> "But then with native you have to pay the cross platform price. Which is higher do you think? With Electron you get cross platform more or less for free"

Don't pay the cross platform price. Stop developing inferior software for your core users so that other people on other platforms can also have inferior software. It's not a good tradeoff, it's a bean-counter's tradeoff.

It's like going to a steak restaurant and finding they only sell lettuce so vegans can eat there, or going to a bar and finding they no longer sell alcohol because they're trying to appeal to tetotallers who don't like bars. It's like Ferrari putting a Honda Civic engine in to try and appeal to both sets of customers and the Honda customers don't want the six figure price tag and the Ferrari customers don't want a low power reliable 4-cylinder engine. It's the "one size fits nobody very well" of software, it's the abandonment of your core competency to appeal to people who hate you.

re. "zero control".. you can set a minimum version that you require for your application. If Microsoft creates a bug then yes, you might have an issue. But that counts for the whole stack anyways.
And there you go with the exact flood I predicted.

Here is my reply. Simple.

What leads us to believe that there is not already fault detection in execution units? We have really no idea what's going on at the gate level in CPUs.
We don't need oppressive regulations; we simply need courts to adopt a sane definition of "agree".

If you're foisting an adhesion contract on more than 1,000 people, they are not deemed to have "agreed" unless a majority of a random sampling (say, ten) of them actually read and understood the entire document. Otherwise it's void. "Read and understood" is decided by a jury as part of any litigation involving the contract. "Random sampling" is made by court evidentiary procedures.

If the contract is negotiated or it was presented to less than 1,000 people the rules stay the way they currently are, since those are the kinds of contracts that English common law was developed for.
The "Teams" part has never made sense. A few exist where I work and I don't think they have ever been used.
Text based communication is the cause. Not social media. Anytime I go to a bar, people are paying attention their friends if something is going on, watching a band, or on their phone. Stranger interaction declines heavily the more people that are there.

I've noticed this since the advent of texting. Not since the advent of social media. It's absurd to me honestly that someone would prioritize someone on their phone over the person who took the time and effort to physically be present and engage with them that day.

>I really miss sitting around the backyard with friends talking

I do as well. But it makes me wonder now, if people always have been flakey and unwilling to hang out with new people. I swear when I was a kid, asking someone to hang out or do something was easy, even if you met them one time. It's almost as if unlimited media and instant communication halts people from pursuing anything with other people unless they have something they dont.
My 2 cents:

> it is impossible for companies to not eventually become "evil" once that's their only open easy revenue stream.

Google doesn’t lack revenue streams, it just wants to maximise all of them ans make new ones. It’s the constant desire for growth and the mantra that ‘standing still is going baxkwards’ that I find repulsive.
I don’t need to aggressively rely on tools, they are merely in the background. Perhaps what the earlier post about experience was thinking.

Also, what makes you think I’m not aware of datatypes? Currently working eight hours a day on Django models.
Talking to Apple won't change the circumstance that I am alluding to, which is that most people willingly opt for closed, centrally censored platforms.

You can't solve this problem at the application layer.
I tried moving my Apple TV to another room and relying upon "Chromecast with Google TV" on the main set. Not only is the device laggy, but everything just looks worse. It claims to support HDR, 4:2:2, etc, but the end result is that I immediately found the experience far inferior.

Add that the AppleTV has long had sound synchronization, now it has automatic color correction as well.

It's a very nice device. The remote was absolutely trash before -- good god I hate that remote -- but the new one looks significantly improved. And you can connect a controller to it and play a pretty wide variety of fairly decent games if you want, which is an experience that I imagine will improve over time.
Years ago, my employer was light on funds so we cobbled together plugs to use as a loopback when testing and identifying network jacks. It worked great. Insert the plugs in cubilces then test the open ports in the wiring closet. Worked great many times until one day we plugged it in and went to lunch. When we came back, we were told the network had slowed to a crawl and captures showed floods. This was during the days of primitive DoS via broadcast floods. Well, this flood was self induced. The loopback plug was inserted into a jack that had a connection back to the network hub. It dutifully retransmitted everything it saw back onto the network. Whoops.

>I think the global reduction in in person communication is a grave risk to humanity.

You know, that could be.

I'll present a meta-hypothesis. Diversity is generally dangerous and global communications/global movement drives everyone closer to hazardous behavior. Without the filtering of slow tempos, things get sporty.
Even in the abstract it says that hypothesis based on risk factors (which are accounted for in distribution) are the underlying cause of this distinction.

As well, this is analysis after the fact, and not at the time of the decision making - totally different.

