> I found this to be the least impressive of all Link's new abilities personally, and fail to see it in terms of being some unreal technical breakthrough? It's literally just a jump through the surface directly above the player's head.

Implementing Jumping through one-way platforms is easy.

Implementing Jumping through anything, no matter how deep, and detecting the first safe place for him to stand, as well as having the ability to back out at any time to return to your original position, especially in a huge open world game like this? I'd say it's pretty technically impressive. Especially how fast it loads when showing the little upwards swimming animation.

You can use this ability in the underground in some places to pop up anywhere on the overworld. From the bottom of the world to the highest mountain. It's way more impressive than just jumping through things.

> Many reviews (and myself!) find this addition to be cool but shallow? Also, while cool, its not technically mega avant garde here- "Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts" attempted similar thing back in 2008.

I never said it was some unique thing no one has ever done before. But it's definitely not shallow, you only have to look for videos showing the crazy things people are building to see how it's mechanically super deep. I never played Banjo Kazooie but Im guessing it didn't have nearly the level of physics simulation, or the number of parts that are usable, or anywhere near the size of world that Zelda has. That's why it is technically impressive. Not just the mechanic, but the context that the mechanic is in.
> also not really a residential neighborhood

The thing is, for hundreds of years, it was indeed residential. Those were houses, built to live in.
I can raise only one half of a hand as I started without punch cards, but we had cards at home because my mother "recycled" the unused one she add at the office to take notes.
There are a lot of examples in movies and the zeitgeist, even where other harder Sci fi Is obeyed, so it's hardly surprising if you'd never stopped to think about it. Welcome to the 10,000.
I'd say the EU are generally less tolerant of loophole based exploitation of the law than the US (see for example the potential Apple USB-C speed throttling in the news recently). Anyone who tried this kind of thing would get sanctioned pretty quick.
The Pursuit of Realistic Graphics Is Killing AAA Games [video]
That reminds me of what I think were Apollo Domain/OS workstations at school that also had beautiful, high-res black and white screens. These were in the basement of Evans Hall at UC Berkeley back in the early/mid 90s.

Judging by the Domain/OS release timeline on the wikipedia page, it seems reasonable that these were surplus (end of life) systems handed over for student use. It's too long ago, and I can't remember if they were managed by the CSUA computer club or something else by the CS department as part of the WEB which I think was mostly a Sun workstation farm.
IIRC the traffic is encrypted, all TCP/IP packets but going to bytedance servers. Without interacting with the app I have no idea what it could be sending but scary to speculate.
Do go on - I'd love something like this.

Just curious, what tech position pays $350K? I make much less than that right now as a software engineer, though at a non FAANG company and in an area with low cost of living. If I could find a position that pays that much I'd happily jump ship.

>> Zen 1 was terrible and is not a useful baseline.

First off, it's a perfect baseline when comparing AMD chips since that time. Zen 1 was similar to Intel performance-wise, winning some benchmarks and losing some.

Second, the Raven Ridge (Zen 1+) APUs were IMHO excellent performance for the price at the time - even against Intel. I have not felt the need to build a new system since the Mellori_ITX:

I'd echo this. I'd also add (perhaps prematurely as a gen-z) that I see a lot less playfulness when it comes to side-projects. Rather, it seems projects start with monetary or career motives. Nothing wrong with this, but I'd like to see more fun!
I completely disagree with your claims here. Communicating about your work, your discoveries, your work is one of the aspects of being an engineer. Developing and maintaining a blog takes work. Grinding out code alone is not productive, nor is it a long term successful way of achieving anything in this industry.

My take of this situation is that people are overworked, and community has become overly regulated, unrewarded, and suppressed. (Language/tone policing, spam, aggressive individuals encouraged in groups, bad group membership policies [CoCs used as bullying devices more than simple rules to follow], dev advocates stepping on everything)
Yeah, I have a bit of regret first playing the Witness on an hd520 then PS4 then rtx2060 :/.

Actually I wouldn't mind having a physical keyboard on a phone again.

On-screen keyboards are only a slight improvement. What they solved is everything else except typing speed and accuracy.
I couldn't disagree more - if the weather is important to you, visit any time but the summer. Preferably the fall or spring, but winter is okay if you're prepared for it (it just goes on way too long).

(I have little experience of Detroit proper, but I assume the weather is sufficiently similar to Lansing and A2)

I mean, it only is because most people either don't have other options or don't care.

