aseo is right, of course, but even with game engines it depends on the game. Modern hardware is fast enough that you can get away with a lot. Minecraft used to be written in Java, 2D games that aren't Dwarf Fortress can be written in practically anything.

If you're an indie dev you usually don't want to strain the hardware with extremely complex models and textures and rendering pipelines, because you don't have the money to produce or source these models and textures.
How does it handle the find key-binding / being used by some sites (such as github) for site-search?

The CEO doesn’t have AI experience either. In this case, diversity could have played a major role.
Doesn't sound good for the employee.

Why would people wanna work somewhere you can't speak about their job role? I think that'd filter out tons of applicants.
Countless creative projects. I was never much of an art type person before I started taking long breaks from work. With this free time I've been able to break away from mainstream thought towards creativity and consumption and started exploring the quiet, slow world of human perception and awareness. A stronger appreciation for the parts of society that capitalism doesn't care about because it's unprofitable. All my ideas relate to slowly engaging with an unfiltered reality. I've taken on more of an artists view of the world, and the world and nature is full of inspiration.
There are a ton of Debian system build tools out there and people keep making new ones:

The author of the article says he's nearly 80, and also an immigrant. I assume all his family is is in a similar age bracket. They tried using the customer service on the website because that was the most honest approach, to contact the seller and take responsibility for making a mistake. It may not be obvious to them that there's only a short time window to make a decision about the charge.

Perhaps it doesn't make sense to you because you are not old enough to remember a time when there was such a thing as customer service and an expectation of integrity in commerce.
I was curious about "thesaurus" given that is not a dictionary but still a "word book".

According to Google Translate, apparently Wörterbuch also means thesaurus so OP is correct, it is more ambiguous than dictionary.

The first suggested translation for thesaurus is... thesaurus... so much for compound words eh?
and if you're encoding an x265 file, it needs

>The counterargument is that lots of words allow for precise concision.

In fact, the hallmark of writing/speaking good English is conveying yourself using the least words required with the utmost precision.

Don't believe it? Watch a British politician roast someone in Parliament. That is bloody masterful English literature right there.
you missed the posters point. they are advocating for more abstractions, not fewer like assembly would give you. and who mentioned OOP?

I'm currently on long term parental leave, and my perspective differs. Sabbaticals are for changing your perspective and developing in different ways from full time work. I feel like I properly have time for my kids because they're the whole focus, so it doesn't feel like a list of chores at all, or something that is preventing from living life. Instead, it feels like the most fulfilling experience of my life so far.
Hi rnosov,
Harper’s only a feature in Caroot app, making it easier for you to quickly find answers to questions. Caroot’s main thing lies in Pair, a feature for you to simply request a task you need to do but find no time to do it, ranging from Marketing to Customer support to Administrative tasks,... Once your request is made, Caroot takes it and delivers the results to you. In the future, we wish to streamline your work more with workflow, which automates your work process, and all you need to care about is the output only, leaving you more time to focus on more important things
This actually makes me feel better (overall) about Lastpass! as a company. That they can go into some detail shows confidence and an openness that I didn't previously experience. That said, their admission that they have lots of old credentials lying around is not good. Most of the things they changed have been pretty standard AWS recommendations for years now.

Side note, as a DevOps engineer this article does give me some additional pause in my everyday work. I try very hard to keep "work" relegated to my work computer and "home" stuff relegated to my home computer(s). However, sometimes the two do meet; generally when testing something. The upside is that I'm going to (try to) be a bit more careful in the future. I'm also going to install some additional AWS checks/balances on my accounts[0], just to make sure.

Indie games HAVE made it on those platforms though?

If they were actively sabotaging games, then sure, that's true. But most platforms have a vested interest in good recommendation systems. Think steam for you.

It's more the cruel and brutal reality of creative fields, only a very small number ever make it.
It sounds like you may have missed the stampede of “AI” companies coming out of the woodwork the last few months.

