I wouldn't say it was a negative comment but I also wouldn't say the comment's assessment was correct. "Nothing Metroidvania about it" is plainly false. "Typical run and jump platformer"... wouldn't agree there, either. This is closer to Metroid or Castlevania than say, Donkey Kong or Super Mario.

Even the atmosphere. It had - dark themes, 'creepy, dungeon' music, Skeletons, Spike traps, Spiders, and the Map screen we've seen since SOTN.

Lastly, you can start a comment however you like that doesn't make the comment that way. I could say, "Great work! For a worthless pile of garbage like yourself" and I don't think anyone could argue that because I started off my saying, 'Great work' that the comment was positive, maybe that it was supportive! (But again, I don't think the comment was negative, no matter how much I disagree with it)
No, but only because TikTok is outperforming it in its niche.

Counterpoint: contemporary social media streams, married to surveillance, absolutely has taken over the world, in most senses that matter; in terms both of mind-share and more importantly, in terms of the shaping of beliefs and hence actions.

Spend some time (in social media and its hangers on, natch..) amid groups monitoring things like the consumption of the American right by Q Anon and militia, and who funds and drives this, and (to the extent it is bring prized out and analyzed) how and it is IMO very clear that the world as understood by and acted in by a great many people is for all practical purposes steered (if "only" stochastically) via social media.

The tools for doing that today require craft and human innovation and effort. My point is that the need for human oversight is going to be chipped relentlessly away even as the efficacy of the outcomes increases and the cost of competing in the mindshare market decreases.

But admittedly breathless yes from excitement, and also, creeping alarm. The timescale doesn't justify the increase in pulse rate, admittedly.

But the projection does and I stand by it...
Lord no. I was surprised that it was as high as 30%. I was always taught to aim for no more than 20% and that was for industrial products that sold in relatively low volumes.
I'm considering it for foreign payments, but what I'm looking for is really a good API for ACH, Wire etc. because different freelancers want to use different payment methods. Honestly if Mercury (which we have an account with) would just let us do International Wires through their API it would already make life easier, but for whatever reason they only condone ACH transfers through their API (even though the web UI uses an API for wires...). Even then though, I still have to deal with other freelancers who want to use another payment method. That's why I'm looking for the most complete service out there in terms of financial system integration. The OP's service looks appealing to me because it says "ACH transfers", "Wire transfers", and "Real-Time Payments". That covers quite a portion of what freelancers want, unlike e.g. Wise, which is a single method. I'll keep doing my research for now.
Locality means make a lot of comments in the same threads. Note that it will make close contacts people that agree a lot and also people that disagree a lot.

I'd try using the 2nd and 3rd eigenvector of the Laplacian of gtaph. I heard a lot of good properties of them, but I never used them so I'm not sure how tricky is to get a nice graph. Something like https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3853424/what-does-t...

not OP but work in healthcare. The culture of leadership in healthcare is frustrating. It's very political with everyone having their own agendas and fiefdoms. Cap it off with ever changing Govt regulations and you end up with a never ending cycle of audits, crazy ideas, and projects that go no where because the vendors are so far behind they don't understand anything. For the last year I worked on a scheduling system that got absolutely nowhere, a million $ investment in surgery center equipment that was not compatible with our current software, and the always fun rotation of passwords on over 1000 servers in 3 months that were mostly manual because the vendors all charge for an SOW to do that (oh yeah this is a YEARLY activity).

Activision/Blizzard is not interested in making games anymore. They have settled on well-known formulas -- World of Warcraft, Diablo, loot systems, Call of Duties, etc -- and constantly rehash them for the big bucks. They don't give two shits about players or open letters. The Diablos are online because the DRM is just too good. The best thing a Diablo fan can do at this point is to turn away and not buy any of their shit anymore.
Why do we still have the RJ45 connectors at all?

I thought it wouldn't be long lived - but I once tried to put as much torque and pressure on that jack on an older/broken card - and I was amazed at how much abuse it took - I'm not even sure I was able to snap it off. Much more rugged than it appeared (though the cards died all the time - we had stacks of them).
Ask HN: Do any of you do any replay testing in a microservices environment?
Replay testing is when you replay production requests into your testing environment and compare corresponding responses for variances. It's a way to do regression testing that's a bit more black boxy but might end up being more comprehensive than your hand written test suite.

