> " I've had people email pitching me on embedding crypto-mining programmes in the games I sell on Steam. It's intensely sinister stuff."

I had a "friend" (more of an acquaintance really) a while back that kept trying to convince me that this was a good idea and I (as the only programmer he knew) should help him do it. Couldn't for the life of me convince him that it was pretty much certain to backfire spectacularly in any number of possible dumpster fires he wouldn't want to be a part of. He just wasn't willing to see how sneaking crypto-mining software into other people machines without their knowledge could possibly be perceived as "bad" by anyone.
Does anyone have some outdoor camera recommendations?

The ones I had were very low resolution, I could hardly recognize myself in video.
Note that it's talking about the data, not the map/art. It's a bit more subtle than most open source licenses. The ODbL distinguishes between the data and other things made with it. From that page:

"What exactly do I need to share?

ODbL draws a distinction between data, (geodata), and works produced from the data, (maps). You are probably distributing data if you are involved in searching, routing, geocoding. You are probably distributing maps if you print paper maps, have a website with map tiles, or are displaying a map as part of a larger work such as a television show, film, advertisement or book.

[...]

- If you correct or extend our data, you need to share your new data.

- If you make a map from our data, you may publish the map itself under any license you like, including commercial. You DO however, have to share the underlying data [...]"
I live in Canada but haven't heard of the hydro houses you mentioned ("hydro" here is confusingly a synonym for electricity so google isn't helping either), can you provide specifics?

I’m a half introvert/extrovert (Myers Briggs has me leaning towards introvert). I definitely felt less lonely during the pandemic. I lost a lot of “friends” (acquaintances) and gained some truly intimate relationships with a few. I thought it was the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Though this worked because I had a few friends to begin with who wanted to be in a bubble
The headline does say 'preschooler'. Minecraft is awesome for kids probably around 6+.
Thank you for your contribution to the conversation
I am not sure why any talk about Hydrogen triggers such a visceral reaction from people. There has been major advances in Hydrogen research as well - from production to storage. Both of have gotten much cheaper (consider UNSW's research on using Nickel instead of Platinum electrodes).
The promise isn't for the content to be free, but for access to be unrestricted. I want to pay money and get a DRM-free file. Bandcamp delivers on that promise, so that's the only place I buy music from. Media you get via torrent is of higher quality and more useful than the DRM-encumbered media you get by paying. If you are even allowed to pay for it in the first place, that is.
A government shill would write an article just like this. Oh medium, nvr mind.

Great points. Humans love to categorise don’t we, even if it doesn't change anything
Not sure why people consider it an art.. some software problems only have 1 correct solution that runs in a time constraint, proven by mathematical induction..Art is subjective no?
The economy grew rapidly following the end of the Iran-Iraq war. You'd expect to see a rapid drop as the economy recovered.

It is possible the policy changes also had an effect, but again the point is not that policy changes can't have an effect, but that we don't know.
I don't know what your game is, but I made no claim.
Write a report on the condition of the project. Write down exactly what needs to be done to finish the project and if possible estimate it. You don't need to turn it in, but you need it for you.

In a case like this it is fair to reduce the scope of the project and deliver limited functionality if there is business value in delivering the reduced scope project.

I worked on one project that was technically brilliant but had been going in circles for two years before I arrived. There was a meeting that top management was in about the state of the project. I discovered that we'd deliver a huge amount of value if we gave up on adding desired features and shipped what we had.

So we did. One of the best possible customers called us up on the first day it went live to buy it.

My (direct) boss never forgave me for this and it was the beginning of the end. Six months later I shipped the rest of the functionality.

Then I quit.

They called me six months later and said they still hadn't found my replacement. I told them that they'd have to fire my boss if they wanted to retain anyone. I checked his LinkedIn profile the next week and he was out.

I suffered a lot from that job (I started taking antidepressants BEFORE the crisis hit) but I avoided "moral injury" because I did the right thing. Finding the next job was quite an adventure though...

> lol never thought I'd tutor Korean in HN, but why not... :)

And I never thought I’d learn Korean on HN either! But I appreciate anyone willing to talk to me about a topic of interest.

