Walking through a park in Shanghai, I discovered that the many vending machines throughout the park will let you specify that you want to pay cash.

You can't actually pay cash, though; the slots that would accept it have been physically removed from the machines. The only way to get something out of one of the vending machines is to send the machine an online payment.
Judging by their longings, desires and fantasies, many people don't seem to know what it's like to be them.
In this respect, they resemble crabs.
Crabs, on the other hand, probably don't have to struggle with it because they can't imagine to be something else.
An idea that may be wrong of course.
Imagine you can't imagine anything.
A bit like imagining what it feels like to be dead.
Which inevitably leads to longings, desires and fantasies.
Imagine that your embarrassingly slow software literally costs people's health (and maybe even lives in the long run). But we will still pretend like everything is fine, because "the DEveLopEr eXPeRiEncE", and "jUsT buY beTTeR hArDWaRe".
And sure, hospital issued PCs aren't fast, but if they are anything from past decades, they still have processors running billions operations per second.
And such managing software isn't something demanding either. The fact that it takes any thing longer then your IO bounded critical path is pathetic.
It's just tragic how little we actually care today for end user experience, despite all the pretending.

It's not for anxiety, most cannabis enjoyers would know this. It's a painkiller, and for advanced users it can be a focus magnifier. The dosage and strain are both key to achieving a good experience that is more than just getting high. I think people are starting to realize this is just another stimulant that doesn't have to be any different than a daily cup of coffee, and just like caffeine if you are not careful and drink five cups in a row, you're going to have a bad time.

Only tangentially related but my wife used to work at a private institute research lab which was affiliated with a large university, and therefore used computing resources.

The University IT security staff did a great job enabling 2FA across the entire network.. big job, well done. They didn’t do the slightest bit of requirements analysis of those people using the network such as affiliated research labs. One day my wife went to use the computer _in the PC3 lab_ and couldn’t without 2FA. Even logistically getting a computer in - that computer can then never leave the lab. PC3 labs don’t allow you to bring in a phone or anything really.. you’re double gowned, double gloved, goggles etc… hilarious.

Took them about a week to explain themselves sufficiently for IT security to fix it.
I took a truckload of scrap steel and aluminum to the scrap yard and got a pretty good chunk of money for it. Used metals are definitely worth something. All old cars are cushed and paid for by the ton. You can even take old wire and piping to the scrap yards for money. That's why abandoned houses will get ripped apart for copper pipes and wiring.
Motor whine isn't a weird sound and it's unsurprising Hyundai doesn't have an FAQ page to explain it.

Difficult yes, but Quarkus can do it (Java got dynamic class loading after all: https://medium.com/geekculture/speed-up-development-and-save...

You are technically right about changing files of course, but remember:

- PHP speed is all about caching. Changing a file means rebuilding (all) caches.

- PHP debugging is nothing worth bragging about. Java is way more powerful and the jvm supports runtime reload of methods as well.

This also goes together with the fact that most php devs are println devs (from what I have observed).

And then there are other things like maintenance of old php applications is a major headache because on mac old php versions just disappear in brew. And new PHP releases like to break A LOT.
> "But open source projects / devs ... don't get rich out of a large user base."

Nah. Usually all they often get from a large user base is the frustration of dealing with entitled users who don't understand the first thing about open source, and who sees the dev as nothing more than their personal "code monkey", there only to make the project an exact clone of some proprietary software that user is familiar with.

Here's a modern piece of heavy equipment, a Ponsse tree harvester, with the operator showing how the machine is used.[1]
One big joystick for each hand, and a lot of buttons on each joystick.
The operator is guiding the beast, but once it grabs onto a tree, there's
some automation to cut the tree into preset lengths. Notice how fluid the
movements of the machine are.

It's nowhere near autonomous, but it's several times faster than total manual control would be.

If we're discussing viability of Minecraft on lower-end hardware, jumping from the voxel sandbox genre into the RTS genre (especially as you point out higher hardware requirements) is quite a stretch.

Minetest is as much of an alternative to Minecraft as Linux is an alternative to Windows. It works for some people, it won't work for most. It's less polished, requires some assembly (choosing a modpack), etc. They're quite obviously different games (as I pointed out already). But you don't need a degree in computer science, it's just a game. You can click on "new world" and start exploring and building.

What most people comparing the two seem to forget about, is just how much of a shitshow Minecraft modding is - and you don't really want to run the game without mods like sodium+lithium or optifine, because of how horribly unoptimized it is. I definitely prefer the Minecraft experience overall, but the game would've been completely unplayable on M1 Macs without tremendous community effort, whereas Minetest runs smoothly on a 12yro laptop with zero tweaking.

