I started playing Elden Ring directly after finishing God of War on PC, and that is way more mashy. I don't think I realized how much so.

ER is my first FromSoft game and the length and weight of the animations is something that took me a very long time to get used to. Mashing R1 isn't going to do you any favors at all. I don't think I've ever played a game that respects your buffered inputs as much as this game. But I'm starting to dig it.
I hold the media responsible for fooling humans.

My concern is that CNN may also be “fooling” me in other ways, but in the same way other outlets have fooled others.

Meaning, they have an agenda, they paint a picture of the world through their own lense, and I won’t be a pawn in their game.

That's not the point. The point is to be able to retain that memory so you can form a unified view of the world and not have to resort to Google all the time. Did you think encyclopedias, dictionaries, and world maps didn't exist before Google?

...and, it is this sort of reductive thinking that's causing the US to fall behind in STEM. I will leave it to the reader to figure out how Boyle's Law literally applies to rocket science.

Again, a false dichotomy. You can have plenty of fun in 3rd grade summer without needing every second of it needing to be some kind of Elysian playground.
>Okay, by trying to operate all that (mostly incredibly crappy) equipment and massive conscript reserves in a hostile country all at once means just burning up your fuel and food much faster

Russia has unlimited food and fuel. And their capture of Ukraine will only solidify that. Soldiers and tanks are cheap. Su-57's and pilots are not.

That is mostly true now, but it doesn't have to be that way. We've come a long way with things like time locked transactions and social recovery features, but I agree it still needs to improve.

I don't think I'm under any misconceptions here, my work is related to crypto, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Assuming you are talking about Qt/wxWidgets, and I don't think they are easy to create bindings for due to being written in C++. I think they have been used because they represent the largest, most complete crossplatform codebases representing the traditional desktop GUI using either native widgets, or in Qt's case "simulated" native looking widgets.

In contrast, GTK is written in C AFAIK, and anytime a new language springs up the very first thing you generally see is a GTK wrapper. I have always suspected this is because C is far easier to wrap since most languages have a well defined C FFI, but typically lack a C++ one (due to lack of std ABI) thus Qt/wxWidgets bindings typically lag GTK.
Certainly despite the hate for PIP, I quite like the Amazon way. Make it easier to get a job then cut quite a few people in their first year.
Criminal justice reform has always been an interest of enlightened conservatives and libertarians, not liberals. We all know that Biden talked about "super predators" and pushed tough-on-crime policies which are clearly failing today. The BLM protests have really forced the policymakers' hand, but these protests came from the grassroots not from the liberal elite.
So according to the article the cost breakdown is

> $2.2 billion to build a single SLS rocket, $568 million for ground systems, $1 billion for an Orion spacecraft, and $300 million to the European Space Agency for Orion's Service Module

SpaceX's alternative to the SLS would be Super Heavy (Starship's booster), but that isn't ready yet, numbers are mostly Elon projections. From the rate at which they are producing prototypes we can guess it's much less than 2.2 billion though. Falcon Heavy exists and costs about $150M per launch (costs as in: "that's what customers pay" [1]). It falls short in payload capacity, but for the first few Artemis launches you could conceivably do it with two Falcon Heavy launches each, totaling $300M. For the later launches you need SLS or Super Heavy.

For everything else SpaceX doesn't have comparable offerings. A Dragon to the ISS costs around $55M per seat, so $220M in total, but it's not really comparable to Orion.

Yup, and the reason it’s working is Zelenskyy is putting himself at huge risk as part of it. Risk like that cannot be faked, and people know it. People know that some of the stuff is flashy PR stunts and exaggerations, but it doesn’t matter because Zelenskyy is clearly willing to risk his life for this. Like, an enormous, enormous risk. He has maybe a 50% chance of surviving this. Absolute legend. And we can see the whole country is cut from the same cloth.

That will to fight matters more than the sophistication of their weapons. Weapons without the will to fight just go right into the enemy’s hands as you surrender. In a sense, soft power then is the vastly more important power.
Others are pointing out that it's hard to call this a video game (agreed), but I never heard of the nimatron and it was interesting. So thanks for sharing anyway!

None of my comments were scoped to economically disadvantaged families – in fact my thesis is explicitly focused on culture, not economic circumstances or the education system. There are plenty of economically advantaged families whose kids are doing poorly at math.

I think the title is silly, but the article is reasonable.

I have this same problem with the documentation for the (really absolutely incredibly useful) Caddy webserver.