For every legitimate AI project, there have been a thousand “entrepreneurs” who spend 4 hours putting a webflow site on top of GPT APIs and claim they’ve built an “AI product”. There’s no limit on the amount of BS benefits they claim. They seem like the same people who just finished running the crypto scams.

It seems quite obvious to me that this cohort is the target of this statement.
This gives me a brilliant idea: maybe we could make an AI to make new movies based on old ones, and train it on the first 2 Alien movies, so we can finally get a decent sequel to that franchise. Humans post-~1990 have proven that they're completely incapable of the task.

Then do the same with Episodes 4-6 of Star Wars.
You don’t think there is anything broken when 3/5 parts of the project budget should be marketing and only 1/5 in creating the product?

I’ve worked in advertising and I think that sounds broken.
You crushed it Jez! I wish we could work on more projects together.
Yep, and even with today's increased awareness, most people are fine with that tradeoff
Stick to tragedy
Hi marakaci. Yes in the future our Harper would be customized for that, but it's still a feature inside Caroot to help for quick questions. You can experience our Pair, the main thing Caroot covers. You only need to request a task you have to do but find no time to do it, ranging from Marketing to Customer support to Administrative tasks,... Once your request is made, Caroot takes it and delivers the results to you.
We actually should be building large towns in rural areas and linking them to real cities by high speed rail. That is what would be required to eliviate the housing crisis in urban areas. But that would require governments of various levels from federal to counties to work together, and for people to take a view more than 1 election cycle ahead etc.

If we did that, on a HUGE scale, we might use 0.1% of the farm land in question...
Fair enough, but then Scott Adams should have also been given the benefit of the doubt since he is a comic by trade.

Hence I don't agree with the firing, especially since it was the Dilbert Principle that helped me finally understand everything that I needed to know about how corporate America really works.
Almost 20 years ago, I worked with this (not particularly competent) sysadmin. Policy said the root password had to be rotated once a month. So, in July 2003, they set the root password to blah0307 (where blah was some random word, which I forget now but knew at the time.) I wasn’t actually supposed to know the root password, but one of my colleagues let me in on the secret, including the repetitive pattern. I think the security auditor ticked the box “root password changed every 30 days”, but never asked what the password actually was.

I know some places have rules like “must have at least N characters different from previous passwords”. However, depending on the exact rule, people can come up with easy-to-remember workarounds: e.g. the “blah” bit is ”foo” in even months and “bar” in odd ones.

Qutebrowser has a builtin adblocker and while the ecosystem is much, much smaller than Chrome’s or even FF’s or Safari’s, I haven’t found it lacking to the point of being unusable. Just frustrating a little bit at first, but userscripts from the qutebrowser repo cover pretty much everything for me.
>> Forces due to a dipole effect (like magnetism) fall off like 1/r^3, while the strong nuclear force is exp(-x)

I thought I read the strong force also dropped like 1/r^3, but also that it was very hard to characterize it at all.
As I recall the concern was related to limiting the number of automobile trips residents could take outside of their designated zones. The article did not attempt to address these concerns. Instead they heaped derision on "conspiracy theorists".

I did a quick google search for supporting articles. Unsurprisingly, I was bombarded with "debunk" articles similar in tone. The top result was the WEF. Here's a citation from an aligned write-up:

>They’re right that the traffic cameras will restrict their freedom to drive around town.

https://slate.com/business/2023/02/15-minute-city-oxford-con....

If people wish to live in dense urban communities, they can do so voluntarily. There's nothing wrong with individuals making these value judgments and finding the communities on a voluntary basis. The concerns are related to the use of coercion. The article talks past these concerns.

Finally, the narrative of "climate lockdowns" has been advanced by the same voices. As have personal carbon credits connected to a social credit score and a central bank digital currency. Perhaps partisans paint these concerns as unhinged extremism because they have no way to legitimately address these concerns.

Say what you will of the so called "extremist conspiracy theorists" here, but I wouldn't paint them as the authoritarians in this context. The dangers of these authoritarian policies should be plain to see. Attempting to talk past the concerns and malign them as nuttery feels dishonest.

