Cable TV Owners: It’s 2021 Let’s Get Digital Already
Yeah, good point. I don't disagree with that. On the flipside, bad acting will ruin any movie too, no matter how good everything else is.
My daughter has "olive" skin that looks distinctly of greenish tinge when she holds her arm next to a piece of white printer paper.
That was exactly my reading. I watched 75 films so far this year, most of them obscure at least in a sense that I had to make an effort to get them and while not all of them were great, a lot of them were interesting and that's after four decades of watching movies and seeing surely more thousands of them. I am sure I would feel similar to the article's author if I limited my choice only to what streaming services offer.
I do care about security, privacy and integrity. So, I'm going to use the fork.
What is selfish about regulating some things that otherwise put a burden on society and have almost no upside for the individual if not regulated? Even if they and their families pay the highest cost for their stupidity, this doesn't mean there is no case for regulation.
The big missing element of this discussion is the context of what kind of application are we static analyzing.

If it’s an internal CRUD webapp then who cares if a few pedantic lint rules (max length line anyone?) are disabled.

If it’s a safety critical application written in c that controls an airplane avionics then all static analysis rules should be followed to the letter.

Am I so old that even the mere concept of beta testing doesn't make sense anymore?
He also said in the thread that his partners wouldn't have gone for it, so he may have thought BSD was better back then too, but went with what he could do.

Releasing the engine code at all was a big deal back then, and inspired some others to do so, but others sometimes had more restrictive than GPL licenses; GPL is certainly better than a license prohibiting commercial use.
I'm just sketching something, I'm not claiming to have developed a vulnerability research result here from my arm chair. But there's a lot of terrain between "it's encrypted so there are no attack" and "you haven't presented a fully developed attack" especially about a system we don't know much about.

Anyway, there are many scenarios that come to mind for knowing their IO sizes. Apps probably have IO fingerprints. Or you could send the set of suspected users differently sized files to probe them. Etc.
You're focusing on a very specific niche. Sci-fi and adventure were rarely the interest of good film makers, so few sci-fi or adventure films were made.

But that does not reflect on the larger film industry of the 80s and 90s, which was producing many more incredible movies which stood the test of time. 1999 alone gave us Fight Club, The Talented Mr Ripley, Being John Malkovich, American Beauty, The Iron Giant, Eyes Wide Shut, The Matrix, The Sixth Sense, The Green Mile.

There has always been a lot of schlock cinema being produced, but right now it is dominating much more than in the last few decades.
You can come up with the best story you have but if I as an audio engineer create a mix where you can't legibly hear dialogue you'd walk out of the theater in anger.

If the cinematographer has constant camera shakes in every shot - even a dialogue scene - then also you can salvage the movie.

For some not so extreme examples think about what happens if the actors are shit - The Room is a good example. The story is good but the acting is what made it into a "so bad - let's troll this" movie.
That was a very good and thorough walk through of that book. I highly enjoyed it - so thanks a lot for sharing!
Maybe? I'm willing to bet that after 810+ movies he'll have seen all of the tropes and techniques trotted out by those outside of Hollywood. How many ways can you really tell a compelling story or possibly show an artistic experience?
That goes for every role. Bad lighting will kill thr movie, bad audio mixes will kill it and on and on.
Does anybody have any reading recommendations or thoughts on the topic of how people _with_ drilled or otherwise refined skills can turn into people who come up with and complete mature creative projects? In creative contexts I know a lot of people who get stuck on just drilling their skills forever or who want to be mature creative project-completers but mysteriously aren't getting it done. I've read a lot about how people get world-class good at things ("10k hours") but I don't think those books explain why one person successfully completes a unique comic, album, short film, or novella and another person struggles with that goal all their days, either only producing derivative work or never completing their work. Some of the focus on "10k'ing" your way to world class skill feels like a distraction from developing as an independent thing-finisher. Some incredible creative work has been completed by people with decent-but-not-world-class skill.
No, the main point still stands that he wished that he had used the other license. Sensationalist implies that some accuracy is being sacrificed.
Thanks so much for suggesting Ogilvy. Definitely going to read it. As of increase of sales, I think all business activities ultimately lead to either increase of revenue or improvement of margin (lower cost). The question is, is it first order effect or higher order effect.

Online banners charging "per impression" is second order effect, by occupying "mind share" while charging "per conversion" is first order effect. IMO most measurements are on the first order side and we have less visibility on the second order effect

Surely it didn't cost GOOG $6B upfront worth of infrastructure to get $300M of annual revenue from Apple. Yes, there's economies of scale, but I think you overstate the case.
The author clearly has not tapped the goldmine of world cinema (or American film history for that matter) if Superbad is their paradigmatic case of a challenging film.
I was never a huge pinball enthusiast, but have fond memories of playing them in arcades. I fail to see the appeal of these digital replicas, so here's a "get off my lawn" rant...

