> Nintendo comes to mind; charging the Switch (the earlier models IIRC) with a third-party adapter was a lottery, and the losing prize was a fried console.

The problem you're thinking of was caused by a Nyko third-party docking station with a faulty hardware implementation of USB-PD. While Nintendo's software implementation of USB-PD was flawed in some ways, it didn't cause this problem.

> I think it was the NES or the SNES that used a standard barrel jack and voltage, but reversed the polarity, with no circuit to protect the console

There is, sadly, no "standard" polarity for barrel power jacks. Center-positive and center-negative are both fairly common.

I believe what GP is saying is: coming from python, which uses `and` and `not` and `or` you expect those to be the binary operators in ruby as well. You are then surprised when they behave unexpectedly. Who is then to blame for your frustration? Is ruby a bad language for having both `and` and `&&`, or are you at fault for not doing enough research? (I don't see why someone coming from python would look any further after trying `and` and seeing that it seems to work just fine).
I think this is an unfortunate situation, but one that doesn't really happen to someone that does ruby day-to-day; so it shouldn't really factor in as an argument to write ruby off.

But then is being surprised by `["0","1","10"].map(parseInt) // => [0, NaN, 2]` in JavaScript a sign of bad language design or does it just mean that you don't have enough experience with the language yet?

To clarify submission-

-if you disable the plugin, it will be enabled when you restart.

-if you uninstall the plugin, on restart an old version will appear, enabled, in its place, begging for an update.

However given that JetBrains didn't block either uninstall or disable, the most logical explanation is that this is a bug/unintentional. The rollout of this AI plugin has been really poorly done, with it completely failing to function on the first iteration. You couldn't even login or activate.

Hanlon's razor applies. JetBrains has too good of corporate behaviours to be trying to fool people in this case, and the surrounding evidence all points to a bug.
You are saying it's normal to use "water cooler" talk to find what you should be working on?

The sad thing is that probably for some organizations, that's the norm.

Hard pass on that!

> This is the core problem I have with Wayland. There is no "Wayland server", just as there are no window managers. It's _just_ a protocol.
>
> Wayland has conflated those two concepts by making every Wayland compositor have to do both roles.

This is fine. Every windowing system in common use (and a dozen others) took that path. X11 is the odd thing here.

IMHO the actual strategic mistake for Wayland was that they prioritized writing standards over iterating on a working reference implementation that was usable as a daily driver. You shouldn't need an alternative window manager any more than you would need an alternative trackpad firmware. It's supposed to be invisible. Draw the window borders using a plugin/subprocess, because your existing user base demands shallow "customization". Cover the 99% use case, and expose an API for extensions to do stuff like auto-tiling or shader effects. Focus on what users actually need from the applications (like: working screen capture).

X11 - the platform with more window managers and terminal emulators than actual apps. Wayland needn't repeat the same mistakes, but here we are on that trajectory.

> KDE in Wayland and Gnome in Wayland most likely share zero lines of code (I haven't looked, so I don't know for certain).

Close enough. We have kwin, Mutter, and wlroots (the last one effectively doing what Weston should have done from the start) - three disjoint codebases.

Gnome telling SDL2 to link to libadwaita to draw clientside window borders is just cherry on top.

Making it worse, the X11 developer team has publicly stated several times X11 is beyond fixing. That's why the X11 team de facto abandoned X11 and created Wayland in the first place.

X11 is a complete dead end. All applications need to eventually update. Put pressure on app developers to get to it...

> This would make sense if the population growth was increasing but at a slower rate. But, the population is actively declining. Somehow, 5.3% of people went from having housing to leaving, so I don’t think housing is the only story here.

Yes, when your rent goes up 10-20% YoY and you simultaneously lose some or all of your income, you tend to leave.

A lot of people left NYC in the last few years because they could not afford it, with housing being both the main expense and also the one that has increased the most in the last few years.
>I live in NYC. The problem is that there’s literally 0 housing. That’s it.

>Literally so many people want to move here, but you look on all of streeteasy on a given day and there’s like 500 apartments. In a cities of millions.

