They're typically just easy ways to submit early work, work in progress, etc to a conference with relatively little commitment.

I'm in the biomedical informatics world generally, and for my conferences it's a one-page abstract that describes your work, if accepted after peer review (which, there's a 90% acceptance rate) you then make a poster with more details about what you did and then stand by it for about an hour during the conference and answer any questions from people walking by. Then I typically just have links to the abstract and PDF of the poster on my website.

The poster doesn't prevent you from doing anything further... so, if you keep working on it, you can turn it into a talk or paper. And a lot of companies will pay for your travel to a conference if you're presenting, so it's often the lowest-effort way to get your company to pay for you to go to a conference.
Check out GameClub, for those old great games. They buy the rights from developers that don’t want to continue, then do the maintenance for newer versions of iOS and Android.

This was exactly how it started for me. Even if you don't switch your sleep cycle it can still be useful to keep in mind. For example if I have to get up in the middle of the night to take an early-morning flight and have 5.5 hours to sleep, I'll plan to wake up after 4 hours to avoid being wrecked the next day.
I tend to think you are right here and that worries me. Because if we cannot get back to “normal”, inflation is going to keep rising. At some point the virus is going to kill the economy, too.

My high school self thought that "dark matter" was just two three-dimensional objects/galaxies with some offset in a four dimensional cartesian space, influencing each other with gravity.

Galaxies would attract each other and "pool" to the same 3d space. This one would have an associated galaxy with less mass or at a greater distance. For the opposite case (galaxy present there, but not here), it would mean that we should see areas in our space with more gravitational lensing than is warranted by the local matter.

I made a simulator (dumb 4d cartesian stuff) back then, and have been waiting for someone to find gravitational lensing out in the middle of nowhere, so I could see if it matches the expected shape.

I would post links to my cool geocities page containing the source/graphic I made in QBasic, but it's been dead for a couple decades now. Maybe I can find my palm pilot that has ranting notes about it.

edit: Why downvote. I'm fully aware it was just a dumb idea from high school. I really enjoyed physics at the time, and really enjoyed making simulations. I'm don't honestly believe this is how the universe works.
Developers would be interested in taking 30% and not interested in even trying Apple appstore, which btw sets product quality level guidelines. As a result, user experience will suffer. Those who prefer apple as it is will seek apple-level quality but wouldn't find one, because apple format is now equal to a regular one, and there is no superapple. Apple instead implicitly suggests to just charge apple users more in IAPs and for apps, when a charge is related to some electronic type of value. Whatever price developers see fit, there is no practical limit.

What you are basically trying to do is visiting a vip club (user-value wise) and then making it open to every crap dj out there, because otherwise it's "unfair". Why don't you just go to a regular one then? It is the same as this vip would turn into in a heartbeat. And where should other members who liked it go after that?
You're already on the list for visiting and contributing to a site called "Hacker News".
Could there be a civilization there that harvested all of its nearby dark matter?
Since it appears most galaxies have a substantial amount of dark matter, it appears that that is the more normal condition.
Not clear how the stats are obtained, and from what data. It would probably be useful to match each subscriber to r/poor with a non subscriber that is similar, i.e. similar account age, similar numbers of total subscriptions, etc. If instead the "control group" is all non-subscribers to r/poor, I could see accounts that subscribe to nothing other than r/all, or throwaway accounts, etc. skew the entire analysis.
Don't forget that you need a Mac.
Not specific to developers. It goes like this: It's a recession when my neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when I lose mine.
We just went shopping after being out for a while. The prices were incredible. The availability was scarce. We’re stocking up on cat food since it’s harder to come by. Meat prices mean buying chubs and vacuum and sealing. Costco hot dogs for lunch is becoming an increasing thing for me.

Recently there was discussion[0] about Apple devices dominance amongst teenagers ~85% mobile devices in US. Apple is heading towards market domination in a couple of years - in US first but in some European countries trend seems to be catching as well.

With company's total control over locked down hardware, software, software delivery and browser (and other, fresh endeavors like identity management aka AppleId, payments etc) it will be very interesting time and quite a show to observe.

