I made a Flash game way back in 2004 called Proximity[1] that was fairly popular. Whenever I want to learn a new language/platform, I tend to port a new version of that game to that language.

I don't always release it publicly, but it's a 'solved' program that I don't have to spend time reworking how the core of it works (needs a hex grid with number tiles, mouse or keyboard input, a menu system, computer opponents, etc), although I might rework some things or add new features to it.

I've done this to learn C# (and XNA), Java (and J2ME), Objective-C (and OpenGL ES), Swift (and SpriteKit), and LUA (with Pico-8).

I've also made versions in Python (text console), for Kindle, and the original was in Flash, but I knew the tech ahead of time.

I recommend it. Can be anything relatively simple. Make a blackjack game, a version of tetris, a Todo app, a Sudoku solver, a web service, whatever seems interesting to you.

I would take a paycut to have much less work hours. Could be a win-win but maybe a lot of people prefer to earn more.
As someone who has been on Humira for 4 years, I find this infuriating. Yeah, it’s expensive (this is more about US pharmaceutical licensing than anything else). But it works.

Biologics are wonder drugs and the thought that curcumin comes close to putting these diseases into into remission belongs on the pages of some pop science website, not HN.

I thought the shady part was that it was advertised as child pornography, not the affiliate marketing aspect.
It's law, but it still gets abused quite frequently (outside of tech, at least).

Anecdotally speaking, all my mates who work in private construction office jobs regularly do quite a bit of unpaid overtime. It's very much a combined cultural and managerial issue, clocking off at the correct hours gets you the stink-eye, and the volume of work assigned necessitates overtime.
You're completely wrong. Upper management is where the policies come from. They don't push back on URA targets because they either don't care or don't have the backbone to.

If your L7 is doing that, look to change teams. Incompetent people can't be fixed.
Seems more likely that what has happened before will happen again, which is to say that Jupiter or Saturn pull it apart into asteroids and perhaps new moons.

Jupiter's orbit is roughly five AUs, and Saturn's orbit is at roughly ten, and in those regions, they have enormous influence on where stuff gets to go in the solar system.
Did you start Julia with multiple threads?
Julia unfortunately starts with only a single thread by default, and the slow time you reported (14 ms) makes it appear that this may have been the case.

You can start `julia -t4` for 4 threads, for example.
Or you can set the environmental variable `JULIA_NUM_THREADS=4`.

If you were using the same number of threads for both, mind letting me know which CPU you're using?
You are misunderstanding what I am saying. I am saying that it only takes one person who finds a vulnerability to disclose it, to a first approximation. Realistically it’s probably closer to 2-3 since the first might be working for the NSA, the CCP, etc. I am making no arguments about what amount of effort it takes to find a vulnerability, just talking about how not every single user of a piece of code needs to verify it.
My god, it's full of pithy remarks!
It's worse than that.

They're calling their OF (and Instagram) account a "business" and their title is "CEO."

So ... "I'm CEO of my own business."

And after they want out of the "business", they invariably blame society for any criticism. Youtube has recent interviews/rants with Mia K. and Lana R. on that. (Thanks, YT algorithm.)

FYI: Anyway, back in the day, I knew a local celebrity model. I asked her how she handled fame, and she said she appreciates if men say "Hello" to her if they run into each other on the street and she's recognized, to make her more comfortable for her personal safety.

Otherwise she got a weird vibe since she knew that he knew who she was, but wasn't acknowledging that, especially if she recognized his face from before.

She also said she could handle men hitting on her, but "it got to be too much" when women were also doing that. :)
Where "the equilibrium" ends up changes over time though. Over the past 40-50 years in most developed countries, capital's (i.e. businesses') share of gross national income has been rising and labor's has been falling. This means that on average "the middle" has been trending towards companies paying less for the same amount of labor.

It sounds like you want them to ban working from an office? If a bunch of employees working in the same region want to work in an office, why stop them?
Well yes, and 11 AU is still further than Saturn's orbit. The asteroid belt contains objects of similar size that are far closer.

