To my knowledge, most major anti-cheat has both native Linux and Wine compatibility modes (like EAC), but most studios disable Linux support altogether. One of Valve's mission statements with the Steam Deck was to use it to leverage vendors into adding Linux support for their games (e.g. See, it runs fine! All you have to do is enable Linux support to get on our platform, we'll handle the rest.)

"préciser" in English is "specify" in case that helps. (This has been a lovely thread!)
For a lot of new shops in at least western countries, writing everything in english is becoming the norm, including technical docs and comments.

The two main points I’ve seen are:

- it’s a daily pain to handle two vocabulary sets and lead to undue errors and bugs. When you have a “FishingBoat” class which related to a “boat” table and all the documentation points to “Bateau de pêche” and “barque” it’s 2x harder to follow things. Then people will accidently translate “bateau” to “ship” and it slips through a few reviews of mostly independent features, and you’ll have both words in the code base before you realize.

- it becomes a swamp the day a non native speaker touches your code base. For instance you need to share part of it with a company next door that happens to be the other side of the border. Or you ask a Romanian dev team to port your code to another platform.
Is on this kind of measures where jevons paradox or the rebound effect kicks in. We will inclined to eat more meat because is more sustainable, and with that we neutralize the gains.
Also meat from Brazil is many times dependent on Amazon deforestation, so although I love picanha, I will not eat it anymore.
For those in Europe please press your government not to ratify the EU-Mercosul agreement that will increase the trade of soy meat and ethanol in exchange for Europe export more cars to America Latina. We should avoid meat and individual transports and try to invest in the local economy so this agreement doesn't make any sense
The pseudo-science is strong with this one.
That is the opposite lesson that the government is walking away with.
I would say that in the beginning most apps weren’t that way- precisely because of the issues with building rich web apps. Now that it’s possible to replicate a lot of the “native” feel on the web, more apps are choosing the “wrap in a webview” approach as it vastly simplifies the development process across web and multiple mobile/desktop platforms.

Agreed on the control- another thing to consider at least in this crowd is that Safari content filters (aka ad blockers) aren’t applied in apps.

Besides all the stuff that's already given here:

1. We created a onboarding page via Google Sites where new employees get all the information in their onboarding process: Like all the details about their first onboarding week, informations about their future co-workers, tutorials about tools that person will use daily in our company and informations about the tech of our product

2. We have a Buddy program where our existing employees (department doesn't matter) will be always available for questions and go fur lunch/drink coffee in the first week

3. I also can't imagine a great onboarding experience without HR software support. We are based in Germany and use Personio as our all in one HR-tool

4. Perhaps it goes without saying, but the employee should get used to the team as quickly as possible in the first week

If you ask me, the number one reason is that Android and iOS have UI libraries that are specifically meant for mobile devices. Yes, you can design a web app for a mobile phone, but there is nothing that guides you or gives you any help in that direction.

For example, navigation between screens. On iOS, you have a nav bar at the top of the screen, and when you navigate to a new screen it slides over the current one, animating in a back button back to the previous screen. All apps behave this way, and when you have an iPhone you don't even notice this - it is just the way you interact with all apps.

You would have to hand-build that on the web, or use some random library that probably uses CPU animations and looks and feels bad.

Compare that with the corresponding iOS app code:

self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)

Then add on top of that other platform-specific things like location detection, push notifications, or camera interaction. The web got those, but years later. The native libraries are simply built for the native use case, and it's a huge competitive advantage.
You can mitigate that, for enterprise projects, using AWS Shield Advanced as it comes with DDoS cost protection:

https://aws.amazon.com/shield/features/

I say for enterprise projects because although it's cost is
reasonable for corporate projects, not probably something you can justify for most personal/private deployments.
> The moment they drop rates and ease restrictions apps that are not being built because of these rules will get built, and these apps will gladly pay the market rate of 5% to 10% for a full service payments system.

I have an app like that that's already done and in the app store. We would love to take advantage of Apple Pay for subscriptions, but the 30% tax means we literally can't. We'd have to jack our prices so much that the cost becomes prohibitive, and if we take the 30% hit ourselves we'd basically be giving things away for free.

If the cost would drop to somewhere in the 5-15% range it's a whole new ballgame.

EDIT: For anyone who's wondering – we basically use the same strategy as Netflix et al, the app is useless unless you already have an account and in order to get one you have to sign up elsewhere. We don't have links or information on how to sign up, you have to just magically end up on our site or have an account added through one of our partners.

