There's also a short scene in the show where two humans are talking. One of them takes his knife out in an intimidating way and in a split second the closest host just takes the sharp part of the knife in his hand and put it in the table, so even melee weapons can't hurt real humans.

As a product offering of their platform they are. As well they were transparent that they were establishing a newsroom...as a product they were offering. Just because other social networks didn't do it doesn't meant it's nefarious.

Beyond that, why would normal have anything to do with what you're offering your users? Do you think Friendster, MySpace, or Facebook thought "what's a normal social media product we can offer"? I guess the whole "go fast and break things" ethos ends with "but totes don't hire journalists and create a newsroom as a possible profit center because some people don't know how to evaluate disparate sources of information on the internet".

Cross-platform statically typed 2D&GUI framework, suitable for games, paid upfront and not phoning home

UE4/5 are way too large for most projects.
Unity double-dips your revenue, is buggy as hell, has no support and no source code.
GameMaker wants a subscription, has no source available and GML locks you into their tiny ecosystem.
Defold forces LUA on you and has rather limited device support.
Cocos2d is apparently a Chinese subscription now? Also, no good editor.
JUCE has a good editor, runs everywhere, is price reasonably, but is mostly CPU and not GPU.
Dart+Flutter look promising until you notice that they run Skia WASM inside the dart VM which itself runs in WASM which runs inside a JS VM and performance is abysmal.
JS frameworks run badly on consoles like Switch because you can't AOT compile them. Also, no static typing. Godot forces their rendering and engine loops on you, so you're limited to their render pipelines which makes it unsuitable for app GUIs.
>How about AMD does not have infinite resources

How about not worshipping AMD and giving them free passes that nobody else has?

Both Intel and Nvidia provide software for the hardware they produce, and they wrangle in other developers if their assistance or cooperation is necessary. Why? Because it's their job to sell you a complete, usable package when they sell a product.

Why does AMD get a free pass to straight up not? The meme of small indie dev can only go so far.

I understand that you like zero values as an alternative to initialization of objects as nil like Java does it. I think the parent comment explains pretty well what the issues with this approach are. Taking Rust as an example (because that's what I'm most familiar with), it's possible to simply enforce that variables are initialized explicitly or that safe constructors are provided, avoiding all the nil safety issues.

And if this is true, isn't this an implication that Henry is lying to investors about the problem? Karri has already proven he hasn't opted in to CartaX.

The Guide for Making the Best Career Choices in Tech
i think it's true that xp is for building a team with dependable performance, but i don't think that's true of incremental design in general, and i think what you're saying about 'discovering the best design' is actually backwards

incremental design by refactoring is, quite precisely, intended to cope with the situation of not knowing how to design a system at the outset. however, inevitably at the outset you don't understand the problem well enough to discover the best design for solving it. there may exist some problems you understand well enough at the outset to come up with a workable design; there certainly exist others you do not, however wise and talented you are. the workable design consists entirely of things you know will work, and it does something you know is sufficient to solve the problem. sometimes you should do this

but it will never give you the best design, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. your initial design will probably do some things that, while sufficient to solve the problem, aren't necessary. the optimal design would avoid spending effort on those things. because you don't know all the things that will work yet, it's likely that the optimal design would incorporate things that you don't know will work at the outset. finally, there are problems you don't understand well enough to even come up with a workable design for, at the outset, but which you can learn enough to solve in the process of solving them

and that's what refactoring and incremental design is about: enabling your design to benefit from the things you learn in the process of building your system, so it actually can be the best design for solving the problem

The compression ratio depends on the entropy of the image more than anything else.

Chroma subsampling isn't the reason for low bitrates - by your own logic, grayscale would be smaller since it's effectively removing any chroma information.

What gets you from 24 bpp to 0.12 bpp is primarily the arithmetic coder and that only depends on entropy. Just for shits and giggles I took two images (resized and cropped to 1280x720) and saved them as jpeg (15%, 4:2:0).

The high entropy image (a garden with lots of flowers [1]) resulted in 83.476 bytes. The low entropy image (a stylised drawing of hills with a sunrise [2]) resulted in 22.299 bytes using the same settings.

To further confirm the hypothesis, I applied a size 4 average blur to the low entropy image to further reduce details and saved it using the same settings. The result was a 19.104 bytes file. Doing the same to the high entropy image resulted in a 34.646 bytes file - a whopping 60% reduction in size by just reducing the entropy.

This shows that reducing entropy is the significant factor here, not colour.
It also means that you can get some 100x100 images to compress down to 144 bytes, but for most that simply doesn't apply.

You could at least give an example. You claimed that AMD can’t make software, full stop. That’s not a fair analysis.

