Reminds me of http://xmoto.tuxfamily.org/

I am playing xmoto for years and it is probably the only game that I install on some of mine machines.
Back when I did it (fifteen years ago admittedly) we would cook once a week when doing food technology, which was part of the technology rotation where we'd study a particular subject for six weeks or so. In practice that probably meant twelve weeks or so a year. At about 15 you had to choose a single technology subject to study, so those who weren't taking it further wouldn't do any more.

I seem to remember it being quite focused on commercial cooking - lots of theory on portion calculations and pricing everything accordingly, but we would end up cooking something relatively simple and worthwhile. The commercial side apparently became much more pronounced for those who opted to continue, one friend of mine must have spent several months cooking endless variations on cannelloni trying to optimise it.
> Contrived thought experiment: You have the magical power of either curing your own toothache, or curing the world of AIDS. You choose to cure your toothache because it affects you. I would argue you should have considered the alternative.

You then die when a tooth infection kills you.

Would it have not been more practical to safeguard such a vital national resource as the world's first wizard? Had you lived longer, what other ails of the world beyond just AIDS could you have cured as your powers recharged?

> The problem is not that you can't care about problems that are less severe than others, but given finite availability of "care" in your own mind and in the world, it is better to direct our "care" to where it can have the biggest impact.

Care is finite, but this is not a zero sum game. Caring properly for oneself is an investment - increasing your ability to care for others (by having a longer, healthier life), and gives you direct experience in what care may or may not be effective using yourself as a guinea pig.

Thank you for this web palette link, I've updated the colors to something hopefully more tolerable.
Thanks for the reminder, I actually had no idea 2.0 was out!

I spent a short amount of time experimenting with an earlier 1.x version. I personally need significantly more than 2k calories/day, and I also found that I lacked a lot of energy on days I'd go to the gym but had taken a lot of soylent beforehand.

Ultimately the best compromise for me was to take Soylent as a meal/drink in the morning when I'm less likely to typically consume food. Also maybe after a workout or something since each serving had a decent amount of protein. I'd typically also mix in chocolate whey protein as well.

I don't think I could ever fully meal-replace with it but I wouldn't mind having a serving every day, which is why I had been looking forward to 2.0 since it'd give me a very convenient grab-n-go meal whenever I wanted it.
Show HN: CodeHalf – Write Code Everyday, new design and new features
The geography of Pluto looks like the skin of a #reptilian
Here's a few off the top of my head:

Remaining in dysfunctional relationships because they can't bear to be alone.

Continuing to work a job which they're losing money on because its their identity.

Crippling debt, and its associated stress, accrued paying for things they hope will make the happy.

(In the US at least) medical bills.

All of those could easily have equal, or even more, negative effects on someone's life than an addiction, particularly an addiction they're able to support financially.

A lot of resources about writing programming languages on HN lately. Almost as much as about new JS frameworks a couple of years ago.

I like this trend, but this change has made me curious. Why?
I meant "find something when we need it" and remember it to be the same. I'm not trying to create a photographic memory. Short term memory is limited, and it requires repetition for something to sink into long-term memory.

How often have you looked something up (e.g. "how do I cherry pick in git?") only to forget it and then 2 months later to look up the same information again? For this we take notes.

I'm working on reducing the need to re-do the same process again and again, to making learning and remembering more efficient.
While I don't agree with all their decisions I think it safe to say that the only reason stack exchange has really good answers to overly moderate in the first place is because they don't allow subjective discussions. If they did, the knowledgeable people would quickly leave since their answers couldn't and wouldn't be correctly valued by those with less knowledge.
You can learn everything you need to know for free, at least to get started.

The only barrier to entry is having internet access and a computer and some spare time in the evening and on weekends.

"Two or three files" can also be a terrible idea if a project mushrooms. Nobody wants to wade around 2000 loc files just because its missing tooling, but I can def see your argument.
Hm, that doesn't match my experience with porting. You end up making a lot of changes to code for simple things like "list the files in a directory" or more intricate changes for complicated things like networking code or threading. Then you end up making a bunch of changes because the compiler you use on Windows is vastly different from GCC. Anything involving IPC will probably end up getting rewritten from scratch, along with any UIs that appear outside the game. Paths will have to be made case-sensitive for Linux ports. Endian issues had to be worked out on OS X ports (this was pre-2010).

