Very good article, at least for me.

Mostly just precedent. Male action heroes tend to be fighters. Even clever Odysseus just straight up murders all of this foes when he returns to Ithaca.

Female action heroes are generally few, and many of them that are, are either more tricksters or agile or just kind of oversexualized replicas of the male variety. Many of them tend to be physically weaker than their opponents even at the climax of their films and overcome it through other means whereas male action heroes will more frequently prove themselves to be superior in a pure battle of fisticuffs, sometimes even sacrificing an advantage they have so that they can "fight like a man". Consider, perhaps, Ripley from Alien and Aliens. Always underpowered. Uses a loader suit for her final confrontation.

Captain Marvel is undeniably aware of the gender connotations here. It's a pretty explicitly mentioned barrier when they discuss how women couldn't be fighter pilots. She's unusual in that she's just a powerful bruiser kind of female and is way more powerful than her foes.

Would it be entertaining to watch a bunch more female (or male) led films that take this same approach? God no. Fights are fun. If you want to subvert that for an interesting message it's got to be somewhat novel each time.

Though personally I think fights are more entertaining when they're not clearly aligned with any moral message. John Wick, perhaps, as a counterexample.
There are very few US engineers who can afford to buy a house outright. The ones making $200K+ salaries are mostly in HCOL areas where houses are very expensive. And the ones who can afford to buy outright are usually doing so based on equity gains, not salaries.

I am looking for Kindle alternatives as Amazon has closed my account unilaterally. I was looking for alternatives and Kobo seems to be the only alternative to Kindle. RSS integration via Pocket seems interesting. Apart from the ereader feature, how does Kobo compare against Kindle ? Do you have any recommendation for which model to buy ?
I agree. The article says:

"MarketRank is built on the analogy of the market. An object with a higher market value is probably better."

This is already how SEO works: if you get a link from another website to your content, it's like a "vote" for your content. A vote from a website with lots of votes is worth more.

The result:

This system is intensely gamed. People and businesses buy high-ranked domains and create private blog networks to set up backlinks to content that companies want to rank. Billions of dollars are at stake.

It'll take a lot of effort to come up with something that can't be gamed. I appreciate the effort, but I don't think this is it.

As with any social or morality based topic, people drift back and forth between wide and narrow scopes. People tend to use the most extreme and narrow scope to establish a point, and then casually shift to create the impression of that point applying to the wider scope.

I wouldn't say there's goalposts here or winners and losers, we're all throwing out ideas. Issue pops up, humans suggest fix. New issue pops up, new fix needed. This is how all stuff evolves.

I guess I'm more broadly reacting to the sentiment in most comments I'm seeing (which is itself a trope in the dynamics of how upvote-based communities work).

Based off all the recent "Google results now suck" posts that went viral, it seems there's broad sentiment that Google is now a cesspool of SEO'd-to-death affiliate marketing.

But it also seems there's broad sentiment to shut down and discourage new possibilities before they even get attempted, regardless of potential merit.

It seems like an irrational dichotomy.
When I say there's little room for corrective action, I am specifically speaking about the choice to pursue the MVP strategy. A person who starts a company and decides to embrace the MVP strategy is stuck on a hamster wheel: if they've spent a year and not validated anything positively, they cannot "just" change strategy because the organisation has been built atop of the idea of small ideas, not big ideas.

My experience is that most businesses that pursue the MVP strategy never leave the MVP stage, regardless of the viability of the thing that originally inspired them, because they believe to MVP properly is to surrender all creativity, vision and intuition to numbers, which is in turn to surrender what's important when building anything.

No matter what strategy you choose, there has to be a meaningful amount of intuition and understanding to be able to make decisions: a purely data driven approach (with arbitrary goals like "someone paid us") is predicated on product development being entirely quantitative. Customers lie not just in what they say but also in what they do: getting a customer to pay is very easy compared to, say, building a sustainable business. People would have paid for faster horses!

People who espouse the success of the MVP strategy in their own businesses are often people with a level of creativity/intuition/understanding that most people do not have. MVP is a powerful tool in the right hands, absolutely, and I don't doubt that you're one such person, but MVP as a strategy for "normal" people has so many foot guns that I would never recommend it over a grand vision strategy. How many people are capable of picking the right customers to talk to? How many people are capable of understanding customer behaviour? How many people are capable of balancing outlier vs. representative behaviour?

