I thought the etymology for ‘guys’ was a group of children dressed like Guy Fawkes at events in England. Boys and girls did it so the term was gender neutral, informal, and endearing.
RenderingNG Deep-Dive: BlinkNG
An important question to everyone, I'm a developer with no experience in finance. I've written something which now exists as a prototype or POC so it's further along than just an idea. Recently I got an offer from someone to fund it to market by about $500,000. I think this amount of $$ makes them really an angel not a VC but I don't know.

They want to know what percentage of ownership I would give up for this level of funding. I have no idea what is fair. Could the people here tell me what they think a reasonable percentage trade of the company would be typical. Also any other advice. I will give some ground on this because if I don't get this funding it will make it very hard to get it to market. And they say 100% of nothing is nothing.

(I don't want to talk the specifics of what it does but there is nothing like it on the market and I have done the market research. The only competition around does it badly.)
> the precise nature of the claims will likely be still being litigated on ten years from now

This also sets up a situation where the AG can make exaggerated claims now, score the points, and have moved on by the time we get a resolution.
Good write-up. I am wondering what's the process of performing regular schema change (e.g. ALTER TABLE) on a 4TB instance looks like?
The only parts of the world that qualify as wealthy are Europe, North America, Australasia, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. There’s a lot more of the world than Africa that’s far from rich, if not so poor that lack of calories probably isn’t a worry. A per capita income like China or Thailand is an improvement over the natural condition but is still not good enough.
Everyone is familiar with Russian manipulation and cooperation with Donald Trump; there are arguments about its true extent, efficacy, etc.

This was the Chinese version.

If you know about back-end semiconductor processing, operating a TFT-LCD plant in America was absurd from the get-go, and no one knew it better than Foxconn.
It is the same with a lot of the machine learning stuff posted here the 2nd or 3rd comment is that how it could be achieved with normal algos etc. But slowly as more people start applying to different problems machine learning is solving many of them.
Did I miss something, but I don't see any mention about improvements in debugging capabilities. As a game developer that targets iOS/Android/UWP/WASM - WASM will be never a first target to work with, if there will be no debugger connection between IDE and Browser, that understands WASM.

The current solution that works only for Chrome and allows to use DWARF is an improvement but it has lot's of limitations: One of them is the limit of 4GiB (or 2GiB - don't remember) of DWARF file. Secondly - the entire browser tends to crash with that plugin on larger projects.
As you can see from this thread, the mere thought of investing in black people is controversial, though no one will admit it in those words.
Show HN: Solid launches auto-moderated User Tests
Do I live in a parallel universe where building SSR/SPA sites with Next.js is somehow incredibly complex? I know below the abstractions there is complexity, but building SSR rendered SPA's today with something like Next.js has never been more simple. I think web development has taken a huge leap forward where we now have stable tooling, a strongly typed language with TypeScript and top notch boilerplate free state management with MobX. To top it off you can write performant backend API's in Node.js with again TypeScript sharing contracts (Interfaces) between backend and frontend. I for one am really happy with the current state of affairs.
Yes you really do lose your wealth. Managing wealth is an active and very difficult thing. People all around the world are trying to steal your wealth and they are super motivated to do it. Everyday there is someone saying "you have to buy this next big thing - give me your money." This is how the luxury market works.

Even if you were very frugal and stuck your money in the bank you would lose that money to inflation. Even if you were smart and put it in real estate or Bitcoin or something else you still have to manage it and manage yourself to not make mistakes with it. Managing wealth is a very hard problem.

And we are actually talking about at a country level here - if a powerful country doesn't innovate and continue growing they become england. Then eventually a bigger more powerful country like china eats them if they don't have powerful friends.

Hey everyone!

Jonas, Founder of Solid User Tests here!

I published my first website in 1998 (when I was 12 years old) and learned early that you have to show your interface to real people when you want to understand how they perceive your concepts and designs.

A few years ago, still working as a Freelance UX Designer, I had to conduct 40+ moderated user tests, which was just so much work and we didn't learn much after 10 sessions. But sometimes you just want this extra level of confidence – or your stakeholders request it.

I was never happy with the solutions out there for unmoderated tests. People rush through the tests and when things get complicated, they stop thinking out loud. In a moderated setup you can remind participants to think out loud again, in an unmoderated setup you can't.

