I had a hard time logging in to get in contact with them.
My fogbugz link (for which I should pay) returned 500 Internal Server Error, logging in Firefox didn't work, in Chrome it said that the password in invalid, and I didn't get a reset e-mail (tried twice), I've logged with Google credentials but I got a "This page doesn't exist" on a central-supportdesk.zendesk.com page.
Honestly i suspect nobody has really figured this out. At the very least i have yet to attend an event that does this well.
To be honest. I would run off. This is the kind of hell where nobody wants to work. Where only "experts" know how things work and how to expand or fix things. It will secure their job but will make yours hell.

You personally will gain no knowledge there, just that your codebase is hell.

You cat try to convince the management of creating a new gen implementation. Not a rewrite. New software, that can fulfill customer needs better. Compete better, is safer and better to extend to do all this in the future.

One thing you can do though is to immediately set up modern practices. SCM, Code Review, CI, Tests (most of the code might not be unit testable in this state, but some tests at least) - This way you can see what others do when they add if fix something and learn better (SCM, Reviews), make changes and know that you did not break the whole thing (Tests) and have CI to at least ensure the tests run and everything works and it will glue all together.

Good luck
The bigger argument is that they don't have the power to avoid being exploited.

You could compare too-low wages in many situations to a prisoner's dilemma or tragedy of the commons. Being smart can't save you; you need solidarity/regulation.

> The idea that a single website is a common carrier seems to stretch the definition to the breaking point. It ignores the general understanding that common carrier designations tend to occur in situations involving natural monopolies.

The definition and purpose of a "common carrier" has no relation to monopoly status whatsoever, whether you're referring to English common law (the concept dates back to the 1600s), or in its modern US incarnations.

Conceptually, the principle of common carriage is that:

(1) There are beneficial services that private entities can only feasibly provide if they are granted special privileges generally reserved by the government.

(2) Such services, in exchange for being granted those privileges at a cost to the public, must also serve the public.

> Are you saying that we get to dictate to internet companies exactly what their services entail? Doesn't sound quite right to me.

"Telecommunications providers" — landline and cellular telephone companies — are already classified as common carriers under our telecommunication laws. We don't dictate exactly what their services entail.

ISPs are not classified as "telecommunications providers", mainly because ISPs have spent a lot of money and lobbied very, very hard over the past three decades to avoid exactly that outcome. They convinced Congress to grant them the privileges without the responsibilities. Net neutrality was just a skirmish in this very long-running war.

> Really, I'm curious if you think making websites liable for the content their users post will actually further the goals of free expression on the Internet.

Yes, absolutely. If you do not want to operate as a common carrier — that is, on a non-discriminatory basis, neutral as to use and user — then you do not get the special privileges granted by the government to common carriers serving the public interest.

Websites will be forced to either:

(1) Take responsibility for their content posted by their users — including the spread of libel, disinformation, harassment, doxing, threats, et al, or

(2) Serve the public square, neutral as to use and user, in exchange for the privilege of limited liability for what they publish.
Why? This is what all work-in-progress game development looks like, there's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

IMHO there should be much more WIP material like this in the public, published by the game developers themselves. Too many people think that games just spring into existance, without a clear idea how game development actually works.

It might to some extent, but it's not the perfect way to go.

Speech reproduction gets muddled by distortion and by masking ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_masking ).

If you have one speaker reproducing both speech and other sound, this is what happens:

1. additional sound output means heightened distortion

2. when two sounds come from two places, our brains can separate them due to phase differences and spatial perception, so those two sounds mask each other less than if the same two sounds come out of a single speaker, even if it's perfect, with no distortion etc

3. the speaker is made for broad range reproduction and not voice reproduction, so it'll de-emphasize speech frequencies, which are exactly those frequencies that also make music sound like it's coming out of a cardboard box. ultimately the applied eq (equalizer) curve will create speech that's slightly muddy, like someone talking from behind a blanket.

4. sound bars use tiny transducers which are woefully underpowered compared to the SPL (sound pressure level) they're tasked with producing. This is done by using multi-band compression and limiting. This sometimes creates situations where the limiting might be recovering after a slightly louder sound, and the very next syllable will be muted.

However, having a dedicated speaker for the center channel is none the less way better than not having one at all. If that's all you can try, you can try your luck. But be aware that getting a cheap one will probably not get you where you want to be - you'll have to spend a pretty penny. At that point if you have the space you might want to get a 3.1 bookshelf speaker setup. They don't have to be very large to provide great value-for-space-used.
My comment ITT is about our own ability to raise or lower the emotional stakes in a conversation.

I don't have a naturally high EQ, I have to exercise it and constantly reflect. I'm middle-aged (I worked solo in my first career).

If I can reach 40 and still be learning social skills, maybe others here also could get better at:

> It's really not that difficult to show the right amount of candor while being objective
Why do you feel bad? How is a bit of footage of the game in development affect anything about the game at all? Does the success of the game depend on the public being ignorant about the fact that a game needs to be developed before it's launched? I'm really confused.
That’s not freedom of speech. Freedom of speech only protects what you say only from government censorship.
Social media isn't a common carrier.

