I think the author just needs a break and a little perspective. As you say they're wildly off the mark regarding transferrable knowledge. They even say

> Especially for an indie dev– you are more than just a code monkey. You will have to know a bit of everything. And even in traditional gaming, most developers seem to know more than their narrow field of coding (just my impression from interviews etc).

at the end. They're clearly aware of the skills they've picked up.
> They can't open their mouths without talking about how much they care about privacy

Agreed. Besides telemetry, merely achieving privacy when it comes to browsing requires manually turning up the tracking protection level to the strictest and installing a third-party add-on: uBlock Origin.

This gives a false sense of security to less tech-savvy users who (reasonably) believe that they'll actually have privacy by installing a privacy-focused browser from a company that claims to be on their side in all their marketing.
Minor bug: backspacing. Eg, edit some value, type "1", now backspace changes text to "NaN" instead of expected "". To make it a bit worse, users can't even do "01", now backspace changes to "" instead of expected "0". Both should be fixed imo.
So this looks a lot like what Hadoop did with .har files[1] on HDFS (like storing GPS tiles on HDFS without blowing through the 1 M files per-dir limit).

> It is not possible to update individual files inside the ZIP file. Therefore this should only be used for data that isn’t expected to change.

I've actually done file-replaces on .zip files on HDFS, because .ZIP files are actually written with a directory in a footer, you can go to the end and append new data without having to "modify" existing files.

This doesn't conflict with the block level immutability, though the entire write has to be a single commit to avoid leaving the file in a bad way.

I'd say that the best case use-case for this is the storage of log files (like if you had fluentd writing .zip files by appending to it rather than a diff object for each 5 minute window).

When it comes to stuff which compresses well but full of small objects, ZIP is pretty bad because each file in the zip independently contains a dictionary (look at the .xlsx file inside to know how MSFT solved that, but in way which makes you hate it - a strings directory for shared strings across all files).

> Worked as a Perl dev for 15 years and enjoyed it

Similar situation here. Perl is awsome and I'm still bitter that Python won. I mean significant whitespace - what great madness is this???

Anyway, yes, mod_perl ran the Web for about a decade in the early 2000s and I built and maintained huge websites which were all Perl on the back end.

BTW the book "Perl Best Practices" by Damian Conway [0] is the best general programming book I have ever read. Every software engineer should read it no matter what language they program in. So much good advice which applies to pretty much any significant software project. IMHO right up there with the "Mythical Man Month", though obviously much more low level.

>Got anything besides home prices?

>Inflation is more than just home prices

>The items/services we all want/need, that are scarce, and can't be imported from our foreign "slaves", are where you will find it concentrated. Healthcare, housing, university, etc...

It seems you didnt read anything I wrote since you avoided my earlier point and are still ignorantly talking about retail goods that are, for the most part, subsidized, imported from countries we export inflation to, or experience heavy shrinkflation.

I also mentioned inflation is not evenly distributed. Different areas/segments of the population experience different rates. The Ohio housing market may not have been hit as hard, probably parts of Michigan fall in that same boat (these are not desirable markets), but most houses did 3-4x in the past 12 years.

I will move on... Everyone will understand the hurdle rate is higher than 7.5% after enough time has elapsed (just like they did with the BS 2.5% CPI number we used to use) and the standard of living decline is significant enough that it cant be ignored anymore. The investor class generally understands the new yearly hurdle rate is 20%-30% (must earn atleast ~120% of last year's return just to break even). Saylor and a few others makes this point often...

I'll leave those that disagree or aren't interested in learning to figure this out the harder way.

There was the Hague Conventions from 1899/1907, specifically IV, that does exactly that.
Yup, and I'd use Keycloak with a PostgreSQL extension to drive both together. I'd drive RLS from Keycloak if I was going to go that way.
It would be great to have some more factual content in here. What is the unacceptable setback that is preventing projects from going in?

It's easy to attack things like reposts of pictures or Trump soundbites. It would be more useful to investigate the underlying issues and concerns. It's hard to show something is misinformation without multiple sources disproving it with facts. Otherwise, I would consider these strawman arguments to be misinformation too.

I found this with a quick search. No idea if the cited studies have flaws. But they seem to contradict the claim that nearby wind turbines don't affect value. Could this be a reasonable area to investigate?

I'll admit that I'm against some of the renewable push. For example, an area I know recently had a ridge top clear cut to make way for a solar farm. The solar panels of which are nor recyclable. Must we destroy nature in the name of protecting it? Who know, maybe it is a net positive, albeit a sad one.

Which side is providing misleading and false info? It appears to be both.

Nothing. I used to think breakfast was essential. Turns out it's just another habit. Two good meals a day is perfectly fine.

