... but they have exactly the same business model, and people genuinely promote valve as if they want it to be a monopoly. (though I am aware that it's not one now- first-party launchers are universally reviled by gamers).
Still unclear what happened. Did they not anticipate a big moon hole or did navigation fail when the rangefinder failed?
Table stakes is a poker term meaning the absolute minimum amount you are allowed to bet. So the title translates to "In S3, simplicity is the bare minimum" or "In S3, simplicity is so important that if we didn't have it, we might as well not even have S3."

I totally get what you mean. We do offer 15 free messages for the month, and you can come back the next month for 15 more (capped at 5 a day). The AI generation costs do factor in a lot towards the pricing, among other things like infra. Hopefully with future reduced costs we can offer those savings back to you.
Hi, friend. How did you do it specifically?
One Line, Three Tricks: Unpacking a Quake 1 Gem
Several years ago (~2016), I was working on writing a facebook integration for the company I was working for at the time. I'd deleted my personal facebook account years before that, so I created a new facebook profile to test with. I faked all the information (My actual first name, but the company I worked at for last name, used my company email, made up a birthdate, etc.) I was using a different computer than I'd ever logged in to facebook before, and I was on the company network.

On the first page after signing up, it wanted me to "Add some Friends", and suggested a bunch of people I knew. Including my cousin with a different last name, and who lived several states away.

I've always been fairly privacy conscious, always using an adblocker, but that was downright creepy.

lol not even close to an accurate comparison. The F-series has 20+ years on the CT.

Also, quite a few of those F-series recalls are for very specific engine configurations.

Many of those recalls are also for relatively minor things. Some of those recalls are for labels not being in the right location.
My niche is basically - I'm building distributed systems with minimal external dependencies that are fast and work reliably on the minimal amount of hardware/complexity. I do focus mainly on data processing and gathering.
The result is, that my client does not need that many servers or that big of a devops team to manage the service and it's reliable and scalable.

For example, I have build events gathering distributed system in Elixir (without external systems) that handled 930m events (33k reqs on peak hours) per day on 2 dedicated servers and that was only because minimal HA was required. It resulted in processing and aggregating of few billions of rows per day, in almost real time (few seconds behind realtime). It's still up to this day, few years later with only outages being updates of OS and Elixir/erlang updates to the app.

I love learning and understanding things - do you know of any niche that would fit mine and where I could go deeper with my knowledge and experience?

Ask HN: Any jobs that don't force you to always be advancing career wise?
(Throwaway for hopefully obvious reasons) I’m a software developer (web, fullstack) that’s been in the industry for about 10 years now and I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t care about advancing my career. My current title is Senior Software Engineer and, if I had it my way, I would be happy to keep that title for the rest of my career. I tried being a manager for a bit and hated it, and, in a similar fashion, the increased responsibility and scope of going down the road of Staff+ engineer holds no interest to me.

My only issue is that my current job has a very strong “up or out” mentality that I’m starting to push up against. And most other places I’ve worked at or talk about with friends seem to have similar attitudes toward career progression. I just want to do my job well, learn new things, and contribute to the businesses success. I don’t want to have to try and figure out with my manager what projects I should work on to make myself look good and be able to work my way up the ladder.

Has anyone worked somewhere that they felt they could just do their job without worrying about the career advancement aspect? I’ve contracted a bit and know that this would align well with this goal, but I enjoy having health insurance and not having to scrounge for work all the time.
How very authoritarian and anti-speech of you.
No, this is representative democracy which is a whole different game than democracy, where the people can affect change without middle men like Trump. Like in Switzerland, where people vote on referendums 4 times a year.

The USA has the lowest form of democracy, where the population cast a vote on a king every four years, hence why I call it only nominally democratic. To make it worse the candidates are already predetermined by powerful people who are vaguely known to the population.

This is why Trump got elected, because for all his faults, he is an outsider to this corrupt system, in the opinion of the voting public.
I also think most people expected a rerun of the 2016-2020 period, where he spent more time golfing than actually doing something.

Thanks for your feedback. And for giving Avid a try! I'm not particularly impressed by the speed myself and it's definitely something we're working on
I live in one of the mentioned countries (Kazakhstan) very close to one the major (unenriched) uranium processing plants. It's in the very east of the country close to the border with China, you'll easily find information about it if you're interested.

It most definitely is causing problems, but you will not hear about it because: a) nobody gives a flying fuck about us, especially our own government, and b) very little research is being done because nobody important is interested in doing it.

Most of the money made by destroying our health and environment goes to Switzerland (i.e. Glencore), and they have no incentive to care about us.

