Big publishers came back because Valve offered them a sweetheart deal, much better than what's offered to small devs. https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/30/18120577/valve-steam-gam...

> I suppose you can look at Rust macros as a different, infrastructure language on top of Rust. That's a strange take, not one I've heard anywhere else. Rust macros are code generators - they're run once at build time and

I was lucky to attend a workshop conducted by the maintainer of Rust's linter where we contributed to the project. In this post I wrote about my experience at the workshop and on a larger task I picked up afterwards. My experience was

Valve is cool, but they're only able to afford this style of development because they take a 30% cut of all PC gaming revenue. Not profits, revenue. When you're making that much money you can do whatever you want and still stay af

I respect the Economist’s business columnist (Schumpeter) and tech columnist (Babbage) but this seems to be a case of Schumpeter writing about tech. Leaving aside HN loving the idea of Big Tech being weakened by becoming Relatively Small Te

Take someone who's achieved something. Someone widely admired. Shit on them. Imply there was nothing impressive about what they did and it wasn't worth doing. That's HN.

There are few human endeavours that aren’t team efforts. Even if we aren’t collaborating day to day, we still stand on the shoulders of giants all the time.

No, it will have a massive impact on battery life. I only meant to say, a 50% decrease in consumption by CPU doesn't translate to doubling the battery life. All those other things matter too, so maybe it translates to 20-30% more. That

This is power consumption of (some of) the chips alone. That's pretty good, but the power consumption of the screen, cell radio, bluetooth, accelerometer, microphone, GPS - all of these add up to more than the power consumption by the

Shrines only exist for deified figures. Some kings did successfully deify themselves, to the point where they are still worshipped as Gods. This king wasn’t deified. Deification of kings sounds unusual, but it was quite a common tactic of p

This is obvious to those in the know, but the King you mention is quasi-fictional, in the sense that Achilles and Odysseus are. He’s mentioned in the Indian epic Mahabharata, which is similar to the Iliad in terms of age, scope and influenc

For what it’s worth, there isn’t much to learn with cloudflare pages. You grant it Oauth access to a particular repo, it builds master and serves the output directory. Only thing you specify is the build command and the output directory. Fo

I think for most part, this is what Indians want to believe. Even the folks on this thread. When I was a kid in school I didn't think the caste system existed in "modern" India because it wasn't something I spent any t

It’s just gatekeeping. The idea behind such gatekeeping is that you don’t want people who don’t understand the nuances of it to apply it blindly to situations where it doesn’t apply. For example, I have on a couple of occasions struggled to

All I see in every thread is this meta complaint about seeing this genre of comments too often. I find that pretty annoying. And yet, I don’t want to say my subjective experience is objective truth. Maybe I notice and remember the comments
