I tried this as an alternative to teamviewer not long ago to help my dad with something. He runs a little bit of an older macOS version because reasons (I'm a bit wary upgrading it because another newer macbook my mum owns basically said the device is unsupported when I upgraded to the latest version).

Rustdesk refused to install because the macOS version was too old. Until Rustdesk runs on many OSes, especially older OS versions, it will be hard to use.

Mind you, it's not entirely clear what OS versions are supported from the website, so I went through a
lot of trouble to get my dad to try and install it, only to then be disappointed.

I have hope though! It looks great so far.

I don't agree here. What is "simple clear code"? Space Invaders is no benchmark for me. I myself do demo coding on Amiga 68000 and debugging consumes a lot of time with the infamous Gurus. Compare this to a breakpoint in your code on modern machines. Rebooting takes time etc. Workflow is also tough. Corrupt diskettes - and there goes your source code.

Also on a machine code level you have to deal with everything yourself. How to represent floating point math? Fast division? Large datasets? Clipping to deal with 3d vertices?

Blitter settings sometimes feel like magic not science.

Small projects are indeed fun, however larger one in my opinion not really.
Or better yet: Let your kids play whatever they want to play. There is no wrong game or inferior game.

Introduce them to many games, sure, but then back off. Once you start directing their play or supervising their play, you do more harm than good.
"Self-belief alone is not sufficient—you also have to be able to convince other people of what you believe."

This is the true test of self belief. In the corporate world this is why many ideas don't take off or take off in a half baked manner. Just like self belief is visible, the absence of it is also visible. I can quite figure out when someone is proposing an idea or wants to make something work but they themselves don't believe in it. The corporate world is littered with such people and leaders as well.

My boss put it very well 'The moment you think what's in it for me, you've lost the plot". This question does not arise in anyone who has this utmost self belief in what they do.
Thanks for the reference. For me it was not Stargate but a recent popular Sci-fi book.
Playing with money affects your strategy, because once you are out of money you are out of the game. Even if you play for pennies, you still need to think about how much can you put at stake in every single game in order to maximize profits. If you have 20c and your opponent has 70c then it will take you at least few games to come up ahead. Just counting number of times you won a hand removes a lot of complexity.

Tangentially, I wasn't aware of Turkey as an exporter of TV until I recently traveled in Cambodia and everyone I spoke to went on about the Turkish dramas they were watching. Thanks for the recommendation! this sounds like a good starting point for me to get into Turkish shows.
I've always been interested in buying one, but since I'm curre tly budgeting for other major investments I'm not willing to spend like 350€+ for an ergodox. Are there decent sub 100€ non diy (i have never soldered anything in my life) split keyboards around afayk?
They should encode the original word length and use a decoder that can take word length as an API.
Then the result would be much much better and have real world uses

Zig should be able to do it (the Zig toolchain can also be used to build regular C/C++/ObjC projects, not just Zig). But I think there's still work to be done to be able to build complete applications which could be uploaded to the Store. You also need a separate iOS SDK because this isn't bundled with Zig:

https://github.com/kubkon/zig-ios-example

For debugging you'd still need a Mac and iOS device though, so for the regular development workflow using a Mac still makes sense. But for CI builds being able to build on Linux is pretty big deal.

The Youtube algo seems to have decided that it is time to promote this again. I just got a Youtube recommendation for the rollercoaster animation today. Before submitting it to HN I found that it was submitted yesterday already.
IMHO it would be a vulnerability if you can "defeat" TLS with non-root user (scale priv attack). AFAIK you must be root to run tracing BPF.

As you say, quarkslab's tool (Peetch) can be a user-friendly alternative to Wireshark and SSL logs workaround.
Ask HN: Why do some people think that VPNs are anonymous?

Maybe you could have elaborated a bit more on what you actually want to know. If you want people to react on something you say, you might as well put a little more effort in it.

The moment you have to work on a large code base either in Java or C++ you almost never have enough resources. 64GB RAM is fair, 32GB bare minimum to work on such codebases. Otherwise everything slows down, IntelliJ will take 2 seconds to open up etc.

If you don't work on such code bases then yes 16GB is more than enough and 8GB you can live with on your day to day life.
No kidding. I want my laptops light and slim.

My personal laptop is a slick Lenovo with a Ryzen 5800H, 16:10 screen and only 16 GB ram. I prefer it much better than my work provided "mobile workstation" that is hot, heavy and loud piece of shit with tons of ram, useless Xeon and a quadro. I know there are people who need this shit but this setup is the norm that barely anyone around here needs
Just one more reason to consider and then immediately decide never to visit Jersey City again.
Not exactly super-new tech. Another company was doing this back in, oh, 2015 or so. I know because I did some work on a "data lake" project specifically for data gathered from the "send a signal pills". The overall system used a sensor attached to a band that was worn around the abdomen, which paired with a smartphone via Bluetooth, and then sent the data upstream via IP. There was some more in-between processing, and in the end the data wound up in a Hadoop system (this is the part I worked on).