Us HN nerds could easily build alternatives we just don't. Or the ones that we do are so niche we never find them.

Interesting how there always seems to exist this dialectic
I not arguing there are no strategic importance. If he'd managed to successfully assasinate or overthrow government in 3 days then it's would be the way how Kremlin will talk of their great victory.

The deal is: neither Putin nor population of Russia give a damn about this territory control. If Ukraine will free Donetsk and Luhansk tomorrow and Crimea in a year no one in Russia will care about it. Except of course people living on occupied territories, but FSB will shut them up.

On 30 September 2022 they announced annexiation of Kherson. Claimed it's will be part of Russia forever. Just a bit more than month later on 9th November 2022 it stopped being part of Russia and no one cared about it since. And too talkative members of occupation government just died under strage circumstances.
I played 200 hours of BOTW and 100% of my time with TOTK using a PS4 controller. Using the controller’s motion controls to aim my bow is possibly my favourite non-mouse style for aiming ever.

> CPU core count does not easily translate to performance gains.

In theory, performance scales logistically with the number of parallel processors (Amdahl's law).

In practice, the limit is (and has always been) memory and i/o. That's why Apple silicon kicks everyone's ass.

If we want faster computers, the biggest gains are not to be found in making processors do more work. It's in designing systems (not just CPUs) that don't let the CPU wait around to do work.
This right here is a good example of the fact that AI really is just a way for the worst people in society to continue to skate until they land someone where else to mess it up.

It'd be nice if the market actually worked for once and we got better services, not just more profit for suppliers for worse services.
Pre 00's hackers, or pre 80's for that matter, mostly tinkered with physical things... pulling apart a radio, remote controlled toy or reading popular mechanics. Now, you can do so much in pure software, and it's far easier and less expensive that it's the direction most will go. That doesn't mean there weren't hackers or nearly as proportionate an amount of them before the 00's.

For that matter, my great grandfather was the type that actually built cabinets, or did plumbing, electrical, etc in his home. The most I've done is run an ethernet cable or change a light fixture or switch. That's not a critique of younger generations, just pointing out that a desire to learn, understand and do things has always existed. It just presented a bit differently.
cuBLAS is not Fortran because it targets NVIDIA GPUs. Despite what the grandparent says, MKL does include some Fortran in its codebase. Most other vendor-provided BLAS and LAPACK libraries are based on the reference Fortran implementation. Even OpenBLAS, the open-source reimplementation, has large parts written in Fortran.
Maybe the juggler was juggling 5 balls, but they made a mistake with serendipitous consequences and then told everyone they juggled 5 balls, when they really don’t know how they were juggling 5 balls. In fact one of them might have been a different sized ball or maybe it was a cube.

Worse still, they won’t let you check their original balls to see if they actually are capable of being juggled.

Lol ball juggling /s
But what if I want to be able to use the same account, but I don't want other people to be able to use my account?
> Maybe there is some type of awful natural law to be found even?

Maybe. You've got two examples so far. Can you go even further back? Which cities were industrial hubs prior to Silicon Valley and Detroit, and what became of them?

Mill towns from the industrial revolution come to mind. Factories and boarding houses created such thriving industry that towns literally spawned around them, but within decades they transformed into abandoned buildings in towns devoid of any economic opportunity.
A healthy mortgage (like any healthy debt) has the expectation of timely repayments and reduces over time. What we see here is the exact opposite to the point debtors are worried about interest default.
Maybe this already exists, but I imagine if someone wrote at library for interacting with gnu or posix commands from python (or ruby, or...) that built up the commands in a structured way and parsed the replies and put them in a dict, that would be very nice to use instead of bash-scripts. Every weird thing that you wanted to do would be a lot easier to do in python than in bash, and none of that looking out for spaces in strings and so on.

If you’re making 50k, paying or not paying health insurance matters.

The US suffers from both a high tax burden and poor services. We just tend to nickel and dime our taxes more but it doesn’t really matter if you’re paying 1$ to the feds in income taxes, pay 1$ to use a state’s toll road, or 1$ to a “fee” your town tacks on the water bill.

Looking at total government spending as a percentage of GDP doesn’t show differences in services but it does show just what it all costs.
I have a GMC-320S, its ok, I had to cut away some of the plastic so it could read a uranium source I bought. The plastic housing would shield the tube from most of the radiation of the source. There are little slits that would let some in, I just widened them with a dremel.