I believe that normal people will have a higher chance of success by pursuing a vision than they would by following customer behaviour from the start.
Under the Iron Curtain it was quite popular to build whole car out of spare parts in the seventies up to early eighties due to rationing. It was significantly cheaper too.
I bought an Apple device specifically because of LIDAR. I've found easy, convenient, "good enough" 3D scanning to be very useful both for recreational and professsional purposes.

Other uses of LIDAR (measurement/data collection, AR, photography) are also likely to become more popular over time.
I like Make, and use it in personal JavaScript ecosystem projects that do actually need to build things with interdependency (eg https://github.com/justjake/quickjs-emscripten/blob/master/M...). I’ve also seen Makefiles grown to be horrendous monstrosities masquerading as command-line tools; for about a year at Airbnb we used a 1000+ line Makefile as the main tool for fiddling with Kubernetes cuz one of our senior engineers didn’t like Ruby, and I’ve seen another one get close to that level of cravenness.

What I learned from supporting Make and shell among a few different audiences is that most developers have no interest in how to write or maintain shell-like tooling. They forget or mess up quoting rules constantly, and eschew learning things and good design in these tools to a much greater degree than in their “normal” work in Java/Python/Ruby/Typescript/Golang.

For every POSIXly Correct HN Commenter (of which I count myself a member), there’s 100 regular software engineers who won’t read a `man` page on what $@ or $< mean in Make. I know that if I start writing a Makefile for $JOB, it’s gonna be me and that one guy who uses tcsh who are gonna maintain it and answer questions.

(Although for what it’s worth we don’t use package.json scripts either thank goodness. All our complicated build steps are typescript commands, and our glue is CI system YAML files.)
> i don't think germans are so scared of porn

I don't think this is the issue at all to be honest. It's not about puritanism or anti-pornography or whatever, it's about the people involved, the victims who are forced into prostitution (on camera or otherwise), or those who get their private videos published as revenge or as a consequence (blackmailing).
The more restrictions and rules you place on benefits the higher the "fraud" rate will be since any mistake in following those becomes "fraud." The US tends to put in many rules and restrictions then increases them if a news articles talks about fraud.

Personally if I wanted to write similar functionality in standard C++ (much like fmtlib's compile-time format string checking) rather than compiler-specific C extensions, I'd try making wmemcpy a template on the T* being passed in, then check against sizeof(T). This raises several questions:

- Does this falsely raise buffer overflow errors for T with flexible array members where the actual allocation is bigger than the T?

- On a related note, is it even legal to memcpy more than a T's worth of data into a T? (IMO you shouldn't be doing that, but I think it's legal in C, and not with my template trick.)

- You can't take the address of a template function. What happens when you try to take &wmemcpy? Do you get a non-inlined wmemcpy with a failing branch which never knows the object size? A call to __builtin_dynamic_object_size? Or &__original_wmemcpy?

Well, "biggest" is something else than "urgent and important".

Fair enough, though. It perhaps is true that climate change is assigned undue importance in public discourse when compared with other problems that might be just as important - or even more so.

You'd be hard pressed, however, to find an issue that has as many immediate (or near-future) and potentially severe repercussions for as many people.

Evolutionary divergence certainly seems like a potentially relevant future problem, the key word here being "potentially", though. Climate change, on the other hand, is a certain reality. Assigning the same resources to both problems, even though one of them might never even materialize (or do so in a manner we can't even anticipate yet), therefore would be irrational.

That doesn't mean, however, that we can't work on solving both at the same time. At the very least, 8 billion or so people allow for massive parallelism.

"spend all the time you possibly can with your family. Make them your focus, not your income and "future". Be in the now as much as you possibly can"

Retrospect is 20/20... (I'm making the assumption you have had young kids and are speaking from experience). I have spent loads of time with my kids in the last few years (more than many of my peers have) and at times think it has been to mine and (by association) their detriment. "all the time you possibly can" is just too emphatic-an aspiration to be realistic in the messy context of real life.