> It's a bit cheating, because 것 "thing" is kinda special and combines with the preceding verbal clause to create a noun clause. A better translation (if I were to teach Korean) would be "that". So, "이런 문장을 쓰신 것" is "that [you] wrote a sentence like this".

Huh, this is interesting! I haven’t come across this particular example of grammaticalisation before, but the World Lexicon of Grammaticalisation informs me that the same development has also occurred in Japanese (and apparently Ik as well), which makes me suspect areal factors.

> So, I guess you got most of the grammar right from very few clues. :)

Good to know! Though I must admit to ‘cheating’ as well… I’m very interested in linguistics, and Korean word order has many similarities to some other languages I’ve looked at. Also, I had to find a Korean reference grammar online before I could understand some parts :) But I’m still a bit surprised I was as successful as I was.
Cybersecurity and the curse of binary thinking
This is why the argument that rampant piracy will kill creative industries has no sway for me. There already exists multiple lifetimes or movies to watch, books to read, and music to hear. Why should I be concerned that it was all made before the piracy apocalypse? Realistically, government propaganda and eccentric multi-millionaires will continue produce mid-budget films with good production value and the starving artists and no-budget passion projects will also continue their productions unabated.

That's not really relevant to the question asked there: You don't need to own an Apple product to buy music trough iTunes.

If you wanted just that one song then iTunes was very much the most affordable, and accessible, way to legally buy digital music back then because it only charged you $1 for a song.

The only other alternatives where, often legally rather obscure, flatrate subscription models or buying the physical full album, which would usually have cost you at least $20+

Valve did something very similar with Steam: Very easy to use and it actually passed on the savings from digital distribution to the consumers by heavily discounting the prices of games.
I sometimes experience “boreout” on days where most of my team members are on holidays or when it’s a bit slow at work. However I still have to be “at the computer” even if I’m not doing anything. On the days I am bored, I don’t have motivation to even shop or cyberloaf. With remote work I literally touch my mouse, make sure my teams status is green, walk away and do something else at home. Sucks because I can never disconnect from work for the day. I wish we would advance quicker into performance based / tasks oriented work rather than just needing to be available.
Yes, but the key difference is that the mafia is, by definition, a criminal organization and the upside is not linked in any way with being a mafia. Ads, on the other hand, do inherently have the positive quality of showing you products and could exist without their current downsides.

> I understood how the method works and wrote code for it

We were allowed (and encouraged) to write cheatsheets for most of our exams at university. However, they had to be a single sheet and handwritten.

The reasoning was that in the process of creating a cheatsheet, students would reinforce their learning. The handwriting requirement was to encourage us to write them ourselves, instead of just printing one off, and the size requirement was so that we had to think about how to distill a semester of learning instead of just trying to copy the entire textbook by hand.

I really liked the system, and I feel like it did help more than just allowing open book exams. I remember of the few exams that were open book (some even allowed us to use the internet, but with a ban on communicating with others), I usually got a worse grade, as I ended up putting less effort into studying.
Could've done something more constructive. Zuck will just find another song to license.

Seriously, I don’t pay for YouTube premium but I absolutely would if I had children. That plus PiHole and a browser ad blocker.
about 97ish the best you could do was local call rates (either 0845, or just a local dial in number). At the weekend that was 1p per minute. Downloading a 40 minute episodes would take 4 hours, so £2.40. That's £4.50 today, or $6.25.
Great! Thanks for the response
This looks interesting, and might help me resurrect an abandoned project. I think you need to test the home page more on mobile. It's very hard to scroll past the map demo, and if you make the mistake of stopping scrolling with the demo filling the screen, you're stuck! Making the demo smaller on small screens would probably fix it, as would leaving a margin on the sides.
Less accurate, because "eigen" is a word used to describe ownership. "Eigenheit" is a distinct property "owned" by something. "Eigentum" literally means ownership.

