Half of these comments note how Myst captured the imagination. The other half make it clear how the authors had no imagination to spark.

Myst arrived at a turning point in computer gaming, where what it provided gamers was so much beyond what had come before the mind filled in the gaps (as gaping as they truly were, with our 20/20 hindsight).

Sad that some cannot even comprehend what this means.

Companies usually start to think and prep about IPOs 2 ~ 3 years out. The actual IPO process takes 6 ~ 9 months. People have crammed the process into just 3 months! I built a tool [1] to help startups assess IPO readiness. It's kinda fun to run it against your own employer.

It's a shame because games can be so much more than movies.

Her Story[1] manages to pair an interesting mechanic with with an engaging story. I really recommend setting aside an evening to try it if you haven't already.

It's a shame that the games industry seems to be allergic to using video in games. You can have video with interactivity and story-telling all in one package.

This project was led by Thomas Gable at Northern Michigan University, and was funded by individuals on Experiment, and has produced several publications and outputs [1].

One of the cool highlights is that he found out that wolves tend to ambush beavers near their dams and streams. They will wait downstream and do a sort of stake out. Then when the beaver swims by, the wolf will grab it, because it's harder for the beavers to swim back upstream.

There's another recent publication [2] from University of Washington, where researchers threw salmon carcasses to only one side of a stream for 20 years, and they went back and compared the trees on the banks. They guessed that the nutrients from salmon carcasses (taken out of the stream by bears, wolves, etc) ended up back into the trees and actually caused the trees on one side of the river to grow faster. I bet the natural predation of wolves and beavers does something similar near dams.

Anyways, rivers and streams are cool, and I'm super happy to have funded the project and seen Thomas' map go on the front page of reddit yesterday.

Cats are also very territorial. However, their behaviors in this regard are much more complex. They often "timeshare" a given territory, where each cat roams it only during certain times of day, so as to avoid potential conflicts.

> There have been many, perhaps endless attempts to synthesize a wholesome food product - it would be worth a fortune. I am aware of zero successes to date and this shouldn't be the case if its not very difficult. We don't even synthesize sugar for consumption - maybe start there, but it is not even clear if/how much it causes diabetes or other diseases.

There are lots of synthetic foods. The main problem is marketing. How are you going to sell your lab food when "processed" is bad and "natural" is good? The organic movement has taught people to distrust science in food, and its not something that is going to easily be reversed. The fact that most synthetic advances are used for cost reduction - not health doesn't help here either.

The only place where this has seen any adoption is synthetic meats. But I expect vegetable replacements to be many decades off - if ever.
The games themselves are mediocre, but the trilogy of novels (at least the first two), and the Myst and Riven soundtracks are things I will cherish forever.
The question wasn't whether a synthetic diet has side effects compared to a natural one, the question was whether we could accidentally "wipe out the human population".
This isn't the right solution for every place, but it's the right solution for Minneapolis. There's no shortage of land and quasi-affordable housing in the suburbs / exurbs - people who want that can move out and get the house they want for the money they'll collect for their more-valuable Minneapolis house.

But Minneapolis has been very dense for awhile and other bordering cities have done an excellent job at managing density and quietness - for example, the two adjacent cities Edina and Colombia Heights have been offering peace and quiet to Minneapolis residents since the freeways went in.

> HFCS is a really efficient way to produce sweet stuff.

Nowhere near as efficient as sugarcane. HFCS would not be produced, sold or consumed at anything approaching current levels without tariffs preventing the import of sugarcane.
Worst in what way?
“Using artificial sweeteners” vs “not using artificial sweeteners” doesn’t really tell you much. I mean it makes sense that people who use artificial sweeteners would have more excess mass since people who are dealing with that would seek artificial sweeteners in the first place. If you’re feeling fine about your weight you won’t bother with artificial sweeteners.

What would be interesting is if people who replaced the calories they ate that came from sugar with artificial sweeteners that are effectively no calorie and still had a greater increase in stored mass.

That said; the chance of a properly controlled food study is astronomical as you’d have to control people’s diets in near totality, for a large enough sample size, across years, which no one would agree to unless you planned to cover or subsidize their food costs over that time.
> “It took me so many years to realize that the power of all games are not with the characters but instead the actual environment.”

This is an interesting thing to read from the co-creator of a game franchise with a deep enough lore that multiple novels have been published in its universe. The characters in the Myst series are not insignificant – certainly the specter of Gehn in Riven, even though you actually meet him only briefly at the end of the game, is ever-present as you explore the world he ruled and bent to his will.

And yet, that seems to be exactly what Robyn Miller is talking about there: The character of Gehn is important, but the player gets to know him not through direct interaction, rather through exploring the environment. Gehn's screen time is an afterthought to the character development that derives from observing the obsessive details of the places he frequented and shaped. The environment is the character development.

Myst marked a turning point in environmental storytelling, and its effects have been felt all the way from the golden age of first-person shooters into the modern age of "walking simulators." Even when today's games take the overused shortcut of audio logs to fill in the details, the stages they set all track back to those curiously broken chairs in Sirrus' study that made you ask "wait, what happened here?"
Which is amazing.