With Solid, you can now create auto-moderated studies, where Anna does the moderation for you. She helps users set up their device (sharing screen, microphone, camera) and talks to users – which feels much more natural for a tester than just reading text. Additionally, Anna reminds testers to think out loud, if they get silent.

We already ran 500+ sessions and can say with confidence that you should run all your unmoderated user tests with Solid – auto-moderated.

We are officially launching now after 6 months in beta.

What do you think about my approach? Happy to get feedback.
Rust does not keep backward compatibility like that. In the absence of any statement forcing a specific ABI, the only guaranteed compatibility is with code that's part of the same build, or else part of the current Rust runtime and being linked into said build.
And yet the "repo" (seems to be a Gist) referred to in this couternotice is still down.
I completely agree, but for things that "just need to work" I'll be using wires until there is no noticeable difference in using the two.
We had a good one like that in our previous apartment. They consist of a large cylindrical metal "heat sink" where cold air coming in goes through the bottom half, warm air going out leaves through the top half, and the entire thing rotates at ~ 5 RPM. Not any more noisy than regular kitchen ventilation. But they need to be big, ours was the size of a small dishwasher and that was adequate for a 75 square meter apartment.

Edit: if you are buying such a thing you should get someting oversized, e.g. for a 180 square meter home you should find a unit that is specified for "200 to 350 square meters", not "75 to 200".
Only reason I have Netflix (New Zealand) is that it comes included with my mobile phone plan.

I wouldn’t pay for it.

I do, however, pay for Apple TV+, Disney+, Prime Video, and would pay for HBO Max if we could get it also, but I imagine it hasn’t launched for the same reason it’s not in Australia.

So, “alternate sources” it is.

Potential answers to "What is rms's agenda?":

* spread his free software ethics philosophy to as wide an audience as possible

* persuade nonfree software developers to produce free software instead

* persuade software users to abandon use of nonfree software

* persuade software users to use free software instead of nonfree software

Think of it as a to-do list. What does rms want to happen as a result of his speaking? Education? Persuasion? Improved conditions for working software developers? Improved conditions for software end-users? What is he trying to accomplish?

The majority of the things he says seem like compulsive statements based out of his (obviously steadfast and unwavering) belief that nonfree software is unethical. The fact is, though, that inanimate things cannot be unethical. Ethics is a matter of human behavior.

So, does he want some or all of the following:

* employees of companies that make nonfree software to quit?

* owners/managers of companies that make nonfree software to dissolve their organizations?

* owners/managers of companies that make nonfree software to make only free software instead?

* owners/managers of companies that make nonfree software to set policies banning the use of nonfree software in their organizations?

* people not in software to get into software to make more free software to make the world more ethical?

* legislatures to ban companies like Google who exist only on the basis of extensive use of nonfree software?

It's not really clear what he's asking, and of whom. Who's the audience, and what does he want them to do, or cease doing? Why does he want them to do (or stop doing) that? Why should they? If the answer to the last is "because of rms's ethics", then why should they adopt his ethical framework over their current one (where there's nothing wrong with producing, selling, or using nonfree software)?

There are so many unanswered questions with rms.
I need to see those "Low productivity" numbers. I worked with ppl all around the work and I'd never seen that, what I see is companies offering lower salaries because the can in some countries, period.
Anecdata: My previous team mate was Italian, a guy in his 50, former co-founder of an small Italian ISP super productive, bast amount of knowledge and working for 55k€ so.. please cut that "you get what you deserve".
Wowee...

So I am the Badmodems.com guy. I started getting emails to the badmodems email and I came looking for this thread.

I did fight the good fight. I took out a whole division of Intel. They sold off the connected home div and the Puma. Then the Puma has now pretty much died out.

That last battle tho, with the cable co admin network. OMG. That was some crazy shit. My health is better now and putting all that crap behind me was the right thing to do for my sanity..

My fav part of the whole Intel battle was when i did a 6 hour deposistion in the class action lawsuit. Arris lawyers and Intel battering me for 6 hours. All under oath and videoed. That was SO AWESOME. It was a intense battle. I won all of it. They never pinned me down once. I can also now discuss it and Intel did internal testing and even hired a outside testing lab. They did this really early. The discovery process got emails that confirmed horrendous performance and in email they decided to keep selling it with defects they knew they could not fix.

