> It's absolutely worthwhile to cover highly public calls to violence of government officials by respected individuals with lots of power

I mean, sure...who are you arguing with? I didn't say nobody should cover this. I said this article is terrible.

> But denying that public calls to violence spurs actual violence is denial of basic cause and effect.

Yeah, except we have laws around this concept, and even if what you're saying were true in the US (it isn't, thankfully), it doesn't magicaly make hack journalism good.

Said differently, "incitement to violence" doesn't mean that missionlocal is high-minded and mature for spending two articles talking about the price of his liquor.
Many environments also include native virtual display support so you don't even always need a special VNC server. On Linux projects like that tend to just automate it but sometimes it's pretty easily to do manually. E.g. on Sway you just define the virtual display the exact same manner as you do a physical display and then VNC in to only that display. On other operating systems like if it was running native macOS projects tend to do more of the heavy lifting around making the virtual displays actually happen.
> Wait, are you saying email is reinventing the wheel that is GitLab etc

Bolting a million custom tools around email to force it to do something it was never meant to do is reinventing the wheel, yes.

> Projects develop workflows and common tooling like forges for practical reasons. But you, as an individual, shouldn't be tied to any one of them.

Yes, and very very few of them prefer arcane workflows such as patches over email. Some highly critical ones like the Linux kernel do, but the vast vast vast majority of products use well oiled machines like GitHub, GitLab, Gogs, Gitea, etc.
I dont agree.

So because some un-self-aware rich a hole says something offensive we should censor, restrict the free speech of the general populous?

It's not the enablement of communication that's the problem here. It's a simple case of fault. He is as fault for his actions, not social media.
Aww, the STT seems to fail with this error in console https://snipboard.io/qm6KuB.jpg

This is like saying Boeing is smarter about politics because they can afford to buy off every ex-staffer in DC.
I think you are too eager to decide that the article is scummy.

For me, those two paragraphs do not say that Tan was antisemetic in any form. It says that

i) some of the same people received an antisemitic hate letters before

ii) those antisemetic letters used the same wording than the ones sent using Tan’s face

The only implication that I see is that they were likely sent by the same person/group. I see this is very clear in the writing as it is. Zero scummyness in it.

And, this connection, in my opinion, very much justifies including the antisemetic letters in the article. It seems a very relevant information.
I do too. That's why I've refused to use the kits I've been gifted... I assumed the fallback here was to build up a cache of data to sell.

I'd be nice if they could be prevented from doing that, possibly by the court system.
Familiarize yourself with the lyric he quoted.
Silicon Valley is fun that way - tons of smart people who’s eyes slowly shift out of focus and minds slip into a stupor when confronted with their participation in helping the most horrible people alive ruin the world.

True. We've probably forgotten with the employment market having been strong for a long time, leaving employers desperate to accept anyone they can get, but back in the day degree holders were often rejected because of their degree too. "Overqualified", as employers liked to put it. In other words, "Your flashy 'car' doesn't impress me."

But either way, the takeaway is clear: If you are the worker, you don't want to get caught playing that game. You will lose in the end.
You find somebody who already did it and interrogate them about path-optimization until they are sick of you (what to learn in what order, what books, etc.)
Increasing pixel count increases processing in all image gen im aware of.

I guess my question is more about why the tradeoff to higher resolutions is taken when resolution is clearly not a limiting factor for displaying something that looks real.

Aside from stylistic choices on look.

I think increasing fps does make something look more real. I wasn't really talking about "film look" related to 24 fps

There's a scale and on one end is the real world and the other is pong or something. I would put 640x480 camera captured images closer to real life than any game I've seen.

At a minimum, more processing sells more hardware

Thoughtless perhaps, but I don't think this is enough to indicate arseholery. People often get very emotional about things and rant about people while still doing good things and behaving in an exemplary fashion most of the time.
Having a mentor + immersion is best if possible. Theory or artificial exercises are hard to wrap your head around, learning by doing is a lot quicker, and it also becomes clear which part exactly you need to become an expert at and why. Most people don't need to know everything about everything, just fulfill their unique needs.
Surely the takeaway here is "death threats bad", not "death threats good"?
"almost all" is very speculative term. What is "almost all" of natural numbers for example?..
Dive into sample projects! In 2019 I began a shift that has taken me roughly that "2.28 years" worth of time outside of my other responsibilities/activities- Unless you stop everything else that is probably super hard to compress down further... i do like sleep tho...

