I don’t think you understand my stance an intelligence or IQ tests the way I intended it.

I am just saying that having a high IQ (single measure of intelligence) doesn’t guaranty you that the person is skilled right for your job (multiple types of intelligence) and that the person might be so skilled that he/she is good in avoiding doing actual work and taking credit for the work of others.

I’ve worked with people like that, intelligent yes, but not a good programmer. Instead really good at sucking up towards the managers, getting others to help him and taking credit in the right way. An IQ test wouldn’t have washed him out.

Delphi didn't have generics. Not sure about more modern versions, but the power of the generics also impacts compile times. Java generics barely impact compile times at all but they're also nowhere as powerful as Rust and C++ ones.
Sure, if you include the price in the equation then this makes things different, you are right. I got biased by the nearly free University we get in Europe.

However, if you start something, I think that it is a good attitude to finish it, provided that you don't face major practical/financial issues along the way.
Ask HN: How do you cope with possible nuclear threat?
What are some coping skills you use or can recommend to tackle or just mitigate the impending doom that's hanging over our heads? I've noticed I'm becoming more scared, demotivated and depressed as the Ukraine conflict marches on and irrational people make nuclear threats.
There is a saying in Russia, at war all measures and ways are good (на войне все средства хороши). Whatever can be used will be used either due to convenience, due to malice, or due to any other reason.
Good to see even Windows adopting pointer authentication hardware, SPARC and ARM lead the way, with Intel having botched their MPX implementation.
To clarify, are you suggesting these are unusual because "farms" are being marked in urban areas? What is the possibility these are simply addresses of farming-related businesses (e.g. farm equipment suppliers)?

It's obviously not as clearly "proof" that it is live, but maybe you could add a fallback video that's processed if the user doesn't have a camera or doesn't grant access to it.

What we really need is a backstory for the ball. How did it end up between these two paddles? Why does it want to hit them? What happens when it goes into the void? What sort of love interest might a ball have?
Is a quality education really what is at stake here? Are the faculty teaching undergraduate courses that much superior to those who teach elsewhere? I suspect that if the quality of education is better, it is because of the college-readiness of the students admitted. (So kids, you are the customer, but you are also the product.)

Not sure. As I said in the other reply, if you don't finish it, provided that you don't face major practical or financial issues, to me it is a red flag on being able to commit and bring something to conclusion.
I believe they were referring to the concept of a "mix network"[0], in particular the features of anonymous remailers[1].

In fact, we don't need to rewrite the email protocols to add E2E encryption, as Delta Chat has shown; and if backwards compatibility isn't a goal, then everyone could just move over to Matrix, instead of reinventing email.

Implementing something like a mix net for email is actually not that difficult once PGP encryption can be assumed. Basically you'd just need each mail provider to offer a "switchboard" address in a .well-known location (or in the DNS), so that Alice can wrap her message to Bob in an outer layer message that's encrypted using Bob's provider's switchboard address's public key.

This prevents Alice's provider from knowing who specifically she was sending the message to (it would only know which provider). Also, as Alice's message would contain her signature to authenticate it, her provider could use its own switchboard address as the sender, so that Bob's provider wouldn't know it was Alice specifically who sent it.

"The law of unintended consequences" ... what are they going to do if the target demographic (in this case Asians) start their own merit-based and academic-based colleges and universities?

Sure, it's not cheap, but large communities have done much more expensive things in the educational space before, and of course being pure merit-based means that the graduates will (eventually) be more sought after than the standard colleges[1].

Will someone then cry racism then?

[1] Maybe not to the level that Harvard grads are.

> Do you have such opinion because in less than a week the Russian army with the directive to minimize civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure

You've got to be kidding me. Maybe you've missed the indiscriminate artillery and rocket attacks on population centers such as Kharkiv?

And the Russian army hasn't failed at occupation. It's miserably failing at capturing anything of note, properly conducting sieges ( Kharkiv was resupplied multiple times), basic logistics, basic air operations.
That's exactly it, once you're able to get past the intimidation from things like dark corridors, flailing enemies, abhorrent Things That Should Not Be, you can see they're actually fairly slow moving games, and deliberate action is the way to win - as opposed to a lot of games where button bashing and/or quick reflexes work just fine.

The games are punishing and challenging, but they're not unfair. Every time you die, you realize it's your own mistake; you tried to get another hit in, you forgot there was an enemy around that corner, you read a message saying "treasure ahead" in front of a cliff and actually believed it because it was actually true the one time. But there's so many games where you just don't have that amount of control over whether or not you will die there.

The previous game I was playing, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, has that problem because on the surface its combat system is based on reflexes and positioning. But in practice there seems to be too big an element of chance involved. Every strike is a roll of the dice whether the enemy will block or deflect it.

