Top tips for super sandcastles: explore the weird world of sand
Used to be a midrange programmer who others thought as brilliant. It was hard to start two decades ago, but always looking for a challenge meant consistent growth for years. After five years it felt too easy, like cheating. My peers would struggle for a week with what I could deliver in an afternoon.

Seeking better opportunities I migrated to web development, and boy, it's hard to be a novice again. Everyone I worked with was better than me at everything. It's hard to feel like the impostor when you know you're the less skilled one.

Now web development doesn't pay that well, so the natural path was cybersecurity. Still learning, and I feel like this will be my last career change because it takes years to stop feeling dumb and start feeling like an impostor again.

The Making of the GTC Keynote
Tables of a static size, or small dynamically generated ones, are fairly straightforward because you just pay the entire cost of layout upfront. The layout algorithms themselves are a feature farm - CSS is complex because it supports so many ways to do things across a multitude of assets. If it's something like a game GUI, the layout can be bespoken to a particular stylistic choice and specific asset types. It's still not a trivial endeavor(headaches always abound when trying to align graphical elements in a top-down composition), but more of the programming load goes to text rendering, selection and input than layout once you drop CSS-style flexibility.

Lists and tables with both dynamic sizing and scalability requirements(think the "infinite scroll" style of presentation plus insertion and removal of elements plus nesting plus accordion folding) create all sorts of challenges in trying to amortize the processing costs. That's where layout code can get really out of hand.

However... if you opt to paginate by a fixed element count, most of the challenges go away because there's only so much layout you can fill a single screen with, and that lets you revert to brute force. At that point it's a question of "OK, how much scrolling do we need?" Scrolling itself has gained a reputation for being mostly detrimental to UX, so in terms of cost-benefit for productivity it would be one of the first things to go.

In a lot of ways frameworks create the problem for themselves by trying to do everything.

If so, why?
I suggest you read the full text or at least in part.

>choose third-party Apps or App Stores as 13 defaults for categories appropriate to the App or 14 App Store;

Categories appreciate to the app means you can set a non default browser to handle urls and a image viewer to handle images herein appropriate means that the application can handle that type of content it is not an opening for apple to decide what kinds of apps are appropriate in the normal English language definition of the word.

I don't think merely deleting the icon for an app but opening it in response to a link would meet the intent of the law but it ought to just say disable.

The biggest artificial universe, created by our smartest and most idealistic techno-utopian hippies, got subverted and then perverted into the internet of today. Now, the sort of people who did a lot of the subverting want to try again, but this time it'll be for profit and full of monetization and tracking ab initio, and I'm supposed to think it'll work out because we have AR glasses now. Yeah, that's what was missing, the glasses.
This isn't a particularly good solution as it relies on another person's goodwill, which is neither reliable nor available to everyone.

Assuming that the current geo-located situation continues, and realistically who sees that changing?, what's needed is a legal framework that explicitly allows people from different countries to access citizen-appropriate content in other parts of the world. Why should I have to jump through hoops to access a paid service like Netflix just because I happen to be located abroad for a week?

VPNs were never more than a band-aid solution to relocation problems, and truly are a terrible solution. They don't actually offer anonymity, privacy, or convenience. Their original job - tying remote people into a private network - is the only thing they're truly good at.
Isn't this a bit of a false dichotomy?

It can be *both* that git users should do a better job at trying to learn git, and that git developers should try to make the interface more user friendly.

Personally I prefer to focus on what developers can do because any change in the user interface done by one developer can potentially impact thousands, if not tens of thousands, if not millions of users.
Again, completely wrong. 100% humid 0C air is still 0C wet bulb temperature -- perfectly good for cooling you down.

Anyone have a solution for MLB.tv blackouts? I pay for MLB.tv but I can’t watch my local team because of broadcast blackouts.
Lol it is not the equivalent of 70C. Please see the other resources people have posted here about understanding wet bulb temperatures. Even a wet bulb of 35C can be tolerated by most for hours - 70C could not.

I would not leave my house. My house has insulation and thermal mass, which would delay the tempature from reaching that level until later. I could use water to cool myself, whether in the bath tub or a trashcan. I could use a fan if there's power (depends on the temperature and humidity to reach that wet bulb). I could use frozen objects (even without power, the freezer will stay cold for at least a day). I also have a generator to power these things if there's a short to medium term outage.

