I launch my MVP last month. I can't agree more with you.

1. Tech debts. The coder inside my just to write better code. And writing better code is satisfying.

2. After launch, I become more of a marketer than an engineer. Being a marketer is less enjoyable than being an engineer. I secretly know this before launch.

3. Alternative for income. Yes, I have another side project, whose users calling for more features. I can't help spending time on that project.

Thanks so much for clarifying this.

edit: what truly prompt me to launch is the death of my mom, which reminded me I have waited too long to do important things.
Intel's i series processors.

An i3 from 10 years ago is not the same as an i3 today. Trying to figure out what your buying is not fun.
Directly contradicted by the data I linked for other countries. In the US, pandemic (expected to be temporary) job losses with extended unemployment, cash grants, and other special programs like the eviction moratorium are not comparable to normal job losses. We know, for example, that the financial situation of the middle class has improved in 2020. And the lack of increase in other crimes also points to other reasons.
Yep. AES will run fine on any of these machines. These machines are in practice still sort of usable with SSH, with some patience for login depending on protocol.

I deleted the post because I was a bit too aggressive, but apparently the damage was done. I apologize for lecturing you like a prat.
I think in this instance the owner of the printer, the NSA, is very happy with this feature.
This general idea is called a revenue neutral carbon tax: ex https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2019/07/revenue-neutral-c...
Sure, but it wasn't a shareable meme that could go viral. I'm referring to the comment about it passing the sniff test, my belief is it doesn't pass the sniff test because the concept of it being "6 corporations" is a decade old. And, as you suggest, perhaps much older.. I'm referring to when it was popularized as only 6.

Personally, I think it's naive to blame some exact set of companies... but in reality I never would've thought about it until someone pointed out how severe the consolidating was, and in plain sight.
We use watchman with our Go apps: https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html

It's straightforward to use but also has a ton of options so you can do whatever you want with it. It also handles common issues you'll run into when working with larger codebases where you end up watching over too many files. And finally, it has configuration files so you can have the same setup as the rest of the engineers on your team.

More importantly, it's actively maintained and has been out for a while, and it's not specific to Go apps: you can use it for anything you want to watch and execute on.
Excuse me, I am quite aware of the scope of NASA's programs. Perhaps you are unaware of the politicking that's surrounded the space program since its inception and the longstanding history of NASA as a pork funnel.

None of that is a disparagement of the scientific research NASA does. But for congress, the value is a way to send money home.
Tsundoku, a favorite addition to my vocabulary. I learned it here on HN sometime in the past two years or so. I identify strongly with the meaning of the word as did my father although I doubt he ever knew the word.
I've come around to the idea that we should put excise taxes on the sale of new cars that use fossil fuels and use the revenue to help working class people replace their existing gasoline cars with electric[1]. The idea is help people do what you want them to do instead of apply the rubber hose.

[1] One way to think about that is you force people buying new cars to be carbon neutral by paying to retire existing cars.
> I think company founders are often great, idealistic people. People who genuinely want to make the world better.

I used to think like that, but I now think that's a skewed view of the world that I used so that I could feel better about it.

I don't have any doubts that some founders "genuinely want to make the world better", but I now believe that they are just the minority. Most founders are just after the fame and money—some are even adept at putting on a facade so that you would happily give them money. There is nothing wrong with that, it's just not the world that I would like to live in.
I've seen this trend in other places too:

For example, Microsoft routinely deletes negative feedback from GitHub issue for vs code.
NSW also employed the Fixated Persons Unit (a terrorist task force) to arrest a journalist who was critical of John "Pork" Barilaro. So far, there's been no word from the "Law Enforcement Conduct Commission" on whether the arrest was lawful (hint: it wasn't) and nobody has been punished for it (yet - there is the defamation case on-going but the terrorist task force isn't involved in it)
I quit at exactly the same time, but from Starcraft 2. I think many corporations do this, but with Blizzard it was particularly egregious. I also pin some blame on the CCP, which is a power-at-all-costs machine, rather than a profit driven one. For me, Blizzard was on a disappointing but tolerable money grabbing path before Blitzchung.
But whose job is it to investigate misconduct by these Comissions?
you know what else is wasting electricity? the whole financial system. I'm gonna bet you real bitcoin that they waste way more. Also guess what? They close at 5PM and during weekends. So there is that.

The energy consumption and the high prices of GPU comes down to capitalism and freedom of choice. Who are you to decide on what we should spend energy on and what we should not spend energy on? If an activity yields more money that it consumes (even if it's in the form of an electrical bill) people are going to do that activity.
> Does anyone know why this happens?

