Energy “subsidies” are a strategic investment in securing your lifestyle. Just look at Europe right now as they head into winter with sky high natural gas prices. They’d go ahead an strike any deal that secures their supplies so they do t freeze half to death like they did with Russia.

Energy is a strategic asset and simply saying “it gets subsidized” makes it sound like charity.
Started with Zuckerberg saying they had no role in Trumps Election. Then the Cambridge Analytica and lot of other stuff came out. And Zuckerberg admitted screwing up and said they would clean up the mess. They built big teams to do it. But just ignored them whenever decisions involved loosing cash. Due to which we get multiple whistleblowers and never ending leaks from within FB.

Twitter, Reddit and Tiktok arent leaking as much but its just a matter of time, cuz you are right they all do the same thing.
Already now that site gives me significantly better results for certain queries (try searching for something along the lines of

Warning: it seems to be a one person thing and my experience is that results might differ somewhat from week to week.

Edit: someone usually point out that SEO spammers will arrive shortly. I say that if SEO spammers start optimizing their pages by making them useful, lightweight, readable and without most tracking and ads I see that as a win.

It's not a zero sum game, remember that value is created by inventions and improvements. If 10 people 10 years ago would have bought stocks in amazon and kept them for 1 year each, then sold on to the next person, and the last person just holds them 1 day and cashes out at basically break even. Then all of these 10 people have made money, and that's because because amazon is more efficient at something compared to the competitors.

The losers are not the people who bought the stock "high", all stock owners won, the losers are the companies who lost business to amazon because they were less efficient.

So everyone can win except those who are doing things in a way that's not efficient or not up to the latest standard.

The end goal is progress, to eliminate unnecessary work and constantly move forward to other more valuable work.
I didn't get the same impression as you about the author. Especially later points sound like they played games with good writing and most points are just "many games" points.

Personally, I have seen and played games with 100 hours of playtime - none had a story/narrative of 100 hours (edit: most of it was "filler" aka gameplay without much narrative/story).

I also agree with many parts of the article regarding bad stories overall, despite playing some games with good stories - or stories I felt were good when I had little exposure to video game stories.
Just because you can contrive a pairing that’s less efficient to compare doesn’t mean it’s a bad test for colleagues.

If you make good music you can throw a couple tracks towards a small, local label and stand pretty decent odds of getting signed.

Getting on a tiny little label with some people you like isn't going to be enough for it to be a career, but it's definitely a lot of fun and can be creatively enabling.

I’ve been working on an IDE for music composition https://ngrid.io. Launching soon.
It's great the author has found success and carved out a niche. However it's quiet a stretch for them to speak as an authority, to assert truisms about video games. Several other commentators have great counter examples. From memory games like The Last of Us, Brothers, Life is Strange and Disco Elysium.
NSLog goes to the system console; printf does not.
It’s about the same as building a startup I’d say. Luck plays a huge role (and there are lots of people trying to divine rules extrapolated from their lucky experience to help you) but I’d also say the music (product) really does need to be incredibly good for you to make it. But maybe it isn’t needed initially as long as you get feedback and develop product market fit for your music, but that would be considered very uncool in the music industry.

I envy the fact that you can read music so well! I'm the opposite of you: I play by ear and I am mediocre at reading music.

I started piano lessons 9 years ago when I was 27. I had a background in marching band where we were not allowed to carry sheet music with us on the field for 4 years in college

I think that experience with marching band really forced me to develop my ear and learn to memorize music. Also I was terrible at reading music so I used my ear (which also wasn't that good) to fill in the gaps.

Eventually I became proficient enough at this that I could just listen to the other saxophone players and play what they were playing. I didn't know anything about keys, chords, intervals, or anything. I just played what I heard because I had no other choice.

Perhaps putting yourself in similar situations would be helpful. For example, I'm now a keyboard player in a band and I have to be able to learn a song that I've never heard at a moment's notice. That kind of pressure would force anybody to develop their ear because sheet music is just not as useful in that kind of setting.

Ask HN: Protecting against Password Manager getting hacked
I am thinking of using a password manager. I am having trouble to trust these managers. My fear is that a password manager becomes a single point of vulnerability.

Here is an idea to protect passwords.