I wouldn't recommend it again, but if you received one as a gift, with a bit of tweaking, you'll be measuring random stuff in your house.
There are a lot of Voodoo Security Practices out there. Being able to check off all the boxes necessary for regulatory and legal compliance does not mean that an organization has good security. Many of those requirements are as useless as taking off your shoes before you go through security at the airport.

The important thing to know about the consultants pitching assessment and remediation packages is that their assessments will always end up finding "problems" that just so happen to be exactly what their $$$$ remediation product is built to address. The various assessments won't even agree on what might be wrong.

My suggestion, then, is to approach your leadership with examples of how the assessments are really sales pitches in disguise, and have no meaningful relationship to good security practices. Show them where the consultants are pitching their Voodoo Security and how it deviates from and takes time and money away from implementing good security.
You can have more drivers if you want, say 10 so they're on 1/100th of the time.
> And, again, the giant bugbear that is health insurance rears its ugly head on the US side

Sure, yes, that's a bigger non-tax expense for individuals in the US. The US having by far the least efficient healthcare system in the world is a huge problem.

> See the overall ‘Taxes as a % of GDP’ comparisons.

Yes, I’ve updated my post to address your wildly inaccurate “Taxes as a % of GDP” comparison, using the most recently published OECD data which shows that you were close for the US, and way low for the UK.
This is substantially less true in practice than you'd think. I'm in automotive, so let's take ISO-26262, one of the main standards used to design your vehicle. The contents of that are encoded in the NHTSA validation tests, basic compliance procedures, and all the certification paperwork, but the standard itself is "voluntary" and hence non-free. It's a massive standard with a dozen different parts that have to be purchased separately for a couple hundred each.

Since group licensing also tends to charge by # of people with access, beancounters naturally silo access to this critical safety standard, with many of the thousands of engineers who work on any particular vehicle designing to a standard they've never read for themselves.

Standards should simply be freely available. It takes time and effort to write them, but the consequences of limited access are borne by society.
I mean, obviously more ads are annoying, but I don't see how this is functionally worse than TV ads. You can't skip those either, and unlike with YouTube there's not even an option to pay to get rid of them.
I haven't read much on physics before. My favourite thing to do on these stack overflow sites (or on specific tags) is to go to Questions -> sort by score, and just read through the top questions and answers. It's a bit hidden away because they want to steer people to the active questions, not to established ones.
I too often avoid spaces in filenames, but when writing scripts it's far better to ensure that you cope with them properly. The trick is to always quote your variables by default and then run shellcheck on your script so that it can flag up the corner cases where quoting acts to unquote the string. Of course, it'll also flag up a host of other possible issues which are well worth fixing or at least understanding why it's a possible issue.

Another common footgun is not including a double dash ('--') at the end of command options so that the following filename won't be interpreted as an option when it begins with a dash.

For future reference, any information ChatGPT has "about itself" (as you seem to have asked) would have to be hard-coded into its context. Usually, it's a safe bet that if you ask it questions like that - it's going to come up with some handwavey nonsense that sounds like the "privacy-preserving" approach. Or in short, ChatGPT doesn't have any clue about the details of the various frontends used to serve it.
* Edit: it was a different person that posted the initial absurd statement. I'm leaving my response in here but italicizing it.

To be clear, the statement you're defending is that Adobe became "irrelevant" "years ago" which you backed up by comparing Premier to DaVinci Resolve. To be clear about the conversation you've switched to so you don't have to keep addressing that ridiculous statement:

if you think that anybody with stable diffusion or even the paid options can even approach the quality or efficiency of someone using Photoshop with its current set of tools based on the same technology, but targeted for specific professional tasks you really, really, really don't know what you're talking about. If your business background puts you in a business position leading you to any business decisions that have business consequences about this business then you better get busy hiring a consultant with more up-to-date knowledge.

* Edit: > 'I'll let you finish it by yourself'

I guess I lied.
Yeah honestly they’ve exceeded what the Switch can do at this point and areas of the game drop to 20 fps. The game wouldn’t be worse at 60. 30 is widely viewed as the bare minimum.
Is there an iOS SDK to leverage their APIs?

Seems like they'd need one to build this app so it would be nice for them to release it to the broader dev community.
They shouldn't have to but they do . Like I said look at MPTCP and some of the issues that has in order to see other examples of middleboxes in action
> literally impossible to find on the App store

If you can't find it by the title, that's an App Store issue, not a product issue.
Bash is POSiX compatible.
ChatGPT is not a PWA, so it does not work very well if you do that. However I agree that if it were a PWA, it could work very well.