Oh it's easy to explain. Steve Jobs said it best [1]. He talks about innovation at Pepsi being a new bottle. That's what Activision Blizzard is. They have a "monopoly" with their key franchises, most notably CoD and WoW. They just release a new "bottle" every 1-2 years.

Game studios are a bit like a large film studio. They don't like the creative process. It's too unpredictable. They want a formula to produce content that can be predicted, projected and tracked.

Here's another key point: everything you do as a company either adds to or subtracts from your brand value.

For example: Square Enix giving discounted subscriptions and a general mea culpa around the original FF14 release, brand value add. Blizzard adding micro-transactions to classic TBC? That's nothing more than the short-term extraction of brand value into money.

It's a bit like delivering pizza. You're trading long term car depreciation and maintenance for short-term cash.

>>>I doubt there is anyone in any minority group who feels mocked by greater representation.

I'll have my (future) sons watching old James Bond and Indiana Jones movies before I ever show them most of the crap that Hollywood shovels to us as black males. A strong white character is a better role model than a weak black one.

My coworker is mixed Jamaican/ Italian and a staunch Catholic. He and his black/Hawaiian wife homeschool their sons (both early teens I think). He shared his difficulty with finding media content for them to consume that isn't heavily laden with homosexuality, especially in the black male characters. I suggested he introduce them to ST: TNG, Babylon 5, and ST:DS9. Worf, Geordi, Sisko, and Dr. Baxter are all useful role models. Those were positive and inspirational black characters.

This sort of content is nowhere near as popular or desired as the bubble-dwellers in LA/Atlanta/SF/NYC seem to think it is. One might retort "why does someone else's representation negatively impact you?" IMO, the answer should be obvious. Amplifying the "edge cases" of representation colors the expectations and perceptions of community outsiders who don't necessarily understand that they are not indicative of the majority. Wealthy drug-dealer rappers are a tiny fraction of the black male community, but walk into any nightclub in Asia and SOMEBODY will look at you askance and question why you don't dress like 50 Cent. I don't sell cocaine but that media representation of someone who does impacts how others interact with me. How long before I'm dealing with women asking me "Why don't you wear lip gloss, sparkles, and a dress like those other black men I see on TV/Instagram?"

So yeah this stuff feels like they are mocking us, and no representation would be better than representation of this sort. Malcom X was right (and his quote below is my favorite one to drop into HN discussions).

Eh, Barely. Saying Dune is about drugs is like saying Back to the Future was about plutonium. It’s more of a plot element that facilitates the novel’s themes. It’s a resource that shapes the world and gives the characters something to compete over and control.

The story revolves around spice but it’s not ABOUT spice.

In any case, it still doesn’t strike me as the kind of fictional drug that’s calling out for restrictions. It’s depiction can be mild enough to circumvent an unwanted movie rating and still not compromise the story.

Narcotics featured heavily in Batman Begins and that movie still had a PG-13. Again, I don’t see what about Dune’s story is crying out for an R rating in order to be true to the story.
I dont use Chrome except on some websites that dont work well with Firefox (some bank and government websites).

The notion of a carbon tax being revenue neutral is pretty widespread, in fact I think most carbon taxes are designed that way.

It's not that inflation was impossible. It's that periods of inflation were offset by periods of grinding deflation depressions.
Yeah I wonder how much safer we actually get when someone who's only criminal contact is with the FBI/Police, eg a 'terrorist' who only ever talked to, planned with, and bought for the police about or for their planned attack. Sure they probably didn't entrap them technically but it feels like it accomplishes very little except keeping people afraid and justifying the careers of agents.

I use eBay as a buyer and a seller. I do not use them often, largely because the reasons specified above.

Example.

Several years ago, I purchased a pair of Lucky Brand jeans. Same cut as what I already had, in the same size. Seller provided dimensions; I thought they would fit because I already had those pants.

They arrived three days later. They did not fit.

Seller would not honor a return. PayPal sided with the seller. I was out $35. I’m actually still pissed that that happened, five years ago, and it was only over $35!

On Amazon, I would’ve returned them in three taps and a drive to Whole Foods.

