Give Noita a try, it's a fun indie roguelike with subtle powder toy mechanics. It's a proper hearty, arcade-like experience too. If I've got some spare time between projects, I seem to always find the time to fit a couple Noita runs in...
Well even if I want to find someone local, doesn’t mean I can just walk outside and find them, especially since the pandemic shut down most events in the Bay Area. Dating apps seem pretty popular and I think vast majority of people on those platforms are looking for someone local.
This is completely tangential but does anyone who has any real experience with painting done anything with the VR painting apps? I have one called PaintingVR, and I think it's cool, but I have no real experience with physical paints (always opting to use a digital drawing tablet since I was a kid).

If anyone has any experience, how do you feel it compares to the real deal?
Etch it into metal or stone blocks and seal it in a mausoleum.
It's too late to listen to it for the first time in 2021. You had to listen to it in 1963, or with that frame of mind, because before then there was nothing else like it. Everything after was influenced by it. And now it's normal. Just like Dylan, or the Beatles or any great influencer. They don't sound that great today. If you weren't alive before them, it seems normal and pedestrian, like a standard that was always there. Only it wasn't. At some point someone had to invent that great leap forward, then everyone after copies it, and so today it is taken for granted as the standard baseline from which you build your thing onto.
Even in English, in certain contexts, blue-green middling shades are treated individually (turquoise, cyan). Of course there are many color names in paint/art, but even in everyday situations there is a pretty clear concept of turquoise being its own distinct color.
Yeah. I had a LG G Pad 8.3 (2013) that I used as much as last year until the screen separated from its body and started to fail as an effect. Was using it with LineageOS (don't remember the exactly version, but it was either Android 9 or 10), and it also allowed to tweak the scheduler so the CPU would always run at pretty much the maximum speed. The battery life was obviously bad but would still get one day of reading/watching videos (that was pretty much the main usage I had for it), and thanks for the tweaked scheduler the UI was not that laggy (it was laggy, but not worse than an actual low-end device).

Also, different from iOS at least Google still pushes updates for important parts of the system (Chrome, WebView, etc.), so at least for casual navigation it wasn't horrible insecure.
In France, the gvt's response to rising inflation is helicopter money. It's like if they never opened an history book and never heard of the weimar republic inflation...
If you have to force people to join your political club, then you have no right being a political club, do you?

Unions are just another group of people trying to take the little bit of power workers have, to use it for their own ends.
So are country clubs, and social clubs that organize fundraising galas and such. Joining them to make useful business contacts very probably works pretty well (I've not tried, but I've done some looking—note that the social clubs are usually exclusively for women—yes, even in 2021—but men attend the events). Tennis is still huge. Skiing. That stuff changes slowly, if at all—you and I just aren't part of it, so we can imagine it's some old-fashioned thing that's all but extinct, if we don't go looking for it.

Most of the shit from the now-ancient Official Preppy Handbook is still basically true, in fact, as far as I can tell.

The tech version of "where to meet people to make connections" is probably rock climbing gyms, right now. That'd be for barely-rich new money people connected to tech, or for programmers if you're looking to hire. Every group has their in-crowd preferences.
Having gone through it, I think the single most important things are missing. Your co-founder needs to have the same vision as you, they need to want the same outcome. And you don’t find out that you want different outcomes for a long time, it’s very very easy in the beginning to agree you both want a successful company, for your software to be awesome, and for money to roll in. Later when things get real, you may discover your shared vision isn’t quite as shared as you thought.

The other thing I want in a co-founder is someone who will have my back unflinchingly and always when speaking to others, whether it’s investors or customers or just friends and family, because inevitably things will come up that worry you which can sow mistrust if not caught quickly. I was lucky to have such a co-founder, and I actually feel guilty for worrying that they didn’t always support me. I tried to return the trust at all times. But note that discovering differing visions can and does threaten your ability to know if a co-founder trusts you! I think it’s a miracle that companies survive, knowing how easy it is for people to want different things.
Or it could vary even more rapidly as local language changes can take root internationally on a whim now, where they had major barriers before.

I am ok with lower salaries catching up. For decades it used to be that mainly the top 10% benefited from a better economy so maybe it’s time everybody else’s incomes to go up. It’s against my own interest but it seems fair.

