from those who pay them. They are a service for hire. you can hire them if you want and have the dough.

Spaghetti without tomato sauce? That's like pissing in the morning without farting. Sure, it'll get the main job done but it's not the same pure pleasure.

Almost zero, the non-zero ones are about supporting legacy software/hardware. Also I would not touch C on any DOS platform, since the great Turbo Pascal exists for it. Nothing else even compares to it.

Go ahead and do it. Put the code at your convenience on github. I don't care about your livestream, you can do it whenever. What I want is an app that I can install on my smartphone, Android, and that I can have my son do it as well and we play together. I am giving you a generous one week, should be more than enough for your "AI can do it easier". I did it in a month, and I put like 120 hours during that time. You get close to those 120 hours or over, you fail this "challenge accepted". Have fun.

Did you played Assassin's Creed Valhalla? In it there is a board game called Orlog. Go and make that game to be multiplayer so you can play with your spouse/son/friend. Come back to me once you're done and we see then how much time it took you.

Or remake the Gwent board game that is in Witcher 3.

Make either of that mobile game so you can enjoy in the same room with the person you love. Also make sure you can make multiple decks (for Gwent) / multiple starting God (for Orlog) and you just select the start and hit "ready to play" (or whatever). You'll know what I mean once you understand either of these games.

Good luck with having any of them made in one session and not breaking the big picture in million of pieces and you keep the big picture in your head.

No, it didn't. Or rather it did for run of the mill coder camp wanna be programmer. Like you sound you are one. For me it's the opposite. That's because I don't do run of the mill web pages, my work instead is very specific and the so called "AI" (which is actually just googling with extra spice on top, I don't think I'll see true AI in my lifetime) is too stupid to do it. So I have to break it down into several sessions giving only partial details (divide and conquer) otherwise will confabulate stupid code.

Before this "AI" I had to do the mundane tasks of boilerplate. Now I don't. That's a win for me. The grand thinking and the whole picture of the projects is still mine, and I keep trying to give it to "AI" from time to time, except each time it spits BS. Also it helps that as a freelancer my stuff gets used by my client directly in production (no manager above, that has a group leader, that has a CEO, that has client's IT department, that finally has the client as final user). That's another good feeling. Corporations with layers above layers are the soul sucking of programming joy. Freelancing allowed me to avoid that.

I remember when I learned Java after TP. I went to team's Java go for guy and asked "how do I declare a global variable?". His response of "there is no such thing, everything is a class" was the start of my hatred towards Java. It only grew from there :)

I just want something, anything at all, for my Redmi 14C. No luck so far.

A lot of people asking here in comments how the implementation would look like, given this is HN and the crowd here is technical inclined. No idea how they will do it but I can tell you how I did it in 2008.

See, in 2008 one of my projects had a client that had a lot of venues around continental US and Mexico and those venues were having sparse internet connection (think sky resort venue, remote and internet delivered by antennas that weather could affect it). Meaning when internet was not available any card transaction was a no go. This was a problem to be solved so my client asked if there is a way to make offline credit payments. So here is my implementation: -read credit card details and deliver the goods -> store card details in a local database, encrypted -> check online connectivity -> when internet was a go try to charge the card. If it was good then all was done, details were erased from local storage, everybody happy. If it failed then retry, 5 times per day, for 5 different days. After 25 tries, blacklist the credit card. Forward the information to legal department and mark that credit card as not acceptable from now on. So if you screwed the client with a bad credit card, you screw it only for 5 days maximum. And you also had a legal department on your ass. Meaning you got a fake card, good for you, keep it up cause now you are also on Secret Service radar (most people don't know but Secret Service, not FBI, gets involved in this). In the years I got involved in this project, 8 years, the number of times this was an issue raised to legal department was like under 5. So most folks actually pay and the few that got retried had probably a temporary problem with their funds and eventually they got it back on track. For those under 5 I think all of them eventually cut a deal with legal without raising the issue further up. Sorry guys, no juicy story involving Secret Service here.

Probably this worked because the goods were kinda under $50 as price. So maximum you'd screw the company I worked for like $500. And most likely this would not work with a big retailer like Amazon where you can purchase for thousand of $ in a single transaction. But it had the advantage that it worked with all credit cards, debit or otherwise, Visa/MasterCard or whatever. If I would be on the implementation side nowadays from the Sweden bank in this article, I would probably do it like somebody else already proposed here in comments. Get the card to also contain an electronic signature which means a lot more scrutiny to get it released, which means yeah!, your privacy is fucked to Alpha Centauri and back if you try anything shady.

Wait until we get to know another specie then we will not just fill that Unicode space, but we will ditch any utf-16 compatibility so fast that will make your head spin on a snivel.

Imagine the code points we'll need to represent an alien culture :).

It's also significantly bigger too, so in applications where size matter the RPi wins.

Never, but I can counter with "when do you absolutely need switch that can't be fulfilled with if-else"?

It's a nice to have that makes your life easier

I agree, Google is definitely the champion of respecting your privacy. Will definitely not train their model on your data if you pay them. I mean you should definitely just film yourself and give them everything, access to your files, phone records, even bank accounts. Just make sure to pay them those measly $200 and absolutely they will not share that data with anybody.

Voting should not be a right!! Voting should be a privilege, like driving is, and should be a points based system.

