Can you suggest some of these less positive reviewers please? I like to have a broad range of reviews before deciding and all the ones I normally look at came out today (though were not overwhelmingly positive in every area).
Ask HN: Come up with a name for a new project
I know this is completely pointless but why not have some fun anyway?

I am working on a Patreon-like project and I am having really tough time coming up with a name. Mostly because "patron" is close to a catch-all word for this type of project and Patreon cornered the entire market(like coca-cola did with "cola"), plus complete lack of .com domain(non-negotiable for this type of project) and lastly, the name cannot start with a "p" and end with "on" to avoid any similarity to Patreon's name(I don't want to infringe on anyone's IP).

This is one of the toughest task I have faced so far when it comes to naming a project. I had some though nuts to crack in the past but I think this one is at the top of the list of difficulty. I have browsed lexicons, tried various latin, and other, translations but the task, so far, proved to be too difficult. It might not look like it until you actually try.

So give it a go if you want. In case you come up with a good name that I will like and I will be able to register the domain, I will forever credit you for it.

You can send me an email with the name to nonpcnpc@email.cz if you want, to prevent the domain name to be "stolen" before I have a chance to get it.

One more obstacle - the name cannot be registered trademark (check via https://www.tmdn.org/tmview), at least not in EU where the representing legal entity is based.

Patreon's main competitors are subscribestar.com and now also locals.com. I think that joining two words together, like insta-gram, micro-soft... is the way to go but not a requirement.

The project will be more advanced than these platforms. It will be more social and with more multi-media content and interaction. It is not a simple copy. It's just a flavour of these types of projects but in essence it is about connecting creators and their supporters and subscribers/consumers of their content.
surely Anandtech is in a different category - why would the PR dept of AMD or Intel mess with Anandtech.

sadly, the same can't be said for hundreds/thousands other much smaller reviewers.

The curse of competence - Once you’re unconsciously competent at a task then many / all sub tasks become “obvious”, since they’re all unconscious know they’re difficult to enumerate to a beginner.
"One of the best ways to calculate sin and cos is CORDIC" This is extremely false. Cordic is 1 bit per iteration, while polynomials (Chebyshev or minmax) converge exponentially faster.
Experience might cause people to believe that, but that doesn't mean it's true. It's just standard world-weariness against leaders.
I like Alltrails but their Watch app certainly seems dependent on their phone app. If you open it without your phone nearby, it will just say "Waiting for the AllTrails App" or something similar.
Ha ha, back in the late 90's, Apple took away profit sharing as soon as there was a profit. Specifically, I should say, Steve Jobs took away profit sharing.
It's definitely a trade-off between privacy/liberty and other benefits.

The spread of standardised time and clocks had a significant negative impact on individual liberty, and people would even sabotage clocks. They failed of course, as will the opposition against the cashless society, because cash is so much worse in most aspects.

If it's something you care a lot about, rather than going the way of the Luddites and opposing eSIM and electronic payments I would suggest focusing on using technology to find new solutions to the privacy/liberty problems.
> doing your own auth implementations is somewhat risky

This is a false dichotomy: people can choose to use a framework that handles auth competently, such Django or Rails, no need to roll their own.

This is not to take away from your points (which I agree with), but for some reason I see many people thinking their only choices are signing their JWTs manually or using Okta.
> It was done at the scale of 30m and 300m populations

In other words, Canada and the US were even worse polluters with their small populations.
Spare a thought for those with heavy Scottish accents teaching overseas.
No, the zero knowledge part is that they only learn that you know a secret, but they don't learn anything about the secret. It's not about convincing others.

I'd much rather have doctors that weren't motivated by profit. There would be many more that actually give a shit about people rather than paying off med school or their Porsche loan.
In high school, if needed, I was always able to turn on the charm and talk my way into being able to turn papers in late without penalty, so I was never up late enough printing a paper to disturb anyone. I left my C64 behind when going to college so the MPS-801 never disturbed anyone there either.
>They seem obsessed with simulated really bad CRTs. ... I imagine part of it is the need to have visible differences strongly emphasized so it looks like the filters are doing something.

The main reason for that is that games of the era were targeted at the most common hardware, using very cheap composite circuits and CRTs as medium for artistic expression. In many games, you could easily miss gradients, rainbow effects, transparency, or something else with a high-end CRT.
>for $50/yr.....
Minimum how many years?

I see software doesn't seem to be incuded.

