Show HN: I Simplified Image Cutting with a New Tool
When I needed to cut my images, I used tools like Adobe Photoshop, which are very complicated for beginners.

That's why I decided to create a tool specifically for this function, and it's 100% free.
The reason is invariably that men dominated game development for decades. Your only market was selling to other masculine-identifying customers, if you didn't in some way pander to male obsessions then you'd usually struggle to find a market.

Then gaming got popular, and people didn't know what customers wanted. First the PS2 sold well because it played Blu-ray and everyone wanted something to watch their Adam Sandler flicks on and maybe play Ridge Racer occasionally. Then the Wii had a ballistic sales trajectory, and the gaming market changed forever. Along with the advent of smartphones, "casual" gaming became the norm and less masculine obsessive titles got funded. For the first time perhaps in the history of gaming, you can make more money targeting a more inclusive audience from the start. This was confirmed by a number of breakout indie successes that showed you can substitute a ridiculous budget for a concise story with broad appeal (eg. Undertale or Five Nights at Freddy's).

Of course, men look at this and just want Quake 5 and Fallout 78. I empathize with that perspective, but I know a lot of people who also feel like "non-woke" games suck now too. Unless your game is so blatantly offensive that it crosses into parody again (eg. Wolvenstein or C&C Red Alert), you can't really make a non-woke game nowadays without looking like a moron. Even that hyper-masculine DOOM reboot is tonally incapable of coming to terms with a silent protagonist that has the charisma of a sack of flour.
Bash has a thousand pitfalls, and as you accumulate layers of scripting they start compounding. Little things like “what the hell directory is this command actually running from”, parsing input parameters, quoting rules, exit statuses, pipelining, etc.

Tools like just provide a very consistent and simple base to start with, and you can always still call a separate script, or drop directly into inline shell scripting.
More likely just a default.

I built the authentication system on our website and as a regular user of Gmail + aliasing I was very surprised when my brother pointed out our website didn’t allow them.

Turns out the default for Microsoft’s ASP.NET Identity Framework is to disallow special characters, but simply setting a flag in its configuration rectified this.
Retool.com is the closest thing I have found to the experience of building apps with Access
My impression is there aren't a lot of sites US users go to that are hosted outside the continental US. So in that way, you're right, cable cuts don't hurt that much. (Unless you're in Hawaii or Puerto Rico, or probably Alaska?)

On the other hand, a lot of US based businesses work overseas with connections back to the US. Those businesses would likely be affected if there are major cable cuts, and hurting US businesses hurts the US in general.

I ageee there's ways to make this work, but there would be significant disruption for quite some time as business adapts.

China would likely be fine with fiber cuts. The GFW already limits access to the world at large and encourages local hosting. One of the techniques to discourage use of certain sites is random disruption, which trains the population to look for local sites when foreign sites don't work. Russia is pushing towards a more self-sufficient internet, but I don't think they're as far along, and I haven't heard of as much opaque coerciveness as in China, although I'm sure it's planned.

What I mean is that even if cross core latency stayed constant, but IPC increased, the opportunity cost of waiting on something to cross cores has gone up too.

I could see if the latency went up over time too though. It's wild to me to have seen some early cross CPU busses on motherboards then become integrated in chips, and brought back out between chips of multiple cores. There's no way to do (N-1)! links anymore. N went up too fast.
Super cool :) thanks!
I use Invoke-Build[1] everywhere and I highly recommend it. It's cross-platform, uses PowerShell so we have serious programming language in the background and is extremely simple yet powerful: dependencies, integrated help, good defaults for error handling and starting directory, vs code support, DOT charts of task dependencies, incremental task, persistent builds, parallel stuff etc. See example usage here [2]

Task is in a similar problem space.

Unlike Just which clearly states it is not a build system [1], Task can be told about expected files so tasks can be skipped to avoid unnecessary work [2]. So if your task is to build software, IMO make and the others like Task would be better.

If your tasks only care about the success code from a process, and/or are a Rust fan instead of Go, then Just should be fine. Otherwise, for specific use-cases like CI, you are likely already coding in a proprietary YAML/JSON/XML format.