I have heard other companies do this, but haven't found good blog posts about how and what are the potential pitfalls. Especially in a microservices environment where there could be many data dependencies, so doing this kind of testing might be harder.
I should write a book honestly.

Please do! Turbo-C 1.5 and Borland C++ were two of my all time favorite programming tools.

Cisco poached all of the server sales team from HO when they launched UCS. This caused a major problem within Cisco because that HP sales team (and engineers) were so absolutely atrocious that it ruined Cisco internally for almost 10 years.

In fact, there are already a ton of AI websites jammed into the Google results now, they get huge millions of traffics per month, most people don't aware of this yet. That being said, Contentedge is lag behind those even if they do similar things.

I very much doubt that. There's a reason why innovation in games often happen, entertainment is not an easy problem to solve, with no set quantity to achieve
So when I buy an OLED TV, does the store procure it for half the price from the distributor?

Generally yes.

can the distributor force them to keep prices up not to upset the other resellers?

Retailers upsetting other retailers is called channel conflict and is often solved with minimum advertised price policies. High-end companies like Apple and Sony often have this policy which is why you see the same price everywhere.
My opinion of Jerry Pournelle was that he was very opinionated, and very arrogant. I enjoyed his writing style, although I wonder if it was his editor who encouraged him to recycle many phrases that he seemed to thing were cute.

I think he knew more than me about computers (not hard, because I was living in a hut in Africa, without running water or electricity, most of the time I was reading Byte), but much less than a lot of other people who could have written a better column.

I will echo this and share some context.

The biggest challenge I've had is that trade schools and certifications are inconsistent, so it's not easy to vet candidates; a lot of hiring is intra-island, requiring significant up-front investment in people without knowing that they'll work out; and equipment and regulations (especially electrical) are highly variable, making it hard for a crew to deliver consistent quality.

That context gives a lot of room for crews and contractors to take advantage of inexperienced project managers and investors, and since the corrupt teams aren't brought back they tend to be the ones which are available for the next gig. When you find a great team you treasure them and even find work to keep them busy and happy between projects.

It's actually a remarkably similar dynamic to H1B engineer mills in the US. Many H1B engineers are brilliant, the best of the world looking for a challenge in America. But many are pawns in outsourcing meat markets.
Even though it is my opinion, I don't agree that it's morally bankrupt to think otherwise. Agreeing on values is one of the hardest things to achieve.

Some people have a collectivist leaning, others an individualist leaning (and this can depend on a per-issue basis even within the same individual).

Some people think the morally correct goal is to save as many lives as possible in the short term, while others think individual autonomy and personal choice is more important. Some are in the middle, putting the threshold slightly lower or higher in either direction.

You and me simply lean more towards favoring personal autonomy and choice, at least on this issue apparently.

Luckily, our societies have evolved diplomatic methods to solve these conflicts of values, through the democratic process and pre-agreed on laws. Instead of going to useless war or leaning on force, we put the elected officials in charge of the decision on the effective policies, and each one looked at the tradeoffs, looked at their constituency, looked at the limited data available, and made a decision.

Last one is about acrylamide, which I believe there is little evidence to believe it's harmful (it's been a while since I've actually looked at studies on it), but I assume the conditions that produce it also end up producing compounds that can be harmful.

https://www.diyaudio.com/community/ is the main online forum. There's a fair bit of discussion over at parts-express.com's forums as well.

There's a variety of books out there. Sound Reproduction by Dr Toole is a very comprehensive reference to the big picture, but doesn't really get into speaker and crossover design specifically. There's other books you can find for that, but I'm unaware of the most recent good ones as I read most of this stuff decades ago. In that era the Vance Dickenson book was a big one.

The main reasons DIY can rival hifi are:
1. Good components are available to DIY builders. Yeah there's some proprietary stuff that's cool you can't get. But there's a ton of very top quality stuff you can get.
2. Retail hifi has insanely restrictive costs. They'll save every penny possible. So simply by buying better capacitors, etc, or using a slightly more complex crossover, or building a bigger box than is fashionable you can gain an edge.
3. The digital room correction systems offered on most home AV receivers today do a lot to fix simple flaws in DIY designs, giving more slack.
So if the factory is in business, the owner has an $11x asset. Otherwise, a $10x asset.