I read this earlier today and I have no problems with vaccines, I just need for my country to roll them out without:

- deception

- mandates, especially fake indirect ones

- arbitrary emergency powers

- inconsistent enforcement

- "temporary" rights suspensions

- forfeiting responsibility and accountability

- internal passports

- lockdowns

- class hate narratives

Among a few other things. This professor's letter is a symptom of an inflection point where the fabricated narratives around the pandemic are popularly no longer tolerated. I would advise policymakers to take the opportunity to cut their losses and walk their bullshit back, as if they just double down, I would go so far as to predict internecine conflict on a level unheard of in decades. Maybe that's what they want, but I would be surprised.

I'm just not persuaded the chattering classes apprehend what regular working people are prepared for right now. Imo, our "civilised" societies have about 6-8 weeks of opportunity for the people who are behind the above litany of issues to stand down and walk some of this back. If they don't, I'd place my bets on a summer of utter bedlam that turns into several years of hot conflict. I'd even speculate there are probably about 20 people in America who if they just said the word, they could mobilize a real armed insurrection that was thousands if not tens of thousands strong in a matter of days. It's that nuts.

I don't think most people get what a volatile tinderbox we're sitting on right now, and I'm not sure someone who still watches TV at all can appreciate the severity of how young working class men are interpreting all this.

This letter signifies a change in popular sentiment that has been underway for months, and I sincerely hope policymakers take heed of it.
To be fair I've lost over half my investment in ARKG in the past year.
So what you're saying is you've got a bunch of views and most of your programming code is spent on classes that ensures they do the right thing?

I'm not ruling out that this is an illustration of the problem with classes ending in -er.
This is the second time you've made this claim on the thread. Nobody knows what you're talking about. What side loading are you referring to? You mean taking advantage of the dev loophole by asking users to build and sign your code every 7 days?

I used to live in that area, right near that King Soopers—I hadn't heard about the cause of that fire, thank you for pointing out the investigation into it.

Regarding stores, this may seem a bit out of touch, as I assume their prices are probably more expensive and I also don't know what their stock is like, but a friend of mine recently opened a new (small) grocery store[0] downtown[1]. I'm no longer in the area so I've never been there, but perhaps they will have some better in stock or better in price than some other options.

Anyway, just wanted to pass along in case it may help you.

When did they go away? We've got toilet paper labeled in English again here in VT/NH (Spanish is not widely spoken in this region, to put it mildly), but there's certainly been shortages of a wide assortment of things. At the grocery stores, they've been the limited to reduced brand choices and workaroundable sorts of problems.

Elsewhere, things have been weird. Target opened a new site recently and the clothing selection was slim. At various points I the last year it has been hard to buy all of the following:

1) a dish pan
2) car wax
3) shellac (now back in stock)
4) .22LR ammunition (ongoing)
5) cabinet grade plywood (recent development)
6) a roof rake (for removing snow from your roof, obvs. This was new for me too)
7) EN 417 fuel canisters for backpacking stoves (severe and ongoing)

The hiccups have been here all along, it's just that they're hitting things everybody buys.
It's an old article, but still mostly correct. Several developments have changed the landscape over the past decade. The Chinese have pretty much taken over the battery manufacturing industry. As a result, the quality of many low-production battery series has gone down dramatically. Some cells that once had a 10-year shelf life will now be completely useless within two years.
A more positive development has been the improvement in power electronics. Quality consumer electronics will now often include power conditioning circuits so the "cut off" voltage from a battery is no longer relevant. The batteries can now continue to power the device until they are completely discharged.

maybe stop supporting apple's exploitive practices then and not buy their products. At this point, they're second tier on phones and laptops and dead last in desktop PC. I guess they're still first in watch and earbuds but that isn't saying much.
> It's hardly a winning VC pitch.

Strong language is coming, skip my post if you're delicate.