Say I want to store the password: ykT%mK#5 (just an example). Instead of storing it as is. I would apply the following algo:

1. Reverse letters

2. Add character at 5th position (1 based indexing)

So the stored password becomes: 5#Kmd%Tky (added letter d)

The above is a sample algo. But I think this it is easier to remember algo (It is like your own simple encryption function). One can have different algos for different categories e.g Banks, Email, Github, Office, etc

Question: Does this strategy make storing things in Password Manager more secure in case its compromised?
The same thing could happen with any other form of concurrency. In this case you could wrap the two statements in a transaction with the appropriate isolation level. Not sure what it is called — read consistent? Snapshot?
I'm not sure why this is downvoted. The quickest (perhaps only, if the timeline is short) way to comply with any US vaccination mandate is the single-shot J&J vaccine, which is basically totally ineffective at preventing Covid after a few months according to a recent VA study. But due to some weird quirks of the US vaccine approval process it's treated as equivalent to two shots of one of the mRNA vaccines and meets the vaccine mandates when being one short into an mRNA course would not, even in reality it's more like being partially vaccinated with one of those than fully vaccinated.
On one hand the author complains that niche info is to be found just on niche websites, drowned in the millions commercial websites and apps used by billions of people. And he complains that the niche info is not accessed by many people.

On the other hand, he envisions the internet of 90s with Geocities and most websites being personal catering to a particular niche.

But if the Internet today was like the internet of the 90s, it would have been an empty place since the billions of today's users are not interested in what the few Internet users were interested in the 90s.

I too missed the early Internet (the first time I used Internet was at University in 1998 and by 2000 I had home Internet which was quite a thing in my poor country.) but I don't think is feasible to have it now.

I liked the early Internet because most users were literate both in the technical and classic ways, they were helpful and each one of that had a particular interest in something. Information sharing and communication was quite a thing.

Today most of the trouble is not that information is scarce, it is that you have to filter interesting information from junk and the signal to noise ratio is very poor. In the 90s the signal to noise ratio was quite good.
> You can host more than one domain per ip.

Yes, but some things become tricky:

- SMTP reputation is related with reverse DNS of your public IP

- reverse-proxying TLS-encrypted trafic relies on SNI headers, which not all protocols implement

- some protocols entirely don't have a virtualhost (domain) notion, like gopher or SSH

Overall, it's not so easy and simple. Sure i don't care that IoT devices don't have public addresses. To be honest, i'm firmly against IoT as a dystopian nightmare (good luck breaking into your home when your "smart lock" fails). However, public addresses and symmetric bandwidth are very important politically speaking, because they ensure that everyone is given equal opportunity to publish information.

Before the Internet, we had mostly asymmetrical communications. Newspaper required considerable resources to setup, and radio stations were (and still are) government-approved because there is limited channels available... so people could only consume information, not spread it. The Internet did away with this scarcity by having all IP addresses created equal, and everybody having as much upload than download speed (before xDSL).

Internet was the first network where everybody could create content and actually practice what some people call "freedom of speech" for a marginal cost. If you take away public IPs or introduce asymmetric bandwidth, it's not the Internet anymore: you are creating yet another passive consumption network where big corps and nation states tell you what to think.

I personally think asymmetric DSL is the worst that happened to the Internet so far. It's created the idea that there's different hardware and connectivity for clients (we the people), and for servers (fancy machines in datacenters)... two different classes of devices if you will. Nothing could be further from the truth, but this manipulation by the telco industry gave birth to the centralized hosting hellscape (GAFAM) that we know today.

I love how that is the default assumption when international companies often just screw the law outright and then try to obstruct both court decisions and their enforcement for decades.

It's my impression that the more you want money for things or your family, the more you'll succeed in software engineering, because it can be awfully dismal and you almost never see the human impact your drudgery serves. I don't really care about things much compared to any of my previous colleagues, and as such there's no amount of money that can compel me to do a programming job I've learned to hate.
Unified logs are an overkill API that isn't particularly well-suited for general purpose use like NSLog is. It's really more of something Apple uses themselves that they decided to throw over the wall for third party developers to adopt, but very few have done so due to its strange interface and goals that don't match what most app developers want.
That's a pretty common beginner's trap, to have your motivation be to release music rather than in creating music itself. For basically any beginner you need many years to get to the point where that should be a consideration. Your main motivation should be fun and enjoyment of making the music. Ironically this is what actually differentiates the greats from those that struggle: the former make music primarily for themselves, the latter make music primarily for others.
Stories in opera are worse than in novels. Good opera is usually paired with woefully poor story. The whole point of the story is to provide basic context to the songs.

