I’m thinking the original version came with a hardware card. But someone hacked it to work with the internal speaker. I definitely did not have a hardware card.

It worked both with my original Apple //e and later my Apple //e card for my LCII.
The context was about end-to-end encryption, so the language was perfectly correct. It is one type of encryption.

It is more likely that you are trying to weaponize the words for your own designs.
Only the first breakpoint? It's glacial for me on a pretty well spec'd 2019 MBP. Every step takes several seconds as, I guess, resources or just data are pulled from my device. I still try to start with the debugger but I almost always fall back to print statements. (It's often faster to add print statements and rebuild+redeploy than wait for a step or two in the debugger).
Why would the grocery store, who tracks inventory changes with each sale, only be able to know the credit card total?
If you want VCs then it's always the US and should always be a Delaware corp.

For non-VC funded companies HK is great, allows for tax minimization, minimal headaches, access to international banks and potential access to Chinese market if that is important for your business.
Doing stuff like this today is going to be 100x better than what people 3 generations from now will have to live through thanks to climate change.

The question is whether we’re willing to inconvenience ourselves today to protect future generations - and the answer is looking like no.
Not much, because I also pay in coins in exact amounts.
I am sure that Tunisian olive oil is delicious (I've been to Morocco where it was also great, but not Tunisia - yet!) The problem for anyone who isn't there in person is not knowing if it's been mixed with less-delicious oil from somewhere else while it was being shipped. Here in the US I tend to stick to oil from California, which is less likely to have been tampered with (since it didn't travel as far, or pass through as many hands).
This level of compliance is so low that every business in Germany manages it. It is dirt cheap to outsource to a tax advisor, and in doing so no distraction at all.

Product market fit doesn't matter if you are unable to run a business.
> The state owns the only alcohol store.

How do they feel about being responsible of delivering poison to people then? Somehow I can rationalize it if it's a transaction between private parties, but if the government acts as the drug dealer it's no better than a cartel.
To that I say that Docker is a great example of terrible choices on how to monetize their technology, this being one of them.
What is functioning as a good store of value in that environment? Gold? Bitcoin? Stocks? Real estate?

Some people on twitter take offense when opinions such as parent's are said, but I believe he has a point. I'm talking specifically about the amount of colors and also the use of tiles instead of a discrete art.

There's something to limited color space that those people do not seem to understand, be it the ones saying such critique, or the ones getting mad at it. We see color quantization in any realistic painting after the renaissance. Limiting the color space actually makes the pixel art look more realistic, because then every shade or shadow fits the overall drawings. Once you go Stardew Valley, sure it's pixel art, but just like a Picasso is great, it's not a Caravaggio, it's not "realistic" when it comes to how lighting reflects off surfaces.

Then there's the use of tiles/repeating background parts or having a full canvas where every pixel is unique. Although it's nice to look at, there's just too much information for the brain to process. That kind of art is nice, but in a game it's distracting. I personally call that kind of art pixel paintings and separate it from classic pixel art with tiles and limited colors.

It might be all just rose tinted glasses of nostalgia, but I firmly believe there's some science to what I just described. Look at any Caravaggio painting but especially portraits to see how limited the color space really is, how sometimes he uses shades of a color to give the impression of a very distant (color-space-wise) second color. It's really about that.
Psychonauts is gorgeous and magical but also has a huge number of little dreamland inhabitants who want to beat the snot out of you, and whom you must defeat with your various psychic powers.
The article already answers this:

"When the purchases are linked to a household, it will be possible in the consumption statistics to analyze socio-economic and regional differences in consumption, and link it to variables such as income, education and place of residence."
Isn’t that just what sales tax is for? Another comment mentioned increasing your tax bracket if you bought too much meat, but trivially they could just add a sales tax on meat instead to the same effect.
and to think I almost made this comment if I hadn’t continued scrolling!

Also the form of the sprites changed significantly, it was a massive shift in artistic personality and aesthetic direction that the tutorial just called it “not using straight lines”. I think they could have made their point while not swapping in a different set of tastes entirely.
> I never filed yearly accounts for the UG so afr, the first two years you don't have to.

