I'd say that it's central to the topic as it illustrates the problem perfectly.

Marketing is a dialogue between the producer and the user/prospective user. If the first response to someone trying to be helpful is "No." then that dialogue has been essentially shut down immediately and neither side is going to learn anything.

No one who wants to understand the other side's needs is going to respond that way. So they're showing that they have no interest in marketing what they're working on.
No, we’re not gonna buy your shitty SAAS just to parse some .pom files.

Javapocalypse – The Java Dooms Day
That was actually my first reaction when I saw this video. The graphics are incredible, sure. The people don't entirely escape uncanny valley, but they partially do, and everything else looks awesome. No question.

Then we get to the game portion of the demo, and... it's a half-step above a quicktime event. Now, look, yes, I get it, this isn't actually a game, and the game is an afterthought and not the main point. (By that, I mean the game itself, not the cars, not the agents jumping around, but just the underlying mechanics.) Still, consider where we've come from. Think Atari 2600 graphics and the sheer staggering number of orders of magnitude improvement in the graphics since then. Even if they did have tons of people working on this, all those people were working at levels of efficiency undreamed of in the 2600 era, by almost any objective measure you can imagine. (Even though we'd never be able to agree on one.)

Yet the game itself used in this demo is basically something you could fit on the 2600. I mean, the game itself, the mechanics. Obviously not the graphics, or even a facsimile thereof, but just the game's mechanics. It's still "point at the thing you want to blow up". No generalized conversation engine. No generalized music engine. If you'd like to be generous, call it an order of magnitude better than the 2600 could handle.

The gulf between the graphics and the games we have with them keep getting larger and larger, and it doesn't help that in a lot of ways the AAA games have been boxed into what the engines do. It's not just that "open world sandboxy combat" is the only game they want to make... it's that these huge amazing engines almost require that sort of game, because that's what the engines do. The sameyness of AAA games is forced by this graphics focus because trying to do provide anything but the simplest game mechanics with this level of graphics is impossible.

Which is why I've basically abandoned AAA and go indie now. The lower graphics capability turns out to be a positive advantage, because it means they can make games that aren't The AAA Engine Game.
This person obviously has some conflict of interest related to health insurance, maybe ties to lobbyists or campaign funding. What other explanation for such an asinine proposal could there be? Politicians, wisely, don’t make wildly unpopular proposals for no reason at all. Their job requires the exact opposite.
> I think marketers and developers need a stronger culture between ourselves.

I fully agree.

I've worked with an incredible b2b salesman before. He wasn't very technical, but he was always curious about what was possible and how difficult it would be to accomplish. Going to a conference with him as the technical expert was amazing. Customers were a gold mine for information. We always looked deeper to find the problems to solve, not the features to create. Learned a lot from him.

Sadly, I haven't had this dynamic since.

Since then, I've run into marketing departments. My issue with them is they constantly switch tools, want immediate results, and destroy site performance without any concern for the path of destruction they leave behind. And marketing is good at selling stuff internally as they are externally. As a result, few people in management care about how marketing impacts anything else in the company.

On the flip side, marketing is the first department to be stabbed in the back when numbers come up badly. It's not really a surprise to me they treat other departments as scapegoats pass blame to.

Things don't have to be this way. :(
Let me put all suggestions on this together. They should be fairly easy to implement and will enhance the usefulness and security of this feature:

* You should support HTTP HEAD request

* You should infer MIME type from language selections and set Content-Type header as much as possible. If there is none, the default shall be text/plain not text/html

* You should set `Content-Security-Policy: sandbox` HTTP header so people cannot use your service to do malicious stuff

* You should set `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` so it can be used in pure client-side JAMStack applications
Ask HN: How to start programming with Punched Card
Hi,

I would like to experiment with punched card. I wonder if there is any simulated environment so I do this?

Thank you
If they make a pattern of it they're likely to get smacked with punitive damages or a similarly large class action, see McDonalds coffee for a good example. If you write off the punitive damages as a cost of doing business the judgements are going to go up exponentially from there (assuming the next claimant's lawyer is smart enough to find and read the last judgement).
Go be cynical in the corner. Maybe your life hasn’t panned out all that well but stop injecting your pessimism into everything so the rest of us can have nice things.

I care to disagree because you just move one abstraction layer higher and again you will use sed and awk.

