4xSATA ports so it will be a fairly modest NAS, also at that price point it has a lot of competition from budget CPUs and mini-ITX mainboards.

It looks like it could be a pretty nice little SFF desktop. The low power draw means you don't need active cooling and it has everything built in so you won't need some dongle (other than power) to integrate. The only issue is that it's not Intel so if your employee needs to run MS Office or be managed from the domain it won't work. But for the receptionist or for a kiosk or many other uses this could be pretty nice, especially if you are trying to cut down on energy use.
Show HN: The Cloud Resume Challenge
I initially created the Cloud Resume Challenge [0] a couple of years ago because I was seeing a huge wave of people trying to get "six-figure cloud jobs" off the back of little more than a couple of certifications. This is not sufficient and it contributes to the industry's bad attitude toward hiring and mentoring juniors.

The goal of the CRC was to set people new to cloud a REAL challenge: not to give them a paint-by-numbers tutorial, but to lay out a spec that would require them to open a bunch of search tabs, stay up late, go down rabbit holes, and learn through pain. It self-selects for people who are self-motivated and know how to learn.

If you try the Cloud Resume Challenge and can't complete it, or you hate it, then you'll have learned a valuable lesson about whether you really want a job in the cloud right now - because these are the type of problems that cloud teams really work on.

But if you can complete the Cloud Resume Challenge, you will learn something about:

Front end and back end software development

Cloud services and "serverless"

Cloud networking, particularly DNS and CDNs

Cloud security

DevOps principles (version control, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD)

And you'll learn by doing, because the spec doesn't give you enough help to figure any of this out without a lot of trial and error. It's a messy way to learn, but reality is messy. That's why it works as a talking point in real-life job interviews.

People sometimes get hung up on the "resume" part of the Cloud Resume Challenge, saying "who would be impressed by a resume site?" Fine, whatever, put something else on your site, it doesn't have to be your resume. (Though I believe personal websites are underrated as learning tools, simply because they give you built-in motivation to keep maintaining and updating the site over time, which gives 90% of the value in any side project.) The important thing is to build something real, something with a purpose in the world - not a toy tutorial. That will give you a baptism by fire that you will not forget.

Last thing: though there is a guidebook [1] for the challenge that you can buy (actually 3, one for each cloud! I just updated them! They're great!) the challenge itself is and will remain free for everyone to do. Happy to answer any questions - the CRC is not my job, it's a passion project and I'm always open to suggestions for how to make it a better experience.

I live in Brooklyn and feel the same way. Even if you discount all the empty luxury apartments held by foreigners who never show up, there are still tons of people who want to move here.

Why?, because when you have all these people crammed together - weird stuff happens and that's what makes NYC magical. We're constantly mixing together, in the subways, bars, restaurant, parks ,etc. You get to see firsthand all the humanity of this city. No other city in America has replicated that.
NYC rental vacancy is only a bit over 4% city wide. The national average is closer to 6%. It is very expensive to build in New York, and projects can be scuttled at any time due to angry neighbors or intervention by city council. The EIS process adds a ton of cost to new construction. As a result of this risk banks require high returns in NYC than in most places in order to secure loans. If you take a development loan the rental price for the units is written into the loan.
He's saying every game needs to be an MTX riddled nightmare to be successful. As a gamer I reject that and have been with my wallet for a while. There are hundreds of dev teams producing great stuff below the AAA level that only ask me to buy the game once not every day.
I knew I remembered the name John Riccitiello from somewhere as a dumbass. And it turns out, it's 1997 to 2004 and 2007 to 2013 at Electronic Arts. The two periods known as the absolute worst times in terms of quality and scumbaggery when it comes to monetization of games for EA. Oh, and also as someone who was fired because EA was bleeding out money, fucked up not one but four consecutive high profile game launches and was in litigation with about half of its studios.

