What you don't understand is that if you hate life, and perhaps if you have money and comforts that you know should help... but you still are miserable, it feels hopeless.

The money traps you. It's so hard to imagine taking a huge pay cut. But that pay cut, and living life the way you want, is more important.

Hating most of your hours each day until you're 45 or 50 and then retiring will leave you such a different and sad person that retirement won't be joyful.

The problem with a human life is that we can only know intimately what we experience. It's so difficult to really know how the other choices would have been (for us). I'm probably not in the financial situation as the quant, but I know the feeling. If I could tell the college me advice, it would have been to do the music degree instead of compsci.

My family has all worked very hard until retirement, and then the lack of income made them hyper sensitive to spending anything. "Never spend your capital; live off the interest." So you die with a few million in the bank. Now you don't want to spend your last 10 or 20 years poor and hungry, but there must be a middle ground.
There's a bit of handwaving and the the video admits $90 is just a gut estimate.

However, I think they did try to account for things like that: they started with an estimate games should cost $225-$300 before accounting for larger audience size.

Larger market size and efficiencies like reusable game engines are balanced by increased productions costs. The first versions of Final Fantasy just had text captions in 2D. Now they are in full 3D with fully acted voice actors.

IANAL and have no affiliations to Plaid. My takeaway from the article and [0] is that Plaid violated privacy laws because they provided insufficient disclosure with respect to the collected data, not that they are selling data to third parties.

Slack was also my first. Amazed to see Pat still at it given all the time that's passed. I'm curious to know how many out there still use slack? I can't say I have in a solid 15-20 years.
I love that the website is the same design as when I first discovered Slackware in 1999 https://web.archive.org/web/19991117022152/http://slackware....
My Journey on Developing a Custom Android Auto App
Being employed or running a business (or being in school, in a sports team etc.) also means you're part of the general actively synchronised life. Might sound fuzzy but it boils down to being in touch with society around you. Then again, there is plenty of society all over the world where that means working strange hours, strange jobs, or not at all.
These design services are getting gross. Reinforces the age old design stereotype of a support based model churning out production work. I know there is a market for everything — and good designers need not worry — but really makes ya think about the value we place on people. Carry on and good luck satisfying a customer base that wants something for nothing.
It's not actually rational, let alone long-term optimal, to act as though there is a predator behind every bush given a 1% (in reality it's probably a couple of orders of magnitude less likely, but we'll ignore that). If you need water and head for the local watering hole, avoiding bushes will most likely result in you not getting water since bushes tend to grow where there is water. I may be 1% likely to get eaten by something hiding behind the bush but I am 100% likely to die if I don't drink water.

Avoidance of all possible risk is a recipe for paralysis. Part of being rational is evaluation of risks vs rewards as well as recognizing the dangers of unintended consequences and the fact that nearly all meaningful decisions are made with incomplete information and time limits.

Its just security theater as a theft deterrent. The idea is that if you see a screen with a green box around your face then you believe that they've got a good look at you and if you steal then they can use the images.

Walmart isn't investing money building networked cameras with the processing ability to perform facial recognition at scale in real time. It'd probably cost more money than paying employees to just watch people at the store exits.
If the whole setup actually does make money this seems like a decent tax minimisation scheme for crypto mining.

The kids have two "blank" incomes you can sink money into, and if you needed to put some money aside for them anyway...

In that case, you need an article like this to prove to IRS that it's really "them" because an alert tax officer will also be extremely skeptical about this operation.
This is really cool! I found Zero-K very good in some areas and very disappointing in others, particularly the scale (or lack thereof).

SupCom is great, but it has its own issues....
> That's almost exactly what my Honda does. Illegal (no signal) lane change results in a steering wheel shaker (and optional audio alert). And the car, when sensing an abrupt swerve which is interpreted as the vehicle leaving the roadway, attempts to correct that via steering and brake inputs.

By the way, this is fucking terrifying when you first encounter it in a rental car on a dark road with poor lane markings while just trying to get to your hotel after a five hour flight.

I didn't encounter an obvious wheel shaker, but this psychotic car was just yanking the wheel in different directions as I was trying to merge onto a highway.

Must be what a malfunctioning MCAS felt like in a 737 MAX, but thankfully without the hundreds of pounds of hydraulic force.
Based on the phone number in your bio you appear to be based in chicago, is there a reason you are so worried about gov tracking but put your real name and phone number in your bio?

This just seems like all incredibly inconvenient as a training exercise but I can't think of real reason someone on hn would do this only to make it very easy to ID them in other ways.