To move stuff to that cattle and to maintain cloud environments, to prepare k8s clusters and manage those. To create docker images or to maintain servers that are running k8s.

You still have AWS console and Azure CLI or GCP console and configurations that need to be search/replaced. You still need to parse logs to understand what is happening in multiple environments, which I would say makes it even more important to be good with unix-fu because you have to find that one broken cow to put it out of misery.

Those command line tools are still useful and used.

yeah that's not far from what I was thinking.
3rd party JS is pretty much unavoidable if your main source of income is ads. It's particularly true for almost all media pages.

That's of course not the whole web, but it's a huge chunk. If you do anything that does not require ad funding, you have a much easier time to do without 3rd party JS.
Software dies with its last user or curious historian. Open step is quite far from that.
I was going to be pedantic and say isn't that technically the Orbiter simulator. But I guess they'd also be doing stuff on the way up while it was attached to the rockets.
LZMA compression (used in 7-zip, XZ, LZMA2) is known as one of the best, but it has a noticeable drawback - it's slow. I tried to improve the decompression speed by removing excessive branching at decoding of every bit from the compressed data.

Decompression speedup from this patch largely depends on the compression ratio, more ratio - less speedup. Compressed text, such as source code, gives the least speedup.

That's the result from my Skylake, compiled with GCC. Please help me with testing on different x86 CPUs.

x86 (32-bit) - should work, but haven't tested yet.
Compiled with Clang should work as well.
Not an expert here at all but are you sure they’re not complaining because you haven’t implemented FB login? I know you don’t want to use it but given past experience here I imagine they very much want you to use it.

“Didn’t integrate it at all” does fall under “failed to properly integrate” after all.
I’ve seen some financial discussions about the large pile of cash that Apple is sitting on and what could be done with it. I would like to propose they publicly announce they will be putting a large effort into fixes and tweaks to all levels of their software, from iOS to especially the support documentation for developers.

On iOS, enough with this “it’s not a regression” leaving bugs that have existed for 3+ Major releases, while contracting featureitis.

Tim Cook has made it clear the future of Apple is services sales / subscription IAP, and they could really solidify their dominance by streamlining the ease of entry for developers, such as how convoluted App Store Connect is. I’ll give a perfect example: ASC on Safari doesn’t auto-fill 2FA code from iMessages, that works seemingly everywhere else.
Yet Apple’s stock still has a total annual yield of 3.5%. 0.6% in dividends and 2.9% in share buybacks + voting rights. That’s still a better deal than FB, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Square/Block! Only a little better than Microsoft.

Warren Buffett probably influenced them to be a shareholder-friendly company.

The buybacks and the dividend yield is a big reason why Apple has a 3 Trillion Dollar market cap —- which none of the other tech companies have.
Correct answer right here. It's also beneficial do be at least 100 million dollar company

I'm curious if you have any thoughts on doing the art stuff full time. I also have a mathematics background, and I have been working towards getting into digital art (not just generative art). While I work in software engineering now, having a more explicitly "creative" job has always seemed interesting to me. It seems there's a place out there for stuff like this, getting to consult with things like movie production and other art installations, for example.
Yes. Abductive reasoning is all fun and games, until one places believe in the "educated guesses": abductive reasoning is a technique to jump to ranked hypotheses, not to (theoretical, epistemic) conclusions - it would be fallacious to use it otherwise.

Sure, it is one key aspect of decision making, of the role of the bounded economic agent, of the analyst applying Bayes to give advice - of the gambler placing bets on a sheerly practical need.

Not only hypoteses of minor ranking can still be truthful and productive: sometimes criteria adopted for the computation can have largely accidental aspects ("- John won the lottery // - Pah, winning is so improbable // - Well he did"; "We selected a good candidate // - Mah, don't get me started about interviewers // - Well...").
First, there were already various capital transfer methods for the Chinese rich before crypto exploded (also, Jack Ma wasn’t really targeted to give up his wealth or whatsoever. Legally speaking any Chinese person can only transfer up to 50K USD abroad per year, and that’s the reason for the search after capital flight mechanisms, but that’s a separate point). Second, this could not be a particular reason why the crypto market would suddenly balloon 10 times in less than a year (why would Bitcoin’s value go up if it’s only bought/mined and sold constantly in exchange for fiat anyways, in the first place?). So yeah, capital flight has always been a use case of crypto, but it far from explains the market exuberance we’re seeing right now.
That's true only if the selection pressure on individual children favors largeness, right? On an island or without as much nutrition, it might be an advantage to be smaller, since you could get by on less food.

