Agreed. However, that has nothing to do with this news. Poor quality in games is what you get when you have investors that care more about a new Fortnite clone raking in money via micro transactions versus a quality game made by good workers.

As a Canadian travelling throughout much of the world, border controls aside from the US always seem much more concerned with imported goods (tax collection and protecting agriculture, etc) than imported people.

What was your use case? Konva is a pretty high level abstraction, more like a lightweight interactive geometry & paint engine than a graphics API. It must've taken quite a bit of work to recreate similar functionality using native APIs?

Sturgeon's law: 90% of everything is crap.

Most AAA games are, and have always been crap. But we only remember the rare gems from yesteryear that weren't crap. 5 years from now you'll look fondly on the games from 2025 because a couple will have stuck with you and you'll have long since dropped the rest.

Look, a language that was conceived out of necessity to write a web browser in a safer way is being used just for that. It's a different, unrelated browser, but the language still reaches its design goals beautifully.
This is the first I've heard of "direct-join union"s. DuckDuckGo only brings up variations of this article, or the pages to join individual, employer specific unions.

But remember, the whole premise of this discussion is that fools can be duped into clicking yes to anything, so scammers can talk your grandmother into granting an application that permission. In one case iPhones must not permit it because Apple cares very much, but in another MacOS permits it because it doesn't matter or something? Either way, Apple can do no wrong!

Unfortunately, it also seems to be true that the guidelines aren't enforced on discussions about the Trump administration. We used to have informative, curious discussions about politics here, but it seems like Hacker News is no longer capable of that, so I think these flamewars are best left to one of the many willing political battlegrounds like reddit or X.
Google is guilty of a lot of things but this is a drive-by shakedown by predatory law firms.
+1 for I Will Teach You To Be Rich. The title is a turn-off but the book is great. It has some life-changing financial literacy advice and is worth the price many times over, IMHO.

And yeah, you can get an AI to dump the key points out of the book, but they don't do the book justice.
It is funny, how being a corporate-Rails programmer taught me this early in my career. Because building Ruby from source was the only way you could install latest Ruby versions (using ruby-build) and installing Ruby from source means its dependencies like openssl, zlib had to be installed from source too, to match the required versions.

And for a long time using Jemalloc was the only was to keep the memory usage constant with multi-threaded ruby programs like Puma and Sidekiq. This was either achieved through compiling Ruby with jemalloc or modifying the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Some developers also reported 5% or so reduction in response times with jemalloc, iirc.

The problem with this approach is though, when a package has a lot of dependencies like ImageMagick which relies on jpeg, png, ghost and a lot of other libraries, you have to take a trial and error approach until it succeeds. Fortunately fixing the dependency errors are the easiest, sometimes building Python from source would throw errors from headers which are impossible to understand. If you find a Stackoverflow solution then you are good, or you have to go down the rabbit hole coming either successful or empty handed based on your level of expertise.
The Case for Impeaching Clarence Thomas (2018)
Lifetime Plex Pass subscriber, here.

This is a boneheaded move on their part. They didn't have to create this extraneous infrastructure of data analytics and web proxies for sign-ins, they could have just stuck with a competent media server platform that was lean and mean. I bought a Plex Pass because I wanted to support ongoing development, and my household members gladly paid the mobile activation charges because Plex provided a really great experience all told - and competitors (like Jellyfin) simply weren't comparable in features or stability to Plex at the time.

Fast forward to today, and I'm honestly considering migrating to Jellyfin despite being a lifetime Plex Pass subscriber. Seeing the odd article about them disabling accounts of larger library sharers (like those sharing with a large family or terabytes of streams a month) already gave me pause enough to setup Wireguard to try and hide remote streaming metrics, but these changes really make me want to get off Plex wholesale. Between its database corruption on migrations, its overly-aggressive content scanners overriding curated file metadata and embedded artwork for whatever AI slop it prefers from elsewhere, and the container explicitly stating it relies on file locking for its database (and therefore not widely compatible with shared filesystems, which is a key point of using containers and container orchestration), I'm honestly kind of done babysitting a piece of software that used to be fire-and-forget.

These changes mean I'll be spending even more time onboarding or troubleshooting other users of the library, which limits my enjoyment of it. Good software shouldn't require constant maintenance and support, and Plex is not - in my subjective opinion - good software anymore.
Does that apply to salaried/FLSA-exempt workers?

The author also has a great podcast [0] that discusses money issues with couples. Even if you are not a couple, the insights they have are very useful and interesting, as it acts as a sort of therapy for the guests and the listener. After all, money issues are often psychological in nature.

When I went through it years ago, it was mostly about making sure you had all your paperwork in order - had the company sponsoring you provided the relevant information regarding the role and why you were needed, did your resume and experience match at all with the work being performed, etc. Basically I showed up with a list of documents and a very nice border guard looked it over and said welcome to Canada. Each time I traveled up there for work, the border guards were polite and professional. Each time I traveled home, I got pulled aside for advanced screening like I was a drug mule. Just loved all the America trivia questions and deep dives into the history of where I live, just so they could feel good about their jobs.
If you're already proficient with grep, find, etc - there's not much reason to switch. As I said elsewhere:

I never managed to use find because I always had to look up command line arguments. I would always find a different way to solve my problem (e.g. Midnight Commander).