Should I have looked at the item more carefully? Sure. But the point here is that this transaction would have been significantly easier on Amazon _and_ I would have just bought a different pair of pants right after that.
My cursory look for some evidence suggests single mothers see dramatically elevated rates of violence and abuse. This source surveys children who live with both parents and just one. Children living with just one are seven times as likely to have witnessed someone hitting their mother in the past year than children living with both parents. I take that to mean that the increase in single motherhood means there is more domestic abuse happening than if no such increase had taken place.

>Today it's almost 79. That's a nearly 50% increase.

What about the quality of life? We know that people are getting sicker at a younger age, and if we consider that in addition to the ever increasing cost of the treatments, it does not appear to be a net positive.
If I'm doing anything that requires this type of tool, I wouldn't want to just obfuscate the code, I'd want it completely removed it altered.

Hermes is far from a small JS engine (and is not really similar to QuickJS at all).

Duktape, Espruino and JerryScript are way closer examples (both in size and spirit).
I've been complaining about human spaceflight on the Internets for 35 years, I think I've got the politicking down.
You're thinking of the debugger - the default Microbug that was built-in was pretty much only useful for printing or writing memory (or typing G FINDER into it, causing the front app to crash and bringing you back to the Finder if the app was hung).

Macsbug[0] which was an optional install was much more feature-rich, but it was still just a debugger and not actually a command line environment.

>We just saw multiple vaccines get developed and deployed in record time

But can you show me the exact breakthrough that came by this pouring of resources into the research, and that enabled such vaccines, by removing blockers that blocked such vaccines for decades?
Funny because a friend of mine had his kid pulled over for rolling through a stop sign, the cop saw smoking paraphernalia in the center console (weed is not legal here), just told them "keep that stuff out of sight, boys" and gave them a warning for the stop sign.
You can look it up online.

Xbox Series X and S Manufacturer: Flextronics and Foxconn

Nintendo Switch Manufacturer: Foxconn

Sony Manufacturer: PlayStation 5 In-house (my mistake on them). PlayStation 3 and 4 were both made by Foxconn assisting.

But it also applies to others:

Google Pixel 5 Manufacturer: Foxconn

Kindle Manufacturer: Foxconn (Fire Tablets are made in Hong Kong by Quanta due to AOSP Anti-Fork rules)

Nintendo DS Manufacturer: Foxconn

Modern Nokia / HMD Global Devices Manufacturer: Foxconn

Xbox 360 Manufacturer: Foxconn

AMD Threadripper TR4 Socket Manufacturer: Foxconn

And so on. Apple, Foxconn. Because almost everybody uses Foxconn.

So when you see those articles about "Apple factory suicide nets," calling it the whole tech industry's contract manufacturer of choice would have been more apt.
This seems highly inefficient - why give money to random people (many of them non-US citizens) when you don’t have to? Here is a much cheaper plan which grants US a lot of control over bitcoins:

- Some US government agency publishes “bad bitcoin address” list - this is initially a list of addresses of clearly evil people, like ransomware attackers.

- The new law is passed, requiring all US-based bitcoin firms to refuse any transactions that derive, in whole or in part, from “bad bitcoin” list. And KYC laws require passing identities of people who use “bad bitcoins” to FBI. All exchanges have to follow that rule or be fined.

- This will kill things like mixers (who wants a part of “bad bitcoin”), anonymous exchanges (if you receive money from stranger and it was “bad bitcoin”, FBI will visit you if it ever touches a legal exchange. Not a very pleasant situation).

- This will be US only, but it will propagate to other countries. Let’s say you are in Russia, and you are accepting bitcoins. At some moment in the future, you may want to buy a new iPhone using all those coins. But if they are on “bad bitcoin” list, you won’t be able to do so! So it makes a fill economic sense to refuse bad bitcoins, or maybe accept them at a heavy discount.

- Big players, such as investment funds or major payment processors, are almost unaffected. After all, only 0.001% of bitcoins are bad, and losing a few potential customers due to regulations is common in financial industry.

- Eventually everyone gets used to “bad bitcoin” system, and the US starts putting more addresses in it. “Terrorist activities”, “embargoed countries” and so on.

And that’s how US can get a fair amount of control over bitcoins, and without having to buy entire thing out!
This is also way it is powerful. It used to be impossible for Mozilla to inspect the bug if they can't reproduce it themselves and consistently. But with the new profiler, you can screenshot the moments it bugs out either on reporter's computer or dev's. Makes the bug you used to be impossible to debug possible to debug.
Yeah, Walmart, Target, and basically any large reseller is excellent when they have the inventory in their warehouse. Once you use them for drop-ship (which they aren’t transparent about…at all), orders will get dicey. The arrive by date is an estimation that assumes that their last-mile logistics pans out.
Nope. Nintendo DS was made at Foxconn. Nintendo 3DS was also made at Foxconn. The Wii was made at Foxconn. And Nintendo Switch is made at Foxconn.

