You need to have a business model, and the model needs to be complementary to what you are building. The pushback isn't to that, the pushback is when the business model is predatory, and drives the design.

What part of SQL requires not having to design a data model? What exactly do you mean by that?

And technically all relational databases are relational layers on top of a key/value subsystem. Splitting that apart and scaling the storage is how most of the NewSQL databases scale , from CRDB to Yugabyte to Neon.

On one side you have megacorps gathering personal data of millions of europeans daily, even very private data, and EU is bothering with choosing default browsers, a thing that can be mitigated literally by just opening IE, typing "mozilla.org" in the url bar and pressing enter.

So what if integrated batteries occupy less space, so do proprietary charge ports, and we used to have waterproof phones even with removable batteries (atleast a few samsungs could do both, back in the time). Replace the glued on back panel with a screwed in glass panel and a rubber gasket, and your 2year old phone will be given a new life in five minutes, compared to literally >100eur service job, making it usually not worth the replacement. I have no idea why your shitty camera has to do with newer phones being glued back together instead of scewed together.

And yes, i'll stand my ground with batteries, because the battery is the only part of your phone that's guaranteed to fail with time, and with phone prices nearing 1k eur, not having easily replacable batteries is just another thing companies do to screw the user. I'd also mention headphone jacks, but some hipsters "assure" me that their mini bluetooth pods or whatever are comparable or better to wired high quality headphones.

Pkrein, I see you posting here. I've got 200 acres of forest in Washington State and I'm long term interested in providing biomass for carbon sequestration, what can I be doing now to connect with companies like yours to help ensure those 200 acres are as carbon negative as possible?
What about Manhattan? What about lower Manhattan? The reality is that NYC is large and there's bodies of water separating huge parts of the city. Talking about crime in NYC seems really silly because you're going to be talking about tons of neighborhoods that you're just never, ever going to end up even close to.

I've been playing a bit with WebkitGTK for my own development and found the same thing—I was learning how to use SVG and was getting really confused about how transform-origin was supposed to work... then I tried the same SVG in Firefox and Chrome and realized that my understanding was correct and it was WebkitGTK that, for whatever reason, didn't handle it correctly. Even over a relatively short time I ran into a number of CSS, SVG and DOM manipulation behavior that WebkitGTK seems to handle incorrectly.
That sounds terrible, however, it's important to remember that diacritics don't get people killed, the person who decides to kill ultimately needs to stop themselves.

Yeah, HK is (or was) way better than SG, and much more NY-like. Even more beautiful than NY, actually. HK's inevitable destruction by the CCP is a fucking tragedy. There are very few cities in the world like that.
I’m not convinced.

Here’s my theory for explaining the lack of strategy in many organizations: Many people are incapable of thinking into the future and imagining the possible outcomes of various courses of action. The let’s-just-take-it-2-weeks-at-a-time-and-see-how-it-goes process known as “agile” has let these people assume positions of power. If you try and switch back to a more long-term strategic working model they will fight tooth and nail for their positions, which they understand they are not competent to hold if seeing more than 2 weeks into the future is part of the job description.

Rent has to match supply/demand. If demand goes up, prices go up, some existing tenants are priced out. The only sinister thing in US housing is communities making it difficult to build more. In my corner of NYC one could build housing for thousands of people.
Human beings possess empathy and a desire to help the less fortunate entirely apart from religion or its rewards. From a purely utilitarian standpoint, one could argue that the reward of altruistic behavior within a social hierarchy is the strengthening of social bonds and likelihood of reciprocity, and this behavior has been seen in other primate species besides humans, suggesting it has an evolutionary benefit. Unfortunately, thousands of years of religious indoctrination has led many people to believe that humans are essentially amoral sociopaths without religion. But religion doesn't generate morality, ethics or virtue so much as codify them into a culturally specific framework.

That said, Jesus commanded his followers to practice charity often and directly linked doing so with gaining rewards in heaven.
Interesting, where are those rentals coming from? Is it just an overall drop in demand for any housing?

Intuitively to me, if you make one thing harder to do (buy a house), unless people disappear or you suddenly build more rentals, they go in the other direction and create more strain there (renting).

Where are these people living if they can't buy but are renting less? Are both demands are dropping?

