One of the ways to measure long term impact is through the use of a golden cohort that is never opted into experiments. Unsurprisingly, I could not get this work prioritized on the roadmap.

We also worked with growth consultants (read: Bay Area B2C product leads) in scoping out some of these ideas. We accrued what I call "product debt" where we launch the MVP but never followed up to polish the feature[0] as they don't improve KPIs.

I assume this is the same with Growth teams everywhere but am happy to be corrected.

Regarding long term impact, we measured this through various dimensions in marketing, recruiting, and user research. The outcomes are largely positive.

0: One feature I argued for was an opt out of the mobile app interstitial. It makes sense to show it once or twice, but users aren't going to download the app just because they saw it 50x.
For me games are often just a more interactive version of YouTube or social media. Something to mindless do to occupy time when I don’t feel like putting in any effort.

I’ve scaled back on that quite a bit and it ofc just got replaced with items I compared it to in the prior paragraph. I still play games sometimes though, mostly because it’s a good way to keep in touch with some of my siblings who scattered across the country.
The most recent 5 months ago. So v4 I guess, the biggest that still supports 32bit Linux which afaik is the 8gb version. There was only one more expensive.
You can Airplay any video content from the web, or mirror the screen.
I always think that by building products that treat the consumer like an enemy to be conquered will eventually result in someone building a better product and stealing the market. It never happens though.

I wonder if some of the tech like Cloudflare Workers will eventually allow someone to build competing products that crush the existing platforms. IMO it’s dangerous (business wise) to get addicted to revenue that comes from treating your users very badly. I think we’ll eventually see companies like Facebook and Reddit get conquered. At least I hope so.
Sorry I don't know what you specifically mean by "porn streaming" are you talking about a dedicated app for a specific streaming service?

If so, I highly doubt Apple would allow those on their platform but I've never actually checked. There are semi-sketchy IPTV clients that you can use to watch what seems to be unofficial streaming services, so perhaps those can also be used to watch what you want?

As for VLC, it's open source I encourage you to do your own research as I can't answer your codecs question with confidence.
You can skip levels and come back to them later if you need!
I'm not entirely sure that i can agree with that statement in its entirety, at least in the context of this particular type of toxic gatekeeping.

If there are people who are inadequate at writing code and architecting software, then they should:

- not manage to pass their university classes and not get a degree or a programming qualification
- not manage to pass their internship by generating some value and proving that they're capable of learning and self-improvement
- not manage to get the necessary certificates for a particular technology, as a vague proof of basic competency
- not manage to solve the take home tasks that they're given by a company that's about to hire them or pass technical interviews
- not manage to pass onboarding for some months and therefore should be fired
- not manage to deal with their duties as a developer and therefore should be fired

Of course, depending on different cultures, these things could change (e.g. bootcamp instead of university education, personal projects instead of certificates), but none of those involve calling someone: "...mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration," just because they used BASIC, PHP, Python, or any other easy language that let them solve easy problems without getting too deep into the internals of programming languages and how computers work.

Furthermore, the difference is in attitude - if a person doesn't pass one of the above, they can probably just upskill themselves and spend more time refining their craft, reading books, working on projects etc., whereas dismissing them entirely is likely to demotivate them and so they'll never achieve anything. It might also be selecting for the wrong types of people - those who simply brush off criticism like that and don't care, as opposed to those who are more sensitive, something that should hardly matter in regards to developing code.

There has to be a better and more constructive way of criticizing people and even dismissing them: for example, saying "Hey, your programming knowledge seems okay, but you should work on your system design skills. Try applying for a job in a year again," vs simply ghosting them.

> Software mistakes are common and expensive: there are very strong incentives to predict and prevent them by following processes and by putting someone competent in charge.

Lastly, this feels like the job of:

- the compiler, for errors and warnings
- the IDE and language server, for general suggestions
- the linter, for code style rules
- static analysis tools like SonarQube, for additional code checks
- testing frameworks (including code coverage gates), for unit, integration and end-to-end tests
- manual code reviewers, after everything above has been resolved by the code author
- QA specialists, after all of the previous checks have been successfully passed

As for having competent leaders, sernior developers, architects, security specialists etc., i wholly agree! That's not to say that the culture of software development needs to be a parody of anti-social behaviour.
It's Cwtch, pronounced more like Cutch than Cootch