Maybe we are porting different kinds of games?
Interestingly enough, ancient Indians(south Asia) recorded the speed of light to be 186k miles per second in 1500 BC. They did not document how they got that number but that is quite accurate!

Maybe not. I don't mind, I have incremental search. For me, wading around 200 files in subdirectories is more tedious. But it seems to be a matter of preference.
Yes, good memories. I was a member of Columbia and BMG clubs many times over the years, often with multiple memberships at a time for a decade or so in/after high school.

Note: this article does not explain the math at all, it is mostly about paying rent in Manhattan.

Despite what the article implies, it was easy to figure out if you can use a calculator and was an awesome deal. Add up the cost for all discs total, then divide by the number of them and voila, you'd end up paying something like $4.XX per CD with shipping. Which was amazing when stores were selling albums for $16 +/- $2. Then you'd cancel as soon as you tired of the mailings. I never knew why they did it but I didn't care.

In fact I built my ~500 CD selection that way. Probably 1/2 to 2/3 came from the clubs. Many of the rest bought used. Topical story because I just pulled them out of storage and are ripping them a final time to .flac and then will send them off somewhere.

Any tips on a service for that? I had found an interesting startup last year that would take your collection in bulk, rip, and put you in a marketplace to trade with others. But, unfortunately I've already lost the name and can't find it again.

edit: did the dvd club also around Y2k, was great also for a round or two before getting the axe. That was about the time a friend got me a DirecTV descrambler card so didn't sweat it.
I found the argument quite clear, as he explicitly says that automatic downloading is the problem here and that it's not happening in Windows, but in Chrome and Edge (just tried the test and my Firefox asked me if I want to download the dll).
the main reason I'd look into programming languages is because I feel some problems can't/shouldn't be solved with the same tools that created the problems. Problems that are currently not solved: Dealing with low-level systems programming, building parsers for data

> I bought completely into the whole "liberal arts" marketing sold by "elite" American college

Oh brother, this brings back some memories. I also swallowed this "liberal arts = food for soul" bullshit wholesale. Delayed choosing a major because I didn't "find my passion" and ended up getting a lot less out of college than I would've had I gone in with my high school get-shit-done mindset.
The weekly “cities” new gTLD report by Jean Guillon
(Looking back at comments, replying to this a bit later.)

1) Exactly. It's like spoiling a movie.

2) Hah, the postmortem is more about the Reddit interaction (write up about went well / things I'd change). I'm planning on working on the site as long as I can. It's a life mission at this point.

Learning has stayed enjoyable, I tend to write insights that really strike me and get excited to share. (Which leads to me studying it more and figuring out new insights.)

When learning is drudgery (this happens often), I tend to let the topic sit a bit, and I don't write publicly about it. The articles on the blog are what genuinely get me excited about the topic. I do think there's usually a way to see a topic that makes it come alive.

As an example, I'm working on quaternions. I have a large list of notes here: http://aha.betterexplained.com/t/quaternion/267 and I'm slowly getting an intuition that I'll then work into an article.

3) I like word problems because they force us to ask the uncomfortable question of whether we can think with the material (vs. follow the steps). That said, this check of whether you're thinking or following steps can be accomplished with other types of questions too. For me the method isn't as important as the outcome.

4) Good question. So far, my audience is typically people who are self-motivated (i.e., they have a test, are curious, need homework help, etc.) vs. giving a talk to a potentially uninterested audience. (Not intentionally uninterested, but a volunteer audience.)

