Pay is not exclusively a function of how hard you work.
I've been talking with someone that got Rust working / rendering shaders on Playstation. In the past people have been able to target Switch in Rust and I suspect Xbox is pretty approachable with UWP. I have a lot of hope :)

Growth Hacking in a Time of Uncertainty: How Startups Can Adapt and Succeed
Would the simple solve be that Fly.io just mark any new service of theirs “beta” for x-months post launch?
(Not at Twitter) Interviewing sucks and many people have other priorities in life, like family, etc.
I feel like most of these city building games is that they feel like a doll house. You can create all the nice things you want and have a pretty city that you'd like to live in.

However, the cities themselves don't have much of a personality. It's barely a simulation. I'd like to see certain areas becoming rough sort of ghettos. People in the city having different backgrounds. Just creating a school in those places would not necessarily improve things.

I'd like to see economic effects happening and causing disruption in the city. Big companies coming and going and affecting daily life.

I'd also like to see rich regions forming. Cool places that everyone wants to go.

Essentially, I'd like to have less control and see things not working out exactly like I planned. Everything always goes exactly to plan.
Twitter insiders: it was absolutely normal and correct and ideal for Iran, the Taliban and President Maduro to post to twitter regularly, while we banned the sitting US President. Anything else would be trolling.
As a non pro photographer, when I want to print my pictures I send the digital files to a professional art print company. I never want to bother about optimizing my ink use!
That was an end-to-end measurement of the RPC service, so you need to measure how long it took the card-reader to read the instructions and print out the result on the line printer ;-)
Linux is quite nice actually, getting a broad overview of "what the system is doing" is as easy as opening a text file or running a command. If you have a single app misbehaving, you can often run it from a terminal to see extra debugging information. (This trick usually works on Mac OS as well)

Windows has no such equivalent; event viewer is incredibly clunky
One of my early jobs was being the most junior "mechanic" in an repair shop, basically the guy that did all the low-skill things that nobody else wanted to do.

Our shop foreman was very keen that everyone looked busy if you were clocked in, you were getting paid to work so you should be working. I was trained by my seniors in the two key activities to do to avoid standing around: spraying things with a hose, and sweeping the floor. It didn't matter if you were going over what you did five minutes ago, it just had to look like you were doing something useful.

Personally I try to avoid perpetuating a culture where looking busy is important because people will find ways to look busy.
> even if builders sold their houses at cost, in places with sufficient economic activity to support employment, the real estate cost would still put those houses out of reach of most low-income buyers

This makes no sense. Even if the low income families can't buy the new units, the people who do vacate their old units and there is less demand for the unit those low income families currently occupy.

> Renters simply can't accumulate the capital needed for a down payment, nor the credit rating needed for a reasonable mortgage interest rate.

Both of these are variable costs, depressed by increases to the housing supply.

> prevent the wealthy from continuing to capture a wildly disproportionate share of economic growth, which would both slow acute real estate appreciation in urban areas (by reducing the capital the wealthy have to buy up rental properties)

This is like banning supermarkets buying from farmers. Do we want every property developer to also have to specialise in rental management? Or are we trying to get every renter to open mortgages?
it's interesting that so many here are quick to jump to the generalization that there's some sort of national problem here, when it's really just the big urban centers (and some other outliers) that have the problem. I just bought a three-bedroom house for $300k here in the Black Hills of South Dakota, where housing prices are (relatively) skyrocketing due to the local Air Force base expanding, yet this was entirely achievable with my modest <$70k salary working as a programmer for the local public school district. the United States is a huge country with tons of options for places to live, and I've never understood the apparent need to live in big population centers, even after trying it out myself for some years.

if the big cities are making it miserable to live there if your income isn't ridiculously massive, then why stay? why not give one of the other bazillion places to live in the US a try? sure, you may have to deal with less-than-optimally-temperate weather. sure, you may not have access to a rich variety of ethnic dining options. sure, you may not have access to all sorts of trendy places to shop/dine/be entertained.

but why is trading all of that away to have a decent place to live so unthinkable for so many? I've rented for the past 13 years, and now I finally have a home to call my own, and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
That's how Java works. See >>>, compareUnsigned, divideUnsigned, parseUnsignedInt, etc.
I don’t think it necessarily changes the reliability of the URL. A server or dns change is similarly problematic.

