> Does that mean that it's AWS cloud that you're using? Have you considered using Cloudflare Durable Objects(DO) for infrastructure

Would love to hear an answer to this, I've read a bit about Durable Objects but not got a chance to play with them yet. I'd be really interested to hear if they evaluated fly.io as well. It seems like a great fit for their model of running full blown app servers in many regions.
My favourite assumption is that people with 200k household income are in the middle.

Mind you, that kind of belief is super common amongst people (like me) who are in the top decile of income.
I read an article, over a year ago now, that said the GM deal was nothing but upside for GM

They got cash from Nikola whether they ended up manufacturing anything for them or not, and had to put up nothing up front.
The GME nonsense was a guy posting that he bought a lot of options and why.

Then he kept posting updates
I was scrolling down the page, thinking, "this application looks great, I have wanted something to replace iTunes for years. It plays FLAC _and_ ALAC! I would love to pay money for this."

But I don't currently have a mac running anything later than Mojave, 10.14.

And the primary machine I would want to host music on can't upgrade past it (2010 Mac Pro, 12 cores, 64 GB Memory, 4GB GTX 770, 4 easily-swapple internal hard drives, all in spent under $1,000, used, parts and all - not a bad deal, would anyone agree?). Of course, I'll probably be moving it to Linux at some point after Apple gives up on 10.14.

I'm a very atypical case these days - I don't stream music, I actually buy CDs sometimes (often cheaper on Amazon shipped to your door giving you a hard copy backup and freedom vs buying the digital version they offer). I like to repair and upgrade older hardware. This kind of music player is right up my alley.

I'm not trying to complain. This is awesome. Maybe I'll buy it anyway just for whenever I get around to upgrading my macbook.
Some artists are really good at art. loved this artwork
Then just change jobs, duh. I mean, if you’re in a company where you can’t say “Look, it’s better if I skip this discussion to ship a feature”, odds are you’re wasting more time than you imagined.
Developing the engine is so much more fun though.
The parent made no such distinction. And your comment applies to just as much to backends as frontends. If a backend is "easy" to make reliable then it's probably not very interesting.
One of the NKLA board members Steve Girsky was previously a Vice Chairmen at GM and likely facilitated this deal. I think it needs to be investigated further and Mary Barra should be forced to provide the evidence of due dilligence that GM collected during the closing of the deal.
> There were phases where I was worried about going on with the project and pushing it back since I was not confident enougth if it gonna be successful. But as there is already happy ending everything now looks simple and straigthforward. And that's the issue of the most of projects. If you are working on some you never now if it gonna have happy ending at all, and for me it's really hard to push forward the motivation.

This makes me feel better and try harder.
> if the engine has a bug, I can fix it at the source

While this is probably going to be easier in something you wrote, note that it's possible in both Godot (F/LOSS) and Unreal (despite being proprietary they give you access to the source for free when you sign up).

I think he means the headlines, like this one

"Did you recognize him? Beautiful as the sun has made many women fall in love. We saw him on the Sanremo stage but now he has changed a lot"

It's so blatantly clickbaity, but also funny in a way that makes it less annoying.
Are we not going to just do booster shots as long as reasonable? Seems silly not to at least in the short term.
These aren’t related facts by any terms. Cataloguing as far right young people criticizing the cultural establishment is just a sinister way to censor independent thought. That aside almost all terrorism belongs to far left extremists, even religious extremist believe they are far left.

The extreme left needs an enemy and tries to find evidence somewhere else, they behave like conservative on the 50s did.

Making the item system polymorphic was ultimately a mistake, but that was a big one.

Q: Why was this was a mistake?

A: When you declare a class that’s a kind of item, it locks you into that structure much more tightly than if you just have member elements. It’s nice to be able to use virtual functions and that kind of thing, but the tradeoffs are just too much. I started using a “tool” item in the hierarchy, which started to get various functionality, and can now support anything from a stepladder to a beehive to a mortar (and pestle, separately, ha ha), and it just feels more flexible, and I wish every crafted item in the game were under that umbrella.

We do a lot of procedural generation, and if we wanted to, say, generate an item that acts partially like one thing and partially like another, it’s just way harder to do that when you are locked down in a class hierarchy.

Preach:

No, Musk had literally nothing to do with the name, just a continuation of his myth as anything more than a guy with a lot of money.
Also, most people only read headlines. There has been so much FUD in the news about Tesla and Musk. If you’re not following things closely, watching all his interviews, etc, then it’s easy to believe what you read in sensationalized clickbait headlines
The way out is to focus on the game. Only build up the engine to the point the game needs it to be built. The bulk of your focus should be on game logic, even when you take writing the engine into account.

