The year is 3000. Your lawyer, trained by entertainers and TikTok clips, fails to stay focused because the courtroom isn't gamified. You're suing your bootcamp accredited doctor for malpractice. Too bad exams were eliminated.

OK, that's a take on one end of a spectrum. The article does have some valuable examples. I'm excited that things are evolving. But, sometimes, learning is tough, requires perseverance and offers no quick reward... perhaps similar to the challenges it may be applied against.
I agree this could have compelling uses.

Useful? The fair 1099 software developers contract [US]
Hi HNs,
I've been developing software under contract for a while now, and probably have signed dozens of different contracts and put forth a few of my own also.

I'm not aware of a good open-source popular balanced 1099 software developers contract. Do you know of any?

When you buy a house (at least around Seattle),
it's prevalent to use a contract created by the NWMLS (the Northwest Multiple Listing Service). This contract is pretty balanced, and doesn't obviously favor the buyer nor the seller (IMO).

Why don't we have something similar for ourselves, something that addresses both developer's and client's concerns in a way that attempts to be balanced like many MLS contracts do?

Are there other developers or clients, or lawyers in tech who think this would be valuable or interesting?

Please let me know if this is interesting to you.
My email is in my HN profile.

Only when syncing photos to iCloud is enabled and the photo is being uploaded. That’s the critical bit.

If it was operating without cloud access I’d agree with you, but it wasn’t so I don’t.

It only makes sense to do this in the context of encrypting the cloud - otherwise it’s a pointless move that hurts PR.
I've worked as a software developer for 8 years so far. I have yet to meet a single fellow developer who is privacy-conscious.

Your query returns 5 rows total. The EdgeDB query returns all movies that Zendaya is in [1] and, along with each movie, the first 5 credited actors.

Also, it looks like your version also does implicit joins (like EdgeDB), but I'm not sure how they would work in that style.

[1] Or maybe only movies where Zendaya is in the first 5 credited actors; I'm not sure.
That's why I mentioned boarding schools, you don't have to live there to send your kids to it and also it might be good for them, nurture independence and a lot of experience with a foreign culture while also giving you flexibility and easing the burden of child raising.

> If you destroy your productive capacity but money supply remains the same (which is honestly a bit odd, since real prices are always relative), then you get substitution effects that don't affect the general price level, only the price levels in particular segments of the economy.

Because the destruction of capacity somehow didn’t affect the substitutes? That’s magical thinking.

There’s a shortage of new cars => used car prices skyrocket (alone this accounts for roughly ~1.5 points of the cpi increase). And no, it’s not simply because demand is higher for cars, new car sales are still below pre pandemic levels.

> Inflation is really always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.

It can be one, and that is certainly a contributing factor here, but if you can see the obvious supply chain/shift in demand due to covid effects, then you’re just blinded by dogma.

I doubt any professional gamedev would reach for ECS. No major game engine has a finished ECS system yet. You would have to roll it all yourself and shoehorn it into the engine somehow.

Unity has not shipped DOTS. They actually removed it from the Package Manager last year. Joachim says it has a bright future, but I suspect it will never ship in Unity itself.

Epic has nothing in Unreal yet, though apparently a few months ago somebody spotted some changes in repository that suggests one may be on the way.
Sure, but it’s not a huge leap to think it through. In hindsight they obviously should have waited until the cloud encryption was ready to ship at the same time.

They probably thought the announcement would be good for PR from the general public even without that and were surprised.

If you’re right that cloud encryption was never the plan then I agree what they did doesn’t make sense and they should have just scanned images on the servers instead of bothering with all the fuss.

Email gives freedom to choose the client software to the user. In an email conversation, multiple parties can be involved and they can use different email platforms and client software. Most of the email clients support the management of multiple email accounts from different platforms. All these are possible because there is a common protocol for emails and all platforms and clients just need to be compatible with the protocol. With social media emerging, communication patterns have changed and all communications are now platform-centric. There is no support for cross-platform interaction so there is a disconnect. This is happening because there is no common protocol and all platforms are working in silos hence the communication gap is increasing. To bridge this gap, we need to come up with a common protocol for all social communication.