I've read the same, but my Pixel 3 had no issues after ~12.000km, half on it on asphalt, the other half on gravel and some rougher parts. Then a Motorola and a Xiaomi which I guess shared each half of the ~12.000km (two phones mounted, Xiaomi replaced Motorola halfway, both in parallel to the Pixel 3), where both of these devices (not the Pixel) were making automatic photos at geofenced spots during the ride (one of the street, to record the wet/dry condition, one of the selfie camera to record the sky condition cloud/sunny).

Though I do use a rubbery holder with good damping properties [1] and only recently moved over to a fixed one out of aluminum [2] for one of the phones, which could start causing this issue.

If I'm using my own money on a personal project, I do not want "alerts". I want a maximum budget spend per X, where X is a small increment of time, like an hour or day.

Supporting hobbyist projects would absolutely lead to higher AWS adoption, at least in smaller companies.

It is not true that Ms Teams does not work on Linux. We do have several devs working on Linux (don't know which specific distros though) and it works just fine. There are some annoying pop ups saying "Teams is ready" anytime they get a message and one of them has to switch something about his graphics from time to time to be able share his screen (which has never been a problem problem for anyone else), but I wouldn't say that it doesn't work at all.
I mean, you weren't wrong. Stop/stopper is valid French...
Unrelated to Rouille, but I really like how the word factoid seems to be slowly inverting it's definition. Where it actually means an "Often thought fact that is actually incorrect", e.g. eating 8 spiders in your sleep per year. I am unsure if your fact is actually a factoid, but your comment reads as if you mean to use the word factoid in a reduced size of the word fact, it seems to mean something like; a small fact. In any case I see the word often "misused" in the latter sense. The appearant misuse of the factoid might make the newly acquired definition a ironic one, like an oxymoron.

I feel the latter definition of the word factoid feels more sensical: suffixing the word fact with -oid makes the text in which it is applied softer, where the word fact is rather harsh, the word factoid feels more friendly, like boba/ kiki, I speculate. In addition I think using more letters to address the subject you're about to share might make the reader hold its attention for longer and thus feels "right" to use in short sentences. I also feel as if I prefer to read the sentence in which it occurs with a slight upward inflection, which I find more positive.

Personally I hope the latter definition will stick and humanity is one more ironic definition richer.
This is why I roll my eyes anytime someone wants to "run government like a business". Government fundamentally must serve everyone, covering all the messy edge cases like unbanked people, and people who don't speak the native language.

Businesses look for efficiencies and that often means limiting their services to specific groups or requiring many prerequisites (either stated or implied). Government doesn't have that luxury and therefore has to be some level of inefficient. That doesn't stop government from offering modern internet-based services, it just means they have to keep the fallback process as well. For example, I can do my annual license plate renewal online with a credit card from the comfort of my home. If I don't have a credit card I can also go down to the ministry of transport office and pay in cash. A business could easily decide having physical offices all over the province is grossly expensive and make a switch to online payments only. Government doesn't (and shouldn't) have that option.

The comment on "complexity-as-a-service" resonates. IMHO, it's primarily because they want to make a product out of everything, including stuff companies build to manage their own AWS implementations. Instead of a simple list of products, its a complex list, with lots of nuances per each service offering. The other day, I was giving a high level summary of cloud technology to an intern; there was a point where I couldn't even find the AWS service I was telling her about from the product list, which annoyed me. Maybe that's more a comment about the marketing site though, but still, when your product catalog gets that big, its hard to avoid ridiculous levels of complexity.

University professor.

Reading Herschel's wikipedia page, I see that the guy was exceptionally curious. I don't see mention of his intelligence going one way or the other.
There is a useful lesson here: most people don’t use words to mean anything other than what they believe they are describing. Trivial to him means it doesn’t take a lot of time, which is how he uses the word, in the context of time. Now, he’s unaware that he’s wrong and he is also unaware that his misuse of the word means his explanation is irrelevant to anyone who doesn’t already understand him! In effect, he says nothing and you respond with confusion asking why you needed to understand what he didn’t!

(People are very very good with pretending at intelligence and bad at the practice of it)
One of the brands uses a generically engineered yeast to create a plant heme with a gene spliced in from soy. It's GMO but seems safe (its not like a round up ready GMO). I think these engineered meat substitutes may not be as healthy as a whole food plant based diet -- but I find it hard to believe they are less healthy or have a higher environmental impact that the meat they replace.
> Complex societies depend on assuming good faith.

