I would suggest that AI tech will open up more arbitrage opportunities for retailers as their price strategies come under pressure from inexpensive monitoring and reporting. Already I’ve worked on prototypes where shopping lists are fed into the system and the retailer that would give you the lowest price nearby is suggested.

Imagine the optimization possibilities where you have shared borders like you’re talking about, or where digital intelligence can be injected to optimize purchase prices among consumers for larger ticket or recurring items.

A lot of room for new and better strategies here.

I get that you don't get it... that's my point.

A public-private key pair is clever cryptography, yes, but INTERNALLY within a network they're not Magic(tm) that requires a multi-billion dollar market cap company to issue with some Indian call centre verifying my identity papers.

The same cryptographic algorithm has two wildly different uses: one that is $0.0000001 in value, and one that requires a third party organisation that needs to pay their employees and can maybe justify asking for tens of dollars. (Narrator: Let's Encrypt showed that they can't justify this either.)

People conflate the two and then try to charge $50 for the $0.0000001 use-case, which is a markup of five million percent. That's what's upsetting. It's just so absurd, and people blink slowly and then start suggesting $40 options as-if that discount somehow makes it okay. Or they start talking about "all the things you get" for that $50, when it just doesn't apply.

There should be a trivial set of commands along the lines of:

New-AzKeyVaultRootCertificate -VaultName 'xyzinternal' -Name 'ContosoAPIServiceRoot'

New-AzKeyVaultSignedCertificate -VaultName 'xyzinternal' -RootCertificateName 'ContosoAPIServiceRoot' -DnsName 'apisvc1352.internal.cloud'

You can emulate the above with a 20-line script now, but it's fiddly, and doesn't cooperate with Bicep deployment templates. Similarly, there ought to be a built-in renewal mechanism (which is JUST 'cron' for the love of God!), but instead requires Azure Functions, layers of complex authorisations, and who knows what else...
I wouldn't say it was practical anyway.
I went from Python to F# but now I think I should have gone to Rust instead. My reasoning has to do with making standalone executables and being able to call C libraries. That can be done in F# but is easier in other languages.

A certificate is a key pair with both a public and private part. The private key is needed to sign data, while the public key can only validate that signature.

You can think of the private key as equivalent to a password, in the context the parent is talking about.

> the world’s largest and most efficient cruise ships emit about 250 gCO2/pax-km.[1]

> The average passenger vehicle emits about 400 grams of CO2 per mile [250 gCO2/km].[2]

So a cruise ship running almost continuously emits about the same per passenger as the average car. The average car however does not run continuously and often has more than one person in it.

So for the cruise ships to actually prevent emissions, the people that are in the cruise ships need to have otherwise been continuously driving alone in their cars at around 40 km/hour (25 mph) 24 hours a day for the 1-6 weeks they spend on the cruise. I highly doubt their daily lives pollute this much—even given their average wealth.

The drag on efficient capital allocation doesn’t get better if it only applies to large investors, if anything probably the reverse.
i don't know if understand you right, especially i don't get how hedging is manipulative, but here is my take:

this applies in particular to pseudonymous written discussions like hacker news. i don't know who you are, and i don't know your character, but if i read you hedging your statements instead of speaking with authority then that gives me the feeling that i can have a constructive conversation with you even if i disagree with what you say. it doesn't mean you have to hedge everything, but that you indicate about which things you are more sure about and about which you aren't.

whereas if you write in an authoritative tone then i can either try to find out who you are and verify that you are indeed an authority on this subject, or i can blindly believe you (which i would only do if what you say confirms what i want to believe as true for myself) or reject you as someone who is unlikely to be able to reason with and give up responding. neither of which is a good choice. at best i can give a hedged response that explains why i believe i am right to disagree and hope that you are able to explain to me why you should be right after all. this is where not being afraid to be wrong comes in for me.

and once we enter a state where we both have opinions that we are not certain about we can then continue to explore the subject matter together until we can find a consensus that we both can agree with.

and it may just be that one or both of us changed their opinion on a subject completely because in the course of our exploration we both learned something new. but that is only possible if neither of us act like an authority on the subject refusing to accept new input.

If a company has a great quarter buy hired for a much greater quarter, there could still be problems. My understanding is that there was a bit of a hiring frenzy (everyone desperate to hire as many people as possible) that wasn’t really justified, and most of those companies still have more employees than they did two years ago (even ignoring hiring after layoffs).

With emergent complexity, the cause is hidden and we experience the result (the complexity) as a primary.

When we act without understanding that premise, we act in vain, because we're only treating symptoms and not addressing their causes.

Unfortunately there is no silver bullet when it comes to emergent complexity.

Perhaps at this point you have made up your mind, I haven't tried OCaml, but I can recommend you Haskell. I am not sure what approach you'd like to take by learning it, but typing code isn't enough, I mean, what's the point of knowing too much syntax? In the era of Massive Information Availability. I also don't know at what stage of your journey you are related to the functional programming paradigm but still I do have two related recommendations about it: FP101x (Provided by DelftX through edX [Now archived but still doable])[1] and the book Programming in Haskell by Graham Hutton.[2] Remember what Mr. Leslie Lamport says: "If people is trying to learn programming by being taught to code, well they are being taught writing by being taught how to type. And that doesn't make much sense." [3]

Python? You may be surprised to know one or two pending tricks about that programming language, take a look at Design of Computer Programs by Peter Norvig at Udacity [4]

Scala is a good option too, since you mentioned getting tired from lack of real statically typing. EPFL Extension School has a good one: Effective Programming in Scala (Also available for free at Coursera).

