I find Fortnite to have a much more reasonable monetization pattern compared to literally all other games that children play nowadays (Genshin and Roblox being the two most problematic). I also love that Epic is the only attempt at breaking the Steam game distribution monopoly we have today.

Also, Sweeney not wrong. Billionaires are lining up to pay Trump his dues because it'll lead to more $$.

Interesting comment... I keep getting surprised by implicit first world assumptions on HN.

I'm not the OP but you could consider hypothetically as an example, would great teachers largely choose to settle in PNW?
Or really any permanent settlement. Look at say, Northern Inuit vs. Puebloans.
Is this guy ever not whining about something?
> Yes, it would be very expensive. But you know what's even more expensive? The sum of everybody's lowered wages, bad bosses, fear for the future, fear of having kids and so on, due to the threat of homelessness.

I doubt your supposition. Once you create free housing you reduce your tax base. You are creating a positive feedback loop of costs, lost revenue, leading to more costs, leading to more lost revenue... and so on.

You've also not explored alternative means of solving those other problems on a more direct level or have any information as to what that might cost. You could just as well increase direct funding for small businesses and approach anti monopoly law with a renewed vigor.

To me it's putting a bandaid on your eye when you've cut your finger. So very nearly the right idea it's a little painful.
Of course, currying favor with the new administration.

This has always been the case, of course, but it feels much more out in the open now. Where does the slippery slope end? Go down this road too far and these tech companies will end up like their counterparts in China (Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, etc.) who do the autocratic government's bidding in controlling the population (by controlling information) for fear of retribution to their bottom line.
If I have two Queens in play am I untargetable? (each Queen protects the other?)

I dislike Tim Sweeney very much.

But it doesn't make what he's saying here wrong.
> It’s definitely cultural. I’ve been to every major city in the US and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a homeless Indian.

Why might it be rare to see a homeless member of a group whose members make up less than 2% of the population in the US to start with and are largely recent immigrants (15% immigrating within the last 5 years!), often under work-based visa programs targeting highly-skilled workers that are well paid?

Could it be cultural superiority of the cultures from which they are drawn? Could it be some other thing that makes them rare among the US homeless?

Hard to tell, I'm sure.
That doesn’t make him any more right than someone who pulled this claim out of his rear. Tim Sweeney has hated all of these people for years, so it’s a fine slur completely in line with past comments.
any specific sites/links that you can share?
Want to hear my hot take?

It's not funding (though that is A problem).

It's not attracting qualified, talented teachers (though that is A problem).

The main problem is parents and society. Individualism means parents know better than the schools, and teach their kids that attitude as well. This cuts across class, ethnicity, and any other demographic marker you can think of.

Am I right? I don't know, but I think I am.

> I believe that this is because the US has a profoundly racist culture

I wonder why US is not racist against Indians and Chinese.

> Perhaps the US system of racism is less effective against people who had first-class opportunities at education and mentorship

Are we supposed to believe that only certain societies (like India and China) have these kind of opportunities? Why doesn't Latin America, with 600-700M population, have this kind of opportunity then?

> lots of times I had Indian and Chinese coworkers and a white boss.

Anecdote - at the last FAANG I worked at, 6 out of 7 people in my management chain were Indian dudes, including the CEO. Also as a matter of statistics, Asians are over-represented in S&P500 leadership positions compared to their share of the US population.
Starts seeing with adapting a strategy that works in the best interest of your company.

It is up the leadership to weigh the upside against the odds, short term reprieve or the consequences of going against the grain.

If you wrote a web app for elderly people which demanded $799 every time they needed tech assistance, with said assistance coming straight from Pakistan and thus unintelligible, there’s no law against that.

But seriously, if you have literally once condemned something that doesn’t have a law against it, that shows your argument is trash.
This is actually pretty good! And it seems to be compatible with my implementation (it’s also UUIDv7 and base32 alphabet is the same, but without mapping from OIL to 01).
It can absolutely matter, and in fact it is all the more important in a single-parent household.

You’re right that single vs. two parent household is the largest contributing factor. You’re wrong that it means that no other factors matter at all.
I'm not saying Genshin's pull-gambling isn't problematic, but it was one of the first I knew of that have a pity system, where you'd eventually be guaranteed to get the unit you wanted. As a player that pays $5/mo for some gems and gets all their other gems for free, I've hit that pity payout quite a few times since launch.

I wouldn't call it "one of the most problematic". It's bad, but it's not even close to the worst.

Fortnite does feel a lot more reasonable to me. From what I know of it, you pay for things directly, or you pay for a pass that you earn things on if you just play enough. And it's pretty cheap, compared to other online service-based games.
There’s no reason to believe it’s primarily due to the DEI programs until it gets worse again with them gone. That’s a basic ABA flow for testing causation.

Even giving preferential treatment to actually woman owned businesses is arguably bad in itself. Women shouldn't get preferential treatment at all when picking a business. Only the performance of the business should matter. Discriminating against male owners (equivalent to preferring female owners) is clearly not "good intentions".

