Have you noticed that their old games are barely discounted from the price they were originally at when they released? Super Mario Galaxy is still $60, for example. I wonder if Pandora's box has been opened and everyone wants in on those insane P2W margins, or if the old way of doing things just isn't profitable anymore. And if the second option, why? Why don't they just charge $65?
Just pushed a fix for this (refresh to get the update), let me know if it happens again!
Something about how this article was animated out hurt my brain to look at. It had a lot on page telling me about how much there was too much information on the screen of the phone which was nested inside the page. And then every arrow press would move around the dialog boxes (some of which jiggled to fight for my attention extra hard) and update the little avatar. The content was interesting but it felt kind of ironic that a product psychology website was this mentally taxing to use.
Ostensibly, founders should have a lot of the equity because they took on a lot of the risk; often going months or years either without collecting pay or at least below market pay for their skillset. I worked with a founder who spent 7 years, spent tens of thousands (if not over $100k) of his own savings, and took on loads of debt before he finally landed a $100m Series C last year.

The execs and employees joining later are by nature taking less risk because they are being paid near market rates with equity making up the rest. The later employees get less of the pie because the early employees took all of the risk.
That's difficult to memorize, just like it would be difficult to memorize the mailing address for a random hut in Africa. The world is a big place, so unique addresses are necessarily long.

If I wanted a memorable local address like 10.10.53.24, I'd pick fd53::24 or something.
I don't understand this constant desire to label people as useless/coasting.

I really abhor the mentality that every single person at a company must be busy at all given times throughout the day/week/year/tenure of employment. There’s no off-season, there’s no holiday time, there’s no sick leave - you're just supposed to always be working. On what?

This boneheaded idea is the reason why we are an overworked society heading towards dystopia.

Nothing can beat a physical switch but even if it's solid state, unless it's in the CPU itself (it isn't) there still need to be traces in/on the PCB to bring the data from the microphone to the rest of the system, so just probe those traces when the lid is open vs closed. Or learn how to decap chips. There are some really awesome videos out there about that on YouTube!

More importantly though, Apple learned their lesson with the iSight which had a software-based activation LED. They assumed a random script kiddie wouldn't have the smarts to be able to hack the kext kernel module to turn the camera on without also turning the LED on. Unfortunately they learned about the Internet shortly thereafter where random script kiddies were able to get instructions on how to modify that kext, leading to some embarrassing moments, for some (possibly naked) high school teens, and for Apple.

Thats why the linked article is very careful to specifically mention that even having root and being able to manipulate kexts is not enough to silently use the microphone while closed.

$4500/mo for everything after the roof over your head is not enough.

Living alone? Probably, assuming you have no major debt and are in great health/have no emergencies.

2 of you? Maybe. Definitely not putting anything away for later that’s for sure. Better not have any emergencies.

Kids? No way.

$4500/mo after paying for your home basically leaves little room for error or, frankly, joy in your life. Can't take trips, can't have pets, can't donate to causes, can't go out to eat much or anywhere nice, etc. We aren't supposed to just work/eat/sleep, we need something to look forward to, we need to be able to weather financial emergencies, and we need to be able to save for later.

The french pension reform attempts have been going on for decades. I remember in the mid-90s a huge, weeks- (months-?) long public transit strike which, funnily enough, kick-started Parisian's interest in roller-blading (and led to the awesome weekly Friday-night roller-blading tour [1]. If it's your thing, I highly recommend it! But be prepared to have to go over some cobblestone sections)

France's system has the working population pay for the pension on the retirees, as a social security tax. With the retirement age around 62-65, with the lifespan increasing, and with the Baby Boomers retiring, it isn't a sustainable system.

Every president, be they socialist or liberal, have attempted to tackle the issue, only to get country-paralyzing backlash. People will nitpick the details of whatever current plan proposes, but the fundamental problem remains.

> Rust is the inverse of Perl: It makes the easy stuff hard.

It's a bargain. Rust is pretty great, but it doesn't make some things easy because it would make everything else hard.

This comment is amusing, mostly because Perl is so full of tradeoffs. Do you want to write something to do some string parsing quickly? Great language, maybe. Do you want to understand what you've written later? Maybe not so great.

