> Japan went from feudal backwater to major global power in 80 years, and it completed that transformation 80 years ago

Japan achieved this by looking to countries like England as an example and becoming an imperialist and colonizing parts of Southeast Asia - kicking out some of the European countries who held those colonies in the process.

So yea they did the same thing to get wealthy - stealing resources.
This is a good question, and, frankly, the hardest part of our business. We do the work of mapping data, understanding the corner cases, and implementing translations that yield the same results. This is easier when vendors work with us, since they help us with that mapping (and in some cases make changes to their product in order to accommodate.)

That said, if your new platform simply doesn't support the old features, then there isn't much we can do, except for provide you a backup of the original data.

We think that end-users ultimately want a choice in the vendors they use. Our mission is to facilitate that, and if a user wants to move to a new platform then they'll ultimately find a way to do it.

To that end, we see ourselves as a "Switzerland", much like Plaid and Zapier are able to integrate across many competing products. We don't think we'd stand in the way of companies creating new features. If they want to be able to onboard users from competing platforms, then we think we can make that easier!

Happy to chat about it, HN, since otherwise I'd just be playing more Genshin Impact.

My capsule review of the game nobody asked for: if you like Breath of the Wild, you'll likely enjoy it a lot. It is not as pure of an exploration game at BotW is, and the emergent game mechanics that made BotW such a joy, a toy which produced its own unique stories with every player, are mostly absent. The exploration doesn't tie in closely with the plot like it does in BotW.

But, other than that, it's an extremely, extremely effective game. Excellent art and music design; the graphics compare favorably to anything I've ever seen in an AAA game if you like this anime-inspired visual style.

I find the combat similar to single-player WoW with more interesting strategic choices (regarding party comp, etc) and less interesting tactical choices. Harder encounters are fun puzzles to solve.

While the actual story in the game is nothing we haven't seen done better before, the character interactions are an extremely interesting Chinese take on Chinese/Japanese/Western fantasy tropes. Someone could get an East Asian Studies thesis out of it fairly easily. It's amusing to "read" with that cultural commentary lens on; the localization is also surprisingly well done (including both English and Japanese, to the extent you credit me with being able to perceive that).

The metagame about how to progress as quickly as possible, and where to invest your resources / how to harvest them efficiently, also pushes my buttons very effectively.
Does anyone have experience using something like Obsidian as a sort of lab manual for software engineering? How do you structure your notes? What gets written down? I use Obsidian and the note of the day plugin which uses a template that has a todo list and a Recap section in which I intended to summarize the work I did that day and any comments worth writing down. I used the todo list part daily but I've struggled to consistently write the recap. I think it's too vague; I'm looking for a little more structure that makes recaping the day easier and manageable. When I try to write a recap currently, it can feel overwhelming as I try to think what I should and shouldn't write, and how I should or shouldn't write it.
Many employment contracts prohibit doing additional contract dev work. I agree the spirit of contract to hire is great, but worth noting it won't work for everyone.
Capcoms pc ports have always been… I remember my dmc3 that didn’t work at all (maybe a fan patch helped?), and the frame pacing in re4 on pc giving my wife and I migraines… or dmc5 deleting my save file… or re2 remake requiring 2 year old drivers to avoid crashes… I have friends who have issues with the street fighters on pc as well. That’s just off the top of my head.

Maybe? Let's get some definitions: Who counts as a journalist/reporter? Who should we be respecting?

Of course "person who writes articles published in print news" is going away. But is the guy writing a well researched piece for Vox not a journalist?

It just seems like we have more everything, both signal and noise, and that's the issue. We wanted to democratize information, and we got it. Surprise, most people don't put out very good information. But at least we have a lot of it...
I'm curious what you see as the reason that putting everything behind multiple layers of nat can't work? It seems to me like it has worked pretty well so far, and we're nowhere close to running out of (ip, port, ip, port) tuples.
I agree with both viewpoints in certain ways, a lot of times visualization surfaces issues that would otherwise go unnoticed but I think the important point is that being able to drill down is important for context.
The UK has been estimating their percentage of population with antibodies which includes both people who were infected and vaccinated. Scroll to Figure 1 for the charts, but before vaccination their levels in the different regions (England, Scotland, NI, Wales) were <20%.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...

To me I think that it's kind of surprising how low the percentages are.
Exactly. Because nobody should ever use their dev skills to build up their understanding of a tool by recreating some aspect of it.
Similar to ObjC reference counting? (Not sure, I don't use ObjC and am not an expert in it, it just reminds me of what I've heard of it, so honest question).

I've deleted down to that one friend who I can't contact any other way (literally no phone), and my wife. I am much less tempted to scroll (waste time) now that I have 1,386 less friends.

