Indiana Jones, as a franchise, mostly exists to present-day audiences as a series of Harrison Ford movies. Which, to sidecar a bit, seems like a shame when the point and click titles made by the Monkey Island folks were absolutely fantastic. I'd say Fate of Atlantis is a way better 4th installment than Crystal Skull.

But at any rate, following up a movie generally viewed as mediocre with what's shaping up to be one of the most expensive box office failures of all time after a delay of many years seems like it could only damage any lingering value in this IP. If it's not outright "murdering" the franchise, I'd say Disney has left Indiana Jones in a much worse spot than it was 20 years ago, and not just because the original movies are 20 years older.

Revisited Fate of Atlantis recently and was just reminded of the awesome rollercoaster in Disneyland, and it is kind of mystifying how this entire franchise was apparently allowed to slip away from relevance. Not just in movies - The Uncharted games are fantastic, the new Tomb Raiders sold many copies, people want swashbuckling adventures and the market's been saturated with milsims and scifi for years. The last 20 years of the franchise just look like one big missed opportunity parade.
What game was it? Why couldn't you play it? Those usually play fine.
> Can you imagine needing a credentialed teacher to get you out of a bind?

Incredible hubris to say such a thing, after we all went through a pandemic, during which teachers were expected to risk their lives and actually sacrificed their lives in service of keeping their communities running. That's all I have to say to you.
Those discords are full of "weirdos" who are all exactly the same. I'm talking about the self hosted blogs about how the moon landing is fake that also explained how to emulate NES games, BBS' etc.

As a customer, I have nothing against chat bots, if they solve my problems.

Last December I had to engage into long chat sessions with airline rep to enquiry about my flight change. I kid you not, they changed my first leg from morning to evening flight, and I only found out when printed boarding pass an evening before. Then I had to change my flight back due to work requirements.

It was not cheap flight: four legs with two connections from Europe to SE Asia business class, so I believe I received a good service. It took about three hours total. My website auth expired, I had to re-login several times. Fortunately, the dialogue kept going during re-logins. I had to wait a lot while call center employee checked everything, and once I found a mistake right before paying a new fare. I got transcripts to email. I would rate a tech behind this conversation as above avarage, but still the overall experience was painful.

If some LLM chat agend could do the same, but quickier and with less errors - I would just be happy about it. I don't see it as an impossible feat, most of the responses are already scripted anyway.
Can we reasonably assume that in the idea of "looking at the ultra rich to help solving poverty", there is fundamentally an idea that... well... it should be done in a way that will help poverty?

Or was it that unclear that I was talking about solving poverty, with the idea that all the money that goes for ultra rich could actually be distributed better?

Why should your preference impact my right to my body and what I put into it? That is downright psychotic. You mean to tell me that if someone simply takes PCP near you and does not in any way harm you, you would like for their fundamental human privileges violently stripped from them? Now, if someone takes PCP and is then a public nuisance, that should be dealt with. But it should be dealt with because they are being a public nuisance, not because you disagree with what they have put into their body.

You could be wrong... I worked at a place where we had like 20-30 different ERPs and they got SAP as a way to centralize the entire thing on one platform. However, during the migration they managed to recreate interfaces that resembled the old workflows people were used to, effectively having 20-30 customized SAP UIs with a common backend.

It became such a clusterfuck the vendor (SAP) who we paid MASSIVE amounts of money to, wouldn't support their own software.

Providing free labor for any specific company is a bad idea unless you earn something of equivalent value to the money you'd have otherwise made in return; I think people have an inflated sense of the derived value they get from moderation or using any given platform. Open source has the potential to be that as well, only usually offering a tenuous value proposition for the people working on it, but a very obvious value proposition for the companies using it.
This is the most Hacker News comment I've read today.
Getting rid of airBnB is a cheap way to increase housing by 1%. And that 1% is an average. Probably more than that in popular cities that need housing and significantly less in rural areas that have plenty of housing.
What with Google and now GPT, it's critical that your framework is well talked about on the internet. Otherwise searching "show me some code to do XYZ using the frankenframework" will come up empty and then it's game over for your framework.

That makes building your own framework even less of a good idea than it used to be.

>Musk ships & changes things on the fly

I don't think it's biased to be a lot less impressed by "things" like dragging your engineers in over the weekend over the threat of termination if they can't make your own tweets more popular.

>His deputies told the rest of the engineering team this weekend that if the engagement issue wasn’t “fixed,” they would all lose their jobs as well.

>Late Sunday night, Musk addressed his team in-person. Roughly 80 people were pulled in to work on the project, which had quickly become priority number one at the company. Employees worked through the night investigating various hypotheses about why Musk’s tweets weren’t reaching as many people as he thought they should and testing out possible solutions.

That's not impressive, it's reprehensibly poor management of people both as human beings and as company resources. There's no way I can figure how to view this story as a laudable effort to ship fast and iterate the platform quickly.

