For anyone curious about Ulysses:

It’s great.

Read Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man before Ulysses.

If you gave up on it before: try again. I used to think it was BS for years but I tried again and ended up loving it.

I’d advise skipping student editions or getting hung up on reading tons of notes and criticism while reading it. Just use google translate for latin and know a little bit about Homer and Shakespeare. It’s about mainly about life, death, and reincarnation.

Ulysses is like a slot machine in that it rarely pays out on the first pull. And if anyone loved a good pull it was Joyce.
They are building Xbox as a brand/service not as a product these days. Sure they ship consoles but you can subscribe to Xbox Gamepass and and use it on both Windows and Xbox (and I think they also have game streaming? I could be wrong).
That wouldn't be called a "monorepo" then :D

Obviously, the problems they are solving (and admitting to solving) are due to their dedication to the monorepo.

With all the effort spent on working around the drawbacks, I really wonder what advantages they are seeing that make it worth their while?

Second the people selected for a company are selected based on their conformance to that companies culture. So even if not a single human in Microsoft is the same, the company culture is the there.

This reminds me of an old story, might be fiction, that conveys the idea. five chimpanzees were put in a cage, bananas in the center everytime one tried to get a banana they would get cold water untill they simply stoped trying. Then one by one they replaced the chimpanzees do one one of the new ones, tried to take one of the bananas the old ones would stop him. Slowly they replaced all of them and none of the new chimpanzees, who had never received a cold shower, took the bananas.

The same with corporations.

Sadly mobile support is still far off on the horizon it seems.
It is, yes. You can simply self-sign and then tell users how to bypass the security warning, which is what you're already doing so what's the problem?

It's a common misconception that macOS forces all software to be signed by Apple. It doesn't. ARM Macs require all software to be signed, but crucially, any signature is OK at the kernel level. It's only at the first-run-from-finder level that Gatekeeper gets involved. This has been true from the start and I've seen over the years scattered comments from Apple developers that they view the Mac as a true general purpose computing device, and thus have no plans to change this. The ramped up signing requirements on ARM are more to do with simplifying the core OS by ensuring all code has an identity than stopping non-Apple approved software.

If you think users should trust you despite your anonymity then you can simply point them to Apple's official documentation on how to work around Gatekeeper:

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from...

The process is straightforward if you know about it:

1. Download a self-signed or unsigned app.

2. Locate it in the finder.

3. Hold down the control key and right click it, then choose open.

4. Click open when the security alert appears.

Most people think you have to use the command line to open non-signed apps on macOS but it's not actually the case.

To self-sign an application you can generate certs using the Certificate Assistant in the Keychain Access app, or use OpenSSL from the command line. Then sign as normal. The fact that the cert doesn't come from Apple means Gatekeeper will ignore it, but, allows the app to run on ARM and ensures the OS has a stable identity it can use for assigning permissions across upgrades.

Well... unless some dev's have M1-macs, and some of the docker layers are not available for arm, or the other way around, not available for amd64. Gives interesting issues.
Shameless plug: I'm working on a project in this space (see my other comment on this post), I'd love to hear about your prefered workflow for ingesting 3d data into your editor.

Put another way, what output formats are most convenient for your use case? Are raw point clouds (XYZRGB) useful to you for eg. "prototyping volumes" or do you require meshes as a starting point? If the latter, how would you quantify how much retouching is acceptable (holes, suboptimal meshing, irregularities...) for an urban model?
I had the opposite experience, I was disappointed to see how some famous cities (Copenhagen and Rio de Janeiro) look really bad with generic buildings. Maybe it's a US vs rest of the world thing, or am I missing any setting here?

I guess we're getting into semantics here, but I would imagine someone with a net worth above a million USD would be considered to have above average wealth in a majority of countries.
I didn't read it that way. Startups live on the backs of people who either can't or don't want to work in big tech. The US in particular glorifies entrepreneurs and scrappy startups, but it's super hard and most fail.

If I thought I could pass the tech screening, and then deal with big company bureaucracy I would tomorrow. Instead, I'm a tech generalist who also doesn't mind handling business or selling, and I have a low BS tolerance. I've done ok in small companies over the second half my career, but I certainly made less than big tech.
It must have a pretty good physics engine since we don’t see any strange artifacts in the sky from the times pre-cosmic inflation. In particular, it can’t be very quantized or we’d see giant “upscaling” artifacts.

It also appears to give us exactly enough computational power to build quantum computers, but not any more than that. That seems like a pretty inconvenient choice for us and the simulators.
Okay. But wait a minute, why are you staying silent on the fact that the US is trying to contain China? Let's say China puts missles in Cuba similar to what happened during the Cuban missle crisis, and the US attacks either China or Cuba as a result. Would you then also wholly blame the US for "its own choice to engage in such a war of aggression"?