Whereas in, say Elden Ring, raising a shield will block attacks, but only until your stamina runs out. Rolling at the right time will avoid damage, but the challenge is in knowing the enemy's attack patterns - and some bosses have really long and unpredictable wind-ups initially. And an enemy with a shield, you can either wait for them to drop their guard, wear them out with attacks (which keeps you opened up for counter-attacks), avoid them entirely, or use completely different tactics like ranged attacks (arrows, magic) or even a cavalry charge.
Current journalism optimises for fear (especially after how lucrative COVID-19 reporting has proven to be). The more fearful and angry people feel, the more news they'll continue to consume.

It's best to take a break from reading too much about the current Ukraine situation. This doesn't mean being completely blind to it; however, balancing between your mental health and knowledge of current affairs will help you cope with the ongoing situation more than anything.

> You go through so many emotions on a tough boss. Start pretty confident, go through stages of "this boss is so stupid" to "the controls are so bad" to "I can't do this".

And with a lot of bosses, it starts with a "what the actual fuck is this thing?". I'm thinking e.g. Cleric Beast in Bloodborne, which is an Experience to run into initially because of its size, distracting appearance (lots of flapping fur), sound design, the music swelling up to an epic discordant mess, its aggression and the limited space. But also the second story boss in Elden Ring.
Emphatic full throated agreement.

Yes and: adopt European style club system for all intramural sports, thereby separating scholatics from sports in our public education system. As a taxpayer, I object to subsidizing professional sport's farm system.

None at all, if you check their post history they've been going on about MMOs stealing code for a whole day on multiple threads. It's probably some novelty troll account.
Thought the same. This is the German wet dream.
Let me use this thread to tell this somewhat related story of mine.

When I was still at university we had a C class and were doing it in a computer lab with partners (back then very few students could afford a laptop). I was always partnering up with the same friend. Since we were a bit bored with the class we started building our own pong in C.
Rendering was done in ASCII in the command line, with paddles being 3 pipes, the ball a capital 0 and the walls "#". We would spend some time at the beginning of the class building/improving it and at the end playing it. We used keys like "W" and "S" for the left player and "O" and "L" for the right player. Since the initial setup with rendering and "physics" of the game went quite fast, we thought about how to improve it and make it more fun.

What made it incredibly fun (at least for us) in the end, was the addition of bonus squares. So, between the two paddles, if the ball that you just touched hit a bonus square, it would activate an effect for you or for the game depending on the bonus. We had:
- "wall", would create a 3 squares wall at the location of the bonus
- "turn of the lights", would hide everything but the ball (even the paddles)
- "gun", would allow you to shoot and destroy walls and bonuses
- "bigger/smaller paddle", self explanatory
- "net", would temporarily put a net behind you preventing you from missing the ball
- and some more, like speed up the ball, add an extra ball, etc.

It's been my one and only experience building a game but I think it was the most fun I've had programming…
If anybody is up for re-building a pong with bonuses I'd be definitely up for that ;)

Back on the topic: love the implementation OP, pretty addictive. And, as can be read above, it brought back some nice memories.
Show HN: I created a website to monitor the war situation
I would argue that with further knowledge (e.g if we figure out Quantum Gravity), these interpretations will no longer apply at all, as they are equivalent descriptions of an incorrect (or, "effective"/approximate) theory.
It's not that we lack the tools to distinguish between Copenhagen and MW, but that they are designed to be not possible to distinguish. Further science will produce theories who have different interpretations (hopefully, just one :)
Kind of. It helps, but especially in Bloodborne it's no guarantee.

And Sekiro goes against that as well. While you do get some improvements in things like health, healing ability and weapon strength, the game still leans mainly on your own skills. It doesn't have an RPG style leveling system, any improvements are thanks to your own exploration and victory. It's really gratifying to get the deflects timed just right.

I've finished most of it, I'm close to the ending now but I somehow can't bring myself to finish it?

The thing I said, that you get hit by attacks that don’t visually connect.
I'd argue that Sekiro doesn't have an easy mode as such; while you can often explore different areas and alternative routes, when it comes down to it you need to master the combat system.

I'd argue it's possibly the least accessible From Software game. But, also the tightest in terms of combat.
Ask HN: What would you do with 50'000 Euro in my situation?
I'm a mid-30s German guy. I just broke up with my g/f after 10 years of relationship. I quit my job. And I'm about to leave my appartment behind. I have 40'000 Euro cash and 60'000 Euro in ETFs/stocks.

