>Gamers are the most entitled consumer group I've ever seen.

Replace "gamers" with "book readers" and it should become obvious why this is not an insightful comment, but rather an expression of some kind of existential angst mixed with outdated stereotypes. Gamers ceased being a distinct consumer group when the medium of games went mainstream and ceased to heave anything resembling a coherent subculture.
I understand that the list presented there is more-so early stage proposals; its not like they've been registered to manage that DID method.

That being said; it speaks some amount to the professionalism of the authors and supporters of this spec. The sane people ask: what are the real, tangible use-cases? There's no answer. Ok, well short of that: are there are least real, tangible organizations who will be building on top of this?

Not only is the answer weak, but the meeting notes from the DID-WG indicate a high level aversion to any known, named authority participating in a significant capacity [1]. They were rather concerned about Mastercard's proposed "id" DID method, for privacy/centralization reasons, maybe those are valid but...

> Markus Sabadello: … Even if we don’t apply it, since in the past we haven’t, even then I think this registration should not be accepted as-is, because it’s incomplete..

> Manu Sporny: Just about every DID Method is incomplete… not a good criteria..

It really comes off as a bunch of people who are mad at the centralization of big tech, want to change it, but lack focus & expertise on how to implement that change. And they managed to drag W3C/TBL down to their level.

Sausage refers to it being "salted", i.e. seasoned. I can buy bulk pig sausage that is not in a casing.

The shape is "link" or "links" so I think synthetic plant-based links is fine. If it's in bulk synthetic plant-based crumble.

Calling the synthetic food the same as a natural food, is more confusing. I don't know what's what.

Make up a new word and run with it. But at least, at least don't play around with things like chik'n sausage or porki sausage. At least be honest and say plant sausage.

> or have moved to lower cost areas and will not accept a pay cut.

Why would anyone accept a pay cut if their job is remote? I get it if location based pay is used for jobs that require in person. But how can the employer have it both ways? Why would the employer want to subsidize more expensive lifestyles for a remote position?
> because humans have historically hunted and killed these large predators

I don't recall any cats in my history classes. Maybe they got their education some other way.
> I would have preferred a pixel art

Nothing wrong with a preference but online everyone bikesheds this. I heard endless complaints about Wind Waker cel shaded graphics and that was one of peoples most favorite thing about the game.

Sometimes I wonder how a site can disable or discourage bikeshedding in their comment section. It's probably impossible or needs so little traffic a moderator can handle it (1K comment per second is impossible)
how does it still exist and have money left after so many huge failures
Nope, although if you got disabled (perhaps from an accident at work) and were laid off as a result a short term disability insurance would help.
Why aren't you always keeping your resume tidy and staying ready to interview? In April 2020, when Covid hit, my company did an across the board paycut. The next week a recruiter reached out to me about a job that I really was T interested in. But we kept talking and she referred me to a job I was. I gave her my resume without any changes to it from before the pay cut announcement.

I spoke to the (internal) recruiter about my accomplishments based on a “career document” that was updated.

I did no special technical preparation for my interview loop (BigTech cloud consulting - app dev). I only practiced behavioral questions based on my career document.
A lifetime ago, I summarized the techniques of sensor detection for a stackoverflow answer, see [1].

The generic answer is every step of the acquisition/storage process can create artifacts worth analyzing statistically: lens defects, color filter array patterns, imaging sensor noise, color filter array interpolation technique, JPEG quantization coefficient varying per camera/manufacturers...

I sometimes prefer unittest too!

Pytest is very opinionated about how and when it's going to be run. If you want to put a test in say, Jupyter or a Markdown block, unittest is much more amenable to just doing what you want without having to read through documentation to break a whole bunch of magic behavior.

I can't find it now but I think a game developer wrote a while back what a game would be like if they listened to all customer feedback and it was a nightmare, it's like the homer designing a car episode of the Simpsons. I have to admit even sometimes my gut reaction to or a game or ideas would ultimately make the game too bloated / less fun.
Advice for 2023 New Grads
Hi HN,

Traditional new grad recruiting season for roles in 2023 is around the corner (August, heats up in September). With the looming (ongoing) recession we have no clue how things are going to look this year.

