I've been interested in info sec since the 1988 Morris Worm. It's always paid better to be a Unix (and later. Linux) developer.

I think the decade-long skill shortage is a front for corporations not wanting to spend money on another type of employee. C-levels can understand spending money on themselves and their offspring, lawyers, janitors and faceless "workers". They don't understand a new type of worker, one that points out things that cost money to fix or implement, who, moreover, is not a lawyer or typically a relative.

You could also try CAST AI - savings report is free so you don't need to sign any contract to see how much you could save. For some users ie we've saved 90% - $124k/mo cloud cost. Feel free to play around https://cast.ai/
2x Thanks!

I'm using C++, SFML (graphics framework), and SQLite (for data storage/saves). Game & engine is developed from the ground up.

A lot of people choose existing engines for their games. I definitely would if I were to go 3D.

With 2D grid based games, it's not too difficult to get an engine up and running. It took me around 6 weeks IIRC (no physics or networking code though) to have basic tile placement functionality and outputting the game world to the screen.
Came here to say M.U.L.E. I always regretted not having a chance to ever play a four-human match. Seems like all the MULE reboots are/were stillborn. I thought the gui for the auction process was quite clever.

What would you have them do? Not accept those donations, and be unable to work on as wide a range of issues that they do?

EFF works on a wide range of issues, ranging from anti-censorship, software patent reform, online free speech, just to name a few. Many of those areas are where their values align with those of the Facebook/Google executives which donate to them. That they are able to receive those donations in spite of the areas where they disagree speaks more to EFF's track record of being an effective and powerful force for good in tech.
Yeah there’s a lot of examples now a days unfortunately.

I work in the security/user trust space and it was amazing how it went from 1-2 scams like this and me going “huh that’s new and weirdly effective” to copycats springing up so often now that they seem to be a modus operandi for a lot of scam groups now.

Unfortunately they’re getting more sophisticated and usually coordinating with a large social media push (usually on Twitter via bots) and using hacked verified Twitter account and hacked YouTube channels with lots of followers to signal boost their scam.

Putting myself in Google’s shoes this is a hard game of cat & mouse, but they are also uniquely in the position to do something about it, and I’m positive their massive org can fight this better than they are today. Devils advocate being that they are making tweaks to things to stomp out this behavior and it’s just subtle enough that overall things are trending downwards and I just have selection bias since I’m looking for these scams.
Unfortunately this seems to be well beyond what the human lungs can do. I found this paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1501025/ suggesting that the most human lungs can do is about 1 meter of H20, or about a 0.1 bar. So it seems supersonic whistling isn't possible. Oh well.
I wouldn't be so sure. Ionic has a commercial product, AppFlow, which is their "update over http" solution. It allows for running arbitrary code without app approval, and they claim it is compliant. AirBNB and I'm sure plenty of other companies use "server driven UI" which is similar to this. Almost every app will also use feature flags in some way. Or could even just check if the account is "appreview@apple.com" and show different content, theres not a good way to prevent it.
I have to say, you described my mother perfectly. I was the last of five to go to college. I came home for Thanksgiving my freshman year and she said; "I am glad you were not like the others, calling me and writing me all the time. I raised you kids to go off in the world like I did."
A Sim Earth remake.

I want a sandbox where I can take a planet from its bombardment era all the way to a point where its start has started to encroach on the planet's orbit. I want to see live evolve from the soupy amino acid mixes that were brewed from shallow waters and watch it grow to a multitude of competing civilizations. I want my screen to feel alive in a "ants crawling over a petri dish" sort of way.

I want to do this with a very deep simulation, everything from geophysics, climate, and even solar insolation modeled. I want to see ice ages come and go with glaciers carving up the landscape and leaving behind lakes and fertile soil. I want to see oceans acidify and recover, cycling through colors. I want my screen to feel lush like a moss carpet.

I want my sandbox planet to have a moon.

I want to have a time scale that requires planning, where a few months of game play on the same planet feels rewarding. I want this planet to be persistent and to be shared where friends can just load up and watch or maybe even hop in. I want my friends space faring civilizations to come and visit.