>Does more media censorship imply more regime stability? We argue that censorship may cause mass disapproval for censoring regimes. In particular, we expect that censorship backfires when citizens can falsify media content through alternative sources of information. We empirically test our theoretical argument in an autocratic regime—the German Democratic Republic (GDR).

> Dart is a language on top of JavaScript and other languages with the mission to be the main language for the Flutter project, addressing the creation of cross-platform apps.

The JavaScript part is a factual error. Dart can compile to js. Dart can also soon compile to wasm, but most of dart code runs on the dart VM and has nothing to do with JS.
I've worked in projects where no one seemed to know SQL, where massive speed improvements were made by fixing very low hanging fruits like removing select * queries, adding naive indexes, removing N+1 queries etc.

Likewise, I've worked in code bases where performance had been dreadful, yet there were no obvious bottlenecks. Little by little, replacing iterators with loops, objects/closures with enum-backed structs/tables, early exits and so on accumulating to the point where speed ups ranged from 2X to 50X without changing algorithms (outside of fixing basic mistakes like not pre allocating vectors).

Always fun to see these videos. I highly recommend his `Performance Aware Programming` course linked in the description. It's concise and to the point, which is a nice break from his more casual videos/streams which tend to be long-winded/ranty.
Super interesting read!

I’ve been playing with Firecracker on a Raspberry Pi 4, but never could get Docker inside a Firecracker uVM to work. Should this be supported at all?
It was a great experience! Thanks for your code reviews and mentorship :)

Not sure I'll have much time to work on OSS in the foreseeable future, but it would certainly be nice to work together again.
That is not my experience at all. People are reluctant to rewrite it all due to sheer amount of work and people who take over others software keep maintaining it. The rewrites I have seen happened after years of talking about rewrites. Or after the original code was utterly unmaintenable.

> Now the fact that it's plain JavaScript and messy, console.logs all over the place, I would argue, actually helps that new team. Because it makes it easy for them to trash my code.

That being said, your code is going to be rewritten, but you are not making it easier. No one needs you to write crap to be able to trash your code and people do not need to trash your code to rewrite it.

But messy code is much harder to rewrite while clean one is much easier to rewrite. Especially if your goal is different technology, having original clean means that you spend a lot less time puzzling over what it done.

I do think there is a tinge of elitism for sure, but what I mean more practically speaking is that a lot of research is getting churned out that is not incentivized by actually wanting to do good research. I fundamentally believe you always get what you incentivize, and the incentivizes for research lean too far towards building careers and resumes outside of research, to deleterious effects.

The elitism you are picking up is my sense that academia is losing its value by becoming a bureaucracy machine with low standards, rather than a way to produce novel insights. It doesn’t make sense to build a road to nowhere just because it’s funded, looks good on a resume, and makes it look like you know how to build roads.

Can a meta-analysis be valuable? Sure. Should 1 million people be submitting meta-analyses to journals? No, because almost none of them will be read, and they are unlikely to be of high quality.

My proposal is simply to make a scientist track that is not indexed on novelty but instead on conducting good research, a focus on the scientific method and applying it to a field, etc. This should satisfy the desire to produce PhDs for basic governmental and educational jobs that for whatever reason (even if artificial scarcity) need some kind of barrier to advancement or knowledge of how to conduct research. Most people going from academia to elsewhere will not be working on the exact niches they studied anyway. And it would at least keep the treadmill of people chasing the “highest degree” or random publications for their resumes at bay by removing the requirement for novelty.
Actually also gonna try speed dating. I got the idea from watching an old Borat skit so we'll see how that goes!
I dont give a flying pig about it.

I didnt get taught law, its not something that is a compulsory subject to teach and the adult population certainly doesnt get taught about the upgrades or changes to law, so I cant have a democratic debate over the laws that exist.

Ergo we are living in a legal dictatorship that put Mussolini to shame, but as most people dont know who he is, thats a point thats wasted on people.

