Draconian laws? Gambling is nearly the definition of market failure. The information imbalance between online casino and players is absolute. Without regulation there would be no way to even know if the odds online casinos are giving you for a given game are true. You could be playing a game you think is 49/51, but actually getting 40/60 or 30/70 odds. You have to trust the casino to perform RNG in a fair and unbiased way.

The same applies to gambling marketing. Do you know if Twitch streamers are using their own money or playing with "house money"? Do you know if the casino is giving Twitch streamers more favourable odds to make the service look better?

Edit:

> Crypto casinos can also be "provably fair" to win trust from people when they have no track record.

Do such casinos currently exist, or is this a hypothetical? AFAIK currently existing crypto casinos are opaque.

Your note is unlikely to yield a result. It does end with a call to action but doesn’t explain why someone should respond.

It’s nice and short but needs one more sentence in the middle. This is up your alley — great! But do you want to compare notes? Do you want to get hired? What’s in it for someone from Amazon to respond (or harder, since you’re asking for an intro: why would someone send this to a friend?)

I get a lot of messages like this and usually ignore them because they lack any reason to respond.

GMail is not my primary email, though. I use it for Meetup.com, Slack, Steam, maybe one or two other things. A quick google search suggests that my email address does not appear on the internet. Maybe people not suffering from spam have similarly private addresses?

Show HN: Python-Multibar, flexible library for writing static progressbar
Documentation: https://animatea.github.io/python-multibar/
Isn't the article suggesting that due to a different "front ends" (web app, mobile client, etc) there are different sets of requirements, which a backend should not deal with (for sake of simplicity and separation of concerns)?

The BFF layer seems like a natural next step, basically a code shim to abstract away the peculiarities of each FE platform from the (presumably) "pure" business logic / API platform of the BE.
I would say one or two had something they could have made available.

The one place I worked that did open source code, it was decided very early on it was to be open sourced so it built in a way to make it open source.

Julia has been making big strides recently on (pre-)compilation. Nice work Chris--beyond just these recent results, you've helped to create a community. I wonder how long it will be until we have a demonstrably stable static/aot compilation capability that a new user can employ without friction on Linux, Mac and Windows? No doubt it will be just as soon as it becomes a focus area. This is an area I'd love to see advanced soon and potentially help with, because I use Julia for my work.
The article is written by the primary contributor to homebrew and based off the author's interactions with users. Homebrew does indeed have both sponsors and donations...

https://github.com/homebrew/brew#donations

And I find it beyond credibility to believe that the primary contributor is not taking any money for his work on homebrew. Because while homebrew undoubtedly costs some money to host, a vast majority of the hosting is done using GitHub's public repositories.
Some of the more popular games do have significant resale value on skins that can be turned into steam credits. So its op par with gambling. And no gambler makes money trough their spins, unless you count games like poker where better players can edge out somewhat of an advantage.

Color correction uses as much GPU memory as it can get. I used to maintain DaVinci Resolve systems with expansion PCIe chassis to handle all of the exapnsion cards. Each year, we'd upgrade the GPUs with more cores and memory. Each upgrade allowed the system to be much faster. However, this used to be on Macs, so an Nvidia card is no longer useful on that platform. Might still be a cool thing to play with under WinX/Linux
Am I the only one who is having trouble understanding what this is doing, and why I would want to use it? Maybe I should have had that cup of coffee earlier.

Unless the members agreed to give them that authority.

Let me ask you this: are you a member of that community, or merely an outsider imposing your opinions on others that did not consent?

If the former, that's fine. If not, why do you feel it's fair to do to others what you think is wrong for them to do?
Regarding the question 'what specific thing is it hard to do without fossil fuels', the answer, from what I've seen of that side of the debate, is that the problem isn't technical but economic.

To attempt to steelman the argument AIUI: If we replace the EROI of fossil fuels with the EROI of renewables, a much larger portion of the economy will have to be dedicated to generating energy. This will make everything more expensive, and a lot of activity we take for granted today will be too expensive to be maintained, even though it might still be technically feasible. Even the leisure time to invent new and better energy sources will be displaced by people needing more time to chop their own firewood etc[1], and free capital to invest in new inventions will similarly be much harder to come by than when we were all comparatively rich due to the fossil subsidy. There will be knock-on effects in the complexity of society, which is currently able to maintain a high level of complexity and specialization because the high costs of complexity (e.g. longer supply chains) is being subsidized by the low cost of energy.

It's not a terrible argument, though it clearly is making a doomer assumption at every turn. Currently, google tells me that the EROI of crude oil and solar PV are ~20 and ~10 respectively - which does represent a significant tightening of the total wealth available if we contemplated switching everything today. The more optimistic counterpoint, is that the current EROI of fossils is diminishing, and will meet the EROI of renewables at some point, where by this logic the maintainable complexity of society would stabilize. Hopefully that still allows us to have a microchip foundry somewhere, though I haven't seen anyone reliably crunch the numbers one way or another.