As someone who grew up when they printed your address when your photo and name appeared in the paper, and when everyone had their name, telephone, and address in the telephone book -- this seems bizarre. Are you never planning to appear at a trade show and promote your product? Hiding who you are seems cowardly, or maybe you have nefarious motives with your program. Transparency and honesty are the best policies in business and personally.
The HUGE influx of recruiters from developed countries that wanna go thru the whole recruitment process without giving me a a range of salary.

The confrontational and accusatory tone when I state my desired range and say that I got paid similar with companies in my own country (when questioned about it) when comparing apples to apples (contracting), the gaslighting and excuses of why I should get paid less than I have got with local and international companies in the past. The reasons for such aggression normally is the frustration since they have a GOOD monetary incentive to seal the deal, but does not excuse the behavior for sure. Even telemarketers are nicer than recruiters at this point.

I do attribute this to the rise in remote work. I used to rarely get contracted by a recruiter before C19 and when in the rare occasion when it happened it had a good chance of getting something out of it, now it is companies looking for super cheap labor instead of just trying to find talent.
What would be a less questionable tool then for these use cases?

I know synthesizer manufacturers that are switching over to Rust for their embedded devices, Elektron is an obvious one that comes to mind.
There is also some adaptation in the Eurorack space thanks to a lot of open source work done for stm32's, I've built a commercial Eurorack product using Rust.

Its pretty great to be honest, I think I would have a hard time going back to C/++
Is MS contributing to Omnisharp or is it an independent open source project? They can still suck its Oxygen, as it will no longer be default C# lsp and MS version will have lot more investment.
Re: your comparison, LWTs in Cassandra in 4.1 (about to release) offer global 1RT reads, and 2RT for writes. Your comparison suggests you take 3RTs? I suspect you may be moving to offering 1RT for those in the local region, and 2RT for all operations in another region?

You make a point of mentioning your MVs (and presumably your global secondary indexes) may get out of sync with the base table, which is the reason the Cassandra community decided to mark them experimental. The Cassandra community has become very conservative since it began being driven by users of the software. I should not draw any conclusions around the relative merits of features from this conservatism.

The Cassandra community paused feature development for several years, due to this very conservatism, in order to focus on delivering safety and reliability at scale. Now that's done, you can expect a lot more visible activity.
This, but with the added realization that I seem to be losing brain power and memory quite rapidly. I used to be able to contribute to intelligent conversations, but these days find myself unable to keep up with peers and elders who're still super sharp.

It's terrifying.
Ableton is just slow at developing Live. I wonder what are the reasons behind this, perhaps they want to make sure they don't stray away from the core vision (which is what made it popular) or perhaps it's stability. Or perhaps everyone is just too busy working on their own music.
I can't remember the source, however, I believe Microsoft is overstating the usage of Azure as a cloud computing platform. For example Office 365 is hosted on Azure and counted towards the cloud computing figure.

A friend of mine programs free / open source software and one of his libraries was used in a crypto scam project.

Suddenly he got accusations and threats from a person from a completely different country, because that person thought he was the brain behind the crypto scam where they lost some money. He had to take it to the police to get that person stop threatening and harass him.
It didn't melt my brain but it did cause me to scratch my head while debugging something:

1. I'm interested in the economics of this vs helicopters. Why would someone buy one? Is it cheaper? Faster? More energy efficient per mile?

2. Hydrogen fuel cells drive an electric motor, no combustion needed. Battery weight seems to be a huge factor for VTOL. Hydrogen drones can easily fly for hours for example.

Also what about safety? Helicopters can be landed even in case of power failure.
It doesn't seem at all "far off on the horizon", it used to seem far off, but seems they have people dedicated to it right now.

I have tried a bunch of these fonts and other tools. But for me zooming in, making the font bigger and/or using reading mode is the best solution for me. By making the font bigger the sentences get shorter and it easier to read.
This is all wrong, unfortunately, and that’s because it is based on a wrong premise. Experience and knowledge are two different things, and whether we are capable of experiencing certain aspects of reality or not, math is how we know things. In the areas we cannot experience directly the ability to form mathematical images and ideas can even be thought of, if you will, as an extension of our ability to “see.”
Never happened this to you? Report bot spam?

People did it for years in CSGO. Reporting players for cheating through SteamAPI and Valve didn't even validate these reports, if the account who is reporting someone, was actually in the game together.
Nope.

I've worked with MS solutions and I've worked with *nix solutions for 2 decades. I can't for the life of me understand how people choose to inflict the pain of MS on themselves in anything except "office productivity". I must admit, that's an area they have got pretty good at. .NET is horrible to work with. C# is a decent language mind you, I like the language features. It just needs a better "standard library".

Many UK citizens migrated to Portugal upon retirement. They have one of the best regimes re tax etc. for HMWI. Meanwhile, UK has inheritance taxes, high tax on pensions over £1m, etc.

Immigration rules play a major role, with certain countries offering HNWI accelerated routes to resettle.

