I don't see apps that fail validation, and there are too many (shitty) apps anyway - more validation is good.

You've failed to understand your own problem. You're seeing lots of shitty apps. That means the validation isn't working because part of the validation process is supposed to make sure apps are of sufficient quality. So no, you don't see apps that fail validation, you see apps that should have failed validation. That's worse, especially when the same validation is apparently rejecting good apps.
Not by much, I'd bet. If at all.

The poster seems to have confused top-tier private schools and gifted programs. Read enough politician and C-suite and such bios and it's very clear what's going on. You practically never see "attended a pretty decent public high school—but was in the gifted program!" Private college prep secondary schools (at the very least—often it's private schools all the way) on the other hand are overwhelmingly the norm in that set.

It's kinda depressing as a parent. If you haven't scraped together 25+k/yr for elite prep school tuition (and, probably, boarding) all your "you can be anything you want if you try really hard!" is kinda a lie. Like, that's still much better than not trying hard and will likely improve your life outcomes, but, looking at the actual world, realistically... nah, sorry, you're probably locked out of a lot of options. There are de facto requirements, and we couldn't afford them. Sorry kid.

Similar story with The Arts. You start looking at the backgrounds of very high-paid artists of all kinds (actors, musicians, even authors a lot of the time if they're considered good and not "merely" popular) and you're likely screwed if you weren't at least one of: 1) born to a family that's already successful at that, or 2) had an expensive and very focused education starting before college. Lots of the successful folks had both of those things. Again: there are counter examples, and it's technically possible to get in if your parents weren't in the arts and you didn't start gigging/acting/attending-an-artsy-private-school by the time you were 12, but realistically you're looking at a serious uphill battle.

> Unfortunately, places with hard problems that haven’t been solved are also — inevitably — kind of dysfunctional.

I disagree wholeheartedly. Many companies (from big tech to fast growing startups) have hard problems that need solving, and they needn't be dysfunctional. In fact some high performing organisations have plenty of hard problems, as solving hard problems usually yield even harder problems to solve.

Sadly disagreeing with the premise makes the entire article a weak claim.
> the project, not for a specific person.

The project no longer exists. It was deleted. These people forking it does not give them the ownership of the project. The problem in the supply chain was solved by NPM rolling back the version. Github temporarily suspending his account could be attributed to suspicious behavior. These guys commandeering someone else's open collective and general community identity (hn handle, twitter handle, library name) does not solve any actual problem, and is clearly just an opportunistic way to boost their own standing in the community and financially gain off someone else possibly having a breakdown. Shameless and very unethical.
Absolutely no YouTube for our kids, just don’t trust it, not even their kids app. Too many stories of bad content.

Here in the uk we have the joy that is CBeebies and CBBC, so have iPlayer (and all the other kids BBC apps) on iPads for the kids.

The only other one we let them have free reign on is Disney+, I’m sure this will change for the older one soon.

Good grief. Outside of pandemic supply issues, eg, in normal times, a entity (gov, corp, billionaore), would go to a large producer, and place an order.

I assure you, they'd pay less per unit, in bulk, not more.

You think they'd buy off of ebay?! Amazon?

No! They'd bypass the little guy, and get a large run done themselves. And yes, it isn't a big deal.

If they had to, they'd put out a RFP and get corps to submit quotes on qty whatever.

Here's a secret... people love money. If someone wants a large order of something, it happens.

Even in the pandemic, if govs want anything, gloves, masks, they get it well before you or I, before corps.
That's the one. The Domino is magic. And the after-market accessories are nice--the 3D printer people have gotten to work on this. I have an imperial conversion depth gauge for mine and stopped eyeballing millimeters.

It also cost a thousand dollars. But it's the sort of tool that has the obvious design and affordances to make me happy to pick it up and use it, and the things are unkillable--they last twenty years at a minimum. Festool is the sort of company that recognizes that customers are for life and they do a lot to support customers, too, even with thoroughly out of warranty stuff.
Interesting in other social ways as well — Groucho was allowed to (literally) "cat-call" the attractive female guests on his show.

I suppose there was a sieve that their guests went through but it is still fascinating to see the parade of suburban Los-angelites: housewives, people with strong ethnic ties to the "old country" that had yet to be melted into the pot that was 1950's America. Who knew door to door salesman really was a typical working class occupation?

You can buy social capital by wash trading the price of the NFTs up to where they are interesting, then giving some to folks with social capital.

Only you don’t give them an actual NFT, you give them a sponsor fee that they use to buy one of your NFTs (thereby further validating the interesting price).
There’s quite a few iOS devs who ditched storyboards and XIBs years ago in favor of full code. I did several years ago, largely because Interface Builder became so much worse after it was merged into Xcode. That, and XIBs and storyboards suck to have to deal with merge conflicts on.

I still use XIBs when doing personal Mac Cocoa development though, because the experience there is still decent (though not as good as it was). Won’t touch storyboards with a ten foot pole though, they slow down IB too much and generally aren’t a good fit for desktop UI paradigms.

