During the Amiga and Atari age, graphical games were possible, but expensive (in time, talent, determination) to create. Text adventures were not. Even though platforms at the time could execute graphical games, the developer overhead in creating them wasn't even close to equivalent.

As graphical games got easier to produce, that gap shrank, and text adventures did get less and less vital.

Would like to see this too. I'm sure they could do this without breaching their privacy, maybe have one person validate the data, then redact name, social, and other identifiable information.

Right, but that just makes Peloton even more attractive because now I don't even have to go to a gym, and I can take classes anytime I want in the comfort of my own home on my own schedule.
Like when they took over several square blocks of Seattle for a month and declared independence and weren't stopped by the cops until their private police force killed too many black teenagers?
I don't have a horse in this and I don't know the area to maybe spot something about it that makes it look worse, but isn't that/couldn't it just be 'kettling'?

>The question is, do you want a private corporation to dictate whether or not the government of the United States is able to communicate to the citizens?

no and luckily for you it cannot, because if the President of the US wants to speak on public matters he can do so through the White House press room.

However Donald J Trump, despite the fact that he thinks he is somehow synonymous with "The United States government", which he is not, can be thrown off any private platform that deems that necessary. Some people might have forgotten it over the last four years, but Donald Trump and his personal twitter account, and the office of the presidency, are not the same thing.
The Ryzen 5950x has 135 watt TDP in actual use. That’s roughly 8x the M1.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-di...

And Ryzen chips are offered with more cores, but that’s an extremely temporary advantage (reminds me of the friend who told me not to buy Apple stock because they didn’t have big screen phones).

When Apple fits 32 Firestorm cores in a 135 watt TDP package, AMD isn’t going to have an answer.
You can't exactly violate a curfew with a protest. Because the right to protest trumps the right of the government to dictate your movements.
Drag, layfabe, and LARP aren't any more or less honorable than each other.

Reality TV is a bit different in that it is intentionally deceptive.
I wouldn't be really shocked if this would turn out an Equifax-style attack (company negligence due to outdated software and lax security policies resulting to big advantages) combined with supply-chain attack (for customers of SolarWinds).
Slavery is when people are being treated as property. They are not free to go where they please, and are typically not compensated for their labor except for food and accommodation. So I don't really see how your quote relates to slavery?
Nothing is stopping anyone from doing what they think makes sense to them -- scientific studies should still be just that though, following sound principles to be able to draw realistic conclusions. If we use flawed studies to convince others that something is true, that doesn't seem fine to me.
You are assuming the intentions of the rioters yesterday were just "antigovernment" when they were really "pro-Trump," who is head of the federal executive branch, last I checked.

He has been whipping them into a frenzy for the last 4 years. Do you not see the irony in Trump calling out the government constantly when he sits in the most powerful seat?
Not exactly. However, I've been taking Vitamin D for a while now and I can't say that feel "more refreshed".
Email is good example of something that lasted. I think piecing it apart in more detail picking another few cases could let me clarify and solidify my arguments but like you HN is probably not the place for a detailed analysis.

Long term, I would hope that if Signal gets large enough market-share and stabilizes they would make the signal protocol federated.
I was on the design team of MPW.... yes they have escape hatches.

Are they suing using the Newton UI patent? I don't think so. Shipping and patenting 10 years later doesn't help. In fact this Apple could be prior art against itself.

This just weakens Apple's position.
> Whether or not something needs to pull consensus should be a business question, not a technical question

By its nature it’s a technical question with some crossover into business realm. The problem of consensus is technical, hard, full of strange hard-to-reason-about occurrences and second/third order effects. The decision to be made is whether some business thing needs those guarantees is still a technical decision.

