That seems like a purposefully inflammatory and reductivist response to a sincere post about technical experience.

Perhaps you should evaluate whether your post adds to the conversation, or is intended to be a character attack on the GP.
Markdown files can be backed up offline, version controlled with Git, grepped (in-file text search) and finded (search for filenames), parsed with awk perl or sed (yes, sorry, I've done that more often than I like to admit), edited with VIM (I live in VIM), and many other advantages.
Most payroll companies support the integration. So step 1 is probably pay for an expensive payroll platform. They are going to have meta data for the fake company, so your $2MM salary is coming from a 1-10 person company with no website or anything might be suspect.

I don't know which community is toxic and wouldn't even risk using such strong term.

Still, I have to say, it's really weird to see (last few months) everything being rewritten into Rust, just for the sake of pride(?).

Upstream telemetry on a crash?
To what extent are the resulting co2 emissions of a program linked to its runtime resource use? On a succesful SV "web scale" app they are no doubt notable, but for 99.999% of programs the costs of getting it written surely dominate. The CO2 footprint then comes from the resulting consumer spending and other downstream economic activity, quantifiable by carbon intensity of the economy ($/kg/CO2e). [1]

As a thought exercise, think what happens when a company engages a consultancy to make a Postgres backed Java or Python app running in AWS to replace a business process run previously in a overgrown Excel sheet and brain of a soon to be retired domain expert.
Programmers are hired, (second) cars are bought, overseas vacations are had, what happens to co2 emissions? The choice between Java or Rust makes zero difference. The choice between Java and Excel might, but not because of runtime performance...

TLDR; almost always it's the development budget, not CPU use.

[1] You can see this number by country at https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/co2-intensity - about 0.1 - 0.6 kg/$ in industrualized places
I banned Samsung product from my house for a decade (2004-2014). Samsung product is always giving me the crap quality feel. I now unbanned it to twst drive some of thei innovations. Their S21+ is quite good. S22 Ultra is so complicated, I am not sure it will last 1-2 years. I give their folds easy pass as I know their screen won't last daily usage. Just google it. I missed Nokia. I will never forgive that Elop guy who stopped Nokia going Android. We all would have incredible phone by now, instead of crap quality with feeble experimental tech.
Especially since a large number of people are probably downloading the app in a panic at the airport on crappy overloaded WiFi or cell signal.
Interesting, I've found Delta's app to be usable (above average?). Sort of funny that a usable app is my above average rating but I've found Delta's app just doesn't get in the way. I'm looking forward to trying United.

> Temperature was often above 30 degrees in the summer. I didn't think much of it back then, went into office, started working and forgot everything but after a while I realized I was drinking 1.5l water during the work day without needing to visit the restroom and I would be exhausted when I came home.

These conditions are improper for extended work hours and intellectual work. I don't know how it is on your country but generally there are regulations regarding that. For offices the ideal climate is ~25 degree C, 40-60% humidity and <1m/s wind.
> Painting an entire community with the same brush seems to itself be fairly toxic behavior berift of signal.

Communities are painted toxic all the time rightly or wrongly. To say community have feeling and are to treated as person does not seem to be appropriate.

Also calling people toxic who called some community toxic is akin to name calling and I dare say much more common in Rust circles.
Wow. I think my mind just blew a fuse. I like the concept. I like that one took the ability to detect being offline as a awy to create not only a statement, but also exemplify it.

I would have (if I would ever have had such an idea - unlikely) and added footnotes like in scientific writing instead of not linking out. But whom am I to judge.
> But is it morally right to tell individuals who they can and cannot associate with

No law is saying that you can or cannot associate with someone. You have always been free to pick your friends.

Anti-discrimination laws are saying you can’t refuse service based on someone’s status as a protected class (age > 65, gender, race, religion, etc.).

Laws basically are morals. So there’s no right or wrong, just costs and benefits.

We know the cost of allowing discrimination by looking at history: segregation, generational decline, hate crimes, genocide, etc. When you allow one group permission to treat another group differently based on something that group can’t change or shouldn’t have to change about themselves then bad things typically happen.

What’s the benefit of allowing discrimination? Not much I can think of.

Maybe try a little experiment: pick a letter of the alphabet like ‘A’. Now, go about your day, but pretend anyone who’s name contains an ‘A’ doesn’t want to do business with you. Ask everyone their name (because in this society pretend that names are super important to people’s belief systems) and you have to go to a different gas station, coffee shop, restaurant, get a different Uber, etc. if the person doing business with you has an A in their name. Pretend that these folks don’t want to do business with you and you don’t want to force them to.

These are good questions you’re asking, but the history I’m aware of is pretty clear cut about the dangers of discrimination.

Basically every law that’s ever been passed had to go through this scrutiny:

Should we allow murder? What’s the benefit of allowing murder? What’s the cost of telling people “who they can and cannot” murder?

We like to think of the US as a bastion of freedom, but you don’t have the freedom to buy drugs, pay for sex, stone adulterers, own a wife, conduct honor killings or discriminate, unlike some other countries where you are free to do those things.