Also, your numbers sound like you like to bid for government contracts.
The interesting thing about using personal devices for work is personal liability. Have you ever considered what happens if your company is embroiled in some sort of litigation, regulatory investigation, or suspected criminal activity, and undergoes discovery of evidence? If law enforcement or counsel suspects that you or your devices are harboring relevant data, then your devices could be seized, imaged, held as evidence, and possibly never returned to you, certainly not in one piece.

So if you're mingling your personal data along with any sort of company data, or data that belongs to an organization that's outside your family unit, and said data is physically inseparable, then prepare to lose big in the future. You'll kiss all your backups goodbye, no matter where they're stored or how you've encrypted them.

Of course this may also apply if you've got a company-provided device (COPE) or one running MDM, and it's stolen or lost. When you report back to the company that their data's in the wind, they're going to remote-wipe and remote-brick that device, so again, kiss your personal data bye-bye.

Best practice going forward is to purchase separate devices (especially mass storage) for each individual purpose and meticulously separate out company data from personal stuff.

It never pays to mingle business with pleasure, or business with personal, and I think this liability issue is something that's a well-kept secret by companies who wish to encourage workers to BYOD and downplay the repercussions, although rare, that could put those workers into a world of hurt.
Imagine unironically saying that someone potentially just a few years from 30 "is still a child." That's nearly as bad as saying your hiring criteria includes someone with kids and a mortgage (presumably because these people are easier to lock into shitty situations as opposed to the "children" who can easily just leave and go elsewhere). Sorry, I mean those are the ones with demonstrated commitment.

Our time on Earth is limited, and five years is a non-trivial percentage of our working life. If you're a highly compensated engineer and you retire on the earlier side of normal for that cohort, you've got maybe 30-35 years.
> IMO a permissive license is better and easier for the developer and the GPL is better for the end user

No, as developers we use tons of software. We are users before being developers. As such, GPL protects developers as well.
> In general, you should know what objects you are sending and receiving, and it shouldn’t be a mystery that requires reinterpreting

You should know what's the interface that you're sending/receiving, but if you're planning on making downcasts then either you're doing something very exotic or you should take a step back and reevaluate what you're doing.

I'm seeing a lot of people in this thread complaining about features being added to C++ that improve developer experience, but barely anyone complaining that shooting yourself in the foot requires making intentional choices to get your feet in front of your guns.
Another way to think about the horizontal scanlines is that within the lines, there is really a continuous analog signal, undergoing various (analog) filters along the way from initial detection up through final display, but between scanlines there is discrete sampling. This can be emulated by digital filters, but even if the final display doesn't show the scanlines, there should be a different point-spread-function in the horizontal versus the vertical direction.

There's also the possibility of emulating how the time resolution could be less than the refresh rate (sometimes sluggish phosphors create a kind of motion blur).

Really old tv transmissions also had an effects like a high-pass filtering (I think to show better detail within limited dynamic range)[1], and how really bright spots would be surrounded by dark halos [2]. The distinctive "look" of old TV has a lot to do not just with the CRT display, but the characteristics of the analog method of video signal generation, in a video camera tube [3] that had its own cathode raw sweeping across the source image.

I don't understand why this explanation is given to me. I don't need to do any research, I have dual citizenship, plus an EU passport. I am unfortunately an expert in needing a way to get out of "your country" if things in your own country are or become awful.

And citizenship has nothing to do with moving to another country, again. People move to work, to study, to pursue a relationship, and they get a visa to do so, then residency, THEN if wanted or needed, shoot for citizenship.

