That’s an interesting definition of “remote”. Remote-work companies usually don’t have offices. If remote work became the new norm, employees would be forced to arrange for a working space on their own, removing the choice.
> I'm really tired of people acting like it's just a free market where everyone is an equal, rational actor.

It's never been a free market. There was no golden age where everybody had access to public transit. There were zero public services at all, you were on your own. And often had to contend with bandits and worse.

I'm really tired of people acting like the only thing standing in the way of utopia, is capitalism.
It feels like any game developer or publisher big enough to be dictating engines top down probably has their own engine?

I have nothing to add except that this is such a wonderful interaction between two polite people. On the internet, too!
Awesome! I've got an old analog Tektronix scope on my desk that I still use regularly. And if I recall, I had to replace a capacitor or two on it as well some time back.
I think I'm several years out of date on this issue, but years ago one of the problems was that there were not standard hardware interfaces for things a kernel needs like interrupt routing or hardware bus enumeration. The PC for example is a very homogeneous platform. There are also standards like EFI. But the ARM world has been a wild west. Each device needed some kind of hardcoded hardware map.
Having had something similar (though not as serious) happen to someone I know, I very much envy your bliss.
Exciting! Challenging for sure! Good luck!

Maybe consider hosting the source code in an open-source alternatieve to GitHub?...
> but the lack of empathy on the part of the 'remote work for everyone, always' camp saddens me.

You are making the straw man here. People are mostly asking for a right to work remotely if they want to, that's all. And the status quo until very recently was (and still is) the opposite: not allowing remote work for people who want it, without any empathy for their needs. Try not to read it as an attack on the office, but more as millions of people asking for not being forced to commute and go to the office for a miserable experience.
If you think this is cryptic, just check out some of the numerology around Boards Of Canada.
HN really needs to add "No AI generated comments" to the site rules. I'm not interested in reading AI summaries in comments here; I come for actual discussion by real people.

How to Care for Your Kid’s Teeth
>Every device that can install Steam can also install another game, app or even launcher.

technically, you can put apps on Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft's consoles as well. It's more a matter of popularity and long term support. I guess we can definitely talk about adding other game stores on consoles, but it doesn't seem like a conversation that got much traction. Even from people like Epic that is going hard after Apple over this issue.

>How exactly did that change things, though?

you can't lock down hardware if you don't make hardware. I'm not speaking metaphorically here.

Steam is a software company that dabbles in hardware. The hardware being open source is not its selling point nor a point of business, like other hardware manufacturers.

>Taking games off an optional storefront is not "censorship".

in the same lens that rating a game AO isn't "censorship", sure. Ewen though such a rating kicks you out of all major brick and mortar stores and doesn't let you publish on Xbox/Playstation/Nintendo. I agree the term is used loosely in the games industry, and I am using the term loosely here.

But really, there isn't much ACTUAL censorship in games period, so it's not really a plus to say "steam doesn't allow games it doesn't allow on its optional store". I am more criticizing its opaque rulings and its infamous non-communication to devs over such issues.

>It should be plainly obvious why other studios are burned and Valve is not.

because others can make money off the cosmetics instead of just AAA studios, sure. Makes sense. That's what Crypto promised but that also crashed and burned because the wrong leadership was behind it, so that boat has sailed. I think AAA should just eat the cost like Valve and even older games like Second Life and just make a normal marketfront. I think Blizzard kinda did this with Diablo 3.

That doesn't explain the paid mod kerfluffle, though. What's the difference between modding a hat to sell for $5 and collecting a hat in-game to trade for $5 to someone else? Hell, one of them involves work to actually create that asset.

>The marketplace itself doesn't prevent you from enjoying anything in any of their base games.

I guess it depends on framing. I don't play GaaS, but the only difference between Darth Vader DLC and Darth Vader Lootbox is a guaranteed transaction. You can argue neither is "in the base game".

But I guess players complained about on-disc DLC back in the day too. the difference in "base game" is much more ephemeral now that you can launch updates on the fly.
That negative work is so true. Like you, that's my main complaint.

I'm a local celebrity due to putting out all the Big Fires - so now, whenever people see me on-site as a trapped/captive audience, I hear about every hint of smoke.

Thankfully our mandates are currently more... suggestions, giving credit to the "layoffs but not really" story IMO.

It's annoying to even re-negotiate. I've been remote for years, pre-pandemic, only appearing when required.

> You have to understand that isn't the case with conversational English, though.

Yes, conversational english is arbitrary. The preference there is the familiar so the listener understands. But both commonly used date formats (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS and DD/MM/YYYY HH:MI:SS) are inconsistent and arbitrary. You can’t say one makes more sense than the other because that’s just a matter of personal familiarity.
Yeah. An apology isn't enough in this case-- words clearly mean nothing to them.

We were always told C-level compensation is as absurd as it is because they're expected to fall on their sword for fucking up. Keeping your position after defrauding customers is not a sign of good faith, it's just another [social] contract broken.
Honestly, I think what I see next is not just ads, but sponsored content within the content itself. No different than YouTube.