IIRC, in addition to the actual pill signal, the band also gathered data like heart-rate, body temp, angle of inclination, etc. All of this was wrapped up in some messaging about "personalized medicine", etc, yadda yadda. In reality it was, as I understood it, mostly an exercise in attempting to do something called "patent extension"[1]. Since this new delivery mechanism, and associated technology, would all require FDA approval, it somehow triggered a process that let the drug manufacturer maintain their exclusivity over a drug that was about to go off-patent. Or something like that. I was a software guy, not a lawyer, but that's the way it was explained to me.

Anyway, my time on the project came to an end, and I didn't really keep up with what came of it afterwards. FWIW, the company I was working for was not Pfizer, and I'm not sure how the came to get involved in this space.

Edit: I originally wasn't going to name names, since I was probably NDA'd to hell on that project, but I see somebody in the Twitter thread did call out the project I worked on. It was Abilify[2]. And it looks like the whole thing did eventually get approved. I wonder if anybody is actually using that version?

Star Realms is a simple game with everything needed included and is quick to pick up.

Dominion has more depth and variety.

Epic Card Game comes close to the complexity of Magic. The issue is most people willing to learn such a game will already be playing Magic or Pokemon...

There's more popular/newer alternatives, I haven't been following the scene.
No, that's not true, LC style problems are not bullshit. There's no rote-memorization required. Just basics of a language that you know and the very basic constructs.

95% of programming is data structures and algorithms because that's where all the performance gains are usually made. The other 5% is knowledge of the hardware and micro-optimisations like avoiding branch mispredicts and understanding the compiler.

Hashing in databases is very similar to how hash-tables work as is sharding.
Not assuming either point of view here, but just because you cannot run an experiment, doesn't mean that the result of the experiment will be negative. So you don't know if GP is incorrect or not.

Reading that article, I can’t help but feel like this person had little to no experience in a real relationship.

The best marriages I know of are nothing like the ideals they set out in part 2. There are plenty of books and podcasts exploring long lasting relationships. The qualities listed in part 2 miss the mark.
Yes, but it has a configurable delay to engage, so accidentially hitting the power key instead of DEL will not turn off your computer unless you changed the config and then it's really your own fault.
This is not true in the slightest.

Poker is far, far more mathematical than chess. The idea that poker pros are only going off "reads" is completely ludicrous.

They have a set game-theory-optimal style of playing, and then use an opponents flaws/"tells" to deviate from the GTO style to exploit those tells.

An example of a flaw could be if the opponent is playing shitty hole cards.

If the opponent has played in every pot over the last 30 minutes (something you'll frequently see), then he's playing way too many hands preflop.

This is exploitable.

Just a super basic example, but you'd be surprised at how profitable this is. Beginners play way too many hands. If you want to make money, just fold every hand and let the beginner collect the blinds until you get AAs, KKs, QQs, etc. and then you should bet big. The beginner won't notice and he'll pay you off anyway. You'll be massively +EV.

A more advanced player will notice what you're doing and he'll immediately fold when you bet big. Therefore, you'll have to start incorporating "bluffs" into your strategy so his tactic of folding whenever you bet big becomes unprofitable.

Poker is about figuring out all of these things and then using these tools to make the most money.

Bill Chen wrote a great book called "The Mathematics of Poker" that goes through all the math involved.

It's all probability theory and game theory.

He gave a talk at MIT that goes over some of the basic concepts -> https://youtu.be/BuxCNZ0RVKA

The obvious issue with teaching your kids poker is that it'll be very difficult for your kid to find anyone else to play with. He/she can't go play poker in a casino obviously
You're not wrong. But I don't think I claimed anywhere that IQ is a measure of general intelligence. Neither does it mean that people with higher IQ will necessarily be more successful. But being at the extreme ends of IQ spectrum can be a huge barrier to communication between two individuals.

I agree with the sentiment, but tbh a lot of people suffer alone on this planet and designing societal structures to serve absolutely everyone's emotional needs would be impossible. An AI would be perfect for all the misfits, elderly, loners, disabled, "ugly," outcasts, etc, right?
In the “woke” world of computation this sentence is false.
And the previous sentence is true.

The liar’s paradox, decidability and undecidability (being core ideas in computer science) directly imply that it is scientifically undecidable what a man; or a woman is.

Those are (in fact) questions for the liberal arts department and broader society, and the answers are usually settled by social convention and democratic discourse.

A computer scientist will likely understand why the above is true. The rest might be tempted to downvote this assault on their intuitions.

Update: 3 people who don’t understand computer science disapprove of this comment (this is a running score)

The problem with these articles is that they tell you the 'what' but not the how. I would argue everyone knows the 'what' but the 'how' is not really possible explain, otherwise everyone would be an Elon Musk. So it's implicit. So cool story, but i don't think it will help anyone

I wish someone would make a laptop that had ECC RAM along with this.