The primary motivations to learn are probably:

* practicality

* curiosity

* beauty / awe

* sense of accomplishment

Depending on your audience you'd have to tailor it. But I think beauty/awe is more powerful than we think. Even for a technical talk, I'd get people see the aha! moment. It's the sugar that helps the medicine go down.
How on Earth did this make the front page? I mean, it's not that I ever get tired of seeing Massachusetts Yankees and California carpetbaggers use a magazine named after my hometown to tell us Southrons what they demand that we be, but I am somewhat surprised to see it here, of all places. Perhaps I shouldn't be.
It's called a "dark pattern" these days. JustFab is a prominent example and has been discussed on HN.
SpywareBlaster 5.2 Crack, Serial Keygen Full Free Download
That technology was fine, the policy and culture is what mattered. Likely people were making sales targets and bonuses and looked the other way at "fraud" that aligned with that goal.
Man pages are really already TLDR pages. They suck for introductory documentation (most times) but are really useful if you just can't quite remember the switch or its parameters.

I don't know what niche this is supposed to fill?
A couple of quotes from the OA

>> “You’re not supposed to be enjoying yourself this much,” even though we were incredibly productive. <<

Is it possible to have fun, go home at 6pm, and still be productive any more?

>> Especially looking at my younger friends in their late 20s, I feel bad for them, because they’re grinding. They’re working their asses off. They’re working so much harder than we did, and they’re barely having time for their own projects. One thing about the fat, Clintonian, CD money years, is that in New York, you could still skim off some of the industry money and be an artist. <<

Is this just an attack of the Good Old Days syndrome or is it evidence of a trend that will eventually cause the ossification of our cities?

PS: UK: Book of the month style 'clubs' had books in 'club edition' bindings to differentiate them. They did that default option is you bought that month's book deal as well. My parents did it for a bit, then stopped it.
My home was recently broken in to, so I researched security cameras that could save videos to Dropbox. Interestingly, most cameras only support FTP or email, so I wrote this to get mine connected to Dropbox :)
FWIW, this statistics mirrors well my own failure as a startuper. So even if I cannot judge the dataset, it looks at least worthy of attention as a sobbering checklist. Kudo to OP.
I remember something similar to that, we spent a chunk of time designing a box for the food to go in. But that doesn't seem to be on the curriculum any more, so that's progress.

(Studying boxes could be useful though, for example noticing the different ways companies emphasize nutritional information.)
I'm sure you're right, the REPL uses Linenoise which is single byte character only for example.

The only way to fix these problems though is to increase their use, so ultimately the end goal will be worth it. That seems to have been the Perl 6 mantra for a decade or so.
It failed for the same reason that the music industry failed. People stopped buying CDs, so loss-leading divisions were eliminated.
Indeed, Multics segments were mapped into your address space on demand, and the standard way to access them was as memory. As a '60s architecture, they had a maximum size of 1 MiB (of 9 bit bytes), and by the time I showed up on the scene there was a "multi-segment file" abstraction for those with data that fit into that model that was bigger than 1 MiB.
The music industry failed?
I like it because it introduces practical, real-world example commands. Most manpages don't offer those but instead list all parameters and potential input (1)

That's nice, but for a quick "which command do I need?" scenario I prefer the examples that `tldr` can provide.

(1) Yes, some manpages do provide examples at the very bottom, but not all manpages do.
Great! Got one for FF too? :)

Ask HN: Rebranding my application, my plan and a few questions
I'm trying to figure out market fit for my app and I'm starting to feel my message is not clear and that I may need a re-brand. I want to be meticulous about it coming up with a new name and a new tagline.
My plan to test them is to set Google Ads with that name and tagline and measure their catchiness by the click through rate and the accuracy of the message by how many people show interest in one way or another after clicking on the ad.

What do you think? Is this a good plan? Any improvements?

Alse, since I don't want to set up a new domain name for each new name I try, and I'd also would like to, if possible, convert some of these click throughs into sales (to not waste the ad expenses but also as a signal of the message working), my plan is to set a landing page per re-branding attempt at my current web site, but what do I do there? Should I just be honest and say something like "Thank you for your interest in X, it's actually named Y." Should I even go as to say that we are searching for a new brand?

My product allows to automatically repurpose idle computers at the office (while people are not actively using it) and turning them into dashboards showing information that can be useful for people at the office. Things like Google Analytics, Twitter activity, KISSmetrics, etc. It can also be used to set up permanent screens with the same web pages as it ensures they are up to date, fresh and rotates through them. We also allow custom CSS and JavaScript to run on each page so you can remove stuff you don't care about (like menus) or that you don't want to show in public displays (like account numbers).