The question of freedom is not how much you can do as an individual. The question is how much you can do as an individual before you start harming others. That will always be a moving target, but for discrimination I personally think it does more harm to the group than the benefit it could potentially give to an individual.
I've talked with folks that have worked on their code.

I think that it's unreasonable to expect a Lambo (or even a Yugo) to accommodate a 300Kg man.
Yeah, I very much disagree with the hydraulic brakes part too.

Every bike shop employee I've talked to told me hydraulic brake maintenance is harder, but you need to do it so infrequently that they take less total effort. They feel great and have been working great for me with no work needed so far.

I used to have mechanical disc brakes and IMO they were worse than both rim and hydraulic disc brakes. They constantly needed adjustments, the cables stretched, they rubbed and made awful noises, and they weren't nearly as precise or effective as hydraulic disc brakes.
Actually these things are not reliably safe. Doing this is pretty irresponsible.
Hi! JD here, Hydra's CTO.

Hydra does not use FDWs except for Postgres-to-Postgres communication (for now). What we found was that FDWs do not do pushdown very well, even when Postgres has full information. You can get FDWs to push down aggregations, but complex queries with subqueries etc quickly get slow again. In short, our goal is to have your queries take full advantage of the power of each datastores, and we found that FDWs do not accomplish that goal.

We want to support GraphQL at some point, so same goes for us!

We are thinking about an OSS version, I think how we do "limited" is a big part of what that means. What would you like to see in an OSS version? What would you use it for?
I actually used to be an avid Sublime Text coder, but at some point I switched to VSCode for other aspects of DX besides performance and my happiness with that changeover (compared to when I'd tried Atom in the past) is what convinced me that we could definitely build an Electron app that, although the perf would never be best-in-class, could definitely be good enough for 99.9% of users and use-cases.

We definitely haven't optimized quite as much as the VSCode team, but not being fully optimized means I can still improve perf for our users (myself included), which I'm always happy to do!

Looking forward to the support for MongoDB and other no-sql stores. Interested to hear how you're trying to approach that.
They spend a lot of money trying to offer competitive features on their flights - like maybe watching streaming videos on the plane enabled by the app. To the extent that passengers can't finish a 439MB download of the app just before they board, the app size wastes investments in services of the airline.

Couple bad development practices with archaic technology for ticketing and we get the worst of both worlds. I've worked with two airlines and it was fairly frightening to see what type of BS they're working with and against.
bingo, I've gone from about $56k to $130k in about 8 years by changing companies. I know another guy who stayed with one of the companies for about 30 years. He was making less then me when I got hired, but about $15k and now he's at about $70k.

This should really end. Job hopping should not be necessary to get a decent wage.
Do you have any data to back this claim?
If you're not going to service black people I might just have to think you are a racist. Just like if you refuse to serve the handicapped or LGBTQ I might think you are bigoted. And if you refuse to service people that use cash I might also make some further assumptions.
Yes, that's how it used to work. When you bought an operating system, you received support for that product for multiple years.

Similarly, in the pre-cloud office days, you would still receive updates to your software after the purchase.

It's still the case with video games.
> just for the sake of pride(?).

It's to prevent all memory safety bugs.
The coffee shop video is the sole reason I purchased it. Not that I'd really ever use it that way, but I want to live in a future where I could in principle do so without shame LOL
Yep, agree 100%. Few hackers remain on hacker news.
Luckily it is a Linux device, we're the sort of weirdos who'd do such a thing.

In 3 years or so, this will be normalized, right? People will want to wear their apple VR things, to coffee shops.
I hope so too! But, I was trying to think of if I've ever seen the Linutronix folks working on the Intel graphics code. I don't think I have:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...

For very selfish reasons, I'm hoping that this acquisition will give the Linutronix folks even more of an opportunity to contribute to the core kernel and especially arch/x86.

Ask HN: Any Good Books on Marketing?
Marketing has been a really tough field to find good books about. It seems that any recommended book is just a form of marketing for the author's consulting services.

I'm looking for something like Spin Selling but for marketing. Any recommendations?
Interesting. Thanks for the "Show"!

I'm still pretty new to VR and experimenting with a Quest 2 I recently bought out of curiosity really (the tiny price helps; as I'm not planning any extensive/real use, I don't feel like being very valuable product myself).

> Nintendo is probably the most universally hated gaming company

That's a _fascinating_ claim. Just off the top of my head, I can think of Blizzard/Activision and EA who I think of as more-hated (for labour practices and working conditions; and for microtransactions and sequel-itis). I've never heard any opinion below ambivalence for Nintendo, and its fans are rabid.
Porn is almost as unavoidable as ads, especially for kids. We know the average age of a boy viewing porn is 11 (1)and that virtually all of them will see porn by 15(2). Of porn viewing done by minors 22% are done by children under 10 (3). Porn has also been proven to have significantly more impact over your brain than advertising. The dopamine response to seeing porn is similar to crack (4). You can't get addicted to ads. Pornography is categorically more dangerous to society than ads, tracking, and privacy invasions.

There were several vaccines for smallpox, later ones, unsurprisingly, better than the earlier efforts.