Warning: if you haven't watched David Simon's new HBO miniseries, "We Own This City", this 15,000+ word blog post of his spoils one of the major dramatic turns. If you're a fan of The Wire, you'll probably have some liking for WOTC just for its modern day depiction of Baltimore politics and policing, though being bound by accuracy to real events makes it a much different show.

Sean Suiter is one of the main characters in WOTC. Apparently what happened to him and his detective career has been a topic of much ongoing controversy.

People are nuts. I ran a small, simple MUD (a text-based MORPG). Nothing fancy, nothing overly popular, a nice little niche group of people. Seemingly. I ran it anonymously, but there will always be somebody you know who slips something about you that will break that anonymity. The day that happened to me, a couple of disgruntled players found my Facebook account and sent messages to me and my immediate family threatening to kill us in various colorful ways.

My information is pretty locked down, but my family was less so. They started to get threatening phone calls. Very unpleasant stuff.

Anyway, that's when I learned that credit isn't worth the hassle of harassment.
A million, whether dollars or pounds, in NET wealth is being a wealthy citizen in the UK and I suspect all Western countries. It's probably far better than the top 10%.

> Hiding who you are seems cowardly, or maybe you have nefarious motives with your program. Transparency and honesty are the best policies in business and personally.

I don't understand your absolutist viewpoint here. Can you really not imagine a non-nefarious situation in which someone might not want to associate themself publicly with their work?
You're clearly trolling.

You so far called the OP of this thread (who is a member here), "rando spammer", "misguided", "naive" and "fucking idiot". Considering that that it seems even a Microsoft employee offered support to him, it seems that you're alone in your opinion. Also please take some time to self reflect that maybe those adjectives you used apply to you instead.
Tauri is such a breath of fresh air for a web developer like me! I picked up Rust because of it, and was easier than I thought (I've read lots of "Rust is hard" articles).

The application I wrote is a Hacker News client with focus on offline reading and listing comments in threads sorted by time and flat, instead of trees sorted by score (which incidentally, also works as a web application which is deployed here: https://ditzes.com/).

I found it helpful when I'm traveling but still want to read discussions, useful for following along threads that are actively being discussed (this submission can be seen at https://ditzes.com/item/31764015 for example) and also useful when using HN comments as reference to something I'm building. Guess I'm also pretty proud that the client is VERY fast, loading 1000 comments in something like 1s (because of the caching). Like this thread for the Coinbase layoffs: https://ditzes.com/item/31742590 (1001 comments)

The Tauri application currently works with 99% of the features of Ditzes, but the mouse "back" button doesn't actually navigate the internal browser back in history with Tauri yet, so I haven't done a "Show HN" yet as I consider that a essential feature of Ditzes (for following along threads via the "View" link) before "launching" it.

The Tauri-part of the source can be found here: https://codeberg.org/ditzes/ditzes/src/branch/master/src-tau...

Overall, besides the extremely long compile times, Tauri has a been a pleasure to develop with, and I'd definitively use it over Electron in the future. Really looking forward to mobile support as well, as then I'll finally have a comfortable and offline-capable HN client for my cellphone.

Would be interesting to know, whether they purely optimize for the money and jumped ship at every opportunity, or they somehow managed to make recruiters pay attention to their profile and actually read and understand anything on the profile. And if so, how they managed to make recruiters do that.

> For example, all the localisation files could live in a separate project (if we accept the need to commit them at all).

That's the wrong way to split files: it's as if you said let's split a monorepo so all the .sh files are in one repo, all the Makefiles are in another, all the .py files in yet another...

What you want is to split into "natural" repositories instead. Having 50 or 150 localisation files in an otherwise 40-file repo is not a big deal for anyone. Of course, how the split happens would have an outsized influence on the ergonomics.

Also note that localisation files are tightly linked to source code (the way they use them, similar to GNU gettext model, though they do use XLIFF): you put English strings in the source code, and when you change them (reword, fix typos, or outright change them), all translations need to get their English version updated and translations potentially needing updates marked as such. In short, they are managing their translations as source code (even if translators would be using translation tools akin to IDEs for development).

That comes across as a straw-man. The myth from the linked article is that they should maximize share price "even if this means skirting ethical rules, damaging the environment or harming employees." Agreed, this is a myth.

But nobody said they need to break the law, or hurt employees. Given the constraints of the law, they have a single mission of maximizing the share price. Which is exactly what Microsoft and other companies do every day. If the environment gets in the way of your business (i.e if you are an oil company) then you will only care about the environment to the extent that you are legally obligated to.
The other problem with "Public companies are inherently evil by default" is that saying that "the whole system is wrong", is just providing leaders with an excuse.
Public Companies can serve their customers, shareholders, and look after their employees while still being ethical, there is always a choice, and there are many positive benefits to behaving ethically, for one, it means you are a trustworthy company to deal with.
I guess it's been processed to remove gaps which makes it sound unnatural and to me as well as GP I guess, antagonizing.