Consider Turandot. The story is bad to the point of being objectionable, and whatever is left verges on gibber. And yet, without it, a song like Ho una casa nell'Honan is lessened because there has to be at least some reason to care about why this guy has a house in what sounds like a badly corrupted pronunciation of Yunnan.

Care to elaborate on your comment to those who are not in the know? Did the Aztecs not burn scripture? I don’t know much about Mayan and Aztec history and culture, but I visited Yucatán recently and it sounded from guides like there was a lot of original Mayan culture lost in the mixing of the two. I was also told, but don’t know if it’s true, that the human sacrificing was actually an Aztec practice that got introduced in the mixing and not an original Mayan practice.
No remote code execution is allowed on the web. You can download binaries and run them, but not in the browser's context.
This isn't an "appropriate constraint", because dynamically constructing format strings is a thing that normal programs can and do do. StaticString exists due to various limitations on the os_log APIs and it's somewhat amusing that you're trying to spin it into some sort of "known" fact that everyone should follow.
> Can you ELI5?

There was a time when the Internet was not divided between producers and consumers of content, but everyone was an equal netizen with publishing capabilities. Then came asymmetric connections, and datacenters, and the modern hellhole we all know to well.

It's never too late to act: many "community networks" are doing an amazing job to promote selfhosting and hosting cooperatives.
For DNS specifically, CNAME responses applying for the whole domain name instead of a specific record type was definitely a mistake in hindsight. It's just because of that decision that we can't have CNAMEs at the apex, which definitely is in the way in a bunch of situations.

Regularly check on meta, saw the announcement, and figured they'd change the name so they can transfer the .org and .ai names to the main company. Didn't expect them to just shutdown the team altogether. With their May/June updates (where they started to track and index beyond just papers) I thought they were actually onto something.
There is no average CPM that can easily let you calculate revenue from AdSense from view count alone. It’s often cited by youtubers that their individual rates vary vastly: https://www.businessinsider.com/youtube-creators-say-ad-reve...

I can totally see that happening. And then it's 'oops we leaked all your kids audio', 'our ml researchers are listing to your kids audio to improve ads that will soon play on your tape recorder', etc.
Both ideas are interesting! The first one might be more bang for the book in terms of profits vs. effort to implement.

> but a fault with people who either want an easy scapegoat for their real or imagined predicament and want to shoehorn everything into a single, easy-to-blame box, or people who suck at reasoning.

So, you are putting the blame on people who can't put the blame properly? Everyone has some notions of "who is to blame for current bad situation". In this instance I agree with you, now after finding solution - what can I do about this? We put the blame very easily, but finding solutions is hard. That's why most people stop at finding someone to blame, then say "why don't anyone do something about this".

Reason why I don't "do anything about this" : no one listens to my opinions and solutions I can accomplish by myself are mostly illegal. If I want to accomplish something constructive, I would have to convince many people to change themselves, but this is probably the hardest thing to do for normal people and I'm worse than normal people at it.
Genius! I feel the File System Access API[0] has a lot of potential in bringing data ownership back to the users (instead of being held by some server) but it's very under-utilized atm.

I think any other politician caught in the act like this would immediately comply.
NSLog takes dynamic strings just fine. Arbitrarily constraining it to only accept StaticStrings would break valid Swift programs. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to it, but it's certainly not something that can be done without thoughtful consideration of the side effects.
God, this annoys the crap out of me. People say I write novels in my emails, so I tried breaking things up once for an MBA. It resulted in a dozen or so emails that when concatenated would equal the "novel" they'd have originally complained about.

Lesson learned: MBA's seem to value incomplete communication, and email headers over a condensed explanation of what's actually relevant.

Getting a teacher will without a doubt help with both of those things. Learning to play the piano is like trying to summit Mt. Everest while blindfolded. Technically speaking, you can do it alone but it's orders of magnitude easier with somebody guiding you. Sometimes all it takes is a nudge in the right direction. Other times they need to tell you specifically how to execute or understand an idea.
Have you seen the insane studio and production value of MKBHD?

I definitely can't work out the budget of a youtuber either, but there is money to be made.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if Mr. Beast is actually giving away wads of cash and expensive cars on his channel? The only TV show I can think of that gave away more money was when Oprah gave everyone in the studio a car.
I remember this from back in the day. It felt way ahead of it's time.

IIRC it originally had a single unified world, which was massive, and you could build stuff in it. It seemed almost endless. You'd just walk and walk and walk and keep seeing new things that people built.

Activeworlds is what I think about when people mention the metaverse. A cool concept with great execution that ultimately ends up going nowhere.
