Are you high? This is literally the medias job: telling the proles that the reason they lost all their money in the housing collapse, the stock market collapse, the crypto collapse, is all a terrible , terrible accident and let’s laugh at these silly buffoons with their silly hair. No dear prole, this surely wasn’t yet another well orchestrated financial heat pump to move money from poor people to rich people. Everyone knows money trickles down!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Nothing in the article implies that Variston has any relationship with Google and/or Apple or wants one. T&C is not the law - it may be a condition of Variston being able to publish apps on Google Play and Apple Store, but Variston definitely has (and should have) the right to refuse that T&C and not publish any apps, you can't unilaterally impose contracts on others.
> felt too much like my day job

Agree.

I think it helps to do it in a language you're not familiar with, or with some artificial limitation on how to solve it (no third party libraries for instance).

It takes more time, but felt less like a grind for me.
Yes, pleas.

But actually hash-chain is useful tool, eg. git. Difference is: it is some gear inside something doing something and not something on their own.

Accounting was using "column sums" on every document page for centuries and "block-chain" is exactly that, just for less structured data.

As for Maersk-IBM "international system" - maybe they should try something domestic first, like military storage/purchase tracing ;)
There are a great variety of omnivorous cuisines and dishes that taste great. Meat substitutes can go a long way in adapting these dishes minimizing effort and the risk of a dish turning out really bad.

> If vegetables are your thing, why not eat vegetables in vegetable form?

> The imitation stuff is always terrible. Vegetables are great when you don't mess with them.

The same thing can be posed to omnivores too, and you'll see that your argument is not very convincing. Meat is great when cooked unspiced, why dope it with other flavors, spices, and gravies? Why process it to alter its texture and taste?

As a flexitarian, I've come to like the taste of imitation meat, even as I have difficulty tolerating the taste of most meats most of the time. Consider it an interesting processed food product along the lines of ham and tofu, rather than sadder meat.
Ask HN: Advent of Code Day 1 Solutions
Hey! Thought we could all show off our solutions to Advent of Code Day 1, so we can help each other with hints while we learn new languages.

I'll go first with my first time using Go (and solving it in 20 mins, so copying stack overflow quite heavily)!

The narrative about Russia using FB to influence elections was pushed by the Clinton campaign. No one wanted to cover it was $100K as that compromised the narrative. They pushed that propaganda for 4 years, denying the election. Then, it became virtually illegal to talk about illegitime elections.

My point was that if they have substantial trauma, that should show up in e.g. higher rates of depression

But I read also a lot of I. And you did everything by yourself, didn't you? 12 hours on 7 days you did all tasks by yourself. It doesn't sound you looked for people to help you, to share your knowledge and experience.

> I would be happy to be shown to be wrong, wrong, wrong. Maybe there is a useful, engaging, fun, just, equitable, democratic, sustainable, novel VR experience where the avatars have legs, but Meta is $20 billion in and aside from the legs I don’t see any evidence that any of the above is forthcoming.

As a VR developer, this is professionally frustrating to read. Oculus and Meta have continually sucked all the air out of the room in this industry.

I actually really like my Quest Pro, if I squint and ignore the Meta logo for a minute, but there isn't anything particularly special about it. The hardware is basically a designer shell around a Qualcomm reference design. The software is pretty basic. The only reason the Quest line is so much better than the competition is because the competition is failing to show up.

And that's largely because of the huge amount of money that Meta is spending. How are you going to convince investors to back your competing platform if they look at the market and see Meta spending 20bil a year? How are you going to hire talent when Meta has been paying anyone they can find 5x normal salaries anywhere else, plus adult daycare benefits? Slurrrrrrp Hope you don't like breathing.

Meta isn't spending 20bils because that's what making VR takes. They're spending that to make it impossible for competitors to operate. It's basically the Reagan-era Cold War strategy.
I’m genuinely confused by the downvotes here since nobody has responded.

Am I to believe that lumping people into groups of polite and impolite as human beings is a polite thing to do, or am I meant to believe that lumping people into binary groups of polite and impolite is an impolite thing to do?

Am I being downvoted by polite people or impolite people??

Is reductively judging people and putting them into antithetical groups based on offhand comments polite, or is it impolite? It’s a legitimate question.
In the past those partisan issues were dealt with by balancing incoming states — including breaking up existing ones,

There are plenty of conservative parts of liberal states that would love to succeed from their state.

A couple of days ago some of my sensitive information (stored in LastPass) was used trying to access different services. I‘m still trying to identify how the data got breached.
Like what, for example? To the contrary, I think that, other than constness, C++ has rather few facilities to communicate semantic invariants to the compiler.
If I understand you correctly, shutting down gifted programs because they aren’t equitable doesn’t make sense. But if you wanted my advice, you might get further if you made that point without the racism.