I was wondering if OP was not happy in Europe, then why not use that money to move elsewhere, I'd consider that an investment, if not a literal one. I wish I had had 50k in my twenties to do it.
Yes that's another great one. Often shown on French TV as one of the more "modern" Rohmers, and because viewers tend to appreciate the aesthetics of that film (Brittany, M. Poupaud)
I'm fully aware of this reality. Wasn't suggesting "fully" playable in alpha, just "playable". If one has difficulty achieving something as simple as getting into the only available elevator since it's the only available exit, then the proper and consistent functioning/rendering of that element needs to be focused on in dev. For something like that to fail to function/render a high percentage of the time a player loads up the game, it makes the game unplayable and the game's initial load time not worth waiting for.
Just a quick note: It works on none widescreen desktop browsers as well if you zoom out far enough. Or at least it does on my 14" with FF 106
Calling learning remembering, is like calling a computer a hard drive. Sorry, but, remembering is just one part, although important part of learning. There is loads of difference between remembering the words of a foreign language and fluently speaking it. The process of learning is complicated, eg. good teaching is not giving the final answers to learner, which should seem faster, but letting the learner arrive at their answers, even sometimes arriving at a wrong answer at first.
And the point about reducing forgetting, that's also a terrible way of learning. If you want to minimize forgetting, that means you have to learn in baby steps, repeat everything using some kind of spaced repetition algorithm, and endure the pain of doing all this for a considerate amount of time. Instead, learning the content rapidly (meanwhile forgetting a lot of the content), getting a whole picture, and gradually gain more understanding repeating the process using different textbooks/courses, is a much more faster way of learning. The brain is more used to BFS (breadth-first-search) than DFS (depth-first-search), and the whole process is much more stimulating. This is because new knowledge needs to be encoded with connections to pre-existing knowledge, and most knowledge is intertwined together, for example in calculus, limits, derivatives, integrals, infinite series, etc. Learning limits in isolation of the whole picture, optimizing for less percentage of forgetting, often leaves learners confused, why am I even learning this, and what use is this for. Even though the percentage of forgetting is much higher in the latter holistic BFS process, the overall content mastered in the same month or week duration is higher. So forgetting is actually normal and you shouldn't panic when you forget things- since you will gain more understanding each time you learn and re-learn the content.
For the last ten years, I've been making products for learning, and every day now and then, I'm still learning something new about learning.
> Yes, we would lose companies that are created solely to develop and release open source software

We wouldn't even lose them. If open source were incompatible with software development companies, then Red Hat wouldn't be in business.
> the highest level--the root--of the [Unix] filesystem is always designated with the single character "/" and it always contains the same set of top-level directories [...] Note the obsessive use of abbreviations and avoidance of capital letters; this is a system invented by people to whom repetitive stress disorder is what black lung is to miners. Long names get worn down to three-letter nubbins, like stones smoothed by a river.

-- Neal Stephenson, In The Beginning... Was The Command Line, 1999

But also note that sometimes the people who make these decisions later realise that they went too far:

> Ken Thompson was once asked what he would do differently if he were redesigning the UNIX system. His reply: "I'd spell creat with an e."

-- Kernighan & Pike, The UNIX Programming Environment, 1984
> That's why I chose the license that seems least likely to prevent me from being able to use the code I've written (currently Apache 2).

That's incorrect. As the upstream author you have every right to use your own code any way you want.
You don't have your dates right. You are a decade too late.

1985, not 1995.

Also, once again, it is TAPED out, not "tapped" out. I am guessing you are not a native English speaker; these two words have different meanings and pronunciations.

Taped: /teɪpt/ -- rhymes with "aped" or "shaped".
Tapped: /tæpt/ -- rhymes with "apt" or "clapped".

The way to remember this is that the double consonant (here, -pp-) "insulates" the vowel before it from being lengthened or changed by the "-e" after it.

Examples:

kit → kitten, bit → bitten, flat → flattened, net → netted. Same vowel sound in all these pairs.

Compare with:

kit/kite, bit/bite, bat/bate, sat/sate, not/note. All these pairs have different vowel sounds because the E after the consonant changes the vowel before the consonant.
Windows (in a domain environment) sends a Kerberos token for network auth which is generated on sign on and signed by a domain controller (authentication server). When the user authenticates to a network service, the token is sent to the service to validate without the need for an additional network hop to the domain controller.

Each "console" is a "seat" sort of like a PTY emulating a serial connector. Whether you're hands on keyboard or using a remote desktop connection, your login session has one kerberos ticket which is used for authentication automatically.

Your comment doesn't contain any point.

However, I'm from the UK and don't include myself in your "massive arrogance" statement. It just appears inflammatory.
Now it’s time for a non toxic social media app that’s simple and easy to use. Like instagram when it was only pictures.
That's so true :) I think this world is absurd so the best one can do is contribute to the absurdness. Absurd is its own utility.
Yep. I'm convinced CF is government-backed mass-surveillance through a "private company." I'd love to be convinced otherwise, but it's the NSA's dream to man-in-the-middle the Internet.
Internal dynamics means the dynamics between the individuals within an organization.
I agree. I enjoyed Roadside Picnic as its such a unique take on the ET visitation genre but my god is it depressing.

