If the author of the article is reading this, any chance of getting a stream or a video of you playing Far Cry? I'm sure a lot of developers, designers, etc. would love to see how you interact and overcome some of the obstacles that are typical of software and games alike, and would love to see (in action) how Far Cry goes about fixing them.

Yes of course the article is rich with detail - thank you so much for writing this - but to be able to watch a video and hear in real-time "oh, that blood just popped on the screen as a visual effect, but it really makes it more difficult to perceive my environment" would be absolutely priceless commentary.

I think a lot of the lack of accessibility isn't due to unwillingness but instead due to being unsure if what you're doing is actually helpful. I think it's way too easy to try to do something clever and instead making your app/game/whatever harder to use for both people with and without disabilities.

Having that direct insight and the ability to observe firsthand how differently-abled individuals interact with software - both good and bad software - would be monumentally helpful.

I would imagine this already exists to some degree but, at least for me, it's quite hard to find. If anyone has any good recs for this, please let me know.
> I do something similar, when trying to localize the source of some odd sound, though I do more rotations around the vertical axis, and less around a horizontal ones.

But the dog in the article is doing the behavior after the sound is finished. There is nothing more to hear.

The dog is clearly processing the noun and preparing to go search for the objective and retrieve it.
"How is meth "industrially" produced? Is it Walter White-esque clandestine factories?"

I've never produced it and as you'd be aware it'd be stupid of me to offer advice based on chemical knowledge as it's manufacture is illegal - despite the fact that the various methods are widely known.

From time to time, I've seen busts of clandestine labs on TV and it's easily doable in a garage or shed. Seems the smell of volatiles often gives them away (e.g.: propan-2-one or similar reagents), or they catch fire (seeming a common occurrence) which burns the place down thus attracts attention.

As an expert, you'd know that a racemic mixture results. As backyard-ers don't have the means to separate the enantiomers, law enforcement uses the fact to determine whether stuff they've collected originated in a backyard lab of from a pharmaceutical complex. Nevertheless, I gather from the article that's narrowed. It seems, that when one's made enough money manufacturing gets reasonably sophisticated.
When I tried, Quad9 (9.9.9.9) resolved enigma.rs in 5.2 s.

It's strange to think that after all this time, Assange could walk away a free man by the end of the year, although it's not hard to imagine that some government will come up with another reason to arrest him (or worse) if that happens.

We use the Google Families setup to provide some safety features (location), and have device schedules to limit constant use. Families also shows which apps are used, and for how long. We don't track websites, or filter them other than for ads. I also use the similar setup on the google wifi (now nest) mesh devices, to have schedules so that time limits are enabled for all children's/media devices. They often ask for overrides, or extra time, and that's fine - interactivity over health boundaries. We don't collect any data on content, contacts, etc. Just apps and how long per day/week/month, so we can share that with them.

We have to teach our children to be good people, and how to process the world, and what we've already managed to process out of what we've seen throughout our own lives. If your strategy depends on censorship to provide a healthy path, I don't think it's going to be that healthy of an outcome.
We used CRDB 2.1.4 and then on the YYYY versions when they changed to a date based version scheme in production at a fintech. This must have been a year or so ago. I've since left. I think they might still be using it. Back then it had issues with SQLAlchemy and we had to do much in teh way of changing our application to be more cloudy in the sense of being able to retry transactions and such.

I don't think we trialed YugaByte at the time because an ORM story was a dealbreaker and CRDB at least advertised support.
When an asset is making new highs and is in a bull market, everyone starts putting out more and more unreasonable price targets. Its a hallmark of two-bit "market analysts" everywhere.
Well, it’s a little brutal to think about it. But it’s true. Because if the economic system stopped working, we would ALL die
Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't known about Cloudflare Gateway and am exploring at now. Preliminary thoughts: it seems a lot more complex than configuring and setting up NextDNS. Had a look at setting up policies, and it doesn't seem to support adding ad-blocking lists (like the ones used in uBlock Origin) easily. In NextDNS these are just checkboxes for each filter list.
I do this to.

In my case, I do it after I have heard or seen something surprising or puzzling.

I do it while I am processing the information. It's a way to signal to the person or people I am with that I am offline i.e. not receiving further input through my eyed and ears whilst I am processing the data.
Ocean waves work like this: water molecules are piled up in humps, and all the molecules slide across the ocean, while the water underneath the humps does not move. If you poured some dye into the waves, the water-humps would carry it along.

Sound works like this: vibrating objects put energy into air molecules, then the molecules zoom all the way to your ears at the speed of sound. They put the sound vibrations into your eardrum. Then they zoom all the way back to the vibrating object. Then repeat.

