As a teen boy in the 90s, console gaming with friends was way more common than playing PC games online.

GoldenEye was THE multiplayer game that every boy with an N64 had to have. There was just nothing else like it at the time.

The conspicuous lack of blood and gore in the game made it much more acceptable for parents to buy in a time period when violence in video games was still a hot button culture war issue.

This same cohort of gamers moved on to Perfect Dark, then Halo when those games came out. This wave eventually dissipated into all the mass market console FPS shooters we have today.
Yea don't hold me for the rigor of my statement, it was just a comparison of magnitude.

You're right that they've already passed the bag to investors, possibly a lot of that to retail - they can all still have a nice "fuck you" dinner in their honor!
> A fun experiment but LLM generated stories will never escape the uncanny valley, because they're not novel, they're remixes

Kid's books aren't intended to be novel. It's not like a four year old is going to say, "Man, this is a retread of Hamlet!" They are often re-tellings packaged up in a new way to appeal to kids in the current generation. Sometimes as simple as removing sexist, classist, and/or racist elements.

Not sure how it matches feature for feature, but https://opensky-network.org has been crowdsourcing unfiltered ADSB data for longer, provides tools to view the data and supplies full API access to the raw data to academics and non-profits at no charge.

There's room for another provider, and at the same time lots of enthusiasts with the boxes will carry on sending it, like they do to other closed source, profit-making ventures like FlightAware and Flightradar24...
Your choice of dev environment should be driven by product requirements, period. Dev environments should dogfood the production supply chain as much as possible, meaning use the same base container/OS/toolchain/etc that will be used in production.

Otherwise you are going to miss bugs/vulnerabilities and spend a lot of time keeping dev/prod provisioning in sync.

Deploying to containers/k8s? Develop in a container.

Deploying to VM/bare metal? Develop in a VM (Vagrant).

Developing a portable library? Nix may be a good fit.
Fastmail allows the creation of lots of aliases which can be useful if you think your email address might be abused after signup. I guess you could use plus addresses as well since gmail supports them but they can be ignored.
This is untrue for some definitions of "world." For me, "world" can consist of a few things.

"World" can mean your immediate environment. Plenty of people can claim their death would not be "OK" for those in their immediate environment.

"World" can consist of your society at a regional or national level. Again, plenty of people can claim their death would be harmful at this level. Look at the Huey Long assassination, or the spike in suicide rates after Robin Williams ending himself due to dementia.

"World" can consist of all the people in the world. If Stanislav Petrov died prior to him preventing the end of (most of) the world, this level of the "world" would not be OK. If Gates had died decades ago, millions more each year would be dying of malaria. His death would leave the "world" "not OK."

"The world will always be okay" as a mindset is only true if your idea of the world is the rock itself. I find it hard to care about the rock itself.

How does this proove the point? In the example given, the diabetic is expending more calories (through waste) than the non-diabetic... the model still holds valid. The diabetic has less net calories absorbed by their body.

>how do we know there aren't factors yet to be discovered?

We don't and can't (by definition), that's part of the scientific process. Part of that process requires us to find evidence to the contrary or provide a viable testable competing argument. We don't just waive our hands in the air and claim magic gremlins are making people skinny or fat since there are likely limits to human understanding and knowledge, especially at any given specific point on time.

Most the evidence out there, that I'm aware of, vehemently supports the CICO model and it makes sense as a complex system resting up very well studied chemical and physical phenomena. The only thing broken seems to be a general understanding of the model being discussed.
"working inside"?
Definitely, what is even the point of jailing him? You want him jailed as punishment not for anyone’s actual safety. To
me that is exceedingly cruel and a waste of a human life. We can do better than that.

- Instead of losing half his money he now loses 75% of it.

- Instead of alimony 40% of his earnings and appreciation of assets are garnished.

All the money gets split between the wife’s family and a charity that financially supports the victims of violent crime.

- He loses all stake in the company he built and can’t hold any position in the company or a position the company contracts with. All his shares get returned to the company itself like a buyback (that he doesn’t benefit from).

- He is not allowed to remarry.

