wtaf!!

I mean, what is the point of life if engaging in your hobbies is fair game for hostility from society? The thought that this is something a lot of people actually think scares me to the core.
I wonder where people draw lines between con and not con.

Seems he didnt make any money from this company.

Obviously, faking employees, company history etc shows his dishonesty / con side of this.

But seems like he could almost make this con happen without being that dishonest. Get a free work from people working on commision to bootstrap his company and start making real money and actually start paying them.

Was this what he was planning? Probably not, but would that still be a con?
But that's exactly my point, Kris carefully draws her arguments. Which is what gives her her authority, not the other way around.

If it were not for VB and Delphi, I wouldn't have kept my interest for programming. Mucking around with C on the command line took my teenage self only so far before losing any interest.

If I had free time and enough dedication I'd re-learn Pascal just to write desktop apps with Lazarus. Alas, that will probably never happen.
The first computer which was mine (completely mine) was a Gameboy. Like, the original, classic Gameboy, whatever its name is. We also had a 80286 PC, and compared to that it was 'small'. This was back in 1991 or so. I also had a 'smartwatch' which had a Nintendo game (one. Yes, one game): Tetris. You also had Palm computers back then. Everyone has a 'small' portable/mobile computer with networking these days, but back then portable/mobile computers existed as well. They just didn't have networking, were very limited, etc. Piracy existed then as well. Back in the days you could study a chip by putting it under a microscope. The Soviet Union made VAX clones via such way. Today with EUV I don't think that's possible anymore.
I see this said a lot when cyclists come up. Have you ever seen a cyclist cause inconvenience to vehicles because they ran a red light? Or is it just a sense of "How dare you do something I can't"?
But who will verify results of this conversation? Who will be the one to make changes, create changes, verify that changes are correct? Who will take blame if error happens?

If a 5% speed improvement represents 0.0000001% of your time, then isn't 1000x speed improvement still only 0.002%?

I don't understand how you can simultaneously argue that almost 0 of your time is spent waiting on tooling, and also that your tooling is so slow that it needs to be 1000x faster.
Wait a few years, we might have software driven humans. And that's a much bigger deal. Replacing the driver versus replacing the map.
> Most people probably don't have the talent to play in a professional league regardless of their practice regimen, but when you can get to 95%-ile by fixing mistakes like "not realizing that you should stand on the objective", you don't really need a lot of talent to get to 95%-ile.

In the only 2 competitive games I played enough to talk about this - sc2 and dota2 - the mistakes people make at my level (which at my peak was ~2000 mmr in dota and low plat in starcraft - probably top 60-40% of the active players in both) - were nothing like "not understanding game objectives".

In starcraft it's easy to say what went wrong because there's much less variables. Usually it's going for a wrong build order blindly, not reacting to enemy unit composition in time, or just being too slow mechanically (usually in the economy part of the game, fights you can just attack-move into the enemy army, but you have to build buildings and units FAST or you don't have enough units to fight). I've been watching sc2 games on top level, I've even played vs people in top 90% in 8v8 free for all games, and there's just no way for me to win against them.

I've played one 8v8 game where I was the only one in plat and the rest was in master/grand master. They left me alone for 20 minutes and fought it between themselves. I've build maxed 3/3/3 skytoss fleet with mothership and carriers, full wall of photon cannons and a lot of gates for instant remax. 20 minutes of reasonably fast base-building. After I started to fight I lost in like 5 minutes vs mass marines + medivacs :/ Guy just harassed me to death from 10 different angles while escaping my deathball of carriers. I had 10 times his resources but not the skill to defend from so many points at once. And he wasn't even grand master. Sc2 will show you exactly how much you suck.

In dota there's much more chaos, sometimes it's lost in the picking phase, other times someone just feeds for 10 minutes, sometimes people don't understand who is more late-game and farm for 40 minutes vs later-game carry or constantly fight vs earlier-game lineup instead of farming. Other than these I usually don't know why we lose. It's never "I don't understand the game objective".