They're cowards. Plain and simple. They want a "safe" investment with a pre-defined path to an IPO in 2-10 years so they can cash out. Makes me fuckin' sick. We could have a third alternative to iOS and Android, but it won't be easy, it won't be fast, and it won't be cheap. These VC vultures don't have the goddamned balls to put significant amounts of money on the line with the prospect of absolutely no return ever, and that's why it'll take a miracle straight from Heaven for us to get a third option - because these people have no real grand vision and no damned backbone.

No one on Planet Earth is going to convince me that the best the human species can do is Android and iOS.
I doubt more than 10% of people who buy crypto are "experts". In the sense that most of them can't explain how a blockchain works (even roughly), what problem it's really supposed to solve, and what the actual difference between BTC and ETH is, let alone other chains, DeFi, NFTs, etc.

The reality is that it's very, very difficult to understand crypto in any real sense. And that's without considering that whichever side of the argument you lie on - crypto is a weak proposition insofar that so is gold and cash.

After a long time - Yesterday, I noticed a lot of empty shelves in poultry and produce at Whole foods. Although no similar sight was to see at Trader Joe’s
This would be a weird thing to do, which is obviously why they made it optional in the end - it's such a large amount of money that it creates a massive incentive to switch or undercut apple's business.

Most teenagers use an apple, but it's not impossible to switch. In the 90's, almost all computer users were on PC's, and a big problem for apple was a lack of software offerings on their OS to compete with windows. It seems like some executives are interested in short term profits to the point that they are comfortable creating an environment that would seriously disincentivize use of apple products and the math on that is nuts - if it's no longer profitable (and I can't imagine it is at a flat 30% increased costs) then you remove the service.
No; but quite involved in running another blockchain...
From the Parcel CSS page : it does 'tree shaking', which automatically eliminates unused code. Not details on what that implies, though. Tools like PurgeCSS (used by Tailwind pre-v3) comb through the HTML for matching selectors, but I'm not sure if Parcel does the same thing.

Anyway, as others comments said, these kind of tools nowadays are more 'transformers' than mere 'minifiers'.

Per Wikipedia it aired in 17 countries over 35 years and counting, so it seems relatively widespread to me.

Sounds like there's going to be a glut of over-production in March.
Ok, but checking in on twitter photos of empty shelves isn't investigative journalism, and the few people who might be in the position to know are saying its not like March 2020, e.g. "There are some issues with out-of-stocks, but it tends to be a situation where if you go to a store on a Tuesday night, maybe something's out of stock, but by Wednesday sometime it's back in store," Rose told NPR."

The point is, the article would be less sensational and more informative if it could point to some kind of systematic data source--even one they collected themselves. But they don't.
The Pi4 can boot from usb, so if this is a problem then at least there is an alternative. And a better alternative I might add, as the usb bus speeds are much faster than sd card reads/writes.
You've copy/pasted this same comment 7 or 8 times on this page, on every top-level thread! (Ironically, warning about the propaganda of others) Don't do that on HN, thanks. Maybe write your own top-level comment instead of spamming on everyone else's. I guess this falls under "Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity."
As someone who sells software in the App Store I tend to agree with you although I'll add that for the majority of us it's 15% not 30% and they do handle a fair bit more than just the payment processing.

Lojban has long been on my list of things to learn, ever since I read about its spiritual predecessor Loglan in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. There's a small collection of Lojban-related software at https://www.lojban.org/static/resources/tools.html.jbo, and I'd like to get into it.
It’s worse because people might actually use it. I currently use WhatsApp for my main contacts that are on Android.
Developers for 10+ years abandoned Symbian, BlackBerry, webOS, Windows Phone and everything else and instead focused on better hardware, software and developer APIs (iOS and Android) and led other companies to die because either their hardware wasn’t good enough or consumers were abandoning them because they couldn’t download their favorite apps.

So maybe Apple did something “right” to deserve millions of developers and billion+ consumers to chose them instead of others?

It’s awesome to be in 2022 and act like “Apple doesn’t deserve anything”. Look at last 15 years of mobile history and what Apple has done to this industry.
Again, what I'm saying is that I don't think there's much good being thrown out. I don't know who foone is, so it's possible I have a biased sample somehow (maybe I don't visit at the right times?) but almost every tweet I've seen linked on HN has been false or misleading.
Apple wants 30%

Developers want less

Customer don’t care, and want what Apple is selling.