There has been fairly widespread and well corroborated reporting that Matt has intentionally removed or incentivized people to leave who don’t agree with him.

My personal opinion theory is that either he is suffering a significant mental health crisis, or cynically trying to cash in on how widespread WordPress has become.

Of course we have seen this play out in FOSS history before, and we know how it goes, so it’s almost immaterial why he’s trying so hard to blow up his own spot.
Yes, your GGP comment doesn't make him right. His words explaining his argument make him right on this particular topic.
No, it doesn't. It means the C standard imposes no requirements. It does not mean the compiler becomes unconstrained by statutory law or physics, and if your compiler is actually malware then it is not politely waiting for undefined behaviour before injecting a payload.

The notorious nasal demons may not be in conflict with the C standard, but they are not going to actually happen, because they only exist in the imagination. The example is given to illustrate by absurdity that the scope of consequential defects is greater than "your program may crash", that's all. If you do wish to produce a similar effect then I suggest consuming a bowl of Buldak instant noodles whilst inducing a sneeze during compilation. Warning: your sinuses will not thank you. And cover your keyboard.

The biggest hazard with undefined behaviour is that the compiler is not required to issue warnings or errors when encountered.

> NIMBYs in general are violently against any kind of public housing.

It’s more complicated than that. I’m massively pro public housing. I hate living next to it.

A poorly managed emergency housing facility is just a shit show. Violence, noise, rubbish, human and animal abuse, property damage, police attendance, debt collectors, smell, rodents, animal attacks, threats, overgrown plants etc, all within the last year, at my neighbouring house.
If it was ever managed properly, people might view it differently. Managing it costs money, and then people oppose the cost when it doesn’t come with more housing.
No way that people on a tech-focused forum like a technology designed for power users! Must be an echo chamber!
Easily the best product in its category. The value is in APM/tracing - if you're just using it for logs you're missing a lot.

If you're used to traditional Enterprise pricing it's fairly priced for the value you get but anybody coming from self-funded or VC it's very expensive. If you're already using Splunk you can afford it.

One of its best features is it's consumption priced not by seats so easy to open up for all of eng including product/QA teams and not just devs to use which is great for breaking down barriers.

It's a bit like aws in that it's a platform - use of one product tends to encourage using more from their suite.
> hundreds of years of enslavement and all the ensuing trauma doesn’t just go away after a few generations

This sounds unreasonable. If Europe can forget about Germany messing with everyone some 80 years ago, then so can the US forget about slavery.

If there’s continuing trauma, it isn’t caused by what happened 100 years ago, it’s because it is still being perpetuated somehow.

That might be what you are trying to say, but I had to read it a few times to see it.
Oh ok, that makes sense. I can agree with that. Given that, I worry the number of women will stagnate or decrease without it, which, imho, would be a detriment to the industry.
I'm proud of all the socialist policies here in Sweden, and our neighbors. But a lot of times these things are posted as comparisons with the US, and let's get real, there is no comparison. The United States as a country is vastly different from any nordic european country.

So stop holding these countries with insignificant populations up as beacons of light. I think the problem with the US is very clear to me as an outsider observer. It's a vast country that is so big that technically it's still being colonized. And in order to speed up this process there is unchecked capitalism. And you can never rely on a benevolent billionaire to solve your problems. Only the government can be held responsible for its citizens.
The standard ought to be they have or imminently are going to harm others. Like actually harm a real victim, criminally by violence or taking property. If they want to live in a gutter worshipping lizard king, well, not everyone has the same idea of the pursuit of happiness.
Quality is determined by the competence of the people running the business. If two companies are of the same or similar quality then the race, not skin color, of the owner can be used as an indicator of their competence. Since it is well known that non-white races get less resources at every stage of personal development. When a company like Meta buys them the growth potential is much higher.
Phoenix dependency:

I mentioned Phoenix as a dependency because some developers prefer other backend solutions like Ash Framework or Commanded (for CQRS/Event Sourcing), or may want to use Hologram with their existing non-Phoenix backends.

While Phoenix is currently a great foundation for Hologram (providing battle-tested HTTP, WebSocket, and PubSub capabilities), the long-term vision is to potentially make Hologram self-sufficient. This would give developers maximum flexibility in choosing their backend architecture.

That said, Phoenix remains an excellent choice and most Elixir web developers are already using it, making Hologram easy to adopt incrementally in existing Phoenix applications.

Elixir syntax coverage:

You are right, this shouldn't be an issue in practice due to Hologram's action/command distinction. Actions are meant for UI state updates and triggering commands, while commands handle things like database access, file I/O, and OS operations on the server side.
We're actually quite close to 100% Elixir syntax compatibility. Process-related functionality isn't implemented yet, but the plan is to handle it initially using microtasks and Promises to provide semantically equivalent behavior and eventually use Web Workers for real parallelism.
The key is that actions should remain focused on UI concerns, while commands handle the heavy lifting on the server side. This natural separation means you rarely encounter compatibility edge cases in practice.