Nobody worried about inflation when house prices, stocks, healthcare and education shot up. It seems they worry only now that low incomes have pressure to go up.

Agree 100%. Three issues:

- Do other firms trust Intel with their IP? Apple has a new feature for their next generation - Intel quickly becomes aware of this and this information leaks into Intel's product plans.

- Is Intel a reliable foundry partner? TSMC have a 30+ year track record, Intel have none as a third party foundry. Will they change their strategy again?

- Will other firms get a fair prioritisation of resources in the fabs? Or will Intel's own products be favoured?
Obviously you're correct about that, but those productivity gains from those sources are unlikely to be accurately predicted by Wright's Law, which is what this thread is about.
I did see the commits, but the last release was almost three years ago. That is not necessarily bad. I was just wondering whether it still works well or there are any quirks.

I was curious who voted which way. I was not surprised one bit.
I agree 100%. As someone who owns guns, I don't want to have them taken away. But I don't want criminals to have them. Personally I would give up mine if everyone else did, including the police, but that isn't going to happen. And at this point there are so many guns in the US that I'm not sure what a realistic solution is. Even if we could get past the politics, mass confiscation would probably be ineffective (to make it work would require the use of significantly more force than US citizens will accept and far more police than we have, or near universal compliance).

The economic advantages of Apple to delay any satellite functionality of their devices until these IoT providers are desperate is the script playing out. It requires no coordination between the larger technology and tech service providers for them to realize the significant value they will realize by being slow to implement satellite related options to their devices and services.
I don't know when they decided it exactly but FOSDEM usually takes place in Brussels, at the ULB / VUB (Université Libre de Bruxelles / Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and these last days the numbers of new COVID cases are really through the roof in Belgium and Brussels more specifically (Brussels being the belgian city with the lowest vaccination rate in the country) and several politicians are asking once again, as you can guess it, for more and more restrictions.

Please note that this is not automated yet. I bet that automation could make bamboo plywood cheaper than hardwood plywood... with the same level of quality.

But typical hardwood is decades of growth time to harvest.
I don't see how JS, CI/CD, or CMSes impact archivability, but something like dependence on API availability instantly ruins archivability.
This would be true if we only make incremental changes to communications over the next 500 years. I highly suspect we’ll see revolutionary changes that are fundamentally incompatible.

Assuming we can always hook up another gateway to the next “internet” is like someone 500 years ago assuming that they could send a message via horse to the internet.
> aren't a lot of good reasons to compile with C90

Sure there are, like:

- Project doesn't want mixed declarations and statements creeping into the code base

- Project doesn't want want variable-length arrays creeping into the code base.

- Project doesn't want new footguns in preprocessing.

- Project hates mixtures of // and /.../ comments.

I think the Linux kernel is still using C90 (with GNU extensions).

> tools that relied on propagating the result of the last operation executed into main.

In all the situations in which the compiler has enough information to indicate the insert of a "return 0", it could emit a diagnostic (if it is in C90 mode).

foo.c:17: warning: main returns without a value [-std=c90, -Wmain-return]

The user is alerted to this and can look at the code and decide whether it's just missing a "return last_operation();" or whether it should be "(void) last_operation(); return 0;".

-std=c90 is not a good option for requesting "I want the random contents of the return register left behind by the last function called in main to be the return value of main, if possible".

At first I thought it'd be great to pick up engineering and say yes to some of these founders.

After becoming a designer/engineer I've realized that most of these ideas take shape during the engineering process. And the process will in turn change and twist the idea itself based on customer interviews and iterative prototypes.

The engineering process leads to better "ideas" that replace the initial ideas. But most non-engineer, first-time founders don't realize that's the case. The engineering process also pokes so many holes in the first idea, because they require the idea to actually be fleshed out...

Maybe I'm just bitter about working with doe-eyed, non-technical first time "idea person" kind of founders.
King Spray on the Oculus Quest is pretty good (cue the multi threaded chain about Oculus requiring a FB login).
They sometimes (often) have "last look" -- so a bunch of companies compete to win an auction against each other, and then Google gets a chance to win against the winner of those. This means that Google can essentially maximize the profit they receive if they have a better bid, because they know exactly how much fee they can take without losing. Everyone else on the other hand, has to compete with _lower_ fees so they can win that first round of the auction.
The reason Apple doesn't do this is because users will get deceived into providing those keys to malicious entities which will compromise their devices and everything on them in exchange for the promise of free games, or free in-game currency, or whatever.