I've never heard about this and also can't find any sources for that when googling. Could you post an article that describes why a UG wouldn't have to file a "Jahresabschluss" in the first two years?
It really got started with prince of Persia sands of time. Ubisoft spent a lot of time going on about their context sensitive controls (which they actually credited to sports games at the time) then it spread from there.
I don't know about him, but my Safeway has a change machine up front. You can either get the total in cash, minus commission, or store credit for the whole amount.
I switched from Inkscape to Affinity Designer and never looked back.
I’ve founded companies in the UK, US and EU. I’d recommend the UK.

The cost of a limited company is £12. It’s formed in a day. Use https://www.ukpostbox.com if you need an address.

The legal system is well known and entrepreneur friendly. Accountancy and company admin are simple and relaxed. HMRC is supportive. You can pay dividends on a flexible schedule.

There’s a very large ecosystem of financial support, innovation grants, incubators, accelerators, angel networks and VC firms.

Flip to the US for later stage funding. Nice problem to have.

Needless to say, IANAL, this is not financial advice, crayons, etc.
Or just measure the methane output and charge the farmers a tax on that directly. That would give them incentive to feed their cows that methane reducing seaweed.
Also remember the original acronym was FANG and left out Apple even though it was growing by leaps and bounds at the time.
Similar to what I wanted to comment. 30 years ago I knew some places selling for 2,00DM or 2,50DM. 2 years ago it was 4,50EUR, now it’s 6,00EUR.
Show HN: Lorblets, a Little Puzzle Game
Lorblets is a little puzzle game I made: https://www.lorblets.com/

Lorblets is a variation on Lights Out. The goal of Lorblets is to turn ON all the lights. Unlike Lights Out (typically a grid of black and white squares), Lorblets puzzles have complex shapes (and bright colors!). The puzzles in Lorblets are generated at random from a seed, and they grow in size as you progress.

The code quality is...not great? The design leaves something to be desired. And the game itself is a bit derivative. So why am I sharing this? Because I want to celebrate having shipped a complete game - modest though it may be.

I'm a 39yo who has long dreamt of one day making a game. And yet I've tended to put my software engineering skills to work doing everything except that. I've devised complicated game mechanics on paper. I've written multiple overly complicated game "engines" in JavaScript. I've daydreamed for countless hours about my magnum opus: a 3D simulated open world with a natural language interface, narrative generation, character customization, scene building tools, a modding system... Long story short, that magnum opus has been fun to tinker on, but has not amounted to much beyond the spinning of wheels and the occupation of my free time.

So over the Memorial Day holiday I decided to force myself to complete one game before the weekend was over. I would conceive the simplest possible game mechanic and UI. I would not worry if it was unoriginal. I would resist the urge to add complexity. I would not get bogged down standing up a framework. I would not build an "engine." I would not worry about clean code, or maintainability, or even performance. I would use the tech stack that I could work fastest in: web tech. And I would not worry that the astral projection of Jonathan Blow would visit me at night and chide me for having made a badly performing web browser game.

So, Lorblets is the result. Whatever one might say about it, it IS a game, and that's something. Feedback is welcome of course - but I mostly just wanted to share my story with y'all.
the majority of the public wouldn't care about their food purchases being tracked.

Citizen #83238201: You have exceeded your yearly purchasing quota for condoms and thrush medication. Please report to your nearest moral re-education camp.

The filing is free (you can do it yourself), but most types of corporation require attestation which can cost more than 1k per year.
Losing over $60 billion in valuation is an impressive feat, makes me wonder if that’s a record or something?
I think they are more likely referring to being able to create a fingerprint of what you purchase. If you purchase via card enough times its not unreasonable that a model could be created to link your cash transactions back to you.
1. I'm not a lawyer.

2. If you want to hire someone abroad (outside of the business' country) then contractor.

3. If you hire enough contractors, you may be forced to set up an entity or use a PEO. Local governments see that as skirting employment law.

(I work at an all-remote company that is pretty transparent, and people lambast us all the time because they are upset we don't hire in $a_country_they_think_we_should and it's almost always "tax and labor law is complex, we can't hire there until we understand the implications better.")