It's worth mentioning that the "Big Mac index" only works as a comparison tool in some countries.

In my country, before the Euro was adopted in 2015, a Big Mac was the same price as the rest of Europe, which for the purchasing power here was a lot of money. McDonalds was seen as a luxury, only for tourists and the middle class who wanted to show off their wealth.

For the same price or often less, you could go out to pretty much any other restaurant in the city and get lunch. Even now there are still a one or two places I know where you can lunch for less than a Big Mac meal (maybe without drinks), but we've had a lot of inflation since the Euro was adopted, so nowadays the McDonalds meal is usually cheaper, and no longer considered a luxury.
I wonder if changing the background of your printout to 100% yellow would defeat this. The BBC article insinuates there are other schemes that are lesser-known than the dots, though.

The specs for the laptop you’re interested in are pretty close to the ones for the Acer Nitro 5 (2020 model, Intel i5 10300H processor, NVIDIA HTX 1650 with 4 GB RAM). I wrote about it here:

https://www.globalnerdy.com/2021/07/29/buying-a-used-laptop-...

I’ve had it only a few days, but I’m enjoying it. It runs circles around my previous Windows laptop (my work-issued machine is a MacBook Pro), my trusty ThinkPad T430 with 16GB RAM, especially since I used my Amazon points to bump the RAM up to the maximum 32 GB. I’ve been using it to build Android and Flutter mobile apps, learning Unity, Spring Boot/Kotlin web applications, and some Jupyter Notebook work. It also does a lovely job of playing GTA V.
I gotta say, if you always read "elites" as being Jewish, then you're not just a priori ruling out any sort of class analysis, you're missing how antisemitic many of the non-Jewish elites actually are!
Apart from civil rights concerns another problem is the possibility for a terrorist to get away from them. If you get some guys together and convince them to do some terrorist plot and give them the plans and maybe some of the tools - how possible is it that some number of them actually perpetrate a crime as a result and kill or hurt some innocent person?
Not sure why you are getting downvoted, but you are are right. I belong to one of those diverse groups and I find it insulting to say the least. It seems like the least effort to tick the checkbox. The character doesnt have to be my color for me to relate to him/her
I don't believe everyone thinks anything, but I've met a hell of a lot of people for whom conspiracy theorizing is a kind of black hole: once they fall in from one direction, they start buying into a variety of theories more fundamentally wacky than the original thing that got them into it.
No OEM tests their ADAS for a billion miles before release. It's a level 2 system that requires human attention, not a 100% self driving level 5 system. Ford claims they'll release their new adas, Blue Cruise, when they reach 500,000 miles of testing. (doubt it was that much for their current co-pilot 360) Openpilot so far has 50 million miles.

I think safety has already been proven, and I don't think that's preventing widespread adoption at all. It's not like most people even know about this product. It's currently being purposely kept down-low in order to only attract a certain type of tech savvy person who is more likely contribute to the project in some way (pull requests, bug reports) or at a type of person who at least won't need heavy hand holding. A large mainstream consumer audience for a dev kit is too much for them to handle, and would just be a distraction.
But air pollution's impact on cognition is a well-studied topic. See e.g: https://www.pnas.org/content/115/37/9193, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019701862..., and especially https://jech.bmj.com/content/64/3/223.short: "Although results were not statistically significant, the associations found between exposure to NO2 and cognitive functions suggest that traffic-related air pollution may have an adverse effect on neurodevelopment, especially early in life, even at low exposure levels." In other words, air pollution makes you dumb and being male and dumb makes you more prone to commit crime. I find no reason not to believe that this may be a significant factor.
Ooo, I like that. So I'm newer to JS, but this suggests chaining from promises isn't possible, and that's effectively the change you've written?
Why is it even possible to “charge [someone] as an adult”. If you have the concept of “adult” and “child”, and a line in between them, how can the crime dictate someone’s mental maturity?

(Of course the answer is, I’m sure, is selective enforcement. So they can lock up black kids and let white kids off the hook.)
For publishing, color management was also a huge thing - at the time Apple's ColorSync [1993] was vital to getting your display, local proof printer, and the printing press all color calibrated together. Adobe developed a Windows version but it was never as well-integrated/supported.
It is quite simple. To distractions.
