No, you are not the only one. Fellow macOS Steam user here. Whenever a game I'm interested in comes out, I first go to the AppStore to see if it's available there, then to the developer's web site, and only as a last resort to Steam. The UX is some of the worst I have to use in a given week. It constantly shows me games that don't run on any system I've ever used (Windows exclusives, but I've never used a Windows machine since I signed up for Steam, for example). It's just awful all around.
Google has flown completely off the rails. I don't know why shareholders aren't stepping in, but if they don't I will be stepping away from google.
On bad quarter for subscription losses-- driven by dropping out of the Russian marked-- (they'd be up 500k subscribers if not for that) and people are jumping on the "Netflix is doomed" bandwagon.

That seems very premature to me. Subscription growth has slowed and they may still lose some more, but saying the bottom is dropping out is hyperbole at best & clickbait at worst. (though why not both?). They're facing more competition, and coming out of COVID lockdowns probably means people aren't home as much to binge watch shows. Not enough to doom them unless they start hitting a bunch of own goals.
I am happily content to do so.

When it comes to more senior roles, it may not only be ageism, but naturally there are much less open positions and many more people down the pyramid fighting for them
I don't understand how anything of what you wrote (which, BTW, I agree with) contradicts my point.
> Most P2P systems are completely different because nodes can use any relay and relaying is separate from identity.

A planet has just one Star that sponsors them in Urbit, but as a planet, you can choose to leave your Star and move to a different Star.

So you can also choose a different relay in Urbit. And yes, your Planet address is spawned by a Star, but you do fully own your address. It is separate in the sense that you can move it elsewhere.

If Netflix would add 4K DVDs to their DVD service I’d drop streaming NF for it in a second..
This makes sense to me. Why is it downvoted?
I haven’t read it, but heard good things about “The Soul of a New Machine” about Data Generals efforts create a new 32-bit superminicomputer.

https://www.tracykidder.com/the-soul-of-a-new-machine.html

Another comment mentioned “Pirates of Silicon Valley” as a good dramatization of MS/Apple and there’s also the miniseries “Valley of the Boom” about the rise and fall of Netscape and “Halt and Catch Fire” which is a fictional and thematic view of 80s/90s computer history.
gaffe: A foolish and embarrassing error, especially one made in public.

GAAF is certainly better than the reverse, but it lacks the bite of FAANG.
The assumption in the "weeded out" rhetoric is that girls are on their way into tech in equal numbers and diverted out by some experience or more nefarious dissuasion. This has not been sufficiently demonstrated and usually is presented without evidence.

It's unclear what people make of the fact that certain STEM disciplines, say Biology or other Life Sciences, have an over-representation of women. Curious why the "weeding" only occurs in certain STEM disciplines.
Ah, the culture war version of the famous Douglas Adams quote about technology:

"1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things."
I assume that if people want to enjoy a service without paying for it, it's theft.

It's the "I don't want to pay for it, but I still want to watch it." that seems to be hang up for so many.

Let me explain it simply. That is stealing and it directly affects my ability to make a living as well the motivation for service providers to make more products you enjoy.
The linked post suggests that AI art started in 2015 (what it labels as "early forms of AI art"). AI art goes back decades--it didn't start with Google. Perhaps the author might want to look a bit further back than seven years.
> Very sorry for all the white men on here who are unjustly discriminated.

You did, in a way, assume that everybody here who’s upset is a white man. If you were truly unbiased you would have said “people” in place of “white men”

Are you talking about the humans inside or outside the car?
Yes, definitely in the minority.
I'm still kind of surprised Microsoft never tried to buy them. Maybe they'd get a wack by the FTC (since they'd own one of the most used Linux server OSes and the biggest non-Linux server OS) but it seems like it would of been a natural fit alongside GitHub (not to mention Ubuntu just about ships with Windows these days given "wsl --install" automatically installs it on a stock install).
I also don’t remember not being able to upvote, just being unable to downvote until a certain karma score was reached.
The Florida bill never even mentions the word "gay". As for what the bill actually says:

> Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

That's not cancelling gay people at large. That's preventing the schools from talking to third-graders or younger (8 years old or younger) about these things and letting their parents do it if they choose.

