There are typically two valuations of private companies. The "internal valuation" is usually the valuation of the common shares (ie, those that are granted to employees) whereas the "external valuation" is the value of the "preferred" shares that investors purchase. The external/preferred valuation is usually higher because the preferred shares have more attractive terms (such as that you get your money back first before other equity holders are paid out).

From the article: "A 409A valuation is an independent estimate of a startup’s fair market value often used to price stock options to employees."
Indeed with the GSI's etc you can implement a priority queue or store data in the order you want etc. Once you are clear on the access patterns of your app DynamoDB is amazing to model for and will scale with your app. But if you are not clear about your app's access patterns or need adhoc queries, then dynamoDB is not a good fit.
In the same vein, I believe John Carmack used a NeXTStation to develop Doom for the PC[1].

Matthew Smith also used a TRS-80 model III to develop Jet Set Willy for the ZX Spectrum.

The reasons for current inflation seem to be complex.

I'm willing to believe part of the reason is higher wages, as it does seem that there have been some (fairly minor) real gains over the past several months.

But it's also quite clear that the increased oil prices are affecting the prices of goods and services across the board.

And I've seen a number of reports of companies posting record profits and raising prices—which indicates that they're not raising prices because they have to, but because "oh, it's inflation, we have no choice" is a convenient cover for them to increase their margins.

More importantly, the concern at hand is recessions, not inflation, and the comment I replied to was specifically noting the fact that there had been several significant recessions in recent years. It was the apparent fragility of our economy recently that I was attributing to the drastically increased income inequality, not inflation specifically.
Many cities are experiencing asset price bubbles far beyond the rental price increases (driven by central banks). But NYC rental prices are actually rising rapidly. It’s quite a different situation
Maybe but most people complain about staged stuff for not being "real."
I grew up in Indianapolis, where the violent crime rate is 8.7 per 1000. Growing up, we had plenty of trips to Columbus, OH (16.6), Detroit, MI (21.8), Cincinnati, OH (8.9), and, yes, Chicago, IL (9.9).

Granted, sometimes we'd visit smaller, safer college towns, like Purdue's Lafayette Indiana University's Bloomington, or Ball State's Muncie, IN. Only Muncie had a lower crime rate than NYC. Then again, Notre Dame's South Bend (17.3) University of Evansville (10.1), and Rose-Hulman's Terre Haute (14.6) kind of dispelled the idea of college town safefy.

My current town is at 36 violent crime per 1000 residents, but the statistics are collected differently, so it may not be an exact comparison.

NYC isn't safer than the majority of the country. But, compared to where I've been, it's felt pretty safe every time I stopped by.
If you are going to have casino monitization, it is still better to consider it earlier than try to bolt it on at the very end.
I'd say Haskell didn't reinvent statements so much as it just modeled them. That allows manipulating them before they are interpreted, which is a good thing generally.
The cause is not mysterious. Residential rental property is the newest private equity scam. [0] When the capitalist who has inserted himself into your life wants more money, your life becomes more expensive. This is called "inflation". Fools and charlatans claim the Fed can control this.

Do you think Blender overcame this challenge, or is it still a sticking point in the VFX industry? I know they're at very different levels of maturity but I'm curious if the open projects ended up helping with ironing out these kinks.
I've had the inversion of this occur, when I've been obviously talking to an impersonator working out of China. They always push for a Zoom call. The video is extremely dark. They lie about their location. It's maddening. Even for direct hire, I had two candidates send in resumes with the same avatar, but with the image mirrored. And it was still a resume with an Asian name! And an Asian-featured person! Why would they even bother at that point??