- He will get tattooed with a symbol people will recognize as a domestic abuser on his pelvis. It won’t show in normal circumstances but any intimate partner will know and he’ll have to explain it for the rest of his life.

If that’s not punishment enough for you then come
up with your own scheme. Just so long as it’s not torture and he can continue living a semi-normal life among the rest of society since he’s not actually a danger to anyone.

Bet our hypothetical homeboy will regret his murder a million times more than sitting in a luxury prison for rich people while his stocks appreciate.
That's a good question and sometimes I wrestle with that. But hype cycles are real, and with some things I think there's just a lot of unanswered questions that get glossed over, or even worse, fundamental problems with underlying logic or something?

Studies have shown that people are pretty good at identifying when studies won't replicate, and I think that insight (foresight?) among some extends to identifying overhyped research. I think part of the issue with "disruptive" ideas in science is that I think there's enough people who don't recognize potential problems with it before it can catch on a lot before water is put on the fire, so to speak.

There's some analogies to things like Theranos or crypto probably. They get a lot of monetary investments, and a lot of enthusiasm, but then there's also lots of pushback. You could get into arguments about whether or not they are truly disruptive -- maybe they haven't been -- but I think defining that also is murkier in science also.

Maybe truly truly disruptive ideas are hard to dismiss as mere hype, but I think in the grey area between, a lot of things look relatively disruptive but are overhyped.

It probably varies a lot by field too.
After you read enough posts from crypto-bros the difference between a joke and seriousness in terms of crypto tends to no longer exist.
I think even in context its a bit dangerous. Who counts as diverse, and who gets cut in that consideration? Imagine there are three employees, and one of them has to go due to budget cuts. One is a straight African American male, one is a white homosexual male, and one is a white straight female. All of these might be considered diverse because they are all minorities in the tech industry in some way. However, taking any of these three people's race, sexuality, or gender into consideration when making the decision might open the door to lawsuits. How do you make the decision between these three people? Is there a certain level of diversity that would ensure that they keep their job?

I apologize if I come off as ignorant...Im not sure how these things work in law. However, I can't think of any way that taking someone's personal attributes that they cannot help into consideration when laying others off would result in anything but resentment towards the company.

Ask HN: Why BSD kernels are so much more stable? Linux is addicted to jamming
I don't even remember having to reboot any desktop FreeBSD installation in my life and I been around FreeBSD machines for over a decade and half. On production servers under load of many many many users it happened maybe 3 times total out of these 2 times it was most likely due to hardware malfunction and other one because hitting some sysctl limits - I don't remember more details. While desktop Linux distributions get hiccups and freezes regularly merely from running firefox or some desktop software that starts having memory leaks after running for few days.

Why there is such huge disproportion?
They do. I've seen it. It's been in the works for years. Each time I've worked in the warehouses things have changed. It's not fully automated, but improvements have been made.

Thinking about it a little more, I can imagine the brand of James Bond was more well-suited to a mass-market first person shooter in the English-speaking world as well.

If you’re a baby boomer in the 90s, the avant-grade, heavy-metal, DOOM is kind of foreign and part of the larger discussion on violent video games. 007 (published by the Mario company!) might be a little more nostalgic for you, and you might be more engaged with your millennial child’s interest in it.
I agree. And often, people don't draw the line at corporations. So many people in America are willing to screw over others if it means another dollar in their pocket.

IIUC, MVVM apps can handle delayed messages - that sit in the outbox while waiting to reestablish network connectivity - better than apps without such layers.

Which mobile apps work during intermittent connectivity scenarios like disasters and disaster relief (where first priority typically is to get comms back online in order to support essential services (with GIF downloads and endless pull-to-refresh))?

Nice defense from a PR firm for a guy who's talking to water. He's paused his professional career at times to make this point. Publicly thrown out of a country, etc. Do you think anti-vaxxers agree with him? Does it matter that he doesn't agree with them, if he still furthers their cause?

This sounds like a great way to destroy the longevity of my battery.

If they want to use my car as grid storage, then the power company better pay to replace my battery, plus compensate me for the added inconvenience of having to perform that maintenance far more frequently.