I use fd all the time.

A better interface makes a big difference.
> The deeper problem is China has a lot of dedicated engineers developing stuff and dominating in batteries and the like that are largely churned out by automated machinery.

Deeper problem for what?

I don't think that automation changes the whole picture as much as you might think.

Sure, the wage component of product cost is gonna decrease, but you still need people to build, upgrade, maintain and operate those assembly lines, and cheaper wages there still mean lower costs. Which is why EU car manufacturers also moved a lot of their production eastward (Slovenia, Hungary, etc.) despite very high automation.
The Internet is BGP, IP, and the like.

Systems that run on the Internet come and go: the open web, the siloed web, social media, private overlay networks, etc. All of those still exist but there's definitely been a progression of the ages in which these things have been dominant and then faded into the background. I'm sure this will keep happening.

I don't think the Internet is going anywhere.
Generative Ad Units
Yeah I get the same feeling about books, movies and TV shows.

The moment that they try to talk about politics or something serious, I feel they fell short. Reality is way more complex than what they are trying to reveal.

But I'm going to try some hard sci-fi and see what happens.
In the case of the regular officers who were given ICE powers earlier this year they weren't specifically trained at all.
What's toxic is the system, for both men and women. A lot of the modern feminists and redpillers are anti-marriage, and advocate for men and women to never get married, for various reasons. Usually both gender warriors claim it's an oppressive institution. Meanwhile people have less children, and neglect their children, while corporations have them climbing the corporate ladder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNzXze5Yza8

I was there at Sheryl Sandberg's event when released her book "Lean In", about how women can do better climbing the corporate ladder. The culture now teaches kids to find life's meaning in something that will soon be automated by AI anyway. We'll have to figure out other ways of connecting again, spend time with our kids instead of sending them to government schools, take care of our parents instead of sticking them in nursing homes, etc.

The problems are upstream (social networks, microplastics, factory farms, sugar, etc.) causing record teenage sadness, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, etc. The current solutions in USA are mostly medication downstream: amphetamines for kids with ADHD, SSRI inhibitors for depression, ozempic for diabetes, vaccines for a coronavirus that mostly affected people with diabetes / obesity (a real persistent epidemic that is hardly addressed at its root cause).

This is what you should be worried about, in my opinion: https://magarshak.com/blog/?paged=2

And the reason that boys end up looking to redpillers, blackpillers, MRAs, and guys the Tates etc. is because the system failed them. Dating sucks for both sexes. It used to be you competed with people in your local village. Now you compete with the whole world, and no one wants to settle. And teenage girls have record levels of sadness too, and everyone will soon be competing with AIs.
I give up, why?
That's my question, because SVG is declarative vector graphics. It has a ton of features, can be SSR'ed, written and used in various apps...

Many of them didn't, the right to act as ICE was extended beyond the service itself through executive order.
Yes, but that opposing argument could be made, and it's better to have some gate than none, even if it allows everything by default. For example, apps that are found to be malicious could be revoked later.
But... cheaper gas and groceries!
Konva is much easier to use for simpler apps, especially combined with React. You basically define some shapes similarly to how you would declare any component, pass props and event handlers to it, and it just magically works.

Pixi is lower level. It takes more scaffolding to get to the same level of functionality. But it can be more performant for some draw intensive operations. Not that Konva is particularly slow though.
People Are Using AI to Create Influencers with Down Syndrome Who Sell Nudes
I mean, as US citizen I find my interactions with CBP to be easy but it’s because their options are admit me or arrest me vs German guard who questioned me for 15 minutes if my personal laptop was because I was planning on working. Anytime you are entering a country you have right to be in, it’s generally easier.
Hey everyone, we are creating a knowledge graph (runs locally or on cloud), with a simple web crawler, with Anthropic Claude (Ollama & others coming soon). We made good progress this month:

- Start with an objective, like "track Python/TypeScript jobs from any job site"
- Anthropic Claude gives starting keywords and crawl guidelines
- Using Brave Search API, we get URLs
- Crawl starts

At the moment you can do keyword search. Entity extraction is coming soon, so "job post" will be an extracted entity in the above example and you can browse all jobs from any crawled site in a uniform UI.

You're presenting that dichotomy, not me. I'm sure they have plenty of possible courses of action. I'm just trying to say that it's not obvious to me that they actually want a state, and if they don't then there's not much Israel can do about the situation.
That's what they said about solar power but year after year the industry grows.
While it's true marketing can impact how your dollars could actually contribute to better living conditions, I'd just it's defeatist to just throw your hands up and say it doesn't matter.

A consumer can look up certifications like Certified Humane which does audits on farms to ensure they're following the required standards. While I'm sure it's not a perfect system it does hold farms to some accountability.

That particular book is of special interest to me as a stirner shill/fanatic. The "Specter of Marx" he's refering to is Max Stirner! Derrida is trying to answer the question of "Why did Stirners book, The Unique and its Property, trigger Marx to write The German Ideology and dedicate over 300 pages to shitting on stirner?".