> he biggest mistake out there right now is trying to abstract this stuff under the datastore and not allowing the business logic to access it directly

I think the issue with this is that there’s not a lot to be gained by allowing this, it’s incredibly complex as very easy to get subtly wrong-and I’ve seen very competent and very average devs get stuck on things that are comparatively far easier. Consensus is really hard.
A similarity might be when NoSQL databases were all the rage and everyone was throwing away relational databases and ACID, only to recreate them at app level from first principles, but worse. Putting it in a db doesn’t solve the problem for all cases of course, but I can understand why it’d solve a lot of them.
You are not alone: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23123701 and https://youtu.be/QVvFVwyElLY?t=2502

Like TFA points out, distributed consensus is punishingly hard. AWS relied on TLA+ to prove consensus in DynamoDB and other systems https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/tla/formal-methods-amazon....

Interestingly, Kinesis [0] and SQS (?) avoid consensus for those same reasons.

I have found that the people who keep pushing optimism are those who are already successful. It is not that being optimistic leads to success but that successful people are more inclined to feel optimistic.
What use would such a keylogger have, beyond general curiosity about "which words do i type most"?
Much more than a switch statement. Here's PEP 636, a tutorial: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0636/
Same here, their bias used to be in the form of leaving out a point of view, or bringing on a moron to represent a point of view as a punching bag. Or the opposing view was presented by someone slightly to the left vs someone on the far left. For the last four years it has been a reflection of fox news. I miss the old subtly biased npr.
Based on that description (haven't used D), it seems to cover similar grounds. But Rust's move semantics means that for message passing in particular you can protect against "use after send" issues.

Maybe so, but nobody's happy about cheap lawn furniture, for example, when they can't afford homes, healthcare, or education.

Mike Bloomberg has won every election he's run in, which is exactly 3 elections. Not the best example.
How do you even control for a placebo in a trial like this? I gotta imagine you're either going to know you're on mushrooms or you're not.
There is an amazing project of converting Emacs into the more modern language - Rust (the C parts of it). It is called REmacs[1]. It is sad that the port of Emacs to Guile[2] didn't work out. And for the people who want to convert their C code to Rust, I quite recommend trying c2rust[3] transpiler and refactoring tool.

What kind of realistic test is a truck tug of war? Do a test where you load the beds and another test with a heavy trailer. Put comparable tires on the f150 instead of mall crawlers. Take it through paved roads, an incline, unpaved roads, and maybe some snow or ice. All of this is just PR.

We all know the electric motor with have a torque advantage. What we don’t know is when the CyberTruck will over heat.

Does the Cybertruck have a clutch pack for AWD or have a low gear like the F150? What about a locking rear diff? Ask some Subaru owners what happens to their clutch pack when they did some serious off-roading.
sighsigh, you appear to have been hellbanned for the first comment in this thread, which was flagged enough times to get it killed. I can't reply directly to your posts for this reason. Your posts won't show up on people's pages unless individual posters have showdead turned on in their profile. I suggest you find a different outlet for your views.

I would suggest you figure out how to have a real conversation with someone instead of just spouting off whatever vaguely-logical, overly-reactionary BS that's on your mind, but it doesn't look like you're interested in that. Best of luck to you.
So all the defense the government used with the NSA database being overseen by the FISA court doesn't apply, there was no court oversight of this program.

To be fair, calling FISA a "court" is a bit of an overstatement[1].

It's very unlikely that FISA oversight would have stopped or changed this in any way. Nonetheless it might be interesting to learn why they skipped the fig leaf altogether in this case.

Yes, but that's an entirely different problem. It's not like imposing fees after a certain point of use will help that problem at all, it would make more sense to a) absorb it and raise the monthly subscription when necessary, b) charge per byte, c) charge based on your % of network, or charge maintenance or service fees and don't charge for bandwidth at all. The current, tiered model only makes sense to use "overloading the network" as an excuse to abuse monopolies and overcharge customers.
I would really like to know what happens when Im driving down a highway at say 60mph and browsing the web on my smartphone (or well let's say my wife is doing the driving and Im browsing the web :-) ). What kind of communication is happening between me and the cellphone towers? What data is my phone sending to the different cellphone towers as I drive by them? How does the cellphone tower send that data to the internet?
Does someone have a good pointer to a resource that would answer these questions?
The CSS is distributed in the Github repo, ostensibly under an open-source license, which the project maintainer has no right to use, distribute, or relicense. It's about as clear a case of copyright infringement as they come.