You need a healthy mix of workers and owners. Those owners need incentives, and workers need protection.

Money is a powerful drug and society needs to tame the habit. Otherwise, you will end up with conditions equal to slavery for the workers and royalty for the capital owners.

All this will lead to is revolutions and bloodshed.

Its ok to sacrifice rapid growth, in cycles, to steady but slower growth that has none.
I actually wonder if it’s possible to write code at such a macro level as to obfuscate, say, a keylogger in a huge codebase such that reviewing just a single module/unit would not reveal that something bad is going on.
The parallel use of fixed point and floating point instructions was used in the software renderer of quake, where the division necessary to compute perspective correct texture mapping was issued to the fpu while rendering 16 pixels using integer instructions.
I think people might be a little confused about what the government is telegraphing here.

Japanese labour regulations are very strict, in particular around hours worked. Basically all employees (yes, including engineers) need to clock in and out, the concept of a "salaried worker" doesn't really exist, although normally engineers are paid for a certain number of hours regardless if they are actually worked. Primarily it is to make sure that overtime is paid and not excessive, but I believe there are also some related to the definition of what a "full time" job is.

So, it sounds to me like the government is considering relaxing those definitions on minimum hours worked to make it easier for firms to adopt 4 day work week if they so choose.
Background - Oct 12, 2011:

> Google engineer Steve Yegge was trying to start a robust internal discussion, not post a viral hit, when he published a 4,570-word self-styled rant about what he sees as the company’s greatest flaw to Google+. Unfortunately for Yegge, he didn’t check the settings and shared his view on Google’s failure to grasp platforms over products — including Google+ — with everyone.

> He later pulled it down on his own accord but he and Google aren’t asking that the copies already spread across the net be deleted. You can read the full post here and here, among other locations — and you should to get the real flavor about why Yegge thinks the company that does nearly everything right gets this fundamental so wrong. But a large chunk is also about his former employer Amazon, what it does wrong and how Jeff Bezos — Steve Jobs “without the fashion or design sense” — got it so right.

Thanks, now I understand where this is coming from.

And the linked article makes clear it's not a worry at all. Key part:

> All in all, there is absolutely zero reason to worry about SSD data retention in typical client environment. Remember that the figures presented here are for a drive that has already passed its endurance rating, so for new drives the data retention is considerably higher, typically over ten years for MLC NAND based SSDs...

Average users virtually never pass the endurance rating, so @teddyh's claim seems awfully sensationalistic.
Good point, fair enough. We should push back against that narrative, then, I guess is my point.
Where do you think the salary comes from in the beginning?

Maybe they should start with 8-hour days, then do a 4-day workweek XD
Your example is anecdotal, while search shows that most of the medical research is gov money via universities.
Also, note that Julia starts with only a single thread by default. You'd either need to add `-t4` when starting julia, e.g. `julia -t4`, or set the environmental variable `JULIA_NUM_THREADS=4` for 4 threads, for example.
At least WFH would be normalized which is a big win

(I meant “Your ideas about provability,” not “Improbability.” My phone changed it, so it probably sounded like nonsense. Point is, it seems to me that your ideas about the incompleteness theorem might be true, and I am surprised and impressed that you’re in here explaining to everyone mathematically why they might be true. I don’t have the expertise to judge, but I recognize excellence when I see it. And your explanations are clearly excellent, because if they were mistaken, someone could check your math and point out the mistake. But no one has done that, so it seems to me you might be correct, even though everyone seems to think it’s guaranteed you’re wrong.)

If there’s somewhere I can follow your work in this area, I would be interested to see how it turns out. For example, if you’ve written a paper on this subject, or if there’s some place online where you post updates related to this.

Either way, good luck!

