I think getting the high score for a 40-year-old arcade game is a perfectly fine hobby and a fine thing to take pride in. Certainly, if you check Twitch, record competition in single-player games draws plenty of viewership. The most popular games are somewhat less old (usually NES era and onwards), and it’s usually in the form of speedrunning rather than high score competition, but it’s the same general idea.

Cheating is different, of course. But I interpret your comment as dismissing the activity itself.
For personal projects you should learn how to make TS shut up. I’ve found TS useless on the front end for many places… but for state and utility libraries it’s nice. Hence don’t aim for complete strictness.
From the comments:

> babe wake up, a new keenan crane lecture just dropped.

First time I hear about Keenan Crane, but gosh, from now on, I'll keep an eye for videos produced by him. Like I keep an eye out for 3Blue1Brown, Mathologer and Veritasium. Now Keenan Crane is on that list. Except, he's a bit higher.
It's more or less a nonstarter in tornado-prone areas.

From https://www.weather.gov/jan/swpw_mhsafety :

> Mobile homes are not a safe shelter when tornadoes threaten. NOAA and FEMA recommend that mobile and manufactured home residents flee their homes for sturdier shelter before storms with tornadoes hit. On average, a total of 72 percent of all tornado-related fatalities are in homes and 54 percent of those fatalities are in mobile homes.

I don't know the percentage of people who live in mobile homes, but I'm sure it's nowhere close to 54%.
It is not just when there is a post about a new product or project. More broadly for ANY post here, the top comment and most comments will generally claim the opposite of what the original post presents is true (or some variation of that).

I would say mainly it is just the need for some people to feel good about themselves that they know better, or to try to show that they are smarter than the author of the post (so that again, they can feel better about themselves).

Don't take the comments too seriously. A lot of people think they are smarter than they actually are.

And next time notice, whatever the post is, when you click to view the comments expect the top one to have a contrarian view.

EDIT: As an example, as of right now, this post is the top post on HN. The second top post on HN?

Upon further thought, looking at the bright side (less cynical), I guess this does help give a more balanced view of the topic as you get to quickly see both sides of a story. But it's still kind of funny that this consistently happens.

We may argue that Windows Firewall (and macOS) by default already do that. On Linux, I usually set nftables like such on all my machines, but it's trivial for "user friendly" distros to ship sane defaults for nftables.

What scares me a lot is that lots of folks out there still rely on iptables, and do not realize that they need ip6tables to set IPv6 tables - I dread of the moment some random ISP will push IPv6 routes, SLAAC picks up an IPv6 on a random Linux box and that box gets instantly pwned because it has no ip6tables rule whatsoever blocking inbound traffic.
A few people have mentioned Apollo 11 but I prefer (and my favorite documentary of all time is) For All Mankind (1989). They’re similar, iirc they share a lot of the same footage, but For All Mankind gives you a great sense of what it was like for those early astronauts to take that trip to the Moon. It has all the best footage of the moon we have ever taken. For All Mankind is a must, but both are worth a watch if you’re a space fan.

Crumb is also pretty good. It’s about an offbeat artist and gives you the look into the mind of someone that wouldn’t normally be in the spot light.
Most synthetic fuels require 4-5 times more electricity to create than just charging an EV battery.

Unless someone makes huge leaps in the process, that's really not an option.
> "We can thus take the time to live in history as God’s people who have nothing more important to do than to *have* and care for children."

I think this statement is very problematic, especially if you want to be inclusive to the childless or celibate. In the end, it's not an applicable answer for everyone. It's only an answer for those who have already subscribed at some level to that belief, thus I find it unsatisfactory.

> I think some choices in Euclidea are too restrictive (e.g. collapsible compass, inability to draw arcs).

Collapsible compass is not a choice of Euclidea, but a choice of Euclid. (Although, of course, one of the first things Euclid proves is that you can simulate a rigid compass with a collapsible compass: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_equivalence_theorem.)
Yes, you're right. Thanks for the correction. I was thinking of the Windows C ABI.