Why is the state hell bent on removing everyone's privacy as well?

These anti-mask laws are designed to harm the public, especially when considering the riot police will be balaclava'ed up and in full riot gear.

If the scientific community especially at Uni, werent such pussy's there would be psychological paper's that exist demonstrating the provocative nature of the riot gear uniform, using military techniques, because the police and military share many training elements.

Representative democracy is a trick to cede autonomy over one's actions, so if you needed a way to control a population en-masse, this would be a disarmingly charming way to achieve this objective, the sort of thing a self attracted sociopath would come up with, and something that continues to attract sociopaths with narcissistic attributes around the world to this day!
> They can't even be bothered to make an actual false accusation they can later be held accountable for, it's just "waaah, there's a man here who's not behaving the way -I- want them to. Minions, attack!"

As someone who works and teaches at an art university in Europe which is certainly one of the more liberal places you could study in: Over the past 8 years I have witnessed one comparable case and that person was basically ignored by everybody a month later because there were obviously psychological no problems involved. That case was 6 years ago. I haven't even heard of a similar case in our univesity during those 8 years.

Do you have observed anything like this in increasing numbers yourself or do you have any reliable data on it? I don't tend to count reading someone's story online as reliable data in a political surrounding where some actors describe themselves unironically using the term "culture warriors".

I can certainly stand for the observation that the supposedly snow-flakey, supposedly woke-liberal art students I had the pleasure to work with are in reality for the most part quite pragmatic, realist and self-aware people who can take things with a grain of salt and also argue about topics nuanced even if the opinion of the other side differs.

Virtual problems are virtual.

But maybe this is wildly different on other universities (in the US)? At least from the US, Canadian, UK exchange students I have known this did not seem to be the case.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the answers that amount to a cloud-hosted thin client. I use these at work, they're absolute technological marvels, but they suck.

The real answer is a zero trust network that implements:

- multi factor auth

- deployment approval gates

- end to end service encryption

- ALE for secrets and keys

- password managers

- WireGuard tunneling or equivalent

- read only production environments by default; major levers to pull in order to write

- fully partitioned environments, all of which partitioned away from the corporate network of laptops, printers, and security cameras
> I'm not sure if the Latin-based words actually came via French or via English

Or via anything else, really.
E.g. the word for car "kocsi" seems oddly similar to Spanish "coche" (I think French would be voiture) and "tombola" to mean "bingo" seems Italian (french/english should be raffle, I think).

Ask HN: Looking for platforms to find/hire people for programming support
After a long time just silently reading, I decided to become a little more active and ask this here:

Where could I find/hire people for the following kinds of projects

- a libreoffice xslt export style sheet (for my mother)
- a CSS parser with bison and flex compiled with an AST written in zig :-)
- a single-person flat-file matrix server :-))

These are examples of projects I want to do, either for myself or someone else. It's not paid work for me and I just want those projects to be done and be open source.

After almost two decades of trying out things for myself and teaching myself programming that way, I grew tired of that and just want to get on with the projects I have in mind without wasting hours away on tasks that someone else could have solved for me way faster.
(especially with the libreoffice xslt project, because the xslt export filter stuff just isn't documented anywhere)

It's not really a matter of how much it would cost me, since I just want to get those projects done and go on from there. That (hopefully) doesn't take that much people-hours that I'd come out broke from there. :-)

I've heard about upwork and fiverr and the like. But I don't know which of those platforms would give me the least amount of trouble with finding people for that sort of tasks. Or if I should go about this completely different, I don't know. Need some input and guidance.

Or do I have to found a non-profit VC and ask on HN for hire? :-)
I'm currently taking a sabbatical for a year. My son is still young enough that he finishes school in the early afternoon and we get to spend most of the day together. It is bliss. The projects that I'm working on still get time in the morning, and in the evening.

Yep. Shouldn't be any more difficult or less secure than running an app on your phone. I'm working on this with my main side project. Curious to see if there's actually a market for it, providing software to make it seamless and selling tunneling bandwidth.
