Nebulex shines when you need a distributed cache. ETS is per-node so you'd need to handle synchronizing the data if you ever scale horizontally.

To keep it simple, you could rewrite this post using ex_shards as it handles scaling ETS (which IIRC is the backend by default for Nebulex).

That said, I was able to write a distributed session store with Nebulex pretty quickly. Then extended it to support live sessions, though it's not up to feature parity with its ETS counterpart if anyone wants to help out with my PR https://github.com/pentacent/phoenix_live_session/pull/14

There's already a pretty mature world of apps that interface with BMWs to turn features on and off, even my 14 year old BMW has hundreds of features you can toggle with an iOS app+OBD dongle. Everything from changing how the sunroof switch behaves to modifying the front-rear split of the all wheel drive.

I imagine it will become a bit of a cat and mouse game as they try to block access to paid features, though it's ultimately a moot point for me, as it's obvious where the company is going and I'm never buying a new BMW again.
You can do Godot with a code only workflow. The UI is just an abstraction over setting variables and writing configuration files. You’ll likely want to use a language with good IDE support though, like C# (Mono). The Scene files can also be written by hand.

But the Tool class (which you use to leverage the GUI) is so useful in Godot. You’re probably going to use egui or imgui to build a replacement yourself in any other engine anyway.

The instant feedback of changing key variables and seeing their effect is too useful not to leverage.

It's like a balloon. Take two distances when balloon is empty. Let's say furthest points of each other (10cm) and halfway points (5cm)
When you inflate the balloon the distance of furthest points increased to 20cm. But the 5cm is 8cm and not 10cm.
The same in space. the further you go the faster it expands. The event horizon is the point where the expansion is faster than the speed of light. Any photon emitted will never reach us. The crazy thing is that according to some theories even the space between atoms will be beyond the event horizon.

A/B testing is local optimization. It should only be done on a mature(-ish) product when you have given up on finding a global minimum.

Running experiments and A/B tests are popular because it is _guaranteed_ to give you signal. If you have a large engineering team and you're not sure how to filter the quality of results, gating everything through A/B tests is a well understood methodical way to ensure only positive work makes it way through.

Early stage startups should never A/B test. When you're searching for product market fit, you're doing global optimization within the search space. Your product will change drastically as you make new learnings. Premature optimization (A/B tests) will only be detrimental.

How is the leverage working here beyond providing a convenient lie.

100x$100 is $10k no matter how much you lie that your shitcoin is worth 100x what people will pay for them. And that's diminishing your yield making it marginal whether you're matching your opportunity cost.
I like https://www.borgbackup.org/ and you can get a relatively cheap storage plan on rsync.net just for Borg (https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html)

Seems a bit paranoid for one thing.

Also, it's unfair and cruel to put the responsibility for preventing abuse onto the abused. The person engaging in dysfunctional behavior is the problem, not their victims.

We've had Ponzi scams before. They were illegal when running and the perpetrators punished (apparently) to the full extent of the law.

The same laws still applied through the run ups of the current crop of Ponzi schemes and their collapse will surely be investigated and prosecuted (and victims compensated!) with the unflagging integrity and firm justice as the previous examples.

Where were the regulators? Where they always have been, avoiding action as assiduously as any burrocrat. They're already polishing their seats in anticipation of the Next Big Thing.
My 'favorite' silly thing PMs do is UX research studies (typically on 5-10 people) and essentially ask completely untrained people if we should go with X/Y or Z. It's a super-effective way of avoiding responsibility for product decisions ("the data suggest we should go with Y"). If only building good products were as easy as asking what customers think they want.

There are many people who would happily pay 4 years of car ownership if it means difference between safe birth and unsafe one. If you think its rare mindset, see what happens if (very frequent when I look around) miscarriage happens, how it fucks up people in most fundamental ways and insecure they become.

And obviously there are tremendous use cases to enjoy weekends, do groceries/other shopping, helping friends and family and so on and on...

I come from Europe, currently living in Switzerland which has best rail system in the world and general decent public transport... but still owning a car is a must for 4 of us, travelling anywhere with kids is a chore and amount of stuff for weekend is impossible to carry in public transport (stroller(s), child bed, all clothing, food equipment etc. and thats just kids).

Sure you can spend all weekends in the same place if thats your thing, but it certainly ain't ours, not when we have alps just in the backyard.

A social network where you pay to join with the ability of only one account per payment method might stop a lot of nonsense. Make the signup fee high (ex. $100 USD) and monthly fee low ($2) to steer people towards 1 account.

