> MMOs are kinda dying because of this mentality

Maybe the old school ones but there are many examples of games now that have season passes that cost $10-20 for a few months, have cosmetic items you can earn/purchase.

The "meta" in a game is what the min-maxed gear is. Or what I like to call the spreadsheet gear load-out. There are lots of discussions, play testing damage numbers, trying different modifiers/gear combos, etc. done to figure out the max damage-per-second (DPS) and then players gravitate to that gear, grinding for that gear, etc. Some people actually publish spreadsheets of data on the gear.

Then the game devs change the "meta" by tweaking the stats on the gear to make XYZ weapon/armor better, or introduce a new weapon that has better DPS. This sometimes aligns with season passes or map changes. Its endless and probably hugely profitable for them. If you compare the money people spend on these types of games, I bet the average player on season passes spends more than a monthly subscription based MMO (for those that actually spend money).

Its the same "keeping up with the jonses" concept IRL, or in business world, earnings have to always be better than the last time.
Paul Ford must spend a non-negligible amount of time sitting around thinking: “What’s the dumbest thing I could get Wired or Bloomberg to publish?”

And to be absolutely pedantic: He shouldn’t be mad about forms and inputs, they can be used with the read-only web (GET params) and have client-side only uses (calculations.)

Given what he’s trying to say, the headline should be: “The ‘HTTP POST’ Method Created the Modern Web. Was It a Big Mistake?”

But what’s a Paul Ford article without a misdirected a torrent of bromide to keep things flowing?
Journalists can't write about something like the <form> element without talking about Elon Musks' tweets. It's an unhealthy obsession and I'm kinda sick of hearing about it.
Lie flat does not exist for those of a normal height if you're talking about the luxury pods. Those business class sleepers are tiny and you will have to crook your knees.
Surprisingly we don't have a ton of creators offering swag stuff, I'd have assumed that it would have been a bigger draw (Some of that might have to do with us not really offering any support on our platform, but it's not a common request either).

If there's a "product" to sell, it's usually either the content itself, or access through things like community. But like I said in another comment, how much people spend isn't very correlated with what they get out of it at all.
This is likely an example why it may not always be a great idea to discuss politics at work. I know a lot of us have strong personal opinions on a lot of subjects, but making sure everyone on my team aligns with my beliefs is likely not conducive to teamwork. Quite the opposite.

If I was not an IC now, I would definitely be trying to cut discussions like that in a bud.
I wanted to add django but their issues aren't on github as they are using their own system. IMO an external issue tracker lead to a higher barrier to create new issues, so this isn't not necessary fair.

Also fastapi allows people to ask questions with the issues. On the 1000+ open issues, 826 are tagged as question.

It's hard to find a fair metric. Open/close ratio rewards older project with fluctuating/stable popularity. Fastapi popularity is still growing[0], so having some difficulties to work on issues is expected.

True, but not germane to the article, which is discussing India’s racial difficulties.

Indeed, suggesting that deep-seated structural racism is far from a uniquely American problem also makes some people upset.
They aren't. It is meant for prepaid models, which is kind of a feature for me.
It was a mistake insofar as spammers love a good <form> element to abuse.
This is pretty fun! Thanks for sharing :)
A Wake-Up Call for Public Education
Yes Pokémon Legends: Arceus was a tipping point for me. The game does not look good at all to me, and across 3 different switches I tested, it felt like it was hitching and not loading correctly even with the low detail and resolution in docked mode. I’m handheld it’s a bit better, but that’s not really how I want to play the game.

On the other hand, my most played game is by far Old School RuneScape, which is a restore of a backup of RuneScape from 2007. The game has certainly evolved in style and content since the re-release, and I use a 3rd party client with an “HD” plug-in which adds more render distance, shadows, lighting and anti-aliasing.
it has nothing to do with me, it has to do with people saying what they mean so others can see it. Purposeful ambiguity is a constant effort by fascist groups to try and introduce ideas into discourse while simultaneously denying them trying to undermine critics.

