>maybe its not normal to not get excited by stuff you used to like

People absolutely fall in and out of interest in different types of activities. This is especially true of people who really jump into things with both feet.
From the readme:
"Fragsurf is an actively developed next-gen surf and bunnyhop game developed with philosophy that favors modding. This repository contains the majority of Fragsurf's source code which can be used for reference, education, experimenting, and modding. Not included in this repository are assets that we do not have a license to release to the public, but will be included in game builds provided on Steam. Excluded assets are mostly 3d weapons and viewmodel animations."
I'll agree a 2 week outage is insane, but that's hardly an example of the tech being behind. Shitty process sure and lazy software development too.

How about the charge range or stability control? Any idea about the battery's expected life span? What technology do you think Audi is behind on?

My impression has been that Tesla nailed the charging network, charge range and raw straight line performance. Everything else they half-assed, i.e. the stuff I care about on a daily basis feels cheap.
“It should make us worry,” said David Enard, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona who led the study, which was published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology. “What is going on right now might be going on for generations and generations.”

Should it though? Seems like we've survived this many times as a species, and now have the technology to combat it! I'm more optimistic with this information, and hopefully we can eradicate coronavirus forever with mRNA and next-gen vaccinations.
There is no 'best' voting system, only different trade-offs.[1]

> apologies, but I don't want to work on this task because it's a dark pattern.

While I understand the intent, words matter. If those were the real words that were used, yes it will lead to souring of relationship. Unless we notice a systemic pattern, accusations should wait and that sounds like an accusation.

Perhaps the client was indeed trying to do something customer friendly and they did not know better. It would have been better if the OP had offered a solution rather than excuse of them engaging in dark patterns and refusing to work on it.

And, if the client had not taken that solution, yes, I will agree there is something nefarious. But till then, I wouldn’t have jumped to that conclusion so quickly.
the idea that the universe started from an arbitrarily small size and expanded was once considered stupidity.

the idea that Iraq might not have WMD was once considered stupidity (even by those on the left). "BUT THE UN INSPECTORS SAID SO!"

The idea that we might want to wear masks to protect ourselves in crowded public places was considered stupidity. "THE WHO SAID MASKS DONT WORK! FOUCI SAID!"

calling something stupid is not censorship, removing something you feel is stupid is. You feeling this way, is certainly stupid.
This seems to be what Apple Arcade is doing. You pay a subscription to Apple and get access to curated games with no ads or microtransactions. Apple pays the developers, although I don't know how.

AFAIK it's going pretty well. I don't actually own Apple Arcade, but the games all look really nice, and no ads or microtransactions. Maybe someone who knows more can comment.
That was going to change Android or not.
Hardware was becoming cheaper and cheaper with low powered processors being able to decently to run full fledged OSes by late 2000's. You would have got smartphones either way.

Android only unified the market( maybe sped the transition /made it bigger) it didn't really trigger the shift to smartphones.
They were less "isolated" than you imagine. They traded with each other, intermarried, fought wars. You can see that in populations having a similar life style nowadays (there's very few of them now).
A traditional 'dumb' phone seems to loosely fit this definition.
That seems like a fair mix of workplace and personal stuff.

As for a RSA token key fob or phone text for 2FA, i prefer the phone as it can also show upcoming meetings and mails.

Though it's easier to forget the phone than your keys i'd say.
I didn't even realize they had bought DPReview...
Tesla's stock performance doesn't justify the price unless they pivot hard into other markets.
>but I decided against it because I worried about harassment from sleuthing HN readers finding me on other platforms. Such are the compromises you make as a lady on the internet sometimes.

You make it easy for the internet assholes to do this to you. If your HN username is your real name that is a really big problem for your privacy. Your occupation is stated in your profile. Likewise, stating your sex might as well be your privacy's death knell.

Become more anonymous to provide less ammunition to those with nothing more to do than torment others, then continue doing the things you feel are the right things to do without excuse.

