You are right. But I would contend that the technical solutions still have a lot of friction.

Remember back in the day, when you just downloaded limewire or kazaa and that was all that was needed to get on a decentralized file sharing network.

Compare this to the recent experience of many people deciding on a mastodon server and joining it and figuring out how to follow people from other servers.

To be fair, hn submissions are a total crapshoot; don't take it too hard. The first upvote comes down to whether the right person looks at the new submissions queue at the right moment...

No, this is just one scenario. There could be other scenarios, for example, 300m being born but 100m losing their lives because of British policy, and the rest dying because of high infant mortality, epidemics, and so on. The point is, 100m over 100 years because of an inhumane and callous colonial master is just not as unthinkable as the parent commenter makes it out to be.

Edit: 11 million minorities, including 6 million Jews, were killed in 4 years during the holocaust. In many countries, the Jewish population did not recover at all.

In 2020, Covid-19 slashed the average American life expectancy by 1.8 years. This is for a population of 320 - 350 million. The article contends that Indian life expectancy dropped by a whopping 5 years at the height of British colonial power. For a large and populous country to lose 5 years of life expectancy is a pretty big deal no matter what way you slice it.

TikTok is an international version of Douyin, which was released in the Chinese market in September 2016.[10] It launched in 2017 for iOS and Android in most markets outside of mainland China; however, it became available worldwide only after merging with another Chinese social media service, Musical.ly, on 2 August 2018.

From the links above Vine was already dying if not completely dead before TikTok was ascendent.

I mean that's probably because it's specifically geared towards exercises like this. Languages built for advent of code will probably prioritize stuffing as much syntactic sugar as possible rather than writing maintainable code

Your criticisms are valid, but only if you're approaching it from the perspective of using it for a full-fledged project.

More likely use cases are quick scripts you wanna write or little thought experiments you wanna try out. For that, it's likely a great choice of language

I do intermittent fasting for health reasons, not to impress people (that is what Archlinux is for). When I do it, headaches go away and I lose excess fat.

Breakfast was glorified in order to sell more cereal at the beginning of the industrial age, so perhaps what they call "intermittent fasting" is more like "returning to normal" in a society where everything is coated with dangerous amounts of sugar and salt. So I'd say take those anthropology generalizations with a grain of salt.

There are a lot of bigger picture items around energy. Part of Europe's challenge with the war in Ukraine is that a lot of countries buy Russian gas & oil.

>Russia accounted for about 55% of Germany’s natural gas imports and 35% of Germany’s oil imports last year, causing Germany to resist a blanket European Union ban on Russian energy.

If every country could assure their energy independence, geopolitics would look very different. Yes, there are still many problems, like natural resources. But if you can assure all your residents can keep the lights on, their houses warm and the economy moving (EV's for transit, technology)... its very reassuring.
Great video, thanks.

So airport codes are no better than "standard" book numbers - ISBNs are not unique, contrary to what one may thing, and, yes, the mantra is "one book, two numbers" because there is "old" ISBN and the more recent "ISBN-13" with more digits.

I started cataloging my home library using the barcodes on the books and pulling the meta-data from Amazon via ISBNs, but ever so often, the cover image pulled was for a completely different book, although the barcode contains a check sum and the Amazon data was not incorrect. The reason? ISBN re-use! (rolling eyes)

This reminded me of the dude in one former company who proposed to reuse UUIDs...

I'm using VSCode to do dev programming, and GitHub Copilot helps a lot in my programming process, save me a lot of time from some tedious stuff.

The games are not doing much OS interaction at all. That's where most of the delays come from (when it's not just poor internal architecture). The games do physics, logic and video rendering. They typically have a relatively direct path to the GPU, bypassing most of the kernel.

This is not a model for applications in general.

That doesn't mean that the sluggish desktop apps should not be fixed, but "be more like games" is not really the right advice.
> It doesn't matter to me that Erlang's GC is hypothetically faster because of its actor model when Go is just straight-up so much faster across the board that it doesn't matter.

It's still relevant if you need consistency. Any GC language eventually has to defragment the heap, and any pervasive-shared-mutability language pretty much has to stop the world to do so. For all that Go is a high throughput language (something that's overstated IME), it's not suitable for realtime, and Erlang is.
If it takes 300 one time in the future to start a long term reaction that’s a price I think we would all pay. The fact that we proved the idea now makes this just an engineering problem.
Actually it depends on the platform.For a standalone product I think this advice is correct.