OCaml is pretty close already to what you're describing. The OCaml ecosystem fully embraces imperative programming. And if the syntax of OCaml is problematic, then perhaps ReasonML (https://reasonml.github.io/) is what you're looking for: a curly-braces syntax for OCaml.

My first desktop Mac was an 8500. I bought it when I was a student and took out a loan to buy it at £3500 second hand. Unbelievable how cheap computing power has become in such a relatively short time.
The other day, I wanted to build a version control for data. I googled and naturally I found DVC and some other existing options.

What I don't understand about them is they have a built-in pipeline. it is strange to me, because I would use airflow to handle CI/CD and keeps the version control simple. Mixing things together seems to be against "Do One Thing and Do It Well".

Are those pipelines function like git's pre/post commit hooks?

> I understand what you're referring to but if Prime Video's UX is any indication, content trumps software product quality in this market segment.

Netflix consistently made their UX worse, they started far beyond Prime Video, nowadays, it’s a tossup. I canceled Netflix for that reason alone.

I mean known in the crypto community. Surely a random person in the street has never heard of most crypto celebrities, but that wasn't my point.

The monkey NFTs that you mention are a perfect example, because they are the best known project after cryptopunks. Massive media reach, real world celebrities and almost all crypto influencers are in.

That's what I mean when I say they didn't come out of nowhere. These high value NFT projects come from massive marketing machines to create the hype. You as rando can't just draw something and sell your NFT for a million, it doesn't work that way.
This is what I was thinking too. That and "That's the way we've always done things" organisations where the default answer to anything is "no" even after hard proof of a better way of achieving something. It's exhausting when you can just work somewhere with more autonomy and less bureaucracy.

I think Netflix is worth it for the comedy specials alone. Which was the only reason I ever got HBO back in the day. The original shows I watch are just icing on the cake. I think they would have more mindhsare if they released episodes weekly like Disney+ it's easy to forget how much you like a show when you only watch it one day a year.

Now I have HBO for south park and then my family got into some of the DC shows. I'm cancelling after this season. Then turning it back on when Titans or young justice comes back.

I want to make a script that suspends all my subscriptions every day, or cancels every month if youre not allowed to suspend. Then automatically signs me back up when I want to watch something.
The main problem is you would need a reliable way to see every service's catalog without an active account.
> the deliberately lean protocol will easily allow for this extension, that’s the cool part of Wayland.

That's a strange way to look at it. It's more like the Wayland folks decided that basically everything of import is out of scope of the protocol. This way any graphical system built on top of Wayland is ridiculously inelegant, but hey, at least there is no responsibility on Wayland itself.
"Hawaii" is not just an English translation of "Hawaiʻi". The Gvoernment officially refers to the state of Hawaii as "Hawaii", and the largest island in the archipelago as "Hawaiʻi", as you can see through this National Parks document detailing the naming conventions:

https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/575333#:~:text=T....

> The name of the state,
Hawaii, is not written with an ‘okina between the two "i", because our Statehood Act in 1959
used the spelling "Hawaii." An Act of Congress is required to "correct" the name of the state to
Hawai‘i. Thus, the name of the state is Hawaii, while the name of the island of the same name is
Hawai‘i.

Oh I never thought this topic would go on HN. Playing music arcade games is my guilty pleasure. These arcade games always have creatively designed input devices that blows PC and smartphone games out of the water. Check Dancerush (DDR but you step on a touch screen), Wacca (With a round display area and round input panels) and Ongeki (Gacha and some light bullet hell mixed in) out.

Apart from Museca mentioned in the article, there is also Beatstream from Konami that got shelved after only one update. That game's form factor is ideal for touch screens but it's a shame it never gets released on smartphones. Maybe the cost of making custom background videos is too high to bo justified.

And kudos for Sega for at least exporting Chunithm and Maimai DX even though the former is a old version and both got a lot of pop songs removed due to licensing. I'm lucky to live in one of the countries these are exported officially. Otherwise I will need to go to Japan every fow months to get my fix.

There is a community that managed to make those Sega music games run on a Windows PC and they have built those custom input devices out of acrylic or MDF, complete with custom PCBA, firmware and reverse engineered drivers.

It's pretty ironic that the best players of DDR include Americans and Koreans that presumably started their career on those smuggled machines.
Ask HN: Could Netflix allow you to rent a colocated DVD player that streams?
Hypothetically Netflix rents you a multidisc DVD player at their HQ and rather than mailing you the DVD they insert it for you and you can stream it back to your device. You pay more for more simultaneous DVD and faster swapping speed. Then they can effectively stream the full library of content and get around streaming rights. Is there any obvious reason why this wouldn't work?

Technically, I believe Pi-Hole works over Wi-Fi as well: that is, you can have the Pi Zero running Pi-Hole connect to your router via Wi-Fi. Then all your devices connect to the Pi Zero for their internet access.

