If that's the case, the developers aren't really competent. You can always dynamically link the version you want and pretty much any distro has packages covering a good couple releases back because not all software updates at the same time. This is very normal in Linux distros.

And, even then, the game publisher can (and many do) provide all those libraries together with their title. If you pack a couple gigabytes of art, you can have a couple megabytes of custom binaries.

> If you have to worry about banks banning you

Banks ban you for joke comments in bank transfers or anything that alludes to drugs, sex work or gambling. Or for transferring remittances to your parents in a way some algorithm deemed to be "structuring" or "money laundering for terrorists".

PayPal bans you for whatever the fuck their AI decided on a whim.

I've been on HN for over eight and a half years now and help requests or complaint blog posts are routine here. One thing that's common is support staff that is either unreachable (Google) or doesn't have any freedom to reverse AI-caused bans / only is allowed to post canned responses (everyone else). The only way to get issues with big tech resolved these days is to raise a stink here on HN, even Twitter shitstorms seem to fly under the radar more and more.

"Kiko" comes from "O que é que eu tenho a ver com isso?" (Something like "What's it got to do with me?").

> I doubt it, since outages and their effects are nuanced.

Your point here deserves highlighting. A failure such as a zone failing is nowadays a relatively simple problem to have. But cloud services do have bugs, internal limits or partial failures that are much more complex. They often require support assistance, which is where the expertise of their staff comes into play. Having a single provider that you know well and trust is better than having multiple providers where you need to keep track of disparate issues.

Great writeup. I don't know how big crypto/blockchains will get, but I do know 1) a lot of smart people are betting on it, and 2) I've learned not to confuse the limits of my imagination with the limits of reality.

So I've made a relatively small investment in crypto across a couple of dozen coins as an experiment. I am cautiously optimistic in the future, assuming it'll be 5-10 years until viability at any practical level for a mainstream audience.

(Accidentally down-voted, apologies! I would upvote to fix, but can't... Update: fixed)

Agreed. Arguably, not using an existing cloud service is a red flag on any new hires. AWS being the primary, but experience using GCS or Azure are at least viable skills, even if your business is AWS-based.

But the "fad-based-development" meme is not going away any time soon. The incentives in the business are built around it (really! No one want's to work on a boring old relational database solution any more). In the old days it was 4th generation languages, RUP, XML and Function Point Analysis... today it's functional programming, SDKs, big-three cloud PaaS experience or (shudder) block-chain.

I think back to my much younger self, when I thought that technology was something to be mastered to solve real-world problems, and I laugh. Little did I know the real problem to be solved was to figure out how to solve those same-old business problems but with the technology of the season (Kubernetes, GraphQL or ML).
Plagiarism and art theft happens in the real world too.
No - it's that if you talk to these "vaccine-hesitant" friends the idea is that the IMF and others want something bad enough to happen (COVID, Cyberattack) so that they can tackle wealth inequality, climate change, the like. Cyberattack simulations is because COVID didn't work as well as they thought.

Which I think is a very cynical take - but I'm not exactly thrilled with some of the statements of these organization's leaders.
Yeah, my thought is not specific to this scenario. Indeed multi-AZ is a low cost and probably good idea because you often have a shared service management, control plane, and cheap bandwidth between things. Of course, when things fail they often ripple as may be the case here. I don't think clouds have their blast radius perfectly contained and they certainly don't communicate those details well.

One incident I recall was involving our GCP regional storage buckets, which we were using to achieve mutli-region redundancy. One day, both regions went down simultaneously. Google told us that the data was safe but the control plane and API for the service is global. Now I always wonder when I read about MR what that actually means...
Safari is indeed decent considering it is housed in such a locked down system. But how often did I wish to jsut be able to open the browser console on an iPad. Probably possible if you jump through 101 hoops, but I really think this should be possible by default.