> Do we really think the average worker is able to produce better outcomes than management?

As a long time HN reader who works in a factory, I often hear the sentiment that management is clueless MBA's and workers are better off left on their own in WFH situations. Strange I see this is a highly upvoted comment. Maybe it has something to do with this:

> look at how dysfunctional politics have become, at how ~50% of Americans would gladly re-elect DJT post-January 6, and ask, do you want those people to hold the industrial economy hostage?

I'm just curious why you think "those people" don't deserve the right to fight for better wages, work life balance, better benefits just as the skilled tech class does. Does some of them voting for a politician you don't like have to do with this bias perhaps? Switching jobs to up your comp by 30% isn't an option for most of "those people". Unions are likely the only option they have to bring themselves leverage in negotiation.
These sorts of comments are against HN guidelines. It's not conducive to complain about the site's poor UX, as aggravating as it is.

"UBI."

Should stand for "Unbelievably Bad Idea."

We already have some form of this in the US. That is what WIC, SNAP, Section 8 etc are...and our neighborhoods were devastated by all the "free" money. Nothing in this World is "free"....just ask farmers who end up having to dump milk on the ground because the cost its selling for is less than it cost them to produce. Lights, Fodder, Land, Taxes animals...none of that is free either.

I really wish I could make everyone understand that the things that are valuable are intangible: dignity, honor...knowledge and trust in one's abilities. You can't be given those; you have to earn them by doing the WORK.

Those Section 8 apartments? Filled with lead, asbestos, roaches. Not free. The costs come in the form of horrible respiratory numbers for minorities who live in them.

WIC?? Government cheese made mostly of oils and bad fats??? Not Free. The costs come in the huge obesity numbers for people on food programs. No, it isn't the only contributing factor, laziness plays a part, but crappy free food is where it starts.

Do you really want the rest of the World to look like our neighborhoods? I don't...stop trying to manage and fix everything for everyone. Let them ask for help when they feel they need it. Otherwise, you are simply creating dependency. Self motivation is the greatest poverty ender ever. And you would rob them of feeling it's effects by your "generosity"...which by the way is suspect. Why aren't you teaching them to code instead? That's how most of you got wealthy...
haha, yes, but that requires you to modify existing code to do so (which isn't always possible!).

There might also be other things you want to do (like add profiling after each op) that would be tedious to do manually, but can easily automated with FX (https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/fx_profiling_tuto...).

Another example is the recent support from torchvision for extracting intermediate feature activations (https://github.com/pytorch/vision/releases/tag/v0.11.0). Like, sure, it was probably possible to refactor all of their code to enable users to specify extracting an intermediate feature, but it's much cleaner to do with FX.

This was approximately what I thought the first time I read it, except I didn't find the vendetta story interesting.

On subsequent reads (and especially listening to it read aloud and as an audiobook), my opinion turned on its head. The structure reflects whaling, with weeks of discussion about ropes and navigation punctuated by relatively brief periods of excitement.

Ahab and the whale are left vague because that makes them grander in the imagination than they could possibly be when thoroughly described. The whale is just out there looking for squid, it's the people on the boat that have made it out to be something different.
That cost reduction doesn't just come out of thin air. If you want to build software that is competitive with Windows in other aspects, then you will have to charge similar amounts. Otherwise you're just leaving money on the table, because we know by now that customers are extremely willing to pay for it. And as long as Microsoft is shipping new APIs on Windows, Linux will never be able to run every game on Steam or every Windows program. It will always be perpetually behind playing catch-up, just like it has been for the last 25 years. The problem with your plan (and with all of these type of plans that I've seen people post) is that it requires Microsoft to give up and cede the market, which is not going to happen.

‘This stuff won’t go away’: PFAS chemicals contaminate WI’s waterways and soil
Agreed. Programmers don't like math either. And because of that, this task that is specialized business domain system building is likely to be given to specialists -- not programmers. It lives in the data science/business/logistics analysts space.

