A lot of this stuff tends to be too game-like, you'd be surprised by how many people are unfamiliar with WASD controls combined with mouse movements to change the camera angle. There's a lot of coordination there that long-time gamers take for granted.

I find these conventions incredibly limiting when showing this type of environment to someone that doesn't play video games. It almost gets dismissed immediately.

I also wonder if a 3D environment over-complicates this type of experiment. This is essentially audio with an avatar, why not start with a 2D or isometric environment to reduce the complexity?

Over 15 years of professional experience. Developer, not a manager, but more than happy to spend time mentoring, doing code reviews, and talking/planning about design/architecture. Have experienced real scale.
The sheer amount of damage Henry Kissinger inflicted on the sane functioning of Western politicians brains is staggering.

He is not a sagacious "strategic thinker," but a real world Grima Wormtongue, and should be treated as such.
I got the same "old, weird internet" vibe that you did. Back in the 90's there seemed to be more moonshot ideas like VRML and The Palace Chat - things that were maybe a little silly and geeky but at least pointed the way to something that could eventually become more useful and developed.
This looks like blatant spam. There's almost no data behind the "calculator", and the values seem almost made up.
If you haven't encountered this browser before, I find it fascinating. It's meant for devices that aren't necessarily computers. For example, someone making a digital "sign" can use HTML and CSS, or dynamic HTML motion graphics, to create their content, and run it in Flow. It doesn't have to be able to run, say, Google Docs. However, the developer wrote a blog post about getting Google Docs to run, by fixing the necessary bugs and adding the necessary features: https://www.ekioh.com/devblog/google-docs-in-a-clean-room-br... For example, Google Docs keeps the focus in a hidden iframe, apparently, and Flow wasn't firing the right series of events when the focus traveled between frames.

The way I look at it, for a custom "browser engine" whose goal is to let you use an independent implementation of the DOM to create graphics and UIs that render on the GPU of an embedded device, it's delightfully over-engineered.
And if ARM started allowing everyone to use their IP for free you would expect them to survive? ARM the architecture might survive but probably no ARM the company. IMHO a more likely outcome with Risc (assuming it gets widely adopted) would be one or two companies like Samsung, Qualcomm, AMD or even Intel gaining a massive advantage and profiting from it instead of cheaply licensing their designs to other companies. I don’t really see how is that preferable to the ARM model where company can theoretically license the most advanced ARM cores there are (of course aside of what Apple is doing) or mostly equal terms.

Of course RISC might push them to make their licensing mechanism to be more flexible if they start considering RISC an a real threat to them (I don’t think this is very likely to happen in the near future, though)
Yes, but we are talking about a who’s who of the largest tech companies in the world, each of which has their own cloud service systems. One of them could host the content and the others could each pay for a full time person and it would be a few magnitudes less than my paying a single penny towards it a year.
Being open about our comp band only results in increasing the top of the funnel but they fail the first tech screen (which is a fairly simple problem - doesn’t require any data structures beyond a hash map and the algo could be figured out by a lay person). Decided to be more cagey so I could prefilter out people I won’t want to hire anyway. Better that way.

In my experience, the guys who make $700k are public with their expectations because they’re filtering out positions they’d be unhappy with.

That’s my lived experience. We do controlled experiments on a one month cycle to refine our hiring process.
One example of this was a study of how electrical currents affect bacteria. E. coli were grown in a medium through a which a current was being passed. Weird effects were seen, and eventually this was traced not to the current, but to a chemical that was being produced at one of the platinum electrodes. And thus was discovered the biological effect of cisplatin, today a standard chemotherapy drug for many kinds of cancer.

Thank you for your feedback, it is very helpful.

I am not trying to say anything with country A & country B, I wrote it purely as background info, but I do understand if people interpret it differently, as the rest of the article is quite harsh. It's basically saying that anything to do with their product is bad. Absolutely nothing wrong with Poland.

You're right about these claims. Too grandiose. Based on your feedback and other comments that I have received I have decided to take the article as it is offline. I will reupload a more neutral toned article, perhaps a mere comparison table later. Thank you for your comment.
Nvidia Confirms Company Data Was Stolen in Hack
I don't blame anyone for fooling around with alternative date formats but I do find it a bit silly, and distracting from whatever serious point they were trying to make. I can't imagine the hubris of believing anything we say or do now will matter (or even exist) 7900 years from now, and it's not going to be a problem before then-- if our date system is somehow still in use by that point!