This isn't intended as a rebuttal, but I've learned to stay away from deeply technical questions in embedded. As long as the interviewee is sufficiently paranoid about C, is recognizably experienced via conversation, and knows the basic concepts I don't press too hard on their specific skillset.

There are just too many niches where the knowledge we each consider necessary simply isn't. I had one particularly bad interviewer grill me on how the ARM GIC worked in detail (e.g. interconnect details, differences between versions, etc) because they considered it basic knowledge. I've personally never needed to know anything about it that wasn't in a TRM.
Syncing with Dropbox worked well for me. When you deal with an adversarial server holding your ciphertexts, you have to be a bit careful with the encryption. But keepass is good, AFAIK.

Syncthing improves the security, for instance, just in case a vulnerability creeps into the keepass code.

> I really don't understand what you think you are accomplishing with this.

Freedom for people to live their life and treat their body with full agency without the government interfering. My body, my choice.

Playing along didn't work because anti-freedom people are zealots who will never let individuals help themselves. Given that, we must all work with the openings we are provided. So depression and anxiety it is. And since anything formatted appropriately works if published, I'll make sure it's formatted correctly and published.
I understand where you are coming from, and support you on that. On the other hand, I'm pretty happy with the default state of an iPhone. It just manages itself, and all that hard problems (backups, updates, ease of use, experience homogenity, etc.) are solved.

I manage more than enough servers at work, and I don't want to manage another server in my pocket, do nitty-gritty settings, allow selected apps background access, try to find what changed and what broke every update.

I'm using Linux for 20 years, and I'm not going to change that, however Android is not Linux and settings persistence on Android is just not present.

My parents use Samsung A9s, and I help them configure theirs from time to time, and seems like every important setting is either buried six levels deep or is not guaranteed to stick after an arbitrary time.

While iPhone's (or Apple's) ecosystem lacks control, it promises dependability, and this is huge in removing obstacles from your productivity. I can just get things done in my iPhone and never touch settings app ever, except the occasional "is my battery doing good" checks.
SBF's greatest punishment won't be jail because it looks like he won't go to jail.

Last year when I was doing AoC in Go, I was pleasantly surprised how good Copilot is and it felt like magic. Given most of the time I use Terraform, YAML, JSON, jq, and Bash these days, I can't really appreciate Copilot, but last year I did!
As a personal preference sure. But then he's free to look for a company where he can keep using Clearcase instead of sabotaging the change and holding back development for everyone, just to avoid having to learn git even though the company is paying him to learn it.

Clearcase does cost licensing money for the company though and also time in onboarding new grads who are already familiar with git. Git is also supported out of the box by all the CI/CD and modern dev tooling. Getting tools to work with Clearcase is a wasteful effort.

So I can't see how his point would be valid in any business sense other than stubbornness.
The only proven practical purpose of crypto is evading regulation. So when regulation happens, it will effectively amount to making it illegal. Which won't kill it off, just move it into the black markets where it has actual use.

(I'm not implying any moral judgment here. Personally, I think it's actually a net positive given the amount of harmful regulation, both in national laws and in international sanctions. But that's precisely why it would be silly to expect it to not be driven underground by the governments in the long term.)
Probably not without constructing a DOM. Which nowadays, in practice, means using Blink or WebKit.
The companies would be one who receives the selective treatment since they are breaking the law.
Absolutely - the shooting themselves aspect of guns against "taking them away" is far outweighed by the risk of violent crime.
Have you considered just quiting your job and waiting a few months before getting a new one?

Engineers are quite privleged. We make money hand over fist, more than enough that its pretty trivial to save up 6 months of expenses, and just quit, and do nothing for a couple months.

After all, there is no point in making money if you don't spend it, and one way of spending it is to just take a break from working for a little while. If a break is something you think would make you happy, you should do it.
What happens if you stop working long hours?

I'd be looking there first.

> In reality, a cashless society is a type of enclosure, in which the only form of money in society becomes digital bank chips (a bit like being stuck in a network of casinos where you can no longer exit)

Quote from an interview with the author: "The State endorse a currency as a mean to pay taxes, but what ultimately gives money its power is the network effect: there is no opt out": https://www.ouishare.net/article/on-the-illusion-of-money-an...

The part about CBDCs is interesting: "The banking sector has been attacking the cash system for decades, but confidence in their Layer 2 chips depends on the public being able to redeem them for state money... In reality, Layer 1 CBDC has existed for decades, but it’s traditionally called ‘reserves’ and is only accessible to banks who use it between themselves"

"banks control the Layer 2 system, but see a future in which they might end up sandwiched by competition from a hypothetical Layer 1 CBDC and Layer 3 stablecoin systems (which admittedly plug into them). This is why banks are currently lobbying against CBDC to water it down (e.g. demanding limits upon its use), while demanding that stablecoins be regulated in the same way that banks are"

"The CBDC debate is really about whether access to digital state money should be extended to all of us"
>My aim certainly would not be to pressure them. I also wouldn't immediately disaprove but initiate a discusion as this is the first time it is brought up. But this is also not the social pressure that is involved in canceling. If I were to say "the wall will be red or we break up" that would be a manipulative and an abusive relationship certainly. Me being honest about how I feel about the color and discussing possible options would be best. But I would certainly try to limit any compelling attitude in order to maintain a healthy relationship.