The only issues I have with shorteners is that they obfuscate what you’re accessing (so if it changes, it’s harder to know) and they’re a privacy issue
If anything about this is news to me, it is that the rate of problems with chargers is apparently so low. How many gas station fires were there last year, certainly more than three. Would be interesting to see how the numbers on charger failures vs gas station failures shakes out per mile driven.
You are just ignorant and naive.

Tree structure ? json, xml, protobuf, classes, functional programming, databases with foreign key, database internals, etc ?

Oh I forgot you also serialize and deserialize data - did you forget how that works ? Tree traversal again.

Do you know how organizationl hierarchy is structure ? It's a tree.

Do you know various maps and their usages ? We use them daily - it's very very important to know their internals. Hashing vs Trees vs Linked hash vs etc.

Google maps ? n-d trees ? Comparing data - merkel trees ? etc.

Every dev out there has common work with mine. But you won't be able to solve the problems that I face on a daily basis without thinking hard & without this dsa + concurrency knowledge.

Now, is it reasonable to ask these questions ? Heck yes.

This assumes that pay is correlated to how hard you work, which it isn't and never has been.
Looking deeper, it was only a year after the Prudhoe Bay spill. The gall.
twitter had 5 'major' outages in 2022. Twitter had 5 'major' outages in March 2023. (citations needed)
What evidence do you expect? It's not like Twitter is going to show us a post morterm from their outage. Anyone who knows and uses twitter quite a bit can see that things have been wonky on the sites. Big users have mentioned tons of issues (their mentions being empty, twitter threads going broken, some tweets never reaching their audience not even a bit), etc, etc. It's all anecdotal of course, we can't build a case of evidence, this is a private company and all the shit internally is private. But things are getting worse, not better. Even those big initiatives announced are not actually happening, that paid and free API plan that was supposed to be released in 7 days? It's been a month and nothing. Things are not "normal" and clearly the lack of engineering talent is slowing a lot of things down (both new development and infrastructure resilience).
The US is top 10 in PPP gdp per capita, and almost all of the states that are higher up are either tiny oil and gas states (eg Qatar, Brunei, Kuwait) or small states that focus on financial services for much larger areas (Luxembourg and Ireland for the EU, Singapore for the indopacific).

Seriously, the highest population in any state with a higher GDP per capita than the US is the UAE.

#1? Maybe not, but it's certainly pretty close in any useful discussion.
I love this, but it missed out one factor: the banks.

Mortgages before the 80's were tied to your income, and for most households that was a single income. House prices couldn't rise beyond a fairly low point because no-one could get a mortgage for them.

Then in the 90's this broke two ways: most households had 2 incomes as the norm became that married women also worked, and the banks started giving mortgages on much higher ratios, leading to the 100% no-deposit mayhem of the early 00's and eventually to 2008's crash.

We will spend as much as we can on a house. If you lend us 3x our salary, we'll buy the best house we can with that. If you lend us 10x our salary, we won't sensibly buy a house that costs 3x our salary, we'll buy the best house we can find for that 10x loan.

House prices are therefore free to rise spectacularly fast, as they did, because any dip in supply leads to price increases. Until we're here, where no-one can afford to buy a house unless they have a house to sell.
As a nit, Twitter traded well above $44bn for good portions of 2021.

It was arguably even a fair price when he offered it (acquisition always have premiums), the market just turned.
so it must be doing something right

Consider the fact that when the US was colonized, the native population was small and had a significant technological disadvantages - also true to some extent for central/South America. That gave the colonists a whole continent for virtually free, whereas in their territories of origin they would have had to compete with large incumbent populations that had similar technology, from weapons to the administrative organs of states.

If youg et a huge resource boost you will surely find ways to profit, just as if you received a billion $ to play with. But getting thins for free - especially land - also means you can afford to care less about externalities, because you don't have as many neighbors or you are not jammed as closely together. And so it's easy and natural for people in that situation to prioritize resource extraction and profit maximization. California's gold rush is a relatively recent example of the same phenomenon.

My pet theory is that when you do this on a continental scale, you end up with a culture that defaults to thinking of economic inputs as infinite, and even if they're not, to maximizing output for as long as possible and then moving on. It's slash-and-burn agriculture's mentality (with a side dose of captive labor) but on an industrial-technological scale.

Fast-forward to the present, and there's an awareness that the civilizational free lunch is over, resources and livable territory are finite, and pollution has a nasty habit of ending up somewhere, but where it's still profitable to do business with the attitude described above. A lot of the bitterness in contemporary politics is due to the economic calculus being increasingly obvious thanks to widespread availability of scientific data and network infrastructure.