You didn't explicitly say this, but for anyone who might misinterpret your comment to imply that any memory-unsafe should be specifically targeted at certain small domains:

A vast swath of the programming world doesn't need the level of memory safety that Rust has: apps and webapps are generally sandboxed and only talk to a trusted first-party domain, and games don't need memory safety if they're single player, or even multiplayer co-op against AI. There are a lot of aspects of the industry like this.

We do need memory safety in any case that receives untrusted input (for security reasons), cases that handle multiple users' data (for privacy reasons), and safety critical software. There are plenty more cases like these too. Languages like Rust (or even more memory-safe languages) are a stellar choice for this side of the programming world, but not necessarily the other side.

Creating simple languages to serve the purposes best served by simple languages is a good thing, and I celebrate and applaud Odin and Zig for that. It's up to the individual developer to make a responsible choice based on their situation, and any developer that uses the wrong language for the wrong situation is indeed guilty of lowering the bar.
There is an example in Mathematica [1] that illustrates a similar point using Rock-Paper-Scissors game. It uses a very simple strategy to predict human opponent [2], but it appears to work well. (Although, at the moment the demonstration does not seem to be working at all (I tried it in Firefox and Chrome)).

This is an often repeated, but completely false observation. The reality is that Cirrus and Diamond dominate the market for new piston singles [1]. If you want to buy a piston aircraft with the latest safety features, performance, comfort and training, then Cirrus is the number one choice. Cirrus has the number 1, 3 & 6 top selling aircraft (all have the same airframe and avionics with different engines) and thus dominates new sales.

The Cirrus SF50, which was the subject of this story, is the top selling light jet by a large margin too for many of the same reasons. It provides the best safety features, technology, comfort and price - though admittedly it does sacrifice performance to achieve the other attributes. This is aviation and everything is a collection finely balanced trade-offs.

The thing with creativity is that it is not just "inventing things out of thin air". It's picking thru the vast archives of things we've seen and did our brain has and applying it in different way.

Guided building is basically filling that archive with ideas that can be used or changed

"Theme of the day" or just "pick a theme for me" might be interesting, but so is just getting some random schematic that might not even fit in what you'd search for in the first place
Pay bands are relatively narrow. The only way to a serious raise is promotion.
That is, companies are a meritocracy as long as "merit" means "making your bosses happy".
Yeah, you bring up a good point. Morels are usually found around elms and ash trees that are quite dead and shedding bark. I have had good success when finding a dead standing tree or one that fell and has been rotting a season or two.

I also hunt chicken-of-the-woods and dryad saddles which honestly are much easier to find and are, at least in my opinion, easier to cook and use. Dryad saddles are very nice as they have a fresh cucumber like taste. Need to get them 'young' when they are still spongy and not woody.
What you describe above is not what the article is describing.

To be honest the author doesn't do a great job at explaining the difference between meaningful dirty work, eg work that needs to get done in order to actually move the company forward, but nobody at the current company can do it, and trying to resurrect abandonware with no coherent vision or power.

The latter will almost always lose (I've been in similar positions) whereas you can indeed build a serious career around the former.
Interesting! We definitely still had a pile of audio tapes laying around but they belonged to my mom.

Our family was gifted a CD player in 94 or 95, and all my music that I purchased with my allowance from that point was on CD, even though the unit had 2 tape decks. Mom only bought CDs from that point as well. Then when I got my first car in 01, I installed a radio that was CD only, no tape deck.

> And the same batteries can easily be given a second life, after degrading too much for car use and before refurbishment/recycling to make them suitable for car use again, as fixed batteries.

This is the thing people tend to forget. Even if a battery is "useless" for an EV, meaning that it has degraded to 60-70%, it still has 25-50kWh of usable capacity as-is.

And that's enough to run a house for 12-48 hours depending on how power-hungry your appliances are.
I wrote myself a Chrome extension that does this, using http://l/foo style links, and using Chrome's sync to share across devices. Works well enough but limited to desktops.

