I might be wrong here, but I have always been under the impression that they are the same person. I didn't even realise that is was supposed to be a secret.

Simple things like Lina en Marcan using the same hostname for the development machine (Raider), using the same IDE (Kate), using the same bash aliases (the one I like most if 'stfu' that appears to suppress terminal output), and a huge overlap of knowledge. Then there is also the same fast-paced speaking style that Marcan has.

I did notice Lina always (rather jokingly) denying being Marcan, especially during the April 1 debut, but I always assumed that that was just part of the joke.

Again, I might be wrong here, maybe they are not the same person after all, but as far as I can tell it's just Hector Martin having fun.

> Isn't it the opposite, though?

You mean Lina being first, and Marcan being an alter-ego? Marcan (Hector Martin) is a real person, he has done quite a few interviews on camera. https://youtu.be/dF2YQ92WKpM?t=496
I can't remember when I looked around on the App Store casually. Usually review sites will have a direct link.
IMO your most likely to find 'lifer' types at a FAANG than many others. Job-hopping usually stops becoming an easy promo system once you've hit staff anyway.
Yes, but ... Commodore did this because they had incompetent management. They shipped products (VIC-20, 1540) with hardware defect in one of the chips (6522), chip they manufactured themselves. The kicker is

- C64 shipped with 6526, a fixed version of 6522

- C64 is incompatible with 1540 anyway

They crippled C64 for no reason other than to sell more Commodore manufactured chips inside a pointless box. C128 was similar trick of stuffing C64 with garbage leftover from failed projects and selling computer with 2 CPUs and 2 graphic chips at twice the price. Before slow serial devices they were perfectly capable of making fast and cheaper to manufacture floppies for PET/CBM systems.
With your approach there's always the risk that your sanctions are worse for the population than the consequences of the mines, particularly because economic damage is compounding.

How do you deal with that?
Yes, I built it as a replacement for the networkx spring_layout function.
Shake down indy devs during an economic downturn and runaway inflation. Sounds legit.
I can’t agree. I have a recent X series, and at this point, it’s approaching butterfly-keyboard levels of unreliability. I’ve always found the travel to be on the spongy side, but this iteration is terrible. Also, my trackpad literally has to warm up before it’s usable. I’ve tried with the track point, but it just doesn’t work for me.
Agreed. America's involvement in Ukraine (prior to 2022, back to at least 2016) stinks.
On these sort of small transactions just the CC fees are gonna be eating 10-15%
Advertising has been the Faustian bane of tech for the last 20 years. It wasn’t always like this. I wish the government would tax advertisers like they do other ruinous/harmful vices (e.g. tobacco).
super cool & informative !!

Whoops, good catch! That's definitely an error on my part. The original code uses `var` there. Thanks for pointing it out.
HiDPI is normally 2x res. Aka 176x62 would be correct.
No, VIC-20/1540 had hardware problem. C64 shipped with fixed chips. C64 cant even work with 1540. Commodore crippled it because of incompetence.
I would love to be a “lifer” dedicating oneself to a single cause and working diligently towards it. Once you’ve built the right tools around you you can be _incredibly_ productive.

To points keep me from going that direction. The _only_ time one can be sure is getting market value for your work is when one engages with the market - e.g. switches jobs.

And bitter experience has thought me that employers shy away from giving market compensation the longer one stays at a place, even for “business critical” roles like CTO positions.

The other fear of mine is getting to a local maxima of skill, solving problems the easy comfortable familiar way, and missing out on some great innovation. If I manage to find a position that alleviates those fear I’m sold! I could see myself working there more than the usual for me 5 year tenure.
Everyone being welcomed into contributing to the kernel can result in a natural lack of diversity, as it selects for people interested in technical programming.

It is the ham-fisted attempts to increase diversity for its own sake have ended up being discriminatory. [1]

If there are barriers stopping people contributing, these should be removed. I expect these to be economic barriers, rather than those based on particular characteristics.

Humans will flake out when doing boring stuff - pigeons are just stupid than the usual biological drives of where the next meal will come from.

