If you prefer Civ4 over others, give Old World a try. Many of the same people involved, most notably Soren Johnson is also the lead designer of Old World, and the game brings many new ideas to 4X.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the team members. In our experience, most people who say Civ4 is the best Civ end up really liking Old World. When it comes to Civ5, I personally find myself agreeing with Sullla.
Show HN: Lume – The End of Spreadsheet Chaos for Customer Feedback
Hi HN,

A few months ago, I was helping out with a big research project and noticed something pretty frustrating. When it comes to design, there’s often a gap between when the research wraps up and when the design actually starts. By that time, a lot of the useful stuff we found out just gets buried in our spreadsheets.

That's when I came up with Lume. It's a straightforward tool that acts like a search engine for your spreadsheets, especially the ones packed with words instead of numbers.

With Lume, you've got this neat feature where you can set up a global taxonomy, map your columns, and standardize values. It’s a lifesaver when you’re dealing with feedback spread out across multiple spreadsheets. It organizes all that qualitative data so you can actually use it without the usual runaround. You can also see your data in vertical alignment, which I think is a game-changer for reading long-form feedback.

A bunch of folks from various companies have been giving it a whirl. Based on their feedback, we've been fine-tuning it. It’s still early days, but we think it’s shaped up enough to share more widely.

We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, or replace the big guys like Dovetail, Marvin, Aurelius, Userbit. We know they're out there, and they're great, but they can be overkill for the little guy or cost a pretty penny. Lume’s here to work with what you’ve already got, like your Google stuff, not to ask you to start from scratch.

Keen to hear what you think, so give Lume a go and hit us with your feedback.

Cheers,
Peter

My Canon printer is much the same.

The only feature I insisted on when I bought it was that I wanted it to be ink tank-based instead of cartridge-based. Other than that, it's completely unremarkable. People really need to assign more value to "completely unremarkable".
Younger crowd might not understand but back in late 90s early 2000 it was rare to find quality content/tutorials that are beginner friendly. Beej's Guide was one of the best quality content back then and even after 20 years it still stand in the first place in the topics covered.

Yeah, this sentence is almost impossible to take seriously:

Imagine a podcaster… pushing a stroller!
Omg why was I unaware of this? I bought an HP laserjet last year and am fighting SaaS software crap every time I want to attempt to print or scan. I am tempted to just trash my printer now.
I would love it if emacs had a decent acme equivalent. You can get part way there, but there are definitely times where I’d like the flexibility of it. It’d be a lot smoother for me than setting up, say, hydra and memorising a whole list of custom keybindings.

As a concept, acme was definitely ahead of its time.
I miss the old web, where everyone had a little website at (sometimes small) web hosting company and had everything under control. Blogspot is not the first blogging platform that disappears and won't be the last.

Maybe, there is something missing in the blogging ecosystem. I'm thinking of an easy to use GUI based blogging platform that generates static files. Basically something like a static site generator (Hugo and friends) with a nice UI + something to publish the result to whatever server is configured.

I am referring to the "growth mindset" as it applies to companies, and then pointing out how absurd it would be for a human to act the same way. The context is how the "continuous growth strategy" leads companies to release inferior products

It is really saddening that your comment gets downvoted. People really seem to enjoy limiting the freedom of others.
> improves grit

I like how you phrased that as the positive result of a (personal) growth mindset. For non-native English speakers, the word "grit" might be interesting to learn about. Aside from the other common meaning of "coarse grains as of sand or stone"..

> In psychology, grit is a positive, non-cognitive trait based on a person's perseverance of effort combined with their passion for a particular long-term goal or end state (a powerful motivation to achieve an objective).

> This perseverance of effort helps people overcome obstacles or challenges to accomplishment and drives people to achieve.

> Distinct but commonly associated concepts within the field of psychology include "perseverance", "hardiness", "resilience", "ambition", "need for achievement", and "conscientiousness".

It reminds me of a similar term, "gumption".

> gumption - Boldness of enterprise; initiative or aggressiveness.

Which the rules permit.

Being stubborn and winding up in the middle of a multi-union sympathy strike is similarly "entirely voluntary, by law".
Actually, it may already be too late. I just searched amazon for brother printers, and it looks like they've rolled out an ink subscription.[1] This is clearly the harbinger of doom---remember when HP did theirs and immediately made their printers worthless?

Doesn't "being different and ok with it" include some people wanting to do something "really stupid and dangerous" and you being ok with it?
The problem with stuff like this is: sure, maybe it's amazing.

Then what do you do with it? Is the UI reproduced anywhere else? Does it have LSP/intellisense support? Can it be automated through various means, such as macros? Etc.
That sounds fantastic if safe over the long term. If you are learning faster, do the results stick? In your case, it seems that the reward is worth the risk. Are you aware of any studies into the long term effects of microdosing psychedelics?
At least it's a step up from web3 companies in the business of stealing and laundering money by burning coal and scamming senior citizens.
Huh. What browser?
We have seen this time and time again. Open source libraries/authors begging for a pittance while the large projects built on top of them are flush with cash. Sure there are success stories like Blender, but those are products of survivorship bias. There is no reason that OpenCV should be struggling to get 500k with all the projects that use it.