Go refusing to make structs in maps mutable since 2012
I've recently asked if it's time to revisit the decision to make structs in maps in Go mutable, and was politely declined, with a reference to this being a refusted proposal since 2012:

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/53857

Since arrays work fine, if a is a slice or an array:

a[10].field = 42

it seems bogus that maps don't; this doesn't compile in Go if m is a map:

m[10].field = 42

In both cases, the address of the struct is calculated at runtime, as it must be known to access the field.

Instead of leaving this as a rant, let's make it a question: what's your "what is this insanity?" peeve with your favourite language?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you can't be up-front about what you're going to pay a person for doing a job and offer the same to everybody, that's a red flag and it tells me you're looking to screw somebody. Tells me everything I need to know about you right there, and that's an instant hard-pass.

Those are very fair points, and I agree.

For me personally, authenticity is more about choosing to speak vs. laying low on certain topics.

Sure you can still lie when you speak to it, but at least you're being truthful on your desire to express.
For quite a few years I looked into similar processes based fundamentally on biological photosynthesis, for example algal pool farms and similar approaches to generating hydrocarbons from biomass.

At present, I think direct air capture of CO2 followed by reduction to methane and longer hydrocarbons using water-sourced H2 (all without going through the biological photosynthesis) is going to be the long-term winning technology. One main reason is control of the chemistry is a lot easier when you start with uniform small molecules (CO2 and H2) rather than trying to distill off and separate the products of pyrolysis of biomaterials (or even of crude fossil oil distillation and cracking, a similar process).

This isn't to say that if you have a completely renewable energy based power system, that converting agricultural byproducts to useful materials like biomethane, biooil and fertilizer (phosphorous recovery in particular) isn't going to be a plausible approach in specific situations, and the resulting products could have niche markets.

Now, if your goal is to remove CO2 permanently from the atmosphere, that's more difficult. Making materials like limestone (CaCO3) or perhaps carbon fiber is a better idea for that. Bricks of diamond would be even better, but that's a bit more sci-fi still - but possible. Air-captured diamonds would be a cool product.

I recently sold my collection of video games and video game consoles I collected since a kid. Many of those things were worth a pretty penny and also gave someone else the enjoyment that I already had experienced.

While I could save them for my kids or play them on a rainy day, I decided to make peace with getting rid of them and I haven't looked back since. I used to consider myself a low-key hoarder and this was one of the tendencies of keeping stuff I never would use.
This would be great advice... If it weren't for the fact that Unity is mainly used by small to medium size studios (yes, they do have 50% market share), while in-house, Unreal and some other well known engines, rule the AAA market.

It's the AAA studios and publishers who can afford the bad PR that comes with exploiting your audience, by throwing exorbitant amounts of money at marketing.

Meanwhile, the indie studios can't afford that, and relay on word of mouth, streamers/YTubers, luck, and just plain simply being a good product. Exploiting your audience is a great way to burn bridges that you don't have the resources to repair by fanning the media monster into hyping your next title.

>.. So how do we get it that simple on Linux? I believe the answer is to find someone with enough free time to figure out how to use SECCOMP BPF to implement pledge.

> There's been a few devs in the past who've tried this. I'm not going to name names, because most of these projects were never completed.

I guess I am also one of those. I am giving it a shot with my WIP sandboxing library, which aims at making sandboxing easier for applications in general: https://github.com/quitesimpleorg/exile.h. It also aims to fix the "file system blind spot" mentioned in the article, by using Landlock and Namespaces/chroot.

Though I am calling my attempt "vows" instead of "pledge" to avoid misunderstandings. At the the end of the day, pledge() cannot be pledge() on Linux, due to limitations which the article also mentions.

Nevertheless, as has already been mentioned in this thread, as all attempts, mine also suffers from the fact that one has to keep up constantly with kernel releases and all software must recompiled from time to time against new library releases. This is a suboptimal situation. Secondly, there systems calls with currently cannot be filtered with seccomp BPF, such as openat2() and clone3() and so on.

Therefore, at this time you cannot have pledge() on Linux properly. So I am putting it on hold until deep argument inspection lands.

Overall, my experience led me to believe in order to have true, partical pledge() on Linux, it must be implemented in the kernel ultimately.
I think that overall crime rates can have severely skewed reporting. Homicide rate in NYC is 5.5 vs US average of 7.5, But manhattan's is even lower. The last time the city reported the borough by borough breakdown (2019), had a homicide rate of 3.2.
The problem with that would be that every software must know the intricate rules about combining glyphs, and if they guess wrong, users get garbage characters.

Considering that the majority of code is written by people who don't know Chinese characters, it would result in never-ending issues, pretty much everywhere.

