You can still believe that a project which becomes a shed is desired by an audience, however niche, and not care as much about getting popularity, which gives you an excuse to keep working. You can let a project that you still get enjoyment out of consume the rest of your life. It's scary that the thing you willingly do to get away from obligation and 9 to 5 work can be at the same time the most fulfilling and most debilitating thing you do.

It's even harder to detach when your shed is your idea of "making something out of your life", when you imagine the alternative being years of wasted potential suppressing your life's true desires. Don't people always say to never put off what you want to do right now until it's too late? But for someone unable to detach, I'm still not sure if remaining dispassionate is worse than the chronic issues that arise from lack of sleep and similar from never giving up and earning the label of "tenacious".

It sure looks like that is what you are saying:

It seems like if they repeat anything enough - anything - eventually people of all political stripes take it as assumed fact.

As for vouching - thanks! Since I haven’t said anything politically polarized, I can only assume I was flagged by people who are.
I find Google is really good at taking projects that work and building the infrastructure around it to keep it working.

They suck at innovation though.
The Blog Is the Program
The premise of the technology is not adding more information to the image. But rather realizing that the image may have a description that is a lot smaller than its file size suggests; then it becomes a matter of rendering it using world-aware encodings. The resolution may appear higher but it is actually a filtration of the original data. And there’s nothing to say that simply because the current technology is overfitted to their present-day datasets, that such a filter (that is actually useful for common images, or enhancement by leveraging known/ few-shot other examples consisting of the same target object) cannot exist.
Yep, marginalia for sure! It's great. I will bookmark it this time :x
Artists very often thrive when constrained.

Programming used to be an art.
It keeps the HTML about as clean as it can be, more often than not. Many of these classless CSS frameworks you can substitute arbitrarily without ever changing the markup. Which can be very useful for small static sites with hand-edited HTML like the Old Web people used to bake.

I certainly appreciate that "Old Web" feeling from the time before CSS when Browser default/built-in stylesheets were more opinionated and tried to do nice things without forcing you to do all of your styling by hand. Classless frameworks can feel like a good throwback to that era, and a useful compromise from today's browsers' awful default styles and the sorts of CSS frameworks that include everything and a kitchen sink and are designed much more for "apps" than just a clean document full of information.
"allocgate" is actually a meme name that we purposely gave to this API change. In reality it's not a big deal and that's the superpower that a language v0 has: you can make breaking changes.

As for the builtin interface type, why get locked into one particular implementation when you can have all of them by leaving the choice to the programmer.
You may want to downgrade your ideas of what the tech could do. No networking, no radio control of any kind, no real time clock, no battery backup, no WiFi, no app or web control, very limited graphics, no memory card boot, not fast enough for most applications that needed an ADC, nowhere near reliable enough to run for long periods unattended.

And expensive. The basic £49.95 kit would have cost the equivalent of £200 today. Add 16K RAM and some I/O and the price was more like £400 - which is well over what most people would spend on a box that might turn some lights on and off.

It's pretty easy to do something useful with a Pi. You'll probably end up with a mess of wires, sensors, and relays, but the core stack is fast enough to run a web server and to control useful peripherals.

Compared to a ZX81, the Pi is a supercomputer. Literally. It's equivalent to 80s era supermainframes. But super cheap. So of course you can do far, far more with it.
You might like Dart better then.
Whether the focus is on graphics or computation, I expect.

The word "consent" appears from where? Is this another US-AU English divergence?
Right, and they get there of a decomp pass on totally untrusted input over the network. This is why it's so crazy that apple has this huge attack surface.

My own suggestion. Ascii only messages if contact is not in address book or is a contact you've communicated with in your message history (however long you keep that) up to 1 year. Once you reply these untrusted saudi contacts can send you the gif meme's.
No. Lots of programmers hate it. Very common reason for new hires quitting at an XP shop I worked at. I expect that's why the author qualified the statement with "if both pairers can handle it".

Note that your comment also identifies a key value of pairing (if you can stomach it). When the model your are building is undocumented/implicit and can only be constructed in your mind by careful solitary thought, then you have a weak system design. But a pairing session can only succeed if you make the model explicit. So pairing has to start with constructing a shared model of the work (hard). It turns out, once you can share a model between two people verbally, turning that knowledge into documentation and/or refactoring is relatively easy.

