If you are actually so prolific of a programmer and no one around you can keep up, you are probably in the wrong type of company. If you want compensation for your work, look into an Algo-trader or HFT finance shop. They pay vast amounts of money for prolific programmers that are able to output large amounts of high quality code. FAANG as well, but they have a lot of people working on normal crud apps to. The top end finance shops pay a lot to work on hard problems.

> 5G vaccines, QAnon, flat earth, and many other fringe movements exist and ARE misinformation, the questions is how broad these movements are.

I do wonder how many people are in these movements. It kind of reminds me of the Westboro Baptist Church who succeeded in getting themselves a ton of media attention despite being ~70 people. I think Qanon is probably a couple orders of magnitude bigger than the WBC but I would be surprised if the core following exceeds 100,000 people in the US.

I personally believe these things are more a manifestation of underlying mental illness than anything else and if you somehow pushed a magic button to delete all traces of Qanon from the public consciousness they would immediately become sovereign citizens or Holocaust deniers or something (if, indeed, they aren't already). If someone's in Qanon or a Flat Earther it's not because they didn't read the Snopes article debunking Pizzagate or that they didn't understand how the Foucault pendulum works.

I don't think this can be fixed with better information. These people are not well and they need psychiatric help.
Let's roll with that example then!

I think we can both agree that the Wright brothers were pretty genius. They no doubt accomplished something that can be described as a feat of engineering.

Now, the CEO of Spirit airlines clearly isn't a genius, but he doesn't build things anyways, so it's kind of an apple to oranges comparison. Let's instead use an example that's closer to the original cryptography to crypto currency comparison shall we?

Let's compare the Wright brothers to an engineer called Josh working at an airplane manufacturer of your choosing. I will go with Boeing but you choose whichever you would like.

Whenever Josh builds a new plane he uses knowledge passed down and refined by previous aviation engineers, knowledge that can eventually be traced back to the Wright brothers.

He builds on this knowledge and as such creates great plans. This makes him a pretty good engineer!

But does it make his plains "on par" with the greatest achievements of humanity? If so, at what point do they stop being on par? Will they ever? Is every plane one of humanities greatest achievements?

And if that's the case, is every tire on every car one of humanities greatest achievements?

I think we both agree that cryptography is a great achievement of mathematics. It's something that will see uses well into the future. But that's cryptography as a whole, not a specific algorithm.

Crypto currency and blockchains are not world altering inventions. They are simply products of engineering, build on mathematical knowledge.

And while you might be able to argue that they are good engineer, they definitely are not mathematical or theoretical physics achievements. They are simply a product using those achievement, just like databases, rockets and cars are.

Let’s Encrypt does a great job of enabling encrypted connections.

But encryption alone is insufficient for security in financial transactions. You also need to verify that the entity you’re exchanging encrypted traffic with is the one you intended to do business with.

How do you do that part today? Not via Let’s Encrypt.
> This kind of thing happens when the bottom falls out of an industry. Amazon, Walmart.com, and Alibaba/Aliexpress are totally destroying independent retailers.

This makes no sense. Amazon has famously good customer service. I don't deal with walmart often so I don't have an opinion either way. Finally, you bemoan aliexpress, which is comprised of independent sellers, but complain how they're destroying "independent retailers"?
Are you in the USA? Every Amazon return I have done is they give you a QR code and I drop it off at a UPS store. No printing required and UPS handles the packaging.

Amazon has many faults but returns have always worked well for me.
I agree with you one this...but for whatever reason it is not the prevailing opinion on HN. I think that is largely due to the fact that many people on here knew of it early enough to become fabulously rich, but dismissed it out of hand without really looking into it.

Depends on whether the important components like the CPU and their connections are intact. I remember that video from "waterjet channel" where they cut a hole in the middle of a Nintendo Switch and it still worked because the hole ended up entirely through the battery.

Or, it's impossible to tell whether it still works without looking up the internal layout of this iPhone model, which I'm too lazy to do.
Yes. On the investor call one of the points was that Intel's cash would allow tower to expand and modernize its old 150mm and 200mm fabs, and to expand PMIC production enough to be competitive in that market.
Perhaps, but a big part of the value prop of NewEgg (to me at least) is "better than Amazon at not giving me damaged/fake product."
Whenever I hear "oh but this 2FA is vulnerable to phishing" then why did security people annoy everybody and pushed for it before considering this factor?