Inflation is a great tool if the sign of being prosperous is how much you consume. You will definitely cause the net amount of things that are consumed to increase.

For the sake of the environment some deflation might actually be good.
I found myself in a similar boat until I started doing something that had a high community dependency that is also less extremely gendered. So, for example, biking and hiking are not gendered activities and a variety of humans do them. Foodie things, business things, specific crafts will also do this. Consistently appearing in them helps a lot. This is dependent on how “evident” your autism is though. There is a good amount of therapy that can be done to mitigate some of it, but there are also groups (fandoms for example) that are both less obviously gendered and also more open to awkwardness (like writing fantasy novels). Once you’re in an activity for the fun of the activity, friendships and the like also tend to form organically, like sewing seeds in a field and then allowing rain to trigger sprouting.

I know right! And before that I used Delphi from which the vast majority of the language patterns evolved! I still miss some of the wonderful power of Delphi, mainly that it was a decade or more ahead of it's time and had a community culture of quality well architected code with lots of free libraries!

I remember using 'WebBroker' in Delphi 5 and running it on Apache on Windows for a startup back in the day, it really was the best web framework I've ever used and I've used literally a dozen.

I've gotten quite interested in music lately and decided to try some experiments where I visualize various sounds and music in the frequency domain using algorithms like Fourier transform and variants such as Welch's method for spectral density estimation.

This works best on a device like a computer which is capable of 60 frames per second or higher refresh rate. Please also change the resolution in YouTube settings to 720p60 for best results.

Warning: these videos contain lots of visual movement (basically lines moving around like on an oscilloscope), please avoid viewing if you are prone to seizures. But it should be fine for normal people (the level of visual intensity is comparable to watching an action movie).

> you end up with nazis walking around if you don't have the ability to deter them.

In general this is required if you want freedom of speech at all, because while nazis are seen as bad by $majority_general_population today, that same $majority_general_population in 1940's Germany had their own ideals for what people with certain interests were bad. In theory, even if Nazis took over the entire US Federal apparatus today, they couldn't infringe on the rights of the citizens ands states as they did back then (at least not without hostile takeover and civil war).

The entire deal with CSAM being seen as bad today is that it comes from a belief that reducing and limiting the proliferation of digital imagery containing depictions of minors being sexually abused, it will hopefully hurt the profit margins of organizations that run the abduction, human trafficking, and abuse + abuse imagery production process, via reducing exposure and liming the potential customer base (while also hopefully helping victims heal knowing that fewer and fewer people are viewing said imagery). I'm no expert in whether or not this works, perhaps there's some studies that do qualitative research on this; but either way there's no doubt that E2EE directly harms the work of the likes of PhotoDNA which aim at actually solving the issue of file sharing / image hosting services being used for the proliferation of CSAM, whether that be for advertising to new buyers or simply the means that these groups end up sharing content.

So there really is a tradeoff people have to realize when they consider either side's stance; My point is that HN seems to be almost entirely one-sided on the side of privacy even if many safeguards are put in place to make it private while still enabling detection of abuse imagery, when I don't see anyone proposing more practical privacy-respecting solutions than Apple has proposed. Perhaps people thing CSAM is a fringe thing, but [0]

The next step is of course to vilify those who seek privacy, now that it's not the default, switching the rhetoric to suggest that anyone using encryption is surely doing so to hide illicit activities. Privacy becomes illegal at that point.
I think they'll understand it if you get them to solve a few Fourier series/transforms with sinusoids, and then with complex exponentials, and observe the difference in difficulty.

Yanis Varoufakis sounds interesting. Will check him out, thanks. Doesn’t align with my sensibilities at all/am generally allergic to anything described as Marxist, but the way you describe him and the misconceptions sounds worth looking into/I should challenge myself. I view Marx as more of a social analyst and a historian rather than an economist/a lot of what I understand of what he advocated for economically seems extremely misguided, even if his social and historical analysis had merits. But I’m open to a deeper look and a more modern take.