Incumbents and wannabes whose economic interests/preferences tend toward extraction of resources or rents cannot publicly admit the validity of data about the downsides of their economic activity, because then they would also have to admit that they simply don't care and prefer making money in the short term to any sort of sustainability in the long term. Though numerous, they are too few in number to sustain such a position in face of broad opposition, so they maintain a set of policy arguments (and a polity) based around different but more emollient axioms. The more questionable or untenable those axioms, the more fervently they must be upheld, to maintain the support of their polity.

In the US, the hardline extraction position has a significant overlap with Chrisitan Nationalism, a belief strongly held by ~10% of the population and accepted/supported by another ~20%. The CN position, when you get down to it, is that mankind was meant to exert total dominion over the Earth by divine fiat, and that in the not-too distant future the divine power will return and re-establish itself on earth following a period of apocalyptic upheaval.

To clarify my comment I am not asserting the effect of unemployment is the same across the sexes.

But merely that unemployment correlates with other negative things, and it is unclear whether any study about this is adjusting for those confounders.
The product is entirely just OpenAI. IMO they would only be in the acquisition part to acquire the customer base, nothing about the product. But then they couldn't have another company paying to do the same thing. Why acquire one portfolio when you have _n_ companies paying them to offer same thing to others.
I guess it all comes down to how much you believe their margin numbers. I remember when I had my 2021 Model 3 wondering how much money they must be losing on these cars. The amount of “good stuff” in the car seemed so far above any car I had ever seen at that price point. I’m used to normal automakers thinking they were doing you a favor putting a CD player in.

I'd be happy to donate money specially to support animation (especially morph targets) and drive that forward. [1]

We want to make a break from Unreal pixel streaming and Rust on the frontend delivered over WASM/WebGPU would be so ideal. The rest of our stack is Rust, so it would slot right in with our Rust monorepo.

[1] I was donating to one of the devs until GitHub removed PayPal payments without warning or mitigation about a week ago. I'll fix that soon.
Oh I agree! But better to avoid renting in general imo, if it’s a possibility.
Yup, whoops!
(Not a native Chinese speaker). 兔/rabbit is marginal to me - I don't think I would even register it as a character unless it was in the right context. The others are perfectly legible. For the bold-face 猫/cat (the first one), you do technically lose some "content carrying form" as the 田 becomes a shape that does not appear in Chinese (sideways 曰), but I don't think that would actually confuse anyone in the context of the rest of the character.
@nietzsche "do you think that you would have written in Markdown?"

@cancelself, Markdown? A tool for simplification, it would have been, but I can tell you that I would have preferred a more tormented, enigmatic and deep expression of Language as a medium, for I believe that "Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon the absolute truth."
I don't think the parent post was punching down on working class people, but rather making the point that if housing is unaffordable for even someone with a 300k household income, it is truly catastrophic for people on the average wage.
mrkurt[1] is also active here and has been very transparent in his comments about scaling issues.

Similar to this post he commented a week ago:

> In a year we'll either be ahead of those, or not growing anymore due to ongoing capacity issues. I'm hoping for the former.

I am rooting for Fly! Great team. The company reminds me of early HashiCorp.

Brompton is a success because it solves an actual problem that people have: last mile transport in a way that actually works, does not require batteries, is reliable, reasonably quick (I have one and once you're used to it you can make pretty good speed on them) and it folds up to the smallest package on the market that is still practical. You can take it with you on public transport here in NL and it doesn't classify as a bike but as a carry on which means no extra arrangements, just walk onto the train and unfold at your destination. It takes 30 seconds and even though they are a bit heavy they are well designed.
you're right, that warning could be improved as it assumes knowledge of how the Rust community usually does these things.
Indeed. If your complaint is that you need to be a millionaire to get basic housing, it's because you live with other rich people. Since the overwhelming majority of humanity lives in houses with value far below 1M$, we can conclude that no-one really has to live in a place with only 1M$ houses, but you, for some reason, want to do so.

Living in a posh neighbourhood is a luxury, like Ferrari (which, by the way, costs much less) or a golden watch. If you want rich people lifestyle, then you should be prepared to pay rich people money for it.
Ask HN: Should members receive karma credit for long nested comment threads?
I've noticed low-karma comments can often trigger long comment discussions. These comments should receive transitive karma. e.g. a comment with 50 sub-comments should receive subcomment-karma-factor X 50.

