I built a raspberry pi powered machine to press the button and time the game and then slow motioned it in action: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=79hE-vf2tzs

Basically it would delay the release to just miss if you happen to time it perfectly.

I complained to the Metreon theater in SF and they had the machine removed the next day. I also read of lawsuits years ago so I’m surprised I still see this machine worldwide.
Isn't the entire point of cryptocurrencies that it's right wing? It's built on the concept of market competition, and the complete lack of government restrictions. It's an incredibly neoliberal concept, which has been the economic policy of the right for decades.
> But if you support all RDBMS you only can support the smallest intersection between them and can't use advanced features like CTE, window functions, JSON support etc.

That's not true at all, any more that it’s true of supporting all browsers with JS. You can use the advanced features where available, and implement logically (if not performance)-equivalent functionality using more basic functions where the advanced features aren’t available.

Or, if you are lazy, just have a reduced feature set available with less capable RDBMS engines. But, on any case, its simply not the case that an ORM that supports engines of varying capacity is limited to using only the least-common-denominator feature set.
Try reading with a stronger interpretation. Of course I know recommendations are per-person - consider why I wrote that comment anyway. There's also a few videos digging into why Mark Robber's videos are consistently winning the popularity contest while others aren't.
> no way for the platforms to really deal with gullibility and propaganda without making the problem worse

These are uncharted waters. I’d be wary of mistaking such hypotheses for absolute truths.

When mass journalism arrived we had yellow journalism. Journalistic standards arose, people chose their papers, and while it wasn’t a monotonic rise to goodness, what followed was better than what was.

I don’t know what the Internet will look like in a few years. But I’m fairly confident it won’t be laissez faire.

Are people not allowed to change their opinion? It seems to me that this is a person who once believed something, but later has gotten proof that what they believed was wrong and then changed their mind. This is a good thing, not at all hypocritical.
It may look brittle to a newcomer, but it in my actual experience it is way less brittle than Python, Java or C++ ecosystems. The size is mostly due to packages shipping three different module types in multiple flavors.

>To offer a more pessimistic case this was true for Google, whose Stadia product flopped

I don't think that Google has ever shown any ability in pivoting if their first idea was not super successful. So they don't really have any business DNA about trying to understand what people want and giving it to them. Netflix has that DNA.
> A company belongs to its shareholders.

A company is generally its own legal entity, intentionally separated from its shareholders to protect them from any fallout should the company ever go bankrupt or get sued into oblivion. You can get into serious trouble if you founded a company and failed to correctly distinguish between your own and the companies property, because as far as the government is concerned you explicitly told it to make this distinction.
> "vaccines that do not provide sterilizing immunity"

Here's the flaw in your argument. All vaccines provide immunity so the study does not apply.

> because the therapy doesn't prevent infection nor spreading of the virus)

Wrong. Biontech - 95% of the population is immune. It prevents spread to 95% of vaccinated people. The rest for some reason or another it doesn't work.

So you build your whole argument on a logical fallacy.

I think I repeated this a few times so no point in continuing if you can't wrap your head around this.
> Isn't the entire point of cryptocurrencies that it's right wing?

No, its libertarian, not right-wing. They are basically on orthogonal axes (the US’s superficially unidimensional partisan divide and the fact that the right-wing party is the more prone to try to sell itself to libertarians may confuse Americans about this, though.)

When England went back onto the gold standard in 1925 it was a form of extreme austerity. That's because the govt can't easily create more money supply if needed. That's similar to the problem with BTC and cryptos with limited availablity. It just favours the early entrants.

A lot of people thought that, at the dawn of the crypto era.

I think an effective way to fight capitalism would be to rethink the banking system. We need public banks which will invest in the productive sector like manufacturing instead of speculating. That's how banks used to operate actually. Well yes crypto definitely won't get us there right now.