Do they at least work on files locally? Or do they ssh in to modify the PHP file?
Software development was fine without daily roll call. I honestly find it funny that grown adults have to tell their bosses what they did yesterday and what they will do today.
I'm replying to the person who used Dropbox as an example of "Some people do want others to have their data." in order to clear up their confusion.
On August 10, 1988, 11-year-old Seattle resident Dade Murphy crashed 1507 computers, causing a 7 point drop in the New York Stock Exchange. His family was fined $45,000, and he was legally forbidden from touching a computer until he turned 18 years old. They made a documentary film about it 7 years later in 1995.
Even better: The data is readily available in the world! All you need to do is a bit of research and travelling and you could come to a similar conclusion!
As far as I am aware, large meetings of different tribes did occur during the paleolithic at regular intervals, although not very frequently. In any case, such meetings don't have to be frequent for such a virus to spread once they do occur. The virus could have originated in a single tribe, killing some of the people and immunising others and then remained endemic in that tribe for years before they came into contact with others.

I recently learned about "thinking traps" (essentially spiraling out of control imagining terrible outcomes) when my pandemic stress hit an all time high.

I learned coping mechanisms and ways to short circuit them (really comes down to awareness), but realized that I get paid to engage in this destructive behavior! We have pre-mortems at work trying to imagine everything that might go wrong; a little of the macabre mixed in with the stress.

I became a professional programmer later in life, and I've been wondering whether or not it has been influencing my behavior and personality in negative ways. I don't remember this paranoid in my previous life.
Basically, politics: https://youtu.be/NUC2EQvdzmY
Is that why MS Teams is so glitchy? I really wish companies don't abandon native.
So, a likely scenario is: a new virus appeared, it swept through the population, caused serious disease, a bunch of people died, the survivors had better resistance to it, it settled as a mostly innocuous thing (such as the common cold) or disappeared completely, and the next generations remembered it as "the plague of emperor Fancy Pants" or something.
Less information can be better. Or more accurately, conditional probabilities can be better than unconditional probabilities.

For example, a large number of unnecessary antibiotic treatments, which fuel resistance, are triggered by doing diagnostic testing on patients with no symptoms.

"Diagnostic stewardship" is a concept that exists for a reason.
I always assumed it was so they could stuff some more ads at the bottom. I'm sure someone here knows the real answer, though.
That is a widely reported fact rather than a rumor.
Thanks! 8bitworkshop is a great resource.

I am currently working through this online course by Gustavo Pezzi called "6502 Assembly Language for the Atari 2600". https://courses.pikuma.com/courses/atari2600
It has been excellent. Just the pace and level of detail that I need. I am lucky to have stumbled upon it.

I am also reading "Making Games for the Atari 2600" by Steven Hugg. Previously I was simply exploring what is available on http://www.6502.org/, working through the Easy 6502 tutorial https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/, and checking out YouTube tutorials.
> I think contributing to open source is probably a greater source of satisfaction for most than programming games.

I've never had better satisfaction in games compared to open-source. The focus on iteration making the games trumps any jockeying about over features/correctness/'is this needed' in open source contributions.
You don't think it's plausible that a foreigner F and local L can be found, such that F is better versed in L's country's history than L?

I believe that if I were to read a pamphlet on US history, and then go to the USA and quiz random people on it in the street, within fifteen minutes I would find someone born there who knows jack shit.
"I mean, that was a typical argument in favour of slavery. "

This isn't even anywhere near true.

First - Canadian colonialists did not, and do not, benefit from the labour inputs of aboriginal citizens. They were never some kind of advantage to Canadian development.

Second - that Canadians of Aboriginal descent live at considerably higher standards that the neolithic people they were, and would be otherwise - is unambiguously factual.

"aboriginals who were living within their own land of origin and had this life thrust on them unrequested"

They are living in homes, have cars and TV 'unrequested'?

We are 'forcing' them to do this? They couldn't just go ahead and live in huts and tents if they so chose?

How 'paternalistic' is it to contemplate that somehow Aboriginals really want to live as their ancients did, in skin tents and huts, with no hot water, no medicine, education or any of the advantages of material advancement?

In reality - they want all the same thing we do: homes, heating, hot water, grocery stores, cars, food, entertainment. They're just not organized enough to 'trade' services or labour to the point where we care to give them anything for it.

They want the material benefits of Colonialism for the same reasons we do.