You can do something perfectly legal in a given country, but then get denied entry to the USA because it's illegal there.

So, is Google guilty in this case? Because i think in UK, a group of iPhone users are suing them. More of a coding practices mistake than a specific company one?
True, a company has to enable it, though I wouldn't bet on employees necessarily being notified. Slack's help site page about message export doesn't mention anything about notifying employees on higher tier paid plans (though that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't happen) [1]. Either way, I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that Slack would happily disable that feature if a seven figure deal were on the line.

All that said, it's also not really true that "your boss" can read your private messages, in practice most of the time. Most companies that do this kind of data export just dump it to a warehouse and hold it for safe keeping just in case. Some random director of engineering probably couldn't get access to it unless they were willing to jump through a lot of hoops. Though, Slack's Discovery API does seem to make it easy to create user-friendly interfaces for searching through private messages. But I doubt a lot of companies are doing that.

Ah, thanks for the links, very useful.

Do I understand correctly that you're checking CPU usage immediately after having scrolled up/down, or while scrolling up/down, right?

Apparently, there are already people working on that bug. If I understand things correctly, Firefox uses transparent windows, but transparent windows use lots of CPU on some macOS configurations, and this somehow wasn't detected during testing (I imagine that the computers used for testing didn't have these configurations).

If this is the same bug, as is likely, the bug is identified and developers are working on it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429522 . If you wish, you may leave a message on that bug mentioning that you are available for profiling and testing a fix.

It is my impression (but don't take my word on it) that the fix will ship in Firefox 65, which is currently in Nightly. Now, I'm not sure that the fix has already landed in the current Nightlies, but do you have the possibility of testing on Firefox Nightly if the problem is still present?

(usual caveat: Nightly has Telemetry activated by default – if you don't like Telemetry, don't forget to disable it)

Do you find humanity worthwhile? If you do, then you should be concerned about starting a process that will lead to the end of humanity.

Just because we are able to split an atom doesn't mean we should end the world through nuclear weapons. Just because we can genetically modify humans doesn't mean we should end DNA-based life on earth through a phenotypic revolution.

It wouldn't be as immediate (likely thousands of years at the shortest), but genetic modifying of humans could start us down the irreversible path within the next 10-50 years. I encourage you to read the book, since it gives the entire overview of the updated hypothesis. It's not a sci-fi novel, just a Biology book with a warning.
Your logic is flawed. A MIPS-vs-MIPS comparison is justified, because the VGA card's chunky framebuffer meant you could update a lone pixel in one instruction, whereas the Amiga's planar framebuffer would require 5 separate passes (if e.g. in 32 color mode) to update the same single pixel.
Sure, the basic idea is to separate data transfer from what I call locking. Data transfer can be done quickly, then locking can happen passively at whatever rate it needs.

Data transfer can take many forms. A simple example is an array of needles,pointing downward, forming a horizontal plane. The plane of needles is withdrawn upward through a granular material and dropplets of glue bind the material only where it should be hardened. In this example there is a resolution tradeoff, but you can see that the "printing" is basically completed in one pass of the plane through the print volume.

Holographic processes could transfer data to the entire volume at once.

The key is looking at the problem as a data transfer problem. We are very good at moving data very quickly.
Language compare and contrast is whats interesting to me.

I don't use either day to day but have had some exposure to both. I think both languages will have influence on future of language design at a minimum. Doubtful Perl does a phoenix routine but weirder things have happened.

Interviewing for large companies should tell you if you're ready or not. Chances are not, if you don't have a formal CS edu, because the typical questions are not to make something that works, but to describe algos and data structs.

I think you'd have better chances entering in a large company in a product, non-eng capacity, and then transition internally. That's always seen very positively, and you can get all the support you need.

The alternative is to found another startup and stay technical from the very beginning, you should have a good network to do so.

Not only that, but often people will justify a larger calorie consumption because the diet soda is free. I imagine that this sort of thing would need to be tightly controlled for and show a direct mechanism of action. Especially since low calorie sweeteners vary so much in possible delivery and in structure (aspertame being an amino acid, sucralose a sugar alcohol, and using the powdered forms come mixed with maltodextrin, which is real sugar, but the liquid forms not having it).
I second this. The web version is a mess of Skype and ads. But the iOS app is quite nice. It's got a built in calendar view with contacts.
Why would Perl repeat the same mistake as others, of trying to treat a programming language too much like a natural language? It's optimized to be read as a programming language, not anything else.

Also, "cryptic charade" could be a good name for what all non-Perl 6 languages call "regular expressions". It would make an even better name for a prog rock band.

Who reports: steps to reproduce, details on system (browser, version, OS, whatever is relevant). Component(s) if known (assuming a big system/company).

I particularly appreciate when who files the bug spends the time to minimize the steps to repro and tests on multiple platforms to understand the scope (or, he/she clearly says "I couldn't test on other platforms").

Who triages: assign priority, define expected behavior if not clear already, mark duplicates, close non-repro or won't fix.