Now here's a startup idea: generate a RSS feed for any website.

Turkish has little structural or grammatical resemblance to Indo-European languages from the perspective of its main features (extreme agglutination and vowel harmony).

(Edit: reduced absoluteness, because lack of grammatical gender feature can be found in some Indo-European languages)
Hacker News has the invisible feature that it is very very fast.

You might not realize it, but Hacker News is also highly compatible with tablets. I post so many long comments with outrageous typos because I frequently tap out comments on my iPad or Galaxy or Fire Tablet.

How is it hard to upvote or downvote? I just click on the triangle and it is done. I've seen many interfaces where browsing threads is harder than HN, not many where it is easier.

In many cases the GUI makes things harder not easier. For instance on linux I can install a lot of software by typing

$ sudo apt-get install X

or even compile it from source with

$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

and that's often easier than fumbling with a GUI that almost works on Linux or clicking and clicking and dragging and dragging on Windows or MaxOS.
After reading all these news about this new vulnerability in java library log4j, I thought this old video was more relevant than ever. It's a very funny video about how the world collapse because of the dependance on java.
You aren't woke enough, thats a problem.
I extend to them the same default I extend to every random site maintainer on the internet: an assumption of basic competence until shown evidence to the contrary.

It is, perhaps, giving too much credit. Perhaps the average is lower than I think it is. But if it is, we would arrive at the same situation, because a developer that struggles below the average will struggle to maintain an RSS feed. We could anticipate them cutting whatever corners they can justify cutting to decrease their workload.
Not sure, How you are going to proceed with this.
Considering that the exact same demo can run on the Series S (1/3 the rendering power) with barely a visual downgrade shows that we will absolutely be hitting these visuals on Series X/PS5 as 60fps and temporally upscaled 4k. 60fps will no doubt be a major design goal of the engine, so even if their current “wow” demos are targeting 30fps, finished games will look quite close to this and absolutely hit 60fps. I agree that this is a marketing demo, but it’s a playable one and does a lot to answer prior skepticism about UE5. As end consumers, we can feel free to remain skeptical till we see the first fished game, but the aim here is to sell the engine to game devs and they are the skeptics that will need to be won over before any consumers will see finished games.
I think you're possibly thinking about this the wrong way. The story here isn't "noted communist magazine the Economist is trailblazing by writing about social mobility problems", it's "social mobility has become such a problem that even _the Economist_ is now covering it". This isn't a new concern, by any means, and at this point I would think that _most_ serious media has covered it; the Economist is just grudgingly catching up.

Note that they couldn't resist trying to find a bright side (the numbers are still quite _bad_, just not as bad as people think they are):

Scrolled all the way down until I found this example, you saved me a top-level comment.

Similarly, in yeshiva communities in the US men and women typically pronounce certain Hebrew vowels differently. I'm not sure what the historical context here is, but this always fascinated me. In any case, women and men speak in noticeably different ways about religious concepts, to the point where adopting the opposite gender's pronunciation stands out as "weird".

In addition to pronunciation differences, using more Aramaic and certain Yiddish phrases is male-coded in this community.

Public vs Private is not relevant here: A persons house is their personal space. Vivaldi forums is a corporate space.

You need permission to run a business, and the state will dictate how you run it. The same is not so applicable to a personal household. No one will shut down your house for making poor food, or discriminating against guests.
Exactly! There has got to be a billion dollar company in this if the UX for administering it was done right so it wasn’t a pain.

Little Snitch as an example of UX in this area is perfect as you can run it for a while first to see what is connecting to what, then start looking down everything else.
> where you are only talking to known endpoint everything else should be blocked

I just realized that neither the Windows Firewall, nor the Linux one (ufw/iptables at least) allow you to block based on domain names. They only allow IP address rules.
I vaguely remember some Sinclair computers doing stuff like that because they used cheap RAM chips that were ensured to be error-free on the entire memory-space (so basically binning) so they used the "good" half, but a lot of the time the "bad" half was also fine?
Having worked inside half of those, there's a huge amount of administrative waste clouding margin.

ACA admin caps provided some pressure on that (the first in decades), but the amount of money burnt on bad or incompetent ideas is still staggering.

The HBR article's note about patient monopoly within a geographic area being key to provider price negotiation is a good observation.