Reads to me like a Blind post by student.
And of course as is typical of late stage western cultural elitism there are 4000 words on sex and two for the mines. You'd think the place where slave lifespan was measured in years rather than decades would make for a more interesting story.

A man drowning in the dark, trapped by a rock fall, seeing the crushed head of his foreman on the left and his best friend running on the right.

But that would mean forcing readers to imagine a life where economics and not perversion were the driving force of history and we can't have that.

Indeed. Thank you.
To be clear, this kind of structure is only emitted for numeric enums. String enums with explicitly declared static values are roughly equivalent to the equivalent Record<string, string> (runtime) and a corresponding type T[keyof T] (type check time).

IME, most of the complaints about enums apply only to numeric ones.

The major exception to that AFAIK is the fact that enum members of any type are treated as nominally typed (as in A.Foo is not assignable to B.Foo even if they resolve to the same static value). I am among the minority who consider this a good thing, but I recognize that it violates expectations and so I understand why my position isn’t widely shared.
Do you think that's down to availability, or down to a lack of support and education?

That’s a common misunderstanding. Karma is not a “restoring force”. Karma is habit. Act with kindness and your life will become one of kindness. Act with rage and your life will become one of rage.

Karma is not there to get you. Is the law of cause and effect. If you seed rage, you will get rage. No other result can become from rage than rage.
I feel like contextually it's pretty obvious that it's simply comparing to what has been discovered thus far.

There is a similar system in Japan known as the ronbun hakase (which roughly translates to "thesis doctorate", more information can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronbun_hakase [in English] and https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8D%9A%E5%A3%AB [in Japanese]). Speaking from a STEM perspective, traditionally many industrial STEM researchers in Japan were hired immediately after completing their bachelor's or master's degrees and had lifetime employment at their companies. Over their careers they would build a portfolio of peer-reviewed conference and journal papers. If the contributions made in the portfolio are equivalent to that of a PhD, then the researcher may submit the portfolio to a university, have it evaluated by a committee, and (if it passes) be conferred a PhD. (Some universities may have extra steps such as writing a formal dissertation and giving a thesis defense.) I've been told by Japanese university professors that the bar is generally much higher for a ronbun hakase. I work for a Japanese company and I know a few researchers who earned their PhDs this way. While it's less common these days (I'm seeing more people being hired from standard PhD programs [known as katei hakase], and I'm also seeing companies sponsor students who go to school as part-time PhD students), and while there has been discussion for the past two decades about phasing out the ronbun hakase method, it is still around at many universities.

I heard from my former PhD advisor (at an American university) that Germany also had a PhD by publication route, but I don't know the details.
Levels allows HR departments to post their actual salary bands, which they're normally more than happy to do. So you're not just relying on user reported data. They're also incentivized to do it because they want compensation benchmarking information (big companies want to know how much their competitors are paying so they can calibrate their own bands to market rate).

https://www.levels.fyi/offerings/

They also have users upload W2s, offer letters, and supporting documents in addition to proof of identity.

https://www.levels.fyi/verified/

They have their own job advertisement business and they partner with third party recruiting companies to get anonymous data about offers candidates receive.

They also just take having accurate compensation information seriously so they do things like outlier and forgery detection as well as seeming to have a much better algorithm for processing the information they receive.
Not sure it's always the key trait. In software frameworks are so often accompanied by a rich library of packages or code that folks may consider another important trait is their baseline of functionality.

Some frameworks are "batteries included" while others are a "bag of reusable components".
You don’t need these buggy AMD-specific technologies to leverage the AMD’s GPGPU hardware. Compute shaders are used by videogames for a decade now. For example, GTA5 from 2013 already used compute shaders to render stuff. At least in my experience, the tech is very reliable regardless of GPU vendor.

I haven’t tested that, but I would expect on AMD hardware Vulkan compute to be comparable by now. After all, people bought couple millions of steam decks which uses Vulkan for the native GPU API, and emulates D3D on top of that.
It's just a prediction.
> People talk shit about it all day, every day.

In my two-decade long career, I don't think I ever heard about any enterprise software for which that statement is false.
That doesn't address the point. I also do not agree with that narrative.
My metaphor for tech dept is the following:

Every time some feature is added, it's like putting some weights into the backpack of >>every<< developer that will interact with that part of the system in future. Some actions add more, others less, but you have to be careful. Too much weights will slow down the team/company to a point where no meaningful work can be done anymore. To reach a goal you have to add tech debt, but some feature add way more than others. Ideally tech debt is accumulated in isolated areas that do not interfere with other parts of the system.
> Maybe it was very slow before

That is at least partly the case. I maintain msgspec[1], another Python JSON validation library. Pydantic V1 was ~100x slower at encoding/decoding/validating JSON than msgspec, which was more a testament to Pydantic's performance issues than msgspec's speed. Pydantic V2 is definitely faster than V1, but it's still ~10x slower than msgspec, and up to 2x slower than other pure-python implementations like mashumaro.

