I loved it while I was there. Fun projects, global impact, good pay, fairly reasonable work/life balance.

Does anyone know if their installer still requires Rosetta?

These are also good resources on using wasm without dependencies:

Chrome's task manager claims it uses 53.7 MB for my Hacker News tab. In the same ballpark.

Meta comment: I tried to click the link but since the title is so short and my mousing not very precise, I accidentally clicked the upvote arrow. I then clicked "unvote" and tried again, but the same thing happened. The third time round, I managed to click the link.

Takeaway: Very short titles might get you some upvotes from clumsy users :)

I doubt existing browsers need much more memory for HN. It's a tiny page.

What a great article.

I'm not giving a summary since that video is most fun to watch if you don't know the punchline in advance.

(No relationship to the video other than that I liked it.)

What's a good resource to learn how to use cameras correctly?

A fellow Sony user, I see.

Codecs, not codes.

Isn't Apple ProRes exactly this?

(I don't know codes well, this is an honest question.)

When I was a kid, I wanted to write games. I wanted to use the same techniques that "real" games used, not some dumbed down "for kids" thing. I disliked everything that stressed ease-of-use and instant gratification and I liked everything that looked like it was written for professional use. In hindsight, this probably wasn't the smartest decision.

But it did lead to me learning C++, DirectX, OpenGL, 3d math, and so on. And I did end up in a place where I'm more or less paid to do what I did for fun back then.

Also, the learning process taught me frustration tolerance, which is a very useful skill to have in the industry, and which many others seem to lack.

Here's hoping they bring back a usb-a port on their laptops too.

> And no, usual Internet advice of “MSVC sucks, use Clang”

Given that this talks about a problem in the Microsoft standard library, wouldn't the usual internet advice be "use clang, and also llvm's libc++"? If clang just compiles the same slow code as msvc, it won't magically make it fast.

It's possible to install Linux, but it requires a bunch of fiddling. And even then power management tends to not work great.

I'd love if Linux has as officially supported and just worked.

Because random people yelling isn't that interesting; it's more interesting that it apparently had no consequences for them. And that's on team leadership, not on the yelling person.

Depends on the type of work, surely. If it's menial tasks and labor is plenty, you can afford your workforce continuously burning out, since it's fast to train and easy to replace. It's exploitative, but as long as it makes the market happy...

For highly-educated jobs where people need 6 months of onboarding and institutional knowledge matters, it's probably more efficient to reduce churn.

Looks nice!

In landscape mode on chrome/android, the footer overlaps the main part of the page.

Cool hack and writeup!

One way to look at this is that Apple is democratizing surveillance capitalism. Is that good? Bad?

Seems a bit at odds with their pro-privacy marketing though, which might be why they get so much flak for something presumably fairly minor.

Matt Levine made the point that the CEO has enough shares to control the board, so the point of this deck was to convince _the CEO_ that he no longer wants his job. It worked: he stepped down, and PTON was up 5% on the news.

This suggests Google should charge FB a few billion per year, lest they implement the same feature in Android. They could spin it as a research partnership to investigate the social effects of platform tracking. As long as partners keep paying, the research can continue, but once they stop paying it's time to act on the research results...

Well sure, the N literally stands for netflix. But semantically, it's often used as "the big tech companies". At least that what it means in my head. And that's Apple, Microsoft, (gap), Google, Amazon, (gap), Telsa, Facebook, at least by market cap. Netflix isn't anywhere close.

My bad, didn't check Netflix. It's not "really" part of FANG in my head, I suppose. Edited my comment to say "Big 5" instead.

Over the last month: VTSAX is down 9%, AMZN (hardest-hit Big 5) is down 16%, BTC is down 34%.

I don't know, _all_ points where the graph crosses the "Substantial increase" line were 2020+ or later.

Looking at those graphs, it does look like it's getting there for 15-44 years too, no?

Not sure why Android would want "iMessage is winning" as headline...
