Hey, someone who thinks the same way I do. Never thought I'd run into another native port advocate in 2023.

That said: it's funny you talk about rewards offered by Valve and then list 4 Valve Games. I know they wouldn't do that, but it'd be hilarious to think about.

> Isn’t that is unfair? Not as long others use incompatible APIs (Mantel and Direct3D) and enforce users to switch platforms (all consoles). Apple, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo use platform exclusive titles for decades.

I don't see it as unfortunate, since very few devs are going to make games specifically to compete for saving 15% on rev-share. That's a huge gamble. And no one is going to bet on Linux exclusives for a chance to save 30%

The only potentially unfair issue may be that some AAA game ends up getting the rewards, the sort of studios who'd need that money the least. But that is ultimately what we want to encourage, so IDK. Maybe 2 rewards, one for general and one for "small teams" (defining that term will take a lot of fanagling).
That's supposed to be illegal now in the US.
Matrix = email.
Element = Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.

The Matrix name has never budged since the beginning of the project.
One of the Matrix servers is called Synapse. Others include Conduit or Dendrite (see https://matrix.org/ecosystem/servers/).

So yes, Matrix is the protocol, not the/a server.

Maybe your theater is the exception? Are you in a city? Here in central NJ, im seeing the same business as pre-pandemic. I have AMC monthly pass and so I see a lot of movies. Apart from blockbusters like Barbie or most superhero movies, the theaters are practically empty. Yes there are weird exceptions such as The Sound of Freedom but that was essentially a scam because many viewers were given free tickets by conservative organizations just to boost their numbers. But normally any non big blockbuster has a small handful of people or almost nothing. AMC is also still closing theaters in places like Charlotte NC which I would normally assume is a growth area.
Bad example, that should panic (in a perfect world it should be a compile error). The invariant of the type is that `E::Rest` cannot hold zero.
Good points... which devil to choose...?
I've been attempting to build a little hobby budgetting app the past couple weeks that could automatically sync from my bank since none of the OSS options seem to be able to this and require manual logging.

I thought this would be fairly straightforward but it's been anything but that - what few open formats there were for this thing are all being sun-setted and most US based banks seem to only allow API access of any kind to established companies. The only real option is to go through Plaid which still seems to require initiating a business relationship with them to get through all the red tape.

For whatever reason, if your in the US, real time syncing of this sort of thing just isn't an option at the personal level.

Only other solution I can think of at this point is to manually scrape with a puppeteer script.
Isn't that the job a product manager? There are other means and methodologies for gathering user sentiment before you go and build something.

You should get as close as you can, release the product, and iterate.

Todays world is release the product in some ramshackle form or fashion, collect feedback, iterate. To do that introduces a new construct of Feature Flags that would otherwise not be necessary.
If you don't care what I state about a particular study within the sphere of the replication crisis, I suggest you to fast forward instead of appealing to authority. Notice that I never asserted a position on either side of this "thought suppression" practice, I have no extrinsic incentives.
> The article lists potential societal causes, among other things. The fact that Mayo is not "the left" if anything makes my point stronger.

If so then I must have missed your point. Because it seemed like you were making a point about the left jumping to conclusions. Not accepting studied medical literature. Does "the right" not think any of the causes the Mayo clinic lists are legitimate causes? Which ones? Where can I learn about this?

> If this is the "institutional" view, imagine the actual left-wing view

No. Plenty of people spend lots of time imaging what "the others" believe. It's rarely leads to an accurate view.
It is terrifying to me how strong the public desire for retribution is. Despite over five years of conflict, the history books show that there will still many who wanted more bloodshed to 'get even'. As what might be considered an even greater tragedy, there were loyal members of the various French resistance groups who were summarily executed for their 'involvement' in Nazi or Vichy institutions, when in fact they were spying for the French against those very institutions.
Show HN: Reform Card – Secured credit card for formerly incarcerated people
Hi everyone,

My name is Mike and I am the founder of Reform card. Reform card helps formerly incarcerated people gain access to a secured credit card which helps them build their credit.There are millions of formerly incarcerated people who are gainfully employed and trying to reintegrate themselves back into society. They have the money, but the access to fair credit is what they are missing. These same people are denied by banks for credit cards, or they are offered the highest interest rates possible(36% APR!).

I am someone who knows this obstacle all too well. My mother was formerly incarcerated and is still struggling to secure housing after serving her prison sentence over a decade ago. I also volunteer with local non-profits in Oakland CA(city team(https://cityteam.org/oakland/), LSPC(https://prisonerswithchildren.org/)) who focus on supporting formerly incarcerated people reintegrate back into society, find/provide housing, and other services.

I have secured a bank partnership, already partner with non-profits to ensure those that need this service knows about it and applying for our corp b status.