Their statement was not about changing one's circumstance. It was that even with precautions, it's not very survivable. This is neither accurate nor precise. It is very survivable with precautions.
Early Retirement Considerations
Brilliant. The financial hoi palloi also don’t seem to notice that their revenues are deemed income for tax purposes while for corporate persons revenue remains revenue and is untaxed. Corporate persons only pay taxes when they fail to ensure that there is no income at the end of the year. If only the rest of us could treat investments in couches and Xboxes as capital expenditures!
> So.. people are actively looking for vpns and proxies to actually pay netflix to get content, and netflix actively fights then, so they cannot get the content they (want to) pay for.

Correct. Because the contracts they have to sign to get the shows you want to watch often come with crazy regional licensing.

Which will result in them getting regulated. After being dragged before Congress over and over and being asked "why aren't you doing something about this?"

And by the way, not sure what you mean by "required by law." Does that include when corporate lawyers say "if we leave this up, we are at risk of a judge fining us (or awarding someone suing us) a billion dollars."

The law isn't crystal clear and black and white, until you end up in front of a judge or jury. The legal system in the US isn't all statutory, it is left for courts to decide based on precedent and, when there is none to draw from, higher and higher courts.

It all seems simple until you actually think about these things.
I’m not dismissive of embedded, it’s just a totally different problem set and is not the focus of this article. This article is about the pain points of integrating with the current major desktop platforms, period.

I agree we’re in a funny local minima. I agree there’s room for experimentation. But also… for a general purpose GUI toolkit, text editing is not optional. Modal windows (alerts, file open/save, as well as just drop-down/selection lists) are really not optional.

I’m also not arguing that everyone needs to do all these things from scratch. Very few people should be trying to reimplement IME. But you do need to support IME, or you are only making a toy.
The article also says:

> ... all the capabilities of reversing events can be done instead by reverting to a past snapshot and replaying the event stream. As a result reversal is never absolutely needed for functionality. However it may make a big difference to efficiency...

When I implemented undo/redo, I found that replaying from snapshots was fast enough. I wasn't working on a database-backed app though.

Implementing reversal is extra work and bug surface, so it should be subject to cost/benefit analysis.

I reckon the point of the comment was to illustrate how the article's premise is rooted in the logical fallacy you describe, and how said fallacy then results in an inability to determine whether oneself is an impostor.

I don't think that's warranted? The article reports it as a 'joint operation', you can't really deny or distance yourself much from that.

This is the second time today I've seen this suggestion on HN that the UK (/HMG) is somehow 'cosy' with Russia. It seems really off to me? At least since Salisbury, sentiment has been firmly in the other direction in both parliament and popular opinion, afaict.

Most folks don’t plan to live purely on the returns.

If the typical person works for 50 years, and you saved/invested 50% of your income for 25 years, then you’ve effectively matched both the means and the cost of living of someone making half your salary.

As a software developer, it isn’t unrealistic to plan to retire around 45, for example.
This is such a good example of the issue.

I understand there is a long running system in place, but from the point of view of a modern viewer/customer it all just looks like a mess.

Basically, there should be a place where you click on a button, pay some money and play the thing anywhere in the world.

Like even some possibly inflated/default price. Like this way you would get something from each viewer in geos where you have not actually sold the rights & nothing really says you can't rise or lower the price if you see demand or lack there of.

Anything else frankly looks like excuses to a normal viewer/customer in the year or 2021.

About a month ago, I found a toy cap gun at my parents house. Remembering how fun they were, I decided to make the World’s Largest Cap Gun. The video shows how I built it and showing it off to David Dobrik and his friends (it almost didn’t work; the video covers that too), but I wanted to highlight a few other interesting things.

- I didn’t know David Dobrik before this video and was thinking about how to contact him. I decided to make a TikTok explaining that I was building this ridiculous thing and thought he’d enjoy playing with it. It got over 4 million views and he commented on it and DMd me to figure out the details. You can view that TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@nick_ohara/video/6985282649858329861

- The biggest problem I had was trying to create the explosives. I use Armstrong’s Mixture which is a combination of potassium chlorate (found in matches) and red phosphorus (found in the striker on match boxes; my research showed you need to scrape it off). It’s pretty difficult to get raw red phosphorus, so I tried another oxidizer, sulfur. It didn’t work and I didn’t have time to scrape a bunch of match boxes. After my TikTok went viral, I only had 1 week to finish the build and ship it to him, so I was super stressed. What ended up working best was crushing up match heads then CUTTING off the striker, taping them together, and smashing it with a hammer. Realizing I could cut the striker off instead of scraping it absolutely saved me.