You would think the algorithms would maybe try to keep me on the platform at this point but no, I now see almost exclusively ads on the rare occasion I do look through (I still look at the marketplace).
Possibly, but at some point it has to stop, right? Take the extreme example of working 4 hours, one day a week. If you are even marginally interested in what you’re doing, I can’t imagine anyone feeling burned out by that. I just don’t know what the threshold is (and it’s certainly different for different people). A lot of it probably has to do with how busy people’s lives are outside of work, and if they feel like they’re able to manage their lives at least somewhat stress free.
With all due respect, why not mind your own business and respect their decision?

Your vaccine protects you so what are you worried about?
Most tech are not needed anyways. The tech I like and would miss are just the following:

Automatic headlights and wipers on my car.

> Help them coordinate less - more explicitly, less often.

This would hurt during the exploring phase of development by eliminating frequent small iterative increments towards the ideal architecture/implementation.
I like to consider what it would look like if a programming language forbade floating point literals from containing inexact values. This means that a literal like `0.1` would be disallowed, and you would instead be forced to write out the literal as the exact nearest representable value `13421773e-27`. Profoundly awful for usability, but at least nobody could ever claim to be surprised that floating point values are imprecise. :P

How do you explain the existence of the Republic of Ireland then?

It was definitely colonised, lost all it's forests for the navies of the Empire, and yet is actually pretty rich today (although we still have a lot of post-colonial syndrome, to be fair).
Agree. I wonder why this mindless rant even made it to the frontpage.
Mixture of things: cost, convenience, variety. You gotta understand that the majority of dept stores in Britain offered high prices, poor quality, and low variety. They were also inconvenient as you couldn't park your car in the lot outside the store. British authority has this obsession of trying to keep your car as inconvenient to you as possible to force you onto public transport. But public aren't having that so since the 90s the rise of the retail park has occurred.

Retail parks offer parking outside like strip malls and stores offer cheaper prices than the likes of BHS. Basically as somebody else said supermarkets and the new dept stores. Also, variety online means you can finally find what you want and not have to make do with the near equivalent in model at a high price in a dept store.

A lot of these dept stores only existed in Britain due to the limited selection. They'd have died a long time ago if the internet was a thing back then. I didn't ever shop in BHS so can't say I'd ever see the loss myself.

Yes. Certainly a challenge for most immigrant communities. Plenty of opportunity outside of the African diaspora
I do, yes, and I ask my team to do the same. Even in software development it's very helpful. It helps the team stay in sync more, reducing the need to meet. It helps me stay in sync from yesterday me to today me as well. It avoids duplicated work as well. I consider doing this part of professionalism 101 at this point.

Walmart has already purchased the items they're selling in their stores - in most situations.

That's how distributers work - They purchase an order of items up front and then sell them at a price point of their choosing.

Not to mention - In the walmart case, the user is free to go shop at safeway/publix/kroger/target/etc if they want. Where as with Apple you can only shop at the company store.
Congrats on putting politics ahead of your family?
In eastern europe it's pretty simple. The collapse of the soviet union left a strong education system and also poverty. Learning to program is one of the most straightforward and doable ways to a good income, so lots of people do it.

Israel is probably a knock-on effect of that, since most (jewish) israelis are (or descend from) eastern european migrants.
That the majority of a 20 million strong diaspora are running a business is pretty surprising if it is true.

Wonder what the consequences would be if spread(BTCNGN) < spread(USDNGN), where NGN is the Nigerian Naira as an example.
I'm laughing, because Rust solves all of this and is a simple and easy language to learn. No GC, ref counts when you want or need them, and manual memory management that is a breeze and proven at compile time. I hate even saying this because I get the feeling it scares away newbies that think these concepts are hard.

I already write web services in Rust. It's no more difficult than Java or Python.

I can't wait for the ecosystem to heat up more, because it'll make it compelling to switch to Rust at work.
See the paper mentioned by @grafelic
I wonder if external-only payment as part of a "confirm your account" step would be permitted with this change? i.e.

- user downloads Netflix wanting to sign up

- user enters their email address, ticking a box to confirm they consent to being contacted in order to complete their account setup

- the email contains a link to the sign-up form on netflix.com, including the payment form

While it's absolutely absurd to still have to jump through so many hoops, this would be a significant improvement over the current situation which has a "Sign In" button and nothing else.
if everyone does it, labor will become more scarse, and wages should go back up too to recover the some or all of missing 1/5, so please everyone do this!

> My wife complains that none of the devices in our house work, and she’s right

My wife is quite happy with her LineageOS phone. Its battery lasts days and days, though it's from 2014. She has not much trouble with LibreOffice, either running on her Ubuntu laptop or our common Slackware desktop (multi-user computer, that's Unix for you baby!). She happily uses jit.si for her meetings. My nextcloud works just fine; I stream music in my car from it (thanks to Ultrasonic from F-Droid repo), and use it extensively to share documents and pictures with my friends (Netxcloud links work just as well as Dropbox links), and of course to centralize all pictures from my wife's phone and mine into our common computer, automatically.
don't your links directly contradict the article that was posted?
The article states infection from COVID seems to produce better immunity than the vaccines.
Exactly, people are 'diversifying' their ETH etc into NFTs.