The cable co admin network thing,, oh gawd what a mess. There was a HUGE comcast network faceplant right when I was working with a guy in europe and with Comcast. Comcast as a whole pretty much fell over in most cities. I never found out what happened. I think Comcast was trying to patch holes and borked their own network.

I am glad to hear people got something from all my efforts. I did save everyone on cableCo systems worldwide from the Puma/Intel. They literally had plans to dominate the world and take over the home while destroying the only competition, Broadcom.I did, pretty much single handed, prevent really nasty devices from polluting the world and now have sent that whole chip into a grave.
I see NASA is planning to go to Uranus, I’d really rather see then visit Europa first.
> The only exceptions here are physics and the renderer, you can't easily replace those.

While physics is in the engine itself you can definitely replace or modify the render pipeline. Unity comes with a built-in legacy pipeline but nowadays you mainly use either the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) or Unified Render Pipeline (URP) both of which are open source packages. Meaning they are modifiable. They are also both based on a common base class: Scriptable Render Pipeline, which you can extend to make your own render pipeline from scratch.

There's a great tutorial series for doing so here: https://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/custom-srp/

In my own work I generally work with URP and modify it to suit our needs.
I think you should try to frame it differently:

- without notions of pressure from either social or personal ambition.

* if you want to give something a go, do it. Just don't hang it up on what others might think, or on some grandiose image.

- would a choice still be a success if it didn't match your ideal:

* if you get a less than ideal job in the US but you appreciate the adventure and opportunity?

* how about to a different country?

- can you appreciate the value of change itself? People grow and have rich lives through experiences.

- Choices are not right or wrong, its exploration following this semi meandering path with no clear destination. You can backtrack, change, explore, revisit etc.

- The children one you will have to figure out with your partner (And on your own) along the way.

Would this work?

Edit: well i guess not.. because wget cant render javascript.. so.. maybe with a headless browser?
What I'd suggest is that it's stereotyping: It happens because how how people look, the color of their skin but also a thousand other indicators of wealth, class, gender, standing, political power, etc.

Police are bad about it because they're forced over and over again to make snap judgements-- and a moment of excessive trust can cost them their lives. They see the worst of people all the time. Without a constant effort to restore and refresh their humanity its easy to imagine it failing to cynicism, and sometimes the cynicism turning to hate.

The irony though, of course, is that the sterotyping isn't limited to people of particular skin colors though it isn't hard to make the case that people suffer worse for that cause in many places. It's something that many people have suffered from, and in that there is an opportunity for unity-- the unity of stigmatized people, rather than the division of privilege.

Each persons life is so different that if you take two people, regardless of their respective backgrounds or genetics, either one may have had a more or less privileged or more or less stigmatized life. To suggest that the specific and individual suffering of one person is lesser than those of another on the basis of their race is just sterotyping, just prejudice itself. There is no honor in a competition over who was wronged more and indulging it creates division among those who should otherwise cooperate to bring about a more fair and just world for everyone.

We should be able to stand up for the rights of each and every person to be treated fairly, without anyone confusing that for dismissing systematic abuses. And we should be able to dismantle systematic abuses without creating the impression that we don't care about people who haven't suffered those particular abuses but suffer from their own, none the less. We can do that if we ground our understanding that so many of these abuses come from the underlying practice of stereotyping-- reducing people to the color of their skin, their bank balance, their credit score, the region that the live in, etc. rather than understanding them as individual human beings.
I welcome the approach here it's much better.

I think the company has some way to go yet in terms of maturing overall as a laptop manufacturer. You can see a few of the problems on here e.g. invoices, old cpu ...etc. To me though the biggest problem is that there laptop isn't really bringing any feature that's new to the table.

The repair-ability is awesome don't get me wrong but getting a laptop repaired isn't something new it's just they've made that part easier.

Example here is the new M1 macbooks have insane battery life, excellent touchpad / gesture support, insanely thin. Asus Rog make crazy fast gaming laptops with almost desktop like performance and still in a reasonable looking form factor. Dell make really cheap (and shit) laptops with amazing availability. System76 make linux based laptops.

I could go on but I think if they want to survive as a company they need something more than "it's easy to repair".

You are welcome to use Vim, or Notepad.

Google Docs had always needed an internet connection to work, why aren't you complaining about that?

