That the language does not force you to use static analysis does not entail that it is not possible.

Where I work, most C code can not be checked in to source control until the CI bot is satisfied with the static analysis run. That's necessary because of C's separate compilation model: static anaylsis requires whole-program analysis to track aliasing.

Rust is a single tool that does (or may do, when opted-in) static analysis. It's not the first, not the only, and probably not the best. Other development environments use separate tools for separate operations. Engineering has always had its lumpers and dividers. Rust and Windows is for lumpers, C and Unix is for dividers.

Ask HN: What makes Wear OS watches and Apple watches run out of battery quickly?
I own a Mi Watch, and by deactivating some features, it can last me about a month on a single charge, I am wondering why Apple and Google can't achieve such autonomy with their operating systems, what makes their software consume more battery than Xiaomi's software ?
In my experience it's not just 20-somethings. I've sometimes started watching something with CC accidentally turned on, and then realized it made the clip/movie/whatever easier to understand. My parents use it as well, and it has nothing to do with hearing loss.
Apple iPhone Debut to Flop, Product to Crash in Flames (2007)
Sounds like there's no source control... So you should just pick things off bit by bit. Don't rewrite, especially when you have no process to roll-back.

- Source Control

- CI/CD process

- Lock down production so there's no access

- Kill off dead code

- Start organizing and refactoring

etc...

Edit: Alot of people have already said the above. But I want to add.

Just because code sucks and is messy, obscure, has no structure or breaks everything we learn as developers that define 'good code' or 'good coding practices'... does not really mean it's bad if its generating the business money.

It can often be quite fun to work on because everything is a win, performance, cost reduction, easier maintence, etc.
Separating Sports by Sex Doesn’t Make Sense
There is little WIP material released for blockbuster games like GTA because it’s useless for the studio. Rockstar doesn’t need to generate hype for the brand long before the game is ready to sell. They prefer a very large marketing push at release.

I can safely predict that this leak will have approximately zero impact on the actual sales of GTA VI however.
There was no source code leak here.
I've posted a reply to you sibling.
Nobody mentions Monitoring.

Ensure the beast is monitored, like staring with the basics, cpu, disk space and so on.

Then all goes to version control.
Then changes can not be done in production, you need cicd, just build one step at a time.

Do not aim for perfection, just concentrate on having a framework(mentality) of continuous improvement.

You been given the opportunity of testing all your skills in a thing that "works" (makes money), you just need to find the metrics of where the money comes from and how to maximise it.

Pareto principle can be of help when making decisions.

You would be working as a freelancer right? Or will they use some agency to hire you? Freelance senior PHP dev would be 90-100/hr in the EU so 180k-200k. If it’s via an agency, you will need to do more calculations with social security and mandatory taxes in France.
"Why is it not normal?"
That is a bizarre question to ask. To answer it you'll need to examine your own reactions to the idea of eating insects, you'll have to ask older family members, you'll have to speak to the wise people in your community, you'll have to read history and note down the circumstances of when people resorted to eating insects. You'll have to act like a human being.
Securing CI/CD Pipelines, Kyverno Policies, Tekton, Kyverno
So you disagree with me; you urge me to acquire a new opinion; but you give no reasons.

MySpace died, and I anticipate that TwitFace will die, for the same reasons; it will fall out of fashion. Perhaps you were born in the TwitFace era; perhaps you've never known a world without TwitFace.

FWIW, I update my views in the face of new evidence; the evidence that I see is that both Twaddle and Faceache are in several kinds of trouble at the moment.

I suppose I envisage a kind of "social media" with these properties:

- It's distributed and federated, with no central control

- You get to control what content you see (kill lists?)

- You get to post what you want

That's something that could be used as a town square. A private space, with it's own rules and its own policing, isn't anything public, and isn't any kind of town square.
Cool to see the dev tools!

But that made me wonder... will ever have "visual coding/scripting" outside of video game development? Sometimes I wonder that we are still in the "silent cinema age" of computer programming. Sure we have new and modern tools but in the end of the day it's still writing plain text.
Gives them free attention of a kind they could never buy no matter how many millions they'd throw at it. Perfectly complements the kind of attention they can buy. Difficult to imagine a company suffering less from a security breach.
This is the model that social media had. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram... they all started of just showing you content from people your followed.

Or course they now all demand to show you "recommended" content and with that take on the responsibly of how "pleasant" that recommended content is.

Where did they do this? I bet few people truly know. My personal guess it's because injected ads and promoted content logged to out of place between your friends posts whereas there is little difference between ads and most popular posts.
Ah, so Culture is what you are saying?