The internet is the common carrier.

The analogy of the printing press doesn't work, because the printing press symbolizes a big clunky piece of machinery that a regular user can't build, maintain, run or afford. With the internet it's not like that is it? There are literally thousands of options for a regular user to create their own 'newspaper' without having to pay large sums up front or anything at all.
This is very insightful. I learned it kind of the hard way. The business world is a mess. Requirements are a mess and always changing. This leads to messy code that requires a lot of time to clean up. You don't have time for that as long as there is always more customer wishes and projects coming in. As long as the business keeps working there's always something of top priority coming in. The pain starts growing but the steaming pile of code just doesn't collapse. It just kind of keeps on working while you are adding more and more code. Sure, the pain is big and progress is quite slow but what's the alternative?

My advice would be to listen to the developers, to understand them and the business. To understand what they really need. What a viable path forward would be. A complete rewrite, a second system for new developments, many more developers or something. Or maybe it is the optimum solution right now because the whole company is so messy and your job is not to change the company structure. Then you maybe you could support them by slowly enhancing their skill set and accept what you can't change. Doesn't sound like fun? Then leave soon, staying won't do you any good.
Ideally, they have a range for the position, you know the range before you even start the application and you're okay with it, and once you've done the interviews and you have a soft 'yes', you can discuss salaries and ask for a specific amount. Asking for an amount without knowing their range is a bad idea.
Yes. It's a pointless uphill battle to try to change people who don't want to change. The employees have a lot of leverage by not documenting the mess. If they leave you will take the blame.

Get another job ASAP. Let natural selection do its magic.
> > Parasites were detected in 244 (81.33%) out of 300 (100%) examined insect farms

Humans can get parasites from eating the meat of mammals, such as pork or beef. Is there any reason to believe that parasites in insects pose a greater human health risk than those in mammals?

If anything, I'd suspect mammalian parasites are a bigger risk, since they are more likely to thrive in a human host – we are mammals after all.

Yeah I mostly like it too. The one big issue is very weak CI integration.
“In our studies, something like almost 40 percent of young people, when they’re looking for a place for lunch, they don’t go to Google Maps or Search. They go to TikTok or Instagram,” Prabhakar Raghavan, a Google senior vice president, said at a technology conference in July.

…TikTok’s results “don’t seem as biased” as Google’s, she said, adding that she often wants “a different opinion” from what ads and websites optimized for Google say.
Unpopular opinion: this goes to show that you don't need no fancy microservices, distributed, asynchronous, highly available architecture to build a product that "generates more than 20 million dollars a year of revenue".
No unikernels. No Kubernetes. Non of that cloud native mumbo-jumbo.
I am more concerned about gen z never being taught to type with 10 fingers.
Thanks for sharing. That was a fun game.
And as for cost, the back of the original Bleach CD famously mentions "Recorded in Seattle at Reciprocal Recording by Jack Endino for $600."

As a kid/teenager, Nevermind was always the better record over Bleach, but the idea of getting a major label deal & a slick producer & a $50,000 budget were all completely impossibly unattainable. But that line about just $600 to make Bleach... that was inspiring. That was an amount I could conceivably save up for. It made the idea of making an album yourself seem possible, reachable.
Humans are much more animalistic than we want to admit. Our senses are insanely attuned to our surroundings, but modernity overwhelms them. Oh well, trade offs I guess.
TikTok’s ascent as a search engine may mean that more people stumble upon misinformation and disinformation on the app, which could then be amplified and spread further, said Francesca Tripodi, an information and library science professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The platform has struggled with moderating misleading content about elections, the war in Ukraine and abortion.

TikTok’s algorithm tends to keep people on the app, making it harder for them to turn to additional sources to fact-check searches, Ms. Tripodi added.

“You aren’t really clicking to anything that would lead you out of the app,” she said. “That makes it even more challenging to double-check the information you’re getting is correct.”
I like that I can write cursive, but I sure as hell didn't learn it through elementary school cursive.

Glad that is phasing out, even though I'd hate cursive writing to die.
As a thought experiment it would be interesting to plot out a strategy to achieve something like this in the west in a way that's totally open.
In other words, BFS over the state space of the puzzle, skipping previously-visited states?

You don't actually gain anything by unrolling everything ahead of time; it'd actually be worse because you'd store all the memory and wouldn't stop when you get to the solution. And you can't really factor the state space into subproblems.

Anyway, for this puzzle BFS would work, but classical planning in general gets astronomically exponential fast. It's a neglected field, not yet thawed from the last AI winter.
Don't worry. They will just use touch screens soon enough.
If you really mean donations, you are not going to get that many billions of dollars in donations. This specific "better way" does not exist.

If you're trying to get enough hospitals to do this that people don't just go to a cheaper hospital, then almost all hospitals are going to have to raise their prices... and that's effectively the same as a tax. They're "robbing" every patient the same way.

This is HN and almost nobody is talking about how this was coded.