The etymology of "chauve" (bald) in "chauve-souris" (bat) is debated, but I've often read that it could be a deformation of a word designating an owl or a crow (it would be a cognate with the late Latin "cavannus" (tawny owl), for example).

On a similar note, the "cerf" (deer) in "un cerf-volant" (a kite toy) probably derive from occitan sèrp (snake) as a reference to dragon-shaped kites from Asia.
You are the one defending the indefensible behavior of a trillion-dollar corporation but I'm the fanatic.
I don't need to strawman; you are the one misrepresenting the malware situation in Android. You are also the one misrepresenting people requesting that a corporation let them do what they wish with a device they own. If anything, you are the strawman master.

On top of the strawman nonsense, you attack me as naive. You said the previous poster he had the ego of a dictator. If there is someone who needs to rely on something else than reasonable argument (personal attacks) that's clearly you.
It's rather funny because you illustrate exactly the point I alluded to before: intellectual dishonesty.
Start small and build it out.

1) I think you have a little bit of imposter syndrome happening - so check on yourself there

2) start small. For you I would suggest maybe a notebook (like Jypter) and just do one on say matrix cross products (linear algebra).
Each time you hit a new concept make a fresh note book and write it down in code. Push yourself here so for example don’t just use a cross product function actually write one.

You will find the note books show your progress and give you some dopamine hit for each task.

3) if you really taking it seriously you will need to do the same with pen and paper small tasks at a time
Apple accessibility including VoiceOver is amazing and from everything I read second to none. Though I don’t have first hand experience on that, I did spend several hours one time lined up for an iPhone talking with a blind girl - she was showing me how she uses both her Mac and iPhone with voiceover and with the screen totally black. Was a fun night.
Yeah, thats the part they don't tell you in school. Or hell, it wasn't even a thing when I was in school. 2012 was right around that time where PBR became popular and Graphics programming started to diverge. Right before Mantle was a thing and industry would start making everything more explicit. I guess I was just in a very important crux.

The more unfortunate news is that job applications also don't tell you this. Had plenty an interview as someone looking for "plumbing" graphics roles that clearly wanted a "GPU programming" role instead. Or heck, the role was more for a Tech Artist.

Of course, the actual interview is a complete crapshoot as well. And that's where the "but I need to know C++ and low level concepts" probably rears its ugly head. But then again, what software engineering interview these days isn't?
> “being a distributed business without a physical address is desirable from that point of view”

Everybody agrees that CZ owns a majority of Binance (around 70% I believe). How does that square with the idea that it’s a “distributed business”? Its ownership is more centralized than Meta’s.

There’s no legal system on this planet that recognizes the notion of a company that’s 70% owned by someone but doesn’t have a physical address. It’s just nonsense that was meant to keep regulators from catching up. But it’s over. The DOJ now has full oversight of Binance, CZ has pleaded guilty, and he may still end up doing jail time.
The important thing to change would be that the consumers of research need to care about reproducibility. Currently, that is only the case in very few instances and there reproducibility is typically checked quickly.
Yep. That's the whole principle behind stablity mechanisms such as tripods and easels

No. Several weeks is the time it takes to learn and master Docker.

About two hours is the cumulative time one must cater to the Dockerfile for a 3 weeks project.

But it requires institution insisting on reproducibility, and fostering best practices to make it even easier for the researchers to be compliant.

I get it that reproducibility can be quite hard for biology. But ML cannot be taken as an example of a hard problem.

While I much prefer Linear Algebra over Calculus, I feel that a good, properly done course on Linear Algebra requires a certain level of mathematical maturity best forged through a course in Calculus.

Also, if you know Calculus you can dive into approximation theory (e.g: Padé Approximations), which is a beautiful subject that lies in the intersection of Calculus and Linear Algebra.

In any case "Schaum's Outline of Linear Algebra" is probably _the_ best book on Linear Algebra I've ever read. It even touches on bits of Abstract Algebra.

HackerNews is flooded with clueless newcomers, it's not surprising that most of them don't know anything because they're also new to programming, the business and everything else, but usually try to join in on the conversation as if they weren't, because they have a set of opinions that they got from lifestyle YouTubers anyway.
Agree it's the right move.

But its also satisfying to watch American companies that snuffed out poorer local competitors world over, for 4-5 decades arm twisting and bribing govts to drop protection, now on the receiving end.