Do you have any advice for new grads who are looking to be graduate in this recession?
Thanks, and good shout--I updated my comment with a PDF link.
i can affirm that. was $170

Throwaway for obvious reasons...

Don't bother with Opencraft unless you are really desperate for a job. They are inches away from being a sweatshop. Compensation is a joke, and it only makes sense to work for them if you live in a place with unbelievable low cost of living. They say they "filter out candidates they can't afford". Well, it seems like all they can afford is young recent grads who don't mind working for $30/hour, pre-tax, without any benefits. And they will nick-and-dime you over the hours worked. Look at Glassdoor, you will see accounts of people who were in the "trial period" and didn't get paid at all for their work.

If you live anywhere that resembles a developed country, you can make more money by delivering food with Uber than writing code. And it will be less stressful too, because you won't have to deal with their shitty codebase.
You don't get to decide that religious values are good or bad.

Minus Montana, every state is at-will employment of some sort or another. And, I think Montana may even have it in some form now.

> And companies with strong employee unions do not have this issue of suddenly and without notice firing their staff...

Lots of people don't work at a place with a union, and don't have access to unionized employment due to industry, current geography, etc. Also we're seeing a huge anti-union push by a lot of interests right now, recently notable being Starbucks.
The 386 segmentation system exists above the paging portion of the MMU, so it is possible to move them around without physically copying memory (or adjusting the segment+offset).

Because of the chance of a leak. It's so much better to destroy it than risk it leaking again. The newest refrigerant is many times less harmful to the environment if it leaks.
This is a useful business that only exists because of carbon credits.

I winced a bit at their attacks on low quality carbon credits because the very idea has been under sustained attack by climate change deniers for decades.

Oh, rich people just paying money for carbon credits and still flying around the world, that's not real it's all fake, like climate change.

Obviously some are better than others, but the concept itself is useful and worth fighting to improve, not write off.
Well, the exploitation of "natural resources" (i.e. environment destruction) happens mostly in Sumatra, Papua, and Borneo and is the major economic driver :/
And in particular, many of the failures were from lack of proper operation, such as keeping the system on far too long, causing timer overflows.

It’s called “living below your means and saving money”. No matter where you are in the US, as software engineers you are probably making well above the median income for your location. You should be able to save an emergency fund.
That's the wrong thinking. During the BLM protests, there were almost certainly people who went too far, or took advantage of the chaos to create mayhem. They were not plants by the conservative right, it's just a natural thing that happens, people are unreliable like that.

During the HK protests, I can imagine the same thing happening. Actually, in only a few cases where a strong leader and organization is involved (MLK, Gandhi, etc...) can protests be largely peaceful and more effective (not giving the other side an excuse to crackdown without losing face, and even these movements weren't perfect).
Something I’ve increasingly felt is that nobody should feel like they’re under any obligation to read comments on what they do or replies to what they say. In the days before the internet the options for direct feedback to an author or creator were limited and often the author or creator could or would just ignore them. It was considered a good idea! Now people have things like forums for their games or comments on their articles and for some reason I don’t understand feel compelled to engage with them. They shouldn’t. It’s okay to just make what you want to make or write what you want to write and ignore any and all response to it. If your works are valuable and enjoyed then great, if not so be it. But subjecting yourself to the most obsessive and neurotic segment of your audience is just a recipe for misery. There’s little to no benefit to it. You don’t owe anything to anyone.
> There are no migrant groups workers who depend on Bitcoin as a means of banking,

There's more to economic participation than just banking (even assuming that what you wrote wasn't a blatant falsehood).

> Migrant workers use of innumerable financial services offered to them by banks at home, in their country of work, or one of the myriad of financial services apps made available to them via app stores etc..