Developers feel it’s not fair because they think they are losing money but customers seem happy to pay for Apple’s premium service.

On a thread a couple of years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20600873) it was mentioned that the UTF-8 encoding scheme can be cleanly extended to 36 bits, so even "utf8mb7" would be a possibility.
The proponents of the law claimed they were doing it to fight obesity, to reduce weight.
But considering that a per ounce metric is probably the wrong thing, and they didn't tax the worst drink, the milkshake, they didn't really do this to attack obesity.
Dark Matter is a working title for about 85% of the stuff in the entire universe.

What it is is the question posed by its name but its existence is generally agreed upon. Many apologies to any "English is my second language, please have mercy on my internal parser" for that last sentence.

Certain properties of galaxies implies that there is more matter in them than is observed directly. The extra stuff could be clotted cream but then I would personally be able to detect it from billions of light years away. We can only really say that gravity is a thing that we think works like ... this (cue pretty piccies from some Holywood films and Hubble etc). Gravity is an emergent property of matter according to Mr Einstein.

Take a large collection of matter, say of the order of 100,000 light years across, like our Milky Way or Andromeda, which is spinning and has a measurable distribution of matter. You can predict how it ought to behave. For example it ought to spin at x or be distributed as y etc. However, measurements show that it doesn't. So you take the observed parameters and run your models and equations backwards to get the actual matter that would be involved.

It turns out that over four fifths of stuff is currently unobservable, which is a bit embarrassing.

A galaxy without Dark Matter is one that doesn't have stuff that we don't even know what it is that it lacks or something. Assuming that stuff is reasonably homogeneously distributed across the universe, this is a very odd ratio of observable to non observable stuff indeed.

Hope that clears that up 8)
> > Apple has a longstanding history of intentionally ignoring or degrading open web technologies that could compete with its incredibly successful, lucrative, closed app store.

Actually, iPhones initially ONLY supported these open web technologies, but users insisted on native apps and and App Store, so now it is what it is.
Truthfully, I don't think that has much to do with it. There is a real cultural difference between the MS ecosystem, Linux or no, and the traditional open source ecosystem.

I was simultaneously an open source advocate (using FreeBSD 3.0) back at the point when NT4 was supposed to take over the world, and using VB and the Microsoft JVM. Back then and still today there's a lot of cruft with the MS ecosystem.

What I'm getting at is if you look at truly advanced software and what might be called "engineering" practices, there seems to be no correlation with marketing hype. Cosmos is to me the most advanced cloud NoSQL database out there feature-for-feature. I think Citus is the coolest sharded database in its particular space. C# has been pretty advanced relative to say Java for quite some time. Windows systems engineers did in fact know quite a lot, despite all the crud they had to put up with the endless parade of new MS features. The best ops person I know that built a huge unicorn that runs on Linux uses Windows as his laptop when everyone else uses Mac.

There's a bad habit in tech news of looking at the success of a company and equating it with the talent or technology choices of the engineering team. Very often, successful businesses provide enough padding for unsophisticated trendy technology to fail without consequence to the business. Likewise, many low-margin, crummy businesses are only around because they have high tech talent which can compensate.
It was always like that, and on Android too. This isn't even lock-in, you have to move your files after buying new SSD, or relocate your documents after installing a new OS. It is a lock-in in the same way `apt-get install coreutils` is, because you can't just move to Windows and expect the same workflow.
Who decides H1B is predatory? Based on my personal experience,I don't think it is. H1B is boon for many people, who came here, got educated and started contributing to the local economy.

It appears your pro immigration stance is for people, who are less educated and more likely to provide cheaper non tech services. To summarize, your stance is not for pro or against immigration, but to serve your own interests like everyone.
There’s nothing wrong with excel (as long as you stay below the 64k limit). People use it because it works. That is almost tautologically close to whatever it is that software aspires to.

Excel has gotten more people to write code than all other programming environments together. And they’ve often enjoyed doing it. It’s a fantastic success story.