Bertrand's Paradox (With 3blue1brown)
Tbh a lot of the tech is business tactics. Pumping so much stuff into the browser makes it an impossible task just trying to maintain feature parity nevermind compete on quality.

Then I don't understand the complaint. Apple will be upset if the app store doesn't share revenue with them, however.
Ask HN: How come iOS has such a bad user experience for text editing by default?
What I mean is that auto-correct often silently changes the second to last word thereby making it hard to notice. For me this introduces a significant amount of spelling errors that I only notice once it's too late. Disabling auto-correct in the keyboard settings unfortunately doesn't get rid of this behaviour.
Often when I pick a suggestion it also adds an unnecessary space character.
I fully expected this to be silently improved with iOS 15 and I just can't wrap my head around such problems existing in the open for so long. Overall these editing warts give an unusually unpolished feel for such a basic task.

Meanwhile with Googles GBoard I don't have these problems, get better suggestions and a much broader vocabulary which is very useful for entering words by swiping. The only reason I use the default keyboard is that GBoard for some reason makes long-hold-for-cursor buggy for me.
Could somebody please explain, how come such a sophisticated PaaS provider as Heroku was not able to properly set up multiple AWS availability zones for their own services? I would think that if somebody had expertise to do it flawlessly, it should have been them.

I don't understand much in cloud devops, I just judge from recurring HN comments saying left and right "your startup should have configured up multiple AZ" when some AWS region is down.
It's not just privacy we need to be worried about. It's the manipulation of public consciousness which I believe is the most alarming.
Apple loves AAA games if they're on the iOS store and bringing in billions USD per year of microtransaction revenue from teens and compulsive gamblers. They can't get that by supporting native APIs for non-App-Store desktop games.
> The company did agree to cease and desist from future violations

Phew! Glad that's settled.
An OS is different from an application for selling, installing and running other applications.
>It's not really an accident, Apple strongly dislikes AAA games. If they support any kind of game development it's purely indie in nature and not high fidelity.

Except that's not true at all when it comes to iOS. Back when Epic and Apple actually got along, it was common for Epic to be part of iPhone keynotes showcasing the graphical capabilities of the new GPUs.

I think Fortnite was also regularly featured on the App Store back when it was actually available there.

Obviously they have a much larger interest in supporting gaming on iOS since every game sale brings them 30% of the cut, but there's no general AAA game hatred at Apple.

My guess is that they cheaped out in having redundant PSUs to get you to use multiple availability zones. (More zones = more revenue)

Even a single PSU shouldn’t be an issue if they plugged in an ATS switch though.
That would be my guess as well.

People who frequently travel/change residences or have bases in more than one place seem to get banned or blocked by all kinds of services.

Regardless of the intentions of the people designing these systems, I’d argue this is textbook systemic discrimination; you face issues only due to being different enough in the “wrong” way.
That's probably a good idea. If you want social media, go to the local mom and pop social medium in town here. Their artisanal activity feed is the best!

More seriously, at this point the options are:

- ethically-challenged social media full of relatives and friends
- unintuitive federated platform with no family but plenty of otherkin furfriends
- being left out of conversation and events you care about

I can't say to most people that choice 1 is excluded without being written off as unrealistic.

Japanese has a similarly maddening expression for non-native speakers: "Kekko desu." (けっこです。) For example, if you have coffee and someone asks you if you want milk and sugar... to decline, you might reply "kekko desu" -- which means "it's fine as it is." It's tough to understand when to use it correctly! Still now, after more than 10 years of learning Japanese, I have memorised a few key situations when it is correct/safe to use the expression.

'twitch' in games typically means latency-sensitive, like a competitive FPS where being 10ms faster to shoot than the other guy means you win the round. Many games can handle 100ms of latency no problem, so running at 50fps instead of 60fps is no big deal. On consoles those games typically run at 30fps to begin with, which is at minimum 16ms more latency than playing at 60fps on a linux or windows PC.
Where are you getting the comments from? It seems to be a very, very tiny subset.
I would definitely try to file a charge back with my bank, they sometimes exercise their own discretion on egregious cases like this and might be worth a shot.
That is standard business practice by now if you want to influence competition or use it to further your own goals.