I could probably get much higher if I wasn't spamming winter wyvern as pos4/5 every game. But it's the only hero I enjoy, so whatever.
Show HN: I made a Line graph maker
Although there’s a constant supply, there’s still an exponential demand.

Programming has already created two classes of developers for many years. Those blue collar type programmers who translate requirements into code. And those white collar type engineers who design & gather requirements into concepts.

I think the big divide here has always been for the latter, but companies still need the former to train & skill up to the latter.

I don’t see this trend slowing down for the next 20-30 years. Hell, even by 2025 there will be a deficient of over 150 million. I don’t think we can train nor repopulate fast enough for that demand which will only increase each year in addition.

Times will be great for knowledge work jobs in the tech industry. Not just programming. Programming experience will only become more required for non-coding jobs. Especially any people management or leadership type role.

I've never understood this concept. Reddit is the worst, though at least you can argue that they probably have all the figures to back up the idea that engagement is much higher when they push someone onto the app. For a travel app which you are only using a few times a year I can't imagine this holds.

It seems like it's product managers justifying their investment in the native applications in a lot of cases.
I wonder whether making Atlassian tools run some 20% more efficiently would make the world greener than this.

IIRC one of the motivations Paul-Henning Kemp said to be having is to optimise software so that the world is greener.

While Bitbucket has some good reasons to be a performance hog (better diffs), I can not say the same about JIRA nor Confluence.
That is incorrect. Feel free to try it here: https://pegjs.org/online, you will see that aaaaa is not a match. And no, that is not a bug in pegjs.
> I would expect that it is a lot easier to dehumanize people that look really different from anyone else

I wonder when this has ever got us into trouble as a society before. Maybe check yourself if you find yourself experiencing feelings like this. "The gays" sometimes wear strange clothing just for fun. Do you think it's acceptable to dehumanize them too?
Of course, the pressure come from the US, which has proven in the last decades to resort to this kind of propaganda blitz before they embark in another unjustified military adventure.

They don't need to distinguish between those cases. They just need to make the cost of solving the captchas (either automatically or by paying a farm of low-skilled workers to solve them) higher than the value of the abuse.
Because that does not recognize the same set of strings. That matches aaaaa, but my example above does not. That is exactly the point I'm trying to make.
Frankly, it's better than the race to the bottom that most tech companies are satisfied with.

My issues with Mozilla's leadership team were never about the vision, mostly about the execution. I don't like Brendan Eich's politics, or the cryptocurrency and borderline shakedown approach that he used to build and launch Brave, but the goal of keeping competition alive on the web? I could get behind that.

I don't like the recurring fallback to Google search revenue by the Mozilla leadership team, but it's kept Mozilla around to keep fighting the fight, and give the opportunity to find other options to keep fighting for their principles (which are not wokeness and leftism, despite what folks would have you believe - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/ )

Choosing a hill to die on doesn't make you virtuous, it just makes you dead. Mozilla is alive and seems to be trying to move forward, and I hope they succeed.
Incorrect, it does not match the same strings.
Yeah, documentation required effort. There was good documentation, but you had to know where to find it. You had to network for such, too.

Software-wise, everything was enabled by default. You had to disable services. Which meant your machine was remotely exploitable right after install.
Pretty obvious why "more gently used" sets of lungs are in high demand right now. Or at least they're the obvious headliner for stories about the organ donor shortage. I noticed no further reference to COVID in the article ...guess that says something about WIRED's readership, or...

A Modest Proposal: Heavily tax higher-performance motorcycles, but replace the tax with a generous subsidy for purchasers who've signed a "Collect 'em all!" organ donation card. Which also exempts them from helmet laws, etc. (Yes, there'd be a bunch of administrative details.)

I checked ImageMagick, and was somewhat surprised they don't note this at all.

> Or they slowly drifted towards anti-EU sentiment due to the EU.

Poland, through 7 national and 17 regional programmes, benefitted from EU funding of EUR 91.3 billion under the 2014-2020 ESIF programmes (as of January 2022). This represented an average of 2 400 euro per person in the 2014 population

they didn't drift

they already had it in their belly, they simply hid it to take EU money and build their anti-democratic platforms.