Lossy doesn't make sense as a criterion with floats. Float to float addition can be lossy.

Whether there is a conversion is architecture dependent. I believe x86 has an opcode for direct multiplication.
There used to be a setting to tweak Chrome's process behavior.

I believe the default behavior is "Coalesce tabs into the same content process if they're from the same trust domain".

Then you can make it more aggressive like "Don't coalesce tabs ever" or less aggressive like "Just have one content process". I think.

I'm not sure how Firefox decides when to spawn new processes. I know they have one GPU process and then multiple untrusted "content processes" that can touch untrusted data but can't touch the GPU.

I don't mind it. It's a trade-off between security and overhead. The IPC is pretty efficient and the page cache in both Windows and Linux _should_ mean that all the code pages are shared between all content processes.

Static pages actually feel light to me. I think crappy webapps make the web slow, not browser security.

(inb4 I'm replying to someone who works on the Firefox IPC team or something lol)

Do we need every mega-corporation to weigh in on every social issue globally? The thing I like most about work is that its a relatively diverse group of people working together on shared goal. People have known for a long time that work should be professional and you should avoid politics and religion. But I guess people have to relearn these lessons every few decades.
Now I want to see the family tree!

I never understood OpenTTD. Passengers just board your vehicles and go wherever you take them? That makes no sense to me. How is that supposed to work?

I've played a bit of Simutrans, where each prospective passenger has an origin and a destination, and if you can take them there, they use your services, otherwise they don't.
This is what happens when a for profit company LARPs as an ethical one. On one hand they talk about diversity and on the other they desperately hire people they can pay less from areas of the world where "diversity is our strength" isn't really the norm. So in the end the company makes more money thanks to the cheap labor and it becomes even less inclusive and diverse.
Doesn't this sound like inherently bad advice? Fewer number of "fans" means that you risk is centralized around those few fans and their particular requests and demands. I can honestly see this getting very dark, very quickly.

You would rarely argue that a business should centralize around only a limited number of customers.

Trial diary: A journalist sits on a Baltimore jury
Cool to see this on HN. Have been using it for a while now, there are really some cool new concepts in there. Like for example that all media is automatically treated as an entity that can be reused, tagged, and organized in various ways and then you can take your notes just for this entity, but in a nested way. Huge potential in typed notes as well. Will be interesting to see how it develops! Since it'S cloud based I think they will be able to do some really cool social sharing/content analysis/recommendation things in the future. A lot of similarities to Notion (I think mostly in a good way), but a very nice implementation of daily notes, and tags for example that Notion lacks.
That is absolutely possible, but there are also definitely people who simply want to support people who do cool stuff, and don't necessarily need anything in addition to the free content in exchange.
If you look at construction, they have a system that's very similar to what DevOps espouses. Lots of trades and specializations, because building to code is complicated and important, and having the experience of doing one job well is important to be able to work around problems on the fly. But - this I think is the critical part - they must know about the other trades that are affected by their work, so as not to impede others' work or the project by accident. It's as much about compassion for the guy coming after you as it is reducing cost and speeding up construction. All of that is the aim of DevOps.
"Among federal borrowers"

This doesn't include people who get graduate degrees paid for by their parents or by the company they work for. I got a Masters and didn't take on any debt because the company paid for most of it and I only needed to pay a few hundred in fees each semester.

Now is a good time for me to say that it was still a waste of money and time. It was no benefit to me and didn't increase my comp. It would have been better to just work 2 extra hours at my job every day instead.

Men die earlier than women, even after you account for accident, and testosterone is the leading candidate for why.

There's no argument from nature to be made about medically boosting hormone levels.
Airline landings really aren’t very precise which is why runways are so wide.