Hope that helps, and happy learning!

No. But neither is SSS if an encryption key is involved - because the symmetric encryption step is not information-theoretically secure.

Using SSS directly on the input will be information-theoretically secure but also multiply the size of the input.

The mathematics of SSS and Reed-Solomon are virtually identical.

Honestly, as long as the product isn't contaminated, the consumer doesn't care if it made in roller bottles or futuristic machines. At worse they are misleading investors, but are not endangering the health of consumers.

You're begging the question by assuming we can tell what sales are positive and which are negative value. In other words you're asserting we have perfect knowledge and can't be gamed, to argue the measurement can't be gamed.

The CSV Spec (1) specifies that “Each line should contain the same number of fields throughout the file”, so what you describe would be a noncompliant file. Nevertheless, I would expect both awk and pawk to be able to work with it just fine.

Both pawk and the recent version of awk can parse the CSV format correctly (not just splitting on commas, but also handling the quoting rules for example).

Either you are thinking of other project management tools or assuming that some of the "stale issue locking" and automated issue management tools that some larger projects use are default.

On GitHub, it is true that the Issues search shows only open issues by default, but I think users are quite aware that they may need to search for closed issues, especially since it's unlikely they are on the absolute latest version of a package, especially when debugging problems in production. Additionally, some projects close issues once the mainline has addressed them even if the fix isn't in a released version.

GitHub does not render closed issues as struck through, and it does not by default lock conversations on closed issues.

EDIT: I am not taking a side on whether or not it's a good idea to do this sort of "bankruptcy" mass close.

That’s a decent amount of revisionism.

Uber used VC money to heavily undercut the taxi rates, heavily inflate driver pay and decided to speedrun breaking as many laws as possible

As for getting into strangers’ cars, getting in a taxi is no different.

Do you think Uber was able to become as ubiquitous as it is if it didn’t heavily subsidize both sides of the equation and abide by the laws?

I doubt it.

Like you aptly describe now the fares as on par if not more than taxis, because now that they’ve attained dominance over the market by burning VC money, they can squeeze the customers and drivers alike.
I’m not even sure if they’re turning a profit yet.
> They don't develop engines, they don't develop rigid body collision systems, they don't develop 3D renderers,

note how I never suggested doing any of those things in the post-Unity pre-Godot weekend project I suggested—except for the "engine". if you call yourself a "game developer" in general—as opposed to an expert user of a specific piece of game development software—then you should intuitively understand the level of effort it would take to create an "engine", using C and SDL (or something like those—Zig and raylib, Jai and Simp, whatever), specifically for creating a simple single-threaded 2D platformer, with multiple levels and a title screen, in a weekend's time—it's far from rocket science. some arrays of structs, some functions that loop through those arrays to simulate and render stuff (as colored squares), some code that handles input and makes it change some variables in a struct, and it all runs in an infinite loop that breaks when the player presses Esc (optionally with a frame limiter). then from there you can add an "asset system" (arrays of structs, plus an ID enum and a load function, for textures and sounds), and a "scene" system ("TITLE_SCREEN, GAME, ..." enum, switches that branch on that, and a current level integer). (stretch goal: particles.) there's a tiny bit more to it than this, but that's most of it.

for someone who calls themselves a game developer as opposed to an expert user of certain software, this should all be completely straightforward to write in a weekend, because these lower-level constructs—underpinnings to higher-level abstractions found in general-purpose game engines like Unity and Godot—arise naturally from thinking about the things the computer needs to do (functions) and keep track of (structs, arrays of structs, pointers) to make your gameplay come alive, more generally, unbound by tool-specific mental schemas. I'm not suggesting one write a game in assembly, but merely something a bit closer to that than GameObjects and Components or Nodes. proving to yourself that you don't need such abstractions to make a game is empowering, and causes "game engines" to be somewhat demystified for you, unlocking a breadth of new knowledge, understanding, and possibly even inspiration—if you've only ever thought about game development in terms of the high-level abstractions specific to a general-purpose game engine.
Ask HN: What is the purpose of the “press any key” screen in video games?
What is the purpose of the initial "press any key" screen that often displays before the main content of a game?

I found some potential answers online, but I wasn't satisfied with them; they often sounded slightly apocryphal ("my brother knows a guy who works in games" sort of thing). I'm hoping there are some folks here from the gaming industry who have firsthand experience implementing these initial screens.

The possible reasons I found included:

- The screen functions as a "book cover" for your game, showing the player what the game is about
- It allows for preloading without the user noticing
- If multiple input devices are connected, this allows the game to infer which one the player wants to use
- Some platforms may require user interaction within X seconds, and the initial screen enables this somehow (?? I am curious to know more about the mechanics of this in particular, if true)

Not quite. As GGP mentioned, the necessity of keeping stock prices (and property values, and anything else securitized) high so as to not impoverish pension funds, 401Ks, IRAs, etc., is real.