Am I too cynical if that entire flowchart reads like “yeah 1+1=2 … makes sense”
Or: You Zuck Fuckerberg.
My source of deeply scary and chilling things is German and French authors from the interwar period (twenties and early thirties). The state of mind at the time was essentially optimistic. "After the great war, and the advent of large-scale international commerce, another war is simply unthinkable." "English and French students go to spend the summer in beautiful Germany and vice-versa; everybody has actual friends all around Europe." "Modern armies are so powerful that nobody in their right mind would ever think of them fighting for the currently well-delimited pieces of land in western Europe." "Moreover, why would you go to kill people in the neighboring country which is full of friends of yours?" "We are in 1930, not in 1910 where countries were so isolated." "Each country depends essentially in products produced by other countries, any war would be a net loss for everybody so it won't happen." You can read thousands of pages of such drivel, which is chillingly similar to what you can read today. More chillingly, you will realize that the exact same zeitgeist happened at the turn of the century, way before the great war.

There's lots of writings on the subject. The most out-worldly chilling stuff I've read is still Écrits sur l'Allemagne by a young french philosopher Simone Weil (sister of celebrated mathematician André Weil), describing her experiences in Germany in 1932-1933. Basically, she says that shit has already shit the fan and that it is already too late to avoid major conflict in Germany. Notice that, at that moment, many German jewish scientists like Einstein were still working in Germany. She expresses her dismay that modern citizens of Europe are so confident in permanent peace that they have forgotten the lessons of the previous century. Incidentally, a few years later she joined the International Brigades (alongside George Orwell) to fight the fascist uprising in Spain.

I agree that, overall, modern life is much better, especially thanks to our knowledge in biology and medicine. The human victories against smallpox, polio, etc. are major things to be proud of. Technology is a double-sided sword, but undoubtedly has had a positive influence. But we have not yet "grokked" history, and we seem set up to repeat the errors of the past, and this is sad.
Most engineering projects have standards. Not the cutting edge stuff, but most of it does. Many are from regulations and safety laws setting specifications for this and that, but some are simply there because they won by being the most popular.

Software Development by contrast has no standards. You can hire two different enterprise sized companies with this and that certification in the exact same technologies, who claim to adhere to the exact same principles for best practices and what not. They mean it too, often they’ve even gone through the same sort or internal re-education processes with the same consultant companies at the same time, yet they still manage to build software projects so different that transferring ownership from one to the other, or setting up a multiple supplier open source project, is sooooo much work you wouldn’t believe it.

If computer science wants to be engineering, I need to be capable of hiring an architect who makes plans that can be implemented by any supplier, and I need to be able to switch supplier/contractor 2-3 times during the process without issues because the plans can only be implemented one way. We’re probably a lot further away from that world today than we were 30 years ago. The only company that seems to have smelled the music on this stuff is Microsoft and their cloud.
VA: What Is Moral Injury?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_floor
I've had some short term memory issues (I'm 51) that seem to, more than not, be attributed to working from home during COVID. As we're coming out of it, I see it gradually diminishing with the hopes of doing new things, getting out of the house, and doing 'a little more now rather than waiting for an eventuality that might never happen.'

I think it's a combination of a lack of stimuli, anxiety with work (I'm far from alone in our local employment where folks are underutilized and 'waiting to proceed', and a rut between the bed, the couch and the home office. I was (and am) getting exercise, but there needs to be more than that to continue to be mentally happy.

I think some of it was a psychological over-attribution to normal forgetfulness...people forget things...older people can proportionally forget more things...it's not [necessarily] early onset dementia, not during a pandemic.
> India similarly, it's full of wars and empires and atrocities and disasters

But the British came in, and committed atrocities and enslaved the country. How is this a good change?
I really could not care less what Roger thinks if this is the tone. Flagged.
It's very difficult to get traction here with a generic title. The prefered style is something like "CashHub: Snap your receipts and monitors for price drops" (I had to be very creative to get a title I like, so I mixed two sentences. Perhaps you can pick a better title, but try con highlight the technical part.)

I don't understand how it "monitors for price drops". What does it mean? In Amazon? In the online version of the supermarket?

Did you write it? What is the tech stack?
Lots of cynical takes on HN whenever there's a post on Virgin Galactic or Blue Origin. Personally I'm super excited about pieces of actual physical hardware that can fly really fast.

