Good luck going into business with seatmates on bus rides.

If you co-own company and other owner goes into full "steal as much shit as possible" mode and you are left with downfall as a co-owner.

You can get into serious trouble and end up dragged through courts for years instead of building your dream company.

Then to prevent that - you start doing due diligence on "bus seatmates" - then it turns out, instead of building your dream company you are spending money/time on screening people.

In the end "finding people with drive" is also finding people that care about the same stuff as you do.

Is it a copycat if it publicly discloses the original?
> Customers learned that the hard way in the early morning hours last week Friday when their email accounts went dark,

The company I work for was directly affected by this, I wondered how come I didn't see it mention here on HN (or maybe I missed it). Either way, we moved to MS Exchange and for the time being it's all for the better.
The worst kind of stealing, the kind where you still have your property!
Classic crust IIRC. The best thing is that even the paper receipt was lacking the crust selection, so it looks to me that every system in the pipeline looked at that `null` value, sighted, and passed it along to the next system, until it reached the cooking area where they will blame the IT guys and slap in the "default" crust. Also I waited for the day that I will receive a plastic cup with just salsa and floating ingredients, but sadly it never happened.
It's funny you mention the whole airline thing. Airline's don't even make money from passengers buying tickets at this point. It's a net-loss in most cases when people fly. They make their profits from loyalty programs mostly. Airlines are banks at this point and operate as such mostly. People flying and travelling is second-hand now.
I see you haven't watched this talk about the history of JavaScript between 1995 and 2035 since that's exactly what happened in this future:

Only when done right. When low-effort posting of said build in public data is done it just looks spammy. It's the IndieHackers problem, that whole site is full of people going "I agree, I did that with <mysite>.com"
Nobody has heard from the redactle.com dev for around a year now. The main difference with redactle unlimited is that the 1 game per day limit is removed and the multiplayer feature is a lot of fun if you're stuck. Just make sure you go to redactle-unlimited.com and NOT the one without the dash!
It's an example of a successful social movement to bring about positive change without violence.

You're entitled to feel however you like, if you want to express that as an argument I'm happy to respond to it, if you don't feel so moved than that's fine too. But if I don't know what about my response makes you say that, there's not really anything more for me to add.

(If you do elaborate, I won't see it until tomorrow because I'm going to log off for the evening now.)
Problem lies here that dodgy institutions without goverment supervision are issuing stable coins so you never know when some crypto guy is going to do rug pull. But first government backed stable coin which you can buy and sell fast will be huge.
Previously I would have said yes but if you aren't destined for systems administration, you can install tools which suit your muscle memory and workload better. VS or atom?

40 year vi and Emacs user btw. I miss classic vi. Nvi isn't quite there and small aspects of Vim grind my gears.
Trying to interpret dreams logically is unlikely to generate explanations that are helpful: there are so many possibilities, and even when one finds an explanation that makes sense, one is left wonderingwhat to do with it. A much more potent approach seems to be to re-explore the dream as image, being mindful of the resonances you can feel in the body, and letting it develop the way it wants, without focusing too much on "understanding" or any specific goal. This might sound a bit abstract, but here is a two part blog post which I think explains this pretty well (I am not the author):

I agree, but the lack of usable ML acceleration is a deal breaker for me. Especially nowadays that stable diffusion and similar models can be run on your Desktop. So, this gap will not only drive hobbysts/professionals away from AMD, but normal users more and more.

Last time I checked ROCM is light years away from CUDA.
I don't trust AMDs drivers after my experience with a RX 6600 XT (which I chose, in part, because of it's open source drivers) on Ubuntu. I experience the following:

* system crashes if I turn on my monitors at the wrong time when waking from sleep. One trigger seems to be a monitor powering on while I'm logging in. Both screens go black and I'm forced to do a hard reboot.

* flickering and parts of the screen going black, which seems to be related to video playback but occurs at other time (for example, while typing this comment)

I didn't have either problem with the NVIDIA card that I used previously.
This is almost accurate. You can slightly increase your chances if you say "I will defect, but will take care of your family and give you half my income forever. If you also defect, we will both go to prison and you will be worse off", then don't actually defect - which means you both cooperate!
It won't always work, but it did work flawlessly in a show called "Split or Steal", which basically made the prisoner's dilemma a TV show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0qjK3TWZE8
Looks great! Do you anticipate any pushback from cloud providers, who might one day decide to restrict access to stop people getting a better price elsewhere?
God that's such a landmine when reading code. Seeing a return without an explicit change of scope... Why ? To save one line ?

Yep that's why I hate ruby - worked on one mature codebase for a year and after seeing various such gems used across the project - from >10 devs - I'm confident I will never touch the language again.
Can say for sure if you have any of FAANG accounts next time you get a new laptop or even reinstall - you will get locked out.

If you're using vscode there's a book about learning vim inside it that's worth a look:

https://www.barbarianmeetscoding.com/boost-your-coding-fu-wi...

Core pitch:

> You may be wondering... Ok. If Vim is so good then... Why not just use Vim instead of Vim inside Visual Studio Code?