I'm from a culture where historically it's normal to do so.
In my (gamedev) experience, a huge part of the appeal of games is the illusion there's more than meets the eye. Most gamers want to suspend their disbelief and let their imagination run rampant; they can react very poorly to seeing behind the curtain.
Clairefontaine engineering ruled spiral notebook. There are various sizes but I prefer the larger one. Good paper feel, inks don’t bleed and it survives riding about in a backpack with the laptop. Everything goes into it so there’s only one item to remember. Pages are dated, key entries are highlighted. Bits can be scanned. If I know when something happened, I can scan backwards to restore state. Even random scribbles go in, and the gridded pages help drawings.

“If you don’t write it down, then it never happened…”.

Yeah, some do it with a keyboard, but I find it hard to draw, scribble or whatever when I have to switch devices or associate drawings with text. Eventually, they’ll figure out a tech solution to all this but notebooks cost like $10-20, survive impact and even survive a bit of liquid.

No, I didn’t think this up myself. Merely watched a boss never lack info on what went down last meeting or last week.
K8s Workflow Management for Software Developers Using Argo Workflows
It's been 9 years and this footage looks like a moderate improvement over GTA V. On the other hand, GTA V was released 9 years after San Andreas and the improvement was huge. Is it tech debt, API complexity, financial hurdles, or something else?

> You haven't just been the discoverer of the issues with BMI. They're very well known and talked about.

Everything I wrote above occurred to me 20 years ago, when I first learned about BMI as a teenager. It’s not like it happened yesterday. Although I don’t recall the obesity epidemic being a thing back then, probably because we were all preoccupied with 9/11 and the Iraq war. But I digress.

I now regret writing this post because the point I was trying to make apparently wasn’t conveyed well.

Let me try again:

I’m not overweight, but I could be a statistic in the overweight category because I qualify as such. This is a fact, and it’s true for every male with my same height and weight.

Furthermore, I’m nowhere near being fat. Like not even close. That means in the neighborhood of similar heights and weights, every male is also nowhere near being overweight. How statistically large of an error is that?

If we’re overestimating by 10%, is this still an “epidemic”? Or do we really have a normal distribution with a mean of “kinda pudgy, not unhealthy”, and all the really obese people a standard deviation or more away?
Personally I complained about that to anyone who'd listen.
My productivity system
Before anything else, getting buy-in for any kind of major change from the execs is key. Explain the situation and the effects. Have everything in writing, complete with date and signatures. Push back hard every time this commitment gets sabotaged because something is supposedly on fire. Get a guaranteed budget for external trainings and workshops, again in writing. Then talk to the team.

If you cannot get those commitments in writing, or later on get ignored multiple times: run. Your energy and sanity is better spent elsewhere. No need to fight an uphill battle alone – and for what? The company just revealed itself for what it is and you have no future there.

First I’d do that, then think about the engineering part.
Yes, but I almost never have to use that skill. It is pretty pointless unless you are doing historical research and then there are more scripts that are useful to know.
I find all of these TV shows have the same pattern that breaks the immersion: too many close up face shots, and the characters look too clean. Watch the original LOTR and see the composition of the shots ("every scene a painting"): it's not just a close up of a face with a bokeh behind it; there is a visual composition and blocking like a scene designed for a play. The characters looking too clean is another issue, and the Wheel of Time series on Amazon has this problem as well. Every character is perfectly manicured, no dirt or grime despite the setting... it breaks the immersion!
Ask HN: Examples of SaaS companies that used SEO for getting traction

Some examples I personally know of are: ScrapingBee, ReviewShake, ReviewGrower.
I mean they do, I purposefully select stereo on Netflix, but I get the feeling the sound engineers don't change it and just hammer the 5.1 down in a way that sounds bad.
Well, if it's something Rockstar is not famous for, is rushing out releases. GTA V was released in 2013 and they probably started working on GTA VI right at launch if not before that. So rest assure, it doesn't seem rushed.

Besides, most if not every game looks like trash until just ahead of proper launch, that's just the state of game dev.
Seems there was code too, look at the GTA Forums thread.

And the HL2 gave us a nice delay. So everybody cheering for leaks I hope they are also cool about waiting longer for the finished game.
Well I bought a fair shair of drugs with bitcoin so I'm good I guess
> Should they let you go just because you have a side project you'd like to work on? Probably not.

I'm thinking out loud from an employer's perspective: Will this employee leave for his side project, if we not let him work on it? Probably not. Will they leave if this side project succeeds? Probably yes. Will they be less interested and more distracted in our job? Probably yes. So, why risk it.