We had a specific project that required hardware to be shipped to the vendor, and required it to be in the US, and people would just lie, openly, as if when the time comes to ship the hardware to them I'm not going to notice it's going to China or a reshipper.
It's so upsetting to hear my friend's stories on apartment hunting recently. I had someone raise their expectations by 1k in their budget where they would barely break even financially, and still couldn't find a 2 bedroom apartment in the Williamsburg area. I got very lucky getting a "Covid Deal" in the summer of 2020, because anyone who moved here/moved around since the fall of last year I've heard nothing but chaos :(

If you or your friends are mechanical engineers, we're looking for great meche's with experience in thermal, fluids, combustion, ag processing and more. Would love to chat: https://charmindustrial.com/team or email in my profile.
They're all great and have something that the other two don't/can't have. I could go on for hours about each. Also this is a very personal/subjective question, so take with a grain of salt:

Toronto: It's Canada. Culture is different than the US. My friends and family are here. Since it's where I formed my personality, I like the people here way more. It's the only place I experience uncontrollable laughter in reaction to what someone said. The inner city is very cool without feeling like some over-discovered instagram location. In NYC every half decent bar or restaurant is packed with a lineup and costs 2x.
Transit is okay, not great.
But I hate Canadian suburbs, so to me the GTA is not hospitable (for me) outside of the rectangle of Humber river to Don Valley, waterfront to Eglinton. And income to cost of living ratio is so much lower compared to tech in the US, it's like.. minimum 10+ years of working life lower.

Seattle: A true gem of a place. Not overcrowded (yet, despite what people there say). Great music, bars, restaurants etc. You can get from middle of "city" to middle of wilderness in 1.5-2h, and be literally in a national geographic photo. Insane income:cost of living ratio (only slightly lower income than Bay/NYC, but cost of living significantly less).
Transit okay, getting better, but not too useful inside the city.
But it's a very monocultural place. So unless you find your "people" here, it can be quite boring/exclusive. I fraternized widely, but ultimately was left wanting for more socially. Also far-left politics are central to social culture here, so it's quite literally not a "safe space" to be anything but. I'm more of an "east-cost person", if that makes any sense.

NYC: One of a kind place in North America. Feels like you truly live _in_ the city, not just in your house/apartment with necessary excursions. It can be overwhelming with how many people there are and how densely they live, but to me that's something special. Cost of living is insane, but it doesn't buy you nothing. Subway system can feel archaic and let's you down often, but it also enables a special way of life for North America (car-less existence, a fixed 30 or 50 min ride from almost anywhere you'd need to go). A lot of double edged swords. The diversity of people is eye-opening. Toronto can feel more ethnically diverse - which is interesting in it's own way - but NYC is diverse in every other way too.
I'm quite worried about having kids in NYC someday. From what I hear the school system is ruthless. I don't want my kids to undergo such stress. I think Toronto wins out huge for raising children.

Anyway.. bit of a ramble.

Show HN: Old News – News that gets better the *less* you read it
I’ve always wanted a news app designed for people who don’t stay up-to-date daily. That pays attention to when I check-in and what stories I’m aware of and adapts to me. You see, I’m not a good “follower” of the news, and I “catch-up” fairly infrequently. When I do, I want to see the most important things I’ve missed in the meantime, not today’s top stories. I’d like to emerge from my metaphorical cave after a week, a month, or longer, and quickly see what I missed.

That’s Old News. I built it for myself, but if you’re like me (statistically, you probably aren’t!) you may like it too. It is quite simple. Swipe to see recommended Hacker News stories and the app keeps track of what you’ve seen. When you come back you’ll see the top stories you haven’t seen yet, with a slow exponential decay of the score over time (a big story from yesterday is still more interesting than one from last month). In the future, I’d love to explore making that decay rate user-configurable so that you can decide how much you prefer newer vs. older news.

Interesting for discussion, the app truly does get more useful the less you use it. If you check Hacker News daily, this probably won’t be useful at all! If you are like me, though, value per time used is super high. I’m really keen on this as a concept, and I think it’s worth more developers exploring it. Sure, it’s not great for “engagement” numbers, but I suspect there is a big latent demand for software that actively encourages us to use it less.