You might disagree with the bill, but Disney is taking a political stance, and does not deserve to have special political privileges if they take any form of political stance, regardless on what the political stance is.

The vast majority are dumb things with ladders on scaffolds, or riding a forklift or a bucket, but most are pretty bad.

Perhaps the saddest part is the folks in the comments that talk like OSHA is some group you have to dodge “to get real work done”. I guess they just want to get maimed or killed to show fealty to their employer.

These are some highlight:

Sheesh, I can't believe the percent of negative comments! Someone finally figured a way to reduce PFAS. It's a hugely positive finding, especially in light of people being able to keep their red blood cells. Hopefully it can be ruled as a safe long-term solution for now. Looking forward to reading updates on this research.

And btw, donating plasma doesn't mean other people will get your PFAS; many things can be done with plasma besides injecting into other people.
I don't disagrees with the conclusion, but these studies only prove it in their respective countries.
> Of course everyone here pretends to be the 10x, hyper motivated individual contributor, because the world's a stage and HN is part of it.

Ha. I know what you're saying. Not me though. I'm just a 1x. Motivated and interested for sure, at least for my part.

I think this might be an agree to disagree thing. I think most people genuinely want to just do something interesting and enjoyable, and make money so they can live fulfilling lives. There are a lot of disconnects though, ranging from flat out opportunity, to lack of available training - i.e. something like a bootcamp - full-time pipeline, bad corporate incentives and structure, and lack of investment in best practices and communication tools. I mean take Microsoft Teams. Absolute dog shit product (sorry guys) - stop using it and use something better. It'll make your employees lives easier and better, and you won't need people to be in the office in the same way because you're using better tools.

Ultimately if a company has to "settle" for an employee who they have to monitor and watch from behind their chair, in my view it's still the hiring company's failure. It says nothing about remote/hybrid/on-prem. If they have to "settle" then that's still their fault, and bringing people to the office doesn't change that fundamental fact.
The pink-collar fields were horribly segregated (hence this name). Tech, for better or worse, eliminated most of them. Aside from, say, elementary education folks.

> The bad thing is that the 7 year old will get bored...

This. There’s enough adult content in these films that even my 12-year-old nephew gets bored.

> The PG-13 movies are optimized for an older audience, and that leaves children with fewer, lower quality options for entertainment.

I think there’s still plenty decent kid-focused content, you might just need to go back some years for the more wholesome non-big budget stuff.
Women's representation in tech matches the graduation rates of relevant fields. Which matches the rates at which women indicate tech as their preferred field in high school and middle school.

I think it's in incorrect to say that they're "weeded out". That implies that women are being removed from the field, rather than exercising their own agency and choosing different fields.
The CLIP stuff has its downside. Much of what I see looks like a collage of real images. Not so much art as graphic design.

Work remotely and anonymously. Let the quality of your work shine through so that age becomes irrelevant.

There aren't many such roles, but with remote work gaining popularity, they're becoming more of an option.
There's a long-running strain of arguments that Urbit isn't intentionally obfuscated; people involved in the project have been apologizing for its official descriptions since its inception. Ron Garrett isn't a "mob with a bone to pick" and he's been doing yeoman's work for years on HN debunking Urbit and pushing back on those apologies. To my eyes, he's got by far the better argument:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

An especially admirable thing about the way Garrett has approached this mess is that he's managed, as far as I can tell, to reliably avoid taking the bait on the drama about the project's founder; he's just a Smug Lisp Weenie, in the best possible sense of the term, critiquing a language and computing platform.