Stack choice is extremely important. Your best possible performance/binary size/resource usage is a function of your stack. You make that choice in minutes when starting a new project, but then it haunts you for years. If you built your desktop app with Electron for example, you can't just ditch it at once down the road — switching to something better would be a serious, laborious, long undertaking. It might be easier to just chuck the thing altogether and start from scratch.

> Is it the same law firm that went with the 'offering to buy twitter and signing a purchase agreement was just a prank bro' defence?

Yes. He was represented by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP for the Twitter lawsuit[0]. The threat was written by a Quinn Emanuel partner.

> If you find yourself standing up in court making the prank bro argument, then I hope the amount of money you got was a fair price for your dignity.

I'm not sure whether he has equity, but the average profits per equity partner at Quinn Emanuel are $5.22 million[1].

I'm not sure I'd describe the golang community's attitude as a complete write-off of frameworks. I don't think I personally know a Go developer who doesn't use some sort of web framework (I personally use Echo, for example).

Rather I think it'd be better phrased as "frameworks should use simple abstractions and methods as often as possible", which the language naturally pushes people towards imo. I believe this causes most Go frameworks to be referred to as "microframeworks".

Honestly I don't fuck with social media that much besides my private Instagram, but there's more to it than just viral marketing. It's a pretty smooth app that appeals to people like my 18-25-ish age that feels like Twitter has gotten super weird and toxic. The honeymoon effect won't last forever, but it has something that a lot of social media users are looking for.
HN is downright quiet on the topic, with only 21 posts over 20 comments since the launch (2023-07-05), 4 posts per day. Compare that to the Reddit blackout posts which seem to be closer to 8 posts per day. Only 8 posts with over 100 comments, whereas it's hard to find even a single Reddit blackout post at less than 100 comments. My friends in every other community are buzzing about Threads, but here on HN someone comes into every thread to remind me that Mastodon doesn't need growth to be a success, whether the thread was about Mastodon or not.

Just gives me more of that feeling that the community here is becoming more detached. Maybe it's just me, but I'm watching The Great Fragmentation with open eyes to see what comes next.
I'm not sure if the OP meant it, but there's a decided different in my mind between "murdering" a series and "ruining" it. A bad new entry doesn't make the old ones worse, but it may effectively foreclose any chance of making another better one later.

For people who maybe were hoping for another good Indiana Jones movie in the same vein as the first few, having these last two be received terribly means we're unlikely to see another attempt for years, if ever.

Yup. Also there's a LOT of influencers who missed the organic growth phase of Twitter and this is their chance to make up for missing out. Such people are going to be power users for sure

Two sides to this. Author uses everyday life to describe the multiple layers of abstraction in software engineering. That's precisely the advantage of software: that abstraction is easier to construct—by simply writing down rules in text files—than mechanical engineering or other fields.

That said, author is not wrong. Reminds me of talks from Bob Martin about frameworks and software architecture. Summarised and linked (shameless self-plug) here: https://www.compilatrix.com/docs/framework-there-to-screw-yo...

I don’t know with Twitter going through various meltdowns having met a step up and say hey, you can come here instead I feel like it’s pretty big news. This product also wasn’t at least on my radar at all and so I think it was sort of a big surprise for everybody. The eighth largest website on the planet size to go toe to toe with Twitter… Seems like big news?
We used it locally at megacorp in place of the standard JIRA instance. As an end user I disliked it because it was painfully slow and the interface was awful. It broke browser navigation, if there were permalinks they were nearly impossible to find so most things couldn't easily be bookmarked, filtering was tedious and unintuitive. Some coworkers tried to write CLI tools and the API turned out to be as awkward as the web UI.

Ideally we would've just thrown more money at CloudBees, but there was no political will to fight for another paid JIRA instance. I'm sure there are worse tools than snow but I'd just as soon never use it again.
Elixir, Golang, maybe even Rust (that one is a hard sell though, there could be a lot of friction at the start and part of it persists even when the project matures).

Hey there,

I made a Show HN post earlier today about a startup I invested in and am now working for. I haven’t posted too much to HN, so I only know what’s popular based on what’s on the front page, which is usually very high quality and interesting to me (tech, business, startups, generally really interesting stuff).

Given the builder-focus of HN, I thought more people might be interested. Selfishly we were hoping to generate buzz and some investor leads but also to get genuine feedback. HN is my favorite forum as the quality is so high.

Here are a few thoughts on why it’s flat, and I’m curious to hear y’all’s thoughts.

* Too market-y.

* Too long a post.

* HN is too nerdy for a sports related startup.

* I should’ve done more to “promote it”; however, I read this is frowned upon, so I didn’t really do it.

* It’s not a good idea.

* Poor posting time.

* Just not that relevant for HN.

* It was downvoted for some reason…perhaps I violated some written or unwritten rule.

Am I doing this in hopes that it will boost the original post? Yes, but also to understand the mechanics better as I’m going to post on some relevant subreddits too.