Intelligence is sometimes a curse.

Also, they don't have the concept of time scale - one day is the same to them as the next one.

Look at the hands, look for obvious repeating patterns in foliage, look for lines that don't connect right.

All I want in reviews is an indicator of how much they’ve actually used the app at the time the rate is made.

Lots of apps crank up the forced ads/other BS after they’ve nagged you a few times, and they like to that right after a dopamine hit, like beating a boss.
Why would it cost $2000 to register an EV? 12,000 miles/year at ~30 MPG is 400 gallons of gas. At $.50/gal tax that’s $200/yr in tax revenue the state would need to make up in additional EV registration fees.
Even if I was completely content at a job, I'd find it hard to imagine being a "lifer" because I've enough experiences with leadership changes that completely changed the company or team's culture. I'd expect that to happen in 3-5 years at most organizations. Maybe things don't change so fast in older / mature companies, but then the work isn't as interesting.

No it's not common and it's not normal. Hence why I wrote "that's not normal"...
Aren’t the various android AppStore’s even more crap laden?
You're only fooling yourself: there is no such thing as "retirement". Downsizing, outsourcing, and reorgs will likely see you ageismed out and trying to get a job when older. There is no security except what you make for yourself on the side. This might mean a startup project, real-estate, and/or other passive income sources. It might mean something as simple and trivial as a coin-op laundromat (unattended laundry business). Ebooks. Rental properties. Whatever makes enough money.

If you don't, you're putting yourself and your family at risk of being under-resourced, e.g., homeless.

Complacency is the mother of all assumptions / failures of imagination / laziness.
At my last job, for the first few years I really thought I might spend the rest of my career there. Household name, I was working on interesting things, I got to travel, I got to contribute to the industry.

Then things changed. My boss left, we got a new boss, change of direction, change in the kind of work we were doing. I didn’t have any career growth available, and performance reviews felt arbitrary.

So I left. It has been a great decision for me. I’m very happy. Companies change and people change, so the match may not seem great in the future. I hope it works out as you want it to.
It's because you were too noisy.

Basically, reputation builds at glacial speed, and it is rapidly destroyed.

Complaints and reports of bad user experience linger for years, if not decades, and reversing consumer trends requires humongous good will.

They say there's only one chance for a good impression. But there's also basically no chance at all for a second bad impression.
Ask HN: Which books have made you a better thinker and problem solver?
Your choices needn't be only math books. They can come from any discipline or genre.

When you mention any book please add a line or two as to why it made you a better thinker and problem solver.
yeah but hypothetically, wouldn't you and your friends feel a lot safer if there were autonomous robots with explosives patrolling the street though?
Younger people use Discord for everything, so worth noting.

I have no doubt you are right, but IMO, the title creates an expectation that this was an "Apple curated list" - which is clearly isn't.
That’s totally legit, but there’s a flip side, too. I was running my own business, but it wasn’t going anywhere. (I think after 5 years, I’d had one year in the red, 3 years of just barely breaking even, and 1 good year.) My spouse was working 2 jobs, one of which required a lot of evenings and weekends during the holidays. I “sold out” and got a high-paying job, and it made our lives much easier. Even doing hard work for someone else was easier than doing literally all the work myself. And a few years later when my spouse developed a serious medical condition, we had good insurance to cover us. I’m glad I got the experience of doing it myself, but I’m also glad I got out. There are still stressful times, but my current situation is less stressful than when I was running my own business. (There are, of course, other options like not working for yourself, but also not going for a very high paying job, etc. That’s totally legit, too.)
Different part of the business. IP is big :)

They use Lumi as a storefront and customer management platform primarily for the ecommerce market.

True, optimize code for JS engines is certainly an art form of its own. What usually works for me is to write boring imperative code when performance is a requirement. That seems to be easily optimizable by current engines.

Also, thanks for sharing my article here on HN. First time for me one of them is on HN.
F-droid is fine and for most of the apps you can just sideload the apk.
I am 55 - used to be lifer until I got laid off in 2020 - started second career as an IT. consultant (Python and .NET).