Uh, that's all wrong. Not oversimplified. Just wrong. (Airfoil explanations are similarly wrong. Not just oversimplified.)
Look at prisons with bad nutrition and you’ll notice a large amount of people with some serious muscle mass. If you’re getting regular, very intense exercise (as you would need to as a hunter-gatherer) you’re in the top x% of the world population by fitness, no matter if you’re slightly nutrient deficient. Furthermore, we have at least some reason to believe that prehistoric populations weren’t so badly fed that it led to physical issues - they regularly reached heights equaling that of humans in recent years, far taller than the poorly fed people in e.x. medieval Europe.

Furthermore, modern humans have plenty of disease and issues caused by our modern environment that would render us far weaker 70 kya. Near/farsightedness, teeth issues, diabetes, obesity, repetitive stress injuries, etc. are entirely modern issues. Then look at the comforts we’ve gotten used to (shoes, clothing, soap, a too-clean environment for our immune system etc) - and I have no doubt that a modern human would be in far, far worse shape for the prehistoric life than your average person 70 kya.
Does that mean you can send links to different instances of Firefox under different profiles, or even particular windows (eg sending a link to the same screen/workspace as the programming passing the URL)?

Historically I think the last Firefox to open received all the link-opening requests.
I think you just said “stick with it is by no means what I said”, and then gave a longer, richer explanation why he should have indeed just “stuck with it”. I agree with the original commenter. Seems these app ideas were all pretty unoriginal and in markets with giants already. Making a video game is the software equivalent of opening a restaurant… And so are a few other of these app ideas.

I think it’s good to see failure posts like this on HN. Helps balance out some of the toxic positivity you can run into. Not everyone will succeed, even the ones that work hard for years and are very talented (like these folks).
I never liked X11, its API is much worse than any complaint one can imagine over Win32.

It is no surprise that the only UNIX clones that had a good desktop user experience always did their own thing instead of pursuing the X11/Motif path.
I agree with what you say. But instead of learning Toki Pona, you could also learn the 100 most common Chinese words and probably say as much as you can say in Toki Pona. If you study that list, you will see that just like in Toki Pona, many of the words have multiple meanings and can be used in multiple modes.

Of course, Chinese being a tonal language and the use of characters make it a lot harder than Toki Pona, but the number of people you can talk with, is a lot larger.

One of the problems that I had when learning Toki Pona, is that I did not have access to native speakers. Learning a language from a book is a lot harder than learning it through daily use. Recent studies have shown that adapt there language when they talk to their children and that that might be one of the reasons why children learn a language so seemingly without any effort.

I understand that for adults that is also te best method for learning a new language, having a native speaker that is able to adjust his language use to your comprehension of the language.
I use straightforwardness as a proxy for rudeness, which is what it usually is in these cases. Its like the famous "brusque New Yorker" style or "Berliner schnauze". If you talk to them the same way they talk to you they get pissed because this brusqueness is not how they talk to an equal, but rather an outsider.

Sadly, it is quite common for those companies to have rather diverse and relaxed ethical guidelines around crunch and overtime.

Rather: Hiring based on passion is a way to get away with demanding a lot of overtime or crunch time. :-(
(Excuse the length; formatted it for readability.)

Your guesses are all good (and by "classics" I meant the works of Seneca, Cicero et al). You'll also find many gems in the bibliography section of any book with real substance. A good author will share their sources. On why I recommend these: Many of these researchers spent years grappling with the said topics. They are "invested" in it, and to be charitable, were/are trying to arrive at truth, however imperfectly. Even when they get things wrong, these books are more likely to make us think than the vapid "books" by charlatans.

On Thinking, Fast and slow being hard to read: it is a hard read. For Pete's sake, the book asks you to grapple with probabilities, which we humans are terrible at. If you're trying to read Prospect Theory (a key idea from the book) in bed when tired, or in a noisy train station, you will be frustrated. Read it when you are fresh and are able to concentrate well.

Note though, none of these books are "perfect"; there will be things in them that might irritate you. Read them anyway, for the mental nourishment they provide.