> In the JS console? Like at runtime? I don't just get them as build errors?

Currently, syntax checks happen at runtime because Hologram doesn't perform dead code elimination for unused function heads. This means that even if your action code is valid, there might be unused function clauses in the same function that contain syntax we haven't implemented yet. Even if your code only calls one specific function head, all other heads of that function would still be included in the transpiled JavaScript.
Interesting article. However I have significant doubts about its accuracy.

I purchased my first computer in ~1978 - a Radio Shack Tandy Model I. By 1981 I was using my Tandy to connect to CIS - an online network offered to Radio Shack enthusiasts like myself - where I used an automated program to login - grab message headers I was following - log off and write responses - and then use the automated system to send my replies. This was necessary because Compuserve charged by the minute - and it was quite expensive for a young attorney such as myself.

I primarily used CIS to correspond with authors of programming books I was studying - usually in the early morning hours (when I should have been sleeping because I had early court appearances!) ... but it was great fun.

And, although it was many years ago, I am very confident it was during my compuserve years (1981-1990) that I learned all about ARAPNET and how there was an ongoing effort to design a stable network that included England and our NATO allies that would survive another world war.

Reading this article caused me to perform my own search to help jog my memory. I was surprised how difficult it was to find anything about Compuserve; CIS; or references to early 1980s online services. I did, however come across this article that surely seems to refute much of the take of the OP article:

https://www.myscience.uk/news/wire/commentary_how_britain_go...

As an aside, I did finally locate a reference to Compuserve/CIS - good ole wikipedia came through again:

What an enjoyable time down memory lane this post has been for me!

Tech leaders are just making do like the rest of us, swirling around while the world goes down the drain.
It’s definitely an overly broad brush.

Usually reinventing every wheel is a waste of time and resources, and that’s why when you need a website, you might reach for WordPress, or Hugo, or Craft, or whatever else.

Not everyone wants to spend development time crafting a custom website platform. Unless you’re trying to craft a custom website platform of course. That’s not most businesses.
No, I don't think you (most likely white) scrum master would allow you to work on that change.
In some US popular culture “drug addict” is code for “weak or immoral person.” There’s very little empathy or understanding of people who are much less fortunate; there’s plenty of evidence in this thread.

This misguided moral compass outweighs even sensible practices like harm reduction. People would rather see junkies die on the street of hepatitis than give them free housing and needles. It satisfies some primal need that, eventually I hope, our species will be better off with less of.
It's just a liability calculation.

To become a "tech leader" your values of market dominance and maximizing profit overrides any party sentiment.

Look at international chains - they're in countries that are democratic, authoritarian, theocratic, monarchist, capitalist, socialist ... it doesn't matter

You literally argue in this thread that "These cars need an emergency stop button" because the occupants might "urgently need to use a restroom". I cherry picked that because it's hilarious, but it's not a lie and you know it. Those quotes are real: those are your words.

Accusing other people of lying when they point out your whoppers is... not good faith argument.
There's definitely no currying of favor when you donate to Democrats though.
>I'm not sure if I agree with that. Money saved will be inflated away

Some property can't really be inflated away, although disposing of it for a fair value after an inflationary collapse could be difficult. Nobody is printing more land, but property taxes can be raised to infinity.

>I'm not sure where you get the 'order restored within a decade' from but if you are pulling from historical examples then I think you should be careful with survivorship bias.

I'm talking about the average war, natural disaster, or inflationary event that you could see in your lifetime, especially if you live in the US. Nobody knows the future but if you're worried about things that affect the economy then I think it's unlikely to stay down forever if it collapses.

>I can think of a number of examples where empires fell only to be replaced by their adversaries, so let's say the US does collapse, would order being restored be in the form of China taking over? In that situation it would be hard for me to imagine that working out well for the average American.

Have you ever heard of trying to control the things you can and to live with the things you can't? What do you think the odds of having ordinary economic hardships versus China invading any nuclear-armed country, much less the US? I think it could be argued that saving valuable resources would help in any situation, as long as it isn't 100% in worthless paper. There are far more people who lived large and ended up impoverished in old age, than any war casualties in all the wars ever fought. Even Germany, which was severely beaten down by two massive wars, managed to recover from all of that in the span of one lifetime.

Ideally, you would invest your money and get a return. But in my lifetime, the stock market has crashed multiple times. If you were all in on that, especially as you near retirement, you could lose too much money.

> The best way I can summarize it is that native Americans tended to have much more fine-grained ideas about what property rights entail than our Western systems.

Capitalism has very fine-grained ideas about property rights. Consider corporations, for just one example. There are multiple kinds of shares about who owns what rights to the corporation. Then there are all the contractual obligations that, in essence, transfer specific property rights. There are the web of rights that workers have over it. Then there are the rights the government has over it, via tax obligations and regulations. Layer on the concept of "stakeholders" that layer on more ownership rights.
