Venture backed or publicly traded media companies are pretty much doomed to go bad after a while. They start out offering a useful service but once the pressure of eternal growth comes they are are forced to do shadier and shadier things. There is just no way around it. The only thing that could work is a private company like Craigslist that is OK with relatively steady profits without needing to grow. But in today’s environment it probably would be very hard to start something like Craigslist, succeed and stay independent.

I keep a journal, because otherwise I tend to forget or minimize much of what I've done. It helps me remember the big things when it comes time for performance reviews, and it also helps me remember the small things with accurate sprint retrospectives. Spending several hours per week fighting with environments, retrofitting code to ancient dependencies, and investigating build failures that turn out to be local to one person's laptop are time sucks that need to be called out in retrospectives so that people understand the potential value of paying down technical debt. Those things are also exactly what I tend to forget about by the end of the week.

My journal consists of a notebook with a new note for each day, titled with the date for easy sorting. I copy/paste in a template that looks like this:

Morning checklist:
_ Check email
_ Check Slack
_ Make sure my tickets are in the correct state
_ Look at the meetings on my calendar and decided how to prepare (or not) for each one
(etc.)

Plan today:

Actual today:

I love the morning checklist because it ensures that if I space on one of those items during the day, like updating a ticket, it'll get taken care of the next morning. Trusting this part of the process takes a lot of stress out of the rest of the day.

After I make my plan for the day, I don't touch that section again. That way I can compare and contrast my plan with what actually happened. It can be enlightening to look back and see that a development project was in my plan every morning for a week, and my "actual" was dominated by production support and fighting with test environments.

The best part is that since I started keeping a journal like this, I've realized I get way more done than I give myself credit for.
I am a long time iPhone fan and this Android ad made me chuckle. I miss the self-deprecation of Silicon Valley/tech. It's almost nostalgic coming from Google. It reminds me of the Google and other tech companies before they became so successful and so polished.
Personally I think app would be the way to go, and charge some in app fee or subscription. I don't think anyone would pay for browser apps, and you would require massive volume to be ad supported.

Seems so much effort was spent on the lighting of a sign. Put it on a smart switch with a spare USB power adapter - I'm sure the author has a dozen - and control it via rest, MQTT, HomeAssistant, anything.

Discourse is great software and makes it so much easier to launch a forum but i personally never enjoyed the interface. Maybe I’m nostalgic, but I prefer the old style *BB interface with explicit categories/sections. Discourse kind of blurs the line with their “stream” style. This looks like an interesting alternative but unfortunately has a similar interface.
Easy: objects should not normally have members with different lifetimes, and ideally any mutable members at all.

There are exceptions to that, like queues and caches, but they are few and should be closely watched.
You haven't shown any evidence of _anyone_ having that goal or effect, and it's antithetical to how protests typically work. The protesters would be more than happy for the workers to leave and if anything be unable to come _back_.

Demand and supply.

Most Americans concept of "value" is not quality, it's quantity. Being unable to otherwise judge a thing on its merits, they take the bigger one. Not the one that is healthier, or more nutrient-dense. This, IMO, stems from the industrialization of our food supply.

America came of age in post-WWII industrialization. Our food industry originally "began" because it was scaling to cheaply meet the food and logistics needs of a massive war.

So Baby boomers (and therefore subsequent generations) learned to buy shitty, processed food "For America".
Buying a box of mac and cheese isn't like picking out the best vegetables. All things being equal, you just get the biggest one for the price.
I've built so many bespoke crawlers for this exact purpose over the years and I always thought it would be excellent to have a platform purpose built for this - even if it just assisted simple things like authentication/login and object identification in api's/feeds/portals. I would be really curious to see what kind of tooling you guys use internally to build these crawlers. There has to be a better option than headless webkit and xpath querying.
Portion sizes in Asia are smaller.

Citation: I'm Asian-American. Also, Filipino. We're not obese, but erm... Americans might be healthier, no joke. The amount of lechon we consume (incredibly fatty pig) + other fatty foods is a big problem to heart health, despite the fact that it doesn't cause obesity.

Oh, and Filipinos generally eat fresh foods. Fresh fish, fresh pork, fresh chicken. Relatively low processed foods (our Halo-Halo is similar to your "ice cream", except Halo-Halo is just milk poured over shaved ice + fruits + ube mixed in. "Low processing", but we all know its a desert and unhealthy).

That's the thing. Being Filipino gives me more insight into this "processed food" craze going on. Halo-halo has almost no processing involved and is made out of fresh ingredients. That doesn't make Halo-halo any healthier.

> And yet Asia has basically no obesity problem. We clearly need better nutrition science.

We all know beer and soda is bad for us, and yet we drink it all the time as a society. I'm not sure what nutrition science is beneficial when so many people choose to ignore it.

