I'm curious why you think this sort of conversation would only happen between wealthy people.

The other aspect to consider is that to have deep conversations, you essentially need 95% reading 5% actual discussing because the depth can be pretty high on most topics.

To give a practical example: you can have a deep and touchy convo about the place of religion in life, but in all likelihood every argument you will come up with will have already been written about in far more depth elsewhere. By the very nature of the medium and its history you are only going to have the illusion of depth if you only seek to have conversations as you are describing.

It would also be a good idea to carefully consider what you consider touchy. Chances are, it's just normal things to think about for your demographic. For instance, HN readers like to talk about controlling the masses, large future trends, and revel in the forbidden aspect of discussing this sort of thing. But in reality, population control and an 'architect' view of their place in the world has been a normal feature of the well-to-do classes for pretty much forever.
Some people on HN farm for karma points. They frequently post Wikipedia articles. It seems somewhat effective.

There are certain topics that attract a bit of quick attention.
Edit: as if to illustrate the below, someone found a more specific third-party article so we've since switched the URL. More at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32890671.

Happens all the time! https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

It's a good practice not to link to wikipedia.org when a more in-depth or specific third-party source is available, or if the topic is a well known one (too generic). But that leaves a lot of Wikipedia pages on more obscure topics, and those make fine HN submissions, as long as the topic is of intellectual interest and not particularly correlated with other things. And as long as we don't overdo it.

The return to location animation helps here. Drag one animal and the one underneath is available to drag. Probably not very accessible but actually a fun, possibly unintentional, mechanic. Can also drag to see location icon underneath.
Argh! It's Rick rolling me!
There was a "Sundial" that I'm very pleased was never built.

"Sundial" was the codename for a 10 gigaton H-bomb design produced by Edward Teller and his team - the gigaton primary being called "Gnomon". There was no military value in these monsters - they would have been enormous (probably thousands of tons) and would need to be detonated at extreme altitude.

Sorry for stupid question, what is infinite complexity in analog circuit ? Any examples/model ?

Nearly everyone I know doing side projects from YT channels to ebooks to WP plugins to mobile apps to games has started without being incorporated. None of them use Paddle or ever encountered problem that required them to.

Paypal has supported personal accounts since the 90s. Stripe supports personal accounts. Google/Apple/Amazon/MS/Steam/Gumroad and others will all work individuals as well as businesses.
Don't listen to all these people talking about various trendy frameworks, react, preact, typescript, hypescript and sh*tescript. Just keep it simple.

jest, mocha, jasmine, karma...why do I need to write unit tests, my code is freaking perfect \s

It's just pure cargo culting, most people don't know what they're talking about. You would be surprised how many people in front end don't even know that typescript has to be compiled into javascript.
This is all fine and good but…

What are their signatures going to look like? Or is the plan for everything to be DocuSign Lucida Handwriting?
1) I'm always wary of something that is mature that has documented and extensive historical issues being handwaved away with "it's all fixed in this or the next release"

2) in light of that your comment is unintentionally hilarious. C++ became a syntax swamp 15 years ago and it is getting worse every release. I anticipate it getting worse as rust, a hilarious syntax soup in its own right, continues to march forward.
Not a big deal? Huh? My mum doesn't know what apps I have installed, why should TikTok?
I would say that you should build the MVP, as a side project only. Take care that what you do won't use any company resource to build. Don't quit until you are sure this will work, or you are going to burn a very well paid bridge.

Unless you are building a deep-tech product (blockchain, AI stuffs), try to put together your project using pre-made parts. I'd recommend taking a look at Low-code/No-code tool. When you have validated your product against the market, you can then quit and focus full time on the project.

I have personally help a few startup firms build their MVP using those pre-made parts to validate their idea. Some of them works, but for those failed, they didn't waste too much time and money on it. Those ideas that work, they quickly turned to a full-fledged solution and ditched the MVP.

About the legal aspect, I think that unless the contract really specifies the IP laws, I think it's gonna be alright. Maybe consult a Lawyer about it?
Disappointed not to see anything about Blendo, a 500rpm spinner from the mid and late 90s which, despite having a poor drive system, caused so much damage that it was twice disqualified due to insurance liability. Blendo was designed by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, who as we all know went on to do nothing of importance. As I understand it, Blendo had a profound impact on the design of later robots.