I'm currently in my mid-30's. Throughout all of my 20's, I thought it would be a blast to live in NYC. Then I had a good stretch where I visited it a whole bunch of times, hanging out with friends and family who lived there, and you know what I noticed? Unless you were an older family member who owned a home/apartment, every younger person was renting and the topic of conversation among locals, both locals who knew each other and locals who just met one another, was about where they're living, how much their rent is, what kind of battle they had to go through to get the place, what kind of battles their friends went through to get their places, and then they'd compare the different amenities they had or didn't have. I watched these same conversations - some of which were told like war stories - play out again and again and again and again.

Then, you get into the whole issue of bed bugs, how prevalent they are in NYC and how much of a nightmare it is to deal with them, and you realize that life in NYC is largely spent just trying to figure out how to have a place to live, and it suddenly feels incredibly stupid to bother to try and move there. The nightlife and entertainment and culture, as cool as they are, just aren't worth it if you're constantly hassling with such a basic need.

But that's just me. /shrug

Regarding Uber. Uber is deeply polarizing because it made no money up until the most recent quarter while racking up $31.5-billion in operating losses since 2014.

But they made more than 300 million last quarter if I recall.

They “yet to turn a profit” criticism hit a roar in 2022 as the easy money dried up. See articles like:

https://www.curbed.com/2022/05/uber-ceo-memo-super-pumped.ht...

Of course this opinion is now under threat as Uber is turning a profit. But the idea that Uber is a failure that just hasn’t realized it’s full potential in that capacity yet is still deeply entrenched.

Ask HN: Working on a minimalistic gaming platform, feedback?
Hello HN,

Like probably many of you I have kids, they're clever and they totally get sucked into the non-creative game platforms on their phones, the web and basically anything with a screen.

Eye candy galore, zero creativity from their end, just consumption. They're utterly chanceless against the army of psychologists that is engineering their dopamine addiction. Like most other parents, this doesn't sit right with me so I've decided to at least try to do something about.

I'm working on the most minimalist gaming platform that I can imagine, think 'KIM-1' but for computer games. The catch: you will have to build it yourself if you want one. All of the designs and any of the code that is required to build it will be open, there are a number of things that I'm toying with that I'd like some feedback on:

- do you think it should come with some pre-built games or rather not?

- how much would something like this be allowed to cost? The BOM is probably around $200 or so, and it clearly isn't able to compete with commercial stuff out there, but it also isn't meant to be.

- are you aware of any other efforts like this one?

- do you think it is worth making them as kits or maybe even as pre-built units?

- The unit will be a case with the display and the computer built in and two wired joysticks with minimal functionality (u/d/l/r/click), power is via a USB adapter.

- I'm toying with the idea of distributing software on paper alone, to get kids to type in their programs and to fix them rather than to be able to click a few buttons and have a running game, do you thin that would fly?

Possible platforms: Arduino R4, Raspberry Pi, which one would you pick and why?

Any other feedback that you've got that you think might be useful?

I don't have software, pictures or CAD stuff ready to go yet but that will happen early next year.

thank you all for reading and responding,

Jacques
The "resilience" argument was misused and misapplied during the pandemic. You also saw it used for school closures -- "kids are resilient". It seems to justify inflicting known harms by having faith in "resilience".

Not directly related but I noticed that I can be most productive and focus best in a cafe where there is a continuous white noise. Why doesn't this happen in an open office? Also as I see in 40's movies, the newsroom of newspapers were open offices and I can imagine concentrating there. That must be an interesting collection of noises, typwriters, telephone conversations, joking around etc. etc...
1. Most people rent not buy in NYC. There are plenty of rentals.

2. I’m in the market to buy, and I’ve been able to make bids below asking so I’m not sure demand is as high as you’d suggest.
I mean it's a problem, but it doesn't feel like a new problem to me.

Interesting, is the housing supply decreasing at all, or are those houses sitting empty for long?

If those houses are sitting empty for weeks then maybe there's going to be a bit of a correction (hard to imagine rent ever going down in NY though).

If those houses aren't sitting empty for long, then maybe NY is going through a lot of churn. Will be interesting to see how NY changes over the next few years.
Not sure "we" is, but I think the people who have had to uproot their entire lives because of poor leadership, would rather the poor leadership leave.
Covid certainly didn't wipe out %5 or anywhere near that. That's roughly 400 million people if scaled to the whole world.
Ahh! This would be a cool longitudinal study for the census to follow up with. Asking “Did you move to form a family because where you left was too expensive?” but also observing the revealed preference (did they actually have a kid or kids after moving).
There's absolutely a housing shortage. Fewer people living in one unit is how you get a shrinking population while the housing supply remains static.