[1]pointing out that Nikola Tesla invented a lot of things while employed digging ditches is not part of a proper steelman.

You're not only making it harder for bad guys to enter your room, but also for good guys, and for yourself to exit, in case any emergencies happen within your room.

It's not even clear that the benefits of blocking are net positive in all situations (depending on your individual characteristics and the environment, eg if you have a chronic illness and are in a relatively safe location), but the more general point of the post was that you should do a cost-benefit analysis (ie is the risk reduction worth the effort?), not look only at the benefits in terms of risk reduction.
Echo this sentiment completely. I'm the only one in my team covering both hardware designs, software development, and sales. I'm not nearly as expert in any of these areas as my colleagues, but my manager can throw pretty much anything my way and I can run with it, and as a result generally do the best in quarterly reviews. From a managers perspective, if they can hire someone who can do 3 jobs for the price of one, then that's the best return on investment. However, an expert in an area will see through that. They know a job split 3 ways is a job 1/3rd done. I can get something working to a proof-of-concept level, but not to a scalable, problem-free one (unless given more time to work on something singularly).

Best bet is to play to the crowd from my experience. Management class: tell them how much you've done. Engineering class: tell them how well you've done something.
Really? I miss Brazil and version sets regularly and often think about reimplementing the parts I find valuable on top of an existing package system.

Having self contained workspaces with all dependencies in any language, fine grained ability to replace any package with a local build, and the simplicity of package config (for most languages) was awesome.

Having to use _n_ language dependent build systems without interface pinning or reproducible builds since leaving sucked, imho. Checking out a package and running `bb` to get an artifact was just so satisfying.
It's been a interesting past couple of days of drama but the article fails to mention that twitch employees were accepting large amounts of money from gambling streamers live on stream.

If they did it in Afghanistan, utterly losing and achieving nothing (at least good for them), they can do it again. Especially if its all their fault and incompetence and self-caused harm. Why should rest of the world babysit some mobster maniac's ego so his feelings are not hurt when he is killing around is beyond me.

You understand he will do it again and again, until he cannot or he is dead. Lets work on the former part for now by draining his military of any capabilities.
I would love to find a full-time position of just doing this kind of work. Nearly every place I've worked had some hacked together system that mostly worked, but wasn't enough of a pain for management to dedicate time to. I'd have to steal time away from the feature mill to make some little improvement, and everyone would agree that, yes, it did make things a easier for the devs, but no, we can't just have you out there working on things willy-nilly when there are features to churn out!
Online gambling sites illegal in the US such as stake.com would pay streamers millions of dollars a month to move to Canada so they could legally wake up, play slots for 20 hours in a row for tens of thousands of viewers, and then go to sleep.

While it's true that arbitrary bureaucratic inefficiencies can get out of control, sometimes "good" bureaucratic requirements can get inflated with the arbitrary ones, simply because people don't understand their reason in the first place. This leads to a Chesteron's fence scenario [1].

Anytime somebody say's something like "does it really need to be this hard" or "all you've got to do..." should make sure they fully understand the rationale behind the requirements. A lot of times, those requirements can be met in a more efficient manner, but sometimes the seemingly "efficient" path will cause more second-order problems down the road because of those blind spots. What you often find in both camps (those bluntly instituting the requirements and those saying they should go away) is a lack of understanding of the entire system dynamics.

To be frank, this compensation issue isn't a problem specific to Amazon. It's common knowledge that if you want significant raises (50%+) you have to jump among the FAANGs/Tier1 companies, mainly due to the external vs internal offer policies. An internal promo will get you into the bottom of the next pay band versus an external offer which usually puts you near the top. The compensation delta can be in the 6 figures for non-new grad roles. This holds true all the way up to director level roles in my observations.

Fair or not, this is currently the optimal career/comp progression strategy, although recent hiring downturns might change the meta(heh)game to favor internal candidates. We shall see.
Ask HN: Who do I improve my build skills?
I started my journey with programming as a hobbyist almost 10 years ago. After 3 years as a hobbyist, I started my Applied Math undergraduate studies. Until this point, I did not have build problems or struggles in general, since the projects/scripts were "simple" in terms of dependencies and I was basically working on them alone.

On the last 2.5 years, I have professionally worked on Desktop projects (Common Lisp ecosystem) and now I am working on a dynamic web application (Clojure/ClojureScript ecosystem).

On this professional phase, I have struggled with build errors. They feel a bit random and different from debugging errors while developing. I miss Common Lisp ecosystem... In ClojureScript I interact with NPM and multiple hassles have emerged.

The skills to solve build problems feel like "a skill they do not teach in college" (this can be even worse considering I did something close to CS, but not CS itself).