I don't want a manual for anything more than interface. I want to be surprised by what happens on digital ball of dirt.

I want something that will have the fun spirit of Sim Earth, the seriousness of Universe Sandbox, open endedness of Powder Toy, and trigger that "into the unknown" feeling some of us got back in the early days of Minecraft.

I used to live in the SF bay area, and a good amount of items would be gone as you described. Items I couldnt sell on CL likely ended up on someone else's CL account who had more time to sell (I was moving) .

Choice does not equal demand. Low profile switches are relatively new. And no, there are a few brands that build them. I would not build a board myself.
> We don't have "a credit score" in the US either. We have a credit history, much like you describe.

Not exactly. There are MANY credit scores in the US and several credit agencies. Different score calculations occur for different purposes, mortgages, credit card, automobile, and so forth. Plus there are different versions of each credit score's model. Each credit reporting agency keeps a separate credit file per person. Each person's credit file contains credit histories from various creditors. Not all creditors report to all credit reporting agencies. Not all credit reporting agencies receive the same information from a creditor, even when receiving information. The score for a particular person may differ between different credit reporting agencies, credit scoring models, or any of various other factors.
Yeah, my writing was quite ambiguous as well. I shouldve written out the full sentences.
Show HN: BrowserBox – Remote Browser
Hello Folks,

We've been building Browser Box as a platform to embed and stream remote browser's content. It is an early preview and we are sharing it with the HN community to get feedbacks.

Remote Browser[1] is a demo built on top of it. Here we've tried to emulate a browser's view inside a browser tab.

Do check it out and we'd love to read your thoughts here.

Looks like you can either do this by referencing static pages with HTTPS directly or by putting a load balancer in front of your site:

https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/troubleshooting#https

My shared hosting provider (Cooini) gives an HTTPS option out of the box. It used to be a paid option that required upgrading to dedicated hosting, but they changed it years ago to a simple cost-free toggle in their dashboard
I seem to remember Sweden had similar excess mortality in 2018 and 2020. Comparing with the "peers" you see fit is just as much cherrypicking as comparing with other European countries. Comparing against the same country should correct for some of the obvious confounding factors of comparing a whole country to another.

After NeXTStep was adopted by Apple, they hired a bunch of the FreeBSD core developers and updated the BSD service and userland using FreeBSD. Apple was actually already messing around with Mach prior to that with MkLinux so there was some initial speculation that they might port to MkLinux rather than update NeXT's Mach+BSD hybrid.
Look up Hellpoint, it's close to what you ask for.
Gorillas' job cut email memo
A game that employs the surreal visual style of the early CGI between the 70s and the 80s. They had a certain style that is easy to recognize. Dark backgrounds, models of the world and characters that are meant to express a technical achievement, high contrast, etc. The animation series ReBoot came later but it heavily relied on that aesthetic.
I had a similar thing happen to me. I disputed the charge via Credit Karma, explaining that the service never worked so I never paid. It was removed within a few days.

Because voice commands have insane latency, require you to memorize a certain syntax, and hope the computer processing your audio understands you.

Like if I want to tell my alexa to turn the temperature up on the thermastat I have to remember this exact phrase: Alexa, tell the ecobee to turn the temperature [up, down], [ecobee name]. Anything else and alexa tells me "ecobee doesn't support that". And alexa/siri/google are all top of the line, offline processing inside a car's CPU is measurably worse, and syntax is even more esoteric.

Ever try to use voice commands to tell your car to give you GPS directions to the nearest walmart? Basically impossible unless you have the street address memorized, and even then it's a 10 minute ordeal with a lot of stops and starts because the processor wasn't listening as soon as you started speaking to it so it only caught the end of an address, or it misheard a number or street name, etc.

Voice control is far from being an acceptable alternative to physical dials and switches.
Remember that the electoral college was designed with the same _intent_ that the 3/5ths compromise was. It was desperation to get everyone on board, not sound political science. It was designed to purposely give smaller states outsized voices because that's what it took to convince a small state to give up total autonomy to this new, untested, group of states thing.
>> but you have added fraud protection also.