To the the individual programmer, this can seem like extra (wasteful!) effort. Unfortunately, it also means they are likely to make another inscrutable addition to the pile of Jenga that is clear them in the moment, but will be opaque to all next Monday. Mind you, if your management is running a ticket mill and doesn't value design or documentation, that is the right thing to do.
lmfao of course theres a "use rust" comment on hacker news
Agreed. And it's actually not an American phenomenon, but a global one (as long as it needs to be listed on US stock market). The model basically is to remove IT functionalities from branches and congregates all IT power (think DBA/DevOps/etc.) to HQ so that you only need to maintain one single big IT department. In the middle of this HQ will also try to replace custom solutions by one single solution that works for all branches/departments. The branches still need to maintain a small IT team but essentially they are just configuration pushers.

Then it outsources to Eastern Europe.

I mean - regressive taxes are bad. And this situation is essentially a regressive tax bundled into your power bill.

Those with less means are forced to continue buying power from utilities that are faced with shrinking customer bases, and which have high, long-term costs (Building power plants ain't cheap, and the costs to amortize the initial construction can't just be waved away because "there is more supply"...)

Does that mean utilities aren't also angling to make the most of the situation? Of course not - they are businesses.

But it does mean your black and white approach isn't really useful here - unless you're fine with poor people getting fucked. Maybe you are.
This saved me once to enable me to install my own updated tools on an outdated centos (as non root user). Really nice!
Palestinian Arabs are exactly who I'm describing in the previous examples. They are free to become Israeli citizens at any time and those are the positions they end up in when they do.

Palestine has rejected every two state solution proposed for the last half century. You're regurgitating ignorant nonsense. The ruling parties and majority population of Palestine are VOCALLY genocidal when it comes to the Jews, but you'd rather ignore that and accuse Israel of subversively carrying out a genocide against people it has in its highest levels of government. Then you have the audacity to accuse ME of bad faith. How many Jews are in Palestinian leadership positions?

I couldn't care less what Noam Chomsky says or thinks on this subject, he's one of the worst ultracrepidarian clowns in contemporary history.

>One 10x engineer is what, 300K total comp?

>If you can find them, 10x are an incredible value.

Efficient market hypothesis implies that this arbitrage shouldn't exist, either because the 10x 300k total comp developers you found aren't actually 10x, or 10x developers cost much more than 300k (either because employers are clamoring for 10x developers and bid up their salary to 10x regular salary, or that they're so in demand that finding/recruiting them is expensive enough that it massively increases the cost).
As climate undergoes significant shifts and certain regions become more or less habitable, there will be wars over resources. It's essentially inevitable that conflict will arise under such circumstances. "Large refugee streams" is really an understatement.

The US Department of Defense has done risk analyses regarding this exact topic. Here's one that got some media attention: https://media.defense.gov/2021/Oct/21/2002877353/-1/-1/0/DOD...
What does "heart of a robot" mean? If it just needs to be remote controlled you can do that with simpler hardware like arduino. Do you need computer vision? Jetson has good support for that. Do you want it to be for edge computing? It just has to relay info to a server.

What is your project? The Jetson is probably the best choice. Saying GPU is very vague, there are GPUs that are good at decoding video for instance that might not be useful.

That's interesting, I understood the opposite is happening[0]:

> High COVID-19 vaccination rates were expected to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in populations by reducing the number of possible sources for transmission and thereby to reduce the burden of COVID-19 disease. Recent data, however, indicate that the epidemiological relevance of COVID-19 vaccinated individuals is increasing. In the UK it was described that secondary attack rates among household contacts exposed to fully vaccinated index cases was similar to household contacts exposed to unvaccinated index cases (25% for vaccinated vs 23% for unvaccinated). 12 of 31 infections in fully vaccinated household contacts (39%) arose from fully vaccinated epidemiologically linked index cases.

I don't know that "doable" is exactly the right adjective. 3 shots from a bolt action rifle at a moving target ~260 feet away, with 2 of the 3 shots on target. It's not impossible in that timeframe, but it's not easy either.
Does the company have product market fit?

If not, don't worry. If you do, don't worry. Perfection is the enemy of good enough.

You want to hire developers who will take your vision and turn it into good code even if that means rewriting your code. And every developer will rewrite your code to make it their own. They will also always complain about your code.
> is that OBS and screen recording simply do not work

That is not true (at least in sway). You need the xdg-desktop-portal-wlr installed and running for it. Gnome and Plasma have similar desktop portal utilities, but I'm not sure they fully support the screen sharing wayland extension.