The snapping is great. The tweening is great. I guess this is uses draggable? It could have gone wrong a thousand ways but its a great success in terms of usability (I'm on mobile)

in terms of the puzzle itself I found it a bit confusing, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. it takes real initiative to just code a thing and try things out
Kinda nice that someone's going around showing how shitty the average company's security is. Not that I outright support crime, but it's good to have these anecdotes to point to - silver lining, I suppose.

There's really only so much you can say about a company's security through a bug bounty. You can't show how devastating a vuln would be, you're stuck on the perimeter, etc. It leads to companies improving appsec a lot, which is great, but everything else is still weak.
Panels are so cheap now that they pay even if you waste most of what they could have produced. A smallish battery that captures only some of the excess, and delivers it when you need it, suffices. Battery cost is still falling fast as new chemistries come online. Hydrogen synthesis and storage might displace batteries for domestic use, particularly if hydrogen-fueled cars succeed. (Advice: keep all that equipment outside!) If not, zinc/bromine battery tech looks strong.
Nitpick squared (and for fun), once metapod runs out of PP for harden (i think it has 30pp), it falls back on the move all pokemon technically know when they're out of moves: struggle. Which _is_ an attack move, albiet one that isn't very good (since it hurts the attacker more than the opponent), and from a practical standpoint you rarely get to the point of using struggle (though I do have vauge memories of using struggle to beat the Rock Gym onyx, since it's Bide move doesn't do damage when you only use Harden against it). The nitpick here being that Metapod does kinda know an attack move

I hope you don't forget to prove the whole theory of integration whenever you are doing an FFT.
This leak only makes me more stoked for the game, so I hope this doesn't cause any detrimental effect on development. If anything, it shows how hard the development is and what kind of details are being tested.

If you ever discover vulnerabilities, responsible disclosure seems like the only way to try to keep yourself out of trouble and even then only if ignorant people in the company/lawmakers won't misconstrue what has happened and want to put you in jail regardless.

Going on the company Slack, announcing that you're a hacker who has stolen data and finishing your messages with something negative about the company does not seem to be a good way of doing that:

> Hi @here

> I announce i am a hacker and uber has suffered a data breach.

> Slack has been stolen, confidential data with Confluence, stash and 2 monorepos from phabricator have also been stolen, along with secrets from sneakers.

> #uberunderpaisdrives

That feels like opening yourself up to being treated as a criminal, especially if you post about it elsewhere (like social media) and the "breach" gets attention, which might negatively impact the stock price of the company in question.

It's good that many companies out there have bug bounties and hopefully InfoSec will be improved as a consequence of this, but there are better ways about achieving the same result, without putting yourself at so much risk.
Agreed, games should be seen at the state and shape their creators want, not with leaks.
That's a really insightful way of putting it. My first reaction was, 'well, duh...', but then I realized that I'd taken for granted the fact that digital video of (arbitrarily defined) adequate quality must have a much higher information rate than audio of the same. But surely there are animals for which the opposite is true!

I have no problem with the business model, if it creates a sustainable business and means good support, then great.

However, I would prefer to be able to use the features in development (before production) without paying. The features don't really bring any value until they're in front of users, so asking for payment before this value is realised is a hard sell.

For personal projects I'm just never going to commit to a monthly payment before I put something in front of potentially paying users. For company projects justifying expenses during the experimentation phase is a hard enough problem that I'd just not bother.

Note: I'm not including support in any of this, I realise that support costs money regardless of when it happens.

I understand that the private fork makes licencing hard for this way of charging, but it would be great to see nonetheless.
> To put it a different way: In healthy organizations, people with more power are expected to have better interpersonal skills, and to work well with less-powerful people who have merely average interpersonal skills.

On average. No reason that everyone can't have great interpersonal skills though - they're really useful in a professional and personal context. The techniques to influence someone from a position of weakness are exactly the ones for personal relationships too because they are gentle and work well over the long term.

That being said, I think this HBR article is questionable advice. This is a random list of tactics that won't work without some sort of framework to link them strategically. The important thing is relation management, not how one disagreement plays out.
Honestly, I disagree with pretty much everything you said. I don’t feel like I get poor service, trains aren’t designed unfriendly, and we certainly shouldn’t strive to make things less functional for some feeling of kindness.

Can’t talk about popular German music, as I don’t listen to that or to other popular music.
That article kind of confuses a few different kinds of sounds. Just because there's a staccato ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9v-UpM9flY ) sound happening doesn't mean it serves the same function. The loud meme they're talking about is a loud horn meant to overwhelm. The sound at 0:40 in the video is clearly a meant to create suspense: it's an earlier trope in movies and other media: scary staccato strings backed by all sorts of random sybilant string sounds that create a nervous atmosphere (like starting at 2:52 here https://youtu.be/_nVkHXTeiOg?list=PL7F72E09D4C28FECD&t=172 ). My favourite use of these is in the Dead Space soundtrack. Note that in the clip I linked you first get the sybilant strings building nervous tension, then some overwhelming loud bangs, but then at 3:50 you get slower sounds which are not meant to overwhelm, just maintain a scary atmosphere. You get both of those uses of sound in one passage.

BTW, here's what the timbre of the "BRAM" sound is based on for the most part: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32886196