It's really crappy that large organizations can still keep benefiting from these projects without putting any resources into them. Again I know some companies have donated to open source projects, or hired developers but that is the exception. Part of me wonders if Copy left viral licenses are the only way to combat this. If you are going to use a bunch of critical open source projects in your code base, and you aren't going to pay, you should at least pay it forward by making your source code available.

I've seen some people mention creating some sort of license that is Open source, but if you make more than X amount of money or have X amount of employees then you have to pay X amount in licensing fees. That seems reasonable and still allows small projects to still use these libraries like they always have. But then again that's pretty hard to enforce. And if the GPL is anything to go by, then a license doesn't necessarily stop flagrant misuse of the software anyway
To you what are some concrete examples of smart people with good intentions creating extreme damage?

Not really, no. The R-value is barely better than a sheet of drywall. It's better than many types of siding, but siding isn't for insulation either.

Interestingly, the medium of transmission here also backs up the message being transmitted:
Mastodon is quite barebones and maybe not as “feature-rich” as Twitter/X, but holy shit what a breath of fresh air it is to read content on Mastodon compared to Twitter.

Merely being able to scroll and read the whole thread without logging in shows how hostile the overly-innovated alternatives are.
I think uptake is slow because no one uses them nor wants them.
I think you are hung up on some careless phrasing on my part.

I'm lambasting the "growth strategy" that leads companies to release worse products via over-optimisation. I am pointing out how this sort of 'growth strategy' would lead to absurd behaviours if a human applied the same logic.
Not at all. It's something I've seen in practice over many years. Neither skill set is 'better' than the other, just different.

There is a need for people who are able to build using available tools, but who don't have an interest in the theory or foundations of the field. It's a valuable mindset and nothing in my original comment suggested otherwise.

It's also pretty clear that many comments on this post divide into the two mindsets I've described.
Now that I read it again I can see that interpretation (Updated).

I mean it could be bad for Swedish investments, so kind of bad?
No, it is simple.

Simple doesn't mean easy, practical, realistic, suitable, or many other things.

Simple doesn't mean good.
Why would they get hit with a C&D? What are they doing wrong?
They didn't enshittify their business when other printer makers did.
It's a shame that some sites are abusing this potentially useful feature to try and increase engagement on their site.

The correct (IMO) way to use this is to request permission after a user initiates it. E.g. clicking a button somewhere in the UI that says "Enable notifications" whilst being in some context where it makes sense to potentially want to enable them.

This is how the web share API works. Calling `navigator.share()` without user interaction will fail as it requires "transient activation"[2]

> why not issue each of them identities of their own

Because the easy ways of doing this are not nearly as secure as the short-lived credentials provided by the metadata services in these clouds.

With 5-min credential expiry you can know that if a developer logs into the VM (for debugging or troubleshooting or whatever) after 5min they can no longer invisibily impersonate that role. This makes audit logging and similar much more powerful.

I've frequently seen long-lived credentials being used as an alternative and this way anyone who have ever logged into any VM with that key can invisibly impersonate that service forever.

You can do this by writing your own credentials manager but this is much more work, harder to make as reliable as the one provided by the IAAP provider and you still need a root of trust somewhere. Relying on the metadata service moves the root of trust to something ephemeral and managed which is highly valuable.
You really need to balance both at a company. Some segments need innovation / growth at different times. You also might want to release / invest in competitors to ensure you maintain your market share which is taken via innovation.

Google kind of did this for a time with Inbox and similar products. Apple had multiple phone lines (less like this, but a tad). Facebook has multiple social media platforms. Block has square and cash app (among other things).
Show HN: AI/ML Jobs – Highly Focused AI/ML Job Board & Platform
Hello HN!

AI/ML Jobs: AI/ML Jobs is a job board and talent platform ONLY for AI/ML & Data Science companies. There are 5 roles/positions that companies can post under.

There are only 5 roles. Marketing, operations, and admin roles are NOT allowed on the platform.

1. AI/ML
2. Research
3. Ethics & Governance
4. Data
5. Software Engineering

The whole product is built using No-code tools like Webflow and Memberstack! There will be no marketing, operations, and/or admin roles on this job board. Alternative job boards don't really focus on just AI/ML or have really bad design (UI/UX).

Right now, this is only a Job Board but a whole suite of "platform" features will be launched later in future versions. This will be something completely different to anything else on the market currently.

One thing I want to clarify before anyone asks or mentions, there is no "AI" being used in this. This opens the door to a lot compliance risk, especially in the EU Market. The purpose here is simple, to connect the best talent with the best AI/ML & Data companies.

There would be no meaningful improvement to the product by adding "AI" features, especially at this stage.