I read one study by a grad student who managed to escape from here to a French university, and she used a scanning electron microscope to find very high levels of heavy metal pollution -- including uranium -- in tree leaves all around the plant. That's about it.

And here's a personal anecdote of what the reality is here: when I was in college, I was working for a few months with a group of researchers that were testing novel techniques of reducing particulate pollution from a local coal power plant. While we did see some positive results, the emission values (both before and after) were significantly higher than what is permitted by government emission standards, about 8-10 times as much. So we were "asked" (and complied -- you don't really say no to these things) to reduce numbers to acceptable levels and publish that. This makes for a pretty piss-poor study if you ask me, it's not really science.

edit: and here's this beauty at close range:

This one was just discussed on HN yesterday with pretty good reviews: https://www.amazon.com/Math-Through-Ages-Teachers-Mathematic...
My main question is, if I drink ~3 glasses of soft drinks per day, should I get the one with sugar or the one with aspartame. Currently, I get the one with aspartame with thinking that (1) given the amount of sugar in this amount, I'd be running 100% full of my daily sugar norm, and (2) there are no conclusive evidence of aspartame being actually bad. Would the sugary drink be a better choice?

Another thing that irks me (though less so), is that occasionally somebody says for an aspartame drink that "you're drinking that poison?", when clearly, we would know if it really were poison.
VW is a public company, and everyone who was involved with that is dead. The name is different, the ownership is different, the principals are different - its ties to its Nazi past are beyond tenuous. Meanwhile the _current CEO_ of Tesla is flouncing around doing Nazi salutes. Like, if you can't see the difference, then I dunno what to tell you.

Ford might be a better example, as there's been some continuity of ownership/control there, but, well, Henry Ford is, thankfully, extremely dead. Again, that does make a difference.
I used to be somewhat mean to telemarketers, until I learned that some of them are prison laborers - getting paid pennies per hour to work in a prison call center.

It will be a comparable situation once antifascists liberate the USA, political and capital reconstruction with strong de-neonazification removes the ideology from influence and power, and after a couple generations of global veterans and victims spitting at the name, pop culture jokes and ad-fueled media rehabilitation.

Until then, I don't think it's fair to whitewash the Tesla brand with the brush that allowed the successful rehabilitation of German and Japanese industry. Elon Musk is already the eugenicist face of the destruction of USAID (>1M deaths/ year) and positioned to deploy an orbital constellation of weaponized satellites with offensive capabilities (Golden Dome). Do we really need to play this one out? It ends with tens or hundreds of millions dead, has the pursuit of money blinded so many of us to our shared humanity?
I don't think Twitter was great before Elon either, but it's definitely worse than before. But I also don't see how Susan Wojcicki was abusing it's leverage like Musk does.

But the US simply stopped fighting against tech monopolies at a given point. And started mocking the EU for doing what was common for the US until recently.
I wonder if you could actually put these into a socket or issues would occur.
That's one reason the resulting pollution and waste is tolerated. Another big reason is that the harms are diffuse and often hard to see. If coal power plant operators had to actually pay for the harms they produce, coal would have started phasing out much earlier and faster.

TFA addresses this directly:

> For the crows, the spikes seem purely structural, a material used to fashion a solid foundation. In both crow nests, the wires were incorporated into the base–interwoven with the points facing inward, below where a softer nest cup would sit. But for the magpies, there was an additional layer of intrigue; not only were the birds using the spikes to build nests, but it’s possible they were also employing the devices for their intended purpose—to ward off other birds.
If the author is still reading: did you enjoy programming for "oddball" systems for the time (like the transputer) more than x86 or would you say the fun comes more from enforcing strict limitations (like fitting in a boot sector) more than system uniqueness?
Also, isn't that heat only convection? This doesn't seem to take into account the fact that brick or stone fireplaces absorb heat and then radiate it back into the room. It's not all about moving hot air. The fireplace itself gets hot and that feeds back into the room through radiative heat.
I'm not sure what you find unclear. Navigation was fine - "Athena knew where it was relative to the surface of the Moon" - but without a working altimeter it was kinda fucked for actually touching down.

This is a little confused. The idea behind the permissions model is that the browser suite is responsible for mediating access to the hardware. Obviously, yes, you need to give it access to the hardware in the first place for it to do that. If you don't trust the browser as a manager of a hardware abstraction layer, that's fine. But that's the model that Via expects. I don't see how it's any more "creepy" than letting your browser read your camera or microphone or storage.

I can go to https://usevia.app on a locked down employer-managed chromebook and hit my QMK keyboard with no trouble whatsoever. And needless to say I can't touch the /dev nodes at all on this box.

