> I just don't get this obsession with the idea that only recently-released "AAA" games are real games

It's really the opposite; I think obsessing over casual markets is a mistake since casual gaming customers are incidental. These are people playing the lowest-common-denominator, ad-ridden, microtransaction-laden apps that fill out the App Store, not Halo 2 or Space Cadet Pinball. It really doesn't matter when the games came out, because the market is always separated by more than just third-party ambivalence. Apple loves this unconscious traffic, because they will buy any garbage they put in front of them. Let them be gorged on Honkai Star Rail, while Apple counts 30% of their expenses on digital vice.

Again, I think it's less of a distinction between "true" and "casual" gamers, but more what their OEM encourages them to play. When you owned feature phones, it was shitty Java applets. Now that you own an iPhone... it's basically the same thing with a shinier UI and larger buttons to enter your credit card details.

I'll just say it; Apple's runtime has to play catch-up with stuff like the Steam Deck and even modern game consoles. The current piecemeal porting attempts are pathetic compared to businesses a fraction their size. Even Nvidia got more people to port to the Shield TV, and that was a failure from the start.
Do you think tight money leads to people retiring early? I assure you, having been alive in 2008, it does not.
For better or worse, H1N1 is monumentally lethal, an order of magnitude past the worst of COVID. People who don't have a taste for masks and new vaccines will simply die, in a way we didn't see for COVID.

Having said all of that, in the absence of strong evidence for human-human transmission, this should not keep you up at night.
Frankly after experiencing Covid hair loss and talking with other folks who got mild covid but 3 months later experienced the same nightmare scenario I would happily isolate. Balding sucks.
The biggest reason I use FreeTube (https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube), is because it shows me uploads in chronological order from ALL of my channels, which youtube outright refuses to do.

Pulling out of expanding the supercharger network is genuinely surprising to me. I’ve seen the supercharger network to be the equivalent of oil for Tesla, except they would have massive first mover advantages in being the oil suppliers.
That has more to do with Silverlake capital preferring steady, regular cash flows. They like to buy up and hold and just run things like a normal business, no MBA shenanigans.
Well, I've not seen one so for what I know it might be a complete mischaracterization anyway :)

In this context (the idea of making this unethical), a brand is built on investor money (not profits) and then later profits are achieved by cashing out the brand value.

But I'm guessing you knew that and disagree. Care to be more forthright?
I love the look of the Casio World Time with some of the screen color filter mods. Those are quite inexpensive if you're willing to install them yourself.
Feels like your prior should be that there has always been more crossover than was caught by testing? Obviously this shouldn't be a reason to dismiss concerns, but I don't know that jumping to dramatic language is appropriate, either?
There's also libraries like trafilatura in Python featured here in HN some time ago that could extract content from websites to help augment the data.
Not a single commenter read the white paper (I recommend they do - the CSIS is THE source on Militsry doctrine and policy for the US).

Leaving aside foreign assistance from the US and EU, Russia was always a large economy that always had the ability to be somewhat self sufficient - they've been a trillion dollar economy since 2007.

The War in Ukraine started in 2014, not 2022. Russia has been under a fairly heavy sanctions regime since 2015, and as such was able to retool the economy to be increasingly self sufficient before 2022.

Life ofc sucks day-to-day (eg. Hard to buy video games or a new iPhone, it's expensive to vacation in places like Turkey or Egypt or impossible to vacation in much of Europe now) but consumer substitutes already exist that are "good enough".

Furthermore, the Russian brain drain was largely in the private sector - not the public sector. Most Russian civil servants (eg. Central Bank economists, petroleum engineers for SoEs) knew they wouldn't be able to land a well paying job in the West due to hiring restrictions on Russian nationals as well as potential ramifications on their family in Russia, so they decided to stay put [0].

Finally, much of the world has caught up technologically to where the US was in the 1990s or 2000s, so the kinds of intermediate parts needed for missles or EWS are fairly democratized - just like the US, Russia is able to import commoditized or generic components from SEA, Turkey, China, India, UAE, etc.

The secondary sanctions enforcement is what will tamp down on Russian output.

Interesting read.

Is there a case for KYC versions of platforms? Maybe platform knows who you are, but you can remain anonymous "outwards"?

If someone thinks that building bombs or killing via pollution is evidence for homicide, they are making a gross category error. The former has very little bearing on the latter.

Great to see cool stuff being built on top of HN data! Many of us rely on this platform as one of the primary sources of information.

In the area of programming languages and compilers, we usually have trees without parent links, with substructure sharing, which are DAGs. We call them trees because most of the code operating on them thinks they are.

E.g. the Lisp expression (+ a (* b b)), informally called a syntax tree, is actually a DAG. Both apparent instances of the b symbol are actually graph edges leading to the same symbol object. Moreover, nothing points to its parent; that would be horrible.