I've cover to cover read that book, and it's garbage dog shit just like Zizek is. The moment that you start trying to wax poetic about whose what ism is when you become post-modern neo marxism. It's academic ivy league eliteist careerism and its disgusting. Fashionable nonsense. Zinn and Zizek are playing the exact same game. One just writes more coherently than the other.

If you think Hegel or Marx are worth citing, you're a pomo/fraud. If you think Psychoanalysis/Freud are worth citing, you're a pomo/fraud. Deleuze killed himself. Mark fischer killed himself. Althussar killed his wife.
Wilhelm Reich was a loony who after writing his analysis of the sexuality of fascism went nuts about "Orgone" machines. Foucault, Sartre/De Bouvier were pedos and collaborators. Even my favorite half-breed of pluralism mixed with pomo shit, Arendt, was in love with the arch nemesis of "oh they were literally a nazi " pomos - Heidigger! And who can forgot Carl Schmitt?

JUST WRITE THESE IDIOTS ALL OFF ALREADY AND LEAVE THEM IN THE DUST BIN OF HISTORY!
the city i'm in has done it up to 4 units. it's pretty recent (less than a year, i think), so i don't expect to see much effect yet

NIMBYs did indeed get involved: you can build up to 4 units in basically any residential zone except for the "rich people" part of town

more cities seem to be doing this sort of thing. hopefully we'll have more/better papers on it in the near future. (and hopefully it works)
> if they can go over 17kph without pedalling

And there's the excessive reactionary regulation that makes people not comply with the rules.

If you put some reasonable speed limit and look at the other important factors like weight, you won't need to register anything that runs as fast as a child on skates, and can focus on what is really the problem.

I discovered Konva just this week and it has been extremely helpful for jumpstarting my latest project. I've been impressed with the docs and the examples and the ergonomics of the api giving me an unusual amount of "it just works" moments.
This is the inevitable, and sadly predicted, consequence of the relentless left-wing politicization of the sciences and academia in general.
I wonder why “Black” employees were asked to be excluded from the lawsuit before Google agreed to settle.

I think it accurately explains the mood shift of the portion of the public the OP was originally criticizing for apparent hypocrisy. The same portion of the public who think the prosecutions of the Jan 6 protestors as wildly overzealous, at best.

I have the best story on this - they didn't believe I wasn't Swiss, because my name is clearly Swiss and I was speaking German. My (American) passport had been amended so it took an hour and them making some calls before they were convinced I wasn't some kind of spy. Love the idea of my ancestral home not believing I wasn't one of them, even if they were quite rude about it.
I say average as I'm at about 60 for the past 60 days. Some days 0, some days 15. As an attempt to increase my success rate I have limited most of my applications to specifically target my most comfortable stack as well as focusing on orgs physically close to me that are seeking to fill hybrid positions. I check daily, but the supply of positions that meet that criteria go through waves.

I certainly do apply for remote-only positions as well if I match the requirements really well, but everything in the intermediate to mid-level range is getting 800-1,000 apps per week.

That's an interesting anecdote. I grew up on a border town, but as a US Citizen often going up into Cananda. Without fail it was always the US border guards who were the jerks (I went to school with their kids!) and the Canadian guards who were gracious and courteous.

Given that I've NEVER had what I would call a great interaction with a US border guard, it warms my heart to hear that at least they could be kind to some one ;-)

I don't think "consumer gadget" comes across particularly negatively or dismissively, and don't see this playing out at all like the Ratner's case.

Also, it seems like you might be a bit anchored to the low end of the smartwatch price spectrum from your own preferences, but I don't think it's particularly expensive among major smartwatch brands. Apple has by far the biggest market share, but I also tried to piece together how it compared to other companies with leading market share according to this chart[0]. It's a couple years out of date, but from looking at more recent data I don't think the market leaders have changed all that much. I might have made some mistakes navigating the websites of the various brands to piece together the comparison.

1) Apple - $150 is cheaper than all their models
2) Samsung - cheaper than all but one model
3) Huawei - similar to their second cheapest
4) imoo - $20 more than their cheapest model
5) amazfit - the cheaper brand you already mentioned
6) Garmin - cheaper than all their models

You're already using the cheapest smartwatch brand in those top 6 brands, so while $150 might feel expensive to you it's actually on the cheaper end of major smartwatch brands.

As a side note, this was all a bit interesting to learn about as someone dedicated to my $15 casio dumb watch.

That doesn't mean there haven't been shifts in the industry.

Could the downsides of a rider really be worse than a lawsuit?
I've used Plex for years (for free) and, while I'd love it to be free forever with no caveats, I think that making remote streaming a paid feature is ultimately a good decision. They need income to keep the lights on, and I'd rather pay for the service I'm getting than receive a "free" service that comes with invasive advertising or at the cost of privacy.

That said, I have noticed Plex pushing paid content and just because I haven't noticed my privacy being compromised doesn't mean I'm in the clear, so if other people have insight I'd be interested to hear about it before I commit to a subscription.