I'm happy to use only a password for some sensitive things, because I can remember it.

Of course security is a spectrum and 2fa does help for a lot of stuff. Especially against websites that don't know how to hash your passwords properly (usually the ones from where passwords leak the most).

Actually, there is a creativity's dark side that could makes us care. Members of a tribe will perform their gathering and hunting tasks, and achieve some degree of creativity on tools, organization and processes to optimize their resources and live happily. Creativity is nice up to this point. Now imagine what happens when they create this powerful idea, of building a pyramid of ash, so they burn all the trees around. And this have actually happened on different cultures.

> That is probably the problem.

How is that a problem? Let's say I work in the grocery industry. Everyone has to buy groceries at some point, whether wealthy or impoverished, and for those on lower incomes groceries are a fairly major share of total consumption. I can check those prices and they haven't gone up nearly as much as you're saying. Ipso facto you're just wrong.

> Remember when house prices went up 20-30% in a 6 month period of 2021? Not inflation?

Inflation is more than just home prices, and just because something is more expensive than it used to be doesn't mean that inflation is the culprit. Supply and demand are still factors. Regardless, rent is accounted for in the CPI (though not assets like home purchases).

Got anything besides home prices? Car prices haven't gone up that much, at least. I can hardly think of anything besides houses and GPUs that (a) impact me and (b) have gone up fairly drastically in price. (Though around here, the suburbs of greater Cincinnati, home prices haven't generally doubled in ten years; my home's valuation is maybe 15% higher than it was when I bought it five years ago.)
Sadly I think the only people that would do the extra step will be older people who grew up with USD and still desire it.

Do you mentally compare USD to other random obscure currencies? Of course not. And in a future when USD has been replaced, nobody will care to mentally determine USD prices.

Another way to consider it: when you go to the grocery store, you don’t think about how many sats something costs. Because USD is still king.

It is almost upsetting how much humans are hostages to our hormones. One of the most interesting This American Life episodes was about what happens when you are too high or too low on testosterone, for example. It changes your entire personality.

This is why I don't think the Black Mirror promise of "uploading" your brain is that simple. Without hormones, you will be a husk of your former self.

The UX for this page is a lesson. There's no affordance, no hints, that you should be moving sideways instead of the standard 'down' that websites typically use. The '1/5' made me think there might be more, but I guessed I was misunderstanding somehow.

It was only after I came to the comments and saw people talking about water jets that I realized there was definitely more content than a single picture. I had to go back and search the page for a clue as to where to find the additional content. The links I could see, 'previous' and 'work' took me elsewhere entirely.

Lesson: if you aren't following standard patterns, give the users strong hints as to what they are supposed to do.
You don't seem to bring forth any real rebuttal of the arguments in the article. I personally think it's a bit oversimplified but very much viable. Why don't you think so?
While there's a special hatred for modern Google in my heart and I think they're the least deserving to be pioneers for cloud gaming, I have to say I really just hate cloud gaming in general. It's truly the most offensive possible form of anti-consumer DRM imaginable.

I'm not even THAT big of a "gimme my DRM-free games" type guy. I buy most games on Steam, because at least if Steam disappears someday, I can find ways to pirate all those games I bought and continue to play them. Consoles are a bit trickier -- I personally buy physical copies if I can (although that increasingly means less and less, with all the patches and DLC that every game receives after launch, meaning you almost never actually own a physical copy of the complete game. And they even removed all the fun instruction manuals!) But at least every console gets hacked eventually and you'll probably have a way to potentially run pirated software on them in the future.

But with cloud gaming, good bloody luck trying to play the games you shelled out $100 for (modern Canadian pricing) in the future. Not to mention I'm sure we'll find situations in the future where games are patched to remove something that became offensive in the past month, like the big exodus of episodes from streaming services during the BLM protests in 2020.

At least the services where you're just streaming from a generic gaming PC to run your Steam games on can make a bit of an argument for itself that you can download the games to your own computer if you want, and that's just another option for playing them. But who knows how long that'll stay that way. It's quite obviously in the corporate interest to make sure no one ever has access to the game's code on their local machine, and they only ever beam frames to your screen, since that would well and truly stop piracy for good.
I would like to have a resource like this, but instead of the PoC I want to see the diff that fixed the flaw in the software.