My original point was that, in regard to the ancestor comment “We'll still use that 0.5% for something else, right? It's not as if power generation (and emissions) will be reduced.”, yes it’ll be used, and no it most likely won’t be reduced. It will be exported to Germany (or some other country with a drastic electricity shortage) and used there instead.
Wouldn't "creative manager" (I don't know what it means but it sounds high-up) have salary within the same order of magnitude?
I store both passwords and 2FA in an automated software. 2FA seeds can be exported (eg. when moving to a new phone).

the categorization makes some minimal sense, but basically any additional not-identical "factor" is additional security (though there's obviously a diminishing return because of the complexity-vs-security trade off).
Deep in the article the Investors names are revealed. You can find who they are.

Investing $85 million and valuing a company $275 million in an economy of $275 billion. I cannot comprehend what the VCs were thinking, but if some who is seasoned in VC-land could chime, that would be helpful.

What a great idea for a web app. The no-nonsense description sparks interest without any tricks.
It doesn't detract from the value of the final game, and may even be a bit of unintentional viral marketing (I had no idea a new game was in development). Could be good for Rockstar?
Once you get it, it's one of those games that give good vibes.
> This business unit has a pretty aggressive roadmap as management and HQ has no real understanding of these blockers.

> Resistance to change is huge.

These 2 quotes tell me they haven't yet recognized the grave danger and pain of their complexity. They will eventually, but for now neither management nor the team seem open to the radical change which they desperately need. Eventually collapse will come, but for now it's a no-win situation for you. Unless the money is insanely good and worth the stress, best path is to get the heck out.

What industry and type of business is this?
GTA has incredible breadth. There are lots of things to do in a big open world. But everything is also incredibly shallow.

That's more or less what you expect. Resources are finite, and unless you're Tarn Adams you generally chose to make a couple very complex things, or a lot of fairly simple ones. Sometimes you get depth from the interaction of simple things, but GTA rarely does
Would I as a phone user be notified of that when I install the app?
Smooth UI and I can actually try it without an account, that looks promising. I guess I'll add Vikunja to my to-do list ;)
Basically click and drag the animals. The "paths" have conditionals that must be met by having any animal on the symbol to "unlock" the road.
There is some confusion about what a symbol is in Julia due to bad tutorial information floating around the web. Here is Stefan Karpinski’s masterful explanation of what a Symbol really is:

The youth of today don't remember the Cold War. What you describe was standard practice from say, 1950 until 1995. The Commies were invincible, yet weakened by false ideology, infinite in number, but always needing more converts, dangerously industrial, yet forced to copy US designs.

This is merely a common propaganda practice. Don't give it more significance than it deserves.
I'm sure if there's a survival benefit then they'll learn fast enough...
I largely agree with this approach, but with 2 important changes:

1) "Next, make it possible to spin service up locally, pointing at production DB."

Do this, but NOT pointing at production DB. Why? You don't know if just spinning up the service causes updates to the database. And if it does, you don't want to risk corruption of production DB. This is too risky. Instead, make a COPY of the production DB and spin up locally against the COPY.

2) OP mentions team of 3 with all of them being junior. Given the huge mess of things, get at least 1 more experienced engineer on the team (even if it's from another team on loan). If not, hire an experienced consultant with a proven track record on your technology stack. What? No budget? How would things look when your house of cards comes crashing down and production goes offline? OP needs to communicate how dire the risk is to upper management and get their backing to start fixing it immediately.
This happened to be the catalyst for Apple locking down this functionality on iOS.

What content? There is literally more content, and more thoughtful content, here on HN in response to the article!
Do you actually do professional software development ? Even huge tech companies fail development projects spectacularly, non-tech companies trying to develop business critical software when superior alternative is available at reasonable prices ? You'd have a self inflicted competitive disadvantage. With first you might have a recruiting gimmick.
Plenty of people are giving you tech advice and they are great but here is the reality:

Unless you have power at the executive level, or are brought in as an expensive consultant to make big changes , you are wasting your time.

I would tell you to stick around and shovel shit just to take cash home but from your post it doesn’t sound like you are happy there to begin with.

What you are seeing here is a symptom of leadership not valuing engineer so trying to improve this requires a culture change from the top which is highly unlikely from where you stand.

If the pay is really good, you might consider sticking with it for a bit and then move on. However if you feel like it will push you towards burnout, abandon ship ASAP.

My younger self would have stayed and tried to be the unsung hero but now that I’m older I chuckle at that foolishness.