Ask HN: Anyone else thinks that Relationship Hero is using job posts as ads?
I feel it weird that this company is often posting jobs for “love coaches” who are quite unlikely to read HN very much.

Plus when you click on the link, you get a mission statement and description of the service before the job description, which is not totally unusual, but still makes it possible to bait potential clients rather than applicant prospects.

The glaring inappropriateness of those posts is also a testament to how good the moderation is on HN. Very few posts on the front page feel like ads at all, except for those ones…

IMO, these definitely fall in the growth hack dirty tricks bin…

Lots of great answers so far. Consider also that a CTO of a 5 person, 15 person, 30 person, and 100+ person (etc) company is not the same role, despite having the same title. So I think if you start at 5 and stay CTO as it grows, it is pretty natural to feel like you are always fighting to adapt -- you are. And likewise if the role begins to outgrow you, that's par for the course. In general when I think of CTO I don't think of them as programmers really, but more as leaders who play a role in recruiting, landing deals, setting (broad) technical direction and thinking years out. E.g. "Should we build or buy this thing that will take 2 years to do, based on the market, our competition, and who we have at the company." I think its natural to lose your core development skills. You can always get them back if you want. But that will be a different job of course :)

Good luck!
My observation is merely that every additive change breaks the ability of new code to work with old compilers, and that it would be really, really weird to have a system in which you bump a major version because old code continues to work, but bump a minor when it would break or something.

If you "aren't proposing" that, then all you seem to be saying is "I think sometimes major versions should signal that they break compatibility with old code and sometimes they should signal that they maintain compatibility with old code because of some never-promised loss of reverse compatibility with new code on old compilers" which ... sounds uninteresting, unreliable, and frankly terrible from the standpoint of anyone who wants automated tooling to be able to make decisions based on signals in the version numbers (which, while not 100% reliable, is still a huge win over the old days of "versions can just be whatever, man" imo)
Now you have a double indirection. Worse, the handle probably already references dynamically allocated memory. So that’s two dynamic memory allocations per “safe” handle. Which might be perfectly acceptable for non-critical programs, but it is certainly going to tank your memory usage efficiency and thrash your CPU cache if scaled up to millions of handles.
Yes. And I forgot to mention in my original post, I only just realise very recently, in a lot of cases every single results in the first page are now Ads. Every single one. I have to scroll down to below the fold to get the result I wanted.

That's not a fair strategy. Say if this developer has published several reasonable apps before this, that strategy would forever cut them off from updating those as well.
Of course that is possible, but they also released their aerial infrared video of the event to the prosecution, which was not previously known.

I think that Swift Playgrounds is a really neat idea (especially the books thing).

That said, I don't really have much interest in it, for myself. I am stuck in the dark world of Xcode.

What I would like (and have submitted the idea to Apple as a feature request), is to have a playground as an Xcode project target. I want to be able to link in modules and resources, without editing the playground file by hand.

Which one focuses which way? When I think "workstation", I picture people doing CAD, video editing, and GPU-accelerated simulations and number crunching, in addition to people compiling code.

Well, multiplication is commutative. ;)
You're describing a death spiral, like has happened with car insurance in some places. As the costs on those still in the market go up and the costs of getting away from it come down, you can expect more and more people to go for the exit. Which sounds great, except it eventually leaves the few who can't get out stuck with the bill for the whole thing.

I suppose the question is what we expect to make of the electrical grid in the future and how to pay for it. If the goal is to stop having a grid, the death spiral seems like a reasonable way to get there.

The player-missile graphics were hardware sprites, albeit more cumbersome to use. So far as I know, sprites as you know them -- reprogrammable two-dimensional bitmaps whose x and y coordinates can be set with hardware registers -- didn't even come about in a non-cost-prohibitive manner until the TI-99/4 in 1979. (Edit: The Intellivision had similar capabilities around the same time. The first Atari 8-bit computers were also contemporary, but used a more advanced variant of the 2600's technology involving per-scanline display lists, which approach would be used also by the 7800.) The designers of the TI-99/4 and TI-99/4A certainly did coin the term "sprite" as it's used in the computer graphics sense.

Even arcade games of the era (late 1970s) tended to use framebuffer displays. The mechanic of the invaders slowly speeding up as they were picked off in Space Invaders (1978) stems from the fact that the fewer invaders on screen, the faster the CPU could blit them all.