And rent control exacerbates it, as you have literally over a million people that are a "locked into" their below-market rate units and can never leave because they'll never find anything that cheap elsewhere, regardless of whether they still need that much space. My great aunt for example is 101 years old and lives in a 3 bedroom apartment in Queens. 50 years ago there were 4 people living in that apartment (including her husband and her kids, all now dead).

Plus there's the issue of renovations/demolitions that remove units and replace them with a smaller number of more expensive units.
I’m not sure I agree that this is close to reality.

The reality is much more benign. Musk isn’t the savior of free speech, he inserts rules against it constantly, like throttling nyt or saying they’ll comply with authoritarian states. He’s complains about spam and bots (despite claiming it’s an easy problem to solve) then changes verification in a way the makes it difficult know who is actually who.

Separately, you seem very bitter toward people who have left twitter after Elon changed it. Perhaps because with the voices of the elite (a politically loaded term you’re using to describe experts or people at the top of their fields) departing, the platform is less valuable and interesting.

The sad thing is, I think Elon could have been a good steward for the platform, but instead he’d rather antagonize advertisers and a subset of his users. That’s not being the great leveler though—if people select out, it’s no longer a common/shared space for everyone.
NYC is insanely dense already. “Just build more housing” isn’t really viable.
OpenRewrite – automated mass refactoring of source code
It probably comes down to what your practice of programming is.

If it's "search for code snippets that might do what you want, copy/paste, change and adapt until it mostly works," then, yeah, LLMs are going to be a huge time saver.

If it's "sit there and think about what you need to do, then write and debug it," then LLMs aren't quite a force-multiplier. Honestly, good auto-complete and decent software architecture are probably at least as effective as an LLM when it comes to composing code.

Over-simplifying here, but you get my gist. The latter method still benefits hugely from LLMs when it comes to boilerplate code. And there's still a lot of boilerplate code in programming! Today I was asking ChatGPT if it could scrape info out of HTML, and it autonomously wrote a Python script to do it for me when I asked to work on a larger chunk of data.

Human verification is very expensive, compared to unit tests. It costs money to pay that human to do it, time for them to test it, time to describe issues found, time to send it back for a fix.

Unit tests - actually, all automated tests - are comparatively cheap. The developer can run them immediately.

All code will have bugs. The "trick" to building a productive development pipeline is to catch as many of those bugs as possible as early as possible, and thereby reduce both the temporal and monetary cost of resolving them.

> The reasons those stories are told over and over is because we're highly susceptible to things that use our pleasure centers in ways that lead to maladaptive outcomes.

That’s an outdated and primitive view. People who are rich aren’t fat simply because they have easier access to food. Non-illicit addictions (like smoking) don’t happen to people uniformly simply because nicotine is at the same supermarket that everyone goes to. If people are about to “amuse themselves to death” then that is because they are leading an unbalanced life in some way, like being overworked or not having their needs met (like “social needs”, which I hear is a thing (cannot confirm or disconfirm)).

And if a lot of people have those problems? Yeah, then it becomes a societal problem.

But to talk about that you would have to look beyond the symptoms. But I guess worrying about Zappaesque sex robots is more fun.
I don't think you're right about the many worlds interpretation here.

In the most popular "simple" many worlds interpretation, the whole universe is a QM system described by the universal wavefunction. The "worlds" are just "branches" of the wavefunction that are not entangled with one another.

The Schrodinger equation (and the more advanced QFT versions) are fully deterministic differential equations: the state of the universe at time T is fully determined by the state of the universe at time T-x, for any x. This remains true even if x is negative: there is no "arrow of time" in QM, there is no distinction between the past and the future in any QM equations.

The only "non-determinism" in Many Worlds is thus of the knowledge kind: you don't know which "world" you happen to be in, so you don't know which result you'll notice. But this is like being spun around a coin: you don't know which face you'll end up looking at, but you know both faces actually exist. All the possible outcomes of any QM event are realized in "some world", there is 0 uncertainty.
