docker mostly works out of the box on linux hosts, barring nftables shenanigans. You end up with something that "just works", is pretty, and does not require fiddling.

Technically I do find this overkill for "home network monitoring", but at least it does not require k8s so I won’t complain.
Now that a lot of GTK mindshare seems to be moving towards gtk-rs, I have a feeling that it's about to get a lot less instantaneous.

This isn't a swipe at Rust, per se: if you're using Rust you've probably already decided that build speed and portability aren't as important as memory safety and performance, and I'm sure that's often a valid trade-off.

I do think that "dev builds" should be much faster than release builds, and that means building natively should be default.

Israel is a heavily militarized society with a strong military-industrial complex. Relatively speaking, it is more powerful than the American military-industrial complex. Thus what you get is policy that favors the weapons industry and those in the military community but which is not beneficial to Israel as a whole. The Palestinians aren't enough of a punching bag so Iran needs to be painted as the great Satan to sell more military equipment.

Anbox is not considered a reasonable standard solution for running anything on the PinePhone due to its resource requirements. Also, that citation you give supports my claim above.

Yes, the PinePhone may offer the prospect of someday being a reasonable libre phone alternative (assuming it isn’t a stillborn project, as I fear), but you keep painting a rosier picture of it now than is warranted.