I often feel like Im moving too slow, but have zero bandwidth to allocate further. My first milestone is either a profitable side project or job transition, which ever happens first. Im close.

well to be fair, the Mission Local story from 3 days ago about Tan tweeting Tupac lyrics, was posted 3 days ago and flagged 3 days ago.

This story's lede is several San Francisco Board Of Supervisors members receiving post cards quoting Garry Tan's words.

Different story.
Yes. Ive had several corporate trainings from several big big companies where they explicitly say so.

I had one training even state outright that if you were seen on social media wearing company swag and doing something like flipping the bird or anything even mildly offensive that was grounds for dismissal.

What does this even mean? Nobody was prevented from making a game; you are just describing the market dynamics of the previous human configuration, which of course are going to change along with the rest of this evolution.

And in any case, it's a great time to be a gamer! So many awesome indy games every day.

> And I think the last thing Music needs is even more artists putting out more generated much into the store.

I mean... I look forward to other people making generated music, and who knows, maybe I'll give it a shot someday. How does it prevent you and I from making the music that speaks to us?
The first two are at least going to be on reasonable communications.
Standing on a podium shouting "A,B and C should die!" to your audience should be a crime, and luckily is in many countries.

> donate to campaigns or personally run against them

Neither of these do much, honestly. The government already steals enough of my money, I'm not handing them more. And as a silicon valley nerd I'm not going to attract votes by personally running.

But yeah, wishing death is immature.
Both Materialize and RisingWave are written in Rust and provide compatible SQL interface as Postgres. The user experience is more close to traditional database.

Proton is written in C++, adding streaming processing to ClickHouse and make stream the main concept. It is designed to support streaming analytics where aggregating large number of data over time is the focus.

In geneneral, these three are very similar.
It is admirable that Gary Tan loves his home in SF so much. And that he is engaged into making SF better. But SF, getting wasted, engaging into politics is not SV.

Wish we could disentangle flies from sausages and move YC office back to Mountain View, where it belongs.
There are three main pillars to it. Vessels moving goods between US ports need to be:

1. US flagged and owned
2. US crewed
3. US built.

I genuinely agree with the first two points. Most container ships sail under flags of convenience (so that they can minimize regulations in terms of conduct/the environment/etc) and with crews from developing nations that they abuse and treat as indentured servants.

Do you want to allow US domestic shipping to be done by entities over which the US has negligible regulatory control? I don’t!

The third is intended (along with the other 2) to ensure that the US maintains strategically important maritime capabilities, to retain the ability to build and crew a merchant marine. Personally I think this is a less compelling case than the regulation case, but I don’t think it’s totally without merit.

I think the idea that this is responsible for the high cost of goods in Hawaii and Puerto Rico is basically not credible, because it doesn’t prevent those ports being included in import sailings. You could make a case that it makes those places less competitive as manufacturers of goods for export to the rest of the US, but if you think that the jones act is the major reason Hawaii isn’t a manufacturing hub… idk what to tell you.

I think the other reality is that even if you like (1) and (2) but not (3) it’s hard to break it apart because the jones act unites concerns over the ability to regulate with concerns over strategic readiness, which creates a coalition to maintain it that would potentially break otherwise.
That quote didn't come out of Intel's mouth.
I wouldn't try for 10000 hours of anything anymore - life is too short. You can generally be good enough with many skills in a much shorter time.

This book was recommended to me a couple years ago: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_First_20_Hours/zM-L...

It has some guidelines and examples of how to go about getting 'good enough' with different skills in 20 hours to feel ... if not confident, at least comfortable in knowing what you don't yet know and how to get better.
In that tweet, he did not.
If I did this, I wouldn't be out of a job.

Which of us is right? Maybe both (corporate culture can be pretty heterogeneous). Hard to say, regardless
Depends on the period of life I presume.

