I was going off of how the rogue-like tag is currently used in game marketplaces, like Steam. You are technically correct, I learned something new, and I updated - but as far as seeing the phrase in the wild and trying to predict what to expect, my comment stands.

Hades and Dead Cells are certainly not like diablo. the core game loop is to lose and try again, not build up a strong character over the course of a single playthrough as is typically expected of action-rpgs.

It seems like the definition of rogue-like has expanded due to popularity of the genre (as things do) and you have a purist attitude that rejects the new compromises. Rather than create contention over something you cant control, it might be better to highlight permadeath and no persistence as a subtype of rogue-likes for which the original game falls under.

And yes, it probably does need a better general-purpose name but unfortunately the thing it describes is rather abstract so idk what a concise self-evident phrase could be for it

Amazon used to provide one unit of stock to each full-time employee --- folks gave that up for a higher base salary and other compensation.

Kind of silly to be complaining that the employees don't own enough of the company when they gave that ownership up as a bargaining position.
I think we basically agree.

I think this is the better model minus the medallions.

Uber should simply act as a dispatching service, and get a commission for connecting customers to drivers.

Im sure some people will still claim the are expliting the driver LLCs, but at least they wont have to deal with the headache of the contractor/employee debate.

I think in most states a B2B relationship is solid defense against claims that someone is a misclassified employee.
People who don't "optimize for this lottery" are the ones who luck always seems to pass them by. They just don't know why, and they guess they're just unlucky. It's just not fair!

What they don't see is how the "lucky" people put extra effort in over an extended period of time, without immediate personal gain. It's not worth it... Until it is.

> Okay, and what about the thousands of people who legitimately need help? Do you really think it's acceptable that people have their content stolen or falsely flagged, or their channel demonetised or banned without recourse?

Yes. Or rather, these particular commercial relationships shouldn't exist in the first place — they're fundamentally untenable.

As I say in my sibling comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32071124#32073569), Google shouldn't be attempting to work with independent creators at all; there's no way to make it work. It shouldn't allow people to directly post on YouTube. (At least, monetized. They could still support it for hobbyists who aren't out to make money and are explicitly opting out of any support.)

Instead, YouTube should be directly engaging — and encouraging the consolidation of — MCNs, into a small collection of reseller-partners; a collection small-enough that YouTube can scalably listen to those partners' complaints. Where those partners then act as collectors and filters for complaints, only raising to YouTube's attention the problems that actually seem to be YouTube problems rather than PEBKAC problems.

Am I reinventing mainstream media? Yes. Because mainstream media scales.
From what I know, executives appreciate people being honest with them and not constantly trying to sell them on something. OP was honest and didn't try to sell them something they didn't need - something people in executives positions really appreciate and remember.

Case in point:

I remember working on a project that was taking a long time to get stuff done. One day, I took lunch in our project room and was there with another junior dev as we were both trying to finish a few things up and working and eating lunch.

Suddenly in walks three older gentlemen in suits. They start looking at all the stuff (charts, metrics, designs, etc) we have posted up around the room and start talking and pointing to some charts. I kindly ask them if there's something I can help them with.

They walk over and introduce themselves. Two are executive VP's of the department we're building the app for. The other is a senior VP who is showing them what we do. I start explaining how the progress is going, "Well, Bob, its really all rainbows and unicorns right now. If we can get server A talking to server B, it will be even better."

Exec A puts his hand and I stop talking. Looks at me and says, "Atfateshands, tell me honestly how the project is going. I didn't come down here for a sales presentation, tell me honestly what your thoughts are."

That evolved into a 30 min talk about what I thought was holding the project back and possibly transitioning out of some the tech that was kind of forced on the project to a better framework that would speed up building this app. I stood at a whiteboard and quickly ran the numbers for them showed them it wasn't too late to pivot.

They thanked me for my time and left. I figured nothing would come of it. Then a few days later, the project manager comes to me and says, "You know how you wanted to pivot to that new JS Framework? You got the green light. Let's get started ASAP, ok?"
The same three guys showed up about a month later, and pulled me outside the room to thank me for my honesty and not just telling them what they wanted to hear and believed that pivoting to the tech I recommended essentially saved the entire project from getting scrapped. Because of all the delays we were having, they were discussing the possibilities of just shutting the project down in the next few weeks when they visited our room that day. The most senior VP also told me in the future not to wait around before speaking up.

It was a pretty eye opening experience, but gave me a really valuable lesson.

> most importantly it allows for much more compact lens designs because the last optical element can be much closer to the sensor since there is no mirror in the way.

But are these lenses and bodies actually designed that way, or do they keep the old dimensions because of backward compatibility?

Small correction, no one will be able to pay for time on JWST. But if you put in a proposal for time and it's accepted, they will pay you. That's to make sure there is sufficient funds available to properly make use of the data you proposed for.
>As it so happens, Google do offer plenty of ways to engage with them — they just can't "say any of them out loud", or they'll be bombarded and rendered useless, as above.