Don’t be the silent hero.
Myself and a lot of my friends grew up with typing classes in middle school (in addition to growing up with cursive classes but in different years). It does seem the make a pretty big difference - even my mediocre 80 wpm is much faster than a lot of people of I meet.
You'd be surprised by the level of consciousness of e.g. octopuses.
cd is a good example of something that has to be a built-in command, because it makes the shell itself do something (change its current working directory). Other commands in that category are umask, the job control ones (fg, bg, wait, ...), the ones setting variables (read, printf), and the control flow ones (if, while, break, return, exit, ...).

A lot of commands are also built-in for convenience but don't strictly need to be.
So…when you then own a large successful company you’ll have to deal with 1 additional lawsuit from someone who thinks they have some ownership stake?

You should be so lucky.
Sorry you have no clue what are you talking about. I was writing with a cursive and those are exactly my experiences with it. The faster you will attempt to write, the faster it will start fusing into waves until you have only mmm mmmmm mmmmmm mmm mm like a Russian shorthand. Abandoned cursive and started using computer-like letters. Using it until today with my notes.
I'd say that part of this is the influence of globalisation that makes certain things that used to be acceptable no longer acceptable. You can see this with a lot of regional delicacies. For example, my grandfather from Normandy used to eat camembert only after it developped maggots, no one I know nowadays does that, nor can I find any reference of people doing this online. People in Caen used to eat Pork lung (mou de porc), it's now very hard to find anywhere. It's also the same in Central Mexico with the popularity of eating Escamoles diminishing (but that's also partly due to the price since it's not a cheap ingredient) but it's still not particularly difficult to find restaurants serving it and it's not only for tourists. There's a lot of examples like this of regional food that have fallen out of favour.

From what I've learned when talking to friends in Thailand, it's the same with insects, it's a rural food (but not from hill tribe people or minorities just from less urbanised parts of Thailand), that's fallen out of favour with the upper middle class. That doesn't mean that only foreigners eat it, there are plenty of locals who eat it, it's just less common than it once was and is becoming less and less common.

In the case of grasshopper and cricket, you're right it's fried and food that goes well with alcohol but that doesn't mean that there's not taste or that it doesn't taste good. Crickets definitely have a very distinctive flavour and one that fits well with drinks in the same way that chips can be nice with apéritifs.
It can’t be that exciting if the writer has to lead with an anecdote about a Mute button.
I did the same as you, switched to block printing notes, but then found I was out of practice at writing quickly for exams.
By the way, I'd argue that price controls might work: not economically, but politically.

Economics education (at least in the United States) is (IMO intentionally) beyond abysmal. The percentage of people that can reason out that restricting the prices of a desired good can cause shortages is a minority.

And the media is lazy beyond sin and doesn't go in-depth into issues at all or push back against dumb claims.

If a politician wanted to fight tomato prices and went and said "The price of tomatoes is too high and those greedy fatcat corporations aren't going to make unlimited profit if you want to make your family a pizza so we're setting a maximum ceiling on tomato prices" the media would print that and praise them with minimal pushback and the people would view them as a hero for cutting tomato prices, even if finding a tomato in a store subsequently became just about impossible.
Not showing you ads for apps you already own seems like a sensible feature, at least.
Every time you use the word "unconstitutional", it should be prefaced by "IMO".

> the point of this law is to get around a federal law. States can't do that, that's the point of the supremacy clause.

How many states have made marijuana legal despite federal law?
Idk what you can do with streaming services, but old-school VLC users can dodge „whisper and explosions“ by turning dynamic compression to the max.

In theory one can use systemwide in-line effects with something like AU Lab to the same end, but that's kind of a pain at least on Mac, mostly because virtual audio devices like ‘Blackhole’ tend to not work. Perhaps the paid ‘Loopback’ does work, dunno.

Also funny how USians complain en masse about volume too loud (with the trademark ‘shaking the house’), when with a simple pair of desktop speakers it would be physically impossible to have that problem. Man buys big speakers, surprised to discover that they provide loud sound.
All commercial app stores make exceptions for giants like Tiktok, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, and anyone else profitable enough. If either Apple or Google were punishing all apps equally for behaviour that goes against the ToS, Facebook and Tiktok would've been killed years ago.

If Google kicks Tiktok out of the app store then that's going to cost them sales. They need to maintain an attractive platform more than they need to uphold the terms of service.