I also hate the feeling of going to the gym on a full stomach. Working out around ten am or so works great.
I'm not sure what contrived scenarios you're envisioning, but if the threat model is, once again, 'person in proximity', they don't have to "steal" anything, they can simply use it, e.g. authenticate with the key while you're in the shower. And if in your model they presumably already know your password, it stands to reason they also know your PIN.
If passwordle had a list of all possible solutions like wordle does, this would be doable.

Thank you very much for it.

There is a clear productivity hole for me since google removed godocs until I discovered godocs.io. In the meantime, I even did a chrome extension to make the new site more readable.

It was sad how they ignored the feedback. It felt like a designer that didn't use go documentation daily designed the site. The worst part is they never explained why.

godocs.io deserve to have a direct link in the http://golang.org/ site.
First, average primary system memory in a typical laptop does not double every two years. Growth of average installed memory has been linear, not exponential (see, e.g., https://techtalk.pcmatic.com/research-charts-memory/). Second, even if it did grow, software can consume memory faster than it can be provisioned; there's no law that prevents software developers from writing software that utilizes an arbitrary amount of memory. Put differently, adding more memory does not necessarily ensure the software will not consume it, in the same way that adding more freeway lanes is not a guarantee that gridlock will not ensue, or that moving from an apartment into a mansion is not a guarantee that it won't get filled with stuff.
Ridiculous miscalculation.

yes, I'm reading about the order of events now. Germany declared war on US after US declared war on Japan. Germany's agreement with Japan did not provide for this kind of assurance if Japan attacked another country first. Hitler dismissed this reminder and had low regard for US military largely due to his blind hatred and belief that the country was weakened by Jewish and African Americans. whoops. what dumb ideas.

I get what you are saying, the reason I think it is a stretch to focus on the Jewish people murdered in Europe, is because the US mistreated them too, before, then and for decades after. It relies on retroactively applying sympathy towards Jewish people, to make it seem like the US and allies were actually involved for moral reasons, and morals reasons that included oppressed Jewish people. Liberating the camps was a stretch goal that occurred once soldiers busted into them and saw how dire it was first hand. People suspected, of course.
Ah. That's a very interesting way to put it! I think it's possible that some people just don't have a "feel" for creating music (call it talent, something you're born with, etc.). But I sense that you enjoy music and maybe feel like you have things you'd like to "say," musically, but are frustrated by your inability to wrestle the tools into doing what you hear in your mind.

Do you play the piano? I think the piano is the best vehicle for grokking music—it allows for melody and harmony (and rhythm) all in one instrument, in sort of a visual way, that is hard to get in monophonic instruments, or even with guitar (for more complicated reasons). I think I developed my musical sense in two main ways: 1. listening to songs on records and on the radio, and figuring out how to replicate them at the piano, and 2. playing lots of music on the piano from sheet music, where I was constantly exposed to chord progressions and the like in other people's music; the "tropes" of Western classical and popular music, if you like. Neither of these are trivial, but both are within reach of most people, I think. I will posit that there are few shortcuts to musical mastery. Grokking music is definitely not like (as easy as) learning a new programming language.
I had this situation when I lived in Munich. 20 minutes biking through mostly forest. I have never felt that connected to nature since then. After a while you feel humidity, temperature, learn weather patterns,know what animals do. It was really good for the soul.
Of course there's a worst one, there has to be. Well Hanford didn't principally produce energy, so much as just plutonium, so really its mission was weapon production. So now we're changing the subject a bit, no longer is it about electricity, but defense.

So we can address that immediately: without the Hanford site, Japan would not have surrendered without an invasion of the home islands. Maybe not even then. It was the "new and cruel bomb," as the Emperor of Japan described it while citing it as the reason for surrender in his speech. That "new and cruel" bomb meant an alternative to reenacting the Battle of Iwo Jima (which I would describe as "fucked up" for both sides without question) a thousand times. Battles to the last cartridge. Forgetting completely about the lives of Allied and Axis soldiers, you realize the death toll that would have on the civilians of Japan? They were on the hook for all kinds of atrocities all over Asia and the Pacific, in the context of total war they pissed off the rest of the world way too hard for the Allies to declare a truce. Just in Korea alone, the stories are just...let's not talk about that, let's stick to what is fucked up within nuclear science.

Japanese were subscribed to the idea that their genocide was preferable to surrender. So that's why the bomb, and by extension the Hanford site, were so important. In practice the nukes in Japan explosives second, fireworks first. Napalm was a much better explosive for the money, in terms of the destruction it could produce. The really bad bombings in WWII were in Tokyo and Dresden, a hundred thousand dead per bombing, a new climactic event called a "Firestorm," terrible burns, pavement getting goopy, high winds--I claim those bombings were worse. But they weren't as flamboyant as a star.
The Japanese tried firebombing the West Coast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu-Go_balloon_bomb
These are great points, many of which would apply to indie software development or side projects too. Your point on Iteration time (and tangentially scope, workload and never finishing) do you think agile practices can help?