> Writing basic data structures isn't a niche, esoteric edge case.

Not if you're using C, because the batteries are definitely not included. Want a resizable array, or hashmap? The answer is DIY. Not in the std library. Whereas all are provided by default in Rust. Picking a basic data structure off the shelf is a pretty nice feature for most applications.

That said -- should you really need a custom implementation of a linked list, and you need to write and rewrite such an implementation all the time -- I'd understand if Rust wasn't your first choice.

> Then, there's the 'community.'

And I'm not sure anyone loves this attitude either. Keep it technical.
There's no built-in support for that, but you can still do it. Nowadays flash memory is used rather than battery stuff, but the idea remains the same.

Well I feel the clearest thing we can say about 18th century France is that they completely derailed the pattern that had lasted for millenia: yes it is possible to try to behead your way into taking over the country and place no king for a while. This didnt work for long, but it started a chain reaction within and outside of France that showed at least an alternative to the anglo compromise (dont behead the king but clip its wings) and at most blew the mind of all who thought that having a divine omnipotent ruler was a fatality.

Keep our borders and centralized power, is all you can remember of the 18th century? I know France is smaller today, but at the time, it was probably on every mouths of Europe.

Granted it was towards the end, but when we think of the 18th century in France, we tend to explain every event and every situation as to leading to the big finale, the final frontier, the first and last regicide. It's the only century that truly matters to us, because that's when we finally woke up.
Yeah, on re-reading I don’t know where I got the idea the headset was doing on-board processing. I recalled that rendering was done using positional data and they had to add a compositor post processing step afterwards using newer position data, but I hallucinated that the need for low latency was so extreme that it had to be done on the headset.
Fragility is the price you pay, and that leads to very demoralizing breakage and repair. I stopped all development since my 400GB 540s main desktop SSD corrupted after only 5 years of 24/7 operation.

Meanwhile my 40GB X25-M runs flawlessly after 10+ years of 24/7 operation.

These newer drives probably have very advanced error correction systems that will hide defects for long enough that you get comfortable. Redundancy saves you from catastrophe, but not from the depression that follows the realization that everything is crap.

A house/property isn't as illiquid as you think. You can take out loans against it and invest those, often at below or near inflation rates and very often below average market returns. The equity in a home is collateral for more property, investments, etc. I can't sell it on the stock market in an instant, but I can use the equity in my properties for a ton of things.
A dbms is really it's own operating system, usually this is hosted on another operating system, one that understands the hardware.

It only requires them to register if they have taken Federal funding to promote certain stories, if you read the actual bill. Domestic propaganda is now legal and an unknown but large number of journalists are disseminating Federal government messaging, some of which apparently Florida has found to be against the interests of their state. This will force these propagandists to disclose if they're taking Federal money to promote Federal messaging to the public, within the state of Florida.

Capital hoarding only refers to wealth being held back from the market. Investments wouldn't count because you are lending your money to others and that generates economic growth. I think you are conflating terms with some other inequality concepts.

Isn't there already a project for that?

Though I think at that point you might as well formally verify zig as a means to get memory safety, resource provenance, and data race safety.

The idea that memory safety must be baked into the type system is belief by the existence of provenance tracking macro/crate in rust since that exists specifically to track memory in unsafe; rust is basically 'discovering' a need to inventing what zig will need to invent for memory safety.

You may enjoy "The Way of the Househusband" on Netflix. It's a comedic slice of life show about a former Yakuza member who takes the intensity of his former life into domestic life and scares and confuses people he runs into because they assume he's still in the Yakuza. There's an anime and live action versions, although I prefer the anime myself.

I'm not really a Househusband, I still have a fulltime job, but I do most of the cooking and cleaning and errands, so I related to it a lot.

As much as I'd love more nuclear power on the grid, this project cost over double its initial bid and is actually raising rates for GA utility customers...

It's almost irrelevant whether or not he was doing anything - even if he for some reason 100% deserved to be fired, the way Elon responded was wildly unprofessional.

Because of this kind of practice, I act as a content curator for my kids. I do my best not to shelter (challenging, but doable), but to educate and train them to spot these kind of subtle (and not-so-subtle) schemes. Are you playing the game, or is the game playing you?