So we end up mostly giving it to them.
It is really cool to see our product mentioned on HN (I am a co-founder of Aha!).

With regards to the OPs question, tracking work all the way from the idea request from a customer through to the work that a developer does to implement that idea is exactly what Aha! does best. And this is what we have been working on most recently with functionality specifically for developers: https://www.aha.io/develop.
This is the worst case scenario.

Worst case scenario isn't as far away as you might think. Consider that the FCC is pretty good at winning the cat-and-mouse game against pirate radio broadcasters. And those are people who can change their locations at will.

How long do you think it would take to go from the power company noticing an anomaly to someone walking down the street with equipment to detect the source? A week, maybe? There's money at stake, and these aren't stupid people.
Depending on the species it may make sense to raise the humidity in the air (that's especially valid for indoor plants or tropical plants in greenhouses, hence misting). But watering the leaves is not needed and is pretty much useless to the plant. In nature of course plants get wet under the rain but, as mentioned, this helps diseases (moulds, mildew, virii, etc) take hold so in general it's best avoided if at all possible.
> Let’s not mingle data intended for advertisement with data intended for social science research.

Well those are two different USAGES of the same type of data (tracking). That one is good and the other bad is a different discussion.

It still boggles my mind to this day that in the early 2010's, I was debating getting a 8gb or 16gb iPod Touch. Now I can't even imagine anything less than 128gb if I'm including videos and pictures on my phone. That's even with only essential or primarily used apps. If I had everything I'd want on it, 128gb still feels like not enough. Not to mention Android taking up an absurd amount of space.
Pay Wall: https://archive.is/CAas5
I'm really surprised sometimes at the size of what should seemingly be tiny apps. An app with a single screen that does literally one thing can clock in at anywhere from 20-70MB it's ridiculous. Yet at the same time there's apps that manage to do a lot, but don't gobble up the space.

Looking at something like the Infinity reddit client vs the official one. Infinity clocks in around 38MB the official client is around 100MB. They provide essentially the same functionality, the layout and UI is even very similar, yet one manages to be almost 2/3rds smaller in size.
I prefer just the opposite, even if the jargon is harder to consume at a glance, the extra layer of editorializing can obfuscate central facts or salience peripheral details based on whatever their target demographic wants to hear (nothing exclusive to NYT).
I don't think you would be able to find a single time period in the history of this country where yellow political journalism was not wildly popular.
Your "move fast, break things" speed must be inversely proportional to the penetration of the language: penetration into books, academia, courses, hardware, firmware, software, software that depends on other software, and so on.

Soon I will be able to let go to Python 2.7, but not just yet. My industry is the precise opposite of "move fast, break things" because here the "things" happens to be what are called humans and their "break" scenario involves shrieking as their lungs are burned to leather, and no amount of Jolt soda poured into the floating holographic head of Mark Zuckerberg will suffice.

If you have a piddly language you and five people circulate on Usenet, go for it. Break it twice a day. But once your language gets serious, be ready for inertia. It's a property of mass.
From that can I get that an age recovery utility would need to detect missing data and would then need to insert dummy blocks (or the equivalent)? I guess there would have to be an minor element of brute force involved as there would be no easy way to distinguish bad blocks from the blocks after the missing chunk.
Keep in mind that crime statistics have been skewed lately. After George Floyd hit the news, some neighborhoods banded together (Powderhorn at least I think) and vowed to not call the police for anything less than an emergency, opting instead for active neighnorhood watches.

I suspect the momentum on that died out after awhile, but haven't really kept abreast of it.

What I do know is that a large employer is moving out of NE minneapolis to the burbs (my friend works there) because, after having to install bullet proof windows in their office, the CEO said enough was enough. (Incidentally, this place is only a few blocks from where the first parts of the dismembered guy were found).
This (video, specifically) is more likely a codec issue, and perhaps lack of support (or nonexistence of) for hardware accel paths in it on your hardware.
Does your camera app really use over 1 GB of storage? Mine uses about 12 MB, still pretty obnoxious but nowhere near what you're describing.
The input lag in Microsoft Teams is atrocious. If they eventually fix this, I'd consider it a decent communication tool, regardless of some inconsistencies in the UX. But this performance issue is very distracting and harms productivity.
Geez. Taking the parent post in horrible faith, really unfortunate to see on this platform. All the parent did was point out a few comments from the piece which certainly add a tinge of bias - stating with certainty that Covid was not lab-made for one.

