I do mostly Windows, and given the option would rather keep doing so, however you just reminded me of the "fun" of writing ISAPI extensions on Windows 2000.

For those unaware of it, IIS used to execute fully on kernel level, so ISAPI extensions were comparable to device drivers, which meant any programming error would just kill the kernel, thus requiring a reboot.

So tracking down memory corruption issues on ISAPI extensions was bound to have a countless amount of reboots during the work day.

You're denying the builder a sale of a new house.

I spent a while trying to parse this, and it doesn't make a lick of sense.

Brainfuck is a classical example of a turing complete language that doesn't have a notion of functions. What does "recursion" mean here? Nothing, I think. So you don't need recursion for Turing completeness.

Some people work on languages that support functions as first class objects, which don't natively support recursion. This is nice from a language design standpoint, because functions only see the scope of their arguments and can't look any further. The "Y Combinator" pattern is used to bootstrap recursion into these languages. You may have heard of it.

Turing-incomplete languages can also support unlimited recursion. For example, take a Turing complete language, and equip it with a state of the art theorem prover. Before entering a loop, or calling a function, the theorem prover is allowed to spend up to 1 minute proving that the loop or function call will terminate. If the theorem prover times out, the program halts with an error. Some functions, such as a naive implementation of factorial, can be easily proved to halt for all inputs. So this language allows recursion, but by construction, all programs terminate, so it's turing incomplete.

Microsoft is getting really lazy with their new "PowerShell for everything" mantra. Many examples with Windows Server and even the Azure Portal.

I am curious to know how this analysis factors in the need for storage of wind/solar for periods when it is not windy/sunny. When I looked through the report, I only saw this.

> We are already seeing combined renewables-plus-storage plants win competitive solicitations and capture some of this value in high solar-and wind-potential regions (empirically, this appears to add roughly $4-8/MWh to renewable energy costs). We expect the trend to continue as battery prices slide down the learning curve.

My interpretation is that wind/solar plus storage is more expensive, which undercuts competitiveness outside of the most windy/sunny locations. I am as excited as anyone about new developments in storage technology, but it seems like it's still a significant challenge.

Was it discussed elsewhere, or is anyone else aware of other information regarding the combined cost? It seems like this one statement somewhat undermines the conclusion, unless I'm missing something.

You didn't supply any kind of argument. Your comment can be reduced to "If you want a good salary, you are not one of us."

As a person who loved gaming and wanted to work in that industry, you are the reason I didn't go for it.

This is a fair take, but modern gaming companies have similar margins as other consumer tech companies since they are operating on profitable business models such as subscription and micro-transactions.

The gaming industry has been playing the same card movie studios play which is “This is a passion industry. Come and work for us but we can only offer this range of compensation and this type of contracts because we are making this single thing that needs to first break even before it can even generate a profit”.

The problem with that idea is that gaming in general doesn’t operate that like that anymore. Game developers can now tap into scalable royalty programs like Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Now and Apple Arcade. Or they can build free games with micro-transactions.

Building AAA games is still a huge investment. But gaming companies nowadays have way more avenues to generate revenue. So it’s sad that they still play that card to pay lower wages than in other tech-verticals.

If your love for games is such that you are willing to get a lower salary just to be part of that creation process, that’s fair. But expect to be dealt the same “do it for the experience, not for the money” card even when you reach levels of proficiency and skill that deserve higher wages.
It's all about the environment. The pay was shit, but having the devs on another project letting you play their in-progress work and give real feedback at lunch or playing board games with the design team whose job is to literally go out to Walmart, buy board games, and come back and analyze them, then go home and play WoW in your company guild, its just not an experience you can get anywhere else.

It may be an unpopular opinion, but game devs are paid correctly since game companies offer an experience and culture that is totally their own. It's too bad one eventually needs to move on to a inferior environment in search of more income and free time.
"Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

"Windows v Linux" is a classic example of a generic black hole, sucking passing spaceships into a state from which no light can emerge: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

To be fair, this is a co-creation between the comment and the upvotes, and the upvotes are more to blame.

This is actually what's going on. It's what HSTS and HSTS preloading protects you against, it's why Chrome is moving to just assuming HTTPS when you type domain names without specifying, and it's why Firefox now has "HTTPS only mode" where it goes further and just rewrites all HTTP as HTTPS (even in random links you follow) and gives you an interstitial caution page to decide if you really want to try HTTP when HTTPS fails.

People have all these fancy high-tech Hollywood-style theories about how they imagine things being attacked, but the reality is almost always far more boring.

> I don't see what this has to do with fact checking.

It's weird that the group that is getting the most dangerous misinformation about Covid has a better idea of the risks of it. And this is one area in which fact checking has been prominent and possibly over-zealous. It can shut down conversations too quickly instead of letting people come to understanding.

I think it's at least partially because it's hard to advocate for a middle-of-the-road position, each side thinks you're an undercover partisan for the other. So it's hard to advocate for something like quit complaining about masks, they're not that great but they are helping, vaccines work and you should get them unless you have medical issues, but they're not 100%, some lockdowns probably cause more harm than help, some of the rules are either nonsense or enforced in silly ways that have nothing to do with Covid risk, and the virus is dangerous but the risk isn't evenly distributed across all populations, and even if it's not a big risk to you personally, you're being a real jerk if you go out a lot and help unknowingly spread it.

For the latter point, bombing government buildings is a central example of terrorism and nobody thinks there's a crime of "terrorism" when they hear "convicted terrorist." By the same standard, Snopes would have to say that the 9-11 hijackers were not terrorists. The slipperiness of the word is entirely a matter of people who want it to be about the goodness or badness of the person instead of achieving political goals by initiating violence.
> though it differs from cat to cat.

That's the problem: people are extrapolating species-wide behavior from a tiny sampling of an animal with high variability. Some feral sisters have set up shop on a family member's property and given birth to several litters so at this point I've got experience with two dozen cats over my lifetime. The natural variability in personality I've observed in three month old kittens raised in the same environment by two biological sisters (who themselves have vastly different personalities), is staggering. I have no freaking clue where people get most of their cat stereotypes.

> If it were only about liking cucumbers you would expect it to gobble down the nearest delicious thing it sees

Why? I can't imagine anyone in my family eating a cucumber after a cat has bitten it for sanitary reasons so I expect he quickly learned that the more cucumbers he nibbled on the more he got (these are home grown cucumbers, not the giant monstrosities in US supermarkets, so he'd want more than one).
> I don't think I'm greedy for trying to see if a 100k salary

I don't think it's greedy either, but it's also obviously past the point of "can I make a living doing this". After all, median individual income is less than half of that.

"a living" and "the kind of living I want" are different things, obviously.

This is certainly valid, but it also assumes the current publishing model (as in, how could I, one writer, make $100,000 of the $28 billion pie). Which also assumes that I would need to reach mass appeal (re: sell lots of copies) as an author to be successful in that paradigm.

What I am asking is, is it possible for me, who already has a niche audience for my writing, to have those followers support me as a writer? Can I add enough value to that small audience, that they want to pay to subscribe to my work? Would 1,000 people pay $100/year? Or 2,000 people pay $50/year?

This is different from selling books. It's selling a platform.
