Honestly still missing Stadia so much.

Not a heavy gamer, but Stadia was awesome for game nights with friends and also the play while someone watches along feature was great.

I'd always wanted to play Red Dead redemption 2 (which was on Stadia) but my PC can run it, so I bought it for my birthday, 110 gb download, had to install the epic launcher, then the rockstar launcher, then it complained about not being able to verify the files, then it locked me out of my account due to some linking issue between the two, then it just kept refusing to start saying it was already running and then many, many hours later, I was able to sit down and play it for an hour and a half which is all i wanted, which wasn't really worth it in the end.

Why is the user experience and entry into gaming so rough/awful?
And it cannot be coincidental that many companies, even the US, have announced layoffs right alongside their new investments in LLMs and AI. Sometimes within days of each other! We are literally seeing people laid off in anticipation of making money from AI, rather than continuing to pay the employees.

> "Common definition"? I don't think so. If it was my post-menopausal wife would now be a man

I didn't say it was a good definition :)

In fact, the very point you're making here is also commonly brought up whenever someone uses this common definition to try to argue against trans issues, which is how I know it's commonly used.

I rather hopped that me saying "birds would be all be male" would be a hint that I didn't hold this definition in high regard.

> whether something is a fruit or vegetable?

Tom-ah-to, to-may-to, but either way I really need to figure out how to use it in a fruit salad.

Sure, almost everyone has had such an argument; but I've noticed many tend to say "it's common sense" and stop listening from then on.
The slowing down was necessary to not overload the batteries (very obviously necessary since phones were resetting otherwise), and apple offered replacement batteries almost at cost. What more do you want??
My Dating App Method May Be Unorthodox, but Good Lord Does It Work
hey hn, supabase ceo here

this one is really 3 launches for auth:

- SAML 2.0, for developers can add SSO to their own apps

- PKCE: support for Mobile and server-side auth

- Native Apple login on iOS

We’ve been dogfooding SSO already and it stable.

PKCE is going to be rolled out incrementally across the platform - we’ve tried to engineer it so that there are no breaking changes for your applications, but will exercise caution with the deployment.

A lot of companies were blocked by the lack of iOS support - we had a lot of feedback on this one and so we appreciate the patience while we developed it. Native Android support will follow soon.

Some of the Auth team will be in to answer questions on the technical side. This is the second-to-last day of Launch Week - I promise that you’ll be rid of us after a few more releases tomorrow.

I had the battery in my iPhone 6S replaced 4 times. Apple replaced it and it was no hassle. The first three replacements were free due to AppleCare and for the last one I think I paid $40 or $50. Just happened during a mall visit.

It’s not a useless straw man argument. iPhones typically have a longer life cycle than android phones. That is a fact. User replaceable batteries lower the quality and aesthetics of the phone. So there’s no benefit to having a better replaceable easily. Just take it to an Apple Store.

This question is annoying because it is simple to state, but it's a pain to implement. The naive solution is so stupid I'd physically feel bad to write it.

>The victim should go straight to the police and report a crime was committed against them. At least leave it up to actual investigators to make a decision if a crime was committed or not and not some third party with motive to sweep it under the rug.

You might as well be telling a victim to send their case to /dev/null. We have all of these awful systems as band-aids on the real problem - that of police being completely non-functional in their current state.
I work for CVS. I've made lots of referrals to super-qualified people, for them to be auto-rejected. The company is tightening their belt it seems - no layoffs as far as I've seen, but corporate travel was cancelled and some contractors' contracts weren't renewed.

It's a wonderful company and pays super well, great people, but good luck getting in.

No, 1GB was the starting point and was considered insane at the time. Then they eventually added a counter where the storage space grew all the time. They finally capped that out—maybe that's what you're thinking of?
Functional programming it's quite obvious, actually: there's data, there's transformations, there's data again. Sometimes there's side effects. Doesn't math work that way? I'm no expert on it, but the key for me was understanding that usually, in functional languages, you actually write _less_ functions, and most of the application behavior is expressed through static data.

