Not many things I (or anyone else) can say about what your family is going through. I wish patience and courage.

Your short story "Four Magic Words" is great and I can see how it's affected by recent events. When I saw the Greek phrase "Η Aνθρώπινη Ζωή Εστίν Ιερά" / "Human life is sacred", and after having read your post about your son, I understood that you have some connection with Eastern Christianity.

Being Greek and Christian myself (but not hardcore or old fashioned) I sympathize with you on many topics and wish for the optimal outcome in your family strugles.

I don't understand. How you decide to treat employees is quite different from what tax shenanigans your lawyers and accountants cook up.
The more realistic outcome is they get onto bikeshedding other choices like pickigng a more configurable tool since, you know, you haven't actually eliminated choices, just reduced them without constraining: infinity - 1 = infinity
I’ve found after years of trying to escape all that I’ve lost. Talking about it helps the most.

You can see the PTSD and anxiety still has me up at 4:16am, I still don’t sleep well. I’m still healing and I imagine I may never fully heal but I do have hope that one day I will be better and have grown immensely through the experience but even today I have survivors guilt for being at work instead of home.
I added some links to my original post that you need to read.
That the specification for the input element--and ALL HTML elements--does not state to use a closing slash should mean something or at least indicate something. If it's required or has meaning you would think the specification would show that. It doesn't. It never has.

You also need to read up on what a foreign element actually is and it's not HTML.
No; they don’t, because they cannot afford to not.
Glad to see I helped get Rudin into the top 10. :D

More seriously, I remember many of these questions and it’s important to understand sentiment matters. Many of the mentions of SICP are not glowing. Indeed, they’re specifically written by people who want to puncture the bubble of worship around the book.

With all of that said, I think this list is fun.

> This is empirically not true. If the value-chain is so 'ruined' and 'uneconomical'. Why are there so many iOS devs?

Survivorship bias. You only see businesses that have high enough margins to eat the fees. Whether that's a desirable set of incentives for long-term prosperity of everyone involved is a different question.

Apple could raise their fee to 90% and there would still be plenty of iOS developers using in-app purchases, because selling a few bytes in a database is effectively free. It would all be trash, but they would definitely be there.
Especially while having to pay 19-25% VAT on most purchases...
Study it all they want, I really don't want to be under artificial UV in an office setting for 8-10 hours a day. Especially since the germs will eventually become immune to it under such persistent steady evolutionary stress. We have enough cancer contributing technologies in our life already without adding more ozone and UV.
"but how does that translate into actionable advice?"

Perhaps, be aware of what you need in coworkers / end-users, and look for that?

It might be difficult for a 9 year old but there was an interesting series on YouTube or twitch called handmade hero. I didn’t follow it all the way through but the person hosting it did a weekly livestream and just started writing a game and engine from scratch in c. I don’t know if it’s still active but there are 600 videos in a YouTube playlist.

Even if not sticking with games I think it’s possible to learn a lot from the series.
I find it kind of cute that they set up this mock-up currency 'kudos' to toy around with it. (https://demo.taler.net/en/)

What makes it (more) cute is that you can use it to reserve entries in their GNS first-come-first-served service. (https://fcfs.gnunet.org/)

Used this for a camera project in 1992-3. We had a 16MB machine and our images were 14MB, so we couldn't squeeze in to Windows 3.1. Worked a treat, and was much easier to work in the flat memory space it offered IIRC.
Ask HN: Voice only messaging, unable to read
I have a friend who has lost the ability to read but he can hold a conversation quite well.
At the moment he is unable to process his messages on his own.
What is a good way to help him?
Text to speech and speech to text is a bit clunky for him to initialize and setup.
He can still type.

Well, the Buddhists are more optimistic than that! They have lots of techniques and ways of thinking to reduce suffering. I recommend reading up on their life philosophy, they’re far from nihilists.

It's been tried. People don't want to use proprietary apps for podcasts. E.G. Spotify podcasts is a failure.
Germany is particularly weird for that. Visiting Germany from the UK or Poland paying for stuff feels like going back in time like 15-20 years.

I have a strong memory of going to a cafe next to my hotel in Berlin and ordering a coffee and being completely shocked I couldn't pay for it by card. I hadn't even considered that I might need cash. After some conversation the nice lady in the cafe told me keep the coffee and to come back the next day with the cash. They really hate card payments for some reason.

On the other hand in Poland I've been unable to use my card in a couple of places because they only take mobile payments/Blik. The contrast is wild.
The documentation puts a lot of emphasis on loading/querying existing files, as that's the first thing you will want to do for a OLAP use-case, but in general it's the same as sqlite where you maintain a database file.

I myself still run a decade old macbook air - with most hardware parts replaced for a second or third time, except the mainboard: On the Ventura with all security fixes instead of Big Sur. Its awesome.

Luckly I went for 8gb and i7 back then. And swapped the NVME with an adapter + vanilla drive, so no pricey upgrades. The computer has 4tb diskspace now ...
So the SAMsung tiers are like this:

S: flagship

A: mid range

M: mostly garbage

I can absolutely use an A as my daily driver, but M I will not touch. And you paid way too much for an M series phone, I would say they are worth $80-100.