To compare a service product to a piece of paper is asinine and deluded.
That phase is now over. It's time to flood every company with malicious dmca notices that are automatically created from random snippets of publicly available content. You will see an attitude change overnight on the treatment of the dmca notices they receive. The only way to normalise a biased system is to increase the bias to the other side.
It's a bit like trying to prove something: Maybe your approach fails, but you can still gain a lot of insight by contemplating why it failed.
I figured this out several years ago when I tried to build a full-stack framework to seamlessly connect the front end and back end into a single development experience (kind of like what Meteor and Next.js turned out to be). I ended up cancelling that project, pulled out the RPC + pub/sub internals and spun it off into a separate set of libraries which became successful on their own.

I've been saying this for years. Although code reuse is possible between server and browser and sometimes it saves a lot of time, it's not common enough to be a default (as part of a monolithic framework) and there are security implications which make it highly desirable to differentiate between the two.

I do think frameworks are overused. IMO, frameworks make more sense in DevOps for infrastructure orchestration to provide resilience and scalability. For example, I think Kubernetes makes sense as a framework - Critiques of its complexity are not related to its frameworkness; there is literally no other way to do orchestration - Orchestration is the top layer which runs everything and sits above everything (including hosts and processes). Frameworks don't make much sense in development space IMO; they're mostly a way for companies to achieve lock-in.

Even on the front end, Google Polymer had already proved through their WebComponents polyfills that frameworks were not necessary to achieve reactivity on the front end. A simple, lightweight library is usually enough.

If I’m reading correctly, the temperature would average around 4°C, below a colder “stratosphere” directly under the ice.
The OP didn’t ask how to measure employee performance or set expectations and goals. They asked how to identify employees who had multiple jobs.

> First of all, I'd like to figure out how we can identify someone working more than we are aware of. Generally it would be fine for me (/us) what people do in their non-work time, but if it affects our work, then it's not acceptable. So how can we identify such a situation?

The question indicates the OP doesn’t have a way to measure performance, and instead focuses on identifying employees who might have other jobs.

> I've never made this argument or seen anyone else in the thread make this argument.

I must have misunderstood what you meant by this:

> We aren't talking about people holding mulitple low-paying jobs to make ends meet. It's mostly people in well payed positions taking advantage of being remote.

One could read “taking advantage of being remote” more than one way, but in the context I read it as people already paid well taking advantage of their employer.
Malicious for sure. Ahhh the good old times where the App Store actually was checking your apps, and rejecting when it crashed or when they didn't agree about some UI decisions
First this and soon you will be "Fined 1 Credit For A Violation Of The Verbal Morality Statute". Who would have thought that demolition was such a visionary movie.
Weird that they skipped an incredibly obvious option #5: make it easier for first-world people to form families and afford kids.
Do you have a PhD? If you do, it's going to help a lot with the transition.

Skills for someone like you to work on - Python, the Python data ecosystem, machine learning, deep learning, being a good software developer.

Things not to worry about right now - Kubernetes, DevOps, cloud providers.

You don't need JavaScript. Don't learn any Tableau/PowerBI and don't apply for jobs that require them unless you want a more analytics/business intelligence focused role. Or do learn them if you want to go in that direction but those jobs are quite different even if they have the same job
title.

(If a job description asks for TensorFlow/PyTorch and PowerBI/Tableau, it means that they have no idea what they're looking for whatsoever.)

Maybe I should have started there - figure out if you want a more analytics/product/decision-making kind of role or more of an applied ML kind of role and then focus on that skillset. For the applied ML kind of data science job, you need the skills that I listed, for the other kind you need the stats background that you already have, some SQL, much less coding and a couple of BI tools.
As someone that just cancelled their subscription for me it was cost and to cut down the number of streaming services I have. Netflix didn't stand up well next to the others for cost and quantity of must watch content.
This is what happens when Google becomes the gateway to the internet
Disagree. Selling devices that you don't own and you cannot control (ie disalbe WiFi chip so tracking is not possible) should be the illegal part.
QEMU releases are calendar-based, every four months, so "7.0" just means "first release of 2022", not "we got lots of new and shiny stuff so we bumped the major version" :-) More generally, what goes on in QEMU these days is mostly continued progression of existing work rather than sudden new developments: it's an established project making incremental improvements and following along with updates to hardware and other standards.
Ok great that's already way better then most ;) if you're interested in a LCA let me know