I think you've answered your own question: probably never. Because whatever company would apply said commoditized data science would have the same incentives as Tinder and the rest.

So except for some "open source" or otherwise "community-driven" effort, I don't think we'll ever see it.

The issue with setting this up in your garage is that for such an app to work, you need to have many users. And to have many users, you have to spend cash on marketing, etc. So you have to be able to get that cash back somehow, and then some, for your efforts.

> I've only had a DC fail once when the engineer was performing work on the power circuitry for the DC and thought he was taking down one, but was in fact the wrong one and took both power circuits down at the same time.

This is all local scale. Your setup would not survive a data center scale power outage. At scale power outages are datacenter scale.

Data centers lose supply lines. They lose transformers. Sometimes they lose primary feed and secondary feed at the same time. Automatic transfer switches cannot be tested periodically i.e. they are typically tested once. Testing them is not "fire up a generator and see if we can draw from it"

It is cheaper to design a system that must be up which accounts for a data center being totally down and a portion of the system being totally unavailable than to add more datacenter mitigations.
VirtualBox is a horrible way to run games of any kind. The driver support for graphics is miserable.
Card disputes are mediated by the card networks and will absolutely work on debit cards - in this case it’s a clear example of paying for a product and not receiving it so it should be an open & shut case.

Chargebacks on credit cards may have more protection granted by the banks or the law, but the basic level of disputing a transaction is available even to debit cards.
I take the dismissive stance you're talking about when dealing with anti-vax, flatearthers, and qanon types. I'm not above that.

I think one quote from the article shows how even though the author has a pretty good understanding of English already, he doesn't understand the depth to which your mother tongue permeates your thinking system.

"Still, guess what, nobody has issues understanding one of another region, or even from a Switzerland canton. Italian is phonetically one of the simplest languages on the earth, and is full of redundancy."

Now, I don't speak Italian myself, but this is the complete opposite of what you'll hear from pretty much any youtube polyglot who talks about Italian. In fact, the conclusion I've gained from them is that Italian dialects are extremely difficult for native Italian speakers from different regions to understand, which is precisely why there is a standardised Italian today. The same can be said about Mandarin Chinese, and to a lesser degree French, German, etc.

This kind of undermines his central thesis, which is that English is broken because native speakers don't speak the language that's taught to foreigners. In reality, what's broken is that languages are taught an idealised version of a language that's technically correct, but don't then supplement that with actual language as it's spoken by real people.

I had this same problem with Mandarin Chinese - I'd listen to the example dialogues from the textbook and understand almost nothing. I'd then read the text in Chinese (characters not pinyin), and understand it completely. And those audio dialogues aren't even real speech. To actually get myself able to comprehend conversations, I had to start watching hours and hours of TV dramas so that my brain started to get used to the language that's actually used, not the language that's taught.

The author does kind of end on this point, the necessity of listening early, but it seems almost like an afterthought on his premise that English is somehow broken.

Sailing had always been on my "someday bucket list," but I kept putting it off since I could never make the time to take the week or two off to do the course.

But once I started learning, it was so much more deeply satisfying than anything else in my life, that it immediately became a top focus. Before I'd even finished my captain's license, I had already hit "buy it now" on an ebay listing (admittedly reckless and not recommended, but I couldn't wait).

That being said, boats are floating money pits (the rule of thumb is that you spend half the boat's price again, every year, in maintenance and mooring) and take a ton of upkeep, so I think it's only viable if it's a major piece of your life and you're willing to devote considerable time o it. Otherwise, it just sits there, losing money while accumulating chores.

I sold mine during the first lockdown, but I'll absolutely get another someday, once I'm ready to wrap my life around it again.