Don't get fooled by appearances.

People of Hungary and Poland are not responsible for what's happening to them and to their countries and they do not deserve it.

This is seriously an uncool statement. Such generalisations, are both unethical and unfounded.
You could go with Lazarus[0]. It is dead simple to use (hope you like Pascal, though) and can use native widgets from your choice of Win32, Cocoa, GTK+ or QT.

Of course one can.

It doesn't make it correct though.
It accords with my experience of multiple big cities. The comment you're responding to mentioned "crosswalk" which I take to mean a zebra/pedestrian crossing. Cars and motorcycles do stop at them, as a rule, if only because if they don't stop and something bad happens they are in serious trouble.

Some cyclists stop, many don't.
There's some cheaper ones around but with varying quality. I use Cycliq front and back and they're not perfect (the app is rubbish and it's surprisingly difficult to get both cams showing the same time), but they're currently the best for ease of use (e.g. overwriting old recordings automatically on the microSD card).
I think it ends with everyone being a programmer of some kind, and with the field splitting into more distinct fields.

Like comp sci split from math, and with all the specialisations we see already, it has to go that way.

You dont just study to be an engineer or a scientist anymore, you become a "microbiologist" or a "structural engineer", and a similar thing will happen to CS + IT.

Already, around the second or third year of university (if not earlier), someone interested in web dev will have a vastly different skillset than somebody interested in embedded. Someone interested in dev ops may have no clue about how to organize your stack when writing x64 assembly, and some software forensics person may not be able to tell the difference between React and Angular.js.

Already you dont hire a "programmer", you hire a "frontend engineer" or "embedded C programmer" etc.

I believe Low- and No-code solutions will continue to be added to any software it can be, making more "regular" people from other jobs aware of what conditions, loops and variables are. They may not ever become programmers the way we know it now, but they will be (and already are) programming their machines.
I have a Palm Centro, still functioning as a phone, but I'm a bit puzzled as to how to update the cryptographic root certificates. Probably a really bad idea too, because it must be using some very outdated code to talk to IMAP servers over SSL.

The Palm Pre is much less troublesome in that regard - and WebOS is a pretty nice mobile OS too. I was very curious when I saw it running on a PinePhone.
Dogs, cats, and goats all have notable "teen" periods. I suspect most mammals do. The "Awkward and embarrassed about it" phase.

You didn't think Googles effort to kill third party cookies was to help the people did you?

It's a ladder pull.
Because Mozilla, from all the looks of it, has turned from a company that innovated in the web, into a cash cow providing its CEO with means to support her luxurious lifestyle. This, as well as the fact that if I’d like to donate to the browser specifically, I can’t, screams “money laundering” and “corruption” to me. What else it is, if abysmal company performance is rewarded with bonuses?

Now there will come those saying that since it’s not a government, it can’t be corruption, they can go ans screw themselves in advance.
> Was telling people about trains and cars creating a need where there wasn’t one?

People were telling each other about these.

> Marketing doesn’t have to be evil.

No, indeed it doesn't. But as a rule it definitely appears to be. It's a bit like arsenic: it doesn't have to be negative but usually it is.

> Saying all marketing is evil is sort of a cop out for the people who do it badly.

If 99% of the people engaging in an activity are doing it badly then I'm all for reigning them in, in spite of the 1% that are doing a swell job.
I think the difference is just a matter of opportunity, not merit.

If Atlassian had the opportunity to become a Google-like company, threatening humanity's existence, as you suggest, Cannon-Brookes wouldn't have stopped it. He would in fact pursue it, become a trillionaire and then use a good portion of the money to do charity or green stuff to make it up for the evil he's done.

It's what our culture tells people to do since Roman Christianity values were imposed mainstream. You don't have to do it right, just regret, donate your wealth and ask for forgiveness.