The entire experience of a pinball machine was physical/mechanical: you felt the clunk when releasing the plunger, which you'd sometimes have to do more than once to get the momentum just right. You'd hear the rolling of the ball and each time it made contact. Sound didn't just come from stereo speakers, but from many places on the board and was an immersive experience all on its own. Nudging the machine was a pro move, as each machine was different and handled tilt detection differently. There was this raw sensation of interacting with an electromechanical device that I don't see how a table computer with some monitors and speakers would ever be able to replicate. Sure, being able to load different games is nice, but I think it would still feel more like a video game than a pinball machine.

I love MAME, but at the end of the day it's only emulating software. The joy of the arcade was in the variety of physical controls, sitting in that game booth, and every cabinet offering an entirely new experience.
Sounds like DIY is still the way to go.

I've been meaning to build one (but I'll have to get a PC first since it doesn't run on the Mac).
The relevant implication in it hypothetically having been BSD is that he would have convinced his partners, not that its usage would have made the project never happen.
Thank you but I am not depressed. I am a realist. This is simply the sad state of affairs that we find ourselves in.
For anyone who finds themselves getting bored scrolling through the film options on Netflix, or utterly disinterested in watching Marvel film #593 then I'd recommend Mubi [0]. It mainly shows independent films from around the world and it cycles through them relatively quickly - they add a new movie every day so there's always something you haven't considered watching yet.

> Con Air and The Rock were not written by a writer as good as the ones you mentioned but they did have the right actors to make those movies really enjoyable for a lot of people. I would submit the actors salvaged those movies.

I mean we can expand the scope of the conversation and lower the bar, but the article writer's scope seemed to be one of being "on a quest for the one-in-a-hundred experience" to which I was responding to the dearth of such.

Are Jerry Bruckehimer movies really one-in-a-hundred experiences?

I mean I get where you're coming from: I loved and still love Starship Troopers but I'm not gonna assert its high-value cinema or on the level the article writer is seeking.

Friends is some of the most mindless television I've ever seen but its basically the most popular and successful TV show ever, so what do we want to measure?

This is a weird claim!

I searched for "men can". Eventually, on the fourth page of results I found an article from healthline[1] about periodic hormonal changes in men that does appear to have similar effects to the female period.

This doesn't appear to be any form of bias or correction of bias or anything other than a highly SEOed and indexed page the is shown in response to a very vague query that matches the title of this page.

Interesting piece that made me reflect on experiencing some similar feelings in my own life.

The thing about Passive Media Consumption is Fundamentally Bad stuck out too. Reminded me (and I know this will go against many HNers and tech ppl) of anyone who watches YouTube. (Subscribes to channels/watches video games being played/watches personalities talk about stuff or them experiencing something etc). YouTube is horribly passive and alot seems like a cesspool of low bar content if you can even call it that with negative societal and cultural ramifications. I mostly steer clear of any long format/regularly posting YouTube content for that very reason. It irks me that guys who review gear or whatever have a million subscribers and while they might be ok ppl it's the subscribers that really are somewhat concerning spending that much time consuming consuming consuming drawn out passive content. Ugggh. Suppose this applies to 'Twitch streamers' very much so also.

Anyways could go on but that element of the post garnered a thought anyways.
You can absolutely do a full device backup on any computer via Finder on Mac and iTunes on Windows.
Yes, but not only. You can think of the rules as classifiers with non zero false positive rates. They were extracted by going backwards from errors that were made often. There may be some cases where you want to break the rule for a reason. Then you better document why, because that this reason still holds must ideally be reviewed with any relevant change.

And then there are rules that target i.e. portability and warn you that the code may easily break on change, although currently it is not broken.
I agree with what you say but even if I had the cash ($10K!) and the space for one it would still only be a single pinball cab. So I guess you have to make tradeoffs.

To be sure from what I've seen the physics are amazing, visuals photo-realistic. If there's haptic feedback you're 90% of the way there?
If someone was to ask me how far is was from sun to earth, and I answered 1AU, and they asked what an AU was?

> The method described in this article might work for realism in oils, but please don’t accept it as the exclusive way to create art.

The method in this article applies universally to any art, music, any creative endeavor, and frankly even non-creative endeavors.

It can be reduced to this: take time to practice, improve, and eventually excel at specific skills/techniques that comprise your craft, with no regard for any sort of big picture during this focused practice.
You underestimate the amount of Google employees spending time on useless things.
This sentiment seems so weird to me. Can you point to a single enterprise offering where Google is collecting data and using it themselves? Or where it would even make sense to do so? Corporate customers pay a lot more per byte than the fleeting value of private data so Google has a strong incentive to never ever touch that data.
That would still leave SF homeless underrepresented on HN.
Incorrect, there is zero about the BSD license that would've prevented you from reading the source if it was released with the Free-er BSD license.

For the particular metric John cares about, yes definitely. But there are other metrics out there by which GPL would have been a superior choice.
(not one of researchers but I submitted this because I like the research)

I have not tried Rust for a while so this might have changed, but in the tiny embedded devices I work in, where your 'free' memory is for instance 24kb and the speed of the MCU is a few mhz, there really is only C/asm. You need to mess around with every single byte to make it fit and fast enough. There are surprisingly many of these MCU's around everywhere around us. And you (usually) cannot update their firmware remotely (or at all actually), so it's important it doesn't have massive bugs.
My understanding is that when Copilot automatically inserts some GPL licensed code fragment into your project, your project automatically has to become GPL licensed, whether you want and realize or not.
You have a point, which is why the legal system would still require that a copy be substantial before they count it as infringing. I would argue that Copilot has already been shown to copy substantial portions, though.
A Nanowire Network That Mimics the Brain Could Inspire New Designs in AI
Use less software.

