Not a bad thought. But this looks more like a project that has been mismanaged like DN4. They have raised well past 370 million at this point.

They are basically making Wing Commander Privateer 4 at this point. Game wise they would have been better off shipping something years ago that worked and then iterating on it. However, it seems money wise the route they are going is their business decision and that is doing very well. There are a lot of tall 'promises' made that are not going to live up to the hype.

I personally gave up pre-buying any games ages ago. I have plenty of existing games that work. In some cases I have not played some for 20+ years and I am going back and playing them again and it is a blast as I do not remember much of it other than a vague 'I think I liked this one'.

What game I do see looks very nice. But there is not a lot of meat on those bones. In its current state looks like a very solid tech demo. When they finally ship I look forward to seeing what they got. But at this point I do not expect much.
So let's say you're right and Zionists are all colonizers (of which nation?), does it justify deporting Jews who as you say lived in these parts of the Mideast for thousands of years?
You only need one false positive test result that ends up with a colonoscopy to understand how costly and uncomfortable these errors can be.

(I'm using an uncomfortable and illustrative example, but a colonoscopy is honestly pretty safe and boring as invasive clinical diagnostic procedures go)
> There are a myriad of operating systems it supports, such as Windows 10, MAC OS, Android, Linux.

For a site all about reading, mistaking myriad as a synonym for 'number' rather than 'many' is disappointing. Counting (GNU)/Linux twice doesn't help.

25" diagonal with 3200×1800 would be perfect for most of my passive reading activities, and the frame rate would have to be dismal for me to be disappointed. The price quoted ($1500 -- I assume USD) is stupidly steep though. As a commenter on the announcement observed, 8999 yen ~= AUD $110 ... which is stupidly cheap, if that's real.

EDIT - thank you to the three people, each 1m apart, that corrected my mistake (still present above) about pricing.

These energy numbers seem to include fossil fuel use for energy used in things like heating and transportation. In the context of the article (battery storage), I think Finland is referred to being a hub of green _electricity_. Finlands electricity came from 18.64% fossil fuels in 2019, as per the same page. And Germany's electricity came from 47.43% fossil fuels.
Oh... EU... your 'social safety net' is ... stronger than ours in the US. I am nervous/scared about the future, and I have about 3-4 years of expenses in savings (not counting investments and retirement accounts). But I'm still somewhat 'nervous/scared'.

That's not entirely just a joke. People have changed industries and gotten into stuff through even weirder combinations of interests.
Must be nice to be financially comfortable enough to give that up.

I’m glad that they’re addressing the issue, but how many people are stuck with the mortgage and the student debt and the family that needs almost every penny of their income to make ends meet for every person that has the resources to do drop out of the tech industry in less than half a year?
Millions of people figured out they work to live, not live to work.

That's baffling, haven't people got friends?
No. I do remember people being like, 'holy shit, houses are getting so expensive' in the years leading up to the bubble popping. And knowing a few people stuck in their houses after real estate agents convinced them to buy at way more than market value.

What stimulus are you talking about? Mortgage rates were laughably high by today's standards. Maybe the $600 bush tax cut? I remember some first time home-buyers programs, but those were largely in response to 2008.
Yeah, that's been me all my life... That's why I went full in for programming. I wanted to make sure my biggest interest was also making money (if need be). I had to let that go and life is much easier. Wish I had done that earlier on. But yeah, you need to have some freedom to do that...
The issue is that creating objective measure of contribution value is just unfeasible if at all possible. Not to mention amount of work required which is exactly the issue.

But mostly, maintainers want to just focus on their work and not be bothered by corporations and their developers trying to game the system just to prop up their position.
Why can't they be lucrative? Fire up SEMRush or something similar, find a niche around NBA or Star Wars that's partially attainable, spend some time building a website in that niche that covers your interests. Monetise the traffic.

That said, it's kind of nice to have interests that don't become 'work'.

Note to people outside of the US who are worried about this:

The rest of the world uses 3G/4G modems in their smart meters, they are usually also connected to a different APN than generic mobile data. Sometimes multiple meters are connected to a central hub with a physical wire (in apartment buildings for example). The hub is then the only gateway to the internet.

The hack in question is only viable because of the weird way US smart meter collection is done.

US Smart Meters use RF to shout out their values everywhere like an RF beacon. A power company vehicle drives around the neighbourhood, collecting the values, storing them and moves on.

Source: I did smart metering software for L+G.
And, indeed, the Cambridge dictionary appears to be bizarrely focused on the use of 'defund' in the context of us military/police defunding.

They've obviously written the definition in light of US political events. Pretty weird. It doesn't make sense to define words in context of current political events, they are supposed to have more staying power than that.