I should have done this earlier - never realized how the certainty of a paycheque had cost me.
well you see.. that's the problem they are selling ads to solve
I use Edge these days, but Pocket is one of the first Extensions I install.

I also purchased a Kobo precisely because it has Pocket integration.

So, thank you for the good work.
He didn’t go to prison.

He was sentenced on March 19, 2019 to 30 months in prison, suspended for four years, meaning he will serve no time unless he commits additional offenses before March 19, 2023.
Credit card fees are usually around 6% if you take everything into account and Apple likely managed to negotiate a discount. That still leaves 24% for Apple.
Remember HN comments go in waves, at a point top rated comments are positive, then they turn to negatives as people react to negativity and viceversa.

You should not worry about what top-level comments are.
Using stripe for payment processing is about the least anonymous thing you could do. You'll have my full name and country if I use this service.
the nvidia shield store for games was pretty solid when it was around

I'm not sure how I'd rate the quality of the amazon app store but they did have cool features that let you trial an app in your browser

in all honestly with these two stores owning the entire us market there's never going to be much iteration or innovation.. even something simple like a ios version of itch.io would be fantastic
What an utter BS artist - hope they extradite him and put him in jail for a long time.

It was a Scrooge reference with a huge dose of sarcasm.
Tech recruiter here in Switzerland; sadly, I can only agree. Ageism is a big problem no one talks about.
Btw $1 might not be as unattractive to spammers/scammers as you'd expect. It all depends on their monetization scheme. I've seen scammers hire captcha farms if the scheme is scalably ROI positive.
I foresee a hip young startup 'diaryly.com' in the near future to help people improve their conversations with themselves.

Last time I checked 10% of homeless in SF have a job that pays roughly 50k USD per year. Thanks for the stereotypes.
20ms for config parsing is eternity, really.
I'm going to stay where I'm working now for at least two or maybe three years at minimum. I'd tick most of those boxes you listed, however, I'm still actively interviewing, but at a more leisurely pace, just to see what opportunities are out there and to stay "fresh" doing interviews.

Work/life balance is excellent for me, which I'm really thankful for - it means I can go pickup the kids from daycare every day. Otherwise it's either my wife or myself being a stay-at-home parent.

One thing I noticed though, being fully remote I'm on 2x (or nearly 3x) the total compensation compared to doing a similar job for more local companies in the office. I'm living a few hours away from a major metropolitan area. Until either the remote TC or the local in-office TC changes, I can't see myself moving.
Check out Nest JS. It's an opinionated overlay on Express which might be helpful as good for thought.

Britain before that time was extremely poorly documented, and almost all the (few) documents that did exist were lost.
You're not alone. It's normal to incur costs one didn't really understand. Some of them will be bigger costs than others. But I'd guess most people have big regrets. Given the linear nature of our experience of time, all I know that we can do is to count our blessings, and do the best we can going forward. And often situations we thought couldn't get better do get better (which the mind tends to resist believing).
I'm a bit troubled that you don't mention "I'm doing something I like / important / fulfilling" :/

Also, I hate to argue semantics, but it's weird to call it "lifer", given that you're employment is almost bound to end before retirement for a myriad reasons (the economy will go up and down, there will be layoffs, reorgs, mergers, pivots, changes in regulation, etc... Also you might be bored, depressed, harassed, sick, offered a better job somewhere else, required to relocate for personnal reasons, etc...)

So what question are we to answer. "Are you realistically planning to spend the rest of your career a the same company, and if so, why ?" Then the question sounds to me like "Are you realistically planning to stay the same age for the rest of your life, and if so, why ?" :) (To which I'd answer "can it be just a tad few years earlier please ?)

If the question is "are you content with your current job ?",then, "yes", but I would feel delusional thinking it's going to stay the same forever.
I guess the advantage of this setup, relative to playing a board game on an iPad, is that keeping info hidden from your opponent is more natural with cards. I suggest to exploit this, you either make the cards thin enough to hold in a hidden 'hand' the way someone might do in magic the gathering, or (much easier) have your plinth include a hidden hand prop section ala Scrabble.