Yet then, then… we can have tiers. There can be more interesting sponsors and advertisements in the pricier subscription tiers. For the bargain tier, you get the literal 90-120 minute “advertisements” I’m aware exist on YouTube (yes, as ad breaks!) that are basically financial scams. Except on Prime they might be unskippable depending on the device you’re using.

Then Bezos will have so much money he’ll need a second monocle.

Install a larger radiator is the correct fix if this is a concern. While the stock fan is not the most airflow, if it isn't enough you want the bigger radiator.
Honestly I really want to make one. Mostly because I want to stay in my terminal as much as possible, but I'm super fast with VSCode's keybindings and I can't handle the velocity drop during the learning curve.

Alternatively, if it's possible to emulate VSCode's keybindings in an existing editor, I'd be happy to go that route. I just don't know the space very well.
An airbnb kind of apartment actually.
> It’s interesting how some complain companies don’t listen to them, and others say that it doesn’t matter if changes are made after (rightful) complaints

In this case I think those can (rightfully and reasonably) be the same people. If a company rolls out a pricing/licensing change that is so detrimental to the developers that it seems like no reasonable developer would have thought it was a good idea, then it looks like the company rolled it out either without talking to their developers or without taking their feedback into account, both of which are equally bad.

In cases like this where the business acted so egregiously, the damage is done and trust might not be restorable long-term without C-level heads rolling.
I don't see how a short AI summary dissuades actual discussion by real people. If anything, it can lower the barrier to entry and encourage more people to comment and participate, especially for longform pieces.
freeCodeCamp uses UPI for donations, and it is free (so far), and you can pay YouTubers through Super Thanks via UPI. Homegrown solutions like PayU and Razorpay are solid, too.

I have previously donated to fCC and sent Super Thanks via UPI. It's seamless experience.

Now the question is whether it will be worth it to Kagi to maintain all these- I think- yes! Once these are set-up, these are low maintenance and you don't need to babysit it. Setting these up, catching up with local tax laws sound like a big barrier, but it really isn't.

I know what I am asking is a bit much. :/

Anyone breathing a sigh of relief on this isn't paying attention
Most of my frustrations with GHA arise when doing something useful conflicts with someone’s idea of security. For example, branch protection rules intended to stop devs from yoloing commits blocking me from pushing a version bump commit during a release workflow.
If they had gone with this one to begin with they would have lost some customers but no where near as many. What they did makes them clearly an unstable business partner that is willing to break the law to rip you off. Walking it back changes the deal but it doesn't change the type of business they are.
> Yes society will survive. No, climate change does not mean that things are getting worse.

Either you are insanely optimistic (to a point where it is actually ridiculous), or you lack information.

You do realize that climate change is, right now, going to make entire parts of Earth unlivable (the most humid ones, around the equator), right? As in "human beings won't be able to survive outdoors on their own because it is too warm"?

You do realize that this means billions of climate refugees, which in turn means global instability, wars and famines, right?
Different beasts, but if by any chance you love ClickHouse already and just want to run OLAP queries in-process, there's chdb: https://github.com/chdb-io/chdb
Exactly. If your project or organization is dependent on some external product or platform, that thing had better be boring and predictable. Busy people don't have the time or the patience to be jerked around by external surprises.

Walk-back or not, Unity is demonstrably not boring and predictable anymore. That's done.
The limiting factor in average horsepower output over time is definitely the cooling system on most cars. It's just that most people don't run their car at 80% of rated output for extended periods, otherwise you would absolutely overheat it.

I've towed large loads up extended grades (hello shasta and grapevine) and you absolutely will overheat on a hot day. And that's with an uprated towing rig that had a radiator sized for the job - imagine that same horsepower of engine in a passenger car with 1/3rd the radiator surface area.
Some of these "not human usable" complaints about typing/memorizing/pattern matching IPv6 addresses remind me of how long the distributed version control industry struggled with content-addressed storage and how "human usable" it was or was not. As the legends go Monotone spent years of engineering and lots of complicated code trying to build nice human usable sequence numbers in a distributed fashion, and then git just said "do the simple, stupid thing: show the (prefix of the) hash, people will adapt" and people did.

IPv6 doesn't seem "human usable" sometimes in large part because you aren't actually using it. People adapt. The human skills in pattern matching are robust: there are new tricks to learn, but there were always tricks to learn. (IPv4 addresses aren't "human usable" either if you sit down to truly assess absolutely how many RFCs are involved to build the patterns "everyone" has internalized that seem "easy". They are easy because they are familiar, because you use them often, because you've already adapted to them.)

This is very strange behavior for HN (especially because many HNers got 800 on their math SATs, I would imagine).
I think they framed it accurately and you are instead over complicating. Language for scripts is a decision that virtually every team ends up making regardless. The other questions are basically all irrelevant since the scripts and actions are both stored in repo, and therefore released together and versioned together.