Edit. Cutch was supposed to be more of a phonetic way to pronounce it as opposed to a word with a similar sound.
I get the impression they're only describing how they handle it (for the crowd here); I don't see any suggestion the OP thinks this is a reasonable expectation of ordinary consumers.
Would CRISPR be the technology people would use to modify a bat virus to make it human transmissable? This stuff should stay in its box.
You seem to be talking about civilian reports of UFOs. Those are irrelevant in this report. Sure, those happen and turn out to be planes, but civilian mistakes are not the scope of this report. It is a report about incidents logged by military and intelligence agencies. There is no need for a "normal plane" category" because they already know if something is a normal civilian or commercial plane based on easily obtainable data from flight plans airport logs etc, along with their own much better tracking capabilities and sensors. Those resources will be able to identify if something is a normal plane long before the incident needs to be analyzed by an intelligence task force.
Human clinical trials are pre-registered, in order to prevent exactly what you are describing (the 'file drawer problem').
It's basically rebranded Xamarin Forms. Outside of bundled Windows apps, Microsoft is going all into web technologies for consumer apps now. Even within bundled Windows apps usage of .net is almost nonexistent. Built in OneDrive client is written in Qt!
How to build remote teams properly
This is correct but a little ranty.

Men have consistently surpassed women in both suicide attempts and suicides (see upthread for statistics) but no one seems to care. This "why won't someone think of the women" politicking is all too common these days when in fact focusing on the highest risk group (teenage boys) would probably save more lives on an absolute scale. The same goes for COVID which has an outsized effect on men when compared to women.

We are several decades away at this rate from getting our boys better help in school, mental health support, and other things that society seems to think they don't need.
There used to be a Hall of Shame for GUIs on the web that I used to read around 2002 or thereabouts. Very similar to this, only for native programs.
Im not saying that it is, that is just the perspective that I believe this article is being written from. American conservatives are concerned about censorship, American liberals are concerned about "misinformation and disinformation". This article is firmly on the diss/misinformation side of the debate
I think you're overestimating the degree to which useless subscriptions are sustainable. I just moved and am about to purchase something identical to what you're describing[1], and it's a one-time purchase, as expected.

Wow, great timing. I was days away from buying a Shield, but I get irrationally mad when forced to see ads. I won't now, even if there's hacky workarounds.

It's pretty clear at this point you don't understand what dynamic dispatch means.

I don't think it's worthwhile for anyone else to argue with you further. C++ and Java both support dynamic dispatch although you deny it.

You've taken up almost a full page of HN arguing with everyone trying to explain it to you. People have pointed you to wikipedia showing you that you're wrong. [1]

ISOCPP of which Bjarne is a director [2] says that C++ supports dynamic dispatch. [3]

And you continue to attempt to argue that everyone on HN, Wikipedia and the creator of the C++ language are all wrong and don't know what dynamic dispatch is.

Your continued insistence is both wrong and a negative impact at this point on hn. Please stop arguing something that numerous people have taken lots of patience and charity in trying every way possible to explain to you and what is clearly factually wrong.

If you're going to reply, please explain why an organization that Bjarne Stroustrup is a director of believes that C++ supports dynamic dispatch.

git log -S'text of interest'

has always served me better than blame.
It can better jump file boundaries and find e.g. prior code that the code in question was copied from.

I've always thought though that we need better conflict resolution that is code aware. And also better changeset specification, e.g. if a commit is equivalent to a s/foo/bar/ then this information should be included in the commit, or if a function signature has changed, then record that fact, rather than the dumb line by line diffs.
This malware registers system wide proxy and redirects certain traffic on IP level. It also registers it's own CA certificate making TLS MITM possible. Finally it has auto-update functionality which could be used to push different malware to selected users.

Coming from a genetics background, I can tell you the fact that it worked once is a massive achievement in itself. This is science fiction.
I worked at a game company that was moving from google enterprise (gmail, docs, etc) to office be use our owner organization used office. Everyone fought hard to keep slack because teams is so bad. We got to keep slack but had to adopt office and it was a disaster. Outlook web and app act completely different, the mail web and app act completely different. the way to edit and share files was very confusing and always had permission issues. We were told we’d keep our email history, then the last 2 years of our history, and then finally they were unable to migrate the history and we lost years of emails. It messed the company up so much, I’m sure it’s one of the contributing factors for why the company was closed 6 months later. Like we were at the end of a 2 year development process going into soft launch, but this migration crippled production and the parent company never took responsibility.
Like "clutch" without the "L"?
your sexual preferences and personal offense are irrelevant and the rule you are debating has about as close to consensus acceptance as you will find in the queer space.