Cut back on high calorie foods. Watch your portion sizes. Count calories. Eat more fibrous meals to fill up your stomach ("tricking" your brain into thinking you're more full). Avoid non-fibrous foods (such as soda) because they miss out on the stomach/brain psychology.

---------

Its hard in America because of stupid little things. Plates are bigger in America, so when you're in America you trick yourself into putting more food into your plates.

Plates are literally smaller in the Philippines. So you end up eating less. Stupid cultural differences like that make a big difference.

Because American culture subtly forces you to overeat (bigger plates, bigger glasses, bigger drinks), you need to explicitly count calories. That's just the facts, if you aren't counting calories in America, you're going to overeat.

Again, it's only relevant if there is a fixed pool that both are being drawn from. Unless you are planning on spending 100% of world GDP and 100% of world land area on carbon capture plants, you are not sacrificing any future Gen 2 plants to build a Gen 1 plant. Even in the magical world where we know for certain to what degree Gen 2 can outperform Gen 1, and there was no cost to leaving carbon in the atmosphere for 20 years, Gen 1 + Gen 2 will still always outperform Gen 2 alone. In the real world, racing to do something now with technology that works is obviously better than letting the problem fester in the blind hope that it will become easier to solve later. Engineering is not about maximizing efficiency, it is about successfully solving problems. The guiding question is always "what get's the job done?" It doesn't matter how superior Gen 2 plants may be, if you can't build them they aren't an option.

Lebanese reserves of USD and other hard currencies are rapidly dwindling and going LBP -> USD at the official rate is now only permitted for "essential imports." Essentially the central bank will allow you to convert your LBP for USD at the preferred rate only if you are using those dollars to import things like medicines. Of course since Lebanon is incredibly corrupt there are probably people who are "importers" who overstate their imports so they can get more dollars and arbitrage the difference between the rates. Ordinary people can only convert only small amounts of LBP at local banks at a worse-than-official rate so they go to the "black market" which is basically just a bunch of street vendors and guys organizing on WhatsApp (https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2020/5/29/like-a-drug-deal...).
QKD is trivially vulnerable to MITMs who have compatible QKD devices. QKD is only immune to eavesdroppers and active attacks by attackers who don't have QKD compatible devices.

QKD only works for point-to-point links.

If PQ happens and we have no PQ classical asymmetric algorithms, QKD cannot save us. We do not have time to rebuild the Internet around hop-by-hop security in a world of QKD, and anyways, QKD can be trivially MITMed, so this just doesn't work.

Fortunately we do have some PQ classical algs. Fortunately we're not in a PQ world yet. If we end up being unfortunate (PQ happens before we deploy PQ classical algs) then QKD cannot help us.

Usually std::unique_ptr or in a container like std::vector.

Being too afraid of std::shared_ptr can lead to using references or raw pointers in the wrong places. That way leads to the usual memory safety issues.
At some point I hope this model evolves to engage content creators.

Clearly the biggest "draw" for these sorts of games is new content, and that is a sort of sunk cost with developers who pay people to create new content so that they can monetize it.

However, when it shifts into something like an MLM scheme where an "end user" can develop new content and then deliver it through the game engine, and then the game engine owner and person who developed the content "share" in the monetization (one by game sales etc, the other by in game currencies) then games like PoE and others can grow diversity without hiring.

The incentive alignment is pretty clear, really avid players can both improve their own playing experience (enrich themselves in game) by doing this, and the game developer gets more people playing because there is such an interesting mix of things to do an see.

At some point this evolves into market exchanges where people who can conceive compelling stories find others who are skilled at art or puzzle design and they can form a group for the purposes of delivering a bit of gameplay content that they share in the rewards from.

If you are having a hard time visualizing this, consider WoW for a moment. Let's say Bliz had a way for an avid player to "design" an NPC, write their back story, their interaction dialogs, and the quests they would give in the execution of their "story". An artist teams up with this person to provide textures for either an existing character type, or potentially designing a completely new kind of creature for this. All WoW quests have a fairly fixed set of game mechanics choices to work from so putting those together in ways that are interesting might be the role of a third member of this ad-hoc group. Once completing the story line you have access to a vendor NPC who will sell you various items for WoW gold (pets, spells, recipes, etc). If the "team" that came up with this whole package got a cut of the WoW gold that the vendor received for their wares, that would provide an incentive to this team to make their content compelling. That may be all the incentive they need. And Bliz gets a quest chain + vendor + content that enhances game play for all players and keeps it fresh.

Sort of like the virtual gig economy where players add content to the game in exchange for in game currency.

Its worse then gambling. When you gamble at a Casino, atleast there a chance you can win money (albit rare). With the mobile gaming pay to play inapp purchases, you never win that money back.
also, in the case of BGP it is also possible because it is a protocol with a strict process around its use in the default free zone with a community of peers who all benefit from being interconnected and being able to exchange routes.