Thanks John, but I seem to have a slight idea at who the fucking idiot in the room might be, unfortunately, you're failing upwards.
You don't have to follow through. You just make the case to the engine licensor that you will take that option if they don't reduce their price. Alternatives are bargaining chips, even if they are poor alternatives. Not every seller will make concessions when you do this. Some do, and some say "OK then let us know if you change your mind" and wait.
I see your point but your snark is annoying

>no one is going to commute 90 minutes for a minimum wage job when there are plenty of jobs available elsewhere

A few things:

1. The premise there (when there are plenty of jobs elsewhere) is kinda flimsy -- its already easier to find jobs in larger cities (that's why people move there), and nothing guarantees this won't get worse

2. Yes, there is a breaking point where people can't afford (in terms of time and/or money) a long and/or expensive commute. Humans have a workaround for that. Its called slums.
No, because I read it in the dead tree editions of newspapers and magazines. But there's a thing called Google that might be of some use to you.
I lived in Sydney for five years! Great city. Lived there before I came here.

My partner and I are looking at Madrid. But yeah, there is no other city in the world that's going to be like NY. Maybe London but of course that has the same problems.
Well, I'll never look at a recipe the same way again...
What? Most people I know in Manhattan are just people with jobs who enjoy living in the city. There is no "displaying their success" or "keep winning bigger" mentality to be found in my sprawling NYC-based friend group. Sounds like something from TV or the movies.
“Did he just tell me to go fuck myself?”

Counterpoint: Minecraft did essentially zero marketing and is monetized only in the sense that you need an account to log in (which is easily bypassed for single player) and it was/is the biggest and most valuable game of all time.

I think the type f (schuko) is better, it has no fuse in the cabel, but you don't have to worry about the side which you put it in and both of the holes where power gets through are usually protected against screwdrivers, there has to be equal pressure to get access to the power.

> I like that the city is generally safer than the rest of America.

Coming from New Hampshire: this is just fantastically untrue. NYC is about one hundred times more violent than where I live. It is so thoroughly not the same that I can usually tell when people come from cities simply based on how nervous they are. I think most people don't realize how badly it affects them, or how violent cities are versus "the rest of America".

Some crime stats: https://imgur.com/a/qDKqC59

edit: NYC has 5.8 violent crimes per 1,000 people, which is 45% more violent than the USA median (4.0). I have no idea how 45% more violent got a reputation as "safer than the rest of America" but it's not true.
I realized at some point that a good portion of harm from sleep interruptions comes from being anxious about them, not the interruptions themselves.

I be have always been very sensitive about my sleep, but after getting a child (and suddenly getting lots of interruptions every night) I stopped caring and found out that a few interruptions a night isn't really that big of a deal if I don't let myself get agitated about it.
Only small devs stick to the basic contract. Bigger games that expect to bring in a lot of money will go for a custom contract with Epic instead.
Actually, that's not true in a strange perverse way. Higher interest rates = higher mortgage rates = higher monthly costs to own = More people being stuck in the rental market = more demand in an already over-heated rental market.

Remember housing prices going down doesn't turn to a lower monthly cost (it keeps at pace typically). This is pure wealth loss (which is the point so we can cut inflation).

This is already happening in NYC (and this article is the outcome of that).

Sure they’ll lose relative to the place next door, but they’ll win relative to their same unit 10 years ago because the land underneath their building (and the amenities around it) have increased in value so dramatically.
I love working with Godot but I can't help but feel like GDScript is a mistake.

I want better language support and community when working on a project. I want to use nice VSCode plugins that auto format my code (and give type hints... Untyped languages hurt me so much these days)

I can't wait for better C# integration for Godot. It's ok now but I'd love it to be rock solid.

Your question is unclear. Can you provide a context?
Large reactors are generally much harder to maintain and keep safe - there are a lot of reasons why they become significantly more difficult to keep safe, so I think that's the reasoning behind this.
That's nice and all but it'll be the last thing your studio does if you didn't think about monetization. Why is "have a business model" so controversial?

It is not just the racism but also practical facts. There are American cities without a black barber. A given city may lack the food culture or language of some ethnic group. The incredible whiteness of some cities is self-perpetuating.
This sounds like what my religious nut parents would have done if smartphones had existed when I was a teen.

Their efforts to shelter me didn't work and caused me to feel guilt about seeking information about the outside world as I aged.

If you're really religious then you're not going to listen to me anyway, but if you're not then please reconsider depriving your children like this.
That seems almost to be the crux of the issue. From the article:

> A friend contacted Maree that evening, sharing the uploaded video. At the time, Maree “didn’t think much of it”.

