By taking everything you've got and more, locking you up for decades, fraudulently seizing foreign properties, and all without a lawyer, in a language you don't know.

I don't doubt the US legal systems has many problems, but I think it's still on a completely different scale than this.
> Potential future employers will easily get a copy of my DNA if they want one.

They should be forbidden from doing so. Not forbidden from using it for discrimination; forbidden from obtaining or posessing or sequencing an employee's DNA without their express consent, even via a third party.

> I am arguing that DNA is not the most "sensitive" personal data.

"The most" is debatable, and to some extent a matter of opinion. "One of the most" is hard to argue. It's highly personal information.
Its been fascinating seeing how many people who have not used C# much/in anger, write it off.

But also how common the theme is that once people use it a bit they are very pleasantly surprised.

This seems particularly endemic in the javascript crowd and its almost as if they have been brainwashed by too many kool aid blogs and don't have broad experience of having tried other technologies, but yet they are so self-assured.

I really don't understand why C# isn't used so much more widely in startups, and can only think it's a fashion and misplaced virtue signaling? Genuinely interested in opinions on this, what do you think?
The reason people go overboard worrying about their carbon footprint is because fossil fuel companies have a strategy of making global warming 'our' fault, and a consequence of individual action instead of recognizing it's too large of a problem for us to tackle individually. We need government regulation in the form of a carbon tax. Want to drive a dodge viper to work? Knock yourself out. Your carbon taxes will help fund a few KW clean nuclear power.
Some things are huge conspiracies. it's no doubt to me that the fossil fuels industry is full of people who are and have conspired to make the world a vastly worse place because it is profitable to do so.

I like to think of the reproducibility problem as a sort of modern Tower of Babel. It's obviously not a perfectly 1:1, but interesting similarities to be sure.
My fear when I was young was that women for the most part really would rather not, but just put up with it because it was sort of required if you wanted to participate in the married and had kids portion of civilization.

The older I get, the more I suspect I was probably right.
How does it compare to Singapore in that aspect? I get the same impression there when people talk about how it all works really well until it doesn't.
I really think an educational program is needed to take people from the US to visit some non-western countries with "human rights issues" and see what this actually looks like for a bit to cure this kind of whataboutism deflections that crop up anytime criticisms are made of conditions for people in foreign countries.
>There is no rule of law

In San Francisco if someone walks into your shop and steals less than $950 worth of goods there's pretty much nothing you can do about it; is that rule of law?
Yes, and everybody should
But a reimplementation of exFAT is not as buggy

That's not surprising, because the FAT family is relatively simple for a filesystem. As a result, you can easily get read-only support done almost right the first time, and writing is only slightly more difficult.
How is he going to take out a patent for or aggressively license OSS? The code is already out for anyone to use at that point.
The problem is that the funders of scientific research (corporations, governments, military) see zero upside in finding simple answers. There's simply no money in 'better living'.

This sort of research is only of value in so far as it moves forward some sort of saleable treatment.

In the meantime, the more confused you are about what to eat and how to treat your body - the better. It is when people are damaged that the medical industry makes its money.

In summary, the incentives for health are in reverse (and perverse, IMO). People get paid for treating disease (and even keeping them unwell!) but not for keeping people healthy.
Another interesting thing to look at is the Haxe ecosystem which this game is using. It is a fantastic language for those who have not used it.
God I miss Metro UI. What happened the that? Why did Microsoft chicken out on some actual good UI that took risks and elevated computing to a new level.
was there some way to have prevented or mitigated this?
Oof. For finding my bearcan, adding conspicuity tape (the red/white reflector tape used on tractor trailers) makes them stand out like a beacon with a headlamp (which, so far as I know, bears have not learned to make use of). It also has adhesive good enough to stick to their slick plastic.
It really feels like the objective for growth is just to wait, and not based on actual skills.
Not sure if this is a good metric tbh, years of experience have a lot to do with type of challenges, and type of challenges have a lot to do with environment and architectures.
you can be working 10 years on a small flower shop or building a huge distributed system that can handle crazy traffic or have really complex business logic.
The worst thing to me is that it encourages engineers to focus on less risky challenges since the complexity of the work does not contribute to experience.
I'd hope a modern iteration could improve on a 30 year old game, but that's not always the case.
This sounds like an unusual arrangement. Who actually determines your pay?
This has no backing in actual science (regardless of what the cult-like communities on reddit and similar places claim). I think a lot of people misattribute many of their problems to porn because (1) they watch porn and (2) they have some serious life problems. But that doesn't mean that (1) causes (2).
That was my first thought, I'm worried it will not use the full potential of the source material. In the world of Dune wars were won by intrique more than with troops and this feels like a mobile game.
I wish we had a cRPG placed in the Dune's universe, with visuals to match Villeneuve's Dune or Jodorowsky's wonderfull hallucinations.
I sort of grew up in Saudi, but we were as middle class as they come. I'm not sure if you're South Asian, but if you are I'm pretty sure you experienced it at some point as well. You don't need to look further than how those South Asian laborers are treat to see abuse in human right. Or those Filipino nurses and maids. As a South Asian, you would definitely get the sense that locals would think less of you just because you're brown. Race hierarchy is basically White > Arabs >> Brown. That literally both abuse of human right and structural racism right there.
Hard to tell from the photos. At University of MS, Starship robots deliver.
I think the GP was commenting on the lack of specification of eMMC wear leveling, not Littlefs.
I never considered pair programming as a tool simply to increase raw velocity. For me, it's almost always been a pedagogical tool - it's an effective way to up-skill a developer who's learning (both young developers and experienced developers learning a new skillset).