Which protect the blanket of freedom under which the UK sleeps.
Go read about the echo park protests from a few years ago.

Not only are a very vocal progressive lot of people in socal being soft on crime, they're protecting the unhoused rights to commit crime. Ostensibly this is human rights in action, but I believe it's helping the well off feel better about nimbyism by telling others how dare they kick homeless out of their neighborhoods (because dear God they may come here)
Just span up a clean alpine linux container and installed python3, it added 51MB according to apk.
A great programmer would understand distributed architectures. You don’t need to live right next to money making or even social opportunities.
I’m not a 100% fan of having a single app store, but if those apps are ‘fake’ in quotes they aren’t really fake, ‘just’ confusingly named, are they?

If so, on what grounds could Apple deny them from being on the App Store?

Given the enormous amount of apps using trademarked names in their name or description, I also guess trademark owners cannot request Apple to remove those apps.

What Apple IMO should improve, though, is its search functionality.

For example, when I search for “company name product name” (examples: “Microsoft Excel”, “Apple Numbers”, “Google Maps”), the top hits should be “Microsoft Excel”, “Numbers”, respectively “Google Maps - Transit & Food” (what marketeer came up with that name? To me, that signals “not the real Google Maps”)
Are you outside the US? It seems to be region locked to US right now, so all of the third party frontend apps are all you see when searching from elsewhere.
I don't know what to tell ya - firefox serves me .ogg.
The JVM bytecode is not the JVM.

There’s some late binding allowed in the JVM to deal with API changes. So the caller can call a method signature that doesn’t exist in the target (but either does in a later version or did in a previous one), and the JVM has to resolve it at first invocation, rewriting the bytecode in the process.

The compile time resolution ends up being a hint that usually works, but doesn’t always. And if memory serves a number of languages that run on top of the JVM have leveraged this fact, including the original third party implementation of generics.
Indeed - radon checks are a standard part of pre-purchase home inspections, because remediation can be quite expensive

Yep, your intuition does not fail you.

It's all marketing b*shit, before they were brainwhashing you into those 10 kinds of shampoo (despite they all being basically the same soap), now their marketing talent is focused on the new much more fuzzy and bigger area of "how to live right" sort of things.

Nobody knows what's best for you except you.
Thanks for reminding me - done.
True, State funding has gone down and that is part of the reason why tuition has increased. But when you combine federal, state, and other public funds (scholarships, GI Bill etc.) the public is still paying for a large amount. Saying funding has decreased silent be conflated with funding being negligible.

What if the “customer” just wants to pay money to get a piece of paper without any of the associated work? Should that customer/client agreement be honored?
Yeah, this "contact sales" threshold is pretty absurd. Presumably this is targeting B2C apps but who is going to bother with such a low number?

Attending a convention is a pretty unremarkable thing most of the time, but BasedCon isn't like most. Its website claims the convention "isn't about pushing any particular ideology," while at the same time listing examples of "based beliefs" that the organizers subscribe to:

Men cannot give birth

Guns don’t kill people; people kill people

A fetus is a human being

Socialism has failed everywhere it’s been tried

Discriminating against white people is racism
Hi! Author here. This is fair; I can see how you feel this way from the article. That said, "I suspect he didn't know or think much about them" isn't a value judgement on him; just as I didn't care much about his point on `for` loops, we all have things we care about more and less about than others. Same with "fruitful conversation" — I meant that for both of us! I think both of us could have had a better time.

I'll try to be more mindful in the future, but I think "the original characterization doesn't trash him" is defensible. If he sees the blog and thinks its unfair, he's perfectly able to reach out (we're not actually very close). I make it clear we value different things but I never explicitly say "this guy sucks" _because I don't believe that._ He's a fantastic dev who's built great systems, but I wish we had a better framework for chatting about Golang.

Edit: I've updated the language with a few more details to better reflect how that whole interaction went down, which was a playful chat between two seasoned devs with ~12 companies between them. I didn't want to spend too much of the article on the anecdote, so I originally cut out some surrounding context (he was excited to "get into it," it's not like I just came at him when he said "I like Go").
That's just the negative revenue side. They also spent another $16 million beyond that, primarily on salaries ($10mm).