I could be mistaken though; only over installed on a Pi 3.
Google has to intentionally inbox a tiny fraction of spam, otherwise they'll never get corrective feedback on false positives, because basically nobody looks in their spam folder. Also, they have to permit a teensy fraction of stuff that would normally be temp-failed at SMTP time, for the same reason: otherwise it would be impossible for address and network reputation to improve. So sometimes if you see something completely ridiculous get inboxed, it might be that they are just trying to get data.
You can always convert in the DB when selecting if you want the date. Dates/times in general are kind of horrible in all DBs and programming languages so I don't think using unix seconds (or milliseconds, etc) is obviously wrong. It's kind of like storing strings as plain bytes in the DB, it's not what you'd do by default but it's not completely wrong.
> For example, though you can "acquire" locks, it's really just flipping a bit of state that already exists somewhere more than it is granting you a new something.

That's true of literally every resource acquisition, including malloc and fopen. It's all bits in memory.

And IMO, the defer model is forcing a conceptual baggage because of it's strict definition of when it fires. You can always simply return the object and keep the resource acquired into your calling function, pass the acquired resource to another thread, etc. Defer enforces much more of a code structure in order to guarantee cleanup.
70% of people who bought Bitcoin bought it in the past year. With these statistics, it is very likely that more people lost money through Bitcoin than gained it.

Someone has to pay for all the Bitcoin mining around the world, so it's probable that Bitcoin as a whole is net negative. That is, the average investor loses money on Bitcoin.

> US equities have intrinsic value

Really? My impression is that many US equities in 2022 are more like Reddit up/downvote scores than a reflection of intrinsic value.

Which isn't a bad thing in my opinion, by the way.
Pachinko would be legally gambling in the United States and the loophole they use in Japan doesnt exist here.

There are elements of Pachinko that make it unattractive for casino's to mess with. All the machines would be licensed tech from Japan (cost), managing the balls (if you actually distribute them out) has costs associated that they dont get as many scaling advantages that Japan would get, the machines go through more wear and tear than slot machines do. Also its my understanding you redeem the balls to get your prizes (though some just print out tickets now?), so you would have to create some kind of redemption mechanism for the balls (and also create anti cheating measures agains this).

It's just a bunch of work for what doesnt appear to be much gain. The main appeal to the game is that it has more illusion of skill than slots do. And the gambling authorities would have to figure out what the acceptable win/loss rations are on the machines.
I remember going to several hill forts as a child, don't think I felt deflated, it was interesting to compare them with later castles.
> From my point of view as an entrepreneur, I approve.

Sorry, I don't believe you here. If you were trying to get, say, a loan from the bank you've done business with for years but would only ever get vague replies and could never speak with a human, you'd be rightfully angry. There's nothing special about being an "entrepreneur" that makes this less problematic.
CNC is the one thing I have trouble getting my head around. It's cool, it's absolutely cool. But it doesn't fit my conception of "woodworking" very well. It's more of that "wood machining" side of things, which I respect but I'm not into.

I like the Domino because it makes easier a process I know I can do through slower means. I have used a dowel jig, I have used pocket holes, I've chopped mortises. But usually I just want to put two pieces together so I can clamp them and glue them and get on with the next thing. But most uses of CNC with wood seem to be "do things a person can't really practically do in a home shop" and I don't dig that.

Always wanted a way to (have GCC?) send a call graph to graphviz. A reduced version indicating calls across files would also be useful.

Submitting your first kernel patch
I switched away from Gmail a couple of years ago – I have gotten the impression that spam is only still a thing for Gmail users.

Gmail's spam filters would break horribly for me every few years, either flooding my inbox with spam, or filing obviously-not-spam emails in the spam folder.

With Fastmail, my experience is that all spam goes to the spam folder, and only a few questionable newsletters get put in the spam folder by "mistake".
Some Google engineer probably thought they were very clever when they applied "the algorithm" to translated titles.

Pretty fucking draconian some of those rules, if you ask me. In games and works of art it's not uncommon to have a title longer than 30 characters. Nevermind when you have different editions or things that are related to the main title.

So how does this actually work? Why is 'Life is Strange: Before the Storm' (33 characters) on Google Play? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.squareenix...
The opinion that reimplementing AoC in two languages was not a good idea resonates a lot with my experience.

Every year, I see people quitting their AoC run with frustration, because they don't measure their effort and try to complete each puzzle daily. The usual scenario is that, at some point, they block on a problem and spend longer than they should, or they can't solve the problem because they have some other thing to do. The next day, they try to solve that puzzle and another one, and as work piles up, they start doing it joylessly to catch up. After a while, it doesn't work anymore, because people are stressed, because they code poorly just to finish rather than taking pleasure in their craft. The strict calendar can become deadlines that remind of work woes.

For a person not used to sport code, AoC can take an hour to solve, sometimes more. Over the whole advent, people can easily work for 30 to 40 hours more than they are used to. In terms of work hygiene, this is not good. Not everyone has a week's worth of work to use just before the end of year.

I would advise people doing AoC to time their effort, and not hesitate to stop a puzzle and write it down for later in the year.
There’s really no good reason to stick your neck out at a dysfunctional place. It’s like that for a reason. You might get grit from the experience, but more likely you’ll just become a bitter cynical husk. I know, I worked at Oracle.