It does take some serious skill to construct something like FISR that works and is efficient, but not easily understood.

Writing crappy code is indeed are more widely available skill ;-)
No, those things are not a complexity of C. They're just complex to implement at a lower level. They're complicated in any language, often, if approached at the level C provides. You have to hand-hold the machine through it. A C-like implementation of linked lists in an array of memory using pointers, for example, looks just as bad if written in that way in unsafe {} Rust, or even some mutating thing in Haskell. You can do that if you want, but you don't have to. Those languages allow you to abstract that away very quickly (often already pre-abstracted for you with default approaches). That's what people mean when they say C is simple. Plain and simple. Minimal. You have to do much of the heavy lifting.
Going to push back a little here. The two of you are miles ahead of most of the world (and your own country) in income and education. You'll be able to retire likely decades before the rest of us slobs. In the meantime, find some awesome hobbies, you can certainly afford it. Learn some fun and difficult shit, get really good at it, rinse and repeat. Your job doesn't have to have meaning, just enjoy your life; you're set up to enjoy it a lot more than most. If you can't find any fulfillment outside of work, then good luck.

The scale on Zero-K is much smaller, sadly. My favorite aspect of TA was thousands of units on thousand-square kilometer maps
Interesting, didn't know that as I don't use gmail myself. Thank you!
in response to the video's message - I get that $60 in 2006 inflated to $80 today. And that development costs have gone up rapidly (so have sales IIRC but I know that's not evenly-distributed).

Might the move to digital distribution, even if not complete yet, already be giving publishers substantially increased profits per unit sold?

A decade ago, an article suggested publishers made $27 on a $60 physical game, and the platform holder a $7 royalty[1]. With digital, retailers lose out and no longer get a cut, cost of goods is reduced, and returns go away.

With a $60 digital game, don't Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo/Steam all charge a 30% platform fee for infrastructure/store costs and their profit? They'd take $18 (+157%) and leave $42 for the publisher (+55%) (edit:math). Is that the extent of the pie or is it divided more?

Multiplayer still requires a $60/year fee on console systems too, correct? And all the extra and ongoing costs mentioned in the parent post are unlikely to go away with increased base price, right? I don't mean to be skeptical but feel we're going to see some price increases (beyond gaming too) just because businesses can.

Well, browsers do a very sensible thing of attempting to anything that is a valid domain names. For everything else, including undelegated (and therefore unresolvable) top-level domains get passed on as search queries. Forwarding as much traffic to search engines is how they make money, after all. If you don’t like it, stick to valid domains.
The problem is with clipboard access is because apps abuse it not because it's a problem that have read access at all. Google Maps pulling my clipboard which has an address in it as the top suggestion for destinations is a good thing and respect the user's time.
If you find a solution, yes
The rich may not penny pinch..but they are already rich. It's a logical fallacy to assume a correlation.

What would be really interesting is to trace their spending behavior while they weren't rich.
Facebook claimed repeatedly that they had never sold user data, and it turns out this was true: Instead, they had bartered user data for increased access or other privileges elsewhere.

I'd like to hear a broader statement on the specific phrasing in this article: « the fintech firm passed on personal banking data to third party firms without user consent ».
Have you talked to your partner, and what does he say? He seems the main reason you are stuck in London, but maybe it doesn't even have to be that way?

You could think about ways to do most of your work remotely.
Jenny, is that you?
AFAIK it's not, reading the clipboard requires an explicit "paste" command triggered by the user or an explicitly granted permission.
i should probably clarify.

what i meant to say was, that in modern routers, IPv4 and IPv6 theoretical routing table size can be the same. There is no difference in terms of maximum routes in the routing table between both protocols.
Interesting. I initially denied the permission, but Tiktok seemed to not be able to make any Internet requests. The kind of behavior I would expect if DNS didn’t work anymore.

Maybe it’s just as innocent as this, but OTOH, it’s tiktok we’re talking about.
I will, quite literally, take those old video cards off your hands. I have a hoarder mentality when it comes to old tech and love collecting it.

My family watched Miracle on 34th Street a couple years ago. Aside from being generally impressed with how well it's aged, I was particularly impressed with the office technology on display (pneumatic tubes etc).

In Victorian London, mail could be posted up to 12 times per day.[1] That's about as often as e-mail can be turned around.

Bronze Age merchants exchanged clay tablets with remarkable throughput.[2]

On the consumer side...