> Great question! The truth is that setting Vim to work with a feature set similar to modern text editors is not a trivial task. Features likes code completion, code navigation, in-editor error messages, etc, although supported by Vim don't work perfectly out of the box.

> Visual Studio Code and Vim together offer a very sweet spot that balance the ease of setup and super rich development user experience of Visual Studio Code with lots of the amazing features present in Vim.

> The translation is not yet perfect though. And if you're an experienced Vim user you may find some features missing. But all in all, VSCodeVim offers a very pleasant Vim experience outside of Vim.

But hiring college graduates is so much cheaper and they are so much easier to dazzle and don't have any outrageous demands like being able to spend time with their family. Why hire for quality when you can make it up with quantity?
Good thing Nvidia is finally getting some competition.

Without competition Nvidia will continue to drive prices sky high.

And let's hope Intel manages to stay in the game for the same reasons.

It's hard to get my head around a top end video card costing AUD$3,000.

Even AUD$1,500 seems a ridiculous amount to spend on a graphics card.
I 'm totally with you. Most of human misery, suffering and malice is due to decline, loss, grief and death, and the awareness about them.

People who claim it would be bad to live long are either coping or had a chance at a decent life or believe it would somehow cause unsolvable problems.
Also - you're performing in front of an audience. This is something that can feel stressful in itself, especially when certain individuals in that audience become difficult to deal with. You need to perform at a high level, but you also need to focus on a live chat, unless you're so big that that has become impossible.

Over the longer term you also have the additional problem that you need to keep that audience. What if you're really good at a certain card game that is popular in 2014 and gain a large audience - but then they make changes to it, you get terribly burnt out on it, and would like to do something else, but whenever you do, your viewer count drops massively. Or maybe the successor to a game comes out and turns out poorly, and viewer count for both drops massively afterwards due to a loss of popularity? Your niche can disappear overnight.

Sure, if you make it to the top 0.5%, you'll be quite comfortable. If you don't, you'll be living somewhat precariously unless you do it purely as a hobby and treat your 10 regular viewers as a friend group.

I tried streaming the game of Go purely for fun for a few weeks. It was an interesting experience. Some very nice interactions with a handful of viewers who tuned in, but also one case of backseating (viewers trying to play the game for you), and the difficulty of concentrating on two different things going on at the same time. I found it demanding.
What disappoints me about this shader is that in general it adds antialiasing between almost every scanline and column. When you need to upscale by a small amount like 1.8x that's a lot of blur, over 3/4 of all the pixels on the screen! Another alternative would be halfway between this approach and the point-filtered scaling, by allowing somewhat non-square pixels so that antialiasing is used less.

E.g. point-filtered 1.727x scaling produces pixels sized 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, ... (horrid!)

But you could instead create pixels sized 2, 2, 1.5, 1.5, 2, 2, 1.5, 1.5, 2, 1.5, 1.5, ...

I have seen this used and think it's fairly unintrusive, but would still suffer some "shimmering"/"pixel wobble" when something is moving across the screen very slowly or the screen scrolls slowly.

Nobody with basic knowledge in this area would think of USDC as "highly decentralized censorship proof freedom coin". It is centralised and pegged to USD so obviously it must be intentionally interlinked with the banking system.

> On my top-of-the-line Mac M1 with 64GB of RAM and 10 CPU cores, everything feels lightweight and smooth [...] But when I am at home and want to work on a hobby project, I prefer to use my less powerful laptops [...] after just an hour or so writing code and running tests using IntelliJ, the laptop becomes unusably hot. The fans get louder and louder until it’s really annoying.

To add my anecdotal evidence: I have a relatively new Dell Core i7 laptop with "only" 16 GB of RAM, and while using IntelliJ IDEs "normally" (i.e. not while it's updating its cache), the CPU usage rarely goes above 5%. So the impression that you need top of the line hardware for running IntelliJ products that the blog post is giving is a bit exaggerated...
Yeah. For the 7900 XT/XTX though it's already quite clear if you want it, you really want an AIB board and not the reference card, which seem to be marginal overall (power delivery, cooling).
Well js might have killed js programs. But I can go back to my python and C projects after a couple of years and rebuild them just fine.
Hopefully another big player in the global ponzi scheme hitting the wall soon.
I wonder if you could improve perceived sharpness by adding sinc-like ringing borders around blended pixel edges, or if the average LCD pixel density is low enough this would produce visible artifacts. Note that this will not work for edges where one or both sides is close to full-scale black or white, since you can't produce darker than black (physically), or brighter than full-scale white (without HDR).
Just 'better' (less fuckups) or it works 100% and its production ready? :)

... just use FreeBSD with OpenZFS for RAIDZ/RAIDZ2/RAIDZ3 pools instead.

They likely have a reserve of say $100M in USDC to fulfil withdrawals, and only when withdrawals exceed that amount before they can do the bank transfers to top it up will they have to suspend withdrawals
The fact that you think dying is good is a feeling. It is based on an article of faith - it must be, because you cannot make coherent arguments for the necessity of death that aren't either based on faith or other issues that are solvable in ways that don't kill people.