But really, I think some perspective is needed on what is "safe". Is riding in a car "safe"? Is eating food from the supermarket "safe"? Can you ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE that it's IMPOSSIBLE to screw it up? How did my parents survive for 60 years under these UNSAFE conditions?

I think electronic devices can be pretty damn safe, even without totally locked-down firmware and secure-boot. They can be flashed with low-level firmware at the hardware level (SPI or JTAG or similar), then boot trusted install media, wipe the mass storage and install fresh.

Then, keep it minimal, keep it under control. Don't install and use 20k components/libraries which you are not familiar with and of which hundreds want to update every other day. At least, be familiar with all the processes and daemons running. Either you should know why they're there, or they should not be there. You don't need a firewall if no process is listening for connections (and if you need a firewall to block it, why are you running it ?!) Just run less junk.

I think you're extrapolating his advice into something it's not. He is advocating a way to improve (by focusing on narrow tasks and skills), and he never says this will turn your into a painter.

I wonder if you had Paul Greengrass movies in mind
One idea might be to identify what are the biggest challenges that your generation must address. Big, long-term zeitgeisty problems that you (not the media) believe are most important and can be addressed meaningfully in your lifetime. No more than the three biggest.

For Boomers it might have been something like prevent WWIII, normalize race relations and the whole computing/communications revolution.

Maybe for your generation it could be

managing the East/West rebalancing to the benefit of all,

reigniting the idea of universal human rights and their meaningful enforcement,

reducing air pollution in Asia and saving millions of lives a year,

universal basic income that actually works,

eliminating global slavery,

eliminating global malnutrition,

redefining what aging means in the 21st C and beyond,

figuring out how to develop AI for the benefit of all

*Big* global ideas that are 50+ year projects.

Then find your niche in chipping away, either actively or passively, at one or more of the three. Until any problem is solved, you’ll always have a mission and a meaning and a group of like-minded folks to hang with. That counts for a whole lot in life.

If the problem isn’t some media fantasy and is actually worth your life’s dedication, the money (at least enough money) will come.

pre-commit is actually a very solid linter task runner framework, I would still recommend it even if you don’t like Git pre-commit hooks (just omit the `pre-commit install` part); the `pre-commit run` command is still very useful invoked directly (optionally with --all-files and passing a specific hook id to run).

Sneedposting is a 4chan meme indeed, but this time there is nothing particularly nefarious about it; it's an adult joke from an old episode of The Simpsons, with a store front saying:

Basic batching or partitioning of data before offloading to storage would defeat this analysis, and that’s assuming you can access and query so much data regularly.

I asked for practical examples. I don’t need an in-depth report to see that this doesn’t qualify.

Most of this crypto stuff is completely impractical risk, especially compared to some phishing emails.

A lot of strawmanning here.

As someone who lived in SF for over 10 years I can tell you that in the first 7 years there were zero homeless tents at Mission / Van Ness and in the following 3 years the street was lined up with them.

There were zero homeless in the tunnel to Powell station and then the tunnel was lined up with them. You could not only see but also smell.

I don't know how to express going from 0 homeless to "have I been teleported to a favela?" in percentages. You can't divide by 0.

Yeah, SF never was a paradise but now it's definitely a slum.

I was very skeptical after reading this article last night but I checked some hobby code I am writing to see if I really needed the 7 golangci disable comments.

It turns out I didn't really need them and that I had not understood the lints correctly.

I recommend anyone else who is also skeptical to try to remove some of the disable comments -- you might be surprised.
When I first read the snippet, I thought "What a terrible piece of code.". Later on, I read: "In fact, the code written above was actually entirely automatically synthesised by our tool, along with a proof certificate, formally guaranteeing its correctness."

So it looks like the code is terrible, and they only give an example for a simple usecase. So I'm not very enthousiastic about using this technique in practice.

The rest of the post looks very informative though, although I haven't completely read it yet.
Psychologically different though. There is a known end time and work to do when normally at sea.
How would you get empirical evidence of this?

Are there any AAA game engines released under a BSD license to compare with?

I don't think many games (or other software) ended up shipping with code from the GPL Quake source, other than Quake source ports. Is that because of code quality, code specialization, license, lack of support, or something else? Hard to tell empirically; I think a lot of game developers do want to be able to sell their creations, and not disclose their source code though.
Of course as you watch more and more movies (regardless of the time frame) there are going to be fewer and fewer that surprise you. That's just the birthday problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem translated into film concepts. It's on you, the viewer, to remain comfortable with familiarity, or to seek out the novel, like a person who is bored with fast food taking up Thai food -- maybe when they started out flavors that unusual would have seemed awful, but after your fortieth Big Mac, pad Thai seems interesting. Likewise after seeing many films, maybe The Lobster seems interesting.