The actors in the story have changed. There's no confessionals anymore, for instance, but the underlying story is the same...
> w3cschools

There is no such thing. There is the W3C, an international standards consortium that has published standards relating to the WWW, and there is W3Schools (no “C”), who seemingly picked the name to confuse people into thinking they were somehow a part of the W3C, which they frequently succeed at. The two organisations are not associated with each other in any way.
When your bonus is tied to making your incompetent boss happy, I’m sure you’d sit quietly through a horribly ran standup too.

I don’t see what is preventing anyone from operating like that today. I do that and I know many others do that. Yes sometimes there is cat herding to be done, but boundaries are needed or else you become a doormat. Stand up for yourself, time is limited in our lives.
I would not like to be stuck behind a car either. It's even against the law where I live to impede traffic with a motor vehicle.
>it does seem no company gets quite the same level of criticism as Mozilla on HN

People here literally accuse Facebook of being a global Orwellian totalitarian superstate that engages in genocide and MK-ULTRA style mind-control, but OK.
This "speed entitlement" is something that bothers me even when I am also a motorist. I get honked out of my boots if I do not accelerate towards a red light. Drivers feel entitled to move forward as fast as possible, regardless of others, physics or logic.

> How can adblockers react?

They shouldn't. Perhaps it's time to stop treating a behavioural problem as a technological one.

Perhaps instead a movement needs to start where if a website uses these technologies there's a way to inform them they've just lost a customer. Technology can help by automatically detecting these evils, aborting loading the page, then informing the webmaster of their offence, and the community of the offending page.
Problem with the latter example is those that are colour blind although I guess it's not much worse than asking people to sum up dice.

I'm guessing though they are more so looking at % correct and the actual behaviour of making a selection rather than just whether you are capable of adding up numbers.
Show HN: A new daily word puzzle
You're probably right, but then there are many factors involved - take Europe's GDPR, I'd reckon it'd be deemed unlawful under those regs but of course that doesn't help those of us outside Europe.

It remains to be seen how Google's Tag Manager actually works and I'd be surprised if data from your machine is ignored altogether. If your machine says nothing about you then Google won't know who you are - unless you have a fixed IP address and most ordinary users don't. Sure there's browser fingerprinting (but I never bother about this as I use multiple browsers on multiple machines which screws things up a bit).

When I used to worry about this more than I do now, I used to send my modem/router an automatic reboot signal during periods of inactivity, this ensured a regular change of IP address.

OK, so what info can be gotten from your machine if JavaScript is disabled? Some but it's nothing like what happens when JS is active - in fact the difference is quite staggering (ages ago I actually listed the differences on HN).

Presumably you could search for the post but there's an easier way. Use the EFF's test your browser site https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ and do the test with and without JS. Note specifically the parameters with the 'no JavaScript' message.

Also note the stuff a website can determine about you even when JS is disabled - with this info you can start tackling the problem such as randomizing your browser's user agent, etc.

My aim was never to kill evey bit of tracking, rather it was to render tracking ineffective and I've been very successful at doing that. The fact is I don't get ads let alone targeted ones just by turning off JS and having an ad blocker as backup. The only other precaution I take is to always nuke third-party cookies and to kill all standard cookies when the browser closes.

I'm not too worried about Google's Tag Manager, for even if Google tracks me it still has to deliver the ads and it cannot do so with JS disabled and an ad-blocker in place.

__

Edit: if you want to watch YouTube then Google insists you enable JavaScript. This is bit of a pain but it's easily solved with say the Android app NewPipe (available via F-Droid). NewPipe also has the added advantage of bypassing the ads and having the facility to download clips as well if that's your wont.

Of course, there are similar apps for desktops too.

IMDB shows The Irishman budget as a 159 million.

I would suspect it did not make that money back. The studios are in the movie business and not the lighting money on fire business.

I think we have just seen a fundamental shift in the tastes of the 18-35 demographic and what kind of movies they want to see. Quality fast food type movies as opposed to a full sit down multiple course meal type movie.

I love Coppola but I wouldn't want to invest in this project either at this point.