>In practice, all the fraud I've been victim of always fit within the card networks' dispute resolution rules

I think there's an element of "fraud protection" that you're missing. If your debit card gets breached and someone racks up $2000 worth of charges on it, the $2000 is immediately gone from your bank account. If rent/bills are due soon, that might be bad. On the other hand if you have a credit card, you have at least 3-4 weeks since the bill is issued before you have to pay, which means 3-4 extra weeks to get it resolved/refunded without having it affect your finances.
I grew up playing Runescape before World of Warcraft, and always loved the high fantasy theme. I'd love a single player game, fantasy style, with Runescape like aspects. The colours, the elements, the warrior/archer/ranger, the music. One thing you have to say is that the Runescape music really worked for us as kids back then.

Perhaps not the grind.

But the high fantasy atmosphere is something I wish I could experience again.

Sounds like titanfall 2, other than the battle royale part.
Some digging led me to this theory, which is the root of this relationship. There's a proposed language family uniting an otherwise isolated family of Siberian languages with the large Na-Dene language family of North America.

The bit about "khan" seems less interesting and mostly unrelated. The Mongolian word happens to be a loan word from some ancestral Yenesian language, I guess?
Between 2019 and 2022 Mazda improved the truly atrocious latency linked to screen operations. All operations are physical, but you still need menus to find what you want. The latency was quite impressive.
The 2022 has less latency and seemingly different menu trees to go with the ultrawide ( but narrow height) screen.

HVAC is screen-independent. So is volume, thankfully.
There’s enough commonality that you could make some kind of generic buffer pool library. However, writing databases is still quite niche so I’m not sure it’d be worth it. There’s also a lot of details with regards to transactional semantics that differs per database.
Just depends on what can be lost and how you handle retries. Last big service I worked on (throughput of a few billion work items / incoming api requests per day) had a dozen network dependencies. We leveraged an in house queuing system, kafka as a bus, and all calls to other services as direct calls with heavy caching. Every call interacted multiple times with the queue (minimum 2) and sent out ~8 events. Each call leveraged direct network calls to the dependent services but due to caching responses, batching, pre-pulling data to cache, etc we would typically keep calls under a couple thousand requests per second.

So more direct to your question, I guess you could say 1 request became 2 queue calls, 8 bus events, and a dozen direct network calls at 90% cache hit ratio.
As intended. There is no better way to influence someone's behavior than when they have the feeling of constantly being watched. It's about control.
I use to have a 2006 Saab. I LOVED how it had mechanical buttons for everything on the dash.

http://images.gtcarlot.com/pictures/48277419.jpg

It's no surprise given that Saab has a history in aerospace.

I totally get why car manufacturers are moving to essentially a big iPad as a replacement for the overall dash (it's like when the iPhone came out and people loved their Blackberry keyboards), but from a function vs form perspective - buttons are way easier.
There are some good ideas in an old post by Joel Spolsky https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2001/12/25/getting-things-don... HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=258289 (24 points | July 27, 2008 | 15 comments) (At that time, 24 points was a lot.)
RAM is really fucking expensive though. Even a modest data set of a couple of dozen terabytes will cost an arm and a leg if you're keeping it mostly in RAM (with redundancy).

> Text means that you need different versions for different international markets, which causes a lot of additional SKUs and associated logistics costs.

If only we could all decide upon a "default" language to use globally, much like a lot of software out there is available only in English which seems to be good enough (almost all programming languages included) for most cases.

Then again, I'm the kind of person who finds most localizations in my native language to be uncomfortable to use and attempts by the academia to force people to use translated IT terms pointless - that will only lead to more confusion.

Of course, not everyone knows multiple languages so maybe that's not the best argument, since we should be accomodating to many people if possible. And then there's the fact that I might have to learn Mandarin eventually if such an initiative came to pass.
Haven't heard of that - I'll check it out.
Finally getting around to sharing my long overdue side project that I had started back in Jan 2021.