Degrowth has happened many times before in human history, including last year. Almost no one wanted it but it still happened. As far as I know, total abandonment of free markets has not ever happened, despite many people saying they want it. I have a hard time believing something that has never happened is more likely than something that has happened repeatedly throughout human history and also last year.

"Plenty for humans to enjoy" is wealth. The change in wealth over time is profit. Maximizing enjoyment is maximizing profit. Whether you are talking about individual short term profit, or collective long term profit, the problems with number-going-up-obsession are ultimately the same.

> Money would eventually lose all meaning as people would have to be provided for or mass starvation policies would have to be put into place.

I'm unclear how this is different than the total abandonment of free markets. There's even historical precedent.

> You wouldn't get much enjoyment out of what you have...

It seems implicit in your argument that more wealth is more human enjoyment. I'm not so sure that is true. By virtue of being alive in 2021 and posting on HN, you are likely one of the wealthiest humans to have ever lived. Do you think you are one of the happiest?

One of the problems with the religion of numbers-going-up is that there are always bigger numbers. I think this is a pretty bad relgion honestly. Unfortunately it is very popular.
This sort of thing definitely has deterred investment in China. I was aware of it (in a very different industry) twenty years ago and it definitely affected decision making. It's impossible to track investments not made though.
> Just do everything with integers.
It gets cripplingly inefficient to do many calculations with integers. Simulating weather, or doing nearly any scientific calculation, using only integers would be a massively terrible idea.

Same with neural networks (even though there is some work in that area), or a large part of signal processing, or medical work.... and on and on.

>Determinism is king in lockstep programming

Pretty much all modern games don't do lockstep because it's far too slow, messy, and error prone. It's much better to build a tolerant system that can handle missed frames, lags, and instead do predictive and catchup computing.

Maybe use the right tool for the job, and learn new tools to access new jobs, is a better approach. Learning IEEE 754 nuances is a useful skill, and one can program many things by using this tool well that cannot be done efficiently or cleanly otherwise.
Yes, the author has re-discovered reference counting.
Not only is this post wildly incorrect, you also seem to have just given up with the populous?

I lose around 2 lbs per week at 1500 calories/day. This is pretty normal. 120lbs would be 60 weeks of that. Little over a year. You are completely off with 700 calories for 3-4 years. It's irresponsible to spout that nonsense.

> A more reasonable position is to just accept that some people are going to remain fat and focus on positive health outcomes for those people.

Unbelievable. You've given up.

Edit:

> but I'd wager the reason folks are downvoting you isn't because they hate trivially obvious facts, it's more to do with your analysis being shallow compared to the scale and complexity of the actual problem.

I'd believe you if a ton of responses weren't people claiming that insulin levels or how fat is stored is actually what matters.
> It is the result of intentional choices made by urban planners in the 1950s and onward.

(A) Emphasis on "onward." There's a massive amount of development since 70 years ago; if it were a fluke there's been ample opportunity for it to change.

(B) Who chooses urban planners?

(C) A large number of people want to live in dense population centers. Also, a large number of people don't.

The fact that discourse hijacks ctrl-f drives me insane. Sometimes I want to jump to a particular part of a thread featuring a word quickly, but discourse gets in the way.

And, though this is more subjective, I find the UI confusing. I end up browsing the github issues or even reddit for answers to questions just to avoid discourse on projects that use it (discuss.linuxcontainers.org - I'm looking at you).

That's the wrong analogy. Seat belts only work while you're wearing them. They don't prevent crashes. Imagine if the study found the opposite conclusion.

Have a client from Turkey who is basically running all Agar.io clones today (600+ online players) in the Web. Google ranks him 1st in search results (even higher than the original Agar.io itself) for multiple competitive keywords, and he makes around €3-4k every month from ads. Target audience is mostly kids, who are looking for unblocked alternatives of their favorite browser games at school.

He keeps saying SEO is everything, and won't drop the tiniest hint about how he's achieving to top Google results.

> This is basically addicts gambling.

A bit tangential, but there is some serious cognitive dissonance here on HN (and more broadly in the tech world in general). When Apple/Google does this -- facilitates some kind of arguably degenerate behavior -- it's "evil." But when OnlyFans does it -- sex addicts, lonely guys, social weirdos that need friends collectively spend millions of dollars on parasocial fake OnlyFans relationships -- this "empowers sex workers."

Yes, Google can still recognize "you" for some variation of "you". Anecdote - the other day my wife searched for an address on her phone while on WiFi. I searched for that same address just one minute later on a different computer (on the same WiFi) and the address was auto-completed by Google before there was enough of the address entered to make it unambiguous.

(Consider living in a neighborhood where all the streets around you start with "Fl". And then you go to search for "Flanders Drive", which you have never searched for before, and it gets auto-completed. Even though you would have expected "Fl" to expand to "Florence Road" since that's the thing you commonly search for. That's what happened here.)
