Hey thanks, I was thinking about that yesterday actually. I'll make that button clickable.

> It's also unclear when the tutorial ends and the normal app begins. I kept clicking the "next" icon for a while think they were just examples until I eventually realized I was supposed to be drawing already.

The app itself is a bit of an experiment in creating a story/narrative, where I'm trying to encourage people to swipe till the "plot twist". I haven't figured out the proper UX for that yet. I might split it into a "serious" editor and keep this version as a joke/toy. I have a terrible habit of punishing the users who decided to give me more attention than an average Reddit user! e.g. https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io or the All Hands Meeting Simulator on https://rafsters.itch.io/all-hands (annoying to play, so fun to watch others playing)

Quite interesting to see the feedback on HN (vs. the general public or design communities) -- everyone is much more problem-oriented, trying to analyse, give actionable feedback. And that's 100% fine! I've learned a lot, even in the past 30 m here or so.
I highly recommend tweaking things like Proton versions (try GloriousEggroll for example). I've been playing OW and OW2 on Linux for years, had very few issues since the beginning and excellent framerates.
No offense, I don't think this is an unpopular opinion. The comparison to Spotify is apt though.

It is satire, not actually written by a consultant. This is the humor page at the end of the economist. But the fact that it is accurate actually does make it funny, if a bit trite.
There have been multiple ports already, I believe.
I mean that's what Apple has done with "Game Porting Kit" - valve has pushed "windows is the platform" to such an extent that no one even tries to write portable code for games and just targets directx.

Also a great teaching language, as used at London Imperial College Electrical and Electronic Engineering dept. in the early 00s. Gave you lots of power but not too much, and enough rules to force you to learn without doing mad things. I have fond memories. And I miss the compilation speeds!
>That's like saying as the price of circular saws drop in price, hand made furniture becomes cheaper.

>You're just going to end up with a bunch of sloppy tables.

Well, yes, and that's how IKEA and mass production in general made many people that would be making furniture out of the job.

Even in tailor-made stuff good cheap tools does make work of skilled maker far quicker. And you can get more people trying to get into that if the tools are cheap.

Hardware is cheap, software is free/near free so there is far more people trying, when you no longer need to spend small car worth of money just to say play electronic music

> People still want to listen to quality music from artists who have years of practice and experience. You can't reliably get years of experience unless you're getting paid to do it.

Most musicians got that by playing in garage bands and doing concerts.

And many of them did it entirely for free, out of passion, till they were good enough, far before fancy computers were in everyone's pockets.

> The counter argument is trash music will just be the norm.

It is the norm far before Spotify happened I'm afraid
I had a "Blackbook", it was definitely a 32 bit CPU (T2500).

Software-wise 64 bit userland processes were supported since Tiger (CLI and Cocoa only, Carbon UI stayed 32 bit) before the kernel itself moved to 64 bits in Snow Leopard (although IIRC not the default except on Xserve and Mac Pro, the two that could have loads of RAM. You could tell it to boot the 64 bit kernel through nvram boot args or something though)

A few Macs had a 64 bit CPU but a 32 bit only bootloader/firmware. That made them disqualified for one of the major OS version updates when it required a full 64 bit boot chain.
I've only heard good things about it, but i see no reason to use it. making fedora do what it does is easy enough.
One thing that I'd love to see is a Proton version for M1/M2 Apple Silicon... UTM is the only thing that runs x86 VMs and for whatever reason its QEMU guest tool drivers are all completely buggy and everything is dog slow (and of course, Windows refusing to load unsigned drivers on Win7 x64 makes trying out different drivers pretty much impossible).
To specify, the pitch gets wonky on the first melodic phrase after you introduce the first 4 chords. It’s the second note of the melody E A B… A is not tempered at 440hz to the scale!
People have been socialized to believe in the American Dream(tm). A detached single family house with a white picket fence and 2.3 kids is how the world ought to work. Allowing a duplex or (gasp) a 6 unit apartment building to be permitted would irreparably damage the character of the neighborhood /s
You tell people to use the new email. I don't understand this, if you make a thing the root of your identity then you have get everyone to migrate when it changes. There is no solution to this problem that doesn't involve implementing USPS mail forwarding for email.
The same holds for marketing and advertising, which makes sense if you consider an agency to be a consultancy.