I would never force it on my team. But, given the task "teach Bob X", they often come to some form of pair-programming on their own. I usually only suggest it when learning becomes a roadblock.
`livereload.js` - looks like some development stuff that got left in.

Pair programming stinks, always has always will. Its another mindless initiative managers come up with because some person in the organisation who subscribes to the Agile cult (there is always one) wont stop going on about it.

Like most things Agile, it treats the developer as a child who cant be trusted to get things done. It's grade school where teacher tells you it's time for 'pair programming', yeahhhh. Usually it's at the worse possible time, and it's just another distraction in days filled with distractions that stop you doing anything meaningful.

If people need to work together, they'll do it naturally like any ordinary adults who are asked to complete a task.
The problem is that doesn’t actually move any energy. You can’t take a bitcoin that has already been minted and turn it directly into something useful like electricity.

I recently saw a chart that showed that women recently overtook men in the no sex in the last 12 months.
I mean, there's the old Windows-only SAPI from the Windows XP days that they haven't been developing for several years now, and the current Azure Cognitive Services, which is just a REST API with a pretty standard auth scheme. There's an official .NET package for wrapping that REST API, but it's certainly not necessary to use it if you know how to handle REST APIs. Is that what you're talking about?
Sounds incel-y. Most men have no problem sleeping around. They just don't want the women who are interested in them.
I doubt the 4-5% you saw is a first principle of breathing.

Also Northgard - the other game by this developer - had a pretty dull story unfortunately.

Ask HN: From Developer to Appsec Engineer?
I'm a software developer that recently get interested in application security. I don't have any formal training in that field yet, most of my knowledge are from portswigger.net's top lists and games (like microcorruption.com). I've applied some of those to find bugs in my team's product, just some basic ones: mostly denial of service and some others like CSRF, XSS, padding oracle attack... But if someone ask me how to secure a system then I won't even know where to begin, the massive amount of attacks out there really make me nervous
So, is there any role/position for people like me, newbie, to learn from the job? (from my experience, being a developer really helped in finding/testing scenarios that could lead to security bugs, so I guess I'm having a little more advantage than a real newbie). And what are your suggestions/resources for self learning to become familiar with the field?
> It's easy to think you have a lot of rights until you try to do something unpopular with them

Nonsense argument. Lacks details and specifics.

> I left the west for somewhere where I have a lot fewer rights on paper, but I feel so much freer now, no longer constantly worrying about what the mob thinks of everything I say.

That's where you fucked up: Caring about what [random] people think about you. Also I would love to know what country you feel more free in. For some reason I suspect this will not be answered.

> I won't defend the UAE, but the level of freedom you have in actual daily life is surprisingly disconnected from what's written in a constitution or what the government is doing.

More blah blah blah nonsense. Examples, give them. I have numerous freedoms I exercise daily (speech, worship, association, ownership of war weapons).
that’s bait

Ah, I miss the old Slashdot. It took me a while to become a regular here as well. Slashdot got a bit too serious/corporate at some point and the founders eventually got out and at some point I just moved on as well. The last time I left a comment there was twelve years ago or so. I actually just logged in just to see if my account is still there. Karma still excellent :-).

I like HN, but it could do with people being maybe a bit less uptight and a bit lighter sometimes. The comment section seems to have quite a few pedantic know it-alls taking themselves way to seriously; just like slashdot used to. Welcoming is maybe not a term I'd necessarily use for this.

Anyway, happy birthday HN!
That looks surprisingly bad for a 2022 game. The characters are a matter of taste I guess, but rendering soldiers that are larger than buildings, poor perspectives etc. I love Dune but hope they put in a lot more work.
The likely framework being used is the heaps.io framework (since the devs previously used it in their other commercial games). It's a pretty full featured framework.