Both will inevitably get lost/forgotten, especially if it's a password that isn't used on a regular basis. Even for regular backups users rarely test recovery protocols.

This is an interesting case of a RAG application and will create more of a moat than it might first appear.

Since standard LLM training data doesn't know how to read binary game save files or how to correlate their contents into narrative content or suggestions, a whole separate training will be needed for every game that wants to support this.

Essentially, this service would turn MS into the publisher of on-demand walkthroughs and game guides, since the database will need to contain all the info those do now.
One option is to find a job that has legacy work. A good place to look is a non-tech company. IE: a company that might use tech to run the business (which you will support), but tech isn't their main product. These companies tend be using older software because they aren't really required to have the latest and greatest.
That's not tail recursion.

And it gets more complex when there's a bunch of state that requires you to save the stack frame in your explicit stack.

If the language runtime has growable stacks you're just making the code more complex.

I agree. I wasn't trying to strictly define it just specify the form it usually takes.

In the case of OpenAI, were I to guess, they'll likely do things like push for stronger copyright laws or laws against web scraping. Things that look harmless but ultimately will squash new competitors in the AI market. Now that they already have a bunch of the data to train their models, they'll be happy to make it a little harder for them to get new data if it means they don't have to compete.
What's insulting is getting a clickbait headline and then an ad thrown in my face when I start reading.
Those arguments are misguided or even deliberately misleading.

Hiroshima was not significantly contaminated by radioactive material because the bomb dropped on it was not designed to do so (compare later speculative Cobalt-60 based designs), and the low amount of fissile material made incidental contamination a non-issue.

It's legally 50% for the first 6 months - but French work benefits are very largely defined by collective conventions agreed between unions and industry, which grant rights to employees above legal ones across entire sectors.

You'd probably be shocked by the amount of junk hiding in the design of the F-35 for example. Complex Systems in 3-d are still complex.
How do you define a "superhuman rock star"? Is it someone that competes at 10x the capacity of the average performance or 10x the capacity of the worst performance? Someone who is 10x the average is likely 25-100x more than the worst performer. You're selling their superhuman rock star ego short.

In any event, it doesn't really matter because engineering managers should just hire the best fit for their team. The unicorns are rare and expensive and may not be the best fit compared to just a stallion who likes to run.
> Ha, with AI scammer traps (e.g [1]), it'll be AI lying to other AI, trillions of CPU cycles wasted accomplishing nothing other than speeding up the destruction of the planet.

Reminds me of a small part of Neal Stephenson's "Anathem".

Or maybe a bit of Peter Watts' Rifters trilogy.
I don’t think that “call stack” implies “contiguous memory”, or “what the operating system might think of a process call stack”, so a linked list would still qualify as a call stack. While the C standard doesn’t use the word “stack”, it explicitly requires support for recursive function calls, and the related semantics it specifies with regard to automatic storage duration effectively describe a stack.
People keep saying "to compete with Apple" which of course, is nonsense. Apple isn't even second or third place in laptop marketshare last I checked.

So why build powerful laptops? Simple: people want powerful laptops. Remoting to a desktop isn't really a slam dunk experience, so having sufficient local firepower to do real work is a selling point. I do work on both a desktop and a laptop and it's nice being able to bring a portable workstation wherever I might need it, or just around the house.

Branford is within 15 minutes of Piqua and Greensville which are both mid-sized towns that have everything you need for everyday life, and a lot of what you'd want. To me that is much more relevant than how far it is to a large city, which you would be visiting much less frequently. 15 minutes is a normal commuting time within a city, so not really the middle of nowhere.
Isn't that the most impressive part? That the abstraction makes it seem so simple
Definitely not a dumb question. The first lander to land on the Moon (after many failures) is pretty amusing. [1] The Soviets a designed a lander that'd be launched right into the Moon but, just before impact would jettison the lander which itself was a highly reinforced ball that was then designed to simply pound into the Moon at 54kph, but survive the crash. The egg then unfurled and finally humanity had achieved a 'soft' landing on the Moon. Somehow it kind of makes one think of a really elaborate egg drop contest paired with a 'what happens if you jump right before the elevator crashes.'

Like another comment mentioned, complexity and size are big issues. Some more are power/mechanics (fluids, such as for hydraulics, and -280F aren't gonna play well together) and then there's the fact that there's not even a guarantee it'd work. Your legs could get damaged, you might end up in an orientation where none of the legs are appropriate, and so on. So you may be adding a whole bunch of complexity for stuff that might not even save you in the situation it was designed for!