Previously, yes, with predatory fees that make even Bitcoin (let alone any of the umpteen million iterations on its design) affordable by comparison. The working poor lack the bargaining power to meaningfully demand fair treatment from the legacy financial system; for them, a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin provides that fairness.
High voltage is not inherently dangerous. In a dry climate you can easily develop ten thousand volts by lying down in a bed without bedsprings with a long acrylic blanket and pulling the blanket over your head hair with your feet. You can get multiple-centimeter-long branching sparks of static electricity from your finger. The only danger of the activity (to you) is that you might produce enough ozone to irritate your lungs. But the energy of those sparks is limited by your body's capacitance to the blanket.

If you do this in a vacuum you could get X-rays, and if you do it near your cellphone or laptop you can kill them. But it's not dangerous to your body.

However, high voltage with enough power behind it to burn a Lichtenberg figure through your body can kill you pretty darn quick.
> you run a site, GA will give you IP, location, etc. for inbound traffic, but I didn't think they would give you data on other users.

This is not “provided” by Google. It’s normal web server traffic data, collected by Google Analytics instead of your own scripting.
It was actually a case with X11 too... it took some time to converge on XFree86, or what became X.org eventually. Yes, it is annoying, I agree, but it will get better.
Surely the magnetron itself is an electronic device.
Same here. This week, I made an overview of my cashflow, should my current client no longer need me. I’ll be fine but still these layoff news items are worrying me.
What's being measured- is the Y axis # of jobs?
I guess the point of the parent comment is that the real issue is not whether this is a anti American or pro Russia thing, but that Google's privacy practices are bad. Any government/institution doing the same would be bad, but the discussion tends to focus on whoever the public enemy currently is.
> reunification

Unification. You can’t reunify something that wasn’t once unified.

But in any case China screwed that up because the world and Taiwan have seen what China has done and is doing and Taiwan doesn’t want any part of it.
> If you guys do archiving, stop spamming HN with links that are fresh and don't need archiving

Just because a link is fresh, does not mean that it does not need archiving.

If that link is a news article that is then taken offline, or changed, it will trivially be forgotten like it never existed, and you will have no evidence to prove that ever happened.

And it very much does happen, the www of the year 2022 has gotten scarily good in forgetting and burying stuff trough SEO and delisting.
I’m left scratching my head at most of your examples. Got any citations?
> So this is why sich older chips could still be advantageous

Yup. I just found myself having to buffer an ESP32's output with an LS245!! because the old-school LED display I needed to drive required more current on its logic inputs than the ESP could source. An AVR would have driven it just fine.

And before anyone asked why I used a 74LS245 instead of a more appropriate level converter, I had to go with what's in stock these days and this design will have at most 3 units built.
SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract, Remote, Tennessee, U.S. (Central Time)

I'm a full-stack JavaScript developer and UI designer. I run https://cheatcode.co, working primarily with my own framework, Joystick (https://github.com/cheatcode/joystick), as well as React.js, GraphQL, and Node.js (open to others as well).

Looking for short-term freelance and contract opportunities (long-term is possible, too, if the timing makes sense). Best suited for working with small teams—startups/standalone or embedded in bigger co's—and individuals looking to ship:

- Full-stack web apps (internal or customer-facing).

- UI implementation (HTML, CSS, any JS framework)

- Command line tools

- REST APIs (private and public) -- can do GraphQL APIs on request

- Technical documentation

- Infrastructure/deployment setup (Bare metal, Docker/k8s, Lambda)

My working style:

- Communication-heavy. I prefer clients/projects that don't shy away from investing in getting everything on the table up front and keeping communication tight throughout a project. 1-on-1 via Zoom/Discord preferred for clarity/avoiding miscommunication.

- Detail-oriented. If it needs (or you want it) to be done well, I'm your guy.

- Design-focused. I put an emphasis on UX (or DX if the project is for devs) and ensuring that what gets shipped is most likely to generate a ROI for you/your team.

Exactly this, recruiter messages volume might actually increase because they also know companies are tightening and so they need to lock in those placements asap before roles dry up outright.