If you indeed think "dead naming" is something someone made up for an internet comment, you are missing a large portion of the picture.
No, not really. It more like Kutch.

Operation Burnt Frost: A View from Inside

I think the OP was more accurate than you (or even they) thought.

Scientists confusing absence of evidence with evidence of absence (i.e. "we don't have evidence of lab leaks, so anyone claiming it's a lab leak is definitely wrong") -> joke of a scientist

Scientists making a statement not from scientific evidence but due to political expediency (see sibling post, i.e. "conspiracy theories are making China unhappy and they might not share data with us") -> political actors
All of his numbers are way low, though. Good luck finding a running tractor for $500-$800, and used loaders are $10-$15k, not $2-$3k. $2k will get you a new set of loader tires.
Was deeply frustrated last year when it became clear in the US market at least that dumb TVs no longer exist, not unless one wants to pay the 4x premium for buying a gaming monitor and using it as a TV.

Decided to buy an Android TV, one that would not need a network connection on the Android side for HDMI input mode to work, and
just keep a computer plugged into it. Lack of sensible remote control is annoying. But forced ads are infuriating.
Wouldn't that mean you had an insecure device?
Thanks, whoever you are. It wasn't incredibly successful, it was just ok. There is too much competition and not enough customers.
Google will chock this up to "staying" competitive. The Fire TV and Samsung Smart TVs have had ads on the menu for a while now. Ads on the home screen takes it further. If this was nipped in the bud, it would not have made it this far.

People are slowly realizing these commissions don't care about consumers, just making it seem they do.
>Spanner is capable of correctly ordering all events across the entire system in relation to idealized physical time

As "idealized physical time" itself does not have consistent ordering, surely this is impossible in real life? The notion of a single universal instant is rough approximation which breaks down when separate nodes are moving relative to one another, or are at different gravitational potentials. We're putting gigahertz CPUs on spacecraft now so this isn't just a theoretical problem! How is this resolved? Perhaps an enforced maximum temporal resolution?
That's not in contradiction of what I wrote. By their very nature transparent and healthy democracies have a larger surface attacks for leaks than dictatorships.
A lot of "innovation" in consumer tech is really just turning previously-standalone devices into subscription platforms and/or billboards. I'm sure the engineers who build these are proud of their contributions to society.
It is a word from the Welsh language, so it may seem weird to someone unfamiliar with the language.
Well if I watch porn I don't download it and watch it later, but open some place app or website and browse videos on my TV to fap to comfortably from my couch.

To be fair my question is already answered, no porn support. You need a another device to stream from.
The constant bombardment of expectations that you'll spend more money is normalized, but it is not ok.
I sometimes feel like I’m the only one to not be a huge fan of The History Of Rome. It wasn’t bad, but I got frustrated with the fact that it was too much of “A biography of Roman leaders”: not enough analysis of the more fundamental shifts happening behind the scenes, not enough time spent discussing what was life was actually like for the various populations at different times. There were a few “step back” episodes, but they were few and far between

There, I’ve got it off my chest. You can start throwing stones now ;)
I never said that they cant, it's more that people are writing articles about their opinions when they are bringing nothing new to the table. Why doesn't vox write articles about a grocery store clerk or trucker's opinion on social media and society? Why does some biologist somehow know more about this stuff than other people who aren't sociologists? This is why conservatives think academics are snooty and elitist
No way! What a weird system. Is democracy vulnerable to this?
No. It's Welsh

Close. This is from the homepage:

In common use you might say "Cwtch in" to mean "snuggle in" or "cuddle in close'
What needs to happen is to bring ECC to all levels of a chips logic to solve this. ARM vs RISC-V vs x64 doesn't address the problem as nothing in them inherently solves the problem. Making adders that add with ECC will.

If all of the logic also operates on ECC with the data, chip yields will also be improved. Say an core of the chip only produces the correct result 99% of the time, currently you have to disable that core. With ECC logic, you can still use it, as it doesn't matter if it has an additional 1% chance of a bit flip, as all of your logic is now immune to single bitflips. For mission critical logic/applications, one can scale up the ECC so its immune to more bitflips before an error is introduced.
Right. China severely restricts sending money out of the country, while encouraging manufacturing and exports. If you're in China and want dollars or euros, make something in China, sell it outside China for a convertible currency, and keep the profits outside China.

Bitcoin mining fit that model. It was making something in China and selling it outside China. Not only legal, but encouraged.