I do not believe anyone is spending millions of actual hard-earned cash on these digital works, let alone just the NFT, which amounts to a 'digital autograph'.
Note that the article was talking about the spike protein. I believe natural immunity also can target parts of SARS-CoV-19 that are not part of the spike protein.

In that sense vaccines are more focused, but the focus is on a part of the virus that is critical for getting into cells. There are limits to how far the spike protein can mutate and still do its job and the vaccine immunity covers a large part of that space.
Not a lawyer, but my business doesn't sound like a identifiable natural person...
>Its as much work to use a garbage collector efficiently as it is to allocate and delete your own memory.

Typically I just use weak references or weak reference sets/dicts/whatever. That's python for you though.

I presume you mean it's just as hard in some specific language, not just as hard in general.
As usual, software engineers are special snowflakes.

Plenty of jobs have on-call: nurses, firefighters, doctors, police.

They should and do compensate differently for that requirement.

But this is no way a peculiarity.

Very poetic. But is there any truth to this or is it just poor journalism?
I can't downvote you but I'm sure you will very soon because this kind of idiotic and misogynistic comment is something that doesn't belong here, or anywhere really.

If you think that an effort of hundreds of scientist and dozens of scientific institutions that took many years to bring us an unprecedented image of the universe was hyped or staged to make a single woman scientist insta-famous, you have largely misread the large majority of people that read hackernews.

There's something here between the lines I think I empathize with. That there's been a cultural shift from the tinkerer PC ethos, with decentralized vendors, respect for being "open" (whether open source or standard). This way of thinking seemed to be the default for those of us brought up into computing in the 80s up until the mid 2000s. Even on Microsoft products, the Evil Empire of these times, the amount of customizability and range of hardware and software supported in Windows shows how baked in these assumptions were.

Of course, the average user struggled during these times given the endlessly complexity and configurability of technology. A lot of work with tech required someone speaking technobabble to get everything to work -- Someone like the old SNL sketch "Nick Burns, Your Company's Computer Guy" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25J3u3P-HHg).

Users don't care about the idealism behind the original PC movement, maybe to their detriment. They just want it to work. Those of us getting in the way to espouse ideal of open source this and that just seem to be getting in their way of the thing that "just works" regardless of what MegaCorp they have to turn their personal lives over to.
Land is not some large problem in Sweden, relatively it is a not dense country and can fit more people if needing. Better to say that demand for housing in urban areas is very inelastic. You are right that there are problems with building being slow and expensive but removing rent control make the paying off time for an investment shorter, more attractive to build houseing.
I cut my teeth on openSUSE years and years ago and haven't been back in a while. Maybe ill spin one up in a VM and see how it works.

You can thank large backbone providers for this. IPv6 works just fine over the same L2 link as IPv4, so there would never need to be any more hops than IPv4 (sometimes they do need to upgrade equipment to support IPv6 so they may be DIFFERENT hops over DIFFERENT L2 links, but they could also move their IPv4 traffic to that new equipment).

What happens is when the large backbone providers have disputes, the de-peer with each other IPv6, which causes rerouting to be visible. They can't "punish" the other with IPv4 depeering, since that would make their own customers angry.
> Many own the home, they can sell it to anyone, including people who want to own it as a residence.

Which, in terms of the rental market, is the exact same thing as that person long-term renting the unit.

> Underperforming buildings also get razed by developers.

... And in this town, when that happens, they get replaced by buildings containing more units. You may have seen a few cranes here and there on the city skyline.
I did significant on call time, with significant life interruptions as a young man, and I felt fairly compensated by stock options... which paid off. If they ended up worthless, or if I'd been asked to do significant on call once my kids arrived, then I'd feel different.

In short: it depends.

Relo - renters insurance that pays your rent. We are happy to announce that we just launch our rent insurance funnel. Now anyone can get a rent default protection quote. What is rent default protection? Every month, millions of tenants default on their rent payment for all sorts of reasons.

As an avid Genshin Impact player, I think this style of game needs to be heavily regulated. Besides endless grinding for slightly better random stats on a few items, there is little endgame progression possible outside of rolling for new characters in the "gatcha", and the prices are insanely high!

I find that this setup generates a compulsion in me to spend money for "one more roll". And while I've never been to a real casino, this resembles accounts of gambling addiction. At a minimum, these games should be rated 18+. There's no way it's healthy for kids to be exposed to mechanics that amount to unregulated gambling before they've even developed some modicum of self control.
Remember when us liberals were worried about the religious right imposing their beliefs on us? I remember that.

Developers aren’t impressed with Apple’s App Store changes
There’s a convergence of consumer and business here. Even a home owned and leased out in a country of origin drives demand for services that aren’t offered by today’s financial institutions. Also, as you suggest, many immigrants export cars and other physical products home to subsidize their salary where they now reside.
Valid question, but anecdotally, travelling often in the third world, 4G is always available, even when the whole neighborhood goes dark. Most homes use 4G routers (with a battery, basically a headless phone with a hotspot) for internet, for this reason.
