It was pretty clear why they dropped them, which is most people hated it (while a few very much loved them). I loved my Steam Controller but right now I'm using mostly my Xbox controller for PC.

The Wii U was a failure, but I feel (and I guess the sales can confirm that) that Nintendo learned from their mistakes.
Isnt using Windows on this thing going to be an awful experience, though?
That will work fantastically well if the goal is to reduce the number of reported ransomware cases.
The Link hardware just wasn't necessary anymore once the software became good enough to run on any device as an app. I have Stream Link on my TV as an app now.
Make it strict liability? ie. if you paid for a "consultant" and it just so happens that he paid off the ransomware operators without your knowledge, you'll still be liable

This is a really interesting approach. How would you layer CI logic on top of this? Given your example workspace josh file,

dependencies = :/modules:[
::tools/
::library1/
]

how are the canonical build artifacts for, say, ::library1/ determined, and how are they presented to the workspace?

I understand that the partial repo layering is the key innovation that exists a layer below what I'm talking about, but I'm trying to understand how you can ergonomically layer never-build-twice logic on top of it.
I would love if it was possible to just track general industry sentiment over the same time period. As someone who was working at another big tech company nearly over the same duration he was at Google, I myself noticed it became "less fun and exciting" to be in tech within that large company. However, some of that is undoubtedly just a part of getting older and becoming less naive about the world.

It's trivial to make Bitcoin untraceable. See tumblers.

I think people also have this strange idea that the bitcoin ledger must represent all bitcoin transactions. But think for a minute that I can just email you a wallet and the coins just changed hands without putting anything on the ledger.

The problem is the entire thing will be compromised. Exchange, SharePoint, clients, servers, domain controllers, etc. That's what happens to monocultures. You must have diversity at every level (OS, DB, network, apps, etc.)

Yes, it is more difficult to manage a diverse environment, but when you survive the next big ransomware attack you'll see why it's so important (while your competition struggles to recover).

This holds true for crops, people, animals, financial investing and everything else. Diversity makes us strong and resilient. Monocultures make us weak.

Monocultures are easier to manage, audit and predict, but their weaknesses outweigh those benefits IMPO.
Ideally we shouldn't want the military dependant on private corporations but there really isn't any other way to do it. It is way cheaper to outsource the work to a third party that is designed to efficiently do the exact work you need. Same thing goes for other non-military organizations like NASA, a lot of the actual fabrication and manufacture of parts is outsourced to private companies.
One thought and one bug

Thought:
While I appreciate the stuff around child dependents, it feels very weird and tacked on.

Sure sticking an expense called “child” works if you don’t already have kids, but if you do, those costs are inextricably integrated with your existing lifestyle costs. I can’t easily estimate how much my grocery budget will go down if I remove the food my kids eat. Even if I could, I’m certainly didn’t think about removing my kids from the expense calculations at step 1, when dependents get added later, because I didn’t think it would ask me that.

A better solution would be something that discounted expenses after some date. Similarly, you could always bump up the expenses at some date if you don’t already have kids.

Bug:
I think the net worth chart is a bit busted. Mine started at 0, but that wasn’t obviously wasn’t true. While the growth line looked reasonable, I think the chart needs to be pushed up by an offset.
> Gigawatts and gigawatt hours are just different magnitude units for the same quantities, like meters and millimeters.

I liken it more to distance vs speed. Power, like speed, is a rate, in particular the instantaneous rate at which energy is transferred.

Expressed using the same scheme we use for speed (distance per time : power per time), power is watt-hours per hour (or 0.0036 megajoules per hour).

I'm guessing we express power differently because James Watt codified the standard unit for power and the standard for electrical energy came from the time-integral of his definition of power.
Bitcoin seems highly resistant to centralized control; I suspect attempts to outlaw it would be easily thwarted.
Not sure what the connection is between YOLOv4 and difficulty of detection? Isn't YOLOv4 about object detection? No matter how good your object detection is, you need to read the game and influence the input which is the part an anticheat is trying to detect, no?

You can convert to bitcoin within minutes and withdraw as local Fiat at ATMs in any country, or spend it directly with thousands of online retailers.

There's a utility app on macOS that I've used for years called Shush < https://mizage.com/shush/ > that provides a global mic toggle (double tap to invert toggle to speak/mute).

Very nice because it works at OS level and is same no matter which app I'm using.
Because the US military has no manufacturing capability.

From coffee cups to routers to tanks, jetfighters, and satellites. Everything is designed and manufactured (to spec) by private industry.

You want to find a protein that has X structure (since structure determines function to a degree).

If AlphaFold is substantially more accurate at solving proteins, it can mean that drug discovery is faster, assays are faster, etc. etc.

The "unexpected problems" would be caught in the assay stage.

> I'd love if someone still working there were to write a nice post about that system, it was the first of such a kind I saw.