Granted, I haven't finished my game this way, but the engine isn't really the bottleneck. It's deciding on, and implementing, appropriate behaviors, often for silly, fiddly corner cases.
Lovely cover here, recommended by Ron Gilbert himself: https://youtu.be/qUMKy2Jk3Oo
Awesome! I just started working through this too.
I strongly disagree with that categorization. "Grinding and collecting" has been the entire gameplay loop, since the beginning of WoW. Grind quests, so you can level up. Then grind dungeons to get some gear. Then grind Heroic dungeons to get better gear. Then grind raids to get better gear. Then grind Heroic raids to get even better gear. These days, you then grind Mythic raids to get the best gear. Then you find out it's not actually the best gear, and grind some random dungeon or PvP to get a trinket with a weird effect on it. And then by that time, the expansion is usually over, and the new one has a new set of more powerful gear, so you're back to square 1.

The phases change based on the expansion, but the core gameplay loop has always been "grind to get better gear, so you have to access to harder content that drops even better gear". There's precious little to do on a character that is max level and has cleared the highest tier of raid (kudos to those who pull it off, they aren't easy).

The monetization thing is largely Activision, or at least the degree of it is. Iirc, Blizzard dipped their toes into that water first by offering pets that you could buy or were rewards for buying Overwatch, etc. Activision did crank that knob up to 11 though.
A lot of the times the part of the backend that renders pages and handles user input can be assumed to be part of the frontend, I'm not talking about those. I meant backend as an API.

I honestly think you've never built a decent sized, non-trivial mobile app for example, and you probably have no idea how tedious and difficult it is to produce something that will be pleasant for the users to deal with.

Controversial opinion: this is the system working. These spammy affiliate link sites work well enough that Google lists them, people use them, and bicycles get sold. It isn't globally optimal, but it's locally optimal given a culture where online users refuse to pay for content.

It's probably at least partly a 'you had to be there' situation to remember how popular, globally, that band was back in the 70's. The fact that they weren't from the US or UK made them stand out even more.

It will still have your name and face on it, and they will still stick it in an optical scanner when you hand it over to them for use, and the scan will still get stolen from an unprotected S3 bucket with millions of others.
It's a lie. I just checked.
I had the... pleasure of meeting M4 while working on GNU Bison (a grammar parser generator): after parsing the grammar, it calls M4 to generate the parser (in C, C++, Java, D or other), defining some variables.

So you get a giant c/c++ file with a parser implementation made of M4 definitions, C preprocessor definitions, includes of generated (lookup tables) or user-written (custom parsing actions) files, and it's absolute hell to debug :D
The Crucial First Steps to Build a Successful Tech Startup
That subreddit is just a scapegoat. There are so many other places people are looking for the next big return.

Also you can short dog companies still. But if there are to many people shorting it, like GME had, you do run this risk. That's not any internet forum's fault.

That said, it can be really hard to make money betting on stocks to go down. I believe it was Care.com where people were putting out similar reports of how terrible the company was & the horrific incidents happening. In the first half of 2018 you had articles pointing out all these issues. It's stock kept going up around 30% before it finally crashed in the beginning of 2020.

Of course it is only fair to also call out all the quality companies where short investor companies try to keep the price down for ages or publish BS to profit off shorts. That was a big thing for those who were happy to short squeeze during GME.
Going bankrupt on a hospital bill isn't freedom, either.
Did the cgroup names change randomly in the middle of the examples? It changes from "child" to "demo" between

After that good article, and that great lead up, we don't find out who is #15.

Definitely a fascinating field of study, we haven't even begun to understand. From mating, to enemy forming, to bullying, addiction, food analysis, sleeping, etc., there are so many potential topics to understand, depending on our research into smells.
Nice. Hopefully that will lead to some nice runtime performance improvements.

Very likely it's just no contractors dealing with it.

I read up on it when we did electronics for concrete mixers.

The chemistry of foam concrete is a very inexact science, bordering on being "possible to get right through talent only"

Very little literature on it, and proprietary foaming agents all come from Eastern Europe with zero info, or instructions beyond "mix this stuff with water 100:1, and pray"
Imagine the number and quality of textbooks you could commission from world experts in any and all languages for $300M, a single year at 20:1 price-to-earnings.

Is the app obviously better? More engaging, to some, perhaps. More profitable? I guess that remains to be seen.
Well but Tesla is still calling their drive assist autopilot and Musk has at multiple times in the past said full independent driving is just around the corner and all these "around the corner" dates have past and there still is not fully independent autopilot.

So yes there is a difference in scale, but not in principle I would say. Musk is also lying (I don't believe that by now he still believes we will have unassisted autopilot next year) to keep the stock price high.
>Or more probably: someone was so busy trying to use AI in searches that no they haven't had time the last ten years to consider if it was smart.

Or maybe Google started applying "We know better than the users", the driving principle behind their software and libraries, to their search.