However if you are building a game or publishing on a specific platform launch dates do matter as they provide your most significant visitor boost from the platform. This is important because your future exposure might be permanently damaged because of a bad initial launch.

An example of this is avoid launching indie games on mass sales

It absolutely is not. At best, maybe a soft real time problem.

Hard real time problems are ones where people die, stuff is destroyed etc. when deadlines are missed.

No, we write code under pressure with deadlines for yesterday, multiplying technical debt and making another person who will inherit our project question their life choices.
I'm curious what sort of work you did since you mention a plant. Some work in both software and traditional engineering is going to be held to higher standards, so I think it can be hard to compare.

For example, another commenter mentioned aviation. I would fully expect that industry to be more rigorous with both their software and physical engineering.

> since you cannot fix a 400 million dollar assembly as easily as code

Have you never seen these projects go wrong? I find that people often imply that things don't break and projects don't fail in traditional engineering when that actually seems to happen more often than most people would think.

For example, a ~$30M council parking building project in my city had to be demolished midway through the project because they messed up the design and it was structurally unsound.
The DoE budget is largely military in nature, too. Be sure to count the spooks' portion, as well.
I am writing this reply not to dissuade you, but rather to hopefully be helpful in your understanding of what is happening here. As they say, life is a game, learn the rules, and I will attempt to explain one of the rules here. It may sound harsh - that's not my intent. I did't make up the rules, I just play the game...

Firstly;

>> Nothing I am interested in working on is ever going to be profitable. Simple as that.

This is a critical understanding. Because it helps you to determine what _value_ you get from an activity.

For most of us, let's say 99%+, we have creative hobbies. Some play music, some write, some cook, some make pottery or art, some program. The value of a hobby is that the process itself brings us personal joy. The value gained is in the process, not the result.

I've started making pottery. Some of it comes out the way I like, some doesn't. Some doesn't survive the firing process. But there is joy in working the clay, joy in decorating the result, joy in the finished piece. But it's safe to assume I will never sell the results (as in, no-one will buy them) and in some ways selling them would rob me of the "hobby". Frankly, I'd rather give them away. Given how much I pay for the studio time etc it'll never be profitable.

So if i's not profitable, why do it? Because doing it brings me joy.

So it is with programming. Either you are doing it for profit (work) or for fun (hobby). If you are doing side-projects primarily for money then for starters, don't write a game. there are a zillion games in the world, and just like music, the number of them that make actual money are vanishingly small. Going from "I need money" to "I'll write a game" is not a good strategy.

Lots of Indies write games though because writing games can be as much fun as playing them. The joy is not in the selling, but in the process. As long as you end up with a game you like to play, well, you have your reward.

In many ways, most open-source projects can be thought of as "hobbies", not in a pejorative sense but because, for most of us, they are not income. The value has to lie elsewhere, in the creation process, in the community or whatever.

>> I wish I could throw my computer into a river.

Clearly the act of programming is not bringing you joy. For you the computer is work, and you should use it doing things that people are paying you to do. That's completely ok. I use my car to go to a place I want to be, I don't "go for a drive". For me a car is just a tool, for others it's a major part of their lives. That's ok, we're all different.

So, in conclusion, if you want to make money with your computer, then there are lots of ways to do that. (hint: it's not in writing games.) If you need suggestions in this space, then by all means ask.

But most of all I encourage you to find an outlet for your creative instincts. One where you get joy from the process, not profit from the result. Programming is not providing that. Tech is not providing that. People are not providing that. You need to find that for yourself.

Good luck!
RSS mainly failed because the predominant model for funding content creation is ads. Sadly, RSS is a poor medium for ads—to get more revenue, content creators were incentivized to bring users to their own sites rather than syndicating rich or useful feeds.

There’s a lot that goes into the success of social media over the last couple decades and figuring out the best ad revenue models was a big part of it.

You might be right about onboarding to FAANG tooling. I was pretty surprised at how complex it was to build a non-trivial backend service at Google: the abstractions used by our chosen internal framework were not straightforward and it took some serious mental effort to wrap my head around everything, despite being familiar with Rails and Spring and the like. Of course once I figured out the tools I was able to create massively scaled stuff much more productively than I could with any open-source tooling. But if I was just a little less smart I might have never figured it out at all.