Unlocking the ‘gut microbiome’ – and its significance to our health
I have been using it, and there's a liberating lack of bullshit. I love that there's no comments/spam/trolls. It took me like 15min to get it going on a droplet. What a fantastically simple project.
It was viscerally satisfying to hear, but Roger Waters has also made a name for himself as a ‘Syria Truther’ - going out of his way to spread lies about Syria, claiming Assad never used chemical weapons, and maligning the White Helmets. Roger Waters is no hero.

Edit - here’s one source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5621847/Roger-Water...

There are many others you can find by searching “Roger Waters Syria”.

Earlier it was ‘all’.
Most programming isn't implementing the specific most efficient algorithm. Usually it's mostly architecting, bricklaying, and tweaking.
Go in on Monday, explain your situation and just say you won’t be able to get it done. It takes courage but a much needed courage. Our management believes we can do so much with so little people but what they don’t understand is we had people working late nights and weekends doing 5/60+ hours a week and not saying anything about it. So it gives them that sense of “this much work can be done from 9-5”.
As much as Roger Waters lost all my respect back then when he sided with Maduro during the Venezuelan protests, giving the middle finger to Zuckerberg is something I wholeheartedly endorse. The irony is just too thick with his materials in particular.
I feel you. I hate Medium, too.

But I hate even more that this is the top most comment on hn, even though you admit to not even having read the article and clearly don’t know what it’s about.

Sorry, I know this comment is OT as well…
Satire of movements against active suppression, prejudice and unfairness, can be done, but will mostly be seen through the veil as a sort of bullying tactic, justifications and righteousness. Address the issues first, then we can joke about it over a beer.
Isn't that how good tests should be written anyway?

It's like having unit tests and integration tests in software testing.
Being a good looking is actually a good advice.

While you can't be born that way you can surely make yourself less pretty then before due to life choices.
I could imagine the fallout if I did this to my neighbors. Legal or not there would likely be pitchforks and worse headed my way. I suppose this is an interesting test to see what people will put up with.
As someone (~50) who has spent much of the past 2 months suffering in pain in some hospital, I endorse your decision. Several hospital-issued medication issues there that set me back.

I’m now at home, where I’m slowly healing just as well. As long as I can eat and drink (and failure to be able to do that is what sent me to hosp to begin with), I stay here.

I’m going to come out of this more healthy, I’m determined.

If you’re younger (or older!), I strongly endorse avoiding the pharma industry to the extent possible. The side effects will almost aways catch up to you at some point, usually during a crisis or other sickness. Work on your weak spots “naturally” (eg, if you’re anxious, master meditation and physical workouts). If you’re on a chronic drug, always carefully re-evalulate risks/benefits at least once a year, and find out if there are any new non-pharma approaches.

With a very few exceptions, pharma is about temporarily soothing symptoms while doing nothing for the underlying disease.
General principle: if the gadget seems pointless or lazy, ask yourself, "how could this be useful to disabled people?"

Because it was probably developed for them, but they aren't a big enough market. So it has to be sold as a gimmick.
While they have similar length[1][2], roughly 6500-7000 km, the discharge from the Amazon is roughly two orders of magnitude greater, 4200 m^3/s vs 209000 m^3/s average.

> The Economist magazine (Nov 27, 2004 p. 71) cites the Standish Group's estimates that

"...30% of all software projects are canceled, nearly half come in over budget, 60% are considered failures by the organizations that initiated them, and 9 out of 10 come in late."

In 2021 (as well as in 2004) it is meaningless to talk about "all software projects" without specifying domain, size, scope and project etymology. "Software" is too vast. It could be an app to tell the time with Mickey Mouses hands, or it could be the control software for a joint strike fighter.

That’s exactly the order for me. My iTunes account was so old that it wasn’t even an email address, it was just a username. I don’t mind the two separate accounts for iCloud vs iTunes, but was annoyed when Apple aggressively started trying to force me to change away from a “username” to an account login based on an “email address”. I finally caved and did it a while back, being told that I wouldn’t need to re-login on every device, but that turned out to be a lie. I’ve also had to call Apple three times to get some kind of “security alert” cleared on the account (they seem to immediately know the issue and fix it quickly, but won’t describe why it happens) following the change or otherwise I’m blocked from making purchases.
If I understand it, that code contains functions that build up "text" Javascript code, compiles it into a function, then runs it. Right?