Apple risked banning Fortnite because the company started going into a direction that could cost them billions. The choice to ban is really no more than a calculation based on the cost of a lawsuit plus the probability of losing multiplied by the loss of revenue of said loss.
He claims to have a PhD in engineering, a PhD should mean a higher standard of rigor than other engineers.
Just want to say the amount of amazing work that goes into this project is fantastic. They've taken the original Digital Research x86/PC GEM/GEMDOS sources and.. reworked them to basically duplicate all the work Atari did back in 1984/85 on their ST/68k port. Plus bug fixes. Plus pretty much all the feature work Atari did after that. Plus modernizing the code generally. Plus their own new features. Plus making it work on ColdFire systems (eval boards & the Firebee). Plus making it work on the Amiga and other 68k systems. All the while keeping it compatible, fitting in a 192k ROM.

It started as a ROM image for ST emulators (hence the name) but has actually become an excellent open sourced GPL'd GUI operating system for 68k computers, obviously especially the Atari ST.

It's a labour of love and the project maintainers do a great job. It's better than Atari's original ROM TOS while still maintaining absolutely excellent compatibility.
It absolutely works in B2B. Why would it not? Nothing prevents you from talking to potential customers about an idea you have with a slide deck.
> the file name / metadata of every file you create on your system is transferred to their servers (either as part of their "cloud" feature or under the terms of their malware detection system)

Did they only sell to Pakistan? If they did or could have sold into other markets then the size of the Pakistan economy doesn't seem that relevant.
It's also getting more and more locked down on Android too.

You phrased the question as an exclusion between two non-exclusive options.

Before kids, I filled it with socialising, reading, sports, movies and personal projects (computer, home, car, bike...): it all mostly happened "naturally", never resulting in loneliness or isolation.

After kids... what void?
Short answer --- politics.

The same reason the Soviet Union failed to develop a competitive economy.

The same reason Russia has failed to develop an effective military.

A dictatorship is only as effective as it's leader allows it to be. If the leader/dictator only accepts answers that fit his/her narrow viewpoint, the overall results may not be a reflection of reality but rather a distortion of it.
That's a very culturally blind comment. You're from a culture where it's not common and not accepted, that doesn't mean that it's the same for everyone. So you're taking your own assumptions from your culture and trying to apply it to everyone.
A few days ago I installed Icewind Dale 2 EE (a community project with many improvements) and dived into it. I played BG and PST but was never into the more action oriented IWD. Hopefully this time I can finish it.
I cope by only using tech that has been battle tested, solves a problem and proven to last for a long time to come.

Most people still use REST APIs. GraphQL is cool, sure. But it solves a very particular problem. Why use it if you don't need it? Same goes for old standards like SOAP. If it still works then no point in changing it. They all do pretty much the same thing anyway.

I've not even heard of trpc. goes and check. It's only 2 years old, that's why. What problem does it even solve? Types? We have OpenAPI for that.

From what I can see, new tech only become mainstream if it solves a problem. trpc may make things nicer to use, but since it doesn't solve a problem that's not already solved, it'll probably never get big enough to be mainstream.

Compare this to Typescript. Its first version was 2012. I started using it around 2019. 7 years after it was released. Was it doing something new? No. It's bringing static type checking to JS. In fact, I would argue that it makes the language feels more similar to existing languages like C# and Java.

Did it solve a problem? Definitely. Many people want static type checking. And here we are in a Typescript world.

Same goes with SSR/SSG, hydration, routing, etc. They solve a very particular problem. If you don't have that problem, no point in using it. Most websites still uses PHP and work just fine.
It is a hard problem because there are so many side channels and apps keep swapping over to use those. And then it becomes a policy and review challenge, which is tricky to nail correctly every time.

Another quick reward effect you could do to avoid flashing colors is to make the animals jump up and down, as if they’re happy to get their food
I used to watch movies on an absurdly excessive 3000-watt sound system, equipped with dual 18" subwoofers... but I never bothered to get a surround decoder.
For an astute investor it matters even if global expansion is on cards in the future.
I watch Netflix with captions on and the sound low or muted, so I can multitask reading other things. It's easier to follow parallel streams of text than voice and text at the same time.
Yeah tbh undergraduate calculus courses are really not that difficult.
I think Fed reports and papers are both good sources. All major central banks and IMF publish numerous reports and papers every year.

Other than that, books about economic history e.g. how Gold Standard worked could also be interesting.