I used this however to cut one meal per day. I'd eat breakfast late, a bit before regular lunch time, and then get hungry leaving work. Riding the bike home made the hunger go away, and it stayed away for about half an hour, enough time to cook dinner.

The result was that I wasn't superhungry when I started eating. I also tried to eat high protein, high fiber meals so I'd stay full for longer.
I know people are always talking about the downfall of the web, but doesn't hackernews show that the spirit is alive and well? And further, great sites don't have to devolve into shit. I don't use social media, so to me the web _is_ places like hackernews and the great resources it typically references. Cheers and thank you all.
Perhaps you could increase the notification threshold.
A few things I noticed on my trip to Dubai.

1. Almost all of the labour comes from India and Pakistan. The native population is very small. So Dubai is an international city really, and it can't stop being one. The upkeep of everything they built is extremely labour intensive. If the immigrants went away the city would disintegrate back into sand within a few years.

2. The amount of wealth concentrated in such a tiny spot, with no military to protect it, is probably not sustainable. Just judging by the amount of effort that went into protecting castles in Europe. This place will get raided eventually.

3. Only the wealthiest of the wealthy can afford a home with a backyard in Dubai. So if you have one, appreciate it.
I mean you could just use a USB-C cable and avoid every annoyance you've claimed.
I didn't like the RTS part all that much. There's very little challenge there apart from making sure to send many Fremen and equipping them with the best weapons you can capture.

I recall deliberately trying to lose in the RTS section section and not managing to. You can either fall behind on Spice shipments and get annihilated by the Emperor (until you somehow could beat him) or lose Paul directly, but AFAIK there's no way to lose in the RTS itself.

That did give me enough time to explore the map in an Ornihopter - best part of the game IMHO.
> We make it work and have sex a few times every month

If this article can be taken to be representative of strange, pervasive, American views, I think it's showing a lot of its cards in the premise implied by the title[1], which I think asks the wrong question. There's almost the implication that sex is like money - more is always better, every dollar is the same as every other dollar, and it's as much about status as it is about the thing itself. There are other question to be asked: are people having good sex? Are they enjoying it, having fun? Is sex improving their lives? Are they learning things about themselves and other people, forming fond memories and relationships? To a certain extent, having more sex gives you more chance to learn, but I think it's a huge mistake to focus so much on the sheer quantity.

[1] yes, I know that article titles are dumb and aren't chosen by the editors, not the authors.
> He couldn’t escape the sense that hitting on someone in person had, in a short period of time, gone from normal behavior to borderline creepy.

A redditor living there once responded to "why would you be okay living in a country with slave labor?" by asking the commenter: who made the stuff they owned. Who mined the minerals for your electronics (probably exploited miners), who made your clothes (probably underpaid Bangladeshis). So the difference between the average Westerner and a Dubaian is the distance the slaves are to the consumer.

I watch at least as much porn as the next guy, and have multiple partners on a regular basis. But I don't tend to get addicted to anything, so I might be a bad example.

Not meeting people anymore, because of the pandemic, had a much bigger impact for me. I never was particular successful with dating apps, real-life worked magnitides better.
What he said is true in rural America. In the religious areas, which is most of 'em. This is a divided country. You'd be shocked at how seriously people take religion and how it affects views on sex.
Not as much porn use as very regular ejaculation.

I have started to look into sexuality and tantra, and it really seems like there are some effects people will only see after 5-6 days abstinence.

And yes, the added energy will definitely also make men more willing to do the hunt, if they don't ejaculate 2 times a day.

Porn, however, seems to be the enabler of so much ejaculation.

Then again: The risk / unknowns of getting a partner can definitely also outweigh the cons of abstinence.

Well the data goes against your opinion. Kids aren't hanging out in bars and sleeping around like the good ol days. They are online much more.

Also, the US is still super puritan, it is conservative outwardly and it makes up for it by being deviant privately, travel, most countries are much more open about sex. Be it public display of affection, legal sex work, sex education, down to just physical contact from kisses in greetings, and public nudity at the beach, etc.

Americans are, in general, prudes in public and slutty in private. While much of the world is the opposite.
Yes, that is literally a written law that is being properly followed. Although the end result may be questionable, there is a legal framework by which disputes could be reasonably resolved, while trying to preserve the rights of all parties involved.

As someone who has used C# since V1 beta, I would like to recommend slow down on the new features. They are adding weight to the tree and eventually it will fall over, or C# will become like C++ with too much complexity that limits usability and use.

Another comment here suggested just make a trivial way to reference an embedded text file resource, and that is already very possible and not hard already, as well as use of string Resources.