More broadly, if you're interested in psychology, primate behaviour, neuroscience, philosophy, game theory, and linguistics, here are a selection of books that I've found helpful:

• Descartes' Error by Antonio Damasio

• Neuroscience: Exploring the brain by Bear, Connors, and Paradiso (this is a fantastic illustrated text book with great explanations; fully worth the 72 euros I paid for it)

• Behave and Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Sapolsky (I wrote my "why" for Behave here[1])

• Moral Tribes by Joshua Greene

• The Evolution of Cooperation by Robert Axelrod

• Chimpanzee Politics by Frans de Waal

• Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture by Johan Huizinga

• Metaphors We Live By, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson

• Becoming Human by Michael Tomasello

• For Stoicism, I wrote a detailed guide here[2] on good quality English translations by foremost scholars

• Not least of all, read some of Plato's dialogues—they're immensely fun, even if you don't agree with anything he says. Here's[3] a few recommended English translations.

I can approach 150-160, depending on the test. I think it's because I've been playing video games since I was 7 years old, before they had voice chat. In those early days, you did a lot of typing.

I imagine it is similar to any other skill though. Practice. I'm sure there are web apps. You'd just have to put in some time each day for a period and you'd improve.
Java RMI was based on Objective-C distributed objects ideas actually, so it is no wonder that these things kind of go in circles.
Hello fellow HN crowd :) As part of my day job, I often do tech workshops & talks. I made livetext to share code and other text snippets with my participants in real time. Code, links, quotes, images - basically anything that can be expressed with Markdown.

During my talks, I often interactively write code snippets, using input from the participants. At the same time, I want to make sure they can always can copy-paste the code and not just look at it all the time.

Of course, I could have used live coding tools like repl.it for the coding part. But I wanted it to look more like a scratchpad with formatting support than an actual coding environment.

Regarding the tech stack: TypeScript (Backend: Express, Frontend: Vanilla JS, bundled with Parcel), MVP.css as lightweight CSS framework, socket.io for client-server communication, Codemirror 6 as code editor, markdown-it for Markdown rendering. The project is hosted on fly.io.

Hope this is useful for other, too! I am looking forward to your thoughts & feedback!
Dogs are about 99% oriented around scent. Perhaps changing the angle of their two nostrils allows for a more accurate 3-D perception of their world? Asked to fetch a named toy, the dog "reads" the room in olfactory stereo to locate the object for retrieval.

It's not particularly good science to assume the universe is limited to what humans are good at perceiving. I'm sure there are some potential publications in this somewhere.
Code without automated tests? Are we serious?
As expected (i.e., the article's study found) effective comms are about context.

- Whose attention are you trying to get?

- When are you trying to get it?

- What is it that you understand that you want the receiver to understand?

As they say, it's complicated. For example, at the extreme, ever phone or visit a friend with a toddler / child? And try to get an keep that adult's attention? Yup. Probably not the time to discuss thermonuclear war ;)

Similar can be said of (website) UX. What the brand and/or design team considers TMI is probably 2x to 3x the amount of information the visitor finds acceptable. The vistors' context (e.g., focus and/ or familiarity) is typically different.
There's a TP-Link WR810N, that looks quite a lot like a knockoff Mac charger. Can run OpenWRT, though a lot less well equipped than the device in the linked article.

Many generations of professional pilots have been taught the "equal transit theory." It's often as an answer their licensing exams.

So, most pilots have little idea how wings actually work. (But since the rise of the internet, things have been sloooowly changing. At least the pilots have started questioning and arguing!)
Ah yes, the new junior developer technical interview
(I'm in the USA, so my comment is in that context)

It's very easy to blame this on various proxies for "capitalism" (like “return on equity”), but I think that misunderstands capitalism. It's assumed that capitalism prefers being "lean" or being "efficient" over alternatives, but it's actually circumstances that prefer being lean or efficient.

And when the circumstances change (such as when disasters or war or politics disrupt the supply chain), then other strategies might be preferred. So those businesses that have excess supply or who are able to manufacture domestically (or on site!) might have the advantage. And that will help keep products available to consumers and reduce the economic shock of changes in the circumstances we find ourselves in.

But when government decides to overwhelmingly favor "lean" businesses through policy, business incentives become perverted.

Here in Texas, businesses pay taxes on excess inventory. Its called “Personal Property Tax” and you are required, as a retailer or manufacturer, to render a value and consequently pay a tax for all of the property the business owns at the end of the year. That includes whatever inventory or materials you might own - so whatever you might be holding for reserves or disaster mitigation. So you are incentivized to make sure, at least on Dec 31, that you have as little excess inventory and supplies as possible on your sales floor or in your warehouse.

Government subsidizes overseas shipments, thus encouraging manufacturing and retail over domestic manufacturing and retail.