That idea won't get traction because people don't want to pay for a social network. But damn do people love "reality internet" - outrageous content, reaction videos and otherwise fabricated "content" I equate to Reality TV like "The Real Housewives of ..."

In my opinion, it should also be closed in the sense of no viral/global messaging. With zero need for advertising money, you don't need eyeball time or to be promoting controversial content above people posting pics of their dinner. Let people be social about stuff they are interested in and connect with people they know. That's the other bit - you can't randomly connect/view content by people not in X degrees of separation from you.
I work in Europe at a nice company with nice offices. It's beautiful.

Most of the time we all have our doors wide open, it's glass doors, mostly glass walls, very bright, very modern. Everybody is welcome to stop by at any time when the door is open. Door closed means "please don't disturb unless it's an emergency". People close doors to have longer discussions, to have confidential discussions, or to have peace and quiet.

The doors basically serve the same purpose as headsets. They just make more sense and are more ... human.

Yes, some offices house more than one person. Typically 2, some have 3. But the employees in this situation are quite content with this and could request single offices at any time.

Fuel duty and road tax: how to replace £35B a year of lost revenue
HN appears to lean pretty heavily Libertarian.

The unfortunate thing is Libertarianism is a pretty shallow, selfish, and immoral political ideology. It's a shortcut that's easy to take especially as someone that's likely upper middle class and doesn't want to pay dern taxes.

It's shallow, because it almost always doesn't consider full impacts of deregulating. For example, eliminating the minimum wage or enabling child labor. It assumes that the market will just magically correct, yet what we've seen historically is the market has a tendency to consolidate into powerful monopolies which can and do sacrifice everything for more money. There are not market forces, for example, to stop slavery. The market WANTS slavery.

It's selfish because a Libertarian always assumes they aren't at the bottom rung. Who cares if people below me get hurt? They should have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps.

It's immoral because a pure Libertarian can't really argue against things like child sex workers. Who is to stop them? The assumption is the parents will, but we already know desperate parents will sell their kids (where do you think old timey chimney sweeps came from?). It's deciding that "nothing can be done" without acknowledging that the current system or regulations have been done and have curbed these moral problems (but, notably, haven't eliminated them. Libertarians like to let perfect be the enemy of good).

But hey "I got mine" right?

This isn't to say that there aren't some libertarian ideals that are good. In fact, in many social settings I'd argue that "the government needs to mind it's own business" is a good rule of thumb. However, Libertarianism fails pretty spectacularly when those regulations are around labor or business practices. It's incredibly naive in thinking that "natural consequences" work better than a government inspector.

> consumed by personal shame, guilt, and self-loathing

I’d suggest that it’s not about those things for the accusers themselves. It’s simply about gaining power. And they do it by preying upon “personal shame, guilt, and self-loathing” in other well-meaning people. They’ve discovered that yelling “cultural appropriation” works quite well with people who are constantly looking for other people to feel sorry for - which of a kind of projection.

Ants aren't humans. They do not share, condense, or process information.

If you look at the limiter of human advancement you find that single points of high computational power aren't limiting us.

Instead, it is human ability to be empowered to explore problem spaces, have access to ample resources, and the diversity of our thought and exploration that drives our advancement.

In all places we are limited, AGI isn't a solution that knocks the ball out of the park. The theory of a computer constrained to a box and exponentially growing its intelligence just doesn't seem realistic.
And yet roughly half of Amazon warehouse workers have been successfully propagandized into not supporting unionization. I can sympathize to a degree with those who aren't subjected to such conditions not understanding how this works in practice (to be fair, a lot of Americans simply don't care if others are suffering straight up) but for those subjected to this? Many of them are still temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

I think that's reading too much into the movie. It's not an apologia of modern day China, it's a wuxia fable about imperial China, and the message of unity is not a bad one.

> A federation of states, in an integrated form like the USA or weaker like the EU seems to work much better in terms of benefits to their citizens than authoritarian empires in Chinese or Russian style.

That's a lot of baggage to unload into a wuxia movie. It's a movie, a folklore fable more in the style of a Chinese Rashomon (to which it's been compared) than a way to introduce political discourse. I wouldn't overanalyze it, just like I don't watch samurai movies to criticize them because Japanese feudal society wasn't democratic.

I can guarantee you "Hero" is not communist propaganda. I thought we were past this level of paranoia with the Cold War over.

I always go back to one thing.

No one and I mean no one was concerned about taxi drivers as workers before Uber.

What’s different now? Drivers have flexibility and simple terms. Passengers love it.