The pattern I've seen repeated everywhere: A genuinely knowledgeable expert sells their expertise via online content, books, and seminars. This attracts the clients. The expert will attend a few key client meetings. But then, unbeknownst to the client, they disappear and leave the work to juniors.

This is so ubiquitous that, earlier this year, I decided to change my career aspirations. I'd long wanted to be an agency leader, but the pattern above was repeated at every successful agency I came across, and it's not something I can stomach any longer.

So, I decided to put myself out there as the expert. I write a newsletter. I published a book. I'm pursuing speaking engagements. Just like the other consultants do.

However, I don't pass my clients onto anyone else. They're hiring me. They were sold on my expertise, so my expertise is what they're going to get.

When a project grows too big for one person to handle, or when there are aspects of the work that don't justify my high hourly rate, I transparently inform my clients of my intention of bringing on freelancers for those aspects. It's all done out in the open.

And while I do charge a markup on the work my subcontractors do on my behalf, it works out to far less than my hourly rate, and my clients are fully aware of the markup being charged and what value I'm providing in return (i.e.: supervision).

All of which is to say: I think consultants can provide incredible value. (I know, I know... a consultant who believes on consulting. Shocking!) But you do have to be careful, and oddly enough, the bigger and more reputable the consulting firm, the less I would trust them. The business rewards bad players.
Looks interesting! Unfortunately looks like it's not packaged for my distro (NixOs) yet. I'll test it on a VM and if I like it I'll try to contribute a flake.nix to run it natively on NixOs.
> We're on a finite planet, we don't have a choice but to continue innovating while limiting population growth and production.

This hasn't been true though. We aren't limiting population growth, but the rate is declining as women gain reproductive freedom and people don't need to have as many kids to work the land. And we haven't done anything to limit production, as that goes against economic growth, which causes economic recessions. As for a finite planet, we do have energy from the sun, and potential materials from the rest of the solar system to make use of, starting with the Moon.
You're stating something that's obviously your opinion as if it's fact, so I'm not particularly interested in discussing with you either.

None of what you just said directly addresses what I intended to communicate. Nobody is suggesting that people don't make any decisions. Nobody is suggesting that literally everything would have happened exactly the same if different people were involved.

What I am suggesting: there are a number of characteristics which are required to become a US president right now. Those characteristics drastically skew the probability of certain decisions being made versus if a person were picked at random. Furthermore, if by statistical anomaly someone did make drastically different decisions, there are several correction mechanisms that would prevent the effects from reaching too far... see Julius Caesar for example. But he's even an exception that proves the rule, as his ascent to power was only possible once the republic was in a certain state of decay.

So yes, Augustus made many decision that changed the course of history. However so did many other people, and just like the binomial distribution of catching stoplights green or red causes trip times to be normally distributed as the number of stoplights goes to infinity, decisions which bolster or hinder macroeconomic factors cause them to be normally distributed as the number of decisions and decisionmakers goes to infinity.

> California is side stepping the whole mess with nuclear by building out solar and batteries.

I like all non-CO2 producing energy sources: nuclear, solar, wind, etc.

For any given energy source, only a subset of territories can use it: solar needs sun (hello Alaska and Wyoming), nuclear needs strong governmental, engineering and public oversight, wind, like sun, is also not universally available.

Specifically California can do all of them, which puts it in a unique position to be choosy. I believe that by going with sun+batteries, California will pave the way for less rich but sunny territories for energy independence / less CO2 pollution.

It's okay in my mind to leave betting on nuclear to the states which don't have that much sun. I am looking forward to the TerraPower plant in Wyoming being built and hopefully more to come after it.
There may be a difference here between local and network, as well as if the multi-byte utf-8 character appears in the first 1024 bytes or how much network delay there is before that character appears.
If Flatpaks (and similar) are such a great idea, why don’t software in Flakpaks install their own dependencies as Flatpaks?
I can't say how they compare, but I've had no complaints with Domain Monger in 20+ years.
It was something Marco Pierre White said on a broadcast once that has always stuck with me. He said "I've always said that perfection is lots of little things done well." Since I've started applying it in my own work, I have to say that I entirely agree with it.
There are some things that money just can't buy and apparently working drivers are one of them.
Then you bite the bullet send out an email to your customers that you're moving domains and why, rip the band-aid off and move on with your life.
Recorded music was going this way whether it was Spotify or someone else that drove the final nail into the coffin.

