If you have somebody on the team who was able to write a Vulkan rendering engine, then that same person can also easily pop out a Metal port ... just be careful, that person probably never wants to touch Vulkan again afterwards ;)

Otherwise I would expect that the game either uses a library which abstracts away the differences between the system 3D APIs (shameless plug: https://github.com/floooh/sokol, but also BGFX, WebGPU or AFAIK SDL3 is also getting a cross-platform 3D API), or uses a complete game engine like Godot, Unity or Unreal.

> Maintenance is always the time consuming part

This is the only thing that matters, it's not the initial port that's the problem, but the long term maintenance and customer support and that often doesn't make business sense on non-mainstream platforms like Linux or macOS. But a cross-platform 3D API doesn't make any of that easier (you'll still have to struggle with driver bugs for instance, or just plain weird configurations, especially on Linux systems - unless going through Proton which I'm sure works around a ton of compatibility issues and driver bugs under the hood).
>landlords only exist because most people can't afford or aren't eligible for the kind of loan that would allow them to build or buy a house

I rent. Not because I can't afford to buy, but because I'm not convinced that I will stay where I am forever. Maybe in a few years I move to Tarifa to work remotely, maybe I move to China. Today I live in a flat, I don't know it I want to live in this flat forever or buy a house. Today I have good health, maybe tomorrow I don't so I need to change my housing requirements.

I need landlords to invest their money in houses I can rent. The same I need people buying planes so I don't have to buy one to fly. What is adding value for you? To me a landlord that made the investment so I can rent has value enough that I pay for it. If you don't like it, it's fine, but leave the rest of us live and rent in peace.

If being a landlord was so profitable and risk free, we would be drowning in properties for rent. The fact that it doesn't happen, but we have a massive house shortage speaks by itself.
True. I never had a projector before, so there are some naive assumptions i’m making here (like the bigger the font and the further away the screen is, the better for my eyes).

I guess it depends on what you mean by that. Astronauts were trained on the system and it was aboard the shuttle.

Yes it does. It would be the renters primary residence, so it's "Allanamiento de Morada". (Breaking and entering).

Now if the current renter can't afford to keep paying rent and decides to occupy the property, that's considered Okupación. And that process does take longer.

They don’t have to be astronauts in the same way as as the programmer of a word processor does not have to work in office administration. But if said programmer has to write a letter and uses a different word processor you would raise an eye brow.

Hey HN,

building a personal brand on LinkedIn is quite powerful leverage for any person in B2B. And posting consistently is the way to do it.

I always sucked writing posts, though. Took me hours to get something out, only to hear crickets.

Then AI came around, and it was good for a few weeks until I realized how repetitive and bloated the content actually is .

So I spend like the last two years developing and finetuning prompts, gathering training data and finding ways to utilize AI so it gives my copywriting skills, takes the pain out of coming up with ideas and writing but still sounds authentic and like me.

Eventually I turned all of that into this little SaaS. Once Analytics is set up, the AI will be trained in the users tone and voice based on their best performing posts.

Let me know what you think! ;)

> an we establish that the squatters are doing this out of economic necessity and not to "profit"

in some cases yes

but in some cases it's also clearly not the case

and there are likely many ideologically driven cases too

> with no security in an abandoned building with no utilities seems pretty desperate, sub-optimal and sad.

you would think so but I have seen enough cases of people willingly abandon such things in context of ideologically driven life styles (not in Spain, but anyway)

> realistically the root cause to this is lack of housing supply. "Just build more f*ing houses" would fix this no?

no if anything the root cause is the lack of affordable housing, and that is much harder to fix as building housing is expensive so providing affordable housing is much harder then just increasing housing

worse the problem also often isn't affordable housing in general, but affordable housing in the right place e.g. where you can reach your workplace with public transportation or even just something as simple as housing where you can reach a supermarket with the means available to you

and a problem for that is affordable land to build on houses, which is sparse due to two reasons 1. most land is already in use 2. a lot of shitty money economy leading to stuff like land banks and similar, basically a small number of very wealthy entities (not necessary people) have bought a lot of the land and housing (directly or through proxy) and have absolutely no reason or insensitive to provide reasonable affordable housing. In some cases they don't even have the insensitive to use the land housing at all, i.e. they would prefer to not rent the apartments they own and just keep them around as monetary investment.

In general this isn't a Spanish problem it's a problem in most (all?) countries which have a banking/investment/money market roughly similar to the US when it comes to property. Sure each country has their own country specific problems on top of it (e.g. zoning laws in the US) but the problem by itself is much more deep rooted. And if you want to starkly oversimplify it the problem points back to a few siphoning of the wealth of the many in increasingly sophisticated ways. As long as the many generate enough new wealth this can work (like during economic boom times) but that hasn't been the case for a long time with especially "small family cooperation becoming increasingly economically impossible" playing a big role. At the same time we where for a long time able through technologically advancement (or producing in china) to still keep a high living standard and most of the basic needs for many people covered. So the consequences where limited. But that doesn't help with apartments especially given of property ownership has become a really nice and desired way to keep money somewhat save during turbulent times which combined with speculative investment in housing has driving prices up beyond what would normally have happened in many regions in the world.