The Nazis were just as much far left as far right, if not more. It's funny to me how people are unwilling to acknowledge this.
Rust doesn’t have initializers in the C++ sense. And I mean, even in C++ many classes like shared_ptr or even lock_guard have constructors that don’t acquire the resources yet. When the resource is acquired is an API design concern; the important part is where it’s released.
The people in society who need help the most often have the least trust in government and don't have the means to understand and navigate programmes that could help them.
> They should probably think about...

Problem is hypocrisy is hardly a reason that you can use against those in power.
No. They were integrated into the National Guard, which is form of gendarmerie.

It is not the same as the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which includes the army.

Several of your comments here are regurgitations of Kremlin propaganda. Please stop spreading misinformation.

What if the government said it was optional, but those who sign up get a 2% discount on their taxes? Would you find that more acceptable?
This sounds great.

What resources would you recommend for people looking to move to the Porto region.

And what sort of budget should one have?
I mean,

The entire UX is clunky, how does this even happen?
Which is why most of them hire consulting shops, as they see IT as a pure cost center.
This whataboutism is just more Russian propaganda (it’s a boilerplate argument that gets copy/pasted into every single debate about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine). It has absolutely nothing to do with the war in Ukraine, and the Iraq War doesn’t justify Russia’s conquest of Ukraine.
There’s quite a lot of violence in your list of nonviolent games there…
I was going to recommend Star Control UrQuan Masters, an old classic with great story telling, but it does feature combat between space-craft, so I'm not sure it meets your criteria.

Syberia*

I was going to say this game so I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Civilization games can have you craft your own story as they're really engaging, and you can opt for peaceful victories.

Geneforge games have combat as a mechanic but there are very often ways of avoiding or running away that allow for almost entirely pacifist completion, and the stories are great.
Given that this is Norway, the cynic in me thinks this is not about getting better demographic data as claimed, but rather to lay the groundwork for progressive sales taxes: your sales tax rate (potentially only for certain items) increases relative to your income and/or consumption habits. If this were just about demographics, it would be relatively straightforward to anonymize purchase records.

(Massive privacy implications aside, I don't necessarily disagree with progressive sales taxation.)
This blog post is two years old. In 2019–20, I think I could get a decent Döner for €3,50 in Berlin (depending heavily on the neighborhood, specific location, etc.). Prices have come up a fair bit since then. But yeah, €2 is eyebrow-raisingly low.
If you look into the egaming and adult sectors you'll find a lot of success stories. But these guys actively try to stay out of the media.

>raised money

If you want to raise VC funds with no revenue there really is no better option than Delaware. Malta/Isle of Man/Jersey are meant for businesses that generate so much cash you don't know what to do with it.

You may be confusing percentage increases (bounded by nothing) with percentage decreases (which are often bounded at 100%). Though even decreases aren't actually bounded either -- like when the price of crude oil turned negative at the start of COVID, that resulted in oil experiencing a >100% decrease in cost.

At the end of the day it's all just multiplication, and you can multiply by any number.
I don't think 1000€ per year for a yearly closing for a dormant company is "dirt cheap", but we might have different definitions of what constitutes "cheap".
My bank in germany has a machine, where I can put them in to be transfered to my account.
(but I think I only ever did that once)
Russia does that already country-wise.

Every receipt is sent to federal taxes office instantly, every cash register is connected to the internet.
Let's not stop there and let's profile people on everything they purchase and increase their taxes on everything that's not remotely considered healthy enough, because you know, they increase the burden on the whole society!

That's the recipe for the abolition of individual freedom.
The devil is in the details.

You have to understand what the tool does, how it installs, and if it costs money, lordy you have to wait for it to be approved by 10 levels of management.

Another problem is that log indexers and the aforementioned Azure insights almost certainly would require boatloads of storage and processing costs. Programmer time is fundamentally disrespected in organizations, and debugging/QA is even moreso. Companies basically throw a laptop at both of them and say "good luck with whatever free tools are out there".

But your example was basically a stack trace, from Javaland, I wouldn't call it revolutionary in tooling and is ground-level features of Javaland IDEs for about a decade or more, but maybe C#/whatever is different.