In terms of wind, airships with the right control systems can be designed to hold position in 50+MPH guts. That takes a lot of power and rapid response, but modern airships can do 110kph and presumably commercial adoption would need higher speeds.
<form> is very generic construct, it's a constructor the same way programming language constructing data of type. Form is also a function call with inputs as parameters. It's inevitable IMHO.

They don't have to weigh in. But, if few Indian managers discriminate against Dalits, how are their non-Indian peers and managers supposed to correct that discrimination if they don't even understand what are castes? This isn't political, it's professional: US laws and Google policies forbid discrimination, and so people need to be trained in understanding what discrimination looks like. You don't categorize "security awareness training" as political either.

Not just caste discrimination, but also sexism. I have worked at least three companies where if there were Indian women, the vast majority were in QA.

> Rest assured, our users will still be able to connect to VPN servers that will give them Indian IP addresses and allow them to access the internet as if they were located in India. These “virtual” India servers will instead be physically located in Singapore and the UK.

Wondering why anyone is still using ip-based geolocation. The most popular use for VPN's is mocking your location to Steam and Netflix. Could be these players allow mock locations because it gives them revenue..
Yes, you can. I can. The average consumer? I would never suggest my parents check that box. In fact, I would advise against it in very strong terms.

I'm not saying Android doesn't offer that freedom to some. I'm saying most people don't (and shouldn't) use it.
Yeah, AT managed to gather good non-spammy ratings somehow—even though I do sometimes suspect that certain high ratings are artificial, but those are isolated cases. The site also clearly prioritizes open-source software, raising it even among higher-rated proprietary apps.

Since AT is crowdsourced, perhaps instead of discussing yet another list of alternatives, fellow HNers could go upvote software that they already use. Though this does require registration, of course.
An alternative history without <form> would likely have involved far more <applet> than the one that actually happened. Still talking through those http verbs you mention and not through custom protocols I think, because proxies were so common.
A major contributing factor is whether or not the language buffers output by default, and how big the buffer is. I don't think NodeJS buffers, whereas Python does. Here's some comparisons with Go (does not buffer by default):

- Node (no buffering): 1.2 MiB/s

- Go (no buffering): 2.4 MiB/s

- Python (8 KiB buffer): 2.7 MiB/s

- Go (8 KiB buffer): 218 MiB/s

Go program:

f := bufio.NewWriterSize(os.Stdout, 8192)
for {
f.WriteRune('1')
}
Yeah but what’s the point? A single-user VPN means all traffic is already attributable to them.

If the intent is just to access the Indian web, then sure. I’m sure there are plenty other non-privacy-aware VPNs that let you do that though.
What Is Precision Scheduled Railroading? (2019)
Thank you. I didn't want to get into a whole "thing" because the parent just doesn't know what they're talking about and I can't teach them everything in a comment thread, but suffice to say that Gene Kim and Jez Humble would agree with me, and that anyone who wants to know more can look up books and blogs by them.
I very much like the new version, Screeps: Arena, which is much more bounded and doesn’t require nearly the same time investment.
> “We also made the decision to not move forward with the proposed talk which — rather than bringing our community together and raising awareness — was creating division and rancor,” Newberry wrote.

This doesn't surprise me one bit. Even on HN, every thread on this topic turns into a flame war with a bunch of people crying racism/religionism. How dare we discuss something we don't fully understand? How dare we criticize another culture when we have our own problems? It's the same arguments every time, and then the article ends up flagged to death.

The role of caste within the US is a super important conversation to have, and every resident of the US is entitled to participate, but there are a lot of people with a vested interest in shutting it down and the tools to do so.
Context: my local newspaper ran a story about how almost half of local homes in 2021 were purchased by institutional buyers. [0]

Like in much of the US, home prices here have risen dramatically in the last 2 years. The report speculates that institutional purchases are not the primary cause due to a few factors outlined on page 30, including the fact that institutional buyers are not paying much of a premium over other buyers.