The data processing is handled by two EC2's running Java to parse the FAA's flight plan feed. Peak midday that's running about ~65msgs/sec, a reduced and manageable number because I'm filtering for major airlines only (no GA, no bizjet, etc). The cleaned-up and filtered flight plan data heads to both Postgres for storage as well as SQS.

Consuming the SQS messages is a Python app that's crunching flight plans and confirming each flight is still heading to it's original destination (thanks redis!). If the destination airport changes, the flight gets flagged and some add'l business logic runs.

Ultimately you get the frontend (Django) presented here with a sprinkling of terrible JS to get the map and some timeline data.

I've been hacking with the FAA's SWIM data feeds for a few years now and hope to start sharing more of the technical details. Happy to answer any questions or hear some feedback!
Ill concede to that, but you have to admit, HN does not favor the things in this area.

Yeah, reminds me of biscuits[0] - because they're based on asymmetric cryptography they can be delegated, but also attenuated. If you just use a uuid that's not really going to work as well, unless you're willing to go back to some authority to forge a new, lesser capability.

Wow, excellent article. And it sent me down a deep rabbithole reading the rest of Bret's blog. Thank you.
My dad had a brief encounter with a coma and it really brought the mountain of his belongings to the forefront of my mind. Books, comics, baseball cards, knives, guns, and other collectibles. Where he stores all this is a giant building that looks like a barn.

After his coma I talked to him about my fears of dealing with this and the issues I had trying to reverse engineer his finances from QuickBooks. He was actually very receptive, and it was an opportunity for him to share his thoughts on life and death with me. Since then he's earmarked or given away a lot of things, and the building is much more organized.

If you find yourself in a situation like the article, don't wait until someone died to deal with those things. In my dad's coma, I observed my own mental state; everything I saw was a collection of memories of my dad, I couldn't fathom if he passed what to do with all of it (and my mother would need to move). I had no hierarchy that correlated things that remind me of him and things that were valuable to him. Those things were impossible to know without a conversation.

U want victoria 3 game by paradoxplaza
“Earthquake” : You are randomly assigned an identity, could be male, could be female, could be any age or ethnicity. Your generated identity could be at any stage of life, doing practically anything from laundry, to getting married, to engaging in violent crime or performing medical surgery.

Whatever country you live in, the city this occurs in is the largest, most local that also experiences earthquakes.
A magnitude 9 quake hits, pretty much leveling the city. The entire earthquake itself is a massive pre-calculated physically accurate simulation of what that city would actually experience, including at least a week of after quakes.

The first game level is simply surviving the quake. Where ever you are, your situation is different, but it’s all playing out in “bullet time” - slower than normal with visual streaks from motions. The initial quake is at least 1 minute long, 5–10 minutes in “bullet time”. After a quake ends, time is normal, but every aftershock it’s “bullet time” again.

If you die, you died this incarnation of the game. If you died an impossible to recover death, you get randomly assigned a new identity. If your death was preventable, you live that same life again.
If you are trapped, you are trapped and you must get someone’s attention to rescue you, while whatever injuries you’ve received accumulate against your life reserve keeping you alive.
If you survive, what you do next is up to you.

The game starts over every day/hour or whatever frequency makes sense, playing out until the last person quits/dies or the after quakes end, about a week of simulation time.
It’s massively multi-player.

It’s like “Groundhog’s Day”, the movie, but with life or death circumstances for everyone.
There’s modding capabilities for people to implement objects, so EMT techs, police, criminals, and everyday people’s various tools actually operate.

Due to the open ended capability of modding, there might be a need for a separate ‘Earthquake in Alice’s Wonderland’ after a while, but the game needs to be created first.

A separate, parallel mini-game is the ‘outside journalists’: an excuse for people to create ‘news clips’ of themselves or any other player’s activities framed in a “news reporter over the shoulder explainer” clip. These are fed into a teaser streaming channel anyone can view, playing the game or not.

FWIW, I left the game industry. So, if you want to make this game, please do.