Who did Uber hurt? Medallion owners. I would argue at the root of every anti Uber push is the taxi industry lobbying against it.

These “workers rights” people never once showed up to punish the pre-Uber taxi industry.

I’m skeptical even if Uber has cut corners as a global business. I imagine many global corporations have as much, if not more dirty laundry.
I was going to say hopefully EU regulators back off some of the insane Taxi regulations that require you to have 100,000€ or more to…drive people around

That is actually going to happen for rustc itself via the rustc_codegen_gcc project (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_gcc), this post is about a different project that writes a "from scratch" rust frontend/compiler for the GCC project in C++ . They both compile rust code with GCC as a backend, but one uses the normal rustc/cargo tools, and the other is a separate compiler with a separate cargo shim.
At this stage the most relevant tools aiding research (unless I missed something discreet) have the long-known issue of "transparency", or lack thereof, or that solutions may work but for the growth of knowledge your actual interest would be "how and why".

For AGI, you will have to wait.
Something about the government, in minecraft.
A long time ago, I ran a creative agency. One day, I realized how my and my colleagues' talents were being used to sell utter bullshit. Closed the business and switched to web-design. In early 2005, I convinced a big local banking tech company to focus on UX and UCD. Started a UX design business. In late 2015, overwhelmed by the infinite need for Dark Patterns by my clients, I killed "the business" again and switched purely to UI and frontend development.

So I guess this is the "progress" we can offer to humanity, pretty pictures and shapes with psychological tricks for corporate speculation and self-validation.
This could be a serious time sink for someone. After just a few moments I was like "wait, I am going to sit here and keep moving this mouse... must leave".

Exactly. The abstraction is good to have quick first results.

As soon as it comes to browser-specific issues or very detailed customer requirements you need the flexibility to look behind the abstraction layer. Then, if you do not have the necessary expertise, you are lost.

What do you mean by tacked on? If you're talking about the framework, I can't imagine it'd be remotely the same game if it wasn't one; if you're talking about the label itself, making it a roguelike was pretty clearly a driving principle in its design.

I'm not suggesting what Uber did is OK, but taxis also operate as a mafia, at least where I leave (and I'd bet most major cities in the world).

Uber is a more efficient mafia that won over the old mafia.
This reply has nothing to do with Uber’s war on workers or how they bribed government officials.

Glad Uber got you where you wanted to go though, put your email in your bio and maybe they’ll ask you to write a tweet for them.
> My only guess is that you didn't login with a Microsoft account

That's correct, I created a local-only account since the PC wasn't connected to any network.

However, I would have expected a feature "enabled by default" to not be tied to a specific type of account. I suppose that it would have to save the key somewhere, which works less well with local accounts.
> On top of that, if I pay $999 for heated seats as an addon, that’s equivalent to 4.5 years of subscription at $18/m.

If the heated seat is already built-in and they can still sell the car profitably for $999 less, then charging for this feature you already got and they already profited from is a pure money grab.

If Apple started selling iPhones that had the usual cameras built in, but you couldn't install any camera apps unless you paid them $18 per month, would you really be so enthusiastic?

The first part of the tweet, quoted in the title, is just clickbait.

The second part has nothing to do with Notion:

I’m just venturing a guess, but if all you’re going to do is delete Notion, you’ll probably still spend most of your time trying to increase productivity and efficiency rather than doing the things that need doing.

> And then highly paid people like many HN are just not willing to do the math: A taxi driver (or Uber driver) will not be able to drive all working day long. They have to wait for new passengers a significant part of their working time.

This dynamic changes significantly though when your have app-mediated taxi interactions, instead of waving down a taxi in the street. Taxi drivers end up drastically more efficiently allocating their time, since they don't have to drive around hoping for customers to miraculously appear - instead they just drive directly to the closest customer every time.

They can also manage their time to work only when & where there is demand for their services in the moment, instead of driving around the wrong area looking for non-existent customers. You'd also expect that by providing a more convenient/cheaper/better service, this would create more demand for taxis in turn, which makes it easier to find passengers, and so driver time can be even better utilized.

None of that requires either Uber specifically or a ruthless gig-worker model - any other app-based taxi service would provide the same benefits - but I think it does make a clear argument for why app-powered taxis in general should be able to bring taxi prices down and provide a better customer experience, without necessarily destroying taxi driver's livelihoods.
I have found over time that playing aggressively without blocking can often lead to the same health point result or better at the end of the fight.
Sometimes playing it safe is a trap that will cost you more health in the long run. For example, if you are at > 50% health, it is probably a better value to upgrade a good defensive or healing card than resting yourself.