(And that's not even mentioning that reusing someone else's CSS likely requires you to reuse their markup, too.)
It's likely even simpler than that. At this point it's a matter of brute force to investigate the different factors in young vs old blood, isolate the ones that have the rejuvenating effects, and synthesize away, likely via programming bacteria to produce them.

They have already identified one candidate--GDF11--and there will likely be others. So it may be a matter of injecting yourself with a mix of appropriate synthetics every day or two.
It turns out they watched Downton Abbey, in which case it's a 15 second response. If they hadn't watched Downton Abbey - also 15 second response.

And, from reading the script - it's apparently the case that the same CSA will get scheduled in for short periods of time with the same customer - able to maintain a thread, and presumably, all the CSAs have the thread available to respond.
I've developed for the web (ranging from small one-script hacks, up to large commercial applications) for about 15 years. Much of this work has been in PHP, often using the CodeIgniter framework [1]. As far as PHP goes, I do like CI; it provides some semblance of an MVC environment, a predictable URL/parameter routing scheme, view templates, and so on. I have a CI custom controller I inherit from to publish my REST endpoints. Generally CI projects will tend toward a somewhat common/predictable structure, enhancing maintainability and team development.

But over the years I've also inherited some absolutely abhorrent PHP nightmare projects, whose design/coding decisions truly boggle the imagination. Often based on no framework at all, and apparently motivated largely by the developer's desire to use as many PHP and SQL features as possible in the same project.

Latterly I've been using python for some web projects. I played briefly with django, but I've found myself settling on Flask [2], a very nice "microframework" which is super easy to get running with, and which gives a great balance between power and stay-out-of-my-way-ness. It has a simple URL routing system based on function decorators and regex, the ability to factor your apps into reusable components based around your python modules, jinja2 templates, etc. I use sqlalchemy for db access.

Honestly I find it much more of a pleasure to be coding python/flask vs PHP/codeigniter, but due to team and project constraints it isn't always possible to go that way.

"Makers" don't make more money (her example is community manager vs programmer) because there is some abstract philosophical belief that makers are more valuable. Programmers make more money than community managers because there is more demand that is harder to fill.

Find yourself some quality finger hash. The is the sticky resinous stuff which comes off the cannabis flowers, not the pressed or extracted cannabis product.

Set aside three days for your meditation experience. Do not smoke on the first day, but instead spend the day meditating on calmness. Any anxieties or agitations should be resolved by the day of your smoking. Collect and prepare all the supplies (described further.) Prepare your environment, it should be pleasant, quiet, calm, and non-threatening. You should not be disturbed during the experience. Make sure you have ample writing paper and pens. If you're a typer, prepare your typing environment. Remember that paper is the most private method of saving information we have.

On the second day, brew yourself a big pot of coffee. Do this by pouring some clean just-boiled water over a couple of handfuls of freshly-ground coffee grounds a non-reactive glass or ceramic pot. Stir it, let it brew for about five to ten minutes, until all the grounds settle to the bottom. Pour it off into another non-reactive pot. You can cover it and put it in your oven to keep it warm. (You don't have to light the oven, just the insulation will be enough.)

Put the hash into a pipe and take one big inhale of it, hold it in for a bit, and exhale. Do not cough, even if you really want to, until you have full exhaled. (Coughing with smoke still in you will only make it worse.)

The most important thing to keep in mind during is that the experience is temporary, and will be over within a few hours. This means that you should try to make the most of it in terms of thinking, and you should also remain calm and breathe deeply and softly if you feel any agitation. Remember to write, otherwise most of your insights will be forgotten.

Spend the third day recuperating, and writing down any more thoughts which come to you. You will need that third day, trust me.