I switched to an AMD card last year and I’m playing games old and new without any sort of issues. I even think the driver software is easier to use than Nvidia and I like how I don’t have the ugly 1990s Nvidia control panel anymore.

I also like how I don’t have to login to an account for automatic driver updates like I did with the GeForce Experience application.

Plus, you can turn off telemetry in AMD software, where that’s not even an option for Nvidia.

My last card was a 3070 and so far my upgrade to the 7800XT has been excellent. No difference in software has affected me in any perceptible way.
Sure 70/75 whatever. The point is that range means “how far can I go on a highway”. The city range is more than that and also doesn’t matter for noncommercial vehicles.

Why does it need to? I mean, why do you need a tax return, if your taxes would be lower if you just got charged the right amount in the first place? And then isn't the role of society to audit their own taxes, and at the same time support candidates that vow to simplify the tax code?
Its comments like this that keep me on hackernews everyday
> [...] I don't share your optimism on whether most tax payers would assume the answer the government got was correct or not [...]

Rephrasing your response, it sounds like you would say you expect most tax payers lack the ability (or interest) to compute their taxes correctly under any circumstances.

Review has nothing to do with it.

I believe that providing people the correct numbers is just going to increase compliance. They don´t want to audit anything. They want to pay what they have to pay and get on with the rest of their lives.
> there's no need to be condescending

Didn't want to, consider "you" to be plural in my last comment, or replace it with "one". I honestly believe that reasoning about commits as "diffs" leads to nothing but confusion.

> They don't, though.

They do. The fact that to write a letter you type each character separately doesn't mean that what you're operating on in a text editor are one-char diffs. You're composing a single letter to save - just like in Git, where you're composing a single state of the repo to then commit (or in other words, to snapshot it). How exactly you compose that state (by using index, or commit-tree, or subtrees, or placing files directly in .git, or...) is irrelevant to the resulting repository graph - and that graph of snapshots is ultimately the data structure that you're conceptually operating on (regardless of how it's represented on the disk).

You work on commits, not trees. Commits are snapshots of your files. Trees and blobs are just how Git represents your files - almost an implementation detail. From the user PoV, Git could even be creating new directories in .git with copies of your whole working dir for each commit and nothing would change conceptually, it's irrelevant to the high-level mental model of a Git repository.

> Can you (in general) even explain things like rebase and cherry-pick without the terminology of diffs?

A diff is a result of an operation applied to two snapshots. Cherry-pick executes that operation and uses the result of it (at least conceptually). You can't think of it as operating directly on "commits as diffs", because then things like cherry-picking a merge commit wouldn't make any sense, while they still make perfect sense and are easy to explain with the "commit is a snapshot" mental model. Some things in Git calculate diffs between two commits and use that result in some way, but that doesn't change the model of the repository.

And because Git often shows you diffs for convenience, it's easy to develop a wrong mental model of the repository - a model that most people operate on, but which will bite you sooner or later. That's exactly why so many people end up being confused with Git.
Street miles (or minutes) under standard traffic conditions would also seem important for many drivers.

Maybe as a sort of different way at looking at this, what if the hiring process had a different sort of architecture focused more on what you can do rather than arbitrary resume terms?

First, you start by making a demo showcasing your skills. It has to be something web-accessible.

Then, you use this demo as your application to jobs.

You can also just submit your demo to a pool, and companies can review submissions to the pool, and contact you if they like it.

Your work becomes the application, not your PDF.

The books that have helped me the most have been about office politics and how and why people get jealous and who does well and why.

And I go “how the fuxk did you know that?”

If some VP is super angry, I can’t understand why.

Someone with more normal understand goes: yeah he is under a lot of pressure so that is normal just be more relaxed etc.

Probably 90+% of books published are "obscure" in the sense that they didn't become best sellers and won't be recognized by the average person or likely mentioned in a list like you requested. Most books just don't become popular enough to be well known. Which I think is a tough benchmark.

> In the US half the people in charge of the government hate it and want it to fail. Of course it's going to be bloated, inefficient, and costly. It's being sabotaged from the top.

How are republicans sabotaging New York City, San Francisco, etc? Historically, half of all governmental spending in the country happens at the state and local level—-and that comprises most of the services that affect people’s daily lives the most. Blue states could have big, active, well run governments if that were possible, and republicans could do very little to “sabotage” them.

In practice, the most well-run places in the country tend to be moderate red areas where government has limited objectives but does it well. I grew up in red state Virginia and it was very well run. When California was well run, it was a red state. Florida is a well run state. I live in a Romney ‘12 county in a blue state, and it’s really well run, unlike Baltimore, where I used to live. I actually love going to the county landfill/recycling center, because it’s so neat and orderly and well run.