Yes, sure, that's why "strong" and "weak" pretty much need to be in airquotes as that's a narrow and niche aspect of that word, as there are many quite different and better aspects of strength - but those don't apply to that quote. Perhaps that sentence would be more accurately phrased as "Hard times create hard people, hard people create good times, good times create soft people, soft people create hard times" or something like that.

What I have in mind regarding this saying is what I see (both in relatives, acquaitances, life stories of those who passed away, and general culture) in the generation that were kids during WW2 who had the frontlines pass over them and the disruptions to their families caused by mass conscriptions and ubiquitous violence towards civilians as well. They are very different from their kids and grandkids. It's overwhelmingly a generation of hard, strong people - also clearly a generation of people who afterwards built better times through their attitude towards hardship, in ways that the following generations simply won't tolerate. And at the same time, overwhelmingly a generation of severely emotionally damaged people in many ways.
There is almost literally no way to verify that any of that is true.

It's a proprietary device, running proprietary (updateable) firmware, using proprietary tamper-resistant security chips for which the supply line and schematics are not publicly verified.

Without knowing the particulars of that specific company, this doesn't always hold true.

Companies in this situation (handsomely profitable but little/no growth) can start issuing dividends (or share buybacks).

True, they wouldn't be valued as a growth company any longer, causing a dip in the stock price, but that wouldn't necessarily mean continuous decline until oblivion.
Yep, totally agree. For now we are focussing on plain-old-JS with VueJS. Nothing more. It's just frustrating that the UI component library we want to use (FluentUI) requires React & TS, which in turn require a bundler / build system, which leads to a world of pain!

What is it with modern frontend development that people think you can just quickly "get up-to-speed" with it? Nobody would accept these complaints of complexity had you said "I'm just trying to get these web developers up-to-speed hacking on the linux kernel", they would advise you to start them on something simpler, to get to learn the languages and tools gradually.

I agree there's more complexity than there should be, but you also dump them in the most complex stack that can be dreamed up in the field.
what if we create an engine that finds similar objects and merges them together, so it find redundant code and creates slices that are only called from within whatever file needs that part of the code. basically a don’t repeat yourself engine..
> you don't want a single actor to control OSS funding

You’re replacing a single actor you can sue in court with a dynamic, pseudo-anonymous committee one can lobby that will make its decision based on rules or whims. That sounds like a step backwards.

Separately, why would anyone pay the premium? If you want a bug fixed and are willing to pay for it, you’d get the job done faster hiring the dev on freelance.

Swapping this to a simple insurance model exposes the flaws. Unfortunately, there is a lot of this going on in crypto. (Though I am of the belief that people are free to lose their money, as long as it doesn’t become a political problem.)

An electron desktop app makes sense for applying knowledge of web tech, its kind of silly to complain that Electron + React + TS + ESLint isn’t an ideal pedagogical platform for web tech, and is overwhelming to a bewbie with lots of different moving parts.

Solar input is higher than hundreds million years ago, and for tens of million years there've been several extinction events above 900 ppm. Extinctions happens fast and wipes out alot of life. Researchers find CO2 to often be catalyst.

Humans are adapted to Holocene, so it seems best to not poke the bear. However, 100 years of pollution need to be undone for that.
rather than arguing which side things fall on i'd rather like to mention that painting every aspect of life as either 'left' or 'right' is at best a vast over-simplification of life and surrounding politics, and at worst a willful method by which to gain mind-share or allies to a cause.

it's rarely useful for any level of civil discourse; it's general usage these past few years is to inflame a side or draw a border between Them and Us.
As Ian Fleming himself wrote in one of his novels, "it reads better than it lives".
I think I have heard people criticize it quite a bit for "not caring about what happens" or "don't worry about the outcome" - which is a misunderstanding of the concept of taking control of what you can control, and accept you can't control everything.

From the article - I like this concept here.

Damore is a taboo topic, just leave it be. Discussing it will only hurt your karma, on HN and even more so out there.
'After Google employee James Damore circulated his memo that included many sexist statements about the "natural abilities" of female vs. male engineers...'