> I’m being charitable and leaving room for the possibility that they provide a tighter set of policies for some studies or revise their general policy to make commercial use be a study-by-study determination.

I just reviewed these pages:

[1]: Mozilla Rally Privacy Policy https://rally.mozilla.org/privacy-policy/index.html

[2]: Political and COVID-19 News https://rally.mozilla.org/current-studies/political-and-covi...

Read together, the problematic parts of the general privacy policy are not addressed nor remedied by the specific study's details, because a specific study addresses how that study uses the data.

Perhaps a future study would be different? I doubt it. My take is that the concerning parts of general privacy policy's language will stand (quoted a few messages above). Here's why I say this... Based on my experience with organizations and lawyers, Mozilla is unlikely to want to modify its general privacy policy based on particular discussions with each organization involved in a study; it would be too time-consuming and expensive, and it would create a path-dependence such that every previous study details would need to be reevaluated in the light of a modification to the general policy. Instead, Mozilla probably crafted their privacy policy in a general way, hoping that it will be acceptable to participants and partners. I expect they will modify it as little as possible.
You’re probably in a good position to figure out a business idea.

That OPM hack was pretty brutal. It set back clearance investigations for years. They still take twice as long as they used to. All of the contracted agencies got fired and everything started over. Effectively every detail of my past, personal life, medical status, and everyone else with a clearance has been in the hands of China for 6 years. The SF-86 is extremely thorough. It centralizes much more of your personal data than any other source. A lot of this is stuff you would not normally disclose anywhere.

Other than that, I've give a vote to the original hack, the Bletchley Park cracking of Enigma. Most of the other hacks have just hurt people and exploited systems with poor security or no security at all. These people helped bring down Naziism and broke what was the best military grade encryption in existence at the time.
They went from making ball point pens in the 1980s to flying a rover Mars in 2021. So what if HarmonyOS is just rebranded Android? They modified it for their own designs, put in a few backdoors and it will achieve its purpose, capitalizing on the work of Westeners. They are standing on the shoulders of giants.

appreciate the tip, assuming you mean at a coffee shop or something similar?

Still have the kids though :) so cant really go grab coffee that early. I am sure most of the problem is me not figuring it out but I am pretty much at a loss, I work remotely, have younger kids that I have to take to school and pickup, feed etc. Finish work at like 6 then kids until 9. So weekdays are out. Then weekends seems like there is always something to do or I am just exhausted and feel bad abandoning my wife and kids to go do something.

I know I am the cause of my own issues, just not sure of the solution.

Elixir! I've got such a mixed bag of feelings for that language.

It's elegant but it's build-times are pretty terrible.

It has the RPC stuff built-in but I've never seen anyone use it in production and instead folks are doing redis or
something else traditional.

It has elegant process management but it's cloaked in magic (that you have to carefully learn).

To your question - this weekend I'm learning kafka's client protocol (and maybe amqp protocol?) and try to write a transparent proxy of sorts.

I've been involved in GWAS before, so have an inkling of what's going on. I love the creativity in this paper.

The stuff is super fascinating, but the pipelines are still very primitive—so I encourage programmers to get involved in bioinformatics if you like this stuff! In the future I expect we see work like this accompanied by not only source code but Spore like simulations that let you explore the ideas like a video game.

There were obviously viruses before urbanization (especially given there are viruses that spread in wild animal populations), they probably just spread more slowly. At the minimum, there was probably regular deliberate contact/mixing between adjacent groups to avoid too much inbreeding, and that would imply other social contacts (e.g. an adult who married into another group returning home to catch up with his/her parents and old friends).

One big advantage of AI-piloted fighter jets is that they can use accelerations that could not be tolerated by humans.
Also, in theory they could be faster.

But it seems a very dangerous development.
If a scientist comes out with a research finding, and you then find out X Corp was backing them, you’d change your confidence on the trustworthiness of the research done. Similar to any op-ed, understanding bias is valuable, and calling out bias with good reasons is useful for the unaware.