What would you name such a product?

Bingo. Balance is the keyword.

Nice response overall to parent comment. But I felt, they also had a valid perspective. How many people you meet, who would analyze it in as much detail like yourself?

It is true that often peoples' problems can be lessened, if not fixed, by making some corrections. I agree with you in that, its foolish/naive to be very open about our problems to everybody. But, I thought, the parent was implying a pretence of "normal". In several situations a good and trusted friend may be able to advise and can be as helpful as a shrink.

I somewhat agree with your thoughts on money and other things like intelligence, beauty, health etc. If we try to think from a perspective of someone who does not have and never going to have one or more of these positives. In such scenarios when they hear, it doesn't matter. It makes them not lose too much of heart. It gives them a new paradigm to work with, one in which they are never going to have certain things.

A disabled person has to transcend their disability, at some level. So calling it all a lie is shallow/surface thinking, when some lies might help us achieve some larger truth.

What is the purpose of this, exactly? I assume it has to be some sort of performance optimization.

Hashcat probably isn't the best model for clean code, since its primary goal is to squeeze every drop of performance it can get.
Thats pretty much the same things that I would do using an IDE and step through debugger. I find an IDE far more convinient to navigate, but maybe thats just familiarity.
Japan, South Korea Reach Agreement on ‘Comfort Women’
It's not that people don't realize that proper nutrition is important. They don't want to give up their lifestyle of eating out at every trending restaurant or indulging in something not so good for you.

Stuff you shouldn't eat too much tends stimulate the release of mood altering hormones leading to an addiction.

After one or two decades of processed foods, people no longer know what to eat.

My doctor prescribes foods and it works really well. I'm really glad to see the industry is beginning to change.
> It's a ridiculous conclusion to draw.

Not really. My guess is you're young enough that you never had to deal with AT&T in their prime. Packet prioritization is the very beginning of what carriers would like to happen. But once they get it, each succeeding step gets easier.

The basic view of a dominant carrier is that they should get a piece of everything that passes through their network. Everything. And because they're enormous, they really only want to deal with other enormous entities. It's most convenient for them to skim 30% of everything if they deal with just a few other players who are also monopoly or oligopoly players.

Try to imagine what the Internet would be like if Ticketmaster were in charge. Or if you'd like to read the history, When Wizards Stay Up Late, an origin story of the Internet, gives some of the flavor of how much AT&T squeezed everything.

Or you could look at the history of the answering machine. It was originally invented by AT&T, but they suppressed the invention out of fear that it would cut down on call revenue. [1] They fought tooth and nail against letting other companies sell them; it wasn't until 1956 you were even allowed to strap something to your phone [2], and they prevented people making electrical connections to the telephone network until 1968 [3].

My guess: you were an unusual customer. I suspect the more typical case was somebody who never canceled and was not very disciplined about rejecting the selection of the month. So maybe they broke even or lost money on you. But they'd do well on the typical consumer, so it was fine by them.
The author, while indeed born in Massachusetts, is by all accounts a Southerner. Check her bio -- she even got her M.A. at Mississippi.

I just came here to say what an excellent piece of writing this was. I won't even dignify the rest of your comment, and honestly having read it here saddens me.
Nice article, I am working in a small company (Beintoo) dice september 2015 and we use AWS here. I think is a very interesting set if products and you can build any kind of business. For sure the advices given in the article are really useful, in fact I will apply them at my job place.

About comparison with other services, I was working in Deloitte Analytics before, managing the cloud services provided by IBM Softlayer. You cannot compare them, AWS offers many more and I was not really satisfied with SoftLayer, for example I had a problem with a network upgrade they did on January 2014 and I have lost a lot of data, with poor support to restore it. Also the starting price of 25$ per month is really expensive. AWS is far more mature and interesting.

Then for my own servers I use CloudAtCost cause is cheaper but if I run a business for sure I would go with AWS. If you gain money, is not that expensive and if you stick with Amazon advices and philosophy is very reliable.