The best of both worlds; we have a police state that only after the fact accepts accountability and never in a way that disrupts whatever it is presently doing, and yet we still can condemn the other police states by pointing to this same process.
I've come to like "service-oriented programming" we use at work (I don't know if there's a name for it). Basically, your code is essentially procedural, but instead of free standing functions you use stateless service classes hidden behind interfaces: it gives you very granular namespacing, implementations are swappable, composable, decoratable and testable.

In this system, the models (records) in the domain model are more like classic OOP (objects like "car", "banana") and they have encapsulated state, but only to have a centralized place where you make sure object invariants are upheld whenever their state is mutated (by services), and nothing else.

The hard part is interoperation/invariant validation between multiple objects (aggregates or just related data) and we haven't solved it yet in a consistent manner (everyone comes up with their own approach, for example state propagation via events).
> otherwise extralegally subverted it

No, read my comment again. Every one of the links shows a completely legal way to grab someone's data from any company. The whole point of my initial comment was to point out that legal system is so well primed against any privacy pushback that it's irrelevant what data is encrypted in transit. All the repositories and databases are just one NSL away. And NSLs are so easy to get that you don't even need to convince a judge to approve one.

From EFF: https://www.eff.org/issues/national-security-letters/faq

>By using NSLs, the FBI can directly order companies to turn over information about their customers and then gag the companies from telling anyone that they did so. Because the process is secret, and because even the companies can’t tell if specific NSLs violate the law, the process is ripe for abuse.

>A judge does not have to approve the NSL or an accompanying gag order.

>Over 300,000 NSLs have been issued in the past 10 years alone. The most NSLs issued in a single year was 56,507 in 2004. In 2013, President Obama’s Intelligence Review Group reported; that the government continues to issue an average of nearly 60 NSLs every day. By contrast, in 2000 (the year before the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act that loosened NSL standards), 8,500 NSLs were issued.
>I'm always fascinated at how Chess can completely satisfy my need for intellectual stimulation and competition, and it never gets old. It has the ultimate replay-ability factor.

I really love chess, gotten into it back in 2018 and learned a lot. Since mid 2020 I got into the bad habit of just playing 1+0 bullet games mindlessly without caring about the result just to shake off the boredom. Always repeating the same old openings and attempting the same old boring traps.

I wish I could get back to that "never gets old plus ultimate replay-ability factor", maybe I should start taking on 15+15 games back again.

Well I used VB4-6 and Delphi 5-6 extensively, and my experience was Delphi was lightyears ahead of VB, and I say that as someone who was deeply familiar with both and made heavy use of Dan Appleman's Visual Basic Programmer’s Guide to the Win32 API.

It sounds like you were maybe using it at a fairly surface level, for which VB was good because it was highly approachable sure, but the wheels fell off pretty quick when you had to push it. Delphi was beautiful because it made the easy stuff as easy as VB, but the hard stuff was still easy where in VB it was either impossible or required dropping down to Win32 APIs or calling other languages.
> You can't be that naive. You think every piece of corruption has been exposed?

I don’t think that every bit of corruption has been exposed, and indeed I didn’t say that.

I do not believe “the media” is actively working to hide corruption. Whoever “they” employ, there are simply too many media outlets for one to reasonably believe it is remotely state controlled.

Further, I find it laughable to believe, in the age of information, that any calls to censorship that you claim exist are remotely effective.

Based on similar things I’ve seen here in Australian political circles it’s because they are so deeply misinformed that it’s become dogmatic. They like to get simplistic overview briefings and dislike getting sufficiently deep briefings that they can be informed of the fundamental flaws that simplistic briefings pass over.

They also decide who works for them so no subordinate will “make them learn” and everyone perpetuates a cycle of ignorance that leads to the establishment of a dogmatic position that people trying to make things seem more complicated are wrong because I have all my own people telling me it’s not that complicated. Unless they care to be informed and ASK for it, it will never happen.