If this is resonates with you, PLEASE, signup and let others know about it. The more pre-signups(real people who actually want to help) we get means we receive lower costs to issue cards and other fees the bank charges.

Thank you for your support.
Does Amazon really deserve credit for The Expanse? The first three seasons were SyFy, the next two were Amazon and notably less good (but still good), and then with Alex and the whole sixth season they basically took it out back and shot it for the fuck of it. I'm not saying that if they made a seventh season as a musical where the characters were furries with the effects from Cats I wouldn't still lap it up. But it feels like something Amazon bought into to milk rather than having created it.
Modern carbon fiber bike frames can't really be engraved. They generally do have a metal serial number plate attached somewhere.
> natural wine degrades quite fast when shipped with traditional couriers

It's sporadic to achieve and maintain the needed natural sulfur level in the wine. In most cases, you must add some sulfur to maintain wine stability for shipment. Many natural wine brands refuse to use any SO2 at all.

Imagine you're a small winery, poured your heart and did your best to make a great wine. Now it's time to ship overseas... by NOT adding any sulfur, you risk your product getting damaged. A small amount of sulfur is a small compromise you make to make your wine more stable and ready to be shipped overseas.
Yes, Valve is relying on gambling mechanics to entice people, the same way a casino does.
It's interesting to see people stay this. I tried switching over to Linux full time and Rocket League plays but stutters badly. It's about the only game I play these days so not sure if I'm unlucky or if it's a continuation of the "Year of Linux Desktop" stuff I've been hearing for like 10 years.
WebGPU + WebAssembly + TypeScript is going to be a pretty potent combo.
I doubt Swift + Metal is more performant. Actually, when I translated some Swift code to JavaScript, it ran faster.

Do you think email should have a branded client, simply called "email" available in all the major app stores?
Or XMPP have a branded client, simply called "XMPP" etc.?

Align on a protocol, experiment and compete with clients is a good way to make progress.
> replacing all of the old network hardware may just be a project too large to do on a short timescale.

If that is the case, then Amazon should hold off on charging for IPv4 on a short timescale until they have replaced all the old hardware and can support IPv6 internally everywhere.

When available, I pretty much always use pattern matching. It tends to shorten code while not reducing clarity (often increasing it) which means fewer opportunities for errors to creep in. Statically typed languages that can detect incomplete case handling also reduces the chances for some errors (as long as you don't make a catch-all case) but also helps when you change something so that a new case is needed. It also tends to shift the code to the left, reducing the indentation. So shorter, clearer, less unnecessary indentation. Generally a positive.

This site is called hacker news after all, so this is the attitude I love and welcome on here. Ignore the high-karma-naysayers, they don’t really contribute to anything.
Of all the "app store" type programs that I have to interact with, Steam is somehow the least painful one.

And I deal with a bunch of them; Gnome Software, Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store, Google Play Store, (Samsung) Galaxy Store, F-droid, not counting some dedicated pseudo-stores aberrations like JetBrains Toolbox and Wargaming.net Game Center... Those are all much smaller (ok, Google Play Store is probably the largest), almost featureless in comparison, yet they are slow as molasses and buggy as hell.
Looks good! Paisa Vasool! Especially as it is free :-)

You don’t have to, of course, but do you plan to open source it? That way others can contribute to it too.

How tightly is it bound to ledger? How hard would it be to adapt it to other plaintext accounting programs like beancount?

What if I only train on licensed human art "in the style of moebius" but legally distinct - you can't copyright a "style". A lot of critics seem to be arguing for a conception of copyright that's far broader than actually exists as a subsidy for artists (by which everyone in effect means Disney et al).
Not dealing with any trademark issue and other copyright stuff is probably worth the weirdness to them.

This looks really cool I've used beancount/fava for tax planning, but of course I had to code up my own tax models. In the US tax table change every year (by a predictable formula) and some forms of income are weird, like I bonds are exempt from federal tax, but are taxed by state income tax. It seems unlikely that you could support all the cases, but is there a straightforward way to plug in your own model? I did see in tax.go you had long term, short term, but couldn't quite find the income tax tables, like long term capital gains has different rates depending upon filing status and amount.
I've seen the same ads on their "free" movies. The way I see it, either some big pharma screwed up their ad targeting or Amazon is scamming them (the real customer) big time.
Fair. I’m not even seeing the author’s name in this piece, so it makes sense to direct the criticism at the the publication instead.
I really only bought a Steam Deck because I wanted to support the _spirit_ of a Steam Deck. I thought it could be a really fun and interesting computer. I am happy that Valve has been contributing back. I think the sales of it clearly drive that attitude. Not that they weren't before, but it helps to have a successful product to drive the work.

I have ended up buying 2 dozen games since it arrived and have gotten back into games. It is a life saver when travelling. At home, I leave it on the dock and actually use an old Stadia controller as the main input.