I remember when I was a child, on a Sunday afternoon, my dad would put on an album and listen to it. Just listen. Very, very few people do that now.

Now we have a lot of demand for “incidental music”. Something you listen to while you do something else. Driving, reading, surfing the net, coding, cleaning…

There was a fundamental shift in how people consumed music that started around the time music became portable. Spotify won the race, but if it hadn’t been Spotify, it would have been someone else.
y-axis says "performance".

Why doesn't it just say "goodness"?

"Lower is better" sounds like something you'd read in a legend for a technical diagram though.

And I have heard similar things before, but the scope of frontend frameworks is so big... at least provide a precise metric.

Then I can decide if I care about 1.7ms difference when updating a 1000-row table X (pun intended) times per second.

That being said, Vue 3 is great.
Debian Linux founder Ian Murdock would have been amazed at its legacy
GDP isn't even measured the same across different economies. GDP does not include negative externalities, and GDP increases if a country goes full-on war economy. It's scary to see that number being used for things it doesn't even measure.

Open source projects are terrible at this, in general. Any feature ever introduced, no matter how ephemeral or small an audience, can't ever be removed. Which I suspect has contributed to most GNU tools being kitchen sinks rather than doing one thing well.
I can easily imagine a situation where life support hardware needs to reboot, and taking too long to do so would be life threatening.
You should read the Wikipedia article on what censorship is:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship

"Censorship can be conducted by governments,[5] private institutions and other controlling bodies."
Simply being aware that there exist things that you don't know you don't know can save your project.

This is the general basis for why I tend to pick tools & concepts that are at least a half-decade old. The space of unknown unknowns in something that has been around this long should be vanishingly-small, especially if we are applying the tool or concept in a typical way.
Off-topic, but I stumbled over the fact that the world map is Asia-centric. I would not have expected that from the Max Planck Society, a German research institution. The way it is displayed is very unusual in Germany and Europe (actually almost everywhere, isn't it?).
I can’t imagine a world where Google would move their primary domain from .com to .io. Over the past 20 years, I’ve witnessed numerous successful restaurants move locations due to rent hikes that are still in business in their new locations indicating continued success. I’m having trouble thinking of any major companies that have changed their domains after already being established and successful. Migrating domains feels a smidge different.
> The problem of which items to digitize is a secondary one.

Not if you want to digitize the most microfilm for the least amount of money.

I approach programming the same way. If I've got 100 bugs to fix, I'll start by fixing the easy ones first, and the hard ones afterwards. This unblocks the most users in the least amount of time.
For what it's worth, you misread the output. The returned value was not a string, it was an error indicator:

'42'
> JSON.stringify(undefined)
undefined
> typeof JSON.stringify(42)
'string'
> typeof JSON.stringify(undefined)
'undefined'
Steam has provided their own container runtime for quite some time, so the packaging and dpendendies are a lot of a problem if you only distribute on steam.

I still prefer they go with the proton approach though.
If worldscript is needed you might as well only support Mac OS 8.6 and up, so you can then use Carbon 1.2 at the same time which has better file picker dialogs. The same app can also be used on power pc versions of mac os x
Last time I looked at this I couldn't really find an easy standard way to make HTTPS API calls and parse JSON, but only spent an hour or two playing with it. Can you point me at the canonical way to do this? What's the Requests of FreePascal?
You can make great sounding music using nothing but free or extremely cheap software. But yeah, still need a good mic.

Even when you go into hardware you can still get plenty for cheap.
> The current culture on SO is to flood questions with "don't do X, do Y", then upvote those answers. The result is that questions look answered but actually aren't, so the questions stay unanswered.

I think this is the #1 reason why SO isn't a great resource for me.
I really can't square this idea that "global warming will end civilization" if we don't reduce CO2 with not using nuclear power. (Even worse, shutting down existing, working plants.)
Yep, if Apple could get over their stubbornness and work with Valve on this it would be fantastic for customers of both companies.

Apple has done some work with their game porting toolkit to support certain flavors of DirectX games with a combo of Wine and Rosetta. But this isn’t officially pitched as tool for end users to run Windows games.
I recall seeing similar with major caveats, though. The general "make linux support and they will come" crowd is clearly too big to be meaningful. That said, there was a story of someone that had a bug cut from a linux user that commented how it was one of their best support cases ever. User was engaged and willing/able to work with them in ways that few support cases are.