I've been trying to send back an SSD to Samsung for over a month now. They keep postponing sending me the shipping label. You have to request it by phone.

That is, after I received the product with over 4 months delay (after which I didn't need it anymore - hence trying to return it.)

I'm not sure if it's because the German Samsung store might just be too incompetent though.

Golang also has a rich ecosystem of external community libraries but

1) the standard library is often enough to get work done (http server, sql, etc)

2) external libraries often would simply sit atop the standard library which is easier to standardise and swap things around

3) the language is quite bare and simple, I was weirded out by the "for" in Go but I now like it. Need to map, filter, or increment counters? Use "for".

4) No need to hesitate between 5 linters or testing libraries, "go" does it so again it's standardised.

As for Svelte, I'm not loving it as much as Go but for frontend, it's just the most "JS/TS" of all without added layer of magic. There is still some, but it's graspable.
My public ssh keys go quite a few places. I hope this can help me keep track of where I’ve uploaded my pubkey, since then revoking the pubkey is much more efficient. Or even do it for me, automagically.

Is it just me or is the usability of websites of artists / art galleries significatively worse than other websites? I always feel like these were made by someone who only care about the art and totally forget the UX. For example, invisible controls (here you can use arrow keys on desktop but it’s not indicated anywhere), incomprehensible minimalism (there’s a "previous" link here that points to the previous work, not the previous image) or horizontal slideshows that forget that swipping left and right has already a function on Safari.

Well, if someone says "climate change caused by globalization of industrialization will destroy the world if it expands it's capacity without revolutionary technological changes", but then backs a party that is firmly committed to defending the problems (eg fossil fuels, car-based transit systems, deregulation of power generation, etc) that will destroy the world if scaled up, you have to wonder "what explains this extreme contradiction"?
But music theory isn't on the level of physics, it's not what music is made of, it's more like a recipe - yes, you can intuitively cook a dish from experience, but at some point if you want to communicate that with others you have to write down the names and quantities of the things you're using, the temperatures and timings, and so on. And knowing lots of recipes allows you to much better understand how to tweak and improvise on your existing knowledge by adding new elements or substituting ingredients.
It's clearly important to understand the biases and potential conflicts of interest when analyzing a source. No source is free of bias, and figuring out what those biases are is an important part of critical thinking.

However, a source can be completely biased and still be correct. Any counterarguments need to be based primarily on the provided evidence and conclusions, not the "trustworthiness" of the arguer.

Crypto is an opportunity? Heck no, when you want to replace the existing system there must be some outstanding benefit which the new system should provide. Crypto has no such thing.

I just finished a Web Serial that's in the process of being edited and published called Mother of Learning by Domagoj Kurmaic. So far, only the first arc has been formally published, [0] but the entire story is available for free online. [1]

It's a fantasy story about a young mage attending an academy to study magic when he finds himself stuck inside a time loop that lasts a month before resetting. The worldbuilding is very well realized, it has a fascinating magic system that rewards ingenuity, and most importantly, has one of the most satisfying endings I've ever read in any medium.

It takes a few chapters to pick up, but there were times where I laughed, cried, and even moments where I thought deeply about the philosophical implications of the narrative.

Overall, it solidified itself as one of my favorite books of all time, and I would recommend it to nearly any fan of fantasy. I can't possibly do it justice, but it's the #1 rated story on Royal Road and the most favorited story on Fiction Press. (at least in it's genre)

I am using a FiiO X1 still and love it. FiiOs have great DACs although their software is wanting at times.

My biggest issues with my X1 are: 1) Music Discovery, as my local collection has gotten so large, I often find myself using Jellyfin or local desktop music players to discover, then listen to them on my FiiO 2) Limited Queuing ability. This isn't normally an issue for me, as I usually listen to complete albums all the way through, but if you want to quickly create playlists, the X1 is terrible for that.

But, the sound is fantastic. Controls are simple. I don't get distracted and can just reliably listen to my music. Transfer/management is simple (I use rhythmbox with its usb device support). Battery life is great. Storage is expandable and supports a microSD card (I currently have a 256G, but will probably upgrade to a 512G soon). Supports ogg, flac, mp3, and other formats. Unfortunately it doesn't support opus, although I think newer models do.

I haven't tried any of their newer models as mine is 8 years old and still works perfect.