A couple of reasons. One is that your paperwork guarantees you'll pay attention to their "throttle this down to sub-480p" request, which let them have their customers (who opted into it from t-mobile) not have to worry about how that apps streaming was free. That is, T-Mobile customers who turned that feature on could be presented whitelisted apps without needing to configure them. Two is that "free video streaming" sounds better when selling a service to their customers than "free Xmbps connections". Three is it allows a lot more freedom to T-mobile. They know they need to average X mbps so the stream doesn't jitter, but they can totally take advantage of an uncongested five minutes to let you download quickly to build your cache.
> The issue with Disney is their attempt to become a source of propaganda for social policies aimed towards people's kids, and their choice to be vocal about wanting to influence laws being passed the government in Florida. Their choice, but they also reap the consequences.

What is wrong with this? Plenty of private corporations lobby the government.
> Why do we need another communications protocol?

Because we need reliable devices, so wired protocols... We have ModBus and MQTT witch works enough BUT we also have very few devices able to talk them. We have almost nothing well done "intelligence side" so to really create a smart home, the sole FLOSS alive is Home Assistant witch work but it's far from deserve a good award and most IoT stuff are just classic stuff with some bolted pre-made-by-third-parties "smartness" that in the end result in too limited flexibility to be of real use.
> as the laws of thermodynamics simply do not permit for endless consumption of scarce physical resources

1) Ever-increasing consumption is not a prerequisite for capitalism, but rather a beneficial consequence of the increasingly efficient use of available resources which capitalism enables.

2) Economic growth is about increasing value, not physical materials. Value is a human concept, not a physical one, and can increase indefinitely unhampered by the laws of thermodynamics.

3) Copyright is anti-capitalist. It's a subsidy granted to one group at the expense of another in the form of a monopoly (or rather, many small monopolies) enforced through threat of violence. As a means of directing production toward "social" goals (encouraging the creation of "creative" works) instead of those chosen by the market it has its roots in socialism. Far from enabling further growth, it causes less efficient allocation of resources and in doing so impoverishes society.
Yes, really. A story about Christian values is going to come off as political to Hindu or Muslim viewers.

> this comes off an not genuine

I get the feeling you'd say this even about authentically written content, so it's a moot point. You've drawn a line in the sand that characters and content that don't look like you are bad, and that it's origins must be from seedy beginnings rather than decades of hard work by dismissed groups of people that are now finally getting a chance to write stories about people like them.
Why? Are you that sensitive?
"Fighting FOR Mariupol" is more accurately stated as "wantonly destroying the homes and infrastructure of a thriving Ukrainian city, whilst murdering and raping civilians, and stealing their property".
Yes, everything the author describes started in earnest with 80s comics.

The trouble is that after Moore completely deconstructed super hero comics with Watchmen (and Miracle Man, and Miller with Dark Knight, etc.), a new generation thought that's how comics were supposed to be.

But Moore demonstrated that if you extrapolate how super humans would operate in "the real world", it would quickly devolve into a nightmare no one would want to live in.

So "dark" "gritty" "realistic" comics post-Watchmen are really kind of pointless. Watchmen did it better than any of the current authors, and reading them just leads to getting depressed about the depravity of our fantasy worlds, on top of all the things to be depressed about the real one. It's simultaneously indulgent and self defeating.
DEI industry relies on that narrative to support itself.
Then you are a thief who steals products that you don't enjoy.
Gotta have a little more fun. First, I would leave and go get a drink while contemplating how the fuck I ended up in an org like this. Then I would spend the next two weeks browsing job boards, trolling the company chat, taking long lunches, then hit on that one cute girl and also the kinda fatter one that you think is probably dtf as a backup.
Counterpoint to the European thing:

I recently worked for an all-remote team where almost everyone is Europe based, and there was no humour at all in their meetings, and very little personal anecdata of any kind. It was very dry and professional, week in week out. I once cracked a light joke (nothing that anyone could find offensive) and it fell very flat. Doing so was obviously out of place. Never made that mistake again.

Not just missing humour, but I couldn't discern any way that people formed work-social connections outside of those meetings, even though most of our interactions were over Discord. It was all about the work, and that was minimal as well. Even on Discord it was interesting to see much of the time, people talked past each other, not appearing to understand each other's point, or just saying what they'd worked on with no replies. Even DMs tended to be dry and would end when the question at hand was answered. My attempts to be friendly and curious led nowhere, metaphorically like the flatness of talking in an anechoic chamber.