I live in Silicon Valley. My grandparents had better access to services than I do — fresh milk delivery, an MD that came to their bedside, and an electric trolley — in the 1930s in a town of 12k ppl. My grandfather was a driver for a laundry service, my grandmother taught piano. [3]

But maybe the most fundamental issue here is that productivity is 'measured' by dividing GDP by hours worked. But work seems better characterized as a mechanism that distributes, rather than creates, GDP.[4]

Interview with General Magic co-founder and visionary Marc Porat
There's something amazing/odd/horrifying about a world where it is generally no longer cheaper to do anything yourself.

I love to bake and cook. I can do so fairly frugally.

A supermarket frozen pie is still gonna be cheaper than anything I can make, especially if I count my time.

It's a benefit and goal of the modern global industrialized supply chain, but I cannot help feel that making me work a full time job to buy cheap things means we don't put enough economic value on people making things themselves.

Then again, I like not having to mine my own lithium, copper, etc. to get a computer.
That sentence was the beginning of many red flags with the article. Looks like the father wants a nice little story for his kids' college admission essay, if anything.

It also looks like the article was at least partially written by someone else. It seems weird that the journalist would state something like:

> They have 14 rigs comprising 82 processors mining for Ethereum and five small rigs with 12 processors mining for Raven Coin (because those processors weren’t optimized for Ethereum).
Pokemon Go started asking for this back in March with an update. I don't think it was ever figured out why it would want access, and it's certainly not for Chromecast/Roku/AppleTV.
But, does it run systemd?

This message also fits.
Congrats on the launch, the vision to create something different, to lead with Mac, to base it on WebKit, and to charge for it. Not many companies dare do that.

My first advice will be to market this as a productivity tool and not a browser. This is much closer in nature to something like Sidekick or Workona vs something like Safari. Writing a browser from scratch (even if you have a good rendering engine for 'free') is unbelievably hard and you probably do not want to go down that rabbit hole. On the other hand working next on features like calendar integration and meeting invite scheduling seem to be more 'in character'.

Even if focused on productivity, you will still need to provide many browser-like functionality like syncing across all devices including iOS, iPadOS and Android (because the paying user may have Mac Desktop and an Android phone, and they would expect they can pick up same work where they left it on all their devices). These three apps alone will be monumental underataking because getting productivity on mobile right is much harder and your 'killer' feature - keyboard shorcuts - is already DOA.

Second advice is to summon your initial vision and keep it by your side all the time. What is the main reason you decided to build this? Focus on this. Read all the comments and advice you get, but stay true to the real reason you are building this.

And third, hoping to raise additional money so you can see the vision come through is not a good position to be in. Are you ready to execute on it even if you don't raise additional round? These things may take years to mature.

Good luck!

Man I use to buy slackware cd's from walnut creek back in the day, dialup wasn't fast enough to get the latest version.

https://archive.org/details/walnutcreekcdrom old cdrom.com

Think I went from slackware to mandrake to fedora/suse then ubuntu(lts)/suse(tumbleweed), to now just Ubuntu(lts) due to ppa's and google/nvidia docker/drivers dev work.

For the servers I'm ditching centos7(eol) for amazon linux 2 now that they support on premise deploys for free. AL3 is unknown at the moment for support... I did for a short time use FreeBSD for servers back in the buffer overflow attacks on Linux when doing my self hosting, but that was 20+ years ago.

Fun Memories and no idea what the future will be. Even Debian is pretty damn good now, but Ubuntu has more polish but Debian has more packages and a better install. IMHO.
Only...

(1) There are a million different ROCm pages and introductions

(2) Even that page is out-of-date, and e.g. claims unofficial support for "GFX8 GPUs: Polaris 11 chips, such as on the AMD Radeon RX 570 and Radeon Pro WX 4100," although those were randomly disabled after ROCm 3.5.1.

... if you have a Ph.D in AMD productology, you might be able to figure it out. If it's merely in computer science, math, or engineering, you're SOL.

There are now unofficial guides to downgrading to 3.5.1, only 3.5.1 doesn't work with many modern frameworks, and you land in a version incompatibility mess.

These aren't old cards either.

Half-decent engineer time is worth $350/hour, all in (benefits, overhead, etc.). Once you've spent a week futzing with AMD's mess, you're behind by the cost of ten NVidia A4000 cards which Just Work.

As a footnote, I suspect in the long term, small purchases will be worth more than the supercomputing megacontracts. GPGPU is wildly underutilized right now. That's mostly a gap of software, standards, and support. If we can get that right, every computer have many teraflops of computing power, even for stupid video chat filters and whatnot.
Respectfully disagree. A language that fails to adequately provide safeguards to a user is a complex language because it forces all the complexity of dealing with the underlying machine onto the user. These are things a user needs to know to be effective in the language, which in turn makes using the language complex. It's a deceptively simple language.