I think the unauthorized sale concern is overblown, but do believe "assault weapons" are uniquely dangerous; this is a debate I've had on HN a number of times, and tends to start with a courtly dance of someone saying "that's because you don't know how firearms work" and the history of semi-automatic long guns, and end with ballistics reports and the machining simplicity of automatic sears.

I don't necessarily want to have that whole debate again, which I guess I could do by pressing the point, so much as to make space in this subthread for "maybe that one part of your strong comment is not as settled as you're making it out to be".

In direct response to an official declaration of military action by Zelensky against legal Russian territory.

It was not "legal Russian territory". The very edict you cite refers to it as "temporarily occupied". (It's also not why Russia invaded, but that's a side matter).

Sevestapol is a Russian city according to Ukranian law.

Also plainly false.
The term "assault weapon" usually indicates larger magazines and higher rate of fire than firearms that are typically used for self defense or sport. I don't know about "uniquely dangerous", but if a firearm can shoot more bullets faster it clearly has the potential to be more dangerous and cause more injury and loss of life than other firearms. Even the people who want to die on the hill of being pedantic about the term "assault weapon" have to admit that.
Ask HN: Git Alternatives – Sapling vs. Jj
Having worked at Google I have unfortunately been exposed to what is possible when in comes to version control systems. I have been looking for a git alternative that is just generally simpler, more ergonomic, and allows for things like stacked PRs while maintaining git compatibility, since everything is on github.

I am uninterested in `you can do that in git with [insert esoteric commands]`.

My main contenders right now are Sapling[0], a project from Meta, and jj[1]. I am wondering if anyone has experience with either, or definitely those who have tried both, what was your experience? They both have a lot of nice features.

I think ALGOL nowadays would likely work best as sort of a lingua franca psuedocode, I don’t think it would be too difficult to make that work. It kind of was already for a long time, as much of the Collected Algorithms of the ACM were originally written in it IIRC.
all good points, and it's not a great way to "make friends and influence people" by screwing with their workflow. After making this mistake at least twice myself (mainly due to fumbling with MacOS mouse/keyboard differences on my machine), I just wanted to prevent a disaster in the future from me or anyone else. But alas, I just need to be more careful and encourage others to learn from my mistakes :)
Yeah, we were sensitive to that fact. It's unfortunate.

We came across more than a couple business owners who had side hustles as property speculators. One owner basically said that he's buying whatever he can get his hands on since there's a guaranteed return.

As tourists we're of course part of the problem, but we're also a lot of the economy. I think Lisbon is also somewhat in a problem like San Francisco, constrained geography, and paradise for the climate, all creating very high demand from people who have the money. People with money will simply outpay people with less to live in more desirable areas.

It doesn't help that Portugal also has very cheap/easy long-term/permanent visa programs which doesn't help. They're almost one of the easiest ones globally that also gets you into the EU. https://www.globalcitizensolutions.com/portugal-residency-vi...
The constraints will always be met. It’s the data inside that might be inaccurate. YMMV with smaller models in that sense.

> Your only market was selling to other masculine-identifying customers, if you didn't in some way pander to male obsessions then you'd usually struggle to find a market.

You are wrong on all levels with this statement.

Firstly, males are ~50% of the world population, that's a hell of a large market to sell to. And secondly, you can also make separate games specifically for girls as the target market to get the other ~50%, you don't have to feminize or water down traditionally male games/franchises hoping they'll appeal to women because it never works like that.

Top Gun Maverick was a hit because it was mostly geared towards male fantasies and that's fine. The Barbie movie was a hit because it was movie targeted specifically to women and that's fine. Imagine they'd make the Barbie movie all about Ken in order to appeal to men as well. Who would watch that? Nobody. Well, that's exactly what modern game dev, story telling and writing is doing today, and then wondering why it's failing. Trying to make an entertainment product to appeal to absolutely everyone is doomed to fail from the start.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with having entertainment made specifically for one gender or the other, because they're biologically different and therefore have different fantasies, and gaming is a lot about living personal fantasies and escapism from reality, not about having narratives you don't empathize with, shoved down your throat.