You might make a lot of money, but if you're a young adult, you might still need to buy a car, a house, get kids, etc. All of which cost a lot of money, to a point where you might not be able to save much.
Who should be the next YC CEO?
These people all have a lot of money and they all try to use it to influence politics, so if Benioff is so much more successful, maybe there's actually something to learn from him, such as, maybe, not wishing death on people.
Dan is quite friendly, so I'd recommend emailing hn@ycombinator.com and suggest it. I'd guess the odds are high since gitlab.com links appear to behave the same way as github so there's precedent
Do you want to work for a company where this kind of volatility is an investor?
I believe under HIPAA, you have the right to access any of your medical data. If you really want your data, I would get a lawyer to write a nasty letter to them demanding it.
Yes, and they also are famously in silos. They each advocate for their own districts only, and so it's often a battle between districts for resources, etc. It's actually a pretty dysfunctional system from what I've seen attending local government meetings and trying to get basic simple things done in my community

It's not to proof-read it, it's to make sure it's not going to damage the company.

Everyone has opinions that would get them cancelled on Twitter. Most of us are sensible enough to keep them to ourselves, or, at least, off Twitter, without even having the responsibility to maintain the image of a business. He has a duty to his employees, his clients, and his investors that goes far beyond the standard duty of "Don't be an asshole on Twitter."

Political hyperbole is also kind of the norm on Twitter (which is one of many reasons I don't spend much time there), so it's entirely possible he thought he was being humorous, and that it was abundantly obvious that he shouldn't be taken literally. Which might even be true. But CEOs are at extra risk of getting taken out of context and willfully misinterpreted, and they should fucking Tweet like it.

I disagree with what he said, but I'm more insulted that the people are allowed such insane levels of power and responsibility and are given such disproportionate compensation have the common sense of a middle-schooler.
Ask HN: Managing Myopia as a Developer
How do you manage myopia with 8+ hours of screen time a day?

Especially in a confined space (small homes in Europe, or offices) with no views to infinity.

Any special lenses to simulate distance like rendering the computer as a TV screen across a living room? Or a distance box (containing a photograph and stimulated at 20m distance) like at the optometrists' eye test.

Has anyone tried Endmyopia?
I am conflicted on this because I like to speak my mind. Having said that, I am a nobody so usually no one cares. My wife always tells me "It's not the what but the how you say it". Gary being such a popular figure probably should have worded it better. However, I do worry that there is too much criticism these days when someone speaks their mind.

EDIT: I see people making a fair point about "too much criticism" as it sort of contradicts what I said about "speak my mind". I guess my worry is not about free speech or other people just criticizing but more of the woke crowd that just wants to cancel you because they disagree. I should have clarified that in initial comment.
I'd also question how realistically anyone can estimate the number of parking spots that exist nationally, but regardless, parking space isn't exactly an elastic resource. To be able to meet peak demand, you have to overprovision, and peak demand isn't evenly spread out, so it's not like any particular neighborhood or business can just compute what percentage of land area they take up in a city and multiply that by the number of cars registered in that city. Roads are the same way for the same reason. There is far more available road area than could be taken up by all cars in the world even if they were all driving at the same time.

Even in residential areas, the rise of AirBNB is causing an accordion effect in parking availability, at least in my neighborhood. I live downtown in a place that doesn't have much in the way of garage space or driveways so the streets are heavily used for parking and there is enough space generally speaking for everyone who lives here, but come weekends and event times now that so many condos have become temporary party houses people rent so they can trash, this floods the streets with cars from out of the area and suddenly the people who actually live here have nowhere to park.
The City and County of San Francisco has a unique unitary government, where the citizens in my experience think of the supervisors as city supervisors, not county supervisors, even if both or either might be technically accurate.
Ford Announces Free Tesla SuperCharger Adapters
Aviation has an extremely strong safety record, which has been getting better year by year.

Yes, there are misses, but they have been happening increasingly less frequently over time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_safety#/media/File:Fa...

Aviation isn't perfect; nothing implemented by large groups of fallible humans with budget constraints will be. But it has one of the best safety track records of any industry.