I don't know how far back you saw the Bloomberg system, but at this point it's basically the same as the Debian system (as in, debian/ subdirectories, .deb files, etc.). Versions of git projects are published as tarballs (source packages). Then sets of published projects are "promoted" and all projects that transitively depend on them are rebuilt and unit tested in a sandbox environment. If that process fails, the promotion fails.

Each source package can use any number of build systems, implementation languages, or project structures.

There's also a legacy subversion monorepo with a monolithic build system that builds on top of that, but it's slowly being phased out.

All that is an integration build including thousands of discrete projects. Those projects typically have additional CI/CD enrollments outside of the integration build system too.
I didn't read the paper, and have only an undergraduate math background, but it seems to me that for sufficiently large n, n + 1 = n. Vague justifications related to limits.

My interest in Rust doesn't have anything particularly to do with Lisp. I'm interested in programming languages in general, for their own sake, and I consider Rust's experiments in type-supported safety and resource-management to be interesting.

In some respects, it's sort of the opposite of what I like in a programming language, particularly in that it's a batch-compiled language with a reputation for long compile times. Still, I'm interested in its approach to safety and resource management.
The protein folding problem is not NP complete. The "formal" protein folding problem, as posed (find the set of dihedral angles whose resulting structure has the lowest energy) might be, but that bears only a distant resemblance to how people "solve" the problem today. At the very least, the statement is incorrect because many proteins don't actually fold to their energy minimum, they get stuck in kinetic traps, and the formal PF defintion never accomodated that idea.

That's assuming the games are writing to the SD cards and not the SSD though, right?

It's only lying if you copy and paste the HN comment without following the last instruction:

Obviously if there's no reason for them to work overtime, you won't be able to find a reason for them to work overtime, but then instead of asking, you should... not ask.
Apple's "retina displays" aren't mapped to any specific PPI number. It depends on typical viewing distance for the device it's on (e.g. an iPhone would need a higher PPI to be "retina" than an iMac which would sit further from your face)

So for a device like this you'd probably compare it to an iPad. The latest one is 264 according to a quick Google search.

That's not to say this thing's display is bad by any means, but it's worth noting.
Value is personal first. Art is a way of reflecting the world and finding yourself.

Value in the eyes of the masses has nothing to do with arts. Money, fame and success are not the motivational driver behind the process of artistic endeavour.

I paint because I love painting, creating and experimenting.

Everything else is secondary.

Years ago, I stopped my professional painting career over pressure generated by my success.

People don’t realize that some things have deep personal value and meaning outside the socially acceptable models and cannot be measured with monetary values.

This article is sentimental clickbait.

Everything about these storage projects is available as public records from the CPUC, down to the site plan drawings.
If the USB C port supports USB 4 or Thunderbolt, that would definitely be doable
Only thing this and Steam OS is missing is native support for software like Easy Anti-Cheat. Because EAC explicitly refuses to work on wine (proton), it's impossible to run a huge number of AAA multiplayer games. I know Value probably cannot do much on it's own here though.
This is an excellent read[1]. It reminded me of the process I went through putting together an FFT engine in an FPGA although I think the small execution engine is just stellar, and not something I had considered.

>Countdown until this thing is EOL?

I feel this device is too "on the nose" for what PC enthusiasts want. Its a Nomad, not an iPod. Its a Game Gear, not a Gameboy. Enthusiasts will just shrug at its lackluster performance and tiny screen vs just paying a bit more for a gaming laptop or desktop with several times the performance.

I also don't like the idea that if you want to play many popular games, especially those beholden to anti-cheat systems, you have to run Windows and now you have to go through the hassle of buying a Windows license and installing it on this machine. A lot of kids might be disappointed when their parents buy this and they find out they can only play stuff that works on Linux and that stuff may not include the big AAA shooters they want to play (mostly due to anti-cheat being windows only). Worse, Win10 costs $120, which is a pricey upgrade for a device that starts at $399.

I think its often in technology that the customer doesn't know what they actually want. They don't actually know how to ask to be surprised or what that surprise might be, afterall its a surprise! So they just ask for slightly better or tinier versions of the things they already own, which may or may not be the right answer.

Products that actually get successful tend to surprise and break expectations and introduce new concepts. This device just seems like its not doing any of that, but on paper its what PC enthusiasts claim they want, but I'm guessing won't actually buy. I don't know what its EOL will be, but its definitely going to be a super-super niche device, at bit like how Android tablets with things like full size USB slots were seen as potential iPad killers just a few years ago, but failed to get any real marketshare. You can still get an Android tablet, but its just a lackluster device compared to the competition and super-super niche. This device may also have a very long life as potential ammunition against Microsoft trying to seal off Windows from gaming again. It'll always be in production even as a loss because its so politically and economically important to Valve to be able to keep MS from locking them out with the MS store.
I dont know much about protein folding, but for most things in life,exact solutions to NPC problems usually aren't needed for non-contrived problems. In many cases, approximations are good enough.