Regrets on some scale are inevitable so learning to accept them is important.

Balance is all.
Yes the beginning was fantastic. Such a shame about the big budget ending.
> Oh, so all you need is somebody who can see into the future

Well yes, anticipating future developments is one of the main things a software developer does. And IMO one of the main differentiators between junior and senior developers. A library that has a history of regular maintenance is unlikely to get suddenly dropped. And a library that has a large user base will have its maintenance picked up by others if the original maintainer(s) do step down. If the library doesn't meet these criteria then you probably shouldn't be using it.}

I don't think you can realistically use Swift client-side. But Rust is an increasingly viable option (for browsers that support WASM). WASM compilation is built in to the official toolchain, and the js/ts-interop story is quite good too at this point (modulo some overhead when calling between JS and wasm).
People who talk about requirements "gathering" often fail to talk about requirements "changing" continuously. At my last job this was endemic, every VP and above wanted to be seen as contributing, so things changed on a daily basis in arbitrary ways, making development a minefield of eternal changes. Even waterfall would have been easier (where nothing is allowed to change), despite us doing "scrum" change was not tied to sprints but the hour hands of a clock. We still shipped things, but everything took forever and the end result was often a user unfriendly mess that cost way too much money and left everyone frazzled. Having requirements at the start of a project that rarely changed was a pipe dream.

I also once worked at a place where a large project had a ship date before the requirements document ship date. Of course when it was done it did not match what was written down, and also wound up not matching the (internal) customers needs either, so it had to started over.
Show HN: Website Hunt – Best websites you didn't know
Hello HN !

This is my first post, (long time 'lurker') I decided to show you my weekend project (≈20h of work).

Websitehunt.co
The best websites you didn't know.

https://www.websitehunt.co

It is basically a newsletter where you receive the most upvoted websites each week.

The websites submitted have to "stand alone", like tools. It generally cannot be a landing page for an app and such.

If you know a cool little known website, this is the place to add it ! Autopromotion is welcomed.

The submission are queued and 10 websites of the queue are released each day. I think this is good for the UX.

The concept is old and very simple. It is just a ProductHunt for websites, but I think people will be interested, ( I am and was before building it ).

Hacking sum types with Go generics
I'm sorry but this is going to sound bleak, but you cannot learn to be alone. If you are alone, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect mental health. Psychologists everywhere stress this fact very much and there is apparently plenty of evidence in their literature. The human brain is hard wired to function in a social context and there appear to be many innate pathways which are only activated by social proximity and interaction. Even social animals, which are nowhere at the level of humans, struggle when they do not find social fulfillment.

You have to find ways to get people into your life. Whether it's old ones who have lost touch, or new ones you start bonding. 32 is plenty young. You still have the bigger half of adult life to go through. In this modern age, I wager a sizable segment of society falls into your same bucket. As much as you don't enjoy company all that much, you will do well to find some and create boundaries. But living alone is an impossible option. That's a battle that won't be won imho.

It depends on why you've got a mega yacht.

If you're a state level actor, you've got state level security concerns. I doubt, for instance, the American or Russian consulate gets rented out for parties where they turn over the whole kit to some other organization.

Yes, there is "your" staff on-site to protect much of the yacht / facility, but that doesn't stop a determined actor who's got a week of somewhat unsupervised access from infesting the whole ship with bugs bombs and poisons.

With generics coming in go 1.18, we can finally make a sum type abstraction that is a bit friendlier than the previous alternatives.

Obviously having this in the language would be best, but just having a construct that can check you've handled each case is a big improvement in my mind.
SQL server is expensive, and windows, office etc can add up. Postgres works fine in from .NET.

As for Visual Studio, Professional is all you would need and it's not too expensive, I saw $45 a month mentioned, which is around $2 a working day.

In my opinion, it's actually kind of a good thing that it's not the cheapest option, because it tends to avoid the bottom feeding employers who are more likely to scam their employees.

Car dealers don't give cash discounts anymore. In fact it's often the opposite because dealers get volume incentives for financing more customers through the manufacturer's captive lender.

They built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked. But nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. The cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men.

On the roads it was a white line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice. And in this maelstrom of decay, ordinary men were battered and smashed.