I don't see the trend changing unless there is gigantic drop in healthcare, housing and education costs of labour. The US needs many more changes over and above protection to be competitive again.
Binance value comes from servicing those niche projects - it’s an exchange. As long as those niche projects exist, new projects will emerge to service demand. What will change is design; future exchanges will be less regulatable. Already dexes are waiting in the wings; UNI has been in a price uptrend due to these decisions.

A smarter strategy would be to do what the US Justice dept is doing; co-opt the biggest players, install plants, and cut down any upstarts. Government enforced monopolies have worked for hundreds of years as an effective way to control industries.

I guess the underlying question from here is "how do I get a job as a graphics programmer? What do people interviewing for a grpahics engineer want?"

Probably not the best question to ask in this market where everything is especially selective, but even as a now "senior" engineer (I guess I passed that magical 5 year mark a while ago) it feels like I still fall into the catch 22 of "be a graphics engineer to get a job as a graphics engineer"

Geographical distribution and ownership distribution are not the same thing.

There’s no legal system on this planet that recognizes the notion of a company that’s 70% owned by someone but doesn’t have a physical address.

Yes, and so consider the possibility that some people see this as a problem to be solved and not an unchanging fact of reality.

Again, there is a huge rich new field of discussion about this stuff [1] and so I find the lack of curiosity by the author to be very uninteresting. You don’t have to agree with these ideas but to ignore them entirely is intellectually flawed, especially when it’s the supposed reason for these actions in the first place.

I don't think it's necessarily a trap. People asking this question more often have the underlying question of "how do I get a job doing X?" so they are asking "what do job posts expect out of a graphics programmer?".

It's more fickle, becuase you can definitely build amazing stuff with WebGPU/WebGL and JS. But it might not get you past the dreaded HR filter.
If the fines are high enough, seems like it could be self-financing.
You don't need to dig into the ideology of crypto to make the argument that Binance's business was essentially money laundering and sanctions avoidance. But if you do, you'll have no trouble finding people arguing that ducking state financial regulations is a huge and core utility of crypto (let sex workers get paid, buy drugs, etc). You can disagree with the regime, Patrick does and so do I, but it doesn't change the fact that the whole thing was just crime, crime everywhere.

This is amazing, thanks for sharing!
I think as the developer I can comment on this since I initially built it for my own usage.

The main goal of project is to enable easy file system and terminal access to all your servers, including things like docker/podman containers, k8s clusters, and more that you normally can't connect to with existing solutions out of the box.

It comes with a file manager that is built specifically for remote systems and their workflows, so it doesn't try to rival any local file managers like Windows Explorer.
> "Things were in other spots, but it was basically all the same idea. I've used both of those and others since then, and they're all basically the same."

I've read or watched PhotoShop tutorials and adapted them to Krita and GIMP before, so you're pretty on the nose with your assessment there. They're enough the same that I (who is not a professional graphic artist by any means) am able to learn from tutorials for other software which does a similar task and easily enough use that knowledge in whatever tool happens to be in front of me (once I find the related features in the menus or toolbars). Just gotta be adaptive to the differences, and aware of the similarities enough is all. It actually holds true for many other softwares as well, even all the way up (down?) to operating systems. There are more similarities than differences. Focus on what you instantly recognize as familiar, and start there, and then explore the other bits, and one tends to do just fine.
I wouldn't put that past them either. All they need to do to kill sideloading is make devices with sideloaded apps fail attestation. People's bank apps will suddenly stop working and they'll be forced to bring the device back into an "untampered" state.
From what I've gathered it's highly dependent on region, tried a few others but that probably set off some flags for them even more.

Send a dozen emails weekly, in the end felt a bit ridiculous begging. It's a generous free service so I can't complain.
>you either have a PhD or the exact experience (threeJS, unity etc) as above because that will help you set foot on industry

PhD seems extremely overkill unless you know the exact kind of graphics programming subniche you want to work in and are deadset finding the half dozen labs focusing on that. I don't think you need that kind of specialization to get a gig in games or VFX if your goal is indutry.

Exact experience is exactly why people ask about what to learn. If you know most people use UE5 it might make more sense to focus on the high level stuff to appeal to studios than to dig into Vulkan for years.

No, you can't. Your device will fail hardware attestation because you "tampered" with it. Then everyone starts refusing you service based on that alone. Your bank app stops working. Your streaming app stops working. Your games stop working. No doubt one day WhatsApp will stop working as well and at that point my phone might as well be a paperweight.