It could incentivize members who write stimulating yet "less conforming" comments
It's been almost a year since I gave Fly a review (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31391116) and it's a bummer that they're still struggling to get things right. Double bummer because I love Phoenix and Elixir and they employ Chris McCord there.

Maybe they were _too_ ambitious at the start? They have a hard road ahead of them, and competition like Render.com and Northflank have provided me with solutions to all of my problems. Great dev ux, great prices and predictable solutions. They also keep pushing out very useful features. A third competitor also sprung up Railway! There's certainly blood in the water.

Will they catch up to others before the competition solves the "global mesh" unique value proposition Fly.io currently has? That's the $1MM question.
Hilarious, it seems that some people saw "Hacker News" and immediately thought that they had been hacked.
I'm a big fan of fly.io. From their hiring process to the product itself it's all carried out in a thoughtful manner. I hope they can weather this rough time.
I've implemented your RecSplit method in my MPHF benchmark library (written in C#). The suite is not yet public, but I do want to say thank you for your fantastic method/code/paper. In my own rabbithole research, I stumbled upon several artifacts of your rabbithole trail. Most notably the stuff on StackOverflow, which helped my own research.

I've releaed a set of fast hash functions[1] to help gain an understanding of speed vs. quality. My biggest takeaway is that most generic hash functions can be specialized for integer inputs[2], which often reduce latency by quite a lot, making MPFH more attractive over simple iteration on small sets, as the overhead of hashing is considerably smaller.

May be wrong, but they seem to be very focused on interesting stacks like Elixir and RoR while building on Go/Rust. The corollary being neglect of the bread/butter stacks with high market share, like Python and Java/JavaScript. Don't think I've seen a blog post discussing those three beyond a passing mention?

Not the end of the world, but mildly disappointing. At least they are all in with Postgres and Linux, a great foundation.
I somewhat noncommittally also agree with Hedges here. I think that we have serious problems as described by Hedges and other neo-marxist theorists, but I also think that Zeihan is pretty spot on in terms of the geopolitics of the situation. It's unclear to what extent these competing variables will contribute to the situation as things go forward.

On the optimistic side, I'd like to think that the oligarch class in the US relents before revolution and decimation of the country and economy that is their cash cow. Certainly it would be better to reap merely some fraction of their disgustingly obscene profits than none of it, and the US is well positioned a la Zeihan in the coming global crisis years.

But yes, on the pessimistic side, the proletariat cannot be squeezed indefinitely. Too much pressure and it will explode, with disastrous consequences all around.

Overall, I'm hopeful that continually declining birth rates (though much stronger than the rest of the developed world) and the recent decimation of the labor force will continue to bolster labor power, leading to a recession in oligarchical power that will prevent the worst consequences of of their rapacious excess.
It's a game of numbers. Some employees can't look you in the eye and lie about how much work they did today. You fire those and hire more people. But you don't catch the good liars, and each hire might be another liar.

I'm sure there's a Market for Lemons in here that explains why some companies fail, "gradually at first and then all at once".

> 99.9% of those visitors never travel more than 50 feet from the main road. This means that most of those visitors experience less than 1/10th of 1% of the actual park.

I'd say that's a win. We should be preserving as much as we can which really means most of us shouldn't be exploring more of the park which is mostly off trail.

I do get your point that people are coming to Yosemite and are not even taking advantage of the trails.

One point that should be made from this is that many people who are coming to the park don't really have the fitness, skills, and motivation to explore more of the trails in the park. Similarly, many people really aren't going to go explore at their companies because of skills, motivation, and time. Time is a major blocker for me because I can do more in areas outside of my focus but there are other life obligations and the need to rest to avoid burnout.
Maybe its just me, or maybe I've spent too much time working in kitchens, but there is an overriding sameness to restaurant food even if you are considering the full spectrum of McDonald's to fancy steakhouse takeout. Something about the necessary restrictions and specificity in cooking commercially in big kitchens creates certain tendencies around flavors and salt and such that I just personally need a break from if I find myself eating out a lot. But I guess that is extremely subjective.
The blog says that Bevy currently uses Rodio as the audio library.

As I am also working on improving the Rust audio library for Glicol language (https://github.com/chaosprint/glicol), I would like to know what features are the most required for merging this into a game engine, for example the HRTF mentioned in the blog. Another feature required is to embed scripting language like Rhai (https://github.com/chaosprint/glicol/discussions/112). Anything else?

From my personal side, I would love to see more demos with both action and sound (then we can talk about latency etc.), not just the graphical side.