Caveats:
- iPhone only (sorry!)
- Probably missing features you consider “essential” for a news app (I like simple!)
- No business model, just free hobby software

What you said actually sounds pretty similar to what I can imagine was said 'back in the day' when compilers were first developed and languages like C were invented.

> Trying to solve the lack of progress in unifying computer architectures needs to be the next step in computer science. I just don't understand how or why it needs to be polluted by the unnecessary added hidden complexity of GCC. You're just shifting your assembly language generation into a black box and its magic output.

(I don't actually know how to write assembly, so pardon any technical faux pas. But the comparison seemed apt. ML as an intent->code compiler just seems like an inevitable step forward.)
I'm glad the title was changed from "creators" to "gamedevs".
I an think of lots of famous creators who didn't concern themselves with "monetization"
You and everyone else buddy, that's why you're going to be priced out just like the people before you.

It's nice you enjoyed your ride from $2,000/month to $5,000/month. That range was absurd to the people that went through an earlier range, and so on and so forth.
Stitch Fix's Machine Learning Platform
I agree. Part of the motivation for this post is that I've been doing triage on a maimed branch that got incorrectly squashed.

That being said, the workflow for this project is unlikely to change. And, to be fair, the workflow has its benefits. The project history is very clean, PR code reviews are straightforward, etc.
No, "diacritics don't kill people, people kill people" is not an important life lesson. It is a reductive just-so generalization of basic common sense that obscures more than it enlightens.

The important thing for engineers to note is a technical shortcoming caused a tragic misunderstanding. Focusing instead on the well-known fact that some people have poor impulse control, knowing full well that is a non-controllable input, instead makes an excuse for poor engineering and implicitly expresses powerlessness to do anything about the problem.
I think the difference though, is what you're saying is "think about what your audience wants and how to tell them you're providing it" which is perfectly sensible, versus what "monetization" is generally referring to, which is "make your gameplay funnel people into buying things outside the initial purchase/download"

Following 3-2-1 backups is definitely recommended, and if you have a good NAS setup, it can be pretty easy, even with encrypted backups.

My NAS runs TrueNAS Scale. Any data I need to keep around long term goes into a personal share. I have restic installed on the NAS, with a USB drive hosting the repository for it connected to the NAS. At this point, copy may or may not exist on my personal computer, does exist in the personal share, and is copied to an encrypted backup repo locally. Finally, there's a sync job pushing the encrypted restic repo to Wasabi. I only follow 3-2-1 on things that need it, so things like my media library aren't part of it (I can just rebuild this stuff). At less than 1 TB, Wasabi can be pretty cheap.

In terms of documents, though, I tend to use tools like LibreOffice rather than cloud office tools. Having real documents that I can include in my 3-2-1 backups, as well as being able to share, is convenient and useful. Maybe not the best for collaboration, but that's easily worked around.

I still work with cloud office documents from time to time, as documents shared to me, not vice versa. If it's something important that I need to keep a copy of, I export it.

good side of current supply chain issues is this encourages hardware manufacturers to make the transition away from using domain specific computer chips and to instead rewrite that logic purely in software to get executed in today's super fast super efficient CPU/GPU ... decades ago it made sense to design hardware to do the compute yet today that strategy is more costly and risky ... and yes software is eating the world and where it isn't it will be so make this jump now

If you are going to have it, still better to consider implementation and mechanics early, opposed to try to bolt it on to a mostly finished game. I would agree that intentionally planning to do the latter is idiotic.
> Let me ask you another question. What do people do who are not happy with the housing provided by the govt in Vienna?

Rent from another landlord mostly. Vienna has close to two million people (give or take some), however only around 500.000 of those live in buildings owned by the city [0]. Those are 1800 buildings by the way, definitely a lot but not unbelievably massive.

Compared to some private companies, such as Vonovia the city of Vienna is just another big player, but by no means massive enough to actually be a monopoly or anything.