Last I looked there were only some ultra high end Xeon laptops with ECC. :(
If anyone here also has a keyboard of this size, I would be interested to know how you access the tilde key.

I’ve bound mine to Fn-Esc but it feels unsatisfactory as a solution.
I am a big fan of the Kinesis Advantage 2's dished layout. I think that's a bigger deal for me than being split. The 2 unfortunately is not split, while the 360 is both split and dished.

The thumb keys are also extremely important, but they're more common among ergo keyboards. I don't think I'd ever buy a keyboard without thumb keys.
Thumb keys go great with emac's standard keybindings.

I've spent too much money on keyboards already, but will very likely buy the 360.

There are some DIY keyboards like the dactyl-manuform that also look great. Could be a fun project, but I'm not really looking for more side projects at the moment.
>> The author here seems to be someone still interested in the sort of narrative game evangelized by Wizards Of The Coast and popular D&D media like Critical role, which XP for gold would be a bit of an odd match for.

Can you say a bit more about this? WotC are pushing a narrativist agenda? I'm surprised.

To be fair, I haven't really kept up with D&D editions after 3.5 (I played one session of 4th ed. but I haven't even looked at 5th ed.). So it's a bit of a surprise that it's WotC and D&D that are now the champions of narrative-based roleplaying. There was a time -as recently as ca. 2011-2012- that narrative-based roleplaying was the agenda of Indie PRGs and D&D was even considered the antithesis of that style of play. I appreciate it's more complicated than that, but I'd welcome your perspective, since you seem to be more familiar with modern trends.
I still remember upgrading my first PC from 1 meg of RAM to 4 meg. I thought I was a god, and couldn't imagine what I'd ever do with "all of this memory". Times change...
I would suggest contract bridge or whist/preferans too. In my school years we played preferans a lot and bridge was the favorite game of our math teacher, so we could solve one or two bridge problems as a warming up on our math lessons.
What kind of pre-screening would you combine with the on site programming challenge? To me this seems like much more of a time commitment and much more biased against certain types of candidates than a similarly scoped take home test.

I've done a number of on site interviews in my career and they were typically not in my home city or even home country. They often involved flights and hotels plus time off work beyond the interview day for travel time. As a single guy at the time a small number of these was manageable but it seems like much more of an obstacle than a take home test for anyone with family or childcare commitments.

You mentioned in your first article having interviewed with 30 companies over 4 months. That would obviously be impossible for anyone currently employed if they all involved a full day on site. Most full day on site leet code style interviews involve some pre screening so that only promising candidates go through the full on site.

Would you pre screen with an online leet code style problem?

It looks like these articles were written pre covid? How would you adapt the process to a more remote friendly world? Is there a variation of this that could be done remotely that wouldn't look a lot like a take home test with a tighter deadline?
It's called the W dimension.
>they are more concerned with aesthetics,

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

Mechanical keyboard communities are 110% all about aesthetics. For most it is far more important how the keyboard looks than anything else, the comes how it feels and sounds and somewhere very far comes actual functionality and even further ergonomics.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with this, but it makes sourcing split mechanical keyboards hard and expensive.
Usually, with POW, the issuance is the same. So they will mint the same amount, no way that will crash the price. What _will_ make the mining not profitable is the difficulty increase. It boggles my mind people don't seem to get this.
As a collolary, RAM that's not being used by programs still gets used by the OS as a filesystem cache, so it still contributes towards the system feeling snappier.

With employment, you're negotiating the means to buy anything.
Don't think my dentist or barber want to be paid in GameStop gift cards and I feel giving some company with an intentionally obfuscated corporate structure non-refundable tokens in the hope they'll purchase a voucher which according to them may or may not pass Amazon's fraud detection Algo the same as "purchasing a gift card".

Ignoring that, it's still about the farthest thing from a "circular economy" imaginable...

I can't really imagine any motivation for buying milk in this fashion unless I'm seriously into tax evasion. So good luck buying day to day shit with gift cards once you've had to move to El Salvador to evade the IRS... Which is incidentally one of the jurisdictions bitrefill.com is incorporated in.

If you're not, why not die now? If you get an infection that would kill you without medical attention, why not just let it kill you?
That’s very funny and true but it makes sense. You want your offspring hopefully to be more attractive than you are, in addition to other beneficial hereditary traits. And its a competitive play, since each successive generation seems to be more attractive generally, with the losers of each round childless. So you’re leveraging your other qualities to the maximum without going too far and ending up with nothing. Its a gamble
I think that a Sterling engine would be more efficient.
If your main concern about DIY keyboards is experience, most DIY split keyboards only require through-hole soldering, which is easily doable even with a cheap soldering iron.

The Sofle keyboard is a popular split keyboard. https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard I haven't checked, but I'd believe it's possible close to that budget. e.g. Keyhive have a DIY kit https://keyhive.xyz/shop/sofle