It was definitely a joke and it was in line with the humor of the game. The game broke the fourth wall all the time. One of the characters told you to buy the game Loom. The troll on the bridge was George Lucas with a troll mask on. They had a ton of anachronistic elements like soda vending machines in the age of piracy. At the end of the game Guybrush reveals that he learned to never pay more than 20 bucks for a video game.
You joke but why not? Uber operating just to break even seems like a great endgame.

Ridesharing services simply existing and being available has completely changed transportation for me. My family went down to one car because it’s cheaper to just get an Uber occasionally. And I no longer rent cars when I travel.
> Can you imagine that perhaps there are factors that make a man killing and torturing a man different from a man killing and torturing a woman?

Sure, there's even a name for that kind of factors: sexism. That's the reason pay gap is a problem that is talked about but life expectancy gap isn't.

Feminism was supposed to fix sexism not to reinforce it, though.

> that is just a silly distraction

Well, yes, in the end it's just art critique. But even that should be a topic that you can discuss without being labeled as chauvinist the moment you disagree.
"There’s no good faith in limiting housing."

Nope. You can not convince me that statement is always true.

This looks awesome.

I'm a fan of electronic music (house, trance, drum and bass, EDM...) and consume the majority of my music these days via podcasts put out by various DJs/producers.

I've often felt that people like me are not catered for very well with the current crop of apps. There are no "music focussed" podcast apps (at least that I'm aware of) and since Apple pulled podcasts out of iTunes back in the day, my music listening experience feels very siloed. I go to Apple Music for albums, and go to whatever my current flavour of podcast app is for the latest DJ mixes.

So... question to the developer - have you considered incorporating podcasts into this app? Specifically music-focussed ones... I'd love to have an alternative to Apple's Podcasts apps (which I dislike, but haven't found anything better at least on Mac).

On my iPhone I used Overcast specifically to organise and listen to my music/mix podcasts, and PocketCasts for all other non-music based podcasts. (I listen to a LOT of podcasts, so putting all the music ones in a separate app helps me keep things organised).
Kodak is a terrible example. That company had a long decline into irrelevance. Big companies have been doing that forever.

These kinds of scams are a stochastic process. They don't work on your average person, they only work on vulnerable people. Heres the catch though, everyone is vulnerable at some point in their lives. This is where the stochastic process comes in, they don't need to get you when you're strong, they just need to test enough people enough times to catch them in a vulnerable moment.
Good question!

There are still a lot of specialized editors that are not text-based nor collaborative yet.

In the creative space, we can imagine 3D collaborative editors (think Figma but for 3D). Here is an example built with liveblocks: https://liveblocks.io/examples/3d-shoe-builder

Filling a form can also be a collaborative experience: https://liveblocks.io/examples/collaborative-logo-builder

Building a form can also be a collaborative experience! Think Typeform editor with multi-player features.

All the no-code tools could benefit from multi-players feature. Any "data entry" could be collaborative.

For example, we're working with https://cloverapp.co/ to improve their collaborative features (live cursors on whiteboard and live avatars).

I hope it answers your question

Backends also need to design/build for their operators.
Depending on what device you're reverse-engineering, the random integers can be:

* Hard-coded encryption keys

* Hard-coded IP addresses (remember, IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long, which is convenient for many embedded CPUs and even some MCUs)

* Hard-coded (instead of random) hash salts

...and generally all manner of things that shouldn't have been hard-coded. That's not to say all constants are bad, but I can see 0xFF000000 and know it's probably just an uninteresting bitmask, then see 0x22C1211E, and maybe with some training (I can't do it by sight alone, for sure) see that it's an IP address in AWS address space.

Adoption of the online ID function has been incredibly slow. I haven't had a need for it yet. Some online banks allow you to open an account using it. You can also file taxes with it. Most applications require a NFC reader of some kind. But there is also an official app for iOS and Android which can be used to read the ID with your smartphone.

There is an online portal where you can read more about it:

Not to pressure but having open/save buttons (implementable either as upload/download Javascript shims) would be interesting.

I actually agree, I just think libertarian right wing is a mischaracterization, and I think it matters because the stereotype of the tech nerd is the atlas shrugged-toting libertarian, but HN doesn't really match that stereotype most of the time, I think.

Anecdotally, in my community the norm around driving home after a night out changed from "be careful and don't get caught" to "why are you even considering that? I'm going to call you an uber, right now" over the span of about a year. Driving home at the end of the night had always been kind of a guilty normal, but it turned out that people were completely willing to take drunk driving more seriously as soon as they had some practical way of getting out and going back home again without using their own car.
Corruption is usually systematic, and it doesn't take that much one way or the other.

And yes, it's helpful to have indemnity clauses especially in a corrupt system, because it becomes easier to negotiate within the system, and politically.