What a colossal twat.
If I ate lunch I was expected to stay from 9 to 6.
The business processes of the companies involved in each transaction would ensure the keys/tokens were associated with a physical inventory under their control. MRP systems can manage the warehouse & inventory. The chips themselves don’t have to be marked.
It is definitely a heavy burden for low income families. But I don't think it is as expensive as some people make it out to be. I just checked at the daycare we send our kid to part time. And it looks like all day, 5 days a week, including breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack is $875/mo. And I live in an expensive California suburb.

Now, that will certainly get expensive if you have multiple kids under 5 all going at once. But it turned out to be a lot cheaper than I thought.

I think some of the parents complaining are the same ones that are "applying" to these fancy, artisanal day cares that will teach your toddler how to do algebra in French.
Wouldn't it be cool if in addition to a 4 day work week, that those days could be flexible. It could actually benefit the both society and the company, as in the company is operating in some form 7 days a week for customers. And for society the 'weekend' is more flexible which improves traffic during the week and the overcrowding you typically find on saturday/sunday.
> Is this actually still applied in 2021?

Yes, absolutely. Arguably even more so now that Lambda and ECS/Fargate have reduced the cost of standing up a simple service.
And do a lot more work for way less money? Your work will have more impact, that's for sure. But at some point you'll have a higher-level realization that you're still working in a capitalist hellhole and you're not being fairly compensated for the risk compared to the VCs or the founders. If I was going to work in a startup or FAANG from 22-30, I'd pick FAANG for the guaranteed million dollars in the bank.

The only exception I'd personally make is to found a startup with people I enjoy on a problem that I'm personally motivated by. This is basically a band for capitalistic nerds. Even then, you still have to allow VCs to suck out your soul.
I'm restoring an oughties ranger for this exact reason. I'll start buying up other Rangers for parts when they hit the market at an affordable price, and I'll keep it running until the sun burns out, or the state decides to come for my death trap.

After that, I'll probably become Amish or something.
At least in the states most places require you to "make up" your lunch. So normally you'd show up at 8 and work until 5 to make up for an hour lunch. This is true for both hourly and salary.
At the beginning of civilized society? From the government itself. Then it slowly evolves into capital flow to people closely connected to the government (aristocrats, royalty, etc) and then to common people through banks.

You seem to imply that for any entrepreneurship, you need to have no worker protections at all. But that is simply false.
This is disturbing.
Honestly, I can only imagine this is informed by a relatively privileged place in society.

First of all, your focus on this boogeyman of work/life balance assumes that all but a small percent of the global population even has enough autonomy in their employment to enjoy any balance whatsoever. Most everyone in the world is at sustenance levels of labor, "work/life balance" is the work of being alive. Secondly, JIT everything worked for the past 100 years, failed during an unprecedented in history event (we've had pandemics, but we've never "shut down" society) and will probably recover to do well until the next once-in-a-century event. Solving the global emissions crises isn't going to occur via the wealthiest working remotely or "learning to live with less". Population growth is far and away the biggest contributor to global climate change. Not your commute to the office, but growing enough food, building enough homes and providing for nearly 10 billion people and counting. Again, most of these people don't have anywhere near the luxury of bemoaning a poor work/life balance.

It is so telling that the answer you see to solve the woes of modern society -- which as you are commenting on HN, you and me and the rest of us are beneficiaries of -- is to work less and remotely. What sacrifice you make for the good of the world!

I am sorry I just am beyond over the sanctimony and self-importance of everyone. Now that _you_ have _yours_ and can relax in relative comfort, lets call it a day and cut off the engine that rose you and yours out of poverty for those poor schmucks still dreaming of the comfort of a 40-hour work week.
Considering the #1 use case widely discussed for NFT's is establishing authenticity+ownership of art both digital and physical, I'd say you seem to have missed the point.

You clearly seem to have a strong opinion about it, but your opinion seems to be entirely against the mainstream NFT conversation.

And please don't insult people by claiming their ignorance is "understandable" because their brains aren't "flexible" enough.
This could make it a little more difficult to keep track of companies that have a 4 day week[0], but a good problem to have I guess!