This specifically gave me a theory that might explain our disagreement. You seem to be thinking of this from the perspective of the speaker. I am thinking of it from the perspective of the person who must hear the speech. Reverse this hypothetical for example. Imagine you suggest a color to paint a room and your spouse mentions they hate that color. I assume you are a normal caring person and you would simply pick a different color. It shouldn't even be much of a conversation. If someone you care about objects strongly to something, you automatically feel a pressure to listen because you care about them. It doesn't even matter what they intended by their comment.

Maybe I’m only expanding this analogy beyond interpersonal relationships because I had a couple beers with dinner, but your logic there seems consistent. I get the impression that you think social pressure originates with the speaker. That it primarily is something that is intentional. However, I think its origin is right in the name. It is dictated by how society receives your speech. I don't think any of us have complete control over the social pressure of our speech and in turn any speech can induce social pressure. Meanwhile, you seem to suggest that it can be separated from speech by simply not intending to induce that pressure. That allows you to say “cancelling people is bad” with no ulterior motives to stop people from doing it. I don't think that is how society accepts speech. Society hears "something is bad" as an implicit request not to do said thing. It is motivated by practically the opposite reason as your spouse. Society doesn't care about your opinion at all so the only interpretation of you sharing your opinion is that it is an attempt to impact society in some way.

Basically, you think speech is primarily a method to say something while I am thinking of it as primarily a way to be heard.
Krita can do those things.. just saying.

In a sense, Krita is not just better for painting. It's a better general purpose image editing program, specially in terms of UX
Yes, it is an argument, if you don't like Apple, if you don't want to be part of their ecosystem, do not fund it. Buy something else. It's your choice as a consumer.

It's especially rich you're against Apple here considering Spotify is also a scourge on many musicians and audiophiles lives too ha.

Spotify wants you to fight against Apple so they can have a nice monopoly on the music industry.

This is the same way Elon wants you to fight for "free speech" so he gets a bigger market share of social media. It's not really about "free speech", it's about Elon getting what he wants.

Wake up to yourself.

I am one of those people who just won't exaggerate or lie on my CV or during an interview. I say "i'm not sure, i'd google it the first couple times it came up". I'm not a programmer though. I have a weird skillset that doesn't mesh or gel with what recruiters are looking for, so on the rare occasion i get a recruiter on the phone, i tend to get a job offer at the end of the sequence.

I've had a few startup jobs, a couple megacorp jobs (not Apple), and a handful of mom and pop and defunct business jobs as well.

My least favorite interview questions involve regex or deep internals of BSD or Linux, my favorite interview questions are off the cuff solutions to problems presented, and then backtracking the explanation.

I've also been asked to perform job interviews for positions that i probably ought know enough about to interview a candidate for, but I went off my gut feeling about how the person acted in what i consider a stressful situation (a slew of interviewers asking asinine questions). I don't like interviewing, i am not very good at finding candidates that are "in for the long haul" but every time we were tasked with finding someone who can do X before end of Q3, my hired candidate recommendations always nailed it in that time
frame.
All this is to say, i find the whole process ridiculous. My CV apparently looks like a train wreck. I refuse to wear a tie or get a haircut. I'm eerily relaxed in interview situations.

My trick? one time i hung out with a CEO of an IT company from the PNW, and they basically told me everything i thought i knew was trash, my resume was trash, my attitude was trash, and the only thing i was good at was solving problems in a hurry. We did, in fact, get coffee for our meetup. I scrapped every idea of what a resume should look like - what i envisioned a perfect professional resume looked like - and started fresh. I learned to say no to most recruiters in a way that made them ask me about different "opportunities" more aligned with my personal ethics and values in the future.

I have 4 FPGAs, and i've never done anything with them, because the bitstream is proprietary on all of them. I wouldn't hesitate to tell an interviewer that i am interested in FPGAs and custom ASICs, because i am. I'm also interested in bacteria, but i won't be applying to a bioscience lab anytime soon. I certainly wouldn't say "yeah i can program an FPGA", or C, or do front end development, or any of that.

From my reading of these sorts of comments, in aggregate, most people try to impress the interviewers. I want them to impress me.

Does this make me privileged? Probably. <sigh>
Tbh it came as a bit of shock for me. Purely because of the sentimental value. I haven't had a landline in almost 20 years but I still remember the phone number we grew up with. Once I start a family I also thought "the family" needed a phone number, not just a phone number to each person. I guess that is still possible over mobile phone lines though. I was surprised nevertheless.