Maybe stuff like this exposes the fact that the media are not as reliable as we think. If they are propagating this fake news, what other fake news are they propagating?

> Again, it's not THAT contagious.

It's very contagious if you come in contact with certain bodily fluids. ORs, and traditional rooms in hospitals are sterilized with bleach after a stay from an HIV positive patient. There's even plenty of stories of Dr's and surgeons contracting it when they've slipped with a scalpel or needle.

Further are you 100% confident people are not bleeding on shared surfaces and that other people do not come in contact with this? In SF I once saw a woman slip in a homeless person's urine, with her hitting the sidewalk and breaking skin with her arm in the urine. Wanna play guess the disease there?

> The main problem with covid is the tempo it spreads.

Great so self isolate since you're scared. In fact I see most of the problem being with the vaccinated thinking they're totally safe, and not using a mask. They still get the virus, still spread it, and yet they think they're not the problem.
Twitter banned zerohedge over this story; afaik that got reversed. There's another story in who got banned for what, which turned out later to have been true but "oh well it was misinformation then".

This is not just a stain on the flag of "misinformation" that's being waved about so vigorously, it's another example of that flag being used as a cover. At this point, the more official and "respected" the source accusing someone of "misinformation", the more suspicious we ought to be.
dc is interesting and genius, but as someone who has written a dc implementation [1], it is still very limited, though the extensions in my implementation make it easier to use.

Good point. I'm no expert, but I believe rate limiting systems typically use buckets that are partitioned by IP address or network segment or something similar. If there were just a single global bucket, an attacker could exploit the rate-limiter itself to cause a DoS, which is clearly not what the site wants.

But yeah, this seems like a way to archive something similar with potentially less complexity. (If you're willing to tolerate the wastefulness, which is still not cool in the age of climate change).

A challenge could be correctly invalidating a nonce. You don't want an attacker to reuse a previously solved puzzle for multiple requests - on the other hand, it's difficult to set up a good "time to live" for a nonce as you can't know in advance how much time a user would need to solve this nonce.

So I guess some global state to track recently "spent" nonces would be necessary.
Because it's the best fit. They're both unique complex systems which leads to different use cases and pros/cons.

Mobile is best taken advantage of via native. It has a rock solid distribution system, which sort of doubles as a marketing platform? It's more portable. There's lots of system features exposed to native apps. Your app can be on always, collecting telemetry and pushing notifications. The net connection is not always great.

Desktop is best taken advantage of via the web. Portability is a pain for native desktop, and there's no unified distribution system. You don't need background apps to be on all the time, people spend more time with their phones anyway. There isn't as much unique hw/sw functionality. But you have the fastest net access.

Of course they get used for that, but I think it's a mistake saying that because they are consumption devices therefore HN crowd would have limited use for them. That's not how that works. In two different people's hands the same device brings completely different value. I got an iPhone in 2008 and since then have used them heavily as communications devices and that's where the main value for me is.

The same goes for the comment about iPhones being 'designed for consumers'. They were designed to be easy to use, but that in no way means they were under powered or less capable because of those design considerations. Again, that's not how that works. Powerful or easy to use is a false dichotomy.

They're incredibly powerful tools and mistaking a major, even the major use case for being defining of the tool (therefore everyone uses it this way, or therefore that's where the main value lies, or therefore these people here wouldn't use them) is fallacious. There are 'influencers' who have built fortunes almost entirely on their phones.

No superbikes for you Apple users :D - recoils in anticipation of onslaught of downvotes -

In all fairness I expect it's going to be difficult to design anything with such small delicate moving parts to be invulnerable to arbitrary frequency vibrations. It can also be challenging to accurately model the resonant frequency response of composite "stuff" prior to manufacturing it (many bridges have failed). Better luck with the next model I guess...

> but being anti-China is objective and nonpartisan in the US

No, pretty much all American propaganda mills that are not formally associated with a political party claim to be “objective and nonpartisan” (the latter is truly universal, the former or a close synonym quite common). It doesn't matter if the viewpoint being pushed is one orthogonal to the party divide, common to the major factions of both parties, or extremely partisan in its appeal, or even outside of the mainstream of either party. The label is, itself, propaganda (though so routine and formulaic and widely recognized that it only has an impact on the most unaware.)