I'm not "just being offensive". Death is harmful, and insisting it must happen is perpetrating death. If you insist this, you are perpetrating a harmful ideology that interferes with research into senescence and therefore contributes to suffering.
In Perl you can write postfix conditionals: `thing() unless $condition`, which at least is more natural usage of "unless" to a native English speaker than the other way around. That's the best way to use it IMO.
rapid is ok… constantly breaking backwards compatibility is the issue.
we should stop saying javascript when we mean nodejs. there are plenty of javascript ecosystems now and not all have those issues. if someone wants to use the latest experimental nodejs framework in a project sure its going to be difficult to continue a few years later, but if you want to build a sustainable long term project in javascript its simple to do. only use dependencies without binaries inside and only web standard apis no node apis and vendor/ hard pin everything you depend on. also use less dependencies 98% of what typical nodejs projects have is tech debt that is not needed.
I have heard good things on "OCaml from the very beginning" (available at https://johnwhitington.net/ocamlfromtheverybeginning)
While I love Ruby, and love the concept of DragonRuby, it’s a really naive and simple engine.

It’s basically a wrapper around SDL, which means you’ll have to create everything you want in a game engine. But it’s a really good start to understand graphics and game programming..

I’d recommend cocos (2D) if you wanna create a 2D game. It’s very high performance, full features and is supported on almost any platform. You can write in c++, or use JavaScript / lua.

You need to remove your device as a 2FA device. then you can TOTP code as only entry point.

The author has only started. He only has stuff set up and checked speed. He hasn’t yet become as efficient as he was with JetBrains.

He might never become that, and after 20-30 days, he might throw in the towel and go back to JB.

We're already doing it! Simply destroy our biosphere with pollution and global heating, and then our technological society will collapse, preventing AIs for all time to come.
I have a bit different view.

If some app is not updating - there is not much use for it.

Just like houses - yeah you can have 100 years old house but if you did not invest in it and expect to be just as good as new you are in world of pain.

Same with cars - 10 years and you really have to change quite some parts.

Applications are ideas - we expect that ideas don't "wear out" - well most of ideas wear out rather quickly and are not useful for centuries.

My javascript app is not Plato "cave allegory" - but that is fine and also what makes javascript app valuable, I can throw it away and rebuild from scratch even better with low effort. Data storage or formats should be usable for at least 5-8 years. There are things that should be preserved for longer - but these are exceptions. Most stuff after 2 years is not that useful anymore.
In most engineering domains, testing is a proper specialty. So design engineers don't do the testing themselves and get "their hands dirty", but testing does happen.

I've been working on airliner design and have ordered, specified, and reviewed a fair number of mechanical tests. Yet I've never actually built and ran the test rig myself, it's a full time job for specialists.
Show HN: Shitty ML Framework for Java

This is meant to be used to play around and have fun with it.
It is not reasonable at all. It means that:

1. They are not prepared at all for a "bank run"

2. USDC on the exchange are not backed by real USDC. Therefor they need to market buy them.

3. CZ is telling people to withdraw using BUSD and USDT, both more or less Binance controlled stables that are much harder to convert into real USD.

It would be extremely wise to exit Binance and Binance related coins such as BNB, BUSD and Tether.
What I fear is that U.S. Government is meddling with the only exchange that works properly in Venezuela and Argentina, especifically for the P2P trade.

I know this tweet is not about P2P, but let me explain.

In Venezuela and Argentina, the parallel markets are the true king of the economy. You have to exchange money using P2P exchanges if you want to barely have decent personal finances, you know, to access good currency exchange rates.

It's true that other P2P exchanges exist, like Airtm and Reserve. They just do not have the capacity nor good exchange rates to appropriately cover market needs. They just can't, they are not as resourceful as Binance.

If the U.S. Government starts meddling with Binance and Binance has to close, reduce functionality or kill the P2P feature on the grounds of AML, it's going to send Venezuela and Argentina to the dark ages again.

EDIT: Egregious typos.

XEmacs was my IDE when UNIX environments didn't offer anything better, and most likely Emacs nowadays has implemented most of the stuff that XEmacs had going for it over Emacs.

So it was my "IDE" between 1995 - 2005 when working on UNIX, muscle memory is still there and I still remember basic elisp stuff, yet I see no reason to abandon my IDE's, now that they are available everywhere that matters to me.

> Having a bricked eye implant doesn't just rob you of your sight – many Argus users experience crippling vertigo and other side effects of nonfunctional implants. The company has promised to "do our best to provide virtual support" to people whose Argus implants fail – but no more parts and no more patches.

How can it be legal to do this to people, couldn't the implants just keep working with the existing firmware? Why did the company have to deliberately brick them all?

This is absolutely horrifying.
Maybe, maybe not. But your comment comes off as mean spirited. People will lose a lot of their hard earned money if that happens.

Sometimes people's empathy doesn't travel past their own personal horizon which seems to be the case with your comment.
This is the fiction of Crypto though - we're all here in this space because we want decentralized censorship-proof, public recorded transactions, and we then proceed to immediately abandon all of those principles to trade dollar denominated assets on a central exchange that operates out of a shady jurisdiction.

Yes, we all know what the point of crypto was. Yes we all know what is actually happening, the only question left is why the hell are we still doing it?
