Cities are generally not targets for high yield weapons. Multiple low(er) yield weapons do more damage to soft targets, like cities, than fewer high yield weapons. Additionally, they don't need to be as accurate for these roles. This is traditionally the realm of submarine-launched ballistic missiles: a countervalue guarantee against a first strike. The Trident D5's incredible accuracy and high yield changed that calculus a bit but that is a different post.

High yield weapons are used against hardened targets such as ICBM silos, underground command posts and launch control centers, communications hubs, leadership shelters, etc. The relationship between yield and accuracy is of course related, but at the end of the day counterforce weapons tend to be on the higher end of the scale. Earth penetration capabilities also influence yield choices, e.g. the B61-11 bomb @ 400 kilotons replaced the massive B53 @ 9 megatons. Both are bunker-busters, but the former bomb can penetrate rock and earth before detonating while the latter sits on the surface at detonation.

Counterforce vs. countervalue targeting touches upon some of your points. It's a long discussion but in essence the former approach is designed to reduce the ability for the enemy to effectively wage war, especially nuclear war. This means targeting command posts, communications hubs, air bases, missile silos, nuclear weapon storage facilities, etc. Countervalue targeting is meant to inflict unacceptable damage to the enemy by targeting power plants and other infrastructure, transportation hubs, and cities & their civilian population. Countervalue targeting requires far fewer weapons and lower accuracy, but it means direct mass murder of civilians a la the firebombing of WWII, rather than the indirect mass murder of civilians as a byproduct of targeting militarily-useful assets. A large scale "pure" counterforce attack would inevitably result in many civilian casualties though they were not the targets.

Same for me. This only started happening in the last 4-6 weeks. Prior to that it was relatively stable.
I'm not sure I'd agree that having one language would be 'optimized' for the human mind. People often create DSLs due to the limitations of general-purpose languages that are constrained by the large number of use-cases they must support; sometimes a DSL actually makes things less ambiguous, and therefore easier on our minds.

To give a more concrete example: in Xamarin apps, you can technically do all UI in nothing but C#, just writing in the code-behind rather than in XAML. But as any Xamarin developer will tell you, this is a nightmare to work with. It becomes less clear what code is responsible for structure vs logic, and can be a real pain to test.

Now that's not to say I completely disagree. For example, I think Tailwind gives you a sense of what it would be like if HTML & CSS were one and the same; keeping structure and style together makes a lot of sense to me. But I'd be wary of a one language to rule them all.
Nothing is ever set in stone when it comes to business. Things can always be changed.

Why would a http client not let you get http response bodies for statuses that usually send bodies? I could understand it for a 201, and definitely for a 204, but for a 404 it just seems like bad design of the client.

I'm going to argue that Teams has replaced Powerpoint as my most hated MS software product.

The only way I now use Teams is from the browser. And even then, as others have said, I keep a prepared Zoom link ready in case everything goes to s*t.
The problem isn’t with Electron. Electron is really fast. It isn’t even with voice or video or whatever. Those are native DLLs/libraries with good codecs if you have the desktop app installed.

No. The problem is that Teams was rushed to market a few years back to compete with Slack and whatnot. Using Angular.js (that’s right, not Angular 2+ which was already available). Years passed. Stuff keeps getting added. It’s still Angular.js.

>`GET /api/v1/employees/100/devices/1` where the employee with ID 100 does not exists but there is a device with the ID 1 owned by some other employee?

So you're asking for the device with id 1 owned by employee 100. The answer is that the device exists but is not owned by employee 100 because there's no employee 100. So return 200 plus however you want to represent "the device exists but is not owned by employee 100 because there's no employee 100".

>`GET /api/v1/employees/100/devices/1000` where both the employee with id 100 and device with id 1000 does not exists?

The front porch is a "public" area, in the sense that there's no expectation of privacy.

Parent commenter is correct. The laws in your area are not the laws in every area. Some states and cities have restrictions on recording, even in public areas.

Illinois is one of the states with laws that prohibit many kinds of incidental audio recordings, while video is allowed. As was explained to me by a downstate communications lawyer, it's because the laws were passed by mobbed-up politicians before video was a thing, in order to protect mobsters from federal investigations.

Even today, when you see undercover recordings taken by local TV news stations in Illinois, there's never any audio.

Yes, I was thinking about that, as something like a TOTP. But that needs to be done via DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS or else the code can be sniffed by a MITM since the URL is sent in the clear, at which point you’re back to the problem of persistent TLS anyway.

Edit: In fact, nevermind. My thinking on that was flawed. I think you’re right, that should be fine, as long as the DNS is encrypted.

There's lots of money, but it doesn't go to developers. The big profits go to publishers. If you're selling tools to developers, you'd better hope they're able to pass the cost along to the publisher. If they can't, they're not going to be able to pay anything significant for your tools.
Due to the rising trend of people working remotely, some people might have never had any physical contact with the people they work with, all the way from interview up to signing the contract. It might be difficult for these people to verify that a startup is legit.