Don't downvote yet, hear me out on this, ok?

Upon hitting the lawful 18 (or 16 or whatever) you automatically have the "privilege" to vote, and your voting power is 1 (single) point. Then you are obliged to vote on your local/national elections. Too many people currently shit on their right to vote and do their research like in the night before elections. Instead make it an exam, and with 3 fails to vote you lose the privilege. Also you take the exam about current politics and parties, and raise your points up to, let's say 10. You want to have more voting power? Get fucking involved in politics. Local administration involvement? Cool beans bro, your new threshold is 20. County? 40. National (like a senator?), 80. All the way to the top, where members of government (ministries, heads of national agencies, president) get their max at 100.

Why this rant? Because I see the argument regarding Brexit with young vs. old thrown around here and is all true. If you'd have voting a privilege then people would care about it, like you care about your driving license. Current society has all the tech to actually give people a real democracy on their hands. Get involved one hour in your country politics. No need for a parliament full of old farts that all they do entire life is polish the chairs while sleeping and vote on laws according to their paying masters. President and ministry heads encounter problems, raise them in public forums, ideas gets formed around, laws are then formed based on those discussions and then put to vote. National vote. Like a fucking app. Easy to vote. One fucking hour of your day goes to politics instead of the idiotic sports because we have the idiocy running around where stars of different shows are more important than the fucking tax that actually has a more important impact on your finance. But hey, what dress Kartrashian wore or what football pass Beckham did is more important than the highway you use to drive to work, right?

Now you can downvote me.

They definitely tried that with MSSQL. Didn't worked so far. But M$ tactic is always the same. Copy, throw money, copy some more, throw more money. If doesn't work, change the CEO, throw more money until the rival is dead. So yeah, they are throwing money to try to suppress PGSQL from existence. They did that tactic with Delphi (bought the main guy from Borland and that's how we got C#), MSSQL is their answer to PostgreSQL, ASP is their answer to PHP and so on. Oh, and if you think "MS loves Linux" is anything but this tactic, think again - WSL/WSL2 is the proof they still trying to kill Linux.

Do they comeback? If so then they detect it and avoid it. If not then they crashed and mission accomplished.

I think you missed the point. The Faraday cage is built inside the truck's cargo, and I put the car inside the Faraday cage directly. I also dismantle the car while the truck is moving so when I reach the chop-shop the GPS and all the car's guts are ready for sale.

If I have a towing tool for your car, be sure I have a Faraday cage too to block all your GPS trackers while I dismantle the car. Think big truck that is isolated from both sound and electromagnetism and I simply hack at your car with my wrenches, selling your expensive Tesla for parts.

And how that will protect you from repeater attack? I just steal your car while you are in mall with this just as easy, encryption or not. I don't care about the signal, just that I capture it, send it to my other device near your car and kaboom!, your car unlocked.

I disagree. 12 V is not that much for an adult when you put it on your tongue, but with today's ubiquitous technology in everything, a toddler that puts everything in his mouth, will lead to a lot of distress and fears. I prefer the existing 5V. I suspect you are young and still not a parent.

Also, as a hobbyist, you can pretty much get a cheap PC power supply and transform it in a very professional "every volt and power under the sun" power supply for your hobbies. That's what I did.

I was joking in 2007, when I was working at Siemens, to my boss, that an Excel cell can contain God and the Multiverse when I put an ActiveX inside that was basically a program I made which would draw a 3D animation based on parameters contained on other cells. Let's say the boss was impressed though for me was just basic OLE.

I see from time to time that younger generations reinvent/rediscover the wheel and I chuckle.

You missed my point. US was not rich due to slavery, quite the contrary, after abolishing slavery, after (sic!) civil war, it became no. 1 economy in 1871.

Here is the list of GPD countries in 1861, before the start of civil war:

1 - China - $199.6 billion

2 - India - $125.7 billion

3 - United Kingdom - $85.8 billion

4 - France - $72.3 billion

5 - Germany (Prussia and other states) - $52.4 billion

6 - Russian Empire - $49.6 billion

7 - United States - $44.2 billion

8 - Japan - $33.0 billion

9 - Austria-Hungary - $30.1 billion

10 - Ottoman Empire - $17.5 billion

I stopped there. I am here to read news about tech, not propaganda lies. Also flagged this.

unknown. they barely suspect this, to your question is another leap in science for future generations of researchers

no. they are molecules, and they are let in by the barrier.

that a bacteria decided to "lemme make this dude ask a question on HN". On a serious note, it's already answered in the article - it means that our behavior is not only influenced by the gut bacteria (already proven), but the brain ones too.

All 10 falls under the old wisdom of "fast, cheap and quality, but you can only pick 2".

Do that in Japan and you're gonna be unemployed forever. You'll either open your own business (fat chance of that succeeding) or move abroad (again, with what money in your 20's?).

Quote: "To defend against concatenated ZIP files, Perception Point suggests that users and organizations use security solutions that support recursive unpacking."

That's the worse advice actually. You want the hidden shit to stay there unable to be seen by default programs. That's how you got all the crap in Windows mail starting from 90's when Outlook started to trying to be "smart" and automatically detect and run additional content. Be dumb and don't discover anything, let it rot in there. The only one that should do this is the antivirus, rest of unpackers/readers/whatever stay dumb.