I'm wondering what really smart people who know a thing or two about business would do with say 50'000 Euro in my situation. And when I look for smart people online I tend to check out hacker news. How could I invest it in a way that symbiotically connects with starting a "new" life? 50k or even 100k is nowadays an amount that's on one hand a lot of money but on the other hand not enough to buy anything really significant. I mean there are houses for 50k but I'd have to invest a lot of money to renovate etc and they'd be in the middle of nowhere which comes with further costs. So - yeah, I don't know.

Let's consider it a thought experiment. You get an opportunity (or just thrown into that situation) to start from an almost blank slate and you have 50k and no debts. What would you do?

Must admit, the article and comments have completely changed my impression of the Souls series.

The "git gud" mantra has been drilled into my numbskull to the point where I would restart a boss fight even if I got hit once.

I got a wee bit too persuaded into rushing and mastering (which, of course, can't be done at the same time), because anything less meant that I ain't doing it right.

In the end, I gave up on the Souls series and classified it as not being for me, but now I'm considering returning to Bloodborne and Sekiro again.

Cheers for the new perspective everyone!
Definitely try Bloodborne as well, it's up there as well.
How do you know which is true? Are you just assuming Western sources are true and any contradiction is evidence of a lie?

This is reasonable to ask because Western sources have (also) been lying a lot, e.g. presenting photos taken last year as the Ukrainian president fighting on the front line today. So we have two lying groups and no obvious ways to figure out what's true. Occasionally you get lucky and e.g. reverse image search saves the day, but mostly, there's no way to detect lies.
That still works in the worldview I laid out, because you simply won't accept less. I guess part of my point was that it's not a bout COL specifically, it's about how low people in the market are willing to accept. If you have high COL you simply can't accept less, and if you have low COL but are in a spicy market, you don't have to accept less if you don't want to.
It gets tiresome that every character is a quivering Freudian ball of repressed trauma and mental illness, but it is otherwise a fun world.
Ukrainian state media did publish that Snake island defenders may be alive soon after Russian claims.

I think it is fair to hold media to high standards, but shouldn't we cut them just a little slack if their country is literally being invaded right now?

For the record, I personally know I can trust that last part because I have friends and relatives living in the east of Ukraine (none of whom are particularly politically biased either way, they have kids and want the attacks to end). I cannot report any wild rampage and killing of innocent civilians, but I can definitely confirm the invasion, the soldiers and military equipment, the inability to leave the city, blown up bridges and train tracks, people hiding in basements for days, explosions, etc.
A really unfortunate troll as the core of his argument, the invasive corporate control over our computing is indeed real and worrying.
Using Linux for 25 years, I never understand the complains about the desktop at least for me has been the best just because I can pick, choose and tweak (I love XFCE and BSPWM). My only issues was pre-2000, before mplayer there was no decent video player for Linux after that mplayer was really ahead of the competition (first one with framedropping AFAIK) It was also rough not having flash support in mozilla but that got solved and forgotten long time ago.

I worked a little bit with windows and OSX. For me Windows is a pain to maintain, everything is just obscure, I can't tweak the desktop to fit my needs and the worst thing is just see how fans and resources goes crazy and I cannot find a reason for that misbehaving. Not flexible at all.

OSX is a little bit nicer for me but still closed, not flexible and for some reason consumes resources like crazy.

We all have different experiences I think familiarity is the strongest factor.

While I agree in that Git’s UX is abysmal for the beginner or casual user, no one should have to endure resolving the same conflicts over and over again.

In my opinion, the following configuration should have been the default with Git:

git config --global rerere.enabled true
git config --global rerere.autoUpdate true

The `enabled` part means: transparently record all resolutions in a database, and re-apply them whenever bumping into the same conflict with the same pair of files in the future.

The `autoUpdate` part means: every time you finish re-applying a recorded resolution, please `git add` the result automatically for me so I don’t have to look for a "conflict" that’s actually no longer there.
Americans who had been sensible as late as the summer of 1914, maybe even into late 1916, did suddenly in 1917 discover all kinds of horrors in German thought generally. Still, I wonder how much a saner attitude would have contributed to the administration coming up with sounder plans for the peace.
Tools to separate signal from noise will also get better in the future. You can imagine that in 100 years time, using a super duper AI search engine will perform far better than whatever some human decided to categorize stuff as today.

The assumption of good faith has to be earned, it's not a right. On this site users are mostly anonymous and so there is a rule that you assume good faith by default but that is not a license to say whatever you like and then get upset when called on it. It's especially vital for upholding the default assumption of good faith that people try hard to be precise in their words. In this case you said clearly that the assertions were unsupported which doesn't mean "supported but I don't like it". You did in fact say something untrue and if that's because you use language badly, that's a problem you are creating for everyone else. So stop it - admit your claim was wrong and move on to explaining why you don't like the support used.