Maybe those would actually be advantages in a world where network delay and connectivity issues aren't a thing.

Stadia reminds me of the time Homer Simpson designed a car. Just because an idea sounds ingenious doesn't mean it will result in an ingenious product. Actually, Stadia is a lot like Homer's car. Instead of Homer, the reigns were seemingly handed to engineer-types living in the Silicon Valley bubble who thought it'd be cool to play games over VNC (an oversimplification, yes). The product should never have seen the light of day and, when unveiled, everyone who saw it knew it was doomed.

In reality, most people just don't care about downloading game updates, regardless of how unreasonably gargantuan they can be. It's arguably a good thing that people have to take some break from gaming. Regardless, there's no evidence that downloading updates is preventing any meaningful number of users from spending more money on gaming. Anti-cheat software sucks, but again, it's not much of a roadblock for most gamers if at all.

The disadvantages outweigh the benefits. Input lag is frustrating, even if it happens occasionally, and is borderline unacceptable when playing online multiplayer games. Lose access to internet? Just go read a book, kid!

At best, Stadia might have been a niche product for the minority who would want it. Not in a million years would I have wanted a Stadia.

To compete in the highly competitive sphere of gaming, Stadia needed more of a value proposition than being able to play games instantly without downloading updates.

I stay in a lot of hotels. I’ve never once been called.

I get called by hotels all the time. But maybe because I stay in s a lot of "high touch" properties that pride themselves on providing exemplary service.

You're not going to get called by a Holiday Inn Express. But you certainly will get called when you're spending $800+ a night.
Related to this, I swear that once I started writing my homework solutions in LaTeX in grad school, I suddenly just started getting better grades. I don't think I was actually any more convincing; it just seems like turning in a paper that looked like it was written in LaTeX primed my profs to think was more convincing than I was.
Uh... what? Whose idea, exactly? Because that's an absolutely terrible idea. Altitude-induced hypoxia isn't like some kind of controlled medical anesthesia. If all the passengers fall unconscious from it then it's neigh certain that at least some of them are going to die. That's why commercial airplanes have emergency oxygen masks for passengers, not just the pilot.

If both passengers and the pilot aren't being supplied with enough oxygen to remain conscious 100% of the time, then something has gone horribly wrong. If the reason passengers aren't being supplied with enough oxygen to remain conscious is because the pilot cut off their air supply intentionally, then that's even worse. (Though again, thankfully that situation seems to be extremely rare.)
It's remarkable that, for an industry that prides itself on having individualist approaches and everyone doing things their own way, everyone somehow also keeps trying to give universally true advice.

That said, the title is, explicitly, "What WE Look for in a Resume". The intro makes it clear this is about them and them only and is more of a transparency report, an encouragement for others to be more open too. So I wouldn't blame this particular post of trying to be too general.
Aside: Running a 5k is something some people can do without any training at all. I ran about 5 km without stopping the second time I ran after 10 years of inactivity and I am sure I could have done it the first time too if I had really wanted to. A more reasonable challenge would be to run a 20 minute 5k. I feel that is roughly equivalent to dead lifting 500 lbs.

What do you think about trump 'selling secrets', in the light of the recent story of Sergey Shestakov and Charles McGonigal?

Again, I don't like taking sides. Just searching for absolute truth. We will never get there, but we can try.

My guess is supply constraints. Tesla would rather sell cars than Powerwalls; other suppliers can't make a dent in the market because EVs are slurping up all the capacity at every level of the supply chain. This really is only a guess though.
If you commit only to private repos then you shouldn’t be linking to your GitHub, as this article also says.

Resumes are for communication. Communicate! Tell the reader what you do, and demonstrate it as much as you can. Everyone knows that private repos are a thing, that’s okay. This can be articulated.
I noticed MRR is the key measure reported by startups. I've seen some startups in really saturated markets have very high MRR and it made me wonder if they're just spending $.99 of every $1 on ads so really they do not make any profit but high revenue. Can you comment on profit vs revenue?
>The different weapons available were varied by capabilities and limitations, and led to some fun and interesting scenarios and strategies.