> But after seeing the TikTok video featured in media reports describing her as an “elderly woman” with a “heartbreaking tale,” she said she “felt dehumanised”.

> “I feel like clickbait,” she said.

It really sounds like she agreed until she read that as well.

This is a well studied idea, the percentage of units sitting empty is a round error in the total supply of housing. At the start of the pandemic there were a paltry 4000 vacant condos. For reference there are 2.3 million apartments in the city.

128 was a scam. It was a way for Commodore to get rid of unused sunk cost R&D (MOS 8563). Buyers were promised C64, but twice the number so must be 2x better, received C64 with another almost separate computer glued to its ass. Second graphic chip requiring expensive monitor, second CPU. As a bonus manufacturing C128D was more expensive than Amiga 500!
That's not the first thing that comes to mind when you mention "monetisation" these days to the average gamer or gamedev. Without further context, the word is usually interpreted as bleeding your customer for more attention/money.
The fee part is incorrect. Coinbase offers 1:1 exchanges of USD<>USDC with zero fee.
On FTX it's the same, USDC and USD are treated 1:1 with no fee to convert. Deposit dollars, withdraw USDC or vice versa.
Aside from these zero fee exchanges, many others have significantly lower fees for stablecoin<>fiat than they do for crypto<>fiat.

Frank Lloyd Wright groupie here: I've been to Oak Park, the Robie House, Fallingwater, the Johnson Wax headquarters, and Taliesyn (WI).

He was certainly an arrogant asshole. Like Steve Jobs, he inspired a lot of people who thought that just being an arrogant asshole was the secret sauce.

His buildings were also poorly made and required endless renovation just to be usable. But they were beautiful, and they integrated with their surroundings (OK, except for Taliesyn, which was uninhabitable in the winter). Those two things are not true for Gehry.

I went with my brother (not a builder or architect) to Taliesyn. The first thing he noticed was how the glass wall corners didn't meet flush.
The primary driver of my view on real estate is that it should not be treated as an investment grade security. Attempts to leverage real estate as an investment grade security should be outlawed by the government.

Owners of rental units should be limited to a maximum number of units at any given time. For an individual I would say 5 to 10 units. For a corporation, I would want it limited to something like 50.

The goal being to enforce more competition and avoiding consolidation.

A terrible practice owners of rental units use is to keep available units off market in hopes of getting a better price in the short term future (typically 3-12 months). This practice should be made illegal. If you own rental units, you should be forced to list them when vacant.

Foreign ownership should also be seriously curtailed. Taxes should be extreme for units that aren't used except for 2 weeks a year. NYC should be for New Yorkers, Americans, immigrants, and people who choose to come to this city and create their life here, not for those who fly in on a private jet to stay 3 of the year. They can stay in a hotel.

I also don't believe owners of rental units should be able to own them indefinitely. Owners of rental units should be forced to sell to after they have recouped their investment and I'd say 3 times their investment cost. This creates enough upside (300% return) to incentivize purchasing of units to rent which thus incentivizes building.

After that point, the owner should be compelled to offer to renters the ability to buy their apartment or sell to another owner. Similar to how the velocity of money helps encourage economic activitiy, this is creating a velocity of housing.

I have no problem with individuals looking to create a passive income stream, and this should be allowed but up to a point. Similarly we need a system that will incentivize development of new buildings and construction, so there has to be enough upside opportunity down the stack from the owner to the builder to the banks financing it all. But it should be limited and real estate should not be treated as an investment grade security.

Custom scripting language seems to be a common error - early on Unity emphasized a pseudo-custom scripting language (Boo) over C# and had to slowly extract it out of the product, documentation etc.

It makes sense as a risk management strategy early on in engine development, though, since integrating something like C# can be difficult and they may have been afraid that they would regret building around C# later on.
It's phrased so... nonchalantly. Basically an out-and-out admission that they are trying to appeal to producers of addictive gambling garbage. Content rather than art. Skinner boxes rather than agency. And the market rewards them for it (not Unity specifically - I expect Riccitiello to run the company into the ground within a year or two - but rather the game companies actually making slot machine games that collectively form half the games industry by revenue).
Sure, but they don't cost the city anything, either. They sit empty and the city collects money. Meanwhile, the owners aren't even there and use zero city services. Should those taxes be higher? Fine with me! But these apartments are a low-salience/high-visibility distraction. They have hardly anything to do with the issues in the broader housing market.