In terms of product development, I think the best path would probably be to create or find an opensource game engine for cardgames and have a nice development environment plus API where a dev can write a game for the engine that either runs on a PC or runs on the cards, with no code changes required. (PC support makes debugging and iterating on game design much faster.)
> essential market

A market that relies on government granted monopoly is not a market.

> buying a physical book you are not paying just for the paper and the printing process

But it should. Books should only be priced the cost of the paper and ink.

The very first Nobel winner Paul Samuelson[0] makes the argument here[1] when discussing how lighthouse economics works that anything with zero marginal costs that has a price other than free is by definition an economic loss. If it is in the best interest to have lighthouses, or firemen, or media, they should fund the creation themselves and everyone should be able to enjoy the results.

another noob here - does this hugging face model expose an api? i have a light classification use case i might wanna try it out on but think running it on my machine/a beefy cloud machine would be overkill
Seriously we are spending tens of billion on this kind of crap and feel good about it? The only use case I can see for this is scam and pig butchering schemes.
However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
You can still use the laptop perfectly fine without Ventura. It's not a mandatory update.
No? They're talking about something mostly orthogonal to the joke, which is whether it actually deserves to be in the list.

It's the difference between "here's three very hard things, let's make a joke with them" and "here's two very hard things, but we can make a joke if we shoehorn in a less-hard thing".
Unrelated, but you could easily do that on screen with C-a ESC (default key binding)
It sure beats the porn spam they tried a few days ago.
> I miss the old internet

You and me both.

It’s a tangent, but I remember watching The Matrix when it first came out and in that scene where Smith is looking out the window telling Neo that they choose that current timeframe for the simulation as it was humanity at it’s peak, I thought it was a little ironic as clearly things were just getting exponentially better all the time.

I mean, a lot of things have got better, but we lost a lot along the way too. The web certainly didn’t live up to its early potential (or more accurately, we just tossed it for something way inferior that was less hassle).

I guess really it’s just surprising to look back at that scene and think there’s some truth in it.. especially given that now it’s 2022 and we’re all flying round Mars in our self-driving Jetson cars.
> The sad reality is that the Biden administration probably didn’t even consider Europe when it decided on the subsidies.

Europe is essentially a bunch of US protectorates. Why would the US "consider" them?
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: Author warns about 'epidemic of self-censorship'
Hmm, we allow the CLI to execute AOT code sections embedded in WASM files as a convenience feature -- you can do AOT compilation and then execute it on your CLI.

For server side deployment, you should always do the AOT compilation on the server. But I agree this could be more clear. We are adding a new CLI option to disable AOT code segment in the WASM file for people who do not wish to perform the separate AOT compilation step.
Apple doesn't curate.

I'm not entirely convinced it truly ever did, but it's all just algorithms now. Even if the algorithm is only "sort by download between Jan 1 - NOW".
And psychologists today say Skinner is no longer relevant. Makes me chuckle every time.
I hadn't thought of a Scrabble style card holder, good idea.

Ah yeah, I think the game design community mostly uses tabletop simulator and one other such program for testing out ideas. Being able to deploy to both is a good idea.
Don't feel any change.
How would you know when competition for payment fees is forbidden and you're not allowed to negotiate with competing payment platforms to lower cuts?

"...the entry into building electric cars is much lower [than smartphones?]."

"That makes an Apple electric car much more practical [than a Tesla smartphone?]."

This reads like AI babble. Smart Phones seem far simpler than Electric Cars, and subject to fewer costly regulations. And Apple cars do not exist; Can they be said to be "practical" at all?
No. There are stores that even specialise in user-respectful and ad-free experience for people.
Stuff a lot simpler than GPT-3 has been called AI by people much more accomplished than you for a lot longer than you've been alive. The term is not ambiguous, "Intelligence" does not exclusively mean human-level or human-like intelligence, and trying to redefine it now would only cause confusion.
Yeah this is gross and very un-Apple. But giant companies are gonna giant company. Smh.