A bit of my job ends up being a hiring management and the amount of recruitment agencies that want to send developers our way increased a lot. They are getting desperate.
I wouldn’t say it’s a huge success because South Korea and the United States are still spending a lot to keep others away from interfering with their Democracy. Without huge military spending, cybersecurity, and education, it can quickly get influenced by China or attacked by North Korea.

And this is the other side of the coin. I personally wouldn’t want the tradeoff of lacking flexibility to leave.
Way to undersell Europe. Yes, we're a bit lower on global tech innovation. Much of our tech innovation is region specific, which should make it obvious why one, the US won't see much of it, and two, the markets aren't there for VCs to just throw money at it. There are legal and social reasons why they don't target the global market more, too.

>You don’t think any of that has to do with the employment contract?

The Netherlands has a legal notice period of 1 month baseline. Despite that, many companies opt for a longer employee notice period, which then requires them to double that amount from their side. Doesn't sound like the employment contract is at fault here as much as the risk-averse culture, when nothing is keeping these companies from keeping the notice period shorter. Surely, a talented developer does not have to worry about finding a new job so much it requires more than a month.

God forbid I mention Japan, which despite still using fax machines and having similar structures, still produces plenty of global products. Unless your idea of tech is "just software".

It's not as simple as you try to imply. Spend a bit more time doing research between what is legally required, what employers offer and what developers realistically need.

Hey, I am the founder and developer behind Taddy.

Taddy’s Podcast API helps anyone build a great podcast app. To give some context on why this is helpful, 4 years ago I built Podyssey Podcasts ([https://podyssey.fm](https://podyssey.fm/)) and it would have saved me a lot of time if Taddy had existed at that time. What is unique about podcasts is that no one company owns podcasts. in fact, anyone can build their own podcast feed, all you have to do is output an RSS feed in a certain format. Here are some of the things Taddy’s API can help you with:

1) Since, anyone can create their own RSS feed, that means these feeds can be inconsistent or messy. We’ve taken the time (and have the experience) to deal with edge cases for bad or missing data. 2) There are 2 million podcasts which may update at any time, but your users want to know right away when there is a newly released episode. We sent you a event through a webhook when new episodes are released, so you can update your app or notify your users about the new episode. 3) Fast search through all 2 million podcasts & 60 million episodes.

There are alternatives to Taddy’s API like Listen Notes, the PodcastIndex and Apple’s iTunes API. I wrote a quick summary on the key difference here: [https://taddy.org/blog/best-podcast-api-tools](https://taddy...

Lastly, there is a bigger idea that i am working towards. I really believe in the idea of feeds to power different types of content other than podcasts. Taddy is starting with a Podcast API, but I will be launching a Comics API and a Music API within the next year. They will all be powered by open standard feeds (just like podcasts), so anyone can easily build a comic or music app based on them.
Insurers make a double profit by charging management fees and by mispricing the longevity risk which essentially means that those dying earlier generate excess profits for the insurer.

In a tontine, those dying earlier generate excess income for the retirees. It's explained here: https://tontine.com/explainer
I had to reject the K860 because of its builtin number-pad. Part of the value of the Sculpt is that it's narrow without the number pad, meaning I can fit it on my keyboard tray with room for a mouse or trackpad.
Yes, but lots of things are dangerous. This is mitigated through awareness and mitigation of risk.
Seashore 3.0
If one didn't have the attitude I mentioned the company will go under from employees leaving. You missed the point.
Socialization is important, on that we agree. Socialization at school is not always positive or even effective. There are many ways to socialize and jamming people of the same age in a room for 6-7 hours at a time is far less effective, in my opinion, than being part of extracurricular programs, clubs, etc that often mingle kids of different ages, backgrounds, neighbourhoods, and cultures far better than any school.

I found that school is an effective way for people to be pigeonholed with labels and expectations that make it more difficult for people to explore and change. Once labelled the class clown, or the athlete, or the brainiac, or whatever, it is very hard to do or try other things so long as you are in a fixed environment. This is why, in my opinion, going to college or university is such a profound life event for people - suddenly new environments and opportunities to explore being something other than your fixed adolescent self.