The Steam Deck is a special device.

> quasi-monopoly

AKA, not a monopoly.

Monopoly is such a funny buzzword to me because it's both wildly misused and completely misunderstood to be an inherently bad thing.

In reality, there is rarely a true monopoly and the only bad thing about them is that they enable anti-competitive behavior and that's the thing that's illegal and bad.

Amazon "quasi-monopoly" comes from having the best service. Great service is good for consumers.
The large models generalize better. The small models are easier to train for specific tasks.
Future proofing.
If there's no system to shut down the engine on overheating of coolant or oil, you're definitely looking at a fire hazard.

The bigger issue is the terrible efficiency; alternators are about 50% efficient, whereas proper mechanical generators are 90%+.

The better solution would be to buy a "generator head" and connect it to the engine...but by the time you get done making a frame to hold the generator, engine, fuel tank, radiator, expansion tank, etc - as well as the necessary safety systems - you might as well just have bought an used generator.

The CHIPs act is a very important piece of legislation for American national security. We really are in an untenable situation where certain key resources are almost entirely imported from regions closer to the sphere of geopolitical rivals than to ours. The decoupling from China that is happening is not the result of the CHIPs act, but it is certainly helping things move along.

For Taiwan's sake, it is a good thing that chip production cannot be created or moved quickly, as I believe it is one reason that Taiwan hasn't been invaded by China yet. In the event of a Chinese invasion, those foundrys would be destroyed well before China could wrest control, and even if they did, it would be unlikely that they could keep them in production, given their incredible complexity, unique parts, and requirement of exceptionally skilled labor.

1. Jeff Bezos no longer controls Amazon operations.
2. He doesn't own the company either, he owns a minority stake.
3. In what universe does Amazon come even remotely close to having a "quasi-monopoly" over the internet? This isn't true when limiting it to just e-commerce.
4. The majority of people actually prefer to watch ads over increasing prices. Streaming platforms ad-supported plans are MASSIVELY successful.

Amazon Prime Video spent 16 billion dollars on content last year and it's the worst of all the major streaming platform when it comes to original programming.

In the last year, their big budget bombs:

- Wheel of Time barely watchable CW quality TV

- Lord of the Rings oh my gosh level bad

- Citadel unwatchable it's so bad

I will admit they do have some OK recent content. The Peripheral was entertaining, for example.

But man, who gets fired for those billion dollar bombs?

Some of the earlier Rust embedded UIs demonstrate downsides. I like the idea in principle (Letting the compiler catch misconfiguration), but in the implementations I've seen, they don't work well with Rust docs, ie figuring out what types to declare, or how to construct things. My workaround was inserting arbitrary types like `i8` in relevant places and seeing what compiler message is output for the type it was expecting. It can also result in long nests of `<>`.

The typesstate pattern felt hostile when libs using it only included examples of use directly in a main function where you didn't have to specify the type; you'd try to use them in a program in a struct field, function signature etc, and wouldn't know what type to put in.

Example of typestates I've seen: `Spi<SPI1, PA5<Alternate<AF11>>, PA6<Alternate<AF69>...>>>>>>>`

When would be easier to use a plain `Spi` struct.

These aren't necessarily critiques of the typestate pattern in general, but those are the 2 points that pushed me away from it.
In languages that have strong support for pattern matching, whether it be on values or types, I find myself reaching for it instead of conditionals. It's all about the explicitness for me. You have to list out all the cases you care about, so there's no room for ambiguity. Plus, the compiler will usually warn you if you've missed a case, which is like a built-in bug catcher. It's also great for working with immutable data, less state to worry about. And let's talk about readability; the code basically documents itself because you can see the shape of the data right in front of you. You can even destructure data on the fly, pulling out exactly what you need. If you're using a statically-typed language, pattern matching adds an extra layer of type safety. And, not to forget, it nudges you toward a more functional style of coding, which I find leads to cleaner, more modular code. So yeah, I reach for pattern matching quite a bit; it often feels like the right tool for the job.
> It takes 10 minutes at the end of my day to record all my transactions

I’d love to be able to do this, but realistically (for me), I’d need something that works reliably on my worst days. If I’m out late, on vacation for a few days, dealing with some on-call thing all night, etc., I don’t want to be beholden to a 10-minute per day commitment that accumulates linearly. Discipline can only get me so far in the face of chaos—automation can take me the rest of the way there.

The 2021 vintage was very good, but the recent ones are even better. Sadly, we only produce experimental wines (new varieties, blends, different techniques) right now. Last year, we made 12 various experiments. Out of them, we will blend some more, and we will receive 20+ different wines.

My current goal is not to rush into the markets and start selling. I prefer to do experiments for several years, hear knowledgeable people's feedback, and then select the winners.