Provider consolidation was driven by other factors (stability, survival), but it's definitely shifted the balance in insurer v provider negoations.
It is pragmatic with a minor tweak.

Isn't there an ongoing debate whether or not IQ actually correlates with intelligence though? A skeptic could say that education focuses on mastering test-taking, so would naturally lead to increased test scores.
I'm not sure whether it’s silly or genius for this post to lead with “don't load 3rd party scripts” and end with “by the way we all need to unionize for this to work kthxbye”.
Fully agree! The point I was trying for is that dependencies have to be managed -- something I've been blathering into the void for a decade, now, without any noticeable impact. Maybe now I'll get those juicy consulting gigs... ;)

Small, Non-Trivial Projects: where you can try things and those things matter
The same thing happened to a friend of my dad. A long time ago, the friend was a British diplomat living somewhere like Singapore and he made friends with the two Japanese sisters in the next apartment. They used to have tea and chat and he helped them practice their English. Being good with languages he soon picked up a lot of Japanese from them. One day he got invited to an event at the Japanese Embassy and was excited to be able to show off his secret language skills. However, any Japanese man he spoke to would react strangely and it looked like they were trying hard not to laugh. He eventually got someone to explain that he was using “women’s words”, and the effect of a dignified English gentleman in a tuxedo talking like that was hilarious to them.
Some self hosted RSS readers do that. I use Miniflux and you can set css selectors to fetch original content. It does not work when the article is a link to something (like this thread on HN)
Does anyone know why one is protected with higher Java versions? I parsed the vuln as being solely in the log4j library.
While the question is not dumb, the answer is in the very first sentence of the link. So aking the question here is, yes, dumb.

I know nobody read the links anymore and react only to the title but, seriously, that’s worrying to not even try when you have a question. Writing the question to ask probably took 10 times more than clicking on the link and reading the first sentence.
Some people do it, but the maintenance effort is nontrivial.

“Chinese” was used
twice in the post; once in the informal (and usually hostile) abbreviation “CCP” for “Chinese Communist Party” and in “with Chinese characteristics”, a reference toa political motto of
the same party identified by the abbreviation, the Communist Party of China (CPC), who describes their system as “socialism with Chinese characteristics”.

So, yes, it's a reference to a particular political platform, not a nationality. It's no more ethnically bigoted than blaming a problem on the US Democratic or Republican party is.
A high impact product doesn't necessarily mean a money maker. I'll never make a cent off https://concise-encoding.org but I'd certainly like it to become high impact and make everyones lives better! And that requires some good marketing, which unfortunately I'm only mediocre at.
Does anyone here actually use Framer on their team? I feel like every product designer I knew was excited and curious when it came out, filling a gap between engineer and designer, but then it just...fizzled.

Figma continues to be the standard across my org overtaking Sketch a little over a year ago.
Devs optimize for how quickly you can get what you want done. fancy elements can be useful, but often can get in the way. For example, Amazon's site is pretty bland, but it's exceptional for finding what you want to buy, fast.

On the other hand, I think some devs just say "oh I'm not a UI person". I definitely think Hacker News could benefit from just making a few clickable areas larger, and more separate out (ex. Upvote button and title to have a bit more spacing)

Same reason people use CLI. GUI is good for having intuitive flows, and I love them since I use so many different tools and don't have time for full mastery of each one, but some tools like Git I still love the CLI because I use it so much I can get most things done much faster than using a GUI.
For now. At some point we're going to build proper water management and sanitation systems. What those are in the software world, I, as a swamp dweller, cannot say.
Good point, it is definitely not just Apple. I personally feel that a huge and 50+ year old company like Apple puts things in perspective a bit more and is a harbinger of sorts.

I wonder if future historians will refer to it when recalling this moment in time, or if this will be just another mundane tick up in the history of the economy.

The fact that it has nearly tripled it's market value in just 3 years is amazing to me and some what terrifying TBH.
>but the armed enforcers of capitalism.

They only care about capital, they care about maximizing their KPIs (which tend to have far more to do with protecting the state and/or generating revenue) and getting paid. Their KPIs only reflect protecting capital as much as trickles down from the elected executives who are ultimately at the top of the accountability (or lack thereof) pyramid.

If enforcement cared directly about capital dangers to the public and crimes of possession would be taken a lot less seriously than they are and property crimes would be taken a lot more seriously.