The knee-jerk reaction that writing good legislation is just too hard seems to always come up. But it's harmful. We don't need to have model language ready to ship just to be allowed to discuss whether an individual or collective solution is appropriate for the problem, and "you haven't perfected the details" is an unhelpful conversation stopper. It represents the worst kind of cynical resignation. In the long run, that's just as fatal to democracy as the lobbyists you're worried about, because it shows you've already given up.
The sense I got from the post was: "It's fine for noobs to cut their teeth on small issues, but as one of the largest tech companies, I'd expect more from your commits. It's obvious you're not even trying".
There are laws that regulate data collection, it's just that companies who break them have every expectation that they'll never get caught at it.

For example, here's an HHS page that exists to brag about the effectiveness of HIPAA enforcement[1], and even by their statistics, about 0.3% of complaints result in reviews. Now imagine what percentage of violations never result in complaints.

GDPR is arguably more successful, insofar as they levied around $150M in fines last year, but most of that was from a couple big cases (Google chief among them) involving companies who are so big that even getting a $50M fine isn't going to change their underlying practices. It's the cost of doing business if hoarding private data is your business model.

Pretty much every website I've ever looked at that had a GDPR compliance notice was implementing it in violation of the actual regulation: they set cookies first and then notify you about them. That's not how it works, dude. If you consider that GDPR applies to any business that transacts with EU citizens, the number of non-compliant websites is so huge that $150M is nothing. The only effect of GDPR in practice has been to fill the world with meaningless banners, not to protect anybody's data.

And in a nutshell, that's how data collection and privacy regulation has worked out in the real world: a lot of meaningless compliance theater, while business goes on as usual.

I really enjoy working with Phoenix and Elixir in general, but LiveView never clicked for me. I decided to give it a try on a relatively small project, and while it blew me away that it was easy and fast to build things, I find that the code I ended up writing is so messy and tangled that I don't really have the motivation to touch it anymore.

This isn't necessarily an issue with LiveView in particular, but it's the only experience I've had with it.
I think a suspicion is that UBI could help transition the market from being intimately dependent upon positive growth to stasis. Though I also have to question whether that's needed when there's so much inequality. Definitely, equality would bring more energy and resource use...then there's the developing parts of the world.
As a remote only 10xer, it take me months to find a new position. Last two search took over six months. I cannot afford to be principled and walk out every time my employer wants to ship buggy code. And we ship bugs pretty much on a weekly basis, because there is no profit in doing things correctly.
That's honestly news to me.
It is supported doesn't mean that you get what you are expecting, if anything is black listed you will get a "supported" version with software rendering instead.

Naturally random joe user has no idea what is going on, and will dimiss your game as crap because it is running at e.g. 3 FPS.

Then even if everything is supported in hardware, as OpenGL ES 3.0 subset (defined in 2011), no matter how good the GPU is, there is only so much you can do.
Sounds like they have a different problem. They don't want to program but has to program to make money. The above posters likes to program and don't want to do other stuff.
I once was contacted by a recruiter from the company owning most of the big newspapers in my country. They were putting together a team to be the first in the region to make news tailored for the reader. I turned them down, and actually told them it was on ethical grounds. With how bubbly and divided the news landscape has become the later years I feel that was a good call.
CNNs ratings have dropped precipitously after Trump left office, after rising quite a bit during his time in office. Several accusations against their hosts, such as Maddow, have been met with responses of 'this was exaggeration' in courts of law (an argument judges have accepted).

With that in mind, and keeping in mind CNN is a pretty mainstream news source, it's pretty obvious that a large segment of CNNs viewers did care about such scandals during the previous administration, which means quite a bit of non-tweeters did.
If it's detecting 50 types of cancer and the patient doesn't have symptoms, do they just do a full body MRI to find the source? If so, why not just do full body scans which can find other issues, like aneurysms or the other almost 50% of positives that it missed?

I get that cost is a big issue, but it seems like the test is missing a lot and you might get more bang for the buck with a periodic MRI from the perspective of the number of potential issues it can find. Either way can result in false results.
Cubes done right are fine. I had "office cubes" with 6ft tall walls and ~40sq ft of space, and they were awesome. Plenty of space to stretch out, room for a bookshelf and a chair for visitors, a computer desk and a writing desk.

Noise could be a little much, but people were generally polite and quiet.

My next job was literally a desk in the middle of the floor. All the prime employees had desks that went along the edge of the wall, forming a horseshoe and, when they ran out of room, they started putting desks in the center. So i was basically working on a stage in front of 40 people. It was awful, but I never slacked off! (well, i went for walks a lot)
I'm confused by "the older the kid the more problematic it all becomes"... Older kids eventually turn into adults. Do you mean that tech in general is bad for people?
What good would that be? They are served with one warrant for something and the canary is gone. you know something happened, but not what. Maybe it is a one time thing, maybe they get them all the time. Maybe it is even a real crime you would approve of a warrant for, maybe it is political. Maybe it is specifically targeted, maybe it is give us everything.