So the 1844 epidemic was met with the best they had, but it wasn't without problems.

I would be that compiler differences are trivial. Especially since all C compilers are also C++ compilers. You may just have tiny different language semantics that may optimize differently.

I think what would matter more is that C++ encourages different patterns which may be less efficient. So instead of using an on-stack buffer you may use a std::vector or instead of a data-structure tuned to your application you may just use std::unordered_map. Of course this can bite both ways, the provided data-structure is likely more performance optimized than what you will write (most of the time) so if it is a good match for your use-case you may get better performance from C++.

So I don't agree with "C++ can't be slower than C because that C is C++" because your average C++ isn't C. It is like saying "C can't be slower than asm because you can just embed the asm in your C program", it is true after infinite optimization time, but doesn't reflect how most of most C programs are written.
Ok I misremembered. It was actually a pre-release of what would become Windows XP.
I don't understand why this actually happened, why were the names not stripped? That seems like a terrible thing not just for size but also for insights into the developer's process (in this case). Shouldn't Xcode be doing this automatically? The author even points out that Swift doesn't need them, so why are they there?

Seems like something pretty fixable too... Only scan areas of the disk which aren't part of already valid filesystem structures, including the users files.
I suspect it's a combination of the intense passion people feel to work on this problem and the small user-base needed to support a small team to do the work.

I'm not so good at ballparking operational expenses, but Supernotes 2 probably needs somewhere around 2000 users to break even, which probably isn't hard to achieve.

After that, the founders are fully supported to pursue their passion. Sounds like a great business model for someone who wants to do this, and I think this is why you see a profusion of utility apps with ~$10/mo pricing models on the market today.

Right now Hathora writes game data locally to disk. This is nice for the local dev experience since you don't need to have a db running locally.

For production use cases I've been mounting a networked drive (AWS EFS) to provide shared storage across nodes. It should be pretty easy add additional storage adapters (like Postgres) as well.
Very cool, Plausible looks like a solid alternative to GA - Thanks for pointing it out!
Frequency of use seems like a better metric than alphabetical order. The order of the alphabet is arbitrary. Besides, I think this is fairly normal - I just had a look at all the applications I have open now and not one has submenus in alphabetical order

> so total sales tax is 8%

GP was comparing to European Union by stating sales tax in the US "generally ends up being about 18-20%, which is in-line with VAT in most Euro countries"

Most countries in the EU have 20%+ VAT indeed [0], however the average combined sales tax in the US is 7% [1] - a third of that.

There are two browsers involved, both dealing with just one site and neither in any way aware of the other.

The outer browser is running on the user's machine, loading a page from the attacker's origin. That page makes no cross-site requests, but just establishes a websocket connection to the attacker's server (the data connection for the remote desktop protocol) and renders the remote desktop to the outer browser on a canvas.

The inner browser is running on the attacker's server, just configured to show no URL bar or other chrome. It has loaded the genuine login page of the target site completely normally.
Upvoted for the excellent feedback.

1. We'll do a better job defining the term "VR Computer" in our sales page.

2. We'll consider adding a keyboard/mouse as optional add-ons. We have thought about including a "keyboard apron" as an item add-on that is actually differentiated from other keyboards, and one that would be particularly useful for VR computing (with the added freedom of movement).[1] Would something like this interest you? Note that we'd use a more accessible keyboard than the 40% "Corne keyboard" one shown in the photo.

3. We're going to add some of our comparison charts showcasting the Simula One versus other products/prices. They were included in a recent blog post[2], but aren't featured on our shop. Looks like they would be helpful there as well.

4. We're definitely interested in developing "3D office apps" (or something like a Linux ecosystem for them), but decided that the first step was to get people using our 2D VR app environment first.

5. At a high level, SimulaOS is going to be NixOS + our VR window manager. The current features of this window manager are outlined here: https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula. We plan to add to these features over time (especially including: VR app tiling/window grouping and hand interactions). This should be better showcased in our shop though for sure. Thanks for flagging this.

In the before-times, this would’ve been life-altering for devs who would frequently travel by plane.

Pre-pandemic, remember computering in economy class? You were lucky if you could see your laptop screen! With this gadget, your screen is all around you and your keyboard can literally be on your lap.
These kinds of translations are so soulless. They are only good to be read along side to really get the meaning. I love the literal-ness but hate the word choice.
I wish 1Password had ways to add additional layers of security to especially-sensitive content like crypto keys (like a separate password, or only downloading the content on a subset of your devices, or Yubikey to encrypt content).

I have so much stuff in 1Password, I'm terrified I'll get a virus that will steal my password + encrypted 1pass data.

As it stands, this is not something I'm willing to store in 1pass.
How big an environment are we talking about? More then about 50 servers, you're underpaid if you aren't making 6 figures.
It’s impossible to express the same content using simpler words without making the text much longer, which defeats the purpose of making it easier to read.

The more precise a term is, the more it expresses without added verbiage, but it’s also less likely to be widely understood.
This question is context sensitive in that it can only be answered if its dependent question "Who is the intended Audience?" is known. Writing contents and style should change based on audience needs. Simplification is not always better.