I won't disagree with the core point, since I complained about a lack of visualization tooling for multithreaded apps above. We need more tools and tooling awareness.
Merkel, Scholz, Macron?
I believe the reference is to utilizing pattern matching in the items and quantities purchased. We are creatures of habit and tend to repeat the same activities and purchases.
There's a general reaction that big government is bad, more tracking is bad. Norway ranks highly in most metrics of development and quality of life. Perhaps in a high trust society this type of data collection is a positive.
I wonder if you would still feel that way if you ended up being the victim of said criminals.

There has to be a balance, or at least recognition that encryption leads to situations never before possible.
With this they can make a progressive sales tax. "Oh, if you buy meat according to the national average, you pay the standard tax. But if you are eating more than that, you pay double."
Indeed, but we should almost certainly care more about total homicide than gun violence (which is 2/3rds suicide, 1/3rd gun homicide).
Everyone who has at least very basic education and comprehension skills knows he's the 100% reason of it. (Some are just evil and still at his side, but let's forget it for a moment)

But, there is a lot of corruption and there's about ~30% of the population which is exteremely uneducated and/or under Stockholm Syndrome and still supporting him.

That percentage + cheating in elections + telling "the west is the reason" keeps him in power.
Maybe I'm being unfair. I would feel more charitable if I saw a concerted effort to warn potential living donors of the risks they get themselves into. There is virtually no such effort and I believe this leads at least some well-meaning people to make a life-changing decision with less than complete information.

And that is what I think is the most unfair thing, the greatest injustice, of all. To deprive an independent adult from the freedom to make an informed decision about their own health.

I'm speaking from personal experience again and this is probably coloring my views. In any case, since I will probably need kidney replacement therapy sooner or later I can say with certainty that both options, dialysis (both kinds) and transplant, just suck.
I've always been an AM user but I can't stand the poor performance and issues anymore. I switched to Spotify again 3 months ago and amazingly they still have my 7-8 year old collaboration playlist with my wife. But Apple Music on the other end just removed my playlists that are barely a year old.
Rust also has something similar, in the form of the `#[must_use]` attribute.
Funny that whoever controlled Staples Center believed that crypto.com have a high probability to last 20 years..

Even 2 years would have been an unknown.
If there's a cash transaction every Wednesday between 7pm and 9pm, which always contains a specific type of bread, and a specific type of breakfast cereal, and a specific type of milk, and a specific type of sandwich filling, that's anonymous customer #5678.

If you ever misremember the amount cash in your wallet, and, rather than just abandoning your basket at the checkout when you discover this, you pay with a card just one time, for that exact basket, when there is no cash customer for that basket on that night, they can now be pretty certain about who customer #5678 is, and can then link you to 95% of your historic purchases too.

OpSec is hard, yo.
Well, since we sat on our collective asses and blamed the consumer while corporates were building mass survaliance, we should not be surprised that the state is joining the party.
In the US you’re responsible for your own personal actions regardless of LLC existence or not.

If you’re selling a product, the LLC should protect you from liability caused by the product. (With many caveats)

But the LLC won’t protect you from your personal actions
Thanks for the link. That was what I was thinking about when writing my response about "complex code to do trivial things is kind of a meme." but i couldn't find it.
So we just forgot Joe Rogan and continued with Spotify as if nothing happened? Cool, cool.

Given that since 2020 we observed that (at least in the US) many were not even prepared to accept minor inconvenience to protect the _current_ generations, I’d say the answer is emphatically “hell no” rather than just looking like it.
What I keep finding non obvious is equity. And especially ideally keeping US side a Delaware C. How to issue international options and shares?
Thanks, that’s an informative reply I hadn’t thought of
At the beginning, then they hire the likes of HCL, Infosys, Wipro, TCS,.... because IT isn't their core business, and C levels see it as a cost center and distraction.

Eventually the few devs left get "sold" to the contracting company, with the architects left as management for the contractors.

Have seen this happening already several times since 2007.
Color does appeal to buyers, though. A B/W game system is doomed to a niche position.
Does Portal really count as “non-violent”? You commit murder at least once.
Oh wow, I actually didn't know that.
That can still be done with anonymized data. It is not necessary to associate purchasing habits with national ID numbers to perform the analyses you listed.