As such, this is a mixed bag. Actual users that cut support issues from random machines will be worth trying to engage with. General cries that you should support it with no payment in play should likely be ignored, though.
Isn't that a parallel concern? The dependency chain is a separate issue from just building serde_derive itself isn't it?
No, they benefit from overriding the pinch gesture or the scroll wheel. Browser zoom shouldn't need to be a casualty for those features to work, it ought to stay available in some form.
Once I applied to a slightly sketchy indeed posting. The company was named something incredibly generic like WorldProgrammers or GlobalDevs. Within 60 seconds of posting my application, I got a phone call from a very pushy guy with a thick Indian accent, requesting that I fill out a separate application over email. When I didn't immediately respond (because I was at work), I got a series of calls from the 'manager' over and over until I blocked the number.

The listing was on the edge of too good to be true, and the immediate and desperate attempts to reel me in were a huge red flag.

I withdrew my application, did everything I could to block them, and reported the listing to indeed.

I have no idea what the scam was, but I'm absolutely convinced it was a scam. It was honestly pretty scary, and I'm sure that a slightly less vigilant person would get pulled in.
Mmm, I don't know about this. At the very least AI lowers the bar for how talented a graphic artist needs to be to produce professional work, which means it'll be easier to undercut them, which means it'll get much harder to make a living as a graphic designer. It amounts to the same thing as killing off the profession, as seen from the perspective of someone in the profession as opposed to someone without skin in the game. It's like saying push-button elevators didn't hurt the profession of elevator operator, because somebody's still got to push those buttons.
Standing fans or ceiling fans on a porch also prevent them from landing on you. Never considered the CO2 angle, I just thought it blew them off course.

> There are plenty of alternatives, but it’s less of a choice than you might think. With the exception of Bumble and Grindr, almost every popular American dating app is owned by a single company called Match Group, including Hinge, Tinder, Match.com, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, and many others.

I don't know how that situation is allowed to persist. There should be some serious antitrust action is this space. What Match Group is going is 100 times more blatant that anything Facebook's done. At a minimum they should be forbidden from acquiring any more competitors.
I didn’t dispute that it isn’t possible.

What I am disputing is how this comes off to a game developer; 5 years from now, heck, 2 years from now when their games require library surgery to keep running... that’s just an awful experience.

That is not what a developer would consider a stable ABI. They could look into Flatpak - but look at what’s trending on Hacker News today - a rant against Flatpak.

Win32 over Proton is the winner for them; all other proposed solutions are hilariously naive and optimistic to what game development requires. No game developer is ever going to individually package, and consistently repackage, their game for 20 distributions. That’s never going to happen.
I think you’re absolutely right that that physician bandwidth is the cause, I think you could characterize the transactional medical experience as a side effect of that problem.

When I say transactional, I mean that each interaction has a cause (“what brings you in today?”) and an action (“try this medication”, “see this specialist”); each visit is like a full story arc from start to finish.

Compare that to psychotherapy where each visit is more like a continuation of the previous session — a narrative. IMO, people who suffer from chronic conditions would benefit from a model that draws on the narrative aspect of therapy.
There was a interesting video that correlated the extreme north Atlantic warming with the changes in sulpher content in cargo ship fuel. Less sulpher fuels means less bits in the atmosphere to seed rain and reflective clouds.

The good news was that we could seed clouds by just spraying salt water from the ocean. The water would evaporate and the salt would just fall back into the ocean after it seeded more clouds.
> most would consider newbie gains exhausted once you can no longer linearly add weight/reps on a weekly basis

This is likely to happen after about 3 months.

I don't really agree that the kind of weights you can achieve after 3 months pose a meaningfully elevated injury risk, unless your form is terrible or you have some existing condition.
It’s the same market dynamics which lead to the deindustrialization of the United States. Some countries have high costs of living coupled with burdensome work safety and child labor regulations. Other countries are less concerned about workplace safety. And others still are happy to be tax havens in exchange for a percentage or two.

I’m not just saying this to be facetious or contrarian. My point is that markets aren’t “just so” systems. We decide the parameters under which these amoral corporations operate.
fixed order simplifies grammar/orfography. look at russian moving verbs - thats what happens w/o the order. and not all forms are even achievable! f.e. russian can not say 'i will win' w/o using hacks such as 'i will get win'.