Right. Quake and unreal had different weapons which at least in multiplayer had different uses already (rail, lg, rox, etc) but the different types of weapons in goldeneye were "real" and not fantasy, and their abilities affected the actual missions, namely, automatics were powerful but loud and blew your cover, the silenced pp7 was good for quiet kills, but missing meant you only had 6 other shots to make with firing speed of a pistol. It wasn't quake dm where you just jumped in and killed people (or monsters for 1 player), you had objectives and needed strategy to beat a level.

It would presage the plethora of what you'd consider fpses in the 2000s and 2010s, and even today.
Let's say there is a freckled girl in front of me.

I could do all the following

1) See freckles

2) Find it attractive

3) Fire them

4) Convince others freckles are evil and all freckled people need executed

5) Not watch their show because I don't like freckles

Yeah the reasoning the same; I did it because the freckles. Therefore basically I did the same thing.

Brilliant jjulius. And this is all ignoring I'm not even making any criminal presumptions against Rick and Morty or my reputation in connection with associating with someone criminally charged. So really neither my reasoning nor the act is the same.
I think you can start with what you would like to automate. It might be difficult for individuals to come up with an idea, but companies tend to have manual/recurring tasks which they spend time and money. So those tasks are the potential pain points that needs to be automated.
doubt it, should be on OS level, gpu control for all possible vendors and output formats is impossible without gpu driver support.
Very cool and well executed project. Love the sprinkle of Rust in all the other companion projects as well :)

The ROAPI(https://github.com/roapi/roapi) project I built also happened to support a similar feature set, i.e. to expose sqlite through a variety of remote query interfaces including pg wire protocols, rest apis and graphqls.

Most of those sound very solvable. Even limited peripheral vison. Either you can/should physically resolve that in the goggles or you virtually resolve it with wider FOV on cameras and good use of software.

I have my own instance, and it eats disk space, in a fun and sometimes difficult to recover way.

It caches all media that you view, and I assume it might prefetch stuff to. It has a tool that prunes out old cached images and such. However that script isn't setup to run automatically (or if it is, its far too loosey-goosey)

However the biggest killer is that it doesn't clear cached user page header images. Here is the output of my cache. Headers are not cleaned, and need to be deleted manually.

Not to be cynical, but I doubt the lesson will ever get learned. These things start with big ideas, hope, and an ignorance of the practical details. Over time, practical realities, like paying for goods and services, crop up. In a capitalist society, most of the ready-made solutions to that look like businesses. And our current culture of capitalism then shifts toward short-term revenue-maximization, putting things in the hands of predators and sociopaths.

I know people have made attempts to solve this, like B Corps and groups like the Apache Foundation. But I don't think we're there yet. One could try to create a foundation that specifically incubates projects that go beyond open source to open/collective services. But even if one solves funding for that, there's still the problem of finding the naive starters of things and crushing their dreams just enough to get them on a better course, but not so much that they quit.

It would be really interesting to make a video compressor that specializes in "recompressing" previously compressed data. A simple version could be special handling of common compression artifacts and trying to detect various transforms and trying to take advantage of the detail already removed instead of removing additional detail.

If you knew the codec used originally you could even try to (near) perfectly reconstruct the original bitstream. Especially if you know various codec parameters and some side-channel data (such as which video data is contained in which encrypted blocks) it may be possible to relatively efficiently search for the bitstream that decompresses to the data that you are seeing.
I was thinking of it more like, if you look at who you're planning to layoff and it is 50% white females -- and your employee population is only 20% white female... then you should probably take a look at why. Has some unintended bias crept into your decision making.
I think it's funny that people believe that folks have stopped quiet quitting.

They haven't. They won't. This is the world the wealthy have created for themselves. People who aren't allowed to have skin in the game shouldn't pretend like they do for the rich who build wealth off of their labor.

The value of family is one of those things that's a huge blind spot for "intellectual-types", but completely obvious to most normal people over the age of 25. It's too easy to think you're above it all, that your intelligence means you must have a higher calling, or that you're Not Like Other People. But it's not true. It takes humility to acknowledge that you're behind the curve in figuring this out, but better to learn it the hard way than before it's too late.