The whole point of this type of systems analysis is to be able to lift and shift the task from a group of people who can but also don't want to do it to a smaller group of people who have chosen and specialized to do it.

As hard as it is to find any service manual at all for old machinery, and then when you spend $100 to order a used manual off ebay find that the really useful pages are ripped out or covered with grease, I think a product like you describe is waiting on AGI more than it's waiting on nice AR glasses. Very few people need this product, so the intellectual labor to produce it will need to be nearly free.

I've gotten to where I can identify most bolt head sizes on sight... I very rarely have to pick up more than two wrenches and usually the first one is right. Also I find that bolt sizes are typically fairly standardized on a particular machine. I occasionally work on a mini-excavator that has 10mm, 13mm, and 19mm bolts (and 8mm allen-heads), but nothing else I've found so far.
The stake are higher in political discussion, but you do not have to search long to find uncivil behavior in just about any online interaction. People in a car repair forum might be kind to each other, but put those same two into a sports discussion, or even a discussion of Ford v Chevy and things can get quite salty quite quickly.
The thing I think Doctorow is missing is the motivation at the engineering level to get a patent. There is very minimal strategizing between corporate attorney's about how the patent might be strategic. If something is patentable, the engineering teams will often pursue a patent mostly motivated from a bragging rights perspective. It's a great way to give recognition to engineers. Most of Google's/Microsoft's portfolio are collections of patents like that. Maybe at a portfolio level there is some strategizing, but not at the level of the engineers actually inventing things.
> I’m surprised so few people care about where there cofounder lives.

I got the impression that many of the people using these services felt they had already exhausted their local networks and decided to look more broadly.

I also suspect that many of these founders plan to build full-remote companies anyway.

That I said - I agree. I'd want my co-founder to be local if at all possible, even though I've worked remotely for many years. The co-founder relationship is too important.
lets be real, Google makes more from ad revenue than the sales of videos, etc. I doubt this is a big sticking point to deplatform their app.
It's not that.

ARC/eARC is about the TV sending audio from HDMI devices to another HDMI port where your receiver/soundbar is connected.

HDMI audio passthrough is a feature that allows apps to send any raw encoded audio signal "as is" via the HDMI port (eg: Dolby, DTS, etc) to your receiver that will do the decoding.

The ATV does not support DTS or TrueHD, hence to output audio with those codecs, it needs to be decoded and converted on the fly to a supported format like PCM. Unfortunately this produces all sort of issues (sync, volume, etc).
I would advise not eating any kind of concrete.
> JK Rowling isn't really much of a radical feminist or a TERF as far as I can tell.

I agree, but I can tell you that a lot of my Facebook friends (who are all people I know IRL) who post pro-trans content have posted stuff calling her a TERF and/or transphobic.

> Maybe you're alluding to something like the sports argument here?

FWIW, I agree with your take on sports. but that's not what I was alluding to. I was alluding to my recent experience which is that it seems to be fast becoming socially unacceptable within large parts of the transgender movement to talk about someone's physiological sex at all (and I mean their current physiology as modified by HRT and/or surgery, not what they were born with). I have been called transphobic on numerous occasions for:

- Naming someone's sex

- Wanting to differentiate between those who have medically transitioned and those who have not yet, or don't plan to.

- For suggesting that hormones affect behaviour

- For expressing my sexuality (I am attracted to physically female people (cis or trans))

- For expressing my opinion that someone's gender identity (be they cis or trans) is only rarely relevant to me (as people have such different ideas of what it means to be a certain gender that their identity tells you almost nothing about them).

> Nevertheless, self-id is one issue that has some real nuance but it's one issue in a whole constellation of other debates which have much less nuance and simply come down to: trans people look weird and I want them to not exist.

I would agree that there a bunch of issues that simply come down to "trans people look weird and I want them to not exist" (as a somewhat effiminate man, I have unfortunately experienced some of this myself). However, I would suggest that there are also a bunch of issues from the other direction that simply come down to "I'm not comfortable with my body, therefore I don't want anyone to talk about bodies".
It's certainly a possibility, but anecdotally, I have audio CDs from the late 80s that still play.

Meanwhile, I have games I played 3-4 years ago on the PS3 that are severely hampered because the online components no longer work--the servers were either shut down, or in one case the company completely went under.