This seems pretty ridiculous though, right? Imagine a system like this for any other service. A self checkout with no help button, but they'll totally help you if you do the konami code on the screen and say the pledge of allegiance.

I don't get why we act like google being too big to support all its clients is our fault. They are choosing to be this big, and they can choose to have better customer support. It would just cost them a lot of money.

The most depressing thing about memory management is that there's been 0 innovation in the past 10+ years, and it seems like we're fundamentally at a dead end where only tradeoffs exist.

There are basically 3 options going forward:

- manual memory management (C++, Rust) "I can verify your code but you need to `unsafe` to do anything interesting"

- reference counting (Swift) "I leak memory through cycles"

- tracing GC (Java, Go) "I stop the world and trash your swap"

The rest is engineering (e.g. Go reduced the "stop-the-world" phase to O(1) from O(n) where n is the size of memory)

There's other low-but-non-zero probability outcomes with a high payoff out of such a call, too. For instance, it may turn out that you are a good fit, because the requirements got mangled during the inevitable game of telephone. There's enough such possibilities that it's worth taking the call, but also not wasting anyone's time once the situation has become clear.

Economic value has no strong meaning. When you mow your lawn yourself, does this action have economic value? If so, why is it not measured? If not, why does it have if you hire someone to do the work for you? Likewise for some jobs that are quite country specific: do old people who need a job to survive have more economic value than old annuitant people who can take care of their grand-children? What about reading a book? What about then discussing about said book with others? What if that discussion makes some students better? What if you are a teacher? What if you are a benevolent? What about writing a novel that would have had tremendous economic value if published but keeping it to yourself? What if that novel is then published after your death?

Productivity has no strong meaning either. How do you measure it? GDP PPP / worker / hour? What if it actually depends on externalities like the amount of carbon released in the atmosphere? What is actually a worker (back at the what is "work" and "economic value" point)? What if it counts destroying then rebuilding things (as-is)? What if it counts absurdly high health expenses? What if it counts absurdly high health expenses coming in part because some people illegal pushed for addictive drugs to be way over-prescribed by corrupting physicians?

UX feedback is usually retrieved via user interviews.

I personally have never heard from a product person „Let’s A/B test whether this is delightful“. And I think that’s because delightfulness or satisfaction is impossible to quantify in A/B tests. You only get to measure things like engagement, signup rates, retention etc. - cold hard taps on the screen, and no more.

And I must say that I‘m glad that, right now, apps can’t just scan my face (or cortisol levels, or pheromones or…) for emotional clues while I read their pesky push notifications that want to coax me back into their daily active user base.
I'm interested in J2CL, but surprised by the sparse implementation of the JRE. I currently use TeaVM and CheerpJ which have both managed a much more complete JRE implementation despite less backing. I don't have the resources to help much myself, but I hope the JRE gets more support in the future.
Image stacking to remove noise and optical artifacts, careful use of color filters to enhance contrast and pull out detail. The press release says it used Red: F444W, Orange: F335M, Yellow: F470N, Green: F200W, Cyan: F187N, Blue: F090W. The N filters are narrowband. F470N is only 54 nanometers wide: https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-near-infrared-camera/nircam...

Almost all the light in this image is way off the red end of the human visual spectrum, of course. The shortest wavelength filter is F090W which has a center wavelength of 902nm, about the same color as the light coming out of a TV remote infrared LED, which is barely visible in pure darkness.

This is what it looks like through a film SLR, without the detail enhancing filters: http://www.phys.ttu.edu/~ozprof/3372f.htm Here's a 20 minute exposure through a telescope: http://www.phys.ttu.edu/~ozprof/3372fk.jpg Maybe what you would see with your own eyes through binoculars at a dark site well away from city lights.

Ask HN: Why did you quit learning programming?
Maybe, HN is not the best place for this question, but something tells me there will be interesting stories behind it.

I saw a lot of people I knew start learning how to program. They did it in all sorts of ways: free courses, paid courses, books, schools, etc.

Almost all of them quit within weeks or months.

An interesting observation was to hear them describing why they quit too abstractly, too broadly. "I didn't like it." "Couldn't make the time to learn." "Too hard." Things like that.

I've always felt that there's so much more behind those answers. So much we could learn about why programming is so hard to enter, apart from the inherent domain complexity.

What's your story, or that of someone you've seen quit?
>relatively little money

On what planet? It costs £2750 plus VAT, sometimes I think I live in a different universe than HN posters

If you can synchronize the clocks in the car and the key fob, it doesn't matter if you know the delta to UTC or not.
> The OVF lag on the high end models is significantly faster than the time it take the mirror to retract (a D5 SLR has about 40ms of shutter lag). This means that while you might have a very minimal lag on the EVF, you make up for it in shorter shutter lag.

As you point out, 40ms delay doesn't matter for shutter timing. Coming at it from a gaming and controls perspective: delay can make it a little harder to track things, though. I don't know how big of a deal this is to real users. I do know that the sheer amount of blackout on almost all current mirrorless sucks.