Personally I don’t think my mental “versatility” got too much exercise there, except maybe in rescuing production systems in emergencies. But presumably if you stick enough smart people together someone will eventually invent something novel and profitable, even if the median employee never does.

Good point. What were the PayPal competitors in the early days?
It boils down to the distinction between people who:
1. want to get content precisely tailored to their interests (high signal to noise ratio), at the expense od time invested in finding and curating sources and limited chances od discovering news stuff.
2. want to get content quickly, without much of the hassle at the expense of potential spam/uninteresting stuff.

Is lying to Congress going to be added to his charges ?

In congressional testimony on May 12, he called FTX’s software “safe, tested and conservative.”
By quickly unwinding the riskiest, most undercollateralized positions, the risk engine prevents build-up of credit risk that could otherwise cascade beyond the platform, resulting in contagion,” Bankman-Fried testified.
He did not tell lawmakers about the software change to exempt Alameda. Indeed, he told investors that Alameda received no preferential treatment from FTX, the SEC complaint said
Hardware supportted frame generation is on AMD cards until the 5xx series. And not many people actually use them. AMD dropped them since the rdna series.

It's so confusing from my perspective.

In my opinion. Frame generation only looks good when use with texture without too much detail, it looks shitty when use with complex(realistic) textures.
That would be true in an ideal world, but pilots are also only human, so at least some of them will sometimes misread or ignore all that gibberish. To quote Wikipedia:

> In July 2017, Air Canada Flight 759 nearly crashed into four other airliners as it attempted to land on a San Francisco taxiway misidentified as a runway: the adjacent runway was closed but the information was buried in the NOTAM. As a consequence, in September 2018, from the findings during its investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) stated NOTAMs were unintelligible and ignored, and recommended a more effective information presentation for better relevance. NTSB chairman Robert Sumwalt described NOTAMs as "a bunch of garbage that nobody pays any attention to". This led to an ICAO initiative to reform the NOTAM system.
nebula[0] may be interesting; you can allow list connectivity for specific groups, all burned into the cert used to join the network. It uses some NAT hole punching orchestration to accomplish connectivity between hosts without opening ports.

The main painful thing I've found has been cert management. PKI, as usual, is not a solved problem.

I've managed to do some fun stuff using salt + nebula on the hobby side.

I had a similar thought about numbers that exist or don't.

In my book, something like two or ten exists - because my kid can hold up 2 fingers and say 2 or all of them and say 10. I am saying that you can actually count to those numbers in physical space.

But at some point, the number is like larger than the number of atoms in the universe (or whatever you think is the biggest domain we can count) and once you go past that number, your counts represent abstract numbers that don't have a physical representation.

Same thing as programmers making tools; if you know you have a defined set of inputs and outputs that you need to use over and over, it might make sense to write your own functions, methods, classes, macros and programs. Taking that one step further, it might then morph into a full blown custom programming language. Domain specific languages are after all fairly common in many domains.
Well you're wrong that it doesn't allow participation. It just separates read from write. Participation can be in the form of additional feeds. It can be in the form of a feed remixer (moderation or aggregation).
The first time Epic tried to push Fortnite on Android they accidentally introduced a backdoor to every single device that installed their homebrew updater.

And we're not talking advanced memory safety exploit, breakout the ROPs "backdoor". They requested permission to install apps, then went on to silently install any apk that was put in a path with 0 verification.

It's the kind of lazy mistake that puts on full display the fact that at the end of the day, Epic doesn't care about anything as bold as freedom. They were so giddy to get around the Play Store cut that they couldn't put 5 seconds into thinking about anything besides "how quickly can we roll this thing out to people and get our cash cow back on track?"
They are one-offs, but even if they were to be mass-produced, they require extraordinary precision. I very much doubt claims that one can be built in the range of a few dollars that each shot is worth in terms of generated electricity.

The reports you quote actually mention the target costs very clearly. The IAEA one talks about needing 500,000 targets per day, and sets a target of 0.30$ per target. At the time it was written, it says that a target costs 1000$, which is probably before NIF found put just how much more stringent the requirements for the shape of the target were (since the numbers I saw last time NIF achieved ignition were closer to hundreds of thousands of dollars per target, though maybe I am misrembering).

It's also worth noting that that report was expecting NIF to achieve the current milestone within 3-6 years, and it actually took 13. So I feel their numbers can well be considered optimistic.

Other than the reputational hit unless they knew about the embezzlement, what would it be? They probably didn't know what was going on, either.