Besides, this is real life - if predictions and real life match, that's great. If they don't, well you know you went wrong somewhere.
The implicit assumption you are making is that the demand increases in lock step with productivity gains.
100x faster drug discovery, 100x more drugs need to be discovered => same number of people employed.

These correlations do hold for technical fields, but logically there should be a point beyond which productivity gains outpace, demand growth / demand could even stop growing. One should either retool to solve a newer problem before this point is reached, or hope that the point is not reached in the span of their career.

Oil rig builders for example - manufacturing has been increasingly automated, but the demand for oil rig building has grown consistently. But they should probably look into solving other problems given that demand is shifting.
I find that in reading your example, if I imagine myself as person A, I might start to get really annoyed. When I read "I agree it's good to go to bed early, but I don't want to" I feel suspicious that you agree it's good to go to bed early. When I read "I see how you might feel that way, but I don't want to" I feel lots of pain arise from past "I'm sorry if you feel that way" kinds of responses. When I read "I appreciate you caring for my appearance, but I don't want to" I start to doubt whether you appreciate that I care for your appearance. I guess the overall pattern is that sometimes when I sense someone's emotions underneath and they don't say them first, I'm often not listening/trusting what they say about me first, waiting for the grand reveal of the bad news.

That all being said, I can imagine it might work in standing firm on your ground and doing what you want to do. I just wonder the impact it has on the other person and how that might influence how they respond to you then or in the future.

I think when someone repeats the same thing over and over to me I can also feel that pain, maybe it's the "because I said so" re-emerging from my childhood that used to drive me so crazy.

Lastly, when I read "stay calm and friendly" and "calmly state your opinion" I imagine that, especially in conflict scenarios like this, I wouldn't be able to do so. When someone guilt trips me, I feel guilty and sometimes telling myself to "stay calm" doesn't work at all, because I feel even more guilty/frustrated.

Are you able to stay calm in the 1st and 2nd steps? And if so, how?

I tried to restrict my post to just set theory because this philosophical point is often hard for people to grasp.
This is an amusing example. I'd guess that car enthusiasts are aware of Sonoma for various reasons. I suspect they'd get some exposure to California wine inadvertently through that connection.
A very-non-expert opinion, if an approach approximates it pretty well and can be improved upon, then it could end up being quite useful. Given that biology exists on a real, tangible scale then perfection in the fold prediction isn't necessary, instead just an approximation that is sufficiently good to be functionally useful.

^ That sounds like word-salad BS but I think there's some truth to it. I know protein folding has been postulated to be useful in terms of understanding basic biology, understanding disease pathology, and drug prediction. While a wide range of approximations are functionally useless, perhaps the Alphafold approach or some improved version of it surpasses the functionally useful threshold.

At least I hope so
this is a really interesting way to think about it and something that I've given a fair amount of thought to as we embark on a data mesh journey - how does a domain team serve up a schema like an API, how does it evolve, and how do we think about versions.
That doesn’t work because we’re assuming that most marketers are making easy mistakes. The playbook is so simple that people on HN could write it, supposedly.

It's more accurate to say it hadn't really come alive yet.

But still as late as 96, 97, 98 you could still find job postings advertising for Smalltalk developers. I know, because early-20s me really wanted to do be doing that, but I wasn't qualified.

Within a few years Smalltalk had vanished from the few industry pockets it had, and was replaced by Java in most cases.

I take issue with him telling individuals to accrue debt to acquire Bitcoin (companies I have less of an issue taking debt on). That's also the least reasonable part of the interview though. I think overall he makes a lot of good points as to why Bitcoin makes sense in the majority of the interview. However, I'm not one of those crypto people that only looks at one side of this. Yes, sometimes ridiculous things are suggested, but there is some good to this technology, too.
> I disagree, I think it is. I don't see what right of anyone is infringed by my exercise of speech.

Go threaten to murder someone in front of a police offer and then see if your theory holds.
Not really an answer to your question, but is the problem really NP-complete, or just combinatorially difficult? For example how is this condition of NP-completeness satisfied?

Regarding changing the way they communicate, I think some of it is just a natural filter that gets applied to people who move up. At some point, you notice that the people who move up the management chain are more "diplomatic" and don't really reveal what they actually think, at least not in public. They toe the company line.

People who are too candid can't be controlled and can't be trusted to do what may be in the company's best interests. If you don't agree with toeing the company line, you either leave or aren't promoted. At some point, a company needs its management to move in lock-step, otherwise it can't predictably meet its goals.
This is the most interesting part to me:

> On Steam Deck, your games run on a different operating system than the one on your desktop PC. It's a new version of SteamOS, built with Steam Deck in mind and optimized for a handheld gaming experience. It comes with Proton, a compatibility layer that makes it possible to run your games without any porting work needed from developers. For Deck, we're vastly improving Proton's game compatibility and support for anti-cheat solutions by working directly with the vendors.

Of course, it doesn't magically make every Win 10 game run on Linux without issue. Your favorite games may not even work, but it does make most games playable. More info: https://www.protondb.com/