I dont't know, I have the opposite experience. In Python you can have a function that returns a certain object `Publication` most of the time. But sometimes it returns a slightly different object `MyPublication`. This doesn't have to be due to bad design, maybe it comes from some library function and you didn't even notice. Due to duck typing it will work (until you do something with the result that only one version supports). Then sometimes you will return None, and sometimes "[something]".

Type annotations are really valuable to ensure that your types are actually what you think they are. In the same spirit of using assertations for pre and post conditions.
If management aren't on board, and have an aggressive road map, and it's pulling in $20mil, it deserves to fail. Their on borrowed time, and likely they're the reason for the current situation. Run like the wind.
many of us have a deep, instinctive revulsion to eating insects

This could be cultural blindness, there's probably lots of places outside of your own culture that find eating insects the best thing ever. As hard as that may be for you to imagine, given your experience, which as it is linked to the culture/s you have lived in, is naturally limited.

Some examples that occur to me:

- Many Israelis may find eating pork disgusting

- Many North americans may find eating livestock intestines disgusting

- Many Anglo-saxons may find eating chicken feet disgusting

- Many non-Nordic folk may find eating putrid-smelling fermented fish (one is: Surströmming) disgusting

- Many non-South americans may find eating hamster meat disgusting

Yet for the people actually in those cultures they probably find it the best thing ever.

So I think it's mostly cultural (and temporal) blindness.

Here's some more ideas:

- "For Most People, Eating Bugs Is Only Natural" https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/eating-bu...

- "Eating insects has long made sense in Africa. The world must catch up" https://theconversation.com/eating-insects-has-long-made-sen...

I think cultural food preferences are probably strongly linked to food-source availability.

For anyone thinking I'm pushing some ideology, or food-preaching, cool your heels: I'm just stating some facts and making a point about cultural relativism.

When you use the world "normal" (especially for food), you probably speak with ignorance of other parts of the world.
I, for one, would like to hear far right takes just in case they're reasonable and good. I don't want to have to argue that any particular one is good without even being able to see them.
something you have: mobile phone or email address (in which you'll receive the code).
I read the forums. I see the hacker has source, but he has not leaked the source.

He posted many screenshots proving he has something authentic, tho.
You are judging a leak as if it is the final game. If RDR2 is n indication of the quality level of Rockstar GTA VI will be a pretty nice game.
>> enterprises would likely be better off with no documentation at all and just reading the source code.

That, from the article, is quite a statement. Unsurprisingly, no explanation is offered.
You need observability in order to make good decisions. Get that mess into source control, and the. Start instrumenting it. Spend what meager budget you can get from upper mgmt on instrumentation.

Writing tests is great, but how do you even write good tests for spaghetti code like this and have faith in them? Answer: you can’t. But you can instrument your spaghetti code so that you have a fighting chance of seeing what’s wrong when stuff breaks.

After a year or so of instrumentation, small bug fixes, and fixing the absurdly stupid stuff, you’ll grok that spaghetti mess well enough and have enough political capital to be able to start refactoring great whacks of it. The strangler fig pattern mentioned earlier smells like the right approach, but you won’t really know until you’ve really grilled the codebase.
That looks like early development footages. They are probably still working on both the engine and the assets. What you see as little to do with what it’s going to look like in the end.
I'm not sure the lower end but 80% most popular GPUs have gotten that much stronger in the last 9 years, and that's the spec they likely need it to primarily work on.
Show HN: Find, Join or Create RnD projects; get your creative juices flowing
Hello fellow startup-ers,

I am delighted to introduce baoRnD to you. baoRnD stands for Open and Borderless Research and Development. Aside from RnD tools, what you can do on baoRnD includes:

create RnD projects for people to follow or support

find RnD projects to work on.
find other researchers to work on your RnD project.
find equipment/lab space for your RnD work
others
Think of baoRnD as GitLab + LinkedIn but for projects involving little or no code. it does not mean programmers cannot use baoRnD (in fact some are using it) but there are currently products better suited for programmers than baoRnD.

Get your creative juices flowing today.

Please support us by signing up or joining the waitlist.

Linux command line for you and me
Nuclear power is great. Unfortunately the environmental groups that lobbied for renewable energy, also lobbied against nuclear power. So much less available nuclear power for Sweden in the winter, than there should have been.
Even in game development, it often turns out to be a huge mess that coders have to go and sort out after the fact, it's almost inevitable if it's general purpose enough.