- I originally used springs to power the hammer to cock it back but found they weren’t reliable enough. The springs would stretch too far and would get to a point where they wouldn’t spring back. So I used latex tubing which was much more dependable.

- Shipping this beast was super expensive. I had a custom crate built by some friends who made it for free. Two day shipping was $9,000 and 5 day shipping was $1,500. I obviously opted for the 5 day shipping.

- Once we arrived in LA on Sunday night, we tested some of the explosives with a hammer. The gun was shipped to David’s house directly, so we didn’t have the luxury of testing the whole gun beforehand. I ALWAYS wear safety glasses but forgot this one time. And this one time, the explosion had some shrapnel and it got into my eye. I went to the eye doctor immediately and they cleaned it out. I was very lucky it wasn’t anything major and also that we were filming on Tuesday, so I had a day to recover.

- I highlight a lot of things that went wrong at David’s in the video. But even with all those things going poorly, David was super accommodating, understanding, and patient with us despite being stressed with other bits he was recording and editing.

- Lastly, this project was super expensive. Somewhere around $8-9k. The actual cap gun was around $2,500 (parts, tools, paint, etc), shipping was $1,500, traveling was $3,500 (Airbnb, flights for me and my two friends who filmed, rental car), and then other expenses for filming gear, food, etc.
That seems awkward. Shouldn’t the British diplomat be spying for Britain?
> They got a bonus of $20 for every question they found where their answer was more correct than the original.

> We need to put care into our systems. We need to build checklists and peer review and resilience into the way we express our carefulness.

Yes – the systems help, but proper incentives are also super important. Granted, designing a system wherein the incentives are properly aligned with the goal (and not easily manipulated; shortcuts can and will be exploited by humans and ML algorithms alike) is no easy task.

Yes, I guess I just... figured it was extremely obvious that a foreign occupation resisted by locals and a civil war or domestic insurgency are very different, largely on those categories.

The joke is that a diplomat spying on their host country on behalf of their parent country is expected behavior; it’s only awkward if you get caught. There are polite ways of dealing with that, usually by declaring them persona non grata and asking them to leave.

Spying on your host country on behalf of someone else though, that gets you arrested.
If advertisers don't want to be involved (presumably because they think it would be bad for the brand), YouTube themselves might not want to be involved for the same reasons.

You seem to be implying that YouTube themselves -- shareholders, executives, employees -- has no moral compass, but the advertisers do. And (I guess) the advertisers only do because their potential customers do.

I'd say a more likely case is that morality (or "aversion to Wild West content" or "aversion to unnecessary deaths" or whatever) is something spread fairly evenly among humans, whatever role they have.

Seems rather simplistically cynical to assume that YouTube is the only entity that doesn't actually care about anything but money.

There are ways to do it, but I wouldn’t know how nor would I share how to do it on this website if that makes sense.
This is a super interesting take and I wonder how closely this reflects Netflix's actual strategic thinking. If so it's an interesting game theory question, because the whole reason rightsholders would want this is to guarantee the value of splitting up distribution to multiple local distributors, most of whom would be well outside the realm of matching Netflix capabilities. But if those players can't match Netflix's DRM and thus rightsholders won't license to them, then all they are doing is giving Netflix is a discount for restricted rights without any additional profit.
> - He saved around +/- $30k every year,

This is pretty pedantic I suppose, but I can't resist - I assume you mean ~ (roughly) $30k? (Or of course $30k ±x, if you somehow knew.)

Saving plus or minus $30k a year is not much to brag about!
Maybe you have not actually used a good platform with good standards?
1P 6 running pretty well on last macOS makes your statement wrong.

The number of people working abroad globally is set to grow to over a hundred million in the next couple of years. I'd hardly call that niche, especially when that number looks set to continue climbing - especially when you also take into account the boom in remote work.

I'd call it pretty short-sighted to not see that as an ever increasing problem. I'd also posit that a solution wouldn't take a colossal amount of resources to solve in most cases.

The language of the article also suggests that he is suspected of spying on British sensitive data, not German sensitive data, but it's not too clear.

I assume he's not a diplomat, as, as I understand it, diplomatic immunity exists exactly so that diplomats cannot be charged with such allegations, but it is sometimes a bit murky as to what personnel of embassies exactly it extends.