C is complex because of what it doesn't do, not what it does. That's IMO worse.
In addition to Thinking, Fast and Slow, I'd recommend Annie Duke's Thinking in Bets. It builds on literature such as Thinking, Fast and Slow to discuss the separation of decisions and results. Specifically, thanks to luck, the quality of the decision is not always represented by the quality of the result. And in order to learn, one has to be able to recognize good and bad decisions regardless of results.

This seems to be a pretty good overview:

Switch jobs and get a 5 to 10% increase, and keep doing it for a while, this way you will retire earlier and the excitement and optimism of the new job will keep you going for the first year at least.

Persue an alternative that you find interesting and learn how to make a living out of it.

You can create a small SaaS company on some niche, freelance remotely, get creative and learn how to invest, maybe invest a little bit in crypto, take what you have an invest in real estate buy a studio and rent it and start making some extra income.

Make a plan, there has got to be a way.

Look around you, do you see anyone over 45? This means they all figured out an alternative, so with time, so will you, but don't make the mistake of thinking that you are "trapped", you have a lot of alternatives and choices.
Oh, yeah, THIS was a huge one. As well as just how construction/payment worked in general. This thing costs you X metal, and this factory can deliver metal at a rate of x/sec... but if you throw in all these helper units, you can up that. Very interesting and unique twist.

You also didn't have to pay up front when queuing things, like you say with the opportunity to blow past your income, so your cash flow was the counter-balancing production speed limiter, but not in a way where you had to be constantly watching that bank account dollar amount before clicking "build."
How does a human detect a big ass truck with its lights off at night? This is solvable with computer vision. Tesla's dataset is almost nothing but edge cases, and they keep adding more all the time. My money says they'll get there.
That wasn't a matter-of-fact statement—it was an us-vs.them swipe drawing a line ("western culture") which itself is already provocative in this context.

Also, please don't ignore the other ways in which you broke the site guidelines with your post.
History books may use rhetoric and formulate expressions as if «populations made choices». But since really populations do not make choices, one should avoid throwing in one's mind abstractions before translation to the literal truthful statements, for mental hygiene.

It was not the European population to put presence in the MONA, not Richard's brother, who even voted against, to cause brexit: they are not responsible.

Surely history will act with stochastic determinism, creating maybe an aura that one may romantically depict "as if responsibility" - but in a future wave of damages involving the real Tom and Dick, they will most probably be innocent. What they could have done to prevent facts is minimal. Let us just be careful in spreading slogans that weaker minds may take literally - it would be an damage against a very real mental collectivity, more and more people seeing the false instead of the truth, using bad intellectual keys with collective consequences.

In fact, the chief thing one is responsible for in these matters, is the ongoing effort towards cultivation and refined intellectual discrimination and judgement. Little, or much less, can be done for the neighbour - surely let us not pollute his mind.

Again on the specific point:

responsibility means that somebody should respond with consequence to some event, in fairness and justice.

-- Officer Greene is a policeman. He may kill an innocent in action. He is responsible. In case of incident, he will be investigated, there may be consequences on his career, reputation, freedom etc. That "Officer Greene is responsible" is true and meaningful, makes sense, to an easy interpretation of the statement.

-- The team of Mr. Browne organizes business continuity in an office. They are responsible. In case of incident, they will act and be judged for it, as their good or bad work prevents or causes losses etc. That "Mr. Browne's team is responsible" is true and meaningful to an easy interpretation of the statement.

-- If one stated that "the people are responsible for the action of the elected", an interpretation should be provided that makes the statement true and meaningful. Good luck with it, if anyone wanted to tackle it - I do not see it easy, nor possible.
I would use something like pandas or dplyr (Python and R libraries respectively). But that's for answering specific questions like finding duplicates, missing values, overlapping columns etc. - in my experience there's usually some more specific question to answer than just diffing in a general sense.

> Employees are payed based upon market rate. No one pays you based upon value.

Really depends on how much value one can provide.
But the individual tool itself? It takes a bunch of inputs, does some processing on them, and spits out a bunch of outputs. That doesn't feel like a good fit for procedural to you?

I guess what I'm saying is that the complete input state of the program is known the moment you hit enter.

As opposed to a GUI where a user could flip a switch at any point during the program's lifetime and mess with its internal state, which feels like it maps better to OOP.