I found it quite depressing and difficult, not because I especially needed work friends, but because I couldn't find a way to get to the "informal real talk mode" about work either. It was difficult to forge the kinds of informal links that make work easier and more effective, and I think everyone's work quality suffered for it because everyone was kind of working on little atomised areas. I saw very little evidence that anyone cared about anyone else's wellbeing either.
Though it doesn't cover all of computing history, this site is a comprehensive timeline of personal computing history from 1947 to now.

https://kpolsson.com/comphist/

Apparently the author has been maintaining that timeline since 1995 and is still doing it!

While it doesn't cover things like computer science, I think it's an excellent jumping off point for learning about notable people and events.

Not exactly what you asked for, but you may also be interested and may give you some insight I think more programmers should have.

EDIT: Also, don't stop at Babbage & Lovelace. Although Babbage's analytical engine was one of the first, if not the first programmable computers with a form of memory, there were people working on extremely primitive computers (or rather advanced calculators) way before Babbage. Schickard, Pascal, and Leibniz conceived of and developed calculating engines that did basic math with support for interim value storage, which one might consider to be the earliest form of computer memory.
POSIX-1.2017, man7, where Ubuntu man pages are online and other distro manual pages, macOS man page differences, understanding shell built-ins vs commands, etc.

Yeah. I don’t think I have ever once seen a blog article point to primary sources. MDN, for example for web developers, not a primary source.

Sometimes I wonder if people ever ask themselves how people answering questions on Stack Overflow or people writing Medium articles found out what they’re teaching to others.

People are too afraid of reading documentation.
This OC isn't grinding an axe.

I may be wrong, but it seems this paper's contribution is using analytical techniques (whatever "correspondence testing" is), with the customary roles reversed, to better calibrate those techniques. If so, I think that's genius.

So many times I've found myself facing a (ethical) problem with nothing more than noob wild-ass-guesses on how to solve it. Perhaps better understanding hiring discrimination in all contexts will help divine context-free rules. Neutral strategies we can all agree to use. That'd be awesome.

Because right now the only notion I have for tackling bias is using lotteries (eg sortition). And that's a hard sell even for me.
It's not clear to me what's going on here. I used to stream to twitch and it was pretty easy to just hand the URL+key to ffmpeg.
Hard lesson learned from years of trying to "educate" people on things that matter to me: you're going about it all wrong. I've seen your posts all through this thread. All you've done is beat people over the head with your perspective and berate them for not agreeing with you.

I don't think this is what you mean to do. I think you really care about this! Lay down your sword and listen. Hear what people are saying in response. Let their responses inform and refine your advocacy. You can't stroll in broadcasting an ideological, self-interested position and expect people to react well.
"In the capital, Delhi, bulldozers have demolished the homes of Muslims accused of rioting."

Illegal housing was demolished without taking any religion into consideration.
There are two moral views that intersect here in this poster's views (which they are communicating subversively through sarcasm):

1. "It's perfectly okay to discriminate against people based on things they can't control"

2. Generational justice: "Current individuals of identity groups that were advantaged or had members do bad things in the past, totally deserve to be disadvantaged or have bad things done to them now"

I do not agree with those.
I am going to say this is an artifact of people not self-learning things on their own before the school or from a job.

I find in my earlier teenage years that internet was great source of knowledge. I read lots of blogs/articles etc from people 3x-4x my age. It made me appreciate them, not disrespect them. And for the most part, when you are on the internet, you really don't know what otherside even looks like for the most part - you only know in retrospect...

What about giving master a new meaning? Actively banning it conservers its original meaning. Probably nobody today thinks about woman sitting in a room doing calculations when we speak about computers.
Thank you, very interesting. I'd always taken gender neutral to include non-heteronormative genders. But I started seeing things like folx - confusing because I hadn't understood the word to be gendered or only gender normative.