Other kinds of trees don't always have parent pointers. For instance search trees like red-black can be implemented with parent pointers, or without; e.g. with functional recursion.
If you are a large company owning hundreds of thousands of them and knowing you will have disk failures regardless, maybe. If you own just a few hundreds and a failure costs you money the logic may be completely different.
The biggest problem with housing the USA is largely local zoning that artificially limits what can be built. Cities that have minimal zoning such as Houston, Texas have rents that have closely followed inflation only. In Houston there is literally no zoning. While this has some bad side effects in terms of ugliness it is highly affordable.
Some progressive US cities, such as Minneapolis and Austin, are now liberalizing zoning to allow much more dense housing to be built in central areas long mass transit.
The new part is the lack of shame. Nobody is withdrawing stories that have been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have been incorrect. The transition from professional to propagandist has meant that admitting mistakes isn't a point of pride, but a point of weakness.

They just move on, and act like the thing that they were haranguing the country about 24 hours a day last year is old news that you should get over in order to pay attention to the new thing that they demand you trust them about but offer no evidence or argument for, other than "anonymous administration officials", quotes from politicians and ex-generals, statements from lobbyists, and insane-sounding spokespeople for nonprofits indirectly funded by the government or entities that have a direct interest in the outcome.

edit: The NYT has always been somewhat of an exception to this, because they actually did think of themselves as "the" newspaper of record, and know that they will be graded retroactively on actual lies. But the only person punished for Iraq was Judith Miller. The lesson was that there are no consequences for lying continuously, the consequences come from admitting it.
Your advice is useful in a social context - friends and colleagues are all in different life circumstances.

The Fed and other central banks can see aggregate asset values, productivity, and spending in the economy. Lots of money is being spent by the wealthy.

You can recreate this sensation in the real world by interacting with airlines. Well, at least from the POV of your backpack.

Silliness aside, I have the same problem and probably need to, yet again, beat my head against FORTH, preferably with an interpreter that somehow shows me the stack as it goes. Or maybe factor-lang instead on the grounds that it's higher level and also that I can escape to lexical variables when completely stuck.

For a rather loose definition of "most". Depends on type of building and when they were built or renovated.
> There is absolutely no reason apple should receive a single cent if you're publishing outside of their store

This is a really bad take.

People do not merely pay for the rearrangement of atoms into what ends up being their phone.

The software is critical and deserves all the money earned to make it happen. Apple still stands up all those servers, engineers, and operations for apps priced at $0 -- at min-cost to the developer (before you start: no, $99/year covers zilch; $99/year is a mode of spam prevention dev account creation).

It is unreasonable, nefarious, and even grand theft for anybody to make money on the phones and refuse to pay for the services that made it possible: the software engineering into Swift, Xcode, CoreOS, Darwin, FoundationDB, Data Centers, the engineers on on-call rotations, and who knows whatever else. All those things don't come for free. App developers who make money off the ecosystem should be held account to pay up.
By the numbers I think only the best programmers, which is a small minority, should consider NIH. Everyone else should use off the shelf as much as possible.

Since the best software is written by the best programmers, those of us interested in the best software, and have the capability to make such software, should be free to do NIH on an as needed basis.
> Really why some people believe that all the content of Internet must be attuned to their personal quirks?

I read the OP as constructive feedback not an attack. I also think that their advice is practically bog standard writing advice not a personality quirk.

I would also suggest that you might look in the mirror at your own comment when accusing someone of imposing their personality quirks on someone else.
Red Lobster is at the same level as Olive Garden.

"Something?". Having them inhale oil or dirt will do it. Pneumonia is usually caused by a bacteria that's just everywhere (though usually on the skin), that's too simple. If it starts growing in your lungs, you can try antibiotics. If that doesn't work, well, nice knowing you.

We are surrounded by lethal bacteria. That humans survive depends on the immune system having a 100% success rate preventing bacteria from forming even a small colony in the lungs (and several other places, like the teeth, where infections can rapidly and surprisingly turn deadly)

This is why people cough so extremely hard when inhaling solid or liquid stuff in their windpipes.

Also this happens all the time. That someone dies from pneumonia is not uncommon (though for oil it's usually someone who manages to spray themselves with aerosolized oil at work). So even if an autopsy found a few specs of dirt in the lungs, and even if they actually trace that to be the cause, that's not extremely suspicious. (Plus why would they check? Obviously with a pneumonia patient you know the cause of death)

Love the attention to detail and particularly the end-to-end nature of this project. You even went as far to include gitlab. I’m on my lunch break but does gitlab use the object store for your pipeline artifacts (docker images, python packages, etc)?
Wash your hands when you get home! Try not to touch your face.

I use a mask when I go out because my wife has health issues that would complicate any colds etc. It's really nice to not have to deal with several colds a year.