As a non-technical founder, I partnered with an small but amazing No-Code agency based in Ukraine called Warmdevs to bring this to life!

At this early stage of the product feedback is EVERYTHING! I would greatly appreciate it if you could give some constructive feedback in the comments!

App Store > Games > Top Paid Games > See All

You at least get 200 of the top paid games in each genre.

Personally, I prefer to use a real game system over a phone to play games. It’s not Apple’s fault that smartphones aren’t a good place to play games. A game developer targeting phones can only hope to capture a sliver of spare attention of someone who is already doing something else (like waiting in a lobby or taking a 10 minute bus ride).

That’s why iOS games rarely cost anything to buy while Nintendo has been selling $40 games on mobile devices for decades.

Without sticks and buttons phones can only hope to emulate a real game system. A developer on a more dedicated game system can expect to find players who want to spend multiple hours on a game.
Surely, but in your setup?

Most employees don't seem to be in support of the unions at this point though? It's a bit hard to tell as there are no official numbers, but from what I've seen it seems like ~90% or so of employees at Tesla remain at work. And there is a high demand for their services, so they could easily go to other companies for work if conditions are bad.

For an even more configurable mouse, check out the Ploopy mouse and trackballs: https://ploopy.co/

Fully open source, the mouse (that I own) uses QMK for its firmware. Which means I can use key binding layers rather than single buttons. In other words, one button acts like a shift button that modifies the action of the other buttons. So I have easy access to page up/down, mission control (what was exposé in macOS), paste plain (shift+option+cmd+v), etc etc. I don't have anything Emacs specific on the mouse, but my keyboard (Keychron Q10) has several macro keys that I have meta-x and ctrl-g bound to.

It has nothing to do with the other cars, even if you desperately want it to.

It's truck drivers not keeping enough distance and are distacted by their phones. Watch that accident in Great Britain where the driver looks up from his phone too late and killed a whole family. If there is a traffic jam on the autobahn, NEVER approach it on the right lane with your car.
This is a really great point I hadn’t considered. I also think it’s worth considering software itself as one of the issues here. It’s much easier to continuously modify software than to continuously modify (for example) the supply chain or assembly line for vehicles or other manufactured goods. Of course these supply chains and assembly lines _are_ modified, and may even be helmed by people with a purely growth mindset. But, there are just physical realities slowing some of these more traditional companies down which don’t necessarily affect tech companies. Sometimes it just feels like the tech companies are on fast-forward. They start, they get huge, they get stagnant, and die, all much quicker than an old-fashioned company.
I would argue it’s actually easier to serve content to logged out users as you can cache the whole response and serve it at the edge. Then it “just” becomes a cache expiration problem.
> you should be able to just schedule a web notification locally. But you can't, you can only subscribe to a server.

This isn't entirely true; WebPush is server only, but the Notification API can be used locally. You could schedule a timeout that causes a notification, as long as the page stays open, and to do it while the page is closed you could use a ServiceWorker. Potentially a ServiceWorker may or may not stay active depending on the user's battery settings, but native notifications too can also be disabled by the user.
What a pointless website. Basically suggesting people shoehorn their class names into a fixed list.

Much of the website goes into pedantic levels of obscurity, e.g. undecuple most people would have to look that up and its prone to mis-spelling.

Other parts of the website are naïvely over-simplified. For example an animal apparently only has a head, foot and tail.

Sadly the website reads similarly to journalists who write articles in the company of a thesaurus, thinking they can sound smart just by looking up an alternative more obscure option in the thesaurus.

We run third-party toner in all of them, and they'll keep printing until the print quality fades.

I personally haven't tried refilling toner cartridges in a long time, it's not worth it when third-party toner cartridges are as cheap as they are and the Comprenew up the road takes the empty ones back for recycling.
You’re misreading the rule. Such titles are allowed.

If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

Just the relevant bit:

translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X"

My observation is similar but differs in a substantial way: it seems to actually take a lot of intelligence to accomplish the more shocking kinds of stupidity. Somehow there is an intelligent process but it gets perverted and turned into evil as a reaction rather than an intentional outcome. Somehow these persons have lost control of their own intelligence and have become victims of the same.

Lots of the effects seem to be summed up as "ego", but that is far from a coherent explanation. It's fear, pride, impatience... Those words seems to guard the gates of hell.

Regardless of where you got it, the analogy makes perfect sense and I'm sure others have come to the exact same conclusion. Growth will always be capped somehow and the sooner companies realize that you can only grow forever at the expense of everybody else the better. It's in a way amazing that whole industries can be so utterly divorced from reality that they'll wreck a good chunk of the planet just to prove the obvious.
> Is it something inherent with truck drivers

Truck drivers aren't necessarily dangerous, but trucks are larger, slower to react, and have longer stopping distances. Truck drivers are more likely to have driven for longer, and may not be as familiar with the behaviour of either the cab they're driving or trailer they're pulling if they have to break/swerve etc.