For that matter, what is to stop courts from ordering as part of the warrant that the canary stays up?
They should offer people a chance to pay to block delivery of emails from certain parties; express your hate for a small fee!

The potential gains are unlimited, even the most popular and well supported email campaign has only one party paying to send stuff out; but there'd be thousands potentially willing to disagree.
My company recently tried to find an alternative to Google Workspace.

We looked at Hey and really liked it. However, they lacked a calendar and we felt training some of our less technical users would be too much effort.

We tried ProtonMail (Business account) but ran into these issues:
- no shared Calendar
- no way to enforce MFA
- no way to enforce a password policy
- no way to forward emails (except manually) so we can use Zapier
- no way to help employees with password resets

In the end we just stayed with Google as we couldn’t find a competitor with matching services.
Why does it need to support operating systems at all? If it's got an HDMI connector, I'd like it to support HDMI specification signals no matter how I generate them (blu-ray player, set top box, camera etc.)

Indeed, the warning signs were there for me. Sometimes you need to ignore the sunk cost and move on. Sometimes financial requirements get in the way, but generally it can end ugly when you cannot see eye to eye.
Yes, so either accept the status quo or create positive change.

Given that it’s annoying enough that we have articles and comments on it, perhaps investing maintainers time into developing metrics that work for the maintainers isn’t a terrible idea.
Why would excluding private shares be too broad? What portion of non-super-rich IRA's do you think have private shares in them? Probably approaching zero, right? Do people really need private shares to be able to set up retirement accounts? People can buy private shares when they have access to do so, they just can't use their IRA for it.

Agreed, I don't think the snark is needed. Particularly on HN. Everyone is different, everyone expresses themselves in different ways. I just figured he was sick of the tech 'industry'. On the occasions I've burned out I've still tinkered with stuff, I just couldn't face the work I was meant to be doing anymore.
I went through something similar a few years ago as well. I was able to get out of bed, but I could not focus on a single task for more than a few minutes. I'd frequently get neck pain and migraines late in the week as well. Management was unsympathetic, all they saw was productivity go down. Ultimately I quit and a few months later found myself in a similar job, but actually enjoying what I was doing under a different team/company. Burnout sucks.
It doesn't make me mad in the slightest, I just think the guy sounds like an idiot and I find it funny to point this out.

Feel free to do the same to me if you wish.

Edit: On a more serious point i think its actually potentially damaging. Burnout should be recognised as a real problem in industries such as tech. And I don't believe the way to cure burnout is to immediately start jumping into things like:

"About 2 weeks ago I decided to make this a business. I formed an LLC, got an EIN, got Insurance, and built a website.

I started running google ads and I’ve had some good success in the short two weeks I’ve been doing this on weekends."

"So far I have sunk every penny I’ve made back into the business. I have bought a bunch of equipment."

"I’ll be taking on some short term gigs. If you want a decently competent React/C# developer to go through your backlog and fix some old bugs that no one else wants to tackle, well that’s my favorite type of work.

You can hire me for an hour, two hours, 60 hours, etc."

Of course this is just my opinion but i believe he should take some time to really have downtime and reflect, rather than immediately sinking all of his time / energy into a new venture... which once the honeymoon phase ends, hello burnout

For me it was the constant feeling that tasks and responsibilities and difficult decisions are piling up faster than I could process them.

Not just "I have too much work to do", but "I have too much work to do and every day it gets worse, and in the morning meeting my team will tell me they all have too much work to do too, and lots of the problems are due to bad tech decisions I took in a hurry a while ago due to inexperience and lack of time, and... and...".

Fortunately I had an understanding manager who spotted me shaking in the lift into the office one afternoon and helped sort things out.
Seems counter-productive. "Hey you're clearly miserable and not doing your job properly, so we're gonna make sure that you spend more time on the job being miserable while doing it improperly".
It can work, but not in a procedurally generated / sandbox game; you need to add a campaign, a story, custom designed environments, etc.

One example where things do / can work is Space Engineers, where players can build and program maps in the sandbox for others to play.
‘go get’ is older than ‘pip’. The way Go packages are versioned and referenced has evolved massively since then. I get the need for backwards compatibility, I really do, but if you can’t modernise 11 year old tech then I think you’re on the road to much bigger problems.

Edit: correction, Pip is older than Go. But for those downvoting me, the dates were just an illustration and don’t really matter to the point I’m making. That point being: after 11 years it should be safe to update a legacy interface.

It's more complicated than that. You can land in a dystopia by ignoring property rights and you can land in one by respecting them too much.

That's especially true with property rights, because people with a lot of property [1] often selfishly see them as the most scared thing ever.

It's true that it creates an overhead for maintainers. But, on the other hand, maybe Linux process needs to be improved to relief the maintainers from having to review every single patch.

Linux as a project is big enough, and if maintainers are the bottleneck, maybe it's time to have sub-maintainers to whom such tasks could be delegated.