So parent is emphatically wrong.
I don't think this is the same as "make illegal states unrepresentable"; it's a corollary (or the converse maybe):

The Economics of Startups in Asia
Wild guess: it's because he's 65. Many of these severe genetic diseases kill their victims at relatively young ages.

Ethical researchers are thus far being super-cautious about modifying the genome of someone who's likely to have children. While the article doesn't say, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he has explicitly agreed not to have any (more?) children.
That's why it's useful to distinguish between misinformation (false statements made by people who sincerely believe them) and disinformation (false statements by people who know them to be false). Philosopher Harry Frankfurter also argues persuasively for a category of bullshit statements, which are made by people who don't care about their truth or falsehood.
Thanks. This is really annoying. Now I understand why people just want to scrape.
I don't know what you are trying to say.
As a PM, I thought this was about documenting the details of features and their functionality. I recently joined a startup with no documentation at all, and I spent a great deal of time documenting how everything worked. Even then, I kept being surprised by new functionality.
Another fantastic (and free!) Information Theory resource is David MacKay’s book, which also addresses aspects of Bayesian Statistics and Machine Learning: http://www.inference.org.uk/mackay/itila/

It’s among my favourite textbooks: you can feel his enthusiasm and personality through the pages. The world is a poorer place without him around.
Well said.

This is quite similar to a concept in psychology called Theory of Mind (ToM):

> Theory of mind as a personal capability is the understanding that others have beliefs, desires, intentions, and perspectives that are different from one's own.

I have a theory: It is relatively more difficult for people who have faced adversity (whether it be from systemic bias and/or personal situations) to make unemotional assessments when conditions relate to those adverse situations.
UpWork has 20,000+ hourly project listings that are US only and listed as less than 30 hours a week.
> Once those avenues are thoroughly maxed out, any company that is basically only measured by growth […] will have to slide more and more into things that only boost revenue to the detriment of users.

In this case, the law or regulation is supposed to step in. The problem is that the law pretty much stopped advancing when it comes to the digital world, at least when it benefits the consumer.
I like pen and paper for organizing thoughts but find that the expensive notebooks and fancy fountain pens and elaborate formatting "systems" just interfere with the core value of pen and paper notes: there are no rules.

I have a stack of discarded printer paper on my desk. Rough drafts I've printed to proofread, that sort of thing. I make notes and doodles on the back side of these pages, using whatever pen or pencil is handy. If I decide they are worth keeping, I can use a three-hole punch and put them in a binder. Mostly they end up getting shredded and recycled.

There are cases where using a text editor makes more sense. Working through the installation of a piece of software, for example. Much easier to copy/paste from the terminal (or just use 'script' to record it and edit later) than to transcribe shell commands onto paper.

Nope, I admit I didn't. But I got told by several of my acquaintances, then watched a few videos and I have to admit I wasn't won over -- quite the opposite in fact.

But I get your point, easter eggs are being put in games all the time, that's true.

> I was just giving you advice as if you were a younger me

Sounded like that to me as well but still, no hard feelings. :) I just don't take kindly to anything said that sounds condescending.

---

As for our discussion, I am sharing an empirical historical observation. I am not an avid gamer in general -- even though I was there where Diablo 2 and StarCraft 1 came out and I played them in the computer clubs I was frequenting... very long time ago, at least two decades now. I also played Quake 2 and 3 a lot to the point of almost being a pro and winning a few tournaments.

But again, I never was a hardcore gamer in the meaning of playing 100+ games over a course of a year or two, for example.

I did give a good amount of games a fair try however and Kojima's games always struck me as made by a person who just wanted to surprise the consumers of his media -- and coherent story and engaging universe be damned in the process.

Maybe I am too big of a fan of logical and coherent story universes -- could be the case.

But "Death Stranding" for me was a final nail in the coffin. I watched a playthrough and while it was moderately pleasant to consume it passively, the premise is absurd -- dead people turning into nuclear bombs, guys living like spiders, couriers addicted to the rush of delivering packages, and let's not even mention the baby in the bottle or the Lovecraftian monsters the protagonist encounters here and there. Oh, and the protagonist was immortal if I remember correctly? And yeah, a government conspiracy, nevermind that most of humanity is gone and there's no need for it -- although that part I can somewhat understand and maybe justify, since at my age I lost all faith in people and I know that power corrupts and that some people would literally destroy the world just so they can have the last word.

Most of what was in the game felt very... out of place. It's like Kojima threw a dice on each story / premise element.