I remember the first time I encountered a C-like for loop, and felt as a most alien thing: until this day I still feel it's an unnatural construct, a third of it abstracted from the application logic, the other two halves low-level requisites. And of course, watching that classic video of Rich Hickey destroying Java's HTTPServletRequest class just once made it clear, at least for me, that OOP's stance to redefine every data input and output into its own understanding of the universe isn't the obvious approach at all.
“Throwaway” may be hyperbole, but the average lifespan in terms of iOS versions for an iPhone is about 5-6 years. (On the low side, someone who bought an iPhone SE in September 2018 only got four years.) The issue is that the hardware often works fine for 10 years or more. Nowadays it’s usually software that makes devices obsolete, without any real necessity.

This comes up literally every google thread. At this point it feels like a meme which originated on HN at some point. People keep repeating because it sounds plausible.

The promo system has changed in the last year. So to some extent this info is outdated.

And while obviously culture and incentives play a role I think the statement that this is the major reason for Google killing products is largely false.

New grads aren't making any big decisions about products.

And Google has many steady seniors because of the high tenure rate. In fact the one of the major complaints is that it is too steady , too bureaucratic and too slow.

Let’s say the world currently uses 90% virgin Cobalt, and 10% recycled Cobalt.

Let’s assume Apple decides to only use recycled Cobalt.

Q1: Is there any change to the amount of recycled Cobalt?

Q2: Is Apple a kind, environmentally-friendly, generous, caring corporation?

Q3: If Apple decided to use batteries without Cobalt, would that decrease Cobalt mining?

Q4: Could Apple reduce the number of phones they produce (decreasing Cobalt usage), and would Apple do that for environmental reasons?

Q5: Let’s assume their new policy actually makes zero difference to the amount of Cobalt mining: would Apple still claim to be environmentally conscious in their marketing?

Many languages still don't put whitespace between some or all words (Chinese, Japanese). Many languages tend to use long compound words which are better represented as sequences of tokens rather than one token (German, Russian). Many inputs are dirty (coming from OCR, for example) so whitespace can be unreliable. And even in clean English text, inflected words may be better tokenized as sequences of tokens rather than a single token.
Everyone? Imo more than half are worried, some members are thinking about switching careers.

> I’d love to see AWS focus on their core products

Agreed. I used to be all-in on the AWS experience, but it has really fallen behind in my opinion. Azure is quickly gobbling up their product scope per my preferences. The only things that are standing strong are Route53 (because Azure doesn't offer domain registration), and S3 (because I'm too lazy to learn something else).

For example, the current UX around S3 makes me really nervous. I felt like I was authorizing the release of radiological material when setting up a new public bucket.
This is almost certainly due to the fact that a full rotation of the Earth is shorter than a day. As the Earth moves around the sun, it has to turn slightly further than a full rotation to bring the sun back to the same position in the sky. Additionally, Earth's position relative to Jupiter will have changed slightly.

>> It speaks to a surprising lack of basic policy-making competence.

I'm kind of surprised by your defensiveness about this. Pretty much all detailed policy is made by a "random subcommittee in the X department." They have to be competent or your whole organization looks stupid and may get justifiably mocked. If they're incompetent, the higher ups aren't doing a adequate job of monitoring them or are assigning them inappropriate tasks.

> compare it to high-end lines and Google is #3 in some markets and #4 in others, which is unmitigated success

Define: High end

Define: "some markets"

Also: Pixel isn't one phone. It's Pixel 7 Pro (premium) and Pixel 7 (sorta medium) and Pixel 6a (cheap)

Also: We're talking about Google, 80% of whose revenue comes from online advertisement. Spending a lot of effort on a relatively low-volume hardware product that may be some number in some markets is not nearly enough to guarantee long-term viability of the product. I'm surprised Google has stuck by Pixel (given the very spotted history of the phone) at all.