Really? Do people (who actually read the study) really think it was sexist? It stated the obvious - that there are differences in interests in men compared to women by aggregate.
To me (as a romanian) it looks like the author pulled a lot of "facts" out of his ass..

Perhaps GP is not from the US. In the UK, statistics is not separate to mathematics, and is first met in primary school (even in three-school areas more analogue to the US) getting progressively more advanced up to and through (compulsorily until sixth form - the two years prior to university) 'high school'.

I mean it is in English, so it is quite English. Yes the idiom may be common in other cultures and languages, but that would be e.g 'the Romanian phrase {Romanian language equivalent of the phrase}'
It is not implying ownership of the idiom to the English language, just that specific phrasing. Which I think we can both agree is in English, and it is a phrase.

Solving a programming problem is usually finding the right data structure, so in that sense is not surprising. Most of the time I find that the real work is simply performed by the DB, and it's not just persistence, it's mantaining state and managing communication in concurrent applications.
I'm surprised that conditional moves make much difference here. Aren't they essentially a compressed form of branch, and so still require speculation? Perhaps the fact that the code has a smaller size is what is making the difference. (Of course that's still a good outcome)

>He helped make Dogecoin in 15 minutes, at a time when people thought “launching a blockchain” was complicated.

It wasn't at that point though. Litecoin was already created by tweaking btc and I was seeing people on irc do the same for fun with ease. Launching a btc-copy with different params wasn't the big achievment he had, attaching it to the right meme and getting people into it was.
Holy smokes, $100?!?! You’re not kidding!

I’m always willing to buy technical books. I think it’s valuable to have material from different authors because they each have different perspectives and styles. E.g. CLRS vs Sedgewick vs Skiena. I also like to support the authors. However I’ll take a hard pass at this one.

My ability to level up is rarely due to the quality of the material, it’s more a function of how much time and effort into studying and learning. Time is the limiting factor in almost everything, not learning material.

In other words, learning isn’t about choosing “book A” vs “book B” but rather studying any books vs scrolling through HN, watching YouTube, or any of the other million blackholes of time.

Bane of the stock market: those who believe that a company will grow price in their projected growth expectations and will therefore always outbid those who believe that the company is well set up for stable profitability but maybe not so much for growth. In the end the company will have an ownership structure that would feel cheated by executives who don't aggressively prioritize growth over earnings and/or stability, because growth is what the current owners paid for.

Various swathes of programming benefit from being able to make use of abstractions that hide details.

e.g. embedded development is difficult, but Arduino makes starting out more accessible. Beginners are able to get an LED blinking on a development board without needing to understand all the details.

While expecting to fully comprehend all the complexities of some unfamiliar system is unreasonable, I think it's reasonable to hope for a development experience where what you need to know to be able to contribute is covered by a small surface of well-made abstractions.
If I joined the military for example, I suspect that the dominant culture and established way of doing things is just so much more powerful than I am individually, and I wouldn't really have an opportunity to affect change. That is, unless somehow I got promoted to be a general. But then to get there I also might have to do a lot of compromising things.

It seems more effective to go outside the system: e.g. for affecting change in the military, use civic action. Run for office and change the rules. This works for fighting against bad companies like weapons manufacturers and polluters too btw, since you can push legislation to shape what they do.

^ The cynical take is that everything is too locked-in-place for an individual to make a difference. But all important changes require a collective.

Going back to the original topic: if someone feels that Google as an organization of humans is broken from a values perspective (e.g. lacking systems to capture feedback from bottom up and allow that to shape decisions), the most effective way to change things is not to hopelessly try to become a C-level exec who makes those kinds of decisions. You either need to directly approach the folks in charge (e.g. a union actually helps with this, but also hopefully, if things aren't totally broken, there are internal forums that enable these kinds of interactions), or gather enough internal gravity to get their attention.

If you're in a workplace where neither seems feasible, all you can really do is leave.