That just ended.
Cloud High Cost?
Everything's a tradeoff.
So I use another device to browse and the TV only for watching. I get it, sounds annoying just to enjoy some porn

That's great, until they stop making the ad free version. It's like TVs, there are no high end ad free TVs now.
Roku started doing this (though seems less intrusive so far than this) and its why I ditched it for an AppleTV.

My big fear is that Apple will do the same in years to come but for now it is all we have.
Teams is a compliance product for some CIO to check a box and get their kickbacks and bonuses. Its features center around corporate control of conversations.

So whoever has a negative comment about usability has absolutely missed the target customer for Teams: it's not the end user and certainly not software people.
The author has written books about this area, so he's pretty confident that he can write numerical libs. That might be right, but for most people, when you come across some need, that's going to not be your speciality.

I might need a numerical lib at some point, but I also know that there are things like numerical instability, gremlins in this area that I know some of but not all of.

Something popular with lots of people working on it is likely to be far better for me than rolling my own.

Of course this does mean that for most things by far, the best way forward is to research which lib is best supported and go with that.
What, you mean like Mozilla's XP/COM?
I really like this idea. But I can imagine that is difficult to promote it to the right people on the right moment.
Were people that unaware to not expect covid restrictions to have massive corollary side effects like inflation, increase suicides, massive evictions, increases in homelessness, massive loss of small businesses, addiction increases, and countless more social problems....

This article about suicides are just one of many in a massive list of side effects from questionable government overreach into our lives.

Everyone but the rich are going to pay for this lockdown in numerous ways for the foreseeable future.
> I've heard that oftentimes it makes the performance very unpredictable, as a CPU spike arrives all of a sudden in the last moment.

In a sense, all of the computation occurs in the "last moment", since that's when we're 'forced' to make a decision (more precisely, computation occurs when (a) it's needed by the value defined as `main`; and (b) a computation is 'needed' when we've hit a branch point that depends on its result).

Even more confusing, once a computation has been 'forced', it runs backwards: it's the result which gets forced, in order to choose a branch; if the definition of that result involves branching, that will force other values so we can figure out which branch to take; if those involve branching then more values may get forced; and so on until we reach some branchless 'input'.
I was really disappointed to find the same problems with tvOS having moved from a pair of Shields.

The ads hadn’t rolled out yet on Shield when I moved over but for some reason I just assumed Apple wouldn’t be shilling ads at me constantly for services I don’t have, or trying to sell me content I already have access to.

More fool me. Fire TV is worse, but I’ve heard Roku is much the same.

The Smart TV ecosystem is rot all over.
Next generation of version control will diff the AST of the parsed code, so line endings don’t show up in the diff ;) Bonus, developers will be able to each see the code with their own code style or open a Java file in Scala ;)
Oh, the OP said “crypto speculators” which in my mind is a bit more involved than random dudes buying Doge on RH.
I think this is the way Reddit supposes their power users to have the old reddit experience. If they didn't care about power users, they'd completely decimate old.reddit.com months after deployment of the new design, just shove it all 'em mouth. They always leave ways for power users to have the most authentic reddit experience.

Recently, Reddit has changed their algorithm to filter out contents of pornographic subreddits from the front page r/all. They didn't touch the communities. But they made it much harder for average users and new users to accidentally discover porn contents on Reddit. They didn't want to do another 'tumblr'. But this, consequently, has impact on promotion and expansion of those subreddits. This is a smart move (that other platforms have the same trouble should learn). Change hurts, but it is barely felt.
Why not expect parents to do their jobs? Don’t let teens use social media. Stop dictating what adults do though.
Small correction. "Ha-lacha" would be "the phlegm". "Halacha" (without the separation of the leading "ha") is "the (proper) way (to act)".
While I agree with you to a large degree, from my limited perspective there is one problem with server side cheating detection, such detection would be inherently reactive (eg. it will take few cheating actions, before it is detected by service side anti-cheat) versus on client anti-cheat that is deliberate (eg. cheats can be detected before game is initialized, potentially)
That's fine if the text you're copying spells out the URL, but often it will be just a word(s) that are hyperlinked, so if pasted as plain text the software you paste into has no idea there was a URL linked at all.

(But I too wish plain text pasting was the default more often.)
It is pretty clear at this point that you don’t know what “meaning” is when it relates to the semantics of formal languages.

For starters you don’t even understand Rice’s theorem.

Sadly this isn’t on Wikipedia. You actually have to dive deep on the Topological, Categorical and Logical view of computation.