It is true that they of course hold a lot of the supply in Vienna itself, housing a quarter of the population, but that still leaves three quarters not living in any of those buildings. It's easy enough to not live in apartments owned by the city if you don't want to.

I never stated that they were correct or made any comment on the substance of the original post. I criticized the criticism as being poorly formed

Asking the original poster for clarification of terms would be the move before assuming something
I mean, Watts are a unit. All of the things you are saying are important considerations when discussing the factory's pattern of output, but ultimately, as you point out, it is still valid to measure the average output in Watts, which is the point that is being made, that that's the dimension that quantity has; you can still write down an equation of dimensioned quantities even if real-world complications mean that the equation is not as meaningful as one would like!
Philly is also probably the closest approximation to NYC in this way. Most other cities in the US are so segregated that wealthier neighborhoods feel like suburbs (looking at DC and Boston here).
I think you missed the point I was making
Oh my, what a surprise, absolutely no-one saw that coming......
> They share similarity, but they are still seen as two separate categories of software

Malware isn't really a uniform category of software. They can be harmful in a lot of different ways. Something like a kernel level anti-cheat is malware in almost every sense of the name except the developer's promise that it's not doing anything nasty. And there's a long list of DRM that affects the performance, security, or stability of the system while most users aren't aware this is happening or why. They install a game, everything else that comes with it is realistically hidden just like any malware.

So while you could group them in different categories, many forms of DRM are malware in form and function.
I don't agree with being generally safer but NYC is pretty safe. The United States is pretty safe. A lot of the world is pretty safe.

In terms of homicides though the US is less safe than Pakistan, India, Iran and Egpyt and other big countries.

I confess that it’s been years since I used WinDbg. It was quite bare bones back then.

A good way to get rid of excess nutrients is to pick a water plant with ridiculous growth rates (for example, duckweed), harvest and compost it for use in agriculture. Compost will certainly remain in agricultural fields longer than chemical fertilizers do.

You're not going to have any more luck reasoning with them than a black person would have trying to reason with a klan member. If you've decided you hate people because of the color of their skin, no online discourse is going to change your mind.
You can already introduce in-game ads and payments with or without Unity's help. I understood the article as describing some sort of auto-detection feature that suggests where money-making hooks can be introduced - sort of how Youtube supposedly suggests to content-makers where would be a good spot to insert an ad break in the video.
As someone who uses Unity professionally to make a 2D game, here are some key areas I find godot lacking vs unity:

- Scalable text support a la TextMeshPro (sdf-based rendering)

- the in-editor console is horrible. it frequently tells me "output overflow, print less text!". wtf? also, it doesn't let me click on a line to jump to the code

- the built-in tile editor is very painful in my experience. the UI is clunky and it's lacking important features I depend on in Unity, like tile rules.

- the built-in text editor is _very_ basic, and support for external editors is limited vs Unity (and hampered by lack of mature tooling for gdscript vs C#)

- gdscript's heavy reliance on "magic" strings and lack of type-safety throughout

- unity's UI system sucks, but it's still more capable than Godot's especially for things
> a huge win for the developer community

> allows us to write even less code and care about fewer implementation details

Remember Bjarne Stroustrup: “I Did It For You All…”? More code, more complexity — more job security.
In the early days of computers some character systems were stroke-based because that used less memory than a 32x32 bit map. A kilobit of ROM (one character) could cost $10.

Currently stroke-based systems are used for calligraphic effect. You could generate new font types, e.g. bold., but controlling the shape of strokes.

Stroke systems are important for teaching character writing because the drawing order is rigorously prescribed. Once you learn the first couple hundred, you can pretty much guess future characters. Wrong order characters often look bad and suggest a non-Chinese speaker mis-copied them. (e.g. some tattoos)
Lying in a privacy policy and breaching privacy-related regulations can also be fraud and illegal. Think about why there's so much pushback against the GDPR despite it only primarily mandating transparency with regards to data usage (if they were doing things above-board why would they be afraid?).