...I think this might have been meant for another comment/thread anyway.
Friedman's K-Percent Rule
This post spends most of its time explaining types and kinds in general, and very little time explaining much about higher-kinded types or why they're useful - it just kinda rattles off a list of a few at the end. Really exploring one of those examples, why it's useful, why they need higher-kinded type support, how you'd get the job done without them, would have made this feel much more complete.

Also: end notes break the flow of reading - I have to click on it, the whole page changes due to scroll, I have to find the end note I clicked on, then I have to click back and find my place again - so I feel pretty annoyed when they add very little or could have been just a parenthetical, the way notes 3-7 inclusive (and especially 4-7 inclusive) do here.
I don't know how much was left but I stopped reading when everything I was seeing was essentially appeasement arguments.

That's fine, especially in a historical strategic argument context, but it's hardly balanced in terms of discussion of European security policy.

This is especially true given strong current evidence that Putin's stated concerns about NATO or the EU are a smokescreen. He has essentially said NATO is not a concern because of Russia's nuclear capability. And it's patently evident they are doing something to increase NATO involvement and strength, not weaken it.
SEEKING WORK - REMOTE I help non-technical founders build and launch Million Dollar MVPs. Are you a non-technical founder struggling to find technical partners to help make your startup vision a reality? I’ve spent the last ten years obsessing about how to help founders like you get their startups off the ground and into the marketplace. Since leaving Google in 2015 and starting No Nerds No Problem, I’ve grown this company to 10+ nerds across 4 different countries, been featured in Bloomberg, and have helped more than 25 companies launch their MVPs and raise a combined $650M in fundraising. And I can help you do the same.
Here's what my clients have to say:

“Before we started No Nerds' process, I wasn’t sure it would be worth it. Having gone through it, I can’t imagine it going any other way." - Sachin Gulaya (CEO, Alpine Vapors)

“James and his team stepped in at a critical moment in Wellness 4 Humanity's trajectory and delivered exactly what we needed to hit our deadlines." - Lian Pham (Founder, Wellness 4 Humanity)

“After three years of other agencies promising a lot but delivering little, getting to test a prototype after just a few weeks was very cool. From the first time we sat down, I really felt James got what I was trying to do.” - Andy Lin (Founder, Self Portrait Project)

Ask HN: What resources would you recommend to familiarize people with web dev
I work as web developer at a startup. One of my colleagues asked if there were any resources that they could use to familiarize themselves with the lingo and the process of software development, so they can collaborate better with us.

Are there such resources? All of what I found have the goal of “teaching” the actual concepts, which can be daunting for non-tech oriented folks.

It's better than other voodoo practices because it more accurately measures what is trying to measure.

Your second paragraph is arguing that IT employers should be agnostic to how intelligent their devs are. That really didn't make sense to me. All things being equal I'd rather hire smarter devs.
The timing of this information is interestingly coincidental with the end of the flu season, a war in Europe, and global anti vaccine protests.
This seems like an odd comment on a CPU review that doesn't dig into the chipset, battery life, or ports/features much.

Lets look into those.

[0] shows it's competing well on efficiency.

> The 35W class where the Ryzen 9 6900HS sits by default is the sweet spot, with efficiency very similar to the Core i7-12700H and even Apple’s M1 Pro, despite both of these products having fundamental advantages, like Intel’s newer architecture, and Apple’s use of a superior process node.

[1] They're using DDR5, PCIe 4.0, etc. and integrated graphics are well ahead of the competition. Battery life is also competitive.

> PCIe 4.0, USB 4, DDR5 memory, Wi-Fi 6e, and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2

This is also a bit of a weird comment given that the previous generation was well ahead of Intel on CPU performance, efficiency and battery life. This mid-cycle improvement loses the outright performance crown to Intel, but still competes well at lower power levels, and greatly improves the chipset features.

What does AWS have to do with a laptop APU?

Functional as in works as intended? Maybe but certainly not functional as in "Useful as powerplants"
To me that is all just unreasonable expectations in the first place. None of the reasons people want that kind of control and knowledge are valid excuses for the overreach. It's just something they want just like the countless things anyone wants.

All across the board MS picks the wrong people to say 'No, tough shit, gtf over yourself." to. They say it to normal users who want to do reasonable things, instead of to business owners and managers who want powers they have no moral right to.

It's fundamentally impossible to control information after it is communicated, no matter what technical gimmicks you concoct, and so it's invalid to even try in the first place. It's barking up the wrong tree and only harming the innocent and not even hindering the criminal.