Working 60hr/week for a startup is completely illogical. It's the sort of thing you only do drunk on kool-aid.
Criticism isn't attack.

Nearly all had some issue. It doesn't mean they were completely unusable.

The disconnect is between common practice and good practice. Low contrast was 1 of the common problems. Usually this is a choice. And it's trivial to check.
Wow, thanks for sharing that.
So how are you and the business now?
“Jeff Bezos doesn’t give a f*ck about your day”. I still laugh at that.
You can't actually enforce that. The standard is salaried, at-will employment. The savvy, skilled remote worker is going to be able to put 20-30 hours in - literally just take off 1-2 days a week. But get paid for the "40hrs."

Basically, the rules of the game mean a salaried, remote employee can easily work half time at full pay - gg

Honestly, I never ran into many blue badges down in logistics. Mostly all white and yellow badges, with a few exceptions... and most of the time I was in and out so fast I wouldn't have noticed any colored border on their badge. The only time I would've interacted with a blue badge is if there was a problem on-route.

TL;DR DSP drivers don't encounter many blue badges.
One of the criteria for planethood is an assumption that the body clears its own orbit. Moons don't just come hurtling out of the cosmos; they either result from a collision of some other body with the planet, as with our Moon, or they're already close to the planet's orbit at the time they are captured.
So Hater news censored this post by flagging it -- just like Facebook and Youtube censored discussion of the lab leak! Hacker News is officially part of the MSM.
Probably something genetic.

Did not realise believing in a mission is akin to joining a suicide cult.

Work doesn’t have to suck. It doesn’t have to be everyone’s calling. But it is for some of us, and sixty+ hours a week can be time well spent. My time at start-ups has been time around colleagues I love, work I enjoy and a mission I believe in. (I was also decently compensated while there and exorbitantly so on the upside.)

There are countless public servants, non-profit employees, artists and public-company workers putting in those hours and more finding reward in their work. No need to deem everyone who doesn’t fit your lifestyle an idiot.
In America, at least in same States, pedestrians only have a right of way in a sidewalk or crosswalk.

It doesn’t really matter where you’re from. If you pronounce Uranus as your-anus you are pronouncing it wrong.
It is normal, but if you think about it, it doesn't really take an hour to eat lunch - and sometimes it would be preferable to eat in 5 minutes and leave at 4:05 instead of taking an hour to sit around the office. Every reasonable employer would permit this but I have learned from reading HN comments that not every employer is reasonable.

In my state 30 minutes has been the standard for a long time. Usually in the service industry they don't even give you a lunch break.
It's really easy to be a nice guy by reacting the way you did, but if the quote above is real, it should be studied and celebrated.

Let me break it down for you - Amazon bet the farm on this strategy and it worked out amazingly. Not following this strategy is equivalent to sabotaging the most important thing the company is doing.

While I suspect this quote is tongue in cheek, it SHOULD be a fire able offense for someone to ignore company strategy because "they know better" or are too lazy or whatever.
I'm gonna level with you, I stopped reading at "superpowers" and as a result this sounds like a great idea.

Thanks, I was not aware of this option, I love the idea of self hosted data that I can back up myself and is not dependant on a 3rd party online service or app that could go out of business. Much appreciated.
FamilySearch also provides hints ("research helps") with the same up and downsides. Perhaps this is a recent feature, I've only used the site since early this year.

I feel like there's an opportunity to do automated data quality assessment, and to provide some indication of that in the UI/with the data.

Overall though I'm fairly impressed with the fluidity of the UI and speed of the site, would be curious to know about their backend.
In-person is predictable, but remote holds the most promise.

Our remote tools right now are evolved relics of IRC.

But eventually VR will provide an experience that surpasses in-person meetings.
It is people risking money in order to earn huge profits that makes the system work. The government spends enormous amounts of money on basic research, much of it ineffectively IMO. Bringing cutting edge therapies to the market was, is, and always will be through the entrepreneurial system. Believing bureaucrats can accomplish the same thing is naïveté.