Much smaller then NY, much more homogeneous, not a major world center of arts or finance.

Even with flowers, I would be mad, because them I'll have to take them home, put on a pot near the window, water them... (I don't like the idea of just throwing plants and flowers out in the trash).

Actually, I would like it even less because I hate the idea of cutting flowers out to put on a bouquet. They'll just die way faster for nothing. I think it's just not a good thing to give someone
I hope someone else cares...
This is something I struggle with a lot.

I have deep and meaningful relationships with quite a few friends, but there just seems to be a disconnect in my brain when it comes to reaching out to them. I'll think about them often, but those thoughts rarely convert to action.

I even know that it would be meaningful to them if I reached out and just let them know I was thinking of them to strike up a conversation.

Additionally, I'm terrible about responding to text messages. Perhaps there's some social anxiety when it comes to reading / responding to notifications on social media or texts and that leads to action paralysis.

It's something I'm actively trying to be better about—just wanted to share my own experience when it comes to the digital space and how much more difficult it is to navigate than the real world.

The dynamic nature of a flowing conversation just feels easier to engage with than short-form messaging. Even longer emails with penpals feel far more fulfilling to write and respond to than texts.

Despite all that, I don't really foresee short-form asynchronous messaging going away any time soon. I just need to figure out a way to make that style work for me.

I don't think it is. I'd like to examine it as well. The preemptive multi-tasking scheduler can be very useful for games, and it may be possible to port it to other 8-bit computers.

And, if software could be made portable, it'd be interesting to have GUI software that's cross-platform between Ataris, Apple //s and ///s, and the Commodore and BBC families (a VIC-20 would need a lot of expansion). Sadly, most of the others run their 6502's at half the speed of the Ataris.

BeagleBones also don't seem to get updated very often. The BeagleBone black is overdue for a version 2 with a faster CPU, double the memory, and double the built-in eMMC; especially at the $50 price point.
Sorry, of course that's correct. I was trying to articulate that the supply and demand, as a whole, is not currently a marketplace for people with housing to sell to those who want to be housed (in many places). It's a marketplace dominated by investors and landlords, and people who want to be housed are having to stretch their funds as far as they possibly can to keep up with the market currently being made by investors and landlords.
You absolutely can get houses for 300-400K in Detroit. Where exactly were you looking at? Houses that you're describing are definitely possible in hot areas like Downtown and Downtown adjacent areas like Corktown, Indian Woods, and Midtown.

Hmm, it depends how much you're going to be using the 3D features that Unity provides. If you're going down the big list of Unity 3D features and you're thinking you need a whole bunch of them, then it's possible that Unity would be a time save in the long run. But honestly I like Godot so much that it would take a lot to tip the scales.

I would personally not use Unity at all because I find the developer experience so frustrating. I'd rather spend an extra couple of days enjoyably hacking something together rather than spending less time in more frustrating ways (like waiting for compiles). But I feel I'm more sensitive to these things than most people.
Compulsion loop does sound rather dystopian and "attention-hacking" but it's interesting that he says "two minutes when it should have been an hour," instead of the other way around. An hour long compulsion loop sounds like it could be an immersive experience.

That said, I'm not hearing nice things about IronSource and it sounds like maybe there's better ways to get user feedback than the particular implementations they're using and are going to use with IronSource.
The problem with Godot is still it's age, and the lack of proven projects which many people are working on at once.

Myself and plenty of others at small or above size studios would have to make a huge leap into Godot and hope you don't run into any scaling issues. Not just from a project point of view, but integration on the artistic side.

LTS versions of Unity despite the known "un-fun" of it, are stable in a sense. Godot is moving fast, that isn't always a good thing for stability.

I'd love to jump on the new shiny and fun engine! But having to make the definitive choice for a company to make their next project in? Unfortunately just isn't there yet. "It's fun as a dev" just isn't a compelling argument for literally everyone else who isn't the engineer, compared to the number of all size studio pumping out Unity projects(Some even being successful!).