I enjoy and appreciate artists that try to be unconventional. But my opinion -- and I of course I am not going to claim that my opinion is a fact -- is that his shtick is shock value and randomness. I get it how that can be appealing for people who consume mostly the same stuff all the time but I'd personally grow tired of it at the middle of his second game.
True. And reddit is now a much worse place than most people remember. I remember r/atheism being in the defaults and not a FP full of pictures and brainless memes :(

Yes, yesterday, actually. I love the blog, though I do not always agree with everything. For example, this particular text could have remarked that Christianity turned out to be notably less assimilable and co-optable than many other identities and actually managed to subvert the empire instead of being absorbed to the mega-mix.

We'll end up with licensing of journalists, just like every fascist state. People without a license will not be limited in what they can say, but they will be limited in what they can record or distribute, especially if it crosses state lines or borders. It'll be like what authoritarians say about driving: speaking may be a right, but being heard is a privilege. Free speech will be defined down to making noise with your mouth when outside of the company of anyone who might be offended or exposed to disloyalty.

We'll be prosecuted for sending communications across state lines to mislead a child under Texas's Anti-Critical Race Theory statute.

We're nearly there already, happy to ban clearly-marked Iranian, Russian, and Chinese state media. Those actions have already been used by private media to ban US journalists by associations as weak as sharing the same opinions as enemy media outlets.

>Nah. If you've actually have used the (non-binary) Usenet, you have certainly come across plonks [1] and killfiles.

As I said in my initial comment, I am well aware of killfiling (And why are you distinguishing between "plonks" and killfiles? At most, a plonk is a public announcement of putting someone in one's killfile.)—i.e., client-side anti-spam/anti-bad behavior tools—and server-side tools for similar purpose.

>What killed Usenet is that the shiny new WWW was more attractive for new users (and easier to use than a newsreader).

I don't disagree that WWW is more attractive and easier to use than Usenet; the resulting flood of individual forums of course seriously affected Usenet traffic. (In turn Twitter, Facebook, and especially Reddit have mostly killed off the individual forums.)

I nonetheless believe that misbehavior—quite possibly because of mental illness—and not spam is the major problem for Usenet today. Spam is, while still a problem, something both familiar and impersonal. But when entire newsgroups are taken up by mentally deranged individuals fighting their imagined grievances against others, participating in on-topic discussion is that much more difficult, and because said individuals often change their From: lines on the fly killfiling them is all the more difficult as well.

Signal requires a phone number for contact discovery, which many people have given out about because it's tied to your meatspace identity, so it's harder to be anonymous with Signal.

Reflections on Performance (2020)
I find myself dubious of the claim that after an hour of isolated number crunching, my GPU has done anything aside from generate heat (that wikipedia page doesn't appear to mention anything about computing information). If only 95% of it became waste heat, where is the 5%? Given that computing information with a computer is just switching transistors on and off in a clever way, it makes no sense that if we are unclever, then suddenly all of the heat becomes "waste".
Agreed with the end of your post. However, the top post approaches religious dogma. I argue against that even if one has some good points.
> According to who?

Wikipedia, every textbook you can find, the top dozen search results for "dynamic dispatch", me who has a PhD in computer science plus all the other CS PhD people I know, everyone in my office who knows the term (who are industry people, not academia people), every blog post I have ever read that uses the term, and all the other HN commenters except you. I'm really not exaggerating; a lot of CS terms have disputed meanings but not this one.

EDIT: Sorry all for engaging the troll. I thought there might have been some legitimate confusion. My bad.
They are competing with Signal (and also every other insecure messenger like WhatsApp and Telegram), and Signal already exists.

Cross-platform support is table stakes for a messenger. This will likely go the way of Ricochet.

It sounds like the real advice here is “have a strong coding style guide that is rigorously enforced so nobody ever has to go make style fixes to existing code”.
Bernoulli's principle, the actual thing, has very strict criteria* to be applicable. People usually neglect this entirely in casually throwing the term around.

- points 1 and 2 lie on a streamline,

- the fluid has constant density (note effects of height difference > gravitational potential energy between point 1 and 2),

- the flow is steady, and

- there is no friction.
I agree that using the stack instead of heap makes sense for cache reasons.

But in the contemporary world, the trend is increasingly to transform functions to "async" forms where much of the functions' local state including return address is stored in heap-allocated space instead.
> it seems impossible to keep track of everything

It is. Someone who knows more about thermodynamics, information theory, or neurology than I could probably prove this rigorously.
Signal is encrypted and likes to show off how little they store, but it is not decentralized. Not being decentralized has many advantages, but a paranoid enough approach does see it as a point of failure for security (I use and love Signal, fyi)