If you do decide to build a scripting system for designers, I would recommend being very conservative with features and thinking twice before adding any new feature.
Could the same argument be applied to edible insects too? I recall having deep fried silkworm pupae when I was working in China and they weren't as bad as I first anticipated, plus they were raised in a sterile and tightly controlled environment, so I was told.
Doing the Work. How to Write When You Suck
Not to mention that they are mixed for reference volume. If people weren’t concerned about neighbors, sleeping babies or protecting their hearing, I’m sure they would just crank it up and not miss any dialog. Of course, that’s just not possible (or enjoyable on most equipment).
Unless you keep regularly using them those fine motor skills will atrophy from lack of use.

And barely anybody will use it outside of the real world. All this does is make kids exasperated with their education because they're being taught something they know is outdated and has no real utility in the real world.
The technical art, textures, models, etc. are definitely not finished. I am 99% that the final product will have many visual improvements over this leaked footage.
This is an issue that the industry itself has caused. It's a self-inflicted wound. Companies never show footage like this, so gamers don't know what games look like during development. Then they get disappointed by footage like this or early looks that don't look absolutely mindblowing. If companies were more open about development, this wouldn't be a problem.

> a huge part of the appeal of games is the illusion there's more than meets the eye. Most gamers want to suspend their disbelief and let their imagination run rampant

This is complete nonsense.
I agree that it does not look next-gen at all but let's comment when they actually release the game. From what we know this can be ancient build.
The is a cultural-blind statement that tries to lift "cultural relativism" to "objective normality". It's incorrect, without appropriate qualification. Let me help you:

It's almost as if some people are trying to push the false narrative that eating bugs is perfectly normal for people in the corner of Florida where I grew up.

When stated like that, it doesn't make that much sense. No one would think it was normal in a place where it's not normal to do so, so probably no one is pushing that.

But I think you're right that there is some form of "food source environmental activism" related to bug-eating, but this article isn't about that, and doesn't have to be. I mean, take from it what you will, and I understand the triggered reactions to the connotations of "let's replace our menu with insect meat because environment", but I think that's an unnecessary fear-connotation in this case and is not warranted by the source material.
I have zero interest in getting on my boss' bad side. I will definitely express my opinion and that is enough for me. If the higher up still pushes for doing things his way, so be it. I did my part.
Or your flint knapping?

Edit: I think there are better and more relevant ways to teach kids fine motor skills than teaching them an outdated and useless script. What about just teaching them block letters, calligraphy or drawing?
Yup. The average company lets their employees paste credentials on Slack, email them, etc. and they are allowed to be things like "password". The challenge is not really to hack them, is being willing to do it.
As someone not in the gaming industry, what does 'visual coding/scripting' mean? Any links or wikipedia articles that describe it? (Or an explanation yourself?) I'm curiuos if it could work well with new developments in AI generated images (stable diffusion etc).
In many countries you can issue invoices without having a company or being a freelancer up to a certain amount. That should be everything Paddle needs.

Also, once upon a time, I checked with FastSpring (another alternative) if they could just withhold payouts until incorporation and they told me they can do that.
Yes no leak to the public yet but he released 10k lines of code to prove he has code.
Unreal Blueprints for example https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/blueprints-visual-sc... That's the leading visual scripting system

This a guy has very good tutorials in video form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY6Nl-OEhSo
> What's the argument against them building in public like the rest of us?

Who are these "the rest of us". Most game development happens behind closed door, the gameplay only to be seen as the game is ready to be released. In fact, most software in general is developed like this. Open/public development is not at all the norm for development.
Indeed. I worked on J40 for last 4 months of my unemployment (and I'm available for work wink), and it took one or two months to get each major feature---modular and VarDCT---working.
I do not have a learning disability! I think my spidery scrawl was more legible before I had remedial instruction. My handwriting was damaged by my teachers. Sure, it was ugly to start with; but the remedial instruction just made it worse (and I ended up writing slower). Lose, lose, lose.
Imagine I have a grocery shop in a town with 40k of population, what can I do to attract more people to it using TikTok? Currently I use to spam a text info about new goods in some local FB groups, rarely with photos.
Epic fail.

The way to fix things involving people is through something called leadership. That means you need to double down on your soft skills and you need the explicit support of management. If you hope a framework will do this for you then you are just as broken as that you wished were fixed.

Train your team, set high standards, and focus on automation (not tools, not frameworks). This is a tremendous amount of work outside of product. If you aren’t willing to invest the necessary extra effort you don’t seem to care that it’s fixed.