I would like to improve on the skill/skills related to build. I am also aware that practice teaches a lot and I have already learnt a few things while struggling with the current projects and "trying to survive".

But, I would like to improve in a structured manner.

Would you recommend some material? A book? A course? A side-project that would teach the low level of build processes?

This is one of my few big gripes with Rust too, but it should be pointed out that it's dynamic linking with other Rust code that isn't really supported. Dynamic linking with e.g. C libraries is a breeze.

No, my horse is amazing and IMO your opinions are unsubstantiated garbage, just building sandcastles. You are arguing that it's fine to kill a lot of people as long as it's fast and you can overcome the mild inconvience of your own life, insane. Nice talk though.
Sounds cultish. What makes you think either of those paths are workable? Why wouldn’t what we’re doing now lead to a sustainable future? What does hiding the damage mean?
This is getting more irrelevant to the thread, but it’s highly unlikely “inability” to pass a step exam was the reason for exiting medicine. The first pass rate for US MDs is 95-97%. American medical school is designed to make it highly unlikely you will not pass those tests. You could also retake it up to 5 times.

The real issue is that failing a step exam or passing with a lower score (once passed you can never retake) nearly completely eliminates you from certain specialities - especially the more lucrative surgical subspecialties. Some people may simply decide to give up at that point.
It’s much more likely burnout or an overall “fuck this” with the training, or other red flag, eg cheating or egregious behavioral problem then not passing a single exam.
Because although there are a ton of exams after entering medical school none are as high stakes as the MCAT for continuing to be a doctor.

>The information imbalance between online casino and players is absolute. Without regulation there would be no way to even know if the odds online casinos are giving you for a given game are true.

Also absolute: you being unable to comprehend OP’s comment about what “provably fair” means.
I think this is basically nonsense. Some of most toxic comments I have ever encountered on HN are people whining about Rust. I've said it before and I'll say it again -- some Rust users need to be confident enough in Rust to allow others to disagree, but, mios dio, it's not as if their interlocutors have found some sweet spot of high minded debate.

Moreover, "toxic", to me, is not well-meaning, generally positive people excited about something legitimately technically interesting and new. "Toxic" is repeated flimsy arguments ("Just write better code..." and "Modern C++ doesn't have these issues..." and "Rust doesn't fix ALL BUGS so why even bother?"), mole hill matters of taste ("Egads! The syntax!"), and drive by hype hate (I'm glad the hype has died down enough for Forth to be usable).

I gag on this "toxic" line every time I read it, because it usually also includes a boring, retrogressive, small beer, almost American politics-style argument. The joke that comes to mind is we are about 15 minutes from someone claiming "The coastal elites want to force you to use Rust." Yesterday, I saw two comments, one of which claimed Rust was a conspiracy against C++ programmers, another that admitted anti-Rust fervor was about resentment. The energy is they don't want you to win. They are keeping you down. Just yuck.
There are a lot of western reporters on the ground in the Ukraine. Sometimes more, sometimes less close to the front. One difference to earlier conflicts is, that many Ukrainians of course have smartphones and consequently can record pictures and videos. These can be cross checked by the reporters and immediately give detailed information.

The airflow into a fan is in response to the low pressure created by the blades, an so will approach over a wide angle. The outflow, however, is initially strongly biased to a direction perpendicular to the plane of the blades (together with some swirl imparted by the blades.) Because of this, the anemometer shown is likely to intercept a larger fraction of outflow than the inflow.

Maybe the swirl will also have an effect, depending on whether the fan blades and anemometer blades rotate in the same or opposite directions.
Um, bad example. It was a misconceived bit of legislation. There's no logic behind that claimed right. What happened to my right to remember what I choose? Why shouldn't I publish my memories on a website?

Anyway, it's not a "European value", it's a piece of legislation, so it falls under the "European jurisdiction" category, not the "European values" category.

That complying with "European values" is part of the project goals is unfortunate. Who decides what are European values? There's no Declaration of European Values. We don't all have the same values. There are just European laws, and then a whole bunch of opinions that not all Europeans agree about.
You're comparing fundamental laws of physics to consumer product interactions. PC fan design is not static on the quiet end and neither are grill designs though they're less fluid. The interaction between them matters though for the kinds of changes and noise they're trying to measure.
> Each "mouth" has a chance of yielding infinitely scalable innovation.

Except that in most cases the new "mouth" lives an horrendous experience in overpopulated and poor countries and does not even get a shot to bring his "scalable innovation". They usually just die shortly after.

So, no. More people does not equal infinite minds for a better future and a warm, fuzzy feeling. It usually just means suffering. What you want, is more people in first world countries.

It seems to me that this question assumes that there is a "royal road" of courses that will turn him into the mathematician he wants to be, but I don't believe that's the case. The only way to get where he wants to be is through a long and difficult process. And in my comment I tried to give what advice I could, however inadequate.