It combines two things that appeal two large camps of developers, ML style and performance. I even think that its memory safety isn't that the main attractive point. It's like a language that's aim to sell both ML family and C guys, and that's over 50% of volume of devs' voice.
This is really it right here. I actually find it amazing that such a significant percentage of people don’t actually understand what their job even is.

Your job is to work on what your manager wants done. It’s that simple.

Now if you have a bad mananger they may not be effective at communicating that to you. If that’s the case than it’s even easier to get ahead. You can be one of the few people that actually asks!
People tend to reply with what they know, and there’s no denying that React is incredibly popular. That said, pick any of the popular frameworks like React, Vue, Angular etc and it’ll be fine. There’s not really a huge difference between all of them.
10 year maintenance schedules are practically guaranteed to cause an outage.

If you have to perform a maintenance task once every 10 years, you will not remember to do it (reminder mechanisms are not really designed and tested for such long intervals).

It’s also extremely unlikely that all the business entities involved will still be in their current form. It’s possible that the new business will have lost the information reach out to you to remind you. You might have moved, changed email or phone numbers.

You might have died, your family depends on the domain, and they lose their email one day because the MX record expired.

The whole industry can change in just a few years; 10 year renewal seems like a bad idea to me.
> Except they won't do that, since that would harm adoption of their font.

Is it because it would harm adoption or because it's infeasible? You can download copyrighted images and use them for your own profit, copy github code with GPL code for your closed-source project, or sign pretty much any contract (say for a car or a house) without actually reading it. Just because there is no safeguard to ensure you are really read what you "agreed" to, doesn't mean it's unenforcable.

Moreover, the terms are very simple (1.5 pages) - hardly some "weird terms" to define how you are allowed to redistribute intellectual property.
There's already a lot of good advise here. One other thing you could consider is the financial stability of the new place. Is there any data available that suggests its a stable place (stable customer base and stable revenue) and will likely not be affected by the recession as much? Or is it a business which depends more on external hype and capital to stay alive? The latter would be more risk, but in the end both things can work out well or fail.
While on a com, net, org the US government can take your domain from you at any moment for any reason?

Don't see much of a difference there.
You say that like it’s bad thing.
I saw a 2-hour-long documentary about the Standard Model of particle physics, sometime around 1980. It was basically a presentation, by one man, with graphics (which were pretty good for back then). The presentation was sober, and completely free of gee-whizz hype. I think it must have been BBC.

As I remember it, it was a really good presentation of the discoveries that had recently been made in particle physics. I've spent hours searching archives, just to find a trace of evidence of this programme having ever been broadcast. Nothing. If I only knew the name of the presenter, that would help, because he wasn't a famous TV presenter; I believe he was a physicist. But the presenter's name is linked to the documentary - his name might be in the title.

I'd love to get a clue about how to track down this show.
most cases where an email must be sent from a specific address are probably something where a company emails a consumer to assure the consumer that the email is genuine.

there are mailing lists that i can only write to from a specific address, and maybe a bank has a process where i can initiate certain actions by emailing them, or doctors, etc. but those all should have ways to change that email address which should hopefully be possible by verifying the address by receiving a verification token.

in any case the number of situations where one must send email from a specific address should be a fraction of those where one must be able to receive email at that address.
As a beginner, the materials you use to draw are irrelevant, until you get to the higher levels. Honestly, I've done 90% of my drawing with just a standard commodity HB or #2 graphite pencil and various pens on scratch paper. If you're intent on going digital, I've had good experiences with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, their graphics input and rendering is extremely low-latency so it feels like drawing on paper. But you can start with any pressure-sensitive tablet and stylus.

Drawing is all about perceiving angles and distances more accurately, improving your eye-hand coordination, and lots of practice.

Start by practicing the basic forms:

- cubes

- triangular prisms

- spheres

- cylinders

Then start noticing that most objects consist of some combination of these shapes. Identify how you would subdivide an object you see into these shapes. Perhaps learn about the theory of 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional perspective:
https://www.artistsnetwork.com/art-mediums/learn-to-draw-per...