I'm thinking of the concept of focusing on a vertical slice, not a minimum viable product (MVP) or any particular capital "A" Agile framework. In a CRUD webapp this concept could be a user login, on its own it doesn't do much but its a functional part of the app - vertical slice in the sense that it cuts across all parts of the tech stack - UI, app server, and database.

In game development maybe this could be something that focuses on building something functioning that involves artwork, music/sounds, animation and data (state of some kind). For example, a fully working character model that can jump, shoot, collect objects, whatever.
Rise in cross platform frameworks would be a positive trend.

When I am writing a flutter application, I often run on desktop directly and resize to mobile shape. That works good enough unless I am writing a mobile-specific feature. This probably means most flutter apps can run on other linux based phones as well.
One of the biggest drawbacks to me about Linux is the aesthetic quality. This gives me alot of hope. As the author said this might really well be a turning point.

NASA used a commodity CPU for their Martian drone, so just start there. See what an RPi4 or something could do. If it works for any amount of time at all, then it's a success. If it lasts the entire duration before re-entry, then it's a resounding success.

If launches are that cheap, just keep throwing junk up until you find out where the line for good enough is.
It's hosted on Github Pages which is just static file serving. And thanks to CORS restrictions I don't think you could phone home.

How does this gain market share? It's still a knockoff, slower version of Chrome, just that you can install a Disney theme.

In its default configuration, it doesn't bring anything to the table that Chrome doesn't already have, and making it actually privacy-respecting requires being tech-savvy enough to configure it and install the right third-party ad blocking add-on - which if you are tech-savvy enough, chances are that you're already running it.

The surprise meeting at noon just got spoiled! Congrats to the Temporal team. We're just getting up and running with Temporal at Release, but I'm very excited to see the effect it is going to have on how we design and interact with our code.
I think a huge gap here is between gamedev as a hobby (where throwing away prototypes, or only doing jam-level games is fine and fun) vs trying to make games as an indie with an eye for quitting their day job. One of those is massively harder than the other.

And, I'd argue that if you want to consider indie-level gamedev efforts, it makes sense to spend 6 months as a hobbyist first, to kinda feel out the territory.

And, for me, if someone interviewed and showed off a game project, I know they've dealt with lots of mutable state, and the challenges therein, which is worth something.
The eleventh harmonic is a neutral second. Even according to the wikipedia section you quoted, you have to round up from F half-sharp to F sharp to get it, which doesn't make sense if you're trying to derive a musical scale from the harmonic series, as you would have already passed over the neutral third, diminished third, supermajor second, and all the rest of the intervals listed above which require no rounding at all.

The actual 11th harmonic is the neutral second against the 10th harmonic, which corresponds to the super-fourth compared to the root.
Oh, absolutely. In fact, I can recall improvising over a song purely by ear, and then coming up with some worse lines once I'd worked what the chords were and written them out.
We Solved Software in Biology
Agreed. Also for some smaller games the core gameplay itself is the easy part. The rest of it (menus, sound/music, levels, animations, game options, networking, localization, input flexibility, resolution/video settings, shaders, cross-platform support, achievements, leaderboards, statistics, a.i., etc.) is what can take forever.

For example, I've got game with a core game loop that's been finished for probably a year now, but I've still got a ways to go with everything else before I'm finished with the rest of it.
Isn't that what he said? He won't.
Addendum to the above: I also had lots of direct instruction in music: piano lessons, theory classes, music history classes, various instrument lessons, composition classes, etc. It all adds up.

This followed the pagerduty hack. We don't know who else was getting hacked either - these were to high profile ones.

So this just raised the question - what's up that they don't take serious issues seriously? With bitcoin there have been a ton of insider issues with how "trusted" infrastructure providers and exchanges handling bitcoin so that was the question.

Even if external hackers, they just got hacked over and over.
> AND MFA on various transactions

This is actually reasonable. there are some transactions that require re-authentication to make sure you are the person behind the screen.

This is in swift contrast with question from finance dept such as "how long of a screen timeout is secure?". To what I respond "about 10 seconds - the time you need to walk to the door". This is "not acceptable" - to which the answer is re-authentication but his requires them to actually think about what is important and recode the app.

The bigger issue is the attack surface of the app is now much larger.

Even that wants your GPS location (why?), camera (and therefore microphone) access, and storage access.