In the USSR and China, the large scale deaths were linked to failures during economic development. Despite the failures, there were improvements in quality of life. (The CIA factbook about USSR nutrition being on par or better than the West being one example.) They end up being a class ahead of the poorest of the third world. The issue was that the USSR did not catch up to the leaps the West made. China is catching up using their illiberalism to enforce protectionism and national economic development. If anything, this seems to emphasize that economic development requieres global trade, and this was an issue with the USSR and early China.

There is "learning" proper, as having assimilated the important elements of the experience (allowing to use those principles for further creation), and there is "copying".
Tax people: is this all a response to 174 and capitalizing R&D / Software expenses you think?
This is not the "AI" part though. The thing that the press is calling "AI" is the principle component analysis (PCA) which they use to sample their model without having to generate a full MHD simulation at each grid point.

PCA was invented in 1901. It hardly qualifies as AI.
> Out of curiosity, how do you think you might do in a 1-on-1 coding interview doing something incredibly basic, like:

In my 20ish-year career, I've had... oh, ballpark 30 interviews, and I am certain I convinced at least two of those that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, one on something about as hard as what you list, another on something only barely harder. One was around the middle of that span, another, four or so years ago. The number would be higher, but most of my interviews have not featured coding questions. I have an incredibly high offer rate from interviews that haven't done those (70%? Maybe higher), and near-zero from ones that did.

I can, in fact, code. I've taken complex projects from zero to production, solo, with companies that couldn't have afforded to keep me on for years if I couldn't pull my weight. I've developed a reputation at multiple places as the one to go to with tricky or low-level problems, or the one to hand odd-ball problems with tech no-one's familiar with. I collaborate well, I do the solo thing well, I'm good in a meeting with stakeholders, I can take a support call like a champ. I figure things out, I deliver, I ship. I am not bad at this whole thing. But interview coding? LOL.

> (And would those people be able to pair on a tricky bug when production is down?)

I'm cool enough under pressure that it's been remarked upon throughout my career, over and over. Interviews still get me—specifically, the performing part of coding questions, the rest is no problem.

I think it's because they're kinda hostile (yes, yes, "we're both just deciding if we're right for one another" and "you're interviewing them too", but c'mon, see exactly all the chatter about interviewers trying to find liars and expecting there to be lots of them—you're under a microscope). Production-down is collaborative. Angry-client is collaborative (from your co-workers, anyway). Not just that you're working together, but supporting one another, everyone's got everyone else's back. Most stressful work situations are fundamentally safe in a way that interviews are entirely not. There's nothing to prove, only a problem to solve.

I'm also shit at public speaking—not talking to people, not meetings, but speaking before an audience, and I mean shit—and playing music in front of strangers is basically my nightmare (and yeah, I've done it). I suspect both those are true for most people. The stress of coding in front of someone while they judge me is identical to those situations, for me.

I bet the above is a pretty common.

Then you don't understand power generation. Especially as long as fossil fuel power generation is still online, any non-fossil fuel power generation, even supposedly unstable, is worth-while because it reduces greenhouse emissions.

The turning point where this changes is quite far off for most countries. You need to replace a lot of fossil fuels with solar/wind to come to that point. And by the time that happens, other solutions will be used, some of which are ready, some of which are not: plant-based fuels, energy storage of various forms and better capacity planning.

But if you were really interested in this topic you should have heard or read that argument a thousand times by now, so I assume you just don't want to listen.

There's a race to the bottom in the video game industry to farm content to "best cost countries". Most man-hours aren't spent on engineering problems but on gameplay and asset generation.

The Chinese industry is even more brutal in terms of the race to the bottom. Purchasing power is much lower than in the west and there's barely any export opportunities, so the only way to make money is to crank out "good enough" games by having the same engine run with different assets.

wasnt Mao planning geared toward a "forever war" against the bourgeoisie, to explain putting industrial capacity toward "military" needs in uneconomic areas and/or most of other nation building projects? All obviously limited by Mao dumbness.

Deng Xiaoping regeared the nation apparatus toward a non-antagonistic way in the "hide your strenght, bide your time fashion", kicking the economic boom.