I think this is a little misleading. Institutional buyers still offer all cash or offer to purchase as-is, which eases things along for the seller even if there is not a price advantage. This will force other buyers to purchase at a more attractive price in order to get the property. Anecdotally, all my friends who have bought recently have had to pay over asking to compete with all-cash offers.

However, blaming institutional buyers for all of the price increase is a bit of a red herring. Institutional buyers existed before the huge housing inflation of the past few years. So, what changed? Low rates, COVID / remote work making single family homes more attractive, and the cost of construction increasing were things that changed drastically in the past few years. Not to mention strict zoning laws making new building more challenging in some markets. I don't think that's a problem locally for me, but it is a factor in places like SF.

Personally, I think that prices are going to come crashing down soon, just like what's happening to the stock market. The cost of servicing the mortgage on my home would be 75% higher than when I bought a few years ago if I bought today with 20% down. People are not making 75% or even 20% higher wages than just a few years ago. It's just unsustainable: even the investors need buyers or renters at the current inflated market prices to make whole on their purchases.

Oh OK. Changing model to pay per use is something we thought of but most people told us they would feel anxiety to search and preferred a fixed monthly fee. We are continuing to have an open discussion about this in Discord, our site and here on HN so lets see if we figure it out.
I don't know why I find articles like this so annoying, but in accordance with Betteridge's law of headlines[0], the answer is no.

>Here’s the thing: If it hadn’t been <form>, it would have been another element—maybe one with a more accurate name, like <money-vacuum> or <robot-food> or <privacy-destroyer>.

This sums up pretty much the entire article in that A) the form tag allowing the web to be a two-way street for data probably would've been filled by another feature, and B) the author is really lamenting about the tracking/anti-privacy/dark pattern world that the web has become. I completely understand the frustration, but it's certainly not an element's fault, but the fault of all the various players who have evolved the web over 25-30ish years. It might be more beneficial to actually explore that than blaming an html element.

>The web was born to distribute information on computers, but the technology industry can never leave well enough alone.

That's called progress.

FWIW, I'd probably say XMLHttpRequest "caused more damage" than the form tag, but I also don't think it's all that worthy of a discussion.

To me fake accounts aren't trolls. Trolls are people that say controversial shit just to get others riled up. more then likely they don't even hold strong political views because they the enjoy being an asshole way more and that would leave out half the population. Alot times they login anonymously.
Except racism (and "caste-based discrimination" is also racism) shouldn't be considered "politics", everybody should be able to agree that it doesn't have a place in a modern company.

Bit strange having to reach back 20+ years in a 25 year review to prove "recent" examples of creativity.

Game devs do seem to stick to tried & tested formulas especially with AAA titles which are major financial bets.

e.g. If you compare overwatch and say DotA. The one is a 1st person shooter the other a RTS engine. Yet conceptually they're identical. ~5 a side lane push mechanics with two tanks, two dps and a healer with each having unique but complementary abilities to emphasize teamwork and coordination. CSGO, TF2, League etc...same thing over and over
> US laws and Google policies forbid discrimination

Does U.S. law have precedent for discussing caste?

There is a case for typing the lowest-caste Indians, the Dalits this cancelled talk was meant to discuss, as a race and thus protected class under U.S. and Californian law. But I don't know if this is legally precedented.
That's because they want assets that can offset losses. They don't want to put a lien on a house. They're looking for a certain level of liquidity.
Yes, we got a lot of design inspirations from Notion. Here's the big difference:

Notion is great as a team workspace and to get things done while capacities is geared towards taking notes and building a knowledge base.

Imagine you take hundreds to thousands of notes. You'll have diminishing returns if you try to organize them in a hierarchy or rigid databases. At capacities we take a different approach: You just create ideas, questions, books, notes, .. and connect them afterwards with related ideas. By that you create a network of thoughts that becomes more valuable the more knowledge and ideas you add. It's a huge difference in how you take notes and on top how think and develop ideas.