Next learn about value (light-dark) and start cross-hatching or shading your works. A good exercise is to draw a value scale: 10 squares in a row, ranging from pitch black to completely white. Make each square as uniform in color as possible, and the transitions from black to white as uniform as possible using only fine cross-hatching: https://www.thedrawingsource.com/value-scale.html

Next draw a sphere, paying attention to lighting:
https://www.thedrawingsource.com/shading-a-sphere.html

At this point, it's just a matter of practice. Carry your tablet or a sketchbook everywhere and just draw on a regular basis and ask artists for feedback (post on https://www.reddit.com/r/learntodraw/, there are people there who will help you).

A good introductory book is How to Draw What You See:
http://carlosdamascenodesenhos.com.br/wp-content/uploads/201...

Wish you all the best on your drawing journey, it's a very rewarding art, but requires a lot of practice and patience to get good at it!
Not 'fundamentally', but using one single point would probably be the main issue. Move the microphone 5cm and the response measured is going to be different. Dirac and manual methods with REW use multiple points and/or just moving the microphone around.
>There should be giant city-buildings with hundreds of thousands of dwelling spaces each with a large outdoor patio. A lot of problems like power distribution from certain powersources get resolved with this as well as many other resources like fresh water and fresh food (land is freed up for agriculture),waste disposal,transportation, medical care,etc...

This only works so long as they don't shade each other. Which means you end up with something like the Line from Saudi Arabia or ground level NYC where you're lucky to see the sun at noon.
I would consider it dishonest to promise your customers a certain uptime, knowing you likely won't meet it. And some customers, particular more lucrative ones, want to see historical uptime and/or evidence that you have a resilient architecture.

That is not at all to say that it is a deal breaker for everyone, but it certainly will be for some companies.

This kind of technology is as important for space industrialization as it is on Earth.

The atmosphere of Mars, for instance, is rich in carbon dioxide. Ethylene is a versatile feedstock for making plastics, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. Carbon captured from the Martian atmosphere would be a precious resource, not a waste product.

I think the best space manufacturing scenario is a factory that converts a carbonaceous and wet asteroid into to plastic films that are coated with metal or silicon to make L1 sunshades for geoengineering, solar sails, photovoltaic arrays, etc. That kind of asteroid has carbonate rocks, "coal" and maybe even some trapped hydrocarbons which is somehow going to get upcycled to ethylene and other bulk chemicals, even edible synthetic fats, certainly you are going to get CO2 as a byproduct of chemical reactions which has to be recycled back into chemical feed stocks.

> A server installed with half-decent care can run uninterrupted for a long long time, given minimal maintenance and usual care (update, and reboot if you change the kernel).

For my earlier home setups, this was actually part of the problem! My servers and apps were so zero-touch, that by the time I needed to do anything, I'd forgotten everything about them!

Now, I could have meticulously documented everything, but... I find that pretty boring. The thing with Docker is that, to some extent, Dockerfiles are a kind of documentation. They also mean I can run my workloads on any server - I don't need a special snowflake server that I'm scared to touch.
I think there is some similarity between information security and Rust community; there had been the elephant in the room, and they were the first to actively acknowledge and get rid of it. Since it was long neglected by others, the elimination of the elephant---vulnerability or memory bugs---can be seen as the utmost goal to some (but not all) of them. Others will complain, but as those others were mostly who neglected the elephant from the beginning, their complaints are mixed, some reasonable, some not. It's clear that this situation is far from being ideal, both for who are aware of the elephant and not, but I'm not sure how to mend this gap in understanding.
The author mentions documentation as an example of dirty work that you could grind as a way to "build your career". Personally I enjoy writing documentation and I make an effort to write documentation in every project I work in, and I'm yet to see a single project where that work would have been valued. Nobody cares if you write great documentation. It's not a way to "build your career". I stopped reading the article at this point.