May this help you gain insight about yourself and your existence.

I haven't found any evidence that she posted anything offensive.

According to (https://reclaimthenet.org/literary-agent-fired-gab-parler/) and (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25924637) her Gab and Parler posts were mirrored from Twitter.

Newsweek's story on the firing (https://www.newsweek.com/literary-agents-firing-over-parler-...) doesn't mention any offensive posts on Gab.

None of the Reddit discussions I have looked at mention any offensive posts either; I would expect Reddit to find such posts if they had existed.
As long as money is relatively cheap (to borrow) for those qualified to borrow unaffordable housing is going to be a problem.

Cheap and easy loans increase demand. Increased demand increases prices. More and more are left out of the market (as buyer), are left to become renters (covering the cost of the inflated mortgages). Rinse and repeat.

In short: the problem with unaffordable housing is not simply solved by raising the minimum wage. In fact, that'll raise housing prices further by allowing the market to bear more.

Note: The same can be said of student loans and the cost of housing, sans the mortgage/lease bit.

Not my expertise but to show an ad there is usually a request to the server to send the graphics or similar so I guess they could track if that happens. Not sure if they do in practice.

I find this pretty entertaining, so I'm going to humor you.

Catholics (and most other humans[1]) believe that God has the power to do anything. In Catholicism, one of things God does is to literally transform wine into the blood of Jesus, even though it still looks and tastes like wine.

The fact that this defies logic isn't important to them because they believe God can do anything -- including things that humans are unable to understand with logic.

And, yes, it's ridiculous. Hope that helps.

My other thought is that, while it's not quite the same thing, if you look at modern movie studios, it starts to look a lot more like VCs than anything else. They hear pitches, they help develop promising ideas, fund pilots in the case of series, and green light a relative handful. So product studios seem more a variant on VCs than anything else.
Thank you! How do you think you can potentially use this?
Just think of Ada as "boomer Rust". It's great for when you have a well-specified project that can be coded in a top-down fashion, and correctness is a paramount concern. It enforces correctness through a very strong type system and a pointer model that forbids aliasing by default (pointers must be declared as 'aliased' to alias them), and the SPARK extensions provide even more guarantees, allowing you to formally specify contracts which the compiler will ensure are fulfilled.
With all this talk about China threating US national security. US actions is actively causing damages in china. Sanctions on Huawei for example is already resulting Huawei unable to build smartphones and other products. There are layoffs at huawei, all kind of suppliers, even sales people at huawei stores. If you count all the people related by Huawei's activities, its millions. Normal people, regular folks, who just want to earn a living to support their families. Now all of sudden out of jobs during an pandemic year because of political action by US government. They may have bills and mortgages to pay, kids to feed. Real people are suffering because of the actions of US gov. Chinese people's security is actually being damaged here. And where do these people go to protest for their rights and fight for what were theirs?
Regardless of any progress that has been made, I think anecdotal evidence is important here, and pretty much anybody who has actually used the system knows that it sucks. Nobody knows what to pay and what not to pay, for one thing. There isn't any trust - as many posters here describe, paying medical bills in the US is (feels like?) a constant struggle against being defrauded by both your insurance company and your doctor.

I always tell the same story in opposition to our current capitalist healthcare model:

1. When my oldest daughter was born 10 years ago with Spina Bifida we had private insurance through my employer. The premiums for this were something like $15,000/yr. At the time this was probably 1/3 of my total income.

2. Despite that, we continue to receive bills that we couldn't possibly pay for years after that.

3. Since my third child was born, the children have been covered by a state program (Georgia), and pretty much everything has been covered, no questions asked. As a consumer, this is pretty much all I care about.

I recognize that the current system is bad for the service providers as well, as evidenced by this article. The doctor in question gotten all he's gonna get from insurance companies. He has no hope of collecting this money, so he may as well turn it into good PR (cynical perspective, I guess, but that's me).