Government makes domestic employees and manufacturing very expensive (via wage minimums and taxes and regulation and so on) but does not extract tariffs on imported goods - especially lower-priced commodities. That makes it significantly cheaper to offshore manufacturing and warehousing and take advantage of cheap (slave?) foreign labor, environmentally harmful practices allowed by foreign government, etc. Don't get confused - I'm not saying we should have no wage minimums or employment taxes or regulations. Just that the government favors manufacturing and warehousing overseas to domestic manufacturing and warehousing.

So while there are circumstances that favor a business environment that is “efficient” and “lean”, there are tax and legal incentives that don't change as quickly as the circumstances do.

We've enjoyed a robust, dependable supply chain and robust economic growth for a long time. Lots of bad policy has taken root during that time. That bad policy is going to impede the economy’s ability to adapt to the sudden changes we've experienced. And we will all suffer for it.
I either eat carbs or protein. Since 1 Month I lost nearly 4Kg. I don't eat sugar, so no problem for me to leave out sweets.

Example meals:

Spaghetti with tomato-veggie sauce without cheese:
- cut Peperoni and Onion into small peaces
- press 1 big garlic into the tomato sauce
- put 2 big spoons of good Olive Oil into the sauce
- put powdered Pepper, Chilly, Salt and Oregano into the sauce

Now, heat the sauce up until it boils. Then reduce heat just so that it still kooks, but not bubbles. Let it kook for about 2 hours.

Finally, kook Spaghetti. Drip them down very good. Then put all the sauce (hopefully you made enough!) into the Spaghetti and leave them for about 5 Mins.

Enjoy by eating veeeeery slow, chew very eonjoyful and try to taste every ingredient. ;-)

And here's quickie:
- Preparation: whisk eggs, put a sip of milk in it, whisk again
- cut Onion and Bacon into small peaces and start to kook them with butter and salt on low fire.
- after about 5 min. add the whisked eggs
- stir it until good

Additional ideas:

- Steak with Broccoli

- Fish kooked in Butter with steamed (and salted) vegetables.

- Bread with Vegan topping (check that the topping has no, or very little protein)

- Bulgur with lot's of Onion and Peperoni (kook the vegetables first in a frying pan with good Olive Oil on very low heat. Olive Oil should not be used to fry because it creates poison if heated up too much!).

Besides all the eating it is very advisable that you go to bed early and drink a lot of good water. Here in Switzerland, we have Spring Water, so no problem if you drink Water from the Tap. But for example in the USA/Canda etc., I could not drink Tap water because it has way too much Chloride in it.

BONUS Tips:
- before every meal, drink 3dl of water.
- eat slooooow :-) ...and STOP eating when you feel you're full
- don't look TV when you eat and put away your Phone too. Means, don't let anybody distract you when eating.

Aaaand finally...
...be happy ;-)
We used CRDB (and still do) in production and a scale (billions of records+) and have found it to be very good. While it does not have every advanced feature of PostgreSQL, you get very easy clustering and operational simplicity which drive reliability. The command like tools that come with it are also fantastic. Impressive database that’s been a joy to work with. Sorry, no direct experience with YB.
For me I think it boils down to how remote friendly the company is — my current place was already remote first so noticed no real difference to being 100% remote apart from not meeting up for lunch with the one other guy who lived nearby.

But in every other company I've worked, working remotely made you the poor man of the team for meetings etc. "Oh sorry that you can't see the whiteboard on the call, we just want to draw this out".

The shift during the pandemic is that everyone was now remote

> By the time DOE, now known as NEO, was released in 1995, Sun had already moved on to Java as their next big thing. Java was now the GUI of choice for client-side applications, and Sun's OpenStep plans were quietly dropped (see Lighthouse Design). NEO was re-positioned as a Java system with the introduction of the "Joe" framework, but it saw little use. Components of NEO and Joe were eventually subsumed into Enterprise JavaBeans.
> The cantor space is uncountable (which can be seen by prepending '0.' before every binary sequence which gives the real number interval [0,1).)

You can do the same trick with natural numbers to "prove" that they are uncountable too - just drop the duplicates. 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ... 0.9, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13...

Unfortunately, neither of these sequences contain the real 1/3, so they have gaps.

> I dread losing it if Management decides to pull us all back into the office when the pandemic is over.

One thing this pandemic will be remembered for is how it permanently changed the way desk jobs are done. If "Management" decides to pull you back into office, there are many more "Managements" who are waiting to hire you by giving you the option to remain remote.
From imagination.

I will never have ads and always have complete privacy.

I also don't have any streaming services because none of them have an option to avoid ads and maintain privacy no matter how much you pay them.

When I can buy physical copies of content, I often do. Sadly in most cases the only way to consume modern media in full 4k quality for any amount of money with privacy and without ads, is piracy.