Caddy itself is extremely powerful and you can do a lot with the configuration. But finding how you do that requires exploring the documentation as if it were a hypertext adventure. Some of this comes from the documentation effort being repeated for the significantly different 2.x version, but it's also a deliberate choice.

> On generics, I think the team’s position has mostly been that it’s a big project and there’s been other priorities like rewriting the compiler in Go, improving the GC, etc. And that in the spectrum of trade-offs for generics systems they didn’t want to go all the way to Java or C++.

That was not the initial team position. Their initial position was "why would you even need generics? Please provide us a usecase". They actively denied there was a need for generics.
We have hard-wired non-programmable computers in production today. GPUs have sub-components that do fixed-function computation and don’t run on instructions. I suspect this analog AI processor is not programmable: https://www.mythic-ai.com/product/m1076-analog-matrix-proces.... It seems likely to me that we’re about to see a lot of growth in specialized non-programmable hardware since chips have started hitting size & process limitations. Turning common workflows into fixed-function hardware is one of the lowest hanging fruits we have for increasing compute efficiency.

What is the type of product?

I had an app that would be fun for college students and parties. I printed out some posters with QR codes and placed them around a local campus. One was just a red solo cup with the QR under it - that got the most visits. The app wasn't successful due to marketing and user friendliness/flashiness.

Basically, if your product has a user base that would frequent a physical space, it could be an option to go low-tech with posters/flyers.

> You'd hope libc wouldn't break.

glibc is quite good about ABI compatibility - not any worse than Win32.

X11 also has a stable protocol. Even with Wayland there is Xwayland for backwards compatibility.

OpenGL and Vulkan have stable ABIs.

Your program location doesn't matter - unless you are installed via the package manager (in which case the package specifies the location) you can load everything relative to the binary.

User config location is gained a new standard for where you should put things to not mess up the home directory but that does not break anything. Old programs can still write to ~/.yourfancydotfile.

Evenvironment variables only matter if you wrote your program for them to matter.

Preinstalled libraries are irrelevant - ship your own like you have to do on windows for anything that is not part of the base system.

Acceptable keyboars shortcuts and standard dialogs are integration concerns and not strictly needed. Not saying that you shouldn't provide DE-integration where that makes sense but that can be done on top of sane fallbacks. Also, there is now a cross-DE API for standard file dialogs: xdg-desktop-portals

.desktop files have been standardized for a long time so you should not have problems registering file types - it is of course up to the DE to manage the default and that is a good thing.
I don't mean pay for the whole amount. Say the property costs EUR200k. You put EUR50k down as a deposit and get a mortgage for the remainder. The monthly rental then pays off the mortgage, and after 10-20 years you have a house worth much more than EUR200k (due to appreciation in the housing market). Obviously you need to do your own calculations to make sure the rent covers the mortgage, allowing for periods where the property isn't rented, repairs etc.

Getting a "buy-to-let" property like this is pretty common in the UK. I'm assuming something similar would work in Germany.
Spending extra time reading to your kids, sending your kids to tutors, paying for summer programs, sweating over neighborhood to move into for their good schools...many of these things are now considered “inter-generational privilege transfer”. But not long ago, they were simply called “good parenting”.

Why even bother doing good parenting when the ideologues in charge want to “fallacy of meritocracy” away any advantages you have given to your kids?

I used to be pretty annoyed by conservatives boasting about "family values". I thought it was just performative virtue signaling. But looking at how the far left views the hard work of parenting as something that ought to be "equalized away" has me thinking maybe the I was wrong.

Metrics GTM leaders can’t afford to ignore
I thought this post might resonate with the HN audience so posting here.

As startup leaders grow their business, they need to understand the core drivers of growth. Based on my experience at several startups, I've summarized the top six metrics that help you deeply understand the revenue, cost, and efficiency of your business.
Pretty sure it has something to do with "recurrent revenue". Having 100 subscriptions means you have a guaranteed that the in the next month you will get 100 * cost in. On the other hand being a pay perview model leaves you to the risk of having high fluctuation of costs. Payperview I see it favored for content providers who provide high cost content once in a while. On the other hand, making a subscription based model works better for content that you put out fast and at a relativelly low cost IMO
Need is gameable too

I respect that they have reasons not to release Kreya as open source. Fine.

But claiming "We love open source" is a blatant lie: the article makes it really clear that they only love the aspects of open source that are to their advantage. They should better honestly write this.
> In any case, it would defeat the purpose of having an open source driver.