Korean actually has a two-way system in Unicode. Every conceivable character (= syllable) possible in modern Korean has its own codepoint, which allows most software to display them correctly: from their point of view, it's just another CJK character.

On the other hand, there is a Unicode area containing Korean sub-blocks ("jamo") that were used historically. In theory, you can combine them and get some pretty funky archaic syllables. Almost no software renders them right.
Hmm, im on mobile now but I believe it's called non-tradeable goods in english.

Hopefully I'm not putting words into their mouth, but the implication here is that those people are idiots because they're not making as much money as they could be by using the techniques he believes in. The second implication is that they are doing this unknowingly. That's a pretty naive outlook. Some people are either not in it for money, or don't care about the money more than they care about the integrity of their product and experience of their customers.
it makes total sense you park your money in an asset that will increase in value over time. you don't need to actively use it.

100x is shocking, so I explored a bit. Over 2010-2020 Amherst PD reported ~5 violent crimes per year[1], in a town of ~10000, or about 50 per 100000. NYPD reported ~49k per year over the same period[ibid], on about 8.3m residents, or about about 590 per 100000. So about 11x difference in per-capita reported-to-local-PD crime.

I'll admit I'm surprised it's still an order of magnitude, I share GP's sensibility that the cities are generally much safer than perceived

They appear in daily newspapers (including the San Francisco Chronicle). Here's an example.

But there's dozens of solutions. I understand a computer could eventually calculate them all. My question is how everyday newspaper readers can solve them with just a pen and paper.

The totals for the rows still leave many, many possibilities. Is the idea to just start trying numbers, and then backtracking again and again, until eventually you stumble on a winning path?

Best we can do is certainly not increase the cost of land, and thus increase the required price of rent/housing to break even.

Less regulatory obstacles to increase supply, i.e. build housing, is the correct answer.

Tips how to understand search on smart folders? or terminal's mdfind command?
I am frustrated with doing file searches on MacOS. I used to love mdfind. It was so fast and gave me hits on everything no matter where I was in a directory. Parts of filename, or something in the file would show up on mdfind. Now it's like not giving a search. I copied the exact filename and not a hit. I tried using the regular smart folder setting it to show recent images created, modified, and opened. Fiddled around with that after changing it to 2 days I got two results. But there should be three! And even when I put down 1 day it would not show up even when it was created "Today" it should have shown up in search. The search function is totally obfuscated and I'm at loss to figure out a reliable search method for this computer. MacOS running 11.3.1
Even from a reductionist and materialist "this game with microtransactions gives me the dopamine hits when I buy stuff" with no other considerations, I know how to get the dopamine hits for much cheaper than hundreds of dollars, and not gated behind microtransactions.

Unity is already an ad company
'Monetisation' as used in modern days refers exclusively to abusive tactics, or so it seems. Figuring out what you can sell your game for is just 'figuring out what you can sell your game for'.

Does Unity take a cut of any microtransactions run through their ecosystem?
> AAA's average new car TCO is close to $10,000 a year. Multiply by two for a typical couple and that's $1600 a month you could dump into your NYC apartment's high rent.

First, you can get by just fine without a new car. My car was $26k new - 18 years ago. I’ve put another $10k over the years in maintenance (tires, oil, repairs). Insurance is $500/year. Gas is maybe $2k/year at $4/gal. Not even close to $10k/year.

That caveat you apply to averages for rent also applies to cars. Some people are obsessed with having a new car. That’s not the price of having a reliable car.

Second, if you’re a couple, you don’t need two cars. That’s another luxury that many people get by without.

Finally, the car takes me out of town monthly into the mountains. So you would need to factor in car rentals for leaving NYC in your equation if you wanted a fair comparison of what people actually get out of their cars.

> NYC's obesity rate is half of the national rate. HALF! That's downright incredible.

Cause or effect? A lot of people with mobility issues end up obese and having mobility issues is a fucking nightmare in NYC. You just forced the unhealthy people out of the city by design.

I haven't seen much of what he says in general so I don't know if he has a really antagonistic trend in his he talks.

I interpreted what he said to mean "I have respect for devs who approach this for just the art, but if you don't consider monetization into your design from the beginning, you are self sabotaging your chance at business success".

He just said that with less politically correct talk, which is easily taken out of context.

Also there's this assumption in this thread and in HN in general that "monetization" always means bleeding people out of their money. Sure much of the industry does that, but I don't think that has to be the case