I still think it could have the potential be a really interesting TV show. Personally I think the slow nature of the book lends itself towards the show format.

Further, IIRC I believe that soviet authors/translators were able to skirt censorship for the LoTR books by wrapping them in a Sci-Fi setting. Soviet writer for science fiction are some of my favorites.
This just seems like theater to me. Having built complex APIs for 2 years is obviously much less desirable than having built complex APIs for 10. You will have seen more, interacted with more, hit more edge cases, etc.

All this seems to do is make it harder for candidates to know if they're truly qualified, causing them to apply to more things, many of which they're not qualified for, wasting everyone's time.
But pretty soon all real estate will be owned by BlackRock and Berkshire Hathaway, so who knows what the future of land use and ownership is going to be like.

What ?
Read again carefully what you quoted. It exactly supports my claim.

> Export dependent nations may actively encourage a weak currency in order to boost their exports.

> A weak currency may help a country's exports gain market share when its goods are less expensive compared to goods priced in stronger currencies. The increase in sales may boost economic growth and jobs while increasing profits for companies conducting business in foreign markets

> Almost all requests in JMAP are to the same URL using an HTTP POST to submit a JSON body of “methods”. A method is an action or query you want to perform like “give me the 20 newest messages in this mailbox”

Can the HTTP spec just add a CALL verb already?
That being the case, compare it with GBP/EUR over the same time period. The US Dollar is indeed doing well overall, but the Euro is doing nowhere as badly as the Pound Sterling is.
> There is simply just too much information we're expected to know nowadays. You could argue that the amount of information we have to cram into our brains in such a short amount of time makes it very difficult to build good long term memories.

I would also argue that the time we spend memorizing "facts", of questionable utility, takes away from the time that could be spent on learning better methodologies for thinking.
It strikes me that (2) isn't necessarily even what you want. Optimization will change the character of the program, often radically. Should the debugger reflect the source code says it should do or what the optimized code is actually doing?

This is apparent in C++ when you look at the optimized output on Compiler Explorer: it attempts to color assembly based on the source lines, and some source lines get strewn about the resulting assembly.
Building a wardrobe of clothes that fit is the kind of "hack" that is blindingly obvious, but I think would rub HN readers the wrong way.

It feels deceptive, because nothing about your inherent skills or personal qualities have changed. But short of changing your body, face or racial background (none of which should impact a career negatively to begin with), changing your wardrobe probably has the highest and quickest ROI.
Most people are updating it from a client side HTTP request when the page loads, most platforms (like Intercom) provide a signing mechanism to make this secure.
cloud is good to get you up and running. scale as needed and figure out real-word requirements for your infrastructure. the mistake ALL startups make is to stay there and get comfortable. they rather WASTE money than migrate onto their own infrastructure. and it costs them BIG TIME in the long run. but you don't know this until you go through it yourself.
I'm not sure it's so much a story of the British pound, as of the US dollar, given that the pound-euro exchange rate is still well within it's range for the last 5 years:

https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=EUR&to=GBP&view=5Y

The Chinese yuan and Japanease yen are also both at their lowest value vs the dollar in recent years, and moving faster than they normally do.

For each of these (UK, EU, China, Japan) there are local conditions you can blame the currency depreciation on, but given the number of major currencies depreciating rapidly vs the $ I think it makes more sense to look at what the US is doing as the simplest explanation.
> I mean you have lower rates

??? Ours is at the same as the US...

> because it was a far riskier investment than others.

Downturns are more about whether or not consumers still spend, which is based on their savings rate and willingness to invest.
For the right job, I’d be willing to go back in office, but money isn’t the thing that would motivate me (unless were talking about ridiculous higher FAANG/HFT tier money, but let’s be realistic)

The in office jobs I would consider would t consider me though, so I’m likely WFH until I go back to school.
I've been playing guitar going on 20 years and I have never thought of or heard of anyone playing guitar in front of a mirror to see what notes their fingers are playing. It's much easier to just turn the fretboard slightly and look at your fingers (which really you only have to do as a beginner).
I can get a straight torx screwdriver with shaft diameter smaller than the screw at my local hardware store. No need for worldwide shipping, I can get that on bike. There exist also torx bits with long shaft.
Permits? We're not talking a solar farm to power a small device. There are a lot of trail cams that have solar built in, are very small, camouflaged, and motion activated with 20MP cameras for under $200.