> Once AF and motor drive happened, the technique shifted from trying to hit the decisive moment, to just mashing the shutter and picking the best shot from the series.

Yah, and this is a place mirrorless cameras win and even phone cameras perform very well-- 10 picture/second burst rate on iPhone which few DSLRs can match. Middle/lower end Canon now is hitting 15FPS mechanical shutter and 23FPS electronic/silent, which is absolutely nuts to me (I have memories of buying a "blindingly fast" 7FPS camera..)

I had spectacular results from AWS Textract recently - which when this article was written (2019) wasn't yet openly available.

I fed it thousands of pages of historical scanned documents - including handwritten journals from the 1800s - and it could read them better than I could!

Part of the problem is that ordinary users have no clue just how much the app actually costs to develop and maintain. And how could they?

I worked on Socrative for several years (similar to Quizlet), and we had backlash when we introduced a "Pro" version with paid features. All existing free features, which had been developed over several years, could still be used for free—it was only new features that would be behind the paywall. Many users lamented all over social media that Socrative was no longer "free." But it had never been free—it had been losing over $1m per year!
Ask HN: 50/50 Cofounder leaving amicably. What now?
Cofounder has unfortunately decided to leave our company. We're equal shareholders. Our shares vest over a 4yr period with a 1yr cliff. Since we only incorporated in February, nothing has vested, but we are both on the board.

What is the course of action here? Is there a place where I can find a template for some sort f a separation agreement that would detatch them from the company completely, including any shareholding and board positions?

Product is built but pre-launch, and, unfortunately, we are also in the middle of our pre-seed. We've incorporated a C Corp via Stripe Atlas
I am working on network infrastructure, we mostly use command line flags to enable/disable features. The flag values are saved in the code repository and built into each release.

There is an internal initiative recently asking for dynamic config based feature control. The dynamic config is an RPC-based data push to the running services, which are expected to handle the config changes without restarting. It sounds less disruptive but may require careful cleanup for some features, in which case the cmd flag with a restart is much easier to implement.

I (nor any other individual) don't get to decide whether or not a given law harms society.

We all, collectively, as a society decide that.

Even if you decide to break a law that has zero impact on anyone, that fact that others can see you doing that with impunity harms society.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of stupid laws. But going around breaking ones that are inconvenient to your business model is kind of a dick move.
The mirror box / pentaprism combo is not required. DSLR cameras were built as the technology did not exist to eliminate them. Now that processor, LCD and AF systems have caught up, the SLR is redundant.

The primary advantage of the SLR was that you can see the image as the lens is framing the image - a huge improvement over rangefinder systems (such as the Leica M). This allowed the use of super telephoto, wide angle, macro and tilt shift lenses to be much easer. The primary downside of the SLR was that it did not show you how the exposure was going to be recored on the film or digital sensor.

The mirrorless system eliminates that and now lets you see precisely how the image is framed as well as how it is exposed in real time *without* taking the image as the LCD and viewfinder are constantly reading from sensor. In addition you gain the possibility to handhold at much lower shutter speeds due to the mirror slap being removed and the on board sensor shift stabilization systems. DSLRs couldn't do this and relied on lens based solutions (Olympus & Pentax did have sensor shift stabilization, but it was niche and the market leaders Nikon & Canon relied on lens based stabilization). Another advantage is that with the removal of the mirror box, you can have short flange distances allowing new lens designs and lens interoperability. Nikon has the shortest flange distance in the industry and has support for just about every other lens mount out their (though through third party adapters - some with full AF capability also).

So the DSLR, except for maybe a few niche cases is old technology that is superseded in every single way. The interesting thing will be to see how the new mirrorless cameras effect the UI and ergonomics of the camera systems. So far, the pro level systems (Z9, R5, etc..) are all still for the most part using the DSLR form factor. Especially Nikon. I actually like this, but lets see what the future holds.
I mostly agree but I find modern software algorithms with "automatic" adjustment on the RAW tend to do a good job for the stuff I'm happy to have a lower quality JPEG anyway. It allows me to spend less time adjusting settings on my Camera, just load it into lightroom, auto-wb and auto-color tone and the jpg is "ready" to send.

Do you add anything to the substrate besides npk? Which I assume you would use, but I don't know enough about mushrooms yet. And if you do, do you control the mushroom stages by different ratios of npk as well? Besides of course, inspecting them as well.

Calling these lotteries is actually a big misrepresentation. Lotteries are for astronomical odds. Plus you can do things to change your odds.

Instead of waiting to be picked, you could have been proactive and reached out to them for a job. The odds massively improve in your favor compared to a lottery in terms of winning (winning = getting a job in this case). And to belabor the obvious, no matter how cool I am with the gas station clerk, it's not going to improve my odds of winning the lottery.

That leads us to part 2, which is "why do anything at all for your career when you already have skills" and it's because doing things like signalling that you give a shit alerts other folks with decision-making powers that can benefit you.