I think the point about maintenance cost is valid, but the thesis of the comment that you are responding to is that the prebuilt actions are a complexity trap.
I'm out of the loop but used to use Unity as a hobbyist. What's been going on? The letter and comments hint at an out-of-the-blue policy change? Who was affected?
Notation is always lossy. And for what its worth, for the entirety of human civilization music has been an aural tradition passed down from teacher to student, and primarily learned by ear. The notation is just whatever is most convenient to people for taking notes at the time.
You don't actually need to order anything from Amazon. I don't know how much of a QoL increase it is to have that luxury for anyone except maybe impulse project-hobbyists. Even so, project planning is a skill worth honing.

Seems odd that NIST was the one defining this; the way things are phrased in this press release it doesn't look like a lot of technical knowledge (of which NIST is well endowed) was required. Rather it looks to me that the scope would be bread and butter department of State or Commerce.
I agree with that. Plenty of European and East Asian cities have massive commuter load with a way smaller per-commuter energy footprint than in the USA.
the US Army's Portable Medium Power Reactor – 1's Final Summary Report
This post has to be sponsored by big sugar... not a word of how sugar/white flour in processed foods destroy teeth.

The book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Price has many pictures of what teeth of people before and after modern processed food looked like.

It's not about brushing teeth: it's about the food. Having a need to brush tooth is just a side effect of bad food.

How do you think people didn't loose teeth and didn't get serious infections 20k years ago? Because they didn't eat these foods. Ancient skulls show perfect teeth (before agriculture) and perfect jaw development.

If modern humans didn't have a dentists 95% of kids would be dead due to tooth infections most likely...

My understanding is that GPT can't actually be used to port a game to sell, ostensibly it is for proving out performance possibilities available from when you do port your game (to native metal). Has that changed?

To me it sounded like there was a group within Apple that wants to create an emulation layer (and did essentially) but that leadership hates the idea and in its current state it is a compromise that it even exists at all.
As with anything, the typical business can use something off-the-shelf, but a certain percentage are doing things differently enough that custom development becomes practical. I had to custom build the billing system for Beaker Studio to properly meter customers. Even Stripe's metering API wasn't flexible enough to handle per-hour metering.

I’m excited about SQLite for web apps if only because it is one less moving piece in my stack, which focuses on prototyping and finding product market fit.

>This matters for cloud in that it means with Postgres you cannot take a "lots of small databases" strategy, e.g. database per user or database per document. You pretty much have to group a lot of data into one big database.

You're right, it's a very interesting strategy. Unfortunately, last time I looked Cloudflare's D1 didn't support this approach as there was no API to create a database at runtime from Worker code. Has that changed?

A Skylake CPU is an 8 year old CPU. Why are you even comparing old desktop-class CPUs to the cost of a battery replacement on a brand new device?

I can also buy an entire iPhone SE 2020 or something, for $100 as well.
This new pricing scheme made me switch.

I still think though that in many countries it's still high.

At least from my friend group, <5$/mo is the price where most would stop "thinking about it" and just subscribe to try the service after a friend recommendation. You would probably retain most users that would otherwise never have tried it in the first place. I rely on search for work daily, and I want to support non-ad-supported business, so I'm biased. If most users don't really reach the original 1000q/mo, then more regular "non-power" users could offset the cost. Or maybe that's already factored in the current pricing.

Either way, I did enjoy kagi quite a bit on the first beta, so I knew exactly what I was in for. But if I would have subscribed as a test with the 100 initial queries I don't think I would have got attached to it. It took me a while to trust the result and compare it with other search engines to get a feeling for the service.
It says that they're trusting developer provided numbers, and they've basically moved from literal installs to basically a user count metric provided by the developer, so it seems there is no need for it to be DRMed or phone home.

It's always more nuanced, but headlines don't have room for that.

If you advocate for "mostly remote work, with hybrid scheduling and hot desking as needed", some unempathetic execs and clueless middle micromanagers are inevitably going to try to turn that into a privilege to be allowed to work from home once a month. You have to open the negotiation by demanding full remote, so there's room for concessions allowing a few satellite campuses and occasional all-hands meetings.

The single thing that I most detest about GitHub Actions is how they, by design, completely miss the point of containers. Having "actions" that are just "install language foo" is barely better than just publishing shell scripts or even the days of Travis.

As a result, few GitHub workflows benefit from the immutability or reproducibility guarantees that can be provided by containers, and most workflows I interact with spend more than half their time running ridiculous installer scripts.

I see your point, although you also need to consider the millions of vehicles already on the road. But let’s say we snap our fingers and equip every car with an immobilizer. Do people stop committing property crime? Or do they look elsewhere? Do I also need metal bars on my windows? Steel doors? Should I avoid carrying valuables on the street? Do I need to buy a Cybertruck with reinforced windows in case somebody holds me up with a sledgehammer at a traffic light? Should I just avoid traveling without a security detail? At some point, deterrents seem more effective against individual actors in creating the society I want to live in.