Now, why won't aviation style engineering be applied in other fields, like databases? Well, because no one really cares enough. No one dies if some random database used by some ad platform loses the occasional transaction. Yeah, it's frustrating to engineers who are trying to build reliable systems, but in the grand scheme of things losing a few percent of transactions isn't the end of the world for most businesses.

You get safety cultures like that in aviation because there are real, substantial risks, so you need to have thorough engineering discipline, properly designed redundancy, etc.

For databases that are used for the majority of the business world, efficiency is generally a bigger concern than correctness; they'd rather have cheap and fast databases that lose a few transactions occasionally than something that actually provides consistency. But of course everyone thinks they need consistency, so it's advertised as a selling point while not actually being provided in practice.
“Drunken words are sober thoughts.”
I think the way patio11 writes about poor people comes off more classist than if he just called them shiftless criminals instead of repeatedly being extremely overtly nice about them while also saying they can't do anything right, can't interact with any bureaucracy successfully and don't know how to cook.

Besides that, I don't think they actually eat at McDonald's much. Their relationship with fast food is that they work there.
Would this even be an issue if ICANN hadn't gone rogue years ago, and started minting new TLD's as if they had a license to print money?
No, just the ones you are likely to hear about on the news. Take a look at the top 10 richest Americans, most spend very little time on politics and you'll often struggle to even find out their opinions of the issues of the day.
The fix is to change things like this:

targetEndDate = new Date();
targetEndDate.setFullYear( endDate.getFullYear() );
targetEndDate.setMonth( endDate.getMonth() );
targetEndDate.setDate( endDate.getDate() );

to

targetEndDate = new Date();
targetEndDate.setFullYear(
endDate.getFullYear(),
endDate.getMonth(),
endDate.getDate());

That works because setFullYear has a three argument form that takes the year, month, and date avoiding the inconsistency that can arise by setting those one at a time.

But you know what else has a three argument for that take the year, month, and date? The Date constructor.

So why not fix it like this?

targetEndDate = new Date(
endDate.getFullYear(),
endDate.getMonth(),
endDate.getDate());

Using the empty constructor would initial the object with the current date and time, but they promptly overwrite those.

The Date construction also has a form that takes another Date object, so I wonder if they could have simple used:

targetEndDate = new Date(endDate);
No, but we have over 2000 years of cited, verified, and documented hate and horrific actions towards Jews because they are Jews.

This does have to be included as a possible contributing factor to this death threat.

(There's 2 types of bigots: one type will plainly use terrible language up front to let everyone know what they think. The other type will couch their hate in plausible deniable language so you're really not 100% sure.)
I don’t know how Sketch compares on the collaboration front, but I still use it a lot personally for three reasons:

- It still has a one-time/annual purchase option available

- It’s still offline-first, with a fully first-party-documented file format[0] (no lock-in)

- It’s suited well for screen-destined vector graphics creation, whereas Figma has a strong prototyping bent to it

I don't accept the subjectivity w.r.t. "perceived reality". Russia's military unreadiness was one of the big reasons I consider the invasion irrational, and I put the blame squarely on Putin because he could have gotten accurate reports if he wasn't such a bad leader. You are responsible for your perceived reality, and part of rationality is acting in a way that it matches real reality.

(But yeah, clearly his actual goal was to increase his personal prestige. Is that not common knowledge yet?)

Whether it has this problem or not seems to really depend on how they use “OnEyesOver” events in practice.
I would do I everything I could to connect with others pursuing that same goal with the hope being that by working together we could increase everyone's chances of success.

Becoming an expert in anything is going to be full of challenging days where you question why you're doing this, just want to give up, get distracted, etc. Having others to lean on (and be leaned on) can help get everyone through those challenges. Additionally, knowing you're part of a group may give you some sense of responsibility do you won't be as likely to slack off.

Lastly, in my opinion, working with others and building friendships along the way makes the entire journey more fun.
I thought it was a bad idea when I first read of it. It reminded me of Intel's Netburst (Pentium 4) architecture.

Yes, but the artists salaries are typically insufficient to actually support their lives. Hollywood exists because enough people are excited enough by the idea of working for Hollywood that they're willing to accept fairly subpar working conditions and pay to get a chance to do what they love. Art is almost universally subject to a "passion tax".