>Along with the advent of smartphones, "casual" gaming became the norm and less masculine obsessive titles got funded. For the first time perhaps in the history of gaming, you can make more money targeting a more inclusive audience from the start.

And that's good, but that's because of creation of new gaming genres like Farmville, Candy Crush or Flappy bird, that have mass appeal, not by modifying established "male dominated" franchises to give them mass appeal.

>I empathize with that perspective

You may empathize with it but you clearly don't understand it nor does a large part of the modern industry it seems. Or they understand it but reject it because in their mind women >= men at everything, therefore they must be forced to enjoy the same entertainment. Refusing to acknowledge that men and women are different and into different things (aka "wokification") is what's killing modern entertainment.

>Unless your game is so blatantly offensive that it crosses into parody again (eg. Wolvenstein or C&C Red Alert)

What was blatantly offensive about such games?

>you can't really make a non-woke game nowadays without looking like a moron

Yeah you can. Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2, Black Myth Wukong, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, etc
The manual states that "just is a command runner, not a build system," and mentions "no need for .PHONY recipes!" This seems to suggest that there's no way to prevent Just from rebuilding targets, even if they are up-to-date. For me, one of the key advantages of using Make is its support for incremental builds, which is a major distinction from using a plain shell script to run some commands.
If it's so poor, it should be pretty easy to explain why.

Totally agree with this article, and this is about collaborative text editing, which is something these solutions and algorithms are actually good at. Looking at everything from crdt fanboys applying this to application data and ignoring the UI/UX aspects about conflict resolution makes my neck hair stand up. This is how we end up with linear giving talks about their "sync engine" and happily deleting other users changes with last write wins.
Yes, absolutely. I took a job where the company (a major one) effed up HR in some way where I and another person, who got hired at the same time, didn't get paid for around six weeks. He got evicted from his apartment. I had the means to keep mine. His life was ruined. Mine kept on. I believe his situation is / was far more common than mine.
Ask HN: Next best to incorporate other than Delaware?

Minorities have known this for years. Everyone else is just playing catch up.
The problem comes about when closing dialogs (i.e. their state change) in random order leads to invalid state. If the user is in a process of doing something where `A` depends on `B` and `B` depends on `C`, etc, for example, you can't just let them say "I'm done with A now" (before B and C), when the flow REQUIRES input from B and C in order to be valid.

I know people can argue endlessly that no process step should ever REQUIRE input from some other step, but that's the same as saying "There's no such thing as a multi-step process" which is obviously an incorrect statement.

Like if I'm editing a new CMS record, and adding an attachment/file to it, what if I clicked "cancel" on the new record WHILE the upload Dialog is open? Sure you can rationalize your way around that, and think your way out of how that can work with modeless dialogs, but you're just creating lots of unnecessary work for yourself if you do.

Modal dialogs have been around literally forever (even before the web) because they're needed. It's a signal to the user that they MUST complete something before moving forward.
I haven't found a model at the price point of GPT-4o mini that is as capable. Based on the hype surrounding Llama 3.3 70B, it might be that one though. On Deepinfra, input tokens are more expensive, but the output token is cheaper so I would say they are probably equivalent in price.

Also, best bang for the buck is very subjective, since one person might need it to work for one use case vs somebody else, who needs it for more.
I’m American, and we could tell you some stories about criminal irregularities in our elections!

Humans are not immune to the effect. We invented methodologies to mitigate the effect.

Think about science. I mean hard science, like physics. You can not say a theory is proven[0] if it is purely derived from existing data. You can only say it when you release your theory and successfully predicate the future experiment results.

In other words, you need to do new experiements, gather new information and effectively "inject" the entropy into the humanity's scientific consensus.

[0]: Of course when we say some physical theory is proven, it just means the probablilty that it's violated in certain conditions is negligible, not that it's an universal truth.
Seconding Gemini flash for structured outputs. Have had some quite large jobs I’ve been happy with.
Fair, but the exponential growth function can be much more aggressive for a side project than your career. In a career, you max raises at 20% per year over a 5 year period? But side projects can have revenue increase 20% MRR.

Also, within companies, you need everyone’s unanimous permission to do anything.. if a problem is big enough, the team would do it themselves. If the problem is too small, the team won’t integrate.