One of the manifesto items criticized is "Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation". I am reminded that, while the OSI produced a very comprehensive 7-layer model of how networking should work, the IETF produced the TCP/IP stack (among many other things).
The problem with GC for a game engine is not just plain performance... but it's when you're trying to bind engine objects to the scripting language. From the scripting side you're dealing with GC-like semantics (where object deletion can be deferred indefinitely), but the C++-engine side objects need to adhere to C++ object semantics (whether that be manual / RAII / reference counting). This gap between the two can lead to some "interesting" engine decisions: for example in Unity they have a separate UnityEngine.Object base type separate from the C# runtime System.Object type, which have very different semantics and thus lead to some funny headaches! Note that Godot's scripting language (GDScript) doesn't use GC and instead just uses reference counting implemented in plain C++, and thus were able to unify the object behavior between C++ and the scripting layer.

An alternative approach for supporting GC in your game engine, would be to extend C++ on the engine-side to support GC with some black magic (aka Unreal's approach with UObject). But that requires adding an additional hacky transpiler / reflection system on top of C++... which I think has been mostly a net negative in terms of usability (if you've tried using Unreal you'll quickly get what I mean...)
Unfortunately, programming computers is not a performance art.
Then that is your fault and it is on you.

The biggest problem of Agile is that there is no budget for minor refactoring. Refactoring becomes a massive effort to either account for the time or substantiate the changes administratively at sacrifice to some business priority.

At that point any refactor is the automotive equivalent of a recall. That’s unfortunate because when the right processes are in place enormous refactors on even large applications can be an effort shorter than a sprint planning meeting.
The simpest AVR programer, widely used in ex-USSR was called "5 wires" and consisted of 5 wires, ic-socket and 25 pin connector for the parallel port.
For base 2/16 this is pretty easy if you use assembly, because most ISAs have instructions to count the leading zeros, so for eg. aarch64 to get length of hex integer (assuming you're not trying to do anything weird like signed hex - negative numbers will always be max width this way):

hlen:
// int hlen(uint64_t x)
// takes an integer, returns length of hex string
mov x9, #16 // max width
clz x0, x0 // count binary leading zeros
cmp x0, #64
lsr x0, x0, #2 // 4 bits per hex digit
sub x0, x9, x0
cinc x0, x0, eq // if num = 0, add 1
ret

Decimal requires looping (well, only ~20 comparisons needed for 64-bit so maybe that could be unrolled but same thing either way), so it's simpler to just use high level.

With ULA you generate a random prefix which means it's extremely unlikely there's a collision. So no need for internal NATing or interface disambiguation because a machine is connected to two networks (e.g. via tunnels) that are both using 192.168.0.0/24. Which also means less book-keeping for collision avoidance. Just roll the dice.

This is different because it's not about espionage. The NSA can do tons of stuff that normal police forces can only dream about.

No, not for your primary residence. You can report that anytime and they will act immediately.
Since it's talking about putting requirements first - arguably if it's possible or easy for a project to have all the specs immediately ready, it is also likely an easier project that has been solved many times in the past.

There are projects for which you can't know everything ahead of time and you need to iterate and seek customer feedback. These are likely more innovative projects, and of course more risky and more likely to fail.

> SLS cost way, way more then $1 billion per launch. More like 4 billion $ per launch.

So, the full stack of SLS costs $4.1B. But that includes the cost of Orion which is ~$1.3B when you include the European Service Module, and it includes the cost of 1 year's worth of ground support equipment including upkeep for various buildings like the VAB, etc.

The marginal cost of a cargo SLS (should one ever launch, which is looking increasingly unlikely) is a bit over $2B. Which is still a horrifically high price.

For people who don't know much about SLS, one way to put its cost into context is, every time the full stack with Orion launches, that's about 1/6th of NASA's yearly budget. And that doesn't count any development cost which is several tens of Billions.

Basically the TPM provides a set of features that are really useful for corporate Windows deployments. No more forgotten passwords, because the self-unlocking disk encryption sends the user straight to the Windows login screen, and helpdesk can reset forgotten Windows passwords remotely.

And for casual home Windows users, it lets them log in with a 4-digit PIN or with biometrics, so it's got usability benefits for them too. If every OS now needs Microsoft's signature of approval, or a really fiddly setup process? Well they were running Windows anyway, so no problem.

These usability/support benefits rely on self-unlocking disk encryption, which is vulnerable to sniffing if someone gets a stolen laptop on ebay.

For the kind of technically sophisticated, security enthusiast users who comment on blog posts about TPMs? We're more than happy to key in a strong unique password at every boot, and if we forget the password and lose access to everything on that disk that's just the system working as it's supposed to.

For us, the benefits of TPMs and measured boot for personal use are a lot more obscure. You'll sometimes hear people claim it protects against 'evil maid attacks' where an attacker repeatedly gets physical access to your laptop. The truth is it provides no such protection.
