HN user
Fun fact: In french, Github, is pronounced « Guy Teube », where « Teube » is the backslang of « Bite », which can be literally translated by “Dick”.
So to give an example, is as if English speaking peoples would use a service named “Davedick”.
Many executives consider managing peoples is harder than managing machines, and that having many people working together have a better value than a single person.
As such, many want a raise, but no-one want to manage peoples and have responsibilities that involve human factor (state otherwise, it is easier to be sure about the result of your own work than the work of your whole team). That’s the reason why it is easier to ask for a raise as a manager than a single coder.
In this case, it was precisely the act of "allow nazis" that led Google to its current situation.
People aren't stupid, but the fact that Google is in this situation proves that we should have been less naive.
LVMH owner Bernard Arnault, who could take €1bn hit, says proposed 2% levy ‘aims to destroy liberal economy’
I don't know why what Bernard Arnault says is on HN, he has no competencies in economy.
No dumb rich-hate here, simply that Bernard Arnault is definitely not best person to talk about the subject.
The second sentence is also very good to see:
Our aim is to produce timeless code that will be readable, understandable, and maintainable by programmers who have not yet been born.
I’ve never been a fan on ThinkPad looks, until I get a second hand one, in 2014. It had 4GB or RAM and starts to have hard time with browsing, so few month ago, I bought 16GB for 20€. I’m almost sure It could live for 5 or 10 years.
My only complain is Ctrl cap sensor having some inconsistencies, I have to push strong on it.
For the rest I consider ThinkPad as the way to go for second hand.
One of my most educational personal project has been to update a ten y/o mupen64plus OpenGL plugin (Rice) to OpenGLES for RPi.
So much code that looks weird that I had dig in a lot and finally understood why this tiny piece of non-sense code is actually what make the whole system working, and think about how smart the previous dev was and how dumb I would have solve the problem myself.
Friends have told me that they’re relieved I seem “like myself” even after everything that’s happened. I don’t understand how that’s possible when I frequently don’t feel like I have a self to be. Jake and I became so entangled in these last few years that it still seems like many of my thoughts belong to both of us.
I can only recommend to read « Éloge de l'amour » from Alain Badiou (and Nicolas Truong). It defends love as a conscientious and willing alterity of yourself, but a non-controlled alterity, an alterity puts in the hands of another.
That’s why, I think, people does not help that much someone that lost a love saying him/her will be more focused on them-self. Because the lost was absolute part of them-self, and not something they actually suffer from.
I had the chance to work with Léo at its first job (Princes et Princesses from Michel Ocelot). It’s a wonderful guy, very fun and pleasant to work with.
TBH, the rest of the Ocelot’s team was the smoother peoples I had opportunity to work with.
To continue the analogy: Rock stars want to rock, not to teach music.
All of this is weird. Leaving a SSL CA open to anyone ~~the day official servers are close~~.
EDIT: Bug exists since 1 march 2021.
At first, it seems nice. But its impossible that Nintendo being nice in anyway, and even less more by adding a bug. This, and Pretendo that seems to expect the bug before the release.
I find this really suspicious.
Nothing in the product page explains how you generate the HTML code and/or the image.
I suspect asphalt has some important gains on the security side, especially with ABS.
I’m surprised security is not discussed at all here.
Wanted to say the same. Don’t get too much expectation on the feature side, but its a no-bullshit hardware. 25 days without charging, I can accept/refuse my calls, read messages and one of the dumbest yet most useful day to day feature is light my path inside my home without turning on lights and annoy the rest of my family.
I didn’t know AGG library this article is referring to. It seems to have a big legacy yet not much is known about the author.
Does it means that CoreCtrl can blow the fuse when underclocking? I’m doing this to avoid my CPU push the fans when doing casual browsing.
> Political pluralism should be the default.
Agreed.
But that doesn't mean that EVERY and ALL political view should be respected.
Exactly, the difference is called “relativism”.
internal tools are both very advanced and also fragile foot guns if you try to do anything that isn’t exactly down the golden path.
HT: That’s also an important point explained when we talk about internal VS commercial (or build VS buy) in the animation/VFX industry.
Internal softwares does less than 5% (or less) of commercial products, but they are doing it in a straight, fab compatibility way. No effort is made in making the tool working with your fab, the tool is shaped for the fab from scratch. That’s the value of internal tools. Converting those is viable product is very risky.
We arrive to the point that anything RPi touch see a massive foundation solidification.
Even if RPi release an electronic RISC-V hardware, this foundation solidification would harm ARM on the long run.
Have you anything to point? I don’t remember any non-sense in packaging a deb.
The libdvdcss thing is probably just the French being awkward in that way they love to do; if it had been the UK they would have rolled over without a word of complaint.
As much as we have fun co-bulling with UK, this statement does not make sense.
Allowing libdvdcss is consistent with a long story about the medium/support/distribution not being legally sanctified against the content. Beyond the chiming about entertaining content (MP3/MP4 VS CD/DVD), the point is to never let anyone/anything (individuals, professionals, and most important public services), being locked to a particular support if their think its not in there interest. Before the DRM mess, this has been a source of problem when some software editors fall down and we had billions of documents in a closed format and some research project to convert those files back to something readable (which is kind of non-sense). If support and distribution sucks, you should not being locked to it and can choose to invest time and money to change it. The simple fact you are ready to invest in unlocking yourself is almost considered good enough. The “Cour de cassation” (most important juridical instance) always decides in favor of content owner than content distributor. I suspect the globalization makes those statement even more important as you don’t want your public service to be locked down to software solution of another country.
I don’t think it’s that much award. Many countries are doing the same and some considers copyright as an American soft power, especially for softwares. Content openness is such a thing it has modified the way even big software companies are making money.
Hope this helps.
OpenAI is not cheap, it’s selling at lost.
the .deb ecosystem still feels like its stuck in the late 90s linux era to me.
Can you elaborate, please? What do you mean by this?
To return a feel of stability and contrast with your main competitor at a moment everyone is reassessing it’s technological choices.
Epic actually shows its business model is doubtful.
Unreal for VFX is hard to scale, but have some interesting iterative advantages. If Godot is the alternative, VFX will likely fall back to path tracing.
Just after Unity reveal they have no long term plan. That was fast.
When H3 released, I expected H2 colored art with more pixels, but have been disappointed by the CG-like approach with undersaturated colors.
H2 keeps a hand colored vib.
Thanks for your work!
What is the relation between BAR, Recoil and Spring?
something that is hard but not impossible to go wrong may carry huge amounts of risk.
I think it's the definition of the black swan theory[1].
I'm happy to see more love to assertion.
I worked on a 15K loc Python project. We didn't have tests because it was hard to isolate.
We started to puts some asserts here and there on parts of the code we weren't sure about.
After few months, we simply puts assert _everywhere_ and it quickly became a weird but efficient way to cover our backs and it help us to make refactoring fun.
With assert, you can start to think if particular branching is relevant or should be placed on the caller side.
We consider an AssertionError as a developer error and it makes a real difference in investigation time between other errors that could raise.