Jony says he felt "dispirited" by Tim Cook's lack of interest in design.

Jony's ideas about design caused apple to ship the non-functional butterfly keyboards for FOUR YEARS [1], as well as reducing the functionality of laptops by removing most ports and adaptors.

Now that he is gone, we have functional keyboards and ports again.

Designers will tell you that design is not only how something looks, but how it works. Where is the disconnect with the Jony Ive era of Mac hardware? He's a renown master of design, why doesn't it make sense!?

Why couldn't you use your regular mature C# profiler like you do anywhere else? It's officially supported. Both the mono profiler and JetBrains work.

> In case you use C++ you will be able to use mature profilers for C++ projects like built-in one in Visual Studio or Xcode, Valgrind on Linux or some 3rd-party solution like Intel XE Studio. All of them are just 10000% better than what Godot have at this moment.

>>For 2-party (all-party) states, you can't record audio on security cameras (or at least it's a bad idea, and likely illegal).

You can record audio in public, and a street facing audio recording is low risk, unless the microphone is so sensitive that there is an argument you are picking up audio from, for example, a neighbor's back yard. I think a sign indicating audio and video recording is sensible.

That said, a backyard facing camera has real risks about the video and certainly the audio coverage. A reasonable person would not use audio recording and would carefully manage coverage to exclude neighbor's private spaces.

>MacBook Pro 16" i9 with 16GB RAM every day. This was supposed to be the most kick-a$$ laptop at the time

Firstly that entire era of MacBooks is hot garbage, literally. The case can’t handle the heat the processor creates. Even for basic tasks they all sucked and were probably the poorest performing Macs in multiple decades.

But here’s the real issue, end of the day there is no incentive for devs to build proper performant Mac apps anymore. The sheer cost and team required to ship one of these natively as well as on top of the iPhone and iPad apps which again require custom work each is absurd compared to just shipping a chrome wrapper that doesn’t seem to impact the success of an app at all, hard to name a popular Mac app these days that isn’t just a chromium wrapper, outside of video/audio/3D software.
At one point I thought slack is bad, until I worked for a company that used teams. Never again!
I think this is all on Microsoft's shoulders. I have an M1 Max machine, an i9 machine and a PC with an i7 and Teams runs equally horribly on all platforms. I would say that I have "less" issues on the M1 Max but I don't think it has anything to do with the machine itself other than it's more powerful than the others so can handle it.

At Clerk, (https://clerk.dev, auth SaaS) we did a ton of work to get magic links to play nice with multiple devices, it's certainly a pain, and there's tradeoffs.

The crux of it is, do you sign in the "originating" device (where the magic link was sent from), or the "consuming" device (where it was clicked).

Because it's veryyy common for people to be on a website on their computer, then click the link on their phone, but still want to be logged into their computer. We opted for the "originating" device. But this has security concerns.

(you also need to worry about multiple tabs on the same browser, but cookies make this easy to deal with)

But, what if an attacker just sends a link to loads of email addresses, and one of the receivers clicks on it by accident? Their account now has been taken-over.

So, this needs to be combined with the notion of "trusted devices", and of course, not breaking what the user expects. All in all, a TON of work to get some marginal gains in some sectors, mainly B2C. IMO, B2B should always have passwords as an option. 1Pass is too widely used to ignore.
To give you a serious answer in case you were really wondering: nothing. Capsaicin stimulates the sensory receptors used for evaluating temperature and makes them react to temperatures under your body temperature. It tricks your nervous system into thinking the part is burning. It lasts as long as the intermediary protein used to transfer this information is available. When it’s depleted you just feel numb which what happened here. It all goes back to normal once capsaicin has been naturally eliminated by the body and the intermediary protein stocks are restored.

> which means Minecraft is a rogue-like

No, it means you don't understand what a roguelike is. (and since you've been fooled, I don't blame you)

> rogue-like was effectively hijacked from the beginning.

Not at all. Rogue came out around 1980, and birthed the genre almost immediately. Hack was released in 1982. NetHack in 1987. Angband in 1990. Ancient Domains of Mystery in 1994. Linley's Dungeon Crawl in 1997. DoomRL since 2002. In 2008, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup ranked as the #1 roguelike. Brogue started in 2009. Caves of Qud in 2015. And Cogmind has been in development before 2017. These are just the ones I know about, but they clearly represent a descent from Rogue. Play any of them and it's obvious what they have in common - not just randomization and permadeath but also turn-based tactics.

If my memory serves me right, it was Spelunky in 2008 that was really the first game to "borrow concepts from roguelikes" and place them in a decidedly non-roguelike context. Note that Spelunky never advertized itself as a roguelike. It is now tagged as such by users on Steam, but even its creator knew it wasn't in the genre.

I don't know who or why was inspired to start misusing the term roguelike so heavily since then, but it's become a plague.

You explained it yourself, you just shrug, downvote the comment for not being relevant, and move on. I assure you this happens quite frequently without any outrage or anger of any kind.

It's not much of a big deal and as HN etiquette goes, you should refrain from complaining about downvotes:
