I really like the idea of Orion (I refer to it as a "superuser safari") and would gladly have paid for it if it had been necessary.
Not a fan of subscriptions though, I was hoping for something more akin to what most MacOS-software does.

I wish the two services were integrated though.
To me it feels strange I'd have to pay monthly for both Kagi and Orion and still need Apple's iCloud to sync my settings across devices.

Also, I wish they wouldn't state things like "the fastest browser on the Mac". Having used both Kagi/Safari side by side for a few months, Safari definitely feels faster in regular usage (I don't care about benchmarks).

I used to be on there for a time ,and I like reddit for commenting on things more-or-less anonymously, like HN, but with game dev I actually want to network and get to know people more, not just see a random post that the username looks vaguely familiar from maybe a few months ago or something.

Like I'm not in the board game industry, but people in the board game industry are pretty much all on Facebook in certain Facebook groups, and I'm friends with a decent number of them, and get notifications when they post, and then I can comment on their posts, so I've gotten to know several people in the industry fairly well over the years, and hang out with them at conventions or whenever they're in the area.

In comparison, despite having been on r/gamedev on and off over the years, I know zero people through that in person. I know a few game developers still but only because I used to work with them professionally (it's a fairly small scene where I live).

Yeah, I think I'm quite a ways away from going Early Access. Part of me also wonders if it may be more lucrative to focus on VR at the moment, with all the recent headset sales (>10 million Quest 2 headsets sold) and the dearth of new content on the platform.

But my game could work for pancake screens too, and was originally intended for that alone. I am currently developing the game with porting to VR in mind, like trying to keep it playable on VR, and sending builds to my VR headset periodically to make sure things don't crash and framerates are still decent.

Imagine a search engine that only indexes quality review sites (like Rtings), and has a comprehensive database across all of commerce. It would become super popular, and would be easy because there are very few quality review sites.

Here's some classic leadership from Moses. Numbers 31:17

"Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves"

And from the Big Guy Himself, Deuteronomy 20:

"As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves [...] However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites"

Does that count as one isolated instance, or six?

(Just btw: I offer the above merely as a counterexample to a rather glaring claim, not as a criticism of Judaism. Just because I was taught as a small child, by christians, that everyone who disobeys god deserves to die, and if they don't it's solely due to his mercy, doesn't mean everybody contextualizes these passages that way. Also, the term "murder" is slippery because it isn't a synonym of "kill". If you argue an instance of slaughtering people is justified or legal, you can make it "not murder" by mere definition.)

Ageism is illegal in the US, however the way the law is written it specifically only protects people over 40. I've always personally theorized that this is why tech ageism tends to start affecting people in their 30s, so that it doesn't wait until it's illegal and gets the job done of oppressing more senior employees earlier on.

I've been a generalist in tech and a contractor, so my experience, while not directly applicable, may be helpful to you.

In my mind, being a solopreneur is all about lead flow; that's the toughest part for me. I leaned heavily on my network as they knew the quality of my work and I didn't have to sell them much. I'd start reaching out to everyone who you have worked with in the past decade and letting them know you are looking. My favorite phrasing, which doesn't put past contacts on the spot, is "I'm looking to do XYZ. Do you know anyone who is looking for such help?"

I'd go looking for work 6-8 weeks before my contract ended (I tended to have 1-2 at a time).

Their entire business model is premised on the fact that they don't. If they ever were found to be, their hundred million dollar businesses (expressvpn) would vanish.

When express has their servers seized in turkey, there was no usable data on them.

I know you are super paranoid, but that still doesn't make my point wrong, or using a VPN wrong. Again, if you trust a vpn more than your ISP, that's pretty legitimate in many countries.

Ask HN: Would you use a Mac app to store and encrypt your photos/videos?
Hey HN,

I'm thinking of making a Mac app that will allow users securely save their photos and videos, not just save but encrypt every bit of data saved into this app. Also, I was thinking of adding synchronization, so the users can sync their media across all devices and only can access their files with a password. However, I don't know if someone will use some kind of app like this for Mac. I saw a lot of Photo Vault on iPhone but I don't know if Mac users are interested in these kinds of apps.

Would you use a Mac app to protect your photos and videos in an encrypted vault? I will appreciate it if you can share your opinion if you see this as something you would use.

Rereading the wiki article, it seems Australia resembles England before the House of Lords was broken in the 1905-1909 time period - the upper house can influence money bills. It would seem that this was a case of the Governor General involving powers of the crown that it has but should not use. The gg was Australian.

Perhaps this is (another) example of the difficulties of running a government composed of more than one centre of power.

It is definitely viewed as lower tier, which is unfortunate because it's incredibly valuable.
The fastest train currently in long-distance service is the Fuxing Hao CR400AF/BF which is currently in service at 350 km/h (220 mph). San Diego to Jacksonville is 3350km (2100mi) straight line. That gives a lower bound of 9.5 hours. Of course the actual path couldn't be a straight line, and the train would need to accelerate and decelerate several times for intermediate stops.

> high school history tends to skip from the civil war to WW1

I very, very highly doubt that. In terms of US history, this period covers several important topics:

* Reconstruction

* Settling of the American West

* Rise of the Granger and later Progressive movements

* Burgeoning immigration to the US, and all the tensions that result from that

* Second Industrial Revolution, which also fuels the Gilded Age and labor movements

* Beginnings of American imperialism (and somewhat ironically, the end of it... the US becomes pretty uninterested in territorial expansion almost immediately after experiencing its first major bout of imperial expansion in the Spanish-American War).