If something is that precious then keep it in an airgapped lab and frisk people for cell phones at the door, and get nothing much done with that data that's so inconvenient to access.

If you need other people to access the info, then get over yourself and simply have people sign standard legal agreements. If the recipient gets hacked or something then they get hacked. That will still happen regardless. The annoying special access didn't change anything. A hacked client machine can siphon that same data.

MS just doesn't ever say "get over yourself" to the right people. They say it to you & me but treat the most offensive ideas from buisiness owners as very serious and valid needs.

It's made them a lot of money so it's not changing of course. I don't mean to pretend that there is any way or any remotest hope to change that. Only to point out how it's fundamentally wrong, and one of the reasons to simply try to avoid using any of their products and services as much as you can manage.

Goes all the way back to read receipts. The knowledge of when exactly I viewed a correspondence is obviously useful to a sender, but that usefulness does not make it something they have any right to, no matter what the excuse or rationalization is, no matter how much you try to invoke important sounding things that the message might have been about or how important sounding the consequenses like if a court case hinged on proving that you received a message or something. Not only does no one have the right to that knowledge, the mechanism doesn't even prove what it claims to prove anyway. A read receipt still does not prove that I read a message, only that an email client performed the transaction. If you really need an ack for a message, then you have the recipient, the person, send an ack, as in send another message back. Or send the message via a process server. If it's not important enough to justify a process server, then it's just not that critical and you should just get over yourself and accept that the recipient will get to it when they get to it, and you will survive not having this bit of control and visibility into someone else's life.

You could certainly do that with PGP. That would just be the key fingerprint. You would have to go look up the actual "PGP public key" after that. You could use web key directory (WKD) to make it transparent. Since secp256k1 doesn't support encryption there would have to be a lookup in that case as well.

I like this idea. Eventually we are going to have to come to terms with the fact that there is going to be a ridiculously long number and that number is the identity. We can't hide this fact from the user and hope that things are going to work out.

Hi - I launched PlotPanel yesterday (Monday).

I built it with Stripe, Django, AlpineJS, some HTMX, and TailwindUI. All five of these were new to me, but they were great to work with. In particular, I found their documentation to be some of the best I've had the pleasure of reading.

My motivation for PlotPanel came from feedback from my other project, https://Plotapi.com. It turned out that there were people who wanted to produce those kinds of visualisations but didn't have any coding experience. Eventually this led to my work on PlotPanel, which bring the features of Plotapi to people who can't or don't want to code.

There's a free trial if you want to check it out, it's currently limited to one visualisation type
Yeah. Did you guys is this principled when French NATO razed Libya to ground? I hope in future you will do the same to American as well and not being hypocrite. And China? Good intention but likely just selectively applied and enforced.
I would like to read this, but unfortunately my eyes are in their late forties even if my brain is only 25.

Posting a "$100k-$150k for X" position completely fails to communicate this. Intentional or not, this comes across as either you don't know what you want, or you're trying to sneak in extra responsibilities to the position without having to pay for them.

And I'll reiterate: $50k is a lot to pay for a "nice to have".

I'd say you need to really think about whether you need Y and Z. If you don't, just post a "$100k for X" position. If you do, post a "$150k for X, Y, and Z" position". If you must, post both--at least that's honest. But it would be better to come to a firmer conclusion about what you need before hiring.
i spent some time in "data science", back when it was just called "research", in a corporate environment.

95% of your value as a "data scientist" is figuring out how to squeeze diamonds from tons and tons of steaming piles of sh*t, and that kind of work is basically just filtering, collating, collecting, organizing from disparate data sets with different fields, data types, formats, some of them with varying degrees of accuracy. it's not fun, but very few other people are doing it, and the result is valuable to a lot of people, so it pays well.

Couldn’t have said it better. I also switched from fast-track engineer to EM for similar reasons; I loved the people I worked with and wanted them to be better represented. I wanted to get the roadblocks out of the way and let them thrive.

I miss development a lot, but I also find a lot of satisfaction in serving my team in this new way.

Still, that's a pretty tame effort (pointing out a typo) for an elite apologist. You don't address any of the points I mention.

Honestly, I'm pretty bored of hearing about these individuals who live their lives in luxury on account of their family undertaking some of form of trickery on the masses. And then because some later relative of their owns or writes for the NYT, they are feted and shoved down our throats, even 100 years later.
To add to this, it may also be worth noting that Russian developers have contributed quite heavily to Linux, BSD, Microsoft Windows and Solaris. I can only assume also MacOS.