Based on that, I can see why they can't give you 7 years of support. Besides, most M series use some unknown Chinese CPU that will never receive any kernel updates after release.
I have a few solutions for this. The 1password CLI, using the macOS keychain through CLI (refer to command ‘security’), and AWS SSM through the AWS CLI tool (for infrastructure secrets).

> VDU5: Sets the output to graphics.

Send a command to the visual display unit to turn off the flashing cursor.

> B=0: Initializes variable B to 0. This variable will be used for brightness calculations.

B is used to propagate quantization error from one pixel to the next - specifically, if we wanted one pixel to be orange, but the closest color we could use was red, then B contains "more yellow needed". In the next pixel, this will be added in to give this pixel more chance of being yellow.

> recursion

There is no recursion here. It's an infinite loop that exits when the raytraced ray fails to hit the floor or a sphere.

> The 4M and 4N are for scaling the coordinates to the screen resolution.

No - this is because early computers didn't have enough memory to store the whole screen image. Therefore there were 'device pixels' and 'logical pixels'. In this mode, each row of pixels is output 4 times into the screen, making each pixel into a group of 16 pixels (4x4).

Drawing commands in BBC basic are done in device pixels, but there is no point in figuring out a color for every device pixel if you can only store 1 in 16 of them..

Didn't check the inner loop since I didn't write that code - but I suspect it has similar accuracy issues.

Everything is a choice. If a mugger has a knife on you, you can choose to let them stab you instead of giving them your money, but we still say they forced you to give them your money.

Because the choice has to be a reasonable alternative. Which in this context is an alternate provider of the product or service that reasonably allows you to reach the same set of your customers.

Probably depends why the content is huge. If it's just a lot of images, maybe, depends on the reader. I'm used to seeing epub files equivalent to self-contained webpages.

At a quick glance I don't see support for media formats like videos and such - in which case the obvious on-disk format is to hope the filesystem can compress text files and to layout a relative links only data-hive.

I did not miss the point, I just don't see why it's relevant. This isn't a thread about Apple's products and their success. The fact that Apple started from KHTML is not really relevant. However, it's clear that at the beginning Google was very dependent on Webkit and Apple, and there's a good reason why it took them five years of gaining development expertise and market share before forking Webkit.

I've already stated that Chrome's success is not just because that it was forked from Webkit (e.g. v8, and other things that people mentioned here as well), but it was a huge jumpstart for them, and it would've taken them much longer to get a leading browser without it. e.g. Microsoft basically gave up on developing their own engine after failing with IE and the original Edge - and are now also based on Chromium.

Chrome is (IMO) much better than Safari, Maps is (IMO) a great product, Youtube is a a huge success and much bigger than it was when they bought it (homegrown Google Video failed), Android was also essentially an acquihire, as others have mentioned (using a lot of Google's resources) and is hugely successful. It doesn't change the fact that most existing Google products today are acquisitions that they improved, and not home-grown products from the "20% do your own thing" era - which is what the original comment talked about.
Indeed, however before the express editions, the only way Visual C++ was available for free, was via piracy.

Naturally depending on the country culture that was hardly a problem, with endless list of software catalogs on street bazaars, but that wasn't what I was refering to.
I would say NO to my child wanting to make a 3D game. It is just too hard and boring for most 9 years old children.

A kid knows what she wants but not what the price that she will have to pay for getting it. Today they are interested in something, tomorrow something else, specially if it is hard work, like 3D. Young children have not the mental abilities to endure hard work. They should be playing and having fun.

When they grow up and have friends and are happy in a healthy enviroment then they can endure healthy hard work later.

Simplicity and immediate feedback is the most important thing for a kid. Forget Unity, Unreal or other environments that require at least a 14 year old and complex rational skills.

I volunteer teaching young children things like 3d printers, mill machines(they can not access dangerous machines until they grow up, but they can design things)... Most children are just going there so they play with their friends. 1 in ten will become an engineer.

I will just use Pico8 or Scratch to focus on the design of the game and SIMPLICITY.
Teach him basic skills like writing and drawing and basic music and sound, and basic programming so they can introduce real life asserts there, in 2D..and specially game design, to design fun games prototypes.

Start doing something basic that is funny in 2D. If he does not loose interest, raise the bar. Since and repeat.

This is like if he wants to be an Orchestra director. You start teaching him the musical notes, having fun with melodies, then harmony...

Games are designed with minimal proof of concepts, that have no textures, sound recorded with the phone, with a basic dynamic of the game. You test that your basic prototype is fun. Only then you add textures and better sounds, or sophistication.

3D modelling, inverse kinematics and Mocap, painting and assigning textures in 3D, it is just so hard and little reward for a kid, with long periods of delayed gratification.
Great, but I hate these leading underscores.
Let's say Apple allows sideloading, but it is somewhat tedious and most users choose to stick to the official App Store [...]