Masks became political. I've had some double-takes in a couple of stores, but mostly people have ignored my mask wearing. Thankfully the grocery store I frequent serves an aging population who are far more likely to wear masks now.

I know that some, probably even in this thread, will swear that masks are useless. I know you know that, you're not going to convince me and I'm not going to convince you. Can we skip the arguing and try to reach common ground?
What, you don't like the full screen modal ads in the app for new and irrelevant music? The pointless stock video loops? Value, baby!
That's literally all the Bolsheviks (political left) indulged in and it aided them in committing one of the worst atrocities ever, if not the worst.

And, yes, the political left is demonstrably still participating.
The risk of dying from covid was probably less than 1% for a healthy adult and it's around 60-70% when it comes to the bird flu. So people will naturally take this much more serious if it starts to spread among humans.
get into politics. the decisions are made via handshakes and sold using data
This happened to a local sports-bar chain around us. It was always decent and our first choice for family nights out, but after Covid it went downhill, locations closed, and the last location close by just started falling flat... empty even at busy periods, no wait staff, declining quality, etc. It just up and closed shortly after.

Lately for pizza I've only been ordering from Dominoes, mostly because it's sort of cheap but also consistent.

Not fantastic, not bad, but always pretty good.

I hope they keep up with it, whenever I go in they always appear fully staffed and in good spirits.

For what it's worth, a friend of mine is a lawyer in a well-known hedge fund and he gets access to their funds too (funds that would not otherwise be accessible without making a substantially larger investment I believe).
I retired three years ago at the age of 49. I was rather successful as a software engineer and is content with what I achieved. My response to your thoughts.

1) I have not missed work at all for the last three years. Not a single day. I have not done any programming since I retired. Instead I spend my time on other hobbies and travelling. I try to take two week-long trips every month to new locations. That is plenty meaningful for me. I have nothing to prove, I already did that. My job now is to see the world while I still can.

2) Initially it was daunting to start living on savings / investments. Especially with an initial ~20% market correction and high inflation. However I am spending less than I expected, only around 2% withdrawal rate and I could reduce that by almost 50% if needed and still live rather comfortably.

3) Financial independence is nice. But you also have to spend the money, while you still can.
I've been a freelance dev for a couple years now and found that the most frustrating part by far is looking through hundreds (thousands?) of freelance postings, applying, and negotiating terms with clients. It sucks, and often leads to burnout / feeling like why am I wasting my time.

I wanted to build something that helps, so I created Dev List. Every week I go through all freelance postings on the internet (I actually read/skim through them, not web scraping), and find the best ones.

I started this 1-2 months ago and already have over 1000 subscribers. Check it out
I love projects like this. It shows the true potential of what LLMs and RAG can unlock. Imagine applying the same method on the actual content within the threads and extract the sentiment, as well as summarize the key points of a particular thread -- the options are limitless.

My only piece of advice, though: try to do the reranking using some other rerankers instead of an LLM -- you'll save both on the latency AND the cost.

Other than that, good job.
Most people are not like you - and I do not think we have sufficient causal evidence on a lot of these post-covid sequelae yet.
Sometimes it's just timing and/or luck. Think of some TV show that was big say 10 years ago, would it do the same today? Maybe. Maybe not.

Product + Marketing + Timing + Luck = Maybe Successful

The thing is, there's no VP of Timing. There's also no VP of Luck. These factors are ignored because there's no one to champion them. Yet they are very real.

It's not at all what you're asking for, but when I last transferred away from Vault I ended up landing on 1Password.

There are still some rough edges but it's been a decent secret store for my small team doing mostly Docker Compose/bare metal stuff.

Yes, of course. I think I was suggesting that "awareness" and "consciousness" could be considered to be synonyms. If that's correct, then you can't use self-awareness as evidence of consciousness, because it begs the question (i.e. circular reasoning).
If we learned anything from covid, it should be that you cannot trust these early mortality numbers because they are biased by the fact that we definitely test people who are dying of a disease but don't test those who are just a little sick.

Covid turned out to be 1% fatal in the early days - which is awful. But the early numbers were ~5-10%

In the grand scheme of things, expecting your name and email address to really stay private is not all that reasonable. You probably gave them to the person who then used Dropbox Sign to send you a document. If you were really worried you could have used a throwaway account. The old saying is, once you tell someone, it's no longer a secret.
Can someone knowledgeable help me understand why we can have at-home Covid tests, we probably know the genetic blueprint of this strain of flu, but we can't make at-home bird-flu tests?
I'm surprised to hear that. I have never read Applied Cryptography, but I find that an incredibly damning simile (though maybe it wasn't intended to be?). Didn't Schneier develop Blowfish?

These calculations do not commit you to a course. They are statistical reassurance. You can and should remain aware that you can course correct. For example, California weather and your friends might be your preference in San Francisco, but you can still fall back to something far less expensive.