Not really. Having a closed-source on-card firmware blob but linking it with an open source kernel-side driver would have so many benefits, first of all not needing to depend on NVIDIA to keep up with upstream changes and stuff breaking at every kernel, xorg or whatever upgrade.
That's what I'm talking about. Unless you have familial ties, or you are a refugee, exceptional worker or some other special status, it's a diversity-weighted lottery.

Towards a unified theory of web performance
I can sympathize with the author. I once attempted Hugo and gave up after a few hours and proceeded with vanilla PHP, which for most contexts is better and easier than any static site generator.
Well rounded and whole is an odd term. Can you explain that another way? Everyone who becomes sufficiently specialized and proficient in one thing is limited in the breadth of their experiences due to their metaphorical 10,000 hours being spent somewhere else (study).
It's a problem with most systems that introduce a number of new concepts, such as the documentation for the Spring framework.

One answer as a reader to deal with the circularity by reading the documentation and then reading the documentation again and then read it again until you know where everything is and then you look it up.

The worst thing about this situation is that people go look up wrong answers on programming splogs and StackOverflow and by the time you find a hugo that's been worked on for 3 years there is no rhyme or reason for how things are done because nobody has ever understood how hugo works and now you can't fix anything without risking massive breakage.

I am going through this right now with a project that I may wind up doing with hugo. On one hand I can make the case that hugo is good for my case but I can also say that I'd be happier customizing a Python-based solution or that I think the markup in hugo is less than optimal (I guess I can do anything with shortcodes but I'd really like to do visualization and unique typography in some ways... I don't want to make something that looks like a second rate substack.)

I haven't had the heart for a real battle against circularity by reading the documentation and with no definite deadline to get my hugo site up I find that other projects are tempting to think about instead...

I love open source, but commercial software is completely fine in my opinion. I think the idea that there needs to be a way how open source can be monetized is very damaging to the idea itself. You can do that through support and expertise of course, but can also sell the software itself.

You can also open source it later if you are established but you can also choose not to. The advantage of open source is that you may be able to leverage the ingenuity of people outside your company, get them invested in your software. I believe most are in open source to share code with each other, not necessarily to build a business.

Most people that make money with open source don't really offer the software, they offer the whole package of a solution that can solve a problem for business customers. But not every form of software can fit into such a scenario.
I cant think of anything more definitionally anti-competitive than keeping mcflurry machines available so you can crush any DQ that pops up in your vicinity by fixing it ("oh whoops... it was unplugged!"), and then also crushing a business that aims to solve your problem to help serve customers better.

Let's get the FTC on this, afaik it's illegal to advertise a product you have no intention of actually serving. eg: used car dealers used to do this with an "amazing deal car", which often never existed. People would come down and get enticed to a diff model at a high price.

edit: The "whoops it's unplugged" was a joke about absurd root causes, but also intended to imply equivalently poor attempts to keep the machine working. That is I do not think they literally did not plug it in, but I do think they are not trying very hard to keep the machine up and running. Other threads point out that the real root may actually be that the original creator of the machines made a complex/crap machine and the cost of technicians makes it unprofitable to bother
Preserving this history is the ultimate form of “backward compatibility” in software speak.

Others might argue it’s “technical debt”.

Very recognizable. I've used Hugo for exactly one website, as a first introduction to static site generators. The site still runs, and if I need to change something running the `hugo` CLI still works. But it wasn't easy to get started, with all these new concepts, and this site explains clearly the trouble I had.

Perhaps it's expected that when you use Hugo, you already recognize most concepts from other static site generators?
> Once you open source a project, it is out in the open.

Gitlab disproves this.

E.g., they have no solution on the horizon for dealing with spam for their open source Gitlab Community Edition. That means that for common use cases like having an instance open to the public for participation in GSoC, a gitlab-ce instance will get eaten alive by indonesian casino spam (or whatever the current spam offerings happen to be).

But they do have a solution for their proprietary Enterprise Edition which uses a proprietary blob. One of their employees suggested I just switch to that version because it's apparently available free of charge.

The other possibility is to use whatever they run on their gitlab.com service. In that case it's not my instance so the license doesn't really matter as much. Nevertheless, I'm almost certain they are running their proprietary spam filter there so it's not open source either.

In conclusion, this is a perfect refutation of the author's point. Start open, run a service that's free of charge, and slowly cut off the flow of key features to the open source version (or simply do not care about that flow).

The desktop? Maybe not. But Linux has done well with laptops in recent years (Chromebooks). Definitely not "taken over", but 30 million units a year is nothing to sneeze at either.