There is no reason that sideloading is tedious. If it is, then that is a deliberierte choice, going from no sideloading to no sideloading that anybody will care to use. Just as Microsoft was forced to suggest alternative browsers to users instead of simply bundling Windows with Internet Explorer and Edge, one could even imagine to force Apple to let the user pick an alternative app store during setup.
Am I missing some joke or wordplay, or are you just a genuine believer who felt God warranted a mention here?

Hello,

I felt deeply moved by your story.

My first born (and only kid) just birthed with a genetic mutation, very random one that may at any point in his life manifest in various degree of danger for his life.

I don't know what tomorrow has for me but your story made me think about this deep fear of one day losing him.

And at the same time I know 100 years ago we wouldn't even have noticed it until too late, at least now we can monitor and try to prevent danger...

Courage to you and your wife. I can't fathom but I can feel sympathy to your situation.
This reads like another "edge lord" or "karma farming "comment. Seems to be more and more frequent here lately.

The point of the forum is that people who are interested in these things can discuss them together openly. People are having discussions about the way they interpret the paper and what they think it means. You seem to be telling those people that's pointless and we should just accept this as a breakthrough because you told us so. Which I think goes against the spirit of this forum and the ability for people to look at the world with an objective lens.

If this work is as good as you say it is, and it very well might be, it will stand on it's own no matter what people say about it. Time will tell if this was meaningful or not.

No, US antitrust law does not allow a single company's product to be considered a relevant market unless very specific criteria are met. Epic attempted to make this very argument in court and failed. "iOS app distribution" is not a valid relevant market for antitrust purposes.

I’m sorry for your situation.

Having gone myself as a 5 year old sibling through something like this I wish to stress this:

Don’t let your other children become chronically mentally ill, send them to the psychotherapist and counselor and do that for years. You can’t imagine the amount of suffering they will have untreated. This is not something that you can just outlive and your children are dependent on you supporting them by giving them support from somebody who actually can support them. The scar of this trauma will run many many years, make them extremely vulnerable and can render them with a full blown disability.

You can prevent this. Don’t let other people who have no idea shame you for seeking help for this.
You can have it your way. Nobody is forcing the alternative on you. Unfortunatly, the masses of people that do not want it that way for now can not.
I sent you an email but it could not be delivered... Give me another address, please.
Dutch debit cards cannot be used for online payments abroad. So the benefit is being able to make payments to, eg: Germany.

Credit cards are terrible. One has to share a few secret numbers with the merchant and the merchant then takes money out of the cards account. It relies on fully trusting every single merchant to have perfect honestly and security.

Plus credit cards have a transaction cost that is paid to foreign companies. It’s quite ridiculous that a Dutch person buying online in Germany ends up paying a tiny transaction cost to a third country.
I appreciate the "service no longer exists" page. But is there any official statement why flattr was closed down?
You're right, but "selling people stuff" is a secondary source of profit. Surveillance too. The truth is, users become profitable far before they ever pull out a credit card, and the goal isn't the credit card, it's the user itself.

To target an ad for a product, you need an interest-based profile on someone. To build that profile, you need data.

To influence public opinion (as has become so popular for politicians and intelligence departments), or if you want to monetize an emotional reaction (like the NRA or PETA) you need a psychological profile, or a way to extrapolate one. Again, data.

To prosecute crimes, you need communications and location data (this is what most would call "surveillance"). Law enforcement (state and federal), private investigators, state departments are all customers for this. The market for this evidence (both what can and can't be used in court is harvested; look up "evidence laundering") is an unending stream of income, for the same reason as all three of these, and here's why:

If you're Meta, or Google, do you want to be performing this psychological profiling, or scanning every message for "incriminating" keywords, or tracking specific users' locations? Absolutely not. That would put your company at fault. So what do you do? You sell the data itself, unspecified, en masse. The FBI approaches you to implement a service that you can query for real-time location data? Hell no, buddy, that'd threaten the whole company! Go do it on your own servers! Pay for the data and compute it yourself! (Or pay for just enough processing to get what you need without us knowing what you're using it for, which is what op's link is about)

And that's exactly what happens: the data itself becomes the product. Then, the goal is to harvest as much data as you possibly can. That's the business model.

Product sales are not the aim. The people are what is sold.
B... y'all are massively out of touch of how your business actually works and I hope you all pay dearly for that. You will. I promise. Count your days but I know you'll just go somewhere else and ruin it there too.

Communication counts for something. You might not know much about that because you see businesses as interchangeable balance sheets rather than a living breathing thing. Your loss. Expect your end.

I really do wish you sad lost puppies find a place to park your increasingly worthless "privilege". Your retro career is melting. What you can coast through: running a business from a high-level perspective. What you can't coast through: actually running your business and digging into the implementation details that directly hit your bottom line and keep your worthless ass afloat. All tech companies are pure implementation details. You'd know this if you bothered to and everyone more successful than you actually has because they can take it and aren't as clueless. Growth by absorbing the old ways of doing things doesn't come from nowhere.

Expect the next wave of more literate employees to push you out. Doesn't matter where they come from. They will. It's already happened at the places bigger than you. Prepare.