It's possible that you just don't remember what you learned in US history classes in this time period, but completely excising a quarter of the country's history would be rather surprising, especially when it's the part of the history that covers both the biggest shift in self-image (from an agrarian country distancing itself from world politics to an industrialized powerhouse increasingly engaged in world politics) and the development of mass political consciousness worldwide in the late Long 19th Century.
There is no strong reason that a regulator funded enough to go after every scam wouldn't instead spend much of the time chasing their own personal or political enemies.

There is evidence that they wouldn't use the resources in the public interest: since we know that the NSA is well funded with a budget that isn't up to public inspection and it has used its surveillance powers for the fulfillment of its staff's prurient interests.

"We just don't have a way to solve this via authority" is also a possible answer.

It's fundamentally a question of scalability: Asking a regulator to protect everyone just doesn't scale, in anything but the most draconian police state there will always be more crooks than regulators (and in a police state the crooks become police). So the primary defense must always be an individual and personal responsibility, as irritating as that is. The regulator then exists to backstop people's personal protection, dealing with what slips through and helping to keep the personal costs tolerable.

Doesn't mean that our regulators couldn't do better. I think they could. But there is only so much you can expect via regulator and law enforcement action.
True, because their descriptions literally contain the words "Office" and "Docs".

But one of the alleged alternatives for Docs is Athens Research, which is totally unrelated; there's just a link to its "docs" in the description. These are not the docs you are looking for.

And again, "Excel" or "PowerPoint" return zero results. Same goes for "Photoshop".

"Windows" returns, among others (also completely unrelated): "Brave Browser" - because the description happens to mention that the browser works on Windows.
That is amazing! Hope the view didn't distract your ability to focus since it is so gorgeous.

I’ve repeatedly wasted hours on issues intrinsic to CMake (not respecting options, overriding my options by passing contradictory ones in a way that’s beyond my control, etc., but also you guessed it, bugs in CMake, or issues with its awful and poorly thought out language). I’ve never had issues intrinsic to a script that just calls gcc or what have you. Any issues I’ve had with builds using scripts are to do with learning how a specific compiler works, something I have to do anyway, and therefore it’s never wasted. Sometimes but rarely enough, I even use CMake as a starting point (especially if I can’t access my previous scripts right at that moment), but I just extract the resulting commands, write the script, and delete the CMakeLists.txt.

I have ported scripts to use `zig cc` (though that uses a gcc/clang-like set of options by design, so easy in CMake also), and `tcc` (again gcc/clang-like, but only supporting a small subset of options, so with a script, I can just remove those arguments and the “port” is done — suppressing options CMake wants to give is harder).

As for poorly re-implementing something CMake already does, I disagree when CMake doesn’t do all that much (CMake’s language is not great at doing much beyond specifying basic target options). Writing compile_commands.json for a gcc toolchain is a one-liner callout to python, just `print(json.dumps({“directory”:sys.argv[1], “arguments”: argv[2:], “file”: argv[-1]}))` given the same arguments as that `build` function from earlier. This tiny extra up-front cost reaps rewards for every ship cycle where you don’t have to fight with the tool, or even learn it in the first place (think about issues like passing -D options to CMake, then reconfiguring the build in the same build dir but with different options — does this always work or do what you expect? in my experience, absolutely not). I won’t complain about the general quality of typical CMakeLists.txt files because the general quality of scripts isn’t great either! But it’s nice to limit the number of poorly taught and therefore poorly written scripting languages involved in the build, and shell is far more generally applicable, so it’s a worthwhile investment compared to CMake/meson/waf/b2/xmake/bazel/whatever else is coming down the pipe. (If you’re a massive organization, we’re talking collaboration across the globe in ways that exceed normal methods of human collaboration, and that result in monumental build times and complexity, then invest in a fancy tool like bazel, it’ll probably be worth it for you).

I’m perfectly happy for people to continue to use CMake, so I’m not saying other opinions are wrong, and I wouldn’t immediately proselytize a team to switch away if I joined it — one of the reasons I don’t tend to use it is because focusing on build tools is a huge time sink, but it’s also a time sink to start a debate about transitioning to a script. But I’m happy not having to deal with it in many situations.

"those choosing to emigrate are most likely to be willing or wanting to leave that nonsense behind"

In the modern, technologically connected world, it is much harder to leave nonsense behind. Even if you move to the other side of the world, you will still be exposed to your home country's politics through easily obtainable TV channels and through your Internet acquaintances on worldwide social networks. In a way that was impossible in 1920 or 1820.
It's also because the manual needs to be finished so it can go to the printers, but the game is going to get a day one patch that often makes major changes.

A lot of 80s and 90s games in boxes would have the main manual, and then a small pamphlet (printed later) describing last minute changes, because the manuals had to be finalized before the disks, and you wouldn't reprint the manuals unless hell froze over, anyway.

Then there's the expense of localizing that. And the budget, and that nobody will read the manual anyway.

It also allows you to script otherwise interactive command line operations with the correct answer. Many come like tools now days provide specific options to override queries. But there are still a couple hold outs which might not.

That's absolutely a problem if a train designed to have a driver doesn't have one (which is what happened here). If trains were designed to not need drivers, this wouldn't have happened, because (a) enough mechanical brakes would have been applied automatically, (b) the engine fire would have been detected and reported automatically, and (c) if the brakes failed there would have been an immediate alarm when the train started moving.