Some of the comments here make me want to read it again, but the first time through I got bored. It kept geeking out about recursion for so laboriously long that I felt like maybe it was written in a different time for people who hadn’t already studied thunks and y-combinators and quines in school. I’m sure it was a journey of discovery in the 70s, but it felt like a lot of the ideas that made it famous had already seeped into my education and spoiled the book for me. I’m not sure exactly how much of it I read, I thought maybe two thirds, and it sounds like I either didn’t read or didn’t understand some of the themes in the book.
Seems like you're speaking out of turn, and trying to pile in on some sort of weird meritless gatekeeping without doing any basic research first:

Ask HN: Foreign language learners, what's the workflow you find most effective?
My initial exposure to English was through video games. Then as a fifth-grader, I was sent to a private language school where I had group classes with other kids. However, being a kid as I was, I was never aware that the time would come when I would get to use what I learned in real life - otherwise, I would have invested a lot more energy into it. Now that I'm late in my 20s, I have a crystal-clear idea of why knowing a foreign language - such as English - is paramount. Hence, I want to put a more coordinated effort into studying languages.

Do you use applications (for example, Duolingo or, perhaps, some other less gamified app), or do you resort to more traditional methods such as group classes where you get to improve everything from speaking to listening to reading and writing?

How do you improve every aspect of your language skill (reading, listening, speaking, writing)?

What do you use for translating unfamiliar words and improving your vocabulary? Do you use wordlists?

Do you practice spaced repetition? Do you make your own flashcards?

Feel free to describe your workflow and the tools you use.
> I'd have good friends, no need to worry about political plots.

You'd have to worry about what you leave to your kids. "Prime and Prejudice" comes to mind. If you didn't have a male heir, your estate might go to some distant relative. Even if you had, your kids who were not your first born son would only inherit a tiny fraction of your wealth. One or two generations down the line, their offspring will be destitute.

I just wanted to say that this article fits with my personal experience so well, so refreshing. I love messing with code and different technologies, but mostly I really only want to please myself or family members with my creations. To be relieved of the need to feel professional in my endeavour is enlightening.
Well, most interesting properties about computer programs are, in general for all programs, undecidable (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice%27s_theorem). Undecidability is a closely related notion to unprovability (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undecidable_problem#Relationsh....
This is exactly the reason why.
I wasn't involved, but was hired shortly afterwards as sysadmin and witnessed the aftermath. Around the bubble-burst time a medium-sized website's code base was converted from Perl (out of fashion already) to Java (the hot new thing everyone was talking about). Thing was just, there weren't all that many expert Java programmers around and the remaining expert Perl programmers became utterly frustrated and disengaged. That was the first and only time that I encountered colleagues high on drugs at work (and could be certain of it). It was an ugly mess. The company was eventually acquired by its largest customer and withered for a few more years before finally being dissolved.
I understand the history and your argument. Saying the "only reason it exists is because of Henry VIII" ignores where it began. Henry did not alter very much except kicking off the papacy and allowing annulment. The real changes came later by Cramner and Cromwell's suggestion.

It's worth nothing the English Reformation happened in the same decade as Martin Luther's sola fide, the 1520s. Divine providence?

The pope didn't own it in 600AD, the pope didn't own it in 2000AD. The 1520s is not the cause of the CoE's existence, the start in 600AD is the start of the CoE (and before that, Christ).

The Roman Catholic, papal perspective is different.

yeah, it's quite typical that wholesale = 2x COGS and retail = 2x wholesale.

for high end stuff it's likely far higher. that $75 Intel AX210 WiFi 6e upgrade is likely a $5 part at wholesale in 10k quantities. upgraded op-amps for $100? probably $4 each on digikey or aliexpress (and thats already marked up from maybe $2 COGS)

I don't know if it is quite what you are looking for, but with the normal mathematical axioms, it isn't possible to prove whether or not the there are any sets with a cardinality between the cardinality of the natural numbers and the cardinality of the real numbers.

But one of those two must be true, you just can't prove it. Of course you can add a new axiom that allows you to prove one or the other (or accept one of those statements as an axiom), but you will still have other statements that you can't prove.
